In the past two days, the spies have been exploring the periphery, but the news is extremely depressing, and there is no trail to detour to the rear of Shimen Town.

The news came that the army of the Yundu Empire had withdrawn to less than two hundred kilometers away from Shimen Town, and the vanguard force could reach the fifty kilometers of Shimen Town at any time.

"The order went down, and the army retreated a kilometer and stationed against the mountain. They will wait for reconnaissance to the periphery of the barracks, taking the 5-kilometer perimeter of the army as a radial radiating reconnaissance. Lu Fan said to the herald beside him.

"No!" the soldier took the order.

Lu Fan turned around and walked down the ridge, and suddenly saw a young man around the corner, who was respectful to Lu Fan, and said: "Young master, the stone gate is heavily guarded, and now the ordinary people in the city have been grounded, if people are mixed in, it may be difficult to succeed, and the people in the city have been registered, if suddenly there are more people, they will definitely be noticed." ”

"Yes, the army of the Yundu Empire is really not to be underestimated. Lu Fan empathizes, in the past two days, Lu Fan has already taken a flying ride and observed the deployment of Shimen Town from a high altitude.

In front of Shimen Town, Wang Sheng, Wang Gude, several generals led the army to scold in front, shouting and saying something unpleasant.

As soon as the army advanced, flints were fired from the city, so that the army did not make any real progress except for scolding.

In the barracks, Lu Ying and the elves were together, and the paladin was also on the side, but Liu Yan Yuying didn't know where she went.

The paladin looked at the elf and said, "In the past few days, have you felt a different aura in the barracks, but it is floating, and whenever you want to probe, it will disappear inexplicably." You are an elf, and you should be more sensitive to this sense of nature. ”

"There are some things, there is no need to dig to the end, knowing that its breath is very pure, and that is enough. Our elven clan does not interfere with the essence of cultivation between heaven and earth, let alone the pure essence. The elf didn't look too surprised.

"What are you talking about, why haven't I heard?" Lu Ying tilted her head and said, the fingering in her hand was still changing, and she learned it well.

Walking on the road, Lu Fan was thinking a lot, and was struggling about how to solve the problem in front of him, when suddenly he stumbled under his feet, somersaulted, and almost didn't fall, and saw that a green grass on the ground was glowing, but it was extremely weak.

It was the essence of that day that always stuck to Lu Fan, although there was no progress in cultivation, but he became closer and closer to Lu Fan, and he had no problem with Lu Fan.

The follower Lu Fan cultivated, and when Lu Fan absorbed the aura of heaven and earth, he secretly absorbed the aura of heaven and earth to cultivate.

···

Two days later, Lin Li and Liu Yan Yuying's army met in front of Shimen Town.

Lin Li led the army to attack the rear of the Yundu Empire, and Liu Yan Yuying was sent by Lu Fan to attack and harass the rebels of the princes, and the two armies could also be horns for each other to help each other when necessary.

This surprise attack in the rear had little effect, Lin Li ambushed the army on the road that the Yundu Empire must pass, intending to raid, but unexpectedly, the patrol troops in the enemy's sky saw the dust on the ground, something strange, and detected the ambush and made preparations in advance.

On the other hand, Liu Yan Yuying was successful, and the rebel army was defeated along the way, and the rebels met the imperial soldiers, and they didn't even have the slightest resistance to resist.

These princes usually lean into each other, intriguing with each other, and even if they now form an alliance and defect from the empire, they are still in their own camps, and they are calculating their own interests.

Although there are nearly 10,000 people now, in front of Liu Yanyuying's Yanzi camp, they seem very fragile and defeated all the way.

And Lin Li's stone camp was really ferocious, and when the Yundu Imperial army was prepared, it engaged the enemy's retreating vanguard troops, although it did not take advantage, but it did not fall behind at all.

The retreating army of the Yundu Empire and Lin Li are sticking to each other, and it is difficult to inseparable, and the Yanzi battalion that is chasing the enemy here is also coming from behind, and finally the rout of the alliance of the princes has messed up the position of the Yundu army, and this also makes the battle situation of the stone camp stalemate change in an instant, and the enemy slowly retreats.

This gave Lin Li's army a chance to withdraw from the battlefield, and the fighter plane was fleeting, and the two did not love to fight and immediately withdrew their troops.

But what I didn't expect was that when I withdrew to Shimen, I found that the army that had been scattered, and after understanding, I learned that now Shimen Town has changed hands, and now Lu Fan and the army have occupied the city, and the city has been recaptured.

The two armies joined forces and quickly rushed to Shimen Town, and even the remnants of the enemy army on the road were too lazy to clean up.

Lu Fan had already learned from the eyes of the spies in the sky that when the Shiying and Yanzi battalions returned, they had already ordered someone to open the city gate to let the army enter the city.

