Before the captains and Fenyuan General Cen Zhan could react, the giant black horse continued to move forward. The halberd in the hands of the knight with the golden crown just probed, scratched, twisted and hooked, and the four long swords flew into the air.
The four captains had empty hands and confused faces. They didn't even know how to release the swords in their hands.
It took only a moment for Lu Wu to make all these movements with the halberd in his hand.
Those with slightly poor eyesight could only see a ball of black light swaying in the tent, and then turned into a black halberd blade again.
Black iron is naturally a rare treasure for ordinary blacksmiths, and they may not be able to recognize it.
But for Chu generals like Cen Zhan, it was not uncommon to find materials that could be purchased with money. However, Cen Zhan felt even colder when he recognized the dark iron blade on the front of the bronze halberd.
Although dark iron is hard, it is extremely heavy and is not suitable for being directly used to make weapons. It is usually processed into thin sheets, wrapped with ordinary gold and iron, and beaten into blades.
The length of the halberd in the palm of the Golden Crown Cavalry General is one foot and six feet. The halberd's shaft, which is as thin as a duck's egg, originally weighed about a hundred kilograms. If the dark iron crescent blade and the halberd's blade were added, the halberd would probably weigh only one hundred and thirty kilograms. Forty pounds.
Such a heavy halberd can easily smash a human body into two pieces with just a halberd pole, let alone a long sword. Even without a crescent blade, it is easy.
What was even more frightening was that the opponent was actually able to dance the halberd like a spiritual snake, and in an instant the swords of the four captains under his command flew away.
Such people were so close to each other and blocked by a large tent. Although Cen Zhan had never given up his martial arts training, he didn't think he had a chance to escape.
As for the personal guards guarding the Chinese army's tent - if Cen Zhan heard correctly just now, they should all be dead.
However, the other party had no intention of continuing to take action.
The giant black horse stood in the middle of the camp. The knight with the golden crown placed his halberd across the horse's back, leaned forward slightly, and said condescendingly:
"Don't panic, don't panic. Two generals, please put down the small piece of iron in your hands. This thing can't hurt me - and please relax, generals. As long as the Chu Kingdom brings the ransom, I will let you go back."
As he spoke, the extremely young-looking golden crown knight showed a smile on his face.

When Cen Zhan was setting up the camp, he also considered that the defenders of Danchen City would risk a night attack while he was tired from the distance. However, since he arranged the camp strictly in accordance with the rules and arranged five hundred cavalry as guards, he had done a good job. .
In Cen Zhan's opinion, the cavalry moved relatively quickly. The five hundred cavalry could quickly reach any point along the road left in the camp. These people relied on the camp to hold on, but they could not delay it for an hour and a half before he had time to call out. Wake up the soldiers and line up to fight.
However, if he knew that Lu Wu was able to defeat seven cities in a row by charging on horseback and smashing the city gates with a halberd to enter the city, he would definitely have to change his mind.
What he didn't know yet was that in the four counties at the junction of Yuci, Tonghe and Quantu Prefectures, all the county lieutenants and garrison officers had been replaced by Lu Wu, and at Jiang Xingde's suggestion, some of them were retained. Part of the regular army serves as the backbone.
These low-level non-commissioned officers promoted by Lu Wu may not have the ability to lead an army on an expedition, but they are more careful than the original officers when they stick to the city and unite the morale of the grassroots soldiers.
Moreover, almost all of these people were from humble backgrounds and had improper positions (they were not promoted through regular channels). They knew very well what would happen to them after the Chu army captured the city, and their desire to fight to the death was much stronger than that of the original noble officers.

Lu Wu led his army in a night attack, defeated the Chu army's camp, and directly captured Fenyuan general Cen Zhan and his six lieutenants, killing all the upper-level officers.
Cen Zhan and others did not intend to die for their country. When they heard that Lu Wu was going to exchange them for some ransom and food, they immediately relaxed and ordered the soldiers to surrender.
With Cen Zhan and others coming forward, Lu Wu easily surrendered five thousand Chu soldiers. As for the other soldiers, most of them took advantage of the chaos to escape, and a few were killed in the chaos.
All in all, the killings in this battle were not too heavy. When collecting the corpses, more than a hundred bodies were found, and nearly a thousand people were injured - neither Lu Wu nor Cen Zhan took it seriously.
The military camp in Danchen County could not accommodate so many prisoners, so a prison camp was built overnight outside the city. Although the original camp could be used, it was not a camp specifically used to hold prisoners. Using that camp, the few people in Danchen County But it may not be possible to watch the surrender of five thousand troops.
After a busy night, Lu Wu ordered the captain of Danchen County to take care of the prisoners, and he took General Fenyuan Cen Zhan and six captains into the city to rest.
"Is the general Wu Guo Lu Wu?" Cen Zhan asked.
After a night attack on the camp, Lu Wu didn't have a name at all. Although Cen Zhan was extremely confident that this person was the Wu Kingdom fighting general mentioned in the military report, he still wanted to ask.
"Well, I am Lu Wu, but today I have offended General Cen and several captains." Lu Wu said with a smile.
Cen Zhan shook his head: "In the battle between the two armies, they used every possible means, so there is no way to offend the argument. But General Lu said that we can redeem it with a ransom. I wonder how much ransom is needed?"
"I don't know either. I'll have to ask others later to know the appropriate price." Lu Wu turned around and said.
Since he couldn't find out the ransom amount, Cen Zhan changed the topic.
"General Lu is so brave. He is able to break through my camp without any personal soldiers. I am afraid that ordinary military strategists may not be able to do this. General Lu is so young. I wonder which military art he has inherited?"
In the military report received by Cen Zhan, it only said that Lu Wu was a rare military general in the Wu Kingdom in a hundred years. It did not say that he was so young, nor did it say that Lu Wu defeated seven cities in one day with the help of the halberd in his palm. The city was conquered only by smashing the city gates.
"It's hard to tell you this." Lu Wu shook his head.
He does have a military heritage, and there is more than one, but it is a military martial arts heritage from another world. It would be troublesome to tell it, so it is better to keep it a secret.
"It seems that the inheritance of General Lu is not a trivial matter, but it was Cen who took the liberty." Cen Zhan laughed and dropped the topic.
In Danchen County, they found a courtyard donated by a wealthy family named Ma, and settled in Cen Zhan and others. Lu Wu was not yet relieved, so he specially called a team of men and horses, armed with crossbows to guard them, and he was not far away. Choose a house to rest.
Although these people were allowed to be flattened and rounded in Lu Wu's hands, the five captains had achieved great success (one of them was seriously injured by the black god's kick and was being rescued), their muscles, bones, skin and membranes were somewhat alienated, and their internal energy was also a little bit weak. When the fire is divided, if there is no crossbow, just these five people working together, thirty or fifty people can't stop them.
The Fenyuan General Cen Zhan had even reached the fourth level of cultivation, and his Qi was nearly full. If he had not only had a long sword in his hand at that time, he might not have been so vulnerable.
