In Longyou County, Jiang Shangyan returned to the city gate building with some fatigue. He placed his blood-stained swords on the table and didn't even take off his armor. He threw himself onto a simple bed in the corner. In a moment, he was already snoring loudly.

He is now the Ming Fu's actually guarding the lonely city. The Qin army's 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 elite infantrymen bypassed Longyou City and attacked the main force led by the emperor behind him. Their purpose was to kill the emperor. If successful, Longyou County would become a lonely boat in the sea and could not last long.

He did not have any confidence in this war. If the main force of the Ming army had been released, he believed that he would never lose to the Qin people. But now, the Ming country had limited combat power, but now, the Ming country had already invested in three battlefields. Except for Zhengyang County, they were at an absolute disadvantage in the other two directions.

No matter how brave the emperor was, he had only two cavalry battalions and one miner battalion, but he was facing the main force of Qin who had emerged from all directions. Oh, by the way, he had to add a master Deng Pu. Such a power was obviously much stronger than the Ming army.

The main force of the Qin army left, but there were tens of thousands of troops left in Longyou County. Of course, the most powerful ones were 20,000, and the others were more suitable to call the auxiliary army. But this was enough for him to drink. The bravery of the Qin army was really not a big deal. The desperate spirit of fighting in war made Jiang Shangyan, who had fought with the Qi people for many years, also felt scared.

It is said that the Qi people are the most powerful army in the world, but if we really want to be brave, we have to count the Qin people.

During this period of battle, every time the opponent attacked the city, he would kill the city without exception. If it weren't for a grandmaster He Rentu, Jiang Shangyan wouldn't dare to say that he could really defend the city. Even if the main force of the Qin people left, the rest did not wait for good news to come from the front. Although their attacks were slightly weakened, they were still putting pressure on Longyou County.

Fortunately, although Baoqing Camp is somewhat out of the Ming army's battle sequence, it is still unjust and is not up to par with the right words, Qin Feng seems very generous. He does not regard them as outsiders in the military pay or equipment. The Ming army's military pay is really the first among the army in the world. It is much stronger than when he was in Chu State. Now the remaining half of the Chu army is quite happy. He also pays money to work hard, but the money he gets here is much more than in the Chu army sequence. It is absolutely no problem to support the family if a soldier with a little experience, let alone an officer.

The weapons and equipment shocked Jiang Shangyan. His Baoqing camp had just replaced all protective armor shortly before the war. The kind of Mingguang Kai that only officers could wear before was now equipped with every soldier. Mingguang Kai was time-consuming and labor-intensive. When he was in Chu, it was made by hand. It was impossible to produce large quantities of it by hammer. Obviously, the Mingguang Kai had found a new way to manufacture such Mingguang Kai, otherwise it would not have been produced in such a large quantity.

The new crossbow arrows and stone cannons, while ensuring that their lethality is not reduced, have eliminated the original problems such as bulkiness, difficulty moving, and fixed shooting angles, which makes these weapons originally used to defend the city actually use in field battles. Although Jiang Shangyan has not used these things in field battles, as an experienced general, he can certainly see the changes in the fighting style brought about by these changes.

As the standard ring-headed knife for every soldier, it is astonishingly sharp. It can easily cut off the long spears of the Qin people and cut off most of the Qin people's weapons.

Weapons and armor are the second life of soldiers. The strength of these things is exchanged for higher combat effectiveness and morale of soldiers. The soldiers have seen the efforts made by the court to protect their lives.

The Ming Dynasty really couldn't afford to support such an army. Jiang Shangyan once quietly calculated the comprehensive expenses of his own battalion, such as weapons and armor, supplies, military pay, daily living expenses, training expenses and other expenses. The conclusion he came to shocked him. The cost of a battalion organized by him with 5,000 people was placed in the Chu State, which was famous for its wealth, could support a Chu army of 20,000 people.

If calculated based on this number, the Ming army, which is close to 100,000 people, will actually cost 400,000 or 500,000 Chu army.

Jiang Shangyan cannot say whether Qin Feng’s strategy is right or wrong, but it is of course excellent for soldiers. For people’s livelihood, the large amount of labor saved can create a lot of wealth.

Qin Feng is a good emperor, and He Rentu is indeed not wrong with this. Even though it is difficult to accept in terms of feelings, he still has to admit that in many aspects, Qin Feng did better than the emperor of Chu Min Ruoying.

But I am still a general of Chu!

Jiang Shangyan, who often thinks about his embarrassing identity, now he can't think of anything. As soon as he touches his body, he sleeps like a dead pig. He is so tired that the Qin people obviously want to use wheel battles to exhaust them. Not only are the elite soldiers taking turns to fight, but even the auxiliary soldiers also start attacking. They say that they are auxiliary soldiers, which means that they are poor in equipment and training, but when fighting, their vitality is in line with each other.