A few days ago, after the Shiren Battalion and the Yanzi Battalion left, Lu Fan divided the army into two places and stationed them, giving the enemy the illusion that they were scattered, and the enemy thought that the imperial army had been scattered at this time according to the news sent back by the spies in the Lu Fan military camp, and it was an army that was a great achievement.

For such an army, the vanguard of the Yundu Empire on the periphery attacked the defenders in Shimen before and after, intending to completely annihilate this scattered army, Peng Qing and the Wang brothers fought with Yundu in the southeast outside the gate of Shimen Town, and the Shimen defenders sent a thousand troops to attack the rest of Lu Fan, and Lu Fan led his troops to fight the stalemate between the two armies.

Lu Fan sent hundreds of troops to defend laxly, climbed the rock and climbed the wall to break into Shimen Town.

In a moment, the sound of killing on the city wall shook the sky, the dead soldiers outside the city did not know why, they did not know how to advance or retreat, and in a moment the gate of the stone gate city wall was fully opened, but there was a group of people standing, each of them was bloody, and the heroic and bandit spirit of the rivers and lakes between the eyebrows loomed.

The army entered the city, changed the flag and changed the flag, sounded the horn to show its meaning, saw the city gate change hands, the enemy army was in chaos, and the battle and broke to the distance to flee, Lu Fan led the army to pursue and cover the kill, and won a big victory.

Later, the army led by Peng Qing and other troops in one place, defeated the outnumbered with the crowd, defeated the Yundu ambush soldiers, and fought chaotically, and the magic arrow company led by Peng Qing shot and killed the enemy's main general, wounding the enemy's deputy general, resulting in a great defeat of the enemy, and beheading more than 1,900 enemies.

Although this battle was a hard battle, it was a little less than the expected hardship, with hundreds of self-inflicted losses, but more than thousands of enemies were killed, which can be described as a great victory.

After entering the city, I knew that the main merit of this battle was a surprise attack in the city, and this merit was a move to protect the country as a family by sacrificing his life and forgetting to die, and this move was a secret contact between the people in the rivers and lakes, which was suitable for the army to attack and recapture the lost fortress.

The city was in a mess, more than 200 enemy troops in Yundu were killed, and hundreds of people in the rivers and lakes were killed and wounded, and the damage was almost twice that of the enemy army.

The world of rivers and lakes, the same purpose, different ways.

Now the soldiers are combined with the stone gate, and the stone gate is firmly guarded like an iron wall, and the water is impassable, so that the enemy reinforcements cannot pass, and the enemy is trapped in the pass.

War is always accompanied by many problems, such as the supply of grain and grass, etc., the real problem is that there are only more than 1,000 people in Shimen all year round, but there are nearly 20,000 people in Lu Fan's department, and the food consumption is more than ten times that of the usual preparations.

If it is not properly handled, I am afraid that the enemy's army will not arrive, and our own army will be in chaos.

The two factions are different from each other, and Lu Fan has received several letters from the rear to pursue the Yundu rout.

The letter may say that now the enemy's retreat has been cut off, and there is no way to escape. As the old saying goes: Trapped beasts are still fighting, not to mention well-trained Yundu enemy troops. Therefore, it is hoped that Lu Fan will let some of the enemies escape.

Or Lu Fan should take the initiative to attack and meet the enemy's reinforcements. Or they should not let go of the enemy army and annihilate the enemy in one fell swoop...

As mentioned in the above letter, Lu Fan and others are worried, and if they are surrounded and annihilated, the casualties will inevitably be even heavier.

If you want to leave a glimmer of life and let it flee in other directions, the casualties will be greatly reduced, and the annihilation will be much easier.

However, the responsibility for not completely annihilating the enemy lies with Lu Fan, and if he passes on the way to escape the army, it can also be said that Lu Fan is responsible.

If you take the initiative to attack, you may also be annihilated, and for a time the army can not be sure whether to pursue or not, so you have to stay at Shimen.

Therefore, Lu Fan just stood still, and the stragglers in Shimen City were regrouped and stood on the top of the mountain, but he didn't care, but he just closed the city and didn't come out.

The next day, the army assembled with 4,000 men led by Lin Li and 3,000 light cavalry led by Peng Qing, and each set off straight to the two acropolis of Tamu and Simba, the nearest to Shimen.

The three cities form horns with each other, watch each other, and resist the enemy with half the effort.

It not only shared the strength of Shimen, solved the pressure of grain and grass, but also made Shimen more stable, which was the result of the discussion of the generals.

In view of the importance of this matter, let Lin Li and Peng Qing lead their own troops and take the two cities.

The elite generals under his command were selected by him, Lin Li chose his old partner Wang Sheng as the deputy general, Peng Qing chose a vanguard commander as the deputy general, and many unknown young officers formed an army.

During this period, according to the report of the signal corps, both armies successfully conquered the two cities.

According to the news found by the dead soldiers in the sky, both armies have captured two cities, Tamu and Simba are under the control of the two of them, but the price is not small, they are nearly 100 dead and wounded.
