Bright Sword: I don’t want to be the king!

“Damn…”

Cao Geng cursed inwardly. This guy really had the capital to be arrogant.

Such a fortress can hide at most dozens of enemy soldiers. It is not impossible to conquer it, but the cost will be extremely heavy.

Lu Zhaowu, along with two warriors, riding on Swift Wind Horses, had already arrived outside Luyang City.

As soon as they arrived outside the city, they were shocked.

Where are the enemies? Where have they gone?

The most crucial thing is that the city gates were wide open, there were no enemy soldiers guarding the city walls, and there was no enemy "law and order maintenance" at the city gates.

What is going on?

A soldier said: "Captain, this place is too weird! Should we go over and take a look?"

Lu Zhaowu quickly replied: "No, observe first. Don't fall into the enemy's trap."

At this moment, Lu Zhaowu's thoughts coincided with Duan Peng's at that time.

But then he heard gunshots coming from the city.

Well, that's the sound of the M1 Garand rifle.

Lu Zhaowu heard this sound every day. His soldiers also used this kind of magic rifle. He was very familiar with this sound.

"Haha, our team has entered the city. Let's go and take a look together."

After Lu Zhaowu finished speaking, he urged his horse to head into the city.

At this time, two Eighth Route Army soldiers appeared beside them.

"Captain Lu, Captain Lu, why are you here?"

Lu Zhaowu recognized the two soldiers and hurriedly rode forward.

Asked: "Xiao Luo, Xiao Zhu, why are you here? What happened here?"

Xiao Luo replied: "Captain Lu, our battalion commander has led his troops into the city. They are now fighting fiercely with the enemy in the city! We are responsible for guarding outside the city."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhaowu was so shocked that he couldn't express it in words.

Just 600 men can attack the city? And it only takes a few hours to succeed. What about the plan to dig a tunnel?

Lu Zhaowu really didn't know how to comment.

"Xiao Luo, Xiao Zhu, you continue to guard here, I will go to the city to take a look."

After saying that, the three of them rode their horses into the city.

Just as Cao Geng was thinking about how to attack the Chamber of Commerce's fortress, the sound of Guo Degang's horse hooves echoed in his ears...

At this moment, who is riding the mysterious Pegasus through the night?

The soldiers' nerves were instantly tense.

When I saw who was coming, it turned out to be the brave Captain Lu.

Cao Geng hurriedly shouted into the magic communicator: "Quick, warriors in the rear, quickly stop them from approaching, so as not to alert the enemy."

That's right. If they were allowed to break in without any preparation, they would be reduced to ashes once the shadow cannons lurking in the Richen Trading Company roared.

Soon, Lu Zhaowu was intercepted and Cao Geng approached.

Seeing this, Lu Zhaowu quickly jumped off his horse and asked, "Captain Cao, what happened here? The brigade commander sent me here to investigate. Didn't he say he was going to dig a secret passage? Why did he change it to a siege?"

Cao Geng felt extremely complicated, so he could only respond briefly: "It's hard to explain this matter at the moment. I can only say that the enemy is becoming more and more vulnerable. General Duan Peng only used them as a test, and they panicked and hid in the fortress. Now, their camp and Yamato Trading Company have been surrounded by us, and I am thinking about how to break through cleverly."

Lu Zhaowu was speechless when he heard this: "Brother Cao Geng, do you know? Because of the storm you stirred up here, the enemy troops in Fu'an, Xiji Fortress, Shuiquan and even as far away as Taiyuan have been alarmed. The war is raging in all directions, and the entire battlefield is in chaos. Alas, what kind of commander you have, what kind of soldiers you have!"

Cao Geng's eyes widened in surprise, "No way? We just borrowed them to practice martial arts, and never intended to cause such a situation."

Lu Zhaowu comforted him, "It's okay. The enemy can't break through. The brigade commander is just confused and sent me to find out the reason."

"That's good. That's good."

Cao Geng responded awkwardly.

Lu Zhaowu then asked: "When can you capture this place? I will go back and report to the brigade commander."

Cao Geng replied: "You should go up and see for yourself. I can't be sure when we can succeed."

Lu Zhaowu climbed up to the high ground with Cao Geng to observe, and his brows knitted in an instant: "Brother Cao Geng, you only have these men and horses. Facing such a solid defense, how are you going to attack?"

Cao Geng smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't this exactly the problem that is bothering me?"

