Chapter 141
Knowing is worse than meeting, Wu Ju was also curious, and when Qin Qiong walked around to his side, he couldn't help approaching the city wall, wanting to take a closer look.

I saw Qin Qiong, wearing a dark iron black gold armor, holding a golden mace, shining golden light, thundering leopard, running, rumbling hooves, when stationary, as stable as a mountain, behind cavalry, front, back, left, right, square, Turn left and turn right, neatly and uniformly.

When Wu Ju saw it, his body was cold, and he thought to himself how Yuan Yao trained such an elite cavalry, which even Jingzhou had never seen before.

Qu Jing and Mu Li next to him also looked at each other, and at the same time they felt lingering fear, secretly thinking that if Yuan Yao sent this cavalry out of the city to chase him down that day, they would have died long ago.

In my heart, there was a feeling of rejoicing for the rest of my life for no reason.

There are also those who don't believe in evil, or say, jealously: "What's the use of just looking good, I'm afraid it's just a show, and it will collapse at the touch of a finger."

Lai Gong next to him saw the majestic cavalry outside the city, but his heart was moved. He happened to hear someone talking wildly, so he couldn't help smiling and said to Wu Ju: "The enemy army is far away. They don't know how to cherish horsepower, but they go around the city to see my reality. I am waiting for an army of [-] people here, if this mere thousand people are allowed to show off their power and hide in the city, I am afraid it will be ridiculed."

Wu Ju looked at Lai Gong in surprise, and actually plotted for himself. However, after thinking about it, he also felt that it was reasonable. Moreover, the appearance of these cavalry obviously had some impact on the soldiers in the city, and he didn't want to lose his momentum. So he asked all the generals around him: "Who wants to go out of the city to drive away these cavalry?"

All the generals looked at each other, and said: "They have four legs, we only have two legs, how can we catch up if we go out? It's better to prepare strong bows and crossbows to keep them away."

Lai Gong sneered, as if it was true.

Wu Ju happened to see it, and felt that he had lost face, and said a little annoyed: "I don't want you to chase after me, I just need to lure them into the range of bows and arrows, and then shoot out random arrows to dampen their spirit!"

All the generals hesitated when they heard the words, and then looked at the cavalry outside the city. At this time, Qin Qiong had stopped the army and stood outside the city. There were dozens of loud voices who came close and opened their mouths Cursed: "Wu Ju rats, if you have the guts to come out and fight, the one who shrinks is the tortoise!"

What's more, he raised eyebrows, got off the horse, and immediately urinated on Wu Ju, laughing loudly: "The girl surnamed Wu dare not come out, so she drank the yellow soup on the ground, and I will retreat naturally!"

On the top of the city, Wu Ju heard it clearly, his face turned blue and then pale. Since he became the prefect, he has never been so humiliated. He immediately turned around viciously, stared at the crowd and said: "Who of you wants to go out of the city to fight? , Kill these soldiers!"

The so-called lord humiliates his ministers, Wu Ju's subordinates are still loyal people after all, they have never fought against Yuan Yao's army, and they don't know how deep they are. Immediately, a young captain came out and said loudly: "My lord, don't worry. , I am willing to fight and kill these vulgar people!"

Wu Juda was overjoyed, he opened his eyes to see him, but he was a son of the family named Wu Shi, he was brave and brave, he followed Wu Ju from childhood, he was extremely loyal and brave.

Immediately, Wu Ju gave him a glass of wine, stroked Wu Shi's back, and encouraged him: "You are worthy of being a child of my Wu family, you go ahead, as long as you disperse these soldiers, I will make you Captain Cangwu!"

When everyone heard this, their hearts were filled with enthusiasm, and they looked at Wu Shi's eyes with envy.

Wu Shi was full of fighting spirit, tightened his armor, and selected [-] soldiers and horses, with [-] spearmen in front, followed by hard crossbows for attack, but he knew that the enemy troops were all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, Of course you have to be prepared.

The gate of Cangwu City was also opened slowly. In order to show his prestige, Wu Shi took the lead and rushed out with 5000 people.

