As the first glimmer of light appeared on the horizon, the atmosphere in the camp became more tense. Li Keyong wore a battle armor and walked among the soldiers. His eyes swept across every soldier, and everyone could feel the faith and strength conveyed by the general.

"Strong warriors," Li Keyong's voice was firm and loud, piercing through the morning fog, "Today, we will face a battle that will determine the fate of the Jin Kingdom. Although the Khitan has many people, they are not invincible. Our strategy, our The unity will become their nightmare."

The soldiers' breath seemed to freeze at this moment, and they were deeply touched by the words of the two generals. A young warrior, with still wet blood on his forehead, couldn't help but speak, his voice hoarse after the battle: "General, sir, we are all willing to sacrifice everything for the Jin Kingdom. I hope our victory today can make More peaceful years ahead.”

Li Keyong looked at the young warrior and nodded. "Young warrior, your wish is the wish of all of us. The peace of Jin is based on your courage and sacrifice. Every drop of your blood and every charge builds a protective barrier for the sons and daughters of Jin. barrier."

Chengze walked towards the young warrior and patted him on the shoulder. "Brave brothers, you and your comrades are the pride of Jin. Your stories will inspire future generations of Jin to keep moving forward, whether in peacetime or in times of war."

On the edge of the battlefield, the soldiers formed a circle, looking through the fatigue of the battlefield to their distant hometown. The words of the two generals seemed to touch the softest parts of their hearts.

"Everyone has a place they love, the land that raised them." Chengze's voice was soft, with a hint of sadness. “Our home is on that land, our families, our friends, and our dreams.”

Li Keyong continued, "Today, you have proved your love for this land with your actions. The courage of each of you has won peace for our homeland."

A soldier closed his eyes gently, his voice almost whispering: "I can feel the river in our village, which is where I played when I was a child. I can hear the sound of water flowing..."

"I miss the cabin in the fields," another soldier continued, "with my father's laughter, my mother's warmth, and the laughter of my brothers and sisters."

"We all miss it," Chengze said affectionately, "but it is precisely because of our nostalgia that we are more determined. In order to protect the peace and tranquility, and to protect our home from the flames of war, we took up arms. "

Li Keyong nodded: "The children of Jin State all have love for their families in their hearts. This love has made you brave. Today, your sacrifice and efforts have ensured that the children in our homeland can live in peace." grow in."

One veteran sighed deeply and said calmly: "General, we are willing to give our future children a world without war. Even if it means that we must face the flames of war now."

"This is why we fight." Li Keyong said firmly, "The sons and daughters of Jin will never forget your courage. Your names will be recorded in history, and your stories will be sung, inspiring generation after generation. Jin people."

The soldiers' eyes reflected the morning light, showing fatigue and pain, but mostly hope and determination for the future. They listened quietly, and everyone had a common vision in their hearts: after the war, Jin could still be as peaceful and peaceful as they remembered.

"The sons and daughters of Jin will remember us." Another soldier said. Although his voice was low, it was full of determination. "Our descendants will proudly say that we protected their future."

"That's it." Li Keyong's eyes showed hope for the future, "The history of Jin is written by heroes, and each of you is writing this history."

Chengze's eyes swept across the faces of the famous soldiers. Each one looked so real and vivid, "Remember, everything we do is for the prosperity of Jin and the freedom and peace of our descendants." happiness."

A gust of morning wind blows, blowing the flag of Jin more vividly, and the shadows of the soldiers stretch out long in the morning sun. It was the first time for many of them to experience such a tragic battle, but their eyes already revealed determination and maturity.

"Let us raise our swords again for Jin, for our families, and for our land!" Chengze shouted loudly, and excited emotions were passed among the soldiers.

The soldiers responded in unison: "For the Jin Kingdom!" Their shouts stirred the surrounding air, forming a powerful resonance. This was their unwavering oath and their unremitting commitment to the future.

"Remember," Li Keyong continued, "there is no retreat on the battlefield, only forward. Only victory can we protect our country!"

"For the family!" a general responded loudly.

"For the Kingdom of Jin!" the soldiers responded in unison, with a voice like thunder.

Chengze was beside him, his heartbeat beating faster and faster with the war drum. "General, my cavalry is ready. We will live up to your trust and deliver a fatal blow to the Khitans when they least expect it."

Li Keyong turned around and looked at Chengze, a glint of admiration flashing in his eyes. "Chengze, you and your cavalry are the sharp swords of our army. I believe in you."

Chengze stood with his chest raised, his voice full of desire to fight. "General, work at sunrise and rest at sunset. Today we will fulfill our mission!"

Li Keyong nodded, then raised the spear in his hand. "Now, let us set off and let the Khitans know that they are not allowed to trample on the land of Jin!"

