I really don't want to be a traitor

Chapter 472 The First Battle
Take a day off.

Eight hundred thousand coalition troops broke out of camp and continued to advance eastward.

The army was like a huge black shadow, slowly extending to the east on the land.

Soon, when the army stopped again, they could already see the flags and camps of the Ming army in the distance.

Only a narrow and elongated river remained, a symbolic barrier between the two armies.

The coalition forces re-encamped.

Thousands of formation masters of different levels began to arrange various formations skillfully and quickly.

There are also many traps set up in the camp.

This busy schedule was naturally to prevent a sneak attack from the other side.

However, until the camp was established, no movement was seen from the Ming army.

The enemy was so quiet, but Fan Li frowned.

Because he understands the simplest truth:

The mountain cannot speak.

But silence cannot conceal the greatness of the mountain.

Therefore, the fact that the Ming army did not make a sneak attack was not powerless, just because they had absolutely strong self-confidence.

"Alas..." Fan Li sighed.

In his mind, now was not the best time to fight the Ming Dynasty, even if Emperor Jiajing was injured.

"Why did Prince Jin sigh?"

A majestic voice sounded in his ears.

Fan Li turned around and replied: "The war is coming, and I am somewhat nervous."

The person coming is Cao Cao.

"nervous?"

When Cao Cao heard this, he also sighed.

"This battle is even better than the battle between Yaoguang and Jiajing Island."

"In the past, the death of the second emperor of Qin Dynasty caused the ancestors of Chu, Han and Ming to fight for hegemony in the world. The situation may not be better than today."

Fan Li took a deep look at Cao Cao.

He wanted to persuade the alliance to withdraw its troops.

Cao Cao's preparations for the main attack on the Ming Dynasty were not inadequate.

He once explained to Fan Li and Sun Quan how he calculated the current military strength comparison between the Ming Dynasty and the three alliance countries.

Even with possible hidden soldiers and trump cards, for example, Prince Wanli fought to the death for Emperor Jiajing, or the pampered princes of the Ming Dynasty clan also participated in the battle.

The alliance's military strength is still stable above that of the Ming Dynasty.

Only the absolute strength of Emperor Jiajing, the number one person in the world, could not be shaken.

However, he had two battles with Yao Guang and Liu Bei, plus he personally killed the angel Li Changgeng. Even if he took a large amount of heaven-level elixirs, the accumulated hidden wounds could not be cured in a short time.

At least for now, Emperor Jiajing is definitely injured, and the injury is not serious!

"There are many heroes in the world!"

"I consider myself inferior to Jiajing and have no power to slay the dragon."

"But facing a wounded dragon, with King Jin, Emperor Chu, Emperor Wu, and Emperor Han all helping me, I still want to try to slay the dragon myself."

This is Cao Cao's determination.

Fan Li couldn't refute, but he felt ominous.

how many years?

Emperor Jiajing always seems to be able to give hope to his opponents. He clearly knows that he is not as good as him, but he still feels that he has an opportunity?
Yao Guang was like this, and Cao Cao is like this today.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty." Fan Li said softly: "The 200,000 garrison troops under my command will fight bloody battles until Your Majesty and Jiajing decide the winner."

There is no need to beat around the bush in the conversation between the two at this moment.

Wait for Cao Cao and Jiajing to decide the winner.

If Jiajing dies, the alliance army will continue to move forward, sweeping away the cities of the Ming Dynasty one by one, and finally swallowing up its territory.

If Cao Cao dies, Fan Li will immediately withdraw his troops and prioritize bringing Xiang Ning and the garrison back to Chu to preserve his strength.

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Cao Cao laughed loudly.

Of course he understood what Fan Li meant, and there was no trace of resentment in his laughter, only the freedom and heroism of seeing through the sophistication of human nature!
"Prince Jin, don't worry."

"I will fight until the last moment. If I don't succeed, I will succeed!"

Fan Li was shocked when he heard this!

He stared at Cao Cao with wide eyes. In front of him was the grey-bearded Wei Emperor. Although he was getting older, he was full of fighting spirit.

