Guarding the border: I am sanctified in the flesh

Chapter 137 Captured Dayu City and gained a lot
Lu Fan rushed to the front alone, and gradually distanced himself from the people behind him.

"Shhhhhh!"

Thousands of arrows were fired, and a rain of arrows flew towards Lu Fan.

Densely packed, obscuring the sky.

Even the sky became extremely dark.

It is like a black cloud pressing down on the top, bringing people a great sense of oppression.

"Shh!"

The black knife light suddenly lit up, instantly illuminating the sky.

Like a bolt of lightning, flashing across the air.

The next moment, the rain of arrows all over the sky disappeared.

As if nothing had happened.

Seeing this scene, the defenders on the city wall were stunned, even frightened.

They have never seen such a terrible person.

With a wave of his hand, the rain of arrows all over the sky disappeared without a trace.

What power is this?
How is it possible?
Are they still human?

At this moment, they thought of a person.

Lu Fan!

Thinking of what happened last night, their hearts became uneasy.

Shi Yan on the tower instantly changed his face.

He was far away last night and didn't see Lu Fan's attack clearly, but when he saw it today, he was shocked to find that Lu Fan was stronger than he imagined.

And much stronger than him.

Just that hand just now made him feel terrified.

He knows his own strength, it is absolutely impossible to do it.

But Lu Fan just waved his hand and did it.

What kind of knife is this?
Except for Lu Fan, no one knows that this is actually not a sword technique, but a sword technique.

Star Sword Art.

Lu Fan used a saber as a sword, transformed the sword into a saber, and slashed out.

It was completely different from the reaction of the defenders of Dayu City. The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty behind Lu Fan saw this scene and felt their blood boiled with pride, as if they had inexhaustible strength.

too strong.

With such a commander rushing to the forefront, how can they lag behind?
"kill!"

The shouts of killing were uniform, resounding through the world, with an indomitable momentum.

It made the guards on the city wall even more uneasy.

At this time, Lu Fan had rushed to the city, and the Kunwu knife in his hand was cut out again.

Little stars twinkle in the sky.

In the next moment, countless stars were sprinkled down at the same time.

Hundreds of Chu soldiers died before they could even scream.

Lu Fan cut again.

"boom!"

The city gate was torn apart and fell down.

Teams of Chu soldiers were already waiting inside the city gate, the steel knives in their hands gleaming with dazzling light.

Countless saber qi condensed and merged into a powerful saber intent, slashing towards Lu Fan.

Lu Fan didn't dodge, and swung his knife again to slash, and the endless momentum of the knife rushed out, sweeping away like a huge tumbling wave.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang, followed by screams.

The frontmost sword array disintegrated instantly, and hundreds of Chu soldiers fell to the ground.

Lu Fan soared into the sky, flew over the city wall in an instant, and came to the sky above Dayu City.

While falling, the Kunwu knife in his hand slashed again.

The dazzling knife light was like pieces of starlight falling down.

"boom!"

Countless Chu soldiers were crushed by the starlight, and several sword formations were instantly broken.

After landing, Lu Fan rushed into the crowd.

He has put away the Kunwu knife and holds the gun in his hand.

As the blossoming spears rose, hundreds of Chu soldiers fell to the ground in an instant.

"Boom!"

The Zhou cavalry rushed into Dayu City, raising their knives and dropping them, harvesting lives non-stop.

Lu Fan didn't stay any longer, jumped onto the city wall, and then came to the top of the city tower.

He had just noticed someone up there.

If I guessed correctly, it should be Shi Yan, the commander of the Chu army.

At this time, Shi Yan was still in a daze.

He never expected that in just a short while, Dayu City had been broken, and those battle formations were instantly destroyed like paper.

He didn't have time to react at all.

And all of this is because of Lu Fan.

He was in a daze when he suddenly felt that the danger was approaching and turned around suddenly, only to see that there was another person in front of him.

The young man in black helmet and armor had an unusually stern face, as if he had no emotion at all.

"Lu Fan?"

Shi Yan recognized the person in front of him at a glance, exactly as in the legend.

He knew that he couldn't run away, but he was much calmer.

Ugh!
With a secret sigh in his heart, Shi Yan slowly drew out his sword and pointed it at Lu Fan.

Knowing that he is invincible, he wants to fight.

