Chapter 80: The Boy Who Got His Edge
........
Five days later, after another big battle, Lu Yan and others were roasting a fire in the camp tent.
Lu Yan was silent, and after a while, he said slowly: "What about our brother's casualties?"
Li Yun replied: "In the past few days, we have fought six times with the Japanese warriors, and we have killed a total of 1,000 and 27 Japanese warriors, 33 brothers have been killed, 50 have been seriously injured, and some have been slightly injured, but on the whole, we have not lost. β
Lu Yan said: "That means that we now have eighty-three brothers who have lost their combat effectiveness. β
Li Yun nodded and said, "Yes." β
Lu Yan pondered for a moment and said: "That is to say, counting us, there are still 1,241 people who can fight now, which is okay, much better than I expected, at the cost of thirty-three dead and fifty seriously injured in exchange for the total annihilation of more than 1,000 warriors of the Japanese Kingdom, it is quite surprising to me." β
Zhou Xuan said lazily: "There is nothing surprising, most of the people we have summoned are knights on the rivers and lakes, it is impossible to say that there is no martial arts in hand, and it would be too embarrassing to deal with a few Japanese warriors if they were still seriously injured." β
Wu Zilin said: "But the problem now is that those Japanese warriors are very hard-mouthed, even if they are captured alive, all kinds of torture are gritting their teeth, and they can't get a word out, how can this be good." β
Lu Yan shook his head and said: "No way, Japanese bushido is a kind of spiritual bondage, which pays attention to the so-called righteousness, bravery, benevolence, courtesy, sincerity, reputation, loyalty, and self-denial. Based on force, if they are not defeated, they will commit suicide and seppuku, although it is quite cruel, but it is indeed much stronger than our country's army, our country's army, not to mention suicide secrets, they don't have the courage to commit suicide at all, the enemy's branch is estimated to be able to scare them into urine, confidential, naturally told by this group of guys who are afraid of death. β
After a pause, he said again: "Brother Xu Kai and Ouyang Hao have gone to inquire about the news, I don't know if they have come back." β
As soon as the words fell, two figures covered in snow and looked a little dusty walked in outside, it was Ouyang Hao and Xu Kai.
Lu Yan said with a smile: "Hehe, I really said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao have arrived, the two of you have worked hard, come and roast the fire." β
Ouyang Hao pounced on the snow on his body, sat down by the oven and said: "A few big brothers, Brother Xu Kai and I inquired about the reality of the front line, and learned that now our country's army is invincible, defeating the Japanese army five times in a row, and completely annihilating more than 20,000 Japanese troops, which has greatly injured the vitality of the Japanese army. β
Hearing this, Lu Yan's eyes lit up, and he said in astonishment: "What's the matter, why has that group of wastes become so powerful, there is no reason for this." β
Li Yun, Wu Zilin and even Zhou Xuan all had their eyes lit up, revealing extremely incredible expressions, because they all knew the incompetence of the group of officers and soldiers on the front line, how could they suddenly become so powerful, and they completely annihilated 20,000 warriors of the Japanese Kingdom, it was really incredible.
Xu Kai explained: " It is said that the original guard was incompetent, and even the Japanese army was not impressed, he thought that the Japanese had always been our vassal state, even if it was a war, he did not dare to go too far, but in the first battle, the Japanese killed more than 1,000 people in our army without dying, and the Japanese army was only a few people injured, not a fatal injury, this matter came out, all the people were angry, asking the guard not to spend so much time drinking, not to ask about the war, but the beast actually sent troops to kill the people, and finally an expressionless boy killed the guard with a hidden weapon, it is said that the young man's secret weapon is fast beyond the limit of human beings, Dozens of meters high from the city wall, the boy just shook his hand and killed the mediocre and incompetent guard, really powerful, after killing the guard, the boy said that he came to lead the soldiers to meet the enemy, a few people were not convinced, was killed by the boy with a secret weapon, under his iron wrist, everyone obeyed, the boy was very powerful, led more than 100 people to defeat the 500 people of the Japanese people, and a few people did not die, as soon as this matter came out, all the people supported him in particular, it was under his leadership that more than 20,000 people were wiped out of the Japanese army, and our army only killed and injured hundreds of people, the strategy is high, the means are strong, I admire itγ β
"Teenager?"
Listening to Xu Kai's narration, Lu Yan and the others were stunned, and then Lu Yan and Li Yun glanced at each other, both of them saw each other's speculations, so Lu Yan asked: "This young man, is he about sixteen or seventeen years old, his back is used to being straight, and in his breath and eyes, there is a sense of anger, as if in addition to his appearance, he can't tell that he is a teenager at all, but a wild wolf who has experienced vicissitudes for a long time, and most importantly, his secret weapon is a flying sword the size of a palm?"
Xu Kai was surprised: "How do you know?"
Ouyang Hao, Zhou Xuan, and Wu Zilin were also puzzled, only Lu Yan and Li Yun glanced at each other and nodded.
Lu Yan said: "Do you remember what I told you about the young man who killed the emperor Lao'er who knew how to use a hidden weapon, the young man you said is the young man I said who killed the emperor Lao'er, his secret weapon is fast and ruthless, even I don't have absolute certainty to dodge unscathed when I face to face, let alone the bullshit general who defends the city, but his ability to lead troops is a little unexpected to me." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then Zhou Xuan said with a little surprise: "It's really unexpected to me, a young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old can affect the entire battle situation, in this way, we can go to the north to deal with the people of the Jurchen tribe earlier, hehe." β
Lu Yan also nodded with a smile and said: "That young man, named Flying Sword, is a secret weapon, it can make me feel threatened, you can imagine, Li Yun and I have been in contact with him, although this young man is not very old, but I also admire the enthusiasm and righteousness of serving the country, he has a pure heart, once said that he wants to kill all the mediocre monarchs and kill all the wicked people in the world." But there is a lack of consideration in doing things, and I have told him some truths, that murderers are not necessarily all bad people, and in this kind of world, of course, there are some people who should not be killed but are brutally murdered, but there are many more people who should be killed. However, those who kill must also have the consciousness of being killed, which is the so-called karma. Therefore, in this world, no matter if it is a bad guy or something, the last person who can survive is a person with a strong will to survive. Judging from the current situation, he should have listened to it, what an interesting young man. β
Li Yun smiled and said, "It's okay, since the offensive of this Japanese warrior has stabilized, how about we set off to the north tomorrow morning to deal with the Jurchen tribe?"
Lu Yan nodded and said, "Okay, hehe, that young man has helped us a lot this time, hahahaha." β
Wu Zilin said: "This has fulfilled us, I thought we would have to wait at least a month to be about the same, but now it seems that we are much more convenient, the north is said to have lost a lot of territory, and now it is retreating step by step, it can be said that it is very critical, if we go now, it is also better." β
Zhou Xuan and the others all nodded, the Great Wall line of the Yanshan Mountains in the north is a must-protect area. Successive dynasties of the Central Plains have relied on this line of defense to protect the safety and tranquility of the Central Plains. But since Shi Jingjiao ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Liao State, everything has changed. The Han lost the lifeblood of national defense, and the Song Dynasty, which was subsequently established, had to rely on numerically superior infantry to resist the fierce steppe cavalry. Without the barrier of the Yanshan Mountain Range, these cavalry could gallop on the land of the Central Plains, and the Song Dynasty had no way at all. The nomadic cavalry in the north could reach the banks of the Yellow River in four days, day and night, and directly threatened the heart of the Central Plains Dynasty. Now that the Durian Yanshan Mountain Range is about to be lost, the situation is unprecedentedly serious.
