Afternoon.

Lu Fan did not practice swords in the courtyard, but meditated in his room to practice exercises.

After a while, he opened the attribute panel and looked at the Gong Fa Dao Sutra, and he was still 20,370 experience points away from leveling up.

That's a difference of 203.7 assignable attributes.

He didn't want to wait any longer, he wanted to raise his cultivation to the Innate Second Realm as soon as possible.

Some!

Lu Fan's mind moved, and he added the 203.7 assignable attribute to the Tao Sutra.

The Tao Sutra was instantly upgraded to the twelfth level.

The next moment, spiritual power poured in wildly, instantly filling his dantian, and there was a surplus, impacting that barrier.

After a long time.

"Boom!"

The barrier was broken down, and the capacity of the dantian was expanded again.

Advanced.

Innate two realms.

Open the Properties panel.

Name: Lu Fan

Lifespan: 18/2800

Power: 588.93

Dexterity: 235.41

Mental Power: 228.57

Physical strength: 663.84

Cultivation: Innate two realms

Exercise: The Twelfth Fold of the Tao Sutra (0/60000)

Martial Arts: Starry Sky Sword Technique (5/20)

Assignable stat points: 522.56

After promotion, Lu Fan's strength increased by 64 points, his physical strength increased by 32 points, his agility increased by 24 points, and his mental power increased by 16 points.

Now his true strength is equivalent to the Innate Six Realms.

One step closer to the top martial artist.

He had learned in advance that the strongest person in the Chu State was the Innate Eight Realm cultivators.

And only one person.

That person seems to be called Yun Xuan?

It is said that he is the head of the largest sect in the Chu State, the Sword House.

A transcendent person like this would not have made a move easily.

Therefore, Lu Fan was not too worried.

In addition to Yun Xuan, there are also three innate Seven Realm powerhouses in the Chu State, all of whom are transcendent people, and they will not easily get involved in the battle.

However, even if these three innate Seven Realm powerhouses made a move, Lu Fan was not afraid.

With his various means, even in the face of the innate Seven Realm powerhouses, he will be invincible.

Moreover, even if Yun Xuan came, he was confident that he would be able to entangle the other party.

Although he couldn't win, Yun Xuan wanted to kill him, but it wasn't that easy.

What's more, he still has hole cards.

It really forced him to be anxious, and he added the remaining assignable attributes to his strength, as strong as Yun Xuan, I am afraid that he is not his opponent.

That's it.

Since no one in the Chu State can threaten him, this attack on Chu will definitely return with a great victory.

……

……

Early the next morning.

The 120,000-strong army set out from Zhennan Pass, all the way to the south, and after a day's march, entered the territory of Chu.

Towards evening, under the command of Xu Zhao, the soldiers began to set up camp.

This place is less than thirty miles away from Dayu City.

Dayu City is a border city of Chu State, facing Zhennanguan across the mountain.

The terrain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It was the only way for the Great Zhou to enter the Chu State.

If you don't go to Dayu City, you can only take the mountain road.

With the baggage of a large army, it is simply unrealistic.

Had dinner.

In the camp tent, Lu Fan and the others sat around to discuss tomorrow's battle plan.

"Let's talk about it, how to fight tomorrow's battle?"

Lu Fan's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and finally fixed on Zhou Wanjun, "Commander Zhou, you come first." ”

"Okay."

Zhou Wanjun nodded and said, "According to the information sent back a few days ago, there are 200,000 defenders of the Chu State in Dayu City, and now there are only a lot more. ”

"With our current strength, if we want to storm Dayu City, I'm afraid we will pay a great price."

"Why don't we send our masters to infiltrate Dayu City overnight tonight and harass and sabotage them in the city, so as to affect their morale and morale."

"But at the same time, we also have to prevent the Chu army from sneaking up on us overnight."

After speaking, Zhou Wanjun looked at everyone, "I don't know what you think?" ”

"I don't think a sneak attack is feasible."

Zhao Jin retorted: "The Chu army must have already received the information and knew that we were stationed here tonight, maybe they had already set up an ambush in the city, waiting for us to throw themselves into the net." ”

"yes."

"An overnight sneak attack is too risky."

"Forget it."

The crowd objected.

"In my opinion, it's better to recharge your energy tonight, and then make a tentative attack tomorrow to feel the bottom of the Chu army."

