Song Zhe fled back to the north shore in embarrassment, kneeling in front of the generalissimo Ning Houye, the commander-in-chief of the land and water army.

"Ning Shuai, come here to ask for sin! Please punish Ning Shuai! ”

Ning Hou Ye is the one who was responsible for clearing out all factions at the Taishan Martial Arts Conference last time. From the commander of the forbidden army in the imperial city, he is now entrusted with such a heavy responsibility, which shows how much this King Jing values him, and it can also be seen that King Jing's employment is somewhat too cronyistic.

Of course, this man still has some skills. If he hadn't met a proud son of heaven like Gui Yunzheng last time, he might not have been able to return with all the victories.

After the last battle, Ning Dashuai has become enlightened and has made much progress. Seeing Song Zhe's appearance, he didn't laugh angrily, and personally left his seat to help him up.

"General Song, don't blame yourself, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, although our army is newly defeated, but the morale has not fallen, I will go with you to visit the battalions later, in order to boost the morale of the army! Let's rest for a few days, put our troops and horses in order, and fight again on another day! ”

You must know that in this attack on Xiangyang City, Ning Dashuai's troops are very sufficient. The loss of a thousand two thousand men and a few warships was in his consideration, and this was also a predictable result. After all, it was expected that the imperial navy was newly built and inexperienced, and the initial battle was frustrated.

Song Zhe didn't expect Ning Dashuai to have such a mind, and his previous apprehension gradually dissipated, and his heart was full of gratitude.

"Thank you for the grace of the marshal's non-punishment, obey Jun's orders, purge the soldiers and horses, and fight again on the next day, to be ashamed!"

"Haha, with General Song so determined, why worry about Xiangyang not breaking!"

Ning Dashuai returned to his seat with a smile, looking at Song Zhe with great expectations.

Naturally, he can't help it, there are too few generals in the north who know how to fight water, this Song Zhe and Lin Feihu, but they're babies! If you make people's heads move at every turn, then the battle will not be fought.

After dinner, Ning Dashuai did not break his promise, and came to Song Zhe's account with a group of guards.

"General Song, the morale of the army must not be disturbed, the morale must not fall, go, and go around the battalions to cheer up our soldiers!"

When Ning Dashuai said this, Song Zhe couldn't ask for it. He also knows the way of being a general, and knows that most soldiers must be very frustrated at this moment and need to be motivated very much.

He hurriedly summoned Lin Feihu, led the way with the two of them, and took Ning Dashuai to the naval camp.

Actually, it is said to be a camp, half on the ground, half on the boat. On the ship, in order to prevent the enemy from sneaking up at night, on the ground, it is also next to the warship, so that it can be met at any time. Of course, the ground forces of Marshal Ning already have thousands of troops. If you really want to sneak attack, it is not so easy, and when you get to the ground, Ning Dashuai has enough confidence.

This time, the land and water armies also paid attention to camping. Ning Dashuai didn't want to repeat Liu Xuande's mistake back then, and was burned to the company camp. The battalions echoed each other, but maintained an effective distance. Along the river, temporary forward posts were set up to prevent the other side from sneaking attacks. Once there is a change, immediately light the wolf smoke or sound the arrow to warn, and it will not be easily messed up.

Of course, this is also an overestimation of Xiangyang's strength. Although King Ping made precautions in advance, after all, the time had not yet come, and he was in the buffer zone of the war between the north and the south, so both sides had to parry, and he did not dare to easily transfer troops from all over the country. Now, with the danger of the Han River and the strong city, it is natural to have a good time, so this sneak attack will not happen for the time being.

As Song Zhe expected, the morale of each battalion was still slightly affected. Today, in terms of tactics, they are completely inferior, and many officers and men seem to still have lingering fears.

However, after Ning Dashuai's inspection, he saw that there was some hope in the eyes of the soldiers. The heavy compensation for the dead, the heavy reward for the brave, and the full confidence in the battle situation, these sets of combination punches were hit, and the soldiers seemed to feel that there was nothing that could not be fought after losing the first battle.

Wealth and danger are sought! I'm scared!
