Chapter 472 The Eve of the War

The moonlight was hazy, there was no sound in the woods, and all the Shu troops were sleeping with their clothes, making no sounds.

The bonfire was not born and the horses were not brought nearby, so the place where the Shu army lurked was very quiet.

Su Chen and Peng Qingqing sat back to back together, looking at the bright moon above the forest, and were both a little dazed.

Who would have thought that the two of them had fought side by side since they first met to their mutual support now?

All of this is like a dream, unreal.

"You said, can we win tomorrow?"

"Yes!" Although Su Chen felt guilty, it was time for him to give himself confidence.

In history, the Shu army was defeated and no ambush was set up here.

Since Su Chen brought his troops here to ambush the Song army, it means a change in direction.

This is a breakout!

Only when Shu Kingdom does not fall can the Southern Tang Dynasty stabilize.

Nan Tang is where he took root, with his confidants, Han Xizai, Xu Xuan, and his wealthy family. He was a little reluctant to leave Nan Tang.

Since God asked him to appear in the Southern Tang Dynasty, he would contribute to the Southern Tang Dynasty unless the Southern Tang defeated him first.

But now it seems that the Southern Tang royal family is too late to spoil him, so they should not let him down. (I will draw a key point, and I will take the exam in the future)

"But, I think you are the only one who has confidence in the three armies!"

Peng Qingqing expressed her experience.

Although she has a straightforward personality, she is not stupid, especially when she travels with Su Chen, her mind seems to be much more mature all of a sudden, and she is no longer the reckless nature she used to be.

Perhaps because I have learned a lot of military strategy, I like to think about everything and have a significant growth.

Peng Qingqing could see that the Shu army was a little afraid of the Song army. Although there were 12,000 soldiers and 23,000 soldiers here, if they really fought, the outcome was unpredictable.

I guess even the second prince himself is unsure.

"Qingqing, we can only win tomorrow, otherwise we may not be able to escape. Unless we stand at the end from beginning to end and see that the situation is not good, we will leave directly."

Su Chen expressed this idea.

Peng Qingqing shook her head when she heard this: "But I know you are so you can't do it. Since you promised the second prince to help him resist the Song army, then you will definitely rush up at the last moment!"

That's right, this is Su Chen. He usually doesn't have a temper, is elegant and modest, and is easy to talk, but once he gets serious, he is also very tough!

He promised to help the second prince Meng Xuanyu. At this critical moment, he would never be afraid of turning around. This is not Su Chen's character.

Peng Qingqing seemed to see through this, so she was worried at this moment.

The longer they get along, the more Peng Qingqing understands him.

Su Chen didn't say anything, turned around, looked at Peng Qingqing's cheek, and said, "Do your best tomorrow. If it is really impossible to save it, you can only settle for the second best. There is still a line of defense at Jianmen Pass, so there is no need to fight here. No matter what, we want to return to Runzhou alive, and you promise to marry me in three years."

When Peng Qingqing heard him say this, she felt relieved, and was worried that Su Chen would admit his mistakes and insist on following the Shu army to fight to the end, which would be a disaster.

After all, in Peng Qingqing's eyes, this is Shu Kingdom, not the Tang Kingdom in Jiangnan. She has no obligation to fight to the end here, wrap her body around her, and sacrifice her life for the country.

There are enough promises to Meng Xuanyu.

"Yes, we still have a engagement, and you can't have any trouble. Otherwise, I will have to live a life of widowhood." Peng Qingqing solemnly reminded him.

This was the first time she had put a marriage contract for her whole life, and was a widow, and she would not say it before, but on the eve of the war, she was too nervous and didn't know what would happen tomorrow. She was worried about the standards that Su Chen grasped, so she said these words.

Su Chen looked at Peng Qingqing, who had beautiful facial features and heroic spirit, reached out and touched her cheek, and sighed: "Don't be a widow for me. If something happens to me, you can remarry at any time. Your life is short, don't treat yourself badly."

Before Peng Qingqing could finish his words, she reached out and pressed Su Chen's mouth, not allowing him to continue talking. It was unlucky.

"Su Chen, I, Peng Qingqing, only love you alone in this life. I will love you for the rest of my life and will not change it!"

Peng Qingqing's tone was firm, her eyes were clear, and she contained deep affection.

When Su Chen heard this, his heart seemed to be caught.

He had to admit that he was hit by this girl's words.

Peng Qingqing at this time deserves his life to care for and cherish for the rest of his life.

Su Chen didn't say much, as if those words seemed pale.

He leaned over and kissed Peng Qingqing's lips.

Then, they put their arms around each other and chewed hard.

After a long time, he separated his lips. Peng Qingqing seemed to be drunk, with a pink complexion, leaning against Su Chen's arms, quietly listening to the cries of insects and birds in the forest and shouting across the river bank.

Since we were going to cross the river tomorrow, many Song troops were laying floating bridges at the Shendu Wharf, and some small boats were paddling across the river and began to cross the river with ropes to build floating bridges.

There were also many soldiers working on bamboo rafts, wooden rafts, etc., and only a few of the boats were moored and were recruited by the Song army for use. The boatman here did not dare to say much.

That night, the Song army's logistics team kept preparing for crossing the river tomorrow morning.

When the sky was slightly bright, the Song army sent the first vanguard and hundreds of people crossed the river.

After crossing the river, the Song army began to complete the team and look for their own battalion.

From beginning to end, the Song army did not send scouts to the distant mountains and forests to investigate whether there were any ambush.

Perhaps it was Wang Quanbin, the commander of the Song army, who had never thought that the Shu army would expect the enemy to take the initiative and ambush here in advance. Secondly, even if the Shu army rushed over to block the city, but lost the advantage of the superiority of the city and the rushing on the plains of the river beach, would the Song army be afraid? Does the Shu army have the courage?

Because of this fixed thinking pattern, Wang Quanbin and the Song Army generals never thought about that place.

Seeing the Song army crossing the river and watching secretly, the Shu army nervously held the weapons and was about to fight soon.

"Brother Chen, how many Song troops are sent to cross the river? Is it the most appropriate?"

Meng Xuanyu asked in a low voice.
