"King, why is Princess Splendid mixed up in the caravan?" Han Wang asked gossip at the end.

Yelu Dashi's face became strange, and he didn't know if he had a headache or didn't want to think about it, "How did you know about the princess?" Then he hurried away.

Watching the commanders of the two armies talk for a while, fight for a while, and talk about it again, Han Shizhong stepped forward and asked curiously, "Second brother, what does Dashi mean?" ”

"The Khitan no longer has the fighting spirit, so Dashi thinks about how to preserve the continuation of the race, and he tries his best to ensure the success of the western expedition" paused for a while and said, "And we have to face the situation after the Khitan goes west, you know, the Jurchens have never been good people"

Han Shizhong also accepted that the Khitan was not to worry, the Jurchen was a big problem for the Great Song Dynasty after all, so he nodded and said, "After the step is reached, the Jurchen army is pointed out, and all ethnic groups are looking forward to the wind." But if they don't obey, they will all be slaughtered, and the means will be cruel, which is rare in the world. If we go south, the heavens and the earth will fall apart."

Han Wang smiled, "Before it's too late, Dashi gave me two thousand war horses, and I guess he already knows what I think." So give him back the man, and the equipment will also support him partly."

When Han Shizhong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he whispered, "Second brother, two thousand horses?" Then you can train the four-fingered cavalry, this is our killer weapon! ”

Han Wang shook his head, "It's not a killer feature, it's only fifteen hundred, it's not enough." It takes at least 8,000 cavalry to form a cluster, and without a cluster, it will be a loss to fight with the Jurchens. ”

Han Shizhong was taken aback, "Eight thousand cavalry? Is this possible? Liu Shuai has an army of 100,000, and the cavalry is only 4,000" Liu Shuai is Liu Yanqing.

"You go and ask the Jurchens, is there enough for the four thousand cavalry to stuff their teeth?" Han Wang looked up and looked north, "If the big stone goes west, the Khitan will be defeated, we have to speed up."

Han Shizhong's eyes rolled, "Second brother, after these two thousand war horses are in hand, do you want to leave the big stone?" This guy is obviously also a generation of heroes, and it's always a disaster to keep it? "Exchanging strategic materials with Liao in private is treason, and Han Shizhong doesn't want to leave a tail for Han Wang.

Han Wang shook his head, "Keeping him is also to leave some thoughts for the Jurchens, after all, they destroyed the Liao State, so the Jurchens will definitely follow him to find an opportunity" and asked, "How about the casualties?" ”

"Forty-three killed and seventy-nine wounded, of which at least thirty were seriously wounded."

Ma Dan, more than 100 people will be lost in one battle! Is it easy for labor and capital to save some soldiers? Dashi, this bastard, did not hesitate to kill so many people for such a little weaponry? Is his heart made of stone like the name?

Along the way, Han Wang was in an extremely bad mood, Xu Qing rushed over, and learned that Han Shizhong, Wang Gui, Yao Zheng and the Blocker Army had a small fight, and it was a pity that he didn't catch up, and he complained that he ran empty.

Han Wang said coldly, "Now you are not other people's opponents, fortunately we shot more than forty of them, otherwise we would have suffered even more casualties."

Xu Qing said, "General, that's not what you said, the iron-beaten battalion and flowing soldiers, you have always said that you want to train a strong army." Isn't this strong army just a fight? If you don't fight with such a strong army, how can you be called a strong army? ”

Han Shizhong also comforted, "Second brother, Brother Qing is right, I know that you feel sorry for your brothers, but how can there be immortals in war?" Look at it, they have seen blood, is it a few points stronger than before? ”

After hearing this, Han Wang took a closer look at the situation of his subordinates, although these sergeants collected the bodies of the dead soldiers, wrapped them in cloths, and then put them on horses and carried them, the wounded were simply bandaged and carried on stretchers. Some of them were riding horses with minor injuries. Whether it is injured or not, in addition to sadness, there is also a kind of pride between the eyebrows.

Yes, they faced the elite barricade army of the Great Liao State, although this battle was relatively damaged, but after all, they withstood the opponent's attack. He was not frightened by the enemy, nor was he defeated, and he bravely stepped forward to fight the enemy. No matter what the combat effectiveness is, purely in terms of morale and the will to fight, it can already be called a strong army among the millions of forbidden troops in the Song Dynasty.

Han Wang jumped off his horse and joined the sergeants to collect the martyrs' funerals and give these young men one last time to groom. When the last body is buried. Han Wang couldn't help but take off his hat to these corpses and bowed deeply.

There were many young soldiers, looking at Han Wang, tears of emotion were about to flow out.

Han Wang took a deep breath and said gently, "So many good brothers have died heroically, in fact, I don't feel good in my heart, brothers, cry if you want to, don't be ashamed!" ”

"Actually, I've been wondering, why are these brothers fighting this battle? Is it worth their death? I figured it out, they fought to the death to protect their homeland, to protect their parents, brothers and sisters! I think that no one here wants to go to the battlefield to fight for their lives, and we can farm at home, raise cattle and sheep, and even if we go to the city to do some part-time work, we can still support our families. But who will defend our country? Who will defend the millions of ordinary people? ”

"You see, those barricade troops, they are arrogant and boundless, and more than 200 people dare to penetrate dozens of miles into our country. Just because they fell in love with the knives and guns of the steel factory, they sent people to buy them first, and if they couldn't buy them, they would come to rob them! Some people may say that some steel, some knives and guns, if you give it, you can't lose your life. Wrong, very wrong! ”

Han Wang's eyes were red and he said, "Why? Not to mention steel, knives and guns, even if they are grass and trees, they can't take them without our consent. Today, the famous barrage army kicked the steel plate in the Erlong Mountain of the Great Song Dynasty, and this steel plate is you, and the forty-three martyrs lying here! ”

"It is your loyalty and fearlessness that make these robbers sit down and talk to us, they are afraid! That's the way of the world! Your kindness is regarded by them as weakness and bullying, if you can snatch a sheep today, he will dare to kill tomorrow! Starting today, in front of us, none of this will work! No matter who the other party is? No matter how good they are, we are qualified to say no! This qualification is what we paid for with our lives! ”

"Today, you fought very well, although you don't have much experience in battles, but you have withstood the attack of the most elite enemy troops, I am proud of you! Be proud of you! You guys are the best! After Han Wang finished speaking, he bowed deeply to the sergeants and thanked them deeply.

"General Han, mighty! Winning streak, undefeated! Long live our emperor! Great Song Wansheng! The soldiers below spontaneously roared.

I don't know why, Han Wang watched the soldiers put the bodies of their sacrificed comrades on horseback, and silently walked towards the Fengzhuang Martyrs Cemetery. A song is naturally sung.

"Send your comrades-in-arms, embark on the journey, silently and tearfully, the camel bell rings in your ears, the road is long, the fog is vast, and you often break up in your military career, the same and two feelings ......are different"

One soldier sang along, and then two, three, the whole team sang in unison.

The sound shook the sky, and tears poured down. (To be continued.) )
