I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 602: Gongsun of Liaodong, where to go?
Many people among the Gongsun of Liaodong, at least the White Horse Volunteers who came from their clan, had reason to resent Han Shao.

At the beginning, they followed Han Shao out of the clan land with full of enthusiasm, thinking that Han would lead them to conquer the east and the west and restore the great reputation of Gongsun Bailang and Baima Yicong.

But the reality was that they were poured a bucket of cold water.

In the Battle of Guanjun City, the Crazy Khan Shibi personally led hundreds of thousands of elite troops from the Wuhuan tribe south.

There is no need to explain how brutal that battle was.

But the final result was brilliant.

His reputation as a brave and courageous fighter against the tigers and wolves of Liao became known throughout the world.

But what about their 10,000 White Horse Volunteers?

As soon as the battle started, he was thrown into the edge corner.

They say they are treated as a special force hidden in the dark, but what is the reality?

In the end, they only got a ridiculous mission of "hunting down the remaining enemies".

Damn it!

Play!

What I want is a passionate fight, a fight to the death, and to become famous in one battle!
I'm not here to be a soldier cleaning up the battlefield!

Not to mention the later Northern Expedition, where they pushed all the way to Wang Tinglongcheng and then to the northern expedition to the vast sea. Their Iron Cavalry Wolf Flag had no presence at all.

By the time the war was over, no one in the world even knew that the Gongsun of Liaodong had been involved.

The same thing happened in the next ten years.

They had no right to go south to slap Youzhou Mu Yuan Feng in the face, and the Huang Tian thieves from Qingzhou who followed didn't even get close to them!

No!

Why!
Just because you, Han, are born in the ZhenLiao Army, the ZhenLiao Army was raised by your biological mother.

Were these 10,000 White Horse Volunteers who can fight ten to one on the battlefield just picked up?

Uh, okay!

Even if it was picked up!

Since you picked it up, shouldn't you be responsible?
You picked it up but you are not responsible, what kind of person are you?
you say!

what is this!
……

At this moment, several members of the Gongsun clan, led by Gongsun Xun, were filled with resentment!

Even Qi Shuo, a celestial being of the eighth realm, was shocked.

Even after putting himself in their shoes, Qi Shuo actually felt that the king was a little... well, a little harsh towards their 10,000 White Horse Volunteers.

But he didn't dare say this.

As a vested interest, he didn't even have the standing to speak out about this injustice. He could only look stiff-faced and not know what to say.

The same was true for the veteran staff officers present.

Although they were resentful that someone had deprived them of their original military power due to a disagreement, this was nothing compared to the White Horse Volunteers of the Liaodong Gongsuns...

Well, they still feel lucky.

After all, they have eaten meat and enjoyed the glory they deserved in the past. It’s just that they can no longer stand in front of the stage in the future.

Look at these White Horse Volunteers, haven’t they always been living in the shadows?
Tsk tsk tsk——

Tragic, too tragic!
This is so miserable, we can’t compare to it!
"What are you looking at! Are you fucking laughing at us?"

One of the Gongsun clan members, noticing the sympathetic gazes around him, opened his eyes wide.

A group of veteran generals and staff officers hurriedly smoothed their raised lips and pretended to frown as if thinking hard.

Anyway, they have already gained the benefits, so now they can just endure a little anger from the victims. What's the big deal?

Another thing is that they have all retreated behind the scenes, and what happens next has little to do with them, so they are too lazy to get involved.

They just wanted to keep the peace and stand aside, but several Gongsun clan members who were already filled with resentment did not let them go.

"You guys are so proud of the battles you fought?"

"It's true that there are no heroes in this era, so it's useless for a scoundrel to become famous!"

No!

If you have grievances, go and find the real culprit, Your Majesty, if you have the guts!

What's the big deal about attacking us?
Are you picking on the weak?

It's simply too much!

Immediately, an old veteran frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Those battles we fought have protected the country and the people at home, and all the people of Youzhou have benefited from them! We have also defended the country from foreign enemies, and the whole world respects us!"

"How can I not be proud?"

"Besides! Whether we are heroes or not is up to the world to judge. What does it have to do with you?"

After being criticized like this, the face of the Gongsun clan member who spoke turned red.

"If it weren't for your Majesty's divine power, how could you be so successful today?"

"That's right! If Your Majesty wants to use us..."

If I use you, then what?
Think you guys can play better than us?

Ah--

The old general sneered and interrupted with a look of disdain.

"Use you?"

"In terms of status, our Zhen Liao Army is the official army of the imperial court! What are you, the Baima Yicong? You are just a private army of a clan!"

"Why do you think His Majesty would employ you?"

There was one more word he didn't dare say.

"If I use you, will it tell everyone in the world that the emperor's current position was won by you, the Gongsun clan of Liaodong?"

But that's enough.

Because this was a word that revealed the truth as to why they, the White Horse Yicong, had been neglected until now.

The expressions of several Gongsun clan members, including Gongsun Xun, froze and they stood still.

The old general saw that he had already said this, so he just continued speaking.

"Your Majesty's civil and military officials are all devoted to Mo Xuan, but you are the only ones who are talking alone."

