Cao Xiaojun was ready to die, but at this moment, suddenly a sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and the next moment he heard the sound of muskets.

"Bang bang!"

The dense sound of muskets shocked Cao Xiaojun's spirit, and then when he opened his eyes, he saw that several *** who rushed towards him had been beaten into a sieve.

Cao Xiaojun's face was happy, if he can use a firearm on the grassland, there is no one else, it must be the Lantian Army.

Thinking of this, Cao Xiaojun saw a cavalry company of about 100 people not far away rushing towards this side, and the flag raised by the cavalry company read: Lantian Cavalry Brigade and other words.

"Cavalry brigade, Wang Guixiang's."

Cao Xiaojun muttered, and at this time, the leader of the cavalry company looked at Cao Xiaojun who fell to the ground and shouted, "Quick, save people, it should be our scout."

Hearing this, the cavalry behind him immediately took out the compound bows on their horses, opened the battle formation, and attacked this side.

Seeing this, Gulitai frowned slightly, and the *** behind him said, "It's the cavalry of Naturalization City, Gulitai is a hard stubble."

Seeing this, Gulitai frowned, and the next moment he took out the bow in his hand, and he didn't talk nonsense, he bent his bow and arrows and aimed directly at Cao Xiaojun, since the other party came to the rescue, it was impossible for him to defeat a hundred-man cavalry company on the opposite side with fifty people.

But this person must not be alive, otherwise the location of his camp will be exposed, and when the time comes, it will be really dangerous, thinking of this, Gulitai shot an arrow directly at Cao Xiaojun.

As a Manchu condor archer, at this distance, shooting a wounded Cao Xiaojun who can't move, it is too simple, and there is almost no possibility of missing the target.

You know, he's a marksman who can ride a horse and shoot down eagle owls flying in the air.

The moving targets are all shots and hits, and now Cao Xiaojun's fixed target is almost a score question.

Thinking of this, the bow and arrow were already off the string, and at this moment everyone felt that Cao Xiaojun was finished, and this man had no hope of living anymore.

Gu Litai even turned up the corners of his mouth after the bow and arrow left the string, revealing a confident smile, in his heart, the moment the bow and arrow left the string, Cao Xiaojun was already dead.

No exceptions.

The bow and arrow broke through the air, seeing this scene, Cao Xiaojun's eyes widened, he was unwilling, he could bring the news out at a glance, why did there have such a change.

He didn't want to die, at least he didn't want to die before the information was brought out, but life and death could not be determined by his own thoughts, and at this time the god of death had already beckoned to him.

"Bastard, this damn ***!"

Seeing *** suddenly shoot arrows at his injured comrades, the cavalry company commander who came from the impact roared angrily, but he was helpless, and the whip commander couldn't reach it.

At this distance, he couldn't save Cao Xiaojun at all, and seeing his comrades die in front of his eyes, this was definitely an insult to the cavalry company commander, making the cavalry company commander hate to kill the group of *** in front of him now.

A nameless killing intent rushed straight to the heavenly spirit, and the cavalry company commander kicked the horse's stomach even more fiercely, and rushed directly towards Gulitai.

Whining~

Just when everyone thought that Cao Xiaojun was going to die, suddenly a horse cry sounded, and the next moment a red-maned horse with miscellaneous hair blocked Cao Xiaojun.

And the off-string arrow of Gulitai shot directly on the horse's leg, and the red-maned horse neighed in pain, but its body did not move, blocking Cao Xiaojun to death.

"Little Red!"

Seeing the red-maned horse that blocked an arrow for him, Cao Xiaojun's eyes were red, isn't this his own mount, Xiaohong?

At this moment, Cao Xiaojun was inexplicably moved, he didn't expect that the last thing that saved his life was the war horse he raised, no wonder when he joined the cavalry squad on the first day, the squad leader said to himself that in the cavalry class, in addition to his comrades, the best thing with himself is the war horse.

The war horse must be good, they all have spirituality, if they are sincere to it, they may be able to save their lives on the battlefield, so in the cavalry class, everyone calls their war horses brothers.

At first, Cao Xiaojun didn't understand, but at this moment, Cao Xiaojun seemed to understand the squad leader's words all of a sudden, and the war horse was really his best brother.

Thinking of this, Cao Xiaojun was inexplicably moved, and Xiaohong was shot in her right leg at this time, and she could only stand on three legs, but even so, Xiaohong still stood in front of Cao Xiaojun.

