Chapter 163: Counterattack

In the battle with the Ahsan Iron Guard, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion annihilated a total of 5,800 Iron Guard elite cavalry, and its own loss was only 270 people, which can be described as a classic cavalry battle with less victory, which is destined to be recorded in history, for later generations of famous generals to regard this battle as their own life goal.

But for Ji Qingchen, the losses in this battle were too heavy, if he wasn't forced to do so, he would never have made such a decision.

Because the cavalry battalion lost a full 270 men!

These two hundred and seventy people may not be able to be cultivated even if it takes him another ten years.

Quietly staring at the sky in the distance, standing in front of the tombstone erected for the soldiers of the Xiaocai battalion who died in battle, Ji Qingchen, who had a solemn face, was silent, he had been here for an afternoon.

"Brother Jiu, it's not early, go back and rest!" Li Changzheng walked up to Ji Qingchen and said, "We have to go back to Caozhou tomorrow." ”

"Long March, do you think this king should bring you to Caozhou?" Ji Qingchen asked Li Changzheng, "If this king hadn't done this, Yang Zhixing and these dead brothers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, they wouldn't have died, and now they might be very happy in King's Landing, right?" ”

"Ninth brother, Yang Zhixing said, he has no regrets about going to Caozhou with you, and the same goes for the brothers of the Xiaocai Battalion who died in the Long March Zhilu Dao, they will not regret coming to Caozhou with you." Li Changzheng said, "Because every man of our men has a desire for this vast world surging in their veins. The idea of following a hero to win the world with my brothers has driven many young people like me to go on the battlefield, even if they never return to their hometown. ”

"But what can you do if you get the world?" Ji Qingchen asked rhetorically.

"Yes, what can you do if you win the world? Ninth brother, the Long March has also thought about such a problem before, because his father is not valued in the family, and the Long March has also suffered a lot of white eyes and suffered a lot, so he will think about what his grandfather will do to cultivate the eldest brother or the second brother. Li Changzheng said in a low voice, "But since I went north to Caozhou with you, I have come down this way, I have seen so many brothers who get along with each other day and night dying in battle, and I have seen more scenes of tens of thousands of people killed in a big war, Long March has figured out a truth, that is, this world is unfair, because when a child of a poor family studies hard in order to make the family have enough to eat, and fights for an inconspicuous position, we children of the big family have already obtained the title that they will not get in their lifetime. has been riding a five-flowered horse and wearing a golden fur, going in and out of the drunken red mansion day and night, and living a luxurious life of singing and dancing. However, when the real war comes, we gentlemen will only hide in our own houses, like frightened canaries, and it will always be these poor children who participate in the war, they put on heavy armor, raise sharp swords, and meet the enemy who is ten times stronger than them, because they need to fight, because Dayan not only allows the children of the world to rise to the top, but also has not blocked the path of the aspiring children of the poor to climb to the top, although this road is very narrow and dangerous, It's like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, but there is always a group of reckless children from poor families who can lay a big foundation for their children and grandchildren, just like the ancestors of the Great Yan Ji clan, just like the ancestors of the seven great families of Great Yan, weren't they all like this before? Brother Jiu, most of the heroes are from the dog slaughtering generation! ”

"Therefore, the Long March will follow the ninth brother without hesitation and charge into battle, because the Long March wants to ensure its own status, and does not want to let its children and grandchildren suffer like the children of the Han family because of their incompetence, and they can't lie on the merits of the family and ancestors and wait for death, waiting for the most stubborn to be trampled by the children of the Han family." Li Changzheng said in a low voice, "Because they are born in poverty, they are the masters who fight with their own hands, because they are not afraid of anything, just like Meng Li, just like Xu Dachun, just like Xiang Ziyu, they dare to be willing to chop the prince off the horse bloody and courageous." ”

"What the Long March said is right, Zongquan also thinks so, and the eight hundred brothers of our Xiaocai Battalion also think so." I don't know when Zuo Zongquan appeared by Ji Qingchen's side, "So, Brother Jiu, the brothers died on the battlefield, in addition to being willing to fight the world with a hero like you, I don't want to live a lifetime, but I also have a desire to fight for glory and wealth for my children and grandchildren, and they are worth dying." ”

"You-" Ji Qingchen wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything, just sighed slightly, and stood quietly in front of the tomb like this, and only after a long time did he ask, "Long March, Zongquan, are you telling the truth?" ”

"Brother Jiu, we are telling the truth, since we said that we would fight for Brother Jiu to fight for the world, we have regarded you as our own big brother, and we never tell lies about the Long March with our big brother." Li Changzheng said excitedly, as the captain of Ji Qingchen's personal guard, he has been with Ji Qingchen for the longest time, and he is also the person who feels the deepest charm of Ji Qingchen's personality, and he is also the most loyal person to Ji Qingchen.

"Brother Jiu, Zongquan's words come from the bottom of my heart." Zuo Zongquan replied in the same way.

