Chapter 98 Who is firing the cannon? (First order required)
Yang Chang looked carefully and found that it was his personal soldier Cheng Wang.

"Speak slowly, the sky won't fall, but you kid, aren't you going with us to the battle?"

"Hu Yanzhuo's linked horses were too powerful. All the Liangshan troops were unable to resist them. They were killed and scattered in an instant, and many leaders were injured."

Before King Cheng could finish his words, Yang Chang slammed the table and stood up, asking in a stern voice, "Where is Sanniang?"

"Leader Hu is fine. She asked me to come back and report my safety while she stayed behind to clean up the team. Many of our brothers in the village were killed or injured."

"Where is she?"

"With Chief Li's help, they should have reached Yazui Beach."

"Walk."

How could Yang Chang sit still? He immediately stood up and ran down the mountain, and unexpectedly ran into Chao Gai on the way.

Yang was clear about the plot. Several armies of the imperial court were unable to take down Liangshan, let alone Hu Yanzhuo's mere 8,000 soldiers. Yang Chang originally wanted to comfort King Chao, but unexpectedly Chao Gai started acting in front of him.

"Don't worry, brother. We have a lake to block our way. The government troops can't attack us."

"I'm not worried, but I feel sad because so many of my brothers have been killed."

"Uh"

With this kind of expression management, how can it be uncomfortable at all?
Maybe when he sees Song Jiang later, he won't be able to help but gloat over his misfortune?

While the two were talking, Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng arrived. Yang Chang hurriedly greeted them, and then they went down the same road together.

Later they arrived at Yazui Beach, where troops from various groups were scattered in a panic, and the leaders were counting the number of people.

Hu Sanniang was tall and dressed in bright clothes. She was discovered by Yang Chang at the first moment, so he left the three giants and rushed over.

Compared to the embarrassment of others, Hu Sanniang managed to escape unscathed.

"Madam, are you okay?"

"Sir, you came so quickly? Hu Yanzhuo's linked cavalry is unstoppable, and he has powerful bows and crossbows. All the camps have suffered heavy damage. Fortunately, I brought fewer people with me, so I had an advantage when I evacuated, but there were also casualties."

"That's how war works. Casualties are inevitable. Don't blame yourself, ma'am."

"I won't."

Hu Sanniang felt warmed by what she heard, and said to Yang Chang with a smile: "Sir, please take a rest on the side. When I finish the inventory and preparation, I will take them back to the village with you."

"Let me go."

"Ah? Sir, you..."

"rest assured!"

Yang Chang had no experience in leading troops, and it was Hu Sanniang who had trained and organized the troops before. Seeing the man walking forward with full confidence, Hu Sanniang secretly worried for him.

It might be okay to do it in the back mountain, but now the soldiers have just suffered a defeat and some of the minions are still injured. The morale of everyone is low at this time, and she herself cannot guarantee that she can control it.

Watching Yang Chang walk to the front of the team and command the minions with just a few words, Hu Sanniang did not blink and could hear her own heart pounding.

What is this? Incredible!

Yang Chang wanted to try [One against Ten Thousand], and found that this attribute was indeed very powerful. The minions that were standing lazily before immediately became well-behaved when they saw him, and even the injured ones gritted their teeth and stood straight.

Hu Sanniang licked her lips, pulled the man aside, and asked in a low voice: "How did you do it?"

“First this, then that”

"what?"

Yang Chang smiled leisurely and said, "I was just joking with you. I didn't do anything. Maybe it's because your husband is kind. Madam, please take them back to the camp."

"Huh? Sir, you're not coming back?" Hu Sanniang asked in surprise.

Yang Chang turned sideways to look at where Chao Gai was, but unexpectedly found that Gongsun Sheng was looking at him.

hiss.
Is he looking at me? Does he check the attributes too?
No, remember he doesn't have the [Eye of Insight].

After a brief struggle between himself and others, Yang Chang responded to Hu Sanniang and said, "There are so many leaders at Yazui Beach, we must go and say hello before leaving."

"That's right, sir, please go and come back soon." "Got it."

After Yang Chang finished speaking, he strode towards Gongsun Sheng, and when he arrived, he found Song Jiang sitting outside the gate.

His hair was disheveled, his eyes were full of sorrow, his body was covered in dust, and he looked as disheveled as a beggar. Wu Yong squatted beside him and whispered comfort to him.

"Don't worry, brother. As the saying goes, victory and defeat are common in the military."

"Um"

Song Jiang spoke through his nose without opening his mouth, and it was obvious that he was still unable to reconcile with himself.

