C4666 Heavy Casualties
The Tang army was extremely powerful and could only passively defend. No matter how strong the defensive line was, it would be useless.
Lu Yu was at the back, but he actually encountered the sneak attack of Wu Ding Marquis Li Zhongsi. This already proved the problem.
The Tang army could bypass the massive defensive line and reach the rear when Great Yu was unprepared. Although it was only a small force, it was enough to deal a destructive blow to the entire defensive line of Great Yu.
"Fortunately, you came. If you were any later, I'm afraid it would have been dangerous."
Fu Zhixue sighed and said, "The four major battalions of Imperial Capital are basically running out. Even the Imperial Army has been worn out. The Divine Policy Army and the Divine Martial Army add up to less than two hundred thousand people. They exist in name only. Don't blame the Emperor for being ruthless and letting those unarmed civilians fight. There's really nothing we can do about it."
After saying that, Fu Zhixue pointed to a military camp not far away: "The Ardent Sun Army also suffered heavy losses. Now, even the reserve army has gone into battle, but I don't know how long they can hold on"
On that military camp, the flag of the Golden Crow was hanging, fluttering in the wind.
The inside of the Ardent Sun Army camp was filled with sorrow. Many wounded soldiers were scattered on both sides of the road. Their eyes were dull, and they all had different degrees of injuries on their bodies.
Lu Yu also saw the camp of the barbarian army. There were also countless wounded soldiers.
However, with the help of the Demonic Beast, the number of wounded soldiers was obviously lesser than the other armies. Outside the camp, a huge transport ship was transporting iron cages. There were countless huge Demonic Beast being sent over to participate in the battle.
A tall and sturdy barbarian was shuttling back and forth in the camp. Their bodies were much taller than ordinary people's. And, they gave people an extremely obvious sense of oppression.
"Lord Lu, how long will it take for your army to arrive?" Song Qinhu asked.
Lu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Two more days."
Two days was the limit.
Lu Yu's army this time was too large. Not only did they need to gather up the soldiers, but they also needed to keep up with the logistics. From the East Victory Galaxy to the Imperial Capital, transporting the soldiers was also a problem.
"Two days, two days..." Song Qinhu shook his head. His expression was quite serious.
The number of casualties every day was huge.
At this moment, another camp gate suddenly opened, and a group of cavalry charged in.
These cavalry were also wearing armor, and the soldiers were also wearing bright and shiny armor. They held all kinds of magical weapons, and faint magical energy flowed out.
The cavalry swaggered through the camp, and the soldiers at the side stepped aside, not daring to stop the cavalry.
"Lord Fu! Lord Song!"
At the very front of the cavalry, a general wearing a Qilin armor and riding a Dragon Blood Stallion swaggered over.
This person was the Imperial Palace Guards' commander, Xu Tiangang!
Xu Tiangang's gaze swept over the two of them before suddenly landing on Lu Yu. He frowned and said, "Lu Yu, you actually came!"
Lu Yu said faintly, "What? You are very surprised that I came?"
Between the two of them, it could be said that there had been enmity between them since a long time ago.
On the Imperial Examinations, Xu Tiangang had already been appointed as the top scholar by the Crown Prince, Zhao Yuanyan. Unfortunately, in the end, Lu Yu had appeared out of nowhere and seized the position of the top scholar from Xu Tiangang.
In the theory examination, combat examination, and court examination, Lu Yu had completely crushed Xu Tiangang. This was something that Xu Tiangang, who had always been a proud son of heaven, could not bear.
Furthermore, Lu Yu had a grudge with the Xu Family. Xu Tiangang naturally did not have a good impression of Lu Yu.
