Lu Zheng immediately made a decision and let go. Since he had a decision, he had to act quickly and there was absolutely no room for delay.

It has to be said that Lu Zheng's arbitrary dictatorship has had a huge impact on the army. The generals who were ready to try are naturally very excited, but many civil servants and advisers were confused and secretly sweating for Lu Zheng!

The most unfavorable factor for the Liaodong Army was the shortage of food and grass, and the army has not yet opened up to the depth in the Central Plains. The army of Cao Weiming and Tan Lei has already reached Huazhou.

In terms of combat power, the Liaodong Army will definitely have an absolute advantage, but if Tan Lei and Cao Weiming do not seek merit, but only seek no mistakes, even if they defend the city, the test for the Liaodong Army will be huge!

After all, the Liaodong Army now only has ten days of military rations, and can it achieve success in one battle within ten days?

Fortunately, Lu Zheng has very good control over civil and military officials. Since Lu Zheng Gan Gang has made arbitrary decision on this matter, there is nothing to say. No matter what everyone has to do, they now have to work together for the same goal and win this battle at all costs.

Lu Zheng ordered the general and arranged for General Liu Song to lead 30,000 troops as the vanguard and head straight to Huazhou City. Lu Zheng himself led a large army to follow him, allowing Kuang Zi and Xiao Ran to attack Wangzhou in two directions to defend against enemies that might come from Wangzhou. All arrangements should be made. Lu Zheng ordered to set off overnight, and the army did not delay the army heading straight to Huazhou for a moment.

Lu Zheng made up his mind to fight quickly and decide quickly. Time did not stand on his side. More importantly, Cao Weiming's army had just arrived in Huazhou. His army came from afar and had not yet established a stable foothold. If he did not take advantage of this opportunity and wait for Cao Weiming to fully gain a foothold in Huazhou, Lu Zheng would get half the result with twice the effort if he wanted to take Huazhou again.

Two hundred miles from Miaocheng to Huazhou, Lu Zheng drove out overnight until dawn and camped in the dense forest and hid his whereabouts. In this way, after two nights of rapid march, Liu Song's vanguard army finally arrived at the foot of Huazhou.

After arriving in Huazhou City, Liu Song asked someone to log wood to build siege vehicles overnight, and Cao Weiming was preparing for military affairs in Huazhou City!

Huazhou City has never been a major military city, so it lacks combat readiness here all year round. In addition, the city is not big, and the entire city is only 30,000 to 50,000 people. A city suddenly has tens of thousands of people, so it is not easy to settle down.

His greater test is to quickly build the city, organize defense, and quickly arrange the materials to defend the city, because he knew very well that Lu Zheng would definitely come to Huazhou.

He and Lu Zheng are already old rivals. They have been dealing with each other for many years. What kind of role is Lu Zheng? How difficult this guy is to deal with him is so clear!

Cao Weiming has not been smooth in the Central Plains over the years, and has been surviving in the cracks. All his strength is limited. This time, he volunteered to send troops to Huazhou, which was a helpless move, because he knew better than anyone else that the reason why there was no end to the nest was destroyed.

If Lu Zheng really takes over the Central Plains, Cao Weiming will never have a place to stand in the cone from now on. Compared to this, although Tan Lei is not easy to deal with, it will be extremely difficult for Tan Lei to eat Cao Weiming in one bite in the Central Plains. More importantly, Lu Zheng is very young and Tan Lei is already aged!

If politics is patience and energy consumption, Cao Weiming is sure to consume Tan Lei, but can he consume Lu Zheng? Lu Zheng is much younger and much more powerful than Tan Lei, so Lu Zheng is the real threat to survival.

Cao Weiming was a man of knowledgeable military affairs, so after he arrived in Huazhou, he placed important work on defending the city. Although the troops had not been completely settled, he had quickly mobilized manpower to re-strengthen the city wall.

Moreover, the wood, rolling stones, oil, lime and other materials that guarded the city should have been arranged on the city wall by him. Just as he was busy arranging the city to defend the city, the scout came to report that Lu Zheng's army had arrived outside the city.

Cao Weiming took a deep breath and shouted, "Is this fast? The man surnamed Lu is so crazy. Even the cavalryman is trying his best! Let's go and follow me to the city to take a look!"

After climbing the Huazhou City Tower, Cao Weiming indeed saw the camp outside the city from afar. There were countless flags waving in the military tent, and the big "williao" embroidered on the flags.

"Liu Song was the vanguard himself. At this glance, there were 30,000 troops! What should be coming finally came! There is nothing to say about the current plan. Each general takes his place and prepares to fight to the death!" Cao Weiming shouted, his eyes wide open, his face full of evil spirits, and he paused, and continued, "Come on, put on my armor, and from today on, I will cheer me up if I don't retreat or remove my armor!"

