I really can’t bear to open this chapter, so I uploaded it together. I won’t post it tomorrow. I would like to explain it here.
Tan Ji was highly valued by the General Long Tingfei. He was pulled out of the grass and personally taught the art of war and tactics. It was not easy for the common people to become a general. He was a lonely man and was not close to his colleagues. The general drank every swallow.
General, in order to boost morale, be careful not to follow him reluctantly, but not drink a drop of wine, one person is in the corner, and the whole house is unhappy. After several times, the general will also suffer from it, and he has no choice but to send him. Be careful of being very strict and violating military laws.
, although warriors will be killed, so the troops are well-trained and well-organized, and they will not be afraid of sacrifice in every battle. The military power is so great that it is rare in the world. Be careful that although you have a high position, you will not change the old simplicity, and you will not like to give gifts. Every time you get a reward,
They are all given to the subordinates, so although they are strict and tough, they are all willing to die.
Ji's parents and clan members all died in the war. Ji hates him deeply. Every time he goes to war, he will kill heavily. He often kills prisoners and disturbs the people. The general refuses to listen to his advice. However, his military use is quite lawful. The Yong people are afraid, so the general can't
Restrain them. They should not be handsome, have a miserable life experience, and are often ashamed, so they are covered with a bronze ghost face. They are puzzled all day long. Everyone calls him "Ghost Face General", and he is used as a bodyguard. He is feared by both our enemies and superiors.

——"History of the Northern Han Dynasty - Biography of Tan Ji"
Goshawks fly across the sky, the wilderness is blue, the grass is long, the Qinshui is whimpering, and the desolate eagle calls make people feel the loneliness of life. Tan Ji rode his horse and stood on the bank of the Qinhe River, his eyes full of coldness and frost.
Several scouts came over on flying horses and prostrated themselves on the ground. One of them said loudly: "General, the enemy's heavy baggage camp is built on the temple slope. The grain and grass are piled up like mountains. The east camp of the big baggage camp spans the Qinshui River, and the west camp spans the Shili River.
, the rear camp is only three miles away from Qiufengdu where the two rivers meet. There are four pontoon bridges on the Qinshui River and three pontoon bridges on the Shili River. There are more than a thousand navy ships in Qiufengdu, which can transport several days of grain, grass and baggage at a time. The baggage is important in the camp.
The army was fighting under the banner of Jing Chi, with a total of 10,000 cavalry and 20,000 infantry."
Tan Ji did not say anything, but just made a gesture. A guard who also wore a bronze mask and stood beside him, one of the thirty-six riders, said loudly: "The general orders you to retreat."
Several scouts breathed a sigh of relief at the same time and retreated respectfully. Facing Tan Ji, few of them could be calm and composed.
After he retreated, Tan Jihan said in a cold voice: "Luo Meng, tell me why a dignified general was placed in the baggage camp. Jing Chi was already one of the top cavalry generals in Dayong, but he was left idle in the baggage camp.
Camp, the King of Qi did not do this when he was in charge of the military. How could this happen if Emperor Yong's confidants were placed in charge of supervising the army?"
The guard hesitated for a moment and said: "General, there is no power dispute. Although the King of Qi has high power, this Jing Chi is obviously a nail sent by Emperor Yong. If the King of Qi leaves him idle, wouldn't he be blatantly arguing with his imperial brother?
Now that someone has changed to restrain King Qi, Jing Chi is no longer important. Naturally, he will take advantage of this moment to attack him. In this world, how many people will care about whether their subordinates are loyal or traitorous?
Thick coins, when not in use, discard them like tattered shoes. When the general was seriously injured in an assassination, wasn't it because someone took the opportunity to embarrass the general? But I didn't see the general standing up for you."
This guard was the one who had followed Tan Ji the longest among the thirty-six riders, so he was naturally a confidant, so he dared to speak out. After hearing this, Tan Ji was neither angry nor surprised, and said calmly: "The human situation is like this, and there is nothing to say."
It can be said that the great general has treated me with great kindness, and I won't allow you to be belittle it. General Shi is just outspoken and can't understand my methods, but he is not deliberately going against me. You are not allowed to say such things in the future."
The guard quickly agreed, but then asked: "I don't know how the general plans to attack the enemy's camp. Jing Chi is also a strong enemy like us. If we are not careful, we may lose but not win."
