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

"Sit down." Zong Yanli waved her hand, walked forward, found a random seat and sat down, raised her hand to take off the mask on her face, revealing her face.

The soldiers' eyes were stunned for a moment, and they didn't know what to do with the bowls in their hands.

No one expected that the King of Hell, who was mysterious in their hearts and often discussed in private, would suddenly and casually take off his mask. He was completely different from the general they had imagined, and such a handsome face was revealed to everyone.

Zong Yanli raised his eyes: "Give me a bowl."

The soldier holding the big spoon suddenly came back to his senses: "Ah, oh oh oh..."

The soldier swallowed his saliva, stretched the spoon to the bottom, scooped up the meat residue at the bottom for Zong Yanli, filled a bowl with it and handed it to Zong Yanli: "General, please use it."

Zong Yanli looked at his actions, raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, then accepted his kindness, holding the bowl and drinking the soup.

"Why are you all staring at me?" Zong Yanli took two sips and perhaps felt that the surroundings were too quiet, so he turned to look at everyone.

"No, no!" The soldiers closest to Zong Yanli laughed foolishly, "I just didn't expect the general to look so young."

Zong Yanli reached out and touched his face, and said calmly, "It's just a superficial appearance."

Everyone couldn't help but nod in their hearts after listening to this. It was indeed...

The strength that Zong Yanli displayed several times when he led them into battle is no longer something that can be changed by just a face.

The image of Zong Yanli has been deeply rooted in the hearts of all the soldiers. Even if they see Zong Yanli's young and handsome appearance now, it will not be shaken in the slightest. Zong Yanli's majestic position in their hearts will not be shaken at all.

The soldiers looked at Zong Yanli twice, then continued drinking their soup and talking.

When the campfire gradually died down and they finished drinking the broth in the big pot, they all went into their tents and went to sleep.

The war is imminent.

Peng Deqing led his troops to leave first, while Zong Yanli followed behind with the soldiers of the Ghost Camp.

This time the march was very slow, with a break at noon and a rest at sunset.

In this way, when they arrived outside Shouxi County, at the rear of the coalition forces of Nankang and Jin, the soldiers did not show any signs of fatigue. Zong Yanli followed the plan and detoured to the flank army position, waiting for the opportunity for the main force of our army to blow the horn of attack.

"Why has the Wu Kingdom launched attacks repeatedly recently?" At this time, in the Nankang camp, Guo Chengye was sitting together with Shao Weiyi and others. There was a bit of confusion on Guo Chengye's face.

"Every time it seems like a huge battle, but there isn't much fighting. It's just like a game!" Shao Weiyi said this angrily. Even the generals who came up to fight retreated and rode away when they saw that the situation was not right. It was really frustrating!

"Zong Yanhongjing is a different leader from Chen Zhengxin." Guo Chengye frowned and said, "He is really difficult to deal with."

"Are they trying to delay time by using this tactic?" Guo Chengye thought a lot in an instant. At present, the troops of Wu State were scattered all over the place and would not come to help easily. The only garrison commander of Changfeng County, Zong Yanhongtu, was the only one who came to guard the pass.

Guo Chengye really couldn't think of what Zong Yanhongjing was waiting for if he was delaying by tricks?

While he was thinking, he heard the sound of war drums again.

Shao Weiyi stood up holding his helmet and said, "We can't let Wuguo drag on like this any longer. We must dampen their spirit today!"

Guo Chengye also nodded, but when he arrived at the front of the battle, he suddenly realized something was wrong. It seemed that the troops of Wu State had come out in full force.

The sound of the horns, one louder than the other, made Guo Chengye's heart beat fast. He was wondering what the purpose of the Wu Kingdom's full-scale attack was, but he saw that the Wu Kingdom had no intention of fighting and directly blew the horn to charge.

"Kill!" The charging soldiers made Guo Chengye increasingly uneasy. Just as he was about to step forward to give orders, he suddenly heard the same attack horn sounding from the rear.

"What!?" Guo Chengye looked back in astonishment and suddenly saw the Wu army flag being erected from behind the Nankang camp.

"What's going on!?" Shao Weiyi was also shocked.

"Oh no..." After being stunned, Guo Chengye's face suddenly turned pale and he said angrily: "We have been tricked by Zong Yanhongjing! Wu Guoding is going to attack Dongning City and surround our army!"

Shao Weiyi had a grim look on his face, and he had not yet recovered from the sudden change. When he turned around, he saw that the flank army he led was attacked. The military flag that was suddenly raised was so unfamiliar, with a completely black background. It was also the flag of the Wu State army, but he did not know which army of the Wu State it belonged to.

Until the general behind him screamed in shock: "Ghost Camp Yin Soldiers! That is the army led by Zong Yanli!"