Qin Qiong outside the city had long seen that the reason why he sent people to scold him was to lure the enemy out of the city. After all, if he was a vanguard, he couldn't kill a single person, so his face was dull.

This time, although Wu Ju didn't come out, Qin Qiong was still in good spirits, lined up and saw a general looking like rushing forward, he urged the horse's belly, Hu Leibao neighed, and rushed out quickly, Qin Qiong sat on the horse, Loudly shouted angrily: "Come on, the general is named, Qin Qiong's subordinates will not kill the unknown!"

Wu Shi was about to set up the formation, when he saw a person rushing from the opposite side, he immediately responded: "The enemy will stop mad, Wu Shi, the captain of Cangwu, come to kill you!"

This Wu Shi also valued fame and fortune, and he had already unceremoniously added an official to himself before winning.

Qin Qiong didn't care about this, and shouted angrily, just to attract the attention of the enemy general. Before the enemy general could reply, Qin Qiong had already killed him before he could command the soldiers to form a formation. Qin Qiong flashed by, Hu Leibao galloped towards Wu Shi, Wu Shi was shocked, and hurriedly drew his gun to meet him.

Seeing the chiefs and generals fighting, they were afraid of hurting their own people. Who dared to shoot arrows, and the two fought together.

Qin Qiong fought and retreated, pretending to be scattered.

Wu Shi believed it was true, and stepped up his attack, pressing harder and harder, and before he knew it, he reached the edge of the bow and arrow's range.

Seeing that it was almost done, Qin Qiong gave a loud shout, as if a muffled thunder had sounded on the flat ground. Wu Shi's body trembled, and the spear in his hand was also a beat slower. Qin Qiong picked up the mace and knocked Wu Shishi's head off the horse , The war horse was frightened, dragged Wu Shi's body, and ran towards the city.

The enemy army outside the city was in chaos, they turned around and ran away, Qin Qiong didn't chase after him, restrained the army, retreated slowly out of the range of the bow and arrow, and continued to send people to fight!

On the tower, Wu Ju turned from joy to sorrow, and then his face turned ashen.

Wu Shi was the strongest general under his command, he was killed by Qin Qiong in a few moments, how could he not be scared.

The generals in the city were also terrified, looking at the cavalry outside the city, they were extremely frightened, no one would dare to fight.

Qin Qiong was yelled and scolded for an hour, but Wu Ju just evaded Wu Shi's death and went back to the city to prepare for the funeral. As for those yells and scolding, although he was angry, he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, hoping to join Gao Xiang and take revenge.

Qin Qiong saw that the soldiers and horses in the city could not come out, so he had to retreat, leaving Wu Shi's bloody head exposed on the grass outside the city, which looked particularly dazzling.

Qin Qiong beheaded Wu Shi, and morale in the city fell.

And because the soldiers outside the city spoke harshly and unbearably, many people were angry and afraid, and they were in a daze.

Lai Gong naturally saw all this and was delighted in his heart.

Li Ji in the city took the opportunity to send people to spread rumors, saying that Qu Jing saw Wu Shi dead and snickered several times behind his back.

The city was already a bit chaotic, since Wu Ju quelled the rebellion of the Yue people and Yi people last year, it also hurt his vitality, and the Han people didn't trust him too much, so these rumors gradually changed as the people continued to spread them. Moreover, the district scene itself is not a good person. He usually searches the common people, and he doesn't know anyone in Jiaozhou.

Therefore, when the rumors reached Wu Ju's ears, it turned out that Wu Ju lured wolves into the house, and the two of them worked hand in hand, which attracted Yuan Yao's army to attack.

Moreover, for some reason, the news of Yuan Yao's order to punish the thieves gradually spread.

Wu Ju was furious, and immediately ordered a large search of the city to find spies, but, with Lai Gong's cover, Wu Ju dug Cangwu three feet into the ground, but he didn't find a single enemy.

Lai Gong was able to live a very nourishing life under Wu Ju's intimidation, and his methods were also extraordinary, so naturally he was not afraid.