It's not that he is not afraid of death, but because, as long as he thinks about running away, he will die faster.

Lu Fan didn't speak, but approached step by step.

The slight sound of footsteps, like stepping on a stone core, made his heart tremble.

"Go to hell!"

Shi Yan yelled loudly, the sword light suddenly surged, and endless sword energy rolled out, converging into thousands of sword intents, and finally turned into a powerful sword force, cutting down on Lu Fan's head.

Lu Fan stabbed out casually.

The powerful sword force disappeared immediately.

Silently.

The next moment, the cold iron spear pierced Shi Yan's body.

Shi Yan was stunned, his face full of astonishment.

He never imagined that Lu Fan was so strong.

With a random shot, he broke him with a full blow.

And unscathed.

He didn't even touch the corner of the opponent's clothes.

Who in the Chu Kingdom can stop this strength?

Just as Shi Yan was thinking, the bone-piercing chill hit him, making his soul tremble.

"boom!"

The violent power exploded in his body, his body flew upside down, and fell heavily under the city wall.

Seeing this scene, the guards of the state of Chu on the city wall were frightened out of their wits.

The high commanding lords are all dead, what are they?
run!

They shouted in their hearts, took out the fastest speed, and ran as far as they could.

The Great Yu City and the Chu State were all thrown aside by them.

Let's survive first.

Countless people joined the fleeing team, and the Chu army began to be defeated.

"kill!"

However, the Zhou army became more and more courageous as they fought, and they fought vigorously.

It was not until noon that the shouts of killing in the city gradually subsided.

At this time, Xu Zhao led [-] infantry to the city of Dayu.

Lu Fan deliberately waited for him outside the city.

"I met Mr. Lu."

Xu Zhao stepped forward to salute. Although he had not yet entered the city, he could roughly guess the current situation of the battle. It must be that the Zhou army won a complete victory and the Chu army was defeated and fled.

"You lead the infantry and continue to clear the Chu army in the city, and I will lead the cavalry to chase them out of the city."

Lu Fan instructed: "Let the remaining troops rush to Dayu City quickly, rest here, and take over all the property of the Chu army."

"Yes."

Xu Zhao said yes loudly.

"Others, follow me out of the city to hunt down!"

After Lu Fan finished speaking, he turned his horse's head and galloped away.

"Yes."

All the soldiers followed closely behind.

The thunderous sound of horseshoes sounded again, and the Dazhou cavalry drove out of Dayu City like a whirlwind, and launched a chase outside the city.

The battle lasted until evening.

When Lu Fan led his army back to Dayu City, it was already dark.

Arriving at the original Chu army barracks, all the soldiers were settled, and Lu Fan entered the commander's mansion.

Ye Wuchen, Gu Cheng, Liu Feng, Xu Mingyang, Zhou Wanjun, Zhao Jin, Sui Meng, Qin Huinan, Gu Changan, nine people followed behind Lu Fan, and the excitement on their faces had not dissipated.

"This battle was fought happily!"

"Too relieved!"

"Ha ha!"

Everyone talked and laughed loudly, and laughed a few times from time to time.

Even they lost their composure at this time.

After all, this battle is too important.

Not only did they win, but they won heartily.

After this battle, the state of Chu may no longer be able to threaten the Great Zhou.

"My lords."

Xu Zhao greeted you with a smile, "Your accommodations are all arranged, hurry up and change your clothes, the celebration banquet is about to begin."

"it is good."

Under Xu Zhao's guidance, Lu Fan came to a room.

Everything in his tent was moved here.

After taking a cold shower, Lu Fan changed into clean clothes and went to the dining room.

The food and wine had already been served on the dining table, and all the generals came together, sitting around the table, eagerly waiting for the celebration banquet to begin.

Seeing Lu Fan, all the generals got up together, "Lord Lu, please sit down."

Everyone looked at Lu Fan with respect.

After this battle, they were completely convinced by Lu Fan.

At the same time, he has more confidence in Lu Fan.

They firmly believe that as long as Lu Fan is around, there is no battle that cannot be won.

It is bound to take Chu State in one go.

Then he returned to rescue the capital, defeated the Qin and Qi allied forces, and completely restored the situation.

"Everyone sit down."

Seeing that all the generals were waiting for him, Lu Fan smiled and signaled.

"it is good."

The generals nodded, but they still waited for Lu Fan to sit down before they sat down.

