Chapter 375: Going into battle
After General Zhenguo and Lu Yunting responded to Emperor Yuan, they turned around and walked out of the hall with determined eyes.
As he passed by Jiang Yueyang, Lu Yunting kept walking and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Just as the two were about to pass each other, Jiang Yueyang reached out and grabbed his arm regardless of everyone's gaze.
"You wait."
Jiang Yueyang bent down and picked up the thunder whip from the bamboo basket, then slowly took Lu Yunting's hand and put the thunder whip in his hand.
She looked at him, her eyes full of reluctance and worry, "I'll wait for you to come back."
Lu Yunting gripped the thunder whip tightly, nodded lightly, and started walking forward again.
Jiang Yueyang stood there, following his back with her eyes until he disappeared.
Soon, General Zhenguo and Lu Yunting rode their horses at full speed to the city gate.
The troops assembled last night are already here, ready for battle.
General Zhenguo shouted loudly: "Open the city gate!"
The huge city gate slowly opened at the command of General Zhenguo, and the huge vanguard of the enemy army was lined up not far away.
"drive!"
General Zhenguo and Lu Yunting were the first to ride out of the city, followed closely by the soldiers behind them.
After running to the right position, the two men pulled the reins.
Lu Yunting glanced at the Lu family army behind General Qiu with cold and sharp eyes, raised his spear and pointed it at the people opposite, "Surrender and you will not be killed!"
Someone shouted, "General, the emperor and his men are bullying us too much. Join us in rebellion. We will support you as the ruler of the world!"
"General, we don't want to stay on the frontier anymore. We want to go home and reunite with our families!"
"Don't count on the general. He's exchanging us for the emperor just for a woman!"
"He has abandoned us! He is unworthy to lead us!"
"Everyone remember, we did nothing wrong. We were forced to do this by them!"
The imperial court's actions towards the Lu family army over the years have caused deep resentment among the Lu family army.
In addition, when they learned that Lu Yunting was planning to hand over the Lu family army to the court for management, their rebellious psychology was further aroused.
General Qiu took advantage of this to make the loyal Lu family army obey his orders.
General Qiu rode on his horse with a smug smile on his face, "Lu Yunting, are you going to kill these soldiers who are so loyal to your Lu family?"
General Zhenguo frowned, "Lu boy, the situation is not good. The Lu family soldiers who are loyal to you are the ones Qiu Jian is using to deplete our forces. The ones who are truly loyal to him are still waiting in the rear for an opportunity to strike."
General Zhenguo was right, but Lu Yunting felt that Qiu Jian’s purpose was more than that.
Qiu Jian wanted him to kill Lu Jiajun with his own hands, and then use this to shake Lu Jiajun's loyalty to him.
So as to completely control the Lu family army!
Thinking of this, Lu Yunting shouted loudly: "I know you are suffering, and I know you want to be reunited with your family!
But do you know what your family wants? They want you to be safe!
But once the war breaks out, how can you guarantee your safety? If you lose your life, how can you talk about reunion? "
After these words were spoken, the Lu family army behind Qiu Jian began to waver.
Lu Yunting continued, "I'm handing you over to the court because I want to bring you home peacefully. If you lay down your weapons, I will plead with His Majesty for leniency!"
"Do you believe these words?" Qiu Jian raised his lips to encourage the troops. "The emperor won't trust us, an army loyal to the Lu family. He will eliminate us and put an end to our future troubles!"
The general is confused for a moment, but as long as we capture Chang'an and help him ascend the throne, he will understand that we are right!
"Yes! The Emperor won't believe us! He wishes we would all die on the frontier!"
"I don't want to die! I want to go home."
"Kill the emperor and we can all go home!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost tense, Qiu Jian shouted, "All soldiers, listen to my order! Attack the city!"
As Qiu Jian's voice fell, the war was about to break out, and the vanguard armies of both sides rushed towards each other like a tide.
Lu Yunting sat on horseback, watching the imperial city garrison and Lu family army fall one after another, his eyes gradually turning red.
At this time, General Zhenguo signaled several deputy generals to go on the battlefield to kill the enemy, and Qiu Jian also sent out the generals of the Lu family army.
