In the past, when the Imperial army had not been defeated, the subject countries had nothing to fear.

But these defeats, as well as the rebellion of Sanmen and Tumen, made the hearts of the other small vassal states waver.

Now the Imperial Army is in dire need of a victory to boost morale and give people hope.

It's just that the empire is now in crisis, but the empire is in its own camp, dominating one side, and no one is willing to fight for their lives when their own interests are not touched.

The Great Shang Empire was already under enemy on all sides, and almost at the same time there were powerful countries such as Shengla, Yundu, Meng, and Luoyun.

The constant rebellion of the vassal states, the county kings who dominate one side everywhere have become too big to lose, and the emperor, the true son of heaven, is weak and difficult to return.

It is rumored that the Luo Yun Empire has encroached on the territory of the empire and has crossed the Tianling Mountains, but the empire is helpless, but it just keeps retreating to reduce casualties.

Relying on the terrain and natural hazards, defend the fortress and defend against the Luoyun Empire.

It is also thanks to the people of Luo Yun who are barbarians, who already have endless territory, and do not have the heart to expand their territory, but just want to obtain wealth and materials.

However, due north of the empire, the Mongolian nomadic people often suddenly attacked the territory of the empire, and when the emperor Chongzuo was in the past, the empire was strong, and even if the Mongolian country attacked and disturbed, they did not dare to be too presumptuous.

But now it is said that half a month ago, a surprise attack was complete, and it was actually driven straight in, and it was only 800 miles away from the imperial capital that it encountered the imperial resisting army.

After that, a fierce battle drove back the captives, but even so, it made the Celestial Empire shake and lose face.

After that, more than a dozen military and political officials in the states and counties west of the empire were dismissed, and there were even governors of the Qingzhou Legion, who were deposed and exiled for the crime of inaction.

He even killed several important generals for the crime of collaborating with the enemy.

Most of them are elderly officials and generals, and there are several who have made great contributions.

However, it is easy to make meritorious contributions, but it is difficult to keep meritorious service, and it is easy to defend meritorious service.

At night, the moon hangs high in the sky, and the sky is rare and no longer gloomy, but it is cold and tight, and he can't stretch out his hands.

Lu Fan didn't bother, thinking of finding an opportunity to inform the county lord of last night's events.

I think that as long as the vigilance is strengthened, there will definitely be no disruption.

At midnight, I suddenly heard the lights outside the barracks, and the roar of the iron horsemen approached the other side of the mountain.

In the tent, Lu Fan asked angrily: "Where did the army come from?

For a time, the generals in the army were silent, and no one answered.

"It seems to have appeared suddenly from the north and south sides of the west, and the details of the enemy are unknown at present, but it is known that there are cavalry." A rough estimate of the number will not be less than two thousand"

Lu Fan took the case and said, "Is there any news about the soldiers sent back to the city, does the county lord know the situation here?"

A general came out and said: "The soldiers have returned, the city gate is closed and cannot be entered, it seems that there is turmoil in the city!"

As it sees, it seems that this surprise attack must be prepared, and at this moment is when Gretok's forces are at their weakest, and there must be an internal response within the city.

Although there are 1,000 soldiers in the city to protect the city, it seems impossible to come to the aid again.

"The soldiers are all assembled and ready to be on standby!" Wang Sheng said.

This time, the army led by Lu Fan, in addition to the 1,000 people in the Yanzi battalion under Liu Yan Yuying, and more than 500 people under Wang Sheng, there are still more than 1,400 people who can fight along the way.

Lu Fan walked out of the tent, looked at the army gathered on the flat ground, and said loudly: "Soldiers, defend the family and defend the country! The time has come to make meritorious contributions! We are no worse than any team in the empire, and we will let the self-proclaimed elite imperial army see our strength in this battle!"

"Cheer!" the soldiers shouted in unison, raising their spears and waving them in the air. The sound resounded through the world!

"This battle! Courage will be rewarded! Cowardice will be punished! Soldiers have proved that your chance has come! What is your ideal?" Lu Fan said angrily

"Kill the enemy! Make meritorious service! Marry a wife!" The soldiers said in unison, and their voices were extremely loud.

Lu Fan glared at Wang Sheng, wanting to scold his mother.