Tan Ji smiled coldly and said: "A reckless person must be dissatisfied, so what should I fear? I already have a plan. The enemy relies on water transportation to transport their baggage. This is a good thing, but it is a pity that it was also given to me."
An opportunity to take advantage of. Let’s look at my method of letting the enemy’s heavy supplies of food and grass turn into ashes. I want to see if they have any way to continue fighting. This is because they want a big war. Otherwise, how could they set up a large military camp in
Although Miaopo is convenient for transportation, its defense is not as good as that of a city with high ditches and deep fortresses. Luo Meng, pass on my order to summon the lieutenant colonels of the army and prepare for battle."
Luo Meng was overjoyed. He knew that the general's clever calculations rarely failed. This time, he achieved great success, while Quartz lost his troops last time. He and others could wash away the humiliation of being suppressed by Quartz and others in the past few years. Although
The general didn't care, but he saw the rejection and indifference of those people, so Luo Meng hurriedly went down to deliver the order, preparing to follow the general to defeat the enemy again and make meritorious deeds.
The night was dark, and the lights were brightly lit in the main camp of Yong's army. In the central army tent, the person sitting in the position of the general was not Jing Chi, but the King of Qi who had changed into ordinary green armor. This time in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Northern Han Dynasty secret spies.
, the King of Qi and his bodyguards all changed their armor to ordinary soldiers, and 20,000 cavalry were hidden in the large baggage camp. On the surface, there were only 20,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry, but in fact there were 20,000 infantry.
Thirty thousand cavalrymen set up tents in the camp. These heavy cavalrymen hid in the tents and took turns to show their faces, thus hiding it from the eyes of the Northern Han army.
Jing Chi, who was sitting at the bottom, said excitedly: "Your Highness, none of the scouts we sent out came back immediately. It seems that Tan Ji has indeed arrived. Sir, you have a clever plan. If you can capture Tan Ji alive this time, not only will Long Tingfei lose his left and right arms, but also
It can boost the morale of the army. Tan Ji has been wreaking havoc in Zezhou for many years. If he is cut into pieces, it can also eliminate the boiling resentment among the people.
Li Xian smiled and said: "I don't know if I can capture him alive. I heard that this man is stern and strong in nature. He is as cunning as a fox when he leads the army in battle. Many ruthless people are afraid of death themselves. I hope this Tan Ji will not let me
Disappointed." The two were chatting. At this time, suddenly there was an uproar from the soldiers outside the camp. Within a moment, someone entered the account and reported: "Your Highness, General Jing, someone lowered a fire ship from the upper reaches of Qinshui River and moved the Qinshui pontoon bridge and the two sides of the Qinshui River.
The baggage was all set on fire. There were more than a thousand Northern Han troops fighting in front of the camp."
Li Xian was shocked and said: "It's indeed here, Jing Chi, just follow the plan."
Jing Chi stood up and bowed, strode out of the tent, and said loudly: "Bring me my weapons quickly, I want to see who dares to go against me."
Li Xian smiled slightly and said to Zhuang Jun, the guard beside him: "Get ready, we will wait until General Jing leads away the enemy troops before leaving the camp." Zhuang Jun showed joy on his face and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, we have been ready for a long time.
I'm just waiting to go into battle to kill the enemy, but I've been very depressed these days." Then he turned around and went out of the tent to deliver orders.
Tan Ji saw Dayong riding out of the camp from a distance, with thousands of horses galloping and majestic. He couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that such generals and horses are allowed to guard the baggage." Fu sneered again:
"I want to see if the generals who usually charge into battle can hold on to the camp." After that, he waved his hand and led the guards around him to greet Dayong's army. When the distance between the two armies was less than a hundred steps, the North
The Han army suddenly changed direction, avoided the sharp edge of the Yong army, and forced it from the flank. Tan Ji led thirty-six cavalry into the Yong army's formation. This cavalry under his command was the best sprinting force among the Northern Han army.
, while Chang Ge was swinging, flesh and blood flew everywhere, while the cavalry behind them used powerful crossbows to shoot in all directions, shaking the Dayong army formation. Jing Chi brought out 7,000 cavalry, and Tan Ji led his own troops to charge.
