Within six days, the cavalry guards galloped 2,200 miles, and finally arrived at the battlefield at the last moment. If it is one step late, the Wujiang defense line will be completely broken, and without the natural danger of the Wujiang River, the Great Qianchao will have no decent defense line, and all that remains is the stage for the rebels to rage.

Since leaving the capital, Li Guanqi, who has been free from the constraints of Qin Min and other ministers, is like a wild horse that has escaped. He did not sit in the emperor's chariot to enjoy the blessings, but followed the Xiao cavalry guard all the way to the front. Of course, not all the 5,000 Xiao cavalry guards arrived, and the first to come to the Wujiang River was only a battalion, only 1,000 people, and Li Guanqi was impressively in the ranks.

It was getting late, and the moon began to shine on the earth instead of the sun......

On the hillside, Li Guanqi sat on a horse, looking at the riverbank, and the evening breeze brought a burst of blood. Shortly after the end of the battle, the rebels were cleaning up the battlefield. As far as the eye can see, the number of rebels in Jiangdong is no less than 5,000.

"Pass the order down and prepare to attack!" Li Guanqi commanded in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty. Don't attack rashly. A middle-aged general on the left behind Li Guanqi spoke, he was the commander of this vanguard team, Hou Jian.

"Why?" Li Guanqi shouted angrily.

Hou Jian hurriedly said: "A thousand miles of rushing will lead to the general, our army has been running for six consecutive days, running for five hours a day, galloping for more than 2,000 miles, and now the people are sleepy and lacking, and the combat power has been greatly reduced." And the number of enemy troops is significantly several times greater than ours. At this time, there is no chance of victory. ”

Li Guanqi waved his hand and said, "We are tired, but the enemy army is even more tired." They had just been exhausted from a day's fighting, and they had never expected us to arrive in time, and their presence at this time would have torn their hearts and souls. Again. We are cavalry, the opponent is infantry, and under a surprise attack, the odds of victory are extremely high. If you wait for reinforcements, the other side will have more reinforcements than us, and once the other side has built fortifications. The role of our cavalry will be greatly reduced. So, I think I should attack immediately! ”

"The last general will not dare to give the edict." Hou Jian said with a stiff neck. Not long after coming out of the Beijing Division, when Li Guanqi arrogantly asked to follow this vanguard to act together, Hou Jian received a strict order from the commander of the Xiaocai Guard: do not seek to kill the enemy, and take the safety of the saint as the first priority! In this situation, it is naturally impossible for Hou Jian to order the troops to charge.

"Then you don't have to give an edict." Li Guanqi's face sank and said, "Xie Chen! ”

"The last general!" Xie Chen, who was in the back, was in good spirits, and led the horse forward to answer loudly.

Li Guanqi glanced at Xie Chen, who was full of excitement, and nodded: "From now on." This Rider is under your command! ”

Xie Chen glanced at Hou Jian, who was also full of surprise, and clenched his fists hard and said, "Obey!" ”

"Good!" Li Guanqi threw an approving look at Xie Chen, and said loudly: "Pass the order, prepare to attack!" ”

"Yes!" Xie Chen hugged his fist again. Then he took the horse's head and shouted, "Herald!" Array! Get ready to charge! ”

"Array! Get ready to charge! ......" The leaders of each song and each team conveyed the military order backwards in turn!

Xiao Cavalry Guard has been known for its strict military discipline and well-trained training since the time of Feng Yuhua, and after completely becoming Li Guanqi's personal guard, the requirements in all aspects have come closer. A thousand people. That is, it took less than five minutes to complete the army. The column formed a wedge-shaped formation for the special purpose of charging.

Li Guanqi turned his horse's head, his eyes swept over the faces of each of the horsemen, and said in a deep voice: "Soldiers!

The ministers of the court, out of concern for my safety, advised me not to go to the front in person; But I think only tyrants and emperors who don't care about their own people are afraid of it! Therefore, I am standing here with you at this moment. Not for amusement or amusement, but determined to live and die with you; For the sake of the great cadres, for the sake of the people, dedicate my blood, and even my life.

Right now. Just across from us, the traitor Chen Guangxi has assembled a large army. But his soldiers did not fight for their homeland.

Although they outnumber us, I want to say to you that you have an innate power that comes from your heart.

None of us may live to see the sunrise tomorrow, but I will always be with you.

Soldiers, remember! The highest honor a man can achieve is to live for daring to act, and to die for the protection of his family and country. I want to tell you a truth on the battlefield since the beginning of the world: if you defeat fear, you will overcome death.

I swear to you that one day, when your sons and grandsons will look into your eyes and ask how brave we fought by the Wujiang River, you can proudly answer them: 'On this day I am fighting for the unity and glory of the Great Qian.' ’

Right now! The whole army obeys the order!

Come on! ”

"Woo woo woo ......" Xiao Cavalry Guard's rhino horn sounded, low and long, like a cold wind from the north, making people shudder.

With a "choking", Li Guanqi pulled out his sword, clamped his legs, and the war horse under his crotch began to walk forward, and the nameless and Xie Chen beside him immediately urged the war horse to follow, and then the entire camp moved.

The black-clad and black-armored horsemen pushed forward like a torrent of steel, faster and faster, and the earth began to tremble.

Although the rebels on the riverside had already discovered this Xiao cavalry guard, they did not pay enough attention to it, because they also had the same idea as Hou Jian, these thousand people came after thousands of miles, and what they wanted to do was to recuperate, rather than immediately charge and fight.

But if you don't pay attention to it, you still have to do the measures that should be done, after Li Guanqi and them entered the range of the bow and arrow, the rebels' bows and arrows immediately shot at them like hail, and in the night, it was impossible to see how many arrows were shot at all, and only the sound of "buzzing" came from the air.

The guards wore hard cowhide armor, but many of them still fell off their horses with arrows, and the wails were mixed with the shouts, which sounded so harsh.

Li Guanqi rushed to the front, his palms were covered with sweat, but he didn't know if he was lucky enough or because he was rushing too fast, not a single arrow fell on him.

Although the rain of arrows of the rebels caused the cavalry guards to lose many soldiers, in the face of the cavalry's rapid charge, it was difficult for the best archers to shoot the third arrow.

The enemy was already in front of him, Li Guanqi clenched his hand clenching the sword, used all his strength, and shouted, "Kill!" ”

"Kill!" All the riders responded in unison. (To be continued......)
