When everyone heard that they were going to attack the city, they were stunned.

It's getting dark now, are we going to attack without any preparation?

Besides, since you have just arrived, shouldn't you first understand the latest military situation?

Several people exchanged glances with each other, and all of them had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

Six generals, led by General Song Biao, entered the tent together after some hesitation.

The group didn't see anything else, but first saw two female guards standing on the left and right of the Grand Commander.

One of them they had already seen on the road, her name was Qingshuang, and she was responsible for protecting the daughter of the Grand Commander.

The other person appeared out of nowhere and looked very unfamiliar.

Meng Qianqian was not wearing a mask. She had been a widow in the capital for many years. Although her affair with Lu Lingxiao was widely spread in the capital, these generals had never seen her in person.

Lu Yuan sat in the main seat and glanced at everyone coldly: "Are you here to discuss the war, or to see my guards?"

Everyone quickly looked away.

Meng Qianqian poured Lu Yuan a cup of tea.

Song Biao's eyes flashed with disdain. A guard? He's probably the type who uses his beauty to please others!

He bowed his hand perfunctorily and said, "May I ask, Grand Commander, which city shall we attack first?"

Lu Yuan picked up the teacup and said, "Attack whichever one is closer."

Song Biao frowned.

The others also looked disapproving.

Of the three important locations captured by the rebels, Feng County is close to Yumen Pass, while Yanggu Town and Chi County are both near Fengsha Town. However, although Chi County is far away, the road is flat and there are less than 5,000 rebels in Chi County, making it the easiest to capture.

If the first battle is won easily, it will greatly boost morale.

Although Yanggu Town was close, the troops had to cross a mountain, which was not favorable for the cavalry. They were exhausted during the battle, and their physical strength and morale were both low.

Lu Yuan asked: "Why? Do you have any objections?"

Song Biao asked, "How does the Grand Commander plan to fight?"

Lu Yuan said nonchalantly: "Didn't you fight in wars? You have to ask me for such a small matter. What's the point of the court supporting you?"

Everyone clenched their fists.

Song Biao frowned: "The infantry has not arrived yet, and there are only 10,000 cavalry——"

Lu Yuan said coldly: "All the troops are yours! I just want the result. You must capture Yanggu Town before dawn!"

After leaving the tent, the generals were extremely angry.

"Damn it! This treacherous minister only knows how to play political games. How can he lead troops in battle? Isn't he just fooling around?"

"Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Who made him the commander of this mission?"

"You and I both know how he got here. Han Ci, don't you have anything to say? He was able to come to the border to bully others by murdering your uncle."

The young man named Han Ci said calmly, "The commander-in-chief has ordered us to leave immediately. I should go and recruit the troops."

"Hey - you - General Song, tell me, do we really want to fight? If you stand up, we will definitely follow you! He is showing off in the capital, that's because he has the Jinyiwei under his command. When he comes to the border, brothers will not fall for that!"

The speaker was Zhang Feihu, the most powerful general under General Han.

At the border, the strong are kings, and the soldiers who sacrifice their lives and shed their blood only respect the strong, such as General Han and the former Marshal Chu.

Song Biao said with a deep look in his eyes: "If you want to sideline him, there must be a reason."

Zhang Feihu's eyes turned: "You mean——"

Song Biao said: "The first battle, lost."

Half an hour later, the army was ready to set off.

Ten thousand cavalrymen went out in full force, leaving only the original city troops of Fengsha Town, which totaled less than two thousand people, including five hundred old, weak, sick and disabled people, and five hundred new recruits.

It's quiet at night.

It snowed heavily again at the border, and the traces of the cavalry were quickly buried by the snow.

The tent was empty. The patrolling guards made a circle and then returned to the tent to rest, rubbing their almost frozen hands.

Suddenly, two dark shadows took advantage of the cover of heavy snow and sneaked into the camp using their lightness skills.

"General Zhou, all the imperial cavalry have left, leaving only a hundred or so horsemen! That emperor was so smart that he sent someone who didn't know how to fight to lead the troops. He never expected that after sending all the people to attack the city, they would fall into our trap and leave the tiger behind!"

"There are still two thousand defenders in the town."

"Those people are just here to make up the numbers. They are here just to give themselves away. Let's kill the Grand Commander sent by the court, then go back to Yanggu Town and kill those cavalrymen as well!"

"Okay! Do it!"

At General Zhou's command, the deputy general beside him blew the horn of attack.

A large mass of rebels rushed out from the woods behind.

Leading the group were fifty cavalrymen.

General Zhou found his mount, jumped on it, raised his halberd high, and shouted, "Brothers, the one sitting in the tent is the emperor's father, the commander-in-chief of the court. Whoever can take his head will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!"

"Nothing."

Lu Yuan sat on the futon and blew away the hot air in the cup. "My life is worth a million gold."

"Come on!"

The rebels were filled with anger and rushed towards the main tent with red eyes.

The first one to rush to the tent was General Zhou's deputy general. He drew his sword and jumped into the tent.

All I heard was a scream of "Ah", and a stream of blood splattered on the tent cloth.

"Look! Vice Admiral Wu is coming out!"

Is this... the end?

too fast!

Lieutenant General Wu covered his throat which was gushing with blood, knelt on his knees, and fell into the snow with his eyes open.

Everyone was shocked!

General Zhou pointed his spear and said, "Whoever hurt Deputy General Wu, come out and be killed!"

call out!

A dark shadow leaped out at a speed so fast that no one could react, and flashed by in front of everyone's eyes like an afterimage.

Meng Qianqian held the Embroidered Spring Knife in her backhand and stopped beside General Zhou. She said with an icy gaze, "I'm out."

General Zhou's eyes widened and the halberd in his hand fell. Like Deputy General Wu, he raised his hand to cover his throat, but could not stop the blood from gushing out.

He fell off his horse in a panic, staring at Meng Qianqian in the snow with horror in his eyes: "You...you are..."

A cold arrow suddenly shot out!

Meng Qianqian raised her hand and grabbed it, then spun around neatly and shot the arrow in her hand out.

The archer fell to the ground, shot dead!

This girl only used three moves and killed three of their generals! Even the leader, General Zhou, died tragically at her hands! What if she used a hundred moves?

The last person who was so terrifying was Marshal Chu.

But the Chu family had all died a long time ago, so where did this girl come from?

Another deputy general named Li took over the command in a well-trained manner: "We have many people and power. No matter how powerful she is, she is alone. Why should we be afraid of her? Kill her!"

Everyone rushed forward.

Meng Qianqian nimbly shuttled among the rebel cavalry, killing them one by one with her sword, and her moves were effective. Soon more than half of the fifty cavalry were killed or wounded, but there were a total of ten thousand of them, and I didn't believe that this girl wouldn't run out of energy!

Once they kill her, the head of the great commander-in-chief will be theirs!
