In Luo Mansion, the soldiers lined up, their armor clanking, the sounds of orders and footsteps drowned out the noise coming from outside the gate.
From the courtyard courtyard and the secret passage of the wing, countless soldiers poured out, holding shields and guns behind the palace gate, and formed two small attack squares in the blink of an eye.
According to the military system of the State of Wu, the captain is a senior officer and can have five personal soldiers; the miscellaneous generals can have thirty personal soldiers; the twelve generals such as the Four Expeditions, the Four Guards, and the Fourth Guards can have one hundred soldiers; and the generals can have one hundred soldiers. It is an honorary title and can have 200 personal soldiers.
These are all legal military establishments.
But at this moment, there are no less than 500 soldiers arrayed in Luofu, not counting the thirty cavalrymen arrayed on both sides, and the fifty crossbowmen holding down the formation at the rear.
General Luo Gan wore golden armor and strode forward from the Huju Hall. Four powerful men carried strong shields to guard the four sides, and two cloth-armored swordsmen followed him on the left and right.
Some soldiers rushed forward and opened the gate of Luo Mansion from left to right.
Even if the Beicheng Captain led his troops to block the door, the gate of Luo Mansion was never jammed.
"Young men, come with me to take down—huh?!" General Luo Gan had to swallow the second half of his military order before he could finish it.
A bloody road ran across the gate of Luofu. The broken limbs of hundreds of soldiers were scattered on both sides. Zou Mi, the captain of the North City, was stuck on the horizontal branch of the big tree opposite the gate of Luofu. His upper and lower bodies were Folded together, eyes bulging with anger and unblinking eyes.
——————————————
After breaking through another military formation and killing several armored officers, Lu Wu felt no worries at all.
Lu Wu was still a little excited when he broke through the military formation for the first time and solved the siege of Lu Mansion, but now that the excitement has passed, he doesn't feel much anymore.
Riding horses on the battlefield and killing wildly, it feels no different from an old farmer mowing grass.
However, Young Master Yuan's residence was about to arrive, which made Lu Wu feel a little hopeful - he hoped that his brother-in-law Lin Chong was still alive.
The third sister was born to the same mother as him, and they have been close to him since childhood. Married life is a rare freedom in this era. Lu Wu does not want the third sister to become a widow.
When the Dutian Ten Thousand Ghost Flag was designed, it was hoped that the ghost king could be born with the help of the power of ten thousand ghosts, and then the ghost king could be refined into a weapon spirit, so that there would be a certain probability that the Dutian Ten Thousand Ghost Flag would be promoted to a magic weapon and turn into the Dutian Ghost King Flag.
In other words, the ghost king spawned from the Dutian Ten Thousand Ghosts Flag was originally the result of the fusion and refinement of ten thousand ghosts.
Although Lu Wu inexplicably turned into a weapon spirit as an extraterrestrial demon and did not devour all ghosts, due to the ingenious design of the Dutian Ten Thousand Ghosts Flag, he could still absorb the experience and combat skills of the ten thousand ghosts in the flag.
Through the reincarnation of the underworld, almost all the ghosts were whitewashed by the underworld. The ones who can persist to the end are the strongest ghosts, and these ghost heroes are all war souls - breaking through the enemy formation, killing generals and seizing the flag are nothing more than these ghost heroes. Daily operations are no different from eating and drinking.
Lu Wu didn't put much effort into practicing martial arts. He just practiced a little and lived his happy life on weekdays. All his martial arts skills were directly obtained from the memories of these fighting souls, and he could not help but be tainted with one or two habits.
Wangxing Tower is located in the central area of Chengdefang. It is a four-story wooden high-rise building. It is the most famous restaurant in Wu State. Its signature wine is Liuxian Drink, which is said to be able to make immortals drunk.
However, at this moment, Wangxing Tower has been requisitioned by General Yang Hu of Wei Dong to monitor Chengdefang from a high position for the purpose of command.