In their hearts, Lu Fan has been regarded as the commander in chief.

Even more respect than the commander in chief.

"bring it on."

Lu Fan raised the wine glass first, "Let's have a drink together first, everyone has worked hard!"

"it is good!"

"cheers!"

All the generals raised their glasses one after another and drank the wine in their glasses.

Putting down the wine glass and taking a few mouthfuls of food, Xu Mingyang suggested: "Everyone, let's toast Mr. Lu a glass of wine together. If there is no Mr. Lu, let's not talk about drinking here. I'm afraid we don't know if we can live."

"Yes."

"As it should be."

"Lord Lu, I respect you."

Everyone stood up together and toasted Lu Fan.

"I respect you all!"

Lu Fan also stood up and said with a smile, "It is thanks to all of us that we can win this battle. I am very grateful and honored that you all can work together to help me."

"I hope that we will continue to work hard in the future and win consecutive battles!"

"Strive to conquer Chu State as soon as possible."

While speaking, Lu Fan brought the wine glass to his lips, "I'll do it first as a respect."

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

All the generals raised their glasses in response.

The celebration feast lasted a long time.

During the banquet, everyone took turns to toast to Lu Fan, and he never refused to come.

The long-standing pressure was released at this moment.

Then take the opportunity to drink to your heart's content!

Everywhere in the barracks was talking about today's battle.

"Today's battle was really enjoyable."

"Yeah, it's really fun."

"Ever since I joined Master Lu Fan, I have never lost a battle."

"Master Lu is still amazing."

"Without him, we'd probably be over."

"That's not true! Master Lu is the God of War in our Great Zhou!"

"Following Mr. Lu is the right person."

……

……

The next day, in the morning.

After breakfast, Lu Fan meditated in his room.

Today he did not send troops, but let the soldiers rest for a day.

"Boom boom boom!"

There was a knock on the door, followed by Xu Zhao's voice, "Lord Lu, I'm asking Xu Zhao to see you."

"come in."

"Yes."

After Xu Zhao came in, he closed the door casually.

"The result is out?"

Lu Fan glanced at the paper in Xu Zhao's hand and asked.

"Yes."

Xu Zhao responded, "All the belongings have been counted, and the casualties of the Chu army have also been roughly estimated."

"You sit."

Lu Fan took the paper from Xu Zhao's hand, and looked through it carefully.

I saw it read: 50 taels of gold.

8000 million taels of silver.

Twenty thousand war horses.

[-] shi of various grains.

There are a total of [-] livestock such as cattle, sheep and pigs.

Some poultry.

One hundred thousand pieces of various weapons.

500 million arrows.

Twenty thousand sets of armor.

There are more than 5000 copies of various exercises and martial arts.

Among them, there are fifty copies of the ninth-level exercises.

There are one hundred copies of the eighth-level exercises.

There are two hundred copies of the seventh-level exercises.

Three hundred volumes of sixth-level exercises.

……

Seeing this, Lu Fan was overjoyed.

Such a harvest gave him an extra surprise.

It seems that it was because the Chu army was defeated so quickly that they didn't have time to take the things away.

Didn't even bother to destroy it.

This allowed them to pick up a big deal.

It will be difficult to get such a harvest in the future.

Unless the capital of Chu State is broken.

There must be more treasures in the palace.

Thinking of this, Lu Fan continued to look down.

A total of more than 12 enemies were wiped out in this battle.

Shi Yan, the commander-in-chief of Chu State, was killed on the spot.

Another four first-rank masters died in battle.

Other masters suffered countless casualties.

"it is good!"

Lu Fan stopped looking down, this victory was enough to make him feel excited.

"You write a battle report and send someone back to Zhennan Pass, so that Lord Zhao can rest assured."

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Xu Zhao agreed, and was about to get up, but was stopped by Lu Fan, "Don't worry, I have something to tell you."

"Sir, please speak."

"The first game went so well, I want to implement the next plan."

Lu Fan pondered for a while, and said, "In order to reach the capital of Chu State as soon as possible, I want to take only the cavalry, and you lead the infantry to stay in Dayu City and guard this retreat for me."

"Yes."

Xu Zhao agreed, but he still had doubts, "But, won't the supply troops go with you? You have to eat, right?"

"I will bring some people."

Lu Fan had already thought about it, "However, they all ride horses, so they don't need to carry too many things."

