This is what Luo Rucai and Liu Bao did not expect, they were originally ordered to capture Shaanzhou and resist the attack of the officials and troops in the direction of Tongguan, so their main energy was basically invested in the direction of Tongguan, but what everyone didn't expect was that Xiong Wencan would choose to suddenly send Li Guoqi to attack Lu from the south of Lushi County at this time, and the result was that the Xingtian Army in the south of Lushi County basically did not have any heavy troops to defend it, and Gao Shuxian, the general of Lu's guard, led his troops to the south of the county to arrange defenses when he learned the news. The township soldiers from various townships and villages were mobilized to piece together 3,000 people, but under the first battle, after all, they were inferior to these Shaanxi soldiers under Li Guoqi's command in terms of equipment and drills, and as a result, Gao Shuxian was defeated in the south of Luanchuan Town, Gao Shuxian died on the spot, and Luanchuan Town was also attacked by Li Guoqi.

And Li Guoqi took advantage of the fact that Luo Rucai and Liu Bao led the main force to fight in Lingbao, and after taking Luanchuan Town, he soon raised troops to kill Lu's county again, shouting that within five days, he would take down Lu's county and recover Lu's county.

The situation in Lushi County at this time is very dangerous, because Gao Shuxian died in Luanchuan Town, and the Lu family has no guards for the time being, leaving only a civilian official named Wang Qinian (Super Dragon Set appeared) to sit in Lushi County, and there are only a small number of reserve battalion soldiers and horses left in Lushi County, and when the news of Gao Shuxian's death was transmitted back to Lu's family, Wang Qinian had no time to ask Luo Rucai and Liu Bao for help.

At present, because Xiao Tianjian is not called the king, he has not officially awarded officials for the time being, but simply divided the civil and military forces and established a civil and military system, so although this Wang Qinian has no formal official position, he is actually the magistrate of Lushi County, and the offensive action arranged by Xiao Tianjian this time, as Wang Qinian is aware, he was a little worried about this plan at first, afraid that the remaining troops in Lushi County would be too few, but because Xiao Tianjian had made up his mind, he could not raise any objections. Moreover, Liu Bao and Luo Rucai's actions in Shaanzhou cannot be contained, so Wang Qinian can only cooperate.

But trouble still appeared in the end, Li Guoqi suddenly attacked the south of Lushi County, Gao Shu first pieced together some township Yong to meet the battle and died in front of the two armies, and suddenly the south gate of Lushi County was announced to be opened by Li Guoqi, and Lushi County immediately fell into a crisis.

But Wang Qinian did not panic, on the one hand, he sent people to hurriedly rush to Luo Rucai and Liu Bao in the direction of Lingbao, on the other hand, he immediately ordered all the township soldiers around Lushi County to assemble, and ordered the people of all townships and villages to evacuate to the mountains to take shelter, as much as possible to clear the wilderness, to prevent Li Guoqi from leading his troops to harm the people.

At the same time, he immediately ordered several military workshops outside the city to stop production, and all craftsmen buried the iron tools as quickly as possible, and then withdrew into the county town of Lushi, to ensure that these treasures of the Xingtian Army were not slaughtered by the official army, in short, he insisted until Luo Rucai and Liu Bao sent troops back to Lushi County to help Lushi County, and to reduce the damage of the war disaster suffered by Lushi County as much as possible.

Wang Qinian's series of actions were carried out by his subordinates at a rapid speed, and the emphasis in the Xingtian Army was efficiency, and no one dared to procrastinate, so once the order was issued, Wang Qinian, who was temporarily the supreme governor of Lushi County, had to carry it out, and the evacuation work in various places could almost be said to have been carried out by the security chiefs at a rapid pace, and groups of young and strong township soldiers began to assemble in various townships and villages, and the people buried their farm tools and grain, and abandoned the village with a small amount of food, and sneaked into the mountains. The township soldiers took up their weapons under the leadership of the security chiefs and gathered towards the county seat of Lushi in batches.

The craftsmen in the craftsman camp also put down their work one after another, buried important things such as tools and iron materials on the spot, camouflaged them with things in the branches, and then moved to the county seat of Lu in large numbers under the escort of the guards.

Lushi County soon gathered thousands of township soldiers, although these township soldiers are not regular troops, but they have also received more or less training from their security chiefs, although they heard that the official army is coming, but under the leadership of the security chiefs, they are not too panicked, although nervousness is inevitable, but they can still obey the dispatch of the security chiefs, after all, they finally lived a stable life here, and no one wants to be harmed by the officers and soldiers anymore, so whether they are afraid or not, at this time, many local people, still chose to pick up weapons without hesitation, and followed the chief to the county seat of Lushi, not to do anything else, just to defend their last paradise where they could survive.

Li Guoqi did not disappoint Wang Qinian, after capturing Luanchuan Town, in order to reward his officers and soldiers, he first plundered the army for two days, and it was precisely because of these two days that Wang Qinian had more time to prepare to complete the mobilization and preparation of Lushi County.