"Charge!" Following Li Keyong's order, every soldier waved their weapons and shouted loudly, and their morale was high.

The sound of war drums was loud, and the soldiers of Jin State rushed to the battlefield like a tide. Their steps were firm and their eyes were resolute. Everyone was ready to engage in this decisive battle.

On the battlefield, the Khitan cavalry approached quickly like a black storm, their horses breathing hot air as they faced the trenches and traps prepared by Jin.

"Don't be afraid!" A Jin general shouted to encourage morale, "Let them have a taste of our strong bows and crossbows!"

As the order was issued, rounds of arrows were fired from the Jin position. The Khitan cavalry's charge was forced to slow down, and they began to try to bypass the obstacle-filled area.

"Now!" Li Keyong's voice was like thunder on the battlefield, "Infantry phalanx, move forward!"

The strict phalanx of infantry began to advance slowly, their shields pushed forward, and their spears passed between the shields, forming insurmountable steel walls. The blows on the battlefield, every collision, and every shout inspired the courage of the Jin soldiers.

The light cavalry led by Chengze waited patiently, like cheetahs, just waiting for the best opportunity.

The Khitan cavalry tried to break through Jin's defenses, but they failed. As the battle continued, the morale of the Khitan army began to waver.

"Chengze!" Li Keyong saw that the time was right and immediately issued the order.

Chengze immediately took the order. He raised his sword high, encouraged his horses, and led the light cavalry to attack from the flank. "Follow me, brothers!" his voice echoed across the battlefield.

On the battlefield, the morale of the Jin army was like a rainbow, but the Khitan army fell into chaos. The Khitan commander, an experienced general, tried to reorganize the army and reverse the defeat.

"Warriors, assemble!" The Khitan general raised his sword high, trying to stabilize the panicked troops.

"They are just a group of infantry, don't be afraid!" he shouted, trying to boost the morale of the soldiers.

"We are the sons of the Khitan, the wolves of the north, and we will not be intimidated by these sheep!" Another Khitan general roared on his horse.

But the situation on the battlefield is no longer optimistic. The iron wall formation of the Jin army's infantry and the accurate shooting of the ballistae, as well as the unexpected surprise attack by the light cavalry, caused flaws in the Khitan army's formation.

The Khitan cavalry kept trying to regroup and charge, but were blocked every time by the Jin's defense. "Come closer to me! Maintain formation!" a Khitan officer shouted, desperately trying to maintain the battle line.

"Charge! We will not be conquered!" A Khitan warrior roared loudly during the charge, trying to inspire his comrades around him.

However, the light cavalry led by Chengze seemed to be the god of fate himself. Their attacks were precise and deadly, breaking through the Khitan army's flank defenses. The Khitan soldiers began to show signs of disintegration.

"No! Stop! Brothers, don't run away!" The Khitan general shouted desperately when he saw the soldiers beginning to retreat.

But the shouts of the Jin soldiers and the intensity of the battle had broken their courage. The Khitan cavalry fled in panic, and their morale completely collapsed.

Chaos and fear quickly spread in the rear of the Khitan army. A Khitan squadron leader tried to regroup, but no one listened to his orders.

The squadron leader's voice echoed among the wreckage of the battlefield. Behind him was a bleak scene - the Khitan army was routed by the Jin army's fierce counterattack. The war horses whined, the military flags fell to the ground, and the figures of countless warriors were scattered on the devastated grassland. Among the defeated troops, he stood like a lonely monument, remembering the glory and courage of the Khitan people.

"Brothers, we are proud even though we are defeated!" the squadron leader raised his arms and shouted, with an unyielding light shining in his eyes. "We are the descendants of wolves, and we will never show our backs to the enemy even at the last moment!"

His words aroused the last spark in the hearts of the surrounding Khitan soldiers. A young warrior pulled out his sword and thrust it into the ground. Although his voice was hoarse, it was full of power: "Squadron Captain, we are willing to follow you until the end!"

Other soldiers also raised their weapons. Although their eyes revealed exhaustion and pain, they still maintained a glimmer of hope and the will to fight in despair. "We are Khitan people, death cannot make us surrender!"

The squadron leader looked at these loyal soldiers and felt a deep emotion in his heart. "Brothers, today, we may not be able to see the smoke of our hometown again, but we must not let the enemy underestimate our courage. The Khitan people are never alone, because our ancestors and future children all fight side by side with us."

They regrouped in defeat and stood in a row in an almost heroic manner, preparing to face the Jin army's final attack. Their eyes were firm and their formation was compact. Even after a major defeat, they wanted to show the dignity and glory that the Khitans had never lost.

