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

Chapter 82: The Black Armored Heavy Cavalry was severely damaged, and Yuchi Jingde was unwilling to give in!
The souls of the Eastern Palace who died ten years ago are buried here, as well as Pei Xingjian's future wife. At the same time, the bodies of the soldiers from the Yaoguang Camp who were brought back will also be buried here today.

I couldn't bring all of them back.
More than 800 people who were responsible for blocking Li Jing's army all died in a foreign land.

He was in charge of the front battlefield. Due to the urgent situation at that time, he only brought back more than 800 people out of the thousand who died.

In front of the burial place,
Pei Xingjian and all the surviving soldiers of the Yaoguang Camp sent the more than 800 men of the Yaoguang Camp who were brought back to heaven.

This is a big fire!
It’s not that they don’t respect the dead soldiers, but they said it when they joined the Yaoguang Camp that the battlefield changes rapidly, and it is difficult to bring back your body after you die, so if conditions permit, they will cremate you, collect your ashes and take them back to your hometown.

Now, the cremation begins.

Looking at the rising fire, Pei Xingjian's eyes flickered with hot and bright red flames, as if there was a spirit in them, as if he was crying, but also as if not.

Too many people died.

Some of them,
They are all soldiers from his hometown who have followed him since he left his hometown.

Pei Xingjian's eyes were moist, and his memory was brought back to the scene of the escape battle that year.

During those days,

His Highness asked him and his men to return to their hometown and stop fighting for the eldest grandson of the Tang emperor who had lost everything. It was his willfulness that made him choose to return to His Highness.

And all his soldiers followed him back. No one hesitated or wavered. They were all so determined and unwavering.

If they had gone back,

I can reunite with my family, I can reunite with them!
They can take their families and run to a place where no one knows them and choose to spend the rest of their lives in peace.

But he came back with his willfulness...
After ten years of fighting, he finally returned to the Tang Dynasty, but he was still a foreigner, a withered bone...
Even some soldiers,

The bodies are all in Wu County and cannot be brought back.

Thinking of this, Pei Xingjian's eyes became more moist.

He didn't know how to face the families and relatives of these Yaoguang boys in the Tang Dynasty or even in Dayan.

Silence, standing there for a long time.

Until the fire stopped.

Pei Xingjian then turned around.

Behind him are the eight hundred living Yaoguang men.

There are still many who have followed him since the Eastern Palace, but there are more brand new soldiers selected from the land of Dayan in recent years.

Although there were mostly new soldiers, these people, like those dead men, respected and believed in him so much that they had no complaints even though he led them out in the sun for an hour today.

Pei Xingjian's eyes became moist again.

They trusted him too much, but he didn't know how many more heroic souls would be buried on this land after the next war with the Tang Dynasty.

He also didn't know how many people he could protect.

“It’s time… to go…”

There was a long silence.

Even though he had thousands of words to express in his heart, in the end, all Pei Xingjian could say were these simple and plain words.

Although these were just three plain words, the lonely and sad tone made the soldiers of Yaoguang Camp feel a heavy atmosphere.

"General, your gun."

The person who came towards him was a newly appointed commander of the Yaoguang Battalion, whom he had selected after the war. He was holding Pei Xingjian's gun and handed it to him.

Pei Xingjian's eyes flickered.

The newly appointed commander of the Yaoguang Camp not only kept his gun, but also his sword, because the previous commander of the Yaoguang Camp who was in charge of these had died on the battlefield of Wu County.

Pei Xingjian looked at the leader of the Yaoguang Camp, looked, looked, looked carefully...
It was as if through this man, I saw the previous commander of the Yaoguang Camp, transformed into a heroic spirit, floating above the new commander of the Yaoguang Camp, and saying to him: "General, your gun. It's time for us to leave."

In an instant, Pei Xingjian's eyes became so moist that tears fell.

He took the gun and looked at the living soldiers again. The Yaoguang Battalion soldiers did not speak, but Pei Xingjian seemed to see the heroic spirits floating above them, the heroic spirits of the dead...Yaoguang Battalion soldiers.

"General, it's time to go."

The living and the dead, they seemed to speak together.

They were all urging General Baihu to go to the battle.

They are also full of ardent loyalty, have endless confidence in him, and never doubt his decisions.

Pei Xingjian seemed to see that they were not afraid of death.

Even if I could do it again,
I will also choose to continue to follow His Highness and conquer the world with him, rather than retiring.

They are not afraid of death....They are not afraid of death....
Yes…yes~yes!
yes!!!!
They are not afraid of death!

For that man, they were never afraid of death.

It is like the Tianji Camp far away in Liangzhou, surrounded by enemies on all sides, but the Tianji General Xue Wanche and the Tianji Camp still fight to the death for the Highness they believe in. How could his Yaoguang Camp be weaker than them?
"General, it's time to go."

Hazy.

Pei Xingjian seemed to hear the shouting again, those foolish heroes seemed to be urging him on again.

Pei Xingjian cried and then laughed: "You guys..."

He smiled bitterly and shook his head, then nodded heavily.

"Well, it's time to go..."

Pei Xingjian led the team out again, this time divided into three teams, each heading to a different county to continue gathering information about Jiangdong that had not been gathered before.

They have to continue gathering intelligence.

This laid a solid intelligence foundation for Li Chengdao's subsequent expedition of one million troops to Jiangdong and the capture of Jiangdong.
.
….….…….….….
at the same time.

Liangzhou.

"General, the Prince of Hejian has also arrived in Liangzhou. We are now even more powerful. We can finally encircle Xue Wanche and his Tianji Camp. How should we...encircle and suppress them?"

A commander of the heavy cavalry in black armor spoke with a voice filled with hatred.

These days,

They had fought with the Tianji Camp.

But the results were not satisfactory.

Perhaps it was because Yuchi Jingde had been successfully conquered before, or perhaps it was because of the common people in Liangzhou that they were frustrated everywhere and unable to exert their full strength.

In short, they were completely defeated.

A full 5,000 black armored cavalrymen were the absolute trump card of the Tang Dynasty! They were also the pride of Qin Wang Li Shimin's life!

But after several battles,
They lost more than 600 people, while the Tianji Camp only lost more than 200 people.

The casualties were not great, but the ratio was nearly three to one.

Moreover, the Black Armored Heavy Cavalry suffered more casualties!

If Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and other generals who were far away in Chang'an knew about this, they would definitely exclaim that it was unbelievable!

after all,

The reputation of the Black Armored Heavy Cavalry is known throughout the world, and it was the King of Qin who led 3,000 Black Armored Cavalry to defeat an enemy army of 100,000.

In the past wars,

It has always been the case that the enemy's casualties are greater than those of the Black Armor Heavy Cavalry, and it is never possible that the Black Armor Heavy Cavalry's casualties are higher than those of the enemy.

But now,
But it was an exception, the first time since the establishment of the Black Armor Heavy Cavalry!
Their casualties were higher than those of the enemy!
