He immediately walked outside and said to the soldiers, "It was my wife, my family and friends, and the imperial guards from the capital who sent us the cotton-padded clothes. They went without food, water, or rest for days and nights, just to get to the battlefield as quickly as possible. As a result, when they were about to arrive, they were almost wiped out by the rebels."
Hearing this, all the soldiers showed angry looks.
Li Jingchen continued, "We can't let them bully us like this. We must avenge our previous humiliation tomorrow."
Everyone was in high spirits.
After boosting the morale of the troops, Li Jingchen asked the cook to prepare some hot meals and brought them into the tent. Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw the hot meals, and they began to gobble them up without caring about their image at all.
Seeing this scene, Li Jingchen felt distressed. He must have suffered a lot of grievances and must be exhausted from the journey.
After finishing his meal and preparing to go to bed, Li Jingchen took off his golden armor.
Jiang Tuantuan asked, "Why did you take it off?"
"If you wear it, I'm afraid you'll get hurt."
Jiang Tuan Tuan quickly pushed it away. "I'm not going to the battlefield. I'm in the rear, how could I get hurt? Wear it properly and don't take it off again, otherwise I will be angry with you."
In the end, Li Jingchen put it back on.
On the second day, after discussion, they decided to attack the opposing rebels.
They must have thought that we were too weak now and were preparing to destroy us with one blow. When they all rushed in, the remaining 30,000 soldiers broke through from both sides and surrounded them.
When the rebel army was approaching the city, snowflakes began to fall from the sky again. The previous snow had not yet completely melted, and now it started to fall again.
The rebel generals were even happier because it started snowing again, which was just the right time to freeze them to death.
The war began, and the rebels immediately gathered all their forces to attack, not realizing the seriousness of the problem at all, until 30,000 soldiers came out from both sides, each wearing a brand new cotton coat.
The rebels then realized that they had been tricked, and the people they sent out to intercept them failed.
But it was too late to order a retreat. This time the rebels were defeated completely. 20,000 of their troops were directly wiped out. Although we suffered some injuries on our side, our losses were half of theirs.
This time it was a great victory!
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and those who fell to the ground were immediately buried by the heavy snow. Looking at the scene outside, with corpses all over the ground, Jiang Tuantuan felt heartbroken. It would be great if the war could not happen.
Li Jingchen went forward and hugged her, saying gently, "Stop looking and go back. It's snowing again and it's very cold outside."
"good."
This victory was also thanks to the cotton-padded clothes sent by Jiang Tuantuan and his team. All the soldiers were very respectful when they saw Jiang Tuantuan and his three companions.
The heavy snow began to fall, and a debate broke out in the army. Some people thought that they should take advantage of this opportunity to pursue the victory and wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop, while the other gang thought that they should wait until the snow melted before fighting.
The two sides argued endlessly.
In the end, more people chose to press on and pursue the victory, and the minority obeyed the majority.
It was immediately decided to attack tonight.
Li Jingchen asked someone to escort Jiang Tuantuan and his group away from here quickly, but was refused. Since they were already here, why should they leave?
In the end, Jiang Tuantuan was defeated and the four of them were allowed to stay.
Jiang Tuantuan asked, "How are you going to fight next?"
"A surprise attack tonight, and try to take over Dongyi Kingdom."
"good."
Before night fell, Jiang Tuantuan asked the elf to detect the enemy's intelligence. The elf's distance was three thousand meters, which was enough to detect it.
It turned out that all the soldiers had retreated to Dongyi Country and were recuperating. However, seeing that the relationship between those soldiers and the people of Dongyi Country was not harmonious, the local people of Dongyi Country should not want the war to happen.
Late at night, the soldiers set out secretly and caught them off guard. The rebels did not expect that they would still have the energy to fight at night after just fighting during the day, and they suffered heavy losses this time.
The troops were directly increased, the Dongyi Kingdom was occupied, and all the remaining soldiers retreated to the Changman Kingdom.
Everyone cheered.
But we can't relax now. Li Jingchen immediately ordered people to reinforce the wall of Dongyi Kingdom, because it was separated from the Changman Kingdom opposite by a river, which was really dangerous.
At this time, Mr. Zhou also returned to the capital and immediately went to the palace to see His Majesty. He told him everything that had happened in Jiangnan and emphasized on praising the contributions made by Jiang Tuantuan.
The emperor was very happy and rewarded Mr. Zhou with many things.
At this time, the carrier pigeon also came over and opened the note, which said that the Dongyi Kingdom had been conquered.
The emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time wrote a letter and asked a carrier pigeon to deliver it as soon as possible.
The letter told them to take down the Changman Kingdom in one fell swoop.
The territory of Changman Kingdom is not large, only the size of five capital cities. The emperor has long wanted to unify them, but he has never had the opportunity. Now that the war has started, he will just take care of them all.
Li Jingchen thought so too. If he kept the Changman Kingdom, there would definitely be endless troubles. It would be better to recapture it directly.
The emperor also sent people to deliver food and fodder to them to ensure that there was no shortage of supplies in the rear.
At the same time, doctors and imperial physicians were summoned to go to the front line, and those who were willing to go volunteered to sign up.
After this order was issued, almost no one was willing to go. Only Hua He and Su Qingming signed up. After all, this was a matter of life and death.
After the two of them took the lead, two more doctors reported their lives. When Meng Zifan heard that Hua He was going to the battlefield, he packed up his luggage without saying a word and followed her. The five of them went to the battlefield with the army.
Half a day after the five of them set out, Mingman also clamored to go with them, but the emperor certainly wouldn't agree.
Ming Man did not give up and ran to the emperor and said, "Dongyi Kingdom has been conquered. The people in the city must be very scared. At this time, someone must go to comfort them, and my daughter is the best person because she is a princess!"
I have to say that this is indeed true. If there is such a person going, it will definitely be of great help in calming people's hearts, but it is also very dangerous and can easily be assassinated.
The emperor still didn't want Mingman to take the risk.
Ming Man knelt before the emperor and said sincerely, "Father, I have enjoyed the best life since I was a child, respected by the world. When the country is in trouble, I cannot close my eyes and pretend not to see it. Just let me go."
In the end, the emperor hesitated for a long time and finally agreed to her request.
Mingman had packed her luggage long ago and took the pearls and jade to catch up with Hua He and his group.
A day later, the two groups met. Hua He saw Ming Man had also come, and the two hugged each other excitedly.
The four good sisters can finally get together again.
On the battlefield, because of the heavy snow, the road ahead was almost invisible. The people of Dongyi Kingdom were frightened every day, so they stopped the war.
