Exile at the beginning: Take the system and sister-in-law to farm

As long as he, Lu Zhendong, maintains his position, it will definitely be even more difficult for Dong Aolai's army to break in.

Seeing the number of soldiers' casualties increasing, Dong Aolai looked gloomy, but he was helpless.

The battle lasted from late last night to the next morning, but Huxiao Pass was not captured.

Huxiaoguan's defense is really strong!

This is the only barrier, or the only passage, between the Great Chu Empire and the Great Yan Empire.

As long as the Huxiao Pass is broken, the troops and horses of the Chu Empire can move northward unimpeded.

In one night of fighting, Dong Aolai dispatched three waves of [-] soldiers, each wave fighting for three hours.

Of these three waves of soldiers and horses, only about [-] troops retreated from each wave.

It is not difficult to see that after this night of fighting, Dong Aolai lost at least 10 troops.

The sky gradually turned fish-white.

Dong Aolai stayed up all night, and his eyes were filled with red bloodshot eyes.

He rode a war horse and stood at a commanding height, looking at the offensive that was still in full swing ahead, with a gloomy expression on his face.

The ground was covered with corpses, all of which were soldiers of the Chu Empire.

The attack outside the city was fierce.

The city's defense was also very fierce.

Both sides attacked and I defended, and the battle was fierce.

That night, the city lost more than [-] soldiers and horses.

Dong Aolai gave an order, and the third wave of soldiers and horses withdrew to rest, allowing the second wave of soldiers and horses to rush forward and continue the bloody battle.

Lu Zhendong on the city wall had already seen Dong Aolai's offensive strategy.

"Tired of a war of attrition?"

A sneer appeared at the corner of Lu Zhendong's mouth.

Taking advantage of the enemy's retreat, Lu Zhendong also ordered Wei Da to withdraw his original troops and replace them with new soldiers on the battlefield.

Both sides took turns fighting.

One takes turns to attack and the other takes turns to defend.

It depends on who can have the last laugh.

This fierce defensive battle lasted for three consecutive days.

During these three days, neither side had a moment's rest.

Dong Ao didn't blink for two days. After arranging everything, he couldn't hold it any longer, so he slept for five hours.

Lu Zhendong didn't blink for three days.

He was exhausted and listless.

I stayed on the city wall and never retreated. Even when I ate, I always ate dry food on the city wall.

This is his persistence.

It was also one of the reasons why he was promoted to the Three Dragon Knights.

Cautious by nature, a little paranoid.

When war comes, kill the enemy with all your strength and coordinate the overall situation.

despite this.

On two occasions, Dong Ao's army climbed up the ladder and finally climbed onto the city wall.

The enemy's attack is too fierce!

But what about going up the city wall?

After climbing the city wall, despite the bloody battle, the troops of the Chu Empire were still contained.

Lu Zhendong sat on the city wall and boosted the morale of the defenders inside the pass.

The soldiers all said that Lu Zhendong didn't retreat, so they had nothing to be squeamish about.

Lu Zhendong is undoubtedly a good general who is strict with himself.

In this area, he did much better than others!

The fierce fighting continued for a week.

Dong Aolai's army was severely reduced from one million to half a million.

Lu Zhendong's garrison within the pass was also reduced from [-] to [-].

This week, the two sides engaged in a non-stop battle.

Bodies piled up like mountains in front of the pass.

In order not to affect the battle, Dong Aolai ordered the retreating soldiers to clean the battlefield every day.

But nonetheless.

As many as half a million people were sacrificed, but the battlefield was still littered with corpses.

The current Huxiao Pass is full of scars and the city walls are broken.

The city gate was also completely destroyed and was about to fall off the door frame.

After a week of continuous fierce fighting, both armies were exhausted.

The soldiers were listless and struggled to even eat, let alone charge while walking, draw their bows and shoot arrows!

Dong Aolai had no idea what to do, so he ordered the army to rest for the night and attack again early tomorrow morning.

In order to prevent night attacks, Dong Aolai ordered 10 cavalry to ambush outside the military camp.

Tiger roars inside the pass.

After the Chu army retreated with gold, Lu Zhendong rarely had a chance to breathe.

He dragged his tired body down the city wall, returned to the tent, and lay down on the bed.

As soon as I lay on the bed, my heavy eyelids could no longer be opened.

"Huhuhu..."

Soon there was a loud snoring sound.

The guard at the door felt a little distressed when he saw this. He got up and covered Lu Zhendong with a quilt, and then stood guard at the door.

As night fell, Lu Zhendong was still sleeping deeply.

Wei Da, Wang Nu, and Lu Cheng arrived outside Lu Zhendong's camp.

After learning that Lu Zhendong was still asleep, the three of them looked at each other and returned to the Chinese army camp.

"Now the enemy and our armies are all exhausted! The enemy will definitely not attack again tonight! So... if I lead the Tiger Roar Army to fight out of the pass now, I will definitely be able to catch the enemy by surprise! If I can increase the enemy's army The casualties can also disturb their own sleep, leaving them in a state of panic and unable to have a good rest!"

Lu Cheng suggested.

In their opinion, now is indeed a good time for a sneak attack, which is why the three of them came to visit Lu Zhendong.

Lu Zhendong is the guard general of Huxiao Pass, and all battle plans must obtain his consent before they can be implemented.

Now that he is asleep, the three of them are afraid of missing the opportunity, so they are ready to make their own decisions.

and.

Wang Nu and Wei Da were both experienced generals and very authoritative in the army.

"General Wang...do you have any concerns about this battle?" Weida asked with a frown.

"Fighters are changing rapidly, and no one can predict what is going on outside now. I only know that according to the previous combat methods of the Protector General, now we should send an army to rush out of the pass to give the enemy a sneak attack, disrupt their camp, and not let them Rest peacefully!" Wang Nu said truthfully.

"Indeed! Fighter opportunities change rapidly, but they are also fleeting... Now that the opportunity comes, you should seize it..." Lu Chengdao.

Wei Da seemed worried and said: "Our cavalry has not participated in the battle, but neither has the enemy's cavalry! Who can guarantee that Dong Aolai will not let the cavalry ambush our Tiger Roaring Army?"

"Hmph! Are the cavalrymen from Dong Ao more powerful than our Tiger Roaring Army? Our Tiger Roaring Army went into battle and was never defeated! Besides, after I fought my way out of the pass, I would never be reluctant to fight. I would just charge and kill. After I had shaken up the enemy's camp, I would then kill from outside the pass. Come back! Don't say they don't want to attack tonight, they won't even be able to send troops tomorrow or the day after tomorrow!" Lu Cheng said with confidence.

"This..." Weida really didn't want to miss this opportunity, but he always felt a little uneasy inside.

"General Wei..." Lu Cheng looked anxiously at the sky outside.

Wang Nu also turned his attention to Weida.

Wei Da was under great pressure. He clenched his fists suddenly, nodded heavily and said, "Go, go! When you get outside, if you see that the situation is unstable, you will immediately return to the pass and never fight with them!"

"Okay!" Lu Cheng was overjoyed.

"General Wei, let's do this... I'll go with General Lu, so it's better to do the same!" Wang Nu said, cupping his fists.

Lu Cheng is Lu Zhendong's nephew.

If something happened to Lu Cheng, they would be blamed, and now that they had broken out of the pass and disrupted the enemy's camp, it would be equivalent to military merit in action.
