Geng Zhanghua was secretly upset at this time.

To be honest, the gap between reality and ideal is quite big.

He devoted himself to killing slaves, but as a new brother on the battlefield, he could no longer calm down when he faced his first fight.

He was obviously trying hard to overcome the fear of killing an enemy for the first time, but unfortunately he still felt that his hands were shaking and the bowstring was not fully drawn.

The arrows shot were not only weak and weak, but also not even accurate.

During the charge, he was blocked in front by Geng Da and Geng Qi, causing him to be at the end of the line, so that his sword was not stained with blood at all.

Geng Qi was so happy after the fight. He was still in a state of excitement until now.

That was when he charged and shot two arrows in a row, both of which accurately hit the Hou Jin Army.

He was also shot with an arrow, but because he was protected by three layers of iron armor, leather armor, and cotton armor, the feathered arrow stuck straight into his body and happened to miss his flesh.

Next, he wielded the ghost-headed sword and directly split the head of Yu Ding, a Hou Jinjun soldier, in half.

Relatively speaking, Geng Da was not as lucky as Geng Qi. He shot two arrows, one hit Jiannu but did not cause the Jiannu to fall, and the other one missed.

When he rushed forward with his pear gun, he found that Hou Jinjun was nowhere to be found alive.

At this time, he was full of fighting spirit. When he saw that Jiannu did not pursue him and retreated, he cursed angrily:

"Every Jiannu is a coward! We only have a few men and they don't dare to chase us."

Geng Qi said: "Bah! Damn those Jurchens, they are a bunch of eggless cowards!"

Huang Yi took the opportunity to say: "Have you seen it? The Jiannu and the Tatars are actually cowards who bully the weak and fear the strong. We killed more than ten or twenty people but they didn't dare to retaliate and ran away!

But can we let them escape? "

Huang Dazhi and Huang Dayong immediately joined in the fun and loudly said: "No!"

Huang Yi continued: "We have already tried out the post-Jin army, which is actually not very good, so we have to follow up and continue to fight cheaply. Yang Shihu, if you have any objections, please speak up immediately!"

At this time, Yang Shihu's mentality was completely different. Although he had been a soldier for many years, he had never fought against the Jiannu, but he often heard how good the Jurchen cavalry was.

The three men became tigers, which caused Yang Shihu, who was skilled in bow and horse, to lose his self-confidence. He really thought that all the Jin troops in the future were like wolves and tigers.

Today he finally had a battle with the Jurchen soldiers of Houjin, and only then did he realize that the legendary "invincible bow and horse" was nothing!

He can responsibly declare that during the raid, he shot and killed an enemy and killed an enemy together with one of Mr. Huang's men.

At this moment, his self-confidence was overwhelming. He felt that with his riding and shooting skills, he would definitely be able to kill Jiannu Vest one on one, and he might not be defeated in a battle with the legendary Jiannu Bagala.

Seeing that Huang Yi thought he had objections again, Yang Shihu immediately said loudly:

"Reporting to your lord, I will obey the order resolutely. In fact, I think that if the lord just concentrated all his strength and rushed over to fight the chasing Jiannu, he would definitely be able to kill all those beasts!"

It seems that winning the battle without casualties is more educational than preaching a hundred times!

This Yang Shihu's attitude is simply a 180-degree turn!

Huang Yi laughed deliberately and said: "I didn't know that if we all rushed up to kill those dozens of slaves, we would definitely win."

Yang Shihu asked in confusion: "Then why didn't your Excellency give the order to attack?"

"In order to win with minimal casualties or even zero casualties. We are not afraid of death, but we must die well-deserved! Never make unnecessary sacrifices!"

Huang Yi looked at Zhi, Yong, Shuang, Quan, Zhang Dong, Hu Xiaochuan, etc., and saw that they were listening carefully. He felt that the speech at this time must be more memorable than the one in class, so he decided to say more.

He said: "The total number of enemies is much greater than ours. If we find that we can't swallow it in one breath, let's show some patience. Wouldn't it be better to divide it into two or three times?

Every time, they form a two-on-one or three-on-one advantageous force. Why do we have to confront them one-on-one?

The most important thing for a general is to assess the situation and seize local advantages. If you don’t have the advantage, then choose the right time to create the local advantage..."

Huang Yi explained it in simple terms without making a long speech. He only spoke for five minutes.

Huang Dazhi, Zhang Dong and other young men listened with great interest, and even Geng Zhanghua nodded repeatedly.

Yang Shihu, Liu Chuanzong, Geng Da, and Geng Qi were all in admiration.

Geng Zhanghua raised his hand to speak and said: "We have succeeded once. We estimate that we killed ten or twenty Houjin troops. The enemy must have taken precautions after suffering a big loss. I'm afraid it won't be easy to do it again."

Huang Yi said: "The enemy's baggage is too heavy and the marching speed is too slow. It will take at least ten days to get out of this vast mountain.

We act according to the situation and try to play tricks with them so that they can't guard against them! "

"Sir, you must have already thought about how to fight next?"

"I have a plan in mind, but I have to get close to the enemy again and observe carefully before making a decision!"

Huang Yisheng was not arrogant and was still cautious, which made Geng Zhanghua trust him even more. He said sincerely: "My lord, you are a really good general!"

Seeing that no one said anything, Huang Yi looked at him with sharp eyes and gave an order: "Everyone is here, go east!"

A group of men, including Geng Zhanghua, immediately agreed in unison: "Yes!"

The forty-one cavalry embarked on the journey again with high spirits!

There is no need to consider morale at this moment, everyone has the murderous intention to swallow thousands of miles like a tiger!

Even so, Huang Yi was still cautious and refused to be careless. He still took the lead in climbing up to search before deciding on the marching route.

Soldiers are crafty and cannot be taken for granted, they must be done personally and with extreme caution!

What Huang Yi did, Zhi, Yong, Shuang, Quan, Zhang Dong, Bi Daxi, etc. all saw it, which was of great benefit to their character development.

It was an eye-opener for the two veterans, Yang Shihu and Liu Chuanzong. They had been in the army for many years and had seen many military attaches, but they had never seen Huang Yi like this.

Geng Da followed Geng Ruqi for more than ten years, starting from a boy in the nursing home and working his way up to the head of the servants.

Witnessed Geng Ruqi's rise from the seventh-rank sesame official to the third-rank official of the frontier.

He had seen a lot of civil and military officers, but he had never seen an official like Huang Yi who was versatile in both civil and military affairs and was full of wit. He could not only charge and kill personally, but also eat and sleep with his subordinates.

He sincerely felt that if Huang Yi had been a general under Geng Ruchi, there would be no chance that Geng Ruchi would be imprisoned because his army collapsed.

After setting off on the road, Geng Da approached Geng Zhanghua and whispered: "Master Huang, it's great that you can use this talent for me!"

"Yeah! I think so too. This opportunity is rare. We must get along well with him."

"After the Jin army has reached the capital, the court is in urgent need of strong troops and good generals. The military attachés in the future should be able to get the attention of the court. It is possible that the young master abandons civil and military affairs and his wife no longer objects."

"Well! If you suffer a loss and gain wisdom, your father and mother must have different opinions."
