Chapter Forty-Nine: The Incredible Great War

The school field of the forward battalion barracks in front of me is not as large as that of the Kunshan barracks, and it can only accommodate 5,000 people, but it is enough to compete with the Xiaocai battalion and the forward battalion.

When the princes and nobles here, the daughters and the princesses arrived at the school, the eighth prince Ji Qian was already preparing to lead a forward battalion of 1,200 people to stand at the east end of the schoolyard, quietly watching the Xiaocai battalion led by Bai Xiangcheng, and was quietly waiting for Ji Qingchen.

Seeing the Eighth Emperor Ji Qian's red armor like blood and the two-handed giant sword about five feet long in his hand, Ji Qingchen knew that Ji Qian was going to play in person, but for this competition with the forward battalion, he was just to test how much combat power the Xiao cavalry battalion could have when facing an enemy several times stronger than them. Therefore, Ji Qingchen ignored Ji Qian, who was about to participate in the battle in person, but rode up to Bai Xiangcheng, said a few words to Bai Xiangcheng, handed over the command to Bai Xiangcheng, and rode back to the viewing platform.

Ji Qian, the murderous eighth prince in the forward camp, saw that Ji Qingchen had run to the stands and was not ready to fight, and his face turned blue with anger. Because the two are also princes, but now Ji Qingchen is sitting in the stands, and he has to personally lead the forward battalion to fight with the Xiaocai battalion, no matter what the result of the battle is, compared with the two, his actions seem a little ridiculous, to put it bluntly, without Ji Qingchen participating in the Xiaocai battalion, he also needs to personally lead the forward battalion to fight, it seems that he is a little too cheap, so he can only use ferocious viciousness to look at Ji Qingchen.

On the viewing platform of the ladies in the distance, Xiaobi asked Wei Ran in a low voice, "Miss, why didn't His Royal Highness the Ninth participate in the war this time?" The slave maid just thought he was so imposing on the polo field. โ€

"What do you know about a maid, dare to talk nonsense, carefully cut your tongue and feed it to the dog, does a good polo game necessarily mean that he is good at martial arts?" Suddenly, a princess reprimanded. She was only about thirteen years old, but her eyes were staring at Ji Qingchen in the other stand, with a proud face. She is the queen born, the sister of the eighth prince Ji Qian, and Ji Qing, who was named the princess of Qing'an by Emperor Yan.

was reprimanded by Princess Qing'an, Xiaobi could only be so frightened that she didn't dare to pant loudly, and kept her mouth shut.

But as soon as Princess Qing'an finished saying this, someone retorted, "Cousin, you can't say that, but I heard that His Royal Highness Jiu returned to China this time to avoid the pursuit of the Beirong cavalry and survive from the hands of the Eastern Wilderness Iron Sword." โ€

The person who spoke was none other than Cui Yingying, who admired Ji Qingchen a little like Wei Ran in polo just now. She is the daughter of Cui Jingsheng, the secretary of the Qingzhou Cui Family, and the niece of the current queen, and she is a cousin with Princess Ji Qing of Qing'an, so she dares to refute Princess Qing'an.

"Humph!" Princess Qing'an snorted coldly, and did not refute Cui Yingying, but muttered in a low voice, "I know that you will say that, I have long seen that the way you looked at her just now was wrong." โ€

Princess Qing'an's voice was not loud, but Cui Yingying was sitting next to her, and naturally heard what she muttered, but Cui Yingying just blushed slightly and returned to normal, pretending not to hear, and staring at the school field intently. Sitting on the other side of Princess Qing'an was Wei Ran, she also heard Princess Qing'an's muttering, and her eyes involuntarily moved to Ji Qingchen in the distance, I don't know what Lu Dao was thinking in his heart, she was a little stunned.