Liu Feng said: "After all, there are many generals in Dayu City, and it is not so easy to take it in one fell swoop, we must be prepared for a protracted war." ”

"That's right."

"As it should be."

Qin Huinan and Sui Meng expressed their support at the same time.

"Xu Zhao, what do you think?"

Lu Fan turned his gaze to Xu Zhao.

"Look, everybody."

Xu Zhao took out a map and spread it on the table.

"This is Dayu City, with mountains on both sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack."

"What's more, there are still 200,000 troops stationed here, and it is too difficult to take it in one fell swoop."

"It's better for us to bypass Dayu City, go deep into the hinterland of Chu State, quickly occupy other cities, and cut off the back road of Dayu City."

As he spoke, Xu Zhao pointed to the far end of the map, "Although this is also a mountain road, in comparison, the terrain is relatively gentle, even our baggage troops can pass smoothly." ”

"It's just a little farther away, I'm afraid it will take at least more than a month to bypass this mountain range and enter the hinterland of Chu State."

"But as long as we pass, and the front is open, we will drive straight into it and only take the capital of Chu State."

"At that time, the state of Chu will be in chaos."

After a pause, Xu Zhao continued: "We can take the Chu State by surprise and take the capital of the Chu State in one fell swoop. ”

"It's too risky."

Gu Cheng retorted: "Even if we bypass Dayu City, it will never be possible to hide from the eyes of the Chu army, and the defenders of Dayu City may take the initiative to attack us from behind." If there is a Chu army in front of us, under the attack from both sides, our army is afraid that it will not be able to withstand it. ”

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Zhao was confident, "I did this for another purpose, that is, to lure the defenders of Dayu City out and fight in the field, which is better than siege warfare." ”

"Moreover, they are in the light, and we are in the dark."

"When the time comes, we will be the ones who will occupy the right place."

"Even if they are flanked on both sides, we can break them individually."

"As long as we can annihilate the main force of the Chu army in one fell swoop, those cities will become empty cities, and they will no longer be able to stop our attack."

"When we attack the capital of Chu, it will become easier."

Speaking of this, Xu Zhao turned his gaze to Lu Fan, "Lord Lu, what do you think?" ”

"You've got a good idea."

Lu Fan praised it, but suddenly changed his words, "However, there are hidden dangers." ”

"What if the defenders of Dayu City ignore us, but turn back and attack Zhennan Pass?"

"After all, there are less than 60,000 soldiers left in Zhennan Pass, but you have to face 200,000 Chu troops, can you hold it?"

"If Zhennan Pass is lost, will Shuyue and the two countries turn against the water? Then go back and attack Wind Thunder City and Cangyun City? ”

"While these are hypotheticals, what if they happen? We can't afford it. ”

"What's more, Dayu City just doesn't move, even if it doesn't do anything, it's a great threat to be eyeing us behind us."

"So, it's impossible to cross Dayu City no matter what."

Lu Fan said: "We must take Dayu City in order to have no worries." ”

"yes."

"It's really risky."

"If it fails, the consequences are unimaginable."

Everyone agreed with Lu Fan's statement.

"I also know it's risky."

Xu Zhao sighed: "However, if you don't take the risk, you can only storm Dayu City, in that case, it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and we may not be able to take it, maybe we will be involved here and unable to move." ”

Speaking of this, he asked, "I don't know what Master Lu has?" ”

Everyone turned their eyes to Lu Fan.

"Takami doesn't."

Lu Fan shook his head lightly, "Just as you said, storm Dayu City!" ”

"Huh?"

"What?"

Everyone was shocked, and their faces changed.

But no one questioned it, they all knew that Lu Fan must have his own ideas.

"I've decided to launch a strong attack tomorrow."

Lu Fan said: "Since you can't think of it, the defenders of Dayu City shouldn't be able to think of it, but they can be caught off guard by us." ”

"What's more, the terrain of Dayu City is complicated, and there is no other way than to storm it."

"The main thing is that we don't have time to spend with them."

"Not only must we attack strongly, but we must also quickly take Dayu City, and then quickly move south to take the capital of Chu State."

"It's too slow to take a detour."

"If according to what Xu Zhao said, when we arrive at the capital of Chu State, it will be at least two months later."

"Even if you take the capital of Chu, when you return, you will have to fight with the defenders of Dayu City."

"It's better to advance the decisive battle, as long as the 200,000 defenders of Dayu City are defeated, the remaining forces of the Chu State will definitely not be able to stop us."

