Chapter 161: Dialogue
By the time the cavalry battalion broke through the defenses of Asan's men and crossed the river, it was already ten days later.
In the past ten days, except for issuing some military orders, Ji Qingchen, as the boss, has hardly spoken to everyone. But everyone can still understand the mood of the King of Northern Liao, because Yang Zhixing was born in the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and many of the children in the Eight Hundred Xiao Cavalry Battalion used to be his subordinates. Now that Yang Zhixing is dead in battle, there is not even a corpse left, and everyone is very sad in their hearts!
And Yang Zhixing's death in battle is for Ji Qingchen, this is the only middle-level general of Dayan who has died in battle since he led the army to Beirong.
And the war is not over yet, Yang Zhixing will definitely not be the first general to die in battle, and he will never be the last general to die in battle.
Because Ji Qingchen, who was far away in Liaozhou, did not know what to do, the battle experienced on the battlefield of Shangzhou at this time was also very tragic, and Lin Ping, who he sent to Meng Li's side, had already died in the confrontation with Meng Buge's army.
In this way, the 800 cavalry battalion spent more than ten days in silence. On this day, the sky became gloomy and terrible, as if another heavy snow was about to fall.
At this time, Ji Qingchen was standing on a hillside with his hands in his hands, staring into the distance in a daze and being silent. And at this moment, I saw Zuo Zongquan hurriedly walking in front of him.
"What? The Beijon cavalry caught up with us again? He asked Zuo Zongquan without looking back.
"Yes, it's less than twenty miles away." Zuo Zongquan said.
"This crazy woman is really haunted!" Li Changzheng, who was guarding Ji Qingchen's side, scolded hatefully.
"It is estimated that she is determined to kill us in Liaozhou." Zuo Zongquan sighed. Since crossing the river and entering the hinterland of Liaozhou, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion has been playing cat and mouse with Ah San's 10,000 elite horsemen for more than ten days, but the other party is still biting himself, as if he is not dead in the heart of the Yellow River.
This kind of pursuit made Zuo Zongquan have no way and no temper!
"Brother Jiu, let the Long March lead two hundred brothers to meet this girl!" Li Changzheng, who was silent for a moment, suddenly asked Ji Qingchen for battle.
As the captain of Ji Qingchen's personal guard, it was a bit abnormal for Li Changzheng to suddenly say this. Because his duty is to protect Ji Qingchen, not to fight bravely to kill the enemy.
"Ninth brother, Zuo Zongquan is willing to go with Li Changzheng to meet this 10,000 Beirong elite horsemen." Zuo Zongquan also asked for battle.
"This is not what you two mean, it's what all the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion mean, right?" Ji Qingchen turned around and asked, there was no expression on his face, but his eyes were very resolute.
"Yes." Li Changzheng said, "Brother Jiu, the brothers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion can be ten with one, and the Beirong people who are pursuing us only have 10,000 elite cavalry, and the brothers are willing to fight to the death with Beirong, and everyone is willing to protect Brother Jiu and send Brother Jiu to Yunzhou safely." ”
"You-" Ji Qingchen said, but the words stopped again, and after a long time, he sighed and said, "Since everyone is willing to fight, let's go and meet them, and see how many catties and taels this month is with the Beirong Iron Guard behind us!" ”
"Brother Jiu, let Zuo Zongquan be the pioneer this time!" Zuo Zongquan said, "Let the Long March follow you and protect you." ”
Li Changzheng's mouth moved, and he didn't say anything. Because it is his duty to protect Ji Qingchen, and Zuo Zongquan has already asked for war to be the vanguard, so there is no need for him to fight with the other party anymore.
", the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is the Xiao Cavalry Battalion of this king, this king is not dead yet, when will it be your turn to be the pioneer?" Ji Qingchen scolded with a smile, his right hand was on the wolf blade at his waist, and his eyes showed a murderous aura that looked at the world.
……
Defeat on the banks of the Great River, which Ahsan did not expect. When she led the army to the bank of the river, she didn't see the long-awaited scene of Ji Qingchen fighting with the Aofang cavalry, but only saw a pile of frozen corpses lying on the ground.
But what made him most angry was Ao Fang.
Because since the battle on the banks of the river, not only Ji Qingchen has run away, but even Ao Fang has also disappeared.
Ah Sang has grown so big, and it is the first time that he has planted several heels in a row on a person, and this person is Ji Qingchen. It was because she hated Ji Qingchen in her heart, and secretly vowed to capture Ji Qingchen alive.
This allowed her to bite Ji Qingchen tightly after crossing the river, and chased for more than ten days.
At this time, when she heard the scout's report, saying that Ji Qingchen had stopped marching and ordered the cavalry to seem to meet her 10,000 elite cavalry, she was shocked by the news and was a little uncomfortable, Ji Qingchen, who had been running like a lost dog for more than a month, suddenly wanted to use 800 people to meet her 10,000 elite cavalry.
It's not like you've been kicked in the head by a donkey, or you're nervous, right?
But even if she couldn't believe it, she was very much looking forward to the battle with Ji Qingchen, so she ordered the army to speed up the march, and the distance that should have taken half an hour to arrive appeared in front of Ji Qingchen with only a stick of incense.
When he looked at Ji Qingchen, who was riding on a horse six hundred paces away in front of him, Ahsan restrained his war horse, and the army stopped advancing. After observing quietly for a moment, and when it was determined that it was Ji Qingchen himself, Ah Sang urged him forward.
