Chapter 365: Battle on Both Sides!
From beginning to end, Lu Chen was indifferent. Huo Ranwen ???.? r?a?n?? After these people left, Lu Chen looked at the remaining people with interest and asked, "Why are you still here?" ”
Hearing Lu Chen's inquiry, although these people didn't understand Lu Chen's attitude in their hearts, they still explained, "When we came, our family master said that we must assist the general to win this battle. If the general is defeated, we don't have to go back. So even if we go back now, I'm afraid the head of the family won't spare us."
Hearing this, he saw that Lu Chen's face had softened a lot. Immediately, he smiled and said, "Lu, apologize to you for what happened just now." The reason why I did this just now was just to see how many people really wanted to work with me. I'm glad you're here, even though I can't promise you any etiquette right now. However, I, Lu Chen, guarantee with my character that as long as we win this battle, Lu will be grateful! ”
After speaking, Lu Chen didn't say anything more, but asked them to attack in one direction in the city, and it was best to break through the defense line that the other party had just set up in the city from the side. As for Lu Chen, he led 8,000 soldiers and horses and continued to attack the main force of the defenders.
Although Lu Chen's strength is not much different from the number of defenders on the opposite side, Lu Chen's hands can have guns and crossbowmen. As soon as the opponent shows his head, sharp arrows will shoot at him. For a while, the defenders of those big families were directly suppressed and couldn't make a move.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chen immediately ordered the soldier holding the heavy shield to move forward, and he wanted to eat away at the opponent's defense line step by step.
Seeing that the other party was gradually approaching, the leader of the defenders was also forced to be helpless, and immediately shouted, "Archers prepare!" Shoot! ”
However, as soon as the location of those archers was revealed, more than a hundred people suddenly rushed out of Lu Chen's side. Each of these men carried a few bombs and rushed forward desperately. When they were less than 100 paces away from each other, they invariably ignited their bombs and threw them at the opponent's defense.
Thundered~
But I saw the dust that was blown up in front of me, and in the dust, there were screams and screams one after another.
At the same time, Lu Chen once again gave the order to attack. The armies of those major families were unable to form an effective resistance at all when they were bombed, and besides, there were still a large number of guns and crossbowmen in the rear covering the infantry attacking in front. This made the soldiers of several major families unable to stop Lu Chen's offensive footwork at all.
After seeing that the other party was beaten and retreated, Lu Chen immediately asked someone to bring a black iron cylinder, but saw that Lu Chen used fire to ignite the trigger at the top of the iron cylinder. Soon, I saw a bright fireworks shooting out of the iron cylinder, and in this night, this fireworks could probably be seen in the entire Luzhou City.
At this time, Long Yan and the others, who had entered the city from the east of the city, followed the governor to the resting place prepared for them, tens of thousands of soldiers. This is in a relatively remote part of the city, and a large number of tents have been erected. Along the way, Long Yan and Du Du were chatting very happily, and if others saw them, they would definitely think that the two were friends.
Just as he arrived, he saw a soldier rushing over in a panic from a distance, and then whispered a few words in the governor's ear. Hearing the words of this herald, the governor's face changed suddenly. It's just that immediately after that, I saw the governor smile again, and said, "Now that it's dark, General Long and all the soldiers can have a good rest, and the governor of Pontus will come back tomorrow to disturb him." With that, the governor immediately walked into the distance.
Not long after the governor left this place, he saw a sudden flash of light in the distant sky. Seeing this scene, Long Yan's eyes immediately flashed, and he said loudly, "Brothers, follow me to the Governor's Mansion!" ”
Hearing Long Yan's words, the soldiers who followed him shouted angrily at the same time, "Kill!" ”。 And after hearing this angry shout, the nearly 10,000 soldiers in the rear also immediately drew their weapons and followed Long Yan to rush forward.
However, before they could rush out, they saw a large number of soldiers rushing out from all sides, and these soldiers had obviously been ambushed here before. And the Governor has arranged them here, which is a trap. It's just that now because the West City Gate was captured by Lu Chen, this ambush had to be exposed in advance.
Seeing the people surrounding him, Long Yan frowned slightly. Because the enemy troops who appeared around were holding heavy shields in their hands, if Long Yan fought with the other party now, it was estimated that it would not cause them much damage. And Long Yan's tens of thousands of troops, although they are elite soldiers. But now they are on enemy territory. What's more, the surrounding favorable terrain has already been occupied by the other party.
Seeing these unfavorable factors, Long Yan immediately ordered to stop moving forward and let the army form a circle. In this way, even if the other party occupies a favorable position, because Long Yan and they are all in the middle, their attacks will not be able to affect Long Yan and the others.
Seeing Long Yan, they actually cowered in place like this, not attacking or moving, but just defending tightly. These soldiers of the Governor's Mansion who surrounded them hated them one by one. Nor can they go on the offensive rashly. After all, they now occupy the surrounding advantageous terrain, and once they leave the place, the situation in their favor will be lost.
Previously, the Governor wanted to bring all the enemy troops into the city, hold a banquet first, and take advantage of the other party's inattention to break up their forces during this period. And if this plan does not succeed, the next thing is this barracks. When all of Lu Chen's troops came here, as long as the governor's army surrounded them outside, it would be difficult for Lu Chen to break out again. Because all around them have been set up in advance with various lines of defense and traps. As long as you enter their encirclement, it will be difficult to escape.
It's just that their abacus played very well, but Lu Chen didn't come to the main gate at all, but led people to the West City Gate to sneak attack. What made the governor even more unexpected was that those major families had gathered a total of more than 10,000 private soldiers, and they were defeated by Lu Chen in just a few moments, and even the West City Gate was controlled by Lu Chen.
After learning the news of the loss of the West City Gate just now, the Governor had no time to deal with Long Yan, so he immediately returned to the Governor's Mansion, and then gathered all the soldiers and horses that could be gathered to reinforce in the direction of the West City Gate. He knew that once the defenders of the West City Gate were completely defeated, his advantage would be lost. When the time comes, Luzhou City is in danger!
