Chapter 2: Ballistic Eye Movement

  I don't know how many times I've revised it, but it's actually been restored to the original unedited chapter content, I'm in tears.

  On the way back to the big camp, there were bodies of Goguryeo warriors everywhere, and many war horses that had lost their owners were circling around them, occasionally using their heads to nuzzle the riders who would never ride on their backs again.

  The last bit of light in the evening finally faded away, and the lightning in the sky was still flashing non-stop. However, except for a few strands of fine rain drifting with the wind from time to time, there wasn't any heavy rain as expected.

  Chen Kefu rode the Qianli Xue, which he had snatched from Da Hu Zi Mao Yi's hands, with a somewhat distracted expression, swaying to the rhythm of the horse's hooves, completely linking him to the white-robed young general who had charged into the midst of the enemy army, spear in hand, fearless and unstoppable.

  At this time, Chen Kefu's heart was going through a battle between heaven and man. He only remembered that after a flash of lightning and thunder, he came here. Moreover, at that time, he was riding a beautiful and sturdy big white horse, holding a cold weapon that he didn't know whether it was a long spear or a long gun or something else, in an ancient war, galloping back and forth. At that time, he thought it was a dream, in this dream, he wore a white robe and rode a white horse, with great strength, riding a warhorse, holding a weapon in the battlefield, and no one could stop him.

  This was more exhilarating than any game he had ever played before. With the stirring sound of the cowhide drums and the wailing sound of the long horns, he was like his former role as a legion commander in the gaming world. He shouted loudly, charged left and right, and took the lead, chasing after the defeated soldiers for dozens of miles, killing all the way to the enemy's city gate.

  When the last man fell under their hooves, Chen Kefu, who had been standing still at the foot of the city wall, finally felt his blood slowly calm down and subside from the excitement caused by the long drumming and killing shouts.

  In the midst of thunder and lightning, he suddenly discovered that there was an additional person's memory in his mind. That person was also named Chen Kefu, and was the master of Chenjiazhuang in Hebei Province's Zhuozhou. It turned out that although this same-named person's body was only 23 years old, he was indeed the master of Chenjiazhuang. This brother, whose body had been occupied by him, had never had parents since childhood. According to Mao Bo, the steward who had always followed and taken care of him, they were originally from the south. As a result, when Chen Kefu was born, the Chen family experienced a robbery by bandits, resulting in the entire family being killed, except for Chen Kefu, who was protected by the former master of the house and escaped with Mao Bo and some servants. Afterwards, they arrived in this relatively peaceful place in Hebei and bought this estate.

  As he sat on his horse returning to the big camp, Chen Kefu also slowly cleared up the current situation through memory. He had traveled through time and ended up in the year 613 AD, which was the ninth year of Emperor Yang of Sui's reign. This place was Liaodong, where two emperors of the Sui Dynasty had successively launched military campaigns against Goguryeo, but nothing had been gained except for leaving behind millions of soldiers and civilians' corpses.

  This made the Emperor extremely angry, and he once again ordered a million-strong army to be mobilized from the garrisons across the country, along with multiple times the number of civilian laborers, to launch an all-out attack on Goguryeo.

  As for his sudden appearance in a white robe and on horseback, it's not without reason. The reason is simple: Chen Kefu, who looks like a standard rich young master from Jiangnan, is actually a born martial artist. Moreover, this guy may have been influenced by the stories of an old servant in the Zhuangzi since he was young, and has since vowed to become a heroic good man. In his impression, heroes are basically associated with greenwood outlaws and generals who fight on the battlefield. So from then on, he changed the way he addressed the young servants who followed him, calling them "erlang" (young masters), while they had to address him as "darenjia" (master).

  However, the Chen family, despite having suffered a disaster, still had considerable wealth. How could they bear to let this only young master of the Chen family go and become an outlaw or join the army? So this guy had a good martial art, but could only practice with the house slaves every day.

  In the previous year, Emperor Yang of Sui led an army of over 1.13 million to conquer Goguryeo, advancing by land and water simultaneously. As a result, after more than a year, the 300,000-strong Sui army that crossed the Liao River was completely annihilated, leaving behind 300,000 young men on the banks of the Liao River. This year, the imperial court issued another recruitment order, requiring all able-bodied soldiers aged 21 and above to join the war effort, especially those from Shandong and Hebei provinces near Liaodong.

  Chen Kefu, who had always dreamed of being a hero, spent a lot of money and secretly obtained the position of Huoyang Fu's partner, bringing with him nine family servants who had followed him since childhood, and secretly joined the army to fight.

  However, after joining the army for several months, they were just following the large army's eastward and westward movements, without any of the imagined passionate scenes. Yesterday, he inadvertently overheard Eagle General Cao Liang of the Eagle General Mansion mention that today, after setting up an ambush to attack the Goguryeo people, he chased after General Cao, dead set on joining today's attacking troops, and at the cost of ten jars of good wine, he finally succeeded in getting the general's consent.

  However, Chen Ke returned to the tent and had an idea. Although the million-strong army had already divided into several routes, there were still tens of thousands of soldiers in the main camp. If he could arrange these tens of thousands of soldiers in a certain way, wouldn't it be a beautiful sight? He thought for half the night and finally came up with a plan. He took out a set of bright silver armor from his luggage, which he had bought for hundreds of gold coins before departing. He also found a white silk cloak. Thinking that this was not enough, he borrowed a snow-white horse named Qianli Xue from his subordinate, Mao Yi.

  His ghostly idea apparently succeeded, today's battlefield is basically all iron-colored armor on the side of the Sui Dynasty, occasionally some copper armor, which is also inconspicuous. The Goguryeo people, in order to launch a surprise attack more stealthily, are all dressed in black, with black horses and black armor.

  With the thunder and lightning, Chen Kefu wore a white robe and rode a white horse, with his extraordinary martial arts skills, he charged forward fiercely, and his momentum was indeed the best MVP on the battlefield today. Even Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, who was watching from a high slope, was also attracted by his small strategy.

  Chen Kefu looked at the corpses of soldiers all over the ground, and his heart was also filled with fear. Fortunately, when he first crossed over, he thought it was just a game in his dream, so he didn't think too much about it, but instead followed his instincts and indulged in the thrill. If he had been on the battlefield at that time, he would have become the most unlucky crosser in the world.

  How did he cross over? Chen Kefu still couldn't figure it out. He was a fine young man from the 21st century, yet somehow he ended up on a battlefield over a thousand years ago.