"Moreover, with the current situation in Dazhou, we can't afford to wait."

"The sooner the battle of Vachu, the better, and it must not be delayed."

As he spoke, Lu Fan looked around at everyone, "If you believe me, you will fight with me tomorrow, I hope we will concentrate all our forces and treat it as the last battle." ”

"If we win, we will take advantage of the victory to pursue."

"If we lose, we will return to Zhennan Pass and think of another way."

"Still, I'm confident."

"When the time comes, I will rush to the front and smash the gates."

Lu Fan said: "You follow me, fight into the city, and start a decisive battle with the enemy in Dayu City, with our strength, this battle will be won!" ”

"Good!"

"Just listen to you!"

"Win or lose!"

The crowd was stirred up with pride.

They had never seen such a commander-in-chief, alone rushing to the front.

blocked countless injuries for the soldiers behind him, completely disregarding his own safety.

Only such people are worthy of their following.

Naturally, they can't be cowardly.

"According to the intelligence, the lord of the Chu State is named Shi Yan, and he is a powerhouse in the Innate Realm."

Lu Fan continued: "This person will be handed over to me, and the remaining five first-grade masters will be left to you." ”

"Okay."

Everyone agreed in unison.

Among them, except for Lu Fan and Xu Zhao, they are all first-class masters.

Nine against five, more than enough.

In terms of the number of masters, they are far superior to the defenders of Yucheng.

If it is better than the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, it is even stronger than the opponent.

It can completely offset the disparity in numbers.

If Lu Fan can break through the city gate in one fell swoop, and take the lead in rushing into the city, and start a street battle with the enemy in the city, the enemy's geographical advantage will be gone.

With the combat power of the Great Zhou army, it will definitely be able to defeat the enemy army.

Therefore, the most critical point in this battle lies in Lu Fan.

The defenders of Dayu City will definitely guard the city gate with heavy troops, even if the city gate is broken, there will be layers of defense inside.

If Lu Fan wanted to rush into the city, he could only break these layers of defense.

This is undoubtedly the hardest.

Even if Lu Fan is a strong person in the innate realm, he may not be able to do it.

Although everyone agreed, they inevitably had doubts in their hearts.

However, since they chose to believe in Lu Fan, they would not be easily shaken.

"Xu Zhao, tomorrow you will be in charge of the remaining command."

Lu Fan was greatly relieved to see the high morale of the crowd, "Everyone else rushed into the city with me. ”

"Okay."

Everyone put aside the doubts in their hearts and chose to advance and retreat with Lu Fan.

They all know that this battle is crucial.

We have to work together.

"Tell me to go down, except for the sentry, everyone has a good rest tonight."

Lu Fan said: "Including you, all recharge your energy and prepare for tomorrow's big battle." ”

"But ......"

Xu Mingyang was puzzled, "What if the enemy army comes to sneak attack?" ”

"Leave it to me."

Lu Fan said: "I'm waiting for them outside, if they don't come, I will personally go to Dayu City to explore the truth and truth." ”

"Okay."

The crowd had no objection and got up to leave.

For Lu Fan's strength, they were extremely relieved.

Even if you are alone and go to the enemy camp, you can return unscathed.

……

……

Lu Fan put on his armor, took his bow and arrows, hung the Kunwu sword around his waist, picked up the cold iron spear, and quietly slipped out of the barracks.

When he came to the woods in front of the barracks, he jumped onto a big tree, sat down cross-legged, and began to settle down.

But the voices around him couldn't hide it.

If an enemy army is coming, he will be the first to find out.

The night was getting deeper, and there was silence all around.

Occasionally, a few insect cries rang out, and in the silence of the wilderness, it was very clear.

Lu Fan woke up from his meditation, looked at the moonlight in the sky, and knew that the time was almost up.

The enemy has not yet arrived.

There was no sound in the distance, and it didn't look like it was coming.

Jumping from the tree, Lu Fan marched in the direction of Dayu City.

He was fast, but his ears were still listening to the sounds around him, and he still didn't notice anything.

Now he can basically conclude that the Chu army did not send people out to sneak attack.

Then don't come out.

Lu Fan suddenly sped up, and almost in a moment, he came to the city of Dayu.

His feet glared, and his body soared into the air, like a big black bird, and flew up the city wall.

"Who?"

A sentry soldier spotted him and shouted.