"I finally saw it." The expression on Shao Weiyi's face changed again and again, and finally he stared at the black military flag. This was the first time he saw the flag of the Wu Kingdom Ghost Camp, but it would definitely not be the last time.

"Fight!" Guo Chengye took a deep breath and gave the order immediately.

The two armies, which had been fighting for so long, finally faced the most intense battle.

Zong Yanli led his troops to launch a surprise attack from the flank. This was also the first time that Zong Yanli led the Ghost Camp troops to appear in the public eye. The brand-new military flag appeared in this wilderness. Under the flying flag, the soldiers in heavy armor, swords and shields were like ferocious killer ghosts, ruthlessly tearing apart the enemy's formation.

The sound of war drums was stirring, and this sudden emergence of an alien army attracted everyone's attention.

The war horse that jumped out from behind the flag, the man sitting high on the horse's back was wearing heavy black armor, holding a black long sword in his hand, and leaped into the enemy army.

The long sword chopped down as if it had split the air around it, and with such force it knocked down both the man and his horse.

"He is Zong Yanli?" Shao Weiyi felt dry in the mouth as he watched this scene. His pupils shrank slightly and he suddenly clenched the heavy sword in his hand. He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "I will go meet him later!"

"General Shao, don't do that!" Someone immediately stopped him: "This man is vicious and brave, and is good at taking the heads of generals! Don't be impulsive!"

Shao Weiyi stared at Zong Yanli unwillingly, breathing a little hurriedly, and said, "If we allow this person to continue to grow like this, he will become a strong enemy of our Jin State in the future!"

Shao Weiyi turned around and grabbed the longbow, holding his breath and pulling the arrow, the cold tip of the arrow pointed directly at Zong Yanli's back!

Om-!

The arrow shot out quickly, but Zong Yanli, who was in the fierce battle, seemed to have eyes on his back. He swung his long sword behind him at an extremely flexible angle to block the arrow.

With a thud, the arrow hit the long sword and fell down helplessly. Zong Yanli turned around and looked straight towards the direction where Shao Weiyi was.

The face of Zong Yanli standing on the horse was covered by a ferocious beast mask, and only a pair of sharp eyes could be seen. It was obviously impossible to see at such a distance, but Shao Weiyi inexplicably felt that he was facing a pair of black pupils.

The feeling of being stared at was like a cold murderous intent rushing towards you.

"Retreat." Shao Weiyi's heart suddenly started beating wildly. He was actually frightened by a man's eyes!

"What!? Withdraw?" Guo Chengye suddenly looked at Shao Weiyi. He never thought that Jin State would withdraw its troops at this time.

"If we don't withdraw now and lead the troops from the rear to encircle us, we will all be buried here!" Shao Weiyi turned his head and looked at Guo Chengye and said, "Nankang is doomed. Our Jin State has done its utmost. General Guo, take care of yourself!"

Shao Weiyi did not hesitate at all and immediately sounded the retreat.

Guo Chengye's body shook. Even though he knew that what Shao Weiyi said was true, he felt a sharp pain in his heart when he really heard these words. He looked at the current battle situation in panic. The offensive of the Wu State was amazing and became more and more courageous, while our army was already in danger of being defeated.

"Zong Yan, Zong Yan clan..." Guo Chengye beat his chest and stamped his feet. He originally thought that with the departure of Chen Zhengxin, Nankang would have a chance to rise, but who could have thought that the Zong Yan clan was even more difficult to deal with!

The commander-in-chief was already a difficult person to deal with, but his son was even more like a killer god. Many generals in Nankang died under his sword!

Guo Chengye only felt the blood and qi in his chest surging, and he suppressed the sweet and fishy taste in his throat. At that moment, his breath seemed to shorten by two seconds. He said dejectedly, "Retreat, retreat."

Our army won a great victory in this battle. The two armies surrounded and devoured the remaining troops of Nankang, and chased them to the outside of Qiuxiang before stopping.

Only less than 5,000 people out of the 20,000 troops of Jin State turned back to Jin State. Nankang was completely without support. Now it was only a matter of time before Nankang was captured.

This year was spent in such chaos and war.

The ghost camp soldiers led by Zong Yanli became famous, and the black flag standing in front of the army became a feared existence in Nankang.

Ghost Camp, Zong Yanli.

After Wu State captured three cities in a row, it finally suspended its offensive. From winter to summer, Zong Yanli finally took off his heavy military armor and prepared for a new round of recruiting soldiers for the Ghost Camp. Now that he had a reputation, countless soldiers in the army came to him and asked to join.

