Yan Yunzhou has been tormented by a high fever for so many days and has no appetite, so he only eats more chicken porridge made by Ning Yi, and he just has to eat other things, forcing himself to eat them.

It was rare to hear that he wanted to eat something, so Ning Ji immediately went out and ordered to use chicken soup directly.

At noon, the two of them ate very simply, some of the locals made refreshing pickles with chicken noodle soup, the rain a few days ago finally stopped, the sky cleared in the morning, at noon the sun came out of the yard to look at the warmth, Ning Ji looked at the soft collapse on the side, and then raised his hand to move out.

"It's sunny outside, I'll take you out to bask in the sun."

The air is good after the rain, there is no one else in the yard, and Yan Yunzhou can't always be held in the house, Yan Yunzhou smiled a little helplessly:

"I'm fine, I can go."

"I can't bear it."

Ning Zhi ignored his words, and without saying a word, he picked up the person's leg and grabbed his back and hugged the person, this kind of forced hugging was staged for the first time on Yan Yunzhou's body, he was shocked for a moment and then chose to lie flat, and his hand naturally hugged Ning Qi's neck.

"You lie down with me."

Ning Ji looked at the chaise longue, and finally came to his side, and finally the warm sun shone on the two of them, the warmth was harmonious, and the haze of the past few days seemed to have been dispelled a lot, he narrowed his eyes slightly, Yan Yunzhou's hand hugged him, the sun was shining on his legs, and the chill dissipated a lot for a while, and the breath in his voice seemed to be a little more lazy:

"Now that you've become a busy person, you're busy at night and during the day, and it's not easy for me to see each other."

Ning Yi was caught off guard by his rake, and he smiled when he looked at the accusation of the person next to him:

"Does the prince have a conscience? Who watched over you day and night the other day, and I just went out for a while? Just miss me? ”

It seemed that only in front of Yan Yunzhou, looking at him well, could he suppress some of the anxious feelings that were about to come up in his heart at that time.

"I miss you, when I came back that day, I was actually quite scared, afraid that I wouldn't be able to survive, afraid of scaring you."

Yan Yunzhou's hand tightened around Ning Jie's waist, Ning Qi hugged him back, didn't say anything, lowered his head and kissed his lips, just like the kiss two days ago, without the slightest restraint, as if only by feeling the softness and slight coolness of the lips, he confirmed that this person was indeed by his side.

Yan Yunzhou tried his best to respond to this kiss, Ning Qi was like an insecure little wolf, constantly gnawing and demanding, but with extreme restraint, he did not bite Yan Yunzhou's lip flap like the last time, but he still kept rubbing it, and his own pale lips were all rubbed red by him.

Yan Yunzhou's hand was on the back of Ning Qi's neck, as if pinching the back of a wolf cub's neck, the two of them were breathing a little heavy when they separated, Yan Yunzhou even gasped a little, he turned his head to breathe, the air filled his lungs again, he raised his eyes and looked at the person whose breathing had not yet calmed down and scolded with a smile:

"Why didn't you notice you like a wolf cub?"

Ning Yao's hand wrapped around the waist of the person in his arms, and after staying up all night, his eyes were still covered with some red bloodshots, so that when he stared at a person, he looked a little paranoid for no reason, he pulled Yan Yunzhou's broken hair that was blown by the wind, and his lips were slightly raised:

"Was it because I was too cowardly before, giving you the illusion that I was a little sheep?"

The low voice drifted in the wind, and Yan Yunzhou held his wrist, recalling the first time he saw Ning Qi:

"Yes, when I first saw you, I thought, where did you come from, such an interesting little sheep, a well-behaved for a while, and a fried hairy one, it turned out to be a wolf cub in sheep's clothing."

Since Yan Yunzhou was injured, Ning Qi has been insecure several times, as long as Yan Yunzhou is within his sight, he always likes to have physical contact, which will make his heart steady, he leaned over again, like a big cat, to Yan Yunzhou's neck.

The neck is the most vulnerable place on the human body, Yan Yunzhou has been on the battlefield for many years, and he is naturally extremely sensitive to this place, and he subconsciously wants to retreat, but Ning Ji once again deceived himself and kissed him on the side of his Adam's apple, Yan Yunzhou had no choice but to be used to him as a demon.

Yan Yunzhou has been on the battlefield all the year round, even if he has been sick for a year, he has been lying on the sickbed for a long time, and his skin is not white, Ning Zhi sucked hard at the person's Adam's apple, and there was a dark red blood mark, his breathing was slightly heavy, and he whispered in the man's ear:

"Isn't it good to be a wolf? I am willing to be the wolf king behind you, and I will fight wherever you point. ”

Ning Ji hugged the person in his arms tightly, it was really like the wolf king guarding the territory, he didn't allow the person in his arms to make any mistakes, he allowed him to suffer any more injuries, and he was willing to guard him behind him.

Yan Yunzhou felt Ning Ji's strong emotions, in the past, he only felt that Ning Ji should like him, and he had never felt such a strong concern in him, but when Ning Ji wanted to stand in front of him all the time, he was distressed.

