Jiang Yanwan smiled back, her eyes as sharp as torches, "Then let them see our strength!"

As the enemy approached, the village erupted in unison with shouts, and men, women, young and old worked together to prepare for the coming battle.

At this moment, a scout came running over in a panic and reported bluntly: "General, there is a situation - the enemy commander wants to negotiate with you alone!"

"Negotiation?" Lu Wenjin narrowed his eyes, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

Wu Junyao patted Lu Wenjin's shoulder and asked, "Could it be a trick?"

Lu Wenjin shook his head slightly and said thoughtfully: "In any case, this may be an opportunity."

Jiang Yanwan raised her head, her deep eyes full of trust, "General Lu, I will go with you."

Lu Wenjin nodded, turned around and told the others: "Everyone, get ready. If the negotiations break down, fight immediately!"

Lu Wenjin and Jiang Yanwan walked side by side towards the village entrance. The villagers along the way stopped what they were doing and whispered:

"Is the General going to negotiate?"

“Hopefully it can be resolved peacefully.”

"I believe they can protect us."

When Lu Wenjin and Jiang Yanwan approached the entrance of the village, they could vaguely see a fast horse coming out of the enemy's formation in the distance. The knight on the horse held up a white flag, obviously coming to convey his willingness to negotiate. The two stopped, exchanged a firm look, and then continued to move forward.

Finally, they stopped in an open space outside the village. The enemy messenger also pulled the reins and shouted loudly: "General Lu, our general wants to talk to you!"

Lu Wenjin nodded and said, "Where is your coach?"

Just as he finished speaking, an enemy general wearing armor and with a stern face came from a distance. He walked up to the two of them calmly, with a hint of arrogance in his expression.

"General Lu, I've long heard of your great name." The enemy general spoke, his tone mixed with elusive meanings.

"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me what you want to say." Lu Wenjin went straight to the point without any politeness.

The enemy general smiled smugly, "My request is very simple. As long as General Lu is willing to withdraw his troops immediately and hand over the supplies in the village, I promise to withdraw my troops immediately and not attack again."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere around them suddenly became tense. Jiang Yanwan frowned slightly and glanced at the enemy general, "Isn't this just asking us to surrender in disguise?"

"The so-called peace is nothing more than a way to delay time," Lu Wenjin said coldly.

The enemy general seemed to have anticipated their reaction and said with his hands spread out: "I am only giving you a polite notice. If you don't want to, then we can only fight."

Before he finished speaking, a whistle suddenly sounded, and the enemy troops that had been lurking around suddenly appeared one after another, with sharp blades flashing in the sun. The sound of hurried horse hooves also came from the direction of the village, and it was obvious that the enemy was coming with great force this time.

At this moment, several passers-by in the woods happened to see this scene. They held their breath and whispered to each other:

"Look over there, they seem to be negotiating."

“This scene is really explosive.”

"I hope General Lu can turn the danger into safety."

Lu Wenjin showed no fear, staring at the enemy general and saying word by word: "In that case, let's speak with strength!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yanwan behind him was already ready for battle. She drew the long sword from her waist and cast a sharp look around.

The enemy general stopped smiling and said coldly, "Very good. I also want to learn some of General Lu's tricks."

However, just when the situation became tense, there was a sudden explosion from behind the enemy camp, thick smoke rose up, and then a golden light jumped down from the hillside. It was a surprise force led by Wu Junyao. They took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and launched a surprise attack from the flank.

"What... is going on?" The enemy general was caught off guard and his face suddenly changed.

"It seems that you underestimated us." Lu Wenjin took advantage of the situation and waved his hand, ordering his soldiers who had been lying in ambush to launch a counterattack.

"Kill!" A deafening shout erupted from the crowd, and countless soldiers rushed towards the enemy like a tide. Jiang Yanwan also waved her sword and rushed forward, moving like the wind in the melee.

The villagers stood in the distance, watching their own fighters counterattack, and shouted in encouragement:

"Come on! Defeat them!"

"General Lu is mighty!"

As the battle progressed, the enemy's lines were pushed back, apparently having not expected such a counterattack.

At this moment, Lu Wenjin suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness. He looked around the battlefield and his eyes fell on the enemy general who had not moved for a long time.

"Be careful, he has a trick up his sleeve!" Lu Wenjin reminded.

Sure enough, the enemy general quickly took out a signal gun and fired it into the air. Immediately afterwards, a group of new reinforcements suddenly rushed out from the rear, trying to cooperate with the enemy from inside and outside.

"It's really not that simple!" Jiang Yanwan was secretly shocked and looked back at Lu Wenjin, "What should I do?"

Lu Wenjin pondered for a moment, then said decisively: "All troops, listen up, use the second plan and gradually suppress the enemy!"

At the same time as he gave the order, Wu Junyao had organized an elite team, which encircled the enemy from the other side and engaged in a fierce battle with the enemy.

The battle situation was changing rapidly, and at this time, several villagers who were observing were quietly communicating:

"It seems the situation is still unclear."

"But our generals are very brave, they will definitely win!"

After several rounds of fierce fighting, the enemy gradually began to show signs of fatigue, while our morale was high. Lu Wenjin took the opportunity to command his troops to suppress the enemy and force them into a desperate situation step by step.

Finally, under Jiang Yanwan's sharp sword, the enemy general retreated in disgrace and the enemy line collapsed completely.

"Victory!" the villagers cheered thunderously.

"Great, we won!"

However, just as everyone was celebrating the victory, Lu Wenjin looked at the direction where the enemy general was fleeing in panic and fell into deep thought.

"We can't let our guard down," he said, turning to face Jiang Yanwan and Wu Junyao, and said seriously, "We must track his whereabouts and make sure he doesn't come back again."

Wu Junyao nodded and answered without hesitation: "I will arrange the personnel right away."

Jiang Yanwan frowned and thought, "Perhaps we can find more clues from their actions."

"That's right." Lu Wenjin nodded thoughtfully, with a complex light flashing in his eyes, "And I want to know who he is connecting with."

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the distance, breaking the brief calm. The three of them looked at each other vigilantly, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts.

"It seems that things are much more complicated than we thought." Jiang Yanwan whispered.

"No matter what, we must find out who is behind this," Lu Wenjin said firmly.

At this moment, an old villager who had been following them suddenly spoke up with a serious expression: "Generals, perhaps I know some rumors about those people..."

His voice was faint but full of storytelling, as if it was the prelude to a bigger mystery.

"Please tell me in detail." Lu Wenjin immediately paid attention.

The old villager sighed and said slowly: "Over the years, some unidentified people have appeared on this land. They seem to be looking for something..."
