When he returned to the entrance of the teahouse, the corpses on the ground had been cleaned up, but the smell of blood in the air was still strong. After looking around, Lu Yunyou finally chose to move forward. Lan Xu didn't have much time left for him, and Affairs in the army cannot always be left to Zhang Jiutian, he must go back as soon as possible.
"Little friend Lu, take care," before leaving, Mr. Hu looked at Lu Yunyou's calm face and finally said goodbye.
Fortunately, Lu Yunyou was here today, otherwise he couldn't imagine what kind of situation many villagers would face.
"Brother Lu, this is for you." With a trace of reluctance flashing in his eyes, Xingyu slowly took out some pastries from the box behind him and handed them to Lu Yunyou.
"See you soon," Lu Yunyou said while reaching out to take the cake, smiling and waving to his grandfather and grandson, then turned and left. Once he left, he never looked back. Regardless of whether he might come back to see him in the future, now he just Can leave here.
Then, being seen off by a large group of villagers, Lu Yunyou slowly walked out of Chongshan Village and returned to Fancheng along the way he came. The scenery on the road was the same as when he came. There was a bit of desolation mixed with it. Lu Yunyou ate while walking, eating various The taste of the pastries reminded him of what he had seen and heard that day.
The cool wind was blowing in waves, making him more and more awake. He had traveled thousands of miles from Wuyang City to here, but it seemed as if he was still in Wuyang City. Although the people he saw had changed, the things he could see had not. The difference was so big that he couldn't help but feel touched. Lu Yunyou didn't know if there was a pure land in the world where people could live comfortably. If not, what could he do.
"Vice General Zhang, Brother Lu, hasn't he come back yet?" At the same time, at the military camp, Fang Qing and Ni Youbin brought Tangbao to see Lu Yunyou again. This was the second time they came today.
"No," he shook his head helplessly at several people. Zhang Jiutian really couldn't understand why Lu Yunyou was so popular. In less than half a day, not only Fang Qing and Ni Youbin came twice, but also their princess came twice. The most important thing Li Jianran came specifically to ask him if Lu Yunyou was back early in the morning.
Thinking about the people who came today, they all wanted to ask him where Lu Yunyou was. While he felt innocent, he felt a lot of pressure at the same time.
"Then did you send someone out to find Brother Lu?" Seeing Zhang Jiutian shaking his head, Fang Qing was equally helpless.
"Fan City is so big, it's not easy to find. If the general wants to come back, he should come back by himself." He couldn't remember how many times he shook his head today. Unfortunately, he still couldn't express his dissatisfaction to Fang Qing and others. He could only curse Lu Yunyou secretly in his heart. Responsible, let him be responsible for so many tedious things.
"Brother Zhang, Fancheng is indeed not small, but Brother Lu's white hair is very easy to identify. If you send someone out to look for it, it shouldn't be difficult to find him." Seeing that Zhang Jiutian had no intention of looking for Lu Yunyou, Fang Qing had no choice but to Be patient and advise.
"Master, nothing will happen to him, right?" Before Zhang Jiutian could respond, Tangbao on the side thought about many reasons why Lu Yunyou hadn't come back yet, and immediately said the worst possibility among them.
"Brother Lu is stronger than the average seventh-level martial artist. It's impossible for anything to happen casually. Don't talk nonsense, sugar baby." The person who spoke was Ni Youbin. Ni Youbin didn't seriously consider whether something would happen to Lu Yunyou, because he subconsciously thought about it. He didn't think that was possible. The only thing he was worried about was whether Lu Yunyou would take the opportunity to leave the army. After all, they had long known that Lu Yunyou had such thoughts.
"No, what Tangbao said makes sense. Maybe there are people in the city who really don't welcome us." Unlike Ni Youbin, Fang Qing agreed with the possibility that Tangbao said.
"Then tell me, what will happen to Brother Lu?" Seeing that Fang Qing chose to believe in Tangbao, Ni Youbin immediately asked back.
"This? I don't know!" Fang Qing stared and shook his head.
"Then what are you talking about? Brother Lu is not the kind of person who likes to cause trouble, Zhang Jiutian, don't you think so?" Ni Youbin said and looked at Zhang Jiutian again. If you really want to talk about it, it's the time Zhang Jiutian and Lu Yunyou spent together. For the longest time, he should know more about Lu Yunyou's movements.
"General Jiren has his own destiny, and nothing will happen casually. However, Zhang is not sure why the general hasn't come back yet," Zhang Jiutian said helplessly, and then expressed his point of view.
