"Military advisor, Yeon Gaesumun sent someone to issue a challenge again." Qin Qiong came to Xu Shiji's camp with the challenge sent by the enemy archer.
At this moment, the genius was slightly bright, but Qin Qiong was sweating profusely.
Last time, Niu Jinda was framed and captured alive because of a letter of challenge from Yeon Gae So-moon.
Are you coming now?
If one more of them is captured by Yeon Gaesumun, then they will all commit suicide.
At that time, there would be no need for Yeon Gaesomun to attack from the opposite side, and their army would be disbanded first.
"Ignore it." Xu Shiji frowned.
"Military advisor, we can't ignore it this time. Yeon Gae Su Wen said in the letter that if we don't fight, he will send one of Niu Jinda's arms back first."
"If you don't fight tomorrow, he will send another one."
"Many people in the army know the news now. If we watch Niu Jinda's arm being removed, what will the soldiers think?" Qin Qiong and Xu Shiji said.
If it weren't for this news, Qin Qiong wouldn't be so anxious.
Even if they knew that Yeon Gaesumun was threatening them, no one dared to take it seriously.
If Niu Jinda was dismembered alive in front of the battle, their morale would never be restored.
Xu Shiji's face darkened.
In order to block the attack of the Goguryeo army, he had lowered all his requirements as much as possible.
Xu Shiji has been leading the army for so many years, and he has never encountered such an outrageous thing.
They were clearly asked to take the initiative to attack Goguryeo, but now they were pushed back to the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
Even at this moment, they are still trying every means to block the Goguryeo army.
But now...
"What did everyone else say?" Xu Shiji sat on the stool dejectedly.
In a battle with the Goguryeo army, with the morale of the Tang soldiers at the moment, they would definitely collapse at the first touch.
What's the point of fighting a battle without any suspense?
"There is no one. Everyone is busy appeasing the soldiers. Lao Cheng and the others haven't even closed their eyes for several days." Qin Qiong shook his head.
"Forget it, let me know, everyone will wear armor and go into battle." After saying that, Xu Shiji picked up the helmet he had never worn before.
Today, as a military advisor, he will also go to the battlefield with the soldiers.
…
When Zhao Chen came to the army, the officers and soldiers had already been integrated.
Although everyone is fully armed.
But I didn't see anyone with any energy.
When Zhao Chen looked at these soldiers, the soldiers were also looking at him.
There was a strong look of fear in everyone's eyes.
This is not the look a soldier about to go into battle should have.
"Sir, I have found out the news that Yuan Gaisuwen issued a letter of war and forced our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty to come out of camp to fight with them."
"If we don't go to war, we will send General Niu's arm back." Li Ke ran back and told Zhao Chen the news he had found out.
"Go see Xu Shiji." Zhao Chen only said one sentence, then turned around and walked towards the Central Military Camp.
Maybe it was because Zhao Chen and the others were from the Tang Dynasty, or maybe the soldiers felt there was no hope.
So even when strangers showed up at the camp, no one stopped them.
Zhao Chen and the others walked outside the Chinese army's tent. Just as they were about to open the tent, they bumped into Cheng Yaojin who was coming out of the tent.
"That one doesn't have eyes..."
"Zhao Chen?" Cheng Yaojin wanted to say something dirty, but he didn't expect that the person who bumped into him would be Zhao Chen.
Cheng Yaojin knew that Zhao Chen also came with the army this time.
But this army had only set off not long ago. How could Zhao Chen be here so quickly?
Cheng Yaojin was a little confused.
But I couldn't contain my inner joy.
"Uncle Bao, Uncle Bao, come out quickly and see who's coming." Cheng Yaojin shouted to those in the camp with a look of surprise on his face.
Qin Qiong is making final preparations with Xu Shiji.
Even if you know you are defeated, you should at least carve out a piece of the enemy's flesh.
Suddenly hearing Cheng Yaojin's voice outside, Qin Qiong also frowned.
Nowadays, when people are in panic, Cheng Yaojin is still like this...
"Zhao Chen!" Qin Qiong opened the tent and shouted in surprise when he saw the person in front of him.
…
In the military tent of the Tang Army.
The three of Zhao Chen stood here, in front of them were a group of Tang army generals.
Xu Shiji, Chai Shao, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, and many others are also familiar faces.
"Zhao Chen, why did you come so fast? His Majesty's army has also arrived?" Qin Qiong couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart.
If the emperor's army also arrives, maybe they can reverse the current situation.
"No, we heard about General Niu and came here in advance." Li Ke took over.
When everyone heard that the emperor's army had not arrived yet, they were immediately disappointed.
The emperor's reinforcements didn't come. What could Zhao Chen and the others do if they came?
Everyone stopped talking, and the atmosphere in the Chinese military tent was a bit depressing.
"I heard that you are preparing for a decisive battle with Yeon Gaesumun?" Zhao Chen said, and everyone looked over.
"Zhao Chen, you also know that Niu Jinda was captured alive. At this moment, he is hanging in front of the enemy's formation."
"If we didn't fight, he would chop off Niu Jinda's arm."
"We have no other choice." Qin Qiong and Zhao Chen explained.
Everyone also sighed and clenched the hilts of their swords around their waists. This might be their last battle.
"We have a way to rescue General Niu." Seeing that everyone was looking at death, Zhao Chen said.
"Rescue Niu Jinda?" Xu Shiji looked at Zhao Chen and shook his head with a wry smile.
Niu Jinda has now fallen into the hands of Yeon Gaesumun.
Yeon Gae Suwen has an army of 200,000 men. How can Zhao Chen rescue him?
"Zhao Chen, we have thought of all the ways, but there is really no way to save Niu Jinda." Cheng Yaojin and Zhao Chen said.
He knew that Zhao Chen and Niu Jinda had a close relationship.
When I came here, I naturally wanted to save Niu Jinda.
But the reality is very cruel.
In such a disadvantageous situation, it would be impossible to save Niu Jinda.
"Uncle Cheng, it was Li Ke who came up with this idea."
"Li Ke, you talk to the big guy." Zhao Chen said to Li Ke behind him.
Everyone was curious as to whether Li Ke, the king of Shu, could think of a way to rescue Niu Jinda.
Li Ke was also surprised.
Zhao Chen actually asked him to tell everyone how to save Niu Jinda.
"Actually, my husband and I came up with this method together..."
…
"A challenge with Yeon Gae So-moon?"
"Let you little guys go?"
"This is absolutely not okay."
After listening to Li Ke's speech, Xu Shiji was the first to stand up and object.
"How can we old guys sit here and wait while you go out to fight?"
"Furthermore, the generals under Yeon Gae Suwen are all good at fighting. They all crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood."
"How can you be their opponent?"
"This is too dangerous. If something happens to any of you, how will we explain to His Majesty?"
Everyone spoke out in opposition.
With veterans like them here, how can they really let juniors go up and die?
On the battlefield, the enemy will not give way to them.
If you are not careful, your head will fall to the ground.
"Commander Xu, before we come, His Majesty asked me to bring you a letter." Seeing that everyone was opposed, Zhao Chen thought about giving Xu Shiji a letter before leaving.
He took it out from his arms and handed it to Xu Shiji.?
