Xue Ding looked at his son's sorry appearance and did not get angry. He smiled and said,"Kai 'er, even if I attack, I may not be able to get benefits from these people. It is reasonable that you are not an opponent. You still need to practice hard in martial arts in the future.".

Xue Kai stabilized his mind and nodded,"Yes, father, Miss Jiang is indeed a master of the Galaxy Sect. I am convinced that I lost.".

He smiled and said,"You're ready to eat, General.".

He said,"This little girl is so cute, she's going to eat.".

He walked over to Xue Kai and patted Xue Kai's shoulder."Kai 'er, it doesn't matter if you can't beat him. Later on, you better perform well and accompany these Galaxy Sect young people well. We won't return until we get drunk!" Xue Kai finally smiled. He was very confident in his ability to drink..

Tang Jinge pondered for a moment and said,"Although drinking is strictly prohibited in Starmark Dragon Armor Camp, we can't disappoint the general's kindness today. We'll make an exception.".

In the backyard of the General's Mansion, Xue Ding ordered people to prepare a rich banquet and wine. The generals of Star Mark Dragon Armor Camp and Ningguan City gathered happily and exchanged cups. It was very lively..

Xue Kai also put away his contempt after his defeat in the battle with Jianghuai Shi. He wanted to make friends with Tang Jinge and others. Everyone was an expert, and their alcohol tolerance was naturally very good. The atmosphere of the banquet was warm, but Jianghuai Shi was nowhere to be seen..

At the beginning of the banquet, Jianghuai Shi fought with Xue Kai boldly and insisted on defeating Xue Kai at the wine table. Who knew that he would get drunk soon and lie down on the table to sleep. He was put back to his room to rest by the Dragon Armor Camp..

Fighting and drinking could promote friendship between men. After a banquet, the soldiers of Ningguan City and the disciples of Galaxy Sect got along much better..

Three days later, Xue Kai was summoned to the General's residence early in the morning by Xue Ding..

Xue Kai saw his father looking at the sand table with a serious expression and asked,"Father, what happened? You summoned me so early in the morning.".

Xue Ding pointed to a part of the sand table and said,"Last night, several patrol teams in Songhan Ridge were ambushed by the North Chu people, and dozens of brothers died.".

"Oh my God," he said,"this is the first time I've seen you in a few days.".

Xue Ding ignored Xue Kai's abuse and pointed to a place not far from Pine Cold Ridge on the sand table. He said,"Scout reports that the North Chu army that attacked should be heading towards Xueluo Ridge, which is not far from Ningguan City. I want you to lead a team of cavalry to kill them all.".

He said,"Father, you can rest assured that you have given me the strength to do so.".

Xue Ding stretched out five fingers and said,"About 500 cavalry. According to the soldiers who escaped, these guys are not very elite. They only suffered such losses because of their large number and sneak attack.".

And he said to them,"If you have five hundred men, you can eat them all.".

He said,"I don't think it's that easy, but you should bring more people.".

Xue Kai's tone was somewhat disdainful: "A mere 500 miscellaneous soldiers, not Yingzhou Snow Leopard Cavalry and Snow Ape Armored Warriors, can stir up any big waves?".

Xue Ding still had a worried expression on his face. Xue Kailang said,"Father, you just wait for my good news. This group of North Chu bastards dare to attack my Ning Guan Army. They must have the consciousness of being left behind. I will go to the army.".

"Look at Xue Kai's heroic appearance, Xue Ding had to wave his hand to let him go.".

After Xue Kai left, Xue Ding felt more and more worried. He sent someone to call Tang Jinge over..

Tang Jinge respectfully cupped his hands after seeing Xue Ding: "Tang Jinge greets the general. I don't know what the general is calling for.".

Xue Ding told Tang Jinge the cause and effect of Xue Kai's troops again. Tang Jinge frowned and said,"General, I don't think this matter is so simple. Brother Xue Kai is afraid that there is danger.".

Xue Ding saw Tang Jinge say the same, and his face became more serious. He said,"Jinge, Dragon Armor Battalion has been to Ningguan City for a few days, but they haven't really attacked yet. I hope you can lead the whole battalion to follow Xue Kai. It's best if nothing happens. If there's really an accident, save Xue Kai and the others.".

Tang Jinge cupped his hands and said,"My Dragon Armor Camp came to Ningguan City to support the general, and we waited for the general to send us..

He smiled and said,"Well, I guess the Dragon Camp is ready.".

"Yes, sir!" said Tang Jinge..

As Xue Ding had expected, Xue Kai ordered 500 elite cavalry to follow him out of the city in the shortest possible time in case the 500 enemy troops he had obtained escaped..

Tang Jinge was even faster. He arrived at the Star Mark Dragon Armor Camp. With a single command, all the Dragon Armor Camp members had assembled. Their movements were almost uniform and well-trained..

Although Xue Kai was nowhere to be seen, Xue Kai's destination was known. Moreover, Xue Kai had not left for long, so it was not difficult for the cavalry of the Dragon Armored Battalion to catch up with him..

At this moment, Xue Kai was charging at the front of the cavalry team. Five hundred cavalry were charging towards Xueluo Ridge..

He suddenly raised an arm as he was marching, a gesture that signalled that the procession was occupied.

：.

The cavalrymen behind him did not see any trace of the enemy. They tightened their ropes and stopped their horses. The cavalrymen looked at Xue Kai with a puzzled face..

