Bastard’s Resurgence

Lu Zheng immediately let go. Since there is a decision, the action must be fast, and there must be no room for delay.

It has to be said that Lu Zheng’s arbitrariness has had a huge impact in the army. The generals who are gearing up and eager to try are naturally very excited, but many civilian counsellors are murmured in their hearts, and they secretly pinch for Lu Zheng. Put cold sweat!

The most unfavorable factor for the Central Plains War for the Liaodong Army was the shortage of food and grass, and the current army has not opened its depth in the Central Plains, and the army of Cao Weiming and Tan Lei has reached Huazhou.

In terms of combat strength, the Liaodong Army must have the absolute upper hand, but if Tan Lei and Cao Weiming do not seek merits, but seek no demerits, they will defend the city firmly. The test of the Liaodong Army is also huge!

After all, the Liaodong Army now has only ten days of rations, can it make achievements in a battle within ten days?

However, fortunately, Lu Zheng's control over civil and military officials is very well in place. Since Lu Zheng decided on this matter arbitrarily, there is nothing to say. No matter what opinions you have, you must work together for the same goal now. Win this battle at all costs.

Lu Zheng ordered the general and arranged for General Liu Song to personally lead 30,000 horses as the vanguard, heading towards Huazhou City. And Lu Zheng himself led the army to follow, and let Kuang Zi and Xiao Ran rush to Wangzhou in two separate routes. The defense might be from the enemy in Wangzhou. Once the arrangements were made, Lu Zheng ordered that the army was opened overnight, and the army would not be delayed for a moment. Go straight to Huazhou.

Lu Zheng made up his mind to make a quick fight. Time is not on his side. More importantly, Cao Weiming’s army has just arrived in Huazhou. His army has come from afar and has an unstable footing. If you don’t take this opportunity to make a move, wait. With Cao Weiming firmly established in Huazhou, Lu Zheng would have to win Huazhou with half the effort.

Two hundred miles from Miaocheng to Huazhou, Lu Zheng drove overnight until dawn and then camped in the dense forest, hiding his whereabouts. In this way, after two nights of rapid march, Liu Song's pioneer army finally arrived under Huazhou.

After arriving in Huazhou City, Liu Song had people cut down wood to build a siege vehicle overnight. At this time, Cao Weiming was setting up military affairs in Huazhou City!

Huazhou City has never been a major military town, so it is lacking in combat readiness all the year round. In addition, the city is not large, and the entire city has only 350,000 people. Suddenly, there are tens of thousands of horses in a city. It is not easy to settle down. Things.

And his bigger test is to quickly build the city, organize the defense, and quickly arrange the materials to defend the city, because he knows that Lu Zheng will definitely come to Huazhou.

He and Lu Zheng are already old opponents. The two have dealt with each other for many years. It is too clear what role Lu Zheng is and how difficult this guy is to deal with him!

Cao Weiming has not had a smooth life in the Central Plains these years. He has been struggling to survive in the cracks, and all his hands are limited. And this time, he took the initiative to invite Ying to send troops to Huazhou and it was a helpless move, because he knew better than anyone the truth that there are no eggs in the nest.

If Lu Zheng really took the Central Plains, he would have no place to stand for Cao Weiming from now on. Although Tan Lei is difficult to deal with in comparison, it would be extremely difficult for Tan Lei to eat Cao Weiming in the Central Plains in one bite. More importantly, Lu Zheng is very young, and Tan Lei is already quite old!

If politics|governance is patience and energy consumption, Cao Weiming is sure to consume Tan Lei, but does he consume Lu Zheng? Lu Zheng is much younger and more powerful than Tan Lei. Therefore, Lu Zheng is the real threat to survival.

Cao Weiming is a man who knows soldiers, so after he arrived in Huazhou, he put his important work on defending the city. Although the soldiers and horses have not been fully settled, he has quickly mobilized manpower to re-strengthen the city wall.

Moreover, he arranged for the guarding of the city, such as wood rolling stones, fire oil, lime, and other materials on the city wall. When he was intensively arranging the defense of the city, the scouts came to report that Lu Zheng’s army had arrived outside the city. .

Cao Weiming took a deep breath and shouted, "Is it so fast? The surnamed Lu is really crazy, even the cavalry he is desperate! Go, follow me up to the city and take a look!"

After boarding the Huazhou Tower, Cao Weiming saw the camp outside the city from a distance. There were countless flags on display in the military tent, and the big "willow" was embroidered on the flag.

"Liu Song is the vanguard himself. At this glance, there are 30,000 horses! The time to come is finally here! There is nothing to say for the present plan, each will be in place, ready to fight to the death!" Cao Weiming shouted, his eyes rounded He opened, his face was full of suffocation, he paused, and continued: "Come here, give me armor. From today on, I will not retreat or remove my armor, so I will cheer up!"

Cao Weiming put on his armor and stood on the tower. About Mozhan tea time, he heard the agitation of the horn in the distance, and saw Liu Song’s cavalry coming from a distance. Behind the cavalry was a huge ten. Several siege carts, catapults, and cavalry were carrying sand, gravel and soil. Obviously they were preparing to build a high platform under the city wall. This battle was a deadly battle from the beginning, and Lu Zheng did not give himself a way out.