Li Guoqi gathered the officers and soldiers all the way to the road to the city of Lushi, only to realize that he might have been delayed in the past two days, because along the way, almost every village he saw was a scene of people going to empty houses, and he wanted to plunder the general army, but they had no way to start, and there was hardly even a figure to see along the way, although he could also guess that the people had fled into the nearby mountains to hide, but after all, his main goal at the moment was to recover the county seat of Lushi, so he had no intention of going to the mountains to search for these fleeing people. He just ordered these villages along the way to be burned down, and then oversaw the army all the way to the county seat of Lushi.

But when he arrived at the county seat of Lushi, he found that this place had already been a strong wall, and even some of the houses outside the city wall were demolished at this time to prevent officers and soldiers from attacking the city from these houses, and the villages around the city were even more empty, and even if he wanted to catch a group of people to come to help the war, there was nowhere to catch it, and the thief army had already cleaned the local area very thoroughly, leaving them almost nothing, and the angry Li Guoqi could only order to start attacking the city.

The result is that Li Guoqi still underestimated the will of the township soldiers in the city to resist, although the reserve battalion and the township soldiers in the city did not have a few sharp bird guns in their hands, but the bow and crossbow were not very lacking, and there were some captured miscellaneous artillery on the city, Wang Qinian led the township soldiers in the city to carry out a very stubborn resistance, although Li Guoqi led his troops to storm for several days, but was repeatedly repelled by the township soldiers of the Xingtian Army who defended the city, but the soldiers and horses under Li Guoqi's command were demoralized, I don't have the ferocity I had when I first arrived.

Later, in order to deter the resistance in the city, they still managed to send soldiers and horses, searched for hundreds of local people nearby, drove them all to the city, and used them as human shields, so that the officials and soldiers followed these ordinary people to attack the city, and used their bodies to defend against arrows.

In this way, the resistance in the city suddenly weakened, and the township soldiers in the city looked at the people crying below, and even the families of some of the township soldiers were among them.

Wang Qinian was sweating profusely in the city, and he couldn't help but hesitate, after all, if he ordered to release arrows, these unarmed people would be shot in large numbers, and he really couldn't afford the charge of killing good, but if he didn't give the order to fire artillery and arrows, the officers and soldiers were likely to take advantage of the cover of these ordinary people to attack the city, and with the combat effectiveness and equipment quality of the township soldiers, it was likely that they would not be able to stop these officers and soldiers, and eventually lose the county seat of Lushi.

But what does it mean to lose the county seat of the Lu family, he knows better than anyone else, there are now a large number of craftsmen in the city who are regarded as treasures by Xiao Tianjian, as well as a large number of grain and silver reserves, once the county seat is lost, the foundation of the Xingtianjun in Henan will be shaken, and if you want to recover in a short time, it will be very difficult, at least Xiao Tianjian will be furious about it, and he will not be able to afford it at that time.

Seeing that a large number of officials and soldiers escorted these ordinary people have arrived under the city and can attack the city wall at any time, Wang Qinian's face was pale, and suddenly he flicked the hem of his robe, knelt on the city wall with a plop, and kowtowed a few times to the people under the city. It's my Wang who is incompetent and can't save everyone's lives, but we can't lose Lu's county town in this battle, so we can only offend you! The brothers in the city, it's not that Wang is ruthless, but that the officials and soldiers are too shameless! If you don't fire again, the Lu clan will be lost, and you will no longer be able to live here! Only to defeat the officers and soldiers, if the marshal is to blame afterwards, then it will be all my Wang Qinian to blame! Don't hesitate! Shoot the arrows! Fire! ”

In their eyes, an official like Wang Qinian should be a person on the top, but today he knelt on the ground, kowtowing and praying like them, although he couldn't bear to start, but Wang Qinian made it clear that Lushi County could not be lost, and once it was lost, they would all die, so at this time, even if they were reluctant in their hearts, they could not hesitate.

So some of the security chiefs first picked up the bows and crossbows and shouted: "Lord Wang is right, Lushi County can't be lost!" Hit! ”

After the call, they took the lead in starting to shoot their bows and arrows at the officers and soldiers who followed the people under the city, and at this time, the others could not hesitate any longer, so the villagers began to fight back with tears and tears, and a cluster of arrows rained down like dark clouds, and several artillery pieces roared, and the rolling wood and stones also rained down.

The common people in the city were also enraged at this time, and many of them scolded and suddenly turned their heads, and pounced on the officers and soldiers who were threatening them with their bare hands, and fought with them.

The rain of arrows and bullets sprinkled between them, both the common people were shot under the city, and the officers and soldiers were also knocked to the ground, and the officers and soldiers frantically slaughtered these ordinary people who were on the verge of counterattacking, regardless of men, women and children, they were slaughtered under the city, and immediately hundreds of corpses of ordinary people fell under the city, and there were also some corpses of officers and soldiers mixed in the period.

Li Guoqi didn't expect that the Xingtian Army would be so popular, and the captured people would fight back desperately, and even more the artillery stones on the city would fall like rain, and from time to time some explosive thunderbolts would fall into the crowd of his officers and soldiers, rumbling, killing and injuring groups of officers and soldiers and making a terrible scream.

Even the officers and men who had already climbed the ladder were either shot down by arrows or knocked over by rolling wood and stones, and buckets of boiling water and stinking golden soup were poured head-on from the city, burning the skin and flesh of the officers and men and making them miserable.
