Xue Ding looked at his son's embarrassed appearance without getting angry, and said with a smile: "Kail, even if I take action as a father, I may not be able to get benefits from these people. It is reasonable that you are not an opponent. You I still need to practice hard in martial arts in the future.”
Xue Kai calmed down and stood up, nodded and said, "Yes, father, Miss Jiang is indeed a master of the Xinghe Sect. I am convinced that I lost."
Jiang Huaishi smiled lively, held his stomach and said: "General, the fight is over. Let's start dinner."
Xue Ding stood up with a cheerful look and said, "You little girl is really to my liking. Let's go and have dinner."
He walked up to Xue Kai, patted Xue Kai's shoulder and said, "Kail, it doesn't matter if we can't fight. Please behave for me later and keep these young people from Xinghe Sect with me. We won't go home until we get drunk!"
Xue Kai finally smiled. He was very confident in his ability to drink.
Tang Jinge pondered for a moment and said: "Although drinking is strictly prohibited in Xinghen Longjia camp, we cannot let down the general's kindness today, so we will make an exception."
In the backyard of the General's Mansion, Xue Ding ordered people to prepare a rich dinner and fine wine. The generals from Xinghen Longjia Battalion and Ningguan City gathered together, exchanging cups and cups, and it was very lively.
After the disastrous defeat in the battle with Jiang Huaishi, Xue Kai put away his contempt and decided to make friends with Tang Jinge and others. They were all masters and naturally drank well. The atmosphere of the banquet was lively, but Jiang Huaishi was nowhere to be seen.
At the beginning of the banquet, Jiang Huaishi boldly competed with Xue Kai for wine, insisting on defeating Xue Kai at the wine table. Unexpectedly, he got drunk not long after drinking, fell asleep on the table, and was raped by Longjia Yingpao. Take a ride back to your room and rest.
Fighting and drinking can best enhance the friendship between men. After a banquet, the relationship between Ningguancheng soldiers and Xinghe Sect disciples became much harmonious.
Three days later, Xue Kai was called to the general's residence by Xue Ding early in the morning.
Xue Kai saw his father looking at the sand table with a serious expression, and asked doubtfully: "Father, what happened? Summon the child early in the morning."
Xue Ding pointed to a place on the sand table and said: "Last night, several patrol teams in Songhanling were attacked by Beichu people, and dozens of brothers were killed."
Xue Kai frowned and said angrily: "Damn it, damn Beichu people, they have only been honest for a few days, and they are starting to stir up trouble again."
Xue Ding ignored Xue Kai's scolding, and pointed to a place on the sand table not far from Songhan Ridge and said: "The scouts reported that this sneak attack of the Northern Chu army should have gone in the direction of Xueluoling, which is not far from Ningguan City. Yuan, my father wants you to lead a team of cavalry to catch them all."
Xue Kai clenched his fists and said excitedly: "Father, just leave it to me and you can rest assured. How many people are there on the other side?"
Xue Ding held out five fingers and said: "About five hundred cavalry. According to the soldiers who escaped, these guys are not very elite. It was just relying on the strength of numbers and sneak attacks that the patrol team suffered such losses."
Xue Kaisenran smiled and said: "That kid will also receive five hundred Ningguan Qingqi, and he will definitely be able to eat them all."
Xue Ding hesitated and said: "As a father, I always feel that this matter is not that simple. You should bring more people."
Xue Kai said with a bit of disdain: "A mere five hundred soldiers, not Yingzhou Snow Leopard Cavalry and Snow Ape Armored Soldiers, can make big waves."
Xue Ding still had an uneasy expression on his face, and Xue Kailang said loudly: "Father, just wait for the good news about the child. If these bastards from Bei Chu dare to sneak attack our Ningguan Army, they will all be left behind." When I realize this, I will organize my troops and go out to fight."
Seeing Xue Kai's heroic appearance, Xue Ding had no choice but to wave him away.
After Xue Kai left, Xue Ding became more and more uneasy as he thought about it, so he sent someone to call Tang Jinge over.
After Tang Jinge saw Xue Ding, he bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Tang Jinge pays homage to the general. I wonder why the general called you down."
Xue Ding told Tang Jinge the causes and consequences of Xue Kai's troops. Tang Jinge frowned and said, "General, I think this matter is not that simple. Brother Xue Kai may be in danger if he goes here."
Seeing that Tang Jinge said the same thing, Xue Ding's face became more solemn and he said: "Jinge, the Longjia Battalion has been in Ningguan City for a few days and has not really taken action yet. I hope you can take the whole battalion to follow Xue Kai. It's best if nothing happens." Okay, if anything happens, just rescue Xue Kai and the others."
Tang Jinge cupped his hands and said: "We, the Longjia Battalion, came to Ningguan City to support the general. We will be at the mercy of the general."
Xue Ding smiled with satisfaction and said: "Okay, Xue Kai should have already set off, and Longjia Camp can set off."
"Yes!" Tang Jinge took the order and left.
A wise son is like a father. Just as Xue Ding expected, in order to fear that the five hundred enemy troops he had obtained would escape, Xue Kai ordered five hundred fine cavalry to follow him out of the city in the shortest possible time.
Tang Jinge was even more swift. He arrived at the Xinghen Dragon Armor Battalion and gave an order. All the members of the Dragon Armor Battalion were assembled. Their movements were almost uniform, and their well-trained skills were amazing.
Although there is no trace of Xue Kai, knowing Xue Kai's destination and Xue Kai has not been away for long, it is not difficult for the Longjia Battalion cavalry to catch up with him.