Cao Weiming put on his armor and stood on the city tower. After about a cup of tea, he heard the sound of a sudden trumpet in the distance. Liu Song's cavalry came from afar. Behind the cavalry were more than a dozen siege cars and catapults, and there were also cavalry carrying sand, gravel and soil. They were obviously preparing to build a high platform under the city wall. This battle was a death-death battle from the beginning, and Lu Zheng had no way out for himself.

Liu Song stepped on the war horse, raised the spear in his hand high, and said, "Did you see it, brothers? Huazhou is in front of me! I have already issued a military order in front of the prince. I must break the city within three days. If I cannot break the city, I am willing to do military law!

Since it is a military order, there is nothing to say. You will follow me all the time. If I die, you will die! We all died under this Huazhou. We must also step on Huazhou and open the iron gate to the Central Plains for our Liaodong Iron Cavalry!"

Liu Song's instructions only made the Liaodong army soldiers excited. All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Break the city, break the city, break the city!"

Tens of thousands of people shouted, and the sound shook the world. Liu Song waved his hand and led the army to rush down the city! The siege cars under the city were at the front, and then there were cavalry carrying mud and sand. The cavalry were all wearing armor and hid behind the horses. Everyone had a bow in their hands. The rain of arrows above the city blocked the city, and the iron armored horse blocked the road, and then rushed to the city with arrows.

After arriving at the city, the cavalry used their bows to diffuse the city walls, and the horses unloaded the sand and gravel. Then the cavalry began to attack the siege vehicles forcibly. The cavalry followed closely behind them, from cavalry to infantry, were as dense as ants, and continued one after another.

Cao Weiming is a veteran of the battlefield for a long time. The so-called expert knows if there is any one. As soon as Liu Song's siege army pounced under the city wall, his heart hangs up, knowing that he has encountered a tough guy today!

He immediately ignored nothing and ordered the archers to shoot arrows wildly. Then the wood and stones on the top of the city were greeted by oil and lime. The attacking party was not afraid of death, and continued to do its best, and the defending party also did its best.

In almost an hour, there were corpses everywhere under Huazhou City. Although there were fewer casualties and injuries on the side of the city guarding the city, they were also in a mess. Those who fell to the ground by arrows, those who were killed by soldiers attacked on the top of the city, and even those who were injured by their own wooden rolling stones and tinder oil.

Cao Weiming personally commanded the death to fight on the top of the city. Facing the opponent's rounds of fierce attacks, Cao Weiming was extremely frightened. With this posture in front of him, how could Huazhou City be defended? It could not be defended at all!

Finally, the opponent's offensive was suspended a little. Cao Weiming came down from under the city wall. He immediately ordered the strategists to enter the tent to discuss matters and said straight to the point:

"The thief is fierce. Let me write a letter to General Tan and ask him to come quickly to help him, telling him that Lu Zheng's army of 100,000 has surrounded Huazhou and that my tens of thousands of soldiers guarding the city cannot defend it for three days!"

At the order of Cao Weiming, the people below immediately wrote a letter and passed it out. In order to ensure the smooth delivery of the letter, more than 20 pigeons were released in one breath.

After passing the news, Cao Weiming immediately asked about the city's defense. At this time, he could only use harsh moves. If there were not enough soldiers, he summoned civilians to strengthen the city's defense overnight. In addition, tincture oil, lime and other things must be prepared overnight, and there must be no reservation at all.

It has to be said that today's battle was too hasty, and it was a bit chaotic for Cao Weiming. In the hasty, he could not fully implement the city defense now, because when he was deploying the city defense, he immediately received an urgent report that the city gates on Huazhou City, east, west, south, north and west were attacked by the enemy, and the East and South Gate were in a hurry.

Hearing this news, Cao Weiming felt cold inside, and his hair was standing up all over his body. He had no intention of discussing matters in the tent. He immediately rushed out of the tent with his spear and shouted: "Now, I'll put up the city walls for me, and I'll keep it until dark, and I'll talk about all major events after dark!

Remember, Huazhou City is broken, this is the burial place for all of us. Lu Zheng is the most ruthless and he will never leave any survivors!

In addition, we must also tell the people in the city that Huazhou is destroyed and all people die, so that the people must prepare. If the city is not guarded, no one can survive!"

Cao Weiming was almost roaring, but when he saw his eyes flushed, he almost sprayed like fire, and looked very scary. At this time, he was really red-eyed.

Like him, Liu Song was also furious outside the city! Seeing his soldiers rushing up one after another, fearlessly rushing up, but even if Huazhou City could not be broken, he was so anxious that he was only angry, and beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead fell.

"Damn it, this man named Cao is really a corner. I haven't liked him before! Let me hear it all. We will advance and retreat in this battle. I will go to it myself!"

After Liu Song finished speaking, he was about to charge on the war horse, and was immediately pulled by several personal guards. For a moment, the soldiers in the tent changed their colors.

"General, you are the main general in the center. This battle is related to the life and death of both of us. How can the main general rush to the front line so hasty? If so, the prince must be severely punished!"
