The Hunted Hunter

Chapters 137. Lu VS Qi (I)

When the sun was just rising, general Xu Chen immediately ordered his troops to move to attack the city walls of Yiqiu.

His entire army began to move with a high fighting spirit to destroy and capture the city.

The ten thousand troops who were about to attack the city walls of Yiqiu were led by the deputy general Xu Chen.

There were two thousand cavalrymen who were prepared to operate the long-range war equipment they had.

While the other eight thousand troops were divided into seven thousand infantry troops and a thousand troops supplying war necessities.

The war broke out in the morning, and huge stones, fireballs, spears and arrows shot towards the wall and towards the inner city of Yiqiu.

The troops who were in Yiqiu city also did not stay silent, they responded to the attack with arrows that shot down the infantry troops who wanted to approach the city wall and also the city gate.

About a thousand archers and a thousand long spearmen were ready to welcome the invading army, if they could break through the gates of the city.

The troops from the Lu kingdom now formed a group of defensive shields from the shields they each had to protect themselves from the attacks of arrows that rained down on them.

It was done by them while still moving closer to the wall and also the city gate.

The troops in Yiqiu city had now prepared oil to flush out the invading troops and set them on fire.

The concentration of troops in Yiqiu city sometimes collapsed during the attack of balls - fireballs, stones and spears launched by the Lu royal cavalry.

"The soldier's land that operates the throwser". Speak the city lord who presides.

The distance of the throwing device with the city wall was about three hundred meters away, while the shooting range of the weakest archer troops of Yiqiu city was about two hundred and fifty meters from the wall.

There were only about fifty people who could shoot past a distance of three hundred meters.

After seeing only dozens of arrows released towards the soldier who operated the throwing device hit the target and could injure the soldier on duty, the city lord directly instructed the dozens of soldiers to focus their attacks on each thrower.

This was so that the soldiers could not only be injured, but could kill them.

This was done by the fifty soldiers.

Even though their standing positions are separated from each other, they already understand the orders that have been given to them.

The thrower also requires a lot of energy to move or to operate, so that if they are injured or killed, then, troops assigned to disable some of these tools have time to attack other soldiers who operate also other tools.

The battle on the first day did not produce satisfactory results, even soldiers from the Lu kingdom were injured and many were killed.

The losses on the side of the troops led by general Xu Chen were enormous.

Nor could they break down the city gate.

While on the side of Yiqiu city troops, there were dozens of people who died and there were also about a hundred more wounded soldiers.

It was caused by stones, fireballs and spears thrown.

Close combat had not taken place on the first day that the Lu royal army had attacked.

"Damn it...!!! It turns out that their defense is not easy for us to attack, tomorrow we will attack in a big way - magnitude". Said Xu Chen in an annoyed tone of voice.

The troops killed on the first day were quite a lot, there were about two thousand soldiers killed and three thousand soldiers who suffered minor injuries to heavy injuries.

The same thing was done by king Lu Zhuang, who sent a soldier to bring a message from him to the ruler of Liangfu.

But the same thing was done by the ruler of the city of Liangfu, which refused to surrender and was ready for war.

King Lu Zhuang who received the reply given by the city lord of Liangfu instantly became furious.

"All right! We will attack Liangfu city tomorrow, so I expect the entire army to prepare for tonight". Said the king.

The words of the king were immediately greeted with enthusiasm by the troops he led.

While the troops led by general Luan Zhi are still on their way to the city of Mengyin.

Their troop journey did not get the slightest obstacle, this is because the troops guarding the border or patrolling have now been pulled back to defend their respective cities that will be attacked.

King Qi Guan Zhong who received the news immediately felt indignant about what the Lu kingdom was doing.

"It turns out that the consequences of My actions have begun to occur, the kingdom of Lu itself, even though their war equipment is very strong, but they are also very afraid to have an open war with us, he said, but now they dare to do it". Mumbled the king.

"Your highness! Are we going to bring troops to move to help the troops in all three cities?". Ask a minister.

"I'll still go to Liangfu city, though, for now twenty thousand troops from the city of Ju and five thousand troops from the city of Gongguan and also five thousand from the city of Dong'an have united and are heading to the city of Mengyin...not only that, there were five thousand troops from Fei city who would head over and join them, so there were thirty-five thousand relief troops who would arrive at Mengyin city". Obviously the king.

"Hurry to prepare my best ten thousand troops, three thousand cavalrymen and seven thousand infantrymen so that tomorrow morning we are ready to travel to the city of Liangfu". Continue the king.

"Ready! Immediately executed". Say them while dispersing.

While the troops from the city of Ju, the capital of Chengyang province and the troops from Dongguan and also troops from Dong'an city, have now started to move towards Mengyin city.

The movement of the relief forces was faster than the movement of the forces of the Lu kingdom itself.

This was because the movement of the Lu royal army brought war equipment that could not travel quickly.

While the aid forces only carry supplies and equipment to the extent of war, so that the movement of the aid forces more quickly arrived in the city they were headed.

The troops in the city of Mengyin now numbered approximately forty-five thousand soldiers.

While the troops in Liangfu city now numbered forty-five thousand soldiers as well.

The amount was produced because of the combination of almost most of the soldiers in each city in the region of the province of Boyang.

The second day of fighting began outside the walls of Yiqiu, as well as outside the walls of Liangfu, now the army led directly by king Lu Zhuang was conducting an attack on the city of Liangfu on its first day.

As for the army led by general Luan Zhi, it had not yet arrived outside the city walls of Mengyin.

Without them knowing that the troops from the Qi kingdom were waiting for their arrival in a valley that was about five kilometers from the nearby town of Mengyin.

The five thousand troops were the ones dedicated to mentally damaging the Lu royal army.

They will make an impromptu attack and will immediately retreat simultaneously into the forest, and if the enemy troops chase, they will enter into a trap that has been prepared for the enemy forces.
