Chapter 760: Opportunity to Retake Jiangnan
"Within three days?"
Jiang Chen felt more at ease after hearing Yan Youling's analysis.
Three days is a good time for them to rest and recuperate!
After resting, fight with the Eighth Wise Kings!
The Eighth Wise King now has only some remnants of his army left, so there is no need to worry about them at all!
On the other side, the Eighth Wise King ran a long way and stopped only after he was sure that there were no enemy troops following him!
After stopping, the Eighth Wise King sat down on the ground!
"My lord! Are you okay?"
When General Tian saw the Eighth Wise King sitting on the ground, he hurried over to support him!
"My king... My king is fine, I just feel a little exhausted..."
"Go and check on the soldiers."
The Eighth Wise King spoke weakly.
After four days of fighting, he was exhausted both physically and mentally.
Coupled with the escape just now, he couldn't bear it anymore!
So, when I stopped, I couldn't stand it anymore.
When the Eighth Wise King was resting, his personal guard handed him a water bag.
The Eighth Wise King took a few gulps and regained some strength.
About half an hour later, General Tian came back with a serious expression.
"General Tian, what's the situation?"
When the Eighth Wise King saw General Tian’s expression, his heart sank.
"Your Majesty, we now have less than 20,000 people!"
"Only 16,000 people are left who can fight."
"Also, our weapons and armor are severely damaged. If we continue the battle... I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will be difficult..."
General Tian said in a deep voice.
When the Eighth Wise King heard what General Tian said, his face was full of helplessness.
He never expected that he would end up like this!
I remember how he was full of vigor and ambition when he took over Jiangnan!
But now, less than two months have passed.
He has already spent all his family fortune!
If he continues like this, he will probably end up dead!
He...he is unwilling to accept this!
……
"Your Highness, what should we...what should we do next?" General Tian looked at the Eighth Wise King with a serious expression.
"call……"
The Eighth Wise King took a deep breath and said.
“Now, what else can we do?”
"Fight, maybe we can't win."
"Escape...where can we escape to?"
The Eighth Wise King’s face was filled with pain.
"This……"
When General Tian heard what the Eighth Wise King said, his face turned pale instantly.
The Eight Wise Kings have lost the will to fight!
What can these people do?
If…if this continues, they…they will be doomed! ?
This... this is absolutely not possible!
"Your Majesty, you...you have to cheer up!"
"If you can't cheer up, what are we supposed to do?"
"Your Majesty, you must remember that you still have us. We always support you, Your Majesty. No matter what time, we support you!"
General Tian said to the Eighth Wise King with a determined look on his face.
"General Tian..."
The Eighth Wise King looked at General Tian with a moved look on his face.
At this time, General Tian was still willing to support him.
It's such an honor for him!
"Your Majesty, you must not be discouraged!"
“We can definitely develop again!”
"Your Majesty..."
General Tian continued to persuade the Eighth Wise King.
And with the persuasion of General Tian, the Eighth Wise King also regained his fighting spirit!
The Eighth Wise King thought for a moment and said, "Even if we have to escape, we must escape with dignity!"
"Order the team to rest for three days!"
"Three days later, we will go to Jinling and fight Jiang Chen!"
"After this battle, we will retreat towards Jingzhou County!"
……
"Jingzhou County?"
General Tian was delighted when he heard this.
Then Jingzhou County is more suitable for them than Jiangnan!
Jingzhou County is easy to defend but difficult to attack!
Although Jingzhou County is only one county in size, it is not as large as the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River.
But now they have few troops!
It would be more suitable to go to Jingzhou County!
In addition to these, the most important point is that the Eighth Wise King has once again regained his fighting spirit!
This is the most important thing!
If the Eighth Wise Kings have no fighting spirit, then everything they do is in vain!
Only if the Eight Wise Kings have fighting spirit can they have a chance to survive!
Noon the next day.
The morale of the Eighth Wise King's men has recovered somewhat.
They set up camp and were resting.
The Eighth Wise King also adjusted his mood and became more motivated!
At this moment, General Tian came into the tent!
"Your Majesty, General Feng has sent someone here!"
"Um!?"
When the Eighth Wise King heard the name of General Feng, his eyes changed instantly!
General Feng, he has been looking for this General Feng for a long time!
After the Eighth Wise King returned to Jiangnan, he wanted to find General Feng!
Because he felt that he was short of troops at that time!
If General Feng joins, their team will definitely be even stronger!
But he searched for a long time but couldn't find General Feng!
Now, General Feng has taken the initiative to appear!
This... is really interesting!
"Bring the people here!"
"Yes!"
Following the order from the Eighth Wise King, General Tian hurriedly brought General Feng's men.
"I've met the prince!"
When General Feng's men saw the Eighth Wise King, they saluted respectfully!
"Well, no need to be polite."
"General Feng asked you to come here. Is there something wrong?" the Eighth Wise King asked calmly.
……
"Your Highness, our general ordered me to deliver a letter to you!" said the general, taking out a letter.
"letter?"
The Eighth Wise King frowned slightly.
He asked General Tian to take the letter and then began to read it.
However, when he saw the content of the letter, the Eighth Wise King was stunned!
"General Feng... is so smart!"
In the letter, General Feng asked Jiang Chen to pray for rain again!
If Jiang Chen fails in his prayer for rain this time, then Jiangnan... might be able to return to the hands of the Eighth Wise King!
Thinking of this, the Eighth Wise King became even more excited!
"Go back and tell me how I thank you, General!"
"This favor, I will remember!"
"Yes!"
The general accepted the order respectfully, then turned around and strode away!
"Your Majesty, is General Feng going to help us?"
General Tian looked at the Eighth Wise King excitedly!
The Eighth Wise King expressed his gratitude to General Feng!
Could it be that General Feng has decided to help them! ?
"Help us?"
The Eighth Sage King laughed coldly and said, "That Feng guy is extremely sinister. He can only help us when we are at a disadvantage."
"Then...Your Majesty, you said to thank him..." General Tian looked puzzled.
Seeing this, the Eighth Wise King did not explain, but handed the letter to General Tian.
General Tian looked confused, but still took the letter and opened it.
However, when General Tian saw the contents of the letter, he was stunned!
"This... this method of General Feng is worth a try!"
"The people of Jiangnan worship Jiang Chen all because of that prayer for rain."
"If Jiang Chen fails to pray for rain this time, he will be pulled down from the altar..."
"By then, Jiangnan...will still be ours!"
"Hahahaha!"
The Eighth Wise King laughed out loud; "What a chance!"
"This is our chance to take back Jiangnan!"