The two sides fought back and forth, seemingly evenly matched.
But as time passed, the numerically superior Chang'an garrison gained the upper hand.
Seeing that both sides suffered heavy casualties, Qiu Jian ordered a withdrawal!
General Zhenguo did not order a pursuit because the garrison in Chang'an City had less than 100,000 troops. If there was a trap, the imperial city would be in danger.
Last night, the situation in Chang'an City had been reported. He wanted to wait for reinforcements from all over the country to arrive before annihilating the rebels in one fell swoop.
In order to deal with the enemy's attack at any time, General Zhenguo ordered to set up camp on the spot.
Residents living near the city gate have also been transferred to shelters one after another, and people are in a panic for a while.
The next day, Qiu Jian led his troops to attack again, but Lu Yunting still did not go into battle to kill the enemy.
At the same time, the Shadow Pavilions in various places also sent news to Lu Yunting that the people Qiu Jian had secretly sent out before quickly controlled the governors of various places and snatched away the military tokens, making it impossible for reinforcements to arrive.
Lu Yunting ordered the people of Shadow Pavilion to find a way to rescue the governor, take back the military command, and then go to the capital to provide support.
At night, he led the people from the Shadow Pavilion to sneak into the enemy camp, attempting to capture the leader first.
But Qiu Jian seemed to have anticipated Lu Yunting's move, and Lu Yunting and his companions were almost caught in the trap.
After successfully escaping, Lu Yunting followed his heart and went to see Jiang Yueyang.
He held her in his arms and said helplessly like a child, "Yangyang, they are all my comrades who have been through thick and thin with me. I don't want to kill them."
If we don't kill them, the war cannot be quelled.
Jiang Yueyang raised her hand and gently patted his back, saying softly, "Ayue, do you still remember the whip I gave you?
It was a special whip. Press the switch next to the black stone and the whip would be covered with lightning.
Lightning can paralyze people, but if you control the force well, you can achieve the effect of paralyzing without killing them."
The strength of the lightning on the thunder whip changes with the strength of the user's whip.
The next day, Qiu Jian once again laid siege to the city.
Lu Yunting handed the spear in his hand to Xu An, and then he drew his whip and rode forward.
Seeing this, Qiu Jian deliberately shouted, "Lu Yunting, are you going to attack your former comrade?"
"The... the general is going to go into battle and kill us."
"The general has truly abandoned us."
"That's right!" Qiu Jian drew his sword and pointed it at Lu Yunting. "Between the Lu family army and the royal family, he chose the royal family! Kill anyone who doesn't want to die!"
"kill!"
Under the instigation of Qiu Jian and due to their misunderstanding of Lu Yunting, the Lu family army rushed forward, and the Chang'an garrison subconsciously stepped forward to meet the enemy.
Lu Yunting rode his horse and rushed to the front. With just one flick of his whip, he sent the Lu family army, who were at the front, flying ten feet away, and a large number of them fell down.
The Chang'an garrison stopped in their tracks when they saw this scene. What kind of weapon was that? It was so powerful.
Qiu Jian frowned fiercely, his eyes falling on the whip in Lu Yunting's hand that was glowing red.
Seeing him rushing towards him, Qiu Jian shouted, "Why are you still standing there? He's already attacking you!"
The Lu family army came back to their senses and rushed towards Lu Yunting again.
As the whip fell one after another, the Lu family army fell one after another.
General Zhenguo noticed that the fallen Lu family soldiers were not dead, but had lost their combat capability.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Qiu Jian ordered the archers to shoot, and he took the opportunity to retreat.
Because of this, he did not see the scene where the protective shield blocked some of the arrows for Lu Yunting.
After the battle, General Zhenguo called Lu Yunting to the city wall.
"Lu boy, besides the whip in your hand, did Master Xiao Jiang give you anything else?"
"No." Lu Yunting answered simply.
"Don't try to lie to me. I saw it all. Those arrows you didn't block were blocked by something."
"You're wrong."
General Zhenguo shook his head and smiled, "Forget it, just assume I was mistaken."
"You just saw it wrong."
