I, Liu Bang, the Han Dynasty succubus

Although Lu Chan was worried, what Zhen Xiaoman said was right... Let alone ten days, under normal circumstances, even a hundred days would be impossible to clearly understand the terrain in a completely unfamiliar place.

"I worry too much. I will obey the King of Wei in everything."

"Before we set off, we have more important things to do." Xiao Man looked mysterious.

Lu Chan looked puzzled.

Soon, she knew what it was.

The next day, a messenger came to Zhen Xiaoman's camp and conveyed the governor's order: "You will set out within ten days. The governor has already contacted Darius. You can go straight to the checkpoint. When you arrive at the place, just monitor it and don't participate in the battle."

"Yes," Xiao Man said respectfully, "but General, we are short of food and fodder. We only have 20 days left."

The messenger snorted, "What do you need so much food for? You are going to monitor, not to participate in the war."

Lu Chan didn't know about other things, but she knew all too well about the food and grass. It would take ten days to walk from here to Darius' camp, and another ten days to come back, which meant that they were just going on a trip and didn't even have the right to be independent.

She called out, "Messenger, this amount of food is not enough."

"What's not enough? What else do you want to do?" Although Zhang Song was stupid and incompetent, he had some means to control the general and refused to give him even an extra ounce of food.

Xiao Man smiled and said, "Messenger, what do you think...can I do this?" After saying that, he waved his hand.

The messenger saw that Xiao Mansheng was pretty and weak, and subconsciously moved closer.

The next moment...there was a "pu" sound and the dagger entered the body.

When he looked up again, he saw Zhen Xiaoman's extremely cold eyes.

"How...how dare you?"

Lu Chan was also shocked. "King Wei, why is this happening?"

Xiao Man snorted coldly, "This world is so big, how can a mere Zhang Song order me around? Since you have decided to be independent, you might as well grab more capital. I have already inquired about it. This guy is coming with a hundred cavalrymen. Let's go... follow me to keep them."

cavalry?

The cavalry are the elite among the elite, and one hundred cavalry are enough to do a lot of things.

But... these cavalrymen are not pushovers. Two of their lieutenants started making a fuss on the spot. What could be the consequences?

Lu Chan raised his knife and slashed it down, solving the problem in two strokes.

So, Zhen Xiaoman now has a thousand elite infantrymen, a hundred cavalrymen, and twenty days of food.

This is already a considerable force.

"Wen Hou, our retreat is cut off. We must succeed on this mission. Otherwise... you and I will be killed."

Lu Chan was still a little hesitant, and reluctantly said, "Why don't the King of Wei take some safe measures?"

Zhen Xiaoman raised his head and laughed, which made Lu Chan feel uneasy. "May I ask Lord Wen, in your last life, you always wanted to be safe, but how safe did you get in the end?"

Lu Chan choked.

Xiao Man narrowed his eyes and said, "A real man born in this world, how can he be depressed and inferior to others for a long time? If we want to be safe, how can we compete with those who are born into the royal family? For you and me, the best way is to go all out."

Lu Chan bowed deeply.

The two men set off immediately. It had rained a few days ago, which cleaned up all traces, and the two men did not notice anything unusual.

The river water has risen a lot. It was barely up to the waist before, but now it is up to the chest. Crossing the river is now more dangerous than before.

But they had no other choice but to force their way across.

Ji Yu and Long Ju might be able to build a raft with only a hundred people, but Zhen Xiaoman brought a total of 1,100 people, and they couldn't do it.

Xiao Man led the cavalry in front, and Lu Chan led the infantry behind.

Normally, Lu Chan should have led the cavalry... However, Zhen Xiaoman was a suspicious person by nature. She had just betrayed the prefect and was worried... that Lu Chan would do the same to her. What if Lu Chan landed first and then turned around to attack her... then she would be doomed to fail.

At that time, all the soldiers that were hard-earned will have to be handed over.

Therefore, Xiao Man, who was not very good at charging into battle, had to lead the cavalry in front.

Everything went smoothly. The shore was quiet and empty, and Xiao Man landed safely.

So, Lu Chan led the large group into the water... However, just when she was halfway across the river, she suddenly heard a whooshing sound...

Countless arrows flew straight over and hit the soldiers crossing the river.

"Enemy attack!"

The scout yelled at the top of his lungs.

Zhen Xiaoman's face changed... There was an ambush! The enemy deliberately let her come first, waiting for the main force to cross the river before launching a surprise attack.

Lu Chan was already panicking inside, and yelled, "King Wei, save me! King Wei, save me!"

Xiao Man subconsciously jumped on his horse and was about to escape immediately. Winning the battle was not important; the most important thing was whether he could survive.

