A gust of north wind blew on the brightly lit military tents, and the warships on the Dongjiang River were also swayed from side to side by this cold wind.

In the military tent, Jiang Zhennan looked at the map on several cases, his brows were tightened, he paced back and forth in the account, Wu Chengan's face was slightly lost, he looked at Jiang Zhennan who was dangling in front of him, and his heart inexplicably set off a wave of irritability. And Xiang Hongxi, who was silent on the side, also had a solemn expression, he looked directly at the maps on several cases, as if he had something to say.

"An Guohou, the general didn't expect that there was a sudden snowstorm on the road, and it took more than a month to reach the Dongjiang River, and it didn't help An Guohou anything, so you captured the Dongjiang important place, although these 100,000 reinforcements came from a long journey, but they are not too tired, and there should be no problem with you continuing to attack Shaoguan." Wu Chengan said confidently.

Wu Chengan didn't expect that Jiang Zhennan would capture the Dongjiang River in a month, and he was also shocked when he saw the 20,000 guards in the south. The southern defenders have strict military discipline and extremely strong combat effectiveness, especially the black armor army under Jiang Zhennan, it is not a problem to have one enemy and ten enemies, Wu Chengan also has to admire Jiang Zhennan's military ability, if Jiang Zhennan was guarding Beirong at the beginning, how can there be anything to do with their martial arts?

"Master Horse, although spring is about to begin, the land in the south is warming up quickly, and the soldiers and horses of the whole territory of Dongyu go to attack Shaoguan, and the chances of victory will be greater. But the battle of Dongjiang was also fought for a month, and Shaoguan didn't know if there were any additional troops, even if there was not, if Shaoguan was defeated, Nanxi counterattacked, Dongjiang was not heavily guarded, and Dongjiang would soon be returned to Nanxiguo, and it would be difficult to take Dongjiang and Shaoguan in the future, Dongjiang could not be lost, even if Shaoguan was defeated, as long as Dongjiang was not lost, Shaoguan could be captured slowly. ”

Jiang Zhennan didn't know that as long as Shaoguan was quickly taken, Nanxi Guopo would be in front of him, but the problem was that if there was more Wu Cheng'an in this battle, it would be difficult to fight.

If you win the battle, you have to share the credit with Wu Cheng'an, maybe Wu Cheng'an is lucky and captures Emperor Nanxi, then the battle to destroy Nanxi will be inexplicably cut off by Wu Chengan. But if the war is lost, the problem will be even more serious, the Dongjiang River will definitely not be able to hold, and Nanxi will definitely fight to the death in the future, this is a protracted war. It is not a problem to destroy Nanxi, but this is not the result that Xiang Hongxuan wants, and he can't take this step unless he has to.

Wu Chengan understood Jiang Zhennan's words, Jiang Zhennan said that it was not completely unreasonable, although the generals must want to win the battle when they go to the battlefield, but if they are defeated, and they lose the fruits of other people's victories, then he is eager to win, and if he doesn't get the credit, he will only be left.

"An Guohou, King Duan has never been on the battlefield, you let him lead 70,000 soldiers and horses to wait outside Shaoguan, in case something goes wrong, you and I are not good to explain to Your Majesty, it is better to let King Duan lead 100,000 soldiers and horses to guard the Dongjiang River, when you lead 20,000 elite soldiers to attack Shaoguang, I will lead 70,000 soldiers and horses outside Shaoguan, waiting for your order." Wu Chengan said unwillingly, he finally had the opportunity to participate in the war in Nanxi Kingdom, and Jiang Zhennan didn't let him go to the front line.

How did he build a feat?

Suddenly, Xiang Hongxi on the side pointed to the pictures on a few cases, and said faintly: "Master Ma, the Marquis of An Guo asked this king to wait here, with fireworks as a signal, as long as he sees the fireworks of the retreating troops, this king will immediately lead the soldiers and horses back to the Dongjiang River, there should be no problem, but if this king guards the Dongjiang River, in case Nanxi Kingdom comes to attack, you and An Guohou are not there, and Dongjiang is not at Nanxi people's request?" ”

Xiang Hongxi should not defend the position of the Dongjiang River, the soldiers guarding the Dongjiang River are all recruits who will not be able to fight in the water, in case Nanxi counterattacks, this battle has almost no chance of winning, and according to Jiang Zhennan's strategy, there is a certain chance of winning narrowly, this is a rare opportunity, and Jiang Zhennan took the initiative to propose, he wants to go to the front line, although he knows that this is not suitable, but he can't suppress the impulse in his heart, it is his dream to become an invincible general on the battlefield, and now the dream is in front of him, how can he turn a blind eye?