"You think Brother Lu went to some tavern to have fun secretly, right? I heard that the superiors rewarded Brother Lu with a lot of spiritual stones last time." Seeing that Zhang Jiutian failed to explain the reason, Fang Qing had to look at it from his own point of view. Make a guess.
"Fart, do you think Brother Lu and you have the same virtues?" Ni Youbin retorted with a cold face.
"No matter, let's go back." After Ni Youbin said this, Fang Qing was embarrassed to guess any more, and then said hello to Zhang Jiutian: "Brother Zhang, if Brother Lu comes back, please notify us."
"Okay," this was not the first time he gave such a reply today. Although Zhang Jiutian was impatient, he still nodded to Fang Qing.
After watching the three people leave, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was still thinking that if Lu Yunyou couldn't come back on time, he would never have peace.
Putting aside the situation at the military camp, Lu Yunyou took stock of his condition when he was about to return to the city gate. The wounds on his body were no longer painful. The effect of practicing bow skills was indeed extraordinary. It seemed that even the wounds had healed. The speed was faster than before. While being silently happy about practicing archery, he turned around and saw that the scene in Chongshan Village was already very blurry.
Looking back, Lu Yunyou only had things related to the military camp in his mind. One day passed, and he didn't know what was going on at the camp. Considering that he had left the military camp for less than a day, nothing major should happen, so Lu Yunyou was not too anxious.
But the reality is the same as what he thought. In the past day, it has been calm inside and outside the pass. Because of the slack of the coalition commander before, the coalition now has to face a huge problem. The absence of large-scale siege equipment means that there is no attack. Even if the huge mountains can provide them with enough wood, they can also find enough carpenters and blacksmiths, but they still cannot build a sufficient number of siege equipment in a short time.
Fancheng is not an ordinary level. There are no siege vehicles. The cost of conquering such a level by manpower alone is immeasurable. Therefore, since the garrison, the problem of siege has been a big embarrassment to the two coalition commanders. It is a pity that the great power of Qingxuan gave They don't have much time, and even if they can't achieve some results early, they still need to take some practical actions.
Now the coalition forces are busy transporting large siege equipment from the rear while planning siege strategies. Everything is going on in an orderly manner. In short, it will take some time before they can be ready to siege the city.
At the same time, after two days of inspection, Lan Xu had completely figured out the strength of the coalition forces. As they had previously explored, the number of coalition forces was between 300,000 and 350,000, which was three times their number. Of course, What he is more concerned about is the ability of the two coalition commanders, because there are not many spies caught so far, and they have not received much information. For the time being, they only know that the two coalition commanders are people who want to undermine the reputation of the Star Army and become famous.
Although he didn't know the specific abilities of the enemy commander, but based solely on their intentions, Lan Xu felt that it was more appropriate for the Star Army to defend the city at the moment.
No matter how many troops the opponent has, he is confident that he can defend Fancheng, and in terms of defending the city, they have already made arrangements, and all personnel and materials are in place, ready to welcome the coalition's attack at any time.
It is worth mentioning that the reason why he decisively gave up the offensive plan had a lot to do with the situation on the coalition side. The coalition camp thirty miles away from Fancheng was heavily guarded. Perhaps the two commanders were not good at seizing the opportunity. But he does have certain abilities in leading troops.
With fortifications everywhere, the two separate camps were as stable as two fortresses. No matter whether it was day or night, Lan Xu did not see any opportunity to surprise the coalition forces.
During the investigation of the military situation, Lan Xu also ordered people to conduct a detailed investigation of the terrain surrounding the coalition camp and found no route that could be used to launch a surprise attack. If they were to launch a surprise attack, the coalition forces would take precautions as soon as possible.
In addition, Lan Xu also suspected that there were gaps in the coalition forces in the city, perhaps spies sneaking into Fancheng from the fringe areas, or perhaps there were some people in the city who were willing to actively help the coalition forces. In short, the risk for them to send troops rashly was too great.
After comprehensive consideration, defending the city is currently their best choice, but he and the two coalition coaches have a common problem to face, and neither side can waste time.
The coalition forces were more motivated by the mission of the great Qingxuan country, and their side was more motivated by limited food and grass.
As time goes by, food and grass are gradually becoming a problem. If Yan Nantian's food and grass team had not been attacked, the situation might be much better now. Unfortunately, what happened cannot be undone.
