As night falls, a famous cavalry soldier is eating horse meat by the campfire.
This horse meat is a rare delicacy for soldiers.
Because every horse is very precious to the military camp. To put it bluntly, it is more valuable than human life.
Not to mention that the horse meat they are eating now is still a war horse.
Under normal circumstances, when they are in Shangjun, they can only have the opportunity to eat horse meat if they win a battle with the Zhao army, and the quantity is still very small. After all, the ferocity of the Zhao soldiers is unmatched by other vassal states, and they can eat it.
There are not many opportunities for horsemeat.
“It smells so good!”
“Delicious, hot, hot, hot!”
Today's victory, a famous soldier's face is filled with joy, and with the opportunity to eat horse meat, a famous soldier's face is extremely satisfied.
Around a campfire.
Chai and others took the horse meat and roasted it on the charcoal fire.
Smelling the fragrance, Chai and the other cavalry generals couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Bai Yan took the roasted horse meat in his hand and took a bite. This was the first time in this world that he tasted the taste of horse meat.
Listening to the excited words of the soldiers around him, and seeing the joy on each soldier's face, Bai Yan's eyes were a little complicated.
"Yan, don't think too much."
Chai looked at Bai Yan and said softly.
Today Chai saw that after Bai Yan saw the corpses of the soldiers, there was no smile on his face anymore. He knew what Bai Yan was thinking. After all, he had been with Bai Yan for so long, how could he not know Bai Yan's character?
Chai could understand Bai Yan. When he led fifty soldiers to fight for the first time, after the war, he felt uncomfortable for a long time when he looked at the corpses of more than thirty soldiers.
"Um!"
Bai Yan looked at Chai, wanting to say something, but didn't.
Today was the first time he led troops, and he saw with his own eyes more than a hundred soldiers died in battle because of his decision.
He had thought about this day before, how could there be immortality in a war? Compassion could not lead an army!
When he was in Yangcheng, he could look at the corpses of other Korean soldiers indifferently, but now, these soldiers all trust him.
"After eating, take a nap first!"
When Chai and other generals saw Bai Yan's appearance, they knew that they had to let Bai Yan get used to it slowly.
The longer they stay in contact with Bai Yan and the better they understand him, the more they feel that Bai Yan is really different from other nobles and is too kind.
Under the dark night, with the bright moon in the sky, after a good meal, a famous cavalry soldier lay down by the campfire, looked at the stars in the sky, and fell asleep.
Bai Yan was wearing the Qin sword and was not in a hurry to sleep. Instead, when he saw that the bonfire needed more firewood, he took a piece of dead wood and added it. As the bonfire became strong again, he turned and left.
Bai Yan didn't pay attention to the gazes of the soldiers standing guard, nor did he pay attention to the cavalry soldiers lying down and looking at him with their eyes open.
For Bai Yan, when he was in Linzi, Qi State, he was an expert at staying up late and was used to going to bed late and getting up early.
Right now, one of the few things he could do for the soldiers was to let them have a good night's sleep after having enough food.
Until late at night.
Bai Yan came under a boulder and looked up at the sky.
Since coming to Qin, he has experienced far more things than Qi. The first time he traveled thousands of miles, the first time he went to the Bai family alone, the first time he joined the army, and the first time he killed someone.
Bai Yan looked at the stars in the sky and thought of General Fei with whom he had an agreement, General Yu who was loyal to his family, Gui who died in battle, and Bai Yu who was poisoned.
"The one who has changed has always been me!"
Bai Yan murmured, and he found that as one thing happened after another, while he was adapting to everything, he was also forced to change.
He was a little worried about whether his parents, eldest brother, and grandmother would recognize him as Yan'er when they saw him in the future!
Thinking of this, Bai Yan held Qin Jian in his arms and looked at the bright moon in the sky.
His parents must have thought that he was still in Yicheng, following Ling Shi.
It's about to dawn.
Along with the Sishui River, some water mist began to fill the air.
