There were only a few thousand troops in Lu Zheng's city, and there were less than 10,000 new troops in the city defense camp. Among them, there was only one battalion of cavalry and one thousand people.

The opponents were more than 30,000 people, the county town was not big, and the city walls were not as good as the high walls of the prefecture. More importantly, the Turkic soldiers were all tigers and wolves, and they were all extremely brave.

Such troops are simply impossible to defend the city. Lu Zheng can hold on for a few days, first because his opponent's underestimation of the enemy, second because he is well prepared, well organized, and reasonably used tactics.

However, there are always iron laws in war, and the opponent will not underestimate the enemy forever. With the consumption of troops, Lu Zheng cannot guarantee that there will never be any omissions in all links.

And he is not the only one who is worried about this. Once too many people are worried, it may affect morale, make the already difficult situation worse, and eventually completely collapse...

All the pressure is on Lu Zheng. He has more experience than others in his life, but he is completely blank in combat with cold weapons. He only learned riding for a winter, and he only learned to use troops in a combat formation for a shorter time.

In such a short time, he was allowed to lead weak troops to fight tens of thousands of Turkic cavalry, which was obviously a matter of driving the ducks to put them on the shelves...

The Battle of Elm, everyone in the northwest knew about it, but they could not wait for the rescue. In Song Naifeng's tent, generals gathered to discuss matters, and Song Wenhua offered advice:

"General, Mrs. He Kuo is taking a gamble this time and insisting on those Yumu counties. With his 30,000 troops to take Yumu, it is impossible to stop us. Even if we go to rescue as soon as possible, it is too late. Instead of doing so, we might as well attack northwards and force him to return to the rescue..."

"The second young master is right, but at this time the third young master has already attacked the Hulan grassland and won consecutive victories. At this time, we rashly sent troops northward. Will there be suspicion of strong achievements?"

The conclusion you said and I said in the account was that you could not do anything, just watch the changes and watch the tiger fight. This would take three days, and after three days, the scout came to report that Yumu County was still there, but the wife of Hekuo seemed to be angry and the scene was a bit ugly.

The news came, and there was an uproar. Song Naifeng continued to summon 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 were following Song Wenjie and Song Wenhua's heads. They went to rescue and only watched from a distance, wandering forward. The entire northwest was staring at the small Yumu County town!

"Mrs. Hekuo is really old. Even Yumu County can't be taken down. It's really unbearable!" Song Wenhua was very upset and couldn't breathe a sigh of anger. He was worried!

"The second young master, the person who guarded the city, was named Lu Zheng, a sworn brother of the third young master, and was also the magistrate of Yumu County. This person has an extraordinary origin and is said to be from the Jiangnan family and has met the emperor in the capital.

The third young master's eyes are above the top, and being able to like him is enough to show that this person is extraordinary!"

Song Wenhua's lips curled up slightly and said, "So what? It's just a fool. The third brother used him and treated him as cannon fodder. He's cruel!

But the third brother has calculated it, and he has thought about it. Once the elm is lost, where will he go? I'm afraid he will starve to death and will not come back on the grassland, haha..."

When Song Wenhua said this, he could not wait to see the situation of the war when he clamped the war horse under his crotch.

The extremely difficult situation of Yumu was that the city defense was about to be broken many times. At the critical moment, Liu Song's city defense battalion played a big role. Although this battalion was a newly-organized battalion, its morale was very high. Lu Zheng used an unusual training method for them. He could do more than a thousand people like his arm. The area of ​​the county wall was not wide, but instead, more than a thousand people in the city defense battalion could play the greatest role.

However, since the opponent is ruthless, such defense is only...

"Young Master, what should I do now?" the boy lowered his voice.

Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes and stared at the distance, and said quietly: "Do you think Song Wensong will come back?"

The boy was stunned for a moment, his face became a little ugly. It is very likely that Song Wensong abandoned Yumu County because he regarded Lu Zheng as an abandoned son. He used the idea of ​​Hekuo's decision to cut off his foundation and put it to death before he was born.

It is very likely that Song Wensong will not come back at all, and Lu Zheng has completely become cannon fodder. In fact, the boy has already thought of this problem, but he has always been unable to speak up, and he is worried that Lu Zheng will be very injured.

Since Yangzhou, Lu Zheng has never suffered a loss or been deceived. After arriving in the Northwest, he was not good at the ranks after all. After being beaten by Song Wensong, he may never have a second chance to fail this time!

Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Boy, don't be so nervous. I just ask casually! I'm sure Song Wensong will definitely come back. You will pass on my order and say that Song Wensong's reinforcements will arrive and you can rush outside Yumu City the day after tomorrow."

The boy looked upright and said, "Yes, young master! Now we have to put it to death and live a life of life. We must unite the people and soldiers in the city, so that everyone can work together..."

Lu Zheng smiled again and shook his head and said, "Let Ximen retreat and release the bandits in one way..."