"Usually the soldiers carry dry food and clean water with them, and they don't cook with fire when marching."

"Only when you arrive at a certain city, have a good meal and replenish dry food and water by the way."

"In this way, it can be done as quickly as possible."

Speaking of this, Lu Fan smiled, "This is to support war with war."

"Fight for war?"

Xu Zhao understood, "In this way, we can reach the capital of Chu State as quickly as possible, without giving the Chu army any time to react. It is even difficult for the Chu army along the way to counterattack decently, and they will be defeated one by one by us."

"If we are faster, it is very likely that the news will arrive in advance before the news reaches the capital of Chu State."

"Let the Chu army there be unprepared and caught off guard."

Speaking of this, Xu Zhao couldn't help sighing, "My lord, you still have courage and can always make unexpected decisions."

"That's not so."

Lu Fan said with a smile: "No matter how fast we are, it's impossible for us to spread the news faster than the Chu army. However, they will indeed be caught off guard and don't have much time to prepare."

"This will cause the Chu army to panic."

"Let their combat power be greatly reduced."

"It will even induce their internal conflicts and make them lose their positions."

Lu Fan looked confident, "Our odds of winning will be greater."

"Yes."

Xu Zhao agreed very much, and asked, "What other arrangements do you have for my side?"

"You come and see."

Lu Fan took out a map and spread it on the table, "I will take the shortest road to the capital of Chu, and you will be responsible for leading the troops to clear the nearby Chu soldiers and take down all the surrounding cities. "

"it is good."

Xu Zhao nodded, "My lord, please don't worry, I will wipe out all the remnants of Chu's defeated generals, and will not give them a chance to join forces and grow stronger."

"Well, your task is also very heavy."

Lu Fan pointed to the map and said, "The east is Yue, and the west is Shu. Under normal circumstances, they should take down the two border cities of Chu, and then follow these two routes in two directions, east and west. move forward."

"You leave the cities around these two routes to them."

"Let them gnaw on their own."

"We don't have to clear the way for them."

After a short pause, Lu Fan continued: "After all, these two countries have ulterior motives, and they asked us for peace because of the situation. You still have to be careful when dealing with them."

"Your Majesty understands."

Xu Zhao thought for a while and said, "As long as the news of Dayu City being breached gets out, even if Shuyue and Yue are harboring ulterior motives, they may change their minds and attack Chu with all their strength, and take the opportunity to seize the territory."

"Yes."

Lu Fan laughed and said, "The faster we move, the more anxious the Shu and Yue countries will be. They must also want to attack the city and take a few more cities."

"No matter what their purpose is, at least they will involve the troops of Chu State."

Xu Zhao continued, "This will allow us to face the Chu army more easily."

"exactly."

Lu Fan suddenly remembered something and said, "The reason why I asked you to stay in Dayu City is to prevent Shuyue and Yue from rebelling against you. You still have an important task."

"Keep in touch with Zhennanguan, and always pay attention to the news there."

"If Zhennanguan is in trouble, you must send troops back in time to help."

"If Dayu City is in danger, you can also ask Zhennanguan for help."

"In short, I leave it to you here."

While talking, Lu Fan glanced at Xu Zhao, "You must help me defend Dayu City, and you must help me defend Zhennan Pass!"

"Yes."

Xu Zhao's face turned serious, and he replied loudly: "Please rest assured, my lord, I will definitely fulfill my mission as an official."

"One more thing."

Lu Fan said: "I will reward all the captured exercises to the soldiers according to their merits, including gold and silver, and they will be rewarded according to their merits."

"You can choose two ninth-level exercises, and use this time to practice hard."

Lu Fan instructed: "During the stay, you let the soldiers of Dayu City also work hard to improve their strength as soon as possible to cope with the future war."

"Thank you sir!"

With gratitude on his face, Xu Zhao saluted Lu Fan respectfully.

He never imagined that one day he would also be able to possess a ninth-order cultivation method.

And there are two copies at once.

There is no doubt that this is all due to Lu Fan.

If he hadn't met Lu Fan, he wouldn't have had such an opportunity at all.

It is even more impossible to have the current status.

As long as he can follow Lu Fan all the time, he can imagine his future.

Unlimited!
"Okay, let's go."

Lu Fan was very aware of Xu Zhao's gratitude to him, and even more aware of Xu Zhao's loyalty to him.