After fighting for a while, he tore through the heavy cavalry defense line and fled into the distance with great force. Jing Chi was ashamed and angry, so he led his sergeants to rescue the baggage. Although it only affected some camps on the shore, the losses were considerable. After reorganizing until the afternoon,
However, a fire boat floated down from the Shili River. This time Yong's army was prepared for it, but it was still disgraced. Jing Chi rode his horse and stood at the gate of the camp, pointed at the sky, and scolded Tan Ji until he was completely naked. This
At that time, Tan Ji came with more than a thousand soldiers to fight.
Jing Chi was furious and was about to leave the camp with his iron cavalry. At this time, a civil servant in military uniform came to stop him and admonished him: "General, the enemy only challenged with one part. This is clearly to lure the enemy. General, please be careful."
Jing Chi cursed loudly: "It doesn't matter if the enemy has backup. We 30,000 people were teased by these thousands of people. If the news spread, wouldn't it mean that we have no one in Dayong? Besides, I only led the cavalry out of the camp to pursue us."
Kill, can't 20,000 infantry still defend the camp?" After saying that, he led the cavalry out of the camp and left.
This time when the two armies first met, Dayong's army showed strong combat power. The Northern Han army suffered heavy losses for a while. Tan Ji saw the disparity in strength and retreated with his own soldiers. This time Jing Chi refused to give up.
He risked his life in pursuit. Tan Ji led his personal guards to cut off the rear, and then chased and escaped for dozens of miles. Although Tan Ji had a small number, he was the best among the best. The Northern Han army also had light cavalry and was steady.
The general Jing Chi's army kept a stone's throw away. If Jing Chi's army got close, he would use his bows and crossbows to force them back. Jing Chi was also proficient in cavalry warfare, so he simply followed behind without delay. As long as the Northern Han army in front was
If you relax even a little bit, you will attack the enemy in one fell swoop. The two sides are chasing and escaping like this, but it is a stalemate.
After chasing for less than half an hour, Tan Ji had already reached the upper shore of Qinshui River. Here, the Northern Han army had set up several pontoon bridges. Tan Ji gave an order and led the troops to withdraw to the west bank of Qinshui River. Tan Ji was furious and ordered
Said: "Catch up with me, don't let them destroy the pontoon bridge."
More than a thousand people crossed the pontoon bridge in just a moment. On the opposite bank was a hill. Seeing the Northern Han army turning behind the hill, Jing Chi was even more anxious, but a pontoon bridge was really too big for the nearly 10,000 Dayong cavalry.
It was not enough. He was anxious and did not care about waiting. Jing Chi led his troops to pursue him first. Turning around the hills, he saw seven thousand Northern Han Qingqi with bright armor. Tan Ji, who galloped up to the top of the hills, jumped on his horse.
Chang Ge and trumpets sounded. In an instant, Jing Chi and more than a thousand personal guards and cavalry were surrounded. Tan Ji divided his troops into two groups, half to surround Jing Chi, and half to block the reinforcements behind him. With the advantage of the geographical location at the corner of the hill, he blocked them all
The cavalry behind.
Luo Meng said excitedly: "I thought Jing Chi would send a vanguard to explore the way first, but I didn't expect that he would actually lead the army himself, which gave me a big advantage."
Tan Ji said coldly: "Be careful. If something goes wrong, it will be a monster. Be careful that we are the ones who fall into the trap."
Luo Meng smiled and said: "General, you are overly worried. Jing Chi must have been ignored. Your Excellency put down the fire boat twice, and he suffered a lot. If the King of Qi pursues him in the future, he will definitely be blamed. No wonder he
So angry, and besides, Jing Chi is a brave general, but I have never heard that he is good at resourcefulness. Hasn't the general checked it out a long time ago? Although he had great military exploits in the past, he was never the first to rush to the front, although there seemed to be someone under his command who was good at defense.
He is a general, but at this time, even if that person comes together, I am afraid he will have to stay behind to guard."
Tan Ji said indifferently: "Don't be careless. Moreover, although our army set fire to the ship and burned several camps, they set up fire prevention devices between the camps. In fact, the losses were not as heavy as they seemed. Jing Chi almost brought out
Although all the cavalry are in line with his style, I always feel a little strange.
