We'll have you impersonate the Crown Prince and create a prosperous era for the Great Qian Dyna

Why did the second child change so much?

The reason is very simple.

Under the leadership of their eldest son, they never gave the crown prince a friendly look.

Now that the second son had heard the Crown Prince's words and knew that the Crown Prince was sincere towards them, he suddenly felt ashamed.

Especially when the Crown Prince said he wanted the ten of them to reunite and had prepared an escape route long ago, the second prince felt both guilty and moved. How could this change not be significant?

He returned to the training camp, entered the leader's tent, and saw the leader and his men eating meat. He immediately became furious.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is currently holding a grand competition at the hunting grounds, and you still have the mind to eat meat here?"

"I am ashamed to be associated with you!"

That's a rather serious statement.

You know, they grew up together and are like brothers!

Saying such things is tantamount to breaking off relations!

The boss's face also darkened.

"Second brother, what nonsense are you spouting?"

The second brother wiped his bloodshot eyes and gritted his teeth as he recounted Zhou Tiancheng's words to Lin Tong.

After he finished speaking, he clenched his fists in anger.

"Throughout the court, no one treats the soldiers of the Northern Frontier as human beings. Only the Crown Prince, fearing for the reputation of our Northern Frontier soldiers, has even sacrificed his own interests, just to give them a chance to shine!"

"And how did we treat him?"

"He repeatedly asked us to stay by his side, despite his noble status. Even after being beaten up by Xiao Shi, he still greeted us with a smile."

"Knowing that you are unwilling to follow him, he has never stopped sending you wine and meat."

"What did this sincerity, this genuine affection, get in return?"

"What right do you have to sit here feasting? You know perfectly well that the Crown Prince is holding a military training competition today, yet you didn't even go to the venue. Are you even human?"

As he spoke, tears silently streamed down his face.

In the northern frontier, the Ten Ghosts of Fengcheng were renowned for their infamous reputation.

After returning to the capital with the Duke, even the Duke was excluded from the circle of power, like a Buddha statue, there for people to see but unable to make any changes, let alone them?

Who wouldn't want to return to the northern frontier and be their hero?

The second child wants to too!

But they can't do it!

Without the protection of the Duke, they didn't even dare to take off their masks.

But now.

The Crown Prince knew they were Hu people, but he recognized their identity as people of the Great Qian Dynasty, not only giving them full dignity but also treating them as heroes.

But they still refused, and even shamelessly ate the wine and meat sent by the Crown Prince, without even glancing at the Crown Prince's military training competition.

The second son felt guilty!

He rubbed his eyes and glanced at his brothers with disappointment.

"The Crown Prince doesn't want to separate us ten brothers. He has already planned that as long as we win the championship, he will find us a fiefdom to fight in and make our mark."

"I have no right to ask him for this."

"But I can tell you right now, regardless of whether he wins the championship or not, or whether he has the ability to give me the opportunity to realize my ambitions, I'm making this clear: even if all I can do in the future is lead His Highness the Crown Prince's horse, I will still follow him!"

The second son turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

Inside the camp.

The remaining people were stunned.

The eldest brother had the chicken leg meat in his mouth, but forgot to chew it.

The other brothers instinctively put down their bowls and chopsticks and turned to look at their eldest brother.

The eldest brother then coughed, his face flushed.

"This second brother is really outrageous. He doesn't even give us a chance to say a word, as if we are some kind of bad guys."

"Since he said that, am I really heartless?"

"Let's go, let's stop eating and hurry to the hunting grounds to see if His Highness the Crown Prince can win the championship."

Everyone immediately stood up, their expressions much more relaxed.

The third brother followed behind the eldest brother and asked with a smile.

"What if His Highness the Crown Prince doesn't win the championship?"

The eldest brother snorted.

"So what if we didn't win? Next time, let's all give it our all and try to win again, okay?"

The third brother laughed out loud with delight.

He understood; the eldest brother had made a decision, and the ten brothers would soon be reunited!

……

The National Protection Army barracks.

Lin Tong looked at the sand table and spoke.

"The strength of cavalry lies in their speed and momentum."

"Their speed allows them to move freely on the battlefield, and they can even fight on the move, harming the enemy without harming themselves."

"And the momentum is even more obvious. Anyone who sees a horse charging head-on will be terrified."

"Therefore, we only need to limit the speed and momentum of the cavalry to reduce their advantage. While we won't easily defeat them, we can at least put up a fight!"

Xinhua nodded slightly.

"I understand what Instructor Lin means. Horse traps, chevaux-de-frise, and chevaux-de-frise spear formations—these are all things used against cavalry to limit their speed and thus reduce their advantage."

"But the terrain here in the hunting grounds isn't complicated, so it might be difficult to contain them."

Zhou Tiancheng was completely confused.

Why bring this up?

Does that mean cavalry has no advantages?

Come up with some concrete ideas!

Xinhua glanced at him and smiled helplessly.

"Your Highness, Instructor Lin wants to teach you to understand these most basic things so that you will know what to do when you encounter similar situations in battle in the future."

Zhou Tiancheng coughed awkwardly.

"I don't like fighting. I'll leave the fighting to professionals like you."

Coach Lin smiled and shook his head.

"Alright, I'll just say it then."

"As the new general said, the terrain is not complicated, making it difficult to limit the cavalry's advantage, but it is not impossible."

"This training competition is not only about fighting on the battlefield, but also about capturing military flags. This means that no matter how powerful the cavalry are, they still have concerns."

"We can enter the game with the military flag. As long as the military flag and cavalry are separated, they will inevitably lose their composure. Even though they know we have various traps to target them, they will still have to charge forward. That is our goal."

At this point, Lin Tong turned to look at Zhou Tiancheng.

"My suggestion is that His Highness the Crown Prince use himself as bait to contact Shi Cheng and others to surround the military flag."

"As long as we separate the cavalry from the banner, even if Shi Cheng and his men don't actively attack, but merely make a show of it, this cavalry will inevitably charge our formation!"

"At that point, even if there are barricades in front of them, or even a mountain of knives, they'll have to force their way through!"

This is the difference between proactive planning and passive defense.

Xinhua nodded repeatedly, then glanced at Lin Tong.

Will they really get involved?

Lin Tong smiled slightly.

Doesn't he know whether the Third Prince will get involved?

Given the Third Prince's temperament, he's wanted to take action against the Crown Prince for a long time now, without wanting to waste even a second!

"They will definitely join in, and I guarantee it with my life!"
