Regardless of Jiang Xian or Zhou, they have not had any merit in these years, but they all want to make contributions.
Of course, Your Majesty will not compete with them for merit. When the time comes to discuss merit, His Majesty, as the commander-in-chief, will definitely not be named in the merit book. Li Xingchen certainly does not have the Zhu family's habit of recording merit for himself as a general. But His Majesty is not here, so it is forbidden.
The generals of the Guards will definitely be there.
Not to mention anything else, it is Chun Yucen and Lu Shixiong who are taking turns leading the Imperial Guards now. Which one of the Chun Yu family and Lu family is more economical? When the time comes, they will rush to kill them with all their strength, and credit will be given to them.
Book Zhou Zhou and Jiang Xian may have to stay behind.
Therefore, the two men were actually unwilling to bring reinforcements. Today, Zhou Zhou rushed to the front several times, and Jiang Xian also opened fire from behind, hoping to break through the enemy's defense line, but in the end they were defeated.
"We will continue the battle tonight and make a surprise attack!" Zhou gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "Haven't all the navy ships already withdrawn? Those damn Zhou dogs should not have thought that we would take advantage of the night to fight back."
"Today the soldiers used their lives during the day, and I saw it. Are you sure?" Jiang Xian said in a deep voice. As he spoke, he looked around. The meaning of his words was of course very clear. The soldiers are also very tired now. Kill them again.
Will the battlefield be unsustainable? If they are defeated again, it will be more likely to cause chaos in the night. The loss of soldiers and horses is still a trivial matter. Once the morale is frustrated, then it will be impossible to fight in front of His Majesty. Isn’t it the same?
Give up the credit?
Zhou Deng was silent for a moment, but he quickly raised his head again: "I don't believe it anymore. The enemy on the opposite side is really indestructible. They really have no fear at all in front of artillery and muskets. The big Han soldiers will use their lives again. I will personally
If we lead the army to charge forward, we don't believe that we can't break the camp. Even if we can't capture the entire north bank camp, we must at least break its iron ropes so that the navy ships can enter! I won't be willing to give in until I give it a try!"
Jiang Xian turned around directly, the expression on his face became ferocious, and grabbed Zhou's shoulders: "If you don't want to give in, do you think I will be willing to do it, but what should I do if I have lost all my troops?"
"Looking ahead and looking behind can lead to great things?!" Zhou didn't flinch at all, looking at him with wide eyes, "Should we tell His Majesty after he comes that the opponent is really powerful and that you and I are useless and can't defeat it at all?!
Glory, the glory of being a soldier of the Han Dynasty, where did you put it? Since there is still a chance, I will not give up!"
Jiang Xian suddenly laughed.
"Why are you laughing?" Zhou said angrily.
"How brave!" Jiang Xian said, stroking his hands, "I just wanted to test your mind. In that case, we might as well give it another try! Don't forget what I just said!"
Zhou was stunned for a moment, looking at Jiang Xian's instant change of attitude, knowing that what he said was true, he couldn't help but sigh: "If you forget, I will be a bastard!"
"You are a bastard!" Jiang Xian laughed.
Zhou did not argue with him this time, and looked straight to the north. The enemy's camp was brightly lit, seeming to provoke Zhou.
"What bullshit northern barbarians, let's see if I don't defeat you!" Zhou stretched out his hand, clenched his fists, and laughed.
Jiang Xian next to him also laughed.
His smile faded, his expression turned solemn, and he waved his hand on Zhou Yi: "Bang the drum, gather the generals!"
Jiang Xian bowed his hands to him and ran towards the dock first. The Navy couldn't wait for the Land Division to gather before setting off.
And Zhou shouted: "After this battle, I'll treat you to a drink!"
"I remember!" Jiang Xian's voice came from afar.
The sound of drums followed Jiang Xian's footsteps the next moment.
"Gathering drums?" Li Lian'er also stretched out his hand to open the tent curtain at this time.
The entire camp had turned from the calm just now to boiling in an instant. A famous soldier rushed out of the camp, and the soldiers who were supporting each other and preparing to rest also quickly gathered back to the place where the drum sound came from.
Hearing drums and preparing for war was an iron rule of the Han military, and it was engraved in the bones of every soldier, so they gathered almost as a conditioned reflex.
"The reinforcements haven't arrived yet, do we have to fight first?" Chen Xuanhua walked out and stood behind Li Lian'er, his beautiful eyebrows tightened.
Behind her, all the wounded soldiers subconsciously stopped shouting, and everyone listened quietly to the sound of drums or the heavy footsteps like rain. In the huge military camp, no one shouted loudly, and the soldiers just gathered like a stream.
into a river, finally converging under the red flag.
"If reinforcements arrive, it won't be their turn to fight." Li Lian'er explained directly.
It is well known that the Imperial Guards are bent on fighting. When the Imperial Guards attack, Zhou and the others will naturally have to step aside, not to mention that they have already been fighting fiercely for several days.
After a pause, Li Lian'er added: "After a series of fierce battles, the opponent is also at the end of a strong crossbow. Now based on the morale of our army, it should be slightly better than that of the opponent. Therefore, in terms of the art of war, fighting with exhausted troops is not the best.
There is no taboo. The next thing to compete is the will of both parties. Whoever can persist in sleeping will win. The right time and place are no longer important at this time. What is important is the people."
Chen Xuanhua was silent for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Can you?"
"It's time." Li Lian'er looked at the Han army soldiers gathering more and more under the night, "You have to be able to do it even if you can't!"
Li Lian'er's words were sonorous and powerful.
Chen Xuanhua's heart was shaken, and the third tom had stopped abruptly.
In the huge military camp, except for the wounded soldiers, sentry soldiers and the guard team, there was no one else.
The Han army did not light more torches. From a distance, thousands of people could be seen faintly against the backdrop of several fires.
But the square formation is very neat.
Chen Xuanhua was silent.
This was the first time she had seen a bloody battlefield and the soldiers who had been fighting bloody battles on the front lines for the Han Dynasty.
War is terrible, but these people in front of you are like a wall between yourself and the war, making the war less terrible.
Chen Xuanhua, who has been well-dressed and well-educated since childhood, has never been as proud as he is today for being able to stand behind these soldiers. She dare not imagine what she would face without these people?
The mountains and rivers are broken, the country is ruined and the family is destroyed?
Even if I have a noble status, even if I was once the princess of Nanchen and now the concubine of the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that I will either become a trophy of the enemy, or simply be destroyed in the blood and fire, right?
But we can't expect all enemies to have the same forgiving heart as Li Xingchen. Just because Li Xingchen didn't kill the Nanchen royal family doesn't mean others won't.
How can there be peace in this troubled world? The life of Xianyun Yehe is just that somewhere invisible to the naked eye, among the barren mountains and desolation, there are people fighting hard, blocking the flying arrows with their own flesh and blood.
