Chapter 460： A big fire!

There are only a few thousand troops in the city of Lu Zheng, and the new army in the city defense battalion is less than 10,000. Among them, there is only one battalion of cavalry, 1,000 people.

The opponent is more than 30,000 people, the county seat is not big, and the city wall is not as high as the high wall of the state capital. What is more important is that the Turkic soldiers are all tigers and wolves, and they are all extremely brave.

This kind of force is impossible to defend the city. Lu Zheng can hold on for a few days, firstly because his opponent underestimates the enemy, and secondly because he is well prepared, organized properly, and used reasonable tactics.

However, there are always iron rules in war. The opponent will not always underestimate the enemy. With the consumption of troops, Lu Zheng cannot guarantee that all links will never be missed.

And this kind of worry is not the only one for him. Once too many people are worried, it may affect morale, make the already difficult situation worse, and finally collapse completely...

The pressure is all on Lu Zheng. He has more experience than others in his entire life, except that he is completely blank in cold weapon warfare. He has only learned horse riding for a winter, and the time to learn how to use soldiers is even shorter.

In such a short period of time, letting him lead the weak forces to fight with tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry, obviously is to drive the ducks to the shelves...

The War of Elm is well known in the northwest, but they can’t wait to save the soldiers. In Song Naifeng’s handsome tent, generals from all walks of life gathered to discuss matters, and Song Wenhua offered advice:

"General, He Kuotai is desperate this time. It has to be in the Yumu County. With his 30,000 horses, he can't stop the Elm. Even if we go to the rescue as soon as possible, we can't have time. Instead of that, we might as well go straight. Attacking north, forcing him to return to aid..."

"The second son is reasonable, but at this time the third son has already invaded the Hulan grassland, and Lien Chan has succeeded in succession. At this time, we rushed to send troops to the north, will there be any suspicion of strong merit?

With one word from you and one word from me in the account, the conclusion is that nothing can be done, just sit back and watch the tiger fight. This kind of waiting was three days, and after three days, the scout came to report that Yumu County was still there, but He Kuotai seemed to be angry, and the scene was a bit ugly.

The news came, and there was an uproar. Song Naifeng continued to call on people to discuss matters. This time he couldn't stand it anymore and immediately ordered people to go to rescue. However, the reinforcements around Yumu County looked forward to Song Wenjie and Song Wenhua's horses. They went to the rescue and only looked from a distance. Then, he hesitated, the entire northwest is staring at the small town of Yumu County!

"He Kuo is so old that I can't take a single Yumu County down. It's too unbearable!" Song Wenhua was very upset and couldn't let out a breath of malaise. He was worried about it!

"The second son, the guardian's name is Lu Zheng, who is the brother of the third son, and is also the magistrate of Yumu County. This person has an extraordinary background. It is said that he was born in the Jiangnan power sect and met the emperor in the capital.

The person with the third son's eyes above the top can look at him, which is enough to show that this person is extraordinary! "

Song Wenhua's mouth turned slightly and said, "So what? It's just an idiot. The third child took advantage of him and used him as cannon fodder, cruel!

But the third one counts everything. He thought about it. Once the elm fell, where would he go? I'm afraid I will starve to death on the grassland and won't be able to return, haha..."

Song Wenhua said that, with a war horse under his hips, he couldn't wait to see the situation of the war.

Yumu’s was extremely difficult. Many times the city defense was broken. At the critical moment, Liusong’s city defense battalion played a big role. Although this battalion is a new battalion, the morale is very high. Lu Zheng’s training method for them is unusual. With more than a thousand people, he can do what he can do as his arm, the county wall is not wide, on the contrary, the more than one thousand people in the city defense camp can exert the greatest effect.

However, since the opponent is fierce, this kind of defense is only...

"My son, what should I do now?" The boy lowered his voice.

Lu Zheng squinted his eyes into the distance, and said quietly, "Do you think Song Wensong will come back?"

The boy was stunned, his face turned a little ugly. Song Wensong abandoned Yumu County. It is very possible that he regarded Lu Zheng as an abandoned son. He used Hekuo's mind to break his foundation and put it to the death.

It is very possible that Song Wensong will never come back at all, and Lu Zheng has completely become cannon fodder. In fact, the boy has already thought about this problem, but he has not been able to speak very much, worrying that Lu Zheng will be injured.

Since Yangzhou, Lu Zheng has never suffered a loss. He has been fooled. After arriving in the northwest, he is not good at the army after all. After Song Wensong's calculations, he may never have a second chance after failing this time!

Lu Zheng laughed and said: "Boy, don't be so nervous, I just ask casually! I'm sure Song Wensong will come back, you pass my order, saying that Song Wensong's reinforcements are here, and you can rush to the outside of Elm City the day after tomorrow. ."

The boy looked straight and said: "Yes, son! Now for us, we have to die and live. We have to unite the people and soldiers of the city and let everyone work together..."

Lu Zheng smiled again, shook his head and said, "Let Ximen retreat and let the thieves go the other way..."

