"Lu Lang, when will you come back when you come out this time." Jing Nianshuang looked at Lu Zhan, who was about to go to the barracks, and said worriedly.

"It's okay, this Song army is just some straw bales, the elite of the Song army has not been able to do anything to me in the capital, this time I went to your brother of the Son of Heaven to fight, and by the way, I just occupied a little land." Lu unfolded a joke to comfort Jing Nianshuang.

However, this battlefield is dangerous, who dares to say that there is no danger at all, and the Italian air marshal can still be shot down by his own anti-aircraft guns.

Thinking of that unlucky marshal, Lu Zhan couldn't help but secretly laugh in his heart.

"Hey, you have to get me back safely, or I'm going to widow you before I get through the door." Huo Lin still said with a big grin.

Lu Zhan smiled and then walked out, got on his war horse and left the Lu family through the back door, all of which was done at dusk. After going out, he found that the sky had darkened, and he took Duan Xiaohan through the streets that were quiet during the day and at night to the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the gate received an order early in the morning that the gate would be closed later tonight, saying that there was a big man to pass through. Although I don't know who it is or what big man is going to leave Yanzhou, it has nothing to do with me, as long as I obey orders.

"I think I've seen the person who left just now." A soldier said as he closed the city gates.

"Come on, that's a big shot, how could you have seen it." The soldier who spoke did not believe what his companion said. After all, this big man is not a small person like himself.

"I didn't tease you, when I led the troops of the Zhi family to attack Yanzhou City before, I seemed to have seen it on the city wall, who is this person I remembered, this seems to be Lord Lu." The soldier finally remembered the somewhat unfamiliar face.

The soldiers on duty were also skeptical, but they didn't dare to talk nonsense about these things, maybe they would be beheaded if the people above knew about it.

Although it was already the hour of the moon, there were still many soldiers with torches standing at the gate of the barracks.

Chen Zhuang was pacing back and forth at the gate of the camp, when suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

"General Chen has worked hard until this time, let's go in now." Lu Zhan turned over and dismounted and handed the horse chew to the soldier beside him.

"What's the hard work to talk about, the lord's tent is ready, come with me."

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Zhan led more than 15,000 people to the territory of the Song Kingdom, and the people who had been sent out to inquire about the intelligence before made the route clear, including which river and where the bridge was appropriate.

It's a pity that the cannibalization of the whale swallowing technique has not yet been carried out, and the main battle will begin, and it is undesirable for the attacker to defeat the opponent's main force in the main battle.

The defenders generally avoided a frontal battle with large armies, just as Russia used its strategic depth to kill the Swedish warrior kings and Napoleon.

On the main hall of the Song Kingdom, the monarch of the Song Kingdom looked at the two documents in his hand, one was luxurious and magnificent, and the other was much simpler.

"Ladies and gentlemen, how is this good, this day the Son of Heaven issued a document to crusade against us, Lu Zhan of Yanzhou has already been prepared, and as soon as this document is released, he has already raided the defenders on the border." The monarch of the Song Kingdom sat on his chair at a loss.

Although a batch of elites were redeemed, Song Guo's actions last year were indeed greatly damaged, and the pressure on the army was overwhelming.

"Why don't we hand over a document to the Son of Heaven asking for guilt, and this Lu Zhan may also retire."

"It's ridiculous, whoever wants to negotiate peace at the moment should be executed."

"Talk about you, adult"

The ministers of the Song State under the hall were in a mess, and the main peace faction and the main battle faction were arguing with each other.

"Shut up to the widows, Lord Tan is right, it is impossible to negotiate peace at the moment, order the whole country to assemble soldiers to prepare for battle, and the general Nie Ziwen will be in command to block the enemy army outside Maiyang City." Ji Qingquan, the monarch of the Song Kingdom, looked at the chattering ministers in the hall and said.

Now that the sword soldiers are approaching, I don't know how powerful the soldiers brought out by Lu Zhan, who is rumored to be a martial artist.

"Lord, according to the information from the front, there are about 60,000 people in this coalition army." The chatter stood up and said.

"Let's talk about Aiqing, how many soldiers do we have to go to the battle." After the Song State suffered that huge loss, there were not many troops that could be mobilized after the troops were stationed in various places.

"More than 70,000 people can be mobilized in the country right now."

"So much?" Monarch Ji Qingquan couldn't believe his ears, there were so many mobile troops he could mobilize.

"Most of these people are temporary recruits, but they are not well trained"

It turns out that these people are not much different from the full number when they go to the battlefield, and it is okay to fight a smooth battle, but if their army is slightly weakened in the battle, then these people will easily retreat.

Although these people are of little use, but something is better than nothing, with the king's order, these people put down their farm work, took up arms and went to the battlefield.

Lu Zhan, who marched steadily all the way, threw off the imperial soldiers and horses behind him, whoever first laid down the materials in the warehouse in the city was the one who had spent a lot of money on scientific research and some reforms in Yanzhou.

"Sure enough, it is better to take by force than by hard work."

"Yes, we have taken down the city these days, and there are really a lot of materials in the treasury of the Libian Mansion."

At this moment, Lu Zhan doesn't speak like a nobleman, and Chen Zhuang doesn't look like a general, but a little like two robbers who have gained a lot.

However, the news from the scouts showed that a large number of Song soldiers were gathering in Maiyang City, and according to the scouts, it was estimated that more than 40,000 people had entered the city.

"Whew! It looks like we're going to have to wait for our allies. When Lu Zhan heard that there were so many enemy troops in front of him, he had to wait for reinforcements.

The commander of the imperial court is an old acquaintance, and Su Xin, as the most potential newcomer in the imperial court, is not only a training but also an accumulation of political capital.

In the barracks in Maiyang City, Ji Qingquan looked at the map hanging on the wall, "Lu Zhan, you are too aggressive, this Su Xin's forward is still a few days away from you." ”

"My lord, are we going to send troops now?"

Ji Qingquan smiled, "We now have more than 50,000 people, and the disparity between the strength of five to one is huge, even if this Lu Zhan's new army can fight us, it can't beat us." ”

At dawn the next day, he was woken up by Chen Zhuang sending someone over, and after walking to the military tent, Lu Zhan knew that the commander of the Song army had taken the initiative to attack, and he could arrive around this afternoon.

"My lord, we have a huge disparity in strength, so it's better to temporarily retreat and wait for General Su's reinforcements to come and fight again." Chen Zhuang said worriedly.

After all, the difference in numbers is here, unless the soldiers under his command can be ten with one.

"No, we're not retreating. Now withdraw and wait for Su Xin to see our jokes? It's time to show off our new weapons and show them what the technological gap is. ”