Just moments after Yang Chang arrived, Chao Gai gave instructions for the navy to defend and then came to Song Jiang to comfort him (to gloat over his misfortune).

"Don't be alarmed, my dear brother. You are safe now. No matter how powerful Hu Yanzhuo's linked horses are, they can't wade across the river to fight. I have already ordered the Ruan brothers to strengthen their vigilance. It is better for us to return to the top of the mountain to rest and recuperate, and then discuss a strategy to defeat the enemy."

Song Jiang found this irritating and was unwilling to return to the mountain to be humiliated. He immediately bowed and said, "Brother, I appreciate your kindness. You take the injured brothers back to the mountain to heal first. I will stay at the foot of the mountain to help defend."

"Why bother, my dear brother? We have navy."

"Brother, go back to the mountain to take charge of the situation first. I will stay here to accompany Brother Gongming."

Chao Gai was already extremely satisfied, and when he saw Wu Yong coming out to help, he called on the rest of the people to go up the mountain to rest.

Later, Yang Chang returned to the back mountain and remembered the report from his personal soldier Cheng Wang, who said that Hu Sanniang and Hu Yanzhuo had fought for ten rounds. He immediately found Hu Sanniang to inquire about Hu Yanzhuo's martial arts.

He had once sparred with Lin Chong and realized the gap between himself and Lin Chong, so he wanted to know whether Hu Yanzhuo, who was also one of the Five Tigers, was also very capable.

After listening to this, Hu Sanniang thought about it carefully, pinched her chin and frowned, muttering: "I don't know if it's my illusion, I feel that he is not as powerful as the legend says, I just lack strength. If I had taken the [Strength Rice] given by the master that day, I even think I could have defeated this man. Sun Tixia fought with him for thirty rounds and there was no clear winner."

"Sun Tixia is already strong," Yang Chang nodded thoughtfully, then smiled and praised Hu Sanniang, "Madam is also a heroine, you should use the [Strength Meter] when you need it, and don't feel reluctant to give it up."

"Since it is a life-saving item, it should be used at a critical moment. I want to leave it to you, sir." Hu Sanniang was still reluctant to part with it.

Yang Chang was anxious when he heard this, so he interrupted and reminded her: "Don't do that, do you think your husband is short of strength? I will never take back what I give to my wife."

"OK then"

Hu Sanniang pursed her lips and felt as if she had eaten candy.

When Yang Chang saw the shy look on the woman's face, he wondered if he wanted to see his wife's attributes.
Although the 'side effects' of [Eye of Insight] are terrifying, depending on how powerful the object of the spying is, when he first checked Zhu Tong's attributes, his body was only slightly tired.

Yang Chang felt it was very necessary to understand the situation of his own woman.

The mind is then understood and the mantra is chanted silently.

He has a deep understanding of the creation of yin and yang, and is familiar with the mechanisms of ghosts and gods.

In a flash, a panel appeared in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Name: Hu Sanniang
Cultivation: Mortal

Possessing attributes: Jiaoyan (agile as a swallow, improves agility)

Skills: Horsemanship, Spear and Stick, Boxing and Kicks, Swordsmanship

Possessing special skills: Butterfly Dance (various changes, both offensive and defensive, double-blade damage bonus), Snake Dance (lasso around waist, invisible to grab people, whip rope hit bonus)
After spying on Hu Sanniang's attributes, Yang Chang's face was immediately filled with fatigue. The side effects of [Eye of Insight] were not discounted, and the feeling of weakness was even stronger than Zhu Tong's. He wondered if this was a skill that shortened his lifespan? He must be careful when using it next time.

"Officer, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine"

Although Yang Chang felt weak, he managed a smile.

She has one more unique skill than Zhu Tong. Her skills with spear, stick, fists and feet are not of high level, which shows that she is indeed not a strength type. However, her riding skills are unexpectedly at the master level, which is worthy of her years of persistence in practicing riding.

"How can you be okay? You look so pale, you must not be fully recovered yet, lie down quickly."

How could Hu Sanniang believe it? She pressed Yang Chang down on the couch without giving any explanation. In the following days, when Chao Gai gathered his generals to discuss countermeasures, she also declined the meeting on the grounds that Yang Chang was unwell. She took off her armor and put on casual clothes, and continued to serve him as before.

Ten days later, Yang Chang was taking a nap in the camp when suddenly there was a thunder outside the tent, which startled him and made him sit up from the couch.

"Who's firing the cannon?"
