Zhao Yun stood tall, with an angular face as calm as usual. He told the whole plan in a neither humble nor overbearing manner. Wang Lei was very surprised after hearing this. He did not expect that Zhao Yun would adopt such a dangerous strategy. Wang Lei agreed with this strategy. . If Zhao Yun¡¯s plan succeeds, it will be easy to capture Lu County. Zhao Yun looked at Wang Lei and said solemnly: ¡°To complete the plan, we need the cooperation of Zhou Mu.¡± Wang Lei said without hesitation: ¡°No problem. I will cooperate fully. ." "Thank you." Zhao Yun stopped talking and turned to leave. He walked to the door of the camp. He paused for a moment. But the next moment, he took another step and left the camp in large strides. Wang Lei looked at Zhao Yun's leaving figure. There was a burst of joy in my heart. Zhao Yun was serving under his command. Wang Lei had full confidence in taking Zhao Yun for his own use. In the past, Zhao Yun worked for Gongsun Zan. He was not trusted and was not reused. However, Wang Lei and Gongsun Zan were different. Wang Lei gave Zhao Yun enough Wang Lei believes that there will definitely be comparison in Zhao Yun's heart. What Wang Lei needs to do is to gradually make Zhao Yun recognize the Jizhou Army and let Zhao Yun regard him as a member of the Jizhou Army. Early in the morning on the same day, the sound of war drums suddenly sounded. The majestic sound broke the tranquility of the morning light. As the war drums echoed in the sky, Wang Lei mobilized his troops and generals. He led the Jizhou Army and slowly approached the county seat of Lu County. On top of the city, Xu Rong , Gan De, Dai Li and others were ready. Gan De had a puzzled look in his eyes and said: "General, we have captured Bingzhou and collected no less than 50,000 Bingzhou troops. Plus the direct troops under the general's command. With our current strength The power he has is not weaker than Wang Lei. Why defend?" Xu Rong said: "You can choose a defensive strategy. Why should we adopt a frontal attack? It is true that the previous constant harassment has made the morale of the Jizhou army more or less. Affected. But Wang Lei had just arrived in Lu County. The Jizhou Army's troops were still strong and their morale was still high. Counterattacking at this time would obviously mean killing one thousand enemies and damaging eight hundred. When Wang Lei's attack on the city was frustrated, he was in a dilemma. Go out to fight and fight." Zheng Gong, Dai Li and others hesitated to speak, but Xu Rong stopped him with his eyes. Xu Rong flicked his sleeves and ordered: "Send the order. Let the soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion cheer up and go all out. ." The so-called vanguard battalion is not the direct army under Xu Rong's command. It is the soldiers gathered after Xu Rong entered Bingzhou. Gan De, Zheng Gong and others answered loudly. They returned to their respective positions one by one to prepare to meet the Jizhou army. The sound of war drums . became more and more high-pitched and passionate. The sound of the horn echoed in the air. The sky above the county seat of Lu County was filled with the smell of war and smoke. It didn't take long. The Jizhou army arrived outside the city. "Archers. Prepare." A loud voice shouted. The archers quickly came to the front. "Room." After a brief pause, there was another loud shout. At the same time, accompanied by the shaking of the flag, the bow and arrow on the bow string came out. The bow string vibrated buzzingly. Echoed in the air, forming a unique melody. Xu Rong saw this scene, his eyes unchanged, and ordered the soldiers to raise their shields to resist. A dense rain of arrows passed through the sky and fell on the city. "Duh. Duh" Bow and arrow Shooting on the shield, the sound of impact came one after another. Under the cover of bows and arrows, the vanguard of the Jizhou Army began to charge. The siege weapons such as ladders, rams, and catapults kept coming closer to the city wall. The sound of killing morale. Attack the city. The momentum was high and overwhelming. The soldiers of the Jizhou Army came to the city. At this time, the siege vehicles had begun to move. They kept hitting the city gate, making the city gate clang. The city gate shook. The defenders on the city used Use wood, boulders, etc. to defend and block the attack of the Jizhou army. The ladder was close to the city wall and was quickly installed. As the soldiers continued to pull the rope, the main ladder of the ladder continued to rise. In the end, it was even with the city wall. The soldiers walked along the ladder. Climbing up the ladder, a thick wooden plank was erected directly on the main ladder. "Kill. Take Lu County." The soldiers roared and ran along the wooden plank toward the city. Each Jizhou Army soldier kept climbing and running. Move forward quickly. Gander held a knife and shouted: "Block it. Block it for me." His eyes were fierce. He kept slashing with the knife to block the soldiers rushing up from the ladder. However, there was a ladder outside the city. One after another, more and more Jizhou soldiers were killed on the city. The two sides fought hand to hand on the city, and the fighting became more and more fierce. Xu Rong personally commanded, but he was not panic at all and was extremely calm. Zheng Gong said: "General. More and more Jizhou soldiers are attacking the city. It is difficult to block the attack just by relying on the collected soldiers. Please give the general an order to dispatch the troops stationed under the city to fight." When there is a large army." Zheng Gong had no choice but to continue to defend. Wang Lei observed the battle on the city outside the city. When he saw the scene on the city, his eyes narrowed, and there was a hint of doubt in his eyes. Although the battle was fierce this time, the battle was fierce. From the beginning, the Jizhou army went very smoothly and easily climbed up the city wall. On the other hand, Xu Rong's soldiers continued to resist, as if they were fighting stubbornly. Their combat effectiveness was not strong. Jushou said excitedly: "Lord, in this battle, we We are about to win." In fact, Jushou had also considered the situation of attacking the city before. He thought that it would take a lot of effort to defeat Xu Rong. However, the defensive force on the city was very weak. Jushou shook his head in his heart. Xu Rong was just a waste of time. The war continued. More and more Jizhou troops came to the city. Xu Rong still did not dispatch the rest of the soldiers. He personally commanded the army to resist. Under Xu Rong's command, the soldiers who were defending the city were in an unfavorable situation. They counterattacked several times, blocking the Jizhou Army's onslaught, and repelling the Jizhou Army again and again. The fighting started in the early morning and lasted until evening. There was still no winner. When Jushou, Shenpei and others saw this, they did not dare to fight again. He underestimated Xu Rong. He didn't expect Xu Rong to be able to block the attack. "Ming Jin withdraws the troops." As night approached, Wang Lei gave the order to withdraw the troops. The Jizhou army retreated slowly. Xu Rong stood on the city. He breathed a long sigh of relief. After taking a breath, his eyes turned and landed on Gan De, Dai Li, Zheng Gong and You Yong. He saw the four of them sitting directly on the cold corpse, breathing heavily. With a straight face, he scolded in a deep voice: "Still. This is not the time to relax completely. Send the order. The soldiers rest while being careful to prevent the enemy from attacking the city again." "No." Gander nodded and immediately sent the order. The soldiers guarding the city were given the order, although they were too tired to move. But he had to obey the order. Xu Rong glanced at the soldiers on the tower and felt happy in his heart. If the soldiers recruited before had no sharp edges, then these soldiers who had experienced bloody battles could sharpen the sharp edges. How many soldiers would die in this battle. Xu Rong didn't care about it. What Xu Rong cared about was the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. After bloody battles, the soldiers got used to fighting, and only then could the combat effectiveness be further improved.
