The Li army occupied the upper reaches of the Qiongjiang River and was easy to defend, while the Song and Bai armies occupied the lower reaches and it was difficult to swim upstream.

After the coastal navy rushed to Qiongjiang, the Li Jiajun seemed to have a counterattack. The Song and Bai armies were afraid that it would be difficult to win head-on, so they wanted to use the strength of the Lin Gang to lead a naval army from the right flank to attack Qiongjiang from two directions.

The Song Bai army, which attacked Zhaoye, was finally counterattacked by the Li Jiajun and was forced to retreat to Heyang Pass. They stationed elite soldiers and strong artillery at Heyang Pass, and the defense was strong, and the Li army had to retreat to confront it after two defeats.

At this time, on the surface, Li Chengjing could not defeat Song Bai and could protect himself even if he joined forces. In fact, a plague has caused heavy losses to the troops, people, and agriculture of Central and Southern China, coupled with the loss of the war, the comprehensive strength of the Li family's army is no longer comparable to that of the Song and Bai armies.

After another half a year of confrontation, Li Jiajun can still be invincible. If it exceeds half a year, Li Jiajun will be beaten again because of the lack of post-payment.

It was Li Chengjing who was desperately seeking an opportunity to take the initiative, hoping to end the war in the short term. And Song Jiujue and Bai Jingyi also guessed the trick, and while taking the initiative to attack, they were ready to preserve their strength and Li Chengjing's hard consumption.

A few days later, Chen Zui said goodbye to everyone and came to Commander-in-Chief Wenqiong's mansion alone.

He stepped forward to report his name, explaining that he was the former leader of the Xiao Gang and asked to see the commander-in-chief.

Unexpectedly, the matter of the Xiao Gang changing hands was telegraphed to inform Li Chengjing on the second day after Chen Youwei took office, but the guards at the gate did not know. What's more, after the war began, the defense of the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion was extremely strict, Mo said that Chen Zui was the previous gang leader, even the current gang leader had to show his identity certificate, or pay a visit, and then the soldiers would show Li Chengjing, and Li Chengjing could only enter after Li Chengjing's permission.

Fortunately, the soldiers didn't let Chen drunk in, and just asked him to leave, and didn't embarrass him.

Chen Zui came to Li Chengjing for revenge, how could he leave like this. He originally wanted to wait outside for Li Chengjing to appear, but after thinking about it, he may not be able to wait in this extraordinary period, not to mention that the desire for revenge makes him not want to wait for a moment.

I couldn't break through hard, and suddenly I had a flash of inspiration and took out the pistol given by Li Chengjing from my waist. Turning the head of the gun upside down, he handed it out, "This pistol was given by Commander Li, you can test it and then present it to Commander Li for inspection." ”

The soldiers selected by Li Chengjing will not be too stupid, and the other party may really have something important to see the commander-in-chief in such a hurry. If you go in and report it, you will be criticized at worst, and if you delay the commander-in-chief's major event, it will be a deadly disaster.

A soldier checked the pistol and confirmed that there was no problem, and searched Chen Zui's body again, and found nothing abnormal, so he went in to report to Li Chengjing.

After a while, the soldier came to report: "The commander-in-chief has please." ”

The soldier took him to Li Chengjing's study, and then withdrew.

Li Chengjing didn't know about Leng Chuxian yet, so she was very surprised by Chen Zui's arrival: "Why did you suddenly come to Wen Qiong to find me?" Is there something going on? ”

Chen Zui said: "I want to rejoin your command and serve you." ”

"What?" Li Chengjing asked: "I guess you resigned from the position of helper because you were tired of the disputes in the rivers and lakes, how could you suddenly think of serving in our army now?" Also, if you make this decision, will Chu Xian agree to it? ”

"Chu Xian is dead......

Li Chengjing's whole body trembled: "What did you say?" ”

Chen Zui reluctantly told Li Chengjing the whole story, Li Chengjing's body was weak, she took two steps back, and her heart was like a layer of lead, and she kept sinking.

Chen Zui pleaded: "Chengjing, please remember the friendship with Chu Xian, let me stay, I will use the blood of the Song and Bai families to pay tribute to Chu Xian's soul in the sky." ”

Li Chengjing was silent for a long time. "Someone."

A soldier entered.

"Arrange for Mr. Chen to rest in the house, and don't slack off."

The soldier received the order and took Chen to the side room again.

After Chen Zui left, Li Chengjing kept herself in the study, and even the dinner was sent to her study by the subordinates, and two jars of wine were sent in.

After eight o'clock, Li Chengjing still didn't take half a step out of the study, but ordered another jar of wine. After the soldiers who delivered the wine entered, they found that Li Chengjing was only drunk and had not eaten a single bite of the food she was sent.

Li Chengjing's mind was full of Leng Chuxian, her grief, anger, and more deep self-blame.

If it weren't for Chen Zui helping her retreat from the enemy, they wouldn't have caused the disaster of killing. Or, if she didn't choose this path at the beginning, she wouldn't have changed Leng Chuxian's life trajectory, and she should be very happy now.

All this is because of her, she owes everyone, and she is the culprit. There are also those who owe Chen Zui, and they will never be able to repay it again in their lifetime.

After leaving, the soldier hurried to find Adjutant Wen.

Adjutant Wen had just gone up the stairs when he heard three gunshots from the study, and immediately took out his pistol and rushed in with several soldiers at the door.

Li Chengjing's pistol was pointed at the wall, and there was a map of the national forces on the wall, and the spheres of influence of all sides were planted with flags. The flags of the two lords of Song and Bai were all shot down by Li Chengjing, and the accuracy of marksmanship is rare in the world.

