“About a week.”
"Oh, then remember to be careful and pay attention to safety." Xia Mo reminded.
"Don't worry, I'm a level five lord now." Lu Ping said with a smile.
"Well, I'll wait for you."
........
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ping cleaned up the house and returned to the battlefield of the World.
After returning, everything in the territory was the same as before.
Huang Zhong and others who went out for reconnaissance also returned.
Lu Ping immediately summoned all the generals to discuss the matter. Lu Ping had been stuck at level five for five days and could not waste any more time.
"Everyone, after these few days of reconnaissance, I believe everyone has formed their own judgment on the direction of our next operation."
"General Yue, General Li, what are your opinions?" Lu Ping said to Yue Fei and the others.
"My Lord, I and the others unanimously agree that we should expand southwards. After all, the strength of the lords in the south is not very strong."
Li Jing and Yue Fei looked at each other and spoke slowly.
"My lord, I agree with General Li's opinion." Yue Fei said with a fist salute.
"We agree too~"
The other generals also expressed their agreement.
"Very good, do you have a specific plan?"
"My lord, we have a plan. It's divided into two phases, starting with the easy and then moving on to the difficult. Our first phase target is the three level five lords."
"The remaining three level six lords will be the second phase of the task."
"Okay, now that we have a plan, let's execute it. We'll send troops tomorrow."
Lu Ping said proudly.
The next day.
At daybreak, Lu Ping led his army out.
For this expedition, Lu Ping dispatched a total of 30,000 troops, half of which were cavalry and half were infantry.
After completing the level five challenge mission, including the 9,000 soldiers rewarded for the mission, Lu Ping now has a total force of 45,000.
This number is equivalent to the military strength of a seventh-level lord, which can be said to be a strong army.
Lu Ping was also very proud of this.
As for the military generals, except for Li Jing and four foreign generals who were responsible for staying behind, the rest of the generals will accompany them on this expedition.
Under normal circumstances, attacking a level five lord would not require so many soldiers and generals.
But Lu Ping intends to cut the Gordian knot and complete the first phase of the task as soon as possible.
Anyway, let’s get to level six first.
If you want to complete the task quickly, it is necessary to bring as many generals as possible.
Lu Ping came to the battlefield of the World and experienced many battles, big and small.
Gradually, Lu Ping discovered a problem. Lu Ping found that military generals played a huge role in siege warfare.
The role here does not refer to strategizing and winning battles from afar, but simply personal combat effectiveness.
The last battle with Andrew, Su Dingfang was a good example.
Su Dingfang was in charge of the frontal attack that day. Lu Ping witnessed with his own eyes that this guy had not retreated a single step since he stepped onto the top of the city wall. No matter how many people attacked, it was useless.
In a siege, if the attacking side can gain a foothold on the city wall, it basically means victory is certain.
This shows that military generals do play a huge role in actual combat.
Lu Ping brought so many generals this time for this reason.
Lu Ping wanted to completely crush his opponents by relying on his military superiority.
Lu Ping was also looking forward to the scene of twenty generals attacking the city together.
The army marched a hundred kilometers.
Arrived at the destination in the evening.
The reconnaissance intelligence is correct, this is a level five city.
Under normal circumstances, the military strength of a level five city is 5,000, and at most no more than 8,000.
Not to mention, the opponent's city wall is only level four, so it is not difficult to defeat the opponent.
Afterwards, Lu Ping ordered the army to set up camp.
After a day of forced march, the soldiers needed to rest, so Lu Ping decided to attack the city tomorrow morning.
The arrival of Lu Ping's army naturally made the opposing lord panic.
The lord's name is Li Gao, he is from Annan and is forty years old.
Li Gao came to the battlefield of all nations a year ago. He was lucky that there were no strong enemies where he settled, and he has been developing steadily until now.
But he didn't expect that his comfortable days would soon be over.
Realizing that something was wrong, Li Gao immediately called his men together to discuss countermeasures.
But in the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy or trick is useless.
After discussing for a long time, they still couldn't come to a conclusion, so they had no choice but to defend the city.
Li Gao now roughly understood that he would most likely die on the battlefield of the nations.
It’s a pity that he didn’t have the chance to say goodbye to his family.
The next morning.
Lu Ping was dressed in military uniform and riding a warhorse at the front.
On his left were three powerful generals: Yue Fei, Su Dingfang, and Huang Zhong, and the rest of the generals were scattered on both wings.
"Everyone, can we win this battle in one fell swoop?" Lu Ping shouted.
"Please rest assured, my lord. I will ensure that the city will be captured in one battle." Yue Fei said in a sonorous voice.
"Okay, let's start." Lu Ping waved his hand, and Yue Fei, Su Dingfang, and Huang Zhong then led the soldiers to launch an attack.
The 30,000-strong army rushed towards the opposite side in a mighty force.
Soon, the army rushed to the city under the arrows.
"Archers provide cover, and the rest of the soldiers follow me."
Yue Fei shouted loudly.
He led the charge and climbed the siege ladder under the cover of archers.
“Whoosh!”
"Puff~"
The sound of sharp arrows piercing the flesh continued to be heard, followed by bursts of screams.
Under the suppression of the archers, the defenders of the city wall suffered casualties.
“Kill!”
"kill!"
Under the leadership of Yue Fei, the siege army quickly climbed the city wall.
In less than ten minutes, the front city wall was captured.
Although Li Gao had been fighting back hard, he was unable to stop the defeat.
After only holding out for a quarter of an hour, Li Gao was beheaded by Su Dingfang with a single blow.
Su Dingfang was responsible for beheading the enemy lord, and was deliberately assigned by Lu Ping.
Because Su Dingfang has been exposed.
........
Not long after, the system upgrade sound was heard.
"Ding: Congratulations to the host for defeating the opponent and successfully occupying the opponent's city. You will receive 50,000 reputation and 50,000 experience."
"Ding: Congratulations to the host for defeating the opponent and inheriting all of his territory."
"Ding: Congratulations to the host for defeating the opponent and obtaining 1.1 million grain, 1 million timber, 900,000 stone, and 700,000 iron ore."
"Ding: Congratulations to the host for defeating the opponent and receiving an additional reward of 1,000 light cavalry."
"Ding: Remind the host that you can build two fortresses in the newly occupied territory."
"Ding: Remind the host that the village function can be activated after the lord reaches level 7."
"Haha, I'm rich again."
Hearing the system prompt, Lu Ping nodded with satisfaction.
As long as he could kill one more lord, reaching level six would be just around the corner.
.......
On the other side, Yue Fei was counting casualties and prisoners.
"My lord, in this battle our army suffered over 500 casualties, 2,000 prisoners, and three generals."
A moment later, Yue Fei came to report.
"Well, that's right, but why are there three fewer generals?" Lu Ping asked with a smile.
"My lord, they fought to the death and were killed by our subordinates."
"Oh, if you die, then you die."
"Go ask the rest if they are willing to surrender."