Liu Song straddled the horse, raised the spear in his hand high, and said, "Did you guys see it? Huazhou is right in front of you! I have issued a military order in front of the prince, and I will break the city within three days. Can't break the city, I am willing to engage in military law!

Since it is a military order, there is nothing to say, you will follow me altogether, I will die too! Tens of thousands of us have died under this Huazhou, and we have to flatten Huazhou, and we have to knock on the iron gate leading to the Central Plains for my Liaodong iron ride! "

Liu Song's instructions only made the soldiers of the Liaodong Army enthusiastic, and all the soldiers shouted in unison: "Break the city, break the city, break the city!"

Tens of thousands of people shouted and shook the world, but Liu Song waved his hand and led the army straight down the city! The siege cart under the city walked in front, followed by the cavalry with mud and sand. The cavalry was all dressed in battle armor, hiding behind the horse, and the man with a bow, the arrow rain siege cart above the city blocked all the way, iron armor. The horse blocked all the way, so he rushed to the city with arrows.

After reaching the bottom of the city, the cavalry used their bows to shoot over the city wall. The horses unloaded the gravel and the infantry began to attack the siege vehicle. The cavalry followed all the way, from cavalry to infantry, people like ants. Generally dense, incessant.

Cao Weiming is a battle-tested veteran. As soon as the so-called expert reaches out, he will know if there is any. As soon as Liu Song's siege army rushes under the city wall, his heart hangs up, knowing that he has encountered a hard stubble today!

Immediately he couldn't take care of anything, and ordered the archer to madly throw arrows, and then the wood rolling stones above the head of the city, fire oil and lime greeted one after another. Do everything you can.

Almost in an hour’s time, corpses were everywhere under Huazhou City. Although there were fewer deaths and injuries on the side guarding the city, it was also a mess. Those who fell to the ground with an arrow, were killed by the soldiers on the top of the city, and even There are countless people who have been injured by their own wood rolling stones and fire oil.

Cao Weiming personally commanded the deadly battle on the top of the city. Facing the opponent's mad attack, Cao Weiming was extremely timid. With this posture in front of him, how could Huazhou City be able to defend it? Can't hold it at all!

Finally, the opponent’s offensive was suspended a bit, and Cao Weiming came down from under the city wall. He immediately ordered the counsellors to enter the account, and said straightforwardly:

"The thief is fierce. Write a letter to General Tan and ask him to come and help him quickly, telling him that Lu Zheng's army of one hundred thousand has already surrounded Huazhou, and my tens of thousands of soldiers can't hold it for three days!"

Cao Weiming gave an order, and the people below immediately wrote a letter and sent it to the flying pigeons. In order to ensure the smooth delivery of the letter, more than 20 pigeons were released in one breath.

After passing the news, Cao Weiming immediately inquired about the city's defense equipment. At this time, he could only use relentless recruitment. There were not enough soldiers, so he recruited civilians to strengthen the city's defense overnight. In addition, kerosene, lime, etc. | things must be prepared overnight, and there must be no reservations.

I have to say that today’s battle is really too hasty. It was a bit messy for Cao Weiming. In the rush, he can’t deploy city defenses in an orderly manner, because when he deployed city defenses, he immediately started. After receiving an emergency report, the emergency report said that the east, west, north and south gates of Huazhou City were attacked by the enemy, and the east gate and south gate were in a hurry.

Hearing this news, Cao Weiming only felt cold in his heart, and his whole body's hairs were standing up. He still had the mind to discuss matters in the account. He immediately took his spear and rushed out of the camp, shouting: "Now all Go up the city wall for me, and fight until dark, and wait until dark for all major events!

Remember, Huazhou City is broken, this is the place where all of us are buried, Lu Zheng is the most cruel, he will definitely not stay alive!

In addition, we must also tell the people in the city that Huazhou is broken and everyone will die, so that the people must also be prepared. If the city is not held, none of them can live! "

Cao Weiming was almost roaring wildly, but when he saw his eyes were red, he almost burst into flames, and looked terrifying. At this time he really killed Red Eye.

Like him, Liu Song was stunned outside the city! Seeing his soldiers stepping forward, one by one rushed upward, but even if Huazhou City could not be broken, he was so anxious that he would only get angry, and the big beads of sweat on his forehead fell down.

"Fuck, this surnamed Cao is really a horn, I haven't seen him before! Let me listen to it, we will advance or retreat in this battle, Lao Tzu personally!"

After Liu Song said that he was about to charge after he stepped on the horse, he was immediately dragged by a few guards, and all the soldiers in the account changed in disguise.

"General, you are the main general. This battle is about the life and death of both of us. How can the general rush to the front line so hastily? If so, the prince must be punished heavily!"

Liu Song gave up now, but his heart was really uncomfortable. He pulled out the long sword, pointed at Huazhou City with the sword, and shouted: "If the city is broken, I will personally smash Cao Weiming's body to pieces! "
