Jiang Xingde didn't know what Lu Wu was planning, but Lu Wu obviously didn't want to explain, so it was hard for him to ask.
If it were other generals who commanded the army, Jiang Xingde was sure that they would never take action when Chu was so powerful.
But Jiang Xingde didn't dare to bet on Lu Wu.
This person is young and irritable, and his behavior cannot be measured by common sense.
Chu State is a large country in the world, with thirteen prefectures, each with an area ranging from tens of thousands of square kilometers to nearly one hundred thousand square kilometers, hundreds of cities, and a population of tens of millions.
It is an exaggeration to say that there are millions of armored soldiers, but one hundred thousand armored soldiers can definitely be used - this refers to the regular army. If you add in the county soldiers who are half peasants and half soldiers, it is not an exaggeration to say that there are one million soldiers.
Faced with the crushing advantage of the Chu State, without this young man in front and the Wu State as a retreat, he would not have dared to openly rebel - both of which were tied to Lu Wu.
"Jiang, give the order now, and we will never miss the general's arrangements."
Jiang Xingde called the soldiers waiting outside and told Lu Wu's request. There was not much time, and some distances were more than a hundred miles away from the supply points. The baggage team and the escorting soldiers were leaving today.
The larger the military mobilization, the more complex it involves in all aspects. However, the mobilization of a small army of about 500 people is very convenient. Although it is divided into many groups, it is not too difficult.
"Qiutong, please go and make arrangements. Our people must follow the team and wait for orders at these three places. As for the five of you, you must not separate. Wait for me here - if the situation changes, ignore others and just break out and leave. , meet at the place I agreed with you."
Lu Wu pointed out three locations on the map and asked Qiu Tong to divide the team into three teams, and set off separately with Jiang Xingde's team.
As for his last instruction, he gave it to Qiu Tong while glancing at Zhennan General Jiang Xingde.
Jiang Xingde couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face.
Jiang Xingde didn't know whether he should say that the other party was aboveboard or ignorant.
It seems that the relationship between these five female guards and the Luwu Fighting General is indeed different, and they cannot be regarded as mere guards.
————————————————
The next day, early morning.
Lu Wu was fully clothed, carrying a long halberd, and rode out of the city lord's mansion.
Logically speaking, if an army is to be deployed for an expedition, it should start from the barracks. However, Lu Wu's group only has fifty cavalry, and thirty-five of them are Jiang Xingde's personal soldiers. These people stayed at the city lord's mansion last night, so there is no need to go to the city. Prepare some soldiers and horses in the east barracks.
Everyone was following Lu Wu Ma, all looking confused. They didn't know what the boss's tactics were going to be like today - was he going to attack the city with fifty cavalry?
Jiang Xingde and Tang Chi had some guesses, but they didn't dare to be completely sure. After all, the guesses were too shocking.
"Let's go to Mingyuan County!"
Lu Wu just said something coldly, and Hei Shen spread his hooves and ran forward.
Jiang Xingde and Tang Chi looked at each other and rode their horses to follow.
The official road of Nanhe Mansion was relatively neat. Fifty war horses raised a trail of dust and smoke. In less than an hour, they arrived at Mingyuan City, thirty miles away, and joined a battalion of people who had already arrived to camp near Mingyuan City.
Lu Wu did not dismount, but just said hello, and Jiang Xingde's personal soldiers went to order the infantry to follow.
Mingyuan City is the county seat of Mingyuan County. The city wall is two feet and seven feet high, with a radius of 500 meters and a garrison of 1,500 people.
"Having come in person, is Yan County Lieutenant confident of guarding this city?" Mingyuan County Magistrate Jin Chao supported the wall and looked down. When he saw the Zhennan General's flag, he suddenly felt a little panicked and hurriedly asked the County Lieutenant Yan Ming.
"It doesn't matter, the Jiang bandits have few soldiers. How can they capture Mingyuan City with this small number of soldiers?" Yan Ming was eight feet tall, with a face as black as iron and a curly beard. He was wearing chainmail and looked at the soldiers and horses in formation in the city. , said confidently.
The opponent is just a battalion of men. Even if *** himself is a rare innate master, as long as the crossbow array concentrates on firing, he will not be able to reach the city wall.
This is not a field battle outside the city. Even an innate master cannot jump up to the city with his horse on his back.
"But I heard that someone directly broke down the Nanhe City Gate, forcing the Japanese to surrender?"