The Jin army looked at the group of heroic opponents in front of them, and even the victors couldn't help but be moved by them. Li Keyong raised his hand to signal his soldiers to stop advancing. "Let them go," he said lowly, "They have shown enough courage and they deserve the respect of a warrior."

Although the squadron leader and his soldiers were defeated, they looked like heroes in ancient inscriptions, recording the indomitable spirit of the Khitan people. Their story, although a narrative of defeat, is also a legend of courage and glory that will be sung by future generations. On this battlefield, what they left behind was not only bloodstains, but also the heroic hymns of the Khitan descendants that will never fade.

A Khitan veteran, the fatigue of having experienced hundreds of battles was evident in his voice, "Child, it's useless! Our horses have fallen down from exhaustion, and we don't even have the strength to retreat."

A young Khitan warrior struggled to regain his footing amid the clash of spears and swords, shouting, "But we can't just give up, we can't let the wolves in the north become cowards!"

"You are not a coward, you are a living warrior!" Another Khitan soldier responded loudly in the rain of arrows, "Only by living can we have a chance for revenge!"

The commander of the Khitan army was on horseback. Facing the scattered troops, his heart was filled with despair and anger. "Everyone listen to my order and retreat! Retreat to the north and save your lives. This battle is irreversible!"

"But General, our brother..." A soldier reported to him the tragic situation on the battlefield.

"The dead are dead, the living are the future." The general replied sadly, and then raised the signal to retreat.

Jin soldiers surrounded and suppressed the remaining enemies with shouts of victory. A Jin general strutted across the battlefield and said to the soldiers: "Look, our enemies are fleeing. This land has witnessed their cowardice."

Chengze stood on the edge of the battlefield, with the enemy's blood still dripping from the tip of his sword. He said to the soldiers beside him: "Let the Khitans go back and tell their king that the Jin Kingdom is not something they can touch easily."

"Our swords are sharp and our hearts are firm." Chengze continued, "Today, we not only defended the border, but also defended the pride of Jin people."

The soldiers gathered around him and shouted: "For Jin!" Their voices merged into a victory hymn that echoed on the battlefield.

Li Keyong observed the battlefield around him, his eyes revealing his satisfaction with the victory, and he slowly rode closer to Chengze. The surrounding soldiers stopped cleaning the battlefield, and their eyes were focused on the two heroes.

"Chengze, your performance today exceeded my expectations." Li Ke said in a deep voice, with admiration in his tone.

Chengze grasped the hilt of the sword tightly, knowing that this was not only a personal recognition of him, but also an affirmation of the heroic performance of his cavalry unit. "General, it is the land of Jin that gives us strength. I just did what a Jin soldier should do."

Li Keyong smiled, his eyes shining with wisdom. "Humility is a virtue, but today, you did more than just 'what you should do'. Your brave command changed the situation of the war, and Jin needs more warriors like you."

Chengze raised his head and looked around at his comrades, who were also an integral part of this victory. "General, I will share this honor with my brothers. It is them, every Jin soldier, who built the high wall of victory with their flesh and blood."

"You're right." Li Ke nodded affirmatively, and turned his eyes to the surrounding soldiers. His voice spread loudly and powerfully throughout the entire battlefield, "Today, everyone breathing on this battlefield is a hero. ! It is your persistence and courage that won this sky for Jin!"

When the soldiers heard the general's words, they had proud smiles on their faces. Many of them had green faces. Today they have grown into real warriors.

"Long live the Jin Dynasty!" a soldier suddenly shouted. This voice was like a trigger point, which immediately triggered a chain reaction.

"Long live the Kingdom of Jin!" The other soldiers responded one after another, and their voices merged into a shocking chorus.

Chengze's eyes were firm and passionate, his voice echoed on the battlefield, and every word was full of power. "General, today's battle is not just a victory, it is a victory for our culture and spirit. We have proved that the children of Jin will never succumb to external oppression."

Li Keyong nodded in agreement, his eyes scanning the tired but proud faces of the soldiers. "You are right, Chengze. Today's victory will become a glorious chapter in our history. Every Jin person will remember this day."

Chengze turned to face the soldiers around him, his voice getting louder and louder. "Brothers, your names and your courage will be engraved on every inch of Jin's land."

The soldiers' eyes sparkled, and their expressions changed from tired to inspired. "Yes, sir!" they replied in unison, raising their weapons to express their oath and determination.

Li Ke rode toward the soldiers, his voice full of inspiring power. "Today, the borders of Jin are indestructible because of you. Every Jin citizen will remember your sacrifice and bravery. At this moment, you are the glory of Jin and the pride of our nation."

A young soldier who had just experienced the test of life and death asked: "General, can we guarantee that the days to come will be peaceful?"

