Volume IV Three Southern Counties Chapter 468 Tens of Thousands of Army
The moon and stars are sparse.
The soldiers of the Iron Blood Battalion took advantage of the darkness to attack, and tens of thousands of soldiers rushed towards the camp where Pei Yunzhang was located.
But he was discovered by the scouts before he even got close.
Then, Pei Yunzhang quickly became alert, and orders were sounded one after another in the camp.
Tens of thousands of troops came out of camp to meet the enemy!
"Lu Jiuzhang, if you don't get a good rest in the middle of the night, why are you planning a sneak attack?" Pei Yunzhang was a little depressed.
He had no intention of occupying Shuizhou County, but the situation was disrupted once the war started.
Unexpectedly, Lu Jiuzhang would not let him go.
During the day, he took the initiative to attack, and at night, Lu Jiuzhang led his team to sneak attack.
Pei Yunzhang had no choice but to fight against Lu Jiuzhang again.
Xuanji and Zhou Zheng, on the other hand, led a large army into the Nanxiang County camp and massacred the enemies.
As the two deputy battalion commanders of the Iron Blood Battalion, Xuanji and Zhou Zheng have grown extremely fast in the past two years. Xuanji has reached the peak of the fourth level of martial arts, as has the little fat Zhou Zheng.
Breakthrough to the third level of martial arts.
With such a level of cultivation, they are certainly the best among the Iron-Blooded Battalion, and their combat prowess has also reached the third level.
As if entering a deserted land, killing like crazy!
Then there are the soldiers of the Iron Blood Battalion, whose strength is improving almost every day.
The reaction ability and combat ability of this group of soldiers are extremely powerful.
During the battle, the sound of fighting continued.
Zhou Zhenghe Xuanji led a large force to attack, while Peng Qiang led a group of light cavalry to insert from the right.
The situation suddenly became chaotic.
The team led by Pei Yunzhang did not know that pain was a big problem. Unless Pei Yunzhang ordered a retreat, these people would not take a step back even if they died.
The battle lasted until early morning. The Iron Blood Battalion suffered as many as 10,000 casualties, while the team led by Pei Yunzhang suffered as many as 30,000 casualties.
When he returned to the camp, Pei Yunzhang was still injured.
Lu Jiuzhang's talent was too strong. The last time they fought, the outcome was still undecided.
This battle can already injure him.
The next time, it might be even harder to deal with.
After seeing the casualties of the Southern Elephant Army, Pei Yunzhang became even more worried. After two consecutive battles, the Southern Elephant Army lost more than 35,000 troops.
He also needs to spend 10,000 people to support the western rebels in their rebellion. As a result, he only has about 50,000 troops left to mobilize.
On the other hand, the Iron-Blooded Camp is still very powerful, with a steady stream of warriors joining in.
In the final analysis, the Iron-Blooded Battalion has now achieved great justice. If the lower-level warriors in the four counties are included, there are almost a million warriors.
With millions of warriors as logistical support, Lu Jiuzhang's strength will only get stronger and stronger.
Of course, Pei Yunzhang doesn't have anything to fear. Among the millions of warriors, it is estimated that half are warriors at the ninth level of martial arts, and another two to three hundred thousand are warriors at the eighth level of martial arts.
There are not many high-level warriors.
"Retract the troops and return to Jiangshui County." Pei Yunzhang ordered.
Just hold on to Jiangshui County firmly.
Lu Jiuzhang wanted to lead troops to attack Jiangshui County, but it was very difficult.
On the contrary, Pei Yunzhang took the initiative and could fight or retreat whenever he wanted.
…
Shuizhou County, Lu Jiuzhang returns!
It was not until the Southern Xiang Army suffered heavy losses that Lu Jiuzhang was satisfied and postponed the attack.
After receiving the order from Pei Yunzhang to retreat, he also brought the Iron Blood Battalion back to its station in Shuizhou County.
As soon as Lu Jiuzhang arrived, the secret guard Luo Yidao came over and said, "Captain Lu, there is someone from Beilu County looking for you."
"Beilu County City? Who is it?" Lu Jiuzhang asked.
"The current governor of Beilu County sent someone here." Luo Yidao said, "The other party said that the governor of Beilu County is an old friend of yours and wants to meet you."
"Bring it here!"
Lu Jiuzhang said.
After a while, a seventh-level martial artist walked into Lu Jiuzhang's camp.
"Meet Camp Commander Lu!"
The warrior bowed his head and said, "I am here under the order of the governor to deliver a secret letter."
Lu Jiuzhang glanced at the envelope and saw that it was signed by a person named Wan Tianrui.
Lu Jiuzhang remembered that when he was serving in the Demon Slaying Department of Beilu County, this was the Lord Commander of the County at that time, and the relationship between the two was not bad.
Later, Lu Jiuzhang still contradicted the new emperor in the city of Beilu County, and then went to the trial grounds of the three southern counties.
Time has changed and a full three years have passed.
A lot of things happened in the past three years, and Lu Jiuzhang was not the Lu Jiuzhang he was at that time, and he was suppressed by others.
At this time, he seemed to be one of the most powerful people in the Zhou Dynasty.
Moreover, he has become a truly strong person in terms of cultivation.
Opening the envelope, the first paragraph was about the county governor Wan Tianrui recounting the friendship in the past. At the end of the letter was a paragraph about the black mist ruins that appeared in Changshui County, Lu Jiuzhang's hometown.
And there are two places where Sheriff Wan Tianrui hopes Lu Jiuzhang can go back and visit.
After all, Beilu County is also Lu Jiuzhang's hometown.
"Did Sheriff Wan say anything else?" Lu Jiuzhang looked at the warriors in the audience and asked.
"Shou Wan said that it would be great if you could come back. If you can't come back, it's okay. There's no need to force it," the warrior said.
"I see!"
Lu Jiuzhang nodded, "By the way, what's your name?"
"The villain's name is Wan He, and he is the nephew of Commander Wan."
The seventh-level martial artist replied.
If it had been back then, when the Zhou Dynasty was not yet in chaos, such a young seventh-level martial artist would have had a bright future.
It's a pity that in troubled times heroes emerge.
In the Zhou Dynasty at this time, the young generation of geniuses emerged one after another.
With such a level of cultivation at this age, it seems a bit unsatisfactory.
"You can rest here for half a day. After I explain some things, I will go with you to Beilu County." Lu Jiuzhang said.
The main thing to explain is the next defense of the Iron Blood Battalion.
Nothing else.
Lu Jiuzhang also found the empress Zhou Yao and told her about her departure.
Overall, let's take a breath.
In the next period of time, the four counties can keep a low profile and avoid conflicts with other forces.
Empress Zhou Yao actually wanted to go with Lu Jiuzhang, but she was troubled by worldly matters.
One of the key figures of the Four Counties has left. If the other one also leaves, there will definitely be chaos.
…
Without bringing anyone else, Lu Jiuzhang went with the big black dog, Bai Xiaosu, and the county guard's nephew Wanhe.
Senior Brother Wu Rendi also gave Lu Jiuzhang the Yidao amulet, which contained the shadow of Senior Brother Wu Rendi.
If Lu Jiuzhang is in danger, he can use it quickly.
This amulet has half the top combat power of Senior Brother in his heyday.
Other than that, there is nothing to arrange.
Several of them left together at the beginning, and now they should go back together.
Bai Xiaosu's home is also in Changshui County. The black mist ruins should have appeared, so I will go back and take a look this time.
At that time, Lu Jiuzhang was still being hunted, and he got in by chance.
