A small war in the northwest involves only a county, but such an incident has attracted the attention of all parties in the capital. It has to be said that this is very surprising.

Lu Lun, the Lu family, knew about this news because of rumors. For him, it was like a blow. Lu Zheng is the most promising seedling of the Lu family at the moment. If there were any shortcomings this time, the Lu family would probably really decline.

However, what's the use of Lu Lun being anxious? The Lu family is no longer capable of watching the development of the situation. The only thing he can do is to pray for Lu Zheng in front of the ancestor's sacrifices every day, hoping that Lu Zheng will be auspicious of the human and heavenly world and can find a way out under the siege of the bandits.

In the northwest, the elm bend, the ice and snow melt for not long, and the desert in the northwest did not see any green at all. On weekdays, such a place would be silent and extremely desolate, but now, it is crowded with people and smoke everywhere.

The dust in the sky was blowing up, and the Yumu County in the desert was like an isolated island. Outside the four gates of Yumu County, there was a mess, countless corpses were piled up, and the smell of blood was filled with them. The ownerless war horses whineed, and the burning of linoleum released thick black smoke and strange odor. This place was not like the world, but like hell.

The Great Khan of the Turkic Hulun Grassland, Hekuo, personally led his troops to siege the city. He did not break for three days, and there were more than 5,000 cavalrymen injured and killed, which was 20% of his conscription.

The noble lady and the powerful generals under his command were all concentrated in the central army tent at this time. His eyes were red, his face was ferocious, and his black teeth were bitten tightly. The chain mail on his body trembled because he was too excited, making waves of golden and iron sounds.

"I don't care what kind of bastard is guarding the city. Even if he is the King of Hell, I will kill in and slaughter all the elm, leaving no chickens and dogs, so that no grass will grow in this place!" Mrs. Hekuo roared.

Such a large casualties were far beyond his psychological endurance. It was just a small county town, and Song Wensong was not there. He should have been swept under his army. Unexpectedly, he had not yet captured it after three days of attack.

Mrs. He Kuo was angry, and the powerful generals under him all bowed their heads. A general Zamuhe looked up and said, "Khan, Yumu has been prepared for a long time. Their city is incomparable to last year.

What's even more terrifying is that their soldiers guarding the city are very elite, and the equipment they guarding the city is also very advanced. Not only does they have soft walls to block our riding and shooting, but they also have horse-resisting, Tieli, 'Ten Thousand Enemies', squatting wood, and rolling stones. It's really difficult to deal with such enemies as turtle shells!"

Everyone resonated with Zamuhe's statement. At first, no one took this small county seriously, but unexpectedly, as soon as the war started, the opponent was very powerful, and the siege troops of various tribes repeatedly changed their strategies and could not make up for it.

Speaking of everyone's psychological journey, they initially looked down on each other, then became angry, then became very angry, and finally lost their minds. When the continuous cavalry was sent to them and became cannon fodder, everyone realized that it had caused a disaster.

Five thousand iron cavalry, these are the males among the five thousand precious herders. There are few Turks and insufficient population. Because attacking a county town caused such huge losses, it really makes people feel bleeding.

The headache is that it is difficult to get rid of the tiger now. If the rich wife leads tens of thousands of people to invade Dakang and cannot even capture a county town, wouldn’t she be ridiculed by the heroes in the world?

This incident spread on the Hulun Grassland. Will those remote tribes continue to obey the orders of his Khan? For Mrs. He Kuo, he cannot defeat this battle!

The strategist Zhao Jing frowned slightly and said, "Khan, generals, you know yourself and your enemy and win every battle. We have fought for so long, so we should know the people guarding the city in Yumu County!"

As soon as Zhao Jing spoke, the audience suddenly became quiet. As the number one strategist under Hekuo's wife, Zhao Jing's wisdom is convincing, so the WeChat message of various tribes in the Hulan Grassland is also very high.

When everyone calmed down, Zhao Jing continued: "The county magistrate of Yumu County was named Lu Mingzheng. This man and Song Wensong were sworn brothers. Jie Yuan was born in the age of twenty. At this time, he was the general who defended the city!

Song Wensong is a treacherous person. I think Lu Zheng is not an easy person. The two must have discussed a solution. It is better to attack Yumu County at this time than to delay. If we conquer, we will be happy. If we suffer repeated setbacks, it may not be great..."

The face of Mrs. He Kuo couldn't help but change. He could understand Zhao Jing's words. At this time, maybe Song Wensong had already made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace on the grassland! If Mrs. He Kuo won and got Song Wensong's nest, Song Wensong would not be a problem after all.

But what should we do if Mrs. Hekuo fails to capture the elm and Song Wensong fights back and the morale of Mrs. Hekuo’s army is declining?

