Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 428 The ignorant is fearless

It would take at least ten days to take a boat from Crescent Port along the coastline to Jingyue Port, then take the land route and go straight to Sencheng.

During this period of time, Lu Hao had no intention of fighting head-on with Juli Khan. After all, the Lu family's army currently did not have enough guns and ammunition. Once a fight started, guns and ammunition would be in short supply. It would be better to wait for the logistics supplies to arrive before starting a war with Juli Khan.

However, in the past few days, Juli Khan must not let Juli Khan discover their shortcomings. Therefore, Lu Hao sent a large number of scouts to roam around Liaoyang City, pretending to collect intelligence and prepare to attack Liaoyang City.

Of course, Gissen City is not idle either. The soldiers are repairing the trebuchets and crossbows left by Juli Khan, and are ready to attack Liaoyang City at any time.

Sure enough, Lu Hao's fake action frightened Juli Khan so much that he not only did not dare to take the initiative, but also sent people back to mobilize troops for reinforcements.

Juli Khan was a little reluctant to give up the fat in his mouth. If he knew the current situation, he should retreat with his men and horses quickly to preserve his strength.

Of course, Lu Hao sent a letter to threaten him and ask him to submit to the Great Yan Empire. This also made Juli Khan feel that he had no face and had to compete head-on with Lu Hao.

Although Gissen City was defeated miserably, he attributed the responsibility to that idiot Prince Yu for not blocking Lu Hao, which allowed Lu Hao to lead his army through the city and caught him off guard.

As for the weapons used by Lu Hao's new army, Juli Khan felt that they were hidden weapons similar to crossbows, but they could be fired continuously.

The ignorant are fearless!
Therefore, Juli Khan also wanted to arm-wrestle with Lu Hao to see who has the stronger fist.

Now, he is huddled in Liaoyang City, hoping to rely on the solid city to block Lu Hao's offensive.

No one thought that behind all this, Lu Hao was just playing tricks to delay time.

The next day, General Li, the defending general of Hessen City, came to meet Lu Hao in person.

Lu Hao received General Li at the city lord's palace, and asked Xuanyuan Lingyu to lead the first main army to station in Heisen City to form a deterrent to Liaoyang City.

General Li is Xue Yue's deputy general and a veteran general who has been on the battlefield for a long time. The defensive layout of the city defense can be said to be watertight.

After Lu Hao arrived in Heisen City, he personally went outside Liaoyang City to survey the terrain and surrounding conditions.

At the same time, Juli Khan's [-] reinforcements marched into Liaoyang City.

With an army of [-], Juli Khan became bolder and sent a message directly to Lu Hao, asking him to fight him to see who would win.

Lu Hao counted the time and told Juli Khan that in three days, he would lead his army to capture Liaoyang City.

In his spare time these days, Lu Hao just used it to practice the soul seal technique he had just learned. He had already understood [-]% to [-]% of the essence, which was enough for soul transmission.

Situ Tianyin can reach Gissen City in two days, and it only takes a few hours from Gissen City to Heisen City.

Therefore, Lu Hao had the courage to accept Juli Khan's challenge.

At the city lord's residence, Lu Hao led a group of generals to receive the special envoy sent by Juli Khan.

A Turkic man who is not very tall and can speak fluently the official language of the Dayan Empire.

"I tell your Juli Khan that I have accepted this battle, but if you want to fight the truth, then let Juli Khan drive the army out of the city to compete with the truth. "

Lu Hao smiled and replied to Juli Khan's special envoy.

"The foreign minister will tell the truth to the Khan."

The envoy bowed slightly.

"Tell Juli Khan that the Prime Minister can still give him a chance to submit. Once the Prime Minister starts to attack the city, he will have no chance."

Lu Hao said coldly.

"Dear Prime Minister, you want the Khan to surrender to you. This is just an idiot talking in his sleep. It is impossible!"

The envoy rejected his offer outright.

"Since you feel that the truth is not a deterrent, then you can only see the truth on the battlefield."

Lu Hao said calmly.

"Farewell!"

The envoy bowed slightly and retreated.

At this time, in the city lord's palace, Xuanyuan Lingyu, Tantai Xiyao, General Sun, General Li and other generals were all present. "Master Prime Minister, I will kill this arrogant guy according to my wishes."

Xuanyuan Lingyu said angrily.

"When two countries are at war, it is a rule not to kill an envoy. Let him live a few more days."

Lu Hao said calmly.

"Master Prime Minister, the last general is asking for a battle to attack Liaoyang City."

General Li stood up.

This time, Lu Hao promoted General Sun, which made him really envious and jealous. Therefore, he also wanted to make some military exploits and get some rewards.

"General Li, you just need to lead the army to defend Heisen City. The siege will be left to the first main force of the Lu Family Army, and we don't have to attack the city..."

Lu Hao smiled evilly, with a cunning arc at the corner of his mouth.

"How can we capture Liaoyang City without attacking the city?"

General Li said in confusion.

"General Li doesn't need to worry about this. The truth has its own arrangements."

Lu Hao smiled mysteriously.

……

On the other side, when Juli Khan heard the news, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to tear Lu Hao in half.

Before, he only had [-] troops, and he was still a little scared. Now that [-] reinforcements have arrived, he naturally doesn't need to be so low-key.

"Lu Hao, you idiot, you still dare to talk nonsense here? If we attacked the city a few days ago, you still had some hope, but now, there is no chance at all."

Juli Khan was extremely angry.

"Yes, we were all worried about being attacked by Lu Hao before, and we were also worried that Lu Hao would cut off our retreat. Now it seems that he is also as timid as a mouse."

The old military advisor laughed loudly.

"General Tuomu, pay close attention to Lu Hao's movements, be prepared for war at any time, notify him, and sleep with his clothes on to prevent Lu Hao from coming to attack..."

Juli Khan issued a series of orders.

"Takumu obeys!"

General Takumu took the order and left.

Juli Khan knew very well that Lu Hao only had 15 to [-] troops now, and he now had [-] troops. If he wanted to attack the city, he would be seeking death.

However, military wizards like Lu Hao had to take precautions. Therefore, General Tuomu sent an order to enter the first level of combat readiness to prevent Lu Hao from sneak attacks.

……

Hurrying quickly, Situ Tianyin finally arrived at Hessen City two days later.

This time, Situ Tianyin brought a dozen cannons, hundreds of rounds of artillery shells, and thousands of explosive packets.

Of course, the most important thing is that they brought 100 million rounds of ammunition, enough for each soldier to receive hundreds of rounds of ammunition.

After these war preparation materials were in place, Lu Hao was also ready to start taking action against Juli Khan.

Early the next morning.

Lu Hao led the first main force of the Lu Family Army to set off, aiming directly at Liaoyang City.

At the same time, the large siege equipment such as trebuchets and crossbows seized from Juli Khan were then transported outside Liaoyang City by General Li and his men.

There are various signs that Lu Hao is about to start attacking the city.
