Volume Four Southern Three Counties Chapter 439 Yufu County Monster
Indeed, we must not only pay attention to the situation of monsters in Yufu County, but also pay attention to the situation in Nanxiang County to prevent Pei Yunzhang and others from sneak attacks.
It's not easy for Pei Yunzhang to guess when he's doing things haphazardly, and sometimes he may have miraculous results.
The so-called beating the master to death with random punches probably means this.
At this time, Peng Qiang hurriedly walked in, "Jiuye, something happened. Yufu County has suspended its offensive. Yao Wuming, the prince of the Yao clan, led part of the army to retreat. It seems that he wants to support Shuizhou County.
.”
"How long is the distance to Shuizhou County?"
"If it's a light cavalry that travels day and night, I'm afraid they can get here in a day and a half. After all, most demon soldiers are good at running. Unless there are special circumstances, their speed is two or three times that of humans."
"For a large army, it will take at least three days to arrive."
Peng Qiang said.
"It doesn't matter, there are still three days." Lu Jiuzhang nodded.
Even if the light cavalry is here, after traveling a long distance, will they dare to take action against the Iron Blood Battalion?
At the very least, we have to wait until the big troops arrive before we dare to take action.
So Lu Jiuzhang is not worried.
"The 40,000-strong army feigned an attack, and the 10,000-strong army retreated 100 kilometers," Lu Jiuzhang said.
"Okay, I'll go give orders now."
Zhou Zheng nodded. He is the deputy battalion commander of the Iron Blood Battalion and will take the lead in the charge.
"Lead the army to retreat and leave it to you, Peng Qiang. Don't retreat all at once to avoid clues." Lu Jiuzhang said, "In batches, several hundred or a thousand people retreat at a time. After retreating, they hide in the jungle.
middle."
…
On the second day, they still attacked the city, but still pretended to attack.
However, the number of people attacking the city was reduced to 30,000.
The soldiers who retreated yesterday retreated again, probably retreating about 300 kilometers.
Today's 10,000 soldiers retreated 100 kilometers.
On the third day, at noon, the number of people attacking the city was reduced to 20,000.
The number of soldiers who retreated reached about 500 kilometers on the first day, and the number of soldiers who retreated on the second day reached 300 kilometers.
When the large demon army was about to reach the battlefield, almost two to three hundred kilometers away, the Iron Blood Battalion army retreated instantly.
Lu Jiuzhang had already left, following the first large force.
It covers 400 kilometers in half a day.
This is the first large force to retreat. It is almost a thousand kilometers away from the battlefield in Shuizhou County. This location is near Jiangshui County.
"kill!"
Lu Jiuzhang personally led 10,000 Iron Blood Battalion soldiers and rushed into Jiangshui County City.
These 10,000 warriors are basically at the seventh level of martial arts, with a large number of strong ones at the sixth or even fifth level of martial arts.
There are even more than 200 fourth-level martial arts practitioners.
With so many strong men, it only took two hours to annihilate all 50,000 demon soldiers in Jiangshui County City.
Among them, Lu Jiuzhang charged forward and killed the most monsters. He alone killed at least more than a thousand monsters.
Then, the second group of Iron Blood Battalion soldiers arrived, led by Xuanji, and surrounded the escaping monsters, cutting off their escape route.
Then a large army led by Zhou Zheng rushed to Jiangshui County.
Fifty thousand soldiers from the Iron Blood Battalion completely occupied Jiangshui County.
The flag symbolizing the Zhou Dynasty was planted on the city wall of Jiangshui County.
Today, Jiangshui County is recovered.
At this time, Pei Yunzhang completely couldn't see through Lu Jiuzhang's approach.
In the room, Pei Yunzhang kept pacing, but his eyes were fixed on the map.
It is obviously not a good time to seize Jiangshui County at this time.
In the previous battles, the city walls were damaged, and there were attacks from both inside and outside, especially with the so-called rebels from Nanxiang County. If both sides took action together, Lu Jiuzhang's 50,000-strong army might collapse in an instant.
"My lord, what exactly does Lu Jiuzhang want?"
Yang Wuyun asked.
"It's hard to say!"
Pei Yunzhang has been looking at the map for a long time, but he still can't figure out the reason.
"Jiangshui County is also the channel for the demon clan to enter the Great Zhou Dynasty, but it is not the only one. Even without Jiangshui County, those demon clans can quickly attack the nearby counties and open a channel."
"But I guess that Yao Wuming's temperament may directly launch a charge against Jiangshui County."
"No matter how elite the Iron Blood Battalion is, with only 50,000 people, how can it withstand so many monsters?"
"Do you still expect us to take action?"
"Then Lu Jiuzhang can't be dreaming, right? I just want him to die in Yao Wuming's hands!"
Pei Yunzhang sneered.
…
Jingzhao Mansion.
In the imperial city.
Emperor Zhou Qian of Chang'an also stared at the map and never relaxed.
"Report to Your Majesty, the demon clan has withdrawn its troops. The demon clan prince Yao Wuming led the demon soldiers to rush to the aid of Shuizhou County. It seems that Mr. Lu from Yiyun County took action and attacked Shuizhou County, which attracted the demon clan prince Yao Wuming to lead his troops back to defend."
A eunuch said.
"What? Lu Jiuzhang actually took the initiative to help us?"
Emperor Chang'an was a little suspicious, "Is it because I helped him several times before, and now he is repaying me? Or is he dissatisfied with Zhou Yao and wants to help me secretly and rebuild our old relationship with me?"
"Well……"
This possibility cannot be ruled out!
"If the order goes down, if Yiyun Gong and Lu Jiuzhang can turn around and make peace, I can make him king! This is the first prince with a different surname since the founding of the Zhou Dynasty!"
Emperor Chang'an said.
However, after he finished speaking, another eunuch broke in outside and said, "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the front. Lu Jiuzhang pretended to attack Shuizhou County for three days, but in fact he changed his position and led an army of 10,000 to annihilate the monsters in Jiangshui County and re-establish Occupied Jiangshui County."
"What?"
Emperor Zhou Qian of Chang'an was even more delighted, "I didn't expect that the Lu Qing family understood my feelings so well. As a result, the Jingzhao Mansion is safe. Such a great achievement. When the Lu Qing family comes back, I will definitely give you a big reward."
"It's a pity that the Lu Qing family is not married yet. Otherwise, we can get married and betroth my youngest daughter to the son of the Lu Qing family. If the Lu Qing family gives birth to a daughter, she will become the crown princess. I will definitely help the daughter of the Lu Qing family. Become a queen!”
Chang'an Emperor Zhou Qian said excitedly.
"How many demon soldiers are left in Yufu County now?" Chang'an Emperor Zhou Qian asked.
"Less than a hundred thousand!"
Eunuch Report.
"Gather a force to annihilate all the demon soldiers in Yufu County. Even if we can't annihilate them all, we must repel them, regain control of Yufu County, and then build defense projects to maximize the impact before the next wave of demon soldiers attack. Increase the defense of Yufu County."
Emperor Chang'an ordered.
He is not just a loser, he still knows some common sense about using soldiers to fight.
It's just that in Pei Yunzhang's eyes, his intelligence is just childish.
But since His Majesty gave the order, all the soldiers had no choice but to attack Yufu County in an attempt to recapture the city from the monster.
Fortunately, after Yao Wuming left, the monsters in the city had no backbone, and they were defeated without much effort. Of the 100,000 monster soldiers, the remaining 80,000 fled Yufu County.
This battle can be considered a victory.
Emperor Chang'an was overjoyed and hosted a banquet for all his ministers.
