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

Zong Yanli's worries were not without reason, and the Kingdom of Qing had no intention of withdrawing its troops.

However, the Kingdom of Qing was not so foolish as to invite a wolf into the house when the country was at stake.

Not long after, Zong Yanli heard about the sudden increase in troops in the Qing Kingdom.

The sudden emergence of an alien army attracted the attention of Zong Yanhongtu, who immediately convened a meeting and learned that the alien army in Qing State had about five to six thousand people, and its leader had tamed a white eagle, hence the name White Eagle Army.

Zong Yanli, Luo Chengren and others were in the tent. Bai Xiuyun stood on the left side of Zong Yanli with his arms folded, Wen Nian stood on the right side, and the rest of the Qin family generals stood in the back.

Everyone was confused by the sudden appearance of the White Eagle Army: "Who are these White Eagle Army?"

"They are probably just some bandits, we shouldn't be afraid of them." Dong Hao frowned and said, "If the general is worried, I am willing to be the vanguard! Let's go meet the White Eagle Army!"

"Since he has this reputation and was invited by Qing State, he must have some ability and should not be underestimated." Zong Yanhongtu waved his hand at Dong Haoqiang, and then said in a deep voice: "Go and find out about his background first. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."

"Yes." The generals responded one after another.

At that time, no one took the White Eagle Army seriously, except Zong Yanli, who was worried after returning from the tent.

White Eagle Army.

That was the only iron-blooded army that Zong Yanli had encountered since he led his troops into battle.

The leader of the White Eagle Army was named Long Feiguang. It was indeed as Dong Haoqiang said, this army was just a group of bandits. However, he did not know that Long Feiguang, the leader of the White Eagle Army, was a rare general. Not only was he brave, but even his brothers were all outstanding.

Most of them were bandits who had become bandits because their families had fallen into poverty or they were forced to become bandits.

In such a chaotic world, it is difficult to protect one's own country. These people have no home or country. They rely on guerrilla warfare to collect iron weapons and armor, and have built such a powerful army. They have no fixed place to live and have never been loyal to any side.

Give him money and food, and he will fight for you!

When Zong Yanli faced the White Eagle Army in his previous life, it was after Yuanshi Pass was breached and Zong Yanhongtu was killed in battle. Changfeng County was lost and Zong Yanli came to provide assistance not long ago. The Kingdom of Qing wanted to invade the territory of Wu Kingdom in one fell swoop. It was at this time that a new army suddenly emerged in the Kingdom of Qing, which was the White Eagle Army.

Zong Yanli remembered it very clearly. It was this unprecedented White Eagle Army, which was composed of only bandits, that with 6,000 troops successively broke through three cities of the Wu State and beheaded five generals!

The leader of the White Eagle Army who stood in front of the Qing Kingdom's formation had a snow-white eagle circling above his head. It broke into the city like an eagle soaring into the sky. Zong Yanli fought with him seven times outside the city of Yuning, and the battle lasted for two days and two nights. As the two armies charged into the battle array, our army suffered 20,000 casualties before we managed to kill all of his 6,000 soldiers.

Zong Yanli also tried his best in that battle and finally defeated him.

"Long Feiguang, is it worth it for you to risk your lives for just that little money and food from the Qing Kingdom?" Long Feiguang, whose limbs were almost broken, knelt in the blood. He raised his lips and smiled, but his mouth was full of blood. He raised his head and fell down, dying on the same land with his brothers behind him.

From the beginning to the end, the White Eagle Army never retreated a single step and fought to the death here, making this mere bandit army famous throughout the world!

At that time, Zong Yanli didn't understand why the White Eagle Army could do so much for Qing Kingdom. Later, Zong Yanli realized that they were never doing it for Qing Kingdom, but for themselves.

It’s nothing more than a word of righteousness!

A gentleman's promise is worth a thousand pieces of gold.

Even if I sacrifice my life here, I will not let down the world or myself.

It was also in this battle that Zong Yanli suffered the most serious injury in his life and almost died. The military doctors in the tent were helpless and asked the general to prepare for his funeral several times. Zong Yanhongjing was so heartbroken that his hair turned white overnight. Unexpectedly, Zong Yanli miraculously recovered.

"White Eagle Army..." Zong Yanli's eyes were gloomy. She once asked her father to secretly pay attention to the location of the bandits' army, but most of the bandits' armies in Wu country were not powerful enough. Even if she wanted to search for them again, she could not enter the country's territory.

Unexpectedly, after all these twists and turns, the White Eagle Army was finally captured by the Qing Kingdom.

In the past, the Wu State was in a weak position. First the pass was breached and then Changfeng County was lost. The morale of the army was already low, but now it is different.

After Zong Yanli pondered for a while, he went to the tent privately to look for Zong Yanhongtu.

