After not being in the camp for a day, he needed to know more about the affairs of the army. On the way to dinner, Lu Yunyou specifically asked Zhang Jiutian to tell him about the situation in the army.
Maybe he was out for too short a time. Zhang Jiutian's reply quickly made him understand that apart from the fact that he was not in the army, there were no other problems in the army. When it came to Fang Qing and the others coming to him, Zhang Jiutian's complaining attitude more obvious.
After knowing that it was Zhang Jiutian who was not involved in the army, Lu Yunyou could only smile and apologize to Zhang Jiutian, and talked while walking. Not long after, the two came to the place to eat.
To their surprise, as soon as they arrived at the dining place, they met Fang Qing and Ni Youbin. Recently, Fang Qing and Ni Youbin have been sticking together. From being slightly at odds at the beginning to now they have a mutual affinity. The relationship between them has made great progress, and of course the reason is still because of Lu Yunyou.
After the two parties met, like the sugar baby, the first thing Fang Qing did was to ask Lu Yunyou where he went yesterday.
However, Lu Yunyou, who had just told Tangbao and the others about the matter, had to simplify the matter and tell it to Fang Qing and Ni Youbin.
"No wonder your eyes are a little special, as if you haven't rested for a long time." After Lu Yunyou explained the situation in a few words, Fang Qing's eyes slowly moved to Lu Yunyou's face.
"I didn't expect today's bandits to be so shameless, even ordinary villagers would not be spared," Ni Youbin sighed immediately afterwards. As a martial arts cultivator, in his eyes, the behavior of Hu Dalang and others was really declining.
"The world is like this, don't you two know the current situation in the world?" Zhang Jiutian smiled helplessly, with a hint of playfulness in his tone, but he did not mean to joke with the two of them.
"Hey, I really don't know how long this war will last?" Fang Qing sighed, showing a helpless look.
"It is not for us little people to decide the situation of the world. I just hope that no matter when the war ends, a few of us can live until the day the war ends." Fang Qing's bitter sigh triggered Ni Youbin's emotion, let alone deciding the situation of the world. In fact, they don't even understand the current situation clearly.
Similar to Ni Youbin's situation, to this day, Lu Yunyou still doesn't know the cause of the war. He only knows that the war may last for a long time. The difference is that compared with Ni Youbin and others, he now has more worries in his heart.
"Stop talking about these unpleasant things. How is Brother Lu's physical skills? Can you practice it for us later?" The more he said, the more helpless he became. After thinking that it was pointless for them to talk about these topics, Fang Qing Just change the topic.
"Physical skills are for strengthening the body, not for fighting. There is nothing interesting about it!" Lu Yunyou shook his head.
"Brother Lu, you haven't practiced with us for a long time, why don't you take some time to practice with us," taking over Fang Qing's words, Ni Youbin made a similar suggestion.
"I have to go to the school field to train in the afternoon. I may not have time, but Zhang Jiutian can accompany you to practice." During hesitation, Lu Yunyou suddenly thought of Zhang Jiutian. With Zhang Jiutian's strength, it would be no problem to compare with Fang Qing or Ni Youbin alone. So, he wanted to push the problem to Zhang Jiutian.
"If that's the case, that's okay," Fang Qing nodded in agreement with Lu Yunyou's suggestion the next moment.
"Well, I have no objection." Today is different from the past. Ever since the news about Lu Yunyou killing three high-level martial arts cultivators spread in the army, Lu Yunyou's image in Ni Youbin's heart has changed dramatically. Now think about it, even if he joins forces with Fang Qing None of them were Lu Yunyou's opponent, and he agreed to compete with Zhang Jiutian.
"If you two don't dislike it, Zhang will be happy to accompany you." Knowing that Lu Yunyou was deliberately throwing trouble at him, Zhang Jiutian was helpless and accepted the proposal with a smile.
In fact, Zhang Jiutian didn't have much interest in martial arts. He just wanted Fang Qing and Ni Youbin to understand the importance of spending more time practicing.
"Okay, let's eat first." I don't know why Zhang Jiutian agreed so readily. Fang Qing and Ni Youbin smiled one after another, and no one thought much about it.
After eating, the four of them returned to the camp together, and then competed directly outside Lu Yunyou's tent. In terms of strength, Zhang Jiutian was one of the top-notch beings among the six levels. He was outstanding in all aspects. Compared with him, Ni Youbin and Fang Qingdu only stood out unilaterally. In any case, the competition between the two and Zhang Jiutian was somewhat interesting, so before going to train, Lu Yunyou watched for a while.