"Ali, how do you plan to choose the soldiers from the Ghost Camp this time?" Zong Yanhongjing sat upright and called Zong Yanli over and asked, "Or do you plan to ask for more people from the Death Row Camp?"

Zong Yanli shook his head: "In the beginning, we had to select death row prisoners. Now that the ghost camp is complete, there is no need to create momentum. It is even better to select soldiers from the army."

Zong Yanhongjing was very satisfied with Zong Yanli's thinking. He did not blindly pursue fame and was steady and realistic. He was very satisfied with his son.

Zong Yanhongjing nodded slightly and said, "In addition to this matter, I called you here today for another reason. Your mother arranged a marriage for Ah Yin, but Ah Yin was not satisfied and ran out of the house secretly and headed straight to Xitong City. I have ordered people to stop her."

"This girl won't listen to anyone. Go to Xitong City and persuade her to go back." Zong Yanhongjing said with a headache, "This is a battlefield. How can we allow a girl like her to run around everywhere?"

"My sister is here?" Zong Yanli stood there in a daze, seeming a little overwhelmed.

"Yeah." Zong Yanhongjing sighed. This girl learned some martial arts from him since she was young. She was fine when she was young, but now that she has grown up, she is really undisciplined.

Fortunately, Zong Yanyin was not a reckless person. She knew to look for an inn under the banner of Zong Yanhongjing, or to ask the soldiers guarding the city to inform her father. She arrived at Xitong City safely. Except for refusing to go home, she was quite well behaved.

Zong Yanhongjing was unable to spare the time, and it was not convenient for him to bring the person to the army, so he could only ask Zong Yanli to persuade the person to go back home.

Zong Yanli traveled all the way to Xitong City and found the inn where Zong Yanyin lived. There were two guards guarding the door of the inn. Before she went forward, she saw a head popping out of the door. The girl was wearing a light blue riding suit and had long hair tied into a ponytail. She poked her head out with a bit of curiosity.

"Brother——!" The girl looked fixedly at Zong Yanli who was riding on a warhorse. Then her eyes lit up, and she jumped out of the inn and ran towards Zong Yanli.

Zong Yanli dismounted and looked at the little girl running towards him in the summer breeze. He took two steps forward, opened his arms and caught Zong Yanyin, then raised his hands high and smiled beautifully.

Wen Nian, who was following beside him, was holding the horse and staring at Zong Yanli's profile in a daze. This was the first time he saw such a happy and comfortable smile on Zong Yanli's face. All the haze and heaviness in his eyes seemed to have dissipated, revealing his truest and purest self at this moment.

"Brother, I miss you so much!" Zong Yanyin hung on Zong Yanli's neck, crying and laughing with great grievance.

"Brother misses you too." Zong Yanli responded in a hoarse voice with his lips curved.

"Since my brother went to the battlefield, there has been no more letters." Zong Yanyin looked at Zong Yanli with tears in her eyes, and asked with a bit of accusation and worry in her eyes: "Is my brother injured?"

"No." Zong Yanli smiled and reached out to touch her head. His rough palm had become exactly the same as his father's.

The brother who was holding her was wearing military armor like her father, and his features looked solemn and cold. Only the eyes looking at her were still so gentle and loving.

Zong Yanyin stared at Zong Yanli and suddenly felt like crying. Although her brother didn't say anything, she always felt that her brother must have suffered a lot in the army.

Zong Yanli couldn't stand her pitiful look, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Why are you so miserable? My brother is standing in front of you peacefully, so we are all right. Let's go in and talk."

Zong Yanyin sniffed and followed Zong Yanli into the inn obediently. Compared to Zong Yanli's stature, Zong Yanyin looked much smaller. For a moment, Wen Nian even forgot that Zong Yanli, who called herself 'brother', was also a woman.

"Is he my brother's personal soldier?" Zong Yanyin looked at Wen Nian with a little curiosity. After several years of hardships, Wen Nian was now strong and sturdy, with sharp eyes and handsome looks. His facial features were three-dimensional. He was wearing the same military armor as Zong Yanli, and was only half a head taller than her.

"His name is Wen Nian." Zong Yanli did not deny it. He turned his head slightly and said to Wen Nian, "This is my little sister."

"Hello, young lady." Wen Nian bowed his head and greeted.

"Brother, are all the soldiers in your army so brave?" Zong Yanyin smiled lightly with her hands covering her mouth. Then, as if she had thought of something, she said with a bit of annoyance, "If the man my mother arranged for me to marry was half as brave as you, I would not have escaped!"

Zong Yanli frowned. Although she felt that Zong Yanyin was still young and didn't need to get married, she couldn't help but admonish her when she thought of how bold she was to come so far. "Mother is thinking about you. If you don't want to talk to mother properly, how dare you leave home without permission?"
