Chapter 578 The Battle Continues

  If not for those, Shangguan Xiao would have long asked their father to find some trusted strategist to take care of his older brother just like what General Feng did to his first son.

  Long Qian Xing looked into the distance. "Do you think I should go back since you told me to go back there?"

  "You better stay here."

  "Hmm?"

  "Even if you go back, your opponent will be those from Shi Long Kingdom. There are not many who can go against you there." Shangguan Xiao looked at Long Qian Xing. "Stay here and help us."

  Long Qian Xing looked at the sneaky strategist in front of him. He had long heard that Shangguan Xiao was leaning closer to General Wei in terms of his tactic and capabilities. However, he didn't realize it until Shangguan Xiao said this.

  "Do you really think that Shangguan Xian is not enough?"

  "Big Brother is indeed good. However, he's not that good at using his brain." Shangguan Xiao smiled helplessly. "When facing those from Zhang Xu Kingdom, I don't think that he's their best match."

  It was true…

  Shangguan Xian was different from Shangguan Xiao who liked to use his brain and thought for many complicated tricks. It was the complete opposite. Shangguan Xian was a rather straightforward person who would fight based on his instinct.

  Sometimes, it was correct.

  But there were times when it was wrong.

  "I see, you're telling me that I'm a better match against Zhang Xu Kingdom people." Long Qian Xing rubbed his chin. "I thought you just told me to go back not long ago?"

  "I didn't say that you should go back to your post, but you should go back to our base and take some rest." Shangguan Xiao was thick skinned and decided to change his words immediately.

  Long Qian Xing looked at Shangguan Xiao and smirked. "I don't mind, but you're going to owe me a good wine."

  Shangguan Xiao was speechless.

  "You're still underage, Long Qian Xing."

  Long Qian Xing: "…"

  He really wanted to curse at the sky. In his original world, he was already in his early twenties when he crossed over. After a few years, he naturally had the mentality that he was already an adult.

  At this moment, he really forgot that this body of his was truly underage….

  "Give it after my marriage, then. At that time, I'll no longer be underage."

  "Sure."

  The soldiers around them, who were Shangguan Xiao's trusted attendants, were simply trying to keep a poker face. They were silently wondering how in the world that the deal to fight against the joint army ended up becoming a deal of treating meal and wine?

  But of course, they didn't dare to speak those out loud.

  They knew that they couldn't understand what was in the mind of those people who were using their brain to make their living.

  It was even more so when they were talking about these two famous young commanders.

  …

  Days passed quietly.

  It was basically a stalemate for the next few days. With Shangguan Xian and Long Qian Xing switched place, it could be said that the balance was maintained. Their soldiers were crossed through the river at night sneakily in order to give better battle result. After all, who would like to lead other people's soldiers when there were theirs?

  It took them a few days to completely switch their soldiers.

  Shangguan Xiao was more suitable to fight against those from Shi Long Kingdom. He was already used to fight them, so the advantage was on him as he was quite the powerful type.

  Long Qian Xing managed to thwarted the tricky formation and tactics that Prime Minister Lei used. Combined with Shangguan Xiao, the two of them managed to hold on their line and didn't allow the soldiers from Zhang Xu Kingdom to breach in. Of course, other commanders also played big role in this battle.

  The process was not that smooth.

  And Shangguan Xiao ended up owing a feast for Long Qian Xing after being exhorted by the young commander. Since he was indeed the one who needed Long Qian Xing, he didn't really mind having to pay for a feast.

  It was not like it would cost him that much.

  He had earned a lot after fighting on the battlefield for so many years.

  The middle was also in stalemate. However, Nan Hua was paying close attention to her grandfather's condition. He was not exactly in his prime condition anymore, so she didn't want him to overexert himself.

  Dueling with River General Pan for so many moves for the past week had taken the toll on his body.

  However, he still stood tall in front of his soldiers.

  He showed none of his weakness.

  Nan Luo and the others had already participated once more. They were mostly targeting the lower ranked commanders or cleaning up the battlefield. With their current number of soldiers, it was clear that they wouldn't be able to do anything that drastic either.

  The East was the quietest.

  There was another confrontation between General Mu and General Huang, but it ended in a tie. After that, it was quiet once more.

  There was rarely any noise up there.

  But other people knew that it was the tenser. Those who were fighting against General Wei would know that the best trait they needed would be patience. If they were not patient enough, they would fall for his trap easily.

  It was now the eight day.

  General Feng was standing on top of the wall, feeling utterly exhausted. He had been fighting for the past week by betting his life on the line continuously. By now, he was silently wondering just how much longer would it take for them to force the joint army back.

  They were not in good state anymore after toiling for a week in such high intensity battle.

  "General Feng, the new batch of arrows had arrived."

  "Distribute them."

  "Yes, General!"

  General Feng silently made a mental note. He knew that the supplies continued to come, which allowed them to survive this long.
