Huayang County, Huajiuyi Road.

Fujita of the East China Sea was unable to attack Jiuyuan County, while Uesaki, who attacked north from Huayang County, was retreating steadily.

Wenzhu Mountain.

A low hill on the roadside of Huajiu Station.

Yunchui scholars have long been fond of bamboo, and have always had the habit of "would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo."

This low hill is covered with asparagus, a favorite of literati, and is full of greenery everywhere.

The beautiful scenery was in front of him, but at this time, Uesaki felt very heavy.

He stood on the top of the hill, gritting his teeth and looking at the stalemate battle not far ahead, his face so gloomy that it almost dripped with water.

"Pass this general's order and continue to increase the number of troops. No matter what, we must open up the post road in front of us."

After saying that, Uesaki snorted coldly.

It's just the Northern Expeditionary Army, a ragtag group of people drawn from all over Yunchui.

What about yourself?

He glanced back.

The post roads and fields to the south were full of densely packed Yamato soldiers, rushing northward under the scoldings of the generals.

As long as everyone arrives, the number of people will definitely be even greater than that of Huang Ming.

And this time and that time.

When they stormed through Dinghai Pier some time ago, they also grabbed a large amount of food and weapons from the central army's warehouse.

Nowadays, they can say that they need people, weapons, and food.

There is no reason why Huang Ming's Northern Expedition Army cannot be defeated.

Thinking of this, Uesaki felt reassured.

However, when he raised his head and looked north again, he couldn't help but frown deeply.

At this time, the fighting situation between the two sides was stalemate, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the overall battle line was slowly pushing southward.

The reinforcements sent earlier seemed to have no effect.

"Come here," Uesaki became more and more annoyed as he watched, "go ask what's going on in front of the East Hall. After the battle is like this, can he still do it?"

"Yes!" the little messenger responded, climbed on his horse and hurried down the mountain.

The bamboo forest was so dense that the human figures disappeared in an instant.

Seeing Xiao Bing's disappearing figure, Uesaki's expression finally softened.

Dahe is small and has always been short of horses, but the Central Army Corps is not short of horses.

When they broke through Dinghai Pier, they also grabbed a lot of war horses.

Now that the generals want to send messages and give orders, the soldiers finally have transportation tools. They no longer have to run all the way on two legs like before...

It's good to have a horse. After a while, the soldier ran back again.

"Back to the general, General Dongtang said that the Northern Expedition Army has an extremely brave general, and his subordinates are all fearless and invincible. The brothers can't stop him for a while. He is trying to think of a way to kill the enemy general, but he needs to Take some time.”

snort!

Uesaki roared, "Nonsense!"

These are the Northern Expedition Army, just miscellaneous soldiers that are not needed in various places in Yunchui.

How could there be any invincible general!

"Tell me, what is the general's name?"

Uesaki's eyes flashed coldly.

If Dongtang dared to create something out of nothing, he would quickly turn from something into nothing.

The soldier did not dare to say anything and flew to the front line to express the sample of the enemy general's flag that had been traced back.

"General, the enemy general is holding a yellow flag."

Uesaki was startled, "Really?"

Yellow is the exclusive color of the royal family. If ordinary people use it, it will be a taboo, and they will be in danger of confiscating their homes and exterminating their clans every minute.

"Really!" Xiaobing nodded repeatedly, "My subordinates also saw it with their own eyes."

Uesaki's heart skipped a beat and he quickly opened the sample.

There is a crooked word "Yun Chui" painted on it.

The military advisors nearby quickly came over to identify it and quickly recognized it.

"General, this is the word Jin. It should be the prince of Jin in Yunchui. His name is Chen Xiulan."

Uesaki nodded, somewhat in disbelief.

"Is that the fat man with a weak husband?"

The military advisors next to him had equally strange expressions on their faces, but they still nodded in unison. "Back to the general, it should be him."

Their general in the Western Expedition, Kudo Naoto, had studied abroad in Yunchui for more than three years.

He has made detailed records of all the famous people in Xingji City, among which the sons of Emperor Changxing are the most important.

Therefore, various senior generals in Yamato also know these people very well.

"What's going on?" Uesaki was a little confused, "Did things change?"

"General," a military advisor slapped his thigh, "Prince Yunchui personally led the troops to charge, wouldn't his subordinates fight to the death?"

No wonder Dongtang on the front line couldn't resist.

"That's it." Uesaki suddenly realized.

But based on his understanding of the situation between the two countries, as long as Chen Xiulan stayed in the rear and became the mascot of the Northern Expeditionary Army, it would be a great achievement, and there was no need to fight in person.

For a moment, Uesaki couldn't help but feel a little confused.

However, the war is urgent, and this is not the time to think about these details.

"Prince, right? Since he wants to die, don't stop him."

"Pass this general's order to ask Dongtang to show weakness and lure Chen Xiulan to stay on the front line."

A military advisor's face changed drastically, "General, this plan is absolutely unacceptable."

He pointed anxiously at the melee ahead.

"General, the two sides are fighting in a stalemate at this time, but Prince Yunchui is leading the team, and the soldiers are ready to die. Our side can only barely support it. If General Dongtang shows weakness and retreats, the front line is likely to collapse immediately."

"As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain. Once the front line is defeated, no one can stop it. Then we will be in trouble."

Humph.

Uesaki heard the harsh sound and let out another cold snort.

"I know it well, I don't need you to teach me."

He no longer paid attention to the military advisor, but roared.

"Where are all the baggage trucks? Bring up the heavy crossbow immediately and help Dongtang kill this damn fat man."

"Yes." The soldier who ordered the order quickly responded, trembling.

However, the heavy crossbow is not the bow and arrow carried by the soldiers.

It was so big and heavy that it took at least five people to wind it up and start it.

Because of this, it is incredibly powerful.

Even if protected by an ordinary shield, as long as it is hit, the target will either die or be injured.

It's just that Ishikawa Taki was in a hurry when heading north, and there were not many troops on the front line at this time.

"Also," Uesaki added hastily, "Kill Queen Jin and announce it to the entire army immediately."

"Understood." The little messengers ran away in a hurry again.

Uesaki watched several people leave, making calculations in his heart.

Now that Beikanguan has been destroyed, generals such as Masato Nei and even Naoto Kudo have been captured.

Once these bad news spread, no matter how many people he has, it may not be able to help the situation and he will lose his ambition.

But if the prince Yun Chuidang is killed on the battlefield, it may be possible to strengthen one's own ambition and at the same time weaken the enemy's courage...

A military advisor who knew how to wink immediately stepped forward.

"General, it's not just that. Once King Jin dies in battle, Huang Ming will definitely be implicated, and he will definitely be timid and even in chaos. Then it will be our chance..."

"That's right." Uesaki's lips curled up slightly upon hearing this, "That's what I had in mind."

After speaking, he raised his head and looked longingly to the north.

If everything goes well, they might be able to reach Jiuyuan Racecourse in the next two days.

Then join forces with Fujita headquarters to kill Mo Canghai, and then turn around and attack westward.

Maybe it won't take a few days to reach Star City...

It's just that there is chaos below, and even if the heavy crossbow is brought over, it still has to aim at the target.

"General, Huayang County is spread out across the plains. It's not easy to find a high point to stop the enemy."

The military advisor who spoke looked around, and finally stepped silently on the ground beneath his feet.

"The most suitable location right now is Wenzhu Mountain at our feet."

Uesaki nodded, "Then place the heavy crossbow here, and at the same time let Dongtang continue to retreat, retreat within the range of the heavy crossbow, and be sure to hit Chen Xiulan with one hit." (End of this chapter)
