Tang Dynasty: After dominating Rome, I counterattacked Chang'an

Chapter 49: Your Highness, I am willing to fight with you again!

“Shhhh….”

Countless Qingzhou riders passed over him, causing him various injuries.

One round passed,

Li Sizhong's hand was broken and his horse was ripped to pieces.

at last,

The last soldier of the Third Yaoguang Team also fell.

He was hanging on by one breath.

Consciousness becomes increasingly weak and blurred.

The next moment, the scene before my eyes changed unpredictably.

Everything around him was white. He no longer felt any pain, his hands were back, and his body returned to the way it was when he first joined the army.

"coming?"

A dark figure in front spoke.

Li Sizhong looked over there.

He found that in the white world, there were many dark shadows standing in front of him.

The appearance of those black shadows could not be seen clearly, but the logo of Yaoguang Camp was carved on the shoulders of all of them.

Those are... the soldiers and commander of the Yaoguang Camp who once died!
During the ten years that Li Chengdao conquered the West, he launched a war, and in the feudal era, no matter how well a war was fought, there would be casualties on both sides.

The Yaoguang Battalion is one of the seven major battalions of Dayan, responsible for raiding the enemy's hinterland, and its casualty rate is the highest among the seven battalions.

Li Sizhong looked at the shadows, his eyes flickering slightly: "Yes, they are coming."

As he finished speaking, the clouds in the sky changed unpredictably in an instant. In a short moment, an extremely dazzling star fell to the ground and eventually turned into a new black shadow.

Li Sizhong looked at the black shadow, and kept looking at it...
His eyes, which were usually steady, were filled with ripples.

"Everyone, are you willing to follow me and conquer the entire West?"

The black shadow spoke slowly. It was clearly a casual remark, but it seemed to contain infinite power, which made Li Sizhong's heart surge.

No….
The words may not be powerful, but whenever he heard the young man speak, even if it was just a casual remark, his blood would boil.

Many dark shadows half-knelt down in front of the young man.

The same is true for Li Sizhong.

This time.

Knowing that if he followed the young man, he might die again in the future, Li Sizhong still did not refuse, and even half-knelt down.

Kneeling was not practiced in Dayan or the Eastern Palace, but when he knelt, it was because he wanted to follow the young man from the bottom of his heart and still wanted to conquer the world for him.

"Your subordinate, Li Sizhong, is willing."

The words are heavy with promises.

Behind him, more than two hundred soldiers from the Yaoguang Camp appeared out of nowhere, all of whom died in the battle today.

Like Li Sizhong, they all half-knelt down, willing to follow the young man to fight again. They even had one more thing than Li Sizhong, fanatical eyes.

That young man led them to accomplish so many miracles, creating the Western Empire from nothing, and from having difficulty in getting food to everyone having meat. They were there and saw it more clearly than anyone else.

Because of this,

They believed in that young man with great fanaticism.

The worship at this moment,
The look in His Highness' eyes was exactly the same as the last time he met them three months ago, and he was even half-kneeling at this moment.

Even if they had to do it all over again, even if they knew the future would be tragic, they would remain steadfast, unreserved, and unquestioning, willing to follow the young man who created endless miracles in the front.

They always believed in that boy so much that they had no complaints even if that boy led them to a dead end. They only regretted why they didn't swing the sword one more time for that boy and kill one more enemy of that child when they were alive.

Li Sizhong and they all followed the King of Chu.

They all wanted to see once again what the world looked like in the eyes of this young man.

They also wanted to continue wielding their weapons for that young man once more, even just once.

….….….….….….
Li Sizhong is dead.

He was covered in blood, and his white robes seemed to be dyed red. This commander of the Yaoguang Camp, who had made great contributions to the Great Yan and participated in dozens of battles in his lifetime, did not die at the hands of the Westerners who had fought for ten years, but died at the hands of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, which he called his hometown.

He is dead.

But Li Sizhong doesn't think so.

He did not die under the enemy's sword. He had countless opportunities to surrender along the way, but for the belief in his heart, he followed Li Chengdao passionately and fearlessly, and he was not afraid of anything.

He dedicated himself to his beliefs and ideals.

Is he stupid?

Are these soldiers from the Yaoguang Camp who are willing to die in the same hot battle as him stupid?

Maybe, maybe….
In the eyes of many, this was a fearless sacrifice.

But this is also the most precious quality.

This quality,

Looking at the entire history of China, this is invaluable.

It was precious in the feudal era, and so it is in later times.

Especially during the later Anti-Japanese War, people were defeated by the Tokyo people at the beginning. Countless failures and countless despairs led to the emergence of a large number of puppet troops [people who surrendered to the Japanese army].

The number of puppet troops once exceeded the total number of soldiers in Tokyo.

This is a sign of the country's demise!

And...if there had not been a group of people who had continued to fight despite countless failures, and who had refused to surrender even after being captured and tortured, and who had saved the country from collapse, then...the country would have perished!

It is because of the existence of such a group of people that the flower growers have a future, and there are countless people who worry every day about what to eat today, instead of worrying about whether they will die every day like in the mid-winter area.

This is an extremely precious quality and the most priceless quality.

With it,
Only when the country has hope will people be willing to entrust their future to you.

This is how the seven camps of Dayan exist.

They were willing to give everything for the empire and for that young boy.

Even if it means life, I will not hesitate.

They don't care what others think, they just feel regretful and wonder why they didn't swing their swords one more time for that young man, for His Highness Li Chengdao, and kill even one more enemy of that young man when they were alive.

If so,

In the future, the young man will face fewer enemies.

It is precisely because of the fearless spirit that Dayan... has become so powerful today, powerful enough to declare war on the Tang Dynasty led by King Qin!

"Da da da…."

Chai Shao rode over and looked at the enemy who refused to surrender even if he died with a complicated look in his eyes.

Also at this time,

The Qingzhou Cavalry Commander rode up to him and said slowly, "General, twelve Yaoguang Cavalry escaped. What should we do with our army?"

Chai Shao exhaled: "You will lead three hundred Qingzhou cavalry to chase and kill them."

The Qingzhou Cavalry Commander nodded: "Understood."

He rode away.

But halfway through, Chai Shao stopped him and said, "Wait."

The Qingzhou cavalry commander turned around.

Chai Shao thought for a moment and added, "Make sure to eliminate them all!"

Chai Shao issued an order to annihilate.

Now he understood that the enemy he was facing were not soldiers, but assassins!

This group of people….
I will not surrender even if I die, so there is no need to take prisoners.

And based on the enemy's combat power,

If the order to capture prisoners was carried out, it might cost the lives of many of his own soldiers.
