Chapter 337 General Attack (I)
"Lu Chenyang..." He kept repeating the name, his eyes blazing with enthusiasm. "This is my lifelong enemy! Now that he's here, how could I be afraid of him? Come on, gather the troops and prepare for battle!"
Zar has always had a goal, which is to capture Yanhui Pass, lead his people into the pass, occupy half of Dagan, and allow his people to live on the land without having to live a migratory life.
He knew that this goal was not easy, and he was prepared to encounter difficulties. He thought that the person who would stop him would be the Duke of Zhenguo or the descendants of the Duke of Zhenguo, but he did not expect it to be Lu Chenyang.
He will be a person who becomes famous for passing the imperial examination with six yuan.
Zar asked, "How many men are there?"
All the soldiers could tell at a glance that the guard said, "About 300,000, definitely no more than 300,000!"
Lu Chenyang has at least 500,000 people under his command. Zar's eyes flashed. Where are the 200,000 people?
The deputy general beside him naturally knew this: "Are the 200,000 soldiers left behind to guard Yanhui Pass?"
Zar shook his head. "No, Lu Chenyang has always been bold. Yanhui Pass is very safe now, so he doesn't need to leave so many people. Lu Chenyang's fighting style has always been to take the enemy by surprise. It seems he has other plans." He immediately said, "Send people to investigate. Check within five miles... no, ten miles of the military camp."
Zaer had learned from his previous failures and had become much more cautious. As a result, Lu Chenyang's plan to use the grassland as a cover-up was no longer feasible, but it didn't matter; he had a plan.
Lu Chenyang's response plan was very simple and crude.
At night, the patrolling soldiers slowly approached. The Lu family army was lying in the grass, with the weeds right at their noses. They could feel the vibrations of the Tatar soldiers as they slowly approached.
This was probably a squadron of Tatar soldiers, with 500 people in each squadron, but fortunately they were dispersed, so the battle could be ended quickly by taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness.
Everyone was waiting for General Zu's order.
The soldiers in ambush suddenly felt the weeds tremble, and everyone was shocked. This was the signal they had agreed on beforehand. In the dark, they couldn't let the enemy see them, so passing on the message was extremely difficult.
This was a method devised by the Yanhui Army soldiers: they placed a rope in the weeds and used it to vibrate, sending messages. For example, a rapid swing meant an attack.
Although this method can only convey simple messages, it is sufficient.
The weeds were swaying rapidly.
Almost instantly, a group of soldiers stood up. They were well-trained, one covered the man's mouth, one took away his weapon, and one directly pushed him down and slashed his throat.
Three soldiers against one man, and in almost an instant, five hundred people fell silently.
The darkness was the best disguise, and the entire process was carried out without making even a single sound.
A rustling sound was heard, and Zu Xingwei knew that it was the sound of a corpse being dragged.
They did not move forward, but lay in ambush on the spot. Now was not the time to take action, and they had to wait for news from Lu Chenyang.
At this time, Lu Chenyang was advancing at full speed with great fanfare. His target was Wacheng, a small town, but very important to Tatars, just as Yanhuiguan was to Dagan.
However, Wacheng does not have a natural barrier like Yanhui Pass, but there is also an army of 200,000 guarding it.
Lu Chenyang sent his troops towards Wacheng. Zar, upon receiving the news, immediately realized that Lu Chenyang intended to attack Tatar from Wacheng. This was exactly the same strategy he had used to attack Dagan: he had broken through Yanhui Pass, captured Huai'an City, and then marched north, intending to seize half of Dagan.
Lu Chenyang was returning the path he had walked exactly as it was.
Zar felt the exhilaration of having met his match. Yes, this was his opponent, a match of equal strength, a match for him. He would return the loss he had suffered in kind.
Just like what he did to Lu Chenyang before.
Zar sent troops to stop Lu Chenyang without hesitation. He knew that the soldiers in Wa City were no match for Lu Chenyang.
The army guarding Wacheng had never fought a war. They had been in their comfortable nest for too long and were no match for the Tatar soldiers under his command. After all, Wacheng had never been attacked. Dagan...had always been guarding Yanhui Pass and had never thought of fighting back.
If Lu Chenyang led his troops to Wa City, they would have no choice but to passively take the beating.
Even though Zar knew that Lu Chenyang might have a conspiracy, he had to jump into this trap.
Zar also led his troops to meet the attack personally. He brought an army of 400,000, and the remaining 100,000 stayed in the barracks.
He subconsciously brought more soldiers and horses with him in order to increase his confidence.
When facing an opponent like Lu Chenyang, one must be more cautious.
Lu Chenyang rode his horse at a moderate pace. If he rode too fast, he was worried that Zar would not be able to catch up, but if he rode too slowly, he was worried that Zar would notice something was wrong.
The only reason his speed was neither fast nor slow was because he was cautious and had to be vigilant when going to an unknown battlefield.
When Lu Chenyang heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer, she was stunned for a moment. Ah, it was the cavalry she had been thinking about.
Lu Chenyang didn't have anything special he wanted in his life, except for cavalry, which was an obsession ingrained in his bones.
He wants it, he wants it very much. Alas, when will he have a cavalry?
It doesn't need to be too many, three to five thousand will be enough, and he wants to equip them with the best armor... Just thinking about it makes him excited.
Lu Chenyang's face turned grim as he heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer. He really hated Zar!
The two sides faced each other and rushed forward without saying a word.
This time the battlefield changed, but Lu Chenyang was still at a disadvantage.
This is a plain, the home of the Tatars, and the place they are most familiar with; the Tatar army is also larger in number, and it is Lu Chenyang's familiar strategy of defeating the larger force with the smaller one.
But the Lu family army was not afraid at all. They formed a battle formation and went straight to meet the enemy.
This time, the Tatar cavalry showed their superiority. They sat on their horses, commanding a high position, and could easily attack the enemy.
But the Lu family army did not fall into chaos. When someone fell, someone else immediately took his place. Then, black beans, which were specifically targeted at the war horses, were also scattered on the ground.
The familiar fragrance made the war horses lose control. They instinctively lowered their heads to look for food, making the soldiers sitting on the horses passive for a while.
These black beans are prepared with herbs and contain aphrodisiac ingredients. After eating them, horses will fall into a coma.
Soon the horses fell, and the cavalrymen also fell to the ground. The advantage at that time suddenly became a disadvantage.
Lu Chenyang was also fighting bravely, wielding his spear with great vigor.
Zar's eyes fixed: "Yan Family Spear!"
This was the Yan family's inherited spear technique. He had seen him use it when fighting with Zhenguo Gong. He had never expected that Lu Chenyang could also use it.
"The Yan family spear is not passed on to outsiders, but they taught it to you?!" Zar said in shock.
It is the Yan family's motto that the Yan family spear is not passed on to outsiders, but the Yan family's ancestors did not expect that an unfilial descendant like Yan Xing would appear.
Yan Xing believed that he was not the one who taught him, he just demonstrated it to Lu Chenyang dozens of times.
Who was Yan Xing teaching? He was so talented that even the real Lu Chenyang, the top scorer in the Sixth Imperial Examination, was slightly inferior. After reading it dozens of times, what could he not know?
Anyway, Yan Xing felt that he didn't teach him, Lu Chenyang learned it by himself.
Lu Chenyang had a habit of not speaking during a fight. Silently, he unleashed another Pingsha Luoyan move, knocking a group of Tatar soldiers to the ground.
At this time, the two sides were fighting fiercely, and Tan Feng on one side took advantage of the chaos to send out a signal.
The dazzling flames shot up into the sky. This was the signal set by Lu Chenyang.