On weekdays, he used to say to his soldiers, 'Marry a wife!', so much so that on such an occasion, he said such a sentence.

Wang Sheng was also so ashamed that his face was flushed.

"For the ideal!" Lu Fan raised his arms and exhaled, as long as he could arouse morale, he couldn't care so much.

As soon as the morale was raised, they began to send troops to meet the enemy, and the soldiers have now been replaced, and the armor sent by the county lord is not comparable to the past.

There were more than 100 horses, forming a cavalry.

The Yanzi camp led by Liu Yan Yuying was like a stream of flames blocking the other party's way forward.

More than 1,000 people stood on the hillside, and in a hurry, there was no time to arrange an ambush, so they could only rely on the favorable terrain for a hard battle.

Yu and Rod led people into the jungle to protect Lu Ying's safety.

Occupying the favorable terrain, they climbed high and looked far away to find that the enemy's nearly 7,000 men were overwhelmingly pressed from the snow forest and hills.

Lu Fan was filled with anger in his heart, how did the enemy evade the detection of the county lord's people, and quietly transferred the army to the opposite side of the river.

You must know that the gentle places where you can cross the river are patrolled by secret sentinels, and once there is a disturbance, it will be reported immediately.

The enemy army advanced in three directions, and when it was a mile away from Lu Fan's army, the Chinese army stopped, and the left army and the right army outflanked from both sides, and advanced to attack the city, and retreated to flank Lu Fan's army in front and rear.

In a head-on battle, his own thousand people are definitely not the enemy's opponent, not to mention the two armies on the flanks.

If you attack, you have no chance of winning, and if you retreat, you lose morale.

The team was gathering and wanted to engage the enemy head-on, but unexpectedly, there were so many enemies.

Lu Fan couldn't help coughing, spat a few mouthfuls of spit, held a spear in his hand and went straight to the left army to the west, and shouted: "Chong... ！！”

Taking the lead, he led his troops to rush towards the other side, and the soldiers behind him rushed to the west like a torrent that broke the embankment.

The enemy may be too confident to despise the miscellaneous soldiers of this thousand empires. Perhaps it was the importance of the city of Gretok that it was eager to meet with the city and capture it.

The Chinese army divided into 1,000 troops to pursue, and then the Chinese army and the right army continued to press on Geltokcheng.

In the dark night, Lu Fan took the lead and quickly approached the left army, only five hundred meters.

Suddenly, there was a whooshing sound in the sky, and countless firelight stars pierced the starry sky, dragging a long tail flame to illuminate the night.

The 'puff puff' fire illuminates the snow in front of you, which is the enemy's positioning arrow!

Lu Fan urgently reined in the horse, and the horse stepped on the snow for nearly ten meters before stopping.

If you look closely, the range of the enemy's crossbow arrows is the same as that of the empire, and it is no wonder that the original dependent countries are all of the scholar empire, even if they are military equipment!

Soon, more than 100 riders behind had galloped to the front.

The snow just didn't reach the horse's knees, and the soles of the snow horses' feet were wrapped in cotton, so that they wouldn't be too deep, but even so, through the faint light of the fire, Lu Fan could still see that the war horses in the enemy camp were panting heavily, and the fog in their mouths was very obvious.

The march in the snow, such a long distance, can be described as a tired army, so than did not immediately rush up.

In the rear, the army led by Wang Sheng has been in close contact with the enemy, and for a time it was also a killing sound, and it was not how brave Wang Sheng was compared to the enemy, after all, the enemy army had traveled such a long distance, and it was already a tired division.

"Array!" With Liu Yanyuying's order, the originally red flame stream of the Yanzi battalion was suddenly covered under the shield, and advanced towards the enemy step by step.

Three people in a team, ten teams in a team, and ten teams in a formation, cover each other and protect each other.

The neat harmonic sound of "snort" is extremely loud, and the original nervous heart is full of confidence.

Lu Fan held a spear, pointed to the sky and shouted, and rushed to the enemy camp with the reins of the horse, at this moment the enemy's sword shot at Lu Fan and the cavalry behind him again, and set aside the arrows that were shot at the critical and vulnerable, and the other arrows were bumped and dropped on the black armor and vest.
