Strategy? I'm at full level and criticizing like crazy, taming sickly villains

"Lu Zhan?" Jiang Li was startled and stood up suddenly, then frowned subconsciously, "Hasn't he already left, why did he come back again?"

The person who came to report couldn't answer her question, so Jiang Li didn't say anything more and just walked out of the camp quickly.

As soon as he went out, he saw Lu Zhan waiting outside the camp. Behind him were more than a hundred cronies who accompanied him in transporting weapons and armor.

Are they all back?

Jiang Li glanced at Lu Zhan and asked, "Why are you back again?"

Lu Zhan's expression was solemn, with a hint of worry in his brows, "Someone sent me a message saying that Liang Kingdom suddenly invaded our Qing Kingdom border, and there were a large number of people. I didn't trust you, so I came back."

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, "Who sent you the letter?"

Lu Zhan shook his head, "I don't know, but that's not important. What's important is that the situation here is very bad right now. It's too dangerous for you to stay here."

He said anxiously: "Liang Guo has assembled an army of 200,000, and we only have 80,000. It is impossible to win."

"Princess, you must leave with me now!"

Jiang Li was very confused about who sent the letter to Lu Zhan and why.

But judging from what Lu Zhan meant, the other person was probably anonymous, and she couldn't find out anything if she continued to ask.

So she didn't dwell on the issue anymore, and just shook her head solemnly and rejected Lu Zhan's words.

"I can't leave."

She said, "I know it is difficult to defeat more with less, but the Flame Army cannot retreat, so I cannot retreat."

"Lu Zhan, you also said that this place is very dangerous now. Even if you bring more than a hundred people to join, you won't be of much help."

"So, before Ning Cheng is surrounded, you leave immediately."

The reason why Jiang Li said this was because he was thinking about the overall situation.

It doesn't make much sense for Lu Zhan to stay here. Returning to the capital will be of greater use, so there is really no need to take risks with her here.

After all, on the battlefield, any accident can happen.

She couldn't retreat, and Qin Jue had the halo of being a villain, but Lu Zhan had no guarantee and no need, so she still hoped he could leave.

Lu Zhan looked at her, perhaps seeing the determination in her eyes, but after a moment of silence, he really didn't persuade her to leave.

"Since you won't leave, then I will stay and protect you."

He said, "Don't worry. Before I came back, I had left a few people behind to return to the capital. I have also explained everything that needs to be explained."

"Even if I die here, it won't have any impact."

Jiang Li frowned, "I have Lan Yin protecting me, I don't have to ask you..."

"Jiang Li!" He suddenly called her by name, interrupting what she was about to say.

"You once said that we are partners and friends, so now this is my own decision... Can you respect my ideas?"

When Jiang Li reached his mouth, he was unable to speak.

She looked at Lu Zhan intently for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly, "Since you decide to stay... then I'll listen to you."

"But Lu Zhan, you have to protect yourself."

This is out of the concern of her friends, and also out of Jiang Li's selfishness... In the final analysis, her cooperation with the Lu family has always been through Lu Zhan. If something happens to Lu Zhan here, she is afraid that it will happen to her in the future. It’s also difficult to handle.

Lu Zhan seemed to be very happy with her concern, with a smile on his face, and he nodded heavily: "I will protect myself, and I will protect you."

Lu Zhan's goal when he came back was very clear, which was to ensure Jiang Li's safety. Other than that, whether the war could be won and whether Ningcheng could be defended were secondary.

Therefore, he did not express any opinions on other matters. He only took his own people and stayed outside Jiang Li's camp.

If there is any accident, we can respond in time.

That night, the people of Ningcheng finally evacuated, and Jiang Li was also preparing to take his people back to Ningcheng as soon as possible.

However, Meng Yuanzhou was not just a freeloader. His reputation as the God of War was not in vain. He seemed to have figured out Jiang Li's plan a long time ago, so when the Lieyan Army retreated to Ningcheng, they were intercepted by the Liang State army.

Meng Yuanzhou was not testing this time, but dispatching all his troops as soon as he was dispatched.

Although Jiang Li's side had previously consumed about ten or twenty thousand Liang Guo's original army, with the addition of Meng Yuanzhou's army, the number of the other side was twice that of this side.

Even on Qingguo's home court, no matter how brave and skillful the Flame Army is, it is obvious that with such a numerical gap, it will be difficult to win.

Even if they really win, I'm afraid that the Flame Army's 80,000 troops will be depleted.

In that case, what if Jiang Li wins? Having lost the biggest trump card in his hand, it is no longer possible to seize power.

It can be said that Meng Yuanzhou used all his tactics from the very beginning, directly forcing Jiang Li to a dead end.

Meng Yuanzhou is not a person who likes taking risks. Logically speaking, since he knows that Jiang Li has arrangements, he will definitely be more careful and test the truth first.

But now he revealed everything as soon as he came up, which could only mean that someone leaked the secret... And this person's words left Meng Yuanzhou without any doubt.

Is it the mole again? Jiang Li's eyes darkened, and when she saw the approaching Liang army, a smile suddenly appeared on her lips.

Just when everyone was in a panic, suddenly there was a loud bang from the Liang Army!

This sound was like a signal, followed by loud noises one after another, followed by a burst of howling ghosts and howls, and the Liang army fell into complete chaos!

Seeing this sudden change, even Yang Jin was shocked.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked at Jiang Li next to him, "This is..."

There was still a smile on Jiang Li's lips, and she said, "Well, I've had some explosives buried in advance, and we're just waiting for them to come."

Now that he knew there was a mole, how could Jiang Li do nothing?

In addition to the Flame Army, after all, she also has people from Mingyue Tower available.

While asking them to buy food and grass, she also asked them to collect enough materials for gunpowder.

Part of it was made into a bomb ball, and the other part was of course made into a more lethal explosive.

Although the imperial court had strict control over this thing, Jiang Li couldn't stand it. With the backing of the Lu family, it was still easy to get the explosive formula from them.

It's just that the materials are indeed scarce, and only so much explosives can be prepared, and they are all used today.

She didn't ask the Lieyan Army to do this, but was arranged by the people from Mingyue Tower in advance, so even if there was a spy, the other party was not fully aware of her movements. Now, wouldn't she have fallen into a trap?

It wasn't until the explosion completely subsided that Jiang Li said, "Now...it's time for us to fight back!"

"Soldiers, rush for me!"
