A small soldier of the frontier army in the late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 516 Opening the Magic Box

Looking at the expectant eyes of the businessman below, Wen Fangliang clapped his hands, and several staff members came out and brought out a few sand tables, which turned out to be some three-dimensional topographical maps outside the Great Wall, rivers, mountains and rivers.

All the merchants gathered around, and many of them immediately found a place they were familiar with, and they all commented in amazement, especially some merchants from the outer roads, who had heard too much about the strength of the Jingbian army, and now they saw the sand table, and they were all in admiration.

A Taiyuan merchant even said: "This thing is extremely beneficial, and the mountains, rivers, families, and countries are all in the pocket."

One glimpse shows the whole leopard, just this sand table map, you can see the extraordinary of the Jingbian army, and immediately the confidence of the merchants is even stronger.

Wen Fangliang took a look at Wen Zanhua, Wen Zanhua understood, gave Wen Fangliang a little bow, and went out to explain.

Regardless of whether Wen Zanhua is Wen Fangliang's father or something, on the surface, Wen Fangliang is a general in the army and an ambassador of the staff department. There are no fathers and sons in the army. .

He stroked his beautiful beard, walked out calmly, and said to everyone: "Everyone, thanks to the investigations of our Jingbian Army Intelligence Department over the years, and the support of your shopkeepers, our army has figured out the situation in the north and south of the Great Wall long before sending troops. Information from various ministries..."

"As far as the current situation is concerned, in the east, southeast, and hundreds of miles to the northeast of our new Yongning City, there are the Mongolian Tumed Right Wing Banners of the Donglu Foreign Domain, the Harqin Left and Right Wing Banners, and the Tartars. Some small tribes in Wudameng include the Aohan, Naiman, and Bahrain tribes, and they generally graze in the areas of Yixun River and Kuanhe River (later Chengde, Chifeng, and Longhua)."

"Of course, most of the people who are close to our new Yongning City are the right-wing Karaqin and the right-wing Mongolian tribes of Tumed. Everyone in this Karaqin is no stranger to them, and they are the three tribes of Wuliang Ha Duoyan, Taining, and Fuyu in the past. The Mongols of Weiwei, especially the original Duoyan tribe, are the ancestors of the Harqin and Dongtumed tribes."

"After surrendering to the Dongnu, the slave chief Hongtai set aside a pasture territory for them. Compared with the Hu people who loved to migrate in the past, they have not moved much. It is easy to find them..."

As Wen Zanhua spoke calmly, he planted small flags in various places one by one, and immediately on the sand table, the territorial forces of the various ministries outside the Great Wall were clear at a glance.Merchants in the surrounding area watched with sighs. With such meticulous intelligence collection, how could the Jingbian army not have fought and won repeatedly?
Many people were even more trembling in their hearts, and they were even more awed by the mighty Jingbian army.The merchants present listened carefully to the explanation of Wen Zan's painting, and at the same time looked at the Zan's painting in Jingbian Army with some curiosity.

For everyone, especially some merchants from the outer roads, everything about the Jingbian Army is a mystery, and there are many rumors about them.

This powerful army, like a divine weapon descended from the sky, suddenly appeared in Daming, and appeared in the eyes of everyone. From rising to becoming famous in the world, it seems that it has not been used for a long time. Their strength has attracted the attention of countless caring people.

There are many people who study them, but this army seems to be covered with a veil, vague and indistinct. Every time you think you understand them, you develop unintentionally. What they show outside is just an iceberg of their strength One corner often makes people feel more than they want but not enough.

Of course, the more this is the case, the more the Jingbian Army will attract the attention of interested people, and the praise paintings in the army are also one of the focuses of outsiders' attention.

This painting, that is, the staff officers of later generations, existed in ancient China, and most of them were literati. Even in the army, most of them were in broad robes and sleeves, with a look of pointing out the country and passionate writing, or wearing official uniforms, The demeanor of a deputy official.

Contrary to the impressions of the public, Jingbian Army Zhongzan painted attire, not only has the ability of a soldier, but also has the elegance of a literati.

I saw Wen Zanhua at this time, wearing a Futou, wearing a tight-fitting green shirt, and wearing a sharp sword on his waist.Outside the green shirt, there is a short-sleeved cloak that reaches to the calf. There is a scarf on the cloak, which can be tied like a cloak.

