In the evening, the sun sets.
In Lu Ping's tent, all the generals gathered together to discuss the details of tomorrow's attack.
"What do you think about the attack tomorrow?"
Lu Ping glanced at everyone and then asked.
Hearing Lu Ping's question, everyone immediately started discussing and expressing their opinions.
"My lord, the enemy is strong and powerful, and with the power of the city walls, it will be impossible to capture it in a short time."
"We can only fight hard and then slowly look for opportunities in the battle."
"I suggest that we test the waters tomorrow."
"I agree!"
"I second the motion!"
“.......”
"Okay, then let's do as you say. Let's all go back."
After listening to the opinions of the generals, Lu Ping nodded slightly.
“Here!”
The generals bowed and walked out of the tent.
Lu Ping stood there, fell into silence, thinking about tomorrow's attack plan in his mind.
......
The next morning, the army was ready for war.
With Lu Ping's order, 30,000 troops rushed towards Wang Peng's city under the command of Yue Fei.
“Shoot!!”
In the distance, Wang Peng narrowed his eyes when he saw this, and immediately shouted, asking the archers to shoot arrows and fight back.
For a moment, feather arrows flew towards Lu Ping's army.
"Shield formation, protect the entire army!"
Yue Fei shouted loudly when he saw this.
Following Yue Fei's order, a group of shield soldiers quickly formed a shield wall to block the army.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
A series of collision sounds were heard, and countless arrows fell on the shield formation and were bounced away.
However, the shield is not omnipotent. The density of the arrows was extremely high, and they still caused considerable casualties.
However, compared with casualties, Yue Fei was more concerned about the speed of the charge.
As long as you can rush to the city quickly, the effect of the arrows will be greatly weakened, and your own archers can also launch a counterattack.
Soon, 30,000 troops approached the city wall.
"Quick, climb the wall!"
Yue Fei roared and ordered his soldiers to climb the siege ladders.
In an instant, 30,000 troops swarmed and climbed up the city.
"Crossbowmen, suppress!"
"Spearmen, move forward and suppress them."
Seeing this scene, Wang Peng sneered and immediately gave the order.
In an instant, the bowstrings on the city walls vibrated, and dense streams of sharp arrows shot towards the army.
The spearmen on the city wall also thrust their spears down, trying to stop the enemy from climbing.
The two sides collided fiercely, screams continued, and soldiers were constantly injured or killed.
For a time, both sides were in a tense situation.
.......
"retreat!"
About half an hour later, Yue Fei saw that the situation was getting worse and decisively ordered a retreat.
"Boom~~"
The army slowly retreated, leaving behind a field of corpses, looking in a state of disarray.
"Hahaha, Lu Ping, it turns out you're just a name with nothing to show for it."
"How capable do I think you are?"
Seeing this scene, Wang Peng laughed out loud.
"My lord, I am incompetent."
After returning, Yue Fei lowered his head in shame.
"Haha, what are you talking about, General Yue?"
"The enemy is strong and has the power of the city walls. This battle is not your fault."
Seeing this, Lu Ping stroked his beard and said.
"Thank you for your understanding, my lord. I am willing to lead the charge and capture the city for you!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Fei raised his head and respectfully offered his services.
"No, a strong attack like this is not a solution. The losses will be too great."
"We have to find another way."
Lu Ping shook his head and said in a deep voice.
"My lord, you are right."
Hearing Lu Ping's words, Yue Fei said solemnly.
"I do have a plan, but it will take a long time."
"We don't need to rush to attack the city. We can divide our forces to sweep the surrounding lords, and then fight to support the enemy. This way, no matter how many troops the enemy has, they won't be able to outlast us."
"What do you mean? Taking prisoners?"
Hearing this, Lu Ping's eyes suddenly lit up.
"That's right." Yue Fei nodded slightly.
"Okay! Let's do it!"
"This is perfect for killing two birds with one stone. We can also get more national war points." Lu Ping said happily.
........
The night passed quietly, and in the early morning of the next day, Wang Peng hurried to the top of the city, ready to meet the attack of Lu Ping's army.
But to his surprise, Lu Ping's army did not attack the city at all, but divided its forces.
Wang Peng saw an army of 100,000 soldiers heading straight west, leaving only 60,000 soldiers in the camp outside the city.
"What's going on?"
Seeing this scene, Wang Peng frowned slightly, feeling a little worried.
"My lord, if nothing unexpected happens, the other side intends to fight to support the war." Zhou Yu reported from the side.
"Fight to support the war?"
"Oh, I see."
Hearing this, Wang Peng suddenly understood.
"So what should we do?"
"How about we take advantage of his splitting of his forces and leave the city to fight him to the death?"
"My lord, this is impossible. Although there are only 60,000 troops left outside the city, they include 30,000 heavy cavalry. Fighting outside the city is simply not an option."
As soon as Wang Peng's proposal came out, Zhou Yu rejected it on the spot.
"But if not, we can only wait?"
Wang Peng said unwillingly.
"The only thing we can do now is to wait." Zhou Yu said bitterly.
"Humph, Lu Ping, you're so cruel."
Hearing this, Wang Peng gritted his teeth and felt extremely hateful.
.........
Soon, half a month passed.
In the past half month, Yue Fei led an army of 100,000 to defeat the four surrounding lords in succession, not only seizing a large amount of resources, but also capturing 70,000 to 80,000 prisoners.
