Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 136 Advancing to the Second Innate Realm, the Great War Begins

in the afternoon.

Lu Fan did not practice swords in the yard, but meditated in the room and practiced exercises.

After a while, he opened the attribute panel, looked at the scriptures of martial arts, and found that he was still short of 20370 points of experience before he could level up.

That is the difference between 203.7 assignable attributes.

He didn't want to wait any longer, and wanted to raise his cultivation to the second level of innate as soon as possible.

add a bit!

With a thought, Lu Fan added the 203.7 distributable attribute to the Taoism.

The Dao Jing is instantly upgraded to No.12 weight.

The next moment, spiritual power surged in wildly, filling his dantian instantly, and there was a surplus to attack that barrier.

After a long time.

"boom!"

The barrier was broken, and the capacity of Dantian expanded again.

Got promoted.

Innate Second Realm.

Open the properties panel.

Name: Lu Fan

Lifespan: 18/2800
Power: 588.93
Agility: 235.41
Mental Power: 228.57
Physical strength: 663.84
Cultivation: Innate Second Realm

Exercises: Dao Jing No.12 Heavy (0/60000)

Martial Arts: Starry Sky Sword Art Xiaocheng (5/20)

Assignable Attribute Points: 522.56
After being promoted, Lu Fan's strength increased by 64 points, physical strength increased by 32 points, agility increased by 24 points, and mental power increased by 16 point.

Now his true strength is equivalent to the Sixth Realm of Innate Realm.

One step closer to the top martial artist.

He had learned in advance that the strongest person in the Chu Kingdom was one with the cultivation base of the eight innate realms.

And there is only one person.

That person seems to be called Yunxuan?
It is said that he is the head of Jianlu, the largest sect in Chu State.

Such a detached person would not easily make a move.

Therefore, Lu Fan was not too worried.

Besides Yunxuan, there are three innate seven-level powerhouses in Chu State, all of whom are transcendent and will not easily get involved in the war.

However, even if these three innate seven-level powerhouses make a move, Lu Fan is not afraid.

With his various methods, even if he faces the strong innate seven realms, he will remain invincible.

Moreover, even if Yunxuan came, he was confident that he could entangle him.

Although he couldn't win, Yun Xuan wanted to kill him, but it wasn't that easy.

What's more, he still has a hole card.

He really pushed him into a hurry, adding the rest of the distributable attributes to strength, as strong as Yunxuan, I am afraid that he is not his opponent.

That's it.

Since no one in the Chu State can threaten him, this attack on Chu will surely return with a big victory.

……

……

Early the next morning.

An army of 12 set off from Zhennan Pass and headed south all the way. After a day's march, they entered the territory of Chu State.

As the evening approached, under Xu Zhao's command, all the soldiers began to set up camp.

This place is less than thirty miles away from Dayu City.

Dayu City is a border city of Chu State, facing Zhennan Pass across the mountain.

The terrain is steep, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

It is the only channel for Da Zhou to enter Chu State.

If you don't go to Dayu City, you can only take the mountain road.

It is simply unrealistic to use the baggage of a large army.

Had dinner.

In the camp, Lu Fan and others sat together to discuss tomorrow's battle plan.

"Let's talk about it, how should we fight tomorrow's battle?"

Lu Fan's eyes swept over everyone's faces, and finally fixed on Zhou Wanjun, "Commander Zhou, you come first."

"it is good."

Zhou Wanjun nodded and said, "According to the information sent back a few days ago, Dayu City has 20 Chu State defenders, and now it is only a lot more."

"With our current strength, if we want to storm Dayu City, I'm afraid we will have to pay a very high price."

"Why don't we send experts to sneak into Dayu City overnight to harass and destroy the city, so as to affect their morale and morale."

"But at the same time, we also need to prevent the Chu army from attacking us overnight."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Wanjun looked at everyone, "I don't know what you think?"

"I don't think a sneak attack is feasible."

Zhao Jin retorted: "The Chu army must have received the information that we are stationed here tonight, maybe they have already set up an ambush in the city, waiting for us to fall into the trap."

"Yes."

"Sneak attack overnight is too risky."

"just forget it."

Everyone objected.

"In my opinion, it's better to recharge your batteries tonight, and make a tentative attack tomorrow to find out the bottom of the Chu army."

