"Quick, block the gap."
Edward reacted quickly and gave orders.
But the enemy had already rushed into the city, so there was no gap left to block.
Immediately, the armies of both sides engaged in a fierce battle in the city.
"Come on, what are you still standing there for?"
"Hurry up and release your military skills."
Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable, Edward shouted hysterically.
"My lord, the enemy and us are intertwined. Unleashing martial arts skills will only hurt our own people."
A general said.
"Waste!" Oscar cursed angrily, "Are you pigs? Even if you hurt your own people, so what? Do you all want to die?"
The soldiers fell silent upon hearing this. Although they felt a little helpless, they still obeyed the order.
"Boom~"
Soon, countless military skills shot up into the sky and attacked the soldiers indiscriminately in the city.
In a blink of an eye, both enemy and friendly soldiers were hit.
“Ah!!! Help!”
"Help!!!"
"Damn it, I'm going to kill you."
"ah!!!!!"
All kinds of shrill screams and painful groans echoed all around, and the whole city was like purgatory.
......
Seeing this, Lu Ping snorted coldly.
This idiot is still trying to fight back.
If we don't deal with him quickly, who knows how many people will die.
"You four go ahead and see if there's a chance to kill him."
Lu Ping said to Xi Shi and the other three.
"Yes, Master."
Xishi and the other three responded and then joined the battlefield.
On this expedition, Lu Ping not only brought Xi Shi and three others, but also Zhang Jiao and Zhang Daoling.
The purpose is to ensure that Edward is captured without any risk.
Now, Xishi and the other three come in handy.
Of course, Lu Ping didn't expect that Xishi and the other three would be able to kill Edward.
It would be best if you can kill it, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t.
No matter what, Edward was doomed to die.
......
Soon, Xishi and the other four mixed into the enemy group.
In less than a few minutes, the four men approached Edward.
At this moment, Edward was already at a loss.
Edward knew very well that he would not be able to escape this time.
However, this does not mean that Edward will sit back and wait for death. Even if he dies, he will not let Lu Ping have an easy time.
"Kill him!"
Edward roared madly, never expecting that death was right in front of him.
At this moment, Xishi and the other three were only a few feet away from him.
"Puff, puff~"
In an instant, four daggers were inserted into Edward's body.
"Bang!"
Then, Xi Shi drew her sword and cut off Edward's neck, and Edward died instantly.
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for killing the enemy lord. You will be rewarded with 300,000 reputation, 500,000 experience points, and 1 million food."
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for defeating the opponent and obtaining all of his territory."
Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for defeating the opponent and obtaining 3000 national war points.
Hearing the system prompt, Lu Ping's face showed joy.
Xishi and the other three did not disappoint him and killed Edward cleanly and efficiently.
This time the attack on Edward was really smooth, even smoother than capturing an ownerless village.
Edward was killed and the battle came to an abrupt end.
Of the 200,000 defenders in the city, 200 generals all surrendered.
Lu Ping also gained four county towns, more than 200 villages, and a population of more than 2 million.
......
At almost the same time, the Qing army also received news that Lu Ping had eliminated Edward.
"What? Edward was killed by Lu Ping?"
"So soon?"
A general asked in surprise.
"Haha, now it seems that this kid is really good."
"Yes, in less than a month, he killed nine lords in a row. His ability is beyond words."
Several other generals also discussed
"This kid is indeed a talent and needs to be trained well."
"Well, I agree. He can be included in the list of key support targets."
"I guess he might be running low on food again. So why not just give him a few tens of millions of kilograms of food and let him figure it out on his own?"
"Well, I think it's okay. That's settled then."
Amidst the heated discussions, the military quickly made a decision to provide Lu Ping with more food aid.
......
Of course Lu Ping didn't know all this.
At this moment, Lu Ping was preparing to lead his troops back to the city.
The retreat was of course just as the military had said, due to a lack of food.
Lu Ping's territory is large enough to support 500,000 soldiers under normal circumstances, but that will have to wait until the harvest next year.
At present, every grain of food Lu Ping consumes comes from previous stocks and food previously donated by the military.
Therefore, Lu Ping was no longer able to fight and had to withdraw his troops.
Not only did Lu Ping want to withdraw his troops, he also wanted to reduce the military force by at least 200,000.
Otherwise, all the soldiers would starve to death before the next year.
As a result, as soon as Lu Ping set out, he suddenly received a steady stream of grain transactions.
Lu Ping was wondering, but Gao Tianyi sent an email later that explained everything.
Only then did Lu Ping realize that the food was provided by the military.
It is obvious that the military wants Lu Ping to keep up the good work and continue fighting.
Of course Lu Ping would not refuse such a good thing.
Lu Ping immediately changed his plan and ordered Yue Fei to lead the army to continue the attack.
He himself returned with only 30,000 soldiers and horses.
After Edward was eliminated, there were no more powerful lords around, and Lu Ping had no need to continue to join the army.
The key point is that in a few days Lu Yi will be out of the novice period.
Therefore, Lu Ping had to go back.
