Even emperors have it tough, so don't be too picky about the entries.

Wang Yuanji had a very accurate grasp of the battlefield.

If the Great Yan army were to confront them head-on, they would be no match for the Hedong army.

Chen Shao understood this principle well, so from beginning to end he never considered confronting the other party directly.

When he led his army to the bridgehead, he glanced back at the rapidly approaching Hedong army.

"Cross the river!"

A surrendered general from Liaocheng immediately tried to dissuade him.

"Your Majesty, you mustn't!"

"After crossing the sky, you will soon reach a swampy area, which is comparable to a dead end."

"If we cross the river, there will be no way out."

Chen Shao didn't bother to explain.

He said sternly:

"I have my own plans. All soldiers, simply obey my command and cross the river!"

Despite his strong leadership, many people had doubts.

But most people had complete faith in Chen Shao.

This emperor always manages to create miracles.

The Milky Way is tens of feet wide and its depth is unfathomable.

Is Liaocheng a natural fortress?

Liu Siyuan of Liaocheng?

Weren't they all easily dealt with without bloodshed?

The army immediately surged toward the bridge.

Fortunately, the bridge is not too narrow, allowing many people to cross at once.

With so many people, it's inevitable that some will fall.

The Milky Way is several meters wide, and the current is swift; a misstep means certain death.

After crossing the bridge, the army regrouped on the opposite bank and rested briefly.

...

The elite troops from Hedong descended like tigers from the mountains, arriving with lightning speed.

They caught up with the other person at the bridgehead the moment they crossed the river.

The army halted at this location.

Wang Yuanji looked at the disheveled figures on the opposite bank and laughed loudly.

Laughter was hearty and cheerful, and everyone was in high spirits.

"Chen Shao, Chen Shao, you've got the path to heaven but you refuse to take it, and the gate to hell you insist on entering."

He turned and waved to the army, "All troops, cross the bridge! Capture Chen Shao alive!"

With his mouth gagged, Chen Jing kept making muffled noises, his eyes wide open.

Wang Yuanji glanced at him and laughed:

"Your Highness, I know what you're trying to say. You mean we should stop chasing him and just block him here until he runs out of supplies, right?"

Chen Jing shook his head desperately.

Wang Yuanji sneered, his anger simmering for a long time.

Leave the professional tasks to the professionals.

"If Your Highness is not good at fighting, then stop interfering."

"Chen Shao has grain; he can outlast us. How can we afford to wait?"

"He's now facing certain death. Even if he tries to use this to boost morale for a desperate fight, he's nothing but a chicken and a dog before the elite army I personally trained!"

"The gap in strength cannot be bridged by a little morale."

"not to mention."

"That scoundrel Chen Shao desecrated my Wang family's ancestral graves! This is an irreconcilable feud!"

"Every second he lives is like swallowing a needle for me!"

At Wang Yuanji's command, the army from Hedong began to cross the river.

Elite is elite.

Despite fleeing in disarray all night, the 100,000 troops still managed to maintain their disciplined military bearing.

This is enough to show how strict and experienced the Hedong military governor was in managing his troops.

The crossing of the river was carried out in an orderly manner.

After crossing the bridge, the vanguard did not rush to charge, but quickly formed ranks on the riverbank.

The card players crouched down in formation, with spearmen close behind them, and archers in the third row nocking their arrows.

One team after another, all in perfect order.

Wang Yuanji looked at Chen Shao, who was still reorganizing his troops several miles away.

A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.

"To not attack while the enemy is crossing the river is the act of a woman's compassion."

"Chen Shao, you were wise all your life, but you made a foolish mistake just now."

"I really overestimated you."

More and more troops are crossing the river.

The formation is becoming increasingly orderly.

The discipline of the elite troops from Hedong was on full display at this moment.

Just then, someone suddenly exclaimed.

Pointing to the bridge they had just crossed.

Wang Yuanji looked in the direction of the sound.

A group of people and horses charged down the mountain.

The leader was a towering figure, as tall as an iron tower; it was none other than Dian Wei.

He led several hundred Iron Fist Army soldiers straight towards the bridgehead.

Dian Wei stopped by the river and, without pausing, picked up a huge rock from the riverbank.

It weighs at least several hundred kilograms.

"What is this bastard going to do?"

Wang Yuanji stared blankly, lost in thought.

Chen Shao actually has such a fierce general under his command?

The next moment, his pupils dilated, and he saw that the iron-towered man actually lifted the boulder high above his head and smashed it hard against the stone bridge pier.

boom!

The loud noise startled people on both sides of the strait.

The bridge pillars collapsed instantly, sending rubble flying everywhere.

"General! They're dismantling the bridge, cutting off our retreat!"

"visible."

Wang Yuanji snorted coldly.

"Tear it down, tear it down! Their emperor is right here. Are they forcing us into a death battle? How ridiculous!"

He wasn't too worried about it.

As long as there are no ambushes on the other side, it is common for a large army to build bridges when encountering water.

"How could they even pull off such a foolish move?"

Wang Yuanji no longer paid any attention to that fool Dian Wei.

My current feeling is like a cat playing with a mouse.

He's no longer in a hurry.

The entire army has crossed the river; the next step is to crush the Great Yan army like ants.

Seeing that Chen Shao was still messing around in the distance.

Wang Yuanji then waved his hand dismissively:

"All troops, attack!"

He walked side by side with Chen Jing, and had someone pull the sock out of his mouth.

Chen Jing immediately gagged and gasped for air.

"Whose socks are these? How many days has it been since they washed their feet?!"

It really stinks...

It smelled even worse than the most pungent dry toilet he had ever seen.

Chen Jingqian vomited until he was almost vomiting bile before wiping his mouth.

Wang Yuanji, standing nearby, smiled and apologized:

"Your Highness, I only resorted to this desperate measure just now. After all, Your Highness's words are truly too sharp... I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Chen Jing ultimately dared not fall out with Wang Yuanji.

After all, he was counting on the other party to help him turn the tide.

"It's alright, it's alright."

"What was Your Highness about to say?"

When it came to serious matters, Chen Jing's expression immediately turned serious, and he quickly got into the zone.

"General, I still feel something is wrong."

"Chen Shao is a cunning fellow; how could he have gotten himself into such a predicament?"

"I suspect he must have a way to cross the river, so he used the humiliation of digging up ancestral graves to lure us across."

"Then he crossed back, dismantled the stone bridge, and we were trapped like turtles in a jar."

Wang Yuanji pointed around and laughed:

"Your Highness truly has great faith in this brother."

"The surface of the Dutian River looks calm and peaceful, but the currents beneath are turbulent."

"Even the best swimmer can't reach the other side if he jumps in."

"Besides, how will Chen Shao get there with such a large army?"

"Fly over?"

Several generals around him also burst into laughter.

"That's utter nonsense."

"If he could really fly, would we have forced him here?"

"I heard he proclaimed himself some kind of all-powerful Great Sage True Lord. Others didn't believe him, but he did."

"Hahaha."

"Hey? Look! What's Chen Shao doing?"

"He ordered the soldiers to throw all their riding whips into the river? What was he doing?"

"Using a whip to fill the river? Hahahaha!"

............................

I didn't want to say this, but I just couldn't help it. There are some things I don't quite understand. The female characters are just there for decoration, and there's a harem tendency. If you don't like them, there's no need to keep criticizing them, joining in the criticism every day. If you want to read proper historical fiction, go to the website next door!

My writing is all so abstract, from "Defending the City" to "Seven Days" and this book, they're all a bit nonsensical, with female characters making jokes.

Oh, my poor score...