"In the past ten years, I have never seen you take the initiative to get close to the monarch. What's the matter? Do you think that the monarch must have you and that the monarch must beg you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Gongsun Xun's face turned pale and he opened his mouth to defend himself.

But the old general who was already in a good mood was not going to give any face at all.

"You deserve it too!"

"In terms of combat power, the mere 200 Dragon Riders under your command can defeat your 30,000 White Horse Volunteers!"

"In terms of reputation, our Zhenliao Black Armored Cavalry is just as famous throughout the world! Wherever your Majesty's long sword points, even if we have to traverse thousands of mountains, we will never regret it!"

"Tell me, why does the Lord need you?"

The veteran's rapid-fire words were like slaps in the face.

Gongsun Xun and several other members of the Gongsun clan turned pale and then red in the face as they glared at him.

But he was calm and fearless, and did not feel the slightest bit of guilt or remorse for trampling on the face of the general's clan.

After all, these veterans have followed Gongsun Du for so many years, so how could they not know that Gongsun Du is Gongsun Du and Liaodong Gongsun is Liaodong Gongsun?

We should give people the face they deserve on a normal day, but we must take a clear stand at critical moments.

However, the other veterans around him still looked at their old friend with some concern.

"Alright, that's enough. Say less. There's no need to offend people to death."

But who would have thought that in response to the kind reminder from his divine thoughts, the old fellow replied with some pride.

"What am I afraid of? My Wulang is a close attendant to the emperor. You may be afraid of him, the Grandson of Liaodong, but I am not!"

Upon hearing this, the veterans' eyebrows twitched.

Damn showing off!

I really want to slap this old guy in the face twice to feel better!

But that's right.

His son, Xiao Yu, the fifth son of the Xiao family, is the commander of the emperor's personal guards. If he stood up and said these things at this time, it would undoubtedly help his son gain points in front of the emperor. No wonder he jumped out so impatiently.

"Old thief, old thief, the older he gets, the more thief he gets! He's really an old fox!"

A group of veterans looked at the old guy beside them, feeling half contempt and half emotion in their hearts.

The Gongsun clan members, who were bombarded on the spot, gradually calmed down after experiencing the initial humiliation and anger.

But each other's expressions became more and more ugly.

Because they suddenly realized that the old man's words were not pleasant to the ear and even a little harsh, making it difficult for them to accept them.

But after careful consideration, they felt as if they had suddenly been enlightened.

Recalling Han Shao's seemingly gentle and close, but actually cold and distant attitude towards them over the years, they gradually understood in a trance at this moment.

"But I never thought that the root cause... is like this..." Gongsun Xun, who was in the lead, raised his eyes with a complicated expression and looked at Qi Shuo above him. He opened his mouth several times to speak, but in the end he just sighed.

"It was we who were rude just now."

After saying this, he turned around and left with the Gongsun people.

Seeing Gongsun Xun leaving with a distraught look on his face, Qi Shuo did not stop him.

The veteran generals in the general's tent were a little anxious.

"Qi Shuai! They're just leaving like that? What about the next battle?"

Although the strategy for this battle was to use the Zhen Liao infantry as the main force, it would ultimately have to cooperate with the cavalry to achieve the greatest results.

The 10,000 White Horse Volunteers of Gongsun of Liaodong may seem few in number, but they are indispensable at critical moments.

Now that they have given up, who will fill this gap?
But in the face of the veterans' anxiety, Qi Shuo just smiled faintly.

"Don't worry, even if anyone else is missing from this world except you, the sun will still be high in the sky."

"Didn't General Xiao just say that? It's never been that the Lord needs them, but it's without the Lord that they really can't do anything..."

Having said that, Qi Shuo stood up leisurely with a calm expression.

"Come on, go to the front with me and see for yourself how the boys defeat the thieves!"

……

When two armies face each other, if one side moves, it can either retreat or fight.

The action of the Bingzhou army on the opposite side at this time undoubtedly chose to fight!

Looking at the smoke and dust trampled by countless horses' hooves in the distance, and then feeling the ground shaking more and more clearly under their feet, the Zhen Liao army, which had already set up its battle formation, was ready for battle.

fear?

Maybe.

Human nature values ​​life, who doesn’t fear death?
But with the young people shouting, "Your hometown is behind you. If you retreat, your parents, wives and children will be put under the knife of the bandits! The foundation you have built for many years will also be taken away by the bandits! Who will retreat?"

The eyes of the Zhenliao infantrymen, who only relied on their legs to stand on the ground, gradually turned red.

"No retreat! No retreat! No retreat!"

A good man should live in this world. If he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and causes the death of his parents, wife and children, is he a human being?

The momentum at this moment was like a rainbow, reaching the sky and even causing the earth and sky to change color.

Then, a huge vision with a dragon head and a turtle body vaguely condensed in the void - Ba Xia!
"Ten years of hard work have finally paid off..."

Under the banner of the central army, Qi Shuo asked calmly.

"What do you think of this mighty army?"

A group of veteran generals and staff officers who were also looking into the void had dazed eyes and sighed expressions on their faces.

"The military power of the army..."

