Li You really underestimated the ruthlessness of the cannibal.

Yesterday evening, after the banquet, Baihu and Qualcomm discussed the competition with Ario, the leader of the Khurasan cavalry. The two sides agreed to send out 100 people to conduct a confrontation exercise.

Based on the original intention of friendly discussions, Baihu proposed to ask Ario to prepare wooden swords and guns to prevent casualties.

Who would have thought that Ario, who was tall and big, looked at the White Tiger and Qualcomm who were nearly a shorter than him, and said with a sarcastic look: "You Tang Dynasty people really don't have the courage to use wooden swords and guns to fight, so do you have the nerve to bring it up?"

After listening to the translation of the translation, Qualcomm angrily opened his eyes. He clenched his fists, raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak, Baihu said first: "General Ario, the people of the Tang Dynasty and you cannibals are friends and friendly forces. The two sides compete and exchanged martial arts to enhance friendship.

Is there anything wrong with using wood swords and guns to avoid accidental injuries?”

Ario shook his huge head and said disdainfully: "Since it's a competition, you must decide the outcome.

As a soldier, we are the first priority. With wooden swords and guns, we know that we will not die, how can we test the bravery of the soldier and how can we truly decide the outcome?

Our soldiers in Dashi are all warriors. If you Tang Dynasty people are afraid of death, they are not worthy of competing with our soldiers in Dashi.

Since that's the case, you can just admit defeat. Acknowledge that your Tang Dynasty soldiers are cowards and defeated generals under our Dashi soldiers."

Ario's words had reached this point, and Baihu had no room for retreat. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, that's it."

Ario grinned and said, "This is almost the same."

Baihu has been following Li You for many years and has grown up now. The reason why he dared to make a decision to agree to this matter was definitely not caused by impulse.

The great cannibals were eyeing him and were determined to win the Angot Province. He had already gathered more than 200,000 troops here and would launch an attack on Kabul at any time.

The appearance of the Tang army made the cannibals unable to make up their minds for a moment. They tried every means to test the people of the Tang Dynasty, trying to figure out the true strength of their opponents. Once they found that the Tang army's combat effectiveness was not good, they would immediately turn against each other.

Competitions with real swords and guns will not only cause casualties to the Tang army, but also cause casualties to the great cannibals. Why does the great cannibals still do this?

Ario was just the commander of the Khorasan cavalry. He had no right to make such a decision. Someone behind him must be instructing him. It must be that in order to test the true combat effectiveness of the Tang army, the senior officials of the Dashi Army would rather sacrifice the lives of these 100 soldiers.

In fact, doing this sounds cruel, but for the safety of hundreds of thousands of soldiers of Dashi, the actions of the senior executives of Dashi military are understandable.

Under such circumstances, the people of the Tang Dynasty had no room for retreat.

Baihu knew Li You and knew that he would never agree to sacrifice the lives of the Tang army soldiers in vain. Therefore, Baihu took the initiative to assume this responsibility.

He said: "General Ario, I agree with you, but I think that since it is a competition, there will inevitably be casualties and injuries. I hope that this will not affect the friendship between the two armies.

Therefore, I suggest that both sides sign a life-and-death case before the competition. No matter what the casualties of both sides are, they cannot retaliate afterwards."

The intention of the senior executives of the Dashi Army was only to test the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, and did not mean to make enemies with the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Ario agreed readily. Then, the general translation wrote a letter of guarantee in the text of Dashi and Tang Dynasty, and the two sides signed a life and death clause.

After Baihu and Qualcomm returned, they did not report to Li You directly, but came to the Flying Tiger Army troops who followed Li You.

Qualcomm assembled the troops, but he was not good at speaking, so he let Baihu speak.

Baihu looked at the neatly arranged soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army and said seriously: "Brothers, tomorrow morning, you will compete with the Khurasan cavalry, the most elite unit of Dashi.

This competition is real and a real bloody battle.

This competition or battle, the Tang Dynasty must win, which is related to the life of the prince and the lives of millions of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty. It is of great significance.

Do you understand?"

The soldiers replied in unison: "I understand!"

Qualcomm said: "Brothers, the Flying Tiger Army was founded by the prince. We cannot embarrass the prince. Tomorrow I will join you to show the power of the soldiers of the Tang Empire!"

After saying that, he raised his fist and shouted loudly: "Flying Tiger Army."

The soldiers shouted together: "I will win!"

The movements of the Flying Tiger Army alarmed Li You, and he asked, "What's the situation?"

Hao Junjie said: "Prince, General Bai and General Gao are back, and they went directly to the Flying Tiger Army."

Li You nodded and said, "When they come back, ask them to come and see me."

"Yes, Prince." Hao Junjie said.

Hao Junjie walked towards the yard where the Flying Tiger Army was stationed, and was seeing Baihu and Qualcomm coming out. He went up and said, "Two generals, the prince invites you over."

Baihu and Qualcomm came to Li You and knelt down together before they could speak.

Li You felt a little "sudden" in his heart, not knowing what happened. He asked, "What happened? Get up and talk."

Baihu and Qualcomm couldn't get up, Baihu said, "Prince, the big cannibal is going to compete with us. The young man did not ask you for instructions and agreed without authorization."

Qualcomm also said: "There are still ministers, please punish me."

Li You knew about the fact that he wanted to compete with the cannibals. He didn't understand what was wrong with this matter. He said, "Get up and talk."

Baihu and Qualcomm stood up.

Baihu said, "Prince, this is the matter..." He told the whole story.

Qualcomm said: "Prince, it's not Baihu's fault for this matter. I can't stand the arrogance of the great cannibals, so I agreed to them." He tried to make excuse for Baihu.

Li You really couldn't have imagined that the great cannibal would be so cruel. He was silent.

Li You really didn't want the Flying Tiger Army soldiers who followed him to die in vain. However, he thought about it for a long time and had no way to change this matter.

He was silent for a while, sighed and said, "You did it right, this matter was handled well."

Baihu and Qualcomm were very happy to get the prince’s affirmation and smiled on their faces.

Li You said: "It's already like this, so be prepared and strive to win this battle tomorrow."

He stood up and said, "You guys come with me."

Li You brought Baihu and Qualcomm to the Flying Tiger Army's headquarters again.

Li You stood in front of the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army who gathered together again. He said, "The battle you are about to engage in is of great importance, so I will not say anything extra. I here to assure you:

Those who participate in tomorrow's battle will be able to survive will be promoted to two levels of officers and soldiers to officers. Those who are disabled will be responsible for resettlement, while those who are killed in battle will be responsible for supporting their immediate relatives."

Hearing His Highness the promises of His Highness Qi, these officers and soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army were truly at ease.

After the Tang army officers and soldiers were disabled or died in battle, the state took certain care of themselves or their families, but this care was a drop in the bucket and was insignificant.

The prince’s promise was different. It was a real care, and the soldiers no longer had any worries. The morale of the officers and soldiers increased.
