In the following five days, Lu Ping continued his efforts and killed two more lords in succession. The operation went extremely smoothly.
After three battles, Lu Ping also gained a lot.
A total of 150,000 reputation, 150,000 experience, and 3,000 heavy cavalry were obtained.
There are more than 10 million tons of various resources, including 3.3 million tons of grain, 3 million tons of timber, 2.7 million tons of stone, and 2.1 million tons of iron ore.
In addition, Lu Ping also captured fifteen useless generals and 23,000 soldiers.
Such a harvest naturally made Lu Ping very satisfied.
In particular, the more than three million tons of food not only completely resolved Lu Ping’s food crisis, but also allowed Lu Ping to take a big step towards becoming a level seven city.
Next, Lu Ping only needs to deal with the seventh-level lord, and he will be able to upgrade.
The seventh-level lord was not easy to deal with, and Lu Ping was not sure about attacking him at first.
But after Lu Ping captured eight thousand soldiers in the first battle, he immediately changed his mind.
It would be a shame to dismiss so many prisoners. It would be better to use them as cannon fodder.
In the following two battles, Lu Ping recruited more than 10,000 prisoners, and the total force expanded to 65,000.
After the army rested for a day, Lu Ping led his troops to the southwest, preparing to annihilate the seventh-level lord in one fell swoop.
This seventh-level lord is named Nguyen Van Jun, a native of Annam, and a gangster boss in the real world.
Ruan Wenjun's name is as handsome as he looks, but he is extremely sinister in his heart.
Nguyen Van Tuan's strength is considered strong among the seventh-level lords. He has nearly 40,000 soldiers and more than a dozen generals, including the famous Annan historical general, Chen Guojun.
Chen Guojun, an ancient Annan military strategist, led the Annan army to successfully repel two invasions of the Mongolian army and was hailed as an Annan national hero.
Precisely because of his strong strength, even though Ruan Wenjun knew that Lu Ping was coming to kill him, he was not worried at all.
In Ruan Wenjun's opinion, Lu Ping might be quite strong, but it was wishful thinking for him to want to defeat him.
He never thought that if Lu Ping didn't have strong strength and full confidence, how could he take the initiative to attack him?
This is indeed the case. When Lu Ping appeared outside the city with an army of 60,000, Ruan Wenjun felt something was wrong.
Ruan Wenjun never imagined that a sixth-level lord would have so many troops, even 20,000 heavy cavalry.
But obviously, it's too late to say this now.
However, Nguyen Van Tuan was still very confident in himself. After all, he had a lot of troops. There were 38,000 soldiers in the city, and he also had the famous Annan general Chen Guojun.
As long as you hold your ground and don't go out, there will be no problem in defending the city.
The following battle seemed to confirm this. Lu Ping launched two consecutive attacks, but both were repelled by Ruan Wenjun.
Over the next three days, the two sides continued to engage in a tug-of-war. Lu Ping attacked twice a day, but was defeated every time.
In four days, Lu Ping lost more than 13,000 soldiers, while Ruan Wenjun lost less than 8,000.
Such a result naturally gave Ruan Wenjun a lot of confidence, and he felt that Lu Ping was nothing special.
On the other hand, Lu Ping showed no sign of impatience and acted as usual.
Of course Lu Ping was not impatient, as this was the plan he had made.
Lu Ping deliberately consumed the enemy's forces and paralyzed the enemy at the same time.
As long as the opponent slacks off, Lu Ping will take over the opponent's city in one go.
In order to achieve this goal, Lu Ping even hid Huang Zhong and others and did not let them show up.
Two days later, the opportunity finally came.
Lu Ping's repeated failures gave Ruan Wenjun a surge of confidence. This guy finally let down his guard and didn't even go to the scene to command today.
The same was true for his generals. Although they did not leave the city wall like Ruan Wenjun, they also began to take turns to rest.
Lu Ping knew that the time had come and decided to launch a night attack tonight to take down the opponent in one fell swoop.
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong.
Because it was the second half of the night, the defenders were extremely sleepy and took naps against the city wall.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Ping quietly led the army to hide less than 200 meters outside the city.
This is the minimum hiding distance. If we go any further, we will be discovered by the defenders.
"Brothers, kill!"
Seeing that the time had come, Lu Ping shouted.
As Lu Ping's order was issued, tens of thousands of soldiers launched a charge under the leadership of Huang Zhong and others.
"Archers, cover!"
"The rest of you follow me."
The distance of two hundred meters was quickly reached. When they arrived at the foot of the city, Lu Ping shouted loudly.
As soon as the words fell, the archers responsible for cover bent their bows and shot arrows.
"Swish swish..."
In an instant, countless arrows rained down on the city walls, and the soldiers defending the city fell into a pool of blood with screams.
At the same time, the soldiers also set up ladders, and Yue Fei and others took the lead and climbed up first.
In less than a minute, Yue Fei, Huang Zhong and other generals climbed up the city wall.
At this time, the defenders had just reacted.
Afterwards, under the command of the enemy general, the soldiers swarmed and launched a counterattack against Yue Fei and others.
Ruan Wenjun, who was sleeping, heard the shouting and quickly got up.
"Damn it! This guy underestimated me so much that he even dared to attack me at night. He's really courting death."
"Pass on my orders, and fight back with all your might."
Ruan Wenjun hurried out of the house and gave instructions to a general beside him.
He quickly put on his armor and ran out of the city lord's mansion.
Here, Lu Ping just climbed onto the city wall.
As a result, he was besieged by enemy soldiers as soon as he came up. Of course, Lu Ping was not afraid. He immediately rushed into the battle circle and killed the enemy soldiers wherever he went.
Soon, Lu Ping cleared out a clearing.
Under the protection of Lu Ping and the generals, more and more soldiers climbed up the city wall.
The first group of soldiers to climb the city wall were wolf riders, which was a special arrangement by Lu Ping because they were all equipped with armor.
Ruan Wenjun reacted quickly and organized a counterattack.
For a moment, the two sides engaged in fierce fighting around the city wall, and screams were heard everywhere.
To be honest, Ruan Wenjun's strength is indeed good.
If it were someone else, they would have collapsed long ago when Lu Ping's army had already climbed onto the city wall, but he was still able to organize an effective counterattack.
It’s a pity that his opponent is Lu Ping, so no matter how strong he is, it’s useless.
At this moment, Huang Zhong, Su Dingfang and others were like hungry tigers pouncing on sheep, killing the enemies and making them fall to the ground.
Wherever they went, the enemies were frightened and retreated.
Pan Mei, Song Jiang and others were also not to be outdone. They fought bravely and tried hard to gain a larger foothold for their soldiers.
"Are you all idiots? Stop them now."
Seeing that the situation was bad, Ruan Wenjun pointed at the generals and cursed.
Upon hearing this, the faces of Ruan Wenjun's generals suddenly became extremely ugly, but they still obeyed the order and attacked Huang Zhong and others.
Su Dingfang discovered that Chen Guojun was extraordinary, so he took the initiative to stop him.
The other generals also found their opponents and started fighting each other.
Among the generals on Ruan Wenjun's side, except for Chen Guojun who is quite strong, the rest are all rubbish generals without exception. Compared with Huang Zhong, Yue Fei and others, they are not on the same level at all.
