The first time in history

Qian Mingduo looked at the spectacular scene and said to Sun Yao beside him: "This is just the beginning. We still need to let them hone their skills in actual combat." Sun Yao nodded and said: "Sir, I heard that there is a small group of Liao troops harassing the border. Can we let the new army go and give it a try?" Qian Mingduo stroked the hilt of his sword: "That's what I meant. It's time to let Liao and Jin know how powerful our new army is."

When the news of the new army heading to the border spread, the people prayed for them. Qian Mingduo rode on his horse, looking at the mighty troops behind him, feeling solemn about the unknown war, but also firm in his belief in fighting against the enemy and defending the country.

He knew very well that this new army carried the hope of the country, and that the confrontation with Liao and Jin would be a test of blood and fire for them, and he would lead them to victory and safeguard the peace of his country.

Qian Mingduo stood in front of the 50,000 new soldiers, his eyes were like torches. The morning sun shone on the soldiers' armor, reflecting a solemn and murderous atmosphere. These 50,000 new soldiers were selected after months of rigorous training, and they were responsible for guarding the border.

"Soldiers!" Qian Mingduo's voice was as loud as a bell, echoing in front of the team, "We are about to go to the border, where our people are waiting for us to protect, and our land needs us to defend. This journey may be extremely difficult and dangerous, but we will never retreat!"

"Never retreat!" Fifty thousand new soldiers shouted in unison, their voices shaking the earth and seemed to break through the sky.

The army marched towards the border in a mighty manner. Along the way, the dust flew up, and the sound of horses' hooves and footsteps intertwined, playing an exciting war song.

After several days of marching, the border's outline gradually became clear. It was a vast and slightly barren land, with rolling mountains in the distance, like the backbone of the earth.

Qian Mingduo was riding on a horse, and beside him was his deputy general Li Yong. Li Yong frowned and looked into the distance, saying, "General, the situation on the border is not optimistic. I heard that the enemy has been harassing frequently recently, and the people are suffering."

Qian Mingduo clenched his fists and said, "Humph, these jackals will never come back."

The army finally arrived at the border camp. When the soldiers guarding the camp saw the reinforcements coming, hope ignited in their eyes. An old soldier came up to greet them: "General, you are finally here. The Liao army has become more and more arrogant recently, often taking advantage of the night to attack. We are short of troops and it is difficult to deal with them."

Qian Mingduo patted the old soldier on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. Let's discuss countermeasures now."

In the tent, the generals sat together. Qian Mingduo looked at the map with a frown. Captain Zhang Meng said, "General, the enemy is good at night attacks. We can set traps around the camp and arrange ambushes. When they come, we can catch them off guard."

"Although this plan is good, the enemy is quite cunning and I'm afraid they won't fall into our trap easily." Li Yong expressed his concerns.

Qian Mingduo thought for a moment and said, "We can split our forces into two groups. One group will pretend to fall into the trap and lead them deeper into the trap area; the other group will go around to their rear and cut off their retreat."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Qian Mingduo then arranged: "Zhang Meng, you lead 20,000 soldiers to set up an ambush; Li Yong, you lead 20,000 soldiers to encircle the enemy from the rear; I will lead 10,000 soldiers to attract the enemy from the front."

That night, the moon was as bright as silver. The enemy came to attack as usual. Qian Mingduo stood in front of the camp, watching the enemy approaching. The enemy leader was a big man with a face full of flesh. When he saw Qian Mingduo in front of the camp, he laughed: "You reinforcements are just here to die."

Qian Bingduo sneered: "It is still unknown who will win."