More than a month has passed, and both Fang Qing and Ni Youbin have improved in strength. Unfortunately, whether it is Fang Qing or Ni Youbin, after facing Zhang Jiutian alone, their original advantages can no longer be regarded as advantages, because Zhang Jiutian is weak in all aspects. The performance is better than both of them.
After the two games were over, Lu Yunyou's most direct feeling was that Zhang Jiutian had made the most progress recently, while Fang Qing and Ni Youbin's progress was not obvious.
In addition, after seeing Zhang Jiutian show off his strength, he felt anxious for a while. Instead, he hoped that Zhang Jiutian could become a high-level martial artist as soon as possible, so that they could have a good competition.
With this thought in mind, after saying hello to the three of them, Lu Yunyou walked to the school grounds alone.
When we arrived at the school grounds, it was indeed very lively. Those who did not know the situation in the Western Region were actively training. When the soldiers of the headquarters saw Lu Yunyou in armor, they were all very excited and asked Lu Yunyou to inspect their training results.
Faced with the warm invitations of so many people, Lu Yunyou responded with a smile, and then practiced the most basic fighting skills with the soldiers below. Such simple exercises only existed in Lu Yunyou's memory before, but now that he has experienced them personally, it feels more familiar. More and more intense.
Time passed by in a hurry. One afternoon, Lu Yunyou was either practicing with the soldiers below or talking to other generals. After completely integrating into the atmosphere of the military camp, his every move became more general-like.
In the evening, the atmosphere in the military camp became more harmonious. Although the enemy was at hand, every soldier still gathered with others to chat during their breaks. There was no tense pre-war atmosphere at all.
In this way, three days passed in a flash, and on the morning of the fourth day when Lu Yunyou returned to the military camp, he received instructions on preparations for war not long after he arrived at the school grounds, because the actions of the coalition forces outside the city this morning were different from those in the past.
Before dawn, wisps of cooking smoke were already floating in the coalition camp. The smoke shrouded the entire coalition camp like mist. It was obvious that it was not the coalition craftsmen who had to get up early to rush to work, but that all the soldiers got up very early.
For Lan Xu, the news from the spies heralded the coming of a war. After confirming that the news was correct, he immediately issued military orders to prepare for war. Lu Yunyou and others immediately stopped training after receiving the instructions.
Immediately afterwards, at Lan Xu's request, Lu Yunyou and other generals deployed military forces above and below the city. After the troops were properly deployed, he and some generals went to report to Lan Xu.
By this moment, the coalition forces of Fei and Yang were already on their way to Fancheng. Thirty miles away, it would take less than two hours according to the normal marching speed. It was already an hour before the coalition forces set off, and there was still about an hour before the coalition forces would arrive. You can reach Fancheng.
An hour was either long or short. After receiving the personnel arrangement information conveyed by Lu Yunyou and others, Lan Xu ordered Li Jianran to go over and inspect it in person to confirm whether his side was truly fully prepared.
Due to the limited space on the city, most of the star troops were deployed below the city. The general layout was the same as before. The cavalry was still located directly opposite the city gate. On both sides of the cavalry were archers and infantry phalanxes that crossed in sequence. The city wall is two hundred meters away to prevent the enemy from shooting with large siege vehicles or bows and arrows.
After several battles, the number of cavalry in the Star Army has been reduced to 20,000. There are no extra horses, and the cavalry camp cannot replenish the number of people for the time being. However, as a defender, the strength of the cavalry has little impact on the defense of the city.
Contrary to the number of cavalry, the majority of the more than 100,000 soldiers are infantry, because those recruits are most suitable to start as infantry and serve as the main city defense force. Next, when facing the coalition forces, the infantry battalion will become the main force of the Star Army.
In order to ensure his own victory, Lan Xu had earlier ordered people to prepare enough defensive items on the city. Logs, stones and kerosene, three common defensive items, were piled up on one side of the city wall. The originally wide city wall was So it becomes much narrower.
After Li Jianran inspected the city and reported the situation to Lan Xu again, everything was ready in the city. They were just waiting for the enemy to arrive. Whether the coalition wanted to capture Fancheng in one fell swoop or to test the Star Army's combat power, today No matter what, they had to defend Fancheng, so before the coalition forces arrived, Lan Xu specially gave instructions to the generals.
In fact, compared with the generals of the Star Army, the ordinary Star Army below have more morale, because after Lan Xu conveyed the news of the Western Region, all the top Star Army officials were affected, and their morale was no longer the same as when they first arrived. Compare.
The original confidence turned into doubt, and everyone's face looked a little solemn. Standing among the generals, Lu Yunyou could feel an obvious difference, but he could not change this situation and could only take care of his own mood.
