Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Despite the loss of many people.

But Jiang Kaiyu and Huangfu Taiping did not stop.

They discovered Qin Ming's problem.

A long time has passed since the fight with Qin Ming.

With every battle, the number of soldiers under Qin Ming's command would decrease.

After a long battle, there was no replenishment.

This will cause the power he currently possesses to gradually decline.

This is the gap between Qin Ming and the imperial court.

The court could continuously send soldiers to reinforce the battlefield.

Thus destroying all his military strength.

But Qin Ming only occupied Lingnan, and it was not so easy to replenish his soldiers.

As one side gains strength while the other loses strength, Qin Ming's situation will be very dangerous.

"My Lord, shall we continue?"

At this time, some soldiers nearby had already shown signs of disintegration.

Then several generals came forward and asked Jiang Kaiyu questions.

Jiang Kaiyu waved his hand lightly and said:

"Of course we continue. We've already come this far, there's no reason to retreat!"

His strategy was simple, no matter how many of his soldiers Qin Ming's men could kill.

As long as Qin Ming’s men can be wiped out.

Then this battle is in your favor.

"He wants to fight a tug-of-war!"

Qin Ming soon realized something was wrong.

In the past, Jiang Kaiyu and Huangfu Taiping saw Qin Ming.

As long as there is a threat during the collision with him.

They would retreat quickly, preserve their troops, and wait until they were fully prepared next time before crushing Qin Ming with numbers.

But this time it was completely different, they fought so tenaciously.

Never retreat, exchange life for life, and never stop even if there are heavy losses!

"He wants to wear down our forces!"

Jiang Kaiyu's actions quickly made Chang Baishan and others react.

They stepped forward one after another, ready to kill as many of these people as possible.

In fact, they were right. Qin Ming only had more than 30,000 soldiers.

That many people seemed like a lot.

There is plenty of it piled up in a county town.

But looking at the entire Lingnan.

After their soldiers were divided into different garrisons, they seemed a little stretched.

Especially now when we take the initiative.

More than 10,000 people is already Qin Ming's limit!

All Qin Ming could muster was an army of more than 10,000 men.

"Qin Ming, I've found your weakness!"

Jiang Kaiyu laughed loudly, his face full of arrogance.

I originally thought that Qin Ming was invincible, but after I truly saw through Qin Ming's plan.

Jiang Kaiyu understood why Qin Ming was so anxious to fight.

It’s actually very simple. Qin Ming mainly wants to show his momentum.

As long as they can scare Jiang Kaiyu and Huangfu Taiping's men, they will have a huge advantage on the battlefield.

It is even possible to attack to the west of the lake.

But things did not go as planned, and Jiang Kaiyu quickly understood Qin Ming's thoughts.

"Everyone, don't panic. We have at least 50,000 troops here, but Qin Ming's army has no reinforcements. If we can slowly wear them down, we will win this battle!"

"Everyone, don't worry. The one who should be anxious is King Qin!!"

Qin Ming's people are indeed very powerful.

But his soldiers could kill one, two, or even three or four.

But if these soldiers died, then nothing would happen at all.

Jiang Kaiyu also knew that he was no match for Qin Ming.

So he turned around and rode back to the rear.

He continued to influence Qin Ming with words.

"Your Highness, Prince Qin, your firearms are powerful, but what good are they?"

"The imperial workshop has already begun operations. In another month, my army will have countless firearms."

"By then, you'll all be finished!"

His words had a great impact on the thoughts of the soldiers on the scene.

The most important thing in war is morale.

Qin Ming understood what he meant and laughed out loud:

"Jiang Kaiyu, don't be so confident. Don't you have any idea of ​​what your previous weapons looked like?"

Qin Ming's words were like a needle piercing the hearts of the Daqian army.

"Given the quality of the firearms you make, how can you possibly stand up to this king?"

"The court is doomed to fail. Now, avatar, I can spare your lives!"

Facing Qin Ming's provocation, Jiang Kaiyu still said firmly:

"Your Highness, there's no need to bluff. I'm just asking you this: from now on, we can work tirelessly to deplete your power."

"All our men have died, but there will definitely be new soldiers coming from the imperial court to replenish us."

"But what about you? You have no way to replenish your soldiers. Am I right?"

He grasped the key point and was determined to kill Qin Ming.

But at this time, Chang Baishan, who had noticed something unusual, had already followed the chaos of the army and lurked beside him.

"Jiang Kaiyu, you are spreading rumors here to confuse the public. Are you afraid of dying?"

"That's ridiculous! I've been through countless wars, how could I possibly be afraid?"

Jiang Kaiyu was startled when he saw Chang Baishan suddenly appear.

The guards around him quickly protected him in the most central area.

Seeing this scene, Chang Baishan laughed even more arrogantly.

"If you're truly not afraid, why do you continue to cower behind your own men?"

"You don't need to worry about this!"

Jiang Kaiyu yelled at him angrily.

"Then give it a try with me, let me see if you're just pretending or a true hero!"

As Chang Baishan finished speaking, the long sword in his hand suddenly chopped down.

The two sides fought together.

This was their first real battle.

Qin Ming's soldiers have already achieved what Chen Shimao originally requested.

They possessed the power of one against many and had penetrated into the heart of Lake West.

Thinking of this, Qin Ming charged more fiercely on the battlefield.

After several hours of bloody fighting, it was already dawn.

In the end, Jiang Kaiyu and Huangfu Taiping's troops could not hold on any longer and began to retreat the camp with their soldiers.

Both sides suffered heavy losses.

Qin Ming lost at least half of his soldiers in this battle.

Not only was almost all the gunpowder in their hands used up, but even their war horses, weapons, armor and other military supplies were lost in astonishing numbers.

As for Jiang Kaiyu, he also suffered a great loss.

He didn't know how many soldiers he had deployed in this battle, almost the entire army was mobilized.

The battlefield was a sea of ​​blood and corpses, and the blood dyed the earth red.

"Go and count the battle situation."

At the end of the war, Qin Ming gave some instructions to Chang Baishan and the others, and then took the initiative to lead people to check their casualties.

After this battle, they were almost burning money.

Any battle is actually a contest of hard power and soft power between the two sides.

"Your Highness, we only have about 4,000 soldiers capable of action left, and countless more are injured."

Cao Chuan quickly counted the battle losses and reported the situation to Qin Ming.

No matter how strong their army is, there will be casualties once the war begins.

After hearing about so many injuries, Qin Ming felt extremely heavy.

Cao Chuan immediately said:

"But the good news is that we killed nearly 20,000 enemy soldiers this time. They will definitely not attack again in the short term."

The enemy suffered heavy casualties, with 20,000 dead and at least double the number of wounded!

They absolutely won't dare to take action within these few days!

Even if Qin Ming only has 4,000 soldiers, they will still be cautious!

"Keep moving forward and capture Xiasha City."
