If I let you stay in Lingnan, how could you become the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty?

Chapter 79 The bandits can go, and I can go too
"I asked you to finish off the enemy with a knife, but who told you to finish off the enemy with a gun? Bullets and gunpowder are free, right?"

Li An looked at Xue Rengui with a cold expression, his eyes were as cold as two knives!

Xue Rengui was stunned, and quickly lowered his head, listening obediently to Li An's reprimand.

"Everyone in our Cavalry Guard Shenji Battalion is given 200 rounds of ammunition when they set out. Doesn't that seem like a lot?"

Li An had a cold expression on his face, staring at Xue Rengui, and spoke in a deep voice.

Xue Rengui didn't dare to say anything, but he didn't think he was wrong.

It's just a bullet!

It doesn't seem like it's a big deal.

The battle just now was not enjoyable, can't you enjoy it now?

Li An looked at him and snorted coldly:
"Let me tell you, these two hundred rounds are far from enough!"

"Who knows how far we will fight against the Turks this time, and how long it will take!"

"I spent a lot of effort to get our bullets from Lingnan. Every bullet was hard-earned. Outside of Lingnan and Chang'an, there is no place to get them!"

"If two hundred rounds of ammunition are wasted like this, where will we get the replenishment?"

"When the time comes, do you really want to lead these 500 people to charge in like those Turkic fools?"

"What do you think the chances of these 500 people winning against thousands of Turkic wolf riders are?"

"How useful will your military tactics and courage be when the time comes?"

"Do you want to be a winner, or do you want to lie on the ground like a dead man like them?"

Li An pointed at the corpses of the Turkic wolf riders on the ground and shouted a series of questions like a deafening sound.

At this time, Xue Rengui's face turned pale and red, and he lowered his head and remained silent.

He didn't want to be a loser and a dead man.

Without their muskets and bullets, the 500-man Hussar Guard Shenjiying soldiers would not be much stronger than the ordinary Tang Dynasty soldiers.

If we encounter thousands of Turkic wolf riders like this, it will be difficult to win.

When the other soldiers heard Li An's angry rebuke, they just stood there in silence.

In their impression, the Sixth Prince was always smiling and looked unserious.

This time, they saw for the first time the coldness and majesty of this prince!

At this time, Feng Lang looked at Li An silently and took a deep breath.

He had seen it before!
His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince is probably always smiling and looks very approachable.

But when he really got on the battlefield, he was more ferocious, stronger and more ruthless than anyone else!
This was what he did when he attacked the Baiyue barbarians in Lingnan.

During a battle, he would be the first to brandish his sword, roaring and charging forward against the arrows hurled at him.

However, after the victory, he would drink big bowls of wine, eat big chunks of meat, and laugh loudly with his fellow soldiers, like a child who had not grown up.

Everyone has two sides.

And there are two sides of His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince, each of which is very moving!
Li An glanced at Xue Rengui:
"Captain Xue Rengui wasted ammunition for no reason. You will be fined one month's salary!"

Upon hearing his punishment, all the soldiers were shocked and speechless.

Wasting a bullet would result in a one-month salary fine.

Never waste it again!
Xue Rengui blushed and fell to the ground, saying loudly and respectfully:

"I know I was wrong and I am willing to accept the punishment!"

Li An nodded, motioned for the other party to stand up, and then said loudly:
"Clean up the battlefield quickly!" "Yes!"

A group of soldiers responded one after another, and then used the bayonets at their waists to quickly kill those Turkic soldiers who were not yet dead.

Soon, the wounded Turks who were still groaning on the ground were stabbed again and then sent to their Eternal Heaven.

Feng Lang came over at this time:

"Your Highness, what should we do next?"

Li An thought for a moment:
"Although this place is close to the Turkic sphere of influence, it is also close to the border of the Tang Dynasty. There won't be too many Turkic people here. After all, they have to concentrate on dealing with the 100,000 Tang troops in Suzhou!"

"So, these Turkic cavalry are probably here to take advantage of our situation. It would be best if they can capture me, the prince of the Tang Dynasty. If they can't, they will just rob me. So we don't need to be too nervous!"

"After cleaning up the battlefield, rest here for a while and wait for the scouts' report!"

The Cavalry Guards Shenji Battalion then rested on the spot, eating the dry food and dried meat they brought with them to replenish their strength.

By evening, two scouts who had followed the Turkic deserters returned and reported to Li An that the Turkic camp was about a hundred miles away.

There was only one Turkic camp there, and judging from the number of tents, there were only about a thousand.

Most of these Turkic soldiers were killed or wounded in this battle. Together with the Turks in the camp, there should be about a thousand of them.

Li An nodded and waved his hand to let the scout go back and rest.

Feng Lang saw a hint of excitement gradually appearing in his eyes, and he guessed what the Sixth Prince wanted to do.

"Your Highness, isn't it too dangerous for us to go deep into the enemy territory alone?"

"In my opinion, it would be safer to continue marching and meet Duke Qiao after reaching Suzhou!"

Li An couldn't help but grin after hearing this:
"Xiao Feng, if you like playing it safe, why don't you go home, marry a big-butt woman, have a bunch of kids, and farm the land honestly? What are you doing here?"

Feng Lang couldn't help but blush.

Fortunately, he had long been accustomed to the Sixth Prince's temper, so he didn't take it to heart.

However, Xue Rengui and other centurions tried to hold back their laughter, but their faces turned red.

Li An smiled and said:

"Wealth and honor are sought in danger, and so is war!"

"Our war with the Turks is not about the gains and losses of cities or places, because the Turks don't even have any cities!"

"They are like wolves on the grassland, coming and going with the wind. If you don't catch the chance to kill them, they will pop up again and bite you sooner or later!"

"So, to deal with the Turks, we must grab them and beat them hard, beat them until they are crippled! Beat them until they die! Beat them until they are scared when they see us, and run away as far away as mice see a cat!"

"The enemy can go, and I can go too!"

"Who says we have to guard the city obediently and attack little by little according to the plan? They can come and go like the wind and run away after the fight, so can we!"

Xue Rengui, Feng Lang and the others were so moved by these words that they all stood up:
"Your Highness, please give the order on how to fight!"

Li An nodded:

"Pass the order down, immediately mobilize the troops to the vicinity of the Turkic camp and launch an attack tonight!"

"In this battle, I will make our Hussar Guard Shenjiying famous, and make all the Turkic tribes on the grasslands so scared that they dare not sleep when they hear my name!"

"I want to make these self-important grassland barbarians tremble like sieves when they see the flag of my Sixth Prince's Cavalry Guard Shenji Camp!"

"I want my name to make cows and horses afraid to produce milk, women afraid to give birth, and children afraid to cry at night on the grassland!"