They had worn armor all their lives but had never been able to obtain the true military inheritance, but they did not expect to see it in these younger generations.

There is definitely regret and reluctance.

But I feel more relieved.

"Very good."

Hearing the admirations and sighs from the veteran staff officers behind him, Qi Shuo laughed and said nothing more.

Because no matter how much you say on the battlefield, it is meaningless. The only real meaning is the life and death, victory or defeat fought out under swords and axes.

However, compared to the nervousness and anxiety that still existed in the hearts of these veteran staff officers, Qi Shuo was full of confidence.

Will win!
After all, he has never been defeated since he joined the king's army!

Thinking of this, Qi Shuo, who didn't want to say much, couldn't help but say something under the influence of emotions.

"Zhen Liao! Wan Sheng!"

The sound, carried by the magical power of heaven and earth, spread throughout the three armies.

The next moment, countless Zhenliao men wearing black armor raised their arms and shouted.

"Zhen Liao! Wan Sheng!"

……

"Military power...Divine beast Baxia!"

Looking at the huge vision formed by the void ahead, the movement of the Bingzhou cavalry, which was about to cross the boundary between the two states, suddenly slowed down.

The pupils of the Bingzhou army generals also shrank slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on their faces.

It was not only because he was shocked that the Zhenliao Army on the opposite side could actually gather its military strength, but also because this military strength... Damn, it was too big!

Overwhelming!

It was as if the legendary ancient mythical beast Ba Xia had reappeared in the world.

"This... can this be fought?"

They were full of confidence the moment before, looking down on the more than 100,000 Zhenliao infantrymen on the opposite side as ants and grass, but now they felt inexplicably guilty.

But soon someone used his Dharma Eye to vaguely see the strengths and weaknesses of the other side.

"What's there to be afraid of? The military power is just a facade, just for show and to scare people!"

"Those Youbei barbarians are making such a fuss. In my opinion, they seem to be guilty."

The man who spoke looked disdainful.

The so-called "empty city plan" is not only happening next door.

This world is blessed with supernatural powers, so it is not uncommon to try to scare off the enemy with aggressive behavior.

Once these words were spoken, they were passed on to the people below.

In a blink of an eye, the Bingzhou army, whose morale had been stagnant, not only did not stop, but instead accelerated its pace.

During this period, they not only turned a deaf ear to the nonsense coming from the Zhen Liao Army on the opposite side, such as "The Bingzhou Army crossed the border without an imperial edict, which is tantamount to treason", but they even found it a bit funny.

Now the world is in chaos, and the Yongji clan has lost most of the two capitals and twenty-eight states.

Treason?
What can you do to me?

So, without any pause, 100,000 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry directly crossed the border between the two states and appeared in front of the Zhen Liao Army.

The two armies were facing each other, one side was riding a wolf rider, looking down from a high position, and was extremely ferocious.

The black armor was neatly arranged, and the sight was full of murderous intent.

After looking at each other in silence for a while, as expected, the Bingzhou army took the first move.

The warhorse under his mount had the blood of a demon wolf mixed in. Although it had the shape of a horse, when it opened its mouth and neighed, it was full of fangs and sharp teeth. When it raised its hooves forward, it ran like the wind!
At this time, the Zhen Liao army formation, which had been standing still, also began to move.

One after another, strangely shaped carriages were quickly pushed out, and in the blink of an eye, a simple line of defense was built in front of the formation.

This thing is not uncommon.

The only thing that surprised and shocked the Bingzhou army was the number of these things.

Too much!
"Damn it! When did these Youzhou guys become so rich?"

You have to know that this kind of chariot that uses infantry to fight cavalry is very expensive to build. Not to mention the extremely poor Youzhou in the past, even the wealthy provinces in the south may not be able to organize such a huge chariot formation!

"This chariot has a built-in crossbow!"

"But don't panic! Listen to my orders later! Wear it down first!"

The former military commander shouted, and his spiritual thoughts covered the front formation.

When a buzzing sound came from the other side, he suddenly gave the order.

"change!"

In an instant, the thousands of wolf riders in the vanguard, who had been charging forward, drew a perfect arc on the spot.

Unlike the heavy Zhen Liao Iron Cavalry, the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry was light and agile, coming and going like the wind.

This former military commander was a veteran of Bingzhou, with rich battlefield experience and was familiar with military formations and weapons.

For example, the range of the bows and crossbows built into these chariots -

So when he looked at the dense rain of arrows that was like locusts flying all over the sky, he didn't take it seriously, and even felt a little amused and disdainful.

At this moment, he only needs to wait for this round of arrow rain to fall in front of him, and then take advantage of the gap when the opponent is reloading to rush into the formation and break the enemy formation!

But the next moment he couldn't laugh anymore.

Because he miscalculated the range and landing point of the opponent's rain of arrows.

"No! How...how could this happen!?"

"This type of tank... shouldn't be able to shoot so far..."

And just as he was stunned, countless Bingzhou Wolf Riders, who were originally as free and easy as the wind, fell down in an instant.

What made him even more frightened was that one of his subordinates screamed in fear.

"damn it!"

"It's the Pogang Crossbow!"
