The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

After learning the military news of Liangcheng, Lu Xiuyuan and his subordinates worked overnight to develop a siege plan, and on a sunny morning, they led their troops to Liangcheng.

When they arrived at Liangcheng, the soldiers guarding Liangcheng discovered them before they got close to the moat. They quickly gathered their forces on the city wall, drew their bows and aimed their arrows at them, ready to shoot as soon as they got close to the moat.

However, Lu Xiuyuan was well prepared. He directly had someone push over a "trench-making vehicle" made according to Xia Younan's drawings.

A high barrier was erected in front of the trench-making vehicle to block arrows shot from the opposite side, and it was filled with sand, gravel or bags for filling the river.

When the trench-building vehicle gets close to the moat, you can easily throw stones in by opening the window.

In this way, it can not only resist arrows, but also fill the moat quickly and conveniently.

Hundreds of trench-building vehicles had already been filled with soil and stone filling materials. Following Lu Xiuyuan's order, the soldiers pushed the trench-building vehicles and rushed towards the moat with murderous intent.

The soldiers on the enemy's city wall immediately shot arrows, and countless arrows rained down on this side. The barrier erected in front of the trench-building cart instantly became a hedgehog, but the soldiers pushing the cart were unharmed.

The other party couldn't help but panic when they saw this scene, but they couldn't think of any other way, so they could only shoot arrows desperately.

Lu Xiuyuan commanded his soldiers, and the trench-building vehicles dumped filler into the moat again and again. In less than an hour, the moat was filled and turned into flat ground.

The drawings my wife gave me are really useful!

Lu Xiuyuan looked at the effect in surprise and couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

Building a trench car is just an appetizer.

Next, Lu Xiuyuan brought out catapults and crossbowmen, launching long-range fire at the city walls to provide cover for the subsequent charge.

"Warriors! Charge!"

Lu Xiuyuan rode high on his warhorse, raised his arms and shouted loudly, his voice was as loud as gold and jade, resounding to the ground.

As soon as he finished speaking, the war drums began to beat and the charge horns resounded through the sky.

"kill!!"

The soldiers roared like mad lions, crossed the moat with murderous intent and rushed towards the city gate.

Lu Xiuyuan first ordered people to set up hundreds of catapults, catapults and stone crossbows around the city gate and put them into operation quickly.

In addition to throwing stones, catapults can also throw other heavy objects such as logs and metals, or wrap ropes, cotton threads, etc. dipped in oil around stones, ignite them, and throw them into the enemy camp to burn and kill the enemy.

The catapult is even more powerful. It uses a large log as its bed and can throw a 300-kg boulder at a target 500 meters away. Its power is truly astonishing.

As soon as the catapults and catapults came out, the rapid firepower immediately inflicted heavy damage on the soldiers defending on the city walls, leaving them with almost no room to poke their heads out.

The enemy did not expect that Lingjiang would suddenly come up with such a powerful heavy weapon, and they had no way to deal with it. The only means of counterattack was to desperately shoot arrows and throw stones, but this was undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

Lu Xiuyuan and his men bombarded Liangcheng day and night, constantly throwing huge rocks and burning objects at the city walls. The soldiers on the city walls suffered heavy casualties and fell one after another.

A day later, the generals in Liangcheng erected large wooden shelters on the city walls to defend against the flying rocks, but it was ineffective. The huge rocks that fell from the sky smashed the city walls and left them covered with scars.

Then, Lu Xiuyuan launched the indestructible siege cones and battering rams. Hundreds of heavy weapons with a force of thousands of pounds were pushed by the soldiers to hit the city gates and walls again and again.

Finally, with the collapse of the city wall, Liangcheng’s last line of defense was completely breached.

The leader in the city still wanted to struggle, and after the city was broken, he led his people to fight back.

Lu Xiuyuan's men were in high spirits, and each of them was brave and fearless, killing with weapons in hand. For a while, the front of Liangcheng city gate was a river of blood and corpses were everywhere.

Only after several generals were captured alive did the rest of the men lay down their weapons and surrender completely.

At this point, the siege finally came to an end, and it took exactly three days!

Liangcheng was recaptured, and the people in the city cheered and lined the streets to welcome Lu Xiuyuan and others to settle in the city.

According to the agreement to recapture Liangcheng, Lu Xiuyuan should have been eager to find Tang Guojing to get the commander's seal, but he was not in a hurry. Instead, he took advantage of the high morale of the army and led his troops to another plundered city and continued the siege!

With the support of the unique heavy weapons and Lu Xiuyuan's skillful use of the army, the second city was soon captured. The enemy generals in the city were killed, the soldiers were captured, and the people of Lingjiang State entered the city to garrison.