Liu Feng said: "After all, Dayu City has many soldiers and generals. It is not so easy to take it down in one fell swoop. We must be prepared for a protracted war."

"Yes."

"As it should be."

Qin Huinan and Sui Meng expressed their support at the same time.

"Xu Zhao, what do you think?"

Lu Fan turned his gaze to Xu Zhao.

"Everyone, please see."

Xu Zhao took out a map and spread it on the table.

"This is Dayu City, with mountains on both sides, easy to defend but difficult to attack."

"What's more, there are 20 troops stationed here. It is too difficult to win in one fell swoop."

"It's better for us to bypass Dayu City, go deep into the hinterland of Chu State, quickly occupy other cities, and cut off the back road of Dayu City."

As he spoke, Xu Zhao pointed to the far end of the map, "Although this is also a mountain road, the terrain is relatively slow, and even our supply troops can pass through it smoothly."

"It's just that the road is far away. I'm afraid it will take at least a month to bypass this mountain range and enter the hinterland of Chu State."

"But as long as we pass and the front is open, we will drive straight in and only take the capital of Chu."

"At that time, Chu State will be in chaos."

After a short pause, Xu Zhao continued: "We can catch Chu State by surprise and take the capital of Chu State in one fell swoop."

"It's too risky."

Gu Cheng retorted: "Even if we bypass Dayu City, it is absolutely impossible to hide it from the Chu army's eyeliner. Maybe the defenders of Dayu City will take the initiative to attack us from behind. If there is another Chu army in front Block, under the attack from both sides, our army may not be able to withstand it."

"It's okay."

Xu Zhao was confident, "I did this for another purpose, which is to lure out the defenders of Dayu City. Fighting in the wild is better than siege warfare."

"Moreover, they are in the light, and we are in the dark."

"We will be the ones who will have the advantage at that time."

"Even if they attack from both sides, we can defeat each other."

"As long as the main force of the Chu army can be wiped out in one fell swoop, those cities will become empty cities, and they will no longer be able to stop our attack."

"When we attack the capital of Chu, it will become easier."

Speaking of this, Xu Zhao turned his gaze to Lu Fan, "Lord Lu, what do you think?"

"Your idea is very good."

Lu Fan praised, but suddenly changed the topic, "However, there are hidden dangers."

"What if the defenders of Dayu City ignore us and turn around to attack Zhennan Pass?"

"After all, there are less than 20 soldiers left in Zhennan Pass, but they have to face [-] Chu troops. Can they hold it?"

"If Zhennan Pass is lost, will the Shu and Yue countries turn against each other? Then go back and attack Fenglei City and Cangyun City?"

"While these are hypotheticals, what if it happens? We can't afford it."

"What's more, Dayu City just stands still, even if it doesn't do anything, it's a great threat to stare at us behind us."

"So, no matter what, it is impossible to cross Dayu City."

Lu Fan said: "We must take Dayu City so that we don't have to worry about the future."

"Yes."

"A risk indeed."

"If it fails, the consequences will be disastrous."

Everyone agreed with Lu Fan's statement.

"I also know the stakes are high."

Xu Zhao sighed: "However, if it is not dangerous, we can only attack Dayu City by force. In that case, it will take time and effort, and we may not be able to win it. Maybe we will be dragged here and be unable to move."

Speaking of this, he asked: "I don't know what advice Mr. Lu has?"

Everyone turned their attention to Lu Fan.

"Gao Jian is not."

Lu Fan shook his head lightly, "Just as you said, attack Dayu City by force!"

"what?"

"what?"

Everyone was shocked and their expressions changed.

But no one questioned it. They all knew that Lu Fan must have his own ideas.

"I decided to launch a strong attack tomorrow."

Lu Fan said: "Since you couldn't think of it, the defenders of Dayu City probably couldn't think of it either, but we were caught off guard."

"What's more, the terrain of Dayu City is complicated, and there is no other way but to attack."

"The most important thing is that we don't have time to spend with them."

"Not only do we have to attack by force, but we also need to take Dayu City quickly, and then quickly go south to take the capital of Chu State."

"The detour is too slow."

"According to what Xu Zhao said, it will be at least two months before we arrive at the capital of Chu State."

"Even if we take the capital of Chu State, we will have to fight the defenders of Dayu City when we return."

"It's better to advance the decisive battle. As long as the 20 Yucheng defenders are defeated, the remaining troops of Chu Kingdom will definitely not be able to stop us."

