"Report!"

"Reporting to the general, the rebels left Nangang early this morning and are now heading towards Nanze along the official road without concealment. They just passed Majiapo an hour ago."

"Their troops number about 100,000, and they also have firearms!"

On the Datong Tower, the scout who had just returned from the investigation reported to the commander-in-chief Jin Zhengxi. After listening to his words, Jin Zhengxi frowned and fell into deep thought.

Since Jin Fengluan issued the order last night, he gathered troops and horses and rushed here overnight, and then stationed here. In his previous assumptions, Jin Zhengxi estimated that the rebels should leave Nangang in the next few days. Regarding their plans, We also have a rough estimate of the troops and horses.

Even if all the rebels who landed in Nangang by boat disembarked and headed to Nanze, there would not be too many soldiers and horses. But now he has 200,000 well-trained soldiers and horses in his hands, and there is also a group of soldiers under King Qing. Soldiers from the Wanshen Machine Battalion.

Although his own troops are far superior to the rebels in this case, Kim Jong-hee has always been worried about how many firearms the rebels have.

But at this moment, he heard that the other party actually had one hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and they were accompanied by firearms. This was beyond Jin Zhengxi's expectation.

"How come there are so many people... This may be a bit troublesome..." Jin Fengxi bit the corner of his lip, frowning and talking to himself.

After the words fell, the youngest son Jin Zhou on the side said:

"Dad, what's the problem?"

"For us, this is not bad news."

"Although I still don't understand why they have more troops, so what? Our troops are twice as strong as the rebels! With more people fighting fewer people, we still occupy a higher ground. How can we be invincible!"

"They walked on the official road openly and arrogantly. They didn't take our court seriously at all. This time we have to kill them without leaving any trace!"

Jin Zhengxi still frowned and said nothing, but looked at his eldest son Jin Tan.

This time when he led the troops into battle, except for his second son Jin Xuan, who was serving in the Royal Guards, the other two sons followed him as deputy generals. Although it was not necessary to do so as a rule, they still had to go out together. Jin Zhengxi had no choice but to agree.

At this moment, after seeing his father's gaze, Jin Tan said in a deep voice:

"The rebels have firearms."

"If they don't have firearms, even if they are brave and good at fighting, we can defeat them frontally with more troops."

"But with firearms, everything is different. Not to mention 100,000 people, even if it is less, it will be an extremely hard nut to crack."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Zhou raised his eyebrows and said:

"So what if they have it, we have it too!"

"Isn't there a Shenji battalion in the military camp that is ready for war? They have matchlocks and artillery!"

"We have more soldiers and horses, what's there to worry about?" Jin Zhou said with an excited face and patted his chest.

"That's different."

"They are both firearms, but they are also different."

"Although we have never seen rebels taking out firearms in past battles, since they have them, they are definitely not for display."

"As for us, we have actually never used it on a formal battlefield. No one can guarantee how effective it will be." Kim Zhengxi frowned and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Tan nodded and said:

"Dad is right."

"Although the prince and others say that these firearms are powerful, to be honest, I haven't seen them before. I have seen misfires and explosions several times."

"The time we have spent studying these weapons is still too short, and they may not be able to play a particularly big role."

"In my opinion, the 200,000-strong army must still be used as the main force. The Shenji Battalion can only serve as the icing on the cake. If they are used as killing weapons, I'm afraid it won't work now."

Jin Zhou's expression changed, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "That's not true."

"Why are you so unsure? Do the rebels' firearms have to be useful?!"

As soon as these words came out, Jin Tan laughed dumbly, while Jin Zhengxi stroked his beard and said:

"You'll know after one fight."

After saying this, Jin Zhengxi shook his head and sighed slightly:

"At this point, is there any other choice?"

"have nothing left."

Looking at his father's face, Jin Tan bit the corner of his lip and whispered:

"Normally, these two princes speak nicely. When it comes time to go to the battlefield, they retreat. If you ask me to tell you, dad, you shouldn't ask for a battle. Let me see if they can sit still."

