My vicious dog, my horse, I can do whatever I want with it

Outside Kangshan City, Du Zhe was leading the Wuhuan troops in a fierce battle with the Qi troops defending Kangshan City. The fierce shouts and cries of killing were heard one after another, and the smoke of war could be seen from afar.

A corner of the city wall had collapsed, and the city gate was about to be broken, but suddenly a group of Qi soldiers rushed out from outside the city to help. The flying orange-red flag was very unfamiliar, and Du Zheyuan thought it was reinforcements from Baishui Pass.

But he didn't expect that when they met face to face, he saw that the soldier in iron armor and wielding a sword was actually an old man with a white beard.

Du Zhe was stunned. He squinted his eyes and saw that the soldiers who rushed out were all veterans who were nearly fifty years old. The youngest one was probably fifty years old, right?

"General, this..." The generals around Du Zhe also saw it and were stunned.

"When Qi State recruits soldiers, it doesn't use strong and healthy young men, but these old and frail men?" A Wuhuan general nearby was shocked when he saw this scene. He then saw that the old soldier was not afraid of swords at all, and rushed forward with even his gray beard dyed red with blood.

They didn't seem to care about dying in battle at all, and fighting like this naturally caused the Wuhuan troops to retreat step by step.

Du Zhe looked carefully and saw the old man beating the drum. Although he had a skinny and old body, he was holding the wooden mallet and beating the drum with all his might to show off his respect for his old buddies.

"These are not old men." Du Zhe thought for a while and then said, "These are all old soldiers of Qi who retired from the army. Although they are old, they have experienced hundreds of battles."

"What..." The Wuhuan people were extremely surprised. After pondering for a long time, they took a deep breath and said, "Qi State has actually achieved such a level."

Du Zhe also felt a tremor in his heart, but he did not hesitate at all when he ordered the siege to continue.

These Qi troops only advanced and never retreated. Du Zhe saw that the situation was unfavorable to our army, so he immediately sounded the horn to call back his troops and wanted to retreat.

Unexpectedly, the Qi army did not want to let Du Zhe leave, and directly changed its defensive posture and launched a siege attack on the Wuhuan army.

Du Zhe had not expected that the timid Qi soldiers would dare to go out of the city so boldly to pursue them. Due to his carelessness, he was almost surrounded and annihilated. Just when Du Zhe thought that the casualties of the troops would be huge, he suddenly saw a black flag flying not far away.

"Ghost Camp, great!" Du Zhe was overjoyed and cheered, "General Bai is here to help!"

"Soldiers, follow me and kill!" Du Zhe saw that the reinforcements had arrived, so there was no need to break out and escape. He immediately reined in his horse and turned around to kill the enemy troops that were chasing him.

"kill--!"

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and the offensive and defensive dynamics have always been like this.

Seeing that the situation was not favorable, the Qi army retreated. Under the suppression of the Ghost Camp led by Bai Xiuyun, they barely retreated back to Kangshan City.

Du Zhe was exhausted after the fierce battle. Seeing Bai Xiujun was like seeing a savior. He hurriedly went up to him and said, "General Bai, you came at the perfect time!"

Bai Xiujun nodded to Du Zhe and glanced at the battle situation. He saw that most of the Qi soldiers who died in the battle were veterans. He squatted down and tore off their armor. He saw that many of the injuries on these veterans were old ones.

"What's going on?" Bai Xiujun asked with a frown.

"The reinforcements from Qi are all veterans." Du Zhe wiped the blood off his face, turned around and ordered his subordinates to clean up the battlefield. He walked back with Bai Xiujun and talked about the situation in Kangshan City.

"The general expected that reinforcements from Qi would come here, so he asked me to come to help." Bai Xiujun's eyes darkened slightly after understanding the situation and said, "The leader of Qi's army this time is named Geng. I didn't expect that he would bring such a group of old, weak and disabled soldiers to help?"

Not only did they not expect it, no one in Qi State expected it.

Geng Wei was sitting in the military tent of Kangshan City at this moment. The defender of Kangshan City, Gu Yongrui, was standing below him and reporting on the battle situation.

If you look closely at Geng Wei, you will find that he has only half of his right ear, and the scar on his ear is very clear, where he was cut by the enemy in the past. His face is as old as the bark of an old locust tree, and his beard and hair have long been gray, but he still sits upright as the commander.

Looking at the guards around him, they were all old men over fifty years old without exception, so much so that Gu Yongrui was extremely surprised when he saw them.

"I understand." Geng Wei listened to Gu Yongrui's report and nodded slowly, "The people who came to help today are the famous ghost camp under Zong Yanli's command?"

