The luxurious carriage rolled over the wooden planks and drove into a large ship - this was the best river ship owned by the Yun family of the great merchant of Wu State. It was escorted by five warships on both sides, and the treatment was not bad.
Mr. Lu Chang stepped out of the carriage, looked at the endless Lanshui River, took a deep breath, and felt the unique fishy smell of the river.
"Sister." A familiar voice came from behind. It was Lu Yunshi, Lu Wu's biological mother.
"Yun'er, it's windy on the river, why don't you wear more clothes?" Lu Chang turned around, only to see Lu Yun wearing a floral undergarment, and said reproachfully.
"It's okay, I just don't know how Wu'er is doing now." Lu Yunshi looked in the direction opposite Lanshui and said worriedly.
Most of them got the news about Lu Wu's actions from the Queen Mother Mingji.
Deeds such as riding through the city alone, rushing into battle alone, beheading Nanhe Prefecture officials and other deeds are thrilling just listening to them. Now that he is about to cross the river to control the territory of Luwu, naturally he has some ups and downs.
That was the founding king of the country!
Especially the children they watched grow up, even thinking about it now, it feels like they are in a dream.
"Wu'er is such a hero, he must be extremely majestic now." Mrs. Lu Chang consoled her.
"I don't know how much Wu'er has suffered - Wu'er has been pampered since he was a child. Just thinking about how he has to fight with those rough guys all day long, I feel an indescribable discomfort in my heart." Lu Yun The circles under his eyes turned a little red and he wiped them with his hands.
Lu Yun is a son of the Chang family, a big businessman. He has been with the young lady since she was a child. During the most difficult time, she was just following the young lady to marry the master. She also had to follow the master Lu Jinhe all the way from Nanyun County. Rushing to Songjing, the journey was dusty.
In her eyes, Lu Wu's life was very good when he was eating, drinking, sleeping and fishing at Lu's house. Now he is fighting in battle and building a national palace, which is naturally extremely painful.
Lu Chang couldn't help but laugh: "Good sister, do you know that those who fight with Wu'er are not rough men. They are elites in the army and masters in the world. If you listen to the words 'have been pampered since childhood' 'To describe Wu'er, they are afraid that even if they die, they will be angry again and come back to life."
Having said this, Mr. Lu Chang became a little nervous.
What has Wuer become now? I heard that Wuer is now murderous and brutal. Will he be obedient and marry the head of Gouchen County?
She had made a sure decision in front of Queen Mother Mingji, but thinking that she would really have to face Wu'er, Lu Chang had a headache - Wu'er was stubborn, what should she do if Wu'er really refused to marry? Are you forcing him to marry Gou Chen? Can you hold it down?
Now Gou Chen has been promoted to the county lord. This is because Lu Wu's status is different from the past. In order to match the status, Yue State rushed five hundred miles on horseback to deliver a bunch of documents and temporarily ennobled Gou Chen as the county lord of Luo County. It's like having a fiefdom.
As soon as I thought of this future daughter-in-law, the hook came to me.
The river wind blew her white clothes, and the girl smiled like a flower: "Aunts, it's cold on the river, why don't you go into the cabin?"
"County Master Gouchen, we are all old women. We have been married and raised for so many years. It is rare that we have the opportunity to see a river like Lanshui. We come out to see the scenery. However, County Master Gouchen is wearing too thin clothes. He is about to get big." It will be bad if the county master catches the cold during the wedding." Mrs. Lu Chang said with a graceful and kind face, smiling.
"Auntie, don't look at me like this. I'm a fourth-level expert!" Gou Chen slashed his hand, and a wisp of sword energy split Jiang Feng into two halves. He then withdrew his hand, acting innocent.
Mr. Lu Chang was taken aback.
She didn't know what it was like to produce sword energy with bare hands, but fourth-level masters were rare in the world, and the highest-level worshipers in the Lu family were only at the fifth-level level.
"Auntie, I have admired General Lu for a long time. Auntie, please help me say more good things. I also want to lead troops to fight like Sister Qiutong." Gou Chen squeezed between the Lu Chang family and the Lu Yun family, using his hands He held their arms and said softly.
Lu Changshi: "————"
Why is this daughter-in-law’s preferences so strange?
"I've been fond of martial arts since I was a child. I just hate that as a girl, I can't make achievements. But since General Lu can let Sister Qiutong take charge of her own business, then I can do it too."
————————————————————
Ten trebuchets threw fragments of fist-sized rocks onto the city wall. They did not seek to kill people, but only sought to beat the heads of the defending soldiers and bleed them to death.
A watchtower was built two hundred steps outside the city wall and was nine feet high. Someone was dedicated to observing the mobilization of people in the city and notifying Lu Wu with flags.
Five ladders were set up on the four-foot-high city wall. Teams of soldiers risked their lives and ran up the ladders.
This batch of ladders is different from the previous simple versions. It is a full-featured version. The base is a huge vehicle one foot six feet wide and fixed with twelve wooden stakes.
The ladder body is six feet wide and made of solid wood. There are rungs on it to prevent your feet from slipping. There are even railings on both sides. It is more like a plank road than a ladder.
The ladder body is divided into three sections. The last section is only one foot long. It is made of steel and has a hook. As long as it is fastened to the city wall, unless someone can overturn the ladder together with the soldiers on it, it will be impossible to knock it down.
There were killing sounds all over the city, arrows were flying like rain, and screams were endless.
A boulder as big as three heads flew out of the city and landed with a thud less than a foot in front of the Black God's horse. The ground shook, then rolled towards the Black God.
Black God raised one front hoof and stepped on the rolling boulder - although the boulder was heavy, its speed also slowed down after it made a big hole in the ground and popped out.
An ordinary soldier would naturally not be able to block the impact of this boulder. However, in terms of strength alone, the Black God is smaller than Luwudu and far above Qiutong - this is determined by the physique of the species, not Said that Kurokami is much stronger than Qiutong.
Lu Wu didn't even move his eyes, he just looked at the attack and defense of both sides on the top of the city, frowning slightly.
In the past, when Lu Wu captured the city, he always rushed into the city unexpectedly and captured the city gate. He rarely fought serious siege battles. However, now that Tonghe Prefecture is in full swing, I wish I could shoot down every bird that flies in the sky to take a look. A sneak attack is almost impossible.
So Lu Wu chose a county town and tried his own soldiers' siege methods.
The results are not promising.
With all the siege equipment available and even some surplus, more than 40 people were lost just to fill in a moat less than two feet wide - this was still covered by a caravan similar to a car crash, and the people hid under the carport to transport earth and rocks. So many people have been lost in the past.
When the siege officially began, a watchtower was first knocked down by stones flying from the city. Fortunately, the watchtower was made of wooden poles and was only shaky. There was still time to safely remove the archers on top.
Therefore, the shooting platform that was supposed to be close to the city and suppress the archers on the city from a high position could not stand within a hundred steps outside the city. Naturally, it could not suppress the archers on the city. It could only play an observation and command role.
After a heavy-loss exchange of fire, the ladder finally reached the top of the city. As a result, in just a quarter of an hour, our side lost at least a hundred elites, and there was no hope of taking over the city wall.
Do you want to take action yourself?
But if I take action and attack the city in the future, will I have to be a living siege weapon? Then you still want these subordinates to be useless?
Although this is just a training siege, it would be a bit ugly to fight like this.
