Chapter 316: Fighting Us
Maybe everyone thought that Lu Chenyang came to Yanhui Pass with such a threatening momentum that he must be shouting and provoking outside the city, forcing Zar to accept his death, as they were about to attack the city!
That’s what Ji Ping thought.
Ji Ping was a man of the Jianghu, a former hero who supported the weak and fought against the strong. His martial arts prowess led him to his current position thanks to his military prowess. However, he didn't know much about Yanhui Pass in Dagan. He simply blindly trusted his lord, believing that since Lu Chenyang had personally dispatched the troops, there must be no problem! He was certain to be invincible wherever he went.
Ji Ping has a natural confidence in Lu Chenyang. Of course, Lu Chenyang has always been so powerful.
But Ji Ping didn't expect that as soon as they arrived at Yanhui Pass, before they could go find the Tatars, the Tatars attacked them first.
Just after arriving outside Yanhui Pass, before repairs were completed, the long bridge over the moat was lowered and powerful Tatar cavalry appeared at the gate.
The black armor gleamed brightly as he stood there, looking menacing.
As everyone knows, Lu Chenyang has always coveted the cavalry and dreamed of forming a cavalry unit. His eyes were red with envy.
Tan Feng felt a little embarrassed. He saw his master staring at the other party's cavalry.
He had to remind him: "Sir, stop looking, we are coming to fight."
Yes, it was the Tatars who came to fight them, not them who came to fight the Tatars.
Zarna still holds a grudge against being beaten without being able to fight back, and is waiting to get his revenge.
Just thinking about defeating Lu Chenyang at Yanhui Pass makes my heart beat faster.
The Tatars rushed over quickly, with the cavalry leading the way, and they really came to attack him.
Fortunately, the winter training was not in vain, and the soldiers were able to face the cavalry in an orderly manner.
The Yanhui Army, in particular, was very experienced in facing Tatar cavalry and immediately formed a battle formation.
The first to bear the brunt are the sniper teams formed specifically to target cavalry. The weapons in their hands are the latest ones made in the weapons workshop, and are specially designed to target cavalry.
However, due to the low production volume, it was only equipped to some soldiers, who were specifically responsible for dealing with cavalry.
This time the Tatars came with great force, determined to avenge their previous defeat. The Lu family army was stunned for a moment but immediately rose up in resistance.
The battle lasted until dark. Both sides suffered casualties, so there was no clear winner. Both sides were evenly matched and withdrew their troops.
The Lu family army suffered few casualties, but many were severely wounded, suffering internal injuries from being trampled by horses' hooves. The soldiers set up camp, first accommodating the wounded. Zhao Xi and the military doctors were kept busy.
Lu Chenyang was also exhausted in the tent. Zu Xingwei sat beside him and bandaged his wound. His arm was slightly injured today.
He was still muttering, "These Tartars, don't they know that the trap was set up by me? They're all coming for me. How stingy they are!"
Lu Chenyang chuckled and stepped forward to bandage him before saying, "The Tatars hate me the most, and you don't even have a chance to be in line." He patted Zu Xingwei on the shoulder and said, "You've been protecting me all day today. You've done so much to protect me single-handedly. Thank you for your hard work."
Lu Ning was skilled in Qinggong, but his martial arts skills were mediocre. On the battlefield, Zu Xingwei, with his immense strength, and Tan Feng, with his extraordinary skills, were the main force, guarding Lu Chenyang closely and protecting him from harm.
Zu Xingwei was a man of great stature and strength, and he was very brave in fighting against many enemies alone.
Zu Xingwei grinned: "As long as I can protect the adults, this little injury is nothing!"
Lu Chenyang smiled, patted him on the shoulder and kept it in mind.
Lu Chenyang stood up and walked to the table. He said thoughtfully, "Have the sentries alert tonight. The Tatars are very vengeful and will most likely launch a night raid."
Night attack? That was the tactic the Lu family army used against the Tatars before. It seems the Tatars are planning to retaliate.
He knew what Lu Chenyang had done. He issued several orders in succession, and several generals accepted the tasks and left.
It was late, and the spring night was still a bit chilly. After a long journey, the Lu family army had just arrived at Yanhui Pass and had no time to rest before a fierce battle, leaving them exhausted.
But no one was resting, and some were quietly carrying out their mission. But the camp was dark and quiet, with only the sound of patrol footsteps.
Lu Chenyang received the news when the Tatars launched a night attack. Lu Ning went to inquire about the news in person. He had the best lightness skills.
This was also a weakness of the Tatars. To leave the city from Yanhui Pass, they had to cross the moat, and the moat bridge had to be lowered. The bridge was so large that its outline could be seen even in the dark, making it impossible to hide from others.
So Lu Ning discovered it immediately and went back to report it to Lu Chenyang.
Lu Chenyang immediately ordered the entire army to be on alert, and the news was passed on quietly.