At this time, Xue Kai was rushing at the front of the cavalry team, with five hundred cavalry rushing towards Xueluoling.
While he was marching, he suddenly raised an arm, which was an action to signal that there was someone in the team.
The cavalry behind him saw no trace of the enemy, so they tightened their ropes and stopped their horses. The cavalry looked at Xue Kai with puzzled faces.
Xue Kai said with a solemn expression: "Everyone, be ready for battle. There are cavalry following behind you. The entire army is on alert!"
The five hundred cavalry immediately took action, posing backwards, ready to charge at any time, but when the opponent came into Xue Kai's sight, Xue Kai's tense expression relaxed.
Seeing everyone in the Xinghen Dragon Armor Battalion stop in front of him, Xue Kai turned over and dismounted, walked up to Tang Jinge and said with a smile: "Brother Jinge, where are you going?"
When Tang Jinge saw Xue Kai approaching, he also got off his white tiger mount, cupped his hands and said: "Brother Xue, the general is worried that there will be a conspiracy in Bei Chu, so he specially ordered me, Longjia Battalion, to come and kill the enemy with Brother Xue."
Xue Kai suddenly felt unhappy when he heard this, and said with a slumped face: "My father is too suspicious. Aren't they just hundreds of Beichu cavalry? They sneaked here just to kill a few of us boys and go back to exchange for war merit. It's already a normal thing. , I can take them down with these five hundred Ningguan Qingqi, which is more than enough, but I also need to dispatch the brothers from the Longjia Battalion, which is really making a fuss out of a molehill."
Tang Jinge said with a solemn expression: "Brother Xue, I also feel that something is fishy. Be careful and make no big mistake. Let me, Longjia Battalion, go with you."
Xue Kai pursed his lips and touched his chin, thinking for a moment and said: "There is no problem in going together, but if the enemy is really a ragtag group, I hope the brothers from the Longjia Battalion will not take action and let us deal with them."
Tang Jinge said calmly: "No problem, the general ordered us to come here to follow Brother Xue. Of course we must obey Brother Xue. Until the critical moment, our Longjia Battalion will not take action and hold down Brother Xue's battle from behind."
Xue Kai then smiled heartily and said: "That's very good. With the Dragon Armor Battalion holding the battle, we can fight with peace of mind."
He walked to his horse, got on his horse, raised his arms and shouted: "My sons, follow me into battle to kill the enemy!" Then he slapped the horse's butt, and the horse neighed and galloped forward.
Five hundred Ningguan Qingqi also shouted the word "kill" and continued to advance with Xue Kai, raising a large amount of dust.
The dust had dissipated, but Tang Jinge still didn't move. After a long time, he made a gesture to move forward. The Star Trace Dragon Armor Battalion fell far behind Ningguan Qingqi, advancing unhurriedly.
Snowfall Ridge.
Ten Ningguan soldiers in charge of patrol cautiously advanced on the path. They were one of the many teams out on patrol.
Because there are many mountains and complex terrain on the border between Taichu and Beichu, although there is no war between the two sides, there is constant friction. If you are not careful, the other side will seize the opportunity to attack. Therefore, both sides will patrol the areas under their control to avoid being touched by the other side. Come and attack.
Because of this, these patrol teams are extremely prone to accidents, and most conflicts between the two sides are caused by killing the other patrol team.
This kind of fighting is not just because of hatred, but more to keep the soldiers fighting. This is what the generals of both sides want to see. Although no one will admit it, it can be said that this is a cruel but useful way of training soldiers. .
Compared with the cruel war, this kind of conflict can only be regarded as child's play.
When hundreds of cavalry appeared in front of the patrolling soldiers, the squad leader shouted loudly: "Spread out and run!"
Of course, no one would be polite at this critical moment of life and death. The ten people dispersed to the rear, and the hundreds of Northern Chu troops separated and dozens of cavalry rushed to kill several of them.
How could two legs outrun four legs? The seven soldiers who fled to both sides of the rear were quickly overtaken and killed. However, the three team leaders who fled on the road were stronger and drew their swords to fight back after being overtaken. , although he has not been killed yet, he cannot resist for long.
Suddenly, the rapid sound of horse hooves came from behind them, and the sound became more and more majestic from far away.
"Boys, the bastards from Beichu are right in front, kill them!" came a young but very majestic voice.
"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"
Countless kill words sounded at the same time, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
The remaining three patrol soldiers were overjoyed. They actually saw Ningguan Qingqi, which was their own army. A feeling of surviving a disaster lingered in the hearts of the three of them.
The Ningguan Qingqi were really powerful. With one charge, they killed all the dozen or so cavalry who came to rob and kill three people.
As expected, these dozen cavalrymen were not the elite of Northern Chu as the intelligence said. Xue Kai was determined and commanded the Ningguan cavalry to continue charging, hoping to directly overwhelm the opponent's formation in one go.
When the Northern Chu cavalry saw hundreds of cavalry appearing in Taichu, they killed more than a dozen of their own soldiers in one encounter. Of course, they couldn't hold back. A guy who looked like a general shouted loudly, and the Northern Chu cavalry also began to charge. The two teams Cavalrymen of similar numbers collided together, and a battle was imminent.
The dozen or so Northern Chu cavalrymen who charged at the front almost lost their lives when they collided with the Ningguan Qingqiu. Seeing this, Xue Kai became even more disdainful of this group of Northern Chu cavalrymen and casually killed one of the cavalrymen.
As time went by, the Beichu cavalry suffered heavy losses, and the general-looking guy shouted: "Retreat!"
The Beichuan cavalry retreated like a tide. Although it was chaotic, it was very fast. The cavalry can be described as a great victory.
