Wu Feng looked embarrassed and looked back at the battlefield. Just as he expected, the Luzhou soldiers in his hands could not withstand the impact of the opponent's cavalry.
Unprepared, infantry cannot fight against cavalry.
Especially since the soldiers in his hands are poorly trained and their combat effectiveness is extremely average.
Wu Feng was in charge of Luzhou's military affairs for three years, which was not a short period of time. He was able to train a strong army.
But people have their own plans, and Wu Feng was not willing to be a camp governor in Luzhou. He wanted to be a local governor, or a military governor, or he could just directly hold a civilian position in Jinling.
There was no saying that the Southern Tang Dynasty valued military power over literature. Most of the people in power were literati.
The relationship between Tang and Zhou Dynasty was always at odds, but there was never any friction, and Luzhou was not the first line of defense.
After training hard in Luzhou for three to five years, I left Luzhou with a transfer order. Isn’t the hard work of these three to five years equivalent to making wedding clothes for others?
Wu Feng served as an official for three years. His main purpose was to cultivate his reputation, accumulate connections, and strive for promotion. Training soldiers was just a side job. Anyway, it was just to guard the city and deal with local ruffians.
Compared with the real elite, the results are self-evident.
It collapsed with one blow.
Since Wu Feng saw Shi Shouxin's mighty cavalry, he didn't expect the Luzhou soldiers to achieve any results. It would be enough if they could help him resist for a while.
Wu Feng didn't dare to stay any longer, so he just ran away.
Suddenly, there were shouts of killing coming from behind. Wu Feng turned his head and his eyes were filled with tears!
Not far behind the team, soldiers holding high stone flags were gradually approaching.
The opponent actually ignored the soldiers he had left behind and chased after him!
Wu Feng gritted his teeth, swung the riding crop several times, and said to the left and right: "Whoever stays to resist, I will treat his family well."
The cavalry on the left and right said nothing and no one took any action.
Just kidding, what's the use of being kind to your family if you die?
Is it a man who lets his wife use his own hard-earned money to support another man?
Or let your son call other men daddy?
There is no loyalty to superiors and subordinates like them who have been exchanged for money.
When Wu Feng saw that his words had no effect, he no longer forced himself. He could only whip his horse whip and speed up to Luzhou.
Luzhou is also called Hefei. In the early years, Wei general Zhang Liao defeated Sun Quan's 100,000-strong army here.
Zhou soldiers have been besieging Shouzhou for many months, but it seems that they have not affected Luzhou, which is more than 150 kilometers away.
The people here can still freely enter and exit the city gate. Except for a few more soldiers guarding the gate and a few more soldiers on the city tower, there are no other changes.
On duty at the west gate of Luzhou today was a Dutou named Pang Song. He was resting in the watch room of the gate tower as usual, lying leisurely on a chair with his calves raised and eating peanuts.
It wasn't until he heard someone calling from the tower that he walked out of the cell and shouted, "What are you talking about!"
He was shocked when he looked at the dust in the distance, and an idea came to his mind, it couldn't be Zhou soldiers coming to kill him.
"It's Master Wu!"
The sharp-eyed soldier had already recognized the person coming.
Pang Song squinted and looked, it was indeed Wu Feng.
Today Wu Feng went out of the city and chatted with him for a few words, saying that there was a military situation to deal with. He breathed a sigh of relief and lay on the top of the city waiting for Wu Feng to arrive, and then chatted with him for a few words.
Wu Feng was very popular, and Pang Song also benefited from him during the New Year and holidays, and had a great impression of him.
Pang Song watched Wu Feng getting closer and closer, and also noticed the hundreds of riders chasing behind him, and his expression became serious again.
"Something's wrong!"
Pang Song's heart trembled, and he was about to close the city gate, but saw that Wu Feng was already nearby. Thinking of the relationship between the two, he really couldn't bear to lock him outside the city.
What's more, Wu Feng was very popular. The city's governor, chief secretary, and county captain were all his friends.
If he found out that he turned Wu Feng away and died in the city, he would not be able to bear the blame.
But the blame for losing the city cannot be shouldered either.
The more mediocre a person is, the more difficult it is to make a choice when encountering this situation.
As soon as he hesitated, Wu Feng was a hundred steps away, while the thieves chasing him seemed to be still some distance away.
It seemed that there was enough time to welcome Wu Feng into the city and then close the city gate.
Pang Song simply shouted: "Prepare your bows and arrows, wait for the thieves to enter the shooting range and shoot directly. When Wu Dujian enters the city, immediately close the city gate."
However, when Wu Feng was still fifty steps away from the city gate, Pang Song discovered that the thief knight had actually increased his speed, closing the distance between Wu Feng and Wu Feng at a terrifying speed.
Seeing that they were about to rush into the city together, Pang Song shouted in horror: "Close the city gate quickly, close the city gate quickly."
Obviously, it is too late to close the city gate at this time.
Before the gate was half closed, Wu Feng rushed into the city first and knocked down the soldiers standing in front of him, followed by more than twenty riders.
Then Shi Shouxin leaped in...
Shi Shouxin's understanding of cavalry was one of the best in the Zhou Dynasty.
When chasing Wu Feng, he realized that the opponent's horses were either of poor overall quality or were not gelded, which was a level lower than their war horses.
The speed, endurance, and obedience of gelded military horses are not the same as those of non-castrated military horses.
If Luo Youdu hadn't had the idea of using Wu Feng to capture Luzhou, he would have captured him long ago.
Shi Shouxin deliberately controlled his speed, then sprinted with his cavalry in an instant, and he and Wu Feng entered the city one step at a time.
Shi Shouxin ignored Wu Feng, directly chopped down the two soldiers near him, and rode his horse to climb the city wall from the steps of the tower on the right.
When he was sprinting before, he keenly saw someone commanding someone on the tower, heading straight for Pang Song's location.
When Pang Song saw thieves entering the city, he knew something was wrong.
But he never expected that Shi Shouxin actually rode up to the tower and came directly in front of him.
The huge head soared into the sky!
Shi Shouxin didn't give him a chance to react. The men and horses passed through and took away the huge head.
Shi Shouxin occupied the west city gate. After Cao Bin arrived with the subsequent 900 cavalry, Luzhou was no longer able to recover.
Wu Feng, who was lucky enough to survive, entered through the west gate and ran directly to the east gate to escape from the city, leaving behind all his belongings.
Anyway, the wife and children serve their mother in their hometown, and those in Luzhou are just concubines and concubines.
Shouzhou Dazhou Camp.
There was little progress in the war in Shouzhou. The achievements of Zhao Kuangyin and Luo Youdu brought great encouragement to the entire army.
Everyone in the camp was talking about their glorious achievements.
The two men each led an army of 5,000 men. One faced Han Xin of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the other faced the tiger general of the Southern Tang Dynasty. One outwitted and the other defeated them with strength. It was like competing with each other, and they defeated the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Who has greater merit and who is stronger will inevitably be compared.
No one can convince anyone.
However, Zhao Kuangyin killed him too hard. He killed five thousand to thirty thousand and laid his corpse for thirty miles. He frightened the general of Qingliu Pass into surrendering and the governor of Chuzhou was so frightened that he abandoned the city and fled.
The difference seems to have been made!
But soon came the news that Luo Youdu intercepted the huge amount of grain, grass and equipment supplied to Shouzhou by the Southern Tang Dynasty and rode down to Luzhou...
