"Schultz, you run, I'll stay and cover you."
Seeing this, Lawrence laughed bitterly.
"No, let's run together!"
Schultz said anxiously.
"Don't be silly. There are cavalry behind us. How can we possibly escape?"
"Don't argue with me. Take the cavalry and run away first. I'll cover you. Otherwise, we'll all die here."
"Just remember to avenge me."
Lawrence said firmly.
"Well, I will avenge you."
Hearing this, Schultz hesitated for a moment and finally nodded in agreement.
Schultz then fled with the remaining 20,000 cavalry without hesitation.
As he watched Schultz walk away, a look of determination flashed across Lawrence's face.
Lawrence was determined to fulfill Schultz's wish with his own death.
"Come on, I'll fight you."
"All troops line up and prepare to meet the enemy."
Lawrence shouted loudly and prepared to lead the army to fight a decisive battle with Su Dingfang.
Lawrence's idea was good, but unfortunately, the script did not follow his ideas.
Seeing Schultz leading the army to escape, Su Dingfang immediately changed his strategy.
He actually ordered the cavalry to bypass Lawrence and chase in the direction of Schultz's escape.
“Damn it!”
"Asshole! Sly fellow!"
Seeing this scene, Lawrence went crazy.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and led the army towards his own nest.
Since you don't hit me, why should I stay and run away?
Maybe I can escape back.
I have to say, this guy has a very unique imagination. He can even figure this out.
While Lawrence and Schultz were fleeing in panic, Lu Ping had already ended the battle.
Immediately, Lu Ping ordered Li Jing to lead the team to pursue the enemy.
The order Lu Ping gave to Li Jing was to either destroy all the enemy troops on the way or to pursue them to their lair.
The same order was also given to Su Dingfang.
As for Lu Ping himself, he was responsible for staying behind.
The outcome of the war is now obvious.
There is no need for Lu Ping to take action in person, not to mention that Lu Ping still has a lot of things to do.
For example, upgrading resource buildings, or scolding a district committee.
Just half an hour ago, Lu Ping suddenly received an email from the District 1 Committee.
In the email, the other party questioned Lu Ping in a very harsh tone, asking why he ignored the committee's order and refused to hand over 10 million resources.
It would be strange if Lu Ping wasn't angry after receiving such an email.
In fact, if we look at the matter objectively, the committee really misunderstood Lu Ping, because Lu Ping really forgot about it.
Of course, even if he hadn't forgotten, Lu Ping would never spend a penny of resources.
Lu Ping knew very well that these resources would eventually fall into the hands of certain people with connections.
More importantly, Lu Ping seriously doubted the authenticity of the incident itself.
Although the committee has the power to levy resources, it has always been within a reasonable range, not to mention that Lu Ping just donated four million resources two months ago.
Lu Ping could even boldly speculate that this resource collection might be a small trick done by some people in private.
After realizing this, Lu Ping certainly would not be polite to the committee. He immediately wrote an email in which he scolded the committee harshly.
Then, Lu Ping sent another email to Gao Tianyi to tell him about this matter.
Lu Ping now has connections with the military, and I believe Gao Tianyi will not sit idly by after knowing about this.
Once it was done, Lu Ping put this troublesome matter aside and started to build and upgrade the farmland.
In preparation for this battle, Lu Ping recruited 100,000 heavy cavalry at one go, and the food supply had been on the alert since yesterday.
Therefore, it is necessary to give priority to building farmland.
Spending nearly 10 million resources, Lu Ping built 100,000 acres of farmland in one go and reached the construction limit.
Then, Lu Ping upgraded all the farmland to level eight.
Subsequently, Lu Ping built five thousand houses and ten villages.
Finally, Lu Ping built five logging camps, five mining camps, and ten quarries.
Everything was done, and most of the resources Lu Ping had obtained from eliminating Iverson were also consumed.
However, Lu Ping did not feel any regret, after all, the resources were meant to be used.
Not to mention, it won’t be long before Lu Ping will be able to harvest more resources.
After the upgrade was completed, Lu Ping began to recruit generals.
After Iverson's death, Lu Ping captured six generals including Gudelis and Karios.
The result was of course not surprising, all the captured generals were willing to surrender.
Considering that more generals would be captured in the future, Lu Ping traded six generals to Xia Mo without hesitation.
This time Xia Mo did not refuse, but accepted it readily.
In the past few days, Xia Mo has been by Lu Ping's side and has seen everything that happened.
She also had a deeper understanding of Lu Ping's strength, and she knew that Lu Ping had no shortage of military generals.
Of course, if it’s impossible to get it for free, then the old rules will apply and Xia Mo will have to pay for it.
Lu Ping could do nothing about it.
As a result, Lu Ping accidentally earned another 1 billion yuan.
However, Lu Ping would not touch any of this money, including the money he had earned from selling the generals.
Lu Ping just kept it for Xia Mo temporarily.
Otherwise, if Xia Mo's father finds out about this in the future, Lu Ping will not even have room to explain.
..........
Soon, three days passed.
For three days, Su Dingfang and Li Jing led their troops to keep chasing Lawrence and Schultz.
Along the way, battles broke out between soldiers of both sides.
However, since Lawrence and Schultz were only interested in escaping, Su Dingfang and Li Jing did not achieve much success.
Of course, this was also Lu Ping's intentional result.
Yue Fei led his army to the city of Lawrence last night. The main city of Lawrence was already in danger under the siege of Bai Qi.
Yue Fei's arrival meant that Lawrence's death was imminent.
Schultz was not in a much better situation. Although his main city was not besieged, Lu Bu had already led his troops to ambush him on his return journey. With Lu Bu ambushing in front and Su Dingfang chasing him from behind, it was also a dead end.
Even if Schultz could escape from the pursuit and blockade of Lu Bu and Su Dingfang, it would not be a big deal. He could escape, but his 20,000 cavalrymen would definitely not be able to escape.
What good would it be if the commander escaped alone?
Isn’t it still a dead end?
In this situation, Lu Ping really doesn't need to fight the opponent head-on.
Things turned out just as Lu Ping had expected.
Under Yue Fei's fierce attack, Lawrence's city was breached at noon the next day.
The city was broken, and Lawrence's fate was naturally the same as Iverson's, torn into pieces and disappeared from the world.
Immediately afterwards, Schultz was also killed on the spot by the pincer attack from Lu Bu and Su Dingfang.
In half a day, two level ten lords died one after another.
When Lu Ping received the system prompt, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
He finally won this battle.
Lu Ping then ordered his generals to return and immediately dismissed 80,000 heavy cavalry.