"Master Horse, King Duan is right, only if you guard the Dongjiang River, can you hold the Dongjiang position, if Shaoguan is defeated, the Dongjiang River is the base camp of Dongyu's southern attack, it is extremely important, and there is no room for mistakes." Jiang Zhennan said earnestly.

He is the truth, but he is indeed selfish, it is best for Wu Chengan not to go to the front line, and in case Shaoguan is defeated and Wu Chengan holds the Dongjiang River, then the Jiang family's exploits in capturing the Dongjiang River will not be forgotten by Xiang Hongxuan.

Wu Chengan sneered, sure enough, this in-law is really related, hang him in the Dongjiang River, Jiang Zhennan took Xiang Hongxi, who couldn't fight, to Shaoguan, and Jiang Zhennan took great pains to leave 70,000 horses for Xiang Hongxi, and he only took 20,000 people in the south to attack the dangerous Shaoguan, Jiang Zhennan was afraid of hurting Xiang Hongxi's life, he took all aspects into consideration, but if this battle was fought like this, it would be difficult for Jiang Zhennan to win. Wu Chengan couldn't help but be curious, how confident did Jiang Zhennan have to dare to attack Shaoguan like this? He didn't dare anyway.

A cold wind blew into the tent, the candles in the tent flickered on and off, and the three people who didn't say a word thought about it, and the silence in the military tent was a little terrifying. Suddenly, Jiang Zhennan walked to the side of several cases, hit them heavily with one hand, and said loudly: "Then it's decided." ”

.....................................................................................................................

The sound of fighting resounded inside and outside Shaoguan, and the soldiers in the black crowd were covered in blood, and they couldn't tell which was the Dongyu soldier and which was the Nanxi soldier. On the battlefield all morning, dead bodies were everywhere, Jiang Zhennan looked at the noon sun, broke through the last line of defense of Nanxi in front, and Shaoguan was breached, but Dongyu soldiers were also killed and wounded, he looked back at Jiang Bangfeng, who was still fighting the enemy, and his heart was melancholy.

Suddenly, a Nanxi soldier was carrying a knife and was slashing at Jiang Bangfeng's back, Jiang Zhennan quickly ran behind Jiang Bangfeng, and swung his big knife at the enemy behind Jiang Bangfeng.

A bright red blood sprayed in front of Jiang Zhennan's eyes, and the enemy soldier's head fell to the ground in an instant. Jiang Zhennan grabbed Jiang Bangfeng and said sharply: "Wanfeng, quickly withdraw from Shaoguan with the Black Armor Army." ”

Jiang Bangfeng was stunned, he looked at the Dongyu soldiers who had been killed and wounded on the battlefield, at such a life-and-death juncture, if he left Shaoguan with the Black Armor Army, Jiang Zhennan would definitely die.

"Father, I won't go, if I capture the front, Shaoguan will be broken, and I can't go, father." Jiang Bangfeng shouted hysterically.

Jiang Zhennan raised his hand, and a slap hit Jiang Bangfeng's face, and he roared angrily: "Confused, the pass ahead, Nanxi is heavily guarded, this station Dongyu has too many casualties, and there is a huge disparity between Nanxi's troops, and it is difficult to win." ”

Jiang Zhennan looked at his little son, he regretted taking him to Nanxi's battlefield a little, unconsciously, his eyes were also moist, he choked up and said: "If you stay, I'm afraid you will die on this battlefield like your eldest brother, you have to live, the Jiang family needs you, the queen needs you, listen to my father's words, take the black armor army to Duanwang, at the end of the day, whether you see the fireworks signal or not, you all retreat, hear it or not." ”

Jiang Zhennan continued to roar, in this bloody and killing cry, he clasped Jiang Bangfeng's shoulders tightly with both hands, he knew that if the 70,000 Dongyu soldiers outside Shaoguan attacked in, maybe victory would be in front of him, but he didn't dare to bet, if he lost, Jiang Bangfeng would die on the battlefield of Nanxi, then this victory would become meaningless.

"No, I'm not leaving, father, you're going to die." Jiang Bangfeng shouted heartbreakingly again. The tears on his face mixed with blood, blurring his face, so that Jiang Zhennan could no longer see his slightly immature appearance.

