Chapter 244 I will return with thousands of horses and troops (55)
Dependency value:92
Mission progress: 59.
Early the next morning.
Jiang Tang put on his clothes and went to the military field.
Changsun Yuchao followed closely behind.
When setting off, Jiang Tang was dressed in silver tiger-headed general armor, wearing a Qiongqi helmet, holding a silver spear in his hand, riding a horse and standing in front of the army, with cold and serious eyes.
Changsun Yuchao was sitting in the sedan chair. He was in the same direction as Jiang and Tang. To the west of Luyi County was the moat of Qi State, so he had a reason to move forward with the army.
In front of outsiders, Jiang Tang looked serious and dignified. Changsun Yuchao's carriage was following her, but Jiang Tang was stunned without turning his head.
Jiang Gan was also riding in a carriage, following behind the army. This battle was difficult and dangerous, and he had to be fully prepared in advance.
In the Qianjiang area, there is abundant rain, and the weather is basically different at the entrance of each village. Because the war is urgent, Jiang Tang has been leading his troops at the front to clear the way for those behind.
Changsun Yuchao followed Jiang Tang on horseback and held an umbrella for her.
As a general, the soldiers were walking in the mud. She led by example. She could not ride in a carriage. She could only lead the way on horseback to find a safer road for the infantry behind.
Changsun Yuchao held an umbrella and tilted it slightly to protect Jiang Tang from the rain.
"Why don't you stop and take a rest?"
Jiang Tang shook his head.
"The weather is humid. Once you stop, you will easily get wind chill."
We should continue our efforts and go directly to the Luyi area to set up camp.
Changsun Yuchao didn't say anything more. He just held the umbrella for her silently and took out a candy from his bag and handed it to her.
Jiang Tang ate the candy and narrowed her eyes slightly. In the drizzle, she seemed to hear the sound of close combat, the earth-shattering shouts, the scene of blood and flesh splattering, and the hand holding the reins tightened involuntarily.
The war came faster than expected. Qi State vetoed that it was not harboring the remnants of the Turks. Moreover, Qi State's style was overbearing and did not give Jiang Gan a chance to negotiate. The war broke out soon.
Liang's 10,000 soldiers and horses faced Qi's 50,000 elite troops on the moat. They were clearly defeated. Even though Liang had world-famous generals such as Jiang, Tang, and Zhao Bang, the enemy was outnumbered and they could only outmaneuver them, not attack by force.
In the first battle, Liang Guo lost two thousand soldiers and horses. Zhao Bang was injured, with an arrow in his leg, and was dragged over from the pile of dead people by Jiang Tang.
In an instant, the morale of Liang Guojun was greatly reduced.
Changsun Yuchao came from Luyi County and sent a hundred sheep and a hundred fat pigs to reward the soldiers.
Jiang Tang sat in the camp, listening to Jiang Gan's deployment.
Jiang Gan was resourceful and had many years of war experience. Jiang Tang listened carefully to his plan.
"To be honest, we will lose this battle."
Changsun Yuchao snorted coldly.
"We have 10,000 enemies against 50,000 enemies. The enemy has a moat and a high wall. We can only fight from the bottom up. We are lucky that the whole army was not wiped out."
Jiang Gan frowned. This battle was originally a conspiracy of Emperor Liang, and they were unable to advance or retreat.
Jiang Tang spoke silently.
"Just as you say, I will go tonight to attack the general at night."
When Changsun Yuchao heard this, he glared at her fiercely.
"Do you think the people of Qi are all stupid and can go wherever you want?"
"Only I have that ability."
Jiang Gan also disagreed.
"You are the commander-in-chief. If something happens to you, we will really be helpless."
But besides Jiang Tang, Zhao Bang was also injured, who else has the courage and ability?
Just as the three of them were looking at each other in silence, suddenly, a soldier in black armor rushed in, wearing a wooden mask and half kneeling with his fists clasped.
"My subordinates volunteered themselves!"
