C1973 Final volume

There was a reason why Chen Lihua did not immediately lead his troops to attack the rebel army. Firstly, the battle at the Western Plains had caused Chen Lihua to be greatly shocked, and in his heart, he did not want to face the rebel army head on without any reinforcements.

Secondly, and also the most important reason, at that time was coincidentally the most intense stage of the internal battle of the Imperial Court of Chuan Country, where Xiao Xiang and the Eldest Young Master were currently fighting to the death over the throne. After the battle at the Western Plains, Zhang Situ intentionally sent a message to Chen Lihua, asking him to temporarily avoid fighting with the rebel army, in order to preserve his combat power, in case of need.

Because of these two reasons, after Chen Lihua heavily injured the rebel army, he did not immediately resume his attack. Instead, he gathered his forces and trained, but this also gave the rebel army a chance to catch their breath.

Immediately after the banquet, the banquet hall became a meeting hall. Qing Yu took the opportunity to ask the strategists and Generals present about the current situation of the Chastity Army.

Right now, Li Shu's intention was clear, he wanted to defend Bainan County to the death.

Li Shu had gathered all of his Zhen Jun's troops at the border between Bainan County and the mandarins. It could be seen that he was planning to not give in at all, just to stay here and fight to the death with the Chastity Army, blocking their path to the Bainan County.

His thoughts were not wrong, Bainan County was the rebel army's last resting place. If they could not defend this place anymore, the rebel army would not be able to escape even if they wanted to.

But, would the Zhen Jun be able to withstand the attack from the Chuan Army? It was not because of how brave and fierce the Chuan Army was when attacking and defending, but because the Chuan Army's equipment was too refined, and the army had a large amount of large equipment specially prepared for attacking and defending. If this battle really started, the Chastity Army would most likely use their own eggs to strike a rock, bringing about their own destruction.

Seeing Qing Yu's contemplative expression, Li Shu's heart trembled. He carefully asked: "Does General Qing Yu think that our army is unable to defend against the Chuan Army?"

Qing Yu did not hide the truth and quietly nodded his head. Li Shu immediately became anxious and asked: "Then ? General Qing Yu thinks that how should our army handle the Chuan Army attack? "

Well, I'll have to think it over." Qing Yu didn't answer Li Shu immediately, but seeing the worry on Li Shu's face, he smiled lightly and comforted his, "There's always a way to get to the top of the mountain. When the boat arrives at the bridge, there's always a way to deal with it, so General doesn't have to worry too much." With that, he changed the topic and asked, "General, may I take a walk in your army's camp?

Just by listening to others' introductions, Qing Yu was still unable to accurately understand the current situation of the Chastity Army. He had to personally go and take a look before he could figure out a way to defend and even defeat the enemy.

Li Shu anxiously replied: Of course you can, when does General Qing Yu plan to go to the army camp?

Qing Yu wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said: "Let's do it now!"

"This... General Qing Yu has worked so hard, do you want to rest for a day first? "

"No need." Qing Yu said with a stern face: "The military situation is ever-changing, we cannot delay it."

Seeing that he was insisting, Li Shu did not stay polite and stood up, saying: "I will accompany General Qing Yu." With that, he looked at Tang Yin with difficulty. The latter smiled, stood up, and said with a smile, "This King also happens to want to take a walk around."

After the banquet, Tang Yin and Qing Yu did not rest in the city. Instead, they were accompanied by Li Shu and the others to the camp outside the city.

Zhen Jun Army's conditions were very harsh, and the camp was very simple as well. There was a simple wooden fence around the perimeter, and also a few Rejecting Wooden-Horse s were placed around it.

Entering this place was almost like entering a slum. Looking around, one could see that the tents were all in tatters. Some were patched up, while others were sewn together. Looking back at the Chastity Army's equipment, they were even more pitiful, they were wearing armor which was made from Feng Country and was made from leather. Since there were no excess armor to replace them, almost everyone's armor had some damage, and some of the old, weak and handicapped people did not even wear armor.

This was still okay, but the most worrying thing was that the soldiers' morale was generally low, and the entire camp was dead. No fighting spirit could be seen on people's faces, only numbness, as if the people had already lost their desire to win.

and Qing Yu also noticed that 20 to 30% of the soldiers in the Chastity Army were injured, but to the Chastity Army, as long as they could still move, and could still hold onto their weapons, they would be slightly injured and considered to be part of the elite soldiers that could still fight.

For a Zhen Jun like this, if their morale was low, and if they wanted to fight, they would not have much left, so how could they withstand the all-out attack that the Chuan Army could unleash at any time?

Li Shu led the way, bringing Tang Yin and all the way to the front of Central Army Tent. He waved his hands and said: "Your Highness, General Qing Yu, why don't you go inside the Central Army Tent for a while, take a rest!"

"Great General, no need to be so courteous, I'm not tired yet." Qing Yu smiled and rejected Li Shu's good intentions, then said: "How about this, Great General will be resting inside the Central Army Tent, I will accompany the King to walk around."