Wen Zanhua was originally a handsome man, but now he is wearing Zanhua's uniform, which is more elegant and heroic. His demeanor can fascinate girls and young women. In fact, Wen Zanhua's private life is quite chaotic. Wen Fangliang is very similar to him.

This attire is also the embodiment of the new uniforms of the Jingbian Army and the establishment of the new battalion system, trying to show the most heroic side of each army and the characteristics of each branch.Obviously, Wang Dou's goal has been achieved. Many scholars and scholars on the East Road, after seeing Wen Zan's paintings, have the urge to abandon their brushes and join the army.

Facing everyone's gaze, including some weird and greedy eyes, Wen Zanhua remained motionless.

He continued to say indifferently: "...Laoha River, passing by the east of the Kuanhe River, is the divisions of the left and right wing banners of Karaqin, and going northeast, you will find most of the left and right wing banners of Tumed. They are all East Tumed One, which is different from the naturalized city of Tumed in the west, and Horqin's other tribes in the northeast corner..."

Wen Zanhua slowly planted small flags all over the sand table, and these small flags were distributed in many river valleys.

In ancient times, whether it was marching or stationing, people and animals needed a lot of drinking water, especially for nomadic people who lived by water and grass.Their tribal bases are basically located on the banks of rivers, especially those that are separated by mountains. If they are marching, they will march along the river valley.

The same is true for the Jingbian army going out to fight in the fortress. In the past, the Intelligence Department and the Jianshaoying sent out the fortress to search along the valley, or to buy some Mongols, or to contact the captive Han people in various tribes as guides, or to use businessmen as intermediaries.

Generally speaking, although the tribes outside the Great Wall are afraid of the Jingbian army, since the Ming Dynasty has not had a large-scale outing of the Fortress for a hundred years, generally speaking, the tribes outside the Great Wall are not very cautious. Many tribes gather at the edge of the Ming Dynasty. The wall is not far away.

Their nomadic ability has also degraded, half-cultivating and half-grazing, and many large tribes have set up tents and built simple fortifications.Especially after the various ministries took refuge in the Qing army, the grassland forces were divided, and their migration activities were also restricted, which made it easier for the Jingbian army to collect intelligence.

His eyes slowly swept across everyone in the field: "I can reveal a little bit about the strategy of this battle. Of course, you are not allowed to divulge even a single word of this strategy, otherwise..."

He held the sharp sword in his hand, squinted at everyone, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I think, you don't want your family to be ruined, do you?"

It seemed that a cold current rushed through the hearts of all the businessmen in the venue, and they couldn't help shivering. This Zanhua was amazing. He was smiling and smiling on the surface, elegant and kind, but the words he said were so penetrating.

However, the praise of the painting was not simply to intimidate the merchants present. Everyone knew that Uncle Zhongyong was ruthless to the rebels. Who wouldn't be afraid of being punished?Even if some people are left alive, it will be the fate of being slaves in the mine for generations.

And even if they escape, everyone knows how powerful the Shogunate Intelligence Department is. The arresting teams and anti-rape teams under its jurisdiction can stop children crying at night, especially those new members of the Swordsman Hall.

So as soon as Wen Zanhua's words came out, the businessmen present immediately burst into flattery, and all of them patted their chests to promise that they would never do such heartless things, especially Lai Mancheng's voice was the loudest and most resolute.

Gao Shiyin and Shen Shiqi looked at each other, their lips parted. This Wen Zanhua looked elegant and graceful on the surface, but his heart was dark and vicious. The more he came into contact with, the more chilling he felt.Although the two are cruel, they both like to fight with sharp swords and sharp guns, and they are a little uncomfortable with Wen Zan's painting style. However, there are all kinds of people in the Jingbian army, but they can't control their temperament.

Wen Shiyan also nodded slightly, guessing that the merchants present were not so ignorant, besides, the East Road implements the system of continuous sitting and guarantor system, and the price of betrayal is extremely high and difficult.As for the specific strategy this time, in order to keep it secret, even the generals under the Zhongyi Battalion don't know much about it.

He lifted his hand from the saber, and said calmly: "Our army consists of 5000 people, divided into three armies, the second battalion of the Jingbian army, the inner first-class army, and the Zhongyi battalion with thousands of people as the front army, about [-] people. The one-color cavalry army will be divided into several large groups, and with a thunderous move, the resistance of the tribes will be wiped out in one fell swoop!"

