I am a commoner, but I will lead the empress to unify the world
Chapter 679 The war begins
Shaanxi City.
night.
After a meeting this morning and an inspection of the military camp in the afternoon to boost morale, the empress finally had some free time. After annotating some memorials and having dinner, she took a walk in the yard with Shen Changgong.
There were only the two of them here. Although the other women were anxious, they would not compete with the emperor for the man on the first night.
Two people walked hand in hand in the moonlight.
Yan Fuyao said,
"The battle will begin tomorrow. Tell me, should I lead the army in person and accompany the soldiers? This will help boost morale."
"Pull him down."
Shen Changgong refused without mercy.
"As soon as your dragon chariot and imperial flag appear, the enemy will rush towards you like crazy, desperately trying to defeat you. One person's desperate efforts are enough to defeat ten. As long as they can capture you, they will win a great victory.
Even if we can't capture you, if the enemy attacks you, we will have to transfer troops back to defend, and then our formation will be in chaos.
If you retreat, morale will be completely lost and the entire line will be defeated.
This kind of thing affects the entire body. If you want to watch, just stand on the top of the city wall and watch. Leaving the city is absolutely not allowed."
There are many cases in Chinese history where the emperor personally led an army to fight.
For example, Liu Xiu, Liu Yu, Li Shimin, Zhao Kuangyin, etc. were all very powerful, commanding troops to kill enemies and charging into battle.
But that's because they have high martial arts skills and are good at fighting, and they are all excellent generals.
If the enemy has poor military strength and no command ability, then leading the army in person will not only have no good effect, but will be a disaster.
Like Zhao Guangyi, the driving god of Gaoliang River, he took on the porcelain job even though he didn't have the skills.
For example, Yelu Yanshi of the Liao Dynasty personally led an army of 700,000, but was defeated by 20,000 Jurchens because he took the lead in fleeing.
For example, Zhu Qizhen, a Ming Dynasty student studying abroad, was the only one to be captured on the grassland in the past five hundred years.
Therefore, Shen Changgong has always been opposed to the emperor leading the army in person, but the emperor did not listen to him and insisted on going to the front line.
Come on then, but forget about going to the battlefield.
After hearing what Shen Changgong said, Yan Fuyao looked at her slender arms and finally nodded and said,
"Well then, I'll watch the battle from the top of the city wall. I don't know how far I can see with a telescope, but the battlefield must be huge."
"Of course. On a battlefield with over a million soldiers and dozens of miles between east and west, communication alone is a huge problem. It all depends on the level of the generals below.
However, our generals of Dayan are no worse than those of the enemy, so our army still has great hope of winning this battle.
By the way, when you are in the city tomorrow, help me keep a close eye on Yu Ziling. Keep her by your side and don’t let her run around.
I'm worried that she might act on impulse and take the Yuying Army with her to the battlefield. Nothing can happen to either her or you."
"I understand. I'm not a child. I don't need you to keep telling me what to do."
"How can I not worry about you? You are my little wife, the best woman in the world, the little treasure in my heart, how can I not protect you?"
Yan Fuyao rolled his eyes at him and smiled.
"Shame on you! You're saying something so disgusting! Isn't it disgusting?"
"What's so disgusting about that? This king just likes you, woman. You have already deeply attracted this king's attention."
Shen Changgong lifted Yan Fuyao's chin and said in a very greasy tone.
"Go away, you annoying bastard."
"Say it again, you said you hate it~~, act like a spoiled child."
"You want me to act like a spoiled child to you?"
Yan Fuyao narrowed his eyes, and the emperor's majesty and dominance instantly poured out.
The Empress's majesty cannot be violated.
Shen Changgong didn't buy her trick. He put his arm around her waist, picked her up, kissed her on the lips, and then pulled her into the room.
The young couple came into the room. After a short separation, they felt like newlyweds. Just by looking at each other, they knew what the other was thinking.
Shen Changgong closed the door, took the empress's hand, walked to the bed together, and let her sit on his lap.
Under the flickering candlelight at night, the empress's pretty face looked particularly charming, less domineering and more charming.
Yan Fuyao put on a teasing smile and said with a disdainful look,
"Little man, I know you are deeply infatuated with me. Today, I will show you mercy and grant you a chance to serve me. You must remember that this is my grace, which others cannot even ask for."
Shen Changgong climbed up a hill and said with a smile,
"Your Majesty's reward is a reward of your own body? Then, in the entire world, no one except me can receive this honor, right?"
"That... isn't necessarily true. It depends on how you perform."
"I will do my utmost to show my ferocity on the battlefield and not let Your Majesty down."
"Really? Tsk, haven't you been completely drained by that little devil Mei Yan these days?
Can your old waist still bear it?"
"Haha, don't beg for mercy when your back hurts from the collision later."
"Come on horseback!"
Shen Changgong laughed and let his clothes be torn off.
The general and I took off our battle robes and spent the spring night in the warm hibiscus tent.
……
The next morning, Shen Changgong got up early and did not accompany the emperor for morning exercises because he needed to maintain his strength to go into battle and command.
Today is the day of war, and it is also a crucial battle that determines whether Dayan can unify the world.
The couple got up, the empress put on the dragon robe, and Shen Changgong put on the armor. After breakfast, the empress, Fairy Mei Yan, and Yu Ziling went up to the city wall to set up defenses.
As for Tang Youxiang and Jiang Ruoxue, they were destined to be hard-working and were assigned to handle official business. However, after half an hour, they quietly ran to the city wall and looked outside with the empress holding telescopes.
Neither of them had ever seen such a large-scale battle, and they were very curious and wanted to witness this grand battle with their own eyes.
In the military camps outside the city, the army marched out one after another. The Yan army was fully armed, holding weapons and dragging artillery as they walked out.
The Tianyu Army marched eastward to fight against the Chu Army. Another 50,000 Zhennan Army assisted from the side and formed a battle formation early.
The other legions, the Zhengnan Army, the Pingnan Army, the Shenfeng Army and the Tianying Army, totaling 500,000 people, lined up in the middle and west, ready to meet the Qian Army.
There were another 50,000 Zhennan troops waiting in the rear of the main army for an opportunity to strike.
The Yan army had a total of seven legions, with a total of 850,000 people. Except for the Yuying Army that stayed behind, all other legions went into battle.
This time, their goal is to severely damage the Qian army, and the best result is to annihilate it completely.
Yan Fuyao stood on the top of the city wall, holding a telescope, looking at the neatly arranged square formations in the distance.
Looking to the east, there is no end in sight, and the same is true when looking to the west.
There were dense crowds of people, and everywhere were Yan army soldiers with black flags and black armor.
Seeing this scene, Yan Fuyao suddenly felt proud and said with satisfaction,
"This is the mighty army of Great Yan, invincible and unstoppable. I can bet that Great Yan will win this battle!"