"The Commander-in-Chief is angry."

Li Chengjing said weakly: "You all go down." ”

The soldiers retreated, and Adjutant Moon was still standing.

"Didn't I let you out?"

Adjutant Wen said: "The lower officer doesn't know what happened, but the commander-in-chief is the hope of the entire Central and Southern China, and his words and deeds affect the war ahead, and the lower officer has the courage to beg the commander-in-chief to go back and rest." ”

After speaking, he still stood there, and there was a lot of Li Chengjing's persistence that he would not leave if he didn't rest.

After drinking some wine and venting, Li Chengjing's heart was not so clogged, and her mind was a little clearer, so she got up and went back to the room to rest.

Li Chengjing didn't eat a bite of food, and Adjutant Wen guessed that she had no appetite for big fish and meat at this time, so he ordered the kitchen to cook some porridge and send it to Li Chengjing's room.

Li Chengjing, who returned to the room, still couldn't swallow, she lay on the bed tossing and turning, looking at the ceiling, and remembered the bits and pieces after meeting Leng Chuxian. Thinking about it, I feel that she is the only one who helps me, and I don't even give back.

I don't know how long it took, she came to a place in a daze, she rubbed her eyes, surrounded by strange flowers and flowers, a pool in the middle, the pool is colorful, and there is a fairy aura, is this a fairyland?

Suddenly, someone behind her called her: "Cheng Jing, Cheng Jing......"

This voice is very familiar, it is Leng Chuxian's voice.

Li Chengjing turned around, Leng Chuxian was wearing a white dress, this situation was like a fairy descending to earth, looking at her with a smile.

Li Chengjing rushed over and hugged her, "I'm scared to death, Chen Zui said you... It's okay, it's okay. ”

There was another voice in front of him, "Cheng Jing, Cheng Jing..."

Li Chengjing was surprised why Leng Chuxian's voice was in front, and when she turned around, she found that she was holding an empty cup in her arms, and Leng Chuxian was still in front of her.

"Chengjing, listen to me, I'm leaving, I'm going to a far place, I came today because I want to tell you."

Li Chengjing rushed in her direction again, but this time, no matter how fast she ran, the distance between them did not change at all.

Leng Chuxian continued: "Chengjing, you must find your heart and live well, I'm leaving, you have to take care." ”

Finally, Leng Chu swooped and disappeared completely.

"Don't!" Li Chengjing woke up instantly, it was dark all around, she was still in her bed, it turned out that she had a dream. However, the scene in the dream is so real, Leng Chuxian's words are still in my ears.

"Find your heart and live well." Is she hinting at herself? But now, how can she go back to square one? After all, she has to live up to Leng Chuxian's expectations. ”

After another while, Li Chengjing closed her eyes again, and when she woke up again, it was just dawn.

Just as he was about to get up, he heard a knock at the door, "Commander-in-chief, there is an urgent military situation ahead." It was Adjutant Wen's voice.

Li Chengjing immediately changed her clothes and went to the hall, only to learn that the enemy troops on the opposite side of Qiongjiang were divided into two routes, attacking from the front and the right flank at the same time, and the soldiers in front were fighting with all their might.

Li Chengjing immediately rushed to the front line to supervise the battle.

The two armies of Song and Bai sent 30,000 troops, 20,000 attacked from the front to contain the main force of the Li army, and 10,000 broke through the defense line of the Li army from the right flank, and then attacked back and forth to capture Qiongjiang.

The battle situation on the Qiongjiang side was under the command of Jiang Ting, the commander of the naval division, and in the face of the menacing enemy forces on both sides, he calmly analyzed: No matter how many enemy troops there are in the front, there is no need to worry about it for the time being. The key is the right flank, the right flank is also the upper reaches of the Qiongjiang River, it is easy to attack, once the right flank is broken, the enemy army is connected from end to end, and the Qiongjiang River is difficult to protect.

Jiang Ting ordered 8,000 soldiers to block the enemy head-on, 15,000 soldiers to annihilate the enemy on the right flank with all their might, and 20,000 soldiers to be ready to support at any time.

After the battle situation warmed up, the morale of the army rose greatly, and the coastal naval army had a higher fighting spirit after defeating Andrean, and at this time they resisted the enemy army and did not fall behind.

The two sides fought fiercely for more than four hours, and the Song and Bai armies were also increasing their troops, although they had the upper hand on the front, the right flank could not break through the defense line of the Li army, and they were still increasing troops to the right flank.

After another two hours, Li Chengjing ordered to send 3,000 soldiers to take the initiative to attack, and the enemy army did not retreat, and there could be no one who took a step back.

As soon as the military order was given, the three thousand soldiers rushed towards the enemy like fierce beasts that were not afraid of death, and the offensive was fierce, and the enemy army was also terrified. After another hour, Li Jiajun regained a little upper hand in the front, and Li Chengjing sent another 2,000 soldiers to attack, and at the same time asked the three armies to shout victory.

Originally, although the frontal army fell behind under the Li Jiajun's broken fighting style, it was not to the point of defeat, but when the Li Jiajun shouted like this, the momentum was huge, and the soldiers on the right flank thought that their side was defeated head-on, and the army began to be chaotic because it could not be attacked for a long time.

As soon as the army's heart was in chaos, the formation was also chaotic. Seeing that the enemy's flaws were exposed, the Li Jiajun on the right flank took advantage of the situation to attack, and the enemy army was defeated and retreated. After defeating the enemy army on the right flank, he quickly rushed back to the front to meet him, and the enemy army on the front could not parry and immediately retreated.

Jiang Ting ordered the troops to be withdrawn.