At this time, Jing Chi was covered in blood, and he led his troops to break through the interception of the Northern Han army. After the horn sounded, the blocked Yong army retreated to the east bank of Qinshui like a tide. Tan Ji couldn't help but frown.
He said: "It's no wonder Jing Chi is so reckless, but he turns out to be so powerful. Well, let's go after Jing Chi. He is alone now. We must take the opportunity to get rid of him." After that, Tan Ji ordered people to destroy the pontoon bridge and cut off the east bank.
It is possible that Dayong's reinforcements attacked from behind, and then pursued Jingchi.
After chasing for a hundred miles, Tan Ji had grasped the direction of Jing Chi's escape under the guidance of his scouts, but he was preparing to return to the main transport camp in a roundabout way. Tan Ji could not help but have the idea of victory in his heart. If he could capture Jing Chi, this would
It was no small feat. After half a day of pursuit, the scouts reported that the reinforcements from the Northern Han Dynasty had become headless flies and were unable to help Jing Chi at all. Tan Ji was overjoyed and pursued him even more closely. He
The terrain on the west bank of Qinshui River was already very familiar. Under his constant division of troops to intercept, Jing Chi was gradually trapped in a small area. However, Tan Ji frowned. This place was only more than ten miles away from the main baggage camp on the east bank of Qinshui River.
, although the pontoon bridge has been destroyed, it will not be possible to transport soldiers across the bridge in half a day. However, Tan Ji is still worried that there will be an accident, but the idea of capturing Jing Chi is becoming more and more likely to be realized. Tan Ji
He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Even if such bait is poisonous, I can't bear to give it up." After thinking about it carefully, there were not many Dayong generals who were stronger than Jing Chi. If Dayong placed the two generals in the rear,
Then he admitted that he had fallen into a trap. Now that he was determined, Tan Ji ordered to concentrate all his efforts to encircle and annihilate Jing Chi.
Reaching out to wipe the blood and sweat from his face, Jing Chi looked distressedly at the few hundred pro-army soldiers left around him, and thought to himself, if the King of Qi wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, he would probably succeed. At this time, he can't see it yet
When the reinforcements came, Jing Chi was a little suspicious of King Qi. Then he thought about it, even if King Qi had intentions, he would not harm the overall situation. He took the lead and rushed towards the intercepting Northern Han army in front, shouting loudly to boost the morale of the pro-army troops.
Tan Ji stood on a high place and looked at Yong's army struggling under heavy siege. He felt happy in his heart. If a man is alive and can't kill with pleasure, then what fun is there in living?
At this time, Tan Ji suddenly saw smoke and dust billowing from the corner of his eyes in the direction of the main baggage camp. He couldn't help but be moved. The distance was too close. If he sent scouts there, he was afraid that he would be killed by the enemy before he had time to report back. He quickly ordered people to send falcons to check.
Enemy situation. After a while, the smoke and dust got closer and closer. Tan Ji did not see the goshawk returning, but the smoke and dust did not disperse. He guessed that it was enemy reinforcements arriving. Tan Ji was shocked. The enemy had crossed the river so quickly, unless it was early.
Being prepared, Jing Chi started to build a bridge to cross the river after going out to fight. It seemed that he had fallen into a trap. Jing Chi had backup. However, Tan Ji quickly calmed down and thought to himself, the enemy army will arrive in an instant, and Jing Chi still has hundreds of people.
The warriors followed each other, and their momentum continued unabated. If he still wanted to capture Jing Chi, he would definitely be taken advantage of by the enemy. It would be better to form an arrow formation and fight at the risk of his life. If he could defeat the enemy's center, he would be safe.
Go and suppress the enemy's arrogance. Even if you cannot kill the enemy's general and attack the enemy's center, you can also make the enemy unprepared and have more chances to break through. Although it is dangerous, it is only possible in this way.
There was a glimmer of hope. He did what he thought of, and Tan Ji immediately ordered the army to assemble. Although the Northern Han army did not understand why the general ordered to withdraw from the siege when the enemy was in danger, but Tan Ji always had strict military orders, and they did not dare to delay.
They formed a front arrow formation. As soon as the formation was set up, the deafening sound of horse hooves was clearly visible. In the billowing smoke, the red-armored Dayong cavalry were like tigers, horses and dragons, surrounded by a Golden Dragon King flag, with two wings stretched out, and there was a faint general in the north.
