Under Lin Chongfeng's sharp gaze, Aliqi finally lowered his proud head, bowed and prostrated at Lin Chong's feet.

"The king is brave and invincible, and the villain is willing to serve his subordinates, whip and stirrup, and serve the work of dogs and horses."

Although Lin Chong couldn't understand so many Khitan words, seeing Saba nodding happily, how could he not understand what Aliqi meant?

At that moment, Lin Chong bent down to help him up, and said loudly in the Jurchen words he had learned in advance: "Good, good!" From now on, you will follow me as a personal soldier! ”

Saba hurriedly translated Lin Chong's words, and he also felt a little like laughing in his heart.

It turned out that Saba was born in Lingzhou, the Great Song Dynasty, but he spoke Jurchen hometown dialect at home since he was a child, so he knew Jurchen and Chinese since he was a child; After that, he became a small steward in Zengtou City, and often followed Zeng to Liaoguo to do private business, so he could also speak Khitan dialect.

When I interrogated this Aliqi before, I learned that this Aliqi had invited a few Han masters to teach him martial arts since he was a child, and he had been stationed in Danzhou in the land of Yanyun in Nanjing Province for a long time, so Aliqi's Chinese dialect was also very slippery.

Originally, it was most convenient for everyone to communicate in Chinese, but because of the reason for pretending to be the second prince of the Jurchen, they could only communicate in Khitan and Jurchen dialects.

But the military lord is a god and a man, but his language talent is not very good, these few Jurchen words are said by him in a correct tone, not to mention how strange the accent is.

Fortunately, Aliqi has never seen the separation, and the military lord has made some disguise on his face, even if Aliqi hears the strange Jurchen accent of the military master, he probably won't think much about it.

Even if you want to, you probably wouldn't have thought that this "Jurchen cavalry" that defeated them would be the Liangshan Iron Cavalry, which was dominated by the Song people!

However, Aric didn't hear how strange Lin Chong's accent was, but he couldn't help but feel a little happy after hearing Saba's translation.

Although he did not have much dealings with the Jurchens, Aric also knew that the Jurchens generally regarded defeated prisoners of war and plundered as slaves, and their status was extremely low.

As soon as he surrendered, he was directly appointed as the personal soldier of the second prince of Jurchen, and his status was quite high, even though it was humiliating to surrender to the enemy country, but this incident still made Aliqi feel very honored.

This means that you are valued and reused.

At that moment, Aliqi was about to kneel down to express his gratitude, but Lin Chong waved his hand and asked him to return his set of superb equipment, such as a white pear flower gun, a silver fist and a horse, and a magpie painted iron tire bow, and also gave him a kettle of salt sugar water and a bag of Liangshan Army dry food.

After that, he asked him to tell Saba and Amu about the strength of the state in front of him, the terrain, and the situation of the nearby garrison.

Lin Chong didn't understand it anyway, so he sat with Du Yan, Li Tianyan, Hu Yanzhuo, Wang Feiyu and others and ate some dry food to replenish their physical strength, and talked about the next battle plan by the way.

When Lin rushed over, the captain of the pro-soldier captain Wei Chi Bin had already set up a small dry distillation wood stove, poured water in the marching pot, added a little compressed meat to floss in after the water boiled and cooked, then added a little fried rice, cut a few ham sausages into it, and finally poured some milk powder, added a little salt, and a pot of fragrant meat floss milk porridge was ready.

Although the taste is not as good as the mutton noodles made by Zhang Zhenniang herself, when the army is marching and fighting, this kind of food is already good to the sky.

In a certain respect, fighting a war is a logistical battle.

This is also an important reason why Lin Chong dared to launch a surprise attack in depth alone. That is, the logistics support of Lin Chong's expeditionary team is really good to the sky.

When they went ashore, the three thousand and one hundred horsemen were each horse, and in addition to weapons and armor and other equipment, each person was given a pound of compressed meat floss, a pound of cow (sheep) milk powder, a pound of salt-sugar mixture, three taels of tea leaves, and a variety of amounts of fried rice in lard, ham sausage, five-spice sauce meat, etc.

Then there is the concentrate for feeding the horses.

The weight of these dry foods is not high, but it can ensure that each person has more than ten days of food supply, as long as there is water on the road, the 3,100 Liangshan cavalry will not have the trouble of grain and grass, and there is no need to cook on the road, which greatly saves time.

This kind of march, without the drag of logistics, can be fast if you want to be fast, slow if you want to be slow, you can rest if you want to rest, and you can replenish your physical strength at any time.

War horses can also feed them concentrate during the day, and find a place with grass at night for them to graze on their own.

And after going ashore, more and more horses were seized, and now the three thousand Liangshan iron horsemen have already had two horses per person, and some even have three horses per person, so they naturally move more and more like the wind, and they come and go freely.

After eating a big bowl of meat floss milk porridge and drinking a cup of freshly brewed Ming Qian green tea, the taste was not to mention how beautiful, and only the eight thousand tomahawk soldiers around who could only gnaw dry bread were drooling.

These Jurchen barbarians are so well equipped, and the food is even better to the sky!

What I used to eat on the march was pig food compared to them, even beef and mutton jerky was not as good as this kind of milk porridge.

Because it's so hard to chew, you can swallow it for half a day.

Everyone looked at Aliqi with envy and was treated like a pro-soldier at once, these Jurchen cavalrymen really treated him as their own.

Aric was also very excited, and when he took the first bite of this porridge with pork floss, he felt so delicious that he almost cried.

Straight lady thief, this group of Jurchens is really extravagant, they actually prepared such a good marching dry food.

Not to mention anything else, just say that this fragrant and delicious milk porridge tastes even more delicious than the best dishes I have ever eaten at the Hanren Hotel in Danzhou!

And this is only their marching rations, and it is not that only generals have them, but they are distributed to every soldier.

The treatment and food of this army are also too good!

Soon, Aliqi told Saba and Amu the information he knew, and the two came to report to Lin Chong again.

"So, in addition to the 20,000 tribal troops near Jianzhou, the nearest ones are only He Chongbao's 20,000 leather room troops and Xi King Xiao Ximo's 30,000 Xi elite cavalry? Will you be able to arrive early tomorrow morning at the earliest? ”

"Yes, the military master, the information I got from the other POWs was similar, and there should be no mistake. It's just that the 20,000 leather room army garrison of He Chongbao's department is a little closer, and the 30,000 Xi elite cavalry garrison of Xi King Xiao Ximo is a little farther away, so it should arrive about half a day late. ”

Lin Chong didn't feel a little warlike boiling, he glanced at Du Yan, Li Tianyan, Hu Yanzhuo and others around him, and asked with a smile: "First 40,000 people, then 30,000 people, a total of 70,000 people, and we are only in the early 10,000s when we count the troops." To fight or not to fight? ”

Du Yan looked at the glint in Lin Chong's eyes, and couldn't help but smile: "Everything is under my brother's orders!" ”

But Li Tianyan directly stated: "Fight, naturally we have to fight, otherwise what will we do in Jianzhou?" ”

Hu Yanzhuo was originally a conservative and cautious person, but at this time, he had to express his attitude: "Commander, let's fight, 10,000 against 40,000, we have a chance of winning, besides, with so many war horses in hand, we can leave at any time if the situation is not right." ”

"Then fight!"

Lin Chong nodded, he turned his head again and asked Amu: "You have lived in Liao for more than ten years, and you have dealt with the army of Liao State, can you tell me, are these 8,000 prisoners of war available?" ”
