Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 473 The Eve of the Great War
The moonlight was dim, and there was no sound in the woods. All the Shu soldiers slept in their clothes and did not make any sound.

There was no bonfire, and the horses were not brought close, so the place where the Shu army was lurking was very quiet.

Su Chen and Peng Qingqing sat together back to back, looking at the bright moon above the mountains and forests, both a little lost in thought.

Who would have thought that from bickering when they first met, to now being in love with each other, fighting side by side?

It all seemed like a dream, unreal.

"You said, can we win tomorrow?"

"Yes!" Although Su Chen felt guilty, but at this time, he wanted to give himself confidence.

In history, the Shu army suffered a disastrous defeat, and did not set up an ambush here.

Since Su Chen brought troops here to ambush the Song army, it represented a change of direction.

This is a broken game!

Only if the Kingdom of Shu does not fall, can the Southern Tang be stabilized.

And Southern Tang is where he took root. There are several of his confidante, officials Han Xizai and Xu Xuan who appreciate him, and his wealth, so he is a bit reluctant to leave Southern Tang.

Since God let him appear in Nantang, then he has to do his part for Nantang, unless Nantang loses him first.

But now it seems that it is too late for the Southern Tang royal family to favor him, so they should not fail him.

"However, I feel that the whole army has no confidence, and you are the only one who has the most confidence!"

Peng Qingqing shared her intuitive experience.

Although she has a straightforward personality, she is not stupid, especially when traveling with Su Chen, her mind seems to have matured a lot, she is no longer the reckless temper she used to be, and she can see things deeply.

Probably because I have learned more about the art of war, and I like to think about everything, and I have grown significantly.

Peng Qingqing could tell that the Shu army was a little afraid of the Song army. Although there were 1 soldiers and horses against them, there were [-] soldiers and horses here, but in a real fight, the outcome was unpredictable.

It is estimated that even the second prince himself has no idea.

"Qingqing, we can only win tomorrow, otherwise, we may not be able to get away. Unless we stand at the end from the beginning to the end, and if the situation is not good, we will leave directly."

Su Chen expressed this idea.

Peng Qingqing shook her head when she heard the words: "But I know what kind of person you are, and you definitely won't be able to do it. Since you promised the second prince to help him resist the Song army, then at the last moment, you will definitely rush forward!"

That's right, this is Su Chen, who usually seems to have no temper, elegant and modest, and easy to talk to, but once he gets serious, he is also very rigid!
He promised to help the second prince Meng Xuanyu, at this critical moment, he would never turn around and be afraid, this is not Su Chen's character.

Peng Qingqing seemed to see through this point, so she was worried at this time.

The longer we get along, the more Peng Qingqing understands him.

Su Chen didn't speak, turned around, looked at Peng Qingqing's cheek, and said: "I will do my best tomorrow, if it really can't be saved, I can only settle for the next best thing, there is still a line of defense at Jianmen Pass, there is no need to slam it here No matter what, we will return to Runzhou alive, and you promised to marry me in three years' time."

Hearing what he said, Peng Qingqing felt relieved, and was worried that Su Chen would admit death, and if he insisted on following the Shu army to fight to the end, he would suffer.

After all, in Peng Qingqing's eyes, this is the Kingdom of Shu, not the Kingdom of Tang in the south of the Yangtze River. She has no obligation to fight to the end here, wrapping her body in horse leather and sacrificing her life for the country.

The promise to Meng Xuanyu to do this is enough.

"Yes, we still have a marriage contract, let alone you, otherwise, I will be a widow for the rest of my life." Peng Qingqing solemnly reminded him.

This is the first time she has put the words 'marriage contract, lifetime, widowhood' on her lips. She would never say it before, but on the eve of the war, she was too nervous and didn't know what would happen tomorrow. She was worried that Su Chen would grasp it Bad standards, etc., to say these few words.

Su Chen looked at Peng Qingqing, who had exquisite facial features and a heroic spirit, reached out and touched her cheek, and sighed softly: "Don't be a widow for me. If something happens to me, you can remarry at any time. Life is short, don't treat yourself badly."

Before he could finish speaking, Peng Qingqing reached out and pressed Su Chen's mouth to prevent him from continuing, which was unlucky.

"Su Chen, I, Peng Qingqing, only love you in my whole life. I will love you for the rest of my life and it will not change!"

Peng Qingqing's tone was firm, her eyes were clear, and she was full of affection.

When Su Chen heard this sentence, his heart seemed to be caught.

He had to admit that he was hit by this girl's words.

At this moment, Peng Qingqing deserves to be cared for and cherished by him for the rest of his life.

Su Chen didn't say much, as if those words seemed pale.

He moved his mouth closer and kissed Peng Qingqing's lips.

Then, with each other's arms wrapped around each other, they gnawed vigorously.

After a long time, they parted their lips. Peng Qingqing seemed to be drunk, with a pink complexion, nestled in Su Chen's arms, quietly listening to the chirping of insects and birds in the mountains and forests, as well as the yelling from across the river bank.

As the river will be crossed tomorrow, at Shendu Wharf, many Song soldiers are laying pontoon bridges, and there are also small boats rowing across the river, and they start to use ropes across the river to build pontoon bridges.

There were also many soldiers working on bamboo rafts, wooden rafts, etc. Only a few ships were moored, and they were recruited by the Song army to use them. The boatmen here did not dare to say much.

This night, the Song army's logistics team continued to prepare for crossing the river tomorrow morning.

When the sky was slightly bright, the Song army sent out the first vanguard, and hundreds of people crossed the river.

After crossing the river, the Song Army began to form a team, looking for their own battalion.

From the beginning to the end, the Song Army did not even send scouts to check the distant mountains and forests to see if there were ambushes.

Perhaps it was Wang Quanbin, the commander-in-chief of the Song Army, who never thought that the Shu Army would anticipate the enemy's opportunity and come here in advance to ambush.Secondly, even if the Shu army came to stop it, but lost the advantage of the city's Xiongguan and charged on the river beach, would the Song army be afraid?Does the Shu army have the guts?
Because of this way of thinking, Wang Quanbin and several generals of the Song Army did not think about that place.

Watching the Song army crossing the river, the Shu army who was watching secretly held their weapons nervously, and they were about to fight soon.

"Brother Chen, how many Song troops are allowed to cross the river is the most appropriate?"

Meng Xuanyu asked in a low voice.

Su Chen hesitated for a moment, before replying: "Forty percent, no matter how much you fear you won't be able to bear it, too little damage to Song Jun will not be enough!"