The Han army was encircling the enemy. However, the King of Qi ordered his subordinates to change into their own clothes and armor to complete the final blow.
When they got close, the cavalry did not rest for a moment, and rushed towards the Northern Han army in overwhelming force. Tan Ji shouted: "Life or death depends on this, follow me." After saying that, he rushed towards Dayong's army first. He was smart.
As soon as people saw Wang Qi, they knew that something absolutely unexpected had happened. King Qi was not sitting in the main army, so this place was definitely a trap. Although he didn't understand why King Qi would sacrifice his own strength to deal with his partial army.
But Tan Ji knew that if he didn't fight to the death, he would never leave this place alive.
Li Xian looked at Jing Chi who was covered in blood and couldn't help but said apologetically: "It's all my fault. If I hadn't wanted to keep Tan Ji's elite soldiers together, I wouldn't have let General Jing be surrounded."
Jing Chi collapsed on his horse weakly, and after a while he said: "Your Highness, don't forget to give the bottle of royal wine that the emperor rewarded to the last general."
Li Xian laughed, and Jing Chi couldn't help but laugh. All the barriers between the two disappeared in this smile.
At this time, Jing Chi saw behind King Qi a strange-looking young man wearing ordinary green armor and a white war robe. The man had a silver bow hanging on his left shoulder. He was handsome, with a cold and arrogant expression, and eyes like lightning, but he was very powerful and outstanding.
He couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, which general is this?"
Li Xian smiled and said: "This is Duanmu Qiu, a guest from my palace. Jin Gong's eldest grandson, Emei Qingshan, Yin Gong Duanmu, and Hongzhuang Rakshasa. He is Yin Gong Duanmu. He just came from the capital to see me a few days ago.
I thought that the falcons of the Northern Han Dynasty were very annoying, so I let him stay. It was he who shot the two black eagles just now. Although Duanmu is not good at military strategy, when it comes to archery, he is not as good as Changsun Jizhi.
Down."
Jing Chi and Duan Muqiu saw this and thought to themselves that it would be a pity for such a person not to join the army. At this time, Tan Ji and his thirty-six cavalry actually broke through many obstacles and were about to rush to the central army. Jing Chi's heart
He tensed up and said: "Your Highness, order the two wings to come to the rescue."
Li Xian shook his head and said: "Although we have more people, the enemy is brave. If we relax the siege and let him take the opportunity to rush out, all the previous efforts will be wasted. Besides, isn't the king's personal guard inferior to the cavalry of the Northern Han Dynasty?
?" He said the last two sentences loudly. The guards of King Qi who heard it were all ashamed and angry, and even risked their lives to fight. For a while, even the thirty-sixth cavalry, which was the best at sprinting, could hardly move.
.
When Tan Ji saw this situation, he seemed to be back in the same situation when he saw his parents and relatives being slaughtered, but he could only hide behind the rocks and watch helplessly. The humiliation and heartache of wanting to die immediately made him unable to control himself.
He shouted loudly: "My lords, we have forged countless blood feuds with Dayong. If we are captured by the enemy, we will not be able to pay for our sins even if we are cut into pieces with thousands of swords. If we fight to death, we can avoid falling into the hands of the enemy and suffering humiliation."
." After saying this, he did not dodge the horse spear that was stabbing him from the opposite side. He stretched out his hand and clamped the horse spear tightly under his arm. He cut off the head of the Dayong sergeant with one blow, and then stretched out his hand to lift the man to his horse.
He hung Chang Ge on the horse, then raised the body of the man high with both hands, and shouted: "There are enemies but no one, fight to the death for survival." Then he used his hands hard to tear the body into two pieces, blood and internal organs splashed down, and Tan
Ji's body was dyed blood red. The Yong army was in an uproar, but the Northern Han army aroused all the ferocity in their hearts. They followed Tan Ji, broke through the obstacles in front of them, and cut into the middle army.
Jing Chi's heart tightened, and he quickly tightened his grip on the horse's shaft, but felt that his hands and feet were weak. At this time, King Qi had already laughed loudly, and rode his horse to meet him. The guards on the left and right rushed after him, trying to protect King Qi. However,
King Qi's horse was fast, but he had already met the leader of the Northern Han army's spear formation - Tan Ji.
