Fifty-seven Xu Liao rides a thousand troops

...

When Li Shifang, King Li, was clamoring to go to Dongjiang City to avoid military disasters, Shouchang City, 30 miles away from Pingjing...

“Baga~”

A short and strong Yingnu shouted angrily, and threw the whip in his hand against a civilian from Li Kingdom carrying a stone basket on his shoulder. The civilian screamed and all the people and the stones in the basket fell to the ground, and even accidentally broke his fingers, which hurt so much that he grinned.

"Why are you lazy?" Yingnu pointed to the civilian coolie on the ground and said loudly, "Today, if you can't complete that indicator, I will break your legs. Do you understand? Why don't you hurry up, Baga~"

The cruel eyes scared the coolie of Li Kingdom, and then quickly got up and continued to pick up the ore in the basket and transport it to the carriage...

"What's the matter, what are you yelling at?"

As soon as the Yingnu had threatened the coolie, a loud shout rang in his ear. He immediately stood straight when he heard this, then turned around and immediately lowered his head and bent down, bowing deeply to the direction of the sound.

"Your Excellency, these coolies in Liguo are all lazy. I am teaching them a lesson to speed up the progress..."

Since these Ying slaves decided to serve this conqueror named "Military Governor's Office", they were extremely respectful to them. Whenever a soldier appeared in the army, they would be called "General" to show respect.

Of course, more importantly, the amazing combat power shown by this army is the reason why they truly impressed themselves from their body and mind. Just imagine that they have driven straight from Jeju Beach within a month, crossing more than hundreds of miles as if they were in a state of no one. Now they are thirty miles away from the capital of Li Kingdom. This terrifying and powerful combat power is the only miracle they have seen in their lifetime.

Yingzhou is a country with constant wars everywhere. It has been fighting each other all year round, and even eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. Over time, it has created a martial folk custom. Warriors and ronin from all over the world almost distorted and worshiped the strong. Regardless of whether the strong belongs to their own country, as long as they have the opportunity to be loyal to the strong in their hearts, it feels extremely honorable. For example, now, these roninins and samurai who have been expelled overseas are proud to be this extremely powerful mercenary.

The soldier of "Taozi Camp" nodded after hearing this: "You are right. These people from Li are really lazy and fighting, but General Guo told me not to kill them, so as not to mine and transport supplies, and be careful..."

"Hi ~ I'm sure to obey your wishes!"

The Yingnu responded respectfully, sent the soldier away, and then continued to command the coolies captured by the Li Kingdom in a fierce manner to speed up the journey. These Yingnu, who acted as military inspectors, were quite contemptuous and cruel to the civilians of the Li Kingdom, so naturally they had no good attitude...

Outside Shouchang City, four thousand cavalrymen wearing iron armored horn bows were ready to go, standing next to their mounts, waiting solemnly for their commander to gallop towards Pingjing, ending this trip to Liguo.

As the chief general of this cavalry, Xu Liao was waiting for information on horseback with Guo Tao at this time. There were Kawasaki Hidese and Somoto Ichiro and the Yingzhou arithmetic master Yukio Takashima standing respectfully.

"King Master Kawasaki, I Ichiro Somoto really convinced you. Fortunately, we made the right choice at the beginning and did not go against General Guo and General Xu. Otherwise, the bodies of ten thousand soldiers from the Li Kingdom in Rangcheng would be our fate. Your decision is really admirable!"

What happened this month allowed Ichiro Somoto to fully see the unbearable gap between himself and the Far East Army. At the same time, he was glad that he maintained his restraint and did not go against them. He was full of gratitude to Hidese Kawasaki.

Kawasaki Hidese said softly: "Somoto, have you seen clearly the casualties between this powerful army and the country of Li in the past month? How is it compared with your army?"

Somoto Ichiro said after hearing this: "There is no comparison. In terms of fighting alone, perhaps these warriors in Yingzhou are more powerful than the soldiers of the Heavenly Army, but how easy is it to kill them alone?

Our swords and guns cannot break the exquisite iron armor at all, and they can only rely on martial arts to find the key points. Moreover, their army and troops are all in line to fight, and they will not give you the chance to fight alone. Once the same force fights head-on, one of our 800 people will definitely not be left.

As for those Li people, they are simply miscellaneous fish, with low morale and poor equipment, so they are not qualified to be compared with the army of Guo Ying. Please don’t joke anymore…”

"Well..." Kawasaki Hidese nodded with satisfaction, "So we must follow the steps of the strong and beg them to help us return to our hometown in the future. Now everything will be subject to the orders of the Heavenly Army..."

“Hi ~”

Somoto Ichiro responded in a deep voice, looking at Xu Liao and Guo Tao, his eyes full of admiration...

And the deputy Yuki Takashima calculated silently in his heart: "Twenty to one, during the battle, twenty Li Kingdom soldiers barely replaced the life of a soldier in the Far East. This was the time when I saw the soldiers of Li Kingdom performing the best. By now, 43,278 soldiers of Li Kingdom have been annihilated.