"Gather your brothers, and this king will say a few words to them." Suddenly, Ji Qingchen said to Li Changzheng.

"No!" Li Changzheng and Zuo Zongquan stepped back.

Two hundred and seventy men were killed in the battle of the 800 cavalry battalion, and now only 530 remain. But when Li Changzheng summoned everyone to Ji Qingchen's big tent, this cavalry still showed their side as the first cavalry of Dayan, calm, Xiao killed, and did not fall into a tragic atmosphere because of the loss of one-third of their brothers in the First World War.

Their will to fight is still strong!

"Brothers, are we shedding blood and sacrificing just for the sake of the two false names of 'Loyal Jun' and 'Fighting for Dayan'?" Ji Qingchen, who walked to the Xiao Riding Camp, asked loudly.

"Tell me yourself, you have been in the army for a year, have you ever thought about why you want to join the army?" Ji Qingchen continued to ask.

"Your Highness, we don't know what others think, but what we do know is that when we hear His Highness Dao Xiao Cavalry Camp say that we are wearing swords and holding swords, and for the sake of the peace of our homeland and the glory of our brothers, we are ready to follow His Highness with all our hearts!" A soldier of the cavalry battalion said.

"Is that all?" Ji Qingchen asked. The cavalry camp is silent!

"You don't understand? Or do you not want to say that you have understood! Ji Qingchen's voice suddenly became high-pitched and stern, "You are silent, but what are you thinking in your hearts, this king knows Lu Dao, you have already thought about it in your hearts, you happily follow this king to go on the expedition, because you know the thoughts of this king of Lu Dao, you know that this king will hold hundreds of thousands of troops in the future, and the army will be under the imperial capital." When the time comes, in this world, there will be no more strength to prevent this king from ascending to the position of the prince of Dayan. Right? Because this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, you will have your swords ready to fight with this king, just waiting to set foot in King's Landing one day, right? Isn't it? ”

"Yes!" The soldiers of the Xiaocai battalion were silent for a moment when Ji Qingchen asked this, and everyone replied without concealment, "Your Highness just killed us, and we will also tell the truth, the lives of the brothers have been sold to Your Highness the moment they followed Your Highness to Caozhou!" Instead of being sold to Dayan, or to His Majesty the Emperor. In the future, no matter who sits in the position of emperor in King's Landing, the brothers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion are too lazy to care. Because the brothers only recognize the word "Liao" Wang Qi! The brothers came with His Highness's battle flag, and they will also follow His Highness's battle flag. ”

"The purpose is to be as rich as His Highness." The cavalry battalion soldier shouted.

Hearing the soldiers of the Xiaocai battalion say the truth, Ji Qingchen was silent at this moment, and he didn't say a word for a long time. After a long time, he finally spoke, "Xie Lu, thank you for being able to tell the truth to this king, since you all say so, since we are all very young, you are willing to fight with this king with a war knife and a war horse, you are willing to go to this king to gain a greater future for yourself, this king will tell you the truth, this world is actually a living thing, it is not just a glory, a bargaining chip." But even so, with you walking with this king, this king is willing to go with you to Bo a great future, for himself, for his children and grandchildren, to gain a great wealth. ”

"Chitose King of Northern Liaoβ€”" As soon as Ji Qingchen's words fell, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion shouted.

"Chitose King of Northern Liaoβ€”"

"Chitose King of Northern Liao-" It was just a cavalry of more than 500 people, but the roar shook the sky completely, like bursts of thunder, exploding in the air.

However, for such a shout, only Ji Qingchen knew in his heart that what the soldiers of the Xiaocai battalion in front of him wanted to shout was not "Thousand years old King of Northern Liao" but "Long live King of Northern Liao." "Because Da Yan is willing to win a rich and glorious future with a future emperor, rather than a small prince.

Li Changzheng is clear about this, and Zuo Zongquan is also very clear.

However, Ji Qingchen did not break it.

When the shouting stopped, Ji Qingchen, who had been brewing for a while, said, "Since everyone is willing to go to Bo with this king in the future to have a better future, then, now we will first do something worthy of ourselves and worthy of our dead brothers." It is to pursue the Beirong Iron Guard Cavalry, kill them all, avenge the dead brothers, and then we will meet Caozhou. ”

"War-war-war-"

"Kill them allβ€”fightβ€”"

The soldier of the cavalry battalion on the war horse shouted, with high fighting spirit and momentum like a rainbow.

"Rest for two hours, let's go in the evening!" Ji Qingchen issued a military order.

"No!" Li Changzheng and Zuo Zongquan received the order.

And the five hundred and thirty soldiers of the cavalry battalion also turned over and dismounted from their horses, silently making the most preparations for their last battle in Liaozhou.

Because this battle will be remembered in their hearts!

Because, in this battle, they are not fighting for the two false names of "loyalty to the monarch" and "fighting for Dayan", they are really fighting for their own future.
