Lu Lingqi discovered that she was actually quite abnormal.
When she killed an enemy for the first time, she didn't actually feel much discomfort. After being stunned for a moment, her body seemed to have immediately adapted to the feeling of killing.
She actually seemed to get a little pleasure from it.
Maybe it’s because he has been carried by Lu Bu since he was a child and has seen too many killings?
Facing the enemy's sharp blade, she naturally swung the short halberd to counterattack, piercing and cutting off the opponent's limbs. Her daily martial arts training movements were slightly deformed at the beginning, but after killing more than a dozen people, there was no deviation or deformation.
Just like now.
The enemies who were shot down under the city were like scarecrows in Lu Lingqi's eyes. She knew in her heart that if she was shot by an arrow, she would end up in the same way.
But when faced with the arrows that were shot at her, she felt no emotion in her heart and moved sideways to avoid them in an understatement.
She only remembered what Lu Bu once said in her mind.
When facing an enemy's weapon, the wider your eyes open, the harder it is to avoid it.
She seemed to have integrated into this battlefield full of killings and became a pawn to harvest lives. She didn't care about the results, but experienced the process seriously.
She did not enjoy the pleasure of killing. On the contrary, she felt a little nauseous, but another voice in her body told her that the only thing that could end killing was killing.
The battle will only end if one party dies on the battlefield. She just accelerated the process.
Yuan Xi looked through the arrow hole and saw that Lu Lingqi was shooting accurately and hard, with a slight cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He thought to himself that this kind of effect could not be achieved through practice.
This girl is a bit scary. It would be better for me to avoid messing with her in the future.
There was a roar, and a stone as big as a human head was thrown towards Lu Lingqi. Lu Lingqi squatted down, and the stone flew over her head and fell to the bottom of the city wall.
A series of wooden ladders were set up on the city wall, and Yuan Shujun's soldiers began to climb up. The soldiers on the top of the city came up carrying buckets of hot golden juice, and poured it down the city wall. The screams and the stench were mixed together.
, spread out.
Lu Lingqi frowned, but finished shooting the arrows in the quiver, and then went to draw the arrows in Yuan Xi's quiver. Yuan Xi quickly stopped her and said, "Wait a moment and see what's going on."
Gao Shun saw that Yuan Yao's troops were constantly crossing the moat and approaching the city wall. The pressure on the defenders at the top of the city was increasing. He couldn't help but said to Wei Xu: "Now is a good opportunity. There are not many enemy troops coming from the city. If we go out to attack them, they will be defeated."
If it is blocked from the front and back, it will inevitably collapse."
His suggestion was very reasonable. If you only defend the city without attacking, you will be passively beaten and unable to gain an advantage. Going out of the city to defeat the enemy's vanguard can also boost morale.
After hearing this, Wei Xu hesitated and said, "Let's wait and see."
Gao Shun felt quite helpless, saying that he would leave it to Wei Xu on weekdays and to Gao Shun during the war, but now that Wei Xu wouldn't let go, Gao Shun couldn't get the troops.
Seeing more and more enemy troops under the city, he knew that he had missed a good opportunity. At this time, if the trapped soldiers left the city, the effect would not be as good.
When Yuan Xi saw Yuan Shu's army swarming up despite the attack of the defenders, using wooden rafts to cross the moat and attack the city wall regardless of casualties, he thought that Yuan Shu's army was indeed rich and powerful, and their lives were like straw.
But this kind of attack is indeed effective. When the battle begins, saturated troops are used to put pressure on the defenders. The defenders of Huaicheng are at a disadvantage in numbers, and they are so suppressed that it is difficult to probe. If this continues, it is easy to lose fighting spirit.
The two sides fought for less than half an hour, and Yuan Shu's army had already boarded the city, and the two sides fought together.
Wei Xu saw that the pressure on the city was greatly increased, so he turned to Gao Shun and said: "Now the general can lead his troops out of the city and attack the enemy troops attacking the city."