Tan Ji was charging smoothly at first, but he felt that someone suddenly grabbed Chang Ge. He looked up and saw that the man was wearing golden armor and a fiery battle robe. He could not be anyone else except King Qi. Thinking of killing this man,
The enemy army was bound to be in chaos. Tan Ji couldn't help but be shocked and launched his killing moves. The ghost cavalry around him also surrounded him, determined to kill the enemy's general at the risk of his life. However, Qi King Li Xian also practiced martial arts for many years and was taught by famous teachers.
After many battles, his martial arts skills were not inferior to Tan Ji's, and there were many warriors around him. As soon as King Qi came out, they also followed him. After a bloody battle between the two sides, Tan Ji's offensive was temporarily contained. If
It doesn't matter in normal battles, but now that the Northern Han Army has fallen into a tight encirclement, the result is different. Taking advantage of the opportunity that the Front Arrow Formation was temporarily blocked, the other Yong Army stepped up their offensive, and the formations on the flanks and rear of the Northern Han Army gradually became scattered.
Within a moment, the Yong Army's cavalry swarmed up to take over King Qi's position and completely surrounded the Northern Han Army.
Li Xian, who retreated under the banner, took a deep breath of cold air. After so many years of fighting the enemy, although due to his status as a prince, he did not face many dangerous situations, he also had to wander on the edge of life and death. However,
The moment Tan Ji and his ghost cavalry attacked him fiercely, Li Xian still truly felt what a matter of life and death was. He looked at Jing Chi gratefully, but just now Jing Chi did not rush to save people, but quickly ordered reinforcements
He stopped the offensive and gave Li Xian a chance to retreat. Looking at Tan Ji and others who were still struggling, Li Xian not only lost his anger, but also gained a little appreciation. It is not that he has not seen fierce generals over the years, but people like Tan Ji
It is rare to see such a brave and strategic general as Ji. If the Northern Han army had not made a wrong step at the beginning, they would not have had the chance to trap this man. After a while, the cavalry under Jing Chi finally
Even if they arrived, they joined the battlefield and finally confirmed Dayong's victory. Although the Northern Han army had formed a circular formation to defend, without reinforcements, defeat would be a matter of time and the overall situation was determined.
After fighting for a long time, the sky was getting dark. Li Xian was worried that Tan Ji would break out at night, so he called in infantry and lit torches everywhere to illuminate the battlefield. There were only 3,000 Northern Han troops left. Li Xian
Xian Geng controlled the rhythm of the attack and was unwilling to destroy the opportunity to completely annihilate the enemy. The remnants of the Northern Han Army set up a defensive circular formation, while the Dayong Army also set up a circular formation outside, full of waste.
The life of the Northern Han Army. The siege circle was getting smaller and smaller. Li Xian even ordered the Yong Army to take turns to go into battle. The Northern Han Army was not allowed to rest and became more and more exhausted. As soon as the circular formation was broken, the entire army would be destroyed. But in Tan
Under the command of Ji, this Northern Han army actually has not lost its combat effectiveness.
Standing in the center of the formation, Tan Ji's lips were chapped, and there were only seventeen ghost riders left around him. There had never been such a disastrous defeat since he led the army. But he saw frustration and worry in his eyes, just as usual.
Indifferent and indifferent. These Northern Han troops are inherently brave. Although they are on the verge of despair, they and Dayong have a deep hatred. Although they fight on the battlefield and die without any resentment, they are different. They died at their hands.
There are countless Dayong civilians in the army. Historically, the sergeants under Tan Ji fell into the hands of the Yong army, and almost had no choice but to die. But now they can't feel any resentment towards Tan Ji in their hearts, even though it was this man who took the lead in attacking those who made them absolutely hopeless.
However, these soldiers also understood that only under Tan Ji's command could they accumulate enough gold and silver in just a few years. Although they died on the battlefield, their families had enough gold and silver to survive
For the sake of their families, they had no choice but to fight to the end. As long as the Northern Han Dynasty was saved in the end, their families would be safe. This belief made them have no desire to survive even though they were in a desperate situation.
Li Xian was filled with admiration and said: "Such an iron army still refuses to surrender. It is really rare. Even I, Dayong, rarely have such cavalry. Jing Chi, what do you think of my surrender?"
