After declaring war on Dongxia, Li Boqian summoned two people, one was Longyan Division, the head of Qingyan Hall, and the other was Chen Yaoguang, the headmaster of Xinghe Sect.
The conversation with Longyan Division was very simple. Li Boqian asked most of the Qingyantang masters to go to the border of Dongxia to help Marshal Lin Chuhe go south to attack Dongxia. Longyan Division readily agreed.
It was not that easy to invite Chen Yaoguang. After sending someone to invite him, Chen Yaoguang arrived late several days later.
Li Boqian talked alone with Chen Yaoguang in the imperial study.
The first thing Chen Yaoguang said when he saw Li Boqian was: "We, the Xinghe Sect, oppose your Majesty's expedition to Eastern Xia!"
The two people talked for a long time in the imperial study room, with violent quarrels heard from time to time in the closed door, and finally Chen Yaoguang left reluctantly.
The result of Chen Yaoguang's face-to-face meeting was that the Xinghen Longjia Battalion went to the border of Dongxia and joined Marshal Lin Chuhe in going south to conquer Dongxia!
Tang Jinge, who was still stationed in Ningguan City at this time, took a few days to receive the sect's transfer order. After receiving the news, Xinghen Longjia Battalion was not in a hurry to prepare and set off. After saying goodbye to Ningguan guard Xue Ding, Xue Ding A grand farewell banquet was held for them, and Tang Jinge and others did not refuse.
Because the Xinghe Sect's transfer order is very interesting. It does not require the Xinghen Dragon Armor Battalion to set off immediately, but asks them to set off after they are fully prepared.
Tang Jinge naturally understood the sect's intention, and it would be a day as long as he could delay it.
After the Longjia Battalion sacrificed two Paoze in the first battle, after the baptism of actual combat, its combat power has improved a lot again, and it has not been in danger like the first battle. In the past few months, there have been only two in the battle with Beichu. The Longjia Battalion cavalry was seriously injured and was sent back to the Galaxy Sect to recuperate.
The Xinghen Dragon Armor Battalion has made great achievements on the border of Beichu in the past few months. In every battle, it is like a magic weapon inserted into the enemy army. Whether it is ordinary soldiers or snow ape soldiers in the Beichu army, , the elite Snow Leopard Cavalry were all beaten back by the Longjia Battalion. With the help of the Longjia Battalion, the Ningguan defenders gained the upper hand in the confrontation.
It was precisely because of this that Emperor Taichu saw how powerful the Longjia Battalion was, and this led to the decision to mobilize the Longjia Battalion to go south.
If Xue Ding hadn't placed 100,000 Qinghe troops in Shoubei City, fifty miles southwest of Ningguan City, Taichu's combat power would have been even stronger.
Since the Qinghe reinforcements were sent to the northern border, Xue Ding placed them in Shoubei City and did not direct them to participate in even a single battle. The Qinghe army was just shelved with no room for development. Xue Ding even deployed outside Shoubei City. There were a large number of scouts, always paying attention to the movements of the Qinghe army.
From the beginning to the end, Xue Ding never trusted the Qinghe people. He even regarded the Qinghe people as a potential threat.
The Qing and the army were very dissatisfied with this and repeatedly asked Qing Yantang to report Emperor Taichu to him. However, every time the Emperor's accusations were dealt with by Xue Ding.
The banquet to bid farewell to Longjia Battalion was very warm. After several months of fighting side by side, a strong friendship was established between the Ningguan garrison and Longjia Battalion.
While pushing cups and changing cups, Xue Kai hugged Tang Jinge's shoulders and said with a reluctant expression: "Brother Jinge, I didn't expect you to leave so soon. It's so happy to fight side by side with you. If it weren't for you, my wife I’m going to be a widow.”
Tang Jinge smiled and said: "Brother Xue Kai, you and I are both Pao Ze. If a brother is in danger, he will definitely do his best to rescue him."
Xue Kai looked a little embarrassed when he heard this and said: "Even Brother Jin Ge, who is so skilled, is in danger, so he must have died in the battle..."
"Bah, bah, bah, we are about to go on an expedition. If you two say anything unfavorable, once the Longjia Camp comes out, we will be invincible! We will be invincible!" A female voice came from the side, and Jiang Huaishi was seen holding a hand in one hand. A big chicken leg and a large skewer of barbecued meat were held in one hand and came to the two of them with their mouths full of oil.
Today, Jiang Huaishi learned the lesson from the first banquet, just took a few sips of wine, and focused more on eliminating delicious food.
When the two saw Jiang Huaishi's appearance, they looked at each other and smiled. Tang Jinge said, "Huaishi, please wipe your mouth quickly. Don't leave and let the brothers in Ningguancheng laugh at you."
