Chapter 275 Let’s do something big!
With Lu Ning's ten thousand people, Lu Chenyang has the courage to do something big.
Lu Chenyang also gathered the 10,000 troops in the city, intending to attack from both sides with Lu Ning. He absolutely could not let the Tartar reinforcements join Zar.
But with only 20,000 troops, there was no way they could defeat the 100,000 reinforcements. So Lu Chenyang wrote to Tan Feng, asking him to quietly transfer 30,000 troops.
It is much easier to transfer troops from Tan Feng's side because there are trees to cover them, unlike the plains where there is nowhere to hide.
Lu Chenyang asked them to conceal their whereabouts and leave quietly so as to catch the enemy by surprise.
Tan Feng resolutely carried out Lu Chenyang's orders, regardless of the situation on his side. He immediately selected 30,000 troops and quietly left at night.
They left in batches for fear of alerting the Tartars.
Lu Chenyang personally led 10,000 garrison troops out of the city to join the Lu family army.
In order to boost morale, Lu Chenyang also hung the flag of the Lu family army on this army.
Needless to say, Lord Lu's methods of boosting morale and winning people's hearts are first-class. Just a flag has made them feel a sense of belonging, and they are all very proud.
Late at night, Lu Chenyang was waiting on the road. The Tartar reinforcements were ahead. He was waiting for the troops sent by Tan Feng to join him and then attack the Tartar reinforcements.
Lu Chenyang and others were getting a little anxious, as they were worried that the Tartar reinforcements would discover them.
What you fear will come true, the Tartars finally discovered it.
The deputy general was first ambushed and then attacked at night. In these two times, he lost nearly ten thousand people.
In Zar's absence, the deputy general could not bear such a heavy responsibility and just wanted to be cautious, so he sent out sentries to patrol.
As a result, during this patrol, they discovered that a large number of soldiers were approaching. Who else could approach them at this time except Lu Chenyang's men?
The patrolman immediately went back to report.
Lu Chenyang also keenly sensed that something was wrong. There were still 15,000 soldiers who had not arrived yet, but he could no longer wait, so he immediately sent out a signal.
This was a signal for Lu Ning to see, asking him to launch an attack immediately after seeing the signal.
Lu Chenyang also made a prompt decision and ordered an immediate attack to reinforce the troops.
The deputy general had just received the news and had no time to prepare before he was attacked from both sides.
It was the Lu family army that charged, with the garrison following behind. But the garrison, seeing the Lu family army's bravery and invincibility, felt a surge of pride in their hearts, not to mention that they were trying to protect their families.
Lu Jiajun's family is not in Jing'an City.
They couldn't let outsiders stand in their way. For a moment, the morale of the garrison soared and everyone rushed forward desperately.
Just roll up your sleeves and get to work!
As for the troops brought by Lu Ning and Wei Dong... most of them were originally civilians from Huai'an City. They had a blood feud with the Tartars, and each of them was even more fearless.
At this time, the Tartars had just suffered two losses and were in a state of panic. When they saw the high morale of the Lu family army, they lost more than half of their battle in terms of morale.
However, the advantage of having more people cannot be ignored, and it can be felt as soon as the two sides start fighting.
The Lu family army already had experience in fighting the Tatars. They just wanted to consume their enemies and not kill them, but just make them lose their fighting capacity.
Seeing that the Lu family army was gradually weakening, the remaining 15,000 soldiers finally arrived and rejoined the battle.
The Tartars finally felt hopeless. They clearly outnumbered the enemy, so why couldn't they annihilate them? How long would this war last?
Aren't they the most elite lions of Tatars? They were able to break through Yanhui Pass, so why can't they gain the upper hand now?
The Tatar soldiers felt a sense of decadence they had never felt before.
Even the deputy general thought so. Until now, they had never gained any advantage in the fight with Lu Chenyang and had always been on the defensive.
Why is this?
The feeling of being crushed by the enemy is really terrible.
The battle lasted until dawn, and the Lu family army gradually retreated.
This battle cost the enemy 30,000 men, which can be regarded as an unprecedented victory.
As for the Lu family army, 4,000 people were killed and 7,000 were injured. Most of them were slightly injured, and they quickly withdrew to treat their injuries.
The men brought by Lu Chenyang went directly to meet up with Tan Feng, while the men brought by Lu Ning and Wei Dong returned to the camp outside Huai'an City.
But when they got back, everyone was dumbfounded. Where were their tents?
