At the foot of the pomegranate ridge, Zhao Yingqi slapped his thigh and shouted: "Praise the champion Hou is the champion Hou, invincible." ”Many South Vietnamese knights watched the whole process of Liang Xiao and others breaking the formation, and were also stunned by the cavalry shooting of Liang Xiao and others, and were even more excited by the cavalry power shown by Liang Xiao and others.Liang Xiao easily defeated four or five hundred Minyue troops with only twenty horsemen, they had more than four hundred horsemen, and there were mountain positions to rely on, and they were afraid that Yu Shanqi would hear Zhao Yingqi's cheers, and the South Vietnamese knights couldn't help but applaud loudly.When Zhao Yingqi heard this, he was even more excited, ran to the drummer, grabbed the drum, and beat the war drum vigorously to cheer for Liang Xiao.The thunderous sound of war drums echoed through the valley like a thunderclap that lasted for a long time.The Minyue soldiers' faces were as pale as dirt, their morale was depressed, and they were eclipsed.The morale of the South Vietnamese generals was like a rainbow, full of fighting spirit, and the roar shook the sky.Under the ridge and under the ridge, there are completely two worlds.Because the psychological pressure brought about by the superior strength of the Minyue army was swept away, the South Vietnamese officers and men were full of confidence and were full of confidence in defeating Minyue and achieving the final victory.The Minyue soldiers were terrified.They were originally killed by Liang Xiao and the others in a panic, and they only cared about fleeing for their lives, almost forgetting that there were still enemies on the Pomegranate Ridge around them.At this moment, I heard the sound of war drums, and then I realized that I was not really safe.The power of the cavalry is too great, one or twenty horsemen can create such a situation, if all the South Vietnamese knights on the ridge are killed, where is there still the possibility of escape, and the Minyue rout began to flee for their lives.Liang Xiao rode a white horse and galloped lightly on the hillside.Everywhere they went, the Minyue soldiers avoided it from a distance, like flowing water bypassing boulders, like wild beasts avoiding bears and tigers, and like birds avoiding eagles.Like bowing your head, like worshipping, fear and admiration coexist.Zhao Yingqi saw this scene on the ridge, envied, and said to the guards around him: "This is what a man should look like." ”The guards nodded in agreement.At this moment, Liang Xiao is also their idol.Although I have heard a lot of stories about Liang Xiao before.knows that Liang Xiao once crisscrossed the Western Regions and attacked the Huns, but those are stories after all, and they are not as real as what they have seen with their own eyes at this moment.What is the three armies of the brave crown, this is.What does it mean to be invincible, this is.It is the wish of every hot-blooded man to learn to ride and shoot with such a warrior and to be able to fight on the battlefield with such a warrior.When Liang Xiao and the others returned to Lingxia, South Vietnamese soldiers flocked to the top, like stars holding the moon.Zhao Yingqi ran over in person and reached out to hold the reins of the white horse.Liang Xiao hurriedly bowed and saluted."
Your Highness.Don't dare to be. ”"Dare to be, dare to be."
Zhao Yingqi said with a smile: "First, your morale in today's battle has been raised, and we can support it for a while longer, you are equivalent to saving my life."
Second, if you are a king, you have to show a little polite and virtuous corporal demeanor, and lead your horse to make a name for yourself. ”"Haha, that's the case.Then you're welcome. ”"What is the relationship between you and me, why be polite."
Zhao Yingqi waved his hand."