And Ji Qingchen didn't pay attention to the angry eyes of the eighth prince at all, but moved his gaze to the third prince Ji Hongchang on the side and said, "The third brother followed his father to fight on the battlefield, and after the scene of bloody battles, what do you think of the momentum of the Xiaoqi camp now?" How many people will survive in a battle with Beirong? โ€

He didn't care about victory or defeat, he could only survive a few people, so he let the third prince Ji Hongchang look at him a few times, because since the first time he saw the Xiao cavalry camp, Ji Hongchang knew that the current Xiao cavalry camp was unbearable, the battle would be defeated, and it would be a fiasco, and it might even be wiped out, and Ji Qingchen asked this, obviously self-aware, which shows that Ji Qingchen is not arrogant and arrogant.

"If you fight with the same number of ordinary Beirong cavalry, I'm afraid there is only a chance that 200 people will survive, and if you fight with the same number of Beirong's upper three banners, that is, the three banners of Zhenghuang, inlaid yellow and Zhengbai, the whole army may be wiped out." Ji Hongchang thought about it for a while, and replied after careful consideration.

"What about fighting the Striker Battalion?" Ji Qingchen continued to ask.

"Won't you get the results later?" Ji Hongchang did not answer.

"What if you fight with the third brother's spear battalion?" Ji Qingchen asked with a smile.

"It's still all gone." This time, Ji Hongchang replied without thinking, and his words were full of strong confidence.

"Then the third brother will let the younger brother see your spear riding camp!" Ji Qingchen said very seriously.

"It doesn't make sense for the ninth brother to be willing to use the spear cavalry battalion as a whetstone to train the cavalry battalion as a brother, but the spear cavalry battalion is not as good as the forward battalion and the second brother's flat word battalion, and the fourth brother's trap camp. The third prince, Ji Hongchang, said coldly.

"Please rest assured that the third brother will rest assured about this, and the younger brother will naturally know, because if the Xiao Cavalry Battalion doesn't even have the courage to face the Spear Cavalry Battalion, how can they be expected to fight for Dayan on the battlefield in the future?" Ji Qingchen replied coldly.

The seemingly insipid conversation between the two has begun to clash.

"If the ninth brother can think like this, he won't say anything anymore, if the Xiao cavalry camp has the strength to fight after the second brother's flat battalion and the fourth brother's trap camp, you will go to the gun cavalry camp for the brother, and then the brother will wait for the big driver of the Xiao cavalry camp." Ji Hongchang replied heartily.

"Then thank you third brother for making it happen!" Ji Qingchen hurriedly thanked the third prince Ji Hongchang.

While the two were talking, the competition between the Cavalry Battalion and the Forward Battalion had begun.

The camp began to rumble with war drums and trumpets.

I saw that the Eighth Emperor Ji Qian on the school field gave an order, urged the horse to gallop out, and was the first to rush to the Xiaoqi camp. On the other side, Bai Xiangcheng saw that the forward battalion had begun to attack, and he also gave an order, rode out on horseback, and rushed towards the eighth prince Ji Qian.

This is a competition without suspense, and everyone knows that the defeat of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is reasonable.

But just when everyone was so conjecturing, there was no one-sided situation between the two cavalry teams on the school field. Instead, a small team of ten people in the Xiao cavalry battalion, composed of Bai Xiangcheng, Li Changzheng, Wang Yin, Liu Qingqing, Hou Xiaotian, Yang Zhixing, Zuo Zongquan, Cao Yukun, Zhou Shun, and Lin Ping, served as the arrows of the whole army, rushed all the way, and forced the forward battalion that was preparing to encircle and annihilate the Xiao cavalry battalion into two parts: one left and one right.

This charge, the two sides were evenly divided, and the battle was a draw!

But after a long time, the various weaknesses of the cavalry camp were exposed!

The horses and weapons of the whole army of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion are all horse lances.

The strikers were all five-foot-long two-handed greatswords.

When the two sides charged, the weapons of the cavalry battalion had a great advantage.

However, when they fell into the chaos of the battle, the gentlemen who were already unfamiliar with the horse lance could not deal with the giant sword that was more flexible than the horse lance, and they were smashed off their horses by the wooden giant sword one after another.