"It's really powerful." Geng Wei frowned and whispered: "Judging from the enemy's movements, they will not attack the city in a short time. We should send a message to Baishui Pass and order them to take the initiative to send troops."

"Yao Yang, take my military order." Geng Wei turned and instructed the veteran beside him.

"Yes!"

Gu Yongrui moved his lips as if he wanted to speak, probably because he thought that these were all veteran generals and such matters could be left to them.

Geng Wei seemed to have seen what Gu Yongrui was thinking, and he immediately laughed and said, "General Gu, don't underestimate an old brother like me. In the past, we were all fierce and powerful generals who could fight ten people at once. We are just old, not dead yet."

I thought that after earning countless military merits, I could retire and live out my old age in peace.

They never thought that one day when the country would be in crisis, these old guys would have to put on their armor again and pick up their swords again!

Geng Wei sat upright on a high seat, his slightly cloudy eyes full of the age of an old man as he said in a low voice: "Today we are here to fight the national crisis together, and we never planned to go back alive."

Gu Yongrui was shocked when he heard this. He stared blankly at the old general in front of him. He saw him walk down and patted Gu Yongrui on the shoulder and said, "Even if Qi is destroyed, it should be us old guys who die first."

"Just be at ease and defend against the enemy. There is no need to be afraid." The old voice sounded like that of a kind elder at home, protecting his children and grandchildren with kindness and amiability.

At this moment, Gu Yongrui suddenly felt extremely sad. With bloodshot eyes, he knelt in front of Geng Wei and said, "Old General, why did you have to do this?"

Geng Wei sighed and said nothing. Qi State had no way out at this point.

Kangshan City was difficult to capture. On the other side, Baines followed Geng Wei's advice and led his troops to attack Zong Yanli's camp. He used all his troops to force Zong Yanli to retreat. The fighting was extremely fierce along the way, and the charge between the two armies was the purest.

In the battle, the armies clashed, and Zong Yanli broke out of the encirclement many times.

At the end of summer, Zong Yanli finally transferred back the Ghost Camp and ordered Duzhe to withdraw his troops to provide support, thus resolving the crisis in Kangshan City.

Outside Baishui Pass, Benes also pushed Zong Yanli back twenty miles away, and only stopped outside Wuzipo.

"General." Bai Xiujun came back to provide assistance, hurried into the tent and leaned over to say to Zong Yanli.

"Yeah." Zong Yanli was still wearing armor, his hair was a little dirty and messy, and the table was full of military newspapers. He looked up at Bai Xiuyun and nodded, "What's the situation in Kangshan City?"

Bai Xiujun sighed and shook his head, saying, "It will be difficult to break through in a short time."

Bai Xiujun gave a general account of the situation in Kangshan City and mentioned Geng Wei. He was greatly surprised by the troops from Qi State coming to support. After Zong Yanli had a general understanding of the situation, he let Bai Xiujun go down to rest. The military report submitted had already reported the situation in Kangshan City.

After pondering for a long time, Zong Yanli called Pei Liang, Long Feiguang and others to discuss the current war situation in detail. Finally, he sent an urgent military report to Daqian, ordering the Jin and Gao countries to come to the rescue.

It's still a little hot in early autumn.

When the enemy attacked again, Zong Yanli had not slept for two days. When he heard the sound of the horn, there was a gloomy and fierce look in his eyes. He stood up, put on his helmet and visor, and went to fight again.

"The enemy didn't even challenge us, but just charged straight at us?" Zhan Haoyue was a little surprised when he saw the enemy army leading the troops and charging straight at them.

"Our army is outnumbered. If we fight alone, even if the three kingdoms take turns to attack us, they will all be sent to die." Pei Liang said with a gloomy look, "They obviously found out that this is not in their favor. They simply don't want to challenge us. They just attack us directly and they have a better chance of winning."

"Is that the new commander of Qi?" Zong Yanli looked from afar and saw the old general sitting with Baines and others. He squinted and could only see the gray beard.

"General, look!" Long Feiguang's voice suddenly came to his ears. Zong Yanli looked in the direction Long Feiguang pointed and saw the Qi soldiers who rushed out of the military formation. They were so outstanding. Among the many military formations, only the vanguard of Qi was composed entirely of veterans.

Those old soldiers waved their swords fiercely and rushed into the crowd fearlessly, actually tearing apart Zong Yanli's army formation with their bodies.

Even an old bone was about to be hit by the shield soldier's big shield, and he was still trying to move forward with a long spear. The hoarse shouting seemed a bit harsh on this battlefield. Zong Yanli could not help but clench the long sword in his hand, watching this scene in silence, and was also deeply shocked.

