As expected by Luo Chong, there was no attack that night. The Qingyuan cavalry could not move faster than the Luo family's cavalry. Even if they came from a radius of a hundred miles, it would take a whole day. Moreover, their commander is not a fool. He cannot launch an attack rashly before he has a clear understanding of the enemy's strength.
"Leave? Or continue to wait?"
At dawn, Meng Danzhong came to Luo Chong to ask. He was so worried that he must not have slept well.
"Of course I have to leave."
Luo Chong replied calmly: "Rest when it's time to rest, and set off when it's time to go. I won't be scared to the point of cowering in place."
Meng Danzhong wanted to refute: Didn¡¯t you say yesterday that the place where the camp was set up could be attacked or defended, and it occupies the advantage of the terrain? Why has this changed again?
I think about it, but I definitely can¡¯t say it out loud. Anyway, I just can¡¯t guess and can¡¯t understand every step of Luo Chong¡¯s rhythm.
Set off!
Five hundred cavalrymen, including yesterday¡¯s wounded, were able to stay on horseback. Fortunately, the princess¡¯s carriage could not go too fast, and the wounded had internal strength to support them, so it was not too hard.
After only walking twenty miles, the scout reported: "More than a thousand Qingyuan cavalry were found more than ten miles north. There should be four battalions, twelve hundred cavalry"
Twelve hundred Qingyuan cavalry are not too many.
Luo Chong nodded silently and estimated in his mind: If it were a fierce frontal battle, a quarter of his five hundred cavalry would probably be lost, or even more.
Regardless, the Qingyuan cavalry came from the north, but we were heading west. Both parties were running. It would take a long time for them to catch up.
The more people there are, the slower the journey will be, that¡¯s for sure. Regardless of the fact that we have the princess's carriage dragging us down, their more than a thousand riders can't go any faster. The current gap of more than ten miles will slowly close at the speed of a tortoise.
Not long after, several other scouts who went to the west to explore the road in advance also came back and immediately reported: Twenty miles ahead, there is a Lanma River. Although the river is not wide, the water is several meters deep. The bridge is a stone bridge, as wide as one meter. Zhangduo is the best position to intercept the enemy.
"Lanma River? Lanma River."
Luo Chong smiled: "That's a good name, okay, it's right there!"
Then he gave the order: "Advance at full speed, no lunch, we must get ahead of the enemy and occupy the stone bridge that blocks the horse!"
The princess¡¯s motorcade was also forced to speed up. Vehicles in this era had poor shock absorbers, so the princess¡¯s delicate body naturally couldn¡¯t be very comfortable inside.
"General Luo, are they chasing you?"
Yongning opened the car window and called Luo Chong over.
"One thousand, two hundred riders, not a lot."
Luo Chong nodded: "They haven't figured out our true identity yet, and they won't dare to act rashly in a short period of time. Next, there should be enemy scouts following our footsteps to catch up and investigate."
Before Yongning could continue to ask, he smiled and replied: "Don't worry, since their scouts are here, they can't go back. They won't be able to understand the situation within two or three hours."
Then he asked her: "Your Highness, do you want to ask what to do after two or three hours?"
"Yes."
Yongning blinked instead of nodding. The veil covered the area below the bridge of the nose, but just those phoenix eyes looked a little cute and cute at this moment.
"There is a river ahead and a bridge over the river."
Luo Chong pointed forward: "In a few hours, the river will be dyed red with their blood. Of course, there may be a little bit of ours."
Seeing his relaxed look, Yongning couldn't help but ask: "Are you always so confident? Is there nothing that can scare you?"
"have."
Luo Chong replied: "But not in this world."
Yongning couldn't really understand the meaning of his words. He just thought it meant the underworld and the world, so he didn't pay attention. Instead, he asked tentatively: "Have you ever thought about how many soldiers you need to truly conquer the world? "
Luo Chong knew the meaning of her words. What she really wanted to ask was: To what extent do you have to develop before you have the confidence to keep the Qingyuan Army out of the country for a long time?
For the sake of the Jin Dynasty, she even hoped that she would become another independent Mu Hanshan and guard the northern border for their royal family.
¡°The best defense is offense.¡±
Luo Chong replied: "This time, the Qingyuan Army has come with 20,000 cavalry. Well, I only need 20,000 cavalry to enter the Qingyuan territory and turn their land into a mess."
"Twenty thousand cavalry?"
Yongning frowned slightly, she also knew that the Jin Dynasty¡¯s nativeThere are very few horses. Let¡¯s not talk about the combat effectiveness of the cavalry. It is just that it is difficult to gather tens of thousands of horses.
Obviously, this is not the answer she wants to hear. She just hopes that someone can secure the border like Mu Hanshan. There is no need to go into the enemy's hinterland to do so.
Her expression made Luo Chong laugh. He said, "So I say, no matter how hard you try, it's already too late."
"If it's really too late, how can you realize your ambition to conquer the world?"
Her Highness the Princess became a little sullen and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Have you become a minister of the country's subjugation and conquered the world for other monarchs?"
"Hey, are you angry now?"
Luo Chong thought to himself, I haven¡¯t said anything even worse yet.
However, facing such a princess who was not annoying and even worthy of respect, Luo Chong, no matter how scoundrel he was, was too embarrassed to cry angrily to her, so he replied: "Although I can't control others, it is absolutely impossible for me to do anything to Qingyuan Country." Or the foreigners like Jinxia Kingdom will surrender. Perhaps, what I mean by galloping across the world is to lead my soldiers wherever they go, kill them wherever they go, and kill a few more invaders for the people of this land until the day they die on the battlefield. ¡±
¡° Regardless of whether it was pretense or acting, these words were still somewhat tragic. When Her Royal Highness heard them, she immediately lost her temper.
Never give in to aliens!
Yongning felt that his words were still worthy of belief.
As for what Luo Chong just said about his own soldiers, not the imperial court's soldiers, she can tolerate this statement. After all, there is an obvious truth: the royal family is not kind to him, why should he demand his loyalty?
It¡¯s a pity that my father doesn¡¯t understand such a simple truth. He always feels that giving you an official position is a great favor.
As everyone knows, the so-called official positions are obtained by people through merit and means. They deserve it. If you give it, it is what you deserve. If you give more, that is called favor.
Therefore, Luo Chong blatantly showed no loyalty to the royal family, and Yongning didn't think there was anything wrong. It was impossible for him to be loyal to someone for no reason.
So, what can I give him?
Yongning sighed in his heart: So far, I only owe him the escort.
"Almost, I already understand what kind of person you are."
After a moment of silence, Yongning whispered to Luo Chong: "You only have this country and this nation in your heart, not a certain emperor or a certain court, right?"
Luo Chong nodded with a smile: "Your Highness is wise, that's about it."
If such words fall into the ears of other members of the royal family and then spread to the current emperor, it will simply be a suicide attempt, but for Yongning, there is no need to cover up. As I said just now, she is a respectable princess, how could she not even have this bit of character.
"That's good."
Yongning said to himself in his heart: "Having a national sentiment in mind proves that he can get better"