He also kissed the corner of Ning Yao's lips, with a sense of reassurance:

"Well, the wolf king doesn't have to push himself too hard, I feel distressed."

Ning Ji didn't speak, just nested beside him, and the action of arching made Yan Yunzhou's heart soft, the big battle was coming, and there were not many peaceful afternoons like this.

Yan Yunzhou's spirit is poor, the sun is shining like this, he was confused after a while, Ning Yao's gaze was always fixed on his body, his gaze was paranoid and enthusiastic, staring at Yan Yunzhou's neck, there was an obvious red mark there, he wanted to let this person always be by his side, no one could take it away.

It wasn't until the wind was a little windy that Ning Ji went back to the house with the person on the soft collapse, and when Yan Yunzhou woke up in the afternoon, he patted Ning Ji and said:

"Pull the curtain apart."

Ning Qi turned his head sideways, and casually lifted the curtain, only then did he follow Yan Yunzhou's gaze and saw the map hanging on the wall, and knew that this person would not be quiet for a few days, and only after the outside stopped in the past few days that he could put his mind at ease, and it was obviously impossible to make him think about nothing, so he didn't stop him from looking at the map.

Yan Yunzhou leaned back and sat up and opened some mouths:

"Tomorrow's lookout should be almost built."

Ning Ji snorted:

"Sure enough, lying on the bed doesn't affect the prince's strategy."

The man on the couch laughed:

"I don't know what I made? Yu'an, tell me the truth, how far can you hit with your improved explosives and the lookout? ”

Yan Yunzhou knew that the last time Xiao Huai led his troops to raid was directed at him, although Wu Han had Xiao Huai's naval army in his hands, but their chances of crossing the river were not great, he expected that they would not act rashly after that time, so these days he can really relax and be locked in the house by Ning Yao, not asking about the affairs of the camp.

Ning Qi also sat down, with a cold look on the corner of his lips:

"I tested it in the morning, and it was about 300 meters, and it will be able to reach the other side, and it will be easier to hit their boats."

Yan Yunzhou looked at him as if he wanted to throw explosives directly into those boats, he held his hand, put it on the palm of his hand and tossed it, and laughed:

"The wolf king is angry, if you blow up those ships, we won't be able to get by?"

This sentence of the wolf king made Ning Ji lightly:

"Didn't this blow up? I know that it is not easy to build ships, and it is not a way to stalemate with the army of the imperial court in this way, they always have to cross the river, but they are not stupid, they will not dare to get in after two sneak attacks, not to mention that now they also boast that they have gunpowder in their hands, and most of them will not come directly. ”

Yan Yunzhou stared at a location of the river on the map opposite:

"The imperial court is not afraid to wait, but we, cough cough, we can't afford to wait, you see there, the upper reaches of the Fen River are much narrower than the downstream, it is not yet the rainy season, some places are actually not wide, we can't sit and wait like this, you see there, the place called the sack mouth, the opposite bank is on the west side of a dirt bag, I want to use a small boat to cross it at night, and set up artillery fire on the big dirt bag on the opposite bank."

Ning Qi looked at the place he said, Yan Yunzhou said that the place where Tubao was drawn on the map was the shape of a mountain, but listening to what he meant, it should not be a high mountain, he understood what Yan Yunzhou meant, they didn't have a big boat like Xiao Huai's hand at the moment, it was impossible to plant too many people to cross the river.

But the river does not mean that such a stalemate is in the hands of the other party, so the most important thing they should do now is to find a way to send the soldiers to the other side, and take advantage of the advantage of gunpowder to hold that area, as long as they can temporarily hide the other party's eyes and ears, so that more people can cross the river, they will have a chance to fight.

Ning Ji looked at the time, went out and brought in the medicine sent by Yang Sheng:

"Okay, drink the medicine first, and then think about it."

Yan Yunzhou took the medicine, Ning Ji looked up at the river, the place Yan Yunzhou said was still some distance away from them, but with such a narrow river, the people on the other side would inevitably guard against them, just when he was about to speak, Yan Yunzhou suddenly choked and coughed, the medicine bowl in his hand was a little unstable, and he hurriedly took the medicine bowl:

"What's wrong?"

"Ahem, no, it's okay, I'm choking..."

Ning Ji did it behind his back to help him smooth his chest, looking at the half bowl of medicine and making a rare joke:

"You don't want to drink medicine, do you?"

"Nonsense."

Yan Yunzhou calmed down his breath before speaking:

"Yu'an, you said that the cannon fire you made can ignite things, right?"

"Hmm."

"There, there is the fleet where Xiao Huai is docked, you can shoot your ammunition over, don't use too much, don't burn all the ships, the ship is their most important thing, once the ship catches fire, they don't care about anything else."

"Are you trying to make a noise?"

Indeed, if all the ships on this side are on fire, the army on the opposite side will probably panic, and there is nothing else to care about.

Ning Yi still didn't let Yan Yunzhou go out, but arrived at the big tent in the evening and said Yan Yunzhou's thoughts, Li Yan and the others immediately went to look at the map, Li Han clenched his fists and spoke:

"Your Highness, I am willing to lead the troops as the vanguard, as long as our artillery is transported, I will definitely be able to hold it for two hours."

