No one knew how terrifying the war was a hundred years ago, and no one knew how much they had paid to win the war. The price was beyond everyone's imagination.
Cavalry could travel thousands of miles without fear. On the plains, they were the nemesis of other troops. They were invincible and invincible. This was a theory that could withstand the test of history. However, on the plains near the Yellow River, this eternal theory was broken by infantry.
An army of nearly thirty thousand cavalrymen, one man and two cavalrymen, swept through countless races on the grasslands. They grew up in the flames of war, but they were defeated by the Ming army, which only had ten thousand people. Of course, they had underestimated the enemy, but in the end, their thirty thousand cavalrymen were defeated by a group of farm men who had just put down their hoes and picked up their weapons.
Out of the 30,000 strong army, only 10,000 or so abandoned their weapons and fled back to the plains. The rest died on the battlefield, and the Ming army only lost a centaur.
If it wasn't for the corrupt officials in the court behind the Ming army seducing the fighters and embezzling the army's pay and rations, the Qing Dynasty would never have been able to break through the line of defense in front of the Yellow River. They might even have been destroyed by the Ming army.
"Banner Lord, does that mean that Lin Feng is going to be born again? If that's really the case, should we stop him?”A ghost rider holding a blue battle flag said unwillingly to the ghost general beside him with a solemn expression.
"What's the use of saying anything now? If I had known earlier that Lin Feng wasn't an ordinary person, I wouldn't have overestimated myself and brought you all here to fight.”
The ghost general stared blankly at the blood-colored wolf that was faintly discernible in the blood-colored dark clouds. Countless regrets filled his heart.
If he hadn't been greedy and brought his children here, their flag wouldn't have been cut off because of this. In the later years, it would have been gradually annexed by people from other flags.
He didn't blame others, but he hated himself for overestimating his own abilities. He only wanted to be happy for a moment and didn't consider the consequences of what he did. Besides, it was too late to say anything now.
In the past two hundred years, they had fought hundreds of battles with the ghost soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, big and small. The number of ghost soldiers had also decreased to about five thousand now, but the effect was obvious. Perhaps because the enemy did not have Qin Tuzi to lead them, they had lost more than half of their soldiers. Now, there were only about two thousand left.
"Banner Lord…"
When the ghost riders near the ghost general heard this, their voices choked up, and black gas rolled in their ghost eyes.
"It's fine. Looking at the situation today, we won't be able to fight. Let's go back. After this, I will personally go to the Ming Camp and shake hands with them. After fighting for so many years, I believe the hatred between the two sides should have mostly disappeared.”The ghost general waved the horsewhip in his hand, indicating for the many ghost riders to leave first.
"Father, oh, no, Lord Banner Lord, why don't we just fight to the death? What have we been planning for all these years? But look, among the Eight Banners Disciples today, who is skilled in archery and riding? The smoking sticks in their hands are even more powerful than our iron spears…"
"We might not have the chance to reincarnate as humans, but you guys are different. Back then, you all just joined the army, so there wasn't much baleful qi and resentment on your bodies. Moreover, after such a long time, it has mostly dissipated. During these years, I've also secretly inquired about it. Lin Feng has an extraordinary relationship with the Beimang Ghost Bureau.”
The ghost general shouted angrily at a young ghost rider beside him. At the same time, he pointed at the hundreds of ghost riders behind the young ghost rider.
" But…" The young Ghost Rider wanted to say something, but he was sent flying by the Ghost General's slap. He did a 360-degree turn in the air, and then fell down with a loud bang. That young face made intimate contact with the ground.
"Bring him back. Without my orders, no one is to let him out. Otherwise, you will be punished by military law." The ghost general swept a cold glance at him and said emotionlessly.
All the ghost riders that were swept by him could not help but lower their huge heads. Their immature and steady ghost faces revealed a look of shame.
"This subordinate will obey!"
After the Ghost Cavalry obeyed, they retreated one after another. From the way they retreated, one could clearly see the strictness of the general's management of the army. Only the young Ghost Cavalry who had been slapped earlier led a few Ghost Cavalry to protect the Ghost General.
"Let's go too. When Li Bai, that River Earl, comes out from the bottom of the Yellow River, they won't be able to fight even if they want to.”The ghost general looked at it for a while and shook his head. He said with some disappointment.
From the bottom of his heart, he was very happy to see that young woman fight with her old enemies. It would be best if both sides suffered heavy losses, and then they would be able to stay on the fishing platform. However, he understood that this was simply impossible.
"Are you still looking? If you keep looking, your eyeballs will pop out. Let's go. That woman isn't someone you can touch. Otherwise, you'll be bitten until there's not even residue left.”The ghost general smiled bitterly and retreated with his son and the other ghost riders.
If they had been a little later, they would have seen the experienced commander, Comrade Xiao Bai, running out of the Yellow River in a state of anger.