Lu Zhaowu suggested: "How about this! You wait for a moment, I will rush back to the camp immediately and report the situation here to the brigade commander, and ask him to dispatch magic cannons for support."

Upon hearing this, Cao Geng said, "That's a good idea, but it's getting late. By the time the magic cannon arrives, it might be tomorrow."

Lu Zhaowu said, "Tomorrow is better than risking your life. What do you think?"

Cao Geng nodded: "Okay! Then we will besiege here for one night. Remember to tell the brigade commander to send two more companies for reinforcement. My soldiers will guard all night and may not be able to fight tomorrow."

"no problem."

Lu Zhaowu agreed readily, jumped on his horse decisively, and galloped away with two soldiers accompanying him.

Cao Geng conveyed the order on the magic communicator: "Brothers, take turns to rest and eat, hold on here tonight, and wait for the reinforcements to arrive with magic cannons tomorrow."

Not only were the barriers of the Chamber of Commerce impregnable, but even the military fortresses were impregnable.

As a result, the two sides fell into a stalemate, and both were looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements from afar.

However, the earth elf troops can take turns to enjoy meals.

Cao Geng used gold coins to let them have a hearty meal in a high-end restaurant, and then take a comfortable bath in a cozy hotel before returning to change shifts.

Anyway, each shift lasted twelve magic hours, and each person only had to be on duty for six hours. For the remaining six hours, they could sleep comfortably in the inn.

The enemy orcs are in a difficult situation. The Chamber of Commerce has a tall tower where they are hiding. There may also be hidden cooking facilities, so the food problem can be solved.

But it was different in the military camp. Even when night fell, they would sneak out of the perimeter in fear and dare not turn on the lights.

Once the lights are exposed and the head is discovered, life may be lost in an instant.

What was even more hateful was that the earth elves did not cherish the magic crystal cannons at all. As long as there was a glimmer of light, even if they could not see the enemy, they would fiercely bombard the place where the enemy might be hiding.

Many orcs were killed by random artillery fire.

For them, the windows could not withstand the impact of the magic crystal cannon.

When those damn earth elves are in a bad mood, they will just randomly fire a few shots into the window for fun, and the mere fright of them is enough to scare people to death.

These orcs lamented that this war was undoubtedly the most frustrating one, no doubt about it.

In fact, the situation of the orcs in the Chamber of Commerce is not much better.

They lit lights in the tower and light leaked out of the firing holes.

If an Eighth Route Army soldier was in a bad mood or noticed a moving shadow, he would fire two shots into the interior.

This made the orcs dare not approach the heavy magic crystal cannon guards.

This night, on the surface, was as peaceful as water.

In fact, there were undercurrents under Luyang City.

Not all members are trapped in the Chamber of Commerce.

In the settlement area of ​​Orc civilians, members of the Chamber of Commerce and hundreds of rangers gathered for a meeting to plan how to resolve the Chamber of Commerce's predicament.

In fact, although they are in the name of civilians, their strength is extremely powerful.

At this moment, the orc camp was surrounded, and if they wanted to break out, they could only rely on their own strength.

These orc chambers of commerce, after all, are the original Dark Council.

Among them are retired orc warriors and relatives of orcs. Their original intention of joining the Chamber of Commerce is to serve the orc army.

The orc imperialists have brainwashed their people thoroughly, and they are willing to do anything to conquer.

It is no exaggeration to say that in that era, 80% of the women in the Orc Kingdom were willing to become war wives.

In their opinion, they have no other ability, and only in this way can they be loyal to the empire.

Just as these orc rangers were holding a meeting in full swing.

Lu Zhaowu finally rushed back to Dacaozhuang.

After returning to Dacaozhuang, Lu Zhaowu rushed straight to the command post.

At this moment, the kerosene lamps in the command post were flickering dimly, and the three commanders were still at their posts, enduring the long night and handling affairs.

There is no way, the war is everywhere and they have to stay at their posts, it is their duty.

As soon as Lu Zhaowu entered the command post, the brigade commander immediately asked, "Lu Zhaowu, what's going on in Luyang? Is that kid causing trouble there?"

Lu Zhaowu announced: "Brigade Commander, your premonition has come true. Battalion Commander Cao has captured Luyang City."

creak...

When these words came out, it was like thunder, shocking everyone!

The three guards were all dumbfounded.

How is it possible? Did I hear it wrong? That guy only brought 600 people, and he dared to attack the city? And succeeded?

If it were anyone else, the three guards would never believe this even if they were beaten to death.

