We have fought to the Arctic Circle, and you want me to inherit the throne?

On the muddy snow ground, dozens of light cavalrymen walked on the snow, heading straight towards the outskirts of the distant city.

The cavalrymen were all wearing light leather armor, with sabers hanging from their waists, and either longbows or muskets strapped to their backs.

"You old fool, I really believed your lies!" Li Lin forced himself to suppress the surprise in his heart, stared at Li Che's back in front of him, and shouted.

I thought that no matter how brave Li Che was, at most he would take me to see Dongping County from a distance and listen to the scout's report on the situation in person.

No one expected that this guy would directly order dozens of light cavalry and head straight for the outer camp of the county town.

The distance was so close that Li Lin could even see the outline of the city wall in the distance and the flags flying above the camp outside the city.

At this distance, any sane general of the enemy would send troops to intercept.

"Hahaha!" Li Che laughed in response, "Sixth brother, why are you so timid? These horses of mine are top-notch grassland horses. Even outside the Great Wall, they are first-rate horses."

"Even if the rebel cavalry had eight legs, they definitely wouldn't be able to catch up to us, so don't worry!"

Li Lin was just about to say something when he saw that the Fengtian Army cavalrymen around him all looked calm and composed, as if they were not surprised by Li Che's abrupt behavior.

Who are these people? You're the personal guards, and you don't even know how to stop him?!

Apart from the two of them, is there any other prince in the world who would personally go to investigate the enemy situation?

Li Lin couldn't resist the challenge in the end, so he gritted his teeth and said nothing more.

Li Che grinned, whipped the whip, and sped up again.

He was not a mindless and reckless person. This time he came out to investigate in person. Besides being a bit bored staying in the military camp, he also had his own plans.

Although most of the Yan army were from the north, they were not outside the Great Wall after all, and their riding and archery skills could not be compared with those of his own personal soldiers.

The Fengtian cavalry came and went like the wind, and with the two top generals Yingbu and Jitaihan by their side, unless they rushed into the enemy camp headfirst, the enemy would not even be able to get a whiff of their exhaust.

With such a powerful force, what is there to be afraid of? We must at least catch a few tongues and take them back!

At this moment, Li Lin suddenly shouted, "Oh no! Lao Liu, the rebel scouts are coming!"

Li Che came to his senses and looked forward.

Sure enough, the arrogant behavior of his group finally alarmed the enemy, and about a hundred cavalrymen were coming from the side with murderous intent!

"Run!" Li Lin was horrified.

"Just in time!" Li Che looked excited.

He immediately drew the carved bow from the saddle, not surprised but delighted: "Follow me, the king!"

Li Che led the way, with two powerful generals, Ying Bu and Ji Taihan, following on his left and right, and dozens of light cavalry following closely behind.

"No... Lao Liu, you!" Li Lin was stuck in the middle, and the horse under him also sped up. His ears were filled with the sound of wind and horse hooves. As soon as he said something, his words were torn into pieces by the strong wind.

He could only complain inwardly.

Is this how Lao Liu usually fights? He is too stubborn to be defeated!

The two cavalry units charged towards each other and closed the distance between them in the blink of an eye.

The enemy's scouts had already drawn their bows and arrows, waiting for the distance to get closer so that they could use their numerical advantage to shoot back.

However, Li Che would never give them this opportunity and shouted, "Ready your muskets!"

Nearly half of the dozens of riders removed the muskets from their backs and skillfully loaded gunpowder on horseback.

When the two sides were close to a distance of 200 steps, Li Che suddenly raised his hand.

More than thirty guns were raised at the same time, pointing at the rebel scouts gathered in front.

bang bang bang-

The sound of gunfire like frying beans rang out, and Li Lin only saw a cloud of smoke bursting out around him. In an instant, more than a dozen scouts on the opposite side fell off their horses and were stunned.

He knew the advantages of the Fengtian Army's firearms, and these firearms played a great role in the war against Goryeo.

But I didn’t expect it to be so beneficial!

Being able to take the enemy's life from a distance of 200 steps, isn't this really a supernatural method?

The guards were equipped with Feng State's most advanced matchlock rifles, with a stable range of 150 to 200 meters.

The range of ancient bows and arrows is generally around 100 meters, and the effective range is between 80-90 meters.

Strong marksmen equipped with some high-quality bows can achieve a longer range, but obviously there are no such masters among the rebels on the opposite side.

Even though they were not yet within the range of the arrows, more than a dozen of their companions fell off their horses for unknown reasons, and the rebel scouts were thrown into chaos.

The rebels did not dare to use Yan army soldiers as sentinels, so these sentinels were composed of bandits and refugees.

Now that only one out of ten men was gone, the morale of the army was already in turmoil. Many of them dropped their bows and arrows, turned their horses around and ran away.

How could Li Che let them go? He galloped his horse to close the distance, bent his bow and drew his arrow, and called out the names of the cavalrymen who fell behind one by one like the King of Hell calling out his names.

The other half of the guards also drew their bows and fired, and many unlucky ones fell off their horses with screams. Hundreds of scouts completely lost their fighting power and collapsed and scattered.

Li Che did not continue to chase, but asked his personal guards to find a few living rebel scouts who fell off their horses, knock them out, put them on horses and take them away.

The cavalry mounted their horses and rode away, not stopping until they reached a hidden forest.

"Are you all alive?" Li Che dismounted and asked.

A guard bowed and said, "Your Highness, we caught seven tongues. Three of them died from injuries sustained during the jolting of the horses. Four are still alive."

"Well," Li Che found a stone and sat down with a straight face. "Let's have a trial."

Li Lin came to Li Che in a trance and still hasn't come back to his senses.

The Fengtian Army's combat methods were so bizarre that they completely shattered the understanding of this frontier prince.

He instantly defeated a hundred-man scout team, captured the prisoners, and then turned around and left. The whole process was smooth and flowing, like a ghost.

Li Lin asked himself that even if he led the Yan army to fight against such an enemy, he would never be able to think of a countermeasure.

Li Che can completely use this method to eliminate all the scattered scouts outside and make the opposing commander blind!

The four tongues had no gunshot or arrow wounds on their bodies. They all fell off their horses due to poor riding skills and only had some minor injuries.

However, these people were quite tough. When they saw Li Che, they not only did not beg for mercy, but instead called him a dog official.

"You bastard! Don't even think about getting a single word out of me!"

"I act on behalf of Heaven and respect the King from afar. When I decided to rebel against this rotten imperial court, I put my head on my belt."

"You, a dog official, are well-dressed and look like a human being, but you are also a running dog of the court. I will..."

"How dare you!" A guard raised the hilt of his knife and was about to strike him down, but Li Che raised his hand to stop him.

"Respecting the King from afar? How come I don't know this?" Li Che said coldly, "I am the King!"

"You are a dagger..."

The man spoke eloquently, but was interrupted by a slap from a personal guard when he was halfway through saying the word "比".

Damn it, if he really lets this guy say such filthy words, I won’t be able to be a personal guard anymore.

Li Che's face suddenly darkened, and he waved behind him: "Are there any people from the criminal camp? Take them away, take them away, and let this king have a thorough interrogation!"

Several guards from the criminal camp immediately stepped forward, dragged a few tongues into the grove, and used the methods of the "Minister of Punishment".

The screams echoed in the forest, startling a flock of birds.
