After Lu Yun led the army to successfully capture Anzhou, he also comforted the people in the city. At the same time, he also learned that Xu Shanbao and Zhou Zhengtian had successfully combined the army into one.
Unexpectedly, Xu Shanbao was extremely obedient and did not object to Zhou Zhengtian's request at all.
However, Lu Yun is not a vegetarian. Recently, the craftsmen in the military camp have been modifying crossbows more quickly. At the same time, their crossbow beds have also been upgraded to twenty.
With this strength, no matter how many opponents come, they can't beat him. Lu Yun has absolute confidence in himself!
"Send troops to leave Yuecheng! Success or failure depends on this one move. Half of the expedition is already completed."
"I hope you can take good care of the soldiers under your command and prevent any accidents."
"In addition, suppress their energy appropriately. Don't be impatient and think that if you win a battle, you will be invincible.
Isn’t it because we have the suppression of human hands and the crushing of weapons! "
"yes!"
The people in the military camp shouted for you. They are now surrendering to Eunuch Lu.
They have sent troops to fight before, but it has never been as simple as now!
Maybe this is the lead brought by weapons.
In this way, the army walked for several days and finally arrived near Liyue City.
This place is only twenty miles away from Liyue City.
They don't plan to camp here for a long time, as long as they can annihilate the enemy.
In Liyue City, Zhou Zhengtian and the others had naturally received the news.
Liyue's army is in the camp.
Zhou Zhengtian explained this matter well.
"Everyone, the imperial army has arrived at the city. Now is the time to test us. I hope that everyone can ignore the past grudges and work together to repel the enemy."
"General Xu, what do you think about this matter?"
Xu Shanbao was stunned for a moment, and then came up with an idea, "Now that their army has just arrived, they have not yet completely settled down."
"Otherwise, we can lead a cavalry unit to launch a surprise attack on them and destroy some of their army's grain, grass, and weapons. This will increase the confidence of our army!"
"At the same time, they will also be in disarray, and we will have a considerable advantage by then."
"I wonder what the general wants?"
Zhou Zhengtian frowned and thought for a long time. This... actually made him somewhat unexpected.
Maybe this is really possible, just take advantage of the night to launch a surprise attack on the enemy, not to mention the cavalry, they should be able to retreat unscathed.
"good!"
"Then you quickly lead your cavalry to launch a surprise attack on them."
Xu Shanbao was stunned for a moment, rather confused, "What does this mean, General? Why do you have to lead my cavalry?"
Zhou Zhengtian snorted coldly and said rather proudly.
"General Xu, what do you mean? You are leading a cavalry raid, so naturally you have to select your soldiers so that you can be more skillful."
"Isn't what I said, the general, right?"
Xu Shanbao was so angry that he had nowhere to vent his anger. If it weren't for the fact that he could only compromise now, he might just flip the table and leave. It's so abominable, so shameful for this guy!
If he sends cavalry to raid, why are there only his own soldiers, his soldiers?
It is obvious that he wants to consume his own soldiers and let his soldiers be exhausted. Even if he is kicked away by then, it will have no impact on him.
Xu Shanbao even felt frightened in his heart. He was a little worried when the two armies faced off.
This guy Zhou Zhengtian lets his soldiers huddle quietly behind, and then lets his army take the lead. Isn't that the end?
"hateful!"
"Zhou Zhengtian, just wait for me. Don't think you are very powerful now."
"It is impossible for one person to face the imperial army alone. If you really push me to the limit, I will just run away. I'll see what you do."
Xu Shanbao gritted his silver teeth and said angrily. Soon, he was in the military camp and personally selected two thousand light cavalry in his hands. If he wanted to make a sneak attack, he would escape immediately after setting fire.
Although they still don't know where the enemy's food and grass are.
But as long as the fire is burned, the food and grass will be burned. This is inevitable. Even if not all is burned, it can still cause losses, not to mention that sneak attacks on the enemy can also increase one's prestige.
Why not?
At this time, Lu Yun's army was located.
Zhao Cheng, the thirteenth shadow guard, hurried in and said to Lu Yun: "Eunuch Lu, there is news from the 56th that Xu Shanbao plans to lead a cavalry unit to launch a surprise attack on our army's camp and prepare to burn the camp. , causing panic to us.”
"He worked hard to find someone to deliver it. He was afraid that it would be a little late. It is estimated that it is almost here now. After all, it is only a little late."
When Lu Yun received the news, he stood up suddenly. Unexpectedly, the person opposite him still had a brain.
If you want to surprise your enemy, then give them one to catch the turtle in the jar.
"Send the order!"
"yes!"
"In addition, I heard from Fifty-Six that the relationship between Xu Shanbao and Zhou Zhengtian is not good at all. The two have been quarreling in the military camp, and the cavalry who attacked this time are Xu Shanbao's men."
"Zhou Zhengtian did not send any soldiers, but wanted to reap the benefits."
Hearing this, Lu Yun also suddenly realized, and said in surprise: "Okay, then we can make good use of this matter."
"When the time comes, we will catch turtles in a urn. Xu Shanbao is going to send them back to make them suspicious and make the gap between them even wider."
"Yes, General."
In this way, after passing this matter to the soldiers under his command, they were all waiting for the opposite cavalry's jokes.
Soon, Xu Shanbao led his cavalry not far from the military camp.
They are very cautious, knowing that military camps usually have patrolling soldiers and distant viewing platforms, but they usually don't bother with them at night.
But it is still difficult to get close. If they launch a surprise attack, they can only use bows and arrows to bring torches into the military camp, which can achieve their goal.
"Be careful. Next, we will take advantage of the light cavalry, ride fast horses, and release fire and arrows near their military camp!"
"Once you succeed, leave immediately and never stay. Once the opponent reacts, we will lose our troops."
"Yes, General."
However, just as Xu Shanbao was leading his soldiers and horses for a surprise attack, he suddenly heard something noisy not far away.
And he also heard that there seemed to be something wrong around here.
Suddenly, many cavalry came from all directions, and torches were lit at the same time.
Xu Shanbaoren was stunned. What happened? Are you surrounded?
