Chapter Ninety-Three: The Duel
Although more than 100 people were killed and wounded, these soldiers under Chen Cheng's command were very excited now. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAfter Yan Agu started fighting, the Jurchens did not lose in a major battle. The Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000, and the invincible 10,000 are not just casual words, but are built on the corpses of countless Liao troops.
Even if these soldiers didn't perform well just now and almost scattered and fled, they were not without bright spots. The fierce counterattack of some brave men killed a lot of golden soldiers. Most importantly, the enemy fled in front of them.
This greatly boosted morale.
The army needs to be watered with victory and blood, and the army that has won the battle can maintain high morale, can endure more brutal training, and can grit its teeth and continue to hold on in the face of heavy casualties. If you can always win battles and have clear rewards and punishments, then you will be a tiger and wolf army.
The soldiers cleaned the battlefield, collected the spoils of war and their own wounded, and the golden soldiers were beheaded, whether they were dead or not. In this day and age, it is still common to kill enemies, cut off heads, and then use them to boast of martial arts, although there are sometimes many disadvantages to doing so.
Ma Wentao came up and shouted triumphantly: "General, I killed a Jin soldier with my own hands just now!" ā
In fact, he just went to check for leaks and cut off the head of a Jurchen who couldn't afford to be seriously injured.....
Chen Cheng didn't say anything, just nodded, and then said in a loud voice: "Everyone is doing a good job, but this place is too close to the army of Jin Bing, even if we are not afraid, it is not cost-effective to confront the enemy's army." We'll immediately form a team, and then we'll go back. Wait until we have tens of thousands of troops, and then come back to compete with the golden soldiers! ā
The soldiers all said yes, regardless of the fact that they were frightened by the Jurchens before. Wuhua didn't know when she appeared by Chen Cheng's side, and he was amazed by this statement. Obviously, they were beaten like dogs, if it wasn't for the success of the main general's final counterattack, they would have to run for their lives again, but now they seem to be really remarkable, and they don't take Jin Bing seriously.
The group took the wounded soldiers, the heads of the golden soldiers, and the countless goods they had collected, together with those they had captured, and withdrew with great vigour. When they returned to the vicinity of Liaoyang, they saw a lot of Khitan soldiers running around. As soon as I caught a question, I heard that Gao Yongchang rebelled in Liaoyang, killed the people left behind in Tokyo, and proclaimed himself the emperor of the Bohai people.
"Bastard!" Many soldiers shouted, "We kill the Jurchens in front, and they stumble us in the back." General, let's go kill Gao Yongchang and take Liaoyang back! ā
"That is, even Jin Bing is not our opponent, how could that guy Gao Yongchang beat us? Give the order, General! ā
Chen Cheng looked at the angry army, and said in his heart: If there is a real fight, maybe you will all run away without a trace. The Northeast is a place that cannot be described as vast and sparsely populated. If you don't see a person for dozens of miles, you can't find a ghost anywhere.
He didn't say much, first led the troops to join the soldiers and horses who had returned before, and a total of more than 10,000 elite soldiers, and then went straight to Liaoyang City.
Gao Yongchang, who had already become the emperor, drove out of the majestic Liaoyang City with a large army, lined up in formation, and then he rode out and shouted in front of the two armies: "Chen Cheng, dare you come out to answer?" ā
What's not to dare to do? Chen Cheng also left the army behind, and walked out on a horse. He was quite heavy, and had used to march in a carriage. This expedition got a lot of horses, so I chose a black war horse as a mount.
"Hey, friend," Chen Cheng spread his hands without a blade, and said, "Your actions are really fast, just after capturing Liaoyang, you will proclaim yourself the emperor of the Bohai people." ā
Gao Yongchang was wearing golden armor, with a hint of pride on his face, and said: "Yes, now Liaoyang City is under my control, as long as you submit to me, I will crown you the King of Han!" ā
"Well, friend, you're driving on this condition very well. But ........."
Chen Cheng stretched out his index finger and said, "In my life, I will never bow my head to anyone." ā
He held out his middle finger again, "....... Never run away in embarrassment in front of any strong enemy. ā
The ring finger also stretched out, "..... There will be no regrets! ā
"And what do you want?" Gao Yongchang was a little embarrassed and said, "Do you want to be the emperor of the Han people?" ā
He shook his head, "There can't be two emperors in one place. Even if there are a lot of Han people in Liaoyang City, if you have to be the emperor of the Han people, then we can only fight each other. ā
Gao Yongchang said sincerely: "I already have an army of 30,000 on my side, plus more than 100,000 disciples of the Divine Sword Hall, believe me, you can't beat me." ā
"What arrogance," Chen Cheng raised his head, the sharp horns on his helmet pointing to the sky, "Now that you are an enemy of the Khitans and Jurchens, do you still want to be my enemy?" ā
"Why am I an enemy of the Jurchens?" Gao Yongchang was stunned and said: "We are all anti-Khitans, we should be sleepwalking." ā
"Wanyan Aguta is a hero in the world, do you think he will really let you occupy such an important place as Liaoyang?" Chen Cheng sneered, "But what you said is right, we are all making the Khitan people's rebellion, we should be sleepwalking." Then give me a quantity of grain and grass, and allow me to recruit soldiers in the city, and I will take the soldiers away. ā
"Are you really willing to leave?" Gao Yongchang said suspiciously: "The Khitan still has millions of troops, and you can't beat the Khitans with such a few people." ā
"Hmph, the Khitans are not easy to deal with, so I have to find a place to settle first."
ā..... You're going to North Korea? ā
"Yes, it is the hometown of Yin Shang, although it is a little remote, but three thousand miles of mountains and rivers are enough to accommodate my more than 10,000 soldiers and horses."
"North Korea is so remote..... Otherwise, you should stay and help me," Gao Yongchang shouted, "I am willing to give you half of Liaoyang." ā
"Hey, friend, I'm grateful for your kindness. However, the strong do not bow down to the weak! ā
"Hmph, do you really think I'm no match for you?" Gao Yongchang sank his face and shouted: "Then we will have a real battle, if you lose, come and be my subordinate!" ā
"You're going to fight me?" Chen Cheng laughed wildly, "Then it depends on who is stronger!" ā
He jumped off the horse and slapped it on the buttocks, allowing it to return to the formation on its own.
"What do you mean by that?" Gao Yongchang said angrily: "I don't ride a horse, I don't bring a sword, do you want to fight me with your bare hands?" ā
"Why not?" Chen Cheng raised his fist and slammed it in front of his chest, making a sound of gold and iron, "These fists of mine are by no means under any divine weapon!" ā
