Chapter 352: The Governor's Attitude!

Lu Chen looked at the geographical location of Luzhou City, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis Luzhou city is located at the junction of the Wen River and the Tuojiang River, because the city was built on the plain on the bank of the river. Therefore, the terrain of Minzhou City is much lower than the surrounding areas. The Tuojiang River joins the Wen River here, so the water flow is particularly turbulent.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately said, "We can attack with water!" ”

Hearing this, whether it was Luo Gong or Long Yan, their eyes were full of light. Wu Deng also nodded in agreement, "That's a good idea!" However, if Lu Gongzi really used water attack, he was not afraid of drowning the civilians in the city as well? At that time, even if Lu Gongzi occupies Luzhou City, I am afraid it will only be an empty city."

Hearing Wu Deng's concern, Lu Chen nodded and said, "What you said is indeed a problem, but as long as we control the gap in the river, this kind of thing will not happen." We just want to force the defenders in Luzhou City and fight a fair battle with us, and we don't really want to flood Luzhou City.

Hearing Lu Chen's righteous words, all the generals and "........." forced others to be like this, is this really a fair battle?

Now that they had decided to attack with water, they followed the river and found the most turbulent place, intending to dig a gap from here. After all, the water at the confluence of the two rivers is more ferocious and turbulent.

Of course, they didn't dig this gap immediately, after all, they haven't been in contact with the governor of Luzhou City yet, and they don't know what the other party's attitude is. If the other party is willing to surrender, Lu Chen doesn't need to use this method. After all, once Luzhou City is flooded, it will definitely be impossible to avoid a large number of civilians being drowned. Therefore, this method is not a last resort, and Lu Chen is unwilling to use it.

Lu Chen first asked Long Yan to transfer 1,000 infantry, and then Lu Chen led the march towards Luzhou City to test the attitude of this governor. As for the others, they were waiting for news of the landing dust.

Since this place is not very far from Luzhou City, after walking for half a day, they saw the majestic city standing in front of them.

Luzhou City, a famous city that should be prosperous and full of pedestrians, seems a little deserted when you see it. In front of the city gates in all four directions, there are hardly any pedestrians. Even the occasional pedestrian, one or two, hurried towards the city, and at the city gate, there were a large number of soldiers stationed there.

Suddenly, a soldier on the city wall who was observing the pedestrians suddenly stared, and he saw a team of soldiers and horses appear in the distance. Although it was still very vague, he could be sure that the other party was definitely not an ordinary mountain bandit. From the neat formation of the other party and the clothes of the other party, it can be seen that it is a well-trained elite soldier who has come!

Thinking of this, the soldier hurried to their squad leader and quickly explained the situation. Hearing the news of the soldiers, the squad leader also hurriedly climbed the city wall, and by this time the group of soldiers was clearly visible. Seeing this scene, the squad leader immediately shouted to the soldiers at the city gate, "Close the city gate!" There is an enemy attack! “

Hearing this, the soldiers who were checking the passers-by did not have time to check, and forcibly drove everyone into the city, and then they hurriedly closed the city gates. As for the squad leader, he had already rushed to the Governor's Mansion at this time to report the situation here.

A moment later, Lu Chen and the others came to the city of Luzhou. Looking at the towering and thick city wall in front of him, Lu Chen had already guessed the answer in his heart. It has such an easy-to-defend and hard-to-attack defense, and has plenty of troops in hand. There is also the huge Luzhou City as the backing, so there is no need to worry about the problem of grain and grass at all. Let's ask, with such a unique condition, which general will easily give up this city?

Lu Chen was thinking about it, and Long Yan next to him had already begun to shout at the defenders on the city wall, "We are entrusted by the envoy of Shannan West Dao Jiedu to take over Luzhou City!" I have in my hands the military orders of the Temperance Envoy, and besides, these soldiers behind me, I think some of you must also know them. They are all loyal soldiers to the Temperance Envoys, and if you don't believe me, ask them! ”

When Long Yan's words were finished, he only saw a cold snort coming from the city wall, "You murdered the Jiedu envoy, and now you want to deceive Luzhou City?" Don't! ”

Hearing this person's words, Lu Chen knew that the other party didn't want to belong to him. However, he still symbolically said, "If you don't believe it, you can verify it with me." Lu believes that everyone's eyes are bright, and I hope that everyone will not be blinded by some people with ulterior motives! ”

"Hmph, how can we rebel after we have followed the Jiedu envoy for many years? But what are your intentions in trying to deceive the gates of the city? ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen no longer entangled with them, and said loudly, "I hope Lord Governor will not regret today's decision!" Remove! After speaking, Lu Chen immediately shouted and retreated, and then, he took the lead in riding a horse and galloping away into the distance.

Seeing that Lu Chen actually walked so neatly, those generals on the city wall immediately showed worry on their faces, and the other party retreated so easily, which made them feel a little bottomless in their hearts. Seeing that his generals were more or less worried, the Governor sneered, "You don't have to worry so much, although our Luzhou City is not dangerous, but after all these years of operation by the Governor of Bendu, it is also easy to defend and difficult to attack." I don't believe they can get in. Not long ago, I had received information that they had only 10,000 troops attacking this time. If we fight elsewhere, we may not be able to defeat each other. But if we want to attack the city, without 20,000 people, we don't need to worry at all! ”

Hearing that their governors were so confident, these generals were no longer worried, after all, this Luzhou city was indeed as easy to defend and difficult to attack as the governor's mansion said. At least in their opinion, it would be difficult for less than 20,000 soldiers to storm the walls. Even if there are 20,000 enemy troops, they can completely unite the major families in Luzhou City. The private soldiers of those families combined are at least five or six thousand, and this is only on the surface.

Therefore, after hearing Lu Chen's words, although these people were a little worried about the upcoming battle, they did not panic much. They were convinced that the big families in the city would definitely help.

In fact, it is true that on the evening of the same day, the patriarchs of several major families in Luzhou City gathered in the Governor's Mansion to discuss the matter of defending the city. Because these big families took the initiative to send some private soldiers to assist the governor in defense, they quickly negotiated. In the end, these big families sent a total of 4,000 troops, and the governor also sent 4,000 troops, a total of 8,000 defenders to defend all the walls of Luzhou City.
