The soldiers of Lurong County are probably replaced by people from Linyi Kingdom, so from the very beginning, Liu Zhengdao did not think that people from Lurong County could directly open the city to surrender.

"Xu Huang, I'll leave it to you. Break the city gate. All the men who participate in defending the city will be killed without mercy!"

Liu Zheng gave Xu Huang an order, then took a few steps back and handed over the battlefield to Xu Huang.

Xu Huang received Liu Zheng's order and immediately began to attack Lurong County. Nine thousand soldiers rushed directly to the city gate. Although there were not many siege equipment, the county town of Lurong County did not have too high city walls, and even the city gate was not thick.

After all, this is a commercial city, not a military center, and does not require much strict defense.

With Xu Huang, commander of a general who is good at fighting and experienced, the nine thousand people under his command were quickly arranged and divided into three waves to start rushing forward. The first wave mainly deals with the city gate. When trees hit the city gate, the more times the impacts will always loosen the city gate and eventually fall.

The other part, starting from both sides, aims to attract the firepower of the defensive soldiers on the city tower.

The last part of the main force did not attack, but under Wen Pin's leadership, he directly bypassed the city gate on Xu Huang's side and ran to other city gates to disturb the search for opportunities from the other side.

The three thousand people led by Wenpin were not to attack the city, but to put pressure on the defenders in Lurong County. Knowing that there was still an enemy walking back and forth on the top of the city, the defenders in the city could not gather in one place, and they had to divide their troops to guard the city to prevent errors from happening in other cities.

With such an attack, combined with the shooting of arrows, the dilapidated city gates in Lurong County were declared disintegrating in just over a dozen minutes.

After a loud bang, the city gate collapsed.

Xu Huang led all the soldiers who attacked the city and rushed into the city together.

The soldiers who defended Lurong County were not large in number, but they never expected that Lurong County would be broken into the city gate in such a short time. After the city gate collapsed, they panicked and began to retreat from the city tower one by one.

But Xu Huang's soldiers also entered the city at this time, and these people were unable to escape from the city.

This is not how powerful the soldiers under Xu Huang are, but how Liu Zheng's previous morale boosting made the people in Lurong County hold a sense of anger in their hearts. This indignant anger has not yet dissipated, driving them to rush towards the Linyi Army troops in Lurong County.

That's why the city gate was broken in such a short time.

Liu Zheng did not even enter the city. He just took his personal guards and began to raid to other city gates to prevent the soldiers of Linyi who escaped from the city. He said that he would kill all those people and horses, but Liu Zheng did not want to let go.

With the city gate breaking, the siege of Lurong County reached its climax.

There were two thousand defenders of Linyi Kingdom in the city, and they could not stop the army led by Xu Huang. During the battle, everyone continued for a whole afternoon, and everyone was in danger.

The entire Lurong County was filled with a fishy smell of blood. Although many enemy soldiers knelt down and begged for mercy, Liu Zheng's order to massacre still caused waves of riots here.

Accompanied by an autumn rain in the evening, the color of Lurong County was washed away, and the entire Lurong County seemed to be completely renewed.

In the evening, Liu Zheng arranged the bodies of the soldiers of Linyi Kingdom who had been killed in a neat manner. After counting the number of people, he roughly understood the number of people.

"Lord, there are 2,123 defenders, all of whom were killed, and none of them escaped. All the bodies are here, please check them out."

Several soldiers responsible for counting the bodies came over from the side and told Liu Zheng the number of corpses in the square.

Liu Zheng didn't blink for a moment, and then said directly.

"Find a carriage, transport these bodies to Linyi Kingdom, and place them all outside the city to show the people from Linyi Kingdom."

As soon as Liu Zheng spoke his order, the soldiers immediately agreed.

"yes!"

Xu Huang was also a little surprised when he heard Liu Zheng's words, but he didn't say much. However, Wen Pin, who had just stopped to rest, was immediately surprised after hearing Liu Zheng's words. He hurriedly followed Liu Zheng and asked why Liu Zheng did this thankless thing.

"Lord, why do you have to work hard to transport these corpses to the enemy's city?"

Looking at Wen Pin's curious questioning, Liu Zheng did not refuse to answer based on the reason for teaching Wen Pin, but immediately started talking to Wen Pin.

"The reason why I tried my best to send these corpses back was actually a lot of benefits, not thankless."

"First of all, Linyi State is afraid that the people of the people will not know that we are coming. Sending these corpses back and putting them outside the city of Linyi State will definitely cause a sensation. This news will definitely spread more widely, which will cause panic."

After Liu Zheng said something, Wen Pin immediately understood and nodded.

"Oh, I understand, this is to make the enemy feel scared."

"Well, it's not enough to make them feel scared. We have to tell them that we will kill us soon. Cooperate with the prince Fan Yi who has already escaped, he will have greater fear of us and understand our power. He will either stay in the door or take people away directly."

"Whether it's closed-door or taking people away, this is good for us."

"If we stayed in the door, the battle turned into a tug-of-war, which gave us plenty of time to summon troops. If we delayed it, there would be a small land in the country of Linyi, and there would be not many troops at all, and sooner or later we would be dragged down."

"Although you can hide for a while, you can't hide for a while, you can't keep avoiding us. We will capture the city of Linyi and eventually destroy Linyi. They will be dead."

Liu Zheng expressed his thoughts on doing this and the consequences that would arise.

Wenpin immediately slapped his forehead after hearing this statement.

"It's amazing, the lord is worthy of being the lord. The plan he came up with is amazing. It really makes people admire him!"

Wen Pin's compliment immediately made Liu Zheng smile faintly, and then patted Wen Pin's forehead.

"Okay, stop flattering, pay attention to the injury on your chest. It has not been completely healed yet. Pay attention to rest these two days."

Liu Zheng ordered Wen Pin and then waited.

Wait for the heavy rain to stop and his army arrived in Linyi Kingdom.

The war against Linyi Kingdom will soon begin.

Another day.
