The stalemate between the two armies lasted so long that the three armies could not think of a strategy to break the city after discussing for a long time, and one afternoon, when the three armies were in a meeting, Minister Xie suddenly called Chen Zui and the three of them into it and asked them to participate in discussing the strategy of breaking the enemy.

The bravery of the trio on the battlefield is well known, and even so, in their capacity they are never qualified to participate in such meetings.

It was Minister Xie who overrode the public opinion, saying that the three of them had something special, and now was the time when there was nothing to be done, so it was better to listen to what the three of them thought.

The three of them entered the conference hall, and Minister Xie asked them to speak freely and boldly put forward any ideas. The three of them boldly put forward all the ideas in their hearts, and the commanders first felt that their ideas were bold and unrealistic, but after calming down and carefully considering them, they seemed to have something feasible, and then combined with the opinions of everyone, they jointly planned to remove this trick of feigning mutiny to lure the enemy.

Pan Chonggang wanted to withdraw the army, but news came from the front that the city was in an emergency, the crusading army was attacking the city, and the soldiers defending the city were almost unable to resist. Pan Chongwan suddenly realized that this was a serial plan, they pretended to be a civil war, part of the troops set up an ambush here, but secretly sent another army of men and horses to ambush under the city, and when their own army was diverted, they ambushed the soldiers and horses on the field to take the opportunity to attack Yinchuan.

When the crusading army heard the news, the number of soldiers increased, and the army on Pan Chong's side was distracted, and they were defeated and collapsed. Zheng Dashuai had already prepared for this, and as soon as he heard that Yinchuan was in a hurry, he immediately drew part of his troops to support Yinchuan. Pan Chong's side was already a battle of trapped beasts, seeing the defeat, the remnants of the soldiers escorted Pan Chong to escape, and Zheng Dashuai only left 3,000 troops to chase Pan Chong.

Three thousand soldiers chased Pan Chong and found that he was fleeing to the edge of the Yellow River, it turned out that he had already planned a way back for himself, even if the army was defeated, he would have to escape by boat from the Yellow River, and the two sides were close to the Yellow River when it was another bloody battle.

Bai Wenhao saw Pan Chong fleeing to the Yellow River when the two armies were at odds, and immediately rode a horse to chase after him, Pan Chong still got on the boat one step ahead of him, no matter how good Bai Wenhao was, he couldn't catch up, and in a blink of an eye, Pan Chong's remnants of the soldiers had been wiped out.

Yinchuan was attacked by Zheng Dashuai's army, and Pan Chong had fled, and the general defending the city finally couldn't resist it, and Kaecheng surrendered, so far, the Ningxia rebellion was completely put down.

After Marshal Zheng led his army into the city, he ordered the three armies to reorganize for three days and returned triumphantly.

In this expedition, there were a total of 300 students from the Guicheng Military Academy, 62 of whom died on the battlefield, and 10 of whom were from the infantry section. Chen Zui and the others watched their classmates who were training together being burned to ashes, and they all burst into tears, and no one was happy about the victory of the war.

Three days later, they took the urn of the deceased and got on the way back, and on the way back, there was silence, and they remembered those cruel verses again.

They didn't return to the military academy until the sixth day, and Principal Guo led the school leaders to wait for them on the playground.

President Guo praised them, mourned the deceased, and finally announced that all the students present had graduated, and they would be awarded graduation certificates in three days, hoping that they would be able to do their part for the nation after graduation.

After the end, Instructor Liu asked them to assemble at the training ground.

They stood in line, looking back at the familiar figure beside them, and sorrow came from it, and sobbing was faintly heard in the crowd.

Instructor Liu arrived, and his face was solemn. Instructor Liu is the saddest person, every class of students is brought out by him, and he has watched the students he brought out die on the battlefield again and again, and his pain is again and again.

"Stand upright, take a break, stand upright."

"From today onwards, you don't have to train anymore, and in three days you will get your diploma and you will be able to go your separate ways." Instructor Liu knew that there was probably no chance to say goodbye to this farewell, and his tone was no longer as stern as usual.

"Instructor, we will not forget your teachings."

Instructor Liu smiled faintly, "Instructor wishes you a bright future and great achievements." Thinking of those students who died in battle, he said softly: "The ashes of those classmates will be sent to their homes by the school, all of this is providence." Instructor Liu turned to him, trying to restrain the tears in his eyes, and recently said softly: "Disband." ”

Everyone saluted Instructor Liu again and bowed.

Instructor Liu saluted back and smiled slightly.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Zou Bao'er was looking around at the door. When he turned around and saw that the people he was concerned about had come back safe and sound, he was overjoyed, ran towards them, and hugged Zou Baoyi.

"Hands, hands..."

Zou Bao'er hurriedly let go and looked at it, they were all back, but everyone was injured, and they couldn't be said to be harmed. Zou Baoyi's right hand is still tied with gauze, and Li Chengjing and others are also injured, compared to dying on the battlefield, this injury is nothing.

They walked in together, and Zou Bao'er said as she walked: "I heard that the people who went out have returned, but I am still busy in the infirmary, and I have only come here until now." ”

Zou Baoyi said: "It's a great luck that we can come back alive, and others will ......" Everything is a foregone conclusion, and he doesn't want to say more.

After sitting down, Li Chengjing briefly told Zou Bao'er about the battlefield, and Zou Bao'er knew how lucky they were to come back if they hadn't been on the battlefield. Zou Baoer told Li Chengjing that Leng Chuxian had been picked up by her father and brother ten days ago.

