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

Guns are interesting things. People who have never seen one have no idea how intimidating they are.

Even after the invention of the fire gun, although it quickly attracted the attention of the army, it was not immediately raised to the level it deserved.

After the first wave of shooting, although a large number of Shiwei cavalry fell and even the Shiwei leader himself was shot several times, they still did not stop charging.

The bullets from the pepper bottle pistol were still too small. When they hit the tall and strong Shiwei people, they could not make them lose their ability to move in a very short time.

The Shiwei people even felt that as long as they could withstand this wave of attacks and rush to the front of the Fengtian Army, they could turn the situation around.

Little did they know that the gun was fast from seven steps away, and both fast and accurate within seven steps.

The first wave of gunfire had just ended when the second wave of gunfire began.

Another three hundred bullets poured out, and the Shiwei riders in front fell down again.

Then came the third wave, the fourth wave, the fifth wave...

This is the advantage of the pepper shaker pistol. Its power is indeed very low, but it can fire continuously!

From Li Che's perspective, the group of Shiwei cavalrymen were like brainless zombies, roaring and charging forward...

Then, with a series of "bang bang bang" sounds, he fell to the ground without a sound and fell asleep.

In just a few breaths, the valley entrance in front of them was filled with the corpses of the Shiwei people.

The leader of the Shiwei who was in the front had been beaten into a sieve. His body looked like a hornet's nest. Even his mother would not dare to recognize him.

The Shiwei people in the rear continued to rush forward, but the only result waiting for them was to fall in the hail of bullets.

At this moment, there were only four words in Li Che's mind: line up and be shot!

He finally understood what those Western colonists had felt when they first set foot on the American continent and faced the indigenous people armed with spears and javelins.

Technological crushing, dimensionality reduction attack, the Trisolarans fight against the Teletubbies!

No wonder they don't regard the indigenous people as human beings. When killing one's own kind becomes so easy, the force of moral constraints will be reduced to an extremely low level.

By the time the three hundred guards had fired all the bullets from the eight gun barrels, there were no living creatures left in front of them except corpses.

The Shiwei people may not be afraid of death, but their remaining horses are!

Faced with the volley of bullets, the horses no longer obeyed the riders' orders, and ran away desperately, turning around and running away.

"Hold the gun!"

At Qu Jinshan's command, the three hundred guards all put down their pistols and put them into the gun bags at their sides.

Several more guards came forward and pulled the body of the Shiwei leader out from the pile of corpses.

Li Che took a look and couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling.

With such a dense density of bullet holes, if we take it back and weigh it, it would probably weigh a hundred pounds more!

Signaling the guards to take the man's body away, Li Che waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

Turning around, he saw Yang Zhongsi standing petrified on the spot, stunned.

. . . . . .

It was getting late, and Li Che ordered the Fengtian Army to set up camp outside the valley entrance.

Although the battle just now went smoothly, it also made Li Che start to reflect.

The battle went so smoothly that not only the soldiers under the Fengtian Army, but even he himself began to underestimate the enemy.

That was why he stretched the battle line so long, and only led the cavalry to pursue and devour the defeated Khitan soldiers.

If Yang Zhongsi hadn't been here today, he would probably have led his army into the encirclement.

Although they would definitely not end up in defeat with the presence of the personal guard battalion and armored cavalry, it was an ambush after all, so it was inevitable that the Fengtian Army would suffer some casualties.

Li Che could accept that his soldiers died on the battlefield, but it should never be caused by stupid command.

He could not help but put aside his underestimation of the enemy and did not let his soldiers attack in the dark to expand the victory. Instead, he set up camp to gather the troops coming from the rear.

In the main account.

When Yang Zhongsi entered the main tent, Yang Xuan and others immediately stepped forward. The father and daughter were overjoyed at the reunion and there was no need to mention it again.

After everyone was seated, Li Che finally asked, "Uncle Yang, after I defeated the Khitan, I sent people to look for you many times, but to no avail. Where have you been this past year?"

Yang Zhongsi smiled and said, "Prince Feng's reputation is well-known. I have heard of it even from far away in the north. I know that the Khitan and Goryeo are no match for you. With your ambition, Feng will definitely expand northward, and we will definitely encounter the Shiwei."

"I simply went to Shiwei, thinking of finding a way for Fengguo there..."

It turned out that after Yang Zhongsi and Li Che separated, they also fell into a brief period of confusion.

He was originally a general of the previous dynasty, and he fought outside the pass because he refused to surrender to Emperor Qing.

However, he suffered a great defeat in Goryeo and almost lost his entire army. Fortunately, Li Che came to his aid and he came to his senses.

The Huan Kingdom was truly destroyed. No matter how hard he, a general of the previous dynasty, tried, he would not be able to restore the country. Instead, the people living on this land would be plunged into war and infighting again.

Instead of letting our own people fight among themselves, it is better to shift our attention to other races.

So Yang Zhongsi went north to Shiwei, bringing with him hundreds of capable and battle-hardened personal guards, and in a short period of time he annexed several small Shiwei tribes.

Soon, he attracted the attention of the leaders of the major Shiwei tribes, including the old leader of the Southern Shiwei tribe.

The old leader was very old and had only one son, who was a stupid one. He was afraid that his son would not be able to take charge of the Nanshiwei tribe after his death.

So he recruited Yang Zhongsi to help him contain other forces in the clan.

Speaking of which, the old chief is also a cunning and treacherous character.

Although he treated Yang Zhongsi with courtesy, he was suspicious of his identity and never delegated power to him.

But man proposes, God disposes. The old chief died of a sudden illness last winter. Before he could leave any instructions to his son, he died on his bed.

After the death of the old leader, Nanshiwei fell into chaos. Various forces fought openly and secretly for resources, and no one took the old leader's stupid son seriously.

At this time, Yang Zhongsi stood up and gained the trust of his stupid son with just a few words. Then, he pulled up the banner of the leader of the Shiwei tribe and quickly took back the military power of the Southern Shiwei tribe.

When Yelu Dahe asked for help from the five leaders of the Shiwei tribes, Yang Zhongsi knew that the time had come. He asked his foolish son to volunteer to lead 100,000 reinforcements to the south, while he himself assisted and waited for the right opportunity.

After hearing what Yang Zhongsi said, Li Che breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle Yang, you are really..."

For a moment, Li Che couldn't find any words to describe Yang Zhongsi.

When he was young, his father died in battle, and he was favored by the emperor and adopted as his son. As an adult, he led troops to the Western Regions, where he struck fear into the hearts of many Western countries and gained great fame.

After the country was overthrown, he vowed to never surrender and led his army out of the country.

He spent his entire life on horseback, fighting from the westernmost part of Daqing to the northernmost part.

Although he is now a veteran, he still has the courage to enter the enemy country and perform such great deeds.

This veteran's life is worthy of the word legend!

Thinking of this, Li Che looked at Yang Zhongsi and asked sincerely:

"Uncle Yang, you won't leave again now that you're back, right?"
