But the next moment, a knife player jumped off the ladder, holding a shield to protect Wang Zhuo's right side, blocking the crossbowman's sight.

In such small local battles, the quality of soldiers is extremely important. Although the defending city places elite soldiers at the entrance of the cloud ladder, and the attacking city side, when they see the opportunity to attack the city, aren’t the ones rushing up?

These people may not have the strongest martial arts skills, but their ability to cooperate in combat and stabilize the battle formation is absolutely first-class, without even speaking. Just by scanning the battlefield situation, you can automatically find the most suitable angle and enter.

Before Wang Zhuo came up, the soldiers who rushed up the city on the ladder were quickly killed under the siege of several good men. The ones coming up behind naturally turned into oil-adding tactics, one by one came up to die.

Don't say that this is a stupid siege.

It is a great victory to be able to kill the city. The cruelest thing about the Ant Attack attack is that even if you fill it in with a sea of ​​corpses and blood, you may not be able to climb the city. It is common for a city to repeatedly tug-of-war for ten days and half a month.

Therefore, if the general commanding below has a little hope of climbing to the city, he must fill in the elite soldiers and generals continuously, hoping that the defender's side will make mistakes in playing a role, or that the soldiers will be tired, or that there are real warriors on their own side can withstand the siege and open a gap in the city wall.

Now that Wang Zhuo is in front, the subsequent soldiers can jump onto the city head calmly, so as not to face the danger of siege of swords, guns, swords and halberds, and those who come up are all elite soldiers in the army. These three men form formations to deal with one side, so that they will not be attacked from both sides; ten people form formations to cover each other, and the formation will stabilize, and each person only needs to deal with one or two enemies in front of him.

Although the lethality of long-range crossbows is terrible, in a dense crowded environment like the city, it is difficult to shoot directly across the crossbow arrows without inadvertently hurting their own people. Moreover, reinforcements under the city are keeping up, and the catapults are also throwing gravel at both sides of the breakthrough and in the depths.

Wang Zhuo is the only one among the Lu Wu's registered disciples who has trained the true qi of the Nine Nether Sea to the third level of "qi penetrates the limbs and reaches the muscles", so he can run like flying in his whole body armor, and even jump directly to the roof of the ladder. This may not be that Wang Zhuo has the best qualifications, but Wang Zhuo was originally a little fat and can temporarily withstand the pressure of this demon-like version of the Nine Nether Sea True Qi.

On the other ladders, although Lu Wu's personal guards/registered disciples only trained the Jiuyou Minghai true energy to the first and second level, they did not fight alone like Wang Zhuo, but cooperated with each other to climb the city one after another. It was only easier to gain a foothold on the city.

Under the city, soldiers continued to climb to the top of the city along the five ladders. As long as they were not blind, they could see that the situation was going to be achieved by guarding the city and the city could no longer be defended.

Under the city.

Lu Wu watched the soldiers rushing to the city continuously, turned his head and ordered his left and right: "Apart from my personal soldiers, other cavalrymen walked around the city, headed to the north gate, and intercepted and killed the fugitives."

"As for the order!" The two cavalry captains nodded, rode their horses to lead the cavalry to the headquarters around the city wall.

Lu Wu is notorious. Anyone who refuses to open the city and surrenders will destroy the city after breaking the city, he will kill the officials in the city and destroy the three major families.

Now that the city is about to break out, as long as the officials and wealthy families in the city are not mentally retarded, they will definitely break through and escape. Lu Wuke is also planning to rely on their heads to warn future generations and use their wealth to support the war. How can these people escape easily?

———————————————————

Xingding County finally fell one hour after the siege began.

It is a common practice for the army to enter the city, kill the officials guarding the city, and choose three large families to destroy the family. Lu Wu does not need to do it himself, so the people below are naturally very familiar with it.

This time, Lu Wu brought tens of thousands of troops, and had sufficient troops to divide the troops in the countryside, which was enough to uproot the power of these three major families in the countryside without leaving any trace.

This move was much more ruthless than before. Not only did these three big players die with all their eyes closed, but even the other big players who were lucky and did not choose were trembling and wanted to take out all their assets.

In the past, Lu Wu had insufficient subordinates, so he could only seize these large-scale cities and the main families in the city to conduct surgery. He had to let go of the family branches in various places. Even Lu Wu himself didn't know how many people in his territory were potential enemies of the family.

Of course, Lu Wu doesn't care about this either. If you have a plant, you will jump out. At worst, you can kill it. If you don't plant, then hold it in. After a long time, you will naturally become weak.

What kind of gentlemen is not too late to take revenge for ten years, but it is just a matter of people who reverse the situation after many years and take the blame.

There are not many ruthless characters who can truly work hard and persevere for ten years and finally get revenge in the entire history of mankind.

Lu Wu no longer cared about these trivial matters. He was at the head of the lobby, waiting for the chief clerk of the army to count the casualties. On both sides of the lobby, the lieutenant Yingzheng, who was originally happy because of the smooth siege of the city, did not dare to speak out.

Soon, the chief clerk Su Zhong walked into the lobby and presented the statistics booklet.

Lu Wu turned it open and looked at it, and her face became more gloomy.

The siege today is already successful.

In a small county-level city, there are neither masters and brave generals in the city, and the tools to defend the city are not complete, and the city walls are not high. The only thing that can be desirable is that morale is good.

His siege equipment was fully equipped with soldiers and sufficient armor, and his morale was only higher than that of the soldiers defending the city. But even so, after attacking in this one hour, there were more than 300 soldiers killed, more than 170 soldiers seriously injured, and nearly 600 soldiers slightly injured.

The medical conditions are not good these days, and the chances of seriously injured soldiers recovering are not high. Among these 170 people, 30% of them can recover, and most of them will die tragically, and most of the soldiers who are not dead will suffer from disabilities or sequelae at different levels.

In other words, when he had the advantage, he attacked a mere Xingding county town and killed more than 400 people, with a total of more than 1,000 casualties.

Although Lu Wu led an army of ten thousand people, at this rate of casualties, he could use up all his troops and horses at just ten or eight counties.

Not to mention that Tonghe Prefecture City is an important town in the southern part of Chu. It is only higher than Nanhe City, and the city wall is more than 6 meters high (more than 8 meters). If this is taken down, how many people will be needed to fill it in?

"A mere county town requires 400 soldiers to be killed and 1,000 casualties to be taken down. What do you think?"

Lu Wu threw the booklet on the desk and asked.

Everyone was as silent as a cicada. Look at me, look at you, no one dared to speak.

"There are twenty-seven cities in Tonghe Prefecture. If we continue to fight like this, how many cities can we capture?" Lu Wu said angrily.
Chapter completed!
