To achieve immortality, I cultivate using Qi Luck

The next day, Lu Yuan led his army and left Dangyang’s main camp.

At the moment he left with his troops, tens of thousands of soldiers in the main camp were also mobilized. Civilian workers from Southsea and Ninghai countries were driven out and headed towards Danyang City for the attack.

According to the agreement made previously, before Lu Yuan launched a surprise attack, the main camp here would create enough movement to attract the attention of the Zhou people, creating an opportunity for him.

Now, it was happening.

When Yan Wangqiu first asked Lu Yuan whether this battle would be easy, Lu Yuan’s answer was that to win this crucial battle in Jiangbei, at least over a hundred thousand lives would have to be lost.

Today this answer has been proven true.

In order to attract the attention of the Zhou people and create the illusion that the main force was here, it is impossible to create such an atmosphere without launching round after round of strong and fierce attacks.

And on the battlefield, it was a siege warfare. Each round of fierce attack was basically equal to countless corpses.

Perhaps this time, the two countries of Ninghai and Southsea were truly going to lose more than a hundred thousand corpses under Dangyang City.

However, no one cared about this.

The court didn’t care, Lu Yuan didn’t care, and even the rulers of the two countries didn’t care at all.

The only ones who might care were probably the lowest-level civilian workers who were still carrying weapons and braving arrows and rolling stones in the cold winter as they screamed and rushed towards the city walls.

But these people’s voices were destined to be ignored by people.

So everything was cyclic.

But one thing was clear that the sacrifices of these people did indeed attract the attention of the Zhou people, making them focus on the Danyang battlefield here.

As a result, the other side was more or less overlooked.

On the way to Guining Province.

All the way there was smoke and dust, banners covered the sky, and the movement was huge.

It was impossible to cover up the whereabouts of an army of one hundred thousand soldiers.

And Lu Yuan had never thought about covering it up.

Because he knew that it was impossible to hide, but he couldn’t let the Zhou people focus on himself. So what should he do?

The answer was to make the other side make more noise, attracting the attention of Zhou people.

This was also the purpose of the Dangyang battle.

It seemed that the strategy had been successful so far.

Lu Yuan led the troops from Dangyang’s main camp towards Guining Province and passed through Anyuan and Xingshan counties without encountering any Zhou troops sent to stop him.

So after capturing these two counties under Guining Province, he successfully arrived under Ningfu City.

When they arrived, it was obvious that Ningfu City had been prepared for the onslaught of the army.

Not only the Grand General of the Right Pillar State of the Zhou Country, Gui Lianyun’s fifty thousand troops were present, but also twenty thousand local conscripts were gathered in the city to help with the defense.

A total of seventy thousand Zhou troops, including Gui Lianyun himself, constituted the entire defense force of Guining Province.

Under the city.

While arranging his men to set up camp, Lu Yuan led Lan Cai’er and Yang Jing on the newly built high platform to observe the arrangement of soldiers and horses in Guining City.

Seventy thousand Zhou troops obviously could not be stationed in the city, and the city could not accommodate so many people.

Moreover, a single city is impossible to defend.

The best strategy for defending a city is often to intertwine and interlock, with external reinforcements.

Therefore, in addition to leaving troops to guard the city, the Zhou people also built four large camps outside the city, placed respectively on the east, south, west, and north sides of the city as a peripheral barrier.

And the city served as the central hub, supporting everywhere at all times.

It must be said that such an arrangement was indeed very clever, maximizing the strength of the Zhou people.

After all, there was only one Inborn Grandmaster in the city, and it was impossible to cover all places at once.

By setting up four camps outside the city and taking the city as the core, the Right Pillar State Grand General of the Zhou people, Gui Lianyun, could sit in the city.

Then, wherever there was a problem in the four large camps, wherever there was an attack by an Inborn Grandmaster, he could rush to help and resist.

Such a defense strategy was naturally wonderful.

When facing an enemy with only one Inborn Grandmaster, it can perfectly block the opponent. Even if the enemy has two Inborn Grandmasters, and fights for their lives, it is not impossible to block one.

But if there are three Inborn Grandmasters in the enemy, then this arrangement would be a bit strained.

Not everyone is like Marquis of Wuan Bai Mengyang, who can wield the power of the Second Stage of Inborn Realm with the help of the force of the evil soldiers, and can withstand three or four Inborn Grandmasters of the same level.

As far as Lu Yuan knew, Gui Lianyun in the Zhou city was just an ordinary Inborn Grandmaster who had achieved Inborn Realm for just over a decade.

In terms of combat power, it might not be much stronger than Lan Cai’er and Yang Jing.

Compared to himself, who cultivated both immortal and martial arts, it was even farther behind.

So after seeing Gui Lianyun’s defensive arrangement, Lu Yuan looked back at the two people next to him and laughed, “Gui Lianyun wants to imitate Marquis Wuan and defend the city alone.”

“But he forgot that he is an ordinary man, far from worthy to be compared with Marquis Wuan.”

“He has set up four camps outside the city this time, trying to block my army.”

“I will teach him what it means to be a mantis blocking a car and overestimating his own abilities.”

As he said this, Lu Yuan’s expression became serious, and he turned to Yang Jing and said, “Martial Proclamation Marquis, you will lead your troops later and attack the bandits’ western camp.”

Hearing that he was assigned to lead the charge, Yang Jing did not say much, but just nodded solemnly: “I obey.”

Lu Yuan nodded, then turned to look at Lan Cai’er and said, “Your Majesty, later you will lead twenty thousand soldiers to attack the bandits’ southern camp.”