The people in the city were the ones who suffered the most. They were rummaged by the soldiers who broke into the city. I don’t know how much gold and silver disappeared like this. I don’t know how many innocent people were covered with stains. The giant searched the area around the east gate and had to order it to stop.

It's just that the number of soldiers coming and going on the street has increased significantly.

Although Wu Ju controlled the situation in the city, he became suspicious, and even specially called his bodyguards to inquire about the performance of the district scene in the city tower today. However, at that time, everyone paid attention to the outside of the city, who would stare at a man? .

Those personal guards were all ambiguous, which made Wu Ju even more suspicious.

Qu Jing was in the mansion, how could he not feel the strange atmosphere, he also panicked, afraid that Wu Ju would really believe the rumors and kill himself, he wanted to inquire about it, but he was alone, so he had to walk around in the room , Anxious like ants on a hot pan.

Wu Ju was suspicious for a while, and then began to feel relieved. After all, District Scenery was in his mansion, so he had nothing to worry about.

Thinking of this, Wu Ju specially sent someone to invite Qu Jing and his family to dinner to show his trust.

Only then did Qu Jing suppress the worry in his heart.

Qin Qiong won the victory, retreated ten miles away, joined forces with Yuan Yao's army, and set up camp.

Yuan Yao instructed: "Although we have won a game today, the thieves in the city are not discouraged yet. We still have to be careful, so that the sergeants can rest at ease. We will wait until midnight when Gan Ning brings the thunderbolt car."

All the generals were ordered to return to the camp and rest early. They also ambushed many small soldiers and scattered them in various places to prevent Wu Ju from taking the opportunity to rob the camp.

But at this time, Wu Juzheng was made suspicious by the rumors, and he was looking forward to Gao Xiang's reinforcements, so he had no intention of coming out to rob the camp.

Nothing happened until the middle of the night. At this time, Gan Ning's rear army escorted many vehicles, and there were long axle marks on the crushed road.

Above, are a large number of stones.This is also the reason why Liu Shang wanted to bring his soldiers. Apart from using them to boost his momentum, he also used them as free coolies to carry stones.

Of course, there is no shortage of three meals a day.These surrendered troops were fed every meal, which was many times better than following the district scene. Although loyalty was a matter of consideration, no one took the opportunity to make trouble.

When the thunderbolt car came up, Yuan Yao was not too polite. Although there were many obstacles outside the city, before changing it, he had to face the rain of arrows and clear it up bit by bit, but with the thunderbolt car, it was much easier to handle. Following the preparation of the three hundred Thunderbolt cars, countless fire bombs flew towards the distance.

This time, it was thrown to the fortifications outside the city.

Many horse pits and things inside the antlers were smashed flat by a large number of boulders before they could exert their power, and many soldiers who were full of sleep charged forward with shields on their shoulders. The drums of war are loud.

The defenders on the city had long been prepared for battle, but in the face of the attack of the Perak Chariot, everyone could only watch helplessly, and no one dared to go out of the city to stop it.After all, Yuan Yao's entire army is betting on it now.

It was night again, not every army could fight at night, otherwise, there would be no such thing as battalion roar.

In the prefect's mansion, Wu Ju was sleeping soundly, when he heard the shouts of killing from outside the city, he hurriedly got up, without even wearing his armor, he just rushed out.

Riding on the horses of the guards, before reaching the top of the city, the captain who defended the city sent a huge shield and stopped Wu Ju in front of him.

But Yuan Yao had already broken through the outer defenses and started attacking the city walls.

It's just that on the city wall, countless shields are erected, and bunkers are densely covered. The killing of soldiers is no longer as obvious as the attack on Panyu City, and they are well prepared.

It is impossible to attack Cangwu with a thunderbolt chariot.

Moreover, Yuan Yao didn't have that much time, so he could keep on bombarding.

After throwing the flying stone for an hour, the bricks and stones on the city wall were flying, and gradually stopped.

Yuan Yao was not attacking either, and ordered the army to withdraw and return to the camp.

Wu Judan was terrified. Knowing it was one thing, but seeing it was another. The horror of the boulder falling from the sky was really enough to test one's tenacity.

