King Zhao's army made a surprise attack, and the Northern Hubei Army only panicked for a moment. Soon, people around Liang Cheng organized a fight, and Liang Cheng had already arrived at the edge of the Lanjiang River.
Shengze and Liang Cheng stood together, and Liang Cheng frowned and said, "Something's wrong. King Zhao's army is coming in force tonight. I'm afraid something happened to them."
"Is it because the food and grass were robbed?" Shengze also felt that the entire morale of King Zhao's army was different tonight.
Couldn't it be that there was a problem with the food and fodder at the rear, which actually inspired their fighting spirit?
Liang Cheng's face was solemn, and after a moment he said: "Probably not."
King Zhao's army is sitting on the grain and grass supplies of several large prefectures. Even if Shengze and the others temporarily block their food and grass supplies, they will not be able to provoke King Zhao's army on the entire Lanjiang River to this point.
Something big must have happened in King Zhao's army tonight.
Shengze thought about it, then suddenly raised his eyes to look at the Lanjiang River, and said in a deep voice: "The King of Zhao is here."
Liang Cheng looked sideways at him and opened his mouth to deny it, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Yes, in the current situation, only the presence of King Zhao can make King Zhao's army so desperate.
"General, the enemy's offensive is fierce, we can hardly stop it!"
Someone came to report, but it was not good news.
Liang Cheng waved his hand, "Go ahead, our army will go all out to defend Lanjiangkou..."
"No," Shengze interrupted him immediately and said seriously, "Uncle Liang, don't make fearless sacrifices. The Northern Hubei Army needs to reduce casualties and preserve its strength."
Liang Cheng frowned, "But if King Zhao is really on the other side, we may not be able to defend it."
There is a very high possibility that we will not be able to hold on!
King Zhao's army has been planning for a long time and has sufficient backup waiting for support at any time. However, the Northern Hubei Army is now like a lone army. The longer the battle lasts, the more disadvantageous it will be for them.
Shengze took a deep breath and said, "I'll go see him."
"What?" Liang Cheng was stunned, then firmly objected, "No! You must not go see him!"
King Zhao was originally planning to rebel. If Shengze went away, wouldn't it mean that he was walking into a tiger's mouth? What's more, Shengze's identity is not suitable to be exposed at this time.
Shengze smiled lightly, "Didn't he use my death as an excuse to rebel? Now that he knows that I am still alive, what will he do?"
The Zhao Wang lineage typically wants both face and dignity, otherwise they would not have endured for so many years before rebelling.
Under the banner of King Qin, he has captured six state capitals, but has never been crowned king. He wants both face and respect.
Originally, Shengze had no intention of letting King Zhao know that he was in northern Hubei now, but now that the situation was special, he had to take the risk of showing up in front of King Zhao.
"That's not okay, you can't take risks!" Liang Cheng still objected.
King Zhao is not an ordinary person. He is worried that Shengze will never come back, especially now that Ling Yun is not here. If something happens to Shengze, how can he have the face to see the late queen?
Shengze patted his arm and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do and I will definitely come back safely."
He looked around and sighed: "You must hold on until I come back."
Liang Cheng frowned when he saw that he had made up his mind. He relaxed after hearing another round of killing calls and said, "Then be careful."
…
The entire military medical department was summoned urgently and devoted themselves to treating the injuries as quickly as possible.
"No, there's no room left, let them send people to the tent next door!"
"Oh my God, Dr. Hu, this man has died. Come quickly..."
"Military Doctor Shen, the bleeding on this man's arm can't be stopped. Come over and have a look..."
In the chaos, Shen Qingqian was caring for the injured while worrying about the safety of Shen Xiao and Sheng Ze.
Just by looking at the frequency and number of injured patients being sent tonight, she could tell how intense the battle would be tonight.
Needless to say, Sheng Ze was definitely on the front line again, and Shen Xiao was in charge of the ordnance and would definitely not retreat to the rear. Both of them made her uneasy.
