Chapter Seventy-Six: Tricked
The Nine Emperors of Dayan are going to compete with Xu Zhen, the prince of Western Shu, in the Yulin Riding School, which is a scene that the people of King's Landing City have been looking forward to for a long time. They have long been dissatisfied with Xu Zhen, the prince of Western Shu, especially the arrogance of martial arts, and have a lot of resentment against the pikemen around Xu Zhen, and now that Ji Qingchen can destroy the prestige of Xu Zhen, the prince of Western Shu, and the pikemen, they naturally can't ask for it. In addition, during this time, Ji Qingchen was crowned the king of Northern Liao, and he destroyed the Xishu Warrior outside the King's Landing City, slaughtered the iron sword warriors of the Eastern Wilderness, and collected the elite cavalry of the Beirong barbarians, which became famous for a while. As soon as the morning dawned, they flocked to the outside of Yulinqi's school grounds, wanting to see the majesty of the Ninth Highness who destroyed Xu Zhen, the prince of Western Shu. It was Ji Qingchen who went out early and rode to the outside of the school field, but still found that the outside of the school field was already crowded with people, and the direction through the gate had already been surrounded by the people of King's Landing.
When the people saw him, they rushed to his horse, and everyone shouted in unison for the king of Northern Liaoββ, which made Huang Taiji and the white cavalry camp of the four hundred guards Ji Qingchen nervous.
Ji Qingchen, who was riding on the horse, smiled and nodded to everyone. But as soon as he entered the school, his mood became a little solemn.
Because he knew very well that the emotions of the people outside the school were instigated, and the people had been taken advantage of, and this person's purpose was very simple, that is, to knock him down from the current high altar to the mortal world through the hands of Xu Zhen and the pikemen, and then smash him into hell.
When Ji Qingchen first agreed with Xu Zhen to fight a war, it was rumored, and he learned that the idea of this person who was hiding behind the scenes and spreading rumors was only limited to his ability at the time, and he did not find out the results for a long time, and when he set up the two secret guard systems of "Inner Factory" and "Iron Clothing", he was entangled in the poisoning case and the princess kidnapping case, so he had no energy to care about this matter anymore.
Now seeing the overreaction of the people outside the school grounds, he realized that he had neglected a problem, because he was too busy during this time, he didn't bother to pay attention to this potential enemy, but the other party had been accumulating strength during this time, wanting to kill him with one blow. His face was a little gloomy. Because this neglect may not seem big, there is a danger of losing the whole game if you are not careful! But now that we're on campus, what can I do? You can only see the performance of the cavalry battalion and the pikemen in the first battle!
The school field of Yulin Cavalry can accommodate the training and martial arts training of nearly 10,000 soldiers.
Xu Zhen, the prince of Xishu, arrived at the school early and was training his 1,000 pikemen.
In this contest with Ji Qingchen, he specially invited several princes and the young master of the Eastern Wilderness Bailijing to watch the battle together, and invited Su Jian, the deputy general of the Yulin Cavalry, to be the judge, so Ji Qingchen arrived at the Chinese army tent in the school field, and found that Su Jian, the deputy general of the Yulin Cavalry, was reading quietly alone, and immediately got up when he saw Ji Qingchen, and Ji Qingchen returned the salute to Su Jian very modestly. A moment later, several of his imperial brothers and Jingtong of the Eastern Wilderness also walked into the big tent gracefully, and the people invited by Xu Zhen were all there!
When he arrived, Xu Zhen strode into the big tent of the Chinese army. He saw that Ji Qingchen was chatting happily with everyone, his face was cold, and he said in a hard tone, "I didn't expect His Royal Highness Nine to arrive a long time ago, just now I thought His Highness was still in the gentle township." β
"Just now, Xu Shizi was supervising the training of soldiers and horses, and the sound of killing in the school field was completely shocking, and the king had already heard it. Indeed, compared with Xu Shizi, this king is really inferior! Ji Qingchen said with a smile to himself.
However, when he heard Xu Zhen in his ears with lukewarm self-deprecation, it was a sarcastic remark, which made Xu Zhen's face even more ugly.
"So, may I ask if today's battle with His Royal Highness the Ninth can begin?" Xu Zhen asked coldly, his tone was very rude.
"Xu Shizi is so anxious, this king should accompany him." Ji Qingchen said with a smile, "Please! β
As soon as he said the word "please", the momentum of the whole person changed, not like the Hang'er Lang just now, and his whole body exuded the courage of a soldier. Su Jian's eyes, who were observing the words and deeds of the two on the side, lit up, and his eyes showed appreciation.
Everyone got out of the big tent of the Chinese army, and they arrived at the school in a moment.
Walking into the school field, they found that on the huge school field, there were only Xu Zhen's 1,000 pikemen and Huang Taiji's 400 white cavalry battalions, and there was no shadow of the Xiao cavalry battalion. General Xu Zhen asked with a gloomy face, "May I ask Your Highness, where is your cavalry battalion?" Could it be that His Highness is going to use four hundred barbarian elite horsemen to compete with Xu Zhen's pikemen? β
The 400 White Cavalry Battalion is the elite of the Beirong Zhengbai Banner, which Xu Zhen knows. And the Zhengbai Banner is the same as the Beirong Zhenghuang Flag and the Yellow Banner, and it is the most powerful existence among the Beirong Eight Banners, so if Ji Qingchen really wants to use these four hundred to deal with his thousand pikemen, Xu Zhen is also a little unconfident, and he doesn't dare to really think that his 1,000 pikemen can win this competition in a hearty battle.
