: The gain is not worth the loss

Seeing Li Chong return and hearing Li Chong's orders, all the imperial guards did not dare to neglect and fought with the provocation.

After a few breaths, the battle was over. The Imperial Guard immediately integrated the team, waiting for Li Chong's reward.

But Li Chong rushed to everyone quickly, looked at Xiao Liuzi who was dejected by the side, his face instantly sank, and asked coldly: "Who is the one who took the lead this time?"

"Report to the general, it's a young general." Hearing Li Chong's inquiry, a 40-year-old lieutenant urged the horse to come out and said proudly.

"What is my order? Repeat! What is the result of the battle just now? Repeat." Li Chong suppressed his anger and his voice became even colder.

"Report to the general that he had wiped out 200 enemy probation horses in one battle, and only seventy of our soldiers and brothers were injured and killed. Not only that, the morale of all our brothers was even more shocking." The captain still looked smug, and he did not see that Li Chong's eyes had turned blood red at all.

"What is my order? Repeat!" Li Chong was already furious at this time.

"Wait." At this time, the captain heard Li Chong's voice differently, and then he felt a chill in his back. He replied in a trembling voice.

"Two hundred horses will not provoke them at all, but you not only siege them, but also consume the horse's physical strength. Now look at the horses under your seat, how long do you think you can run quickly?" Li Chong asked in a cold voice.

"Running forty kilometers quickly is exhausted. If you stop in the middle of the road, you will accelerate rapidly and support at most thirty kilometers." They all fought on horseback. These imperial guards were of course very familiar with their mounts, and the captain told the truth without hesitation.

"This place is at least forty kilometers away from Shouting City. At least two fights or pauses in the middle, and then accelerates after a quick stop. Rest for an hour is to allow the horses to rest and maintain their physical strength. That's it. We finally need to rush into Shouting City on foot. Now, do you think our legs can rush across three kilometers without being chased by enemy cavalry?" Li Chong asked coldly.

Li Chong told his plan. All the Imperial Guards were experienced in many battles. Of course, he understood that Li Chong used himself as bait. At this time, it was a double test of his physical strength and the physical strength of the war horse. Li Chong had already taken everything into his hands, but because of these two hundred horses and because of this small victory, the seven thousand Imperial Guards were all in danger.

Three kilometers and three thousand meters, the distance is not long, but under the pursuit of cavalry, how many of the seven thousand people can escape back to Shouting City?

All the soldiers immediately understood, and they couldn't help but regret it deeply.

"I believe you know what to do with the disobedience, leaving the horses behind." Li Chong said in a cold voice. Li Chong knew that if the military discipline was not strictly enforced at this time, this lesson would soon be overwhelmed by the pride of these imperial guards.

"Abide by the order!" The order was prohibited, and all the iron-like disciplines in the army were in the army. The captain lowered his head and slowly jumped off the war horse, then walked to the side, pulled out his waist and wiped it towards his neck.

Bang!

At the critical moment, a sudden crisp sound was heard, and the captain's right hand shook, and the waist knife suddenly became unsteady and fell down.

"Slaying the generals at the time of battle is ominous. Let's leave your head on the neck for the time being. I will settle the score with you until the Dongli army is repelled." Li Chong couldn't bear to kill his subordinates. Although the death of the captain could make other imperial guards more alert, Li Chong decided to use this captain to lead the remaining 7,000 troops, so that at least his orders could be completely executed.

After a storm passed, there was a sound of fighting in the distance, and the sound of fighting was coming and going quickly. Li Chong immediately knew that this was the encounter between five or six brigades chasing the enemy and the former army of Tori and retreated according to his orders.

Everything was indeed as Li Chong imagined. Five thousand cavalry rushed over and happened to meet the former army of Dongli's army. The chief general Murong Ye saw only five thousand cavalry and did not care at all. After all, his goal at this time was to drive straight in and kill Li Chong at the same time. The number of five thousand cavalry was quite large, but in Murong Ye's eyes there was only the residual power, and there was time to annihilate it at any time.

Li Chong was waiting quietly. He knew that the army of Dongli Kingdom was coming soon, but Tang Mo still had no trace at this time.

Just when Li Chong was a little anxious, there were sounds of hooves coming from the direction of Shouting City. Soon a team of cavalry appeared, and Tang Mo was the leader.

He ran quickly from afar, but everyone clearly saw that in addition to bringing back the five hundred imperial guards, Tang Ma even brought back a hundred war horses. There was a backpack on each side of these war horses, which were obviously treated as ordinary horses.

"Brother Li Chong, fortunately, I have been willing to be defeated. Two hundred pieces, plus the small catapults assembled by ten, and I have brought everything, but I have never figured out what these are. With these, I can eliminate all the army of Dongli Kingdom?" Tang Mo quickly came to Li Chong and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Tang, do you know who we are the main killing against Dongli Kingdom?" There is still time. Tangmo has arrived, and Li Chong is no longer anxious and asked with a smile.

"Who to kill? Aren't you going to kill the soldiers, officers, and his commander in Torii? If it's really as you guessed, the King of Torii is here, and even he killed him by the way." Tang Mo said in a low voice. Of course, he knew that Li Chong's target was not that simple, but he could not imagine it.

"Since Brother Tang is so labor-saving, it's better to leave it to you to command and catch Dongliguo in one go." Li Chong also returned with a smile.

"Forget it, forget it, I don't have the ability." Tang Mo immediately refused.

"What I want to kill is more useful than killing millions of soldiers." Li Chong said solemnly in Tang Mo's eyes.

"Is there any use to killing these million soldiers?" Seeing Li Chong's serious look, Tang Mo immediately became serious.

"The seal is the foundation of the empire and the army. Killing millions of soldiers will inevitably cause hatred for the whole country. At that time, the same hatred for the enemy will be shared, and the country will be the power of the whole country, not just a million elite soldiers. But if most of the seals are killed, the Dongli Kingdom will appear to be strong, but in fact it is weak. Even their monarch and marshal may have to withdraw their troops at that time." Li Chong said firmly. It was not until this time that he expressed his true purpose.