With such subordinates, he will naturally cultivate them vigorously.

Not only Xu Zhao, but also Qin Yu, Song Yu, Meng Ran, Cao Ning, etc., all the dragon shadow guards, even Ye Wuchen, will be his direct descendants in the future.

He will give corresponding care and benefits.

"Yes."

Xu Zhao saluted again before bowing and leaving.

……

……

The next day, early in the morning.

Lu Fan led the cavalry to leave Dayu City.

He took almost 6 people with him.

There are more than 6 people left, staying in Dayu City, facing the defenders of Zhennan Pass across the mountain, echoing each other from a distance.

It can not only leave a retreat for the other party, but also support each other.

There is an extra guarantee for each other.

"drive!"

Sixty thousand Zhou cavalry left Dayu City.

Lu Fan took all the nine first-rank masters away to ensure the combat effectiveness of the team as much as possible.

It can be said that the elite of the three frontier armies are here.

Even the accompanying Huotou army is not weak.

days thereafter.

Lu Fan led his army all the way to the south, and wherever he went, he was devastated and encountered almost no decent resistance.

It took only three days to advance five hundred miles.

It is less than a thousand miles away from the capital of Great Zhou and the capital of Chu.

According to the current advance speed, it will take less than ten days to reach the capital of Chu State.

It will be a big battle.

Zhennan Pass, Commander's Mansion.

Zhao Fei was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed.

He seemed calm, but he was actually very disturbed.

I wonder what happened to Lu Fan?

Has Dayu City been taken?
How about casualties?

Did the Shu and Yue countries send troops as agreed?
He was eagerly waiting for news from Dayu City, and the more time passed, the more anxious he became.

My heart is always hanging, very tormented.

"grown ups."

A young soldier hurried in, holding a letter in his hand, and shouted loudly, "Da Yucheng battle report!"

"Bring it to me quickly."

Zhao Fei stood up abruptly, without waiting for the soldiers to come, he took the initiative to meet him, grabbed the letter, opened it impatiently, opened the letter, and immediately relaxed his frown.

Won!

After only reading the first few sentences, Zhao Fei let go of his hanging heart.

Suppressing the joy in his heart, he continued to look down.

After reading it in one breath, he could no longer restrain the ecstasy in his heart, and shouted, "Okay!"

"Great!"

"Lu Fan, Lu Fan, I did not misread you."

"You really deserve to be the military god of my Great Zhou!"

Zhao Fei managed to calm down, heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that this is great news, he must find a way to let the emperor know.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the soldiers who were stunned on the spot, and shouted: "Go and call Zhao Wu to me, and tell him that I have something important to ask him."

"Yes."

The soldier came back to his senses and left quickly.

He has never seen Zhao Fei lose his composure like this, and he has never seen Zhao Fei praise someone so much.

Mr. Lu, you are really amazing!
To make the Commander-in-Chief praise you so much.

Zhao Fei sat down again, took the battle report, and read it several times, still reluctant to put it down.

It's like holding a rare treasure.

Not long after.

Zhao Wu knocked on the door and came in, "My lord, you are looking for me."

"Look at this."

Zhao Fei handed the battle report in his hand to Zhao Wu.

"it is good."

Zhao Wu received the battle report, glanced at it a few times, and exclaimed, "Okay! Great! Lu Fan really did it!"

"He was still your soldier back then."

Zhao Fei felt a little touched, "Now it is far ahead of you and me."

"Yes."

Zhao Wu recalled that when he first met Lu Fan, he felt that this young man was very unusual.

Unexpectedly, it can grow to where it is today.

Even he has followed suit, from the head of the Spearman Battalion to the current Dutong.

"We are brothers in the same family, I can only leave this matter to you."

Zhao Fei said solemnly: "You go to the capital, hand over this battle report to the emperor in person, and explain the situation on our side to the emperor carefully."

"Yes."

Zhao Wu responded loudly.

"As far as I know, the road to the capital has been blocked."

Zhao Fei sighed: "You can only take the mountain road, I would rather go a little further, even if you arrive at the capital later, it doesn't matter, as long as you can get there."

"When you arrive in the capital, you go around the north gate and enter the city."

"No matter who asks you, don't tell, only tell the emperor."

Zhao Fei instructed: "Remember to arrive safely."

"Yes."
