South River City.
The murder of City Lord District Wen Yi caused far more profound turmoil than Lu Wu thought in advance.
Ou Wenyi is very resourceful. He has been in Nanhe City for five years and has consolidated the power of military, financial and personnel appointment and dismissal in his hands. Although the people who do the actual work are all Ou Wenyi's disciples, there is no Ou Wenyi sitting behind the scenes. , these relatively young disciples may not be able to suppress the Chu nobles in Nanhe City.
Lu Wu killed Ou Wenyi. While destroying the core of Nanhe City's operation, he also offended Ou Wenyi's disciples.
What's more, not only Ou Wenyi, Lu Wu also killed Xu Yang and Xu Ziteng, who was a guest at his old friend's place. This matter has not yet spread to Chengdu, but it is conceivable that it will definitely cause an uproar.
Xu Yang has been teaching at Qingquan Academy for nearly thirty years, and his disciples are all Legalist disciples all over the Chu Kingdom, including students from other countries.
Xu Yang had never been an official in his life and had a great reputation in the Qing Dynasty. Such a person was inexplicably killed by a Wu barbarian. How could his disciples let it go?
However, Lu Wu didn't feel that he was in big trouble yet.
It was the officials of Nanhe City who were sweating profusely now.
Ou Wenyi was killed, and Zhennan General Jiang Xingde, as the top general of Nanhe City, was the first to bear the brunt.
In the meeting hall, he looked around and said in a deep voice: "Now that the water stronghold has been destroyed and the warships are scattered, it is not enough to block the Lanshui. If the Wu State takes the opportunity to cross the river, with this person working together inside and outside, it will be difficult for us to resist. We must timely attack Only by killing this beast can Nanhe Mansion be saved."
Nanhe City is the capital of Nanhe Prefecture. Nanhe Prefecture has a total of 21 counties, 135 towns, and countless villages. Even though most of the prefectures in Chu State have rich water and grass, Nanhe Prefecture's grain production is second to none and is extremely important to Chu State.
Nanhe Prefecture was originally Zhenjiang Prefecture of Wu State.
It's not that Jiang Xingde doesn't know how powerful military generals are, it's just that Ou Wenyi was killed in the city. As the top general in charge of Nanhe City, he cannot escape the blame. If he doesn't show his performance, this crime alone is enough to make him lose his official position. .
So anyone can be a coward, but he must not be.
Unless he can take down Lu Wu to avenge the district city lord - or at least act like he is incompatible with Lu Wu and fight to the death, then it is possible to keep his official position.
Several people below shook their heads, but none of them spoke.
They are all foxes of thousands of years. They know that Jiang Xingde has no choice but to take the initiative, so there is no point in stopping him.
They knew that the water stronghold had been breached, so naturally it was reported by the Chu army sailors who escaped by boat from the water stronghold.
The morale of those soldiers had completely collapsed and they were unfit for use.
According to them, that day the knight with the golden crown rushed into the water village like a demon. Wherever he passed was a wave of blood, killing people freely and freely. It was simply not the appearance of the human world, and it must be a ghost.
Even if some exaggerations are removed from this, after checking with each other, one thing can be 100% confirmed - that is, the other party just killed a water stronghold of 5,000 people and collapsed with just one person and one horse!
If you rely on the city to defend, if you can't stop people, you can at least stop horses - a general without horses is like breaking his legs. No matter how fierce the military battle is, without horses, the force will always be a little worse.
Chu State borders Yan State and Qi State in the north. There have been many disputes. It is not unheard of to see the terrifying scene of fighting generals charging into battle.
"Okay, since everyone has no objections, I will assign them."
"Doctor Tang is responsible for detecting thieves in the city, so we must not disturb the people in the city. Lieutenant General Lu Ze will guard the city after I leave the city. I will leave you five thousand troops. You must not lose anything in Nanhe City!"
"General, how is this possible?" Lu Ze quickly refused: "It's better to let the last general go into battle, and the general will sit in Nanhe City."
"Don't say anything more. I have been a close friend of Dr. District for many years. How can I not avenge him?"
While the two were pushing back, a guard with a sword rushed in, rolling and crawling. He didn't even have time to salute, so he shouted: "The city gate was broken by the deer Wu, and people have already rushed in. Please, sir." Run away quickly!"
————————————————————
The attack on Nanhe City had been planned for a long time. If he hadn't had no men at the time, he would have taken Nanhe City by the way when he entered the city and killed Ou Wenyi.
If it were a small town where the roar from the south gate could be heard even from the north gate, that would be fine. In a big city like Nanhe City, even if he was a master of martial arts, it would be impossible for him to capture it by himself, so he had to go out of the city to search for his subordinates.
The convoy walked until it was still about ten miles away from Nanhe City. Lu Wu ordered Qiu Tong to lead the infantry behind, and he led the four girls, plum orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and thirty-four cavalry to attack Nanhe City.
There is no way, there are few war horses in the south, and the water village is not an army. There are many donkeys, oxen, and mules used for pulling, but there are only more than thirty war horses.
"Close the city gate! Close the city gate, that man is here again!"
Lu Wu and others were still five miles away. On the gate tower of the city wall, the captain in charge of the lookout was already shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Close the city gate!" the soldiers on the city wall repeated.
"Close the city gate!" the soldiers below the city preached.
Using force one after another, the order was quickly conveyed to the city gate passage.
Ten soldiers on each side worked together to push the half-foot-thick iron-clad city gate to slowly close, and then lowered the three-foot-thick gate inserts from the top of the city gate through pulley slings and locked them into the buckle grooves.
The last time Lu Wu unexpectedly entered the city, it was because he only saw one man and one horse. The soldiers guarding the city did not expect that they were entering the city to kill people.
On the city wall, archers, crossbowmen, and gunners all leaned against the female wall, preparing to defend the city.
"Master, what should I do?" Yulan asked as her horse galloped.
The original idea was to seize the city unexpectedly, but now it doesn't seem feasible.
"This door is no more than a foot and a half thick. I will break it down first, and you will follow later!" Lu Wu said, the halberd in his palm making a roar like a dragon's roar.
Black God suddenly hissed, gravel flew everywhere where the horse's hooves stepped, and his speed suddenly doubled. He left the other horses far away and rode away alone.
"Prepare - let go!" someone on the wall shouted.
Where the bowstrings sounded, arrows rained down.
The Black God made a sound that didn't sound like a horse's neighing, but rather like the roar of a beast. A burst of white air suddenly came out of his mouth and nose. On top of his speed, which was as fast as thunder, he suddenly increased his speed by three points. He just managed to get ahead of this. Before the arrow rain fell, it rushed through the area covered by the arrow rain and hit the city gate directly.
This second acceleration was beyond the imagination of the soldiers guarding the city wall. Before the soldiers with spears and crossbows had time to take action, Lu Wu had already raised the roaring halberd, and with the power of the black god like lightning and thunder, he stabbed with the halberd. out!
Wherever this halberd passed, clouds and fog rose up and lingered for a long time, creating a trail of clouds and mist in the sky.
In the clouds and mist, the halberd is like a demon dragon struggling and leaping, trying to break free from its shackles and regain freedom!
The blue dragon fights with the sea halberd - split the golden lock and drive away the dragon!
This stance is the starting stance of Qing Long Nao Hai Ji, and it is also the general outline of Qing Long Nao Hai Ji. It uses the halberd and the true energy to vibrate at high speed simultaneously, pulling the true energy of the Nine Netherworld Sea to penetrate, vibrate, and crush all hard things!
