Are you crazy? Trying to trick him into military service? He's the number one dragon on the fro

"Commander, the Hu people are skilled in riding and archery. If we want to win this battle, we cannot take the initiative to attack. We can only hold our camp and slowly divide and conquer them!"

Zhou Daxing was arguably the elder among those present who knew the customs of the Hu people best.

Therefore, after Lu Xiao finished speaking, he directly stated his thoughts:

"Our White Wolf Camp is surrounded by mountains on both sides. As long as we fortify our defenses and clear the fields before the Hu army arrives, we can prevent them from using the mountains as a route to get around to our rear."

"Therefore, they have no choice but to attack from the front!"

He pointed to the sand table in the center of the crowd and pointed at it:

"We can set up a row of catapults north of the main camp, and at the same time build more arrow towers for a long-range attack."

"The rest is up to the brothers."

Upon hearing this, the others nodded in agreement, indicating that the safest approach at present was similar to what he suggested, and the rest of them couldn't think of any better solutions.

Lu Xiao was fully aware of this. After looking into the distance at the border camps on the east and west sides, he said in a deep voice:

"The allied forces of the Black Sand River tribes are very likely to attack when the Northern Hu royal court launches a major offensive against the borders of our Great Zhou. This is the worst-case scenario, because at that time we will only be able to rely on ourselves, with no other assistance except for the county garrison behind us."

"The garrison troops are also only good at infantry combat, and they can't gain much advantage against the Hu people who are as fast as the wind."

"Therefore, we must devise a plan to create some disturbance in the rear of the Black Sand Alliance forces when they gain the upper hand, forcing them to retreat!"

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned, unable to think of any good solutions.

Seeing that they still didn't understand his meaning, Lu Xiao simply stated it clearly:

"I intend to ask Captain Luo for help, to lead the garrison troops to storm into the rear of the Black Sand Chuo remnants, the Moda tribe, and the Qingwu tribe, turning them into stray dogs!"

This is a method we've used before, but tactics don't have to be new or old, as long as they work!

Huangshan is deeply concerned about this:

"Commander Luo is a skilled military commander. With his assistance, we can indeed solve a major problem, but he has only been in office for a short time."

"The garrison troops, after years of management by Colonel Na Yun, are no longer of much use. If we were to send them to raid the rear of the various Hu tribes, I'm afraid..."

The other elderly people basically shared the same opinion.

The reason why the White Wolf Outpost has been able to persist for so many years is not only due to Luo Yang's tireless efforts, but also because the Hu people have never considered this place as their main attack direction.

Under these circumstances, the garrison in the county town could rest easy.

Even if the White Wolf outpost couldn't hold out, they could simply send out a few hundred or a thousand men to make a show of it and scare the Hu people away.

So they didn't train hard at all!

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao frowned, deeply worried about the fighting strength of the garrison troops.

Time passed slowly, and as everyone's brows furrowed in worry, Luo Yang burst in with a flurry of activity:

"Commander Lu, I've heard that the remnants of the Black Sand Cockroach tribe have joined forces with several other tribes to attack this place?"

After receiving a positive response, he immediately expressed his willingness to send a thousand men from the garrison to provide support.

With two thousand against three thousand, it was absolutely impossible for the Hu people to break through the White Wolf camp.

However, he was greatly surprised when he heard that Lu Xiao planned to send him to lead troops to raid the rear of various units:

"Brother Xiao, you may not know this."

"The reason why the surrounding tribes are wary of Bai Lang is all because of you!"

"In that battle, you fought with great might, you showed the spirit of our Great Zhou, and you frightened the surrounding barbarian tribes so that they dared not easily invade. As for the garrison..."

"To be honest, their chances of winning against an average person are about 50/50 now."

Luo Yang has been struggling with the garrison's combat strength and morale lately, as the problems there have been entrenched for a long time, making rapid change virtually impossible.

"Therefore, the chances of victory for me leading the troops are extremely low."

"But if the garrison troops are swapped with the soldiers that White Wolf promised, I'm afraid the garrison troops won't be able to hold this place before you personally lead the troops to raid the enemy's rear."

After the words were spoken, everyone lowered their heads in silence, feeling a deep sense of frustration at having no way to use their strength.

Everyone knows about the problems with the garrison, and it's not their fault.

The situation was already very critical, but they were caught in a dilemma because the other party was holding them back.

"What if we just let them stay in the nearby safe zone?"

After pondering for a long time, Lu Xiao nodded to the White Wolf camp and the surrounding areas, then leaned over and whispered something in his ear.

After hearing his plan, Luo Yang also fell silent.

After a moment, Luo Yang nodded solemnly:

"If it's just the garrison troops doing these things, there shouldn't be any problem!"

"good!"

Lu Xiao smiled, then looked at everyone:

"Then we will proceed as previously agreed. My White Wolf Camp will be responsible for defense and will do everything in our power to stop the Hu people's iron hooves."

"Brothers, starting this afternoon, I will have the people in the rear gradually move to the city for temporary refuge. If there is no room in the city, hide in the nearby mountains. Just survive this great battle!"

"Now, all commanders, seize the time to make preparations and meet the enemy!"

……

Ten days passed quickly. With the rapid mobilization of both the military and civilians, the White Wolf Mountain camp had become even more formidable in its defenses. The veterans who had been stationed at the outposts were convinced of these achievements and believed that they would be able to hold off the Hu people this time.

Under the influence of this sentiment, the other new recruits who joined later also became more passionate, and their fear almost disappeared without a trace.

They are ready to meet the enemy!

That morning, Shu Lie and the chieftains of the Mo Da and Qing Wu tribes walked at the front, followed by three thousand Hu soldiers!

He was deeply moved by the dramatic changes at the White Wolf Camp, which could no longer be called a mere outpost.

"It seems their strength has increased several times over compared to three months ago."

"Chief Moda, Chief Qingwu, this battle concerns our future. Victory is the only option; defeat is not an option. Therefore, please tell your warriors to fight with utmost determination!"

"Since Lu Xiao dared to take such a risky step as to lead only thirty men to raid my Black Sand Chuo's main camp, he certainly won't sit idly by and wait to die!"

"Underestimating him could very well cost us our lives!"

Upon hearing this, Modal and Qingwupu nodded solemnly.

The latter even patted his chest and guaranteed:

"With the assistance of the three prince's two thousand warriors, we are certain of victory in this battle!"

Upon hearing this, Shu Lie turned and glanced at the two thousand people, a cold smile playing on his lips:

"Then... attack!"

In an instant, eight hundred Hu soldiers broke away from the main force and rushed towards the White Wolf camp at a faster pace. Six hundred of them were the vanguard, charging forward headlong under the protection of leather shields and other protective gear.

The rest of the men fired arrows recklessly, their targets being the Zhou soldiers peeking out from the watchtower ahead!

In an instant, the battle entered its most brutal phase!
