Chapter 270: Seeking the City
Capture the thief and capture the king first!
Lu Meng is the backbone of Langya County, and he is also the strongest one, once he is killed, the rest is just some small minions, so there is nothing to worry about.
However, attacking tough battles is not the style of the ever-victorious Hou.
He stopped, and all the generals immediately suppressed their voices: "Langya County City is greatly injured, although there are only tens of thousands of remnants left, but occupy such a strong Xiongcheng, if you force it, we can naturally take it down with our troops, but kill a thousand enemies, lose eight hundred, Tieyun Country is not far from the day of destruction, under the nest, and there are eggs, it is not necessary to pay such a huge loss to capture a city." β
"What is Master Hou's plan?"
Luo Huaian asked.
The other generals also pricked up their ears.
They followed the victorious Hou to fight in the south and the north, born and died, knowing that the Hou Ye was resourceful and often able to strategize and win at the lowest cost.
"A soldier who surrenders without a fight!"
Chang Shenghou's eyes flashed, and he already had an idea: "The two armies are fighting, salute first and then soldiers, and immediately send a messenger into the city to recruit surrender." β
"Surrender?"
All the generals looked at each other: "Langya Lu's family has always been loyal to the Tieyun Kingdom, and he is in charge of the national protection order, I am afraid that he would rather die than surrender." β
"Our envoy enters Langya County, and then comes out unharmed, and when the time comes, it will be up to the Lu clan to surrender or not. β
Chang Shenghou smiled slightly.
The scariest thing in the world is rumors.
Spread rumors with one mouth, refute rumors and break your legs.
Now the mountains and rivers of Tieyun Country are drifting, the wind and rain are falling, and the people in Langya County are panicked, and the slightest wind will turn into stormy waves.
"Master Hou's clever plan!"
These generals pondered for a moment, and immediately understood Chang Shenghou's strategy, and then praised them one after another, their faces full of admiration.
"Hou Ye, look, that's Lu Meng, the king of Langya County. At this moment, Luo Huaian stretched out his hand and said.
Chang Shenghou looked over.
All the generals also looked over.
I saw that on the majestic ancient city wall of Langya County, a group of figures suddenly appeared, and the person at the head was Lu Meng.
In the past year or so, his cultivation has increased greatly, and he has broken through to the innate sevenfold, and the whole person has become more powerful and domineering.
By his side, there was his eldest son Lu Sheng, as well as a group of henchmen, as well as several elders of the Chu family, Chu Tianxun, Chu Tianfeng, Chu Tianying and others.
Langya County originally had three major families, the Lu family, the Wang family, and the Chu family.
But the Wang family was destroyed by Zhao Zhen, and the Chu family was taken care of by the Lu family, and now that the national disaster is at the head, and at the critical moment of life and death, the Chu family naturally wants to be tied up with the Lu family and advance and retreat together.
Once the county town of Langya is lost, the Lu clan is destroyed, and the Chu clan will also be finished.
At this moment, everyone looked at the black and oppressive soldiers and horses in the distance, and their faces were solemn.
"Father, this is the 100,000 elite soldiers led by the Marquis of Chang Shenghou of Yanshan Kingdom. β
Lu Sheng opened his mouth and said: "It is rumored that this Chang Shenghou is resourceful, thoughtful, and uses soldiers like a god, and has dedicated most of his life to the battlefield, I don't know how many victories he has won, and his prestige in Yanshan Country is extremely high. β
"His men, star-studded, brave and good at fighting, once a full-scale attack is launched, I am afraid that with our current strength in the city, it will not be able to resist at all, so reinforcements must be sent. β
"Now that the Tieyun Kingdom is surrounded by enemies on all sides, with heavy losses, and the imperial court is too busy to take care of itself, where are there any reinforcements?"
Lu Meng shook his head with a wry smile, revealing a sense of exhaustion in his expression: "Moreover, the county town of Langya has fallen into siege, and those messengers sent out have never returned, and they must have been poisoned, and now we can only rely on ourselves." β
Several Chu clan elders were shocked in their hearts.
Has the situation reached this point? Without rescuers, even information cannot be transmitted, and has it not become a battle for trapped beasts?
The crowd was silent.
"Lord, why don't we ...... Escape, maybe there's a chance to make a comeback. β
Suddenly, one of the generals gritted his teeth and spoke.
"What did you say?"
Lu Sheng was furious, grabbed the collar of this general, and shouted loudly: "If you flee without a fight, you will definitely fall into a situation from which you will never recover, and whoever dares to flee will definitely cut off his head." β
"The prince spares his life!"
The general immediately fell to his knees and begged for mercy.
"The country is ruined, even if you escape, where can you go? Stick to Langya County, maybe there is still a glimmer of life. β
Lu Meng did not blame this general, and immediately ordered: "Sheng'er, you go and move all the weapons out and distribute them, as long as there are people in Langya County who can still move, whether it is women and children, or children, send weapons to them, we have no way to retreat, we can only fight against the water." β
"Yes!"
Lu Sheng responded.
"We, the Chu Clan, will also do our best to help. Chu Tianxun said.
"Lord Wang, the enemy army has retreated. β
Suddenly, a general shouted incredulously.
