The sunset at dusk is low, and the sunset is desolate and sprinkled on the earth. Sang Xiong looked at the shocking battlefield with a pale face, and an indescribable sense of powerlessness rose in his heart. Just when the time and place were favorable, the twelve armies fought with Ji Qingchen's 30,000 iron cavalry, 30,000 ordinary foot soldiers were killed, and 6,000 back soldiers were killed, and the iron cavalry around Ji Qingchen only left 8,000 corpses here.

Such a record has never been encountered in the thirty years that Mulberry Bear has fought on the battlefield!

One encounter, one ambush, the battle lost nearly 40,000 horses, leaving only 8,000 corpses left by the opponent. If this battle report reaches the Lingnan Eight Clans, it is estimated that the deadline for him as a commander should also come to an end!

Mulberry Bear sighed slightly, nothing.

His body was not seriously injured, but Ji Qingchen's arrow was enough to make his heart tremble, and the small things on the flesh and skin, leaving a shadow in his heart are the big problem.

"General, what should we do?" Duan Hu asked.

His face was also a little ugly, he led 20,000 foot soldiers to intercept and kill Ji Qingchen, but he didn't expect Qingfeng to ride away and return, and then kill back to the battlefield. Not to mention that his interception was in vain, he also lost nearly 2,000 men and horses, and he was almost cut off by Mu Zhan's sword. This shame made him full of hatred for Ji Qingchen and Mu Zhan and the Dayan cavalry, and he wanted to continue to lead the army to hunt down Ji Qingchen with today's shame.

Sang Xiong didn't answer Duan Hu's words, he moved his gaze to the generals in front of him, Bai Ren, who had been frightened by Ji Qingchen's iron horse, Duan Hu, who was slightly injured by a knife off his horse, had already died in battle, and only Lan Yu, whose body was parked here. He still didn't speak, just remained silent.

"General, Lan Yu died in battle, he was the first Lingnan general to die after we attacked Dayan, we can't help but avenge this revenge!" Duan Hu continued.

There was already a faint killing intent in his eyes, Lan Yu was his brother-in-law, and now he was killed by Ji Qingchen, and he couldn't help but avenge this revenge.

"Wait!" Sang Xiong talked and said, "It's not difficult to hunt down Ji Qingchen, no matter where he goes, we can detect his location, now what we have to do is to rest, raise our strength, and then fight to the death with Ji Qingchen." ”

Sang Xiong wasn't joking, he did have the idea of fighting Ji Qingchen to the death.

Because as long as today's battle report reaches Lingnan, his position as commander will definitely be lost, in this case, he also wants to fight Ji Qingchen before the order arrives, and wants to wash away the shame engraved on his face by Ji Qingchen in this battle.

Duan Hu understood Sang Xiong's character, and when he saw Sang Xiong say this, he knew that Sang Xiong had the idea of fighting to the death with Ji Qingchen, so he didn't say anything anymore.

All of a sudden, the scene was a little deserted, and the atmosphere was a little condensed.

"Clean up the battlefield and bury our sons!" Mulberry Bear spoke.

"Yes." Duan Hu took the order.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw Xin An riding a horse and hurriedly rushing to Sang Xiong.

"The Great General - the Great General ——!" Before the Xin'an war horse could withstand it, he turned over and got off the war horse and stumbled towards the mulberry bear.

Sang Xiong was taken aback when he saw Xin An's actions. Xin An is a scout captain, what would scare a scout captain like this? Only a large number of enemy troops appeared nearby.

"What's wrong, Xin'an?" Sang Xiong asked nervously, his face turning even paler.

"General, we have developed the war horses left by Ji Qingchen nearby, 30,000 war horses, 30,000 war horses!" Xin An said excitedly, his eyes shining, as if he had found a treasure.

"What—" Mulberry Bear asked, shocked, incredulous, "Say it again, what exactly did you find?" ”

"General, we found 30,000 war horses, left by Ji Qingchen, in a small valley not far from Pingmapo." Xin An said happily.

"Really—" Sang Xiong's eyes flashed, and he asked eagerly, "Are you sure it's Dayan's war horse, there are 30,000 of them?" ”

"Yes, it's Dayan's war horses, 30,000 of them, in the valley of Pingmapo!" Xin An said.

