Nan Jinzhao, who was the first to propose not to use gunpowder on the battlefield, was the first to break this rule.
The soldiers of Yanbei could almost see what the others would do after Nan Jinzhao took the lead in violating the ban on the use of gunpowder...
No need to think about it, you will definitely follow it.
They don't know the others for the time being, but what they can be sure of is that they will definitely follow suit and use gunpowder.
We can't blame them for not being firm in their stance, nor can we blame them for following the trend. The situation is really forcing them to have no choice.
They were rivals with Nan Jinzhao and were sworn enemies on the battlefield. It made no sense that Nan Jinzhao used gunpowder, but they didn't use it when fighting Nan Jinzhao, right?
This is so unfair to them!
They all know the power of gunpowder. Even if they have enough lives to fill it on the battlefield, why should they still abide by the agreement and use the lives of soldiers to fill it when the other party breaks the contract?
They're not that great.
But now, Nan Jinzhao is actively attacking with gunpowder, and all they can do... is to retreat.
"Retreat!" This time, the order to retreat was no longer issued by Nagasawa, but by the deputy commander.
The Yanbei Army has a commander and a deputy commander. Unlike the commander who takes the lead in attacking, the deputy commander always guards the rear. This is also just in case.
After all, the commanders and generals who were charging forward suffered a very high proportion of battle losses.
A country cannot be without a master for a day, nor can an army be without a commander-in-chief, the person who gives the command.
As soon as Nan Jinzhao launched the attack, the deputy commander ordered the troops to retreat. Because they retreated in time, they faced Nan Jinzhao's attack and the losses were not great. At least it was not like before, where the gunpowder killed a large area.
The Yanbei army chose to retreat without fighting, but Nan Jinzhao refused to give up. He ordered his men to continue chasing and kill the Yanbei army.
"Listen clearly! I want Xiao Changze's life! Do you understand? Xiao Changze must not leave here alive, do you hear that?" Nan Jinzhao knew very well how valuable Xiao Changze was alive, and he also knew that if he captured Xiao Changze alive, what would he do?
What to get, but...
He knew better that as the only son of King Yanbei, Xiao Changze must be protected by experts. It would be almost impossible to capture Xiao Changze alive through those layers of experts.
On the other hand, it is not that difficult to take Xiao Changze's life.
So what if there are experts protecting Xiao Changze?
Gunpowder is extremely destructive. A drop of gunpowder can kill a piece of it. Even if the people around Xiao Changze risk their lives to protect him, it is not too difficult for him to blow up Xiao Changze.
Xiao Jiuan ruined his foundation, ruined his future, ruined his southern border, and ruined his dream of unifying the four kingdoms. Now...
He wants Xiao Jiuan's only heir to die!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will definitely take Xiao Changze's life." When the soldiers in southern Xinjiang heard Nan Jinzhao's words, they were not panic-stricken, only excited and excited.
They knew very well what Xiao Changze represented and what awaited them after killing Xiao Changze, but they were fearless.
They were driven away by the King of Yanbei like lost dogs, hiding in various places. They always kept this hatred in their hearts and could not forget it.
They want King Yanbei to regret it for the rest of his life!
With the target to kill, Nan Jinzhao's men became even more excited. They screamed one by one and rushed forward desperately with gunpowder. Some of them were not afraid of death. They tied gunpowder to their bodies and lit it early to show their fearlessness.
He rushed into the Yanbei army with all his strength...
"Boom..." Gunpowder was tied to his body. When the gunpowder exploded, the man was blown into flesh and blood and became a blur. The Yan Bei army around him had no time to hide or throw the man out.
"These people are simply crazy." Yan Beijun was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
Facing this group of life-threatening lunatics in southern Xinjiang, they can't be as crazy as the people in southern Xinjiang and exchange human lives for human lives, right?
This is not what their Yanbei Army would do...
Especially when they heard that the target of this group of lunatics in southern Xinjiang was Nagasawa, they did not dare to mess around.
"Protect the young master and retreat immediately." Without thinking, the deputy commander asked people to protect Nagasawa in the middle and surrounded him layer by layer. However, as soon as he made a move, Nagasawa refused.
It's not that he's arrogant and not afraid of death, nor that he can't see his identity clearly, but...
"You surrounded me in the middle, didn't you make the target more obvious? The people in southern Xinjiang didn't know where I was before, so they could only blow up randomly. Now that you surround me, they know it. Gunpowder is nothing else, they don't know where I am.
You need to get close to me, and you don’t need to fight in layers. You just need to aim at the target and throw it. The tighter you surround me, the faster I will die, right?"
As the prince's only son and heir, Nagasawa knew very well how important his life was, and he also knew very well that if something happened to him, his father and mother would collapse.
Therefore, he must survive, even if it means sacrificing more people, he must survive.
Sometimes, there is inequality between people.
On the battlefield, if ordinary soldiers die in battle, or even the commander dies in battle, it will only make the soldiers angry, but if he dies on the battlefield...
His parents will definitely go crazy, and then the whole world will go crazy.
He had seen his father and mother beating Queen Ji Xin. If he hadn't interceded for Queen Ji Xin, Queen Ji Xin would have been beaten to death by his mother.
That mother-in-law looked so gentle and moved her hands, it was so scary.
Nagasawa's words are not unreasonable, but...
If Nagasawa is ignored and protected, the deputy commander cannot do it.
Nagasawa's life and death is more important than all of their lives. All of them can die, but not Nagasawa.
"I'll take Nagasawa and leave first. You guys stop the southern Xinjiang army." The little wolf boy saw the deputy commander's difficulty and stood up.
There are some things that he can say but Nagasawa cannot.
For example, if Nagasawa had to speak out about things like leaving first, he would inevitably not be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, saying that Nagasawa left the soldiers alone and only focused on escaping for his own life.
If this word spreads, not to mention it will be detrimental to the morale of the army and will shake the morale of the army. Even if it spreads, Nagasawa's reputation will not be good.
Nagasawa is the one who will inherit the throne in the future, and his reputation is particularly important.
Without giving Nagasawa a chance to say no, the deputy commander quickly agreed: "With Young Master Mo protecting the young master, I feel relieved."
"I can't leave alone. I can be in front. The front is safe. Even if people in southern Xinjiang use gunpowder, they can't get through the crowds and kill in front of me." Nagasawa knew that his safety was important, but he knew better.
, as the successor of Yan Beijun, what should he do?
He knew that his father could make the Yanbei army follow him with all his heart. Even if his father disappeared, the Yanbei army would stay there and wait for his father. This was because his father never left him behind.
My own soldiers will always take the lead and stand in front to protect the Yanbei army...
He could not be as brave as his father, so he could only try his best to advance and retreat with the Yanbei army.
Of course, this is on the premise of ensuring his safety... (To be continued)
