Chapter 217: Counterattack

Leaving with Mu Feng and relieving the biggest crisis in the northern grasslands, Ji Qingchen and Huang Taiji, led a battalion of 200 Xiao cavalry to meet Shu'er and Li Changzheng and others.

And after three days and three nights of searching, Ji Qingchen and Shu'er are finally together!

It won't be this time just to meet and they just calm down for a day and then run into trouble.

For, in addition to a troop of ten thousand men that had been following them all the time, they suddenly found that just before them, a cavalry contingent of five thousand men appeared on each of their left and right sides.

When the scout told Ji Qingchen the news, his face was filled with a burst of monstrous war. He knew very well that it was because the appearance of his senior brother Mu Feng disrupted Empress Dowager Xiao's deployment, so that Empress Dowager Xiao hurriedly jumped over the wall and forced himself into the wasteland.

The previous few times he endured in every possible way, not that Ji Qingchen annihilated an elite army not far away and taught Empress Dowager Xiao a lesson, but because he was worried about the casualties on his side.

Now, with enemies on all sides, if he doesn't give Empress Dowager Xiao a head-on blow, it is estimated that he will die on the grassland.

After thinking about it like this, Ji Qingchen immediately summoned Li Changzheng, Zuo Zongquan and Huang Taiji to his big tent and explained his decision to the four of them.

"Brother Jiu, I have no opinion on this point of the Long March, because the Long March has already held its breath and wants to fight with them!" Li Changzheng said with high morale, "Hmph! Don't teach Empress Dowager Xiao a lesson, this old witch still thinks we are vegetarians! ”

"Let's fight!" Zuo Zongquan said, although the words are short, only two words, but they are sonorous and powerful, which is enough to express his determination and fighting spirit.

"It's time to give these bastards a little color!" Huang Taiji also said coldly, his eyes were full of murderous intent, he is also a bloodthirsty and murderous person, and he can improve his combat effectiveness through fighting, he can't ask for Ji Qingchen's decision!

Only Li Ke was still thinking about it after listening to Ji Qingchen's decision, and he didn't speak. So all four of them turned their eyes to him, wanting to hear what he would say. After pondering for a long time, he saw Li Ke nodding slightly, and he agreed with Ji Qingchen's resolution.

However, just after Li Ke nodded, Ji Qingchen spoke, "Duel with the five thousand elite cavalry in front of us, as long as Captain Li agrees with the king's decision, as for you tiger and leopard riders, you should stay by Shu'er's side!" ”

"What does Your Highness mean?" Li Ke asked puzzledly, he felt that it was because he had not replied to Ji Qingchen for a long time that Ji Qingchen had despised their tiger and leopard riders and had contempt for their tiger and leopard riders.

"Captain Li, don't get me wrong, this king doesn't mean to despise the tiger and leopard cavalry, but compared to our war, Shu'er's safety is more important, so she has two hundred elite horsemen by her side to protect her safety, so that this king can fight with peace of mind!" Ji Qingchen said, "And it is more suitable for you tiger and leopard riders to stay by Shu'er's side than the Xiao cavalry camp." ”

This is not his contrived words, but from the bottom of his heart. Because Shu'er is his only one, he is undoubtedly worried about Shu'er's safety, so he will leave one-third of the combat effectiveness of the horse team to Shu'er, and the tiger and leopard riding camp is more suitable for Shu'er.

"Could it be that His Highness only wants to use four million to prepare to annihilate five thousand people?" Li Ke was surprised, he believed in Ji Qingchen's combat effectiveness, and he also believed in Ji Qingchen's ability to command troops, but with only 400 people, it was like annihilating 5,000 elite horsemen, which he still couldn't believe.

"What, does Captain Li have any questions?" Ji Qingchen asked rhetorically.

"This—" Li Ke said with careful phrasing, "Is the army a little thin?" ”

"What's this? It's not that we haven't experienced such a big war, it's just that Brother Jiu doesn't want his brothers to sacrifice, so he will compromise with this group of miscellaneous people again and again. Now that we've been cornered, it's time to fight back. Li Changzheng said with a big grin, he is a rough man, but his mind is still very delicate, but as a soldier, he understands the duties and destiny of a soldier, so he knows that he wants to die in battle, and he will not be submissive.

"Hmph—what's the point of having just five thousand elite riders!" Zuo Zongquan snorted coldly and said, as far as he is concerned, as long as Ji Qingchen says war, he will not say anything, even if he is one against a thousand, he has no complaints.

"This time I'm going to kill again!" Huang Taiji said excitedly, there was no sense of oppression because of four hundred versus five thousand.

Seeing that the three of them all said this, it seemed that they had no pressure at all to kill the enemy, with four hundred against five thousand, which suddenly made Li Ke speechless. He never thought that there would be such three war maniacs around him, and they were also outrageously perverted. In fact, deep down in his heart, he was surprised by the strong confidence that Ji Qingchen and Li Changzheng, Zuo Zongquan and Huang Taiji dared to use four hundred against five thousand people.

Is this the reason why Ji Qingchen was able to defeat the Beirong army and build a fine cavalry in just one year? Li Ke thought so in his heart, but he still held back the question in his heart and didn't ask.

As soon as the decision came out, she stopped doing it when she knew about it.

