The two regiments of Yudingshan and Yudinghe, totaling 5,000 cavalry, still lost more than a thousand people in this battle.
This is already an excellent record!
They didn't know how many enemies they killed, until finally the enemy's left wing, which numbered a full 100,000, was completely defeated.
"Do you want to rest and wait for Commander Guan to come?" Xue Dinghe asked.
"No, tell the soldiers to find horses. Give them an incense stick of time!"
A stick of incense later, the four thousand cavalrymen disappeared into the night again.
Another half incense stick of time passed before the 100,000 cavalrymen led by Tuoba Feng arrived here. What they saw were corpses everywhere and a messy battlefield.
He looked up into the night and said, "Guan Xiaoxi, you're really brave!"
"Everyone in the army, give chase!"
…
Wanyan tribe of Green Banner Prefecture, Chilechuan.
That night, the lights in the clan leader Peng Yuyan's house were on all night.
Peng Yuyan was sewing a red skirt, and opposite her was her sleepy daughter Yu Ruoxing.
"Mom... there's no rush to get dressed. It's almost dawn... go get some sleep."
Peng Yuyan looked up at the door and said, "Go to sleep for a while. Wait for the skirt to be sewn. Wait another month or so, and then you can go to Guanyun City."
Yu Ruoxing opened her eyes immediately. "Going to Guanyun City? Can I go see Brother Xiaozhuang now?"
"Well," Peng Yuyan bit off the thread with her teeth and squinted her eyes as she threaded the needle. "By the time you get to Guanyun City, I guess your brother Xiaozhuang and... your two brothers should have returned to Guanyun City as well."
Yu Ruoxing blushed slightly and bit her lip. "Mom, you said... If I marry Brother Xiaozhuang, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in Guanyun City or Mozhou. My two brothers are in the army now and it's difficult for them to come back. Why don't you live with me after Brother Xiaozhuang and I are settled?"
Peng Yuyan smiled faintly and continued sewing the skirt. "Don't worry about me, I'm fine here. But your brother Xiaozhuang's father will be coming in a few days. I guess he's going to propose marriage..."
Peng Yuyan looked at her daughter, whose face had turned even redder, and asked again, "Have you really thought it through?"
"Woman, getting married is the most important thing in your life, so you must think carefully about it."
"Xiao Zhuang is now the commander of an army, and he spends most of his time in the military. Although he can bring his family with him, it is very inconvenient for women to be in the army. But there is a good thing now. After the battle of Daxia, I am afraid there will be no larger wars on this continent."
"Mother estimates that the future battlefield will be at sea. What's uncertain is whether His Majesty has ambitions for the territories beyond the sea. If so... the army will most likely be deployed to overseas battlefields. The sea is vast, and it would take more than a year or two for them to return."
"You have to understand, deeply understand that marrying a soldier means you have to get used to loneliness and have to shoulder the entire family. It's actually very hard."
Peng Yuyan and Yu Ruoxing said these words many times. As Yu Ruoxing grew up, she began to understand the meaning of these words.
Just like the two brothers went to the First Army, which was still in the Chi Lechuan Autonomous Region, but they didn’t come back for almost a year.
But her belief did not change because of this. At this moment, she said firmly again: "Mom, I have really thought it through. Brother Xiaozhuang is doing this for Daxia. As a soldier, and a commander at that, he should set an example for the soldiers of Daxia."
"After getting married, I'm thinking of either buying a property in Guanyun City or staying with my parents-in-law in Mozhou. Although I don't know how to farm, it shouldn't be difficult for me to manage the household. Besides...my sister-in-law has returned, and was even conferred a fourth-rank title by His Majesty."
"We can do something else in Mozhou. I don't think I'll feel lonely. Of course, it would be even better if Mom were with me."
"You are already sixteen years old. Remember, you must be responsible for your choices and you can never regret them for the rest of your life!"
"Well, I definitely won't regret it."
Peng Yuyan sighed softly, then looked up at the dark night, wondering why the night was so long and why the day had not yet dawned.
This is the first time for the two sons to go to the battlefield, the kind with real guns and swords.
They eventually embarked on this road, but Peng Yuyan knew very well how dangerous this road was.
She had already known about this war against the Liao Dynasty. Before Guan Xiaoxi left, he sent her a letter and asked: The two younger brothers performed very well during training, and now they have been promoted as the two commanders of the advance regiment of the First Army of the Army. This war against the Liao Dynasty is a battle to completely destroy the Liao Dynasty, and it may be very dangerous. She asked the two younger brothers if they needed to go to the battlefield?
This was Guan Xiaoxi's worry. She had been thinking about it all night - she used to be a decisive heroine, but now, she was just the mother of Yudingshan and Yudinghe.
This guy's two sons went to the battlefield at the same time. Although the Great Xia Army was powerful, in such a large-scale battle, the swords were merciless and no one knew whether they could come back alive.
That night she finally figured it out. Since being a soldier was her two sons' dream, soldiers must go to the battlefield. If she stopped them, they would probably regret it for the rest of their lives.
Then let them go.
Life and death are determined by fate, for the sake of the ideals in our hearts.
Guan Xiaoxi led them to the battle. According to Peng Yuyan's speculation about the battlefield, the Battle of Maoshan Pass may have already begun. How is the fighting going on the front line?
She had absolute trust in the army of Daxia, but since it concerned her own son, she still couldn't find peace these days.
The light of the lamp flickered, and her eyelids twitched as well. The needle pricked her hand. She raised her head and looked into the dark night again. The worry in her heart suddenly surged like a tide.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
She retracted her gaze, took a deep breath, smiled calmly, and continued sewing her skirt. "It's nothing... If you and Xiao Zhuang get married, and it's inconvenient for you to take care of the child, then let mother take care of it for you."
…
…
The advance team from Yuding Mountain and Yuding River once again caught up with Yelu Hua.
Yelu Hua won't run away. You four thousand people are chasing me and beating me. Yelu Hua can't swallow this humiliation no matter what!
What’s more crucial is that the scouts sent news that his 200,000 White Feather Guards would arrive in half an hour!
The 200,000-strong army from the central army and the right wing army rushed towards the cavalry regiment of the Yu Dingshan brothers like a tide.
This is an even more brutal fight!
The enemy knew that their armor was invulnerable to swords and spears, and their horses suffered again, and the cavalry became infantry again.
This time, Yelu Hua personally supervised the battle, and the 200,000-strong army seemed to know that they were at the end of the road, so they did not collapse!
They stuck to the fallen cavalrymen.
One enemy grabbed a cavalryman's head, and another slashed his neck with a knife.
The enemy rushed forward fearlessly. The long sword slashed down and embedded itself into the bones of one of the enemies. The rest of the enemies rushed forward and knocked him to the ground.
The knives in their hands were inserted into the empty spaces on their faces, and they screamed and bit like mad dogs.
"Draw your gun and shoot!"
“Bang, bang, bang…”
Intensive gunfire rang out and a large number of enemies fell down, but as the gunfire stopped, they rushed forward again.
"Everyone, sword formation, defense!"
Facing an impenetrable enemy that is fifty times larger than yours, is it possible to resist?