"And, with the current situation in Dazhou, we can't afford to wait."

"The sooner the battle against Chu, the better, it must not be delayed."

As he spoke, Lu Fan looked around at the crowd, "If you believe in me, you will fight with me tomorrow. I hope we can concentrate all our strength and treat it as the last battle."

"If we win, we will take advantage of the victory and pursue it."

"If we lose, let's go back to Zhennan Pass and think of another way."

"However, I am confident."

"At that time, I will rush to the front and smash the city gate."

Lu Fan said: "Follow me, enter the city, and start a decisive battle with the enemy in Dayu City. With our strength, we will definitely win this battle!"

"it is good!"

"Just listen to you!"

"One battle determines the outcome!"

Everyone was aroused with pride.

They have never seen such a commander, who rushed to the front alone.

Blocked countless injuries for the soldiers behind him, completely disregarding his own safety.

Only such people are worth following.

Of course they can't be cowardly.

"According to the intelligence, the general of the Chu Kingdom is named Shi Yan, and he is a strong man in the Innate Realm."

Lu Fan continued: "Leave this person to me, and leave the remaining five first-rank masters to you."

"it is good."

The crowd agreed in unison.

Among them, except for Lu Fan and Xu Zhao, they are all first-rank masters.

Nine against five is more than enough.

As far as the number of masters is concerned, they far exceed the defenders of Dayu City.

If it is more powerful than the soldiers, it is even stronger than the opponent.

It can completely offset the gap in the number of people.

If Lu Fan could break open the city gate in one fell swoop, rush into the city first, and start street fighting with the enemy in the city, the enemy's geographical advantage would be gone.

With the strength of the Great Zhou army, it will definitely defeat the enemy.

Therefore, the most critical point in this battle is Lu Fan.

The defenders of Dayu City will definitely guard the gate with heavy troops. Even if the gate is broken, there will be layers of defense inside.

If Lu Fan wanted to rush into the city, he could only break through the layers of defense.

This is undoubtedly the most difficult.

Even if Lu Fan is a strong innate realm, he may not be able to do it.

Although everyone agreed, they inevitably had doubts in their hearts.

However, since they choose to trust Lu Fan, they will not be easily shaken.

"Xu Zhao, tomorrow you will be in charge of staying in command."

Seeing the high spirits of the crowd, Lu Fan was very relieved, "Everyone else rushed into the city with me."

"it is good."

Everyone put down their doubts and chose to advance and retreat with Lu Fan.

They all know that this battle is crucial.

You have to work together.

"Command, except for the guards, everyone should rest well tonight."

Lu Fan said, "All of you, including you, should recharge your batteries and prepare for tomorrow's battle."

"But……"

Xu Mingyang was very puzzled, "What if the enemy comes to attack?"

"Just leave it to me."

Lu Fan said: "I'm waiting for them outside. If they don't come, I will go to Dayu City in person to find out the truth."

"it is good."

Without any objection, everyone got up and left.

They were extremely assured of Lu Fan's strength.

Even if you go to the enemy camp alone, you can return unscathed.

……

……

Lu Fan put on his armor, carried his bow and arrow, hung the Kunwu knife on his waist, picked up the cold iron gun, and slipped out of the barracks quietly.

When he came to the woods in front of the barracks, he jumped onto a big tree, sat down cross-legged, and began to meditate.

But the surrounding voices could not deceive him.

If there is an enemy attack, he will find it immediately.

The night gradually deepened, and there was silence all around.

Occasionally, there were a few insect calls, which were very clear in the silent wilderness.

Lu Fan woke up from his trance, looked at the moonlight in the sky, and knew that it was almost time.

The enemy has not arrived yet.

There is no sound in the distance, and it seems that it will not come.

Jumping off the tree, Lu Fan headed towards Dayu City.

His speed was very fast, but his ears were still listening to the sounds around him, and he still didn't find anything.

Now he can basically conclude that the Chu army did not send anyone out to attack.

Then don't come out.

Lu Fan suddenly accelerated his speed, and in almost a moment, he came to Dayu City.

He stared at his feet, and his body rose into the air, like a big black bird, flying up the city wall.

"Who?"

A sentry soldier spotted him and shouted.

The cold iron gun in Lu Fan's hand was thrown forward, and blood splattered immediately.

