Chapter 1381: Coming to the Palace Residence (Part 1)
Nearly 400,000 rebels, under the leadership of Jian Zhantian and Meng Qing, marched for a decisive battle.
This is also the first time the resistance has crossed this pass after retreating to the Gaogong line of defense.
Because it is already a decisive battle, there is no point in continuing the previous offensive and defensive battle, so this time, according to Chen Fan's estimation, the decisive battle should take place in the deserted hilly plain tens of thousands of miles west of the Gaogong Mountains!
There is a natural battlefield, and the terrain is flat, which is most suitable for the two armies to start a battle.
The resistance army that has been hiding its powers for so long has now accumulated enough power to fight Gong Xuanyao to the death!
After all, just after Wu Xiu's long drive straight into it, the monk of the Gong family suffered heavy losses, and even the Su family was pulled in to defend together.
Now their army is only 400,000 people at full capacity, which can be said to be on par with the rebel army.
But things don't count that way. You must know that during Chen Fan's time in Jianzhong, the monks of the palace family almost never stopped fighting.
It has already reached a situation where people are tired and tired.
On the other hand, on the side of the rebels, fighting to support the war, the morale is high, the whole army is united, united in one!
From this point alone, the outcome of the decisive battle seems to be self-evident.
But Chen Fan didn't relax at all. His goal was to keep the casualties in this decisive battle to a minimum.
Not only on the rebel side, except for the direct line of the Palace and Su clan, the casualties of the other enemies should also be minimized.
Because of Gong Xuanyao's ambitions, the land of Dongwaizhou has been devastated and must not be suffering more casualties. Therefore, Chen Fan must do his best to ensure the safety of more people.
This is not his wife's benevolence, but in the face of this war that should be avoided, as long as the enemy can finally realize their lives, they should still be saved.
It's just the direct line of the palace family and the Su family, Chen Fan is absolutely impossible to stay.
He can't understand the truth that wildfires can't be blown out, and spring breeze blows and regenerates. For these people full of ambitions, they must be stifled in the cradle!
Chen Fan has seen too many wars, bloodshed, and deaths along the way!
He has long hated such things!
Today, on the march, Chen Fan is also using his own efforts to ensure the safe conduct of this battle.
Therefore, he wants to avoid trouble!
What are the consequences?
Naturally it is the base camp of the palace family.
Now Gong Xuanyao is out on the expedition, and all of the Gong family’s children are dispatched. There are not many defenders left in the family, and they are still some guest officials or guards.
At this time, Chen Fan appeared in the palace family, and it was self-evident what it meant to completely pound his foundation.
At the very least, it can greatly affect the morale of Gong Xuan Yao's side, causing it to plummet, and virtually increasing the victory rate of a lot of resistance.
In addition, Chen Fan still has a certain selfishness.
There has always been a doubt in his heart that has not been lifted.
That's why Gong Xuanyao started this war. After all, it didn't make much sense to Chen Fan.
Originally, Dongwaizhou was already dominated by his family, and there was no guilty of starting a war. Was it just for everyone to surrender?
If this is the case, there is actually no need to do so.
Take Chen Fan as an example. If he were to be replaced by Gong Xuan Yao, he thought that there were at least several ways to control the entire East Outer Continent without blood. In fact, this kind of thing is not difficult.
It just takes a certain amount of time.
So why Gong Xuanyao couldn't even wait for this little time and had to start a war. This was really worthy of scrutiny.
Therefore, when Chen Fan went to the palace mansion this time, it is important to check the situation in this regard!