The atmosphere in the tent became depressed instantly. Mrs. He Kuo pulled out his waist knife and said, "According to the scouts, there are only a few thousand soldiers in Yumu City. Among these soldiers, there are a few thousand families who are the confidants of the second son of the Song family. At the critical moment, they can help us!

Since that's the case, there's nothing to say. Get all the shields ready and let's attack the city together!"

A ruthless look appeared on his face. He had experienced countless wars in his life. He had experienced more difficult and difficult experiences than this. At the critical moment, he had to make up his mind and grit his teeth. Yumu County seems difficult to break, but it only takes a gap to break...

There is nothing to say! Now there is only attack!

Mrs. Hekuo ordered that he personally supervise the battle, and tens of thousands of Turkic soldiers reorganized the attack. The Turks were good at fighting in fields and were not good at siege cities. However, Mrs. Hekuo had a counselor like Zhao Jing, and it was difficult for cavalry to attack the city, so he changed to infantry and archers, and used shield chariots to advance forward, which could be pushed all the way under the city wall and then set up a ladder.

Once troops are sent, the troops are like ants, and there are only a few thousand soldiers in the elm. How can they stop them?

On Yumu County, the bloody battle began on the wall. Lu Zheng climbed the city tower accompanied by Shadow and the county magistrate and other subordinates. Seeing the dense Turkic soldiers around, the county magistrate Tang Guanping was so scared that his calves trembled and his forehead sweated. He had only one thought in his mind: "It's over, it's over..."

All the soldiers of the eight thousand-person teams in the city were pushed up, and the "ten thousand enemies" in the city, quicklime, wood, rolling stones, tincture oil, etc. were continuously moved to the city tower.

The soldiers on the city wall were hiding behind the soft wall, manipulating various defensive weapons. The battlefield was the Hell on Earth. Several military advisers following Lu Zheng couldn't help but look at Lu Zheng, and they all felt trembling in their hearts.

"I didn't expect that the talented man in Jiangnan was not only good at writing poetry, but also was so cruel in using military force! No wonder the third young master was able to take a fancy to him, and the two could become sworn brothers!"

Wu Liewen cleared his throat and said, "Sir Lu, the city is in a tight condition, and the thief is too powerful. I suggest that you consider breaking through. Only in this way can you have a glimmer of hope!"

"Break through? How to break through? Can we run? Even if we can fight out a bloody road, we only have a thousand cavalry, and the others are infantry. In the vast desert, we are all the flesh of the Turks!

Also, what should the people in Yumu County do? Mrs. Hekuo was cruelly murdered. If he suffered a loss, he would definitely take revenge. Once the city gate was broken, they would definitely massacre the city. If we look back, we will not be able to survive!"

Lu Zheng spoke in a serious tone. He looked back at the boy and said, "How is the project behind the Xicheng Gate done?" The boy and said, "Sir, the civilians work day and night, and it will take one day to complete it!"

Lu Zheng clenched his fists, licked his dry lips, and looked at everyone behind him with bloody eyes and said:

"Everyone listened, at this point we all became grasshoppers on the same rope. I know you all have your own ideas, and some of them are even the second and eldest sons.

But we are Turkish barbarians in front of us. Once they break through the city, we are all Dakang people and no one has to want to live. So at this moment, we can only work together to unite all the forces that can be united and block the Turkish barbarians outside the city. If we block for one more day, our chances of victory will rise straight. Where is Liu Song?"

"The last one is here!" Liu Song stood up from the crowd. He was wearing military uniform and was full of heroic posture, and his eyes emitted a bright light.

Lu Zheng said: "Take your city defense camp and hold on! Hold on for a day at any cost. County Magistrate Tang and Master Liu, you go to the Xicheng Gate to supervise the construction of the project, pass on my words and tell everyone that the Turks are going to massacre the city!"

Lu Zheng issued orders, busy but not inconsistency. Everyone around him took the orders one by one and left, leaving only Wu Liewen. Wu Liewen secretly admired him. He was originally a little dissatisfied with Song Wensong's arrangements, thinking that Lu Zheng, a young scholar, could he have summarized the military and political power of Yumu?

Now he realized that he was wrong. The scholar was a little unfamiliar at the beginning, but now he has clearly had a bit of the courage of a general when he makes every move.

It has to be admitted that there are indeed geniuses in this world. A being like Lu Zheng is self-taught without a command, and Wu Liewen thinks that his level of military use may not be as good as the other party.

Another thing that Lu Zheng is powerful is to boost morale. It can unite everyone around him in just a few words. The people under the third son are of a complicated origin. Many of them are actually from the second son and the eldest son. However, Lu Zheng only killed one thousand households and two hundred households, and no one of the other people was killed, which made everyone unite. It has to be said that this does reflect his skills.

Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the distance. Looking at the purgatory on earth, his hands and feet were cold. Everything was pretending, and he was actually afraid to die. He could not imagine what the consequences would be if his opponent broke through the defense.