I saw the enemy troops in the distance squirming, gradually retreating, and encamped five miles away from the county town of Langya.
After a while, smoke rose from the cooking.
When Lu Meng saw this scene, not only did he not relax in the slightest, but his brows were furrowed, and he felt extremely strange.
"What's going on? I was looking like a saber rattling just now, why is it dead now?"
"Is the enemy ready to besiege but not attack, and wait until we are without food and water, and then attack when we are at our weakest?"
"Hmph! We have stockpiled a large amount of grain and grass in the city, and we can save some of them, at least for three months. β
"I'm afraid it's not that simple. β
........................
The crowd began to talk about it.
LΓΌ Meng knew that Chang Shenghou was cunning and used his troops like gods, and it was absolutely impossible to fight a protracted war with them.
Langya County has plenty of food and grass, on the other hand, this army of Yanshan Country has come from thousands of miles, and it is in a foreign country, and after a long time, there will definitely be all kinds of variables.
Moreover, the tense battle situation of the Tieyun Kingdom did not allow the Yanshan Kingdom to spend time here.
Back at the county king's mansion, LΓΌ Meng gathered all the generals and strategists, and then discussed countermeasures.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a personal guard walked into the hall quickly, knelt down on one knee, and reported: "Lord Qiqi, the Marquis of Chang Sheng has sent a messenger to come, just outside the city. β
"Emissary?"
Lu Meng's face was full of surprise, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Let him come in, this king wants to see what tricks Chang Shenghou plays!"
The guards retreated.
The hall fell silent, and everyone had thoughtful expressions.
A short time later, there was a sound of footsteps outside the hall, and then a man in a robe walked in.
This person is tall and thin, white-faced and beardless, about thirty years old, exuding an elegant aura all over his body, and at a glance he knows that he is not a martial artist, but a literati.
This is the messenger sent by the Marquis of Chang Sheng.
"In Xia Fan Qingming, I have seen the prince of the county!"
Fan Qingming walked into the main hall, first glanced at everyone, then looked at Lu Meng, and saluted slightly.
Lu Meng nodded and asked, "Why did Marquis Chang Sheng send you here?"
"Surrender!"
Fan Qingming said straight to the point: "The so-called good birds choose trees to perch, the alliance of the five countries, not to mention the Tieyun country, I am afraid that no country in the east of the human race can resist it, now there are 100,000 elite soldiers of my Yanshan country outside the city, and there are countless fierce generals, the prince of the county is a person who understands, presumably it should be clear whether the strength of Langya County can resist it?"
"Bold!"
"Look for death!"
"Kill him!"
As soon as these words came out, the generals of Langya County City opened their eyes angrily, and they suddenly shouted, and the loud voice shook the hall and buzzed for a long time.
One of the generals, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, knew at a glance that it was the hot-tempered lord, rushed up directly, captured Fan Qingming, and said fiercely: "You don't know whether you live or die, dare to spread wild here, see if I don't skin you, let you taste the methods of the military master." β
"The two countries are at war, and they will not be killed!"
Fan Qingming was powerless, where could he resist, but there was no fear on his face, and he shouted loudly: "The prince of the county admires the prince of the county, and he can't bear the life of the county town of Langya, so he camped five miles away and sent me to persuade him to surrender, as long as the prince of the county is willing to hand over the county town of Langya, the county town of Langya will be safe and sound, and the prince of the county can continue to enjoy the glory and wealth ......"
"How dare you talk nonsense?"
The strength in the general's hand increased dramatically, and suddenly there was a sound of "Titicaca" bones cracking, and I saw Fan Qingming let out a miserable scream, and blood flowed from his mouth.
"Spare him his life!"
At this moment, Lu Meng opened his mouth and said: "You go back and tell Chang Shenghou that let him die, this king will not surrender, even if he tries his best to fight every soldier in Langya County, he will never surrender, if you want Langya County, then see you on the battlefield, how can you do it without paying a little price?"
The general immediately put the man down.
Fan Qingming was in severe pain, coughed up a mouthful of blood, looked at Lu Meng and said, "I hope the prince of the county will not regret it." β
After saying that, he was carried out by two soldiers.
"Pass on the king's order, the whole city is on alert, and fight with Yanshan Kingdom to the end. β
"Yes!"
........................
At this time, Fan Qingming walked out of Langya County, and he was afraid for a while, and he didn't know when, his back was already soaked with sweat.
Langya County City is a Longtan tiger's den for him, and when he comes to persuade him to surrender, it is even more dangerous, and it is very likely that he will be killed at once.
But fortunately, Na Lu Meng still has some morality, and he did not kill the enemy envoy and let him go.
"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life, and finally completed the task assigned by Hou Ye. β
He turned around and looked at the majestic Langya County City, with a trace of hideousness on his face: "Within three days, Langya County City will be broken, and when I step on the city tower, it will be blood-stained mountains and rivers." β
Then he went straight to the camp of Yanshan Kingdom.
"The first step of persuasion has been successful, and the next step is the second step, spreading rumors!"
Chang Shenghou sat firmly in the military tent, with a faint smile on his face, and there was a taste of mastery.
"I will instruct the people in Langya County to let them all take action, and tomorrow morning, rumors will inevitably spread all over the streets and alleys. β
Luo Huaian said.
