Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 446 You Old 6

One hundred and fifty miles, for the light cavalry team, if they are fast, they can arrive in just one hour.

Lin Feng had no choice but to order everyone to stop resting and prepare for battle.

Chu Jiao also immediately gave orders for all the soldiers in the heavy armored battalion to put on their armor and stand by.

Li Donglai and Lin Qiaomei were on the left and right wings, Chu Jiao's heavy armored battalion was in the middle, and all the soldiers stayed on the gentle slope, waiting for the arrival of the Tartars.

Instead of having a hot meal, I could only munch on some dry food while waiting.

Chu Jiao's 3,000 heavy armored soldiers were all wearing heavy armor, with their war horses standing by.

The armored soldiers sat on the ground.

The three captains of the heavy armored battalion are Gong Sanpao, Shao Yihan, and Tian Yongdong.

All three of them are tall and strong.

They gathered beside Chu Jiao and looked into the distance.

"Boss, I haven't seen anything yet. It's tiring to wait like this."

Gong Sanpao was originally the chief guard of Hu Jincai. Because of his excellent martial arts, he was recommended to the heavy armored battalion as a captain of a thousand men.

He was promoted twice in a row and was very proud of himself.

He has a hot temper and doesn't submit to anyone.

But after several battles, he was convinced by Chu Jiao and developed admiration for her.

Chu Jiao didn't dislike this tall and mighty man.

"It's hard to put on this heavy armor. By the time you see the enemy cavalry, it will be too late to prepare."

Gong Sanpao frowned and said, "This heavy armor is indeed safe to fight with, but it's not very exciting."

Shao Yihan is a steady and taciturn man. When he heard Gong Sanpao say this, he couldn't help but say.

"Three shots aren't enough. Didn't you see how we killed the Tartars? Didn't our heavy armored battalion make up more than half of the entire army?"

Chu Jiao smiled at Shao Yihan: "Yihan is right, I asked you to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, not to have fun."

Tian Yongdong also spoke up: "General Lin said, safety first, always safety first."

"Tsk, you're the best at memorizing slogans."

Gong Sanpao replied disdainfully.

Chu Jiao said solemnly, "General Lin's slogans must be known by heart. Sanpao, I asked you to learn to read. How many words do you know now?"

When he heard her ask this, Gong Sanpao immediately wilted.

"Uh... one, two, three... six..."

Shao Yihan and Tian Yongdong laughed.

Chu Jiao angrily slapped Gong Sanpao on the helmet.

"Six, I'll give you six, you old six."

"Hey, hey, hey, stop hitting me. I know seven of them. Seven..."

Chu Jiao stopped hitting his helmet and pointed at Gong Sanpao's nose.

"I'm telling you, even though you're a captain now, if you can't read, I'll send you to dig a canal."

"what!"

Gong Sanpao was dumbfounded. If he wanted to understand all those complicated things, it would be better to let him attack the Tatar cavalry of a thousand men alone.

Shao Yihan and Tian Yongdong giggled beside them.

Chu Jiao glared at them.

"What are you laughing at? You know a lot of words. I'm asking you, can you write a battle report?"

The two of them stopped laughing and stared at Chu Jiao blankly, unable to speak.

As for recognizing words, they did know quite a few.

However, if they were asked to write a battle report themselves, it would probably be difficult for them.

Chu Jiao pointed at the three tall men.

"Don't blame me for not explaining it clearly. Learning to read and write is a must in the future. Otherwise..."

She sighed: "Alas, your future ends here."

"Boss, it's not that serious, right?"

"Humph, it's much more serious than that. General Lin once said that an army that knows how to fight and is able to fight must have culture. An army without culture has no soul... Well, that's it."

She also forgot what was said afterwards.

Gong Sanpao gritted his teeth and said, "Boss, I can learn to read, but you have to promise me one thing."

Chu Jiao glanced at him and said, "Shut up. You must know more than a thousand words before you can make requests to me."

Although neither of them said it out loud, they knew what the other was talking about.

The four people were silent. Shao Yihan and Tian Yongdong noticed that there was an inexplicable emotion entangled between Chu Jiao and Gong Sanpao.

Li Donglai's light cavalry battalion and the three brothers Tao Jinwang, who were stationed on the left wing, also gathered together.

Tao Erhu looked at the heavy armored battalion in the distance with envy.

"Brother Jinwang, I wish we could join the Heavy Armor Battalion someday."

Tao Jinwang took a glance and said, "With your physique, forget it. Dazhuang still has a chance."

Tao Dazhuang said in a muffled voice: "I'm following Brother Jinwang and I'm not going anywhere."

Tao Jinwang patted his shoulder and said, "That's right, Dazhuang. We have to use our brains in battle. The Heavy Armor Battalion is just a tool."

Tao Erhu was dejected: "I have no physique and no brains."

"Then just follow me, you've risen all the way up."

"Hey, Brother Jinwang, you said Linfeng and I are from the same hometown, why don't you take care of me?"

Tao Erhu asked in a low voice.

Tao Jinwang glared and said, "Brother Lin Feng only looks at ability. There are so many fellow villagers, who will take care of them?"

"I don't have the ability."

Tao Erhu pouted.

"It doesn't matter if you don't have the ability. You can succeed by being loyal and obedient."

"Loyal? Obedient..."

Tao Jinwang pointed at him and said, "That's right. And you must have beheaded quite a few Tartars, right? Your family has also been allocated dozens of acres of land. At worst, you're a landlord."

"I don't want to be a landlord, I want to be a general."

"Just follow me..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard someone shouting.

"Report, the Tartar cavalry is approaching thirty miles."

In the distance, soldiers were riding their horses up the gentle slope.

Along with the cavalry's report, Lin Feng's order also came.

"Everyone, prepare to fight."

There was a series of crashing sounds all over the gentle slope.

With weapons in hand, the soldiers mounted their horses, listened to the commands, found their positions, and the entire team lined up.

Tao Jinwang stared at the two brothers.

"Follow closely then, wrap the knife with a piece of cloth to keep it in your hand, and hold on to the shield as well..."

Tao Dazhuang laughed and said, "Brother Jinwang, you always say this, I've already memorized it."

Tao Jinwang glanced at the soldiers around him.

"Remember this well. Remember this: team, team, team. Important things should be said three times. This is what General Lin taught us."

"Don't worry, Boss. I've remembered everything."

"I say it every time. Even a fool would remember it."

Everyone said one after another.

Tao Jinwang gritted his teeth and shouted.

"Humph, I'm afraid that if you try to show off your abilities, you'll end up losing your lives, and your wives and children will become someone else's."

"Boss, I don't have a wife yet."

"Then the boss will marry you."

"I have no wife or home, my land has been confiscated, and I have no place to bury my dead."

"Bah, General Lin said that if you die you'll be a hero and there's a special cemetery waiting for you."

"Oh my god, you're the one who died..."

The atmosphere of the entire team was very relaxed. Facing the Tatar cavalry, they already felt like they had been through many battles.

Everyone reminded and teased each other.

In the distant wilderness, a black torrent appeared.

The dust raised by countless war horses rolled up into the sky.