Ning Yi sat aside:

"The prince just told me such an idea, he is not in good health, he can't think about it, how to arrange the troops has to be arranged by His Royal Highness, if we move this time, we must win, otherwise it will be difficult for us to have a second chance."

Li Yan's expression was slightly restrained, he also understood this truth, this time they hit the other party by surprise, they would not have thought that their artillery fire could directly hit the opposite side, this is already a very shocking and terrifying thing for the other party, they must seize such an opportunity to cross the river.

That night, Ning Yao discussed with them late into the night, and he drew the plan on paper, simulating the path of artillery fire from the lookout, and he seldom commented on the rest of the boats, how many people crossed the river, and how to defend after crossing the river, and listened very carefully from the sidelines.

This crossing the river is not a simple matter, if the army wants to be stationed on the opposite side, it must hold the river on that side, but Wu Han's hundreds of thousands of troops on the opposite side are not vegetarians, and the soldiers who cross the river need a place to rest, a place to make a fire to cook, and it is likely that the people who crossed the river were annihilated by Wu Han.

The plan was put forward again and again, but there were always flaws, and it was already very late when Ning returned to Yan Yunzhou's house:

"Coming back?"

Ning Yi hung his head and passed, and the people in the camp this night were gossiping, and the voice of the soldier was loud:

"This night, my head was buzzing."

Yan Yunzhou smiled:

"That's how it is in the army, you just get used to it."

Ning Qi was so tired today, he was busy until midnight yesterday, and today it was so late, he almost fell asleep after lying down, but the nightmare of visiting every night did not let him go, he slept very unsteadily, and frowned when he fell asleep.

The picture in the dream is very chaotic and bloody, rather than blaming himself for his own problems, during the day he is trying to restrain himself as much as possible, try to speak and act naturally, and not show the anxiety and fear in his heart, but once he falls asleep, the deepest emotions in his heart will still be exposed.

Yan Yunzhou woke up, his eyes in the darkness were full of worry, he patted Ning Qi gently as he did every day, and coaxed him softly, until the person in his arms quieted down again, he looked at the ground illuminated by the moon, but he lost his sleepiness a little.

The war still started after all, Ning blamed and let Dark Xuan guard this courtyard, Yan Yunzhou really didn't worry about him:

"I'll go with you, I don't do anything, I'm just looking at you, okay?"

He really didn't worry about Ning's state, but Ning's attitude was very resolute:

"No, you're in the courtyard, let the dark Xuan guard you, I'm fine, I'm just at the lookout, and they can't attack it."

Ning Qi strictly ordered the people at the door not to let Yan Yunzhou go out, this battle started from their side, the artillery fire on the lookout platform, Ning Ji used pulleys to hang it yesterday, and he climbed the ten-meter-high lookout platform step by step along the ladder.

It was false to say that he was not afraid, he climbed up step by step, and almost passed everything that had happened in these days in his mind, and he couldn't say whether he was trembling or excited in his heart, but he remembered that the person opposite had injured Yan Yunzhou.

He knew that his PTSD had not healed, and the dreams that tormented him every night had never gone away, but so what? He didn't believe that PTSD could drive him crazy, and he actually thought of a lot of ways to alleviate it for so many days, and the answer he got in the end was to face his fear.

When he kills someone, he will be afraid, and if he kills a few more, he will not be afraid, he has reached this era, to this battlefield of life and death, his subordinates have mercy, but no one has shown mercy to Yan Yunzhou's subordinates.

He stood on the high platform, dressed in black, like a Shura who came out of the night, the ship on the opposite side of the scope was clearly visible, the wind was hanging in his ears, he was waiting for the flag below to fall, and the red flag falling meant that the war had really begun.

Ning Yi added an incendiary bomb loaded with white phosphorus to the cannon, aimed at the ship on the opposite bank, he picked the largest one, that ship was probably the command ship, and as the flag fell, the cannon fire came out of the rifling line, and three shells fell in the air.

Countless soldiers below were watching this scene, at a distance of 300 meters, in the case of a large scope and a large target, it was not very difficult to hit, Ning Yao's eyes did not leave the scope, he watched the few artillery fires fall with a roar.

In an instant, a huge explosion resounded on both sides, TNT, which can be called the king of explosives in this era, shocked everyone's senses and nerves, it was a power that is difficult for people in this era to describe in words, destroying the world, white phosphorus also burned instantly, emitting green flames, and a large amount of white smoke came out.

The entire scope of vision was occupied by the billowing white smoke, and the ships that were blown up were quickly ignited, and there was a commotion in the military camp opposite, and Ning Ji looked at the scene in front of him coldly.

In the light of the fire, he could vaguely see the people who were also on fire, constantly jumping into the river, and he could see those carrying buckets, trying in vain to put out the fire, he could feel the panic of the other party, panic, disbelief, but the game had just begun.

He's not going to burn all the ships, he's going to come one by one, he's going to have enough time to put out the fires, and then watch the other ships get set on fire one by one.

Xiao Huai's face was already pale, he pulled the Xuanwei Daoist on the side, and shouted in a hoarse voice:
