Chapter 71 Confidence
"Wow..."
As the morning sun rose, the desolate and majestic horn sounded almost simultaneously over Jiangling and Huanjun's camp.
In Jiangling City, a team of soldiers on duty came to their posts to replace the brothers who were on duty last night.
The Huan army camp opposite is also moving. Looking from afar, the Huan army soldiers are like ants, gathering quickly in one direction with the sound of the horn.
The distance of 30 miles is not very far. Standing on the wall, you can faintly see the situation of Huan's camp.
Lu Qiang got up early, which has become a habit for him, not to mention that he is now under the city. Before others came out, he had brought several of He Guangsheng's own soldiers to the city wall.
Last night, Zhao Lunwen was on duty. At this moment, he was by Lu Qiang's side and observed the Huanjun camp in the distance with Lu Qiang.
With a victory at the bottom, the soldiers were much more relaxed, especially after seeing Lu Qiang's relaxed expression, there was no fear in their hearts.
There are 7,000 regular soldiers guarding the city and nearly 20,000 people, many of whom volunteer to help defend the city.
After the Acropolis was destroyed, his wife and children were killed by Huan Jun**. This is the original words on the government notice.
Jiangling is the seat of Jingzhou. The wall is high, and the arrow tower, tower, watchtower and so on should be complete. A wide moat outside the city winding by. Under normal circumstances, you have to put down the suspension bridge when entering the city. Now it is wartime, and the suspension bridge has been pulled up high, so it is not so easy to break through.
In fact, Lu Qiang has always been worried about the determination of the army and the people in the city to resist the enemy, but after countless fleeing people poured into Jiangling and telling the people of Huan Jun's evil deeds all the way to Jiangling, his worry seems unnecessary. Who wants his family to be destroyed! And those who have been given the land and property of the Huan family are also more afraid of being retaliated by the Huan family.
So now the people in the city can be said to be united. Although there are not many troops, it is still no problem to rely on the strong city to block the Huan army outside the city.
It was impossible for 30,000 horses to completely surround Jiangling. Huan Shisheng obviously thought of this, so he did not divide his troops, but left 10,000 horses to guard the camp after the soldiers had breakfast. He personally led 20,000 troops to kill Jiangling.
Huan Wei called himself the king of Chu, but he did not crown the other Huan family. This Huan Shisheng was only appointed as a general by him.
Huan Shisheng is different from Huan Wei. Although he did not pay attention to the strong Jiangling people, the march was very careful. During the march, they searched within 30 miles and reported the situation to him at any time.
Lu Qiang had just entered the city, and he also received Huan Wei's order.
Jiangling people and horses dared to take the initiative to attack, which was obviously not expected by Huan Shisheng, especially after understanding the causes and consequences of Huan's great defeat, he became more careful.
For this reason, he also sent a patrol force last night to avoid being taken advantage of by Lu Qiang.
Lu Qiang stood on the wall and looked at the approaching Huan army and said to Zhao Lunwen without looking back: "What does General Zhao think of this man and horse?"
Zhao Lunwen has been fighting for a long time, but it is the first time for him to lead an army to fight. He is both excited and expectant.
Listen to Lu Qiang's question, a sneer appeared on his resolute face: "The Huan army is a disaster, and there is no military discipline at all. Such people and horses may be okay to fight a good fight. My subordinates think that when their spirit is dispersed, they will be broken in one fell swoop>
At this time, Wang Zhenvil, who rushed over quickly, also said, "In the battle of breaking the city, it must have ten times the strength of the defenders, and at the same time, it also needs to be ordered to be strict and the soldiers will use their lives. On the other hand, Huan Jun was defeated by the adult first, and at the same time, he was not calm inside. If he wanted to break my Jiangling, I'm afraid he was daydreaming!"
Lu Qiang nodded. With few soldiers, it is impossible for them to go out and fight with the Huan army. However, as long as Zhao Lunwen said, as they block their attack and at the same time, someone in the rear keeps harassing them. The longer they are, the more powerful they are to their side. Maybe they can really defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.
At this time, the Huan army had come to the city and set up a position, but did not immediately launch an attack, but sent two people to run to the moat.
"Oh! Listen, the people in the city, our general has an order, as long as you surrender and ensure that Qiu will not commit any crime. Otherwise, on the day of breaking the city, chickens and dogs will not stay"
Lu Qiang saw this meaningless persuasion for the first time, but after listening to it, he couldn't help laughing. What is Huan Shisheng going to do? Do you want to play psychological warfare with me?
The loud Huan army soldier was very smart and strangled the war horse beyond the range of the bow and arrow, so that no matter how he scolded him, the people in the city would not want to hurt him. However, this guy's voice is indeed very loud, and his shouts can still be clearly heard across a moat.
Ordinary soldiers can't pull such a strong bow. If they use crossbows, it is a waste, and they may not shoot accurately. Therefore, after this persuasion soldier shouted, there was no movement in the city.
The Huan soldiers followed Huan Shisheng's order and then shouted again.
Seeing this guy endlessly, Lu Qiang smiled coldly and said without looking back: "Take my bow"
The overlord bow has always been carried by his own soldiers, and this bow has been tried by his own soldiers in turn, but no one can pull it away. Someone once saw Lu Qiang use this bow when Lu Qiang shot Liu Yunshuai's flag, but more people have never seen it, including Zhao Lunwen and others.
In fact, few people know the origin of this divine bow.
At this time, Tao Yuanming, Zhou Kui and others had come to the city. Even Chen Moyu, who had just reported, followed the crowd with a group of generals, obviously wanting to see the scene of the confrontation between the two armies.
Lu Qiang took the overlord's bow from his own soldiers and did not say anything. He jumped up the city strides, opened his bow and arrows, aiming at the Huan army soldiers under the city who were still pulling their broken gongs to persuade him to surrender.
The sun had just jumped out of the horizon, and thousands of glow filled the sky and the earth. At this time, a very tall figure stood at the head of the city, with a very cool shape. Not far behind him was the unique black panther battle flag, which immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
The soldier who shouted no longer shouted. He looked at the person who aimed at him with some surprise. There was only one thought in his mind. Isn't there something wrong with this guy? Why did you stand at the head of the city with a broken bow? Do you scare me? Can you shoot me so far?
In fact, Lu Qiang's move is not to be arrogant, but more to improve his morale. After experiencing so many things, his cool heart has faded early.
In the "squeaky" cold voice, the overlord's bow was pulled like a full moon, and then after hearing a "buzzing" sound, he saw a black line that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye shot at the Huan soldiers.
After thinking about it, I understand that Guoquan's people may arrive before they leave the city, and at this moment, the gate has been closed, and he is locked in the city.
meditated for a moment and asked He Guangsheng to bring the people, and at the same time sent someone to find the shopkeeper of the Flying Crane Tower.
Luqiang has been busy dealing with Huan's great army these days, but he forgot that the shopkeeper of Feihelou turned out to be the eyeliner of the Huan family in Jiangling, but after such a big event, this guy actually didn't send anything useful to him. Does he still have any illusions about the Huan family?