Jiang Huaishi's eyes widened and he said: "Who dares to laugh at me, Xue Kai, is it you? Why don't we make gestures again!"
When Xue Kai heard this, he immediately waved his hands and smiled bitterly: "Auntie, I'm not laughing at you. My old arms and legs can't stand your torment."
Jiang Huaishi said proudly: "It's good to know. Seeing that the delicious food has won my heart today, I'll let you go. I'll have a good discussion with you when I come back victorious."
Although Jiang Huaishi had a tough talk, she secretly wiped her mouth with her sleeve when she left Tang Jinge and the others. Tang Jinge looked at her sloppy look with a doting expression.
There was a trace of worry hidden in Tang Jinge's seemingly normal expression. The sect's order specifically emphasized that this trip was dangerous and told Tang Jinge to be careful.
Tang Jinge looked around at the brothers who had gone through life and death, his expression becoming more solemn.
Some of them are drinking with others, some are using their drinking power to compete with others, some are eating meat desperately, and some are telling some vulgar jokes.
Now that they are full of life and vitality, I don’t know how many people will lose their young lives this time when they go south. Wrapping their bodies in horse leather is not only an honor for soldiers, but also a kind of sadness.
Tang Jinge once again set his sights on Jiang Huaishi. At this time, Jiang Huaishi was chatting side by side with the brothers in Longjia Camp. She had no self-consciousness about being a woman. In terms of popularity in Longjia Camp, Tang Jinge couldn't even catch up with Jiang Huai. poetry.
However, although Jiang Huaishi was very beautiful, all the soldiers treated her with the love of a comrade and rarely had the love of a son or daughter, except of course Tang Jinge.
It was known to everyone in the camp that Tang Jinge liked Jiang Huai's poems. However, as the commander, Tang Jinge had a very high prestige in the Longjia Camp, and no one dared to talk about it.
Tang Jinge, who has a high self-esteem, always runs into obstacles when facing Jiang Huaishi. At this time, thinking of the upcoming tragic war, Tang Jinge was moved in his heart and walked towards Jiang Huaishi.
Jiang Huaishi did not see Tang Jinge and was still chatting and laughing with the robes. However, when the other Longjia battalion soldiers saw the commander coming, they all put aside their smiles and looked at Tang Jinge. Jiang Huaishi saw that the situation was not right, so he turned and looked behind him. After seeing Tang Jinge She frowned and said with dissatisfaction: "Tang Jinge! What trouble are you making? Are you here to show off your power as a leader?"
Tang Jinge spread his hands and said helplessly: "I didn't let them look at me."
Jiang Huaishi pouted and stared, "Get up and drive quickly, don't disturb my aunt's enjoyment."
Tang Jinge adjusted his breathing and said seriously: "Huai Shi, come here, I have something to tell you."
Seeing that Tang Jinge was so serious, Jiang Huaishi's face became serious. He turned back to the soldiers and said, "You guys talk first. The commander wants to talk to me about something serious."
The two left the banquet crowd and came to a pavilion in the backyard of the General's Mansion. There were also soldiers drinking together here. Seeing the commander and deputy commander of Longjia Battalion coming here, they saluted and walked away knowingly. Only the soldiers were left in the pavilion. There are two people, Jin Ge and Jiang Huai Shi, of Tang Dynasty.
Jiang Huaishi asked in confusion: "What's going on? It's mysterious."
Tang Jinge took out the transfer order from his arms and handed it to Jiang Huaishi. He had not shown the transfer order to anyone before, but only took it to announce the news of going south.
Jiang Huaishi took the order and looked at it, his face gradually turned gloomy, and he said: "If the sect feels it is dangerous, how many Pao Ze will die in this trip."
Tang Jinge looked solemn and said: "Huai Shi, when you persuaded me that no one would die in a war, you were right. What we are about to face is not just a war, but a national war. Even if we face tens of thousands of enemies, It’s a saint who narrowly escaped death without flying into the sky to escape.”
"You and I are both mortals, and Dragon Armor is not invincible. Everyone may die. Even I can't guarantee that I can escape unscathed after this battle."
When Jiang Huaishi heard this, her face became more and more ugly, and her eyes were full of worry. After a moment, she asked: "You called me here just to tell me that this trip is dangerous?"
Tang Jinge shook his head and looked at Jiang Huaishi with affection. He took a deep breath and finally said: "Huaishi, this battle is extremely dangerous. Everyone must be prepared to die on the battlefield. I don't want to stay before leaving. It’s a pity, so I have to tell you today that I like you! I have liked you for a long time!”
