With a million soldiers, the empress begged me not to rebel

"That's right! After Lord Lu came, the taxes in Shannan County were reduced. How could he possibly evade taxes?"

"Someone must have framed Lord Lu! We must seek justice for Lord Lu!"

The people's shouts grew louder and louder, but the officers and soldiers from the capital turned a deaf ear, as if they heard nothing.

At the same time, outside Shannan County, an army of 50,000 southern barbarians was approaching, a black mass, like a swarm of locusts, with a huge momentum.

"I heard there's a scoundrel named Lu Yan in Shannan County who captured our brothers and enslaved them!"

A ferocious-faced southern barbarian general roared.

"Today, we are going to flatten Shannan County, rescue our brothers, and kill that bastard official!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill!" The Nanman soldiers waved their weapons and shouted loudly.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The southern barbarians are attacking!"

The guard screamed at the top of his lungs and hurried back to report the news.

The news quickly reached the county government office, and the generals guarding the city were immediately panicked when they heard it.

"Fifty thousand troops? Lord Lu has now been imprisoned by the officers and soldiers in the capital. What should we do?"

Lu Yan has a very high prestige in Shannan County and is deeply loved by the people. The soldiers obey his orders unconditionally.

If he could be released at this time, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

Thinking of this, the general gritted his teeth and rushed straight to the prison with a few elite soldiers.

"Lord Lu! Something terrible has happened! The southern barbarians are attacking us!"

The general kicked open the prison door and shouted anxiously to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan was squatting on the ground studying a cockroach. When he heard this, he looked up in confusion:

"Southern Barbarians? What are they doing here? Tourism?"

The generals were about to cry:

"Lord Lu, it's already this hour, and you still have the mind to joke! The Nanman army of 50,000 men is already at the gates of the city!"

Only then did Lu Yan realize the seriousness of the matter, and he stood up suddenly.

"Fifty thousand? Interesting! Now that you're here, don't go back! Let's go work and spread manure in the fields in our Shannan County."

Chen Qingwan also learned about the invasion of the Southern Barbarians from the people fleeing in panic on the streets.

She was extremely anxious, but it was too late to return to the palace for help.

I can only be trapped in this small Shannan County.

How can this be good?

At this moment, she saw Lu Yan riding a tall horse

He rushed through the streets with a team of elite soldiers.

Lu Yan was dressed in military uniform, looking heroic and valiant, completely different from his previous nonchalant appearance.

The soldiers in Shannan County obeyed Lu Yan's orders, which made her feel a little more at ease.

But it is also full of doubts.

Why are the soldiers in Shannan County so loyal to him?

Can he really withstand the attack of the Nanman army?

After Lu Yan arrived at the military camp, he immediately began to deploy troops and deploy defensive fortifications.

After all, he is a time traveler and is familiar with various military strategies and tactics.

Coupled with his extraordinary courage and strategy, he quickly stabilized the morale of the army.

"Brothers! The southern barbarians bully us and we have no one in the south. Today, we will let them see how powerful we are!"

Lu Yan stood on the podium and gave a passionate speech.

"Shannan County is our home. We must not let these beasts set foot here!"

"Guards, separate the civilians and head to the nearest shelter."

“Old people, women and children first”

"Fuck it, I'm going to start firing!"

The soldiers were inspired by him and shouted: "We will defend our homeland to the death!"

"Musketeer Battalion!"

"I recently researched a firearm. How's it going, brothers?"

Lu Yan said to Lu Fei, the commander of the Musket Battalion.

"Report to the master! The test is completed and everything is ready!"

"Where are the other battalions! Are you ready?"

"Guards, always ready!"

"Cavalry Battalion, always ready!"

"The Crossbow Battalion, always ready!"

Lu Yan looked at the soldiers with high morale, and a sense of pride and ambition rose in his heart.

At this time, Chen Qingwan was looking at the people walking in an orderly manner on the street, feeling mixed emotions.

In the previous rebellion, corpses were everywhere and many innocent people died.

However, the so-called imperial army they called was only concerned with suppression and did not care about the lives of the people at all.

However, Lu Yan, whom she regarded as a thorn in her side, organized the people to take refuge at the first opportunity, and even let the elderly, the weak, women and children go first.

This is an attitude that this country has never had before, a true love for the people.

She suddenly felt a little ashamed. As an empress, she had never put herself in the shoes of the people.

Looking towards the city wall, soldiers rushed up the wall one after another.

She hoped that Lu Yan, the corrupt official, could repel the enemy and protect the people of Shannan County.

"If you win, I will not kill your entire clan, I will only kill you!"

......

On the city wall, Lu Yan, holding a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth, looked boredly at the dark mass approaching in the distance.

"These barbarians are really impatient. They can't even make it in time for dinner."

Lu Yan picked up the telescope and observed the movements of the Nanman army in the distance.

"Wow, 50,000 pigs really came! Are they planning to turn Shannan County into a pigpen?"

He put down the telescope, spat out the grass stems, and looked disgusted.

"Sir, this... can this thing really kill those southern barbarians?"

Lu Fei came over and pointed at the rows of strangely shaped pottery jars placed under the city wall, his face full of suspicion.

This thing was something Lu Yan came up with from somewhere some time ago.

It is called a "hand grenade" and is extremely powerful. One grenade can kill a large area of ​​people.

But this thing looks so ordinary that it is hard to believe.

Lu Yan glanced at him sideways.

"Can I still lie to you? You'll know when the time comes."

"This thing is a secret weapon, saved for last."

"When the time comes, I'll make sure those barbarians will be in big trouble!"

"Pass the order down, the musket battalion, get ready. When they get close, beat them hard!"

"Yes!" Lu Fei took the order and left.

Lu Yan then said to the other generals:

"The cavalry battalion will ambush on both sides. Once the musket battalion disrupts their formation, charge out!"

"Kill them all! The crossbow battalion will provide cover, while the archers are free to shoot. Shoot them to death!"

"Yes, sir!" the generals responded in unison.

The southern barbarian soldiers under the city were getting closer and closer, and the leading barbarian general was riding a tall mammoth.

He brandished a huge mace in his hand, and his voice was like a bell:

"Listen up, you corrupt officials of Shannan County! If you have the guts, open the gates and surrender! I'll spare your lives! Otherwise, I'll raze Shannan to the ground, leaving no one alive!"

Lu Yan sneered, picked up a strange trumpet-shaped thing, and shouted to the city below:

"You bastard, your grandpa is here! Come up if you dare, and I promise I won't kill you!"

The barbarian general was furious and led his army to attack the city.

At the same time, Chen Qingwan stood under the city wall, looking at the arrogant figure on the wall.

I prayed silently in my heart: You damned official, you must win!
