Two hundred thousand refugees are equivalent to Lu Ping having twenty thousand more soldiers.
What’s even more infuriating is that Lu Ping actually expanded the city wall and dug a moat.
Now, old Andrew couldn't sit still anymore.
Old Andrew is not an idiot, he knows Lu Ping's strength very well.
He also knew that Lu Ping had more than a dozen famous historical generals under his command.
The only way to defeat Lu Ping is to crush him with superior military forces.
And he only has one chance, otherwise he will die without a burial place.
But now...
“Damn it!”
"how so!"
"But, so what?"
"I still have a trump card to play, Lu Ping, you must die this time."
Old Andrew's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he gritted his teeth.
.........
After the city walls and moat were completed, Lu Ping's preparations were basically ready.
It doesn't matter if he's not ready. Lu Ping has done everything he should do.
Next, Lu Ping could only wait for the population to grow naturally and recruit as many soldiers as possible.
Another thing is to strengthen the reconnaissance of the surrounding lords to prevent them from taking advantage of the situation to rob or join forces to besiege.
In addition, Lu Ping also has to redistribute the generals.
The bandits have disappeared and all the military officers stationed in the village have now withdrawn.
Currently, Dongling City where Lu Ping is located is overcrowded with military generals, while Li Jing's side in Xiling City has less than thirty people.
In order to strengthen the defense of Xiling City, Lu Ping simply divided the generals into two groups, and also divided more than 20,000 soldiers into two groups.
Of course, these are just temporary arrangements.
The battle plan against Old Andrew has not yet been determined.
After confirmation, Lu Ping will make further adjustments.
.......
Another half month passed in the blink of an eye.
At this time, there were less than three days left before Lu Ping left the novice stage.
Lu Ping also received accurate information that old Andrew was already stepping up preparations for war.
After repeated research by Li Jing, Bai Qi and others, the battle plan was finally finalized.
The solution is to abandon the village and defend the city.
This solution is old-fashioned and has nothing new to offer.
However, when the enemy has superior forces and limited range of maneuver, this plan is undoubtedly the safest.
Another advantage is that defending the city can fully unleash the power of military skills.
On the contrary, the damage caused by the enemy general's skills to your side will be greatly reduced.
Lu Ping also strongly agreed with this plan.
Immediately, Lu Ping came to the barracks and recruited all 36,000 soldiers that could be recruited.
Adding the more than 20,000 troops before, Lu Ping's final military strength was 58,000.
As a result, the two county towns were each defended by nearly 30,000 soldiers.
In terms of military generals, Li Jing and Bai Qi were the chief and deputy commanders of Xilingcheng, while Yue Fei and Huo Qubing were the commanders of Donglingcheng.
The other generals were also divided into two.
At this point, Lu Ping had completed all his preparations.
Next, just wait for old Andrew to arrive.
..........
Three days later, old Andrew indeed sent troops.
But at this moment, an accident happened.
Lu Ping received a report from the scouts that the number of troops dispatched by old Andrew this time was as many as 150,000.
"How is that possible?"
"One hundred and fifty thousand?"
Upon hearing the news, Lu Ping was stunned.
"My lord, I guarantee with my life that the previous reconnaissance results will not be wrong."
Su Dingfang, who was in charge of reconnaissance, was also shocked and hurried forward to explain.
"You don't need to explain, I naturally believe you."
"But where did these 50,000 people come from?"
Lu Ping was puzzled.
"Oh~ It's a teleportation array."
"Damn it, I should have thought of that sooner."
Lu Ping suddenly woke up.
Old Andrew couldn't have conjured up 50,000 people out of thin air.
A population of one million is needed to recruit 100,000 soldiers, and 150,000 soldiers require a population of one and a half million.
Old Andrew couldn't have had so many people.
Since it didn't appear out of thin air, it could only be the troops supported by other lords.
Lu Ping guessed correctly. In order to avenge his son and to ensure that everything would go smoothly, old Andrew not only borrowed soldiers but also borrowed a lot of food.
To this end, old Andrew spent almost half of his family fortune.
"My lord, if the enemy really has 150,000 troops, it will be difficult for us to win this battle." Yue Fei said with a serious expression.
"Yes, I understand."
Lu Ping nodded.
What Yue Fei said was the truth, the matter was obvious.
As long as old Andrew concentrates his forces to attack any city, Lu Ping will never be able to defend it.
"I miscalculated this time."
"But it doesn't matter. He has a trump card, don't I have one too?"
Lu Ping sneered.
Since old Andrew was playing dirty with him, he didn't mind playing along.
"You guys proceed as planned. I'll go back to the county government office and be back soon."
After saying that, Lu Ping hurried back to the county government office.
........
Ten minutes later, Lu Ping returned to the city wall.
When I came back, there were five more people around me.
These five people were none other than Zhang Jue, Xi Shi and four other women.
Lu Ping originally thought that he could just let Zhang Jiao use his ultimate move to solve the problem once and for all.
But on second thought, it’s better not to use the ultimate move if possible.
Use it once and you need to rest for half a year.
If anything else happens during this period, Lu Ping will have no trump card left.
Therefore, Lu Ping thought of Xi Shi and the other three.
Although the four daughters of Xishi cannot be used as military generals, their personal strength is unmatched.
If they were to launch a surprise attack and kill old Andrew, the problem could also be solved.
Taking the enemy's head in the midst of thousands of troops may sound like a fantasy, but there is a chance.