"Beirong Jing is invincible in horseback fighting, even if it is not comparable to the national iron cavalry, how can this king let them compete with the pikemen of the prince? Xu Shizi is too hearty. Ji Qingchen explained with a smile. But hearing his explanation, Xu Zhen's face became even more gloomy, because Xu Zhen heard Ji Qingchen's sarcastic meaning, which was scolding him for only bullying the soft and fearing the hard, and only daring to be arrogant in front of the Xiaoqi camp. However, Xu Zhen still couldn't help but didn't say anything he didn't dare to fight with Beirong Jingcai, he prepared for this battle for a month, and also endured it for a month, he didn't want to be impulsive because of Ji Qingchen's few sarcastic words.
"It's not that Xu Zhen thinks too much, but he hasn't seen the Xiaoqi camp yet, and Xu Zhen will inevitably worry about His Highness! I was afraid that they would think that they would fight with the pikemen today, and they would shrink into the camp in the Kunshan military camp and dare not enter the city. Xu Zhen said sarcastically, and also took Ji Qingchen's army.
"Haha Because at this moment, the dust outside the school field was flying, and the sound of horses' hooves reached the school field, and the ground began to tremble slightly, and I saw that the two lines of iron horses had rushed towards the school field.
This iron cavalry is murderous under the leadership of a military general, like a torrent, and the momentum is monstrous. And immediately the military generals are black-clothed and black-armored, and the horse lance in his hand looks like there is me in the world, indifferent and killing like a god, and he is indescribably domineering.
When the iron cavalry slackened to the center of the school field, they instantly reined in their horses and stood in unison opposite the pikemen. Immediately, the military general turned his horse's head and galloped to the point of the general's stage and said to Ji Qingchen, "The commander of the Xiaocai battalion, Bai Xiangcheng, see His Highness!" β
"Brother Xiang Cheng, can the cavalry battalion be worthy of a battle?" Ji Qingchen asked Bai Xiangcheng who was riding on a horse, seeing the momentum of Bai Xiangcheng and the Xiao Cavalry Camp just now, he was very satisfied with the fierce and domineering spirit that the Xiao Cavalry Battalion was showing now.
"The majestic swallow will never fall! The blood is inexhaustible, and the fight to the death is endless! Why don't you dare? Bai Xiangcheng shouted, "As long as His Highness gives an order, the cavalry battalion will do its best in today's battle." β
His sonorous voice spread throughout the school, and the soldiers of the cavalry battalion heard his generous words, and the war horses under their crotches neighed, and their fighting spirit was high, and they shouted loudly, "The majestic Great Yan will never fall!" The blood is inexhaustible, and the fight to the death is endless! Why don't you dare? β
"Good!" Ji Qingchen roared, picked up the wolf blade in his hand, and pointed at the pikemen fiercely, "Today's battle with the pikemen, this king and you share glory and disgrace!" β
The encouragement of Ji Qingchen from the Xiao Cavalry Battalion was even more indignant, and the shouting of killing shook the sky! At this time, Xu Zhen had already left the Dianjiangtai, rode on a horse in armor, and slowly walked to the pikemen, waiting for Ji Qingchen with a calm face.
"What? Xu Zhen also wants to go to war? Seeing Xu Zhen standing in front of the pikemen in the distance, Ji Qingchen on the stage asked the people beside him puzzled. Everyone was stunned, looking at him in a little surprise, as if to say Aren't you going to fight? Seeing everyone's expressions, Ji Qingchen, who was a little dazed, suddenly realized, and said with a faint smile, "Today is a battle between the cavalry battalion and the pikemen, and this king has never thought of participating in the war!" β
Hearing his words, everyone's faces showed a strange look, and they moved their eyes to Xu Zhen, who was standing on horseback in the distance, and his eyes were full of ridicule.
Xu Zhen, who was standing on the war horse, was quietly waiting for Ji Qingchen to join the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the last time he was in the Lu Wang's Mansion, he wanted to fight with Ji Qingchen, but at that time, Ji Qingchen agreed on this school competition, so he did not force Ji Qingchen to compete with him, and he felt that today's school competition was an opportunity, with his understanding of Ji Qingchen, the other party would definitely personally participate in the battle, so as to fiercely match the morale of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion. But when he didn't see Ji Qingchen not stepping down for a long time, he suddenly seemed to understand what Ji Qingchen meant, and his face immediately became gloomy and terrifying. Because if it weren't for the fact that he saw Ji Qingchen carrying a wolf blade just now with a posture of showing his might in a battle, which made him misunderstand Ji Qingchen's personal participation in the battle, he would not have walked off the stage alone and ignored Ji Qingchen on the side.
But now it's too late to regret it.
Because he had already seen that Bai Xiangcheng, the commander of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, had received Ji Qingchen's order and galloped to the Xiao Cavalry Battalion. The battle drums began to beat on the general's platform, and the loud horn had sounded, and Su Jian, the deputy general of the Yulin Cavalry, who was the judge, had already given the order to attack.
Gathering his thoughts, Xu Zhen saw the Xiao cavalry camp in front of him, and found that after Bai Xiangcheng gave an order, the Xiao cavalry camp was headed by Bai Xiang Cheng, followed by Li Changzheng, Wang Yin and Liu Qingqing, and a thousand Xiao cavalry battalion soldiers followed in a spur formation. He ordered the 1,000 pikemen around him to divide the troops into three routes, the Chinese army met the enemy, the left and right armies outflanked in a roundabout way, and then the order to annihilate the cavalry battalion.
After the main generals of the two sides finished arranging their troops, the horses neighed, and the pikemen shouted the word "kill" loudly, and then they held the cold spears and killed the cavalry battalion. The cavalry battalion, also under the leadership of Bai Xiangcheng, raised the horses and rushed towards the pikemen in a spurt manner.