General Wei Dong was one of the four generals of the Wu Kingdom. He was also an important general entrusted by Prince Jiu of the King of Wu with the important task of suppressing Chengdefang.
He ordered his subordinates to control all nodes in Chengdefang and prohibit the important officials of Chengdefang from colluding with each other. There were also three groups of people dispatched at any time in the central area of Chengdefang to suppress dissatisfaction.
This is a very effective strategy. The only weakness is that each node does not have too many people.
But these people can use fireworks to call the police. As long as they can be delayed for a while, three groups of Yanghu's men can rush to support.
But at this moment, looking at the fireworks for help exploding one after another in the sky, almost in a straight line, Wei Dong General Yang Hu was already furious.
Isn’t this too fucking useless? How long should you drag it? Even if he sent reinforcements to support him, it would be too late.
When he saw fireworks rising from General Luo Gan's residence in the distance, Wei Dong General Yang Hu didn't even have the energy to curse.
"Come here, report to the King of Wu that something has happened in Chengdefang. In addition, prepare your horse and carry your sword with me, notify the five worshipers, and go to Yuan Mansion with me."
Yuan Mansion is the residence of Prince Yuan.
————————————————
Prince Yuan's residence.
Twenty armored soldiers and six crossbow-wielding sergeants were lined up on the left and right sides of the steps. Three guard swordsmen holding long swords and wearing soft armor stood guard in front of the door with their backs to the door as if facing a powerful enemy.
The two vermilion doors were tightly closed.
These people were not sent by Young Master Jiu, but were guards from Young Master Yuan's mansion.
After Gongzi Yuan was assassinated, Gongzi Jiu did not send anyone to block the door of his brother's house - the victory was already determined, and it would be too ugly to show off like that again.
He just sent people to block all the street intersections around his brother's house and guard the entire Chengde Square.
As Lu Wu fought all the way, he saw such a small military formation dominated by Chang Ge.
Ge, shaped like a spear with a horizontal branch, with the blade facing inward, is good at hooking and thrusting. It is a common weapon in the era when chariots were popular, but it is no longer popular today.
However, in the hands of a real expert, Chang Ge is extremely restrained by cavalry - today's hook and sickle spear evolved from Chang Ge.
The horses' hooves clattered, and the deer-wu halberd was slightly withdrawn, ready to strike;
In front of the gate of Yuan Mansion, twenty soldiers stood in formation to resist their horses, and their crossbowmen raised their crossbows.
Gongzi Yuan was assassinated, and the guards like them had nothing to do.
If someone were to break into the Yuan Mansion again and hurt the young master's bloodline, they wouldn't have to live anymore.
The war is about to break out.
"Wait a minute, we are the bodyguards of Young Master Yuan Mansion, who is here?!" A sword-wielding guard suddenly shouted, his voice shaking the night sky. It was unusually loud, and it was obvious that he had used some kind of secret technique.
Anyone who can be a sword-wielding guard in the Young Master's Yuan Mansion must be a top-notch expert, and this person's ears and eyes are particularly sensitive.
Just now, at the far intersection, there was a series of screams, as well as the sounds of swords clashing and human bodies falling. It was obvious that the golden-crowned knight was not released from there.
"呲呲呲——" Heishen braked suddenly, his horseshoes grinding out two sparks on the bluestone, and he slid all the way to the front of the military formation.
"Are you all guards of Young Master Yuan? Do you know Lin Zhong?" Lu Wu lowered his halberd to the ground and asked the sword-wielding guards who came up.
He was here to take people back, so he didn't want to go on a killing spree - if these people were from Young Master Jiu's side, that would be fine. But what would it be if he killed Young Master Yuan's bodyguard?
"Lin Zhong? He is the young master's bodyguard. The young master was assassinated. All these bodyguards are guilty of death. Now they are imprisoned in the dungeon of the mansion - why are you looking for him?"