And because the physical fitness of the young men in the cavalry camp was too poor, and their physical strength and endurance were weak, they were slashed and killed by the forward battalion that had recovered their strength in a short time, and in an instant, a small number of them lost their combat effectiveness, and they made a judgment.

As the commander of the forward battalion, the eighth prince Ji Qian is even more brave and invincible.

Among the princes of Emperor Yan, except for the third prince Ji Hongchang, he is the most skilled in martial arts. He was humiliated by Ji Qingchen 8-0 on the polo field just now, he held a grudge against Ji Qingchen, and wanted to use this battle to wash away the humiliation of his defeat on the polo field, but Ji Qingchen did not participate in the war, he could only vent the hatred in his heart to the Xiaoqi camp, only to see that the soldiers of the Xiaocai camp where he passed either flew upside down, or were smashed by a huge wooden giant sword and vomited blood, the scene was quite tragic.

This made the noble children who supported him from the sidelines applaud!

It's just that the expressions of the princes are endless, and the second prince Ji is calm and calm, and the ancient well is not wavering.

The third prince Ji Hongchang frowned a little when he saw the eighth prince Ji Qian venting his anger on the Xiao cavalry camp, and shook his head.

The fourth prince, Ji Wen, sighed in a low voice.

And the five princes and the six princes are gloating with a face.

The Seventh Prince's face was worried!

At this time, a moment later, most of the cavalry battalion had lost its combat effectiveness, and the remaining warriors were already exhausted and could not lift the horse lance in their hands, so they all relied on one qi to hold on in their hearts.

According to the situation on the battlefield, at this time when the two sides were fighting, the judgment was made, and the cavalry battalion should have been defeated!

But to everyone's surprise, the cavalry battalion not only did not rout, but fought endlessly.

Especially the ten people led by Bai Xiangcheng, including Li Changzheng and Wang Yin, everyone who watched the battle could see that their physical strength was almost exhausted except for Bai Xiangcheng, and it was already the end of the strong crossbow. But they still stubbornly followed Bai Xiangcheng's side, like a sharp knife, wantonly dividing the forward battalion soldiers who wanted to besiege them.

"Ninth brother is lucky! There are so many people around him, even if he loses this time, he is still honored. Seeing this, the third prince Ji Hongchang suddenly said.

"Yes! I really didn't expect it! The second prince, Ji Ping, also sighed and said.

Ji Qingchen next to him didn't reply, just quietly watched every move on the school field. Because seeing this, he has clearly seen the real combat effectiveness and weaknesses of the Xiaocai Battalion and the Forward Battalion in the first battle, and he is already thinking about the gains and losses of this battle and the places for improvement in his heart.

After another moment, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion were getting fewer and fewer!

After arriving at the end of the day, only Li Changzheng, Wang Yin, Liu Qingqing, Hou Xiaotian, Yang Zhixing, Zuo Zongquan, Cao Yukun, Zhou Shun, and Lin Ping led by Bai Xiangcheng were still standing on horseback, but they had been tightly surrounded by the forward battalion.

At this time, the outcome had already been decided, and the third prince Ji Hongchang ordered someone to blow the horn of the army.

This is the end of the battle between the two sides!

"Your Highnessโ€”"

"Your Highness! We didn't do deserters! At the end of the battle, when Ji Qingchen walked down and saw that he had come to the school field, the soldier of the Xiaocai battalion, who was groaning in pain, shouted in a low voice.

"Your Highness, there are only standing dead ghosts in our riding camp, and there are no kneeling dogs!" Facing Li Changzheng, who was already exhausted by Ji Qingchen, he fell off his horse after saying this.

"There are only standing dead ghosts in the Xiao Riding Camp, and there are no kneeling dogs!"

"There are only standing dead ghosts in the Xiao Riding Camp, and there are no kneeling dogs!" The soldier of the cavalry battalion on the school field said in a low voice.

Their voices were full of tragedy and solemnity, as well as an unyielding stubbornness and arrogance, which shrouded the entire school field in condensation.
