Yang Zaixing became famous at a young age. Such people are generally arrogant. He is different from Yue Fei and Niu Gao. He was a grass bandit and was defeated by Yue Fei before joining the imperial court. From a certain level, he and Guo
There is no difference between the pharmacists, so that his life in the Forbidden Army is not so smooth sailing, and many people look down on him.
Before he became the vanguard of the Ghost Army Wolf Cavalry Battalion, he was just an ordinary soldier. Li Qi made an exception and promoted him. Of course, this was criticized by many people. He didn't say it, but he definitely felt uncomfortable in his heart.
, he knew very well that if he wanted to win the trust of others, he had to perform meritorious deeds, so that people would have nothing to say. However, this time the Jin army went south, and he saw an opportunity.
This was also the reason why he kept chasing after him. He was very eager to take Yaoshi Guo's head. He only had Yaoshi Guo in his eyes, but the opponent was obviously much stronger than he thought. Even if he ran away, the formation was still there.
He was methodical and followed for several miles without a chance to make a move. Now he saw that the other party had sent a force to intercept him. He knew that it was absolutely impossible to capture Pharmacist Guo.
Yang Zaixing finally sighed softly, his eyes full of regret, but his murderous intent increased sharply. He hesitated at the reins and rushed towards the oncoming Jin army.
The soldiers behind him killed him without saying a word.
As soon as the two sides clashed, Yang Zaixing, who was holding his breath, killed the opponent's general in one round. He was so handsome. Seeing that his general was so fierce, the morale of the soldiers increased greatly. Moreover, they originally took advantage of the victory to pursue.
It actually knocked the Jin army's formation into pieces.
This was completely unimaginable before!
When those Jin soldiers saw that their boss was dead, their morale was shattered and they did not dare to fight, so they quickly retreated.
This time, Yang Zaixing did not pursue him closely. He just chased for a while and then stopped, shaking his head with regret. The soldiers around him originally wanted to raise their spears high in celebration, but saw that the general was still shaking his head and sighing.
, there is no sense of celebration.
At this time, a sentry rider also rushed towards the front and said loudly: "General Yang, Commander Bu has an order. Don't pursue any more."
Yang Zaixing had no intention of pursuing anymore, so he led his troops back.

Li Qi is an adventurist. However, his adventure has also achieved unprecedented success. The battle of Qingtian Village can be said to have completely reversed the decadence of the Song Army in the past twenty years. The Song Army lost hundreds of people.
If the Jin army had not received reinforcements, it would have suffered less damage and gained more. Guo Yaoshi's 8,000-victorious army was almost completely wiped out. In addition, there were many female immortals, and about 7,000 of them were killed and captured.
With more than 3,000 war horses, it can definitely be called a great victory. This is simply a shot in the arm for the Song army, which has suffered repeated defeats.
Li Qi, the commander-in-chief who was a cook, also became famous in one battle, because almost all of the ambush battles were carried out by him. Now, no one in the imperial army dared to look down upon him anymore, let alone doubt his strategy of leaving the city for the decisive battle.
The Ghost Army's Wolf Cavalry Army and Shenji Battalion also played a significant role in this war. This mysterious force finally appeared on the battlefield.
The only regret was that he failed to capture Pharmacist Guo. Qingtian Village was also reduced to nothing, with thousands of corpses buried here. They were enemies in front of them, but they were still intertwined after death. They became inseparable neighbors.
When Li Qi led his army back to the base camp, Zhao Kai personally led all the soldiers out of the camp to greet him. However, when they saw the soldiers behind Li Qi, they couldn't help but stand in awe. They saw that those soldiers were covered in blood.
The eyes are red and have become more determined after being baptized with blood. This is a qualified soldier.
"Haha, our heroes are back."
Zhao Kai couldn't wait. He laughed and rushed forward, wanting to hold Li Qi and chew it hard. This victory was what the Song army urgently needed, but at the same time, it was also what he urgently needed. He needed to establish his prestige and trust in the country.
, this victory is his best proof, how can he be unhappy?
Li Qi got off the horse, smiled and shook his head, saying: "I am not a hero, the real heroes are them." As he spoke, he pointed at the soldiers behind him.
Swish, swish, swish!
All the soldiers raised their right hands at the same time to give these soldiers the highest salute.
"Ho---ho---!"
Everyone raised their weapons again and roared. The sound was earth-shattering. Victory is always so wonderful. It can change a person, make a country strong, and baptize an army.
Li Qi whispered to Zhao Kai: "Your Highness, please come forward and say a few words."
Zhao Kai shook his head and said: "Let me tell you, you are their backbone now, no one can compare with you."
Li Qi was stunned and said: "Aren't you afraid that I will steal your limelight?"
Zhao Kai said very sincerely: "No matter what I have received or what I will receive, 90% of it belongs to you. I am just grateful for this. And having said that, every time you did not steal the limelight, I will
How can you care about this? Now our army needs a backbone who can lead them to victory, and this person is none other than you."
