"Thank you, my lord."
After hearing this, the two sat down and listened to Lu Ping's instructions.
"I have called you two here to do something."
Lu Ping pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.
"I am willing to obey the lord's orders!"
Su Dingfang and Huo Qubing spoke immediately.
"That's right. You two will lead the cavalry out of the city immediately."
"After leaving the city, you don't have to do anything. Just find a secret place to hide and wait for my orders."
"I understand."
The two said respectfully.
"Okay, you two follow me."
After Lu Ping finished speaking, he brought Su Dingfang and Huo Qubing to the barracks, and then recruited 80,000 heavy cavalry in one go.
"My Lord? What are you doing......"
Seeing Lu Ping recruiting so many heavy cavalry, Su Dingfang and the other two immediately looked solemn.
"Don't ask why. I can't say for sure. I just want to be prepared."
Lu Ping said calmly.
"I understand."
"Well, you will set off immediately. Take all the light cavalry with you. Remember to move in secret."
"The deputy will pick them himself and bring more."
Lu Ping warned.
Upon hearing this, Su Dingfang and the other man didn't dare to waste time talking and hurried down to prepare.
Soon, Su Dingfang and his comrades led 150,000 cavalrymen out of the city.
On the city wall, Lu Ping felt relieved when he saw the team disappear from his sight.
Lu Ping is cautious by nature. Although he doesn't think that this incident is directed at him, it is always better to be prepared with an extra layer of arrangements.
..........
In a blink of an eye, seven days passed.
During this period, Tang Fang and others also moved one after another.
Everything is normal in the territory and nothing has happened.
This made Lu Ping wonder if he was being too suspicious and wasting tens of millions of grains and recruiting so many heavy cavalry.
But as soon as this thought flashed through my mind, an accident happened.
"Ding, your territory is attacked!"
"Warning! The enemy forces number over a million. Host, please prepare for battle as soon as possible!"
"Warning! The enemy is only one day away from your main city!"
......
The sudden system voice made Lu Ping's face change drastically.
Lu Ping never expected this to happen.
Lu Ping immediately understood that this was a huge conspiracy, a conspiracy specifically targeting him.
From opening the migration function, to stopping teleportation, stopping trading, to sending troops to attack, everything was calculated.
Most importantly, the timing was perfect.
The seven-day migration period had just passed, and Lu Ping couldn't escape now even if he wanted to.
This is no coincidence.
There is no doubt that the system is also involved.
Lu Ping couldn't figure out who planned all this.
What is even more incomprehensible is why the system is involved in this.
But no matter what, things have come to this point, and Lu Ping has no choice but to deal with it.
Although the enemy has one million troops, Lu Ping is not without a chance of winning this battle.
Lu Ping also has a lot of troops, and he is on the defensive.
Not to mention, Lu Ping made some preparations in advance.
Thinking of this, Lu Ping hurried to the barracks and recruited 60,000 heavy cavalry.
Immediately, Lu Ping ordered Yue Fei to lead his troops out of the city and wait for an opportunity to act.
Since the enemy is attacking, they must know Lu Ping's background very well, and they must also know the strength of Lu Ping's troops.
These 60,000 heavy cavalry are Lu Ping’s apparent troops.
Lu Ping's real trump card was the 150,000 heavy cavalry led by Huo Qubing and Su Dingfang.
Lu Ping is now somewhat relieved that he was more cautious at that time.
Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.
After Yue Fei led his troops out of the city, Lu Ping immediately informed Gao Tianyi and Xia Mo of the news.
Then, without waiting for the two men's reply, he immediately sent scouts to gather intelligence and summoned all the generals to discuss the matter.
.......
"Everyone, the enemy is coming in full force, with a force numbering well over a million."
“So, this battle is not easy to fight.”
In the meeting hall, Lu Ping said with a serious expression.
Upon hearing this, the generals' faces grew slightly grim.
No one expected that the invading enemy would be so powerful.
However, everyone quickly regained their composure.
"My lord, although the enemy is powerful, we don't need to panic."
"The most urgent task is to find out the specific situation of the enemy and then respond accordingly."
Li Jing spoke.
"My lord, I agree with General Li's suggestion."
"Although we don't have the advantage in terms of manpower, we do have a large number of cavalry. If the enemy doesn't have many cavalry, we might have a chance of winning."
Bai Qi also echoed.
Seeing this, Lu Ping also nodded.
He also agreed with Li Jing and Bai Qi's views that Lu Ping's biggest advantage now was heavy cavalry.
Of course, this also depends on the number of enemy heavy cavalry.
If the enemy has a large number of heavy cavalry, it will be difficult for Lu Ping to win the battle.
"Reporting to the Lord, the enemy's situation has been basically ascertained."
At this time, a scout came to report.
"speak!"
"Yes, my lord."
"After verification, the total number of the invading enemy troops is 1.35 million, including 180,000 heavy cavalry, 90,000 light cavalry, and the rest are all infantry."
"The enemy is currently attacking from three directions: east, south, and west."
"The enemy to the east has 350,000 troops and is two days' march away."
"The enemy forces to the south and west each number 500,000, and are still a day's journey from us."
The scouts quickly reported the specific situation of the enemy.
"hiss...."
After hearing the scout's report, even though the generals were mentally prepared, they still couldn't help but gasp.
One million and three hundred and fifty thousand, this number is too terrifying. Lu Ping's troops are not even a fraction of the enemy's.
Lu Ping was also very surprised. The system alarm had previously been one million, but now it was 350,000 more.
"How many cavalrymen are there in the east?"
Bai Qi asked.
"General Bai, the enemy to the east has 80,000 heavy cavalry and 30,000 light cavalry."
"The other two armies each have 50,000 heavy cavalry and 30,000 light cavalry."
The scout quickly replied.
"My lord, time is of the essence. I believe we should attack immediately and defeat the enemy in the east first."
Upon hearing this, Bai Qi immediately suggested.
"My lord, I also believe we should attack immediately, but I think we should attack the enemy to the west or south, not the east."
Li Jing stood up and said.
"My lord, I agree with the two generals. The enemy is far more powerful than ours. We should defeat them one by one."
"But whether it is specifically west or east, I think this matter needs to be discussed later."
Zhang Liao stepped forward and said.
"My lord, although the troops in the east are few, they have 80,000 heavy cavalry. It will not be easy to take them down in one battle."
"Although the western and southern sides have a large number of troops, they only have 50,000 heavy cavalry. If we concentrate all of our heavy cavalry, our chances of victory will be much higher."
