Volume Four, Three Southern Counties, Chapter 406, Leading the Way
Under the harsh orders, the people who had just surrounded the mystery to find trouble became frightened.
Lu Jiuzhang is a lunatic. Even the new emperor dares to contradict him. They have heard of these things.
Now that Lu Jiuzhang has given this order, it is really possible that he will completely keep them here today.
For a time, the troublemakers left one after another, no longer daring to stay in the Iron Blood Camp.
Lu Jiuzhang looked at Xuanji, who still had no expression on his face and was wiping the knife in his hand.
"Let's all disperse. Let me talk to Xuanji."
Lu Jiuzhang dismissed everyone, and then looked at Xuanji, "Before the old general left, he talked to me once and asked me to take good care of you. He said that even if you die, you should die on the battlefield fighting monsters!"
"I see!"
Xuanji nodded.
"Take care! Iron-Blooded Camp still needs you!"
Lu Jiuzhang patted Xuanji on the shoulder.
After this incident, he may not be able to get out.
…
The demon clan launched the attack in the early morning of the fourth day.
Countless monsters rushed towards the city wall, and it was so dark that it made people feel depressed.
The Iron Blood Battalion is still guarding the west of the city.
Lu Jiuzhang stood on the city wall. After the city gate below opened, the soldiers of the Iron Blood Battalion took the initiative to attack.
Tens of thousands of warriors rushed out of the city gate, and Lu Jiuzhang took the lead and rushed into the group of monsters.
A long river of sword energy crosses in front of hundreds of big demons, drawing them into the river of sword energy and constantly destroying them.
Lu Jiuzhang fought bloody battles, becoming more and more brave as he fought.
The soldiers of the Iron-Blooded Battalion are better than ever, and the fighting speed is getting faster and faster.
It was like a sharp knife inserted into the demon clan's belly.
On the left of Lu Jiuzhang is Xuanji, and on the right are Zhou Zheng and Heizi.
Several people formed the front edge of the sharp knife. If gods block it, they will kill gods, and if Buddha blocks it, they will kill Buddha.
"Master Jiu, Master Jiu!"
Bai Xiaosu's voice came from behind.
She rushed to Lu Jiuzhang's side.
"Nancheng is broken!"
Bai Xiaosu said, "Back off!"
"What?" Zhou Zheng was surprised, "How could Nancheng be destroyed so quickly?"
Everyone was fighting from early morning to noon, and they had no idea of time. They just felt as if a blink of an eye had passed.
"I don't know the specific reason, but if we don't leave, the demon clan will attack from the city and surround us." Bai Xiaosu urged.
"Maybe someone deliberately opened a hole!"
Zhou Zheng analyzed.
"Withdraw, we cannot let the people of the Iron Blood Battalion lose here." Lu Jiuzhang said solemnly, "If we fight head-on, we will die a worthy death, but if we are besieged, we will die unprovoked."
"The soldiers of the Iron-Blooded Battalion should not die in such a painful way!"
Lu Jiuzhang sent an order for the Iron Blood Battalion soldiers to retreat.
Then, everyone rushed towards the city.
Lu Jiuzhang and others retreated.
…
In the city, the demon clan rushed in and killed everyone.
The warriors in the city resisted vigorously, but suffered heavy losses.
There are too many monsters, like a flood that bursts a dam.
The east gate where Zuodao is located.
Most of the monsters swarmed towards the east gate.
Sitting on the city wall, looking at the flood-like monsters below, Zuo Dao's heart trembled.
"Old General, I can't help you, but I still can't defend this city."
Zuo Dao went against the crowd and rushed towards the monster.
The moment he got close to the monster, he exploded with all his cultivation and died by self-destruction.
The third-level martial arts warrior self-destructed, and the remaining power caused half of the city of Shuijun to be wiped out.
The tens of thousands of monsters that rushed into the city lost any trace of their existence under the explosion.
Zuo Dao's self-destruction greatly stopped the pursuit of the demon soldiers and generals.
Lu Jiuzhang and the soldiers of the Iron Blood Battalion also took this opportunity to leave Jiangshui County and headed northwest to Yiyun County.
The terrain of Yiyun County is relatively high!
It is easy to defend but difficult to attack there.
If you retreat, you can go to Ximu County, where the terrain is higher. If you advance, you can attack Shuizhou County, from top to bottom, catching the opponent by surprise.
The old general Xuan Wuyun has already made plans for Lu Jiuzhang.
Even Pei Yunzhang has taken a fancy to the territory of Yiyun County.
…
The demon clan, Yao Wumingben, took action against Lu Jiuzhang.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened, and he watched Lu Jiuzhang retreat before his eyes.
"snort!"
Yao Wuming snorted coldly, "With such a huge advantage, those people were not left behind, and at least 70,000 to 80,000 people escaped!"
After successive battles, only about 200,000 of the 300,000 demon soldiers were left.
In a siege battle, the attacking side is already seriously damaged, but this is still acceptable.
But after breaking through the city and causing so many casualties, Yao Wuming couldn't bear it. Lu Jiuzhang even escaped, which made Yao Wuming feel a thorn in his heart.
"Send spies to tell my father that Jiangshui County has been captured, and I plan to continue to capture Shuizhou County." Yao Wuming said slowly.
Which one is lighter and which one is more serious can still be distinguished clearly.
Although it was eager to kill Lu Jiuzhang, the shame of the Snow Demon Clan, Shuizhou County was more important to the Zhou Dynasty.
This is a land of abundance, rich in rice.
Without Shuizhou County, the Zhou Dynasty would be even more unsustainable.
"Rest today and attack Shuizhou County tomorrow!" Yao Wuming continued to order.
The three or four counties near Shuizhou County are safe and reliable. After taking Shuizhou County, we can successfully hold these four counties in our hands.
…
Also on this day.
Shuizhou County.
News of the defeat has not yet come.
Li Zhizhang had received news from the direction of Jingzhao Mansion that his father was trapped by the new emperor.
There was no way to kill Lu Jiuzhang. Now he had tens of thousands of soldiers around him.
Neither of the two things was completed!
Can't wait any longer.
Li Zheng took the lead in giving the order, and the sect he supported sent thousands of warriors to instantly take control of Shuizhou County and kill the county guard in public.
Then, Li Zheng announced that Shuizhou County was out of the control of the Zhou Dynasty, and he would be in charge from then on!
Some wealthy people in Shuizhou County were already panicked, and most of them had already fled.
The remaining wealthy merchants were robbed by Li Zong and declared these items confiscated and left to his disposal in the future.
At the same time, Li Zheng took control of the prefectures and counties in the original Shuizhou County and formed an army of 100,000 people.
However, most of these 100,000 troops have little combat experience.
It feels a bit like a straggler!
But no matter what, he, Li Zheng, can be regarded as the king of land!
Sitting in the magistrate's mansion, Li Zheng played with the seal in his hand.
This is the chapter used by the county governor in the past. Li Zhizhang had long wanted to sit in this position, but he didn't expect that today he would use this method to accomplish it.
"Uncle, my son died unjustly!"
Under the stage, there was a woman who kept sobbing.
Her son is the young master of the Li family, the former leader of the four tyrants in Shuizhou County.
In the end, he was beheaded by Lu Jiuzhang.
Now, her uncle was revolting, and she quickly found her, hoping that her uncle would help her kill Lu Jiuzhang and avenge her son.
"That's all in the past tense. I will kill Lu Jiuzhang, but not because of your son's excuse."
Li Cheng said slowly.
Lu Jiuzhang was a member of the new emperor. To overthrow the Zhou Dynasty, the people of the new emperor must die.