Gao Shun heard this and said hurriedly: "Now the city is full of people, and the trapped formation cannot be deployed. It is not as convenient and effective as going up to the city to defend."
Wei Xu listened and sneered: "If the general doesn't want to obey my orders, then why don't I, the general, give it to the general?"
After hearing this, Gao Shun suppressed the anger in his heart and cupped his hands and said: "I don't dare, I will leave the city now."
He descended from the city, led the trapped camp to open the city gate, and slashed at both sides of the city wall to kill Sergeant Yuan Shu. However, there were too many of them, and the gold juice poured down by the defenders on the city made it difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, so he was accidentally injured.
Many soldiers were trapped in the camp.
As soon as Gao Shun led the troops to fight, many casualties began to appear in the trapped camp. Gao Shun was extremely aggrieved. It was not easy to train every soldier in the trapped camp. This is not how it is used!
Seeing that he couldn't use it, he had no choice but to retreat with the trapped camp.
Wei Xu saw him, led his people down to the city, and said to Gao Shun, who was retreating, "Why did the general retreat?"
Gao Shun said in a deep voice: "It is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy under the city wall, so we can only wait and see for the time being, waiting for the opportunity to fight."
"The most appropriate way now is to go to the top of the city and take turns defending the city. Wait until the attackers are tired, and then go out to attack them."
Chen Gong listened and nodded in agreement. Although he and Gao Shun did not get along, on the battlefield, it was not the time for internal fighting.
After hearing this, Wei Xu sneered at Gao Shun and said, "Everyone performs his duties on the battlefield. Where will the general's actions leave others?"
"Since the general is unwilling to go out, then I will take them out!"
"I'm trapped in the camp and obey the order. Follow me out of the city to kill the enemy!"
Wei Xu ignored Chen Gong and Gao Shun's dissuasion, led the trapped camp out of the city, and commanded them to brave the arrows and rush into the siege army. The two sides fought in a melee. Gao Shun watched helplessly as the soldiers from the trapped camp continued to fall, and his heart was bleeding.
His fists were clenched.
Yuan Xi saw the camp situation below on the top of the city and said to Lu Lingqi: "Take a look."
Lu Lingqi took a second look and felt something was wrong. She frowned and said, "Can't we use this place?"
"What on earth do Wei Jianjun think?"
Yuan Xi spoke up: "Does Marquis Wen feel that the threat of being trapped in the camp is too great?"
Lu Lingqi was shocked and blurted out: "Isn't it possible?"
"My father is not so stupid as to break his own arm."
However, the situation below the city forced her to become suspicious. Seeing the trapped camp falling continuously, she asked, "What should we do now?"
Yuan Xi smiled bitterly and said: "I am a guest, so there is nothing I can do."
"Unless we kill Wei Xu now, we can only watch."
Lu Lingqi stood up with her halberd and stabbed down an enemy soldier who had just climbed to the top of the city. She said bitterly: "The battle is so unpleasant!"
The two sides fought for half a day before Yuan Yao's army called for gold and retreated. Yuan Yao rode out and shouted proudly: "Today is just a greeting, but I won't be polite tomorrow!"
"I'll give you one night. If Kaicheng surrenders, I will forget about it!"
Lu Bu's generals at the top of the city all looked ugly. Yuan Yao dispatched tens of thousands of people to attack the city today. The number of defenders at the top of the city was far inferior to that of the other side. Therefore, after half a day, the gap in casualties between the two sides was not very obvious. Yuan Shu's army probably lost
There are one or two thousand people, and there are nearly a thousand on Lu Bujun's side!
This is very troublesome, because this number is insignificant to Yuan Yao, but for Lu Bu's army, which only has a few thousand defenders, it is a strain!
What's even more troublesome is that if Yuan Yao attacks the city again tomorrow, he will have an advantage over Lu Bu's army!
Chen Gong said to Wei Xu: "Should we have a good discussion tonight on how to deal with tomorrow's offensive?"
