He had never told him that these were the Imperial Guard, and when they came out, they changed into ordinary Han armor. How could he possibly know
The stranger before me has some real skill.
【The Cloudcastle】 is located in Yúnzhōng County. From its appearance, its design style differs completely from that of the Mohists.
Huo Qubing said that there are currently 6,000 garrison troops, to be precise, 5,651.
Lu Cheng looked at the fortress, its mottled walls etched with the marks of centuries of war. As the drawbridge slowly lowered, the full extent of this Gongshu family creation, a product of the Second Hundred Schools Contention, unfolded before him.
Since the Qin Dynasty, this fortress has made a name for itself in battle, providing supplies to border troops and shelter to civilians when harassed by the Xiongnu.
But I estimate that after this battle, Yunzhong Fortress will also be completely destroyed.
Yunzhong Fortress had already received news that Huo Qubing was coming and was currently putting the cavalry into the castle.
After the drawbridge was lowered, the cavalry rode slowly across it.
Huo Qubing slowed his horse and rode alongside Lü Cheng.
"Lu Ge, there's something I need to tell you."
"General Huo, you said."
"Werewolves can disguise themselves as ordinary people, and you are able to tell. I need you to look closely; I suspect the county magistrate in the clouds is a werewolf."
"Hmm"
What's this
"How did General Huo find out" Lu Cheng asked in surprise.
"The county magistrate of Yunzhong, Huo Qubing said in a low voice: 'Based on my understanding of this man, 1,000 Xiongnu could scare him into fleeing with his family to Yanmen Pass. But now there are tens of thousands of wolf troops outside the pass assembling, and he's actually staying put on the front line. What do you think he is'"
"”
You're not wrong, that deduction actually makes a lot of sense!
Lu Cheng frowned. Besides, Dragon City had already fallen, and there must be many werewolves infiltrating Yunzhong County. There could even be a large number of them inside.
2000 cavalry slowly rode across the drawbridge.
The bridge behind them slowly closed, while the defenders of the fortress stood on either side.
Lu Cheng [Divine Consciousness Projection]
The guards on both sides are fine, but what about the county magistrate and his entourage who came from afar to greet us
Luchengshen shi fang shang qiao.
As expected!
The entire high level of the cloud is full of wolves!
Lu Cheng reported the news to Huo Qubing.
"Pass the word, everyone! Don't dismount your horses. When we reach Zhonglei Bridge, wait for my command." Huo Qubing issued his orders.
As Huo Qubing crossed the Guzhong Bridge, he suddenly shouted: "Front army, form ranks and speed up! Capture the magistrate of Yunzhong!"
The cavalrymen, at the order, suddenly surged forward!
To Huo Qubing's surprise, at the very front was Lu Cheng.
Red Hare combined with Flying General, in terms of speed, can be said to be unmatched.
The Imperial Cavalry suddenly attacked, and the foot soldiers inside Yunzhong Fort hadn't even figured out what was happening when the battle began.
The 17th-level charge was incredibly fast, and the Cloudcastle wolves only had time to transform before they were upon them. The vanguard cavalry had already thundered across the bridge from the inner bailey.
The heavy spear pierced through the werewolf's body.
Though these beasts were strong, they couldn't withstand such a shock, their flesh was torn to shreds.
Lu Cheng used [Great Strength Pill] and with one strike, he sent a werewolf flying.
They will regenerate, the rear troops draw their swords, and we shall behead them!" Huo Qubing shouted back.
This is what Lu Cheng told him, werewolves have extremely strong regenerative abilities.
He recovers from bleeding very quickly and can heal card damage himself.
The best way to deal with them is fire and poison, followed by beheading.
The Feather Lin cavalry, usually equipped with both blades and spears, heard this and the Han army horsemen drew their ring-headed swords.
A knight, who was later to gain fame, used his speed to cleave the werewolf’s head from its body with a single stroke.
As expected, it no longer moved.