This is by no means a hypocritical statement on his part, but comes from the bottom of his heart. The reason why the combat effectiveness of the Song Dynasty's army was so low is that the system of the Song Dynasty was very special. The generals did not know the soldiers, and the soldiers did not know the generals. This resulted in a gap between the upper and lower levels, and soldiers
None of them have a backbone. If this is a peaceful and prosperous age, it will of course be a good thing for the imperial power. But once war breaks out, this system will put the Song Dynasty into a dilemma. Zhao Kai naturally understands this, but what he wants
He is a powerful and powerful ruler, so he must put up a sign to change this situation. The only person he trusts is Li Qi, and Li Qi is also the most suitable person.
Li Qi knew it clearly and did not give in. He said, "Then I will say it."
Zhao Kai nodded.
Li Qi walked to the middle. When the soldiers saw it, they immediately stopped. The eyes of everyone in the audience were focused on Li Qi. They heard him say loudly: "I remember I said more than once that our soldiers in the Song Dynasty are the most powerful soldiers in the Song Dynasty.
We are the kindest soldiers in the world. No one can erase our determination to maintain peace. However, being kind does not mean letting others bully us. If anyone dares to seize our home and harm our relatives, we will definitely do it.
He paid the price with his life.
Those who talk about benevolence, justice and morality are stupid people. Unfortunately, we have such a group of stupid people in the Song Dynasty. You must remember that the safety of a country can never be pinned on the gifts of others.
This is cowardice. This is stupidity. This is unforgivable. We must take up arms to defend our homeland. Fighting is the best weapon to maintain peace. For like-minded friends, our warm home will be their most important
A good place to rest, but there is nothing better for an enemy than a grave."
"Bury the enemy! Bury the enemy!"
The soldiers raised their weapons and shouted loudly.
"very good!"
Li Qi nodded and smiled and said: "Brothers, today's battle proves that the Jin Army is not invincible. Only when you insert a knife into their chests can you understand how fragile they are. In the past twenty years,
During this time, we have been living in the ridicule of others. I never expect to use the so-called benevolence and morality to change them, and use the so-called benefits to anesthetize them. Since we cannot change their ridicule of us, then we will let them live forever.
Shut up. We only need to let the enemy know one thing, that is, provoking this war is an extremely stupid choice, and they will definitely pay the price for their stupidity. This war has just begun, as long as we still
As long as one of our soldiers from the Song Dynasty survives, then the war is still going on. Although it is not time to celebrate yet, I am very fortunate that a sleeping dragon has gradually awakened. The future must belong to us."
When he didn't win this victory, he really didn't have the confidence to say this. If he did, it would only make people laugh.
The soldiers' blood boiled when they heard this, and their determination to fight was unprecedentedly resolute. They shouted at the top of their lungs: "Keep fighting, keep fighting."
The significance of this battle is definitely not the thousands of corpses or the thousands of horses, but it completely inspired the confidence of the Song army. Although Jinshui River and Bianhe River were lost one after another, this great victory
It can be said that the long drought is met with gentle rain, which is of far-reaching and important significance.
Zhao Kai looked at the high-spirited soldiers, smiled knowingly, and whispered: "Your speeches are always so contagious."
Li Qidao: "You are stealing lessons again."
"always there."
Li Qi chuckled and said: "Actually, what I said was not just some words of encouragement. I think that in the next ten years, our Song Dynasty will always be in the flames of war. If we want to change, why not make a complete change."
Zhao Kai said: "You are right, it is time to seek change."
......．
Soon, news of the great victory in Qingtian Village spread to Kaifeng City. After losing the first leg, Li Qidu deceived it into a big victory. However, this was a well-deserved victory. Of course, Li Qi would not let it go easily.
People forget that hype is his best skill. In one day, overwhelming news swept the entire Kaifeng Mansion.
The people of Kaifeng were almost shocked. Among the Forbidden Army they knew, winning was always a win. How could they win with less? This was simply unbelievable.
As the regent, Zhao Kai issued an order to reward the three armies and gave the soldiers the highest level of honorary rewards. He also ordered people to post notices to announce the victory to the world and express the court's determination to fight. Nowadays, signs are posted everywhere in the city.
Of course, whether it was notices or newspapers, they used exaggerated techniques. As for the losses of Jinshui River and Bianhe River, they have been selectively forgotten by people.
As for material things, he really has more than enough energy and no money!
But this is extremely rare in the country of scholar-bureaucrats.
Those civil servants were naturally unhappy when they saw that the military generals had stolen the spotlight. They were afraid that the status of civil servants would be replaced by military generals, but what could they do if they were unhappy?
Congratulations Qi Dao.
The entire Kaifeng Mansion was plunged into a sea of joy, and many families were setting off firecrackers to celebrate. It was really more lively than the Chinese New Year. The people also came out of their worries and despair, and were full of confidence in this war.
