Chapter 889: Getting Angry
Li Junyi's whole body was filled with dissatisfaction, but Jinghe refused to speak, so he could only watch angrily from the side.
There was a large, uneven open space outside the gate of Yongshan County. At this moment, the open space was illuminated by the torches and oil lamps of both sides as bright as day, and it was not as Li Junyi said that no sparks could be seen.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Junyi watched the fighting on the battlefield become more and more intense. The soldiers on both sides seemed to be willing to die, and they didn't know why they were so bloodthirsty.
"What's going on with them?" Li Junyi turned and asked his personal bodyguard.
When he goes to the battlefield, he must bring some people with him to protect him, otherwise the swords and knives are merciless, and if an accident happens, he will have nowhere to cry.
"I don't know." The guard shook his head, very serious, and didn't look very smart.
Because they had no money, Li Junyi's family lived a very frugal life, and even the personal bodyguards they hired were not very powerful.
In fact, the order Jinghe gave just now was to launch a fierce attack at all costs.
Although he didn't know why the Hubei Northern Army did not use the legendary gunpowder weapons, it did not prevent him from seizing the opportunity to capture Yongshan County.
On the other hand, the Hubei Northern Army discovered something was wrong during the battle.
"Are they crazy and don't want to die?"
"If you're stupid or not, just hit me. Hit me hard back!"
Both sides were furious, and the Hubei Northern Army also went on a killing spree.
Liang Cheng, who was watching from the city wall, frowned at the situation below. These old hands must have not been training well in the past few days!
"Tan Cheng," Liang Cheng suddenly said, "Send a message to the new recruits camp immediately and have Old Deng bring over all those who arrived in the second half of last year."
After the advent of gunpowder weapons, many troops in northern Hubei began to neglect training.
Liang Cheng knew very well what they were thinking. They just wanted to wait for the arsenal to produce more gunpowder weapons and equip them with them. Then they wouldn't have to fight so hard, and they wouldn't have to train so hard.
Those fools don’t think about it. Relying on weapons is not a long-term solution. The strength of personal strength is the basis for winning the battle.
Sheng Ze also noticed something was wrong and was slightly surprised that Sheng Zhan had found someone who could lead the troops this time.
"Your Highness, do you really want to reveal your identity?" After everything was arranged, Liang Cheng looked at Sheng Ze and asked.
He didn't want Sheng Ze to reveal his identity at this time, as that would be too dangerous. He would only feel a little relieved after he had at least taken control of the six northwestern states.
Sheng Ze looked down at the battlefield, "Only by letting them know I'm here can the casualties of this battle be minimized."
"But look at them," Liang Cheng pointed down and said, "how could they treat us as citizens of the Great Jin?"
He knew that it was actually Sheng Zhan who abandoned the entire Ezhou, but he didn't expect that he was so cruel and could actually do it.
Sheng Ze's jaw tightened, and after a long while he said, "Three days. If they don't withdraw their troops after three days..."
He will reveal his identity in three days, and then it will depend on the other party's decision.
Liang Cheng knew what he was thinking and sighed secretly. He also didn't have the heart to kill his comrades, but they didn't seem to appreciate it. The desperate fighting style was clearly forcing them to use gunpowder weapons.
Sure enough, after a while someone came to Liang Cheng and asked for fire support.
"General, please let the people from the Firearms Battalion go! Only if they go up, our casualties will go down!"
