This warrior is so fierce

Chapter 714
Emperor Yan ascended the throne and changed it to the first year of Tianbao.

The name of the country is "Dayan", and there were thirteen prefectures in the Qianyuan period. Today, only Ruzhou, Tongzhou, Pingzhou and Lizhounan four prefectures are left.

And Yuzhou and Lingzhou, which are a little bit north, are very close to Luoshui and not far from Shenzhou. They were the buffer zone between the imperial court and the princes.

After pacifying Jianzhou, that is, Jiannan Road, the Yanting Plate area expanded to a new height.

The southernmost part of Jianzhou is almost bordered by Lizhou. The internal troubles in Xizhou have been calmed down. Countless Qiang people have been relocated to live in the Beiliang grassland, and they will send a steady stream of new war horses to Shendu. The five states in the north are stable. big camp.

After ascending the throne, Cao Su regarded the extermination of many southern princes as a top priority to study.

A few days later, Cao Su offered sacrifices to the heavens in the capital of the gods, and the time entered the beginning of spring in the first year of Tianbao.

All over the country were busy planting seeds in spring, so Cao Su focused on Jizhou and Guangzhou, and planned to send troops southward from these two states.

The alliance of southern princes raised an army of 30 troops and deployed heavy troops in Yuzhou, Jiangzhou, and Qingluo River.

Suspicious clouds of war hung over the southern sky, and the feeling that the storm was about to come filled the southern land.

In April, Cao Su's east and west armies went south. Among them, the east route army led by Jiang Qi, Wang Meng, and Wang Qing, and Zhongjin as the military division, bypassed Lingzhou and went straight to the eastern area of ​​Yuzhou and Jiangzhou area.

The North Route Army was dominated by young generals such as Su Chao, Ma Chao, Shi Yong, Luo Yushu, Gong Wu, Miao Hongji, etc., with a rate of [-] cavalry, starting from Jizhou, and went straight to Ruzhou, Pingzhou and other places.
-
In the northern part of Ruzhou, the Great Wilderness City.

Dahuangcheng is an important traffic artery in the north of Ruzhou, and it has been the site of the Four World Wars since ancient times.

The distance between Ruzhou and Shenzhou is not far in a straight line, but there is still a distance of nearly a thousand miles between Shendu and Dahuangcheng.

When Yan Ting was newly established, Cao Su sent an army of 30 troops to the south, including 20 troops from the East Road, from Guangzhou to the south, and [-] troops from the West Route, from Jizhou to the south. Both armies entered the territory of Yuzhou and bypassed Lingzhou with rugged mountain roads.

Lingzhou is mostly sects. Although they don't accept discipline, the corresponding situation is more complicated. The East Route Army only besieged but not attacked. After securing the important town, they went straight to Jiangzhou.

The West Route Army is the first priority to control Yuzhou.

Yuzhou was originally under the radiation of the imperial court. There were many sects and cities with their hearts towards the imperial court. The West Route Army went south, and they hardly received any decent resistance. At that time, they looked forward to the wind and surrendered, and they were all captured by the West Route Army.

After that, there are many princes in the southern country.

For example, 20 princes' coalition forces were hoarded in the Great Wilderness City as the most important fulcrum to resist the Yan Ting's army.

Dahuang City is located in an excellent place surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is the throat of the north-south traffic. The 20 allied forces of the princes are not only defending Dahuang City, but also the north ferry, and the auxiliary cities on the east and west sides. defensive posture.

In the fifth month, flags were erected to block out the sun in Dahuang City, and soldiers in armor practiced every day.

A few days later, news came from Jianghu sect that there was another movement of Yan Ting's army at Shenguan in the north.

As soon as this news came, the atmosphere in the entire Great Deserted City suddenly became tense. The price of food and meat in the city soared.

May [-]th, Great Deserted City.

At the gate tower at the pass, a young general in golden armor looked to the north with a solemn expression.

Not long after, a middle-aged general with a strong physique came hurriedly from the tower, with a full beard and a dignified expression: "Xinfeng, Zuo Zongzhu said that he fought against Yan Ting's spies in the dense forest of Zhengshan Mountain in the north. The spies learned that there are another [-] troops heading south from the Shenguan, and this army may be another army besides the East Road and West Road."