When Gulitai saw this scene, he was immediately furious, but he was helpless, this variegated red-maned horse used his body to block Cao Xiaojun tightly, even if he was superb in archery, he couldn't let the bow and arrow turn.

The bow and arrow could not be bent, and his threat to him was almost zero, and at this time, the cavalry of the Han people also rushed up, and Gulitai sighed and said, "Withdraw."

Jiannu is brave, but bravery does not mean stupid, this is obviously impossible, don't run again, wait to be surrounded by a hundred cavalry of the other party?

And they came out this time to hunt down the invaders, and now the goal has failed, and since it has failed, there is no value in continuing, and people can't do things that have no value.

Gulitai ran away with the Jiannu cavalry, and the commander of the Lantian cavalry company did not go up, the purpose of their cavalry company was to rescue the lone cavalry scouts, not to attack the *** cavalry.

We met just now, the charge was for rescue, and now the people have run away, if they continue to pursue, this is not the scope of their task, and there is likely to be a large battalion nearby, just the hundred cavalry in his hand, if they go up, they are led by the other party to the other party's camp, or within the ambush circle, and the whole army will not be able to run.

This kind of thing has not happened before, Wang Guixiang's cavalry regiment has lost many members over the years, and there are several cases of being wiped out by the enemy with men and horses like this.

Later, they were all severely criticized by the brigade commander.

And the brigade commander was so angry at the time that he even let out that those brothers who died in impulse were not considered martyrs.

Of course, when it comes to talking about it, when the martyrs are evaluated in the end, there is no one less.

But this incident was also criticized by the cavalry brigade as a negative example, and the brigade commander said at the time: "Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, especially in this stopper, fighting with ***, fighting with the Mongols, fighting with the Wusi Tibetans, and you need to control your emotions, if you can't even control your emotions, then you will go back to Lantian and allow you to make mistakes there, but not allow them here, because a small mistake you make at will may bring the death of countless comrades."

The cavalry company commander jumped off his horse with someone and helped Cao Xiaojun on the ground, and when he saw that Cao Xiaojun was seriously injured, he said, "Which unit is my brother, where did those *** come from, why are you chasing you."

Cao Xiaojun's face was pale due to excessive blood loss at this time, and he looked at the cavalry company commander and said, "I am the scout cavalry of Li Dingguo's cavalry regiment, and today our squad found a *** transfer station behind a dirt hillside thirty miles away from the reed bank in the lower reaches of the Huai River."

"*** Transit Station!"

Hearing this, the cavalry company commander's eyes lit up and said, "Really, you can't be mistaken."

Cao Xiaojun shook his head and said, "You can't be mistaken, what one of our squads saw with our own eyes, there are two-meter-high grain stacks there, as well as a large number of cattle and sheep, which is obviously a logistics supply area."

Hearing this, the cavalry company commander's eyes brightened, and he followed Cao Xiaojun and said, "What about the rest of your class?"

Cao Xiaojun couldn't help but cry bitterly when he heard this: "In order to cover me, they stayed to resist ***, and now that I think about it, I have already sacrificed."

Thinking of Cao Xiaojun's cry, looking at Cao Xiaojun's appearance, the cavalry company commander, his eyes were also moist, he felt the same way, and then patted Cao Xiaojun's shoulder and said, "Okay, you are all good."

After saying this, the cavalry company commander said: "Wang Wude, you take ten people to escort this little brother back to the cavalry regiment of Commander Li Dingguo, inform Commander Li of the news, and the rest of the people will go with me, let's bring back the corpses of the Lantian brothers, and we can't let them be violent corpses in the grassland."

"Yes."

Hearing this, Wang Wude immediately ordered one of his own squad and took Cao Xiaojun to Li Dingguo's station.

The cavalry company commander led his men and horses to follow the direction of Cao Xiaojun's guidance to find the bodies of Lantian soldiers who died on the grassland.

The soul returned to his hometown, this is what Lantian died in battle

The treatment that a hero deserves.

Of course, even if the body is recovered, it must be done according to its ability, such as the place where the squad leader died in battle, not far from here, and there is no *** ambush, so he dares to rush over.

As for Xiao Wu, who was close to being killed by Gulitai at the *** transit station, the cavalry company was not ready to go, and to collect the remains of such martyrs, it was necessary to send out a large army.

Cao Xiaojun was soon escorted to Li Dingguo's station, which was in the middle of the Huai River, at which point Cao Xiaojun was escorted to the barracks.