Bai Yan leaned against the boulder, hugged Qin Jian, and slowly opened his eyes.
A cavalry soldier who stood guard in the middle of the night also woke up other sleeping soldiers.
After all the cavalry soldiers woke up, they hurriedly ate the horse meat prepared last night.
After Bai Yan finished his breakfast, he came to a war horse, took off his armor, and replaced it with a Korean armor.
Along with Bai Yan, there were more than a hundred cavalry soldiers. All of these more than a hundred cavalry soldiers retired from Qin Jia and replaced them with Han Jia.
Use his methods to retaliate against others. In the past, Han soldiers used Qin armor to attack.
Naturally, they responded with Korean armor.
The sky slowly turned white.
Bai Yan, wearing Korean armor, led an army of cavalry and marched toward Chenggao downstream of Si River.
Most of the Korean soldiers in the three cities of Wanfeng, Guangwu, and Xingyang had already died in Fuxi Mountain. Since he was determined to go north to capture the city, Bai Yan did not rush to Wanfeng, but decided to capture the remaining threatening Chengdu first.
Gao.
In order to avoid accidents, the news leaked.
After massacring the Korean camp yesterday, he led the cavalry army to come to Chenggao without stopping.
On the official road ten miles away from Chenggao, two Korean soldiers were holding horses and chatting.
Suddenly, they heard the sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance, and there were quite a few of them. There should be about a hundred cavalry. The two looked at each other, full of doubts, and quickly mounted their horses.
When Qin invaded Korea, they did not dare to be careless at this time. If anything went wrong, they would immediately turn around and run back to Chenggao.
Boom boom boom~!
"It's our Han Qi!"
"I just said, how could Qin come here!"
When they saw more than a hundred cavalry riding horses from a distance, all wearing Korean armor and holding Korean flags, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. They were not Qin's cavalry!
Only then did the two of them feel that they were being careless. Now the Qin army was busy attacking the new city, and the Qin cavalry was protecting Qin's food and grass supplies. How could they appear here?
"Who are you?"
A Korean soldier saw the cavalry army gradually approaching, so he rode forward on horseback, raised his hands to stop them, and wanted to ask.
But the next moment.
The Korean soldier's pupils shrank, and he opened his mouth when he looked at the Han soldiers who didn't stop at all, with a look of horror on his face.
When he realized something was wrong, he was about to turn around and leave. The next moment.
Boom boom boom~!
Qiang~Qiang!
Amidst the dense sound of iron hoofs, the sounds of swords being drawn suddenly sounded.
Accompanied by more than a hundred Han knight soldiers, they flew past.
After a while.
There were only two empty war horses next to the two corpses.
The corpses of two Korean soldiers were lying on the ground, with their eyes open and blood dripping from their necks.
Chenggao City.
Because the city is beside the Sishui River, Chenggao, like Xincheng, also has a moat, and there is only a wooden bridge leading to the city gate.
Once a war comes, the wooden bridge will be destroyed to delay the enemy's attack. When the enemy fills the river, the Korean soldiers can shoot arrows at the enemy on the city wall and kill the enemy.
At the city gate, a dozen Korean soldiers were checking the people and some merchants entering and exiting.
"Where to go?"
"What's in it?"
A Han soldier asked the people going in and out. When he saw some women, he couldn't help but take a second look.
At this time.
A Korean soldier suddenly heard a sound and turned his head to look. Then he saw more than a hundred cavalry appearing in the distance, rushing towards Chen Chi.
Seeing that the number of cavalry was small, the Han soldiers did not want to destroy the wooden bridge. And they gradually saw clearly that the cavalry in the distance were all Han cavalry soldiers, and they also carried Korean flags.
See the situation.
All the famous Korean soldiers on the tower lowered their guard.
Under the city tower, the leader of the Han soldiers slowly stepped forward, looking at the cavalry of more than a hundred people who were gradually approaching, and was about to reach out to stop them.
Bai Yan must be kind, and the cavalry is also changing.