A shrill scream sounded, waking up the sleeping people.

This was done deliberately by Lu Fan, just to make some noise.

"Enemy attack!"

Groups of well-dressed Chu soldiers emerged from the darkness and shot at Lu Fan with their bows and arrows.

Looking at the opponent's posture, it seems that they have been prepared for a long time.

Lu Fan was naturally not afraid.

Although Chu Jun guessed that someone would come to sneak attack on Dayu City, he never expected that he was the only one coming.

It is even more unexpected that with his current strength, he is not afraid of any ambushes at all.

To deal with him, many people are useless.

"Shhhhhh!"

A round of arrow rain hit, with a strong sound of piercing the air.

Lu Fan soared into the sky again, dodging the rain of arrows, and when he landed, he came in front of a group of Chu soldiers, and the cold iron spear in his hand swept out.

"Oh!"

Dozens of soldiers in the front row flew upside down, collided with the soldiers behind, and let out screams.

Lu Fan rushed into the crowd, the cold iron spear stabbed out continuously, and black spear flowers bloomed around him.

In an instant, hundreds of Chu soldiers died under his gun.

He didn't stop, he jumped, jumped off the city wall, and fell into Dayu City.

Before he landed, countless arrows shot from all directions, blocking all his way.

In the air, Lu Fan twisted his body, suddenly stopped falling, and instead rushed forward.

At the same time, the cold iron spear in his hand suddenly slashed downwards.

Most of the arrows missed, but there were still many arrows falling on him, making crisp noises.

It was like shooting the Man of Steel without leaving a trace on him.

Let alone hurt him.

Lu Fan was so fast that he came over a group of Chu soldiers almost instantly.

The next moment, the cold iron spear swung down.

"boom!"

Hundreds of Chu soldiers were killed instantly.

After landing, Lu Fan rushed into the crowd again, and as the cold iron spear flew, Chu soldiers fell down in pieces like harvested crops.

Before the Chu soldiers formed a siege, he turned around and rushed into the city.

Although he had never been to Dayu City, he had seen the map of Dayu City countless times.

He is familiar with several important places in Dayu City.

The place he went was the barracks where the main force of the Chu army was located.

"call!"

Dozens of long spears shot out from the darkness, as if they wanted to pierce Lu Fan's whole body.

Lu Fan jumped lightly, his feet just stepped on several guns, and he used his strength to fly into the air.

At the same time, the cold iron gun in his hand was sent down, and the shadow of the gun suddenly appeared.

Dozens of Chu soldiers hiding in the darkness were ruthlessly harvested.

Lu Fan continued to move forward.

"Shh!"

The dazzling light of the knife flashed, and the shining steel knife joined together and cut towards Lu Fan.

Lu Fan's wrist trembled slightly, and countless spear flowers floated out.

Blooming around him.

"Oh!"

Following a burst of soft noises, dozens of Chu soldiers fell to the ground.

Lu Fan knew that these were all masters in the Chu army.

But in front of him, he was still vulnerable.

Without looking back, Lu Fan continued to rush towards the direction of the barracks.

Along the way, he encountered countless obstacles from the Chu army, but they couldn't let him stay for a while.

The screams sounded one after another, and the wailing continued.

Blood was everywhere, dyeing the whole street red.

Chu Bing, who was lucky enough to survive, couldn't help but feel frightened when he saw the tragic situation in front of him.

They mobilized so many people that they couldn't even keep the other party alone.

He was also killed by the opponent.

The man's name was ready to come out.

Lu Fan!

This name they had heard countless times, when they actually faced it, they realized that it was even more terrifying than the legends said.

"what?"

"what happened?"

"What happened?"

Countless people in Dayu City were awakened from their sleep.

Hearing the screams coming from a distance, everyone trembled with fright, and their faces turned pale.

"Could it be that the Great Zhou army came in?"

"It's over, it's over."

"This is how to do?"

The common people are bewildered and at a loss.

Even in bed, they tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

Tonight is bound to be a sleepless night!

"kill!"

Lu Fan rushed into the barracks, and countless Chu soldiers charged towards him.

He put away the cold iron spear, leaped high, and flew to the roof.

Holding the Piercing Cloud Bow in his hand, Lu Fan put on the arrows, and a series of arrows flew towards the Chu army formation.

"boom!"

