Chapter 924: Trap
In the early morning, the warm eyes shrouded in Qinzhou City. Phew
Lu Chenghe was woken up by a shouting of killing, opened his eyes and saw that it was already dawn, his face instantly turned pale, he got up and became angry, and he continued to sneak attack all night, and he simply didn't let people live, and shouted: "Someone!" ”
A guard hurried in: "Commander, what do you command?" ”
"What's going on out there?"
"Back to Dashuai, it's another sneak attack by enemy troops outside the city."
"How many times has this been?" Lu Chenghe scolded.
The guard hurriedly replied, "With this addition, it's already the tenth time." ”
"Come and help change your clothes and put on your armor." Phew
Lu Chenghe shouted coldly, thinking about something, and continued after a while: "I can't see clearly at night, the enemy army doesn't know when he touches it, it's easier to sneak attack, how can they sneak attack in broad daylight?" ”
"Back to the marshal, they cover with shields, in teams of two, one person is responsible for defense, one is responsible for archery, and after the fight, they retreat to an arrow away, and our army's feather arrows can't shoot."
"I see!"
Lu Chenghe reacted, didn't ask any more questions, changed his clothes with the help of the guards, leather armor, dressed neatly, picked up a saber and walked out, and said: "Ben Shuai will go to patrol the city, let the kitchen prepare food and wait." ”
"Obey!" The other party hurriedly responded.
Not long after, Lu Chengqing hurriedly went up to the city wall, and saw that he was shocked when he saw his face, his eyes were sunken, bloodshot, haggard, and even a little decadent, which was a sign of excessive energy consumption, and he couldn't slow down at all if he didn't sleep for a day.
But what if the opponent attacks during the day? Phew
Can the remaining 50,000 people hold on?
At this moment, Lu Chenghe realized that he had underestimated the harm of the sneak attack in turns, the soldiers did not eat well, their physical endurance and recovery were poor, and they could bear it if they stayed up all night in fear?
Even if the opponent outside the city does not attack in an all-round way, and takes turns to attack and harass for two or three days, it is estimated that the army will be abolished, and it will not be possible to rotate.
Thinking of this, Lu Chenghe was not calm, and hurriedly told a general: "Go, collect all the meat in the city, and bring the cattle from the people's homes, and slaughter them for the soldiers to eat and replenish their strength." ”
"Ploughing cattle?"
The other party's face changed slightly, ploughing cattle is the root of the people's family, and it is more important than life, and bringing the people's ploughing cattle to me may provoke a civil uprising, not to mention that the court clearly stipulates that it is not allowed to slaughter ploughing cattle privately.
After thinking about it, the general reminded: "Marshal, in this way, I am afraid that I will be criticized by the imperial court." "Whew
"What is the boss's responsibility, the soldiers can't bear it for three days without eating some meat, once the city is broken, you and I will die, go ahead." Lu Chenghe ordered in a cold voice.
The general hesitated, but still asked, "What about ...... What about the firm, the family? ”
"In extraordinary times, everything is based on defending the city as the first priority, and I can't manage so much, who has an opinion, let him come to Ben Shuai, it is really not good to be Ben Shuai's knife?" Lu Chenghe said coldly, the Lu family with five surnames and seven wangs is born, Lu Chenghe has a strong sense of superiority and confidence, plus his brother is the captain of the dynasty, who is he afraid of?
The city can't be defended to death, as long as it is held and the Hanzhou army is repelled, it will be a great achievement, and when the time comes, it will be too late for all parties to stammer, who else dares to make irresponsible remarks?
The other party thought about it and made sense, so he hurriedly went.
Soon, the army was dispatched, collecting meat all over the city, restaurants were smashed open, and people were kicked open, as for giving money, jokes, the military master is working hard, and he may die at any time, what's wrong with eating some meat from you?
For a time, there were many complaints in the city, but no one dared to jump out and openly oppose it. Phew
"Oh no, here we go again." An angry voice suddenly remembered.
Lu Chenghe turned his head to see that a large army outside the city was coming slowly, walking in the front was the shield soldier, the tall shield reflected the sunlight, which was particularly dazzling, and the shield soldier was followed by the archers, the formation was very open, with neat and powerful steps, and the momentum was violent.
"Bastard, dare to come, shoot me!"
Lu Chenghe was so angry that his blood pressure rushed to the top of his head, and he shouted loudly.
Soon, one after another feathered arrows flew away, nailing the ground in front of the attacking troops outside the city, and the tail of the arrows was buzzing and trembling.
The attacking troops stopped, motionless, and watched the defenders of the city shoot arrows.
"What do you mean?" Phew
A look of astonishment flashed in Lu Chenghe's eyes, and he quickly reacted that he was forcing himself to waste feather arrows, and quickly ordered to stop shooting, planning to take a look.
Then, as soon as the defending troops stopped, the archers of the attacking troops outside the city took the opportunity to rush up, and shot an arrow at the city, and retreated decisively after shooting, and ran as fast as they could.
The defending troops were angry when they saw this scene, let's fight back, the opponent has already run out of range, don't fight back, I feel uncomfortable in my heart, and everyone looks at Lu Chenghe.
Lu Chenghe was also so angry that his liver hurt, but he was helpless, and shouted: "Stop shooting, don't move yet." ”
A general stepped forward and said angrily: "Commander, they are simply too deceitful, subordinates ask for battle, please give an order to allow your subordinates to lead a cavalry to rush out." ”
There was a cavalry of 5,000 people in the city, but Lu Chenghe didn't want to be exposed easily, and planned to use it as a hole card at a critical time, so he refused: "No!" ”
"Dashuai!" The other party was anxious, and continued: "If you are beaten so passively, your morale will be gone, your subordinates only need a thousand cavalry, and the outside of the city are infantry, and you can't stop the cavalry from attacking, as long as you kill the archers, it will be much better in the back, but if you don't fight, I'm afraid that people's hearts will float." "Whew
Once morale is gone, the battle becomes even more difficult.
Lu Chenghe thought about it carefully, and saw that the attacking troops outside the city were indeed infantry, but they were just driven away, and the pursuit was not a big problem, so he agreed: "Give you 20,000 cavalry, just defeat the enemy outside the city, and don't chase and kill too far, in case the opponent's cavalry counterattacks." ”
"Obey!" The other party was overjoyed, hugged his fists, and hurriedly went.
Not long after, the gates opened, and a cavalry of two thousand men roared out of the city and rushed forward.
The leader of the army shouted excitedly: "Brothers, speed up the charge, kill me-"
"Kill!"
The cavalry joined loudly, and their morale was like a rainbow. Phew
The cavalry had a strong sense of superiority and self-confidence in the face of the infantry.
However, the attacking troops outside the city did not flee as expected, but quickly assembled and formed a circle, with tall shields outside, reflecting the sun, cold and dazzling.
The archers hid in the middle, and shot at the cavalry rushing in front of them, and as for the cavalry on both sides, they did not care at all.
The dense arrows roared away like a storm, and many people fell off their horses one after another, and the horses were shot, screaming in pain, and becoming crazy, rushing indiscriminately, and the formation was a little chaotic.
The cavalry hurriedly pacified the horses, stabilized the formation and continued to charge.
On the city wall, Lu Chenghe smiled with satisfaction when he saw this scene, although the bow and arrow were sharp, the loss was not large, and the distance was not very far, the cavalry would soon be able to rush up, and it would not be at that time to be slashed?
At this moment, Lu Chenghe saw the victory and shouted: "Beat the drums, cheer!" "Whew
