Many children bring happiness, starting from marrying a wife and starting to dominate the world

The barbarians are rushing to Yancheng as fast as possible, and Daxia's 70,000 army is also marching at the fastest speed. The two sides seem to be racing against time.

However, from the grassland to Yancheng, there is an endless plain. No matter how fast Lin Xiuming and the others are, they cannot catch up with the barbarian cavalry.

Within a few days, the barbarian army of 300,000 troops had approached the Wanning River Valley.

Early in the morning.

Lu Chen got up in the warm fragrance of Bai Qingqing's soft jade. Bai Qingqing took the initiative to dress Lu Chen. Now Bai Qingqing has changed from the cold lady before to a cold young woman.

She has completely assumed the role of the maid of the first wife, and does her best to take care of Lu Chen's food and daily life every day.

As soon as Lu Chen got dressed and left the room, a female guard hurriedly came to Lu Chen and said: "Your Majesty, urgent report from the front, the barbarians have arrived in the Wanning Valley!

Hearing this, Lu Chen was a little surprised and said: "So fast?"

The arrival time of the barbarians was obviously much earlier than the information obtained by Lu Chen and others, but it was not a big problem, after all, they were already prepared.

Lu Chen suddenly felt that the blood in his body was boiling at the thought of an imminent fight to the death with the barbarians.

Although he has killed people and seen killing scenes, he has never seen what a real battlefield looks like.

Lu Chen quickly headed to Yancheng Tower without even eating breakfast.

At this time, Mu Changtian had led 30,000 soldiers and was ready for battle. Mu Xingping also led the artillery battalion to ambush on both sides of the Wanning Valley. The black cavalry also moved, and everything was waiting for the barbarian cavalry. Enter the Wanning River Valley.

At this time, the scout soldiers from the front came to Lu Chen and said, "Your Majesty, the barbarian army did not enter the Wanning River Valley immediately. Instead, they camped on the grassland outside the Wanning River Valley."

Hearing this, the soldiers on the tower suddenly became nervous.

They couldn't help but wonder if the barbarian cavalry had discovered something, or their deployment had been leaked.

If that's the case, that's trouble.

At that time, not only might the barbarian cavalry be unable to be eaten, but the artillery battalions ambushed on both sides of the Wanning River Valley would be captured by the barbarian soldiers.

If a powerful weapon like a howitzer falls into the hands of the barbarians, Yancheng will be defeated in one attack and will be completely defenseless.

Mu Changtian said at this time: "Your Majesty, why don't I lead the troops out of the city to lure the barbarians into the Wanning Valley?"

After hearing Mu Changtian's suggestion, Lu Chen did not reply immediately. He thought for a while and then asked the scouting soldiers, "When did the barbarian army arrive outside the Wanning Valley?"

The scouting soldier replied: "This morning."

After hearing this, Lu Chen immediately said: "Immediately ask the artillery battalion soldiers on both sides of the Wanning Valley to hide and not show their heads until the barbarian army enters the Wanning Valley.

"Besides, we don't have to worry. The barbarian soldiers only arrived this morning. Most likely they traveled all night last night and are now setting up camp to rest."

"Just let the frontline reconnaissance soldiers pay attention to their movements. If the barbarians send soldiers to reconnoiter, let them enter the Wanning Valley and ignore them."

The scout soldier who reported the report immediately said: "Yes, Your Majesty."

"My subordinates resign."

After the soldiers left, Mu Changtian said again: "Your Majesty, the barbarians should be ready to attack Yancheng for a long time."

"Otherwise they would not camp outside the Wanning River Valley, but would choose to enter the Wanning River Valley directly."

Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "It seems that Xiao Hongbo is not a fool. He knows that Yancheng is not easy to fight."

If Xiao Hongbo really thought that the first wave of attacks on Yancheng could be defeated, then why would they camp and take a short rest before sending the army directly into the Wanning Valley.

After taking Yancheng, wouldn't it be better to rest in Yancheng?

The barbarians stationed their camps outside the Wanning Valley. On the one hand, it proved that the barbarians were prepared for the terrain of the Wanning Valley. On the other hand, it showed that the barbarians did not think they could capture Yancheng today.

At this moment, another scout soldier from the front line came back.

"Your Majesty, the barbarians have sent a reconnaissance cavalry. That cavalry has entered the Wanning River Valley and is heading straight for Yancheng."

Lu Chen asked: "How many people are there?"

The soldier replied: "Only a few dozen people."

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Ignore it and continue to monitor."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

…

Outside the Wanning River Valley.

Xiao Pengtian stood by the river. He looked at the terrain of Wanning Valley and felt a serious sense of crisis.

Originally, Xiao Hongbo planned to lead an army of 300,000 people directly into the Wanning Valley, then attack Yancheng, and capture Yancheng before noon.

However, Xiao Pengtian persuaded him in every possible way, saying that the soldiers had been traveling all night and were exhausted and needed to rest. Later, he moved out the princess, which finally persuaded Xiao Hongbo, so they camped outside the Wanning Valley to rest.

Xiao Pengtian knew very well that Xiao Hongbo was already seriously dissatisfied with him. When he went south to attack Beijun, he said a lot of things that Xiao Hongbo didn't want to hear, and even used the name of the princess several times.

In fact, Xiao Hongbo has been dissatisfied with him for a long time. When they were still in the Sirius King tribe, Xiao Hongbo and him had already developed a estrangement, because the strength of the two of them was relatively close. Xiao Pengtian competed with Xiao Hongbo for the Heavenly Wolf. The king's biggest rival for the throne.

However, under the mediation of the princess, the elders of the Sirius King tribe finally gave the throne to Xiao Hongbo.

Although Xiao Hongbo has become the Sirius King, there is a person around him who always threatens his throne. Xiao Hongbo still feels uncomfortable after all.

Xiao Pengtian is not a fool, of course he can see that Xiao Hongbo is disgusted with him, but in order for the Sirius King tribe to attack Beijun without any problems this time, he must come out and say a few words.

Regarding the terrain of the Wanning River Valley, if their 300,000-strong army rushed in directly, and if they could not capture Yancheng and the Daxia army came from behind and outflanked them, they would all be trapped in the Wanning River Valley.

At this moment, a servant from Wu Yuan's caravan came to Xiao Pengtian and said, "General Xiao, do you have anything to do with me?"

This time they went south, taking Wu Yuan's caravan with them. After all, the looted treasures needed someone to transport them, so they could just use Wu Yuan's caravan.

Xiao Pengtian asked: "Have your caravan inquired about the movements of the Daxia court, for example, have they sent an army to Beijun to support them?"

The servants of Wu Yuan's caravan immediately said: "Yes, General, the imperial court has sent an army of 70,000 to support the King of the North."

Hearing this, Xiao Pengtian couldn't help but wonder, could it be that he was overthinking?

Only 70,000 troops?

These 70,000 troops are most likely to help the Northern King guard Yancheng. They will not take the initiative to attack, and it is even less likely to outflank them from behind.

If the barbarian cavalry charges, the 70,000-strong army will be dispersed in an instant. When the outflanking fails, the 70,000 soldiers will end up dying instead.

At this moment, a barbarian soldier came to Xiao Pengtian on horseback and said, "General, the king wants you to come over."