"Afterwards, the armed business group followed up, took in the population, cattle and horses, expropriated the remaining northern captive herdsmen, captured the proceeds, and transported them back to Xinyongning, where the Tun Ding and Tun Hu were responsible for sorting out. Finally, Jingbian of the Second Battalion Army infantry, as the rear army, guard the rear of the army, and carry artillery to meet the possible attack of the city wall, or the possible outflanking of the rear by the Tartars!"

The second battalion of Wen Fangliang and Gao Shiyin has more than [-] troops, about half of which are veterans of the first-class army, and everyone has horses.

Moreover, there are about 3000 people in the Zhongyi Battalion, and they are also uniform cavalry cavalry. Almost all of them are servants and elite cavalry. They can still fight after following the Jingbian army, not to mention that they are only facing the Mongols.

But this time, the merchants from Lianhe East Road and many armed merchants from the outer road gathered together, and there were four to five thousand people, including no less than three thousand armed people, many of whom had vehicles or horses.

Many of these people are desperadoes. In fact, their combat power should not be underestimated. Of course, they have no discipline and no organization. In Wang Dou's view, they are just mobs.Even so, Wang Dou would not give them a chance to work together.

"The battle outside the Great Wall will mainly take place in the Yixun River, Kuan River, Laoha River, and Qinglong River. The main areas of activity of the shopkeepers are also here. As for the Daling River Basin in the northeast, you don't have to Go, even if my teacher arrives there, he will only kill people, and will not take people, cattle, sheep and other things, of course, except for horses..."

Wen Zanhua spoke eloquently, and all the shopkeepers were excited and apprehensive when they heard it. From Wen Zanhua's calm words, one could faintly feel the bloody atmosphere, and one could imagine how big the scene would be.And this kind of big scene, I also participated in it, how can I make everyone not excited and restless?

And listening to Wen Zanhua's explanation, all the merchants nodded repeatedly even though they didn't understand military affairs.Coupled with the sand table, the military operations are clear at a glance, and there is no sense of darkness in front of the eyes. It is very different from the usual literati, who praise the paintings on paper.

Everyone felt that this operation had a great chance of winning, and they would definitely get a lot of money and meritorious service, and they all whispered excitedly.

Looking at the expressions of everyone in the field, Wen Zanhua stroked his beard and smiled. He liked the feeling of controlling everyone's emotions.

Finally he said: "According to the general's plan..."

Having said that, he bowed his hands to the upper right, expressing his respect for Uncle Zhongyong.

All the businessmen were stunned, and they all made the same move. No matter what they thought in their hearts, on the surface, they all had expressions of respect and admiration.

Just listen to Wen Zanhua's continued: "...The population, cattle, sheep, and treasures obtained in this battle are all sold to you at a price of [-]% to [-]% of the market price. For the specific price of each item, you can discuss with the owner of the commercial field. There is also Vice President Lai of Zhendong Commercial Bank to discuss in detail."

He smiled at Tian Changguo, the head of the business department, and glanced at Wen Fangliang, Gao Shiyin and others. Everyone nodded. In the voice of all the businessmen: "Respectfully send you generals." , and walk away in a moment.

Tian Changguo stood up, his two big bubble eyes shining brightly, thinking: "Finally it's my turn."

He coughed, looked at the expecting merchants below, and said, "Okay, everyone, it's time to do business. I, Lao Tian, ​​have calculated carefully. In this battle outside the Great Wall, it is possible to obtain 170 or six kinds of merchants. Goods, I have marked the price, everyone come to discuss carefully..."

Wen Fangliang, Gao Shiyin, and Shen Shiqi left the hall and came to the tower again.

Looking around the city, no matter whether it is a sergeant or a villager, they are all nervously preparing for the expedition.Looking outside the city, the Chaohe River flows through the northeast of the city like a jade belt. There are fields along the river, and some grasslands, where there are flocks of cattle and sheep, quite a picture of the style outside the Great Wall.

Look at the sky again, there is no cloud in the sky, a piece of blue, the air in this era is really good.

Gao Shiyin's face trembled a few times, and he finally said: "Your Majesty, I'm really not used to being in the hall. Those merchants smell like copper all over their bodies."

