These people who were selected seemed to be somewhat unable to accept such a result, "If we old bones can do something more for Da Rong before we die, this life will be worthwhile."
Song Chen naturally understood what they were saying, but she couldn't be so selfish. She knew how intense the battlefield was, and these people couldn't last long in the past.
"I know what everyone is thinking. We will not forget you just because you did not go to the battlefield, and the people of Shangjing City will not forget you because of this. But you have to know that in addition to the battlefield, there are still hundreds of thousands of people in Shangjing City.
The people, they all went to the battlefield, what will happen to the people in the city? Will they not get sick?"
"Soldiers on the battlefield are here to protect the people, and you are also here to protect the people in the city. I believe in you, and I also want to entrust the people in the city to you. I hope you can give the people in the city a healthy body!"
After saying these words, the old doctors who had previously expressed their intention to go to the battlefield all had red eyes.
Although they knew that the princess was saying these words to comfort them, they never thought that their careers were so important.
After another thought, I realized that what the princess said was indeed true.
If they all leave, what will happen to the people in the capital? If the people in the city are ignored because of the needs of the soldiers on the battlefield, and the people in the city are sick and have nowhere to be treated, the people in the city will definitely be dissatisfied.
In the end, it may cause irreparable consequences.
These words successfully persuaded them.
After identifying these people, Song Chen personally took them out of the city. When they were leaving the city, the people in the capital sent them to the city gate and watched them heading towards the battlefield.
"In all these years, I have never heard of anyone in power caring so much about the life and death of us common people. The prince and princess must have been sent by God to save us."
"That's right, if it weren't for the prince and princess during the previous severe drought, we would have starved to death long ago."
"I will recognize the prince and princess for the rest of my life. They are really our guardian angels."
The three words "patron saint" were the best description they could think of for Song Chen and Cang Xiuxuan, and it was also their greatest affirmation for Song Chen and Cang Xiuxuan.
**
Shangjing twenty miles outside the city
Ouyang Li's 100,000-strong army was blocked here by troops led by Cang Xiuxuan.
At the front of the team was the duel between Cang Xiuxuan and Ouyang Li.
Seeing Cang Xiuxuan with such impressive momentum, Ouyang Li felt great pressure in his heart, but when he thought of the 100,000 troops behind him, his lack of confidence was replenished.
But he didn't know that Cang Xiuxuan was looking at him like a clown.
Both sides came with the intention of completely destroying the other party, so they didn't intend to talk nonsense at all.
Cang Xiuxuan did not intend to give them another chance to advance further.
"The cavalry obeys the order! Kill!"
After saying this, Cang Xiuxuan personally led the soldiers and rushed out. His fighting style seemed to be without any rules. Several generals under Ouyang Li on the opposite side were also confused by his fighting style and quickly mobilized their troops.
to stop them.
Cang Xiuxuan's cavalry unit was the same unit that defeated Jin Chu. They were very powerful. Letting them attack first was the best choice. Cang Xiuxuan was not worried that they would be defeated. Originally, there was no need to personally attack them.
He was fighting the first battle, but the current situation was quite special. He didn't know when Ouyang Li would reveal his trump card.
Only he goes into battle in person. As soon as he discovers something is wrong, he can react quickly and change the combat strategy.
"Kill the enemy with all your strength, and receive one tael of silver for each kill. I will remember the number of people I killed. Whoever kills Cang Xiuxuan will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"
It is said that there must be brave men under heavy rewards. Ouyang Li's strategy can indeed arouse their morale. They rushed forward with passion, as if those on the opposite side were not individual people, but individual silver ingots.
.
But when they actually faced each other head-on, it didn't take long for them to want to retreat.
Cang Xiuxuan's soldiers are all super-trained people. On the battlefield, they are one against ten. As for Ouyang Li's people, most of their loyalty to Ouyang Li is based on financial interests first.
Faced with the powerful strength of Cang Xiuxuan and the others, they knew in their hearts that they might not be able to get the money, and they didn't want to put their lives on the line here.
But now that they are facing each other, Cang Xiuxuan has no intention of giving them a way out.
Now that you know how to cherish your life, what did you do before?
As long as they are individuals, they will not know the crime of raising private soldiers, let alone the consequences of joining such an army. Since they have chosen this path, they must bear the consequences.
After rounds of fighting, not many of the black-clad soldiers on Cang Xiuxuan's side fell down, but the people on Ouyang Li's side fell down piece by piece like leeks that had been cut off.
The veins in Ouyang Li's hand holding the reins bulged.
"Send more people!"
He didn't believe it. Could Cang Xiuxuan's people be machines? He sent batch after batch of people up, but he didn't believe how long Cang Xiuxuan's people could hold on.
"Young Master, no!"
But the general leading the army was panicked by his order. Although they had an advantage in numbers, this advantage could not withstand such a torment, and if they continued to fight like this, their morale would be completely shattered.
The morale of the army was lost, and before Cang Xiuxuan could kill them, they themselves were in chaos.
And this will be fatal!
"Why not? Should I listen to you or to me?"
Ouyang Li looked at him gloomily. Every time Cang Xiuxuan's spear killed one of his people, he felt that it was a mockery of him, which he could not accept in any case.
"Young Master, forgive me. This is not what I meant, but the current combat power of Cang Xiuxuan is too strong. If we send some more people up, the end will be the same, and they will be strengthened endlessly.
Their morale, the best plan for now is to first destroy their vigor and break up their morale."
The generals who led the troops under Ouyang Li all knew that the Ouyang family had a secret army, and the combat effectiveness of this army was very powerful.
It turned out that Ouyang Li also brought out his troops to fight with them. The ordinary soldiers under their command were not enough to stand in front of Ouyang Li's troops.
He felt that now was the best time.
Use that team to scare Cang Xiuxuan's side, and other things will be solved easily.
