Chapter 301: Thrown into the Sea
Seeing that he had misunderstood, Jiang Tangtang explained, "I believe that with your previous experience and all the preparations you've made, you'll definitely be able to capture Nan'an this time. I wasn't worried about the war just now, I just had some things that I couldn't figure out."
"What's the matter?" Lu Shiyan lowered his eyes and looked at her.
Jiang Tangtang wondered how to ask him about the golden eagle. Given his intelligence, her excuses would be useless. But if she asked about her own affairs, she would have to explain too much.
Moreover, the war is about to begin, and these things will definitely distract him.
After thinking it over, Jiang Tangtang finally said nothing. She smiled and said, "It's nothing serious. I just encountered a few questions while reading. There's no rush. We'll talk about it in detail after this battle."
Lu Shiyan looked at her smiling face and didn't ask any more questions, but he still insisted on his idea and wanted Jiang Tangtang to stay on the island along the way.
Jiang Tangtang understood his concerns, but she also had her own ideas. "Don't worry, I may not be able to help you in any way, but I can definitely protect myself. Just focus on the battle and don't worry about me."
"I know you can protect yourself, I'm just worried that you can't adapt to the battlefield..." Lu Shiyan wanted to explain to her that the bloodiness of the battlefield was far from comparable to encountering a few assassins.
Thinking about his first time on the battlefield killing people, watching the two armies fighting and chopping off each other's heads like chopping vegetables in the field, he couldn't sleep well for half a year.
He didn't want his delicate wife to have nightmares every night.
Jiang Tangtang said firmly: "I can adapt."
She has traveled to this world for so many years, and it is no longer the peaceful world of modern times.
There are many things that are unavoidable when it comes to creating your ideal world.
Seeing Jiang Tangtang's insistence, Lu Shiyan finally had no choice but to compromise. However, when the war started, he still arranged for Jiang Tangtang to be as far away from the battlefield as possible.
With the experience accumulated from the previous time, the soldiers brought by Lu Shiyan quickly gained the upper hand this time.
Moreover, Nan'an, like the Western Rong of the Great Zhou, was also facing a drought this year. Nan'an already had little arable land, and after experiencing such a drought, the soldiers in the army would have long since run out of food.
But the soldiers from Lingnan have been fed by Jiang Tangtang with food full of spiritual energy in the space, and they are all strong and healthy.
They were indeed unfamiliar with naval warfare, and the unique geographical features of Nan'an Kingdom made it difficult for them to find their way.
Now that he had some experience in naval warfare and had a good grasp of the terrain of Nan'an, Lu Shiyan and his troops quickly broke through Nan'an's defensive fortress and landed on the island.
The soldiers of Nan'an lost the natural advantage of the terrain and were no match for the strong soldiers of Lingnan.
Looking at the neatly dressed and strong soldiers in front of them, the soldiers from Nan'an asked, "Isn't there a drought in your area?"
Having just won a great battle, the soldiers were happy and didn't hesitate to say a few words, "Of course there is a drought."
Wu Gong finished speaking, took out his water bag and took a big sip of water. This water was boiled by his wife with dried fruits, and it tasted fruity and was particularly invigorating.
The prisoner smelled the faint fruity fragrance in the air, watched Wu Gong gulp down water with his Adam's apple trembling constantly, and actually swallowed a mouthful of saliva at a very inappropriate time.
He asked the question in his mind again, "But why don't you look like you've been hit by a drought?"
Before Wu Gong could reply, a captive who had just been bound said angrily, "They must be fed fish from the sea. Those are our fish, and they stole them, so our soldiers are starving. If they hadn't stolen the fish from the sea, our soldiers would have been so strong."
"Bullshit!" Wu Gong walked over and kicked him hard in the chest. "The sea is so big, if you have the guts, go fish in it yourself. You're not capable, but you get jealous when you see us catching fish, stealing our fishing boats and then you have the nerve to turn the tables on us."
"That's right. If you dare to rob us, you will have to bear our wrath!" Peng Yang felt very proud. He used to hide behind the scenes and do those shady things for the Emperor of the Great Zhou, but he never felt such a sense of pride.
He raised his voice and said, "Our general will lead the troops to destroy your tiny country today."
The soldier who had been kicked in the chest earlier spat out blood and said, "Don't dream. Do you know how many troops Nan'an has? Soon a large army will come to encircle you. When that happens, you will die on this island."
"Then tell me, how many troops do you have in Nan'an?" Peng Yang took the opportunity to arrest someone and interrogate him.
The prisoner knew he had spoken out of turn and quickly shut up.
Peng Yang was not in a hurry. After all, once these prisoners were captured, they would be interrogated by special personnel.
Although they have always pretended that they were unable to swallow their anger because their ships were hijacked, so they sent troops to destroy the Nan'an Kingdom.
But most of the soldiers who went on this mission knew that they had another mission, which was to find the general's younger brother.
Lu Shiyan did send someone to interrogate and inquire about Lu Shili's whereabouts, but the results were very unsatisfactory.
At this time, a soldier was carefully reporting the situation to Lu Shiyan. "The soldiers in Nan'an have admitted that they were indeed pirates who robbed our fleet. However, the drought in Nan'an is even worse than ours, and they don't have a habit of taking prisoners to work. It is said that after robbing the ship and the property on board, they killed the people on board and threw them into the sea to feed the fish."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but secretly look at Lu Shiyan's expression.
He was worried that the general would be furious after hearing the news of Lu Shili's death, but the expression on Lu Shiyan's face remained consistent, and it was difficult to detect too many emotions.
However, this pause seemed longer than usual. After a long while, he heard the general ask him in a normal tone, "Have you found out the strength of Nan'an's troops?"
The soldier continued, "A few prominent leaders saw that the situation was not going well and quickly fled with their group.
We hurriedly led our men in pursuit, but the enemy had been prepared and drugged the horses that couldn't be carried away. Our army had no horses, and we thought we couldn't catch up, but fortunately, my wife helped us at the critical moment..."
"Madam, can you help me?" Lu Shiyan used to care about Jiang Tangtang from time to time, but as the war became more and more intense, he gradually couldn't spare the energy to care too much about Jiang Tangtang.
The soldier was still feeling dizzy thinking about the spectacular sight of Jiang Tangtang suddenly summoning a group of tigers. He said, "Madam summoned divine tigers from the Heavenly Palace, but many soldiers were afraid to ride them. In the end, only the eldest son and Madam rode the tigers together to catch up."
Then the soldier saw that the general, who had been so calm just now, had a changed expression. "You're going to let them catch up?"