Arrows filled with Lu Fan's strength exploded in the crowd, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere, causing countless casualties.

At the same time, countless sharp arrows flew towards Lu Fan from all directions.

Lu Fan's body flew into the air again, dodging in the air, avoiding most of the sharp arrows.

A few arrows fell on him, but they had no effect on him.

Lu Fan fought against the Chu army with a bow and arrow, kept moving his position, and gradually penetrated into the barracks, attracting more Chu soldiers to chase and intercept him.

But he was not in a hurry, and quickly shot more than 100 arrows, put away the bow, took down the cold iron spear, and started to charge back.

"kill!"

The entire barracks was alarmed.

messed up.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Lu Fan didn't stay any longer. He rushed out of the barracks as fast as he could and disappeared into the darkness.

He knew in his heart that after his disturbance, Chu Jun became a frightened bird. Not only could he not be able to sleep tonight, but he might not be able to sleep at night in the future.

Combat power will be greatly reduced.

But the Great Zhou army was recharging their energy and recharging their batteries, only waiting for tomorrow's decisive battle.

The impact on the battle situation can be imagined.

What's more, the Chu army might not have thought that the Great Zhou army would launch a decisive battle tomorrow.

If you respond hastily, you will lose the opportunity.

Lu Fan is more confident about tomorrow's decisive battle.

This battle must be won!

……

……

the next morning.

Lu Fan had breakfast, took a rest, and walked out of the camp.

He was fully dressed, with a bow and arrow on his back, the Kunwu knife hanging on his waist, and a cold iron gun in his hand.

All the soldiers are already ready to go.

"grown ups!"

Tanma came to report, "The front has been checked, and no enemy ambush has been found."

"Okay, you go."

Lu Fan nodded, got on his horse, and shouted, "Let's go!"

"Yes!"

All the soldiers agreed in unison.

The voices were uniform and straight into the sky.

That momentum seemed to pierce the sky.

"drive!"

Lu Fan took the lead and rushed out of the tent.

Ye Wuchen, Gu Cheng, Liu Feng, Xu Mingyang, Zhou Wanjun, Zhao Jin, Sui Meng, Qin Huinan, Gu Changting, and the nine first-rank powerhouses followed closely behind.

It can be said that the people with the highest status and the strongest strength are all at the forefront.

Seeing this scene in the eyes of all the soldiers of the Great Zhou, all blood boiled.

This is something they have never experienced.

Not only them, no one has experienced it at all.

This has never happened since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

All the commanders are charging forward, how can they not fight with their lives?
What could be more exciting than this?
"drive!"

More than 500 Dragon Shadow Guards, as the third echelon, followed closely behind the nine first-rank powerhouses.

Behind them are the [-] Xuanjia Army and the [-] Guards Battalion.

Plus [-] elite cavalry and [-] elite infantry.

Only 2 people remained in the barracks.

It can be said that the whole nest is moving, and the main force is out.

Everyone knows that victory or defeat depends on this battle.

"Boom!"

Thousands of horses are galloping like thunder resounding in everyone's ears.

The whole earth trembled.

Lu Fan, with a black helmet and black armor, holding a cold iron spear, rushed to the front alone.

Behind him is a tide of tens of thousands of cavalry.

Dayu City at this time.

Shi Yan was standing on the tower with a worried expression on his face.

As the commander-in-chief of the Chu army, he has been very uneasy recently.

Especially after going through last night, he had a new understanding of Lu Fan's strength.

Even stronger than the legend.

A man came to Dayu City alone, killed so many people, but left unscathed.

Come and go freely.

Not only harassed the Chu army, but also greatly damaged the morale of the soldiers.

It made them lose face even more.

So hateful!

Shi Yan clenched his fists tightly. If he had the chance, he would kill this person with his own hands to relieve his hatred.

Otherwise, this breath will always be held in his heart, unable to come out.

"Boom!"

The thunderous sound of horseshoes came out from a distance.

coming!

Shi Yan looked in the direction of the sound, and saw countless small black spots moving in the distant wilderness.

Gradually, the small black spots became bigger and bigger.

It turned into tens of thousands of cavalry, sweeping in like a tide.

"Command, prepare to fight!"

Shi Yan's face was stern, and he shouted loudly: "We must completely wipe out the incoming enemy, so that the Zhou army will never come back."

"Yes."