Li Chengjing thought to herself: "Chu Xian didn't know that I was back, she must be very worried, and she must find a way to tell her the news that she and the others returned safely, so as not to worry all the time." ”

Zou Bao'er knew what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "Chu Xian left her home phone number before leaving, and I will make a call to report to her in a while." ”

Li Chengjing nodded.

After the meal, Zou Bao'er took all of them to the infirmary to re-bandage and apply medicine. Zou Baoer used the phone in the infirmary to dial Leng Chuxian's home, Leng Chuxian knew that they had all returned safely, and the worries of the past few days were finally put down.

They rested for an afternoon, and in the evening, Zou Baoyi invited a few of them to Taifeng Restaurant for dinner. None of them were seriously injured, and they were fifty percent better from Yinchuan to when they came back, Zou Bao'er still strictly ordered them not to drink tonight, and they didn't want to brush off her kindness, so they had to replace the wine with tea.

The first cup is to honor the students who died in the war, and the second and third cups are to celebrate each other's safe return. After three cups, they didn't talk about the battlefield again.

Speaking of the next plans, except for Li Chengjing, they were all hesitant, Zou Baoyi and Shen Hong had to take care of their families, Lu Baiting couldn't let go of the girls in Nancun, Chen Zui and Duan Shaoling were speechless.

Duan Shaoling suddenly said: "Cheng Jing, do you still count the things you said earlier about taking us into the Li family's army?" ”

Chen Zui was surprised, "Shaoling, have you decided to go?" ”

Duan Shaoling nodded, "As long as what Cheng Jing said counts, we will go." ”

Since Li Chengjing mentioned it that night, Duan Shaoling and Chen Zui have not discussed a word, Duan Shaoling now suddenly said that he decided to join the Li family, Chen Zui didn't know his decision in advance, "Why don't you discuss it with me?" ”

Duan Shaoling smiled silently, looked at Li Chengjing, and waited for her answer.

Li Chengjing said: "You are willing to come, why am I not welcome?" The words I said that night were counted. ”

Duan Shaoling deliberately said to Chen Zui: "Are you going with me?" ”

Chen Zui smiled: "We are brothers, of course we have to advance and retreat together." ”

Duan Shaoling thought about it repeatedly, Li Chengjing was right, and then experienced the cruelty of the war, Duan Shaoling knew that anything just relying on blood was empty talk after all, and if you want to do something in the future, going to the Li family is the best choice now. They may not have a better choice if they don't go to the Li family, it is better to choose someone they can trust.

Coupled with the relationship between Chen Zui and Li Chengjing, if he refuses, Chen Zui will inevitably be in a dilemma between him and Li Chengjing, he can't ignore Chen Zui's feelings, there is no need to make these words clear to Chen Zui, everyone just tacitly.

Chen Zui has also been worrying about this matter for the past month, he doesn't want to force Duan Shaoling to do what he doesn't want to do, and he can't give up on Li Chengjing, he knows that Duan Shaoling made this decision half for him, and his heart is very moved.

Li Chengjing said again: "Then when the matter here is clear, let's go back to Ningzhou together." ”

Shen Hong suddenly said, "Cheng Jing, do you only want to invite the two of them?" If a few of us also go, would you be welcome? ”

Li Chengjing said: "If you are willing to come, it is really unbelievable." ”

They can't drink alcohol, and they have to go back to school after eating.

Li Chengjing found that since the second half, Zou Baoer has been silent, as if she has something on her mind. I'm embarrassed to ask her here, and it's not too late to ask when I go back to the dormitory.

When they were about to get to the school gate, they saw a group of gendarmes patrolling outside, as if they were searching for something. Everyone who enters the school gate will be questioned a little before letting them in.

Chen Zui said: "It's not even nine o'clock now, why are they interrogating the students who went in?" There must be something strange about sending so many people on patrol. ”

"Just go and see what's going on."

As soon as they arrived at the door, they didn't see Minister Xie or Captain Gong left and right, and some soldiers stepped forward to interrogate them. "Where did you just go?" The tone is not very friendly.

Chen Zui said: "We just came back from dinner at Taifeng Restaurant. ”

"Oh, did you meet any suspicious people on the way back?"

Zou Baoyi said: "The military police outside, and your interrogation for no reason, no one is more suspicious than you." ”

Duan Shaoling asked, "Excuse me, sir, what happened tonight?" ”

The man looked at them, "You're students in the infantry section?" ”

"Exactly."

"Instructor Liu was just killed near the outer gate."

They only felt five thunderbolts in an instant, and they couldn't believe their ears, and asked in surprise, "What did you say?" Instructor Liu...... How is this possible? ”

"It's true, Instructor Liu's body is now in the infirmary." Captain Gong came from behind, and it was he who led the patrol.

"Hair... What happened? How could Instructor Liu have an accident? Their voices were choked.

Captain Gong said that he had been standing guard here tonight, and Instructor Liu left the school a clock ago. Half an hour later, he heard several gunshots not far ahead, the gunshots came from the northeast of the school gate, he immediately took people to see them, and when he arrived, he only saw that Instructor Liu had been shot and fell to the ground, and he was already dead.

On the one hand, he sent people to send Instructor Liu's body back to the infirmary, and on the other hand, he sent additional people to investigate nearby.