Jing Chi hesitated for a moment and said, "Tan Ji is deeply hated by Dayong's army and people, and he is afraid that it would be inappropriate for him to surrender."
Li Xian thought for a while and said: "I also know some things, and you don't need to be taboo. Tan Ji and Dayong really have a deep hatred. Not to mention the death of his parents and relatives, he has killed people in Zezhou and Zhenzhou over the years.
Ru Ma also has a lot of blood debts, but I really cherish his talents. If he is willing to surrender, the most I can do is transfer him to the south."
At this point, Li Xian raised his voice and said loudly: "Tan Ji, you are already in danger of death. If you are willing to surrender, I promise not to hurt your life, and even your subordinates can be spared. I
The king’s words are like a mountain, are you willing to think about it?”
His voice contained inner strength. Although the battlefield was very chaotic, everyone could hear it clearly. The Yong army also temporarily slowed down its offensive at the signal of the generals.
Tan Ji heard clearly, and the guards around him heard hoarse laughter coming from behind the bronze mask. Not long after, he loudly said: "As a general of the Northern Han Dynasty, Tan Ji was deeply favored by General Long."
, Although we are defeated today, we only have to die. Your Majesty, don’t worry, Tan Ji has already sworn that he will never be humiliated again."
Li Xian said loudly: "Even if you don't care about your life, don't you care about the lives of your soldiers?"
Tan Ji smiled again after hearing this. He knew that Li Xian took the opportunity to demoralize the Northern Han army. Unexpectedly, the King of Qi was really cautious. Even at such a time, he did not forget to demoralize the enemy. He slowly looked around and said with a smile:
"You are all citizens of the Northern Han Dynasty. If there is anyone who wants to surrender, you may as well speak up, as long as I will not stop you from trying to survive." After hearing this, everyone knew that he did not want to deceive the unstable people into killing them.
This was something Tan Ji never bothered to do. After a while, everyone said in unison: "I am willing to die with the general."
Tan Ji sighed, his eyes fell on the shortest ghost knight, and said: "Ling Duan, you are only seventeen years old this year. Your two brothers were both my ghost knights, but unfortunately they both died on the battlefield.
"Sir, half a year ago, if you weren't really outstanding in martial arts and asked for help, I wouldn't have had the heart to select you into the Ghost Cavalry. If you wanted to surrender, I wouldn't blame you." The Ghost Cavalry quickly jumped off the horse and knelt on the ground.
, took off the bronze mask, revealing a handsome and childlike face, and cried: "Why did the general say this? We brothers have been homeless since childhood, without a father or a mother. If the general hadn't taught us martial arts, everyone would still be able to bully us.
I am a beggar who is willing to die with the general. Please don’t say such words again.”
When Tan Ji heard this, he felt warm in his heart. His heart, which had been as cold as ice since the death of his parents and relatives, also felt a little warm. He said lightly: "Get up, I won't chase you away." Seeing the young man wiping away his tears.
, put on the mask and jump on the horse.
Tan Ji raised his head to the sky, raised his palms and sang: "The sky is unkind, so chaos will arise; the earth is unkind, so smoke will rise; relatives and parents will turn into dust, and there will be nothing to do if the ambition is broken and the heart is broken; although resentment will be repaid, hatred will never end, but the king's kindness will be great
Death is also difficult; killing people fills the wilderness and I don’t regret it; bleeding and rowing are so lifeless; you hold a crossbow and I hold a gun, and I drive and ride and you follow me; the water is cold and I bury my body, but I go to hell and my mind is peaceful; life and death
Be generous and generous without fear, but my heart breaks when I meet someone from the past!"
At first, all the troops just sang together with each other, but later they also sang together. The vigorous and sad songs echoed and circled between the heaven and the earth. The murderous aura rose among the Northern Han army, and everyone's face looked like they were ready to die.
Seeing this scene, Li Xian didn't need to ask any more questions. He just sighed and gave the order: "Kill to death." For soldiers who deserved respect, the only way to express his respect was to let them die in battle with honor.
Under the cover of fire, the Dayong cavalry pushed towards the Northern Han army. At this time, the dark clouds in the sky cleared away, and the bright moon and stars ruthlessly reflected the cruel battlefield. Watching the final battle of the Northern Han army.