The Ring Head Knife can inflict heavy damage on these creatures!
Under the swift attack, 51 werewolves, including the county magistrate, were all slain.
After the battle was over, the infantry inside the fortress finally arrived late.
Looking at the corpses of the wolf-people on the ground, the infantry couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.
And day after day, the county magistrate who gave orders and wielded authority among them, turned out to be a werewolf!
The soldiers in the city looked at each other nervously, afraid that their companions might also be wolves.
"Send a messenger! Have all the mechanisms in the fortress checked immediately. I suspect they've sabotaged quite a bit!" Huo Qubing removed his helmet.
Huo went to burn the werewolf's body while he was with the army, and the people who were checking quickly returned.
"Report, General! Nine days ago, the County Magistrate found an excuse to send away the person Public Censor sent here to take charge. They won't be back for at least another half month."
Huo Qubing pondered, the situation was worse than he had imagined.
The Citadel seems to lack qualified personnel, it doesn't even appear capable of conducting a proper inspection.
Then, there's nothing wrong with it, is there asked Huo Qubing.
"Oh, no worries, Yi Shi Lu Cheng said he would check on it!"
“Lu brother, will you still use sleight of hand” This time Huo Qubing was truly surprised.
"Yes."
Lu Cheng wasn't humble at all.
This is a perfect match, the head of the Mo family would definitely be skilled in mechanisms. Plus, with mechanisms combining the strengths of both families, it's definitely master-level stuff.
"Haha, looks like I've stumbled upon a treasure," Huo Qubing said. "How is it going"
"Forty percent." Lu Cheng held up four fingers. "The werewolves have made a pretty big 'hole' inside the fortress. The suspension bridge, city walls, and mechanism platforms have all been tampered with. Conservatively estimated, the Cloud Fortress's combat effectiveness during wartime is less than forty percent!"
Huo Qubing paced back and forth, this was very difficult.
If there is no disconnection, and one tries to insert themselves from the middle, aiming for the rear, that is certain death.
And if they wanted to cause a rift between the two armies, Yunzhong Fortress would have to hold out for at least two days within the encirclement. On the third day, they would bring troops to forcefully break through the encirclement, ride hard and fast across Yinshan Mountain, and insert themselves into the right flank.
40% of combat power, that's impossible.
Could the plan have fallen through
"Lu brother, you understand mechanism art, don't you know if you can repair it I and my men need to hold out here for at least two days when the Huns fully advance south." Huo Qubing asked.
“That’s not right. The tricks and schemes here are different from mine,” Lu Cheng shook his head.
"Lu Ge, this is a serious matter, please do your best!"
"Do I have the right to make any changes Like, dismantling things"
"The county magistrate of Yúnzhōng has been murdered, so the war fort should be temporarily put under our army's control. You can do whatever you want, and the soldiers will all assist you." Huo Qubing replied.
"How many days will it take the Xiongnu to fully advance south" Lu Cheng was most worried about this.
Our left flank will probably launch the first attack in about ten days. By then, the Xiongnu should be moving south. In these ten days, what progress can Brother Lü make
"Ten days" Lu Cheng exclaimed.
"Yes, ten days," Huo Qubing nodded. "Time may be short, but that's all we have."
"If you had told me about the fortress earlier, I could have made it awesome in just ten days!!"
—Aside—
Some people say it might be GG.
I
Just a fun fact: This book has never achieved perfect attendance since it was put on the shelves haha.
It can be written in two chapters, for the most part. If it's not finished, what do you do Everyone knows that sometimes it's just one chapter, and sometimes I just take a leave of absence.
It doesn't feel right for the water to come out.
My recent productivity hasn't been very high, I average 4 hours per chapter.
I've finished the plot, but I underestimated its content (overestimated my history).
Yesterday, I researched the Han army's weaponry, history, and terrain. It was really too late to understand the situation back then. I apologize for my incompetence!
