Xian Dynasty Era

Chapter 534 Deadweight Loss
In the flower hall——

Just when all the monarchs and ministers were discussing about sending troops from the frontier counties of the Jin Kingdom to help, suddenly, outside the flower hall, a general rushed over with a look of expression, entered the flower hall, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Pan has mobilized tens of thousands of troops. Thirty miles away, and soon to the town of Heyin."

Su Zhaoning frowned, and said to Feng Kuang who was beside him, "Feng Qing, follow me to the city wall to have a look."

Feng Kuang answered the order and said, "I would like to obey your order."

All of a sudden, the high-ranking generals of the Su Kingdom in the flower hall followed Su Zhao to the top of the city wall of Heyin Town, looking at the might of the Wei Pan army.

At this moment, it was afternoon, and the warm spring sun was hanging in the sky. Because it was early spring, as far as the eyes could see, some tender green colors could be vaguely seen on the vast fields.

Su Zhao and a group of generals waited for a while, and saw that the vanguard army of Wei Pan, which was originally just a black line, gradually became black, and gathered towards Heyin Town like a dark cloud.

"Wei Pan's rebel army, not to mention their combat strength, this army is overwhelming." Su Zhao said inexplicably, channeling mana into his eyes.

Feng Kuang mused, "According to what Privy Councilor Shentu said, most of Wei Pan's rebels are newly recruited, and their soldiers are few and far between. Their combat power cannot compete with our army."

Su Zhao's expression changed, and he said, "Feng Qing, do we have cavalry here?"

Feng Kuang was stunned, and said: "Because I came on the fairy boat, there are not many cavalry, only three thousand."

This is not surprising, the Su State brought an army of [-] in fairy boats with the intention of garrisoning Heyin and resisting the city. Therefore, most of the armaments and supplies brought bows and crossbows to defend the city, but few horses. .

Of course, in the past few days, the fairy boat has been transferring food, fodder and defense weapons. In other words, the transportation capacity of the fairy boat is not a one-off.

Su Zhao said: "Three thousand soldiers are enough. Choose brave and resolute men, and rush to the front of the Weipan rebel army with Gu Chong."

Feng Kuang heard the words and said, "I would like to obey your orders."

If he presided over here, he would not venture out of the pass city to fight against the Wei Pan army, but Suhou, it is another matter.

Since I have the idea of ​​rushing to the battle, I think I have a perfect plan.

This is also Su Zhao's authority over military matters established by his victories one after another.

Immediately the emperor, keep his word.

Not long after, the city of Heyin Pass was full of smoke and dust, people roared and horses neighed, and three thousand cavalrymen of the Soviet army had gathered. On the black armor, the long swords were as cold as water, and a chilling atmosphere dispersed silently.

At this time, Su Zhao also came out with his sword, and got on his horse. With the sound of "squeak" from the gate, the gate opened wide.

Just at this time, the army of more than ten thousand vanguards of the Wei State had reached five miles away from Heyin Town. The leader of the army was a middle-aged general who was over thirty years old and had a short beard under his jaw. The name is Song Chang.

Song Chang rode on a black horse, looked up at Heyin City in the distance, with a solemn expression.

Even though the Soviet army in front had only [-] soldiers, the thought that the leader of the army was Su Hou, who was famous in Heluo, cast a haze on his heart.

"Fortunately, our army has sharp weapons from the immortal master." Song Chang looked at the ten-thousand-blade chariots covered with curtains that the soldiers were playing with behind.

At this time, a rider in front rode his horse and whipped his whip, and said eagerly, "General Song, the Soviet cavalry has left the customs."

Song Chang's expression froze, and he said to the young man in armor, "Sure enough, as Mr. Ying said, the generals are ready to train to meet the enemy!"

The general order was issued immediately, and more than ten thousand guards pushed out their carts, stringed their bows and crossbows, and guarded according to their carts, waiting in full force.

Ying Ziyi exchanged glances with his teacher at the side, the leader of Tian Xing.

At this moment, Ying Ziyi and the leader of Tianxing hid in the air-tight group of the army, which was inconspicuous at all.

"Zi Yi, you were right." The leader of Tian Xing looked at his apprentice with a little surprise, and there was a bit of inexplicable meaning in his voice.

This apprentice of my own family really knew the shame and was brave, and this time he grasped the key point.

Ying Ziyi's face was as calm as Xuanshui, and in the depths of his dark eyes, flames were faintly beating, and he said in a cold voice: "Suhou always likes to take the initiative to attack, even if he uses an isolated city to attract Wei Pan's army to besiege him, he will not blindly accept the isolated city and be passive." After being beaten, the guards have just arrived, and according to Suhou's temperament, he must have taken advantage of the guards' unstable foothold to attack with cavalry."

