On the bank of the Jiuchuan River, the forests on both sides of the river are stacked and green, the high mountains stand majestically into the clouds, the peaks stretch endlessly, especially the side where Jiang Liguo's army is stationed now, the terrain is more precipitous, just like the water of Jiuchuan breaks the mountain peaks from the middle, the rocks in many places are exposed, the grass and trees are not attached at all, the rocks are full of colorful colors under the sunlight, and now the spring red in the mountains and forests in this season has not completely withered, the birds and flowers reflect the steepness of the peaks, because the morning air is exceptionally fresh, I believe that anyone who has seen this scene will naturally be impressed by this natural scenery.

After having breakfast and hiding the carriage, horses and other supplies together, the three princes grouped the people, because there were exactly fourteen people, and the three princes themselves wanted to join the search mission, so they were divided into four groups, because the clues were provided by Di Yue, so the three princes focused on Di Yue's body, and the other three groups were all in groups of three, according to the scope of the previous division to find, and Di Yue and the three princes plus the three people of Qi Lian's group formed a large team of five people.

There was no objection to such an assignment, and the search began.

According to his memories of 1,300 years ago, Di Yue did not dare to directly bring the three princes to the destination in his memory, for fear of arousing unnecessary suspicion, after all, the story he made up was that the information was all seen in the book, so there were some discrepancies, and it was not so quick to match the places written in the book.

Although Di Yue also wants to find it as soon as possible, so as to end all this as soon as possible, the premise is not to expose himself.

On the other side, a place only three thousand miles away from Di Yue and them was a relatively gentle place on the banks of the Jiuchuan River, which was more suitable for attack than other places, so Zhirou Kingdom chose this place for the battlefield.

This area is made up of many river stones, so the ground is very loose, so it is not conducive to opening the battle for either the attacking side or the defending side, but in terms of the overall situation, this is still more reasonable for Zhirou than the offensive route of going down the mountain and going up.

After a day and a night of fierce fighting, the armies of both sides suffered heavy casualties, especially Jiang Liguo's side, although the grain and grass were barely sufficient, but the meat mostly relied on fish, and the nutrition of the soldiers could not keep up.

And when Zhirou was about to end this battle, she sent a larger and stronger warship to attack, and transported the well-trained wolf to the battlefield through the ship, although Jiang Liguo chose to defend and not attack in this battle, but the wolves were bloodthirsty, and Jiang Liguo, who had not suffered many casualties, lost 2,000 people after the wolves attacked.

The enemy army has the wolf warrior to help, this sudden change made Jiang Li's army panic, morale is not as good as before, taking advantage of the two armies are exhausted at this time, Jiang Li's prince Yu Yang is anxious at this time, and summons all the generals in the camp to discuss the next method of defeating the enemy.

Obviously, the generals were also caught off guard by this sudden change, the enemy only let the wolf warrior participate in the battle at the end, and there were not many of them, but it was difficult to guarantee that the enemy would not directly send more wolf warriors to take the lead in the next war, and then they would suffer heavy casualties on their side, and the enemy could directly send troops to clean up the battlefield, so the battle that had been held for so long before would fall short, and when Zhirou conquered the last line of defense of Jiuchuan Tianwei, he could drive straight into the north and go straight to the imperial city, and there was no geographical advantage to rely on on this way, Jiang will leave the country and fall into an even greater crisis.

Jiang Liguo's entire military camp exuded a very depressed low pressure, the protracted war for so long had exhausted them physically and mentally, the two armies had been holding each other for so long, they obviously found that Zhirou was menacing this time, and was not as bad at war as the legend, they attacked randomly again and again, and they have always occupied a dominant position in the war, and they can hold on for so long in such a passive situation because of the prince sitting in the camp, and other generals are estimated to have been defeated long ago.

However, after not seeing the dawn of victory for so long, it has been swallowed up by the night before dawn, and after the Zhirou army has the wolf warrior joining, wouldn't it be like a tiger with wings, so that the future war will become more difficult to fight, and the chance of victory will become more slim.

At this time, in the commander's tent, Jiang Li's prince Yu Yang's dark robe has not been removed from his body, since he collected the troops last night, he has been sitting in front of the copywriter, the long black straight hair that was erected by the jade crown is a little messy after a hard battle, showing a kind of evil handsome beauty, the deep eyes are full of bloodshot at this time because of improper rest, the sword eyebrows are obliquely inserted into the cloud temples, but the eyebrows are tightly frowned together, the lines are clearly visible, and the angular and hard facial contours look a little vicissitudes because of the uncleaned stubble, The bridge of the nose is still straight, the thin lips are slightly pursed, the bones of the hands are clearly and slender, one hand supports the forehead, and the other hand holds the list of soldiers who have just been reported to have died in this battle.

There are a group of generals standing below, all of them are carefully selected to be the pillars of a hundred battles, but at this time, no one made a sound, they all hung their heads silently, all of them looked low, there were piercing blood stains on their robes, some were their own and some were enemies, and two generals' arms were injured and hung around their necks with bandages, one arm was wrapped with bandages, one was crippled and was on crutches, and one lost his ears and there were blood stains around him that had not dried, obviously the wound he had just suffered in the last battle. But I didn't see him cry out in pain, his expression did not change much, and there was no painful look on his resolute face.

