This is also something that Yu Wang did not expect.

'What kind of prince will Xiang Ning?'

But what he said came true, like Lu Fan and others relied on military merits to rank the title of marquis, and it was everywhere overnight.

Perhaps it was providence that the front collapsed at the moment when the army had not yet stepped into the battlefield, and thus avoided an inevitable rout.

The rout at the front line has led to the displacement of large numbers of people, and there are refugees fleeing the fighting, often seeing soldiers fleeing the fighting.

During this time, tens of thousands of soldiers fled scattered, and because the fleeing soldiers walked along the way to avoid Luo Yun's barbarian soldiers, a large number of soldiers fled to the northwest.

In just over ten days, Lu Fan's army had expanded to more than 80,000 people, so the original grain and grass immediately became seriously insufficient.

Through the news obtained by the soldiers who retreated from the front line, after the imperial front was broken, due to the fear of the bravery of the Luo Yun barbarian army, they did not know the news from all external parties, and the fortress either avoided the battle and waited for reinforcements.

or rush to send troops, and the army will be defeated and the city will be broken.

The original eight cities with interlaced canine teeth are now only two fortresses in the northwest that are still being defended, with less than 100,000 troops.

However, the defense had been broken through, so for a while, Luo Yun, a city far away in the northwest, did not attack immediately.

It's just that the two cities that are now frightened have been completely closed to the city, and they dare not attack rashly, nor do they refuse to accept the soldiers who are rushing in, and they only hope that the grain can hold on for a long time, until Luo Yun's grain and grass are exhausted and the army is withdrawn.

At this point, everyone knew that although the land on the front line had fallen, the army had not been completely annihilated, and although there were heavy casualties, there were still remnants of the army, but they were afraid of the enemy's bravery, and did not dare to meet the enemy's front.

Now that the front line has been broken, Lu Fan will camp his army in Yunxiao Mansion, Nanping Mansion, Shilou Mansion, Pingquan Mansion, Qinghe Mansion and other places.

Yunxiao, Shilou, Qinghe and other mansions are easy to defend and difficult to attack and Nanping, Pingquan and other mansions are intertwined, each other is a link, once one side is attacked, both sides can be rescued, each other is a horn, depending on the mountain, even if 100,000 Luo Yun troops come to attack the city, Lu Fan is also confident to hold the city.

If it weren't for the fact that the dragons had no leader, and each theater had its own battalion, how could the 400,000 Luo Yun Army easily break through the frontier defense that the empire had operated for many years, not to mention that there were still 600,000 elite divisions of the empire.

Although the actual fighting army was only more than 400,000, the enemy was not all combat troops, and still had the upper hand in numbers.

The time and place are favorable, but just because people are the same, the defeat is decided.

Now there are only 150,000 barbarians here, and 50,000 soldiers are unable to move in order to ensure the military needs of the Luoyun army in the south, and the remaining 100,000 are still divided into some of the emperors who pay attention to the remaining two cities.

Now the only one who can attack Lu Fan's army is only a few tens of thousands, and now Lu Fan's army has nearly 100,000, and Lu Fan is the supreme commander, and the guards of each city are Lu Fan's henchmen, and this time Lu Fan asked Liu Yan Yuying's people to raise grain and grass from all over the country.

Lu Fan is now sitting in Qinghe Mansion, looking at the information sent every day, he feels a big head.

The imperial capital is now in chaos, and the armies near the Heavenly City are surging towards the imperial capital to resist Luo Yun's invasion.

The only thing Lu Fan can do now is to disrupt the enemy's rear and cut off the supply to the front, and then the enemy will be in chaos.

The four major families of the Luo Yun Empire are not of the same mind, and the Luo Yun Empire also has different views on the war of the Shang Empire.

'The Luo Yun Empire is vast and sparsely populated, and now the strength of the Shang Empire has accounted for half of the country's military strength. Lu Fan thought.

Fingers keep tapping on the table,

Dangerous!

Opportunity!

After a while, several secret orders came out of Lu Fan's tent.

In this cold season, everything is so quiet.

A month later, in the territory of the Rolling Cloud Empire, a snowy field saw giant birds flying in the sky from time to time, and a group of people were marching behind the snow hills.

Second, there is no cold light iron clothing on this group of people, but the corners of the clothes that blow from time to time in the cold wind can see the polished leather armor.

Although this group of people in the snow is very eye-catching, they are all inaccessible everywhere they pass.