The leader of Tianxing said: "The Soviet army is here."

At this time, with the sound of violent horseshoes, the movement caused by three thousand cavalry was deafening, and the Soviet cavalry had already attacked in a large scale.

Ying Ziyi said: "The Wanren Chariot, if you do your calculations with your mind or your mind, the Soviet army will never be able to resist it."

Sure enough, it seemed to confirm Ying Ziyi's words, Song Chang's guards formed a chariot formation with ten thousand blade chariots, all bows and crossbows were fired, whizzing...

In addition, the Wanblad Chariot raised its cold blade with the wind, and attacked the Soviet army that was on the attack.

All of a sudden, arrows rained down, accompanied by screams, the blood mist dispersed, and people turned on their backs. Immediately, three thousand cavalry vanguard cavalry were shot to the ground.

Su Zhao's heart also trembled at this moment, the sword light was stimulated, and thousands of rustling lights evolved, resisting the incoming arrows and sword lights.

The striker made a bend to the side and rushed to the side.

Accompanied by the sound of arrows "嗖嗖...", more than a hundred riders shot off their horses immediately.

Su Zhao's complexion changed slightly, and his eyes gradually became serious.

"Just now a charge, lost more than [-] riders..."

It can be said that since he used the army, he has experienced many battles, big and small, and he has never suffered such a loss.

I have to say, a little careless.

The elite of the Soviet army lost three hundred soldiers. You must know that the Soviet army’s generals were all trained with martial arts and elixir. The skin of the rebels was knocked off.

Gein, most of the arrows shot by the riders were blocked by the pushed up Wanblad Chariots one after another.

"If you want to drive this Wanblade Chariot, people from the Immortal Sect must assist you, but the Hehuan Sect behind Wei Pan doesn't seem to have such a background? Moreover, there are no large numbers of immortal masters in the army?" Su Zhao frowned. Wrinkled, thinking hard for a moment.

However, now is not the time to think about these things. At this moment, the Soviet army is one or two miles away, patrolling on cavalry, watching coldly.

At this moment, Ying Ziyi, who was hidden in Song Chang's army, saw Su Zhao's frustration, and his eyes showed a touch of pleasure. This Wanblade Chariot is an improved version, obtained from the map of Gushu, and it can be driven by ordinary soldiers as long as the spirit stone is buckled in advance. , so deliberate and unintentional, how can Su Hou detect it?

"Suhou, you have today too! This is just the beginning!"

Ying Ziyi sneered inwardly.

When he thought of his fiancée Yue Xin being snatched away by that young man, he felt like a snake ant biting his heart, he couldn't bear to live.

As the ancients said, the hatred of killing one's father and the hatred of taking one's wife are irreconcilable!
The leader of Tianxing glanced at his apprentice, and felt relieved.

I was worried that my apprentice would never recover because of a woman, but I didn't expect...

"Okay, it's not in vain that I will tie the fate of enlightenment to you."

On this side, Su Zhao led the cavalry to patrol and cruise around, drawing bows and shooting from time to time, but undoubtedly the guards at this moment were like a hedgehog, not knowing where to start.

"Su Zhao, there is a difference among the guards, there is nothing to do, let's go back."

Just when Su Zhao was hesitating to advance or retreat, Li Luyu's divine sense sound transmission sounded from the Lingtai, his heart moved, and he led the troops back without delay.

Returning to Heyin Town again, Su Zhao's face was silent, and he met the concerned eyes of all the generals.

"Your Majesty..." Feng Kuang stepped forward and asked.

Just now, he stood on the top of the city, and he has seen the offensive and defensive battle between the two sides.

Su Zhao said in a deep voice: "It's because I underestimated the guards. I didn't check the enemy's situation in advance, resulting in unnecessary losses!"

Needless to say, it was due to his underestimation of the enemy.

The marching Sima at the side just came over and said: "Your Majesty, our army lost 310 and three cavalry..."

Su Zhao sighed.

Feng Kuangdao: "Your Majesty, winning or losing is a common matter in military affairs, so you don't have to worry about it."

Su Zhao waved his hand and said: "Since leading the army, Gu has won many victories. Because of this, he is not only full of ambition, although there are more than [-] riders, but it also reminds Gu that if he doesn't pay attention, he will be defeated. It may not be a big defeat in the future."

Although Feng Kuang thought Su Hou was too harsh on him, seeing this, he could say something.
