Chapter 351 Siege
The battle report was quickly passed to Xia Lin. Looking at the data, he felt that the armored cavalry was truly amazing. The encounter in the relatively plain area could simply be described as a bug.

Yes, that's right. There are many ways to restrain cavalry, such as tripwires, trenches, chevaux de frise, etc., but the prerequisite is that they must be arranged in time. A kilometer of distance is a flash for cavalry, and with the combination of light and heavy cavalry, the enemy's situation will be chaotic enough for their own people to trample to death, not to mention the various types of infantry that follow closely and enter the battlefield.

Isn't this a real infantry-tank coordination? But the problem is that if the enemy really fights trench warfare, then it depends on whether the shield soldiers, heavy infantry and spray guns can deal with them. Du Fuwei is really a very talented player in war. He has a very good control of the overall battle situation, and his advancement frequency is also very good. It is estimated that when he opens his eyes tomorrow, Yangzhou Prefecture will have been completely taken.

It was just dawn and Duke Dingguo Dou Wu, who had just closed his eyes, was suddenly startled by a series of earth-shaking noises and jumped up. He quickly put on his clothes and rushed out of the room. As soon as he went out, he saw a lieutenant general rushing towards him with fear on his face.

"It's bad, Duke!"

"Say!"

The lieutenant general was still in shock and took a deep breath: "The east wall... has completely collapsed."

Upon hearing the news, Duke Dingguo was struck by lightning. He walked quickly to the collapsed part of the city wall and saw that the enemy army had already reached the front of the city, staring at him from afar across the ruined city wall.

The leading general, wearing a black steel helmet and dark plate armor, stood in front of the formation on horseback holding a spear. He did not rush to attack, but raised the spear in his hand towards Duke Dingguo from a distance.

Duke Dingguo was stunned for a moment and became confused. What was he going to do?
Thinking back to the time when Lu Bu could only shoot the halberd at the gate from 240 steps, but this guy... must be at steps. Could it be that he wanted to shoot an arrow through the heart with the spear in his hand?
It just happened in a flash. Suddenly, a muffled sound came from the clear sky, and the sound was like a tide. Before that sound came, Duke Dingguo suddenly cried out, covered his chest and fell off his horse.

After a while, blood was seen gushing out from between his fingers on his chest. Even the old duke's breathing made a bellows sound and it was obvious that he was dying.

I thought there would be another earth-shattering battle, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were all worried, but now...

"The thunder from heaven extinguishes evil, the might of heaven is magnificent! Put down your weapons, surrender and you will not be killed!"

"The thunder from heaven extinguishes evil, the might of heaven is magnificent! Put down your weapons, surrender and you will not be killed!"

Several flag bearers holding the flags of the Po Lu Army rushed into the breach in the city wall first, holding the flags and shouting loudly. Following behind them were a large number of murderous soldiers. The soldiers who were originally guarding the city had been scared to the point of being out of breath, and now seeing these murderous people entering the city, they dared not even move.

It was unknown who was the first to lay down their weapons, and the others followed suit. Then these soldiers who had laid down their weapons were tied together and taken to an open space for temporary placement. The remaining soldiers quickly occupied the important roads, government offices and armories in the city, focusing on the Mansion of Duke Dingguo and various luxurious manors.

At this time, the warlord entered the city, and behind him, soldiers wearing white helmets that were completely different from the others walked in. They shouted along the streets over and over again: "No one is allowed to enter the city, and looters will be killed without mercy."

The military discipline of the new army of Po Lu was naturally impeccable. They only occupied some special places and dared not touch anything related to the people. They even avoided the dried vegetables drying at the door.

The soldiers in white hats circled the city and continued to shout: "People, don't panic. If there are looting, rape, murder, etc., please report to the inspection team immediately. Please resume your work and life in an orderly manner. Although you cannot leave the city for the time being, you can report any emergency matters."

The people here had never seen such a model before and just found it new and novel. They didn't feel relieved until they saw those mighty soldiers resting directly on the open ground after finishing the tasks at hand.

Many curious people went out of their homes to investigate. They found that the soldiers were sitting in groups of three or four on the roadside or leaning against the wall, and indeed no one had entered the house.

At this moment, there were thousands of people who were curious and asked cautiously, "General, why don't you rob silver, grain, and women?"

The soldier being questioned was trying to pry open the lid of a can with his sword because he couldn't open it. When he heard what he said, he raised his head and exclaimed in surprise: "Robbery? Do you think military law is just a decoration? If you are caught, you will be beheaded."

After saying that, he pried the iron lid of the can hard and it popped up with a bang, which scared the nosy boy.

"To be honest, I was a soldier under Wang Shichong. Later, Wang Shichong ran away, so I fled too, all the way south to here. There are soldiers who don't kill people when they break into a city, but I've never seen one who doesn't take things."

