Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 754

At dawn the next day, the eastern sea revealed a shining golden light.

Li Yi ordered the warships to weigh anchor and launch into the sea, and a hundred large ships broke through the waves and sailed into the sea, heading towards Lu Rong in the morning light.

At the end of the afternoon, the Jiaozhou fleet arrived in the Lurong sea area and began to land. On the eve of the fleet's arrival, the fishermen on the shore abandoned their boats and fled barefoot.

Chu Qing's scouts and war horses disembarked first, and the rest of the battalions assembled on the shore in order.

The coast is five miles away from Lurong City, and the scouts have to go to the front post to scout and open the way.

Seeing all the trapped troops disembark, Li Yi clasped his fists and asked for instructions: "Major General, are the sailors of the last general also?"

"Although we came quickly, we still need to guard against the Linyi army's attack. The navy still stays on the ship. The supplies on the ship are the foundation of the Southern Expedition, and there is no room for loss." Lan Yuan's expression was serious.

"Wei." Li Yi was mentally prepared.

"The general, please send someone to unload the ten siege engines. I think they will be needed to attack Lu Rong." Lan Yuan added.

"The last general will make arrangements." Li Yi clasped his fists and nodded.

Gao Ling asked curiously: "I heard that Lu Rongcheng is not strong, do you need to use siege engines? Why didn't Boyang send a few secret agents to persuade him to surrender?"

Lan Yuan shook his head and replied: "At this time and at that time, the prisoners can be used to persuade them to surrender, because there are relatives of the prisoners in the city, and the Zhan people on Lu Rong's side will not be obedient. Besides, Lin Yiguo has rebelled and founded the country for many years, and persuasion alone is useless. To help the subsequent governance, it is the right way to show the might of my great Han soldiers."

Yu Fan interjected: "Major General is right. Jiuzhen County is mainly a mix of Vietnamese and Chinese, but Rinan County goes south, and it is basically populated by Cham people. The culture, customs, and language are very different. It really depends on the iron fist. means of repression."

"Oh, that's right." Gao Ling was thoughtful.

After the battalions of the trapped army had assembled, Lan Yuan stepped on his horse and waved his halberd forward, and the soldiers raised their banners and marched forward.

Yu Fan followed behind Lan Yuan with the army. He saw that the child had a golden helmet and a halberd in his hand, and he couldn't help but silently praised him in his heart. For such a young hero, the King of Hanzhong would really pick a son-in-law.

When General Lu Rong heard that the Han army had arrived, he knew that they were coming to crusade against Lin Yiguo, so he urgently sent troops out of the city to fight.

Nichinan County has warm seasons, no frost and no snow, most of the people like to be naked and barefoot, and the soldiers only have simple protection, so facing the "steel torrent" of the fallen army, they are almost defeated at the touch of a touch.

Several Linyi centurions saw that they were no match for the frontal enemy, so they discussed that some people would attract the attention of the army like hunting a large wild animal, and then a few warriors would rush into the formation to capture the thief and the king.

Occupying the strange behavior of the soldiers, like a student making small moves in the classroom, the teacher on the podium can actually see it clearly.

Seeing this situation, Lan Yuan decided to do his best and ordered the two battalions of the Chinese army to deliberately open two openings to let in those warriors who wanted to capture the king.

The Zhanren warriors straddled curly pony horses, yelled in a language that the soldiers of the entrapment army could not understand, and rushed into the formation of the central army. Their goal was the golden armored general.

Lanyuan's cloak is really dazzling, which makes these people covet people. It's a pity that Lanyuan's good equipment is driven by good martial arts. Suzaku Xuanyue's halberd takes away an enemy. When the red light of the halberd dances, it leaves red in the air. The thin line makes people think that the enemy is cut down by the red line.

When Yu Fan was young, he could also charge into battle with a spear. Just now, he was thinking about having a weapon by his side. After watching Lan Yuan's performance, he suddenly thought too much. With his domineering arrogance, killing Zhanren generals is as easy as killing a chicken, and he thought that his strength might be stronger than Sun Ce's.

Lu Rong's defenders were defeated in the first battle outside the city, and had to retreat into the city in embarrassment.

The armor of the entrapment army was very heavy, and Lan Yuan ordered the battalions to advance down the city. After a while, they surrounded the east, west and south sides, leaving the north gate leading to the direction of Xijuan empty.

During the siege of the city, General Lu Rongshou urgently dispatched scouts to Linyi in the south and Xijuan in the north to warn and ask for help, but unfortunately they were all killed outside the city by the scouts.

The siege vehicles of the trapped army were limited, and Lan Yuan concentrated all ten vehicles at the south gate, and the soldiers at the east and west gates mainly used strong crossbows to shoot at the defenders on the city.

Lu Rong's city wall was half shorter than the Central Plains city, and the defenders had an advantage in being condescending, but they had no advantage in front of the heavy armor and strong crossbow of the fallen army.

Zhanren's bows and arrows cannot penetrate the armor of the trapped soldiers, but the crossbow arrows of the trapped soldiers can easily kill Zhanren.

Seeing that the bows and arrows could not hurt the Han army, the defenders picked up stones on the city wall and threw them down the city. Although the stones were not fatal to the armor, they could cause damage to the soldiers trapped in the formation. This action greatly limited the offensive of the soldiers in the formation. Then the shield hand blocks the stone in front, and the crossbowman waits for an opportunity to shoot and kill the defenders.

As the army falling into the formation seemed to fall from the sky, Lu Rong's defenders prepared fewer stones. The two sides fought for less than two hours, and the defenders threw all the stones in the city.

Lan Yuan personally supervised the battle at the south gate. Four wells stood on both sides of the city gate. The soldiers stood on the high platform and could shoot at the city defenders.

When the stones on the city were almost thrown, Lan Yuan asked people to collect the stones, and several catapults were fired towards the city wall in a dense manner, as if stones were falling in the sky.

"Haha, happy, let these savages throw stones, this will make them suffer." Gao Ling was overjoyed when he saw this.

Lan Yuan immediately asked: "Yuanfeng (Gaoling), are you ready for the first climber?"

"The final general has been prepared long ago. In fact, everyone in the formation can climb first." Gao Ling was gearing up.

"While the catapult is suppressing the defenders, let the Xiandeng team take the ladder and wait to the top of the well. As long as the well is slightly leaned against the city wall, the soldiers can easily go to the city through the ladder." Lan Yuan analyzed with a frown.

"I'll go in person." Gao Ling clasped his fists and turned around.

"The city wall of Lurong is relatively short, so it's wonderful to use the well rail as a springboard for the ladder." Yu Fan smiled and complimented.

Lan Yuan shook his head slightly: "The main reason is that the enemy is weak and the city is not strong. If it is replaced by a city in the Central Plains, it will not be so easy."

"A major general can adapt to local conditions. This is his talent. Ordinary generals may not have such high opinions." Yu Fan wondered if this person attacked Hefei, maybe the result would be very different?
"Mr. Yu's reputation is too high. I'm just a new soldier. All the strategies and tactics I use are learned from General Gao and my father. In fact, I don't have anything of my own. I can't be considered a general." Lan Yuan responded modestly.

Yu Fan stroked his beard and smiled: "A major general can use other people's strategies for his own use, and finally win the war perfectly. This is a remarkable skill in itself. There are many generals in the world who have read Sun Tzu's Art of War. How many can be like Sun Wu? So you don't have to be so humble."

"Uh"

While the two were talking, there were loud cheers from the front of the city wall. It turned out that Gao Ling had climbed up to the top of the city with the Xiandeng dead men, and Lurong City was about to be destroyed.