Wen Fangliang looked at the front in a daze, and murmured: "Old Gao, you have to learn to get used to it."

Shen Shiqi looked at the scenery outside the city, a little obsessed, and sighed: "It's so beautiful."

He said: "This time we go out of the fortress, do we count as a wolf living in Xuxu?"

Without waiting for others to answer, he suddenly said: "Two elder brothers, the younger brother feels this situation and wants to sing a song."

Wen Fangliang and Gao Shiyin said in unison: "Don't."

Seeing Shen Shiqi's resignation, Gao Shiyin frowned for a long time, and finally softened his heart, and said: "I really don't want to sing, I really want to sing, let's sing together when we go out tomorrow."

……

On August 14th, [-]th year of Chongzhen, Chenshi, Xinyongning City.

The sky is still high. August in the lunar calendar is already September in the Gregorian calendar. It is the time when the autumn is crisp and the grass grows and the horses are fertile.

Early in the morning, Wen Fangliang's Zuowei Qinglong Camp, Gao Shiyin's Forward Zhuque Camp, and Shen Shiqi's Loyalty Camp all lined up in the eastern suburbs, and there were thousands of armed business groups from merchants, and many residents of Xinyongning City About 2 households from nearby forts also gathered here.

The sea of ​​people seemed boundless, and there was no end to the neat squares one after another. The flags were flying, and the blood-red waves, the sun, the moon, and the flags were rolling.

As far as the eye can see, the phalanxes are full of dense hats and helmets, and dense bright red long body armor, with black borders and blue borders.There is also a blue border on the outside, which is the logo of the Zhongyi Battalion. They all wear second-class armor of the Jingbian Army. The difference is the blue border on the outside, and the flag border is the same.

The dense weapons are like a forest, shining with metal light from time to time. It is the villagers of New Yongning City. No matter men, women, old or young, everyone has waist knives, birds, blunderbuss and long guns. The interior is even stricter. Over the past few years, regardless of men, women, young or old, everyone has lined up in a strict and orderly manner.

Of course, there is also disharmony, that is, those folk heroes not only have their weapons at an exhibition, but also have various styles of armor and clothing, and they stand loosely.

There are also soldiers of the Loyalty Battalion. Although they have undergone assault training for a period of time after the formation of the battalion, the formation of the team is strict, and the discipline is not even as good as these villagers outside the Great Wall.

However, such a military appearance, in the eyes of those armed merchant groups and the old soldiers of the Loyalty Battalion, is already extremely powerful and mighty, and the evil spirit is soaring.

Infected by such an atmosphere, everyone was panting with excitement. A businessman beside Lai Mancheng couldn't help but said: "Our army is really mighty and majestic. Once the king's division comes out this time, all the captives will surely be wiped out."

At this time, Lai Mancheng put on iron armor again, making him look like an iron can, but his Qinglong Yanyue knife was carried on his shoulder, which made his mighty aura much less.

At this time, he shook his head and said: "Indeed, although this is not the first time I have seen the majestic appearance of the army, it is really mighty!"

Yang Dongmin, Zhang Wenru, and Xu Youyu in the Zhongyi Camp also exchanged glances excitedly.

After Shen Shiqi's training, they all had a certain understanding of military law.At this serious moment, one must not dare to make noise, otherwise, who knows if the Gao and Shen will sacrifice them to the military law on the spot?
Only Xu Lu, Liu Wei, Yu Qingyuan, and Lan Bulian from Yang Dongmin's department secretly made up their minds that this time, no matter what, they must make some military achievements. Seeing Wen Fangliang's appearance, I am envious.

In front of the high platform of the army, Wen Zan painted a line, unfolded a call to action against Hu, and read it in cadence, detailing the crimes of the northern captives over the years, and then enumerating the necessity and benevolence of the Jingbian army going out of the fortress. After the reading, All the soldiers shouted: "Wan Victory!"

They shouted in unison, almost exhausting their whole body's strength, the overwhelming voice sounded shocking.

Wen Fangliang stood on the high platform. He usually looked cynical, but now his expression was serious, with only a sense of majesty.

He looked down the stage, the black torrent of steel seemed to spread to the end of the sky.In front of some second-class army formations, there are also some cannons, dozens of them, all of which are Buddha Wolf machine cannons, which are light and flexible, and their firepower is quite strong.

