After the wolf pack tactic was confirmed, Li Qing, who should have been in high spirits, looked at the flag that covered the sky and the sun in front of him and felt an inexplicable sadness. Originally, in history, these iron cavalry, which were called the last hot-blooded and glorious cavalry of the late Qing Dynasty by later generations, should have been in eternal sleep with their own beliefs in the Battle of Baliqiao.
However, Li Qing's visit without an appointment disrupted their fate. They could not be buried with their comrades like in their previous lives, because where there were comrades, it was home.
But now, they were about to be divided into twenty teams of five hundred people each. They would be scattered across the land within a radius of nearly a hundred miles in search of an opportunity. Perhaps they would be lucky enough to find an opportunity to succeed in one battle and be promoted. Or perhaps he left quietly and returned quietly. However, Li Qing believed that this was also a kind of happiness, because Li Qing, who was used to seeing ups and downs, knew very well that war was cruel. In this war, most of them would die in battle. Without comrades to accompany them, they could only quietly be buried with the wind.
However, in the camp, the ten thousand young Mongolian cavaliers were all filled with happiness and pride. Before they gathered, their commander, the monk king, told them that the Gong Prince's strategy for this battle was called the wolf pack.
As the totem of the grassland people, wolves were the sustenance of their souls and the source of their strength. This made them even more impatient. They couldn't wait to unsheathe their sharp sabers. They yearned for blood to add luster to this battle strategy, so that these western barbarians would once again know that Genghis Khan's descendants were still alive.
Just like that, Li Qing did not say a word from beginning to end. He only wanted to quickly remember the appearance of each warrior. Even if they did not meet again when they were alive, if they left and met in another world, he could still say excitedly,"Child, I know you. You shed your last drop of blood for the rise of the country!”
The wind was blowing!
When 10,000 young lives slid past Li Qing, he finally couldn't help but shout,""Children! This king will wait here for you to return home!”
Li Qing's voice was very loud, but he didn't know if these cavalrymen heard him, because as soon as he finished speaking, the cavalrymen galloped even harder and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"Your Highness! You should go back to the fu to rest. Big brother and big ge were taken away by people in the palace for no reason. Wangfei should be very anxious now.”Wen Xiang said softly.
Li Qing paused for a moment, then remembered that not only did his predecessor inherit his body, but he also inherited his wives, concubines, and children. He really liked being a father!
Hence, Li Qing scratched his head and said,""How about this? I'll write a letter to my family. Later, I'll let the butler go back and report that he's safe!”
Wen Xiang saw that the Gong Prince had no intention of going back so he did not insist and silently found a chair to sit beside the Gong Prince.
......
This night, there was a breeze, no moon, and only a little bit of starlight.
Li Xianzhuang was a small town located north of Langfang and west of the farming area.
"Qimu Ge, did you really find the main force of the British army at Li Xianzhuang?”In a forest, a group of cavalrymen were discussing information.
After Qimu Ge heard this, he cupped his fists and said,""Assistant Leader, I saw clearly that Li Xianzhuang is full of white-skinned demons, and their cannons are not only thicker than ours, but they are also obviously much more than ours!”
After hearing this, the assistant leader thought for a moment and said,"How about this, Temur and Wuen Qi, each take five warriors to inform the nearby assistant leaders. Qimu Ge, take me to Li Xianzhuang to see the situation!”
"Zuo Ling, I didn't lie to you, did I? Look, the cannons and ammunition of the Western Demons are placed below, and there are only a few dozen guards guarding them. As long as we wait for them to fall asleep, we can sneak up and burn all the ammunition of the Western Demons!”Qimu Ge excitedly whispered into Zuo Ling's ear.
At this time, the landlord's mansion in Li Xianzhuang had been temporarily requisitioned as the command of the Far East dispatch army of the Anglo-French allied forces.
In the lobby, a few generals who were smoking cigars and drinking red wine were chatting and laughing, celebrating the upcoming victory in advance.
"General Montoban, have you heard? The emperor of this ancient empire was scared by our ships and cannons this afternoon and ran to Chengde!”Yaman, the commander of the east troops, held a wine glass and mocked.
Meng Toban's face was filled with disbelief. "My god, isn't their emperor deploying nearly 40,000 elite troops at Baliqiao, which is less than a hundred miles away from us? Among them, there are 10,000 Mongolian cavaliers known as the God's Whip.”
"General Meng Toban, in the words of the people of China, thirty years is the east and thirty years is the west. What you just said is all old history! The Mongolian cavaliers of the past were no match for our cannons. Even if Genghis Khan was reborn, he could not save them from the fact that they were destroyed!”Clinno, the commander of the south army, said with a smile.
"Alright then! I hope it's as you said. May God bless the Empire!”Montorban piously drew a cross on his chest and said.
Just as the few of them were discussing how to divide up the wealth of Beijing after the war, Clint said doubtfully,"Why didn't I see General Grant? Did he go hunting?”
"Oh! You're talking about that arrogant John Bull, he doesn't like our carefully prepared celebration feast. He took his British troops to Pang Village and said that he would gather supplies at Zhangjiawan in two days.”Yaman said as her eyes bulged.
Meng Toban saw that they were going overboard and said,"Alright, let's stop talking and talk about serious matters. How many food search teams are we sending out tonight?”
"There are a total of more than 30 teams, and each team has about 20 people!”
"Isn't it a little too small in number? If we encounter the enemy, even if we have the advantage of weapons, we will inevitably encounter mishaps!”
"General, that's impossible. Their emperor has already abandoned them. I believe they must be praying for a way to escape from our artillery fire instead of thinking about how to attack us!”
......
Just as the generals were chatting merrily, the surrounding French army's grain search team was enduring fear!
A grain-searching team member looked at the cart full of loot and walked out of a village with a smile on his face.
The French army reported their numbers. Under the command of the captain, the French army shouted in turn,“1，2... 17”
"Captain, Alexander, Antoine, and Armand are missing!”
"Leave a few people to guard the supplies. The rest of you, follow me to the nearby area to search!”
Unfortunately, the people who went out never came back. Even the people who stayed behind were inexplicably beheaded in the dark.
The same thing happened in various towns and villages in Tongzhou. That night, nearly 600 soldiers from France were beheaded. After the war, Montoban and the other generals made the soldiers pretend to be survivors to avoid being court-martialed. They magically changed what happened that night. When the soldiers who were lucky enough to escape back to France were interviewed by reporters, they were delirious and afraid to see anyone. They just kept repeating,"God incarnated as dark hunters. They all ride horses and wield sabers. They will always appear and disappear in the dark and inadvertently cut off your companions 'heads!”
Therefore, Dark Hunter became the most common term used to coax children. Of course, this was all for the future.
//The rest is written by the author and has nothing to do with the facts.
I'm too tired. It's almost midnight today. Thank you, Great Grandmaster Qin Shiming, for your reward. Good night!
