Chapter 296: Provocation

Since Daqing could have been taken by surprise at the beginning, so could they.

Because of the hatred for the Daqing State for not abiding by the agreement before and sneaking on the battlefield, the temperament of the South Vietnamese State this time was fully reflected.

I saw that their troops were divided into two formations, and they moved forward rapidly, and before the horses and soldiers of Daqing Kingdom were not familiar enough with this mountain range, they directly broke up and diverted the army of Daqing Kingdom with their own fast attack, and broke them one by one.

This battle, before Nangong Jingchen arrived, had already shown a one-sided trend.

However, when Nangong Jingchen received the news, when he arrived at the battlefield in a military uniform, it was only a stick of incense. Just the time of this incense stick has made the battle of Daqing Kingdom powerless.

Nangong Jingchen is not only a brave man, as soon as he arrived on the battlefield, he found that the situation was not right, and if he continued like this, he would only let the soldiers die in vain.

So he immediately made a decision to let people retreat, and these warriors also obeyed him, but fortunately they did not love the battle and left in a hurry.

After all, in this battle, Daqing Kingdom lost. The South Vietnamese State won a phased victory, while the Daqing State suffered some losses, but the South Vietnamese State almost did not spend a single soldier.

Nangong Jingchen, who came back from the battlefield, was angry, and he clearly knew that the failure of this battle was not his own reason. If it weren't for Cao Mo's sneak attack before, which made Nanyue so angry, and because of the previous professor, Nanyue was prepared, this day would not have been so badly lost.

However, at this moment, if he went to the prison to question Cao Mo, maybe he would be questioned in turn.

So even though the anger in his heart was about to be uncontrollable, Nangong Jingchen still forcibly calmed himself down and didn't go to Cao Mo for trouble.

He will not let the defeat of this battle continue.

After all, if the South Vietnamese country had greatly boosted their morale because of this battle, it would not be of any benefit to him.

However, the biggest advantage of this battle is that he knows the combat methods of the two countries, and for this reason, Nangong Jingchen took great pains to visit the camp of wounded soldiers.

Because the soldiers of Daqing now use horses and cavalry, although the cavalry is brave and good at fighting on the plains, but between these mountains, it is definitely not an advantage.

The South Vietnamese sergeants also seemed to have used some props to turn the cavalry off their horses or shoot them in the legs, so that the cavalry would not be able to play their advantage at all, but would be dragged down.

From these descriptions, Nangong Jingchen already knew that the people of Nanyue had already grasped the weakness of Daqing Kingdom. It's no wonder that the soldiers of Daqing broke through the border of Daqing Kingdom in one fell swoop before, and the soldiers of Daqing Country actually had no power to fight back.

If you oppose these South Vietnamese soldiers without knowing anything about them, this kind of behavior is completely self-defeating.

Then he had no better way, after all, his army was not familiar enough with the mountainous areas here, and if they didn't even have horses, they wouldn't have a speed advantage.

Worried about the safety of the soldiers in his camp, he decided to let the soldiers give up their horses during the battle, and if he saw the defeat falling, he would stay in the green mountains and discuss the matter when the others came back.

And it was precisely because of Nangong Jingchen's order that when these soldiers were fighting, they needed to give up their horses and could not continue to fight because they needed to, so they finally lost their armor, and the border city also lost nearly ten miles of camp.

As soon as he set out on the expedition, he faced unfavorable consequences, and soon, Nangong Jingchen's reputation was a little low among the sergeants he became

Nangong Jingchen was also very anxious about this, but he knew that if he was too anxious and impatient, it was likely to backfire.

As for Nangong Jingchen's unpopularity, such news unknowingly reached the ears of Cao Mo, who was locked up in prison at the moment.

Cao heard that Nangong Jingchen not only lost the camp, but also suffered two defeats, and he was not angry.

He didn't think that Nangong Jingchen's defeat had anything to do with his previous behavior, but only thought that Nangong Jingchen was weak and incompetent, so he would keep failing, and if he went out by himself, I was afraid that this battle would not be lost so badly.

But who would dare to disobey Nangong Jingchen's order? After all, the other party is the identity of His Royal Highness the Prince!

But Cao Mo didn't believe in this evil.

Cao Mo was in the cell, and when he saw a soldier coming to deliver food to him, he thought of a way before leaving.

Relying on his strong martial arts, he directly threatened the soldier's life and asked the soldier to let him out.

In this case, the threatened soldier thought that it was not worth the loss to die at the hands of his own people. The soldier had no choice but to let Cao Mo out.

Of course, all that happened in the cell was hidden from Nangong Jingchen.

And Cao Mo's first reaction when he was released was not to find Nangong Jingchen to express his thoughts, but to find his grandfather's protégé - Jin Zhong.

As soon as they met, Cao Mo directly asked Admiralty to give him another 5,000 people, as long as he had these 5,000 people, he would definitely be able to create a miracle.

What kind of failure, that is only the kind of embroidered pillow that Nangong Jingchen will have, he will prove who is the real god of war!

But when Jin Zhong saw that Cao Mo actually ignored the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and escaped from prison, wanting to prove that he was right, he even asked for 5,000 troops, he was really frightened.

Although this is said that "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", Cao Mo is actually not a "newborn calf", so he doesn't take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in his eyes?

If he helps Cao Mo, I'm afraid he won't be able to protect himself in the end!

So when Cao Mo said his request, Jin Zhong hesitated and wanted to refuse.

Seeing Jin Zhong's hesitant and twisted appearance, Cao Mo was not stupid, he immediately understood what the other party cared about, and he was not angry, and said angrily: "General Jin, do you think it is reasonable to see us being beaten by those barbarians to the way we are now, and even losing so much land?" The prince is just a straw bag, would you rather follow this straw bag and lose the battle than let me try the general? Or do you think I don't have the ability? ”

Cao Mo dared to say such a rebellious remark in front of Jin Zhong, but Jin Zhong was just silent and speechless.

Seeing that Jin Zhong was still indifferent, Cao Mo couldn't help but sneer and said: "Sure enough, you are the general of the defeated army, and you are destined to be like that prince, and you will only lose the battle." The southern border couldn't be defended before, no wonder it was passed on to His Highness, your virtue naturally couldn't beat the barbarians. It's not just luck that you're able to keep your position now, and there's no real learning at all. ”

Hearing this, Admiralty was also stimulated.

What general can stand others saying that he has no talent at all, and is even willing to suffer defeat, he doesn't want to do this!

So in the face of Cao Mo's instigation, Jin Zhong finally became angry and said directly: "If you dare to disrespect the will, I dare to give it to you, I want to see what you do!" ”

Hearing Jin Zhong's relief, Cao Mo had a smug smile on his face.