There are also bags of fried noodles placed on the horses of the First Class Jingbian Army, which can maintain the dietary needs for seven to fifteen days.

In order to create a quick assault, the First Class Army and the Zhongyi Battalion did not even bring tents except for the necessary weapons.In this kind of weather, even outside the camp, there is really no need to carry a marching tent.

Wen Fangliang looked at Gao Shiyin and Shen Shiqi again, and they were also stern and serious at this time.Seeing from Wen Fangliang's point of view, the three of them seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they all nodded at the same time. They were all dressed in military uniforms.

With the sound of hoofbeats, the three riders walked side by side. Wherever they went, the soldiers in the phalanx all gave salutes of attention and guns.

When passing through the phalanx of the villagers, everyone looked at the three generals with some curiosity, especially at Wen Fangliang.

I have heard for a long time that there are two handsome men in the Jingbian army, one is Gao Xun, and the other is General Wen, the ambassador of the Staff Department.There are many rumors about Wen Fangliang. At this time, all the villagers saw it with their own eyes, and they all showed gossip and satisfaction. It really deserves its reputation. I didn't expect a man to be so handsome.

In the middle of the army formation, Wen Fangliang sighed, "Sing if you want."

Both Gao Shiyin and Shen Shiqi exhaled, they looked at each other, and nodded heavily, they took a deep breath, and suddenly shouted together: "Hey..."

The two sang loudly in front of the army formation: "Beautiful prairie, I will come, I will come."

Everyone was stunned for a second, but soon, countless troops and tens of thousands of people sang in unison: "Ah, ah, ah, ah!"

Shen Shiqi roared in a frightened voice: "I will make my wine cup out of the Tartar's head."

Tens of thousands of people sang in unison: "Ah yo ah yo, ah yo ah yo!"

Gao Shiyin sang loudly like a broken gong, spreading far and wide: "Their wives are my concubines, and their sons are my servants."

The chorus of countless troops sang: "Ah, ah, ah, ah!"

Gao Shiyin and Shen Shiqi sang: "My riding whip beat them hard."

Countless people sang in chorus: "Ah yo ah yo, ah yo ah yo!"

"Across the mountains, across the plains, across the earth, across the grasslands!"

"Ah yo ah yo, ah yo ah yo!"

"To the end of the sky, hey."

Tens of thousands of people roared together: "Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!"

With the sound of dragon chant, Wen Fangliang, Gao Shiyin, and Shen Shiqi all drew out their weapons and held them high.

All the soldiers and civilians raised their weapons, and dazzling cold lights flashed continuously from the formations of each army.

Zhang Wenru raised his big gun, and Lai Mancheng raised his Qinglong Yanyue knife.

Everyone shouted: "Kill them all, burn them all, steal them all!"

The roar was like thunder, shaking the whole world.

A cannon rang, and the high platform warmly praised the painting and shouted: "The auspicious time has come!"

The stern light flashed in Wen Fangliang's eyes, and he shouted: "Sacrifice the flag, bring those Tartars up!"

In the silence of the world, the cries, shouts, and struggles of foreign races could be heard. Through each army formation, a dozen or so Tartars in fur caps and fur robes were seen, all tied up and escorted by some soldiers from the Jingbian Army. come up.

Along the way, all the army formations cast their eyes on them with anger and hatred.

These Tartars, they were all captured at night or when the intelligence department went out to scout, and they were taken captive from some tribes on the way. It happened that the army went out and brought them to sacrifice the flag.

These Tartars, seeing the armored troops of the Ming army lined up solemnly everywhere, how could they not know how to wait for their own fate in this situation?
They were terrified, when did the Ming army go out?What are they up to?Surprised and terrified, all of them struggled desperately. Some begged, some were just numb, or some knew they were hopeless, so they got down and cursed.

One of the stout Tartars struggled and yelled the most. He also yelled at the people around him: "The descendants of Genghis Khan, the descendants of Changshengtian, don't beg for mercy from these southern barbarians. We are all warriors in the clan, and we will die. It is also returning to the embrace of the gods, what are you afraid of?"

He didn't even show a look of panic, but his eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a beast-like growl from his throat. He struggled up to the high platform and shouted: "You despicable Nikan, you despicable Nanman, treat the Zhasak of my clan!" When they come back, they will definitely avenge us. They will also bring countless Qing soldiers to kill you southern barbarians!"