"Second uncle, if Qing Kingdom challenges us this time, let me go." Zong Yanli said as he stood in front of Zong Yanhongtu.

"Huh?" Zong Yanhongtu was a little surprised. Zong Yanli rarely volunteered to fight. He was not a warlike person, and he was not one to take credit for others' achievements. But he suddenly came here today, which made Zong Yanhongtu think deeply.

"Ali, do you know anything about the White Eagle Army?" Zong Yanhongtu was not a stupid man. He came up with some ideas after just a little thought. Although he didn't know why Zong Yanli didn't bring it up during the meeting just now, but now he talked about it in private, there must be some inside story.

Zong Yanhongtu waved his hands to the soldiers around him, signaling them to go out and guard outside the tent. Then he sat down at the table with Zong Yanli and asked, "Tell me now."

Zong Yanli considered his words for a moment, then said, "Second uncle, you should know that Pei Liang, a general under my command, was originally a general from Nankang who was captured by me and persuaded to surrender. Pei Liang's father was not from Nankang. When he was young, he was not welcomed in Nankang. He wandered around for a while and almost joined the White Eagle Army."

"There is such a thing?" Zong Yanhongtu was a little surprised.

Not to mention that Zong Yanhongtu was surprised, Pei Liang himself was also surprised. Did he have such an experience?

Zong Yanli closed his eyes and talked nonsense. Pei Liang was not here anyway, so it was most reasonable to use his identity as a shield!

"The White Eagle Army is indeed a gathering of bandits, but it is not as scattered as the ordinary bandits. It is an extremely terrifying and elite army!" Zong Yanli did not waste much time explaining and went straight to the point: "The leader of the White Eagle Army is named Long Feiguang, and the five brothers under his command are all brave and good at fighting."

"Even if it's the Ghost Battalion versus the White Eagle Army..." Zong Yanli closed his eyes and said, "It's nothing special."

Zong Yanhongtu was shocked to hear Zong Yanli's high evaluation. He could actually compete with the ghost camp's evil soldiers, and perhaps even be better than them?

Zong Yanli continued, "Long Feiguang holds a curved blade sword and is firmly in the position of the chief general. He is able to sweep across various countries and is invited by Qing Country. He is definitely not an ordinary person. I am afraid that only Luo Chengren and I in our army can fight him."

Zong Yanhongtu's expression became more serious, and he frowned and said, "Since this is the case, we need to be more cautious. Why don't we let Luo Chengren go and find out the truth about Long Feiguang first?"

"Long Feiguang is a man who puts justice first. Even if he wins by fighting, our army will suffer heavy losses."

"Since the White Eagle Army can be conquered by Qing State, why can't our army conquer it?"

"Second uncle, I don't want them to be hired or contracted like the Qing Kingdom and the White Eagle Army. What I want is for them to belong to me, Zong Yanli, from now on!"

Zong Yanhongtu's eyes suddenly brightened, he looked at Zong Yanli steadily and smiled: "Okay, okay! Ah Li, I am glad that you have such an idea, but the White Eagle Army is now working for the Qing Kingdom, how are you going to persuade them to surrender?"

Zong Yanli raised his chin slightly and smiled: "Of course I beat him into submission first."

Zong Yanhongtu: ...

Be crazy, it’s better to be a little crazy.

Without waiting for the Qing Kingdom to go into battle, Zong Yanli had already ordered his troops to go out of the pass to challenge. Not to mention that the Gao Kingdom did not expect this, even Meng Qi and others under Zong Yanli were confused, as it was really rare to see their own general being so warlike.

So much so that Monk could not help but ask Wen Nian: "What is the origin of the White Eagle Army? Is there any grudge between them and our general?"

"I don't know." Wen Nian was also confused.

"It's really rare that I can see the general personally challenging someone..." Lu Hao was also a little dazed. He never expected that his general, who looked so gentle, would be so arrogant when challenging someone.

"Hey, hey..." Bai Xiuyun seemed to be in a trance, as if his filter was broken. It turned out that our general would also engage in verbal battles to greet his ancestors!

Zong Yanli had no idea that his soldiers were shaken by the impact and were on the verge of collapse because of his cursing and challenging. Luo Chengren, who was watching the battle, clapped his thigh and cheered, saying with a beaming face: "It's so satisfying! It's so satisfying!"

"This Zong Yanli is really a wonderful person! Hahaha!" Luo Chengren looked as if he had forgotten that Zong Yanli had tricked him.

"..." Xia Liguo couldn't help laughing. He stroked his beard and squinted his eyes, and finally saw an unknown force coming out from the Qing army.

"Is that the White Eagle Army?" Xia Liguo looked intently and saw that the White Eagle Army was completely different from what he had imagined, an army of bandits with tattered equipment and disorganized formations.

The White Eagle Army was lined up in neat order, with complete weapons, armor and horses. What distinguished them from the Qing Kingdom was that they had a white flying eagle totem tied to the collar of their armor. They were equipped with bows, horses, swords and knives, so there was no doubt that they were an elite army!