It seemed that Jiang Shangyan was awakened just now.

The door was blown open vigorously, and his deputy general Hou Liang rushed in with a huge wind. Jiang Shangyan, who had just grabbed the hilt of the two swords, threw himself back to the bed, closed his eyes and shouted angrily: "Wu Liang, why are you so fucking? The Qin people are coming to the top of the city. Why didn't I hear the sound?"

"General, cavalry, cavalry!" Hou Liang's face turned red and he even trembled when he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shangyan climbed up: "You said the Qin people's cavalry are back?" He shouted sternly.

"Yes, yes!" Hou Liang nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Shangyan's face suddenly collapsed, "It's over, it's over, the emperor is finished, I'm dealt with by Deng Pu. Now I'm really alone."

Hou Liang shook his head desperately: "No, no, no."

"What's not?" Jiang Shangyan roared, carrying a knife and walked out, "The Qin people must come to fuck us again soon. Let's go, go to the city."

Hou Liang chased Jiang Shangyan, who was walking out, and said as he walked: "General, this is not the case. The cavalry has returned, but only less than two thousand cavalry have returned. It seems that he is panicked and the flag is sluggish, so it looks like he has suffered a great defeat."

Jiang Shangyan stopped suddenly, and with a bang, Hou Liang, who was only interested in talking, hit Jiang Shangyan's broad and strong back, staggering and retreating several steps.

"What did you say?"

"It seems that the Qin cavalry escaped after a defeat. There were less than two thousand cavalrymen, and they were in a very embarrassing state." Hou Liang said excitedly.

Jiang Shangyan looked at Hou Liang with her head tilted, and her face changed drastically. After a while, she pointed at Hou Liang with a bloody knife: "You monkey, can't you finish speaking in one go? Swallow half of it, you are going to be anxious to death. You have won the battle and escaped? So, I won the emperor, hahaha, hurry up, go and have a look!"

Seeing the Yanfeng rushing out on the river, Hou Liang made a face, what does it mean to say half of it? You didn't give me the chance to finish it, right?

Of course, the boss is always right, and Hou Liang will not fight for his shortcomings.

Jiang Shangyan rushed to the city in two steps. He Rentu had already stood there, looking at the Qin army camp in the distance with his hands behind his back.

The Qin army camp is now brightly lit and the crowds are filled with people. It doesn’t seem like they are going to start another battle, but it seems like they are panic. There are crowds of people running everywhere, drums and trumpets, ringing in a whole lot.

"The emperor is victorious!" He Rentu held his hands behind his back and did not look at Jiang Shangyan. His tone sounded dull, "Deng Pu will not come back. It seems that it will be a problem whether Deng Su can come back."

"So, I actually won?" Jiang Shangyan's tone was still filled with disbelief.

"I have never been worried that the emperor would not win." He Rentu turned his head to look at Jiang Shangyan and smiled.

Jiang Shangyan smiled and thought to himself that this was a hindsight. You didn't say that when you first came.

"General Jiang, now there is a great contribution in front of you. Do you dare to lead the army out of the city? Now the Qin army is in chaos. I will beat their butts while the iron is hot, and stab their chrysanthemums. Do you dare?" He Rentu looked at Jiang Shangyan with a smile.

Jiang Shangyan was stunned and shook her head repeatedly: "Old He, don't joke. Even if the Qin people were beaten up by the emperor, the enemy under the city alone would be considered elite 10,000 or 20,000, and the others would be 20,000 or 30,000. That would not be easy to mess with. In my city, there are at most 3,000 or less than 4,000 soldiers who can fight. I don't want to force them to jump over the wall. Besides, Lu, who is commanding the Qin army now, must not be a vegetarian. I don't want to even want my life for the sake of credit, and my life is fine. The lives of thousands of soldiers cannot be used as a joke."

He Rentu spread his hands, "Then you can only stand here and see the scenery."

"It's nothing, it's good to see the scenery. When the exact news comes tomorrow, I will take the soldiers to chase their butts. If you have the chance, you can poke it. If you don't have the chance, you can put it on. It seems that the emperor will not give up this time. At least he will take Kaiping County back." Jiang Shangyan said. "By the way, Master He, do you think Deng Pu is really dead?"

"If Deng Pu was not dead, why would these cavalrymen panic? Why would the Qin army panic?" He Rentu laughed: "Now Lu must be worried about his own wealth and life. Deng Pu was dead and Deng was defeated. It is not just our Ming Dynasty. Even in their country, there are many people waiting to deal with Deng's family!"
