Chapter 37 Attacking Lianhua County
When the three men saw Lu Yuan accept the food, they bowed and sat down with happy faces.

You know, these days, there is an endless stream of people who want to make friends with Captain Lu.

But there are only a few people sitting at one table.

Zhou An, Meng Yan and Song Wen were worried that some people might speak without knowing the limits and offend Captain Lu.

Therefore, many people were blocked from the table.

You must get the consent of all three of them before you can sit at this table.

The three of them had worked with Captain Lu for a long time to build relationships with the three people under him before they were able to come to the table.

You know, we are about to attack Lianhua County.

When attacking Qingping County, even though the defense here was empty, officers and soldiers were officers and soldiers, and each of them had undergone much more rigorous formal training than theirs.

They survived a near-death experience. After all their teammates were killed, they managed to kill an officer and were promoted to the position of captain.

Captain Lu is now recognized as the number one person under the brigade commander.

If you can get the other party to remember it and take care of it when attacking the city, you may have a chance of survival.

In such a matter of life and death, a bowl of rice is nothing.

The six of them sat upright, and only picked up their chopsticks and started eating after Lu Yuan invited them to eat together.

The meal was finished quickly.

Outside Qingping County.

Zhao Hu and a dozen sergeants, riding the horses seized from Qingping County, with a faint smell of alcohol on their bodies, headed towards Lianhua County.

Behind him were a group of soldiers wearing armor, carrying weapons and carrying bags.

Barefoot, he followed the dozen or so horseback riders that were not running too fast.

These soldiers had all undergone at least a week of weight-bearing training and had received food supplements from the attack on the county town. At this moment, each of them looked full of energy.

There is a big difference between their spirit and energy compared to those new refugees at that time.

After four days of rapid march, the soldiers led by Zhao Hu arrived at Lianhua County.

After four days of consuming food and grass.

The soldiers' food bags were already empty. They stared ahead with shining eyes and marched faster and faster.

After crossing a few mountains, you will reach Lianhua County.

Along the way, except for meals in the morning and evening, and less than two and a half hours of rest time, they were marching all the time.

So, we arrived even faster than the expected five days.

Along the way, every town we came across was filled with people who were too hungry to walk, leaning against the walls or lying on the ground.

I don't know whether they are people or corpses.

Those who were still able to get up, seeing the bags these people were carrying, would crawl over to take some food from their bags.

They were all driven to the west by the horses' hooves of Zhao Hu and his companions.

The man who was holding the soldier's trouser leg was also kicked away.

They didn't have much food.

The soldiers were even afraid that these people wanted to join them.

You know, there’s just so much food.

If they wanted to keep one more person alive, they would have to take out food supplies from their existing backpacks.

They didn't have much food left to begin with, probably only enough to get to Lianhua County.

Not to mention that there is no point in keeping so many people. If all the food is used up, they themselves won't be able to run to Lianhua County.

If I go hungry for a few days because I have to take care of them, how can I fight against those defenders?

This is a matter of one's own life.

Therefore, even though many people looked at these hungry people and thought of their past selves, they were somewhat touched, but none of them had the intention to stop. In this way, after four days of rapid march, their bags were completely consumed, and they stared at the Lianhua County with shining eyes.

When they were only one mountain away from Lianhua County, Zhao Hu waved his hand and asked everyone to stop.

Looking at these little pawns with glowing eyes, Zhao Hu felt a little proud.

He distributed all the grain in Qingping County, and improved everyone's combat effectiveness.

This little bit of food was deliberately left and distributed so that these soldiers would arrive here just when the food was exhausted.

In this way, they would not lose their fighting power due to hunger, but in order to seize food, they would have to fight desperately to capture the Lianhua County.

It can be said that their combat effectiveness and morale have been maximized.

In this way, it will be more certain to capture the Lianhua County.

Under Zhao Hu's order.

Some soldiers, carrying several felled logs, ran towards the gate of Lianhua County.

Zhao Hu, with a group of pawns behind him, walked slowly forward.

The pawns carrying the huge wood were naturally cannon fodder, and there was not even a captain-level one.

Their role is to break open the city gate of Lianhua County.

But even these cannon fodder soldiers now look very different from when they attacked Qingping County.

Carrying the huge wood, the bare feet with yellow soles took neat steps and soon they crashed into the tall city wall again and again, against the shouts from the people above.

Lu Yuan was standing behind his personal guards and in front of all the soldiers.

Considering his fighting ability that could fight against the imperial court's elite troops, Zhao Hu was reluctant to let him carry wood and ram the city gate again.

Lu Yuan is like a green pine tree standing on the ground, standing straight.

It seems that there is no expression on his face.

But if you look closely at his eyes, you can see some ferocity in them.

[Host: Lu Yuan]

[Superpowers: Immortality/Infinite Strength]

【Attributes:
Strength: 320】

After running for four days, the food was finished yesterday.

Now, it is past noon.

He hadn’t eaten in the morning, and his “infinite strength” superpower had just given him an extra ten kilograms of strength.

His stomach felt as if it was twisted into a knot.

When his strength exceeded 300 kilograms, the amount of food he needed to consume seemed to be much greater than before.

Now he weighs 320 kilograms, and for two days he couldn't feel much fullness after eating.

Now, his stomach felt as if it had been drained dry.

The hunger kept coming.

There is nothing in his head right now.

Just eat!
Let’s capture this Lianhua County, find a rich family, and give them a good meal!
Seeing that the huge trees finally broke open the city gate, Lu Yuan took a step forward and rushed forward without waiting for Zhao Hu's order.

The muscles on his back bulged, and his pair of thick yellow-soled legs made a "crackling" sound as they stepped on the hard ground. In a short period of time, he even ran ahead of the horses of Zhao Hu and others who were also running.

Zhao Zheng looked at the figure running with strong wind, his face gloomy.

At this speed, he couldn't keep up!

Zhao Hu laughed and said:
"Good! Captain Lu, you are so brave. I will give you credit for your great contribution in capturing Lianhua County this time!"

After saying that, he gave the order and rode on horseback, taking all his personal soldiers and minions with him, and rushed towards the county town whose gates were already wide open.