Zong Yanli squinted his eyes and finally saw the man riding out on a horse.

The man riding on the white horse was wearing bronze armor with a white flying eagle totem on his collar. As he came out into the battle, a loud eagle cry was heard from the sky. The white eagle circled for a while, and when the man raised his hand, the eagle landed steadily on his arm.

Facing the warm spring sun, she saw Long Feiguang again. The man sitting on the white horse had a slightly elegant face and looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. A scar at the end of his eye added a bit of ferocity to his elegant face.

"Young General, you have a really good mouth." Long Feiguang looked at Zong Yanli and said with some scrutiny, "Since you are a fighting general, why don't you tell us your name?"

"There is no such person as General in Qing Kingdom. Could it be that you are the leader of the White Eagle Army?" Zong Yanli smiled at Long Feiguang and said, "General, you have gathered so much financial resources to form the White Eagle Army, but you actually joined the Qing Kingdom, a straw sandal army. You really don't know how to judge people!"

"No need to waste time, the White Eagle Army has never joined anyone, and it and the Qing Kingdom are just taking what they need!"

"I, Long Feiguang, do not kill nameless people with my sword. Tell me your name quickly!" Long Feiguang waved the sword in his hand and pointed it at Zong Yanli.

Zong Yanli snorted coldly and said, "You defeated generals are not worthy of knowing my name. It will not be too late to speak after you defeat me!"

Provoked by this, Long Feiguang roared and rushed forward with his sword. Although both of them used swords, they were very different. Zong Yanli used a long sword, while Long Feiguang used a broadsword. After only a brief exchange of blows, Long Feiguang realized that the man in front of him should not be underestimated.

Seeing the two people retreating after the powerful collision, Monkie and others couldn't help but feel worried. It was rare to see a general being forced to retreat during a duel. The leader of the White Eagle Army was indeed an outstanding general.

"Come again!" Long Feiguang also felt refreshed and went again with his sword in hand.

The two men fought from morning to night, from horseback to foot, which was enough to be described as evenly matched.

In the end, they all stopped fighting, sweating profusely, and agreed to fight again tomorrow!

Long Feiguang returned to the army, pressed his aching wrist and went to see Yuan Heng: "This man is unfathomable, the most I have ever met in my life, he must be a strong enemy."

After hearing what Long Feiguang said, Yuan Heng was not surprised at all, but asked: "General Long, do you have a way to win?"

"It's difficult." Long Feiguang said after pondering for a moment.

"Haha... they dare to call themselves the Iron-Blooded Army, but they were defeated in the first battle. How ridiculous!" A general under Yuan Heng's command could not help but mock.

"Hey! Don't talk nonsense!" Yuan Heng interrupted immediately, "The man fighting against General Long is not an incompetent person. He is Zong Yanli, who killed several of our generals in succession! It is extremely difficult for General Long to be undefeated against him."

"Zong Yanli?" Long Feiguang ignored the sarcastic words, but muttered Zong Yanli's name with some deep thought.

"General Long is also exhausted today, so go back and rest early." After politely asking Long Feiguang to leave, Yuan Heng turned around and angrily scolded the general who had made sarcastic remarks: "If you dare to be so presumptuous next time, this general will pull out your tongue!"

"Long Feiguang is the leader of the White Eagle Army, and was personally invited by this general. How can I allow you to be so presumptuous!"

"Who else in the army can fight against Zong Yanli now?"

"I really don't know what to say!"

Yuan Heng criticized angrily, and all the generals in the tent blushed and bowed their heads to apologize.

Yuan Heng took a deep breath and looked at everyone and said, "This White Eagle Army is quite good. Now that our army has been forced back here, we should get along well with them and make them the vanguards to clear the way for us!"

"You should be careful about your words and actions in the future and do not anger the White Eagle Army. The Wu Kingdom must have known the origins of the White Eagle Army. If you instigate and design a quarrel and make the White Eagle Army defect to the Wu Kingdom Army, we will be finished!"

Yuan Heng's words made all the soldiers agree and no one dared to say anything more.

Over there, Long Feiguang returned to his tent. His five brothers came to greet him. When they saw Long Feiguang spread out his palm and saw the bloody hand clenched in the cracked knuckles, they were immediately shocked and asked, "Brother! Is Zong Yanli so brave? "

Long Feiguang took the handkerchief they handed over and wiped his hands, while his face was solemn and he said: "What I said in front of Yuan Heng just now was not an exaggeration, but that Zong Yanli is indeed the strongest enemy I have ever seen in my life."

He frowned and clenched his fists and said, "His long sword is as heavy as a thousand pounds. With his great strength, it would be extremely difficult for me to fight him. Moreover... he seems to be very familiar with my moves?"