Jiang Huaishi was obviously taken aback by Tang Jinge's sudden confession. His expression was extremely exciting. After a long moment of silence, he finally choked out a sentence: "It turns out you weren't joking with me. You are so good, how could you like a man like me?" "
Tang Jinge suddenly stepped forward and hugged Jiang Huaishi, and said with a trembling voice: "I am afraid of being rejected by you, so I can only express my love for you in a joking tone. Today I am not afraid of being rejected by you. On the contrary, I am not afraid of being rejected by you." It’s scarier than never having the chance to say it!”
…
On the second day, because the soldiers of Longjia Camp drank a lot of wine, even Tang Jinge was drunk, so he did not set off.
On the third day, the Xinghen Longjia Battalion, which had packed its bags, was escorted out of Ningguan City by the Ningguan Cavalry. The Ningguan Cavalry lined up in front of the city gate and shouted the word "triumph" under the leadership of General Xue Ding. The Longjia Battalion After saluting the Ningguan garrison, they left Ningguan City in a grand manner.
Xinghen Longjia Camp went all the way south, and when passing by Zidou Mountain, they returned to the sect and stayed for half a day to rest and recuperate.
On the road near Yuyang Valley, three carriages were speeding from south to north. There were men, women, old and young in the carriages. They were obviously traveling as a family.
Yuyang Valley was completely destroyed after the battle between Xinghe Sect and Qingyantang. It is no longer the same as before, and no one comes here for outings anymore, so the area around Yuyang Valley is now somewhat inaccessible.
As the three carriages were moving, several cold arrows suddenly shot over, but they did not hit anyone. Two arrows penetrated the abdomens of the two horses respectively.
The two horses neighed in pain, twisted like crazy, and were about to overturn. Seeing this, the coachman tried his best to stabilize the horses. The other horse was still moving forward, and a pile of broken wood suddenly appeared in front of him. Stones blocked the road, so the coachman could only tighten the reins and stop.
Immediately after the three carriages were forced to stop, dozens of people armed with weapons surrounded them. Each of them had a fierce look, and one could tell at a glance that they were bandits.
Two men, an old man and a young man, got off the carriage. They didn't look like they were from a wealthy family. Seeing the gangsters surrounding them, the man who looked to be in his sixties raised his hands and said respectfully: "Dear gentlemen, my family has been attacked by the government." You have been oppressed and fled here, so please show your noble hand."
At the same time, the old man winked at the middle-aged man next to him. The middle-aged man understood and took out a few taels of silver from his arms and handed it to the bandit who looked like the leader.
The old man continued: "This is a little bit of our thoughts. I invite you all good men to have a drink. Please let me go."
The bandit who looked like a leader took the money and said with disdain: "Where are you sending out beggars?"
He waved to his men and said, "Let me search the car. If anyone resists, I'll kill him directly!"
When the bandits heard this, they immediately stepped forward. The old man hurriedly stepped forward to stop them and said, "Fellow heroes, there are no valuables in the car. They are just some clothes. Please don't get in the car and scare the women and children."
A trace of disgust flashed in the leader's eyes, and he raised his knife to chop at the old man. It was too late for the middle-aged man to stop him. The old man was chopped to the ground in an instant. The wound was deep enough to see the bones, blood was flowing, and blood foam was coming from his mouth. Not alive anymore.
The leader sneered and said: "Noisy!"
The man shouted "Dad" and squatted on the ground to check the old man's condition. When he saw that the old man was not breathing, he got up and rushed to the bandit leader like crazy and yelled: "This is too much! I will fight with you!"
The leader looked disdainfully at the man who rushed up. Just as he was about to draw his sword, he heard a loud noise. The wood and stones blocking the road were smashed to pieces by something, and a group of cavalry rushed over.
This is a very elite-looking cavalry force, with about a hundred people. The leader of the cavalry has a huge, fully armed white tiger on his crotch. It is the Xinghen Dragon Armor Battalion that is on the way.
When the leader saw such a terrifying cavalry, he immediately wanted to escape. He was about to chop the man to death with one knife, but an arrow flying from a distance knocked the knife away. Seeing this, the leader stopped caring about the man. , and quickly signaled his men to evacuate, but it was too late.
Tang Jinge saw the situation at a glance and shouted "Kill!" The cavalry of Longjia Battalion immediately rushed out and killed all the bandits within a moment.
When the man saw the cavalrymen who were like heavenly soldiers and generals for saving their family, he was about to step forward to thank him. Tang Jinge waved to him with a serious expression and gave an order. Everyone in the Longjia Battalion did not stop and continued to gallop south.
Along the way, everyone in Longjia Camp saw too many people suffering, and everyone was worried about the future battle.