"Ah..." The boy's face changed drastically, he looked up at Lu Zheng and said, "Young Master... This... This makes Ximen retreat. Once he loses control, then... that... that's... that..."

Lu Zheng snorted coldly and said, "Aren't you putting it to death before you die? What are you afraid of? Ximen, we made such a deep arrangement, success or failure will be here..."

The boy breathed a long sigh and took the order away. He was Lu Zheng's teacher when he was learning military tactics, but now, Lu Zheng has completely taken over the military affairs of Yumu, and the boy cannot get involved at all.

Many things require talent. Talking about war on paper and confronting two armies on battle are completely different. Boys talk about war on paper, while Lu Zheng has outstanding talent and can apply what he has learned and learn from others!

Mrs. Hekuo was really angry. The shield cars outside increased from three to five, and now there were thirty. The cloud ladders have now reached two hundred, and tens of thousands of soldiers surrounded the county magistrate as dense as ants.

After all, Lu Zheng lacked experience. In addition, he was also limited by the equipment of the infantry under his command. The crossbows had been exhausted and it was difficult to pose a threat to the enemy at a long range. Tens of thousands of soldiers surrounded one round after another, and all four gates were in danger!

At this time, both sides were red-eyed. The attacking side suffered heavy losses, but Mrs. Hekuo no longer cared about the losses. He had to take down the elm and do this at all costs, otherwise he would not be able to return to the grassland this time.

He was roaring, and he personally led his army to come down from Yumu City and issued a strict order, allowing him to advance but not retreat, and anyone who retreated would be killed...

"Break through, break through! Ximen broke through!" Suddenly, the sound of people became louder, and you could see that the direction of Ximen finally attacked from afar. Mrs. Hekuo saw the shadow of the flags on the city tower. He shouted loudly, raised the scimitar in his hand, and shouted: "Kill here, kill from Ximen!"

The sound of trumpets sounded, countless flags were waving, the city gate of the west gate had already opened, the cavalrymen were getting on their horses, and the horse's hooves brought dust all over the sky in the wasteland.

After attacking, he finally attacked! Mrs. Hekuo was so excited that he was trembling with his hands. He swore that he would tear the dog official named Lu, who was guarding the city, to pieces the body and chop off his head to make it into a wine glass.

Not only was the rich wife excited, but all the soldiers were excited. The Khan said that the brothers who first attacked the city had a heavy reward, not only rewarding silver, cows and sheep, but also beautiful women. After entering the city, they were asked to enjoy the beautiful women they captured first!

The soldiers were all crazy and rushed in. It was dusk and the sky was getting darker. They rushed in and ran worse and worse because there was no enemy ahead, and they were all dark, as if they had entered the night ahead.

The smart veteran came to his senses. They looked up and found that this was not a city. There were earth walls two or three meters high on all sides. They rushed in from the gate, which were a hundred meters wide, all of which were like this. The earth wall must be more than three meters wide, more than one hundred meters high, more than one hundred meters long. This...

"No, there's a fraud! The thief was cunning!" Someone couldn't help but shout. But at this time, no one heard their voices. There were cavalrymen behind him coming from the city gate. The people in front pushed the people behind, and the crowds were like a sea, all of them squeezed in...

"Hu, Hu..." Suddenly, he heard the sound of a trumpet, and the Turkic soldiers felt that it suddenly rained heavily in the sky. In an instant, heavy rain was like a flood...

"It's not rain, it's bad, it's tincture, it's tincture, it's tincture, it's tincture, it's tincture, it's tincture!"

Someone roared heart-wrenchingly and retreated desperately. At this time, countless torches in the sky were thrown in. In an instant, a sea of ​​fire spread into the huge trap.

Breaking through the West City Gate is not a victory passage, but a road to hell. The passage is more than 100 meters long and more than three meters wide. In just a short while, thousands of people were squeezed in, and these thousands were ignited by tinder oil. The shrill screams turned this place into a purgatory on earth!

The soldiers behind were still in the dark and were still trying hard to break in. Many people could not stop the momentum and even plunged into the sea of ​​fire. The sky was dyed red by the flames, and thick black smoke rose into the sky, making the Turkic soldiers who saw this place from afar and were overjoyed, thinking that they were setting fire to the city after breaking through the city!

The soldiers behind continued to rush to the west gate, and the scene was chaotic. The soldiers in front could not enter, the cavalry behind could not bear it, and countless people were crowded and trampled on.

At this time, the turbid oil was gradually burned out, and the soldiers behind him were forced to step on the charred body again and rushed in. The same scene was once again tragic.

Finally, the soldiers outside were crowded more and more. They heard the miserable movement inside and realized that something was wrong. However, the lives of thousands of robes were lost. Everyone's inner fear grew. The joy that had just risen before was instantly broken, and their morale was frustrated!

Mrs. Khan Hekuo, who rushed over from behind, saw a black-clad soldier running out of the city wall like crazy, and they heard them shouting: "Fire, fire...it's burned, it's burned all..."