Li Keyong smiled slightly, his voice gentle but firm. "Peace never knocks on the door by itself. It needs warriors to guard it with swords. Just like today, it is you who defend peace."

Chengze continued: "We defended our homeland, but the battle is never limited to the battlefield. We must remember to prepare for war in the name of peace."

The soldiers nodded, understanding this. "We're ready, sir," they said in unison, their voices firm and powerful.

Li Keyong and Chengze exchanged a look of satisfaction, and then both turned their gaze to the distant Jin Kingdom, where smoke was rising, indicating that the daily life of civilians was continuing. They knew that victory was not just a moment on the battlefield, but a guarantee of countless stable days for Jin and its people in the future.

The dust on the battlefield gradually settled, the war drums were silent, but the hearts of the soldiers were still excited. On this day, their deeds will be sung, and the sons and daughters of Jin will remember the names of these heroes and the fearlessness and bravery they showed in defending their homeland and dignity.

In the silence of the battlefield, only a few birdsong broke the silence. The morning glow reflected the figures of the two generals, and their eyes met each other, full of tacit understanding and understanding.

Li Keyong cleared his throat, breaking the brief silence. "Chengze, look at the rising sun, it heralds the future of Jin, bright and bright."

Chengze took a deep breath and felt the warmth brought by the morning glow. "Yes, general, every sunrise means a new beginning. Today's victory will become a new page for the Jin Kingdom."

"Yes, the day of victory always makes people happy." Li Keyong's eyes became far away, as if he was thinking about the greater future, "But we must also remember that behind the victory of every war are countless brave men. The dedication and sacrifice of the children of Jin."

"We will never forget." Chengze responded affirmatively, and added, "We will remember every warrior who fought for the Jin Kingdom. Their names and their stories will be told to every generation of Jin people." The people of the country listen.”

Li Keyong turned his head to look at Chengze, his smile filled with approval. "Chengze, today you have proved that you are not only an outstanding warrior, but also a wise leader. Under your leadership, our army will be invincible."

Chengze responded with a humble smile. "General, I am just doing my best for the sake of Jin. I know that without the wise command of the general, the concerted efforts of my brothers-in-arms, and the support and blessings of the people, I can do nothing."

"This is the reason why Jin is strong." Li Keyong said with certainty, "Our strength comes from the contribution of everyone, from the royal family to the common people, from generals to soldiers, everyone is part of our great country. "

Their conversation came to an end temporarily, and the two generals stood side by side, looking at the soldiers gradually dispersing on the battlefield. Although the bodies of these sons and daughters of Jin are tired, their eyes reveal unyielding and strong strength.

Li Keyong stood upright, his gaze seemed to pass through the rising sun and cast into the more distant future. He took a deep breath of the fresh morning air, and his heart was filled with infinite longing for the future of Jin.

"Look at that flag, Chengze, it represents more than just a symbol of a country." Li Ke said in a sonorous tone, "It is the embodiment of our common beliefs and will, and the symbol of the indomitable spirit of all Jin people. .”

Chengze immediately echoed: "Yes, general. Under the flag, there is no distinction between high and low, regardless of origin. Every one of us Jin people are proud of this flag and feel honored to fight under it."

Li Keyong nodded and looked back at Chengze with a serious look on his face: "Today, we have established victory. But remember, the real challenge lies in how to maintain this victory - how to make Jin more prosperous Prosperity, how to make our people live more peacefully."

Chengze was in awe: "I will keep the general's teachings in mind. I will continue to work hard not only on the battlefield, but also in peacetime to protect our homeland."

"I believe in you." Li Keyong said, "I believe in every Jin person living in this land. It is you who make Jin strong, and it is you who make us not afraid of any enemy."

During the conversation between the two, the soldiers began to gather. Their eyes were also attracted to the flag, and everyone had pride and determination on their faces.

"Let us swear an oath together." Li Keyong called loudly, "Let us swear in the name of Jin to protect this land forever."

"We swear an oath!" the soldiers responded in unison, their voices firm and loud. Witnessed by the rising sun, their oath seemed to spread to every corner along with the sound of the flag waving.

"The glory of the Jin Kingdom will never fade." Chengze tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, with a firm vow in his eyes, "Our descendants will know how their ancestors braved hardships and dangers to defend the land they depend on for survival. land."

Li Ke looked at Chengze with approval, then turned to the assembled soldiers, stretched out his hand and pointed at Xi Wei's Chaoguang. "Come on, let's go back. Our people are waiting to celebrate their heroes."

The sun continued to rise, and the soldiers left the battlefield with firm steps. Their shadows intertwined under the flag, just as their fate was closely linked to the Jin State. This day will forever be etched in the memory of this nation, remembering these battles for freedom.
