He was extremely anxious at that moment and had no time to think further.
He grabbed the armor handed to him by the guard beside him and quickly put it on.
He gripped his jeweled sword tightly and strode up the city wall.
"Soldiers! The bandits of Shannan Prefecture are delusional to think they can break through our Southeast Pass! They're just dreaming!"
"The warriors of our Northern Xiang Kingdom will absolutely not let them succeed!"
The commander's voice was loud and powerful, echoing across the battlefield.
"For the glory of the Northern Xiang Kingdom, for our loved ones, take up your weapons and fight them hard!"
He brandished his sword, pointed it at the Shannan Prefecture army below the city, and shouted loudly.
An attempt to reignite the fighting spirit in the soldiers' hearts.
The arrival of the head coach is like erecting a solid barrier on a dam that is about to collapse.
The Bei Xiang Kingdom soldiers, who were initially somewhat flustered, were amazed by the bravery and fearlessness of their commander.
They rallied their spirits and reignited the flames of battle.
They raised their weapons high and shouted deafeningly.
Morale was greatly boosted.
With its strong fortifications and superior numbers, Southeast Pass was able to overcome these challenges.
The garrison of Beixiang Kingdom stood like an iron wall, stubbornly resisting the fierce attack of the Shannan Prefecture army.
Lu Yan frowned slightly when he saw the enemy commander personally taking to the field.
This old guy is quite troublesome!
His eyes lit up, and an idea came to him.
"Lu Fei, pass down the order: feign a retreat!"
"Retreat? My lord, we're about to breach the city gates!"
Lu Fei looked puzzled.
"Just retreat when I tell you to! Enough with the nonsense! Obey orders!"
Lu Yan shouted, feigning anger.
Lu Fei dared not say anything more and quickly passed on the order.
The army of Shannan Prefecture then began to slowly retreat.
As the troops retreated, the soldiers deliberately feigned exhaustion and low morale.
Weapons were dragged haphazardly on the ground, making a chaotic clanging sound.
Some soldiers even dramatically fell to the ground, then helped each other up and staggered backward.
The sound of war drums became intermittent, morale waned, and they were unable to fight any longer.
The enemy commander stood on the city wall, watching the routed army of Shannan Prefecture, and was overjoyed.
Because the army of Shannan Prefecture was running out of manpower and was already at its last gasp.
He saw the light at the end of the tunnel and a smile of excitement spread across his face.
He grabbed the shoulder of the guard beside him and said excitedly:
"Quickly! Pass down the order: the entire army must pursue! Don't let a single enemy escape!"
The guards immediately obeyed and went to relay the commander's orders.
"Chase them! Chase them all! Kill them all!"
The enemy commander shouted excitedly, his voice echoing across the battlefield.
He brandished his sword, pointing it at the fleeing Shannan Prefecture army, his eyes filled with greed and a bloodlust.
He had forgotten his previous fears and worries; only one thought remained in his mind:
Pursuit! Slaughter! Victory!
Upon hearing their commander's order, the soldiers of Beixiang Kingdom were roused and charged toward the soldiers of Shannan Prefecture.
They craved blood, they craved victory, they craved to achieve great things.
Lu Yan stood on high ground, watching the pursuing enemy troops, a cold smile appearing on his lips.
The fish has taken the bait!
He had already laid an ambush on the retreat route, waiting for the enemy to walk right into his trap.
He glanced at Lu Fei beside him and said in a deep voice:
"Prepare to fire the arrows!"
Lu Fei nodded and turned to give orders to the archers.
After the enemy pursued them to the designated location, Lu Yan gave the order.
"Release the arrows!"
The ambushers hidden on both sides of the road suddenly appeared and unleashed a barrage of arrows, pouring down like a torrential rain.
The enemy was caught off guard and suffered countless casualties.
The commander-in-chief looked at the rain of arrows and his face turned deathly pale.
He never imagined that he would fall into Lu Yan's treacherous trap!
"Retreat! Retreat now!"
He shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice distorted.
Unfortunately, it's too late to think about retreating now.
The ambush troops from Shannan Prefecture poured out from all directions, completely surrounding the army of Beixiang Kingdom.
"Brothers, kill them all! Leave no one alive!"
Lu Yan raised his sword high and charged into the enemy ranks first.
Lu Fei, Zhang Xun, Han Sheng, and others followed closely behind.
Leading their respective troops, they pierced the heart of the enemy.
The musketeers of Shannan Prefecture unleashed their full firepower, raining down a dense barrage of bullets.
They wiped out large numbers of soldiers from the Northern Xiang Kingdom.
Li Kui brandished his broadsword, charging wildly through the enemy ranks.
Wherever it went, blood and flesh flew everywhere.
"Xiao Kui, take it easy, don't dull the knife!"
Lu Yan reminded him with a smile.
"Hehe, don't worry, sir, this knife of mine can cut through iron like mud!"
Li Kui grinned, revealing a set of big white teeth, but his hands didn't stop for a moment, continuing to slash and kill the enemy.
The soldiers of Beixiang Kingdom originally thought victory was assured, but they never expected to be trapped in a desperate situation in the blink of an eye.
They abandoned their armor and fled back into the city in a panic.
The city gates of the southeast gate were packed with people, and cries and screams filled the air.
Lu Yan led his army in pursuit, fighting their way to the city of Southeast Pass.
At the command, the soldiers of Shannan Prefecture swarmed in like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.
They all fluttered and scurried into the city gate.
The city gates were quickly breached, and the army of Shannan Prefecture poured into the city.
They engaged in fierce street fighting with the remaining defenders of Beixiang.
Chen Qingwan rode her warhorse, observing the situation on the battlefield from afar.
Seeing Lu Yan's calm command and skillful planning, he couldn't help but admire him secretly.