The captives were all used as coolies, and the army has now died 537 people and injured 346 people. Judging from the entire battle, it is simply an incredible number, which is really terrible..."

"Well~"

Just as the three Yingzhou people were still shocked by the terrifying combat power of Jingwei Camp, a horse roar came from a distance, attracting them all over.

"Report~" I saw the horse suddenly pulling the reins when he was dozens of steps away from Guo Tao and Xu Liao. He turned over and jumped off the horse's back and ran to Guo Tao with the help of inertia and bowed, "Report to General Guo and Deputy General Xu, a large number of enemy troops were approaching Shouchang fifteen miles ahead, and his subordinates were probably no less than 8,000 people..."

"Then even if he has ten thousand people..." Guo Tao replied, then waved his hand to signal the horse to retreat, and said to Xu Liao, "Commander Xu, next, you will be able to intercept the enemy halfway. The commander thought that this might be Pingjing's last army. As long as they were eliminated, the Li Kingdom would be almost destroyed..."

When Xu Liao heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes and immediately said to Guo Tao: "Commander Guo, please rest assured. I dare to ask for all the heads of the ten thousand Dongyi barbarians. When I was in charge, I would attack the capital and capture all the kings of Li Kingdom and others alive!"

Guo Tao smiled and glanced at Xu Liao's eyes slightly: "Please give me everything, and I will lead my troops to Pingjing to meet you!"

"good!"

Xu Liao stopped talking nonsense and immediately came to the cavalry formation, turned over and stepped on the white war horse, took the silver spear handed over by his personal soldiers, and was about to order an attack, but suddenly a breeze blew over and was stunned and closed his eyes.

"Brother Bai, are you looking at me in the sky? The rebel army is no longer the army that was despised and used in the past. Brothers have lived well under the command of the General Military Supervisor. Finally, I can no longer run around and be frightened. I know that you want the rebel army to prove that it is an army that fights for the people in your life. Then now I ask you to bless me and bless this army to help the General Military Supervisor to wipe out this troubled times. I will use your silver spear and white horse to justify you..."

Thousands of thoughts flew in a flash. Xu Liao's closed eyes suddenly opened, and he raised his silver spear in his hand at the four thousand cavalrymen, roaring: "Get on the horse and attack!"

"Drink~"

"Drink~"

"Drink~"

The four thousand iron cavalry shouted together, shaking the earth, then stepped onto the war horses, and under the command of Xu Liao, they galloped towards the soldiers of the Li Kingdom ahead. The roar of iron hooves brought yellow sand to the sky and squinted everyone's sight. When the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away and the dust dissipated, the four thousand elite cavalry had disappeared without a trace...

...

In the army formation of the Li Kingdom that came to recover the Shouchang defense line, on the plains only ten miles away from the destination, more than 10,000 people who had been tense of their nerves were marching twenty miles away. Because they did not encounter any danger, they finally couldn't help but relax their vigilance.

"The whole army rested on site for half an hour! After half an hour, they came to the city and wiped out all the bandits who dared to invade our territory. Jie Shi will definitely receive a lot of rewards!"

Li Xien, who replaced Han Zaixue as the vanguard in front of the formation, also breathed a sigh of relief. The battle was imminent, and it was time for the soldiers under his command to maintain their full strength to welcome the next battle.

However, he made a fatal mistake...

"I can finally take a break, eat some dry food. I don't know if there is another meal after this meal..."

The soldiers of Li Kingdom who were sitting down immediately took out the dry food they carried with them and started eating them in big mouthfuls.

The Li Kingdom is located in an extremely cold place in the east, with barren land and extremely low grain output. Of course, the so-called dry food cannot be white flour or something. It is only enjoyed by nobles and royal families. It is extremely precious. Their dry food is all dried vegetable leaves soaked in sea water and mixed with dried rice bran grains. I won’t mention this taste, as long as I can eat enough.

Of course, those who have the conditions will also carry some sweet potatoes and potatoes by themselves. The ones that can be eaten in the army are enough to make others envious. As for jerky meat, even fewer leaders in the army can afford it, let alone these ordinary soldiers. Many of them have not known what meat tastes like for years...

Two soldiers from Li Kingdom sat on the ground, holding a kettle made of bamboo tubes and poured them into their mouths with vegetables soaked in sea water. After chewing for a while, the bitter and slightly salty vegetable leaves began to chat after the belly.

"I really want to go home and try the kelp soup made by my mother. I wonder if I will go back and have another meal..."

"Hey, so do I. I remember the vegetable cake dumplings made by my woman in the first month. She put a piece of seaweed leaves on it. It tastes delicious..."

"Why would we find a chance to surrender at that time. Anyway, we will definitely not beat them, so why bother to die?"

"Worry, don't let people hear it. I think so too. Then we will pretend to be dead together and surrender to the robbers after the war is over, so that we can go home..."

"Okay, just do what you said..."