Because it was Shu'er who knew that Ji Qingchen had such strength, but if she was killed, she was unwilling to part with Ji Qingchen again, so she let Ji Qingchen go on an adventure alone.

Therefore, no matter how much Ji Qingchen persuaded Shu'er, Shu'er just didn't allow Ji Qingchen to go on an adventure alone, so she had to go with Ji Qingchen.

This time it stumped Ji Qingchen, because he still knew Shu'er's temper very well, even if he recognized something, he would not compromise again.

And seeing that the best time to annihilate the cavalry in front of him has appeared, he can't get Shu'er to agree with his decision, which makes Ji Qingchen very anxious, and when he has no choice, he can only compromise with Shu'er and agree that Shu'er will follow him.

This made Shu'er agree to his adventure.

But in this way, when they targeted the 5,000 people in front of them this time, there were 600 people around them, so that Ji Qingchen's strength was no longer overstretched!

"Let's go!" Just after the six hundred were ready, Ji Qingchen gave the order.

The army began to march and galloped to the camp of five thousand elite horsemen in front!

This attack on these 5,000 people, Ji Qingchen made a careful plan. He divided the cavalry battalion into four parts, each part of 100 people, led by him and Zuo Zongquan, Li Changzheng and Huang Taiji, as the main force to annihilate 5,000 enemies this time, and divided the tiger and leopard cavalry into two parts, each part of 100 people, leaving 100 people for Shu'er, as a reserve, let Li Ke lead 100 people as rangers, at any time to attack the weakest part of the opponent.

Therefore, when the army galloped less than ten miles away from the five thousand national elites, it was discovered by the other party.

"Prepare for battle!" Ji Qingchen gave a military order.

As soon as his order was issued, he saw Li Changzheng, Zuo Zongquan, Huang Taiji, and Li Ke each leading their own 100 men and horses to disappear into the vast grassland.

Suddenly, there were only one hundred Xiao cavalry battalions and one hundred tigers and leopards left around Ji Qingchen.

However, as soon as the four of them left on the front foot, the scouts received news that the five thousand elite horsemen in front of them had discovered them and were making preparations for battle.

"They're so calm!" Ji Qingchen smiled, and said to the scout beside him to let him continue to monitor, and he said to Shu'er, "Charge later, you must follow my side, do you know the way?" ”

Originally, he wanted to leave Shu'er on the field to fight, but when he thought that the other party had 5,000 people, and left Shu'er outside to watch the battle, there were only 100 people around him, he was not at ease, so he was ready to take Shu'er with him, this is because Ji Qingchen is very confident, he believes that with the combat power of the tiger and leopard cavalry and the Xiao cavalry battalion around him, even if he is just protecting Shu'er, it is not difficult to break out of the 5,000 elite cavalry.

Therefore, he was not at all afraid that he would fall into the encirclement of five thousand elite horsemen who had left the country with Shu'er.

"Brother Zhilu said to Brother Qingchen, don't worry!" Shu'er looked very calm, because she believed that as long as Brother Qingchen was by her side, she would not be able to hurt her, and besides, she was not a weak woman, adhering to the ancient tradition of the royal family who left the country, she had also learned martial arts, and the martial arts were not bad, although she was not as good as Ji Qingchen, but her strength could also be comparable to generals such as Xiao Qian, so she was a little worried about the threat of this war to her.

"The herald has time to rest for half a pillar of incense and prepare for battle!" Ji Qingchen ordered, he knew that the five thousand elite horsemen in front of him were estimated to rush in front of him after half a pillar of incense, so he ordered two hundred people to rest and prepare to wait for work.

As soon as his order arrived, the two hundred people had just rested for half a pillar of incense, when they saw a black line appear in the western sky, and then an elite cavalry appeared, and after careful counting, it was found that there were more than five thousand people.

When this cavalry rushed to six hundred steps in front of Ji Qingchen, it really only took half a pillar of incense.

"Ahead, His Royal Highness the King and Princess of Northern Liao?" The leading general of this cavalry asked, he was also surprised when he rushed in front of Ji Qingchen, because he saw the tiger and leopard horse, he didn't expect that there was a tiger and leopard horse by Ji Qingchen's side, the king of the light cavalry of the country, and there were quite a few people, there were a hundred people, which made him think of a terrible guess, Ji Qingchen in front of him was so bold, he dared to meet his five thousand men and horses with two hundred, could it be that there was an ambush nearby, was it a tiger and leopard horse?

With this speculation, this military general did not give the order to charge.

"Yes, it's this king and Shu'er, I don't know what General Lu Dao is called, why are you here?" Ji Qingchen asked calmly, not paying attention to the five thousand departed spirit riders in front of him at all.

"Xiao Ding, the commander of the Southern Courtyard Guard Battalion, has seen His Royal Highness the King and Princess of Northern Liao!" Shi Lidao, the general who led the army, said his name and military position, and at the same time he answered Ji Qingchen's question, "In the end, I am here on the orders of the prime minister of the Southern Courtyard, and I am going to take the king and princess of Northern Liao back to live in the capital." ”

"You're being honest!" Ji Qingchen sighed softly and said sarcastically, but after saying this, he didn't say a word again, and Xiao Ding also didn't speak again, because both of them knew that neither of them would compromise, and the only way was to fight.

Therefore, just when Ji Qingchen was standing up and making preparations for battle, Xiao Ding also gave an order to attack the five thousand people behind him.