Gao Shiyin didn't accept him overnight and knew Mongolian, so he naturally knew what the tartar was cursing. His face was shaking violently, and he said with a grin: "Okay, very good!"

Wen Fangliang looked calm, and asked, "What is this tartar cursing?"

Gao Shiyin said it, and Shen Shiqi was furious: "How dare I speak hard when I am about to die, let me see how I torture him!"

Wen Fangliang looked at the tartar with a half-smile, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Okay, you are worthy of being a warrior of the Er clan. I am the Jingbian army. I, Wen Fangliang, am the most beloved warrior. I will definitely give you a sacrifice that a warrior should have." The flag dies!"

He said a few words to Shen Shiqi, and Shen Shiqi laughed and said, "Have fun!"

He passed the order to the generals of the Zhongyi Battalion, and they also laughed when they heard it, especially Zhang Wenru, who had a cruel smile on his face.

Soon, dozens of soldiers from the Loyalty Battalion rushed out and put the tartar and several other tartars who were also scolding fiercely into sacks, which were tied tightly with rope.

The Jingbian army acted like this, how could those Tartars in the sack not understand what was waiting for them?It was full of shrill shouts, and even half of the people repented and stopped shouting, but desperately begged for mercy. Their voices came from the sack, vague and strange.

And the Tartars beside them who were not put into the sack were scared out of their wits, shivering and trembling.

Zhang Wenru screamed wildly, lifted the reins of the horse, and shouted: "Come out a hundred, follow me to trample them to death!"

Amidst the neighing of the horse, Zhang Wenru rode his horse and rushed out. He spotted a sack, and stepped on the two horseshoes in front of him heavily.

The clear sound of bone cracking, as well as piercing screams, came from the sack.The stench of incontinence, as well as the blood gushing like a fountain inside the sack, immediately stained a large area of ​​the sack red, and even the blood seeped into the ground, staining the soil black and red.

The person in this sack was exactly the Tartar who yelled the most loudly just now, he was tied up, and he was so sleepy.

In this way, apart from struggling and curling up, no other movements can be done.Zhang Wenru's horse stepped down and landed on his chest, instantly breaking many bones.Even multiple ribs protruded, piercing several sacks, and red and white bone stubbles were exposed from them.

The Tartar was in so much pain that he just writhed desperately. Looking from the outside, he couldn't see his expression inside the sack, but felt that his writhing was too weird.

Zhang Wenru rode his horse over again, and stomped down hard. It seemed that the blood in the bag suddenly burst, and the whole sack was squeezed upwards to create a cloud of blood mist. In just a moment, the sack became a bag of flesh and blood. .

The tartar in the bag didn't seem to be dead yet, but his body twisted in a 360-degree motion.

Zhang Wenru laughed wildly and stomped his horse wildly, while beside him, there were endless screams that could make people's eardrums rupture.A hundred knights from the Loyalty Battalion came out, mobilized their horses, and trampled on the tartars in the sacks. Amid the constant sound of bone cracking, those tartars were trampled to a pulp amidst the screams.

The area around here also seemed to have become a quagmire of flesh and blood, with dark red blood flowing all over the ground.

In the army formation, no matter the soldiers or the villagers, they all looked very relieved, only some merchants were pale, and the scene in front of them was too pervasive.The Tartars next to them who were not put into the sacks were all scared out of their wits, dripping with feces and urine. They shrank to the ground, just hoping to have a good time.

After confirming that all the tartars had been turned into meat, Zhang Wenru led his knights back. These knights also shouted happily, saying that if they catch tartars in the future, they must do so.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the rest of the Tartars were chopped off with one knife, and the flag sacrifice ceremony ended in victory.Wen Zanhua has been watching all this without changing his face, and at this moment he stroked his beard and said: "Sacrifice the flag, the soldiers drink the blood of the Tartars, and my teacher will definitely win this battle!"

Both Gao Shiyin and Shen Shiqi nodded in agreement.

Wen Fangliang took a deep look at Dongfang, then looked at the Xiongjun under the stage, raised his sword, and shouted: "Let's go!"

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

Amidst the overwhelming cheers, the Jingbian Army of the Second Battalion and the knights of the Zhongyi Battalion rode their horses and went out first.

They were like a red tide, galloping towards the east, their iron hooves hitting the ground, trembling as if the earth was shaking...