After hearing this, Wei Xu nodded and said, "Okay, we'll discuss it at Marquis Wen's residence at night."
Gao Shun stood in the city, looking at the camp that wanted to take him back with him, his face gloomy.
There were over 100 casualties among the 700 trapped camps in half a day. If this continues for a few days, all the trapped camps will be wiped out!
Lu Bu's official residence is the front half of his residence, and the two are connected. When Yuan Xi learned that he was going to participate, he knew it was almost done.
He almost knew what kind of medicine was sold in Wei Xu's gourd, but he had to pour the medicine out of the gourd to find out.
He sent Lu Lingqi back to the house, and before leaving, he warned: "It's unpredictable in the house at night. After talking to your mother, don't come out unless it's absolutely necessary."
Lu Lingqi seemed to have guessed something, and nodded immediately. After opening the back door, she peeked her head in for a few glances before sneaking back to the room.
She crouched and trotted all the way. Seeing her boudoir right in front, she hurriedly jumped in. Before she could relax, she saw Mrs. Yan sitting in the middle of the room, staring at her.
When Lu Lingqi saw that she had been caught, she was about to run away when Yan said with a frosty face: "Where have you been?"
Lu Lingqi hesitated and said: "I just went to the top of the city to have a look."
When Mrs. Yan saw that the armor Lu Lingqi was wearing was covered in bloodstains, she was angry and anxious, "How can a woman go to that place?"
"In case something goes wrong, have you thought about my mother?"
"You are not allowed to leave the house again!"
Lu Lingqi lowered her head and rubbed the hem of her clothes and muttered: "Mom is so boring. Anyway, I will get married sooner or later. Then I am from another family. How does mom know whether I will follow me to the battlefield in the future?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Yan became even more angry, "Don't think that I don't know that it was that Yuan Xi who bewitched you!"
"I don't think he has any good intentions. Taking you as a concubine is just wishful thinking. If he takes you to the battlefield, won't it cost your life?"
"You are not allowed to interact with him in the future!"
Lu Lingqi pouted, "My father has agreed, but my mother still wants to find another in-law for me?"
Yan sneered: "Why not!"
"I heard that Yuan Yao, the son of Yuan Gongliu, came with troops, didn't he?"
"I heard there are tens of thousands of troops, can we withstand them?"
"If the situation doesn't work out, you might as well marry him and be your regular wife. How can you be worse than Yuan Xi?"
Lu Lingqi was so busy: "My mother is confused. Now my father and Yuan Shu have fallen out, and the army is approaching the city. If I marry him, I will also be a concubine!"
Mrs. Yan refused to let go, "It's better than that Yuan Xi. Anyway, I don't agree with your marriage to him!"
Lu Lingqi thought of Yuan Yao who was quite wretched on the city wall today, and his appearance and martial arts skills were much different from Yuan Xi's. She felt anxious and blurted out: "I have already made a lifelong commitment to that fierce tiger, how can I marry someone else?"
"You!" Yan's vision went dark, her body staggered and she almost fainted, "You are so brave!"
"How dare you do such a thing!"
When Lu Lingqi saw her, she simply broke the pot and lied to the end, "My daughter was chased by the enemy and he saved me. How did my mother think I lived those days?"
"My daughter almost lost her life, but he saved her and lived in the same tent for several days. Can my daughter still marry someone else?"
I have to say that Lu Lingqi, a good girl in Yan's eyes, suddenly started telling lies without blinking an eye, which was quite deceptive. Yan immediately believed her.
With tears in her eyes, she said, "I'm not talking about you. Yuan Xi has a lot of wives and concubines. Can you bear it if you marry her?"
"My mother is very worried."
When Lu Lingqi saw it, she felt uncomfortable, and knelt down and said, "My child knows that my mother has worked hard, but in this world, how many friends do my father have, and how many of them really want to marry their daughter?"
"My mother thinks that Yuan Yao would be better than him?"
