In a chaotic world, border soldiers begin their journey by enlisting in the army and getting married

Although the mission was supposed to be a rescue, Kong Qingzhi clearly had a conspiracy. Before they even understood what the other side was planning, Chen Shan had already made arrangements in advance.

When faced with Nan Tu Rou's question, Chen Shan did not offer much explanation, or rather, there was no need to explain.

After all, it's better to witness something firsthand than to explain it.

Sure enough, while the Deficit Camp was setting up camp to cook, Kong Qingzhi had already led his troops toward the Longevity Platform.

Before long, Qing cavalrymen appeared one after another around the Red Army!

From afar, one could see Qing cavalry heading towards the Red Army.

"Boss, the enemy is here!"

"We're likely to be surrounded from this position."

As soon as the Qing cavalry appeared, the Red Banner Battalion became alert instantly.

Nan Tu Rou looked even more wary.

They had already reached this position when the Qing army finally appeared, which was truly unexpected.

Although everyone knew they would eventually run into each other, no one expected it to happen at this time.

"Judging from where they came from, they're exactly where Kong Qingzhi and his group are."

"Now you know what happened, right?"

Chen Shan was not alarmed. He had already guessed the general idea and naturally understood that Kong Qingzhi would not let the matter rest.

They've all come out together; it would be abnormal if he didn't cause some trouble.

"These cavalrymen, though not belonging to the Sirius Army, can still be considered elite cavalry, and judging by their numbers, there are approximately thirty thousand!"

"Retreat immediately! Once the cavalry launches a charge on the grasslands, the infantry simply cannot withstand it!"

Nan Tu Rou hurriedly gave the order, but Chen Shan immediately rejected it as soon as she spoke.

"There's no need for that."

"Brother Xiao, pass down the order: the Red Battalion, prepare for battle."

"Get the crossbows ready."

Chen Shan had no intention of leaving; on the contrary, he wanted to have a good fight.

He had 30,000 elite cavalry, while he only had 3,000 soldiers.

Although the deficit battalion was elite, the difference in numbers was still enormous.

Nan Tu Rou had no idea how Chen Shan could possibly resist, given that he had no advantage whatsoever in terms of terrain or other aspects.

Without favorable conditions, one can only rely on brute force. In this situation, how can one possibly win?

Just as Nan Tu Rou was confused, the Red Character Camp had already set up their formation, with shield soldiers in front, compound bows, repeating crossbows, and even soldiers wielding long swords hidden behind.

It can be said that they made the most of the remaining three thousand people.

After all, they were on the grassland, and even if they chose to retreat, they couldn't outrun their opponents.

Those were cavalry, which gave them an absolute advantage on the grasslands.

As the Qing cavalry formed their ranks, they were already within arm's reach, charging forward at breakneck speed. The enemy's objective was perfectly clear: they were coming for them.

"Ready! Fire!"

Seeing the cavalry getting closer and closer, Chen Shan immediately gave the order.

With shield infantry in the front row blocking the arrows, the composite archers and rapid-fire crossbowmen in the back row have a great deal of room to deal damage!

In just one encounter, the 30,000 cavalry charged and lost several thousand men in a single wave!

"When they charge in, charge and kill them!"

Chen Shan did not hesitate. He had already achieved such results with just one round of shooting, which was quite good.

It's not easy to expect any further results, and what follows will naturally be a real clash!

In the life-or-death struggle, the deficit battalion may suffer heavy losses, but this is an inevitable process. In the military and on the battlefield, life-or-death struggles are unavoidable.

This is the only way for the deficit battalion to truly become an elite force.

As the cavalry charged again, this time, the three thousand Red Badge Battalion abandoned their previous defenses. Although they kept firing arrows and crossbows, the firepower was ultimately limited.

The Qing cavalry seemed to know that they didn't have many arrows left, and they continued their charge without stopping.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides were already locked in a fierce battle.

The cavalry had a significant advantage, but the Deficit Battalion was simply much stronger than ordinary soldiers.

The two sides fought fiercely, how tragic it was!

However, Chen Shan was completely different. He was extremely fast, wielding a long-handled broadsword, and his immense strength could shake the heavens. No one could withstand him wherever he went.

They were all cut in half at the waist by Chen Shan!

Despite Chen Shan's unparalleled bravery, the Deficit Camp still suffered considerable losses.

After a fierce battle, only a little over a thousand of the three thousand men remained. Moreover, many of the remaining soldiers were wounded.

In contrast, of the 30,000 elite cavalry, less than 10,000 remained!

"That's too risky."

"While the enemy has suffered significant losses, let's quickly seize warhorses and leave this place, otherwise, what if reinforcements arrive..."

At this moment, Nan Tu Rou was panting heavily, her armor was covered in wounds, and even her skin was exposed.

Even though she was seriously injured, Nan Tu Rou still looked murderous.

"It's too late to retreat now."

"Do you think Kong Qingzhi will feel comfortable watching us leave?"

Chen Shan spoke very directly, and Nan Tu Rou fell silent after hearing this.

Without a doubt, the Qing cavalry arrived suddenly and came from Kong Qingzhi's side.

Even a fool knows that this guy colluded with the Qing people, and his goal was to kill them all here.

How could we possibly let them leave unscathed?

No sooner had Chen Shan finished speaking than Kong Qingzhi led his battalion over from behind the remaining cavalry.

"Tsk tsk, isn't this General Nan Tu?"

"I didn't expect that such a small number of you could hold your own against the cavalry."

"However, seeing that you are all injured, you probably don't have the strength to fight anymore."

Kong Qingzhi spoke as he stepped forward.

Before he knew it, the other soldiers had surrounded him.

Without a doubt, Kong Qingzhi was planning to kill!

"Kong Qingzhi, how dare you collude with the Qing Dynasty! It seems that mission was also a deliberate scheme by you?"

Nan Tu Rou's eyes were filled with murderous intent. She never expected that someone of Kong Qingzhi's status would do such a thing.

Given their high status in the Xia Kingdom, the fact that they would do such a thing suggests that if they were to completely control the court, the Xia Kingdom would likely be on the verge of destruction.

"Heh, Nan Tu Rou, so what if I tell you? Today, both you and Chen Shan will die here!"

When Kong Qingzhi said this, his face lost its previous refined and amiable demeanor, replaced by a cold and twisted expression.

Born into a family of Confucian scholars and a descendant of the Confucian sage, he at this moment resembled a vicious and ruthless villain.

They no longer care about so-called dignity.

After all, in Kong Qingzhi's eyes, Nan Turou, Chen Shan, and the others were people who were destined to die!

"The mission itself is fine, and the need for rescue is also no problem. However, I'll be assigning you to work under my command?"

Kong Qingzhi became more and more excited as he spoke, and he really did put on a confident look.

Seeing Kong Qingzhi's appearance, Chen Shan also sneered.

"Kong, you sycophant, I never expected that a descendant of the Confucian sage would only have such tricks up his sleeve. It really surprises me."

"Do you really think you can deal with us with just a few thousand men and these cavalry?"

Now that Kong Qingzhi has laid his cards on the table, Chen Shan naturally doesn't need to be polite.

Since he was already intent on killing his opponent, Chen Shan felt no burden whatsoever.