Lü Chan shouted at the back, "The King of Wei is extremely intelligent, how could he bear to abandon his general? Although I am useless, I still have the ability to charge into battle for the King of Wei."

Zhen Xiaoman looked at the arrows being shot from a distance, then looked at Lu Chan struggling in the water, and said to the person beside him, "You, go to the left to investigate. You, go to the right to investigate. Come back when you see anyone. Don't fight."

"Yes!"

The two knights galloped away.

Xiao Man stood there like an ant on a hot pan. The one thousand soldiers in the water were her capital and she must not lose them.

But the current situation is too dangerous. If she doesn't leave quickly...she might even lose her life.

Soon, the two cavalrymen returned.

"General, the right side is full of enemy soldiers, about 2000 of them."

what?

Xiao Man's face turned pale instantly.

She had only a little over a thousand men, while the other side had two thousand... and they took advantage of the river crossing to attack. There was no way to defeat her. The other side obviously knew that they were going to cross the river and set an ambush here on purpose.

Another knight said, "General, I walked for a long time on the left side before I found a tent... I saw that there were only some old people, women and children inside."

Zhen Xiaoman's eyes lit up.

Volume 062: Be quick

Originally he thought he was hopeless and could only run away, but now Xiao Man found a glimmer of possibility of victory.

Darius was defeated by Alexander and fled here with his entire country. In other words, he had not only soldiers but also the elderly and weak.

What's going on with the old and weak people next to these two thousand soldiers?

Those are their families...They followed Darius to the war with their wives and children.

Soon...a battle plan formed in Zhen Xiaoman's mind.

She pointed at a deputy general and said, "You stay here and don't go anywhere. When the soldiers come to attack, just block them."

"As ordered!"

She said to another deputy general, "The rest, follow me!"

After that, she led half of her cavalry and rushed to the left. Xiao Man's plan was simple. She wanted to kill the old and weak, the women and children. Didn't you attack my army halfway across the river? Then I will attack you directly and kill your lair. I'll see if you can save us.

The cavalry moved very quickly and arrived at the tent where the women and children were in a short while.

But... there are still troops guarding this place, and... they also occupy the terrain.

Xiao Man turned around and said, "Soldiers, there is a road ahead of us and a river behind us. If we stay here, we will surely die. If we want to live... we have to capture this place! Come... follow me!"

She was a weak and submissive woman, holding a sword... and rushed forward first.

Then there was a "puff" sound, and the arrow went straight through the body.

Xiao Man gritted his teeth and pulled out his sword, "Kill them if you want to live!"

The knights had no good impression of her at first, but when they saw how weak and brave she was, they immediately became ferocious and rushed forward together.

Xiao Man’s fighting skills were not very strong...As soon as they met, he was beheaded by someone with a knife.

Fortunately...she was a woman with a lot of hair, so the knife only barely grazed her scalp and messed up her bun.

She gritted her teeth and yelled, "Kill! If you want to live, kill those who don't want to die!"

The cavalry fought with the infantry guarding the camp. Although there were not many guards here, there were still two hundred of them, and Xiao Man brought fifty cavalrymen.

This is not that difficult.

The most worrying thing is that not long after the fight started, someone sent a message saying, "General, the people behind us can't hold on any longer! The other side has sent people rushing over, let's go...if we don't leave now, we will be surrounded and killed."

When Zhen Xiaoman heard this, his face turned pale and he was furious...

If she was double-teamed, not only would she not be able to save Lu Chan, she herself would also be implicated.

She thought about it, gritted her teeth and said, "Call me when they are 500 steps away!"

The knight galloped away.

She yelled, "Soldiers, if you don't fight for your lives, we will all die here!"

She struggled forward...then, she was hit by a knife and almost fell down.

The woman also became ferocious, picked up the knife and stabbed again without hesitation. The infantry on the opposite side grabbed her hair and pulled it hard, and shouted, "Why are you out here as a woman instead of staying at home to serve your man?"

Xiao Manjiao smiled and said, "Then I will serve you, okay?"

While the soldier was stunned, Xiao Man stabbed him with a knife.

She also wanted to charge into battle...but she simply didn't have the strength, and it was good enough that she could protect herself on the battlefield.

"General, five hundred steps!"

"Call me when you reach 400 steps!" Xiao Man shouted.

Seeing the battle getting intense, she gritted her teeth and said, "Attack with fire! Attack with fire!"

With a bang, a rocket...hit the opposite camp and instantly ignited a huge fire.

"General, four hundred steps!"

"Call me when you reach three hundred steps!" Zhen Xiaoman shouted.

There was a fire in the camp. The soldiers were getting anxious and their strength was gradually declining. Xiao Man saw this and shouted, "They are dying... Soldiers, fight for your lives!"

"General, two hundred steps!"