Brigade Commander Chen said sternly: "Lu Zhaowu, what are the details? Tell me quickly. Didn't that guy plan the tunnel? Why did he turn to attacking the city?"

Lu Zhaowu did not dare to delay and stood there explaining to the three guards.

After hearing this, their faces were filled with disbelief.

Is it really possible?

Oh! Using ghostly enemies to hone your spear skills, those foreign races hid in the military camp?

No one would believe such a thing unless they experienced it with their own eyes.

The commissar asked, "Can you believe such a thing?"

The Chief of Staff chuckled and responded, "Miracles are everywhere with this kid. I'm used to it."

Brigade Commander Chen shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I am also confused. How could I conspire with this guy! This guy never plays by the rules when fighting. Chief of Staff, send a message to the headquarters! Tell them that the source has been found. Oh my God, I was almost scared to death by this kid."

The Chief of Staff chuckled, shook his head, and went to send the message.

They finally breathed a sigh of relief when the source was found.

Lu Zhaowu reminded: "Brigade Commander, Battalion Commander Cao is still waiting for our reinforcements!"

Brigade Commander Chen ordered: "Go, convey my order. The 9th Battalion of the Independent Regiment will leave two companies behind, and the rest of the people will drive all the carriages, load ten thunderstone cannons, and set off to Lu'an City."

"what?"

Lu Zhaowu blurted out: "Why do we need to mobilize all the carriages?"

Brigade Commander Chen glared at him and said, "You'll understand after the battle."

The purpose of driving there was, of course, to load supplies.

"Oh, my memory is so bad..."

Lu Zhaowu patted his head, turned around and galloped away immediately.

The dawn gradually appeared in the sky.

However, what Cao Geng was waiting for was not reinforcements, but the arrival of the ghostly Black Se Society.

Hundreds of ghostly ronin, armed with samurai swords and carrying rifles, marched towards the Chamber of Commerce along the street.

They shouted in unison in the awkward Common Tongue.

"We are civilians, and war should not affect innocent people..."

"We are civilians, and war should not affect innocent people..."

In front and behind, several ghostly reporters followed closely behind, cameras in their hands clicking, recording this scene.

The first person to discover these ghosts was the outer guard Duan Peng.

When he saw this scene, Duan Peng was stunned.

These ghosts were all dressed in civilian clothes, and it was unknown whether they carried weapons, at least they were not visible. The only thing they had was a samurai sword hanging from their waist.

It seems that they are real civilians! If we shoot them, we will be killing unarmed civilians...

If you don't activate the defensive barrier, it will be a catastrophe once they break through the melee range!

Duan Peng had no doubt about the ferocity of these foreign warriors. If they approached him, even if it was a one-on-two fight, he might not be able to withstand their swords.

"Quick, prepare the magic crossbows, and the rest of you should occupy the high ground as much as possible. No one is allowed to cast magic without my order."

Duan Peng shouted loudly in the sound transmission stone.

A captain responded anxiously in the rune stone: "Deputy Legion Commander, what should we do if they attack us?"

Duan Peng roared: "Need more words? Cast the spell and destroy them."

After Duan Peng finished speaking, he shouted at the Fushi: "Brothers of the Rat Clan, brothers of the Rat Clan, what should we do? Hundreds of civilians from the enemy camp are coming."

Cao Geng galloped to the rear without waiting to be called.

After running only half of the magic street, I saw hundreds of fanatical alien civilians, shouting slogans and marching towards this side.

Some of his warriors climbed onto the roofs, while others hid in the streets with their wands in hand, watching these foreigners vigilantly.

At this moment, if these foreigners cause chaos, the warriors on the street will face disaster.

Cao Geng held the rune stone in his hand and said loudly, "Try to avoid using offensive magic. Don't take the initiative to provoke them and see what they will do."

Soon, hundreds of civilians of other ethnic groups came up to Cao Geng.

He quickly led the team to the side of the road to make way for them.

These civilians raised their fists and shouted frantically: "We are civilians, the flames of war should not affect innocent people..."

"We are civilians, and the flames of war should not affect innocent people..."

In this way, they passed by Cao Geng in a mighty procession.

Cao Geng and the soldiers around him had already grasped the double-handled magic pistols.

As long as these foreign civilians dare to attack, they will cast spells without hesitation.

A foreign photographer aimed at Cao Geng and his companions and was about to press the shutter.

Cao Geng raised the magic wand in his hand and said firmly: "If you dare to shoot, I will fight back."