County Magistrate Jin Chao was slightly reassured, but he mentioned one more thing.
Yan Ming laughed and said: "Jin Gong, can you believe these rumors? If the city gate can be broken down by human power, then why do we need to siege the city, crash cars, and use ladders and wooden towers?"
We are all nobles of Nanhe Prefecture. Who doesn’t know what’s going on with the Jiang family?
Why can one person and one horse break down the city gate?
It's just that Jiang Zhi wanted to rebel and found a way to hide his shame.
The two were talking on the city. A knight with a golden crown and black armor below the city held his halberd upside down, rode out on horseback, came to the front of the formation, and said: "Open the city and surrender immediately! Otherwise, after the city is broken, I will destroy the three big families and officials in the city." All members and above will die."
The tone of the voice was like that of an ordinary person, and it wasn't very loud, yet it was heard all over the city.
"Hahaha, madman, do you think you can capture our Mingyuan City with this small number of troops?" Yan Ming was startled at first, then laughed, then straightened his face and shouted: "Come here, shoot these people with me." people!"
A confidant warrior stood next to him, drew his big bow and shot out an arrow.
The feathered arrow was like a shooting star, but the golden-crowned knight below the city just lifted his halberd a little with one hand, and the tip of the halberd hit the tip of the arrow.
The long arrow split evenly in half from tip to tail, and then fell to the ground.
Such a magical skill left all the soldiers and officers in the city stunned.
"Since you want to die, a certain family will help you." The knight with the golden crown charged forward on his horse, raised his halberd and headed straight for the city gate.
"It turned out to be a fool——" Yan Ming laughed.
"What if?" Jin Chao's expression changed slightly.
There was only a "boom" sound, and the city wall shook slightly under my feet. Some soldiers in the city shouted in panic: "The city gate is broken, the city gate is broken!"
Yan Ming's dark face instantly paled.
Jin Chao's face was so white that it was almost transparent.
The two looked at each other - it turned out that the legend of one person breaking through the city gate was actually true!
Then this person said that he wanted to destroy three big families and kill more than one official. Is it true?
Yan Ming and Jin Chao were one county captain and one county magistrate. They were not considered big local households (locals did not serve as local officials), but they were definitely officials or above.
The two of them only hesitated for a moment, only to hear the thunderous sound of hooves, the knight with the golden crown unexpectedly rushed up on his horse along the stairs of the city wall.
"Fire the arrow, fire the arrow quickly, the gunman steps forward to stop it!" Yan Ming shouted.
Bows and crossbows were fired, and arrows rained down.
The deer and Wu halberds are dancing around the body like the Milky Way around the mountain, which is impermeable to wind and rain. No matter how many bows and crossbows are fired at close range, none of them can get close.
The Black God's hooves kept moving, and he jumped over a dozen steps and rushed up to the city wall in an instant.
The city wall is no more than three steps wide.
The Black God ran in a straight line on the city wall, and the deer and Wu halberds were released. Wherever he passed, there was a trail of blood, and no one was dead.
"Stop, I'll wait until they surrender!" County Magistrate Jin Chao shouted.
Lu Wu didn't say a word, he just fought all the way.
Some soldiers hurriedly jumped down the city and escaped with their lives. As for whether they broke their legs, they couldn't care less.
Seeing the golden crown knight approaching, Yan Ming also jumped out of the city wall to escape.
The weight of the halberd was unknown. Yan Ming saw the halberd hit the wall stack with one swing, and the large wall stack immediately collapsed.
Anyway, Yan Ming felt that he would never be able to block a blow.
But he jumped out of the city wall, and just a moment after his body began to fall, his jaw felt sharp pain - his whole body was forcibly hung in the air by the halberd.
Below the city, soldiers swarmed in.
Wails broke out in the city.
Tang Chi sighed: "General Lu is indeed unparalleled in his power. Throughout the ages, only a few can defeat a city by one person!"
"It is a blessing for us to have a fighting general like General Lu sitting in command." Jiang Xingde stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and then said.
It would be better if General Lu could trust him - he was not worried about Lu Wu's combat power. He was only worried that if a large army fought against each other, Lu Wu's blind command would ruin the good situation.
Personal force and command ability are two fields of military strategists that are unrelated to each other.
Jiang Xingde and Tang Chi did not enter the city.
Lu Wu entered the city, and another battalion entered the city. Mingyuan City was just a small town. It could be said that the overall situation was decided. It would not be good for the two of them to go in and steal the limelight.
