Chapter 179 Wolf Ambitions

"Lord, all the sentries on the edge have been dealt with...but we can't stay here for long."

Without waiting for Lu Fan to ask, Dai Lang explained what he had discovered when he went to the front to investigate.

It turns out that the Tianwu Barbarians stationed a large number of soldiers and horses on the southern border, and the densely packed military tents could not be seen to the end.

Those military tents were stationed between the southern pass of the Tianwu Dynasty and Beiman Mountain, only three or four kilometers away from their location.

After arriving at the northern edge of Beimang Mountain, you can clearly see the dense military tents.

After quickly explaining the general situation, Dai Lang took a deep breath and said:

“Lord, look at the number of those military tents, there are at least 200,000 soldiers and horses.

Their sentries were all killed by us, and it won't be long before they know the news, so it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. "

After hearing what Dai Lang said, Lu Fan took a deep breath, with a fierce light and killing intent in his eyes.

"Tianwu Barbarian is really ambitious."

He originally thought that the 40,000 Zhanhu Army and 160,000 Tianwu Four Guards that were wiped out by his own side were all the enemy forces in this invasion.

Unexpectedly, there were so many enemy troops stationed on the border.

Obviously, these enemy troops are definitely a reserve force for the invasion and will come along the opened channel to support at any time.

The reason why he was so sure.

It's because normal border guards will not be stationed outside the pass, but within the pass.

Thinking like this, Lu Fan suppressed the murderous intention in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Zhengfei, Dai Lang, lead your army back the same way. Jingsi and Bozhao will come with me to take a look."

As Dai Lang said, the news that the enemy sentry was killed will soon be discovered.

Once discovered, the enemy will definitely be on alert and will definitely send people to investigate.

They are simply unable to fight against the enemy with this small force.

But now that he is here, he would not be willing to go and see it in person.

After hearing Lu Fan's arrangement, Lang Zhengfei and Dai Lang opened their mouths, but finally nodded:

"promise!"

They know Lu Fan's character and once a decision is made, it cannot be changed.

After the words fell, Dai Lang led the enemy camp, and Lang Zhengfei led more than 400 elite Zhenbei troops to return to the original route.

Lu Fan continued to rush forward with Li Cunxiao, Geng Yan, Gu Qing, Gu Yue and his grandson.

After a while, Lu Fan and the others arrived at the top of a mountain range on the northern edge of Beimang Mountain.

Stand on the top of this mountain range and look ahead.

Suddenly and clearly, he saw the densely packed military tents stretching as far as the eye could see and the military flags flying in the wind.

Behind the dense military tents stretching as far as the eye can see is the border pass city of the Tianwu Dynasty.

Tiannan Pass!

Like Beimang Pass in Daqian, Tiannan Pass was the southern gateway of the Tianwu Dynasty.

Once Tiannan Pass is breached, they can drive straight into the hinterland of the Tianwu Dynasty.

The same is true for Beimang Pass in Daqian.

Although they were thousands of meters apart, Lu Fan could still clearly see the majestic Tiannan Pass.

While Lu Fan was staring ahead, Li Cunxiao and others were also observing and sizing up.

After looking at it for a while, Li Cunxiao said:

"My lord, these armies stationed at Tiannan Pass are not the Zhanhu Army. Some of them are the Tianwu Four Guards, and the other part is not yet clear."

Li Cunxiao is at the God Refining Realm and can clearly see scenes more than two thousand meters away.

He clearly saw the flags of the Four Tianwu Guards, and there was another flag whose origin was unclear.

After Li Cunxiao finished speaking, Geng Yan smiled and said:

"It seems that the Tuoba family is cunning enough... They are reluctant to use the Zhanhu Army and directly let the Four Tianwu Guards take the lead. They are hiding behind and waiting to take advantage."

When they wiped out the 100,000 Tianwu Four Guards, Tuoba Jinqing withdrew without hesitation with 20,000 Zhanhu troops.

It was obvious that they didn't care about the life and death of the four Tianwu guards at all, they just wanted to preserve the strength of the Zhanhu Army.

Listening to Geng Yan's teasing, Li Cunxiao nodded in agreement and smiled:

"It's normal. The Zhanhu Army is a private army vigorously cultivated by the Tuoba family. Since Jin is so precious, he is naturally reluctant to let them charge."

After Li Cunxiao and Geng Yan spoke one after another, Lu Fan pondered and said, "This is a good thing for us."

If the Tianwu Dynasty were monolithic, it would be more troublesome to deal with it.

But now the Tianwu Dynasty is equivalent to being divided into five parts, jointly controlled by the four major families and the Tianwu Emperor.

Emperor Tianwu is clearly the Lord of Tianwu.

However, the four major portals of the Tianwu Dynasty are in the hands of the four major families, and the four major ace legions are also controlled by the four major families.

For this reason, the four major families listen to the tune but not the propaganda, which is equivalent to four independent princes.

Even if Emperor Tianwu was helpless, he had no solution and did not dare to force the four major families.

After all, if something goes wrong with the four major families, the four major portals of the Tianwu Dynasty will be in danger.

Therefore, for the sake of the stability of the entire Tianwu Dynasty, Emperor Tianwu had to compromise.

This is one of the reasons why the Tianwu Dynasty has not used large-scale troops against Daqian.

Li Cunxiao and Geng Yan immediately understood what Lu Fan meant. The former pondered and said:

"My lord, it is very difficult to defeat the Tianwu Dynasty from the outside. It is difficult for us to do it alone."

Lu Fan did not refute Li Cunxiao's words, but nodded in agreement.

Because what Li Cunxiao said was right.

Even with all the efforts of the whole country, it is almost impossible to destroy the Tianwu Dynasty.

Not to mention the troops under his command.

Even if he had an extremely powerful summoning system, it would be impossible to destroy the Tianwu Dynasty in a short period of time.

After all, the summoning system also has limitations, and you can't summon as many as you want.

So if you want to complete the task of destroying the Tianwu Dynasty, you must think of another way.

Thinking of this, Lu Fan looked at Li Cunxiao: "Jingsi, do you have any good ideas?"

"My lord, I think we can use the contradictions between the Tianwu royal family and the four major families to make plans.

As long as the Tianwu Dynasty is in chaos, we will have a chance."

At this point, Li Cunxiao paused for a moment, and then said:

"In addition, the decapitation plan we implemented this time can also continue.

As long as all the generals, captains, and thousand captains in the various legions of the Tianwu Dynasty are killed.

Then the millions of soldiers and horses of the Tianwu Dynasty will be leaderless, and it will be much easier for us to deal with them..."

Listening to Li Cunxiao's analysis, Lu Fan nodded with satisfaction, and at the same time secretly felt fortunate in his heart.

It was right to unlock Li Cunxiao's past life memory by using an unlocking card.

Li Cunxiao before could only be regarded as a fierce general, but now he is a wise and brave commander.

When Lu Fan thought about this, Geng Yan and Gu Qing also looked at Li Cunxiao with great admiration.

After finishing his story, Li Cunxiao saw everyone looking at him like this, and he couldn't help but chuckled and said...