At this point, the two cities lost in Tang Guojing's hands were taken back by Lu Xiuyuan.

Tang Guojing and others were all shocked when they received the news.

They never expected that Lu Xiuyuan, who had never led troops before, would be so powerful and capture two cities in succession in the shortest time in history with the least casualties!

The soldiers of the three armies cheered and were greatly encouraged after receiving the victory news. They thought that Lu Xiuyuan was a spoiled relative of the emperor, who came to the battlefield just to find trouble and had no ability to lead the three armies.

But no one expected him to be so strong, and he won two great victories with just one move.

Only Tang Guojing was unwilling to believe it, and even more unwilling to admit that Lu Xiu was far stronger than himself.

He led his troops to search with doubt, but after seeing with his own eyes the singing and dancing in the two recaptured cities and the grand scene of Lu Xiuyuan being supported and loved by the soldiers and the people, he was forced to believe what had happened.

When the bet was made, several generals witnessed it with their own eyes and signed the military order. Even though Tang Guojing was unwilling, he did not dare to go back on his word. He had no choice but to reluctantly hand over the seal of command and retreat to the second line to assist him.

After Lu Xiuyuan got the seal of command, the letters from home and the two unprecedented victories won him a lot of support from the soldiers. He became adept at commanding the three armies with the seal of command.

Next, Lu Xiuyuan rested for half a month, and then with an order, he led a million soldiers and horses to the border of Zhujing Kingdom!

Lu Xiuyuan seemed to have an innate talent in leading troops in battle. He was brave enough to take the lead in killing the enemy and was invincible. He was also strategic enough to use tactics to alienate the enemy, causing constant civil unrest on the enemy's border, which was eventually conquered by him in one fell swoop.

As soon as they entered the border, the soldiers of Lingjiang State were like beasts descending from the mountains. They attacked the city with unstoppable momentum and headed straight for the capital of Zhujing State.

Lu Xiuyuan was like a god of war, conquering cities and seizing territories as if he were in an empty land. He was almost invincible in every battle, and there were countless battles in which he defeated the larger force with the smaller one.

Under the leadership of Lu Xiuyuan, in just three months, Lingjiang State captured nearly one-third of Zhujing State's cities and lands.

At the same time, Lu Xiuyuan's fame also spread throughout the two countries. The Zhujing Kingdom was terrified at the mention of him and regarded him as a living devil; the Lingjiang Kingdom gave him the title of "God of War", praising him with great respect and love.

On this day, Tang Guojing stayed behind to guard the position, while Lu Xiuyuan led his troops to attack a city called "Fuyang" in Zhujing Kingdom.

It is understood that Fuyang City was guarded by only 50,000 soldiers, so he only brought 70,000.

Unexpectedly, when they arrived at Fuyang City, the scene before them left Lu Xiuyuan and others dumbfounded.

The majestic city walls were empty, with no guards, no bows and arrows, and even no flags. The two huge city gates were wide open, and the scene inside the city could be clearly seen.

The city was also empty, with deserted shops and empty stalls. The streets looked as if no one had swept them for a long time, with withered, yellow, and brittle fallen leaves covering the ground.

A gust of wind blew, and the leaves floated up from the ground, flew weakly for a while, and then returned to the ground, looking extremely bleak and desolate.

"What's going on? Where are the people? Where are the guards?" Su Yu exclaimed in disbelief with his eyes wide open!

Lu Xiuyuan was riding on a horse, his brows tightly furrowed, his eagle-like sharp eyes looking around at the city in front of him.

"Marshal, could it be that the people in the city knew they were no match for the enemy and abandoned the city and fled?" Chen Yi speculated.

Lu Xiuyuan shook his head, not knowing why this scene happened.

"That must be the case, Marshal. Let's get into the city quickly and capture Fuyang City without losing a single soldier. Wouldn't that be great?" The soldiers behind him could not help but urge him.

Lu Xiuyuan pursed his thin lips, a little hesitant.

He had seen a strategy called "Empty City Strategy" in the book his wife gave him, which described such a scene.

But he was not sure whether this was an empty city plan. If he retreated, the city would be empty, wouldn't he miss the opportunity? If he entered the city, it would be even worse if there was an ambush inside.

"Send someone into the city to investigate the situation first." Lu Xiuyuan ordered after thinking about it.

A group of soldiers dismounted and trotted into the city.

"Marshal, there are people in the city!" Suddenly, Su Yu pointed in the direction of the city and reported to Lu Xiuyuan.
