"The city is broken, the city is broken--" Everyone ran and shouted, crying bitterly.
Among those who ran around and shouted, civilians accounted for the vast majority.
These days, it is normal for the army to break into the city and carry out large-scale plunder. For the residents of the city, it is a disaster for the city to be broken.
A battalion of soldiers entered the city. The sword and shield bearers protected the two wings ten steps ahead. The spearmen marched in the middle. Thirty highly skilled swordsmen wearing leather armor and holding light shields roamed in all directions. The crossbowmen occupied a high position. at.
The sergeants of this battalion cooperated with each other in a tacit and orderly manner to clean up the soldiers guarding the city. Everywhere they went was like snow.
The soldiers who lost their organization and defended the city had to face simultaneous long-range, close-up, and left-wing attacks at almost any time.
Feihe Li Yun, the number one master in Mingyuan City, was blocked by a group of ten sergeants. His long sword flew like stars. Even under the siege of ten people, he still forcibly penetrated the armor and assassinated one person. However, the leather armor was tough, and this time It was a bit slow to retract the sword, and he was hit by two shields from the left and right, so he had to let go and abandon the sword.
However, being called Feihe, Li Yun's Qinggong goes without saying. In such a desperate situation, he can still put his foot down, rise straight up from the ground, avoid the two spears and three swords coming at him, and pull with one hand. The eaves must be rolled up to the roof.
It's not that Li Yun can't jump higher, but the higher he jumps, the easier it is to become a target for crossbows. Now that he is unarmed, he can't stop the crossbows.
But at the moment when he pulled the eaves of the house and rolled up, a crossbow arrow flew towards him, forcing Li Yun to twist his body to avoid the crossbow arrow, and the speed of rolling up the house slowed down a bit.
Just in this moment of delay, two other crossbow arrows were fired one after another. Li Yun was hit in the ribs by another crossbow arrow, and another crossbow arrow hit his shoulder. His arms went weak and he could not pull his body up.
The besieging soldiers rushed forward, and two long spears came straight up, stabbing Li Yun's thigh. The two gunmen shouted in unison, and lifted Li Yun to the ground.
Then all the soldiers swarmed him and chopped him into pieces with knives.
This is a normal small-scale military confrontation.
More people are better than fewer people, organization is better than disorganization, high efficiency is better than low efficiency, high morale is better than low morale, and strong ordnance is better than weak ordnance.
Ordinary masters, with the cooperation of this kind of military formation, do not have much practical significance.
Of course Lu Wu didn't know Li Yun, but just by looking at that man's sword skills, he knew that he was at least a fifth-level master who had perfected his true power, and was no worse than the three great ministers of the Lu family.
But as long as you don't have invulnerable martial arts skills and don't have heavy armor to protect yourself, and you are surrounded by such a team of tacitly coordinated troops, if you can't break out of the encirclement in time, you will die.
Lu Wu rode the Black God and stood by the city wall, looking down at the fight below the city with no expression on his face.
The halberd in his hand drooped, and the body of County Lieutenant Yan Ming was hooked on the crescent blade, with blood dripping from it.
Less than two quarters of an hour later, the sound of killing in the city gradually became taunting. Someone ran up the city wall, came behind Lu Wu, and saluted respectfully: "Report to the general, Mingyuan City has been attacked. Please give me your orders."
The visitor is Tongwu Yingyingzheng, Jiang Jin.
He was so respectful, but he was shocked by the feat of Lu Wu smashing the city gate with a halberd, and braving the rain of arrows to climb the city wall alone, clearing out the elite in the city - how could this be something that a human being can do?
Lu Wu looked at the city and did not look back. He just raised the halberd in his hand and shook it. Yan Ming's body fell to the top of the city and ordered: "I once said that we would destroy three big families in the city and kill all the officials above the city officials. I have done it." ?"
"General, except for some officials who escaped from the north gate and are temporarily difficult to hunt down, other officials have been captured and taken into prison to wait for the general's disposal. In addition, there are seven large families in Mingyuan City, and my subordinates don't know which three to choose to destroy them. Gate, please make a decision, General."
If he had seen Lu Wu break through the door with his own eyes, Jiang Jin would have definitely made the decision on his own and chosen three relatively less influential families to kill.
As for uprooting it to avoid future troubles, that is simply overthinking.
Any noble family has children outside. This is not intentional, but a small Mingyuan County simply does not have so many vacancies and cannot accommodate so many children. Some people must go out to make a living for themselves - so it will have less impact to find three families. of.
After all, it is a very satisfying thing to be able to eat three big families in a row, especially when the blame can be dumped on Lu Wu's head with confidence, without having to bear the reputation of harming the nobles.
Lu Wu's voice was heard by everyone in Mingyuan City.
But now, with his courage, he doesn't dare to talk to himself and swallow up three big families.
In particular, the clan leader Jiang Xingde sent his own soldiers to warn him repeatedly, saying that General Lu Wu was extremely violent and no one knew what he would do in a rage.
"Lead the way." Lu Wu nodded, slightly disappointed.
Sure enough, you can't underestimate anyone.
Lu Wu was just waiting at the top of the city, waiting for the officers of Tongwu Camp to make mistakes, so that he could kill people to establish his authority, cut off the wings of the Jiang family's army, and at the same time win back the morale of the army - if he didn't find a reason to kill the officers directly under him, it would be difficult to win over these elite soldiers. For personal use.
But now the other party is doing everything right. Even if Lu Wu has always established an image of himself as a brainless and violent person, he still can't forcefully kill people.
Lu Wu followed Jiang Jin to the square in front of the county government office.
Two hundred people from the Tongwu camp had already lined up here. Twenty-one officials above Mingyuan City officials were captured, and more than a hundred staff members were also tied up and thrown in a corner, waiting for Lu Wu to fall.
(The number of official officials in Chu State is very small. There are only thirty-five official officials in the entire county. Those who really rule the county are these officials and their staff. In Mingyuan City, a formal police officer is often surrounded by There are more than ten helpers.)
In another corner, there were more than ten middle-aged and elderly men standing there, but they were not tied up, but they were surrounded by more than a hundred soldiers.
Lu Wu did not dismount from the Black God. He just glanced at the Chu officials who were tied to one side and said, "I will kill all these officials. You can select some people from the staff to maintain the operation of Mingyuan City." .”
"Yes." Jiang Jin nodded quickly.
The arrangements were made in one sentence, and then Lu Wu rode his horse to the other side. There were thirteen people here, representing seven large families in Mingyuan County.
"My Zhang family is willing to donate ten thousand taels of silver and fifty thousand dans of grain and grass to help the general achieve his great cause!" the middle-aged man in white shouted loudly.
"I, the Wang family, would like to donate 50,000 taels of silver and 200,000 dans of grain and grass!" the old man in yellow robe said, causing the middle-aged man in white to glare angrily - isn't this vicious competition?
"The Yan family presented 30,000 taels of silver and 100,000 dans of grain and grass!"
"The Yun family presented 25,000 taels of silver and 400,000 dans of grain and grass!"
"The Yuan family is willing to donate 30,000 taels of silver and 50,000 dans of grain and grass!"
"The He family is willing to donate 50,000 taels of silver and 160,000 dans of grain and grass!"
Everyone rushed to contribute money and food. As for rare antiques, you have a pearl exquisite tower, I have a purple gold and white jade bed. Anyway, most of Lu Wu has never heard of it.
What Lu Wu said just now outside the city could be heard clearly by everyone in the city. In addition, this murderous man came and killed all the officials in the city with just one sentence without blinking an eye. How could everyone not be afraid?
