Lu Qing came later than Zhang Sheng expected, and did not appear until the fifth day after he took the Lingshi Fort, and did not directly press the army, but sent an envoy to negotiate.

The condition brought by the envoy was to return the Lingshi Fort and everything originally in the Lingshi Fort, including the population and materials, and Lu Qing would not commit any offense against Jiaolong Village, and both sides would remain in their pre-war state. At the same time, Lu Qing promised not to invade Jiaolong Village in the future, as long as the two sides signed an equal cooperation contract, Jiaolong Village only needed to help operate part of the materials, and Lu Qing would also give corresponding compensation, and would also give Jiaolong Village a certain amount of military protection.

Such conditions are undoubtedly quite generous for the player lords of other expeditionary forces, and it can even be said that they are unimaginably rich, which does not affect the development of their own territory, and they can have an extra way of wealth and maintain autonomy.

But Zhang Sheng doesn't need it!

What's more, the so-called contract is not absolutely binding, just a piece of straw paper that can be torn at any time. Besides, it was impossible for him to spit out the population that had already been eaten, and the remnants in Lu Qing's hands also made him greedy.

Zhang Sheng's purpose is obvious, cooperating with the negotiation is just to delay time, and if it drags on for one more day, the combat power of that group of recruits will be strengthened.

It's a pity that his hand was seen through, and early the next morning, Lu Qing, who had no result in negotiations, directly led the army to press up. According to Zhao Hu, the other side has a very powerful commander, and the other side must not be given time to integrate and train troops.

However, it is enough for Zhang Sheng, relying on Qin Liangyu's [training] specialty, those recruits have all grown into second-order soldiers, and they can be regarded as entering the ranks of the regular army, with stable morale, no longer the original slaves, and the transformation of their will makes them feel like new life.

Such a soldier can already exert his combat power in the hands of Qin Liangyu!

Knock knock knock......

The sound of war drums shook the sky, and five hundred hoplites rushed to the Lingshi Fort on the gentle slope with ladders one after another.

"Zhao Hu, this is your last chance!"

If it weren't for the fact that the population of Jiaolong Village was too small, Lu Qing would definitely drive these civilians first, but the number of about a thousand was too small, and it was not enough to put enough pressure on the defenders of the city. However, Lingshi Fort was built by him personally, and he was very aware of the advantages and disadvantages of its city defense, and with the opponent's strength of less than 1,000 people, he could not give full play to the advantages of the defender at all.

Let Zhao Hu cooperate with the siege ladder, he can easily capture the city wall, and he will press the formation in the rear, even if there are any traps, he can be foolproof.

"Don't worry, brother-in-law, I will definitely make meritorious contributions this time!" Bullying the soft and being afraid of the hard, that is Zhao Hu's forte, last time it was completely careless, and the little lady was not his opponent at all.

The incendiary bombs were thrown over the stone wall by the catapults, exploding the flames, which seemed to be quite powerful, but the damage caused was quite limited, and if this thing wanted to be really used on the battlefield, it also needed to be improved by the war equipment division, and now it is only suitable for dealing with the rabble of bandits and bandits.

The heavy infantry passed through the flames of the fire, withstood the dense rain of arrows, and carried the siege ladder to the foot of the Lingshi Fort.

As one of the core components of the battlefield that has been prosperous for a long time, the two relatively short boards of [Attack] and [Speed] are quite good in other aspects, except for some special environments, heavy infantry is the best choice for stabilizing the formation of the Chinese army.

Zhao Hu cooperated with the heavy infantry to seize the head of the city as the first to ascend, and the stone wall was only three zhang high, without the power of the army, and there was no spirit pattern etching, which could not stop the breakthrough of the strong man with internal qi separated from the body. The outgoing Gang Qi formed a spherical defense around the body, although the cost of doing so would be very large, but the effect was quite significant, and the rain arrows of the low-level bow regiment could not break through the Gang Qi's defense at all.

Last time I was carelessly poisoned, this time it will definitely not be!

However, before Zhao Hu could land on the wall, a brilliant golden light crossed through, his left chest was penetrated, and the golden light leaked out from his back, continuing to extend more than ten zhang into the distance.

It was a white-stemmed spear as gigantic as the blade of a god!

"It's ......"

Seeing this scene, Lu Qing had an unbelievable look on his face, as a military general and commander of the first army, he knew very well that it was not a simple move of internal qi and external release, but a product of combining the power of the army.

