After giving these orders, Lu Chen led an army of 13,000 and rushed out from the direction of the south city gate.

Not long after Lu Chen left the station, the Xuanwu Army Jiedu envoy knew about their movements.

After learning that the enemy army in the city actually dispatched more than 10,000 soldiers and horses again, Xuanwu Junjiedu's face showed surprise.

According to the information he had received before, the enemy army was only 30,000 or 40,000. Now more than 20,000 troops have left the city one after another, plus the soldiers and horses stationed in Yingzhou City, according to common sense, there should not be many troops in Chenzhou City.

But why did the enemy do this? Don't they know that there are still nearly 20,000 enemy troops stationed outside the city?

Just when the Xuanwu Army was hesitating, one of his staff members came over. Seeing this staff, Xuanwu Junjiedu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he immediately told him the news. This person is one of the few staff under him who can be trusted.

After hearing this, he saw that this staff member thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "My lord, according to the current situation, we can send troops!" ”

"I've thought about attacking the city, but what if it's a trap? With 20,000 troops, once there are heavy losses, our advantage will be gone, and it is even possible that the enemy will seize this opportunity and crush our army on all fronts."

"General, the enemy may have done this on purpose because they knew you were acting cautiously. Moreover, if the general does not act, then the 20,000 troops we sent before may be in danger! ”

After hearing this person's persuasion, the Xuanwu Army Jie Du thought for a long time, and then made up his mind, "Okay, I will send 5,000 elite soldiers to find out the truth first." Even if this is a trap for the enemy, the loss of 5,000 soldiers and horses will not have much impact on the army."

After that, the Xuanwu Army Jie Du immediately called one of his generals. Order him to immediately gather his troops and attack Chenzhou City!

A moment later, this person led more than 5,000 soldiers and horses to the outside of Chenzhou City.

And the general on the city wall, after seeing the enemy army outside, secretly exclaimed in his heart, "The general really expected things like a god, and he didn't expect that the other party really just sent 5,000 soldiers and horses to find out the truth."

After the exclamation, the general's face became solemn. Lu Chen left him with only 2,000 troops to defend the city. Moreover, the two thousand men were to guard the four gates. Therefore, there are only more than 1,200 troops that can be mobilized to stop these 5,000 troops. With such a small number of people, it is naturally impossible to stop the attack of 5,000 enemy troops. Therefore, it didn't take long for the 5,000-strong army to stare at the rain of arrows and come to the north gate.

Of course, in the process, the enemy also lost more than a thousand troops. After all, they were the besieging side, and the loss of some men was to be expected.

At this time, I saw that the enemy army had come to the city gate. The general, who was directing the battle on the city wall, immediately ordered more than 2,000 soldiers to come to the city wall on both sides of the city gate. As for the outer city wall, only more than 200 troops were left to block the enemy army at this time. The soldiers who came to both sides of the gate at this time aimed their bows and arrows at the entrance of the gate below, apparently preparing to ambush the enemy troops rushing in.

At the same time, the enemy troops outside the city gate had already pushed the rushing cart, came to the city gate, and began to ram the city gate.

Seeing this scene, the general on the city wall immediately made a few gestures to the few people beside him. saw a few soldiers immediately whispering a few words to the soldiers beside them. After hearing the general's order, the soldiers continued to convey the order to the people next to them.

After passing the news, he saw that among the more than 1,000 people, about 300 soldiers took out a black ball from the package behind him. These black bombs were secretly distributed to them by Lu Chen before he left.

Now they did not hesitate to receive the order, and immediately took it out. Although they don't know much about this terrifying weapon of war, after all, when they were in Luzhou City, they had all seen how Lu Chen used it, and they still knew how to draw a scoop according to the gourd. At this moment, someone behind them had already lit some firewood, apparently used to set off a bomb.

Rumble~

Suddenly, a muffled sound came from below. Their heavy gates were finally breached by the enemy.

Seeing this scene, the soldiers on the city wall set up bows and shot arrows one after another. The enemy soldiers, who had just rushed into the city, were killed almost instantaneously by the indiscriminate arrows.

However, the enemy troops behind seemed to be not afraid of death, and still rushed into the city.

Moments later, after paying the price of corpses, the enemy finally broke through the rain of arrows and rushed into the city. After someone rushed in, more and more enemy troops from behind rushed in. At this time, seeing that most of the enemy troops below had already entered the city, the general on the city wall immediately waved his hand. But I saw that the more than 300 soldiers with bombs on the city wall came to light the bombs with firewood, and then threw them at the enemy troops who rushed in.

It didn't take long for more than 600 bombs to be dropped into the enemy forces below.

Immediately after, a terrifying explosion came from below. Even these soldiers standing on both sides of the city wall were affected by the aftermath of the explosion at this time, and they retreated to the rear.

After a long time, the aftermath of the explosion below gradually dissipated, revealing its original appearance. Only then did the soldiers on both sides of the city wall dare to look cautiously downward.

What unfolded before their eyes was a mess, full of large pits. As for the enemy soldiers who rushed in, along with the corpses on the ground, they were all blown to pieces, mixed with the dirt and turned into bloody mud, which was like a purgatory-like scene, and the stomachs of these soldiers churned when they saw it.

And the few enemy troops outside the city who had not yet entered were also stunned one by one after seeing the scene in front of them. Soon, someone came to their senses, shouted and turned and fled into the distance. Immediately after, the rest of the enemy forces also looked terrified and fled into the distance.

The generals on the city wall, looking at the potholed ground, immediately ordered people to repair the city gate first. As for the rest of the people, they went to find the dirt and covered all the blood and mud below, Rao is a veteran of many battles, and it was a little difficult to accept the scene in front of him.

After the indiscriminate bombardment just now, at least more than 3,000 enemy soldiers were killed in it, plus the more than 1,000 enemy soldiers who were killed by them with bows and arrows before, and less than 1,000 people fled.

At the same time, the enemy troops who fled back reported the course of this battle to the Xuanwu Army in great detail. After hearing about this horrific unknown means. The Xuanwu Army's envoy was also jealous, and after pondering for a long time, he slowly came back to his senses and sighed, "Fortunately, I didn't send a large army to attack the city before, otherwise, I am afraid that the loss this time would be more than four or five thousand people."