A month ago, an army of 10,000 people was sent to move around in the control area, and Lu Fan personally led 8,000 cavalry to rush straight into Luoyun in two ways, and there were flying horses in the sky to find out the situation, so that the ground army could easily bypass the crowd of the Luoyun Empire.

This time, Lu Fan's purpose is very clear, not to clash head-on, but to attack and harass the imperial capital of the Luoyun Empire.

Anyone who saw Lu Fan's pair of men and horses along the way had been buried in the ground, and the army's supplies were mainly based on looting remote villages, and every village was slaughtered for the sake of secrecy.

In this cold winter, there is very little contact between each village, and even if it is discovered, Lu Fan will fake the scene as if the village has been attacked by wild beasts.

The journey was also smooth, Lu Fan and the others' army had just passed through the enemy's vice-capital, except for a few troops on the border defense along the way, which caused great difficulties, and the rest of the time was just marching in the wilderness.

The Shang Empire has a tradition of worshipping the heavens, and the same is true of the Luo Yun Empire, but Luo Yun calls it a 'heavenly gift'.

And the tradition of the past dynasties is that the emperor presides, Lu Fan originally wanted to raid, let Luo Yun cause ** internally, delay the process of front-line combat, and even withdraw the army.

However, now he has to retreat, Lu Fan just got the news, the whereabouts of the other team are **, and they are breaking through the siege back, attacking the city and plundering the land along the way, and when they encounter a city with few defenders, they will capture it, and they will not stop, just leave a fire.

If you encounter a lot, you will take a detour and do not fight with them.

Now Lu Fan is ready to go back, Lu Fan will still not choose the method of hitting the stone with an egg, once the army passes through the vice capital, Lu Fan is ready to wreak havoc and cause as much damage to Luo Yun as possible.

The vice-capital is a satellite imperial city thousands of miles away from the Luoyun Imperial Capital.

There are a total of twelve such cities around the imperial capital, and the heavenly land of the imperial capital this year is three hundred miles north of the vice capital.

The defenses there had now become so tight that even the flying horses were almost discovered, and they were more than a hundred miles away.

Lu Fan led the army to retreat, looking at this white and vast world, this thousand-mile attack has not achieved the expected effect now.

The giant bird in the sky suddenly rose into the sky.

I just learned that for some reason, the city defense army of the deputy capital all went north, leaving an empty city to defend the void, although the city has been **, but the deputy capital can be described as an empty city.

"Order, go fast, before dark!" Lu Fan said in a loud voice.

Lu Fan looked back at the elf spirit on the side and said, "There's something I want to ask you for...... ＂

A few hours later, the army marched straight to the city gate, after the sound of the arrow, the city gate slowly opened, leaving only dozens of corpses on the ground, blood smeared on the ground, and the soldiers defending the city farther forward rushed to the city gate, but were blocked by the green thorn wall in front of the city gate, which was hundreds of meters long and several zhang high.

Just cut but grew out, greatly hindered the reinforcement of the soldiers defending the city, at this moment Lu Fan led the army has entered the city, and the defenders of the city have exchanged fronts, the general of the city guards is furious, seeing that the city gate has been opened, looking up to the sky and roaring, the face is hideous, and the giant hammer in his hand is slammed towards the elf in the center of the city gate.

Just as the giant hammer quickly approached the elf, the ground under the elf's feet quickly broke open and grew emerald green wattles, which grew madly upward in a spiral cross, and in the blink of an eye, the elf was protected in the middle.

The giant hammer struck the rattan and was flung away from its original direction by the frantically spinning rattan, smashing a huge crater into the wall face. The wattle circle was also smashed out of a huge pit.

The general defending the city held a big sword, opened his bow left and right, and slashed several people in a row, attacking the elf at a hundred meters in front of him, and suddenly the sound of arrows breaking through the air, the life of this brave general was permanently frozen at that moment.

The crossbow bolt feathers in his throat were already dyed red, and at last the brave man was reluctant to bow his brown head.

This battle was extremely hard, and the battle lasted until dark, and finally Lu Fan took the City Lord's Mansion.

You must know that the number of the enemy is only less than 300 people, and they can last until dark, taking advantage of the street fighting to block Lu Fan's attack.

Lu Fan knew that everything was left behind, so after occupying the city, Lu Fan would just ** the two city gates in the north, allowing the panicked people and the soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit to flee south.

However, the chaotic populace fled desperately southward, while the army fought to the end and refused to retreat.