"You've already reached this age, why do you bother to come?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Zhou rolled his eyes and said to Jin Tan dissatisfied:

"Second brother, what are you talking about? If we fight this battle, we can win!"

"If we can successfully capture Qin Ze, it will be a great achievement! It will be a great achievement for us all. From top to bottom, everyone in our family will be honored. Dad can also be the protector of the country!"

Jin Tan glanced at him sideways and snorted: "Your Majesty likes people like you."

Jin Zhou agreed with this sentence, but he didn't like the look, so he felt that it was a mockery from his second brother, and then his face turned red:

"A good man shouldn't be timid, he should do it when it's time to do it!"

Jin Tan turned away, folded his arms and ignored him.

Jin Zhou, however, refused to give up, blushing and talking non-stop.

"That's enough!" Jin Zhengxi interrupted his younger son, and then slapped his eldest son on the shoulder.

Jin Tan turned his face and saw Jin Zhengxi's solemn look.

"Tan'er, you have to know that we must step forward at this time."

"Do you think that as a father, you are greedy for merit and seek rewards from His Majesty?"

Jin Zhengxi shook his head and laughed at himself: "My father went to the battlefield when he was a teenager. He has fought so many battles in his life. He watched our cadres come step by step and watched our Jin family flourish. ”

"As a father, I am also greedy for fame. In the past, I wanted to overpower Qin Haotian. I also wanted to lead troops to Jinling to defeat the rebels. Killing his son will create a good story and make my reputation spread longer."

"But, today, alas."

He sighed heavily, and a look of loneliness appeared on his face.

"The imperial court can no longer give me any reputation, and as a father, I am extremely disappointed with them."

When he said this, Jin Zhou's expression changed. He was surprised that his father would say such a thing. He immediately said: "Dad, how could you..."

Before he finished speaking, Jin Tan waved his hand and looked at him to signal him not to say any more. Jin Zhou moved his lips and swallowed the words after all.

Jin Tan lowered his eyes and sighed helplessly in his heart.

He knew why his father was disappointed.

He spent his entire life as a soldier before taking off his armor when he was old. In the past few decades, he has shed enough blood and sweat. He has a high degree of identification and sense of responsibility for Daqian.

My father had been furious before about foreigners, accusing him of not cooperating with foreigners like that, but his opposition was still too weak after all.

How many people in the court could listen? As the three most powerful people in the court, His Majesty and the two princes have already decided everything.

The frustrated father could only accept it silently, but to this day, he still chooses to lead troops to fight, so how can it be for His Majesty.

But at this time, Jin Zhengxi had already swept away his sad look. He stood on the tower with his chest raised, looking into the distance and saying:

"Stop talking about that."

"Since the rebels have passed Majiapo, they should be able to reach us by the afternoon."

"I have said before that if the rebels advance into Nanze, many people will die, and our Dagan will lose our name and disappear completely."

"We can't let our great efforts be ruined by our generation. That would be a great disservice to our ancestors."

"Soldiers are coming to block it, water is coming to cover it, and water is coming to cover it. Children, this time we have to try our best!"

He clenched his fists suddenly and shouted:

"For Da Qian!"

Jin Tan looked at his father resolutely and said loudly, "Yes!"

Jin Zhou looked excited and shouted: "Beat them till they are gone!"

The strong wind howled, Jin Zhengxi brushed away a strand of white hair hanging from his forehead, nodded with a smile: "Okay! As expected of his son!"

"What kind of reputation does the traitor have for the Yan Kingdom? It's so unpleasant to hear! How can I be as loud as I am!"

Then, hearty laughter gradually floated on the tower. Jin Zhengxi looked into the distance, then turned to look at his two sons, reaching out and patting them lightly on the shoulders.

"This time, the three of us, father and son, will fight together to protect me."

"We must defeat them!"
