Chapter 92
Lu Chen's army had strict requirements during training.
In addition to the differences between cavalry, there are no crossbowmen or spearmen among all the infantry soldiers. The soldiers raised their long halberds and arranged square formations, which is the real infantry. When they picked up the crossbows, they can also release the arrow formation!
The Feng Army's siege was not like the barbarian army. It launched a charge of the entire army as soon as it came up and piled up people's lives.
A hundred thousand troops were approaching the city. First, dozens of stone throwers threw stone bombs indiscriminately. When the city was smashed to a shaky and filled with potholes, the next time was the coverage of the arrow formation...
In the eyes of Lu Chen, a modern man, he deeply understood how powerful the arrow formation was in the ancient cold weapon battlefield.
In his philosophy, no training for soldiers was as good as ever before. This time he personally led a 100,000 army out of the customs. Although his main purpose was to defeat the barbarians, it was also to polish the 50,000 county troops among them!
Tens of thousands of people shot their bows in a volley. The size of the arrow formation and the coverage of the arrow rain were so wide that it was like a huge black cloud pressing towards the city gate.
The sharpness of the Fengjun Arrow Formation is something that the barbarians have never seen before!
Before the siege was carried out, many places had collapsed on the Turkish border city gate, and the barbarian army was also shot and killed and injured by rounds of arrow formations!
Next, Lu Chen's sword was unsheathed, and with a command, the war drum in the Fengjun camp was immediately knocked like a blown bean!
Beating drums to advance is an unchanging military order in the Central Plains.
This is a battle without any suspense. On the Feng Army, there are all large siege equipment and countless arrow branches. On the Tus, its city defense is not the brick and stone structure of Feng Kingdom at all, and it has been hit by the previous stone thrower without any defensive advantage.
As the 100,000 troops broke through the city, the territory of Tusi finally suffered the first truly large-scale bloody massacre!
Especially the soldiers of the border soldiers, there is no need to say much about the hatred of the barbarians. After entering the city, they were like evil ghosts, killing everyone, chopping everyone, burning, killing and looting! For a moment, ghosts and wolves howling in the Tus border city, and shrill screams everywhere...
The soldiers needed to vent their hatred in their hearts. Lu Chen did not stop these things. After the bloody washing of the Tusso border, the Feng Jun burned them clean with a fire.
Then, Lu Chen led his army to several cities again.
At this time, a large-scale panic occurred in Tuss, and the king finally couldn't sit still. After a fierce discussion in the parliament, Tuss decided to send envoys to ask for peace from Lu Chen.
This is very interesting, because, in theory, Tusi sent envoys to seek peace in this kind of negotiation between countries, just like last time, to send envoys to Fengdu to meet King Feng, but Tusi sent envoys to meet Lu Chen.
Obviously, in Tusi's eyes, it was not the Feng Kingdom court, but Lu Chen's army that made them feel scared and feared!
When the Tusi envoy brought the ceremonial guard to the camp where the Feng Army was stationed, Lu Chen invited him into the military camp and set up a temporary schoolyard. He deliberately met him while performing troops in the schoolyard.
On the school ground, the Feng Army soldiers were all carefully selected elite soldiers, with agile and neat army, and full of murderous aura!
Lu Chen took the Tusi envoy to inspect the school ground. When he passed by rows of soldiers, he suddenly drew out his sword. With his actions, the soldiers below all smashed the ground with their guns and halberds, shouting:
"Wind! Wind! Strong wind-"
The shaking shouts scared the Tusi messenger to a pale face. Seeing this, Lu Chen intended to show off his military power and asked him:
"Have the messenger ever seen such a mighty army?"
"Your swords and guns are bright and powerful, and you have never seen such a brave army..." The Tusi messenger said, wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.
"Haha--" Lu Chen smiled with his back when he heard this. After shocking, he invited the Tusi envoy into his central army tent to hold a banquet, but did not rush to ask about his purpose.
But he was not in a hurry, but the Tusi envoy could not sit still. After drinking two glasses of wine, the Tusi envoy reported his intention and said, "General Lu, you have led a large army to attack my Tusi, and now you have five or six cities in my Tusi..."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Chen pretended to be angry and smashed the wine glass heavily on the table, and angrily shouted: "What? When you led your army to attack my Fengdi, why didn't you think that today would be there? Humph! Is it okay that you only allow your Fengdi to invade my Fengdi, and you don't allow your Fengdi to break into the Tudi!?"
"No, no, General Lu misunderstood. I don't mean this." Seeing this, the Tusi envoy shook his hand and said, "I came here this time to discuss peace with the general. I hope the general can think about the soldiers and civilians of the two countries and stop this war..."
"Oh? Conduct peace?" Lu Chen's anger slightly diminished, and he asked in a pretentious manner: "How to discuss peace, please tell me. If you can't speak, please go home quickly to prepare for the war!"
In fact, Lu Chen led his army into the barbarian war this time to take the initiative to come and ask for peace. It can be said that after fighting for so many days, he was waiting for today!
But in front of the Tusi messenger, his attitude was deliberately so tough. When his messenger heard this, he couldn't help but grin and said tentatively: "General Lu, how can your army be willing to withdraw? Please tell me the relevant conditions. As long as it is not too much, Tusi will definitely satisfy it with all his strength."
When Lu Chen heard this, he thought about it in his heart, and then said straight to the point:
"If you want to reach a peace agreement, Tus must take the following actions! First, given the huge losses caused by Tus's past plunder of wind and land, you must compensate us 200,000 taels of gold and 10 million taels of silver!"
"Secondly, Tus must release all the wind slaves that had been plundered in the past. These two points are indispensable, otherwise, they will be seen on the battlefield!"
Lu Chen said his two conditions in an undeniable tone. After hearing this, the Tusi messenger was stunned.
Releasing the Fengren slaves is nothing, and compensating the Feng Kingdom for losses is also under Tus' consideration. What the Tus messenger did not expect was that Lu Chen actually asked for such a huge compensation as soon as he opened his mouth, which was like a lion talking!
"This... 200,000 taels of gold... 10 million taels of silver... Isn't it a bit too much? General Lu, such a huge amount of compensation, I can't make good decisions..." The Tusi messenger said with a bitter face.
"Since you can't make the decision, please come back!" Lu Chen ignored this. Now his army has successfully advanced into Tusi. If he doesn't take the opportunity to make a big move at this time, wouldn't he miss the opportunity!
Seeing that Lu Chen's attitude was still tough and the matter was about to break down, the Tusi envoy said quickly:
"General Lu is not impatient. Although I cannot make any decision on this matter, I will immediately return to the capital and report the matter to His Majesty the King and ask him to decide..." (To be continued)