In the end, he couldn't stand such a low pressure, and a person with a somewhat reckless temperament stood out of the crowd, and if you looked closely, you would find that this person was a little familiar, it was the exotic strong man that Di Yue had seen in the inn before, and what was different from before was that the big knife behind him was unloaded before entering the boss's tent.

"Prince, Hampa feels that the enemy in this battle just took advantage of our unpreparedness to take us by surprise, although we suffered heavier losses than the enemy in this battle, but we should not fall into a panic just because of the snobbery of this game, as long as the enemy does not completely conquer Jiuchuan for a day, we should not give up, now is not the time to grieve, we should think about discussing a way to deal with the enemy later."

Hearing Hanba say this, the prince was a little interested, and raised his head to look at him.

"Do you have any great ideas?"

After all, he only came to the military camp to join the prince for a few days, because he was really good at kung fu, he was selected by the prince to serve as a small general, and this battle was also his first time participating in the war, although it was cruel, but he knew that the essence of war was for peace, otherwise he would not have come to join the prince.

But after all, I don't know enough, it's okay to fight the enemy single-handedly, when it comes to fighting with others, I haven't cultivated a tacit understanding with others, and I really haven't had an in-depth understanding of the affairs of the military camp, he just doesn't want everyone's mood to continue to be low, but in terms of the way to defeat the enemy, he is just a rough man, more than brave, and not enough scheming, he himself knows, but in the face of the gaze of other generals and the prince, he has to continue.

"I can't think of a way to defeat the enemy, but I know that man will win the day, and we Jiang Li, from the generals to the soldiers, are united, and I believe that we will win in the end."

Hampa patted his head and felt a little embarrassed that he couldn't think of a way to defeat the enemy, but he still said it with great momentum, after all, he also chose to defect to Prince Jiang Li after looking at the situation in the world, and he believed that the person he chose would definitely be the future co-lord of heaven and earth, and it was impossible to fold in this small battle of princes.

"I didn't expect Hampa to have such a time when you can speak so well, it's rare!"

Knowing that Hanba wanted to liven up the atmosphere, Ouyang Chen, the white-clothed boy on the side, stood up and responded.

Ouyang Chen is the prince's companion, the prime minister's youngest son, who has followed the prince since he was a child, very handsome, a pair of soul-grabbing peach blossom eyes, with a mysterious smile, enough to make people indulge in his smile, shaking the white feather fan in his hand, adding a bit of immortal atmosphere, fairy and evil.

"Boy Chen, I am your maternal uncle in terms of seniority, do you call the elders by their names so directly?"

swept away the previous discomfort, Hanba was angered by Ouyang Chen's title, this kid didn't respect his elder in private, and now the public is still so faceless, it's just a lack of smoke, so angry that Hanba blew his beard and glared at him, but because the prince was in front of him, it was not good to have a seizure.

"It's my uncle, why haven't I seen you since I was a child? I haven't heard my mother mention you, you say that you are my uncle or my uncle? I don't dare to admit this family. ”

Ouyang Chen actually heard his mother say that he had a younger brother, he was a martial arts idiot since he was a child, and when he was an adult, his parents pointed him out the family affairs, and wanted him to inherit the family business after he became a family, but he didn't expect that this kid actually ran away from marriage the night before he got married, and he never came back, and he never sent back a letter from home, and the family almost thought that he no longer existed, and his mother burst into tears every time he talked about the elderly grandfather and grandmother at home who had no children to take care of him, which made him naturally not have a good impression of this uncle.

"You don't recognize your uncle, are you still reasonable? That's how my sister taught you? If you don't believe us, we'll come to confess our relatives with blood! ”

"Dripping blood to recognize relatives? If you can figure it out, I'm not interested in playing such a retarded game with you. ”

Seeing that Hanba suffered a dumb loss, Ouyang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, disdainful of continuing to entangle with him, knowing that the prince didn't know that he and Hanba still had this kinship, according to the prince's understanding of himself, he could naturally think that Hanba was his uncle, but Hanba had been in the military camp for several days, and he hadn't thought that the prince had reported this matter.

"Your Highness, I will report this matter to you later, but at the moment the minister has an idea, if there is anything wrong, please discuss it with all of you."

Flicking his sleeves, Ouyang Chen crossed the Hanba to the very front position, respectfully bowed to the prince and the other generals around him, and then solemnly reported.

"I heard that the beasts are afraid of fire, even well-trained wolf warriors have no reason not to be afraid of fire, although fire attack is easy to cause greater uncontrollable hidden dangers, but fire attack is the best way for us at this time. When the ministers offered a fire attack to His Highness, you were worried that the fire would burn countless creatures on the mountains around Jiuchuan if it was uncontrollable, and the ministers followed your wishes and did not want to hurt innocent creatures, but now that you don't need this method, I'm afraid there is no better way. ”

After saying this, Ouyang Chen stepped aside, and at this time, the generals had changed from the jokes of their uncle and nephew at the beginning, to serious thinking, at this time, there was no longer a sad and negative atmosphere, everyone was thinking seriously.