"God help me—God help me—" Sang Xiong laughed, his mood so good that he forgot the pain in his chest.

Because the Yi people lack horses, they don't need to form a large number of cavalry, even if they form a small number of cavalry, it is also very difficult. But all of a sudden, he got 30,000 war horses, and they were Ji Qingchen's war horses. This feats are not small, no less than capturing a state in Dayan! As long as he has this feat, he will lose 40,000 foot soldiers today, and the Eight Clans Alliance will not say anything. Now his handsome position is kept.

Mulberry Bear was pleasantly surprised, and said loudly, "Quick, let's go and see—"

"Yes." Xin An took the order.

He led the Sang Xiong and the generals to a small valley three miles away, and the Sang Xiong was greeted by 30,000 tall and majestic war horses.

The war horses of Beiliao and Beirong are the most powerful, not to mention that these 30,000 war horses are still ridden by Ji Qingchen Qingfeng.

Seeing the 30,000 war horses, Sang Xiong smiled heartily again, "Quick, bring the war horses back, with these 30,000 war horses, it will be more convenient for us to hunt down Ji Qingchen." ”

Xin An took the order and went down to deal with the war horse.

Sang Xiong was happy, looking at the direction where Ji Qingchen had gone and laughing.

He knew very well what Ji Qingchen would be angry without these 30,000 war horses. The armies of Northern Liao and Beirong are both one man and two horses, so they have the reputation of traveling 300 miles a day and being able to fight several battles in a row. Now that the 30,000 war horses prepared are gone, can you Ji Qingchen still be able to run long distances? Can you still escape your encirclement?

Thinking of this, the eyes of the mulberry bear were happily fascinated into a line!

……

This is a mountain forest, the grass and trees are green, the stream is bubbling, and the environment is very beautiful.

But Ji Qingchen had no intention of appreciating such a beautiful scenery, and he looked at Li You who was kneeling in front of him with a gloomy face. Mu Zhan and Ji Xuanyuan, who was seriously injured, were also beside Li You, their heads bowed, not daring to meet his gaze.

"Uncle Wang, it's Li You's fault, please punish Uncle Wang!" Li You said in a firm tone.

"Bang-" Ji Qingchen stepped forward, kicked Li You hard, and said angrily, "Your fault? Now do you know that you are wrong? Do you know how many people we have lost because of your fault? ”

This time, Qingfeng Cavalry lost 8,000 people in the battle with Sang Xiong, from Sang Xiong's point of view, Ji Qingchen was a big victory, but from Ji Qingchen's point of view, 30,000 Qingfeng Cavalry died 8,000 in the battle, this is definitely a tragic victory, no different from defeat. Not to mention the loss of 30,000 war horses at once.

For Ji Qingchen, what is not lacking is war horses, and the loss of 30,000 war horses this time seems to have no impact, but in fact the impact is huge.

Because these 30,000 war horses have a tacit understanding with the Qingfeng cavalry knights, they can increase the combat effectiveness of the knights on the battlefield, and if the war horses are changed again, the knights and the war horses are not familiar with each other, and the combat effectiveness will drop a lot.

The battle of Pingmapo is the best column.

For what reason, Qingfeng rode in a place like Pingmapo, where the terrain was not suitable for cavalry combat, and exerted a strong combat effectiveness? In addition to the strength of the knight itself, which is one of the elite among the crowd, it is because of the heart and mind of the war horse that he can perfectly control the war horse in this hilly terrain.

"I-" Li You was kicked to the ground by Ji Qingchen, he choked suddenly, and he didn't know what to say. Indeed, today's battle was his mistake, if he didn't kill Lan Yu, but formed a reasonable defensive formation with Ji Xuanyuan, and the power to defend Lan Yu and Duan Hu's army, it is estimated that before Lan Yu and Duan Hu's army rushed to the main battlefield, Ji Qingchen had already killed Sang Xiong.

It's just a pity that Li You didn't succeed in killing Lan Yu, and because of this, he gave Duan Hu a chance to take advantage of it, so when Ji Qingchen was about to kill Sang Xiong, his reinforcements rushed into the main battlefield, ensuring Sang Xiong's life, and also saving the end of Sang Xiong's defeat in the first battle.

