The gates of Ziyang City were opened, and 100,000 troops set out from Ziyang City to the west, Meng Fan was appointed as the commander of the army by Prince Warren, the heir to the throne of Gilgias, and Meng Fan would lead these 100,000 troops to fight against the army under the traitor Dulaika, who sought power and usurped the throne.

"Lord Claude, the spies from the front have come to report, the enemy army is also rushing to the east, and the armies of our two sides may come into contact in the Lutian Plain. "Nice, a royal general loyal to Prince Warren, rode over to report.

"Lutian Plain, I remember that the terrain was very open. Meng Fan, who was riding on the horse, thought for a while. "General Nice, let the army move on, and we will engage the enemy in the Lutian Plain. Meng Fan said.

After Meng Fan gave the order, he found that Ness was still staying by his side, "General Nice, what's wrong? Didn't you understand the order I gave?" Meng Fan stared at Ness and asked.

"Lord Claude, the number of enemy troops is nearly three times that of our army, and it is obviously not good for our army to fight the enemy head-on, not to mention Lord Claude, you have chosen the location of the battle in the open Lutian Plain, so that the layout of our army will be seen by ......the enemy at a glance," Ness said.

"General Nice, you mean to say that the Lutian Plain is not a good place for fighting, that there can be no ambushes there, and that the actions of our army will be clearly seen by the enemy. Meng Fan laughed.

When the force is not superior, you should try to avoid fighting the enemy head-on, Ness believes that such a simple truth, as the commander of the army, Claude could not not know that the black-haired man in front of him has never been defeated on the battlefield.

"General Nice, generally speaking, I would not take 100,000 troops to confront nearly 300,000 enemies, the open terrain of the Lutian Plain is a great advantage for us with 20,000 cavalry, and I have already made a plan to ensure that I can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. Meng Fan said confidently.

There are 20,000 well-equipped cavalry in the 100,000 army under Meng Fan, and these 20,000 cavalry originally belonged to the royal army general Kurum, in the rebellion in the royal capital Cangyun City, General Kurum, who was loyal to the royal family, was killed by Duke Dulaika, and Kurum handed over his 20,000 cavalry to Nice before he died, and Nice relied on these 20,000 cavalry to escort Her Royal Highness and Prince Warren to escape to Ziyang City.

Looking at the black-haired man in front of him, although Ness couldn't figure out what good strategy Meng Fan had come up with to defeat an enemy with nearly three times his strength, Ness believed that Meng Fan would definitely be able to defeat Dulaika's army, which was why Lewin, the lord of Purple Sun City, chose to accept Meng Fan's help and let Meng Fan be the commander of the army.

"Lord Claude, General Nice seems to have doubts about your battle plan. When Ness left, Tiberius, who was following Meng Fan, spoke.

"It's not surprising that anyone would be confused to fight 100,000 troops head-on with nearly 300,000 troops. Meng Fan glanced at Tiberius beside him and said.

"Lord Claude, you can inform General Nice of your plan to defeat the enemy in advance......" Tiberius whispered.

"Don't hurry, it's not too late to tell him when we meet the enemy. Meng Fan said with a smile holding the reins in his left hand.

Two days later, in the Lutian Plain, two armies faced each other on the empty plain, with the army led by Meng Fan supporting Prince Hualun in the east, and the army under Dulaika, who had recently ascended the throne in the royal capital Cangyun City, to the west.

"Get in formation, the attack is about to begin. "The 100,000 troops on the east side of the Lutian Plain took an offensive stance, and the officer in charge of the herald rode and galloped in the middle of the formation.

On the western side of the Lutian Plains, King Dulaika of Gilgias rode on a pure white steed and watched the enemy in the distance.

"Your Majesty, the enemy army is ready to attack, and it should soon be ready to attack our army. Carmenor, who had been appointed commander-in-chief of the army by Dulaika, reported to the king.

"Carmenor, is it really Claude commanding the army in Purple Sun City?" Dulaika looked at the army to the east with some suspicion.

"Your Majesty, there can be no mistake in intelligence, Claude is definitely the commander of the enemy army. Carmeno replied.

"Since Claude was commanding the army to fight, how could he make such a mistake? Knowing that there was a nearly three-fold gap between the forces of the two sides, he still had to choose an open battlefield like the Lutian Plain...... Claude, does he really think that the victories he has won will scare my army back?" Dulaika turned to look at Carmenor.

"Your Majesty, a good battlefield commander will not let the enemy see through his intentions, and since Claude dares to fight our army in the Lutian Plain, he must have other plans, and we should be cautious about dealing with the enemy......" Carmeno replied.

"Well, you're right, Claude may retreat after a short fight, as he did with the Bretans, and draw our army into the ensemble, Carmenor, if the enemy retreats suddenly, you must not chase the enemy. Dulaika admonished.

A few months ago, when he was the commander of the Gilgidian army, Meng Fan once led the careless Bretan army into the frozen Yuanjing Lake, and then smashed the ice sheet on the lake, so that the 200,000 Brettan army was almost all wiped out, and the commander of the Brettan army, Christian, was also buried in the cold and biting Yuanjing Lake.

Knowing Claude's cunning, Dulaika warned the army commander Carmeno not to chase the enemy if he retreated, lest he fall into the enemy's set up.

The army on the east side of the Lutian Plain began to move, and the 100,000 troops turned into three routes and advanced to the west.

"Fight the enemy. "The commander of the army on the west side of the Lutian Plain, Carmenor, gave the order to meet the battle, and Carmeno divided his army into three routes, with 100,000 troops in the center, 120,000 troops on the left flank, and 60,000 troops on the right flank.

The reason why Carmeno will strengthen the army on the left flank is because Carmeno has to focus on taking care of the enemy's right flank, Meng Fan placed his 20,000 cavalry on the right flank, and the cavalry is more mobile and offensive than other soldiers, so Carmeno strengthens his left flank, so that he can perfectly restrain the enemy's right flank.