The cook who had been left behind ran out, his face beaming with joy as he complained, "After you left, the Tartars came. Seeing we didn't leave anything for them, they stole all our tents. They stole everything!" He spoke each word with such rage, "You're so ignorant! General, you must tell the Lord and ask him to avenge us!"
Lu Ning: “…”
It's quite tiring.
Lu Ning was also very angry. Who would be so kind as to steal someone else's tent? Wouldn't they all have to sleep in the wilderness?
Lu Ning stood there with his hands on his waist and cursed the Tartars. After venting his anger, he gritted his teeth and told his soldiers that they would sleep outside tonight.
Wei Dong: “…”
The Lu family army encountered the worst day in their history and had no tents to live in.
At this time, Lu Chenyang also knew that he was taking his troops to meet up with Tan Feng.
In this battle, all available means have been used, and the results have been very significant, consuming a lot of Tatar troops.
Next, both sides will have to fight with real weapons.
When Tan Feng saw Lu Chenyang, he finally felt relieved. He felt as relieved as a chick seeing its mother hen.
Tan Feng, a strong man, actually looked at Lu Chenyang with eager eyes.
Lu Chenyang didn't bother to appease his sensitive and fragile heart, and said directly: "I have brought 10,000 people, the garrison of Huai'an City, and I will give them to you to train."
This time, Lu Chenyang was really dissatisfied with them. Whether they had practiced or not, they would know once they were actually brought to the battlefield.
So they had to train the soldiers. Lu Chenyang didn't want to just gather numbers, otherwise they would die on the battlefield. If they followed him, he would take responsibility for their lives.
He could not avoid casualties, but he hoped to minimize fearless deaths and injuries as much as possible.
After some thought, the deputy general, along with the reinforcements, finally decided to take a detour and return to the path leading to the woods. At least he was sure the main army was there, and the deputy general didn't want to cause any more trouble; he was truly frightened.
However, after a battle with Lu Chenyang, the number of reinforcements brought with them had been greatly reduced.
The moment the deputy general saw Zar, he immediately knelt down and apologized.
After Zar heard what happened, his face twisted and he finally realized how powerful Lu Chenyang was.
Zar helped the man up and said, "You are not to blame for this. I will spare your life. When we are on the battlefield, I will compete with Lu Chenyang!"
The deputy general was deeply moved: "Yes! Thank you, General, for not killing me."
Zar thought about what he had said before about the King of Nanyang being incompetent, and now he thought that he had wronged him.
Even he suffered such a great loss at the hands of Lu Chenyang, let alone King Nanyang?
Zaer thought about it and decided to send more troops. His biggest advantage now was his numbers, and he decided to make the most of it, so that he could feel more confident.
The Tartars once again increased their forces. The gates of Huai'an City were wide open, and the well-equipped Tartars set out in full force. Leading them were still the majestic cavalry, awe-inspiring and full of momentum.
When Lu Ning and others who were guarding the military camp saw this, they were so jealous that their eyes turned red.
Lu Ning said, "What's so great about it? So what if we have a lot of war horses? Who cares? We in the Lu family army are all brave and good at fighting. We don't care about their war horses!"
A person next to him heard it. He was also a bodyguard who came out of the escort agency with Lu Chenyang, and was also Lu Ning's senior brother.
The senior brother glanced at Lu Ning and said, "Don't say that. Our master is envious of the warhorse and is almost drooling. How can he not be covetous?"
Lu Ning was very angry and felt that he was boosting other people's ambitions.
Lu Ning was speaking sourly, unaware that he had escaped a disaster. The Tartars who had originally attacked the camp had come up empty-handed, having only stolen the tents. Seeing the Lu family army return, they planned to launch a surprise attack. However, they received word that Zhar was requesting reinforcements. Of course, the general's concerns were more important, so they didn't attack the camp.
Lu Ning didn't know all this yet and was just envious of other people's war horses.
Wei Dong had been staring at their army, counting the number of people, and then looked at Lu Ning: "My Lord, you told us to find the right time, and now the opportunity has arrived."
Lu Ning was stunned for a moment, then nodded heavily.
This time's reinforcements were different from the last time. Zar sent someone to tell them that even if there was a pit ahead, they had to take this route.
Look how scared the child is.
The reinforcements followed Zar's orders and went all the way. This time, however, the situation was extremely smooth, with no traps or traps along the way, allowing them to reunite with Zar's army without any problems.