Seeing Yuan Yao's retreat, he breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't understand what was going on. If it was simply destroying the fortifications he had built, he could come back during the day, and the attack would be more precise.

However, he couldn't figure it out, and he didn't bother to think about it. He just ordered the soldiers to be on guard, but he felt sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep.
Right at this moment, the East Gate, which was originally peaceful, sounded the sound of war drums again. Wu Da was startled, and he didn't care to rest, and rushed to the East Gate in a hurry. The yelling of killing stopped again, and then, outside the south gate, the yelling of killing began again.

After going back and forth like this several times, the spirit of the defenders became tense, and they didn't know what to do, who still wanted to sleep.

It wasn't until this moment that Wu Ju figured out that Yuan Yao was trying to exhaust his troops.

With a wry smile, he had to order the soldiers to rest in batches and keep a close eye on everything. In this way, the sky was already bright, and many people yawned and walked on the city wall.

I saw that many places on the wall collapsed, showing the color of bricks and soil. Some people were even more unlucky. They were killed and injured by the boulder last night, and they were carried down for treatment.

This night, Yuan Yao slept extremely comfortably.

Who told him that he had too many soldiers? Those surrendered soldiers might not be able to fight, but he was very handy with this kind of bluffing and harassing the enemy.

In the past, the opponents he faced were all too strong, Yuan Yao didn't feel it yet, but since entering Jiaozhou, he clearly felt the weakness of these people.

Sometimes, he wondered why Shixie occupied such a large area of ​​Jiaozhou, but it was a safe corner. However, he was relieved to attack two places in succession. After all, Jiaozhou is far away from the middle land. The people here are not bad Bravery, but when it comes to talents, it is barren. When it comes to the army, it is even more chaotic. Most of them are still in the state of gang fights. Except for the trusted troops of the county guards in various places, few people deliberately study battle formations or strategies. Even if there is, it is from the Central Plains.

Take Qu Jing as an example, many of his subordinates are extremely elite, but these people fight in a swarm and are extremely disorganized, how can they win the battle.

However, in the end, all forces in Jiaozhou were still extremely strong, and they still had a lot of soldiers and horses in their hands. Although Yuan Yao was a little relaxed, he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

Although the army was exhausted all night, Yuan Yao still urged everyone to get up for morning exercises according to the usual practice. This is also the characteristic of Yuan Yao's army. Every morning, he starts to run in the morning, which can not only keep the soldiers in combat strength, but also strengthen the cohesion of the army. , at least for now, the effect is still good.

At the same time, the recharged cavalry battalion also quietly bypassed Cangwu City under the cover of last night's siege battle.

Yuan Yao's spies had already found out Gao Xiang's marching route, so naturally they would not miss the great opportunity to ambush.

The reason why they forcibly attacked the city last night was to attract Wu Ju's attention, so that Cangwu's defenders could not detect the movement of their own army.

It was also to put pressure on Wu Ju, so that he would not dare to go out of the city for a decisive battle.

Compared with Yuan Yao's leisurely mood, Wu Ju, who got up early, obviously had a bad complexion, especially when he saw the piles of messy stones at the north gate, his mood was even worse.

It wasn't until this time that he realized that Yuan Yaojun's catapult was different, not only had a longer range, but was also faster.

As a result, the bed crossbows and giant arrows on the city wall are difficult to pose a threat to them.

Just yesterday, he thought about it all night, what to attack the camp at night, or go out to fight in the city, but all of these need to be led by an excellent general. It is a pity that none of his subordinates can be called a general. , Wu Shi is considered half, but it is a pity that he was killed.

Naturally, Wu Ju focused his attention on Qu Jing. In fact, Qu Jing himself still has some talents to lead the army. Otherwise, it would be impossible to securely rule the South China Sea. What interests Wu Ju the most is Qu Jing. Next to Jing, there is Muli. In Jiaozhou, Muli, a Yue warrior, still has some reputation. Moreover, he also heard that Muli once fought against each other for dozens of battles before the battle. Defeat, it can be said that what he really made up his mind about was Muli and the district scenery, which was just incidental.