Sit yourself.I'll lead you the horse. ”As he spoke, he led the white horse and went all the way.Although the white horse is a divine horse, the climbing is not as good as the Yunnan horse, and Zhao Yingqi walked up in a zigzag shape and folded several times.Meander up the mountain.Seeing this, the South Vietnamese soldiers admired Liang Xiao so much that they threw themselves to the ground.Zhao Yingqi is their crown prince and the future king of Nanyue.It was a great honor for the South Vietnamese soldiers to lead the horses.It was a scene that they couldn't have dreamed of, and all of this was now fulfilled in Liang Xiao.This was earned by Liang Xiao with his outstanding military exploits.If you want to enjoy such glory, you must train hard, kill the enemy bravely, break the army and kill the generals like Liang Xiao, and destroy the withering and decaying.In the air, there is a mood full of hormones.Yu Shan returned to the camp and sat in the big tent.A middle-aged witch doctor shook a brass bell, circled the fire, sang and danced, and chanted words.After the witch doctor finished reading the prayer, he picked up a handful of ashes and pressed it on Yu Shan's face.The bleeding stopped, and the numb wound gradually regained sensation.Yu Shan's cheeks twitched twice and he inhaled softly.This breath has been cold to the bottom of my heart.The witch doctor was startled, and quickly fell to the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.Yu Shan waved his hand and motioned for the witch doctor to go out.He took a bronze mirror and wanted to see what he looked like, but with the bronze mirror in his hand, he hesitated.He knew he must be embarrassed right now.There is an extra wound on the face, blood and ash, where can there be the usual demeanor.In fact, from the moment he fell off the horse, the image he had painstakingly built was ruined.The good horse purchased by 500 gold was snatched away by Liang Xiao, and he stood on the hillside like a lost dog, surrounded by hundreds of warriors, but he did not dare to launch an attack on Liang Xiao, showing his cowardice.Five hundred people, beaten by Liang Xiao's twenty cavalry, collapsed, whether I am too incompetent, or Liang Xiao is good at fighting, the power of the cavalry is too strong Yu Shan put down the bronze mirror and gently covered the wound on his face.At the thought of the cavalry, his face twitched involuntarily.It was the first time in his life that he had seen cavalry combat with his own eyes, but it was not the first time he had heard of it.Except for the one outside Huiji City, he listened to Liu Ju, Jing Zhao and other Wu people talk about the old things of the year many times.There are two things that Liu Ju often laments in front of him: one is that he did not listen to Huan Yuan's strategy, and the other is that Wu has no real cavalry.didn't listen to Huan Yuan's strategy, which led to Wu Jun not being able to cross Chenggao until his death; There was no real cavalry, the Wu army was passively beaten, repeatedly wounded, and finally chased into a corner, and the first king Liu Wei was defeated.In Yu Shan's heart, he has long been yearning for the combat effectiveness of cavalry, which is why he spared no expense to buy horses from the Central Plains and bought two horses from the Western Regions at a sky-high price.Having a cavalry, even if it was only fifty guards, was his dream all along.Liang Xiao struck casually, took away his thousand-mile horse, and destroyed his personal guard horse, but his desire to have a cavalry did not die, but became more enthusiastic.Liang Xiao's victory is the best embodiment of the cavalry's combat effectiveness.Liang Xiao can defeat my 500 people with only 20 horses, if I have more than 1,000 horses, who else can be my opponent in Minyue Yu Shan's mood is very complicated, and he can't tell whether it is joy or frustration.Footsteps sounded, and Jing Ping walked in.Bow down.Yu Shan retracted his thoughts, forced the uneasiness in his heart, and asked, "How is your father's injury" Jing Ping sighed."
My life is safe, but I'm afraid I won't be able to get up in the short term.Prime Minister, I want to send him back to recuperate. ”Yu Shan wanted to speak and stopped, his face was embarrassed.Although Jing Zhao is not a famous general.But he was a man he trusted.Liu Ju descended to Han and became the Marquis of Lou, and Jing Zhao did not leave Minyue like other Wu people, but took refuge in him, giving him an additional right-hand man.He is very important to Jing Zhao, and Jing Zhao is also loyal to him.If it weren't for Jing Zhao today, he would probably have died under Liang Xiao's arrow, but Jing Zhao was seriously injured for this.If Jing Zhao leaves, what will happen to the war here He is the minister of state, but he has no experience in personally commanding the battle.Especially the battle of tens of thousands of people.This is not a war of hundreds, but thousands, and it can be commanded by one person.There are too many things involved in tens of thousands of people, and unless you have considerable experience, it is difficult to schedule properly.Yu Shan thought for a while before he said ambiguously: "What about your father's opinion" Jing Ping lowered his head, thought about it, and said: "Prime Minister."
We roughly estimated that if Liang Xiao really only had four or five hundred people.The grain and grass he carries these days is enough for him to use for more than half a year.Besieging Pomegranate Ridge for half a year is definitely not the best policy. ”Yu Shan frowned, but did not speak.Jing Ping's face was a little hot.The reason why Liang Xiao can have so much baggage is because he is too timid, so that Liang Xiao puts all his manpower and material resources into the baggage transfer.If he had been bold at the time, he would have gone out of the camp to harass him.It won't make Liang Xiao so easy."
If the prime minister doesn't want to stop there, there's another way.""
What way" "Storm." ”Jing Ping took a breath and slowly spit it out."
Storm the mountains at any cost.Although the cavalry had a strong impact force, it did not play much role in positional warfare.Our army has a clear advantage in strength.If you force your attack, maybe there's a chance of survival.However, casualties are likely to be larger. ”Yu Shan closed his mouth again.He understood what Jing Zhao meant.Siege is not good, Liang Xiao has enough baggage and is not afraid of dragging.But he can't, the baggage of 30,000 troops is a heavy burden, and he can't be here all the time, there may be war on the western and northern fronts at any time, and the support of this main force is needed.There were only two paths in front of him: either he would take the initiative to retreat and surrender Zhangpu to South Vietnam; Either attack at any cost, strive to take Pomegranate Ridge in a short time, seize Liang Xiao and Zhao Yingqi, and seize the initiative.It is said that there are two roads, but in fact there is only one road.If he takes the initiative to withdraw, it is estimated that he, the prime minister, will be done.The war he launched did not gain an inch of land, but lost Zhangpu, allowing the forces of South Vietnam to invade the territory of Minyue, and was also surrounded by the three-way army.How he faced those opposing voices and how to face the reproach of King Minyue felt a headache when he thought about it."