"Ah..." The boy's face changed drastically, and he looked up at Lu Zheng and said: "The son... the son... this... this makes Simon retreat. Once he loses control, then... that... that can..."

Lu Zheng snorted coldly, and said, "Don't you just let it die and live there? What are you afraid of? Ximen, we made such a deep arrangement, and success or failure depends on this..."

The boy took a long sigh of relief and walked away. He was Lu Zheng's teacher when he learned the art of war, but now, Lu Zheng completely dominates Yumu's military affairs, and the boy can't get involved.

Many things require talent. Talking about soldiers on paper is completely different from confronting two armies on paper. Boys are talking about soldiers on paper, while Lu Zheng is talented and can apply what he has learned.

He Kuo Tai was really cruel, the number of shield cars outside increased from three to five, and now there are thirty. The number of aerial ladders has gone from fifty to two hundred. Tens of thousands of soldiers surrounded the county as dense as ants.

Lu Zheng is still inexperienced after all. In addition, he is also limited by the equipment of the infantry under his hand. The arrows and crossbows have been exhausted, and it is difficult to pose a threat to the enemy at a long distance. Tens of thousands of soldiers surrounded the attack from round to round. At stake!

At this time, both sides were red eyes. The attacking party suffered heavy losses, but He Kuo too could not care about the loss. He had to take down the elm and do it at all costs, otherwise he would have no gain this time. Back to the grassland.

He was roaring. He led the army to the Elm City and issued a strict order that Xu Jin was not allowed to retreat, but anyone who retreated would be killed...

"Breaked, breached! Ximen breached!" Suddenly, the voices of the West Gate burst, and you can see from a distance that the direction of the West Gate finally attacked. Tai He Kuo saw the shadow of the flag on the tower. He shouted and bends his hand. Raising the knife, he roared: "Kill it, kill it from Simon!"

The horn sounded, countless flags were waved, the gate of the west gate was opened, the cavalry mounted one after another, and the horseshoe lifted up dust in the wasteland.

Got in, and finally went in! He Kuo was so excited that his hands were trembling. He swears that he will smash the body of the Dakang dog officer named Lu who is guarding the city, and chop off his head to make a wine glass.

Not only Hekuo was too excited, but all the soldiers were excited. Khan said that the brothers who first broke into the city received great rewards, not only for the silver, cattle and sheep, but also for the beautiful women. After entering the city, the beautiful women who were captured let them first. Enjoy it!

The soldiers were crazy and rushed in. It was twilight and the sky was getting dark. They rushed in and ran more and more wrong, because there was no enemy in front, and the whole area was dark, as if they had entered early. In the dark.

The alert veterans came back to their senses. They looked up and found that this is where the city is. There are two or three feet of earth on all sides. They rushed in all the way from the gate, hundreds of meters full of earth walls. , This earth wall must be more than three feet wide, three feet high, and more than one hundred meters long. This...

"No, fraud! The thief is cunning!" someone couldn't help but shouted. But at this time, no one listened to their voices. There were cavalry soldiers from the gate of the city behind. The people in front pushed the people behind. The crowd was like a sea, all of them squeezed in...

"Huh, huh..." Suddenly hearing the sound of the horn, the Turkic soldiers felt a sudden pouring rain in the sky. For a moment, the heavy rain was like a note...

"It's not rain, it's not good, it's kerosene, it's kerosene, rewind, rewind!"

Someone screamed heartbreakingly, and backed desperately. At this moment, countless torches in the sky were thrown in. In an instant, this huge trap spread into a sea of ​​fire.

Breaking through the West City Gate is not a passage to victory, but a road to hell. The passage is more than 100 meters long and more than three feet wide. In just such a short time, thousands of people were squeezed in, and these thousands of people were all burned in by fire. Light it up, and the screaming screams turned this place into a purgatory on earth!

And the soldiers behind were still in the dark, and they were still desperately fighting inward. Many people couldn't hold back their momentum, and they were plunged into the sea of ​​fire. The sky was dyed red by the fire, and thick black smoke rose up. The sky made the Turkic soldiers who saw this side overjoyed, thinking that they were setting the city on fire after breaking through the city!

The soldiers at the back continued to flock to the west gate, the scene was chaotic, the soldiers in front couldn't get in, the cavalry behind couldn't stand it, and countless people were crowded and trampled.

At this time, the kerosene gradually burned out, and the Bingyong behind was wrapped up and trampled on the scorched corpse again and continued to rush in, the same scene was staged again tragically.

Finally, the soldiers outside became more and more crowded. They heard the miserable movement inside and realized that they were not good, but thousands of lives had been lost. The fear in everyone's heart grew. The joy that had just risen before was instantly shattered, and morale couldn't help. Big setback!

Khan Hekuota, who rushed over from behind, saw the black soldiers ran out frantically from the wall, and only heard them shout: "Fire, fire... burned to death, all burned to death..."

"Ah..." He Kuo Tairu was struck by lightning, his eye canthus cracked, and he was so angry that he turned directly off the horse... a pus was spit out from his mouth...
