ds the railing of the cliff waterfall........"We have been discovered."He jumped off this cliff, he's definitely dead for sure, and he was also injured by our energy! He definitely can't survive!"Let'..."Amazing" Huo Qubing asked, puzzled.

"Oh, that's amazing!" Lu Cheng replied.

"Could they possibly hold out for two days"

Lu Cheng estimated for a moment, and then confirmed again.

"General, are you sure Cloudcastle will be repaired for me and given to me, even if I mess it up No one will hold me accountable, right"

"Agreed." Huo Qubing nodded.

Emperor Wu personally bestowed upon him the title of Cavalry General, with the imperial seal and command of all military operations on the right flank. Under these circumstances, there was no problem with his receiving control of Yunzhong Fort following the death of its governor in battle.

Huo Qubing always trusted his subordinates, even the Xiongnu could be relied upon.

Besides, the person in charge of Gongshu's family left. I don't even know if he's still alive. Since this stranger can repair it, just leave it to him.

"Then, for these ten days, I still need 3,000 infantry from Yunzhong Fortress."

"OK."

"Okay, I guarantee to handle this thing. With no more than 50,000 werewolves, we can definitely hold out for two days."

"Oh Brother Lu, it's not easy to hold on. You must know that the Cloud Summit is not a pass. Once the fighting begins, if the enemy can't break through within a day, they might choose to besiege us. We must leave before the encirclement is formed. I know mechanisms are ever-changing, but are you sure you can do it"

Lu Cheng thought about it for a moment.

If the Xiongnu wanted to quickly advance south, they would not prioritize sieges, as that would be too time-consuming. On the first day, they would definitely try to break through.

If you don't want to be surrounded, then you really must walk before the encirclement is formed.

"No problem, I will give you an unassailable fortress. But General, if Cloud Fortress is still standing after the war, and I am alive and escaped the encirclement, it belongs to me."

"Are you taking this" Huo Qubing's subordinate was genuinely surprised.

Lu Cheng checked the deck capacity and reluctantly said, "If it's really not enough, I'll have Qi Ye and Meng Po go back to work for a couple of days first. When this is free, I can focus on alchemy and reach the second stage of the Jindan period. That should be about enough."

Since you guys are so close, I guess these two wouldn't mind.

"Take it with you."

"That's quite interesting." Huo Qubing suddenly smiled. "The fall of Yunzhong was inevitable. This fortress in the frontier has stood here since the Qin Dynasty. Rather than falling into the hands of the Xiongnu and being destroyed, you can take it away. I might as well pretend I didn't see it."

"Alright! General, just rest assured, I've got this. Card printing is my specialty." Lu Cheng patted his chest confidently.

That's good.

The two were just about to say something else.

"General, General!" someone ran over from afar.

Lu Cheng recognizes him, this guy is the only guardian left in Yun Zhong.

To speak of it is miraculous, in the clouds all officials besides him were assimilated into werewolves, and this fellow escaped unscathed. The reason, as it turns out, was that he had been derelict in his duty, going out with his cronies during wartime to have a good time, only returning yesterday.

"General, the count is finished. There are currently 4,200 border troops and 1,000 civilians in the clouds. There are also around 1,300 horses." Guan Shou was drenched in sweat.

At the sight of this morning's events, I was utterly terrified.

Although the general before us is young, he is a Feather Lin Army General and an Imperial Guard. He can be beheaded if the emperor says so.

Ho Qubing frowned and said, "Why are there so few horses!"

"Werewolf! Drink up, Werewolf!" Guan Shou said. "But it's alright, there should be enough."

"That won't do. I'll go find Ma, and you have the laborers return to Yanmen Pass as quickly as possible. Tell the guards at Yanmen Pass that if Yuncheng falls, the Xiongnu will reach their doorstep in three days. Hold your ground as much as you can. Two days later, if things are impossible to hold, you may retreat towards Chang'an." Huo Qubing said.

Guan Shou curled his lip. This general was so young, he was definitely a rookie.

We don't need this many horses at all. With the Xiongnu army pressing down on our borders, it's certain that half of our city defense force will be lost. Even if we have to retreat, 1300 horses would be nearly enough.

What else are you looking for

Huogoubi didn't understand Guan Shou's intentions, but

He knew, these weren't horses, they were hope.

The highest combat power in the Han Dynasty was the Yulin and Huba, followed by the Bei Army of Weiyang Palace, and then the frontier garrison.

They were considered elite border troops, with morale and combat effectiveness far exceeding those of local forces. However, they still couldn't guarantee that they would not mutiny in a desperate situation.

1300 horses is a sign of big things to come. The most realistic issue at hand is that, at the very least, everyone knows 3000 people can't walk.

Thinking from a soldier's perspective, who leaves and who stays

Two thousand featherlinemen are mounted, the company commanders and battalion commanders can all walk. Can those regular soldiers walk

This is simply the creation of classes by humans.

Will the soldiers even want to fight if they think about this

Huo Qubing once led cavalry deep into enemy territory. He understood very well that in warfare, one must think from the perspective of the soldiers.

If, in a dire situation of scarcity and under immense enemy pressure, hope is lost, then the battle cannot be fought.

And an army filled with hope, even in desperation, will not collapse!

"Alright, time is of the essence. Lu Ge, let's split up and take care of things. You handle the fortress."

The card group cannot be recovered, and even domain cards are unable to hold them. They have been severely compromised and destroyed by penetration.

But it's no problem, for this fortress Lu Cheng truly has a way.

Within the bamboo grove, the sound of hammering metal, clanging and ringing.

"Grandpa, I went to a place and brought you a big treasure!" Lu Cheng wailed before even entering, "I'm going to start crafting legends!"

Of course, Gongshu Ban should be the one to research his own family's inventions!

Lu Cheng drew the blueprint and decisively went to look for Gongshu Ban.

"Hmph, what treasures could you possibly have" Gongsun Ban and Lu Cheng had a negative relationship, so naturally, they didn't look pleased.

Lu Cheng licked his lips and pushed the blueprint toward Gongsun Ban.

Gongshu glanced absentmindedly.

I couldn't take my eyes off it!

Ke Lu can put the blueprint away.

Show me, quickly!

Gongshu Jia, during the second Hundred Schools Debate, had developed a technological tree for mirages that led to mechanical fortresses, powered by multiple cores. Luban immediately recognized it as his own style but also noticed some key differences!

"Well, if you don't think much of me, I guess I'll have to ask the Mo family to take a look then. " Lu Cheng shook his head.

"You're out of your mind! This is my Gongsun family heirloom!!! Of course I'm here to see it!!"

Card Luban's favorability towards you decreased by 5.

So, you agree

"Humph, get it to me quickly!"

"Kid, did you get this blueprint from my Gongshu family descendants"

"It's not a regular derivative parallel world." Lu Cheng shook his head.

"Why is there still the technique of the Mohist school in this painting Did you do it" Lu Ban's face darkened.

"No way, I have nothing to do with the Mohist!" Lu Cheng shook his head vigorously. "Don't look at me, really!"

After Qin unified China, after so many years of development, the art of strategy had long gone through a period of great integration. It is normal for Mohist skills to be included in it.

In ten minutes.

"There's a lot to be said for that." Gongshuban studied the drawings, saying, "Last time I helped you build the dragon boat, you learned quite a bit. Since you're in such a hurry, come help me with this one too."

You have unlocked Legendary Card Crafting!

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!vest in Cao's boss, so it wouldn't be easy for the Red Cliffs gang to change Cao's fate.The problem is that even Cao Cao refused. He sent a letter to Xu Chang, but Cao Cao probably didn't even look at...