The cold iron spear in Lu Fan's hand was sent forward, and blood splattered suddenly.

A terrible scream rang out, waking the people from their sleep.

This was deliberately done by Lu Fan, the purpose was to make some noise.

"Enemy attack!"

A group of neatly dressed soldiers of the Chu State emerged from the darkness, opened their bows and arrows, and shot at Lu Fan.

Looking at the other party's posture, it seems that they have been prepared for a long time.

Lu Fan is naturally not afraid.

Although Chu Jun guessed that someone would come to attack Dayu City, he would never have imagined that he was the only one who came.

I can't imagine his current strength, and he is not afraid of any ambush at all.

It's useless to deal with him, with a lot of people.

"Woohoo!"

A rain of arrows struck, with a strong sound of breaking the air.

Lu Fan rose into the air again, dodged the rain of flying arrows, and when he landed, he came to a team of Chu troops, and the cold iron spear in his hand swept out.

"Bang!"

Dozens of soldiers in the front row flew out upside down and collided with the soldiers behind them, letting out a scream.

Lu Fan rushed into the crowd, the cold iron spear kept stabbing out, and black spear flowers bloomed around him.

In an instant, hundreds of Chu soldiers died under his gun.

He didn't stop, he jumped, jumped off the city wall, and fell into the city of Dayu.

Before he could hit the ground, countless arrows came from all directions, blocking all his path.

Being in the air, Lu Fan twisted his body, suddenly stopped falling, and rushed forward instead.

At the same time, the cold iron spear in his hand slashed downward.

Most of the arrows missed, but many still landed on him with a crisp sound.

It was like a shot in the body of steel, leaving not even a trace on him.

Not to mention making him hurt.

Lu Fan's speed was extremely fast, and he came to the sky above a group of Chu soldiers almost instantly.

The next moment, the cold iron spear slashed down.

"Boom!"

Hundreds of Chu soldiers were killed in an instant.

After landing, Lu Fan rushed into the crowd again, and as the cold iron spear flew away, the Chu soldiers fell in pieces like harvested crops.

Before the Chu soldiers formed a siege, he turned around and rushed towards the city.

Although he had never been to Dayu City, he had read the map of Dayu City many times.

I know a few important places in Dayu City.

The place where he went was the barracks where the main force of the Chu army was located.

"Whew!"

Dozens of spears pierced out of the darkness, as if they were going to pierce Lu Fan's whole body.

Lu Fan jumped lightly, his foot just stepped on a few guns, and he took advantage of his strength to take off.

At the same time, the cold iron spear in his hand was sent downward, and suddenly the shadow of the gun was heavy.

Dozens of Chu soldiers hidden in the darkness were ruthlessly harvested.

Lu Fan continued to move forward.

"Huh!"

The dazzling sword light flashed, and the bright steel knives were connected together, slashing towards Lu Fan.

Lu Fan's wrist shook slightly, and countless spear flowers floated out.

Blooming all around him.

"Bang!"

With a soft sound, dozens of Chu soldiers fell to the ground.

Lu Fan knew that these were all masters in the Chu army.

But in front of him, it is still vulnerable.

Without looking back, Lu Fan continued to rush in the direction where the barracks were located.

Along the way, he encountered countless obstructions from the Chu army, but he couldn't let him stay for a moment.

Screams rang out one after another, and wails continued.

Blood was everywhere, staining the entire street.

Chu Bing, who was lucky enough to survive, couldn't help but feel frightened when he looked at the tragic situation in front of him.

They dispatched so many people that they couldn't even leave each other alone.

was also killed by the other party out of a bloody way.

The man's name was already being called.

Lu Fan!

This name, which they had heard countless times, only to find out when they really faced it was even more terrifying than the legend.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong?"

"What's going on?"

Countless people in Dayu City were awakened in their sleep.

Hearing the screams from afar, they all trembled with fright and turned pale.

"It can't be the Great Zhou Army coming in, right?"

"It's over, it's over."

"What can I do?"

The people were at a loss for what to do.

Even when they were lying in bed, they couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night!

"Kill!"

Lu Fan rushed into the barracks, and countless Chu soldiers rushed towards him.

He put away the cold iron spear, jumped high, and flew onto the roof.

Holding the Cloud Piercing Bow in his hand, Lu Fan put on the arrow, and a series of arrows flew towards the Chu army's array.

"Boom!"

