Warlords: Rise of the System

The rest of the journey was relatively smooth because more warlord troops were gathering towards Kyoto Prefecture along the way.

It may be that the bandit troops have not arrived yet, so they did not carry out any further blocking operations.

What Lu Tianhao didn't know was that it wasn't that the bandits' troops hadn't arrived, but that the two squadrons had lost contact, forcing the bandits' headquarters to change their battle strategy.

The warlord army of Tianlong Kingdom is gathering in large numbers. Even if we send out several regiments, there is no way to stop them from gathering.

It is very likely that they lost contact all of a sudden, just like Ikeda and the Jinggang Regiment.

The generals and officers at the bandit headquarters had already guessed in their minds that the two regiments were definitely in great danger.

Two squadrons were wiped out before they could even send out any information.

It can be seen from this that the two regiments were most likely attacked by heavy firepower and besieged by a large number of troops, which made it impossible for them to send out messages.

More and more warlords' troops came to reinforce, and it was impossible to stop them.

The bandits abandoned this action and instead assembled a large number of troops in the north and south. The naval fleet also set out from the east, preparing for a full-scale attack on Kyoto City.

The high-ranking officials of the bandits were very confident that under their joint attack by sea, land and air, the warlord armies of the Tianlong Kingdom could not stop their attack at all.

The bandit troops were also quickly completing their deployment, waiting for the opportunity to launch a full-scale attack.

Both sides were actively preparing for war, and it was precisely because of this that Lu Tianhao's subsequent march was not blocked by the bandits.

As time went by, they were getting closer and closer to Kyoto Prefecture, and there were actually quite a few refugee civilians rushing to Kyoto Prefecture.

After seeing these fleeing people, Lu Tianhao worked tirelessly to search and inquire among the people, hoping to find his family.

After searching and asking around, there was no trace of his family.

These refugee people did not flee from their own place at all.

However, what made Lu Tianhao happy was that he had not heard of any fleeing civilians being attacked by the bandit soldiers.

As they got closer to Kyoto Prefecture, Lu Tianhao and the soldiers could feel the shadow of war covering the sky of Kyoto Prefecture.

It was less than a day's journey away from Kyoto Prefecture, or it could be said that they had already reached the outskirts of Kyoto Prefecture. Lu Tianhao asked the soldiers to set up camp in advance.

He wanted to let the soldiers have a good rest before heading to Kyoto Prefecture tomorrow.

The battle between Kyoto Prefecture and the bandits was on the verge of breaking out.

Once the battle begins, Kyoto Prefecture will become a meat grinder, and a large number of soldiers will sacrifice their lives on this land.

The troops led by Lu Tianhao have been trained and are well-equipped.

However, when facing such a large-scale war, there are many uncertain factors, and it is not possible to sweep away everything just by having sophisticated weapons and equipment.

Lu Tianhao is now unsure. He doesn't know how many of his more than 1000 men will survive this war.

War is inherently cruel and death is inevitable, but Lu Tianhao does not want his troops to suffer too many casualties.

After all, it was not easy to form this army. Once it is destroyed, it will be very difficult to re-form it.

In the temporary command center, Lu Tianhao and several generals sat together, discussing what to do after arriving in Kyoto Prefecture.

Zhang Cheng spoke first, "Captain, we came to Kyoto Prefecture mainly to look for your family.

Once we find your family, we will evacuate immediately. The water in Kyoto Prefecture is too deep for us to get involved."

Jiao Yajun also spoke up, "Captain Zhang, what you said is wrong. The country is in crisis right now, how can you say we are wading into muddy waters?

Now that we are here, as soldiers, we must live up to our military duties.

Defending our country and expelling foreign powers is our military job. I think we can send a team of soldiers to send the commander's family back.

We will continue to stay here and fight, and we must drive the bandits out."

Lu Tianhao nodded, "Yes, now that we are here, how can we easily withdraw?

The bandits and I now have a blood feud. My goal is not only to defeat the bandits, but also to destroy their country, so as to relieve the hatred in my heart.

After I find my family, I will send someone to take them away.

Everyone here must think carefully. As long as we enter Kyoto Prefecture, we must be prepared to fight the bandits to the death.

Are you ready?"

"We are all ready and vow to fight the bandits to the end." Everyone, including Zhang Cheng, expressed their determination.

These people are all trained and they are 100% loyal to him. Lu Tianhao doesn't have to worry at all that they will say one thing in public and do another in private.

Lu Tianhao believed that as long as his orders were given, these people would resolutely complete the task.

Just then, Gousheng and Dunzi, who had gone out to investigate, came back.

After letting the two sit down, Lu Tianhao asked, "How is the investigation going?"

Dunzi said, "The situation we discovered is not optimistic.

Although Jiang Guangshi called back all his troops, there were no less than 30 troops stationed around Kyoto Prefecture.

In addition, the warlord troops from various places have been gradually reinforced by 200,000 to 300,000 people, and in the end the total force may be 600,000 to 700,000.

However, these troops were poorly equipped with weapons and had weak combat effectiveness, and there was no way they could compare with the bandits' army.

The bandits mobilized an army of 30 to in both the north and the south. Together with their naval fleet coming from the east sea, the total force of the bandits reached about .

At that time, Kyoto Prefecture will be attacked from the east, south and north.

Although our army has reached 600,000 or 700,000 troops, which is twice the number of the bandits.

However, our army is far behind the bandit army in terms of weapons and equipment.

In this unequal battle, I think it will be difficult for us to resist the attack of the bandits.

By then, we will pay a heavy price. At most, we can only hold out for three to two months before we are defeated. "

Lu Tianhao nodded with satisfaction. This man who was trained to be a soldier king was different. Although he was still a boy, he possessed the ability of a commander.

Ding Xuguang spoke up at this time, "Dunzi, have you forgotten our team?

Although our team is small in number, we have the strength to easily destroy an enemy company.

With the presence of our army, do you think the bandits can really defeat us within two or three months?"