"We won't let you, let alone rob us. Even if you take it out, we can't take it." The soldier leaned over and raised his head to drink most of the syrup in the can of yellow peaches. He let out a comfortable sigh: "Go away, don't delay me from filling my stomach."

"So, sir, is your salary enough to live on? Can you help me find out if you need anyone else? I see you guys are eating well."

The soldier who was eating looked back at the man carefully and laughed: "You look skinny, but being a soldier is hard, especially serving under our general."

"I can endure hardship, but I can also eat. As long as I can eat enough, I have great strength."

This aroused the soldier's competitive spirit. He pointed to a grinding table next to him and said, "Okay, I want to see how strong you are. Come on, go and break one."

"Then, General, if I win, can you recommend a position for me?"

The soldier patted his chest and said, "If you can beat me, there will be no problem for you to be a team leader." They are all young people. This sloppy boy looks to be about 23 or 24 years old. His face is full of beard and it is difficult to tell his appearance. Why does the soldier think that he can't be worse than this bald guy?

So the two of them came to the millstone, which attracted a lot of people to watch, including local people and many soldiers who were resting.

Seeing that they were going to have a fight, everyone became interested. They formed a circle and watched the two men's posture.

The soldier's arms are thicker than this boy's legs. In fact, no one thinks this sloppy boy will win.

But when the two men grasped their wrists, the soldier felt something was wrong. The other party's grip strength was amazing. After all, he was a man who practiced sword and gun wielding day and night, but now that his palm was pinched by this sloppy man, it actually hurt.

But at this moment, the arrow was on the string, and the brothers beside him were buzzing and making a noise. If he ran away from the battlefield, he would lose his dignity. So he narrowed his eyes and looked at the sloppy boy opposite him: "You better be careful and don't let me get hurt."

"Sure, sure." The sloppy boy chuckled, "If I win, you must introduce me to someone!"

After he finished speaking, the idle soldiers nearby started to shout slogans. At this moment, the big-headed soldier nodded: "Begin!"

After saying that, he exerted force suddenly, but found that the boy's arm did not move at all. He was greatly surprised. He continued to increase his force, but the opponent was as strong as iron.

At this moment, his comrades next to him started to make a fuss. I don’t know if it was because he was embarrassed or because he was too excited, but the soldier’s face had already turned red.

It just so happened that Du Fuwei, who had just performed the "shooting halberd at the gate", happened to pass by on horseback. Seeing the excitement here, he dismounted and came over.

When he saw that his elite soldiers were actually being suffocated by a sloppy boy and their faces turned red, he found it quite interesting.

At this moment, the soldier saw the general coming, and he was so ashamed that he tried his best to save face, but the guy on the other side just laughed and said, "General, you are going to lose."

As soon as he finished speaking, his arm fell down, and it didn't even seem like he had to use much strength to bend the arm, which was thicker than his leg, to the side.

The army values ​​martial arts, and the new army has a very good ethos. They always compete with each other in the camp. There is nothing shameful in admitting defeat. The soldiers watching the fun are also happy, so the bags of beans and cakes are considered as rewards for the sloppy man.

On the contrary, the one who had lost the battle was dejected. One person came over to rub his head, and another came over to pat his butt. The laughing and giggling was in line with the nature of these young people.

"You still need to practice!" His team leader shook his head and said angrily, "Look at them, they can't even get enough food, and look at you. From today on, you all need to practice harder!"

Upon hearing about the extra training, the soldiers around him scattered like birds and beasts, leaving only Du Fuwei standing there. The sloppy man shouted at the soldier's back: "General, you haven't introduced me yet... Don't leave, General."

At this moment, Du Fuwei actually laughed, walked up to him and patted his shoulder: "I wonder why you want to introduce me to someone?"

He turned around, startled, and looked Du Fuwei up and down: "Oh, General..."

After saying this, his eyes rolled and he said, "General, I am Luo Shixin, a junior officer under Wang Shichong. I thought Wang Shichong was useless, so I escaped. Today, I see that you are attacking the city with strict military discipline. I am grateful that you don't abandon me. Luo Shixin is willing to serve you!"

Du Fuwei laughed: "I just saw your skills, you do have some strength in you. Since you surrendered to me, I naturally can't not respond to this. However, I am just a general, but I am nothing. Wait until the real general comes and you can talk to him. Only if he is willing to accept your surrender can it work."

"Ah? And the general? You are not even the boss?"

"Of course not. General Xia Daosheng is the commander of this new army."

"Oh!!!" Luo Shixin slapped his forehead and said, "I recognize him. He is the one who made Wang Shichong run away in panic. He is very powerful. Okay, okay, please introduce me to him, General."

Du Fuwei laughed and said, "Then go change your clothes and take a bath. The general likes cleanliness, and he doesn't like you smelling so bad."

"Yes, yes, I'll go and clean it up right away. General, please don't lie to me."

Du Fuwei glared and said sternly: "When can there be any joking in the army!"