Arrows filled with Lu Fan's strength exploded in the crowd, and immediately flesh and blood flew sideways, killing and injuring countless people.

At the same time, countless sharp arrows flew towards Lu Fan from all directions.

Lu Fan's body took off again, dodging and moving in the air, dodging most of the sharp arrows.

A few arrows fell on him, but they didn't have any effect on him.

Lu Fan used bows and arrows to attack the Chu army, kept moving his position, and gradually went deeper into the barracks, attracting more Chu soldiers to chase and intercept him.

But he was not in a hurry, and quickly shot more than a hundred arrows, put away his bow, took off the cold iron spear, and began to charge back.

"Kill!"

The entire barracks were alarmed.

Mess.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Lu Fan no longer stayed, and at the fastest speed, he killed out of the barracks and disappeared into the darkness.

He knew in his heart that after he made such a fuss, Chu Jun became a frightened bird, not only could he not sleep tonight, but he might not be able to sleep peacefully in the future.

Combat effectiveness will inevitably be greatly reduced.

However, the Great Zhou army is recuperating and only waiting for tomorrow's decisive battle.

The impact on the battle situation can be imagined.

What's more, the Chu army may not have thought that the Great Zhou army would launch a decisive battle tomorrow.

If you respond in a hurry, you will lose the opportunity.

Lu Fan is more confident in tomorrow's decisive battle.

This battle will be won!

……

……

The next day, in the morning.

Lu Fan had breakfast, took a break, and walked out of the camp.

He was fully dressed, with his bow and arrows on his back, his Kungo sword hanging from his waist, and a cold iron spear in his hand.

The soldiers were already ready to go.

"Your Excellency!"

The probe came over to report, "The front has been investigated, and no enemy ambush has been found. ”

"Okay, there you go."

Lu Fan nodded, turned over on his horse, and shouted, "Let's go!" ”

"Yes!"

All the soldiers agreed in unison.

The sound is uniform, reaching the sky.

That momentum seemed to be about to pierce the sky.

"Drive!"

Lu Fan took the lead and rushed out of the camp.

Ye Wuchen, Gu Cheng, Liu Feng, Xu Mingyang, Zhou Wanjun, Zhao Jin, Sui Meng, Qin Huinan, Gu Changting, and nine first-class powerhouses followed.

It can be said that the people with the highest status and the strongest strength are all at the forefront.

In the eyes of the soldiers of the Great Zhou, all of them were full of enthusiasm.

It's something they've never experienced before.

It's not just them, no one has experienced it at all.

Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this has never been the case.

All the commanders are charging forward, how can they not fight with their lives?

What could be more exhilarating than that?

"Drive!"

More than fifteen hundred Dragon Shadow Guards, as the third echelon, followed closely behind the nine first-grade powerhouses.

Behind them were 15,000 Xuanjia troops and 9,000 guards battalions.

Plus 30,000 elite cavalry, and 50,000 elite infantry.

Only 20,000 remained in the barracks.

It can be called tilting the nest and moving, and the main force is exhausted.

Everyone knows that victory and defeat are fought here.

"Boom!"

Ten thousand horses galloped, like thunder resounding in the ears of everyone.

The whole earth trembled.

Lu Fan was in black armor and black armor, holding a cold iron gun, and rushed to the front alone.

Behind him was a tidal wave of tens of thousands of cavalry.

Dayu City at this time.

Shi Yan was standing on the city tower with a gloomy face.

As the commander of the Chu army, he has been very uneasy recently.

Especially after experiencing last night, he has a new understanding of Lu Fan's strength.

It's even stronger than the legend says.

A person came to Dayu City, killed so many people, and left unscathed.

Come and go as you please.

not only harassed the Chu army, but also greatly damaged the morale of the soldiers.

It made them lose face.

It's so hateful!

Shi Yan clenched his fists, if he had the opportunity, he must slaughter this person with his own hands in order to relieve his hatred.

Otherwise, this breath will always be held in his heart and he will not be able to get out.

"Boom!"

The sound of horses' hooves like thunder came out from afar.

Here it comes!

Shi Yan looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw countless small black dots moving in the wilderness in the distance.

Gradually, the little black dots got bigger and bigger.

It became tens of thousands of iron horses, like a tide, swept in.

"Tell me to go down and get ready for battle!"

Shi Yan's face was grim, and he shouted loudly: "We must completely annihilate the enemy, so that the Great Zhou army will not return." ”

"Yes."
