Chapter 452: The Great War Begins
……
Qi Yi walked and walked, although the heavy snow has become smaller, but because of the previous heavy snow, the road can no longer be walked.
Qi Yi and they could only clear the passage while marching slowly, which was too inefficient.
Because in addition to clearing the road in front of them, they also have to bury the road trail behind.
Otherwise, the army of the Bolgar Khanate will see their traces, and the only thing that awaits them is death.
Qi Yi asked his army to stop, his gaze was very cold, and he coldly glanced at the herdsmen of the Baogar Khanting and the relatives of the Khan.
At this time, Qi Yi even had an urge to kill all these people and then lead the army back with the heads and supplies.
But after thinking about it, he still didn't do it.
Qi Yi was not afraid of his reputation as a prisoner, he was not afraid of these things at all, and even the Huaxia Empire would not condemn him too much.
At most, the officials of the Chinese Empire verbally condemned him, fined him three glasses of wine, and did not make an example.
What Qi Yi was thinking in his heart just now was that if he killed this group of people, then the merits he had obtained and the adventures he had taken before would not be worth it.
Qi Yi naturally calculated that it was not worth it, if he killed this group of people, then Qi Yi's previous efforts would not be worth it.
Among the feats of the Chinese Empire, the merit of capturing a captive alive was very different from the merit of killing a captive.
Because of this, Qi Yi finally had no choice but to leave this group of people, and only the living population could maximize his own operation.
But Qi Yi left this group of people, not just let this group of people enjoy their own army to open the way and then walk slowly.
Qi Yi asked the soldiers to release a thousand people, and he let these thousand people open the way in front.
Then Qi Yi released another thousand people, and he asked the other thousand people to cover up behind him.
Qi Yi is not afraid of what tricks these people will play in front of him, if anyone dares to play tricks, then kill them.
Although he can't kill people on a large scale, Qi Yi can still accept killing a few disobedient people.
In a short period of time, Qi Yi killed about thirty or forty people who wanted to escape and those who wanted to resist.
The blood of this group of people directly stained the snow-white earth, and their corpses were carried by Qi Yi's people, and when they encountered wild wolves, they threw these corpses out to feed the wolves.
The soldiers under Qi Yi's command looked at Qi Yi with a strange look, and they found that Qi Yi today was very different from Qi Yi before.
Today's Qi Yi can be called a commander, not a weak person like before.
They all nodded secretly, they had fully recognized this young general, this young general who had almost changed his face.
They had more or less read the books of the Chinese Empire, and they thought that sentence was the most suitable way to describe the young general.
"Three days, be impressed!"
Today's Qi Yi has impressed them.
Qi Yi naturally didn't know what his soldiers were thinking, he just wanted to quickly return to his own military camp to maximize his benefits.
When he returned to the barracks and told Qi En about this, and then told Bao Gar Khan, who was constantly attacking his side, hehe, Qi Yi was curious about what Bao Gar Khan would do.
Will Bolgar Khan stop his attack, or will he continue to attack regardless of it?
Qi Yi is really curious, after all, this new khan of the Bolgar Khanate is a hero in Qi Yi's eyes, a hero who kills the lord.
In the distant Luzhou, the general of Zhengdong, Meng Shixin, looked at the soldiers under his command, and the soldiers under his command all advocated going out of the city to fight the army of the Cuman Khanate.
They couldn't stand it anymore and cowered in a fortress.
Most of the Eastern Army were cavalry, and although they also knew how to defend, they still liked to ride horses and gallop the most.
And the original intention of Gao Yang Yajun, the Holy Son of Heaven of the Chinese Empire, to establish the Eastern Army was also to hope that the Eastern Army could be the sharpest spear of the Chinese Empire.
It is hoped that the Eastern Army will be able to pierce the enemy like a spear.
No matter what others think, the soldiers of the Eastern Army have subtly regarded themselves as a spear of the Chinese Empire.
Because of this, they felt aggrieved, and what they hoped was to go out of the city and defeat the enemy army.
Dream Lion Heart was silent, he didn't know how to respond to the requests of his soldiers, although the court didn't explicitly ask him not to take the initiative.
But Dream Lionheart is not a fool, how could he not understand the thoughts in the hearts of the court officials, he naturally knows that the court officials want to end the war as soon as possible.
At this point, Meng Lionheart also hopes to end the war as soon as possible, and what is the fastest way to end the war, which is to break through the enemy army with lightning speed.
However, the imperial court did not want them to go out to meet the enemy army, but hoped that they would be able to defend themselves in the fortress.
This made Meng Shixin's heart a little awkward, and he wanted to end the war as soon as possible, and he wanted them to defend the city, how could this be possible!
Dream Lionheart thought that the best way was to go out quickly and defeat the enemy army in a big way.
Just when Dream Lion Heart was struggling with the trade-offs, a piece of news came.
It turned out to be a message from the Rouran general Qi En, who hoped that Meng Lionheart would lead his Eastern Army out of the city to attack the enemy's army.
The reason why Qi En did this was that he was afraid that his child Qi Yi would do something if he encountered any accidents in the Bolgar Khanting.
Therefore, he could only passively choose to go out of the city to meet the army of the Bolgar Khanate, so that the army of the Bolgar Khanate could not come back.
Only in this way can we create a better opportunity for Qi Yi, so that Qi Yi can come back safely.
But Qi En is also a chicken thief, he did not take the initiative to attack, but instead repaired a letter asking the Eastern Army to attack with him.
The reason why Qi En did this was because he knew the character of the general of Zhengdong very well, and he knew the character of the soldiers under Mengshixin even better.
Cavalry, cavalry should naturally fight in the field, not cowering in the fortress to be passively beaten and passively resist the enemy.
The soldiers under Qi En's command are cavalry, and Qi En naturally understands what the real needs of Dream Lionheart, who is also a cavalry general.
What's more important is that Qi En needs someone to share the risk, if Qi En takes the initiative himself, then the officials of the Chinese Imperial Court must have something to say.
But if the two cavalry commanders, Qi En and Dream Lionheart, took the initiative to attack, then no matter how unwilling the officials in the court were, they could only hold back and say a few words in private.
Dream Lionheart was also very puzzled when he saw Qi En's letter, knowing that Qi En has gradually changed from an aggressive commander to a defensive commander in recent years.
Now Qi En actually took the initiative to choose to fight with him, Meng Lion Heart really didn't understand, but Meng Lion Heart still chose to send troops.
Mengshi thought very simply, anyway, the soldiers under his command have always advocated sending troops, and now that Qi En is sharing the public opinion of the court, he naturally does not hesitate.
A great war is about to begin, and the war of the Chinese Empire against the Bolgar Khanate and the Cuman Khanate is about to begin.
