And in just a few days, Lu Chen used the same method, with the help of the holy decree given to him by Tang Xuanzong before, to deceive along the way. The fastest update will be Chenzhou, Shouzhou and other large cities, without spending a single soldier, all of them have been taken.

And after Lu Chen occupied these two large cities, the army of the Xuanwu Army finally arrived here. After learning about Lu Chen's occupation of these cities, it is said that the Xuanwu Army Jiedu envoy was angry on the spot and vomited a large mouthful of blood. As a powerful envoy of the festival, he naturally knew the original meaning of the holy decree in Lu Chen's hand. I'm afraid that even Tang Xuanzong couldn't have imagined that Lu Chen would actually rely on this holy decree to go outside to be abducted and deceived.

Immediately afterwards, the angry Xuanwu Army Jie Du envoy immediately commanded the army and launched an attack on Chenzhou City.

In his opinion, Lu Chen had only occupied this Chenzhou City for a few days, and it was impossible to completely occupy the city. Under this premise, he should be able to breach the city easily.

However, when his army was still some distance away from the city, the soldiers in front of him suddenly heard a burst of screams. It turned out that in front of the city, some traps appeared, and many soldiers fell into it by surprise. In fact, these traps are not too hidden, after all, time is limited, and they can't be very elaborate. However, when the army of the Xuanwu Jiedu envoy was attacking the city, it was naturally impossible to keep staring at the feet.

It was not until a few hundred men had lost that the army stopped moving. In fact, the soldiers who rushed in front were about to stop when they saw a trap, but the army behind them didn't know that they were still rushing forward, which made the soldiers in front watch themselves being pushed into the trap.

Subsequently, the Xuanwu Army no longer let the army move forward like this, but sent more than 1,000 soldiers to investigate, and the army behind was waiting quietly.

It's just that when these soldiers who had discharged the trap gradually approached the city, suddenly, hundreds of sharp arrows shot from the sky. These soldiers who cleared the trap in front of them were unable to react for a while, and more than 100 soldiers died under the random arrows in an instant.

And the remaining hundred soldiers didn't know for a moment whether to move forward or retreat. After all, their general did not order to retreat, and they did not dare to withdraw without permission. But looking at the dense guards on the city wall in front of them, they felt their heads tingle.

After seeing this scene, the Xuanwu Jiedu envoy immediately ordered the soldiers to withdraw to a safe area.

Subsequently, the Xuanwu Army Jiedu envoy sent people to the city wall and shouted, "The defenders of the city listen, the person who occupies the city at this time is from the rebels. I hope you don't be fooled by it. The Lord said, "As long as you"

However, before the soldier could finish speaking, a sharp arrow suddenly came from the city wall. The arrow flickered away, striking the soldier's eyebrows. At the moment of being shot, the soldier was knocked back two or three paces by the force carried by the sharp arrow, and finally fell to the ground.

At this time, Lu Chen on the city wall slowly put away his bow and arrows and sneered at the city. This Xuanwu army festival envoy also wanted to provoke the defenders in the city. But he probably never thought that on the day Lu Chen occupied Chenzhou City, he had already withdrawn all the generals and officials in the city.

Although such a direct blood exchange will cause chaos in the city, Lu Chen can't manage it so much. Because at that time, he received the news that the army of the Xuanwu Festival envoy had already rushed to this side. Lu Chen directly and rudely replaced all the defenders in the city with soldiers under his own hands, because only his own soldiers could he rest assured.

As for the original defenders in the city, they were temporarily guarded by Lu Chen.

Therefore, no matter what the Xuanwu Jiedu envoy said today, it is impossible for these soldiers defending the city to rebel.

And after seeing that the attack was blocked and the provocation failed. The Xuanwu Festival envoy also ran out of ideas for a while. After all, there are not many troops under his command, only forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses. There are also some that must be stationed in major cities, so there are only thirty or forty thousand troops that can be mobilized to fight Lu Chen.

It's just that the current situation has made him a little embarrassed. It can't be beaten, and it's even more impossible to retreat.

And at this moment, one of the staff members of the Xuanwu Festival envoy gave him a plan.

When the Xuanwu Army Jie Du envoy listened to the plan of the staff, his face suddenly showed a hint of surprise, and he said very approvingly, "This is very good, you will take my warrant now and lead an army of 10,000 to attack Yingzhou City." I want to see if that Lu Chen wants Chenzhou or Yingzhou! ”

And not long after the 10,000-strong army set off, Lu Chen got the news. After all, with an army of 10,000, the goal of the operation is too big. Lu Chen can detect it even if he doesn't investigate it deliberately.

After learning the direction of the army's departure, Lu Chen only looked at the map a little and knew their purpose. It seems that they have the idea of encircling Wei to save Zhao. After figuring out the other party's plan, Lu Chen just showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't seem too flustered.

10,000 troops want to capture Yingzhou City? This is too underestimating him Lu Chen. From the moment he occupied Yingzhou City, Lu Chen was already ready to use this city as his first stronghold here.

Therefore, Lu Chen left 5,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and these soldiers and horses were all elite soldiers led from Luzhou City. plus the two big hole cards left by Lu Chen. Therefore, when he heard that the enemy army had sent 10,000 troops to attack Yingzhou City, Lu Chen did not have the slightest worry in his heart.

If those 5,000 elite soldiers, plus the original two or three thousand defenders in the city, could not withstand the 10,000 enemy troops, Lu Chen probably wouldn't have the face to stay here.

However, Lu Chen's side was not idle. The Xuanwu Army only brought 40,000 troops this time, and now there are 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Yingzhou City, so the remaining 30,000 or so soldiers, Lu Chen is not impossible to defeat.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen's eyes flashed, if he could defeat the main force of the Xuanwu Army in one fell swoop this time, then he could easily occupy its territory in the back.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen immediately called Lin Lao to his room and began to plan, how to plan and completely count the other party.

Half a day later, the Xuanwu Army, who was resting in the military tent outside the city, got a message. The enemy army in Chenzhou City suddenly sent more than 10,000 elite soldiers from the south gate of the city. Because these soldiers and horses were all cavalry, they quickly broke through the defensive line arranged at the south gate and rushed all the way to the south.
