It's better to be an empress than a county magistrate

Then the various arms of Jizhou's troops cooperated.

The throwers who were originally scattered among various companies quickly gathered into an independent team when facing the tall city.

This deployment of troops made Pei Jun's eyes light up.

In peacetime, they can be broken up into small groups so that they can quickly gather together in times of war.

A single company has all the necessary arms and is able to fight independently.

When large groups of troops are together, they can also cooperate with each other.

Lu Xingchen is just a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, how could she have such strategic ability and tactical awareness.

Pei Jun's admiration for Lu Xingchen increased a little more.

This time the training was still divided into three companies, but because there were only 3,000 people, Lu Feng and his team each received 1,000.

Tang Yi had been observing the movements of the Jizhou troops below from the city wall.

Their hearts were in their throats, ready to shoot at any time.

However, Lu Xingchen and his men did not attack Tang City, but continued to practice.

Sometimes it was a thrower, sometimes it was a ladder, and sometimes it was a battering ram.

Tang Yi only occupied Tang City and never attacked other places. Therefore, he was completely confused about Lu Xingchen's tactics.

But since Lu Xingchen didn't attack the city, his soldiers could only remain highly vigilant.

Two days passed like this.

On the second night, Lu Xingchen and Wei Hu and others ate stewed pork ribs in the tent while discussing the process of today's siege drill, summarizing the experience and finding out the shortcomings.

Lu Xingchen would also let the three teams point out each other's shortcomings without mercy.

Sometimes the quarrels in the tent would become tense.

However, Lu Xingchen has absolute prestige, and as long as she shouts to stop, everyone will obediently turn off the engine.

"Pei Jun, tell me what's lacking in the drills over the past two days." Lu Xingchen looked at Pei Jun and asked.

Although Pei Jun is not very old, he has been a soldier for many years and has also served as a commander, so he still understands the ways of the world.

Soldiers like Lu Xingchen and his men are like a family.

They are absolutely obedient to Lu Xingchen, so they have strong cohesion and combat effectiveness.

Of course, there is also a drawback, that is, Lu Xingchen can easily become the only one who has the final say.

So he decided to take the route of social skills.

"Sir, I think it's great. The discussion was quite heated and all the shortcomings that should be pointed out were pointed out. I have nothing to add."

"It seems that you are of no use at all. Come, take Pei Jun out and behead him." Lu Xingchen said coldly, then waved to the outside of the tent.

In an instant, two guards walked in from outside the door.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you..." Pei Jun quickly admitted his mistake.

This woman is not a good person. She kills people without any hesitation.

"Over the past two days, General Lu's company has the strongest capabilities. Whether in terms of organization or discipline, it is very outstanding."

"But have you ever thought about one thing, that is, we have not encountered any real enemies at all. The enemies ahead are all imaginary enemies, nothing but air."

"When we encounter a real enemy, there will inevitably be casualties. So when casualties occur, will our team still maintain the original formation? Will it be in chaos?"

“So when you’re actually attacking a city, don’t get too hung up on formations and forms.”

"At that time, it was really the brave who won when they met on a narrow road."

“Once you stick to the formation just to maintain it, it’s easy to be controlled by others.”

"General Zhang is the most courageous. He is willing to sacrifice his own life, and his subordinates will follow suit."

"That's good, of course, but sometimes you still have to use your brain to fight."

"General Wei is just too calm..."

Now that he had spoken, Pei Jun showed no mercy.

Fortunately, Lu Feng and the others did not argue, but instead humbly learned from Pei Jun.

This discussion lasted for nearly an hour.

"Okay, let's stop here for today. Everyone go back and rest quickly. We will attack the city at 3:30 am tomorrow..."

Lu Xingchen stood up and said in a resounding and powerful voice, "This is not a drill, it's an actual battle."

"Anyone who retreats in fear of the enemy on the battlefield will be beheaded, and anyone who flees in battle will be beheaded."

"Zhang Fan, your company will lead the charge, and Wei Hu will be in reserve. Lu Feng will be responsible for advancing after entering the city."

Zhang Fan, Wei Hu and Lu Feng stood up and took orders in a sonorous voice.

At three quarters past three in the morning, torches suddenly lit up in the tent, making it as bright as day.

In an instant, the sound of drums shook the sky.

Each gunpowder bag, with a lit fuse, drew a beautiful arc like a meteor in the sky, and then fell on the city wall of Tang City.

This was followed by an earth-shattering explosion.

What followed was a roar like the sound of a tsunami.

Zhang Fan took the lead and rushed to the front.

The archers fired in unison in groups.

In an instant, arrows rained down on the city walls of Tang City.

In the past two days, they have driven the defenders of Tang City into a state of numbness.

Moreover, the siege began at 1:30 pm, which is the time when people are most sleepy.

The first and second rounds of gunpowder fired simultaneously stunned the defenders.

They just had a little reaction and the archers followed closely behind.

In just two quarters of an hour, Zhang Fan and his men had climbed up to the city wall.

There was a melee on the city wall of Tang City.

At Lu Feng's command, his company arrived at the gate of Tang City with battering rams.

This battering ram was provided to her by the system, and it made full use of mechanical principles.

It can increase a soldier's strength by more than ten times.

The battering ram was used only a few times before the city gate was smashed open.

Lu Feng led his men into the city.

Soon, the city of Tang was filled with shouts and cries of killing.

Lu Xingchen had already sent Ling Xiao and Lu Yun to guard the other gates of Tang City respectively.

So when Lu Feng led his men into the city, she followed him into the city.

But Tang Yi did not run away.

Several of his sworn brothers had died in the battle, and now he was the only one left.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking Tang City?"

Tang Yi held a knife in his hand, with blood dripping from it.

"Is there any point in asking this now?" Lu Xingchen looked at him and said.

"It makes sense. At least I have to know at whose hands I died!"

"My last name is Lu, Lu Xingchen, and I am the military governor of Jizhou."

"I won't tell you those high-sounding words. Tang City is where I train my troops."

A relaxed smile appeared on Tang Yi's face.

Then he raised his knife and committed suicide.

He is also a man.

Lu Xingchen had his body kept intact and cremated him together with Yan Feihu and others.

Although Tang Yi has a woman, he has no children.

Lu Xingchen found an old servant and a child feeding the horses in the stable.

The child is eleven years old this year and is thin and small.

"General, he is the child of the former county lord." The old servant said while kneeling in front of Lu Xingchen.

"Tang Yi killed the county lord's entire family."

"At that time, I was outside with you practicing horse riding. When I came back, I learned that the county town had been breached by bandits."

"I wanted to stay in the county to avenge the county magistrate, but I never found the opportunity."

"The young master stayed with this old slave."

"Please, General, take the young master in..."