Seeing Ah Sang riding forward, Ji Qingchen, who was riding a horse and standing in front of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, also urged the war horse and slowly walked to a distance of a hundred steps away from Ah Sang and stopped.
"King of Northern Liao, don't come unharmed if you haven't seen you for more than a month!" Ahsan said sarcastically in an unkind tone.
"Okay." Ji Qingchen replied, "You have made great progress, but it is not enough to be a famous general." ”
"It's better than His Highness running around like a lost dog!" Ah Sang sneered, "The dignified King of Northern Liao of Great Yan, the Metropolitan Governor of Northern Liao who commands an army of 300,000 troops in the four states of Great Yan, is chased by a woman like a dog by me, and there may be no one in the world except for you King of Northern Liao." ”
"Ha Lu Ha-" Ji Qingchen smiled, laughing very presumptuously.
"What are you laughing at, Your Highness?" Ahsan asked, puzzled.
"Do you remember what this king said to your father Khan?" Ji Qingchen asked with a smile, his eyes full of banter.
"What?" Ahsan asked coldly.
"If you think about it for a year, you won't forget it." Ji Qingchen said very firmly.
Ah Sang didn't ask Ji Qingchen again, but closed his eyes and recalled the scene when he and Ji Qingchen met at the mouth of the valley, and suddenly a sentence that Ji Qingchen said to her father Khan at that time came to her heart: My teacher once said such a good thing, he said: That year I met the then general of the country in Shangjing, I challenged him and was defeated by his sword, but later I won the position of the general. At that time, when the teacher said this, the king did not understand what he meant, but now the king understands, just like the question asked by the Great Khan, when the king was sent to leave the country as a hostage, the king lost a lot of things that should have belonged to him, but in the future the king will get more things. This is the answer that this king gave to the Great Khan.
"Your teacher's words?" Ahsan asked.
"Yes." Ji Qingchen replied, his expression was very serious at this time, "The teacher once said such a good sentence, he said: That year, I met the then general of the country in Shangjing, I challenged him and was defeated by his sword, but later I won the position of the general. ”
"What does Your Highness want to tell me when you say this?" Ah Sang seemed to have understood the meaning of Ji Qingchen's words, but he still asked.
"This king was indeed chased by you for most of Yunzhou, and then ran to Liaozhou, but this can never change the fact that this king is stronger than you. Just like the king said to you at the mouth of the valley, women should stay at home and teach their husbands and children, you Beirong is doomed to failure, and this king will definitely send someone to marry you at that time. Hehe, of course, this king said that if you don't want to marry this king, try to learn to be a famous general, and if you become a famous general one day, you will come to compete with this king for the world! But now this king has found that you don't have this potential, and you can't become a famous general in this life. ”
"Hmph-" Ah Sang snorted coldly, "Could it be that the King of Northern Liao will only be crazy with his tongue?" Whether you are stronger than me or not, we will see on the battlefield later! ”
"Good!" Ji Qingchen replied.
And then both were silent!
Ahsan didn't speak!
And Ji Qingchen also didn't speak!
The two just looked at each other and were silent!
For there is nothing more to say.
At the end of the road is the end of the world, and at the end of the words is separation. So they rode away and returned to their respective armies.
Before Ah Sang returned to his 10,000 iron guards, he divided the 10,000 iron guards into ten thousand people, which she specially prepared for Ji Qingchen, that is, she used ten thousand people to charge again and again, disperse the eight hundred guards around Ji Qingchen, and then capture Ji Qingchen alive.
And Ji Qingchen returned to the Xiaoqi camp, pulled out his sword, and he held a ceremony.
This ritual is that when he pulled out his war knife and raised it high, the eight hundred cavalry battalion also pulled out his war knife, and at the same time, he raised the war knife high above his head. Then I saw Ji Qingchen lightly touch the war knife of the Eight Hundred Xiao Cavalry Battalion with his own war knife from this side of the team, galloped to the other side of the team, and returned to the central position.
At the end of this ceremony, I saw that the cavalry camp began to gather together again. Led by Ji Qingchen, with Li Changzheng and Zuo Zongquan as the two wings, they set up a large trident formation against Ah San's 10,000 iron guards.
After making all these preparations, Ji Qingchen, who held his sword high, did not wait for the Beirong cavalry to attack, and he gave the order to attack. As soon as his order was reached, the 800 Xiao cavalry battalion followed closely behind him, urging the war horse under the crotch to gallop in small broken steps, and when the distance between the two sides was 500 steps, the slow galloping Xiao cavalry camp accelerated the speed of the impact, and the war horse changed from a small broken step to a big stride charge, and at this moment Ji Qingchen and the 800 Xiao cavalry battalion had already bent their bows and arrows and shot out the first set of feather arrows, and the distance between the two sides was only 300 steps after the first wave of feather arrows was shot, and it was too late to shoot the second set of feather arrows, and the 800 Xiao cavalry camp put down the bow and arrow like Ji Qingchen, Took out the repeater from the saddle, whoosh! Sou! Sou! He shot three crossbow arrows, and by the time they were gone, the distance between the two sides was less than a hundred paces.
At this time, the swords of the eight hundred cavalry battalions were raised high, and they fiercely killed the enemy in front of them.
