Chapter 106 Barbarians Arrive at Yancheng

The barbarians were rushing to Yancheng at the fastest speed, and Daxia's 70,000 troops were also marching at the fastest speed. Both sides seemed to be racing against time.

However, from the grassland to Yancheng, there was an endless plain. Even if Lin Xiuming and his men were faster, they could not catch up with the speed of the barbarian cavalry.

In a few days, the 300,000 barbarian troops had already approached the Wanning River Valley.

Early in the morning.

Lu Chen got up in Bai Qingqing's soft jade fragrance. Bai Qingqing took the initiative to dress Lu Chen. Now Bai Qingqing has changed from the previous cold and elegant sister to a cold and elegant young woman.

She has completely taken on the identity of a maid, and takes care of Lu Chen's diet and daily life with all her heart and soul every day.

As soon as Lu Chen put on his clothes and left the room, a female guard came to Lu Chen in a hurry and said, "My lord, there is an urgent report from the front. The barbarians have arrived at the Wanning River Valley!

Hearing this, Lu Chen said in surprise, "So fast? "

The arrival time of the barbarians was obviously much earlier than the intelligence obtained by Lu Chen and his team, but it was not a big problem, after all, they were already prepared.

When Lu Chen thought about the decisive battle with the barbarians, he suddenly felt the blood in his body boiling.

Although he had killed people and seen the scene of killing, he had never seen what a real battlefield looked like.

Lu Chen went to the tower of Yancheng without eating breakfast.

At this time, Mu Changtian had led 30,000 soldiers and was ready for battle. Mu Xingping also ambushed on both sides of the Wanning River Valley with the artillery battalion. The black cavalry also moved. Everything was waiting for the barbarian cavalry to enter the Wanning River Valley.

At this time, the scout soldier in front came to Lu Chen and said: "Your Majesty, the barbarian army did not enter the Wanning River Valley immediately, but camped on the grassland outside the Wanning River Valley. "

Hearing this, the soldiers on the tower suddenly became nervous.

They couldn't help wondering if the barbarian cavalry had discovered something, or if their deployment had been leaked.

If this was the case, it would be troublesome.

At that time, not only would it be possible that the barbarian cavalry would not be defeated, but the artillery battalions ambushed on both sides of the Wanning River Valley would be wiped out by the barbarian soldiers.

If a weapon as powerful as the howitzer fell into the hands of the barbarians, Yancheng would be broken at once and would have no resistance at all.

Mu Changtian said at this time: "Prince, why don't I lead the troops out of the city to lure the barbarians into the Wanning River Valley?"

After hearing Mu Changtian's proposal, Lu Chen did not reply immediately. He thought about it, and then asked the scout soldier, "When did the barbarian army arrive outside the Wanning River Valley?"

The scout soldier replied: "This morning."

Hearing this, Lu Chen immediately said: "Immediately let the artillery battalion soldiers on both sides of the Wanning River Valley hide, and don't show up before the barbarian army enters the Wanning River Valley.

"Also, we don't need to rush. The barbarian soldiers only arrived this morning. They probably traveled all night last night and are now setting up camp to rest."

"Let the front-line scouts keep an eye on their movements. If the barbarians send soldiers to scout, let them enter the Wanning River Valley and ignore them."

The reporting scout soldier immediately said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"I'll take my leave."

After the soldiers left, Mu Changtian said again, "Your Majesty, the barbarians should be prepared to attack Yancheng for a long time."

"Otherwise, they would not set up camp outside the Wanning River Valley, but choose to enter the Wanning River Valley directly."

Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "It seems that Xiao Hongbo is not a fool. He knows that Yancheng is not easy to attack."

If Xiao Hongbo really thinks that Yancheng can be taken down in the first wave of attacks, then why do they still set up camp? They can just take a short rest and send the army directly into the Wanning River Valley.

After taking Yancheng, wouldn't it be better to rest in Yancheng?

The barbarians set up camp outside the Wanning River Valley, which proves that the barbarians are prepared for the terrain of the Wanning River Valley, and on the other hand, it shows that the barbarians do not think they can capture Yancheng today.

At this time, another scout soldier from the front line came back.

"Your Majesty, the barbarians sent a scout cavalry, which has entered the Wanning River Valley and is heading straight for Yancheng."

Lu Chen asked, "How many people are there?"

The soldier replied, "Only a few dozen people."

Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "Don't pay attention, continue to monitor."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

...

Outside the Wanning River Valley.

Xiao Pengtian stood by the river, looking at the terrain of the Wanning River Valley, and felt a serious sense of crisis.

Originally, Xiao Hongbo planned to lead 300,000 troops directly into the Wanning River Valley, and then attack Yancheng, and take Yancheng before noon.

However, Xiao Pengtian persuaded Xiao Hongbo in every possible way, saying that the soldiers had traveled all night and were exhausted and needed to rest. Later, he brought up the princess and finally persuaded Xiao Hongbo to stay, so they camped outside the Wanning River Valley to rest.

Xiao Pengtian knew very well that Xiao Hongbo was already seriously dissatisfied with him. During the attack on Beijun in the south, he said a lot of things that Xiao Hongbo didn't want to hear, and even brought up the princess's name several times.

In fact, Xiao Hongbo's dissatisfaction with him has been going on for a long time. When they were still in the Sirius King Tribe, Xiao Hongbo and him had already had a gap, because their strengths were relatively close, and Xiao Pengtian was Xiao Hongbo's biggest opponent in the competition for the throne of the Sirius King.

However, with the mediation of the princess, the elders of the Sirius King Tribe finally gave the throne to Xiao Hongbo.

Although Xiao Hongbo has become the Heavenly Wolf King, he still feels uncomfortable with the existence of someone who always threatens his throne.

Xiao Pengtian is not a fool. He can see that Xiao Hongbo dislikes him. However, in order for the Heavenly Wolf King Tribe to attack Beijun without any problems this time, he must speak out a few words.

Given the terrain of the Wanning River Valley, if their 300,000 troops rush in directly, if they fail to take Yancheng, the Daxia army will come from behind and they will all be trapped in the Wanning River Valley.

At this time, a servant of Wu Yuan's caravan came to Xiao Pengtian, "General Xiao, do you have something to ask me?"

This time they went south with Wu Yuan's caravan. After all, the looted treasures needed someone to transport them, so they could just use Wu Yuan's caravan.

Xiao Pengtian asked: "Has your caravan learned about the movements of the Great Xia court? For example, have they sent a large army to support Beijun?"

The servant of Wu Yuan's caravan immediately said: "Yes, General, the court has sent 70,000 troops to support the King of the North."

Hearing this, Xiao Pengtian couldn't help but wonder, is it that he thought too much?

Only 70,000 troops?

These 70,000 troops are most likely to help the King of the North to defend Yancheng, and will not take the initiative to attack, and it is even less likely to outflank them from behind.

If the barbarian cavalry charges, the 70,000 troops will be dispersed in an instant. If the outflanking fails, the 70,000 soldiers will become a suicide mission.

Just then, a barbarian soldier rode a horse to Xiao Pengtian, "General, the king wants you to come over."