"Please forgive Uncle Wang, it's all my fault, I caused Brother Li to be involved, otherwise he wouldn't have done this." Seeing Li You being punished, Ji Xuanyuan, who had been suffering with life and death, immediately pleaded.

Although he was seriously injured, after a simple bandage, he did not lie on the bed anymore, but stood in front of Ji Qingchen.

At this time, he pleaded for Li You, he also endured the pain all over his body, knelt in front of Ji Qingchen, and wanted to bear Ji Qingchen's punishment with Li You.

From Ji Qingchen's return to China, to the formation of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, to participating in the battle against Beirong, to leaving the country, to going south, he has never been so angry, and he has never punished his subordinates like today, Li You's first.

This is an unprecedented phenomenon.

Mu Zhan on the side saw that Ji Xuanyuan was pleading for Li You, and he was about to speak, but he was stopped by Ji Qingchen's cold gaze.

"Divide the remaining army into three parts, and the three of you continue to lead, we will have several more vicious battles to fight in the next few days!" Sighing, Ji Qingchen said to Mu Zhan, "Qingfeng Cavalry will be handed over to you as the commander, and the two of them will be your lieutenants." ”

In the past, Qingfeng rode without a main general, but today's battle Ji Qingchen saw their ability from the performance of the three of them, so he decisively handed over the military power to Mu Zhan.

This is also an affirmation and a reward for Mu Zhan's performance in this battle.

"No!" Wood Battles commanded.

"Send a message to the people of the 'Inner Factory', this king has news to reach King's Landing." Ji Qingchen said to the guards beside him. He paid no more attention to the crowd and strode into the tent.

In this battle, Sang Xiong was desperate to deal with his 30,000 iron horses, which was enough to see that Sang Xiong found out from the beginning that he only had 30,000 Qingfeng horses around him instead of 130,000 troops. It can be seen from the arrangement of Sang Xiong's troops that he is completely aimed at himself in this battle, and he wants to kill himself in Pingmapo.

But after leaving the valley, he and the 30,000 Qingfeng riding army were very secretive, and how did Sang Xiong know that there were only 30,000 Qingfeng riding around him. Sang Xiong wanted to kill himself in Pingmapo, how could he be so sure that 100,000 iron horsemen would not come to his rescue? And what made him even more strange was that the secret guards did not detect the 80,000 Lingnan infantry who were ambushed near Pingmapo, which was a bit unreasonable.

All these questions conveyed a message to Ji Qingchen that his secret guard department had a spy and conveyed his every move to Sang Xiong.

His secret guard system is divided into two parts, Guo Quan's "iron suit" is outside the main house, and Zhang Rang's "inner factory" is inside the house.

This time to the south, Zhang Rang's "inner factory" in order to keep an eye on the second prince Ji Ping, put his mind on King's Landing City, and he was accompanied by Guo Quan's "iron suit", so it can be seen that there must be a problem inside the "iron suit", and only Guo Quan's stay in Beirong, and trained the eagle harrier as a scout to reconnoiter the enemy, the eagle harrier was in the high altitude reconnaissance, and did not detect the 80,000 Lingnan infantry who were ambushed in Pingmapo, can this be justified?

Therefore, Ji Qingchen concluded that there must be something wrong with the "iron suit" after suffering such a big loss this time.

Guo Quan's is the leader of the "iron suit", with Ji Qingchen's understanding of Guo Quan, Guo Quan's will not have a problem, but the level of the person in charge of military intelligence like this in the "iron suit" is definitely not low, who is it if it is not Guo Quan? Could it be that the secret guards of the Lingnan Yi clan have infiltrated the "iron cloak"? But then Ji Qingchen denied this idea.

It's just that he thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a reason.

And before he got a definite answer, he didn't want to take the liberty of persuading Guo to talk about it. Therefore, Zhang Rang's "inner factory" can only be secretly investigated.

Moreover, since the "iron coat" has gone wrong, this task of reconnaissance and intelligence cannot be relied on them, and can only be shared by the "inner factory".

Think about what you rely on the most is the dark guard system, and today I went to plant it on the dark guard system.

Thinking of this, Ji Qingchen was furious, fortunately, he had the foresight to set up the "Iron Suit" and at the same time establish the "Inner Factory" to let the two secret guard systems supervise and restrain each other, otherwise if this kind of thing happened today, he would only be in the hands of the "Iron Suit".