"This Qi State..." Pei Liang was a little speechless. He looked at the scene in astonishment for a long time and was unable to utter a word.

"Wenian, are you going?" Zong Yanli closed his eyes, sighed, turned around and called Wen Nian.

"Okay." Wen Nian lowered his eyes and agreed.

Zong Yanli knew that he could not let Qi continue like this. Facing those old, weak and disabled soldiers, it would be easy for the army to lose morale.

She drew the long sword from her waist, reached out and pressed the visor on her face, and said to Long Feiguang: "General Long, please stay here for the overall situation, and Jie Hu will mobilize the archers to help me."

Jie Hu: “…”

This familiar feeling comes again.

He watched Zong Yanli and Wen Nian rush out one on the left and the other on the right. One of them held a knife and the other held a gun and jumped directly into the battle. With an extremely powerful offensive, they broke through the fearless state created by the enemy, making everyone's eyes fall on the two of them.

The pitch-black sword swept across the air, and the warm blood gushed out from the neck. The fallen enemy soldiers didn't even have time to react.

"Kill!" Zong Yanli rode a black horse and jumped into the enemy's formation. Jie Hu drew his bow and shot arrows again and again to clear Zong Yanli's side. Even his hand that was pulling the bow was bleeding. He did not dare to stop for a moment, and he replaced the quiver beside him countless times.

His eyes were always on the battle situation, changing positions again and again. The archers on both sides were all so focused without exception.

This was the first time Geng Wei met Zong Yanli. He sat upright on the general's throne, holding the armrests with both hands. He took a deep breath, and his eyes were fixed on Zong Yanli and Wen Nian who were fighting in the army. Benes beside him shouted "shoot" countless times, and even snatched the longbow himself and wanted to shoot Zong Yanli.

But Zong Yanli, who was fighting in the army, seemed to have eyes. Not only did he easily dodge the rain of arrows, but the indiscriminate rain of arrows also killed many of his own people...

Seeing that the enemy's formation was forced and our army's fighting spirit was growing, Zong Yanli had no intention of advancing further into the battle and turned her horse's head back into the formation.

"Withdraw your troops." Geng Wei witnessed the changes with his own eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Fighting again will only increase casualties."

"Why did General Geng do this?" Baines frowned and turned to look at Geng Wei and asked.

"When two armies confront each other, the most important thing is fighting spirit. We will attack with all our might without challenging them." Geng Wei pursed his lips and said in an old tone, "I want to shake the enemy's morale and reduce their fighting spirit, so as to boost our army's prestige. Only in this way can we defeat the enemy and win!"

To put it simply, it was those veterans who bravely and fearlessly charged into the battle line and sacrificed their lives for their country, inspiring our soldiers to charge forward and fight to the death!

The enemy must have been deeply shocked to see that these old and weak soldiers could still be so brave and fearless.

Geng Wei's strategy was absolutely brilliant. You have to know that military morale is the most difficult to influence. Once they are defeated, it will be a sign of a great defeat.

"But..." Geng Wei had expected a lot, but he did not expect that the enemy commander would personally fight the enemy. After seeing Zong Yanli fearlessly and fiercely charging into the army, he knew that this plan was useless. He also saw that Zong Yanli could still advance and retreat freely under the siege of thousands of troops.

Wherever the long sword passed, corpses were everywhere. And every place where she was vulnerable was protected by archers. The rain of arrows protected her tightly.

At that moment, Geng Wei suddenly thought of the past, and thought of himself back then. He had also fought like this, and had such close and tacit brothers, fighting for life and death.

Geng Wei wanted to pick up a sword and kill like Zong Yanli, but...

He couldn't. He knew clearly that he was old. It was extremely difficult for an old veteran to swing his sword. How could he dare to take the risk?

So he could only retreat and come back again, thinking that there would definitely be another chance.

"Zong Yanli and Wen Nian are like killing gods when they enter the battlefield! They can't be stopped at all!" Yi Tiangan cursed and said, "If we want to go to war, the ghost camp and Long Feiguang are not easy to deal with. It's really troublesome."

"In my opinion, if we continue to fight them head-on, it will only lead to a dead end." Geng Wei frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Why not launch another offensive, take back Pofu Pass first, and then encircle them from behind."

"A roundabout battle?" Baines frowned, not understanding. Geng Wei stood in front of the map and said to the two of them, "Go around here, attack from Pofu Pass, and launch a pincer attack on the enemy..."

Although Geng Wei is no longer as fierce as he used to be in battle, he still has excellent leadership skills.
