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

He was so anxious at the moment that he didn't have time to think about it.

He grabbed the armor handed to him by the guard beside him and quickly put it on.

Holding the jewel-encrusted sword tightly, he strode up the city wall with great strides.

"Soldiers! The bandits from Shannan Prefecture are simply dreaming of breaking through our Southeast Pass!"

"We, the warriors of Beixiang Nation, will never let them succeed!"

The commander-in-chief's voice was loud and powerful, echoing over the battlefield.

"For the glory of Beixiang State, for our loved ones, pick up your weapons and fight hard!"

He waved his sword, pointed it at the Shannan Prefecture army under the city, and shouted loudly.

Trying to reignite the fighting spirit in the soldiers' hearts.

The appearance of the head coach was like erecting a solid barrier on a dam that was about to collapse.

The soldiers of Beixiang State, who were originally a little panicked, saw their commander being so brave and fearless.

They also cheered up and rekindled the flame of fighting.

They raised their weapons high and let out deafening shouts.

Morale was greatly boosted.

Relying on the strong city defense fortifications and numerical advantage of the Southeast Pass.

The defenders of Beixiang State were like a steel wall, stubbornly resisting the fierce attack of the Shannan Prefecture army.

When Lu Yan saw the enemy commander personally going into battle, his brows furrowed slightly.

This old guy is quite difficult to deal with!

He rolled his eyes and figured it out.

"Lu Fei, pass the order down and pretend to retreat!"

"Retreat? My lord, we are about to break through the city gate!"

Lu Fei looked puzzled.

"Retreat when I tell you to! Stop all that nonsense! Follow orders!"

Lu Yan yelled in a feigned anger.

Lu Fei didn't dare to say anything more and quickly passed the order down.

The army of Shannan Prefecture began to retreat slowly.

As the troops retreated, the soldiers pretended to be exhausted and demoralized.

Weapons were also dragged casually on the ground, making a chaotic sound of metal collision.

Some soldiers even fell to the ground exaggeratedly, then supported each other and staggered backwards.

The sound of war drums became intermittent, morale was low, and they were unable to fight anymore.

The enemy commander stood on the city wall, looking at the defeated Shannan army, and was overjoyed.

Because the Shannan Prefecture army was unable to sustain its forces, it was already at the end of its strength.

He saw the dawn of victory and an excited smile appeared on his face.

He grabbed the guard's shoulder and said excitedly:

"Quick! Pass the order, the entire army pursues! Don't let a single enemy go!"

The guards hurriedly took the order and passed on the commander's order.

"Chase! Chase! Kill them all!"

The enemy commander shouted excitedly, his voice echoing over the battlefield.

He waved the sword in his hand, pointing at the fleeing Shannan army, his eyes full of greed and desire for killing.

He had forgotten his previous fears and worries, and only had one thought in his mind:

Chase! Kill! Victory!

When the soldiers of Beixiang State heard the commander's order, they became excited and rushed towards the soldiers of Shannan Prefecture.

They thirst for blood, thirst for victory, and thirst for achievement.

Lu Yan stood on a high place, looking at the pursuing enemy troops, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The fish is hooked!

He had already set up an ambush on the retreat route, waiting for the enemy to fall into his trap.

He looked at Lu Fei beside him and said in a deep voice:

"Prepare to shoot!"

Lu Fei nodded and turned to give orders to the archers.

After the enemy army chased to the designated location, Lu Yan gave an order.

"Fire arrows!"

The ambushes hidden on both sides of the road appeared one after another, and thousands of arrows were fired at once, pouring down like a rainstorm.

The enemy was caught off guard and suffered countless casualties.

The coach looked at the rain of arrows and his face turned pale instantly.

He never thought that he would fall into Lu Yan's trap!

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw!"

He shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice changing tone.

Unfortunately, it’s too late to retreat now.

The ambush troops of Shannan Prefecture emerged from all directions and surrounded the Beixiang army.

"Brothers, kill them all! Leave no one alive!"

Lu Yan raised his sword high and rushed into the enemy camp first.

Lu Fei, Zhang Xun, Han Sheng and others followed closely behind.

Lead your respective troops and pierce the enemy's heart.

The musketeers of Shannan Prefecture opened fire at full force, pouring out dense bullets.

The soldiers of Beixiang State were knocked down in large numbers.

Li Kui brandished a broadsword and charged into the enemy camp.

Wherever it passed, flesh and blood flew everywhere.

"Xiao Kui, take it easy, don't let the knife get blunt!"

Lu Yan reminded with a smile.

"Hehe, don't worry, sir. My knife can cut through iron like mud!"

Li Kui grinned, revealing a row of big white teeth, but his hands did not stop at all, continuing to hack and kill the enemy.

The soldiers of Beixiang State originally thought that victory was certain, but they did not expect to fall into a desperate situation in the blink of an eye.

They threw away their weapons and armor and fled back to the city.

The gate of the Southeast Pass was packed with people, and there was a chorus of crying and screaming.

Lu Yan led the army to pursue the victory and fought all the way to the city of Southeast Pass.

At the command, the soldiers of Shannan Prefecture rushed out like dumplings.

They all rushed into the city gate.

The city gate was quickly breached and the Shannan Prefecture's troops poured into the city.

Fierce street fighting broke out with the remaining Beixiang defenders.

Chen Qingwan rode a warhorse and watched the situation on the battlefield from afar.

Seeing Lu Yan commanding with such confidence and making plans, he couldn't help but admire him secretly.

This Lu Yan is not only handsome but also has a good figure.

And he is so talented, it's really impressive.

I didn't expect him to be so calm and decisive on the battlefield.

The battle lasted for several hours and ended with the victory of the Shannan Prefecture army.

The defenders of Beixiang were either killed or wounded, and the rest all surrendered.

The enemy commander was tied up and brought in front of Lu Yan, with a look of doubt on his life written all over his face.

"Master Lu, I lost."

The enemy commander said dejectedly.

"Thank you, thank you." Lu Yan said with a smile.

"Wouldn't it be fine if you just surrendered earlier? You have to waste everyone's time."

Lu Yan accepted the surrender of the enemy commander and ordered the soldiers to take him away for custody.

He looked around and saw the panic-stricken expressions of the people in the city, and a sense of responsibility rose in his heart.

"All officers and men, listen up! Immediately appease the people and stabilize the situation in the city!"

All the soldiers responded in unison:

"Yes!"

Lu Yan turned to the generals around him and solemnly ordered:

"Pass the order down! Soldiers are strictly prohibited from disturbing the people. Anyone who violates the order will be executed!"

The generals immediately took the order and left.

Lu Yan then ordered the treasury to be opened and the grain to be distributed to the poor people in the city.

The people saw that the Shannan Prefecture army was strictly disciplined and did not harm anyone.

I received food relief again and was filled with gratitude.

They fell to their knees and shouted:

"Lord Lu is a great judge! Shannan Prefecture is a benevolent and righteous army!"

In the battle of Southeast Pass, Lu Yan defeated the enemy with a smaller force and won a great victory, which greatly boosted his reputation.

When the news reached Shannan Prefecture, the people were overjoyed and ran around to tell each other.

Lu Yan's name once again became a hot topic of conversation among people.