Even if it is a sunset, it still illuminates the earth and is as bright as the morning sun!
But what surprised Fan Li the most was what Cao Cao said just now. Fight to the last minute?
Even if you don't succeed, you will succeed?
That is to say, once defeated, Cao Cao will buy time for the coalition forces to withdraw?

Fan Li shook his head, unable to believe that such words came from the emperor's mouth.

"Boom!"

The sound of drums.

When the war drums of the coalition camp were beaten, almost at the same time, bursts of drums were also heard from the direction of Daming.

"Dong dong!"

"Dong dong dong dong!"

The sky seemed to be affected by the drumming, and the sea of ​​clouds gradually dispersed, revealing a cloudless blue sky.

The gates of the two military camps opened at the same time.

Countless soldiers, wearing armor and carrying swords, walked out of the camp in an orderly manner and lined up in formations on the river bank.

It's not like Fan Li has never seen elite soldiers and generals.

The Great Chu garrison was already a world-famous strong force.

However, it was also the first time for Fan Li to witness more than one million people from both armies lining up in formation.

"Fan Li, is this what fighting is like?"

Xiang Ning stood next to him. Although he was acting like an emperor, he was whispering like a curious baby.

"Why not use a plan?"

"Aren't the battles in the plays and picture books good at using various strategies?"

Fan Li smiled when he heard this.

"Your Majesty, there is indeed something wonderful and right in the art of war."

"But in the face of absolute power, it is difficult to use simple strategies. If you rely too much on it, you will become a clown."

When he said this, various famous strategies in the art of war also flashed through Fan Li's mind.

What about besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao, falsely attacking Guo, making false claims to the east and attacking in the west, crossing Chencang secretly, etc.

But with an army of practitioners, as long as the food, grass and baggage are prepared in advance, there is no longer the burden of transportation and storage.

Most of the elite soldiers are incapacitated, and those strategies of cutting off food and grass will no longer be effective.

Qi Ming, there is a lot less room for display.

"No need for strategy?" Xiang Ning asked in a low voice, "How to fight this battle?"

Fan Li thought for a moment and replied: "When two armies fight, the brave one wins."

In fact, fighting with strength instead of wits is Cao Cao's strategy.

After the battle on Yaoguang Island, the ten-year plan became a joke.

With the lessons learned from the past, Cao Cao planned to plot against Jiajing, but he would be looking down on the best person in the world.

The two armies are in formation.

However, the leaders of the two armies, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Xiang Ning, Fan Li, and Emperor Jiajing on the other side of the river, did not appear in front of the battle, and still settled in their respective Chinese army camps.

In the first battle, there was only a wave of tentative attacks.

The army moved.

The first to begin crossing the river was a battalion of soldiers and horses from the fallen camp of the Wei army, led by a general in golden armor.

On the opposite side, a general rushed out from the Ming army, leading an army of more than 10,000 people.

When the two armies met in the river, they both marched against the water.

"Jiang Boyang, the right minister of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty, is here. Please tell me who the traitor general is across from you!" Jiang Boyang pointed his gun at the Wei general and shouted.

His cultivation is superb, his spiritual energy bursts out instantly, and he is actually a seventh-level powerhouse in the God Transformation Realm!
"Ah! This man is so strong!" Xiang Ning watched in the tent and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Over the years, she has improved a lot in her cultivation.

But to her, a seventh-level general in the Transformation of God Realm was still considered a strong one.

General Wei did not reply and directly commanded the army to fight.

About 20,000 people from both sides were instantly strangled into a mass on the river.

"General Wei is rude!"

Fan Li even heard the angry roar of the right minister of the Ministry of War named Jiang Boyang.

However, the roar soon turned into a scream.

Jiang Boyang's head was so big that he didn't know when it had been chopped off by General Wei and held in his hand.

The situation of the battle quickly reversed, and the Wei army soldiers began to massacre the Ming army one-sidedly.

Except for a few Ming soldiers who fled back to their home village, the rest were all killed near the river bank.

At this time, I heard General Wei say to Jiang Boyang's head: "A certain family's surname is Xiahou, and the single name is Yuan. He is General Zhengdong of the Great Wei Dynasty. Do you remember it?"