Jiang Zhennan's convulsive face was his grief-stricken expression, he hugged his son's head and pulled it into his arms, a tear slowly crossed Jiang Zhennan's face and dripped onto Jiang Bangfeng's cheek.

"You have to live, you live the Jiang family's victory is meaningful, you shoulder the rise and fall of the Jiang family, no matter if you win or lose this battle, you will quickly defeat Nanxi, be obedient, go to Duanwangna, believe in your father, and don't let your father down."

After saying that, Jiang Zhennan shook his hand and wiped away the tears that should not appear on his face, he shouted towards the black armor army that was still fighting in front of him, and the black armor army immediately quickly gathered around Jiang Zhennan, he pushed Jiang Bangfeng towards the black armor army, he reluctantly glanced at Jiang Bangfeng, waved his hand, and the black armor army took Jiang Bangfeng and ran towards Shaoguan.

Jiang Zhennan looked at the back of Jiang Bangfeng leaving, he laughed calmly, gave an order, and rushed forward with Dongyu soldiers without fear.

.....................................................................................................................

Xiang Hongxi anxiously paced back and forth in the account, Jiang

Bang Feng stood aside without saying a word, his face still had blood and tears on his face, they were waiting, waiting for Jiang Zhennan's fireworks signal, because this decided the advance and retreat of the Dongyu army. And Jiang Bangfeng didn't care about this battle anymore, he was waiting for the fireworks signal, just because it meant that Jiang Zhennan was still alive.

Suddenly, a herald soldier walked into the tent, and he said in a loud voice: "Lord Supervisor, it is past the end of the day, and I have not seen the fireworks signal of An Guohou, how should our army advance and retreat?" ”

Xiang Hongxi was shocked in his heart, it seems that the battle in Shaoguan is extremely fierce, according to Jiang Bangfeng, Jiang Zhennan has already hit the last line of defense in Shaoguan, if he attacks at this time, he is confident that he can break through Shaoguan.

But Jiang Zhennan asked them to retreat, it was obvious that Jiang Zhennan had no confidence in himself, the prince of the gentleman, and he was reluctant to take risks with his precious son, so he had no choice but to retreat, but it was too much of a loss, victory was in sight, and Xiang Hongxi was unwilling.

Xiang Hongxi looked at the frustrated Jiang Bangfeng, and he asked unrelentingly, "Little General, what do you say?" ”

Jiang Bangfeng looked at the maps on several cases blankly, he didn't wait for Jiang Zhennan's fireworks, which showed that Jiang Zhennan was probably more than lucky.

His eyes were so red that his eyes were bulging, his fists were clenched, and he wanted to immediately lead his troops into Shaoguan to avenge Jiang Zhennan, but he remembered Jiang Zhennan's entrustment on the battlefield, and his hands slowly stretched out unconsciously, and he said helplessly with tears in his eyes: "Just do what my father says." ”

Xiang Hongxi was very disappointed, he slowly came to the side of several cases, looking at the two command flags in front of him, the attacking order flag and the retreating order flag were placed side by side in front of him, he could easily pick up either one, but Xiang Hongxi could never raise his arm. He glanced at Jiang Bangfeng, who was still infinitely sad, his eyes rolled, and he turned to Jiang Bangfeng's side.

"Don't worry, the little general will win this battle." As he spoke, he turned sideways and pointed to a command flag without looking back, as if he was pointing at the attacking flag. The sermon officer listened to Xiang Hongxi's words just now, so he walked out of the camp excitedly.

After a while, the camp sounded the horn of attack, Jiang Bangfeng walked out in surprise, the Dongyu soldiers had already been assembled, and they were waiting for him to give an order to attack Shaoguan.

"Duanwang, how can this be?" Jiang Bangfeng asked in surprise.

Xiang Hongxi slowly walked outside the account, looking at the soldiers who were ready to go, he pretended to be a little worried and said: "Oh, the herald just now, he must have passed the wrong order, this is difficult to do, if the order is changed, I am afraid that the army will be unstable." ”

Jiang Bangfeng looked at the black oppressive army, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes. He quickly wiped the tears from his face with his arm and looked at Xiang Hongxi with a determined look.

"Duanwang, since it is not possible to withdraw the army, then it will be wrong, let's take Shaoguan in one go."

The corners of Xiang Hongxi's mouth rose slightly, he also looked at the Dongyu soldiers in front of him, and said softly: "Since this is the case, listen to the words of the little general and kill happily." ”