Xue Kai said with a solemn expression,"Everyone, prepare for battle. There are cavalrymen following behind us. All troops are on alert!" The 500 cavalrymen immediately took action and assumed a posture backward, ready to charge at any time. However, when the enemy entered Xue Kai's line of sight, Xue Kai's tense expression relaxed..

Seeing the Starmark Dragon Armor Battalion stop in front of him, Xue Kai got off his horse and walked to Tang Jinge with a smile."Brother Jinge, where are you going?" Tang Jinge saw Xue Kai walking over and also got off his white tiger mount. He cupped his hands and said,"Brother Xue, the general is worried that there will be a conspiracy in the North Chu, so he specially ordered my Dragon Armor Battalion to kill the enemy together with Brother Xue..

Xue Kai was immediately unhappy when he heard this. He lowered his face and said,"My father is too suspicious. Isn't it just a few hundred North Chu cavalrymen? They secretly came here to kill us and return to exchange for military credits. They are already used to it. I can bring these 500 Ning Guan light cavalry to take them down. I even need to send out my brothers from the Dragon Armor Battalion. What a fuss..

Tang Jinge's face was solemn and he said,"Brother Xue, I also feel that there is something strange about this matter. It is not a big mistake to be careful. Let my Dragon Armor Camp go with you.".

Xue Kai pursed his lips and touched his chin. He pondered for a moment and said,"There is no problem going together. However, if the enemy is really a group of rabble, I hope that the brothers of Dragon Armor Camp will not attack. Let us finish them off.".

Tang Jinge calmly said,"No problem. The general ordered us to follow Brother Xue here. Of course, we have to listen to Brother Xue's words. Unless it's a critical moment, my Dragon Armor Battalion won't make a move. We'll hold the line for Brother Xue at the rear.".

And he said,"That's good, because we have a dragon army..

He went to his horse, mounted it, and raised his arm and shouted,"Boys, come with me to the battle!" Then he rode his horse, and the horse whined and ran forward..

Five hundred Ning Guan Qingqi also shouted the word "kill" and continued to advance with Xue Kai, raising a large amount of dust..

The dust had already dissipated, but Tang Jinge still didn't move. After a long time, he made a hand gesture to move forward. The Starmark Dragon Armor Battalion fell far behind Ning Guan's light cavalry and moved forward unhurriedly..

Xueluoling.

Ten Ning Guan soldiers who were responsible for patrolling carefully advanced along the path. They were one of many teams that went out to patrol..

Because there were many mountains on the border between Absolute Beginning and North Chu, the terrain was complicated. Although there was no war between the two sides, there was constant friction. If they were careless, they would be attacked by the other side. Therefore, both sides would patrol the area under their control to avoid being ambushed by the other side..

Because of this, these patrol squads are prone to accidents. Most conflicts between the two sides are caused by killing each other's patrol squads..

This kind of fighting is not only because of hatred, but also to keep the soldiers fighting. This is also what the generals of both sides want to see. Although no one will admit it, it can be said that this is a cruel but very useful training method..

This conflict is child's play compared to the brutality of war.

When hundreds of cavalrymen appeared in front of the patrolling soldiers, the squad leader shouted loudly,"Disperse! Run!" Of course, no one would be polite at this critical moment. Ten people scattered to the rear. The hundreds of North Chu soldiers split into dozens of cavalrymen and charged at them separately..

How could two legs outrun four legs? The seven armorers who fled to the rear were quickly caught up and killed, while the three team leaders who fled on the main road were stronger. After being caught up, they pulled out their sabers and counterattacked. Although they were not killed yet, they could not resist for long..

Suddenly, behind them came the rapid sound of hooves. The sound grew stronger and stronger from afar..

"Children, the scum of North Chu is right ahead. Kill them!" A young but dignified voice sounded..

"Kill!""Kill!""Kill!" Countless kill words sounded at the same time, and their aura was like a rainbow..

The remaining three patrolling armorers were overjoyed. They actually saw Ning Guan's Light Cavalry, which was their own army. A feeling of survival lingered in their hearts..

Ning Guan's Light Cavalry was indeed strong. With one charge, he killed all the ten cavalry that came to kill the three people..

These cavalrymen weren't the elites of North Chu, just as the intelligence had said. Xue Kai was confident and ordered the Ningguan Cavalry to continue charging, wanting to break through the enemy's formation in one go..

When the North Chu cavalrymen saw that there were hundreds of cavalrymen from Absolute Beginning, they killed more than ten of their comrades in one move. Of course, they couldn't hold back their anger. A guy who looked like a general shouted loudly, and the North Chu cavalrymen also started charging. The two cavalrymen with similar numbers collided, and a great battle was imminent..

More than a dozen Northern Chu cavalry charging at the forefront lost their lives almost the moment they collided with the Ningguan light cavalry. Xue Kai became even more disdainful of this group of Northern Chu cavalry when he saw this, and he killed a cavalry casually..

As time passed, the North Chu cavalrymen suffered heavy losses. The general-like guy shouted,"Retreat!" The North Chu cavalrymen retreated like a tide. Although they were chaotic, their speed was very fast. Xue Kai continued to chase excitedly. In the battle just now, Ning Guan's light cavalry killed more than a hundred North Chu cavalrymen at the cost of more than ten casualties. It could be said to be a great victory..