How many people does your father estimate to lose" Jing Ping looked at Yu Shan, hesitantly stretched out a hand and shook it in front of Yu Shan.Yu Shan's face hurt, twitching the muscles in the corners of his eyes, and he couldn't see it very clearly.He glanced at Jingping."
How many 5,000" "If it goes well, 5,000, if it doesn't go well, you may have to add another 5,000." ”Yu Shan gasped, and then his cheeks ached.He hurriedly covered his face and gritted his teeth tightly so as not to curse himself.Just for Liang Xiao and Zhao Yingqi, it may be necessary to lose 10,000 people, which is too great.More than 30 percent of the losses are like defeats, and the slightest carelessness may lead to the collapse of the whole army."
I'll think again.""
Whoa."
Jing Ping gave a deep salute and retreated.Yu Shan covered his face, but instead of a pain in his face, he felt a toothache and a distress.The loss of 10,000 people was too great for him to accept for a while.However, he has a lot of trust in Jing Zhao's vision.Jing Zhao is cautious, this estimate should not be too outrageous.Even if it doesn't take 10,000 people, 5,000 people are inevitable.Jing Zhao gave his advice, now it's up to him how he chooses.On the pomegranate ridge, there was jubilation, Zhao Yingqi and other South Vietnamese soldiers surrounded Liang Xiao and others, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was relaxed.The white horse named the crescent moon by Liang Xiao has also become a star in the limelight.The South Vietnamese soldiers were accustomed to seeing short Dian horses, and they had never seen such tall and divine horses.When Yu Shan appeared on the crescent moon, they felt that this horse was different, and now that the horse was in front of them, they could appreciate it up close, and they felt that this horse was extraordinary, and his every move was full of noble temperament, and the fur on his body was as smooth as silk, which made people love it.Many knights came over, hoping to touch this divine horse from the Western Regions with their own hands, with longing and envy in their eyes.Zhao Yingqi and Liang Xiao knew each other well, and knew that Liang Xiao's concubine was called the moon, and there was once a white horse that was killed in battle when Liang Xiao went to the Western Regions.Liang Xiao named the horse Xinyue, which was naturally reserved for Concubine Huyue.Although he wanted it, he was too embarrassed to ask for it.I can't ask for it, I can only take advantage of the fact that this horse is still Liang Xiao's, and be closer and closer.The night was low, Liang Xiao and Zhao Yingqi and others stood on the mountain beam, as far as the eye could see, the camps of the Minyue army were all over the valley, and the bonfires were like stars.Zhao Yingqi was in a relaxed mood and smiling."
Junhou, this battle should break Yu Shan's guts, Jing Zhao seems to be injured, I don't know if he will die" "It is indeed necessary to guard against it. ”Liang Xiao put his hands behind his back, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Jing Zhao is cautious, but he has a lot of experience, if he is in charge of military affairs, there will not be too many accidents in this battle."
If he dies, with Jingping's qualifications, I'm afraid it won't be enough to balance Yu Shan, what kind of tricks Yu Shan will make, we can't imagine, we can only plan for the worst. ”"Plan for the worst" Zhao Yingqi was a little surprised."
What else can I plan" Liang Xiao smacked his lips, looked around, and then quietly took two steps forward.Zhao Yingqi understood and followed.Liang Xiao said softly: "Don't forget, Yu Shan has 30,000 people, even if it is a casualty ratio of ten to one, he can afford it."
Unlike us, none of these knights have gone through real bloody battles, and if the casualties exceed 20%, the morale will inevitably suffer.With more than half of the casualties, our forces will not be enough to hold the mountain, and we will likely be defeated.Therefore, if Yu Shan is ruthless and wants to exchange two or three thousand people for your and my heads, this matter will be a bit troublesome. ”Zhao Yingqi blinked, speechless for a while.He thought for a long time, and then asked, "Then what should I do" He paused, and then said: "I think, the prince will definitely do it." ”Liang Xiao laughed silently.Zhao Yingqi is really a chick, whether she is happy or worried, she can't hide it, and her mood swings are too great."
Your Highness, the three armies can win the commandery, but the horseman cannot win the ambition.If you want to defend the mountain range and defeat Yu Shan, your will is the real key, whether to become a famous general who wins more with less, or a coward who retreats from the battle, laughing for Lu Xiang, it all depends on your choice.
