Chapter 695 The Last Battle

Zhou Chang immediately noticed the armor on the skinny monkey, and even a knife hanging on his waist: "Why are you wearing armor? Where did you get it?"

"Your Highness, I will go with you." The skinny monkey grinned, poured warm water into a copper basin, dipped a wet towel in it and handed it to Zhou Chang, "Your Highness, are you not going to wear armor? Just wear this casual clothes?"

Zhou Chang was wearing casual clothes yesterday and had hardly slept all night. Now he only planned to change into an outer robe.

Whether you are going to fight or redeem someone, your clothes are not important, it is best to keep a low profile.

He took the towel and roughly wiped his face twice without answering. Instead, he rejected the thin monkey: "What are you going to do? You don't know martial arts. Besides, you have to stay and take care of Mr. Zhong. You don't have to go."

"Your Highness doesn't know martial arts either. If you can go, I can definitely go too." The thin monkey's eyes fell on the silver helmet and armor hanging on the hanger in the tent. "Your Highness should wear armor for protection. This set of armor was found by Brother Gao from the wounded. As for Mr. Zhong, Aunt Jing and Mei Sheng are taking care of him. Your Highness doesn't have to worry."

Zhou Chang still didn't plan to bring Skinny Monkey with him. This time it was too dangerous: "You don't know martial arts, so it's useless to bring a knife. It's better not to go. What if... you stay, they still need you to take care of them."

At the end, all that was left was to take a deep breath.

At the gap at the door of the tent, Chen Yuan and his men were already waiting outside, ready to set off.

"Your Majesty doesn't know martial arts, and he doesn't even wear armor or weapons. I'm worried, so I have to follow you." The skinny monkey didn't allow any questioning, and even turned around to block the door, "If your Majesty doesn't want you to follow him, then you shouldn't go either."

Zhou Chang was helpless: "Although the armor is good, it is too heavy. It is cumbersome to wear and inconvenient to move. Besides, who said I don't have a weapon? I have asked them to prepare bows and crossbows. At least they can shoot and kill one or two enemies."

"In that case, I won't wear this anymore." The skinny monkey said as he was about to take off his armor, imitating Zhou Chang's tone, "I can also go into battle lightly. With this body, I can crush one or two enemies to death."

Although Shouhou is a foodie on weekdays, he always does what he says when he is serious.

Zhou Chang already knew his personality, and quickly raised his head to stop him: "Don't...you should still wear it."

"Your Highness, have you agreed?" The thin monkey grinned, revealing eight big white teeth. "Your Highness, please take me with you. I can drive the carriage for you. The carriage I drive is fast and stable, no one can compare to it."

It is true that a skinny monkey driving a horse-drawn carriage is fast, but as for how stable it is... that depends on one's opinion.

In this situation, even if you don't agree, you can't keep an eye on the skinny monkey.

If the skinny monkey follows secretly, it might be even more dangerous.

At this time, having more close people around you can really comfort you no matter how dangerous the situation is.

After receiving the promise, the skinny monkey stopped asking Zhou Chang to wear armor and picked up a light blue robe and asked the servant to put it on: "Your Majesty is weak, so you don't wear armor to save energy. I am strong, so armor doesn't matter, but Your Majesty, is it really useful to carry a crossbow instead of a sword?"

Zhou Chang had thought about this issue seriously and even discussed it with Gao Yuan, so he said: "This may be the best choice."

For someone like Prince Yi who has no martial arts skills and can't even ride a horse well, the bow and crossbow may be the most useful choice.

Of course, the premise is that you can't engage in close combat.

However, as the ninth prince of Lin State, Prince Yi must take part in the final battle with Mirage State.

At this time, Chen Yuan reminded quietly outside the tent: "Your Majesty, the three armies are ready to go, waiting for your order to set off."

"Okay, let's go." Zhou Chang took a deep breath and walked out of the tent.

"Your Highness..." The skinny monkey was about to let him follow, but then he remembered something more important. "Bows and crossbows may be useful, but don't we have something more useful?"

Zhou Chang paused: "Anything else?"

The skinny monkey grinned: "Gold... Who in the world can refuse gold that is thrown at them?"

"Gold? That's an idea..." Zhou Chang had thought about it before.

But this time she would go to the battlefield personally, which was completely different from the past. It would be a close combat and victory would be achieved by force, so she didn't think gold would be of any use.

"Your Highness, why are you still hesitating? It's better to bring it than not to bring it. It's just like bringing more pancakes when you go out. It's always a good idea." The skinny monkey's brain circuit has always been only about food.

Zhou Chang also nodded: "Then take two boxes. As the saying goes, money makes the devil work. If you have more money, maybe you can really make the devil work..."

Speaking of this, I can't help but think of Yuan Qi again.

"Yuan Qi, wait, I'll be there later." Zhou Chang finally muttered to himself.

Afterwards, Zhou Chang took the skinny monkey and three large boxes of gold bricks, boarded a chariot, and led the Lin State army onto the battlefield.

The border between Lin State and Shen State is separated only by a mountain range - the Wushan Mountains.

The Wushan Mountains stretch for hundreds of miles. Whether it is Fengming Mountain, Laoshu Peak or Ma'an Valley, they all belong to the Wushan range.

Of course, the entire Wushan Mountain Range must be considered as Lin Guo’s land, but there are two completely different worlds just between the mountains.

To the southwest of the mountains, the land is fertile and the resources are abundant.

To the northeast of the mountain range, half is desert and the other half is sea, with scarce resources. People have to rely on seafood and pirates, or on crossing mountains and rivers to invade.

The Wushan Mountains can be said to be a natural barrier on the land of Lin State, except for the Ma'an Valley, which is occupied by the Mirage Army all year round and serves as a corridor for travel.

During this period, Zhou Chang and his generals worked out a plan to use this final battle to force the Mirage Army into the Ma'an Valley, and then take advantage of the wind direction to set fire to the Ma'an Valley, thus cutting off the communication route between the Mirage Kingdom and the neighboring countries.

This battle is the final one.

What I didn’t expect was that before the war, Yuan Qi would be kidnapped.

Therefore, today's battle is not only to drive the Mirage Army out of the bordering country, but also to be quick, the faster the better, and to end the battle as quickly as possible.

Because of this, as Prince Yi, he must take the lead in the charge.

The Lin State's army first divided into several groups and surrounded the Mirage Army camp before dawn. They launched a surprise attack on one group and dispersed to provide support. Once the Mirage Army was in chaos, they surrounded it on three sides and drove the main force of the Mirage Army towards Ma'an Valley.

Everything went smoothly at the beginning and the Mirage Army camp was breached.

But the Mirage Army soon reorganized and joined the battle.

Zhou Chang personally struck the war drum, jumped onto the chariot, and with Skinny Monkey driving, he led the charge towards the main force of the Mirage Army.

The current Mirage Army's head coach is also named Nishino.

Previously, Gao Yuan had killed a main general, whom he mistakenly thought was the main general of the Mirage Army, but in fact he was the younger brother of the current commander-in-chief.

The two men were from the same family and had the same way of fighting. They were good at using formations, and were skilled in changing the real and fake, making them difficult to predict.

Of course, this information was gradually learned later.

As for the attack on Xi Ye, the strategy that Zhou Chang discussed with the other generals was extremely simple: regardless of the strength of the enemy, they would force their way forward.