"This ?"

"Could it be that Great General is worried that the King and I will lose ourselves in the Your Army's camp?" Qing Yu laughed and asked.

"No, no, no, of course I don't intend to do that."

After pondering for a moment, Li Shu nodded and said: "That's fine, I will wait at Central Army Tent for Your Highness and General Qing Yu." After saying that, he turned around and looked at the guards behind him. The guards understood, and immediately sent out a hundred or so people to stand around Tang Yin and Qing Yu.

The soldiers in the army did not know Tang Yin and Qing Yu, and Li Shu was worried that the two of them would have misunderstandings and accidents while they were wandering in the camp.

With regards to Li Shu sending people to follow him, Tang Yin and Qing Yu did not reject him. After the two bade farewell to Li Shu, they walked towards the inner area of the Primordial Army camp.1

The two of them did not wander around aimlessly, but headed towards the north side of the camp, which was facing the many counties. If Chuan Army were to attack them from the north, they would definitely attack from the south.

When they arrived at the northern camp, Tang Yin and Qing Yu were greatly disappointed. Relatively speaking, the northern camp's defense was stronger than most other places, but it was only used as a barrier to increase the height of the walls. There were more Rejecting Wooden-Horse s outside, and they had not even dug a trench to block the enemy's infantry.

Sigh! Qing Yu sighed secretly, shook his head, and said to Tang Yin in a low voice: "Great king, the defense of our Zhen Camp is just an illusion. If it's really the main force of our Chuan Army attacking, we won't be able to defend at all." As he spoke, he walked up to the wooden fence and kicked it.

Qing Yu had been sick since he was young, and his body was extremely weak. However, with his strength, he was able to kick the wooden fence to the point that it swayed slightly.

He laughed bitterly: "If I didn't know that Li Shu has no other choice, I really would have suspected that he plans to fight to death with Chuan Army here."

Tang Yin also revealed a bitter smile. He had already seen Tao Yuanfeng's letter saying that the rebel army was unorthodox, but he did not expect it to be this unorthodox to the point that they could not even build a camp. How could he defend?

Before he could speak, a big fellow who dressed as a Captain walked over. He first sized Tang Yin and Qing Yu up, then looked at the surrounding guards, his face full of suspicion as he asked: "The two of you are ?"

Tang Yin didn't have any intention to continue speaking. Qing Yu opened his mouth and said, "My name is Qing Yu, I came from the Feng Country."

Ah!" So you are the renowned General Qingyu, this lowly one is truly disrespectful! " This Captain was not as rude as the other Chastity Army officers, so he gave Qing Yu a deep bow.

"No need to be so polite, big brother." Qing Yu cupped his hands and greeted back with a smile.

He did not expect Qing Yu to be so approachable and return the greeting to a nobody like him. He was surprised, but he did not show it too clearly.

His words stunned both Tang Yin and Qing Yu. Li Shu was anxiously looking forward to Qing Yu's arrival, hoping that Qing Yu could solve his urgent needs.

Qing Yu laughed: "Is this big brother so confident that he can defeat Chuan Army?"

The Captain blankly shook his head and replied, "I won't hide it from General Qing Yu. It's the opposite, once Chuan Army attacks, our army will definitely lose. If I were General Qing Yu, I would have immediately rushed back to the Feng Country without caring about anything else. "

Qing Yu almost laughed out loud when he heard it. Qing Yu did not find this person's words to be funny, but felt that he did not suit the personality of the People of Zhen Country well. It would be even harder than ascending to the heavens to make the wild and untamed People of Zhen Country admit defeat.

He said unhurriedly, "The Great General, as well as the other strategists and generals, do not believe that we will lose this battle. Why do you have to say that? Don't tell me you're not afraid that the Great General would hear your words and punish you for causing a disturbance in their military hearts? "

The Captain bitterly smiled, and said: "The war at the Western Plains has caused our army to lose over a hundred thousand brothers for no reason, which is already a great mistake. Now, the Great General is even deciding to defend the border with all his might, which is even more so a great mistake.

Ouch! This person's insight was quite unique! Tang Yin and Qing Yu's hearts were moved at the same time. This time, without waiting for Qing Yu to speak, Tang Yin asked: "What's your name?"

The Captain looked at Tang Yin, staring at him for a moment, then cupped his hands and said: "I am Yin Li, just a small Captain in the army."

Before he finished speaking, Tang Yin had already continued to ask, "You said that if Chuan Army attacks this time, your entire army will be annihilated, and then, how can we avoid an entire army being annihilated?"

"Very simple, retreat!"

"Withdraw?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, and laughed: Where do we go?

"Retreat towards the depths of the Bainan County, and try your best to avoid direct confrontation with the Chuan Army, especially direct confrontation between the main forces!"

The thousand-man commander named Yin Li said seriously: "The Chuan Army is strong, there are a lot of troops, if we want to win, we have to first disperse the troops and use a strategy of destroying them, if that's the case, we might have a chance of success."
