Chapter 1386 Hey! Take this from Old Qin!
"Speed up! Seize the frontline camp! We can't let the Golden Dog get there first!"
Qin Ming, the commander of the Thunderbolt Legion, took the lead and led his nearly 30,000 soldiers on a rapid march.
He was the vanguard of the army, and his main task was to seize the front-line positions!
"Master, should we go and check on Pengju's situation again?"
After years of honing his skills by Qin Ming's side, Huang Xin is now a top-tier expert!
"Didn't I just tell you to keep one group? You didn't?"
Qin Ming did not turn around, but stared intently at the boundless grassland in front of him.
"I left them behind to guard the prisoners he captured, as well as the reinforcements. I left two regiments behind."
Huang Xin responded.
"Two pictures? Huang Xin, you've struck it rich!"
Qin Ming turned his head and looked at Huang Xin with a somewhat amused and exasperated expression.
"This isn't because Pengju has commanded a battle involving thousands of people for the first time; it's for the sake of caution..."
Huang Xin said he was doing this to be on the safe side.
After hearing this, Qin Ming shook his head vigorously, like a rattle drum.
“Huang Xin, you are mistaken. The weapons and equipment of the Beiwei Army were all made and transported by Tang Long and his brother, who personally supervised the construction. Peng Ju also selected the most capable fighters in our Beiye Army to form an army. In addition, there are Zaixing and Niu Gao. What are you worried about? The strength of the Beiwei Army is even better than when our Thunderbolt Army was first formed!”
“Master, that’s true, but…”
Huang Xin said that he was just being concerned.
"Alright, instead of worrying about Pengju, you should worry about the situation we're about to face."
Qin Ming's tone became serious.
“Although we have 30,000 men, the opponents we will face are all cavalry. Moreover, the brothers of Tianmu said that the Jin Kingdom has also mobilized hundreds of thousands of men this time. So when we reach the designated position, we will likely encounter an even larger number of Jin vanguard troops.”
"Master, don't worry. Our Thunderbolt Army has trained for so many years. As long as we set up a defensive line in time after we arrive, we will definitely be able to hold out until the main force arrives!"
Huang Xin was very confident in his own legion. In his view, among all the brother units of Dayi, his own Thunderbolt Legion was definitely among the top.
"That would naturally be the best-case scenario."
Qin Ming's expression showed no sign of relief.
"The Jurchens aren't stupid either. In this battle, both sides have mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops. Although they are quite arrogant, they should be able to see that this is the final battle between our two countries."
"I'm worried that they've already sent people to the area ahead of time, waiting for us to arrive."
"Master, no way? Do the Jurchens even have brains like that?"
After fighting the Jurchens for so many years, Huang Xin felt that the Jurchens had a mysterious confidence on the grasslands. It was as if in their eyes, the Dayi cavalry was nothing, and as long as their Jurchen cavalry was there, they could sweep everything away!
"Don't underestimate them, keep going!"
Qin Ming had a feeling that this battle wouldn't be easy.
An unnamed grassland.
"Is this the battlefield His Majesty envisioned?"
A large contingent of elite cavalrymen rode in from the horizon, raising a cloud of dust.
These are 30,000 elite cavalrymen of the Jin Dynasty vanguard. Their only mission is to seize the front line of the battlefield and set up camp.
Commanding this vanguard were the three Xue Lihua brothers from the Jin Kingdom!
Although Xue Lihua Nan is dead, he still has three brothers: Xue Lihua Dong, Xue Lihua Xi, and Xue Lihua Bei. These three are also incredibly brave and are known as enemies of ten thousand men!
The four brothers originally served under Jin Wuzhu, but after the death of Xue Lihua in the last battle, the three brothers were eager to rush to Dayi to avenge their brother. Unfortunately, Jin Wuzhu was seriously injured, and the three brothers thought they would not have the chance to go on the expedition this time.
But when Jin Wuzhu learned that his father was personally leading the battle, he immediately asked his three brothers to volunteer to be the vanguard.
Wanyan Aguda took one look and said, "Hmm, three brothers. You want to avenge your brothers and your master. Fine, the vanguard will be the three of you!"
"Big brother! This time I must avenge third brother! Nobody stop me!"
Xue Lihua Bei is the youngest and most irritable of the four brothers.
"That's right, it's not just a grudge against my third brother, but also against His Highness!"
Xue Lihuaxi said that she not only wanted to avenge her third brother, but also to avenge Jin Wuzhu's eyes!
"Second brother, fourth brother, we must avenge our enemies, but our main task is to seize the front-line positions for the army. We must complete this first."
The eldest brother, Xue Lihua Dong, is the only one who still remembers the mission.
"Brother, as long as we kill all the enemies we encounter, won't the Emperor's mission be accomplished?"
"That's right, brother, don't be so rigid. As long as we kill all the enemies, the Emperor won't say anything!"
"Okay...that makes sense..."
Xuelihua thought about it and it didn't seem like there was a big problem.
"In that case, let's leave a small group behind to set up camp, and the rest of us will continue south!"
The three Xue Lihua brothers quickly devised a new plan: they left 5,000 men to set up camp here, while the rest continued their southward advance!
As long as we kill all the people of Dayi, the mission will still be accomplished!
Half an hour after the three brothers continued south, smoke and dust appeared on the horizon in their sight!
"Big brother! It's the enemy!"
The three Xue Lihua brothers immediately recognized them as enemies!
"That's right, it's the enemy! Brothers, let's go!"
……
"Master, how come there are enemies here? Have they crossed the battlefield?"
Qin Ming and Huang Xin also spotted the enemy, and Qin Ming's expression immediately turned cold.
They were already fast enough, but they were still about half an hour away from the designated battlefield. If they encountered the enemy at this point, it goes without saying that the designated battlefield had been occupied by the enemy.
"Huang Xin, prepare the entire army!"
Qin Ming weighed the spiked club in his hand; clearly, they were about to fight.
"Master, the enemy situation is unclear, this..."
"Huang Xin, you're good in every way, but sometimes you just lack a bit of courage."
Qin Ming looked at his apprentice, Huang Xin, who had been with him since Qingzhou. Huang Xin's strength was his steadiness, but his weakness was also his steadiness; in other words, he was not very willing to take risks.
"Protect me, let me deal with the enemy!"
Qin Ming patted his fiery red horse and led a squad of soldiers, all armed with spiked clubs, to charge out first!
"You traitorous general! Give me back my third brother's life!"
Xue Lihuabei was the most impatient. Seeing Qin Ming charge out, he spurred his horse, brandishing his sword, and led his men to charge forward! He brandished his broadsword and slashed horizontally at Qin Ming!
"Hey! Golden Dog! Take this from Old Qin!"
Seeing Xue Lihua Bei rushing towards him, Qin Ming sneered, "This arrogant brat, let your head become my military merit in this battle!"
"clang!!!"
A deafening crash! The broadsword in Xue Lihua Bei's hand was instantly deformed by Qin Ming's spiked club! A powerful force surged through his arms and into his body, violently churning his blood and qi! He could no longer hold back, and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"puff!"
Do you really think Qin Ming is just like Thunderbolt? You have to see who you're comparing him to! Even the original Qin Ming, as long as he's not up to the level of Shi Wengong, he can beat him!
Not to mention Qin Ming now, a half-step master, he fears no one as long as the two war gods of the Wanyan family don't come!