The military doctor in the army immediately gave treatment, Cao Xiaojun's injury was very serious, and Gu Litai's arrow almost pierced Cao Xiaojun's shoulder blade, and now he needs surgery to remove the bow and arrow, otherwise after a long time, Cao Xiaojun's arm will be useless.

Before the operation, Cao Xiaojun reported the intelligence to Li Dingguo, and Li Dingguo listened to Cao Xiaojun's report, especially when he heard that Cao Xiaojun's soldiers in a squad passed on the information in order to protect him, and they actually delayed time with their lives, Li Dingguo was stunned on the spot for a long time.

This touched Li Dingguo very much, as a rogue Li Dingguo, life and death have long been accustomed to it, but this spirit of being willing to die for the sake of intelligence and comrades-in-arms still makes Li Dingguo unable to let go for a long time.

Wang Jiadong saw Li Dingguo's abnormality, so he asked the surrounding soldiers to prepare, the army was about to start, followed by Li Dingguo, looked at Li Dingguo and said, "What's the matter, Dingguo?"

Li Dingguo looked at Wang Jiadong at this time and said, "Jiadong, I now understand a little bit why Lantian is so terrifying."

Wang Jiadong did not interrupt Li Dingguo's words, Li Dingguo said at this time: "Jiadong, I always thought that the strength of the Lantian army was mainly due to powerful firearms, if there were no firearms, these young master soldiers living in a superior life would definitely have no combat effectiveness, and they would not be able to defeat the righteous army who dared to fight hard for stuttering."

"But today I feel like I was wrong."

Li Dingguo looked at Wang Jiadong and said, Wang Jiadong heard this and looked at Li Dingguo and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Dingguo said: "Lantian is powerful, maybe firearms are a part, but his real strength is the people's hearts, this is something that does not understand if you don't join Lantian and don't go deep into Lantian Army."

"When we were the rebels, we didn't have any family and country righteousness in our minds, and we only had one goal in our hearts to eat enough, so when we captured the state capital and got food, we had enough to eat, and we lost the spirit of desperateness, and the army's combat effectiveness slipped directly to the bottom, resulting in the entire rebel army basically having no combat effectiveness."

"So some people will say that the combat effectiveness of our rebel army fluctuates greatly, fighting against the wind, invincible, and fighting against the wind is a group of sheep, the reason is also very simple, the battle with the wind, if you win, you can grab more good things if you rush to the front, and if you fight against the wind, you will run slowly, and you will die by yourself."

"Therefore, our so-called rebel army is just a group of thieves who only have themselves."

Li Dingguo said here and said with a wry smile: "On the contrary, looking at Lantian again, before I joined the Lantian army, I didn't expect the Lantian army to be so terrifying."

"Lantian army is not independent in Lantian , in Li Chaosheng's words, the Lantian army is the people's army, I didn't understand before, I thought Li Chaosheng was just shouting slogans, but now I know that Lantian army is the people."

"Li Chaosheng, worthy of being a hero, a hero who can govern the world, he will govern Lantian to govern the things of the people of Fu, and then let the people of Lantian become soldiers, the people of Lantian want to protect the land, houses, and food they own in Lantian, they have to fight with the forces that want to be unfavorable to Lantian, and the primitive power to protect their own things is much greater than the original motivation of robbing and getting rich, people may not be jealous of other people's wealth, but they will never allow their own things to be lost."

"Therefore, some people pay attention to Lantian when they fight, the Lantian army is really playing with their lives."

"And Li Chaosheng's personal charm is too strong, the entire Lantian people are grateful for Li Chaosheng's goodness, plus Lantian has a special organization to praise Li Chaosheng, and now Li Chaosheng's county is respected in the eyes of Lantian people, it is similar to a fairy, and Lantian people are willing to die for Li Chaosheng."

"Gradually, this admiration for Li Chaosheng began to translate into a social atmosphere, and in the army it was the spirit of sacrifice and dedication, when I first joined the army

Later, he also disdained the political lessons that the army had to conduct every night, thinking that this was, but now it seems that no, this is a superb method that I can't understand, he makes the Lantian people extremely united, and he makes the Lantian people not afraid of life and death, and is willing to sacrifice and dedicate."

"The cavalry squad is the best performance, amazing, just amazing."

Li Dingguo said excitedly, and only spoke again after a long time: "Such a Lantian, even if there is no powerful firearm, still uses a primitive blade, the so-called rebel army is definitely not their opponent, and *** will not be their opponent, not to mention that Lantian still attaches so much importance to science and technology, technology, coupled with the invincible will to fight, Lantian is invincible, this world should be his Li Chaosheng."
