In order to save himself, the prince summoned 100,000 dragon riders at the start.

After Yu Xiang's incident, Lu Yuan's interest waned.

"No gifts."

Lu Yuan withdrew his gaze from the women and put away his ulterior motives.

Who knows if there are any cute girls with big breasts in here!

As for the other two leaders, there's not much to say.

One of them was Gao Shun, who led the famous Trapped Camp.

They were all burly men with broad shoulders and thick waists, exuding a terrifying aura, and their combat strength was evident!

Compared to the arrogance of the Trapped Camp, the Shadow Guards were much more restrained.

They were all dressed in black, with only their eyes showing.

Its aura was extremely cold and sinister, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows.

Though easily overlooked, they are always ready to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy!

It is worth mentioning that.

The characters summoned by the system each have their own thoughts and unique consciousness, but they have no previous memories.

Just like Gao Shun and Xu Zhu.

Although they both come from the Three Kingdoms period of the previous life.

But the two of them didn't know each other and had never heard of each other's titles!

All they have now is their loyalty to Lu Yuan!

.....

Faced with the ferocious Dragon Cavalry, He Long's small force was no match for them.

Yuan Zuozong acted swiftly.

Just as Lu Yuan finished drawing his rewards, Yuan Zuozong returned with his men.

He then threw a pile of heads on the ground.

Yuan Zuozong dismounted, knelt on one knee, and reported to Lu Yuan:

"My lord, He Long and his cronies have all been eliminated!"

"The entire 10,000-strong garrison in Yubei City has been fully reorganized, and all the high-ranking officers have been replaced with our own people!"

"How was it? Did you encounter any obstacles?"

"No! The incorporation proceeded exceptionally smoothly after your token was presented!"

"That's fine."

Lu Yuan nodded.

Although Yubei City is the main city of the Northern Region, it is not comparable to the northern border with its million-strong army.

There were only a little over 10,000 defenders.

Recruiting them would be very easy!

[Ding! The host has slain 6 Martial Kings, 2 Martial Emperors, and 67 Grand Martial Masters! Gain 32700 Luck Points!]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have taken control of a city! Reward: 100,000 Luck Points!]

There was no prompt from the management system.

With only 130,000 luck points, it had already lost its appeal for him.

Lu Yuan stroked his chin, his eyes flickering.

Now, Yubei City is back under his control.

It's time to head south and settle accounts with the Empress!

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, then gave the order to the crowd:

"Order the garrison in the city to hold firm at Yubei City!"

"Dragon Cavalry, Trapped Camp, all troops, march! Destination: Chang'an!"

At this moment, Lu Yuan seemed to suddenly think of something.

He took a deep breath and said to Yu Xiang in a low voice:

"Yu Xiang, have your people keep an eye on the Prince's residence."

"In case of any unforeseen circumstances, do everything possible to ensure the safety of the people inside the mansion!"

He has no close relatives left in this world.

Perhaps there are still some elderly people in the mansion who watched him grow up.

But that was also the lingering attachment of the previous life!

Now he's going to do something big.

We can't afford to waste our troops on something like this!

Furthermore.

Yubei City is located in the heart of the Northern Region and is generally not subject to much disturbance.

He has already done more than enough by arranging for 10,000 troops to guard the area and having the drizzle personnel take good care of it!

If the Empress is truly heartless and insane... then you can't blame her for being ruthless!

We have no choice but to abandon the Prince of Zhenbei's Mansion!

Lu Yuan thought about it, and his mood returned to calm:

"Yuan Zuo Zong! Gao Shun! Issue the order to the entire army to march south!"

"set off!"

"promise!"

At Lu Yuan's command, hundreds of thousands of troops set off in a mighty procession!

......

In the northern region, at Yumen Pass.

The Dragon Cavalry and the Trapped Camp, whose ordinary soldiers are all martial arts masters, march at an incredibly fast pace!

Before a day had passed, they swiftly arrived at Yumen Pass, the vital passage from the northern regions to the Central Plains!

This place is also where the Central Plains and the Northern Regions meet!

The Yumen Pass is magnificent; from a distance, it looks like a giant dragon lying dormant on the earth.

Both sides are surrounded by high and steep mountains, making the terrain easy to defend and difficult to attack!

"My lord, we have arrived at Yumen Pass!"

"Ah."

Lu Yuan nodded, his eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but recall the various pieces of information about Yumen Pass in his mind.

Yumen Pass was built during a period of weakness in the Great Zhou Dynasty to defend against the Northern Barbarian Empire.

But ever since his father rose to power and pushed the newest pass to the border of the Great Wall.

This Yumen Pass has practically become a mere decoration!

The once magnificent Yumen Pass has almost become a tourist attraction.

however.

Since my father disappeared.

The guards at Yumen Pass seem to be increasing in number and becoming more elite!

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but sneer.

Presumably, at that time, the Empress already had the idea of ​​taking action against the Northern Region!

"My lord! Give me half a day, and I will surely be able to break through this barrier!"

"From the side," Yuan Zuozong said confidently.

The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry is the number one cavalry force in the world!

Even with its heavily guarded Yumen Pass, it couldn't stop the iron hooves of the Dragon Cavalry!

Lu Yuan did not answer, but instead looked into the distance towards Yumen Pass with his deep gaze.

at this time.

The Yumen Pass, which had been lax in its previous practices, became heavily guarded!

Lu Yuan glanced around casually and found that there were no fewer than dozens of elite squads guarding the city walls!

In particular, the giant crossbows on the city wall made Lu Yuan's gaze slightly sharpen.

Those giant crossbows were the standard siege crossbows used by the Great Zhou army, and their power was immense!

It could even kill a Martial Emperor, posing a serious threat to Martial Sect masters!

And at this time.

There were hundreds of these giant crossbows on the city walls!

Lu Yuan frowned slightly.

If the dragon riders charge in, it will inevitably cause considerable damage!

A single volley of fire from the enemy could cause hundreds of casualties!

not to mention.

Once such a strategically important national pass is completed, it is usually blessed by the power of heaven and earth.

Within its coverage area.

It has a great suppressive effect on experts above the Martial Grandmaster level!

estimate.

This is also the natural order of this world, designed to weaken the role of experts on the battlefield.

To prevent a one-sided massacre!

Otherwise, if a martial saint came, he could shatter the pass with a single palm strike.

What would be the point of building a pass then?

"General Yuan, do you already have a way to counter the giant crossbows on the city walls?"

Lu Yuan pointed to the city wall and asked Yuan Zuozong with a half-smile.

"this...."

Similarly, Yuan Zuozong looked at the giant crossbow on the city wall with a face full of fear.

He was indeed confident that he could take the city gate if he charged in.

The damage... might be a little serious!

Yuan Zuozong hesitated for a moment, as if afraid of displeasing Lu Yuan, but still gritted his teeth and said:

"My lord, although those giant crossbows are a threat, our Dragon Riders are not to be trifled with!"

"If the Dragon Cavalry charges close, this hundred-foot city wall will not be able to stop us in the slightest!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and smiled:

"General Yuan, if it's not necessary, there's no need to force our way in!"

"Furthermore, siege warfare is not the forte of cavalry!"

Lu Yuan is absolutely right.

Throughout history, who has ever used cavalry to break through a pass?