As a former member of the expeditionary force, he knew exactly what this meant!

"Zhao Hu, that idiot!"

Lu Qing's face suddenly turned black as the bottom of a pot, Zhao Hu's previous intelligence completely misled him, or he never thought that there would be a commander of this level under the command of a Heavenly Being.

He was born in the expeditionary force, and he did not lack the vision and common sense he should have, and the opponent's initial strength was less than 1,000, even if he directly turned prisoners of war into soldiers, he could not survive until 2,005. Now that the other party can mobilize the strength of the army, it must have drawn a large number of slaves to join the army.

To mobilize the strength of the army, in addition to the general's own ability, the state of the soldiers is also crucial.

Being able to train slaves into an army and unify their wills in just three days is something that ordinary generals can do.

Zhao Hu, as the number two person in the rebel army, his death in battle will inevitably cause the morale of the army to decline, but Lu Qing did not retreat! In just three days, the integration of the army's fighting spirit is already the limit, and he knows very well what those slaves look like, they are tired and hungry all year round, their bodies are empty, and they can't make up for it in a short period of time, and their physical fitness will limit their growth.

A group of recruits who are not even miscellaneous soldiers, as long as they kill through the opponent's formation, that rabble will collapse on their own!

If he can get the commander of the other party, then this loss is nothing at all, and his power will go further because of this, and Lu Qing's ambition that has been silent for many years is ready to move again.

The drums on the battlefield became more and more rapid, and with Zhao Hu's previous experience, Lu Qing planned to take it step by step. Self-knowledge is one of his few advantages, and it is impossible for him to fight with a commander who can mobilize the strength of a large army, what he needs is an opportunity.

The heavy infantry climbed step by step to the top of the city with the rocks and rolling logs, and when they were halfway up the climb, a jar of fire oil was smashed on the head, and the clay pot and the big shield collided and shattered, and the fire spilled down, and then a torch roared in, and in an instant, the smoke billowed and the fire rose. The defenders did not stop there, and continued to smash three rounds of fire oil cans, and the sea of fire swept in, and the terrifying heat forced the approaching rebels to retreat.

Except for the "customized version" of a very few famous generals, the heavy infantry is not resistant to water and fire, and they are ignited one by one, screaming miserably like torches and falling down. Instead of providing them with the protection they deserved, the iron armor helped them kill.

Lu Qing did not order a retreat, nor did he change the city wall to continue the attack. Without the protection of spirit pattern etching, such a defensive method will hurt the wall, when he supervised the construction of the spirit stone fort, he only used ordinary mountain stones, after all, it is not his own property, this stone wall is far less solid than it seems.

The fire was raging, the billowing black smoke blocked each other's vision, and the battlefield fell into an eerie calm for a while, but the atmosphere became more and more depressing.

When the fire gradually subsided, a huge Spring and Autumn Broadsword light and shadow cut through the heavy black smoke and fell on the city, with a loud bang, the blackened stone wall was cut open a huge irregular gap, and then, the surrounding area collapsed for a short time, this shocking scene instantly pulled back the morale that had fallen due to Zhao Hu's death, and at the same time shocked the enemy army.

Unlike the commander who mobilizes the power of the army to overwhelm others, the general's attacks are all about unifying his own spirit and spirit, and it is the sublimation of his personal will. Before the super-first-class, the efficiency and upper limit of the general's aura extraction were not high, even if it was the kind of cut-corner, only three-step wide exterior wall in front of him, even if there was no spirit pattern etching, it was impossible to cut it normally.

But it looks like a stone wall, but in fact the inside is a layer of rammed earth, and with the help of high temperatures, this originally impossible blow is finally completed.

After a knife, Lu Qing was slightly panting, this is also a helpless move, the strength of the army that the commander can mobilize is directly linked to the morale of the army, and the means by which the military general can directly hit the morale of the enemy, in addition to those top titles and talent effects, either kill or pretend.

Cutting the general and capturing the flag is the most direct and effective means, but there are not many times when it can really be done, as for wanting to kill the enemy army with the way of mowing the grass without equals, it is very dangerous to have a commander in charge, it is easy to kill it and not get out, and people kneel.

Relatively speaking, pretending is much simpler, the more exaggerated the appearance, the better the effect, whether it is true or false sometimes does not matter, as long as the soldier believes, it is enough!