Chu Xinfeng is the number one defender of the Great Wilderness City. He was originally a general of the Qianyuan Dynasty, a descendant of Dazong. He was later defeated by Cao Su and went south to become a prince.

Yan Ting is too strong. Yan Ting, who took down Jiannan Road, has revealed his profound background at this moment.

"There is no restraint in the rear, and the armored men that Yan Ting can call directly may exceed one million."

Chu Xinfeng is from the capital of God, he knows the background of the capital of God, once the place is restored to stability, the land of only one city is worth the land of a state, not to mention that Cao Su has pacified the north long ago, Even though Xizhou and Jiannan Road cannot provide assistance to Cao Su for the time being, the two places have solved the problem of Yan Ting's depth. Yan Ting now guards the main road of Jiannan, forcing the southern princes to fight the court in Qingluo River, Ruzhou and other places.

"It's terrible. This is just the beginning of the mobilization. If it goes to the end, Yan Ting's troops will only increase."

Chu Xinfeng was worried. He didn't know that this was the snowball principle. With Cao Su's rear stable, the number of troops Cao Su could mobilize was beyond the imagination of the southern princes.

Although the southern princes are determined to form an alliance, how much trust can there be between the alliances?

"I'm confident that the army coming from Shenguan can block them to the north of the Great Wilderness City, but what about the other two? I, Chu, is only one person after all, and I don't have the ability to clone myself."

Chu Xinfeng overlooked the north, and the bearded man said in a deep voice, "I heard that there have been a lot of strange noises in the city recently, and it seems to be against Yan Ting."

When the bearded general mentioned this matter, a cold light flashed in Chu Xinfeng's eyes: "You don't need to worry about this matter, I have already left it to Kamikaze to handle it, and the enemy is in front of us, and we can't tolerate the slightest bit of self-defeating."

The bearded general nodded, so he felt relieved.
-
To the north of Dahuang City, at the foot of Zhengshan Mountain, stretches for more than ten miles, and a large army is stationed.

The white tents are like little flowers, adorning the somewhat barren mountains.

Zongma Nanshan, where the army of Yan Ting is stationed, a five-clawed golden dragon flag is held high, and the "Yan" flag is waving in the wind.

Zhengshan is a famous mountain in the world. Although the mountain is barren, it towers into the sky.

At this moment, on the top of the mountain, there are thousands of Yulin troops stationed, with countless golden covers and golden armor, and civil servants and military officers are lined up on both sides.

Emperor Yan Cao Su was wearing a golden dragon robe, sitting under a towering tree at the top of Zhengshan Mountain.

"Your Majesty, a message from General Su Chao."

Weng Xiao offered the letter with both hands, and the palm-printed eunuch Xun Zhi took the letter and handed it to Cao Su.

Cao Su opened the letter and saw that the youth army led by Su Chao was marching extremely fast, and now it has reached the boundary of Lushan Mountain.

Nearly ten years have passed by now.

Ten years passed quickly, and Lushan will usher in a new battle.

"The Su Dynasty marched too fast, and now we are about to reach Lushan, but once Lushan passes, the road to the south will be difficult." Cao Su put away the letter, and had no doubts about Su Chao's ability to lead troops in combat, but on the surface he still had no doubts. Show some concern.

Weng Xiao and others didn't know the relationship between Su Chao and Cao Su, and really thought that Su Chao was Cao Su's junior.

Weng Xiao said in a deep voice: "General Su Chao's 20 tiger and cardinal troops have stepped through Lushan Mountain, and the next step is to step into the eastern area of ​​Ruzhou. There are already [-] coalition troops stationed in Dahuang City. Ruzhou can match Su There are not many troops in the court."

With a powerful intelligence system, Weng Xiao has a clear picture of the situation of the coalition forces of the southern princes.

The [-] army of the Soviet Dynasty seems to be the least powerful among these routes, but it is the route with the strongest attack power. If the southern princes think that these young generals are easy to deal with, they will pay a huge price for their contempt.

Cao Su said in a deep voice: "Send an order to Su Chao, ordering him to continue obliquely to the south, until he penetrates deep into Pingzhou."
-
East of Ruzhou, at the border with Jiangzhou.

The enemy army of the southern princes set up in Lushan was only [-]. Three days ago, the Soviet army led the army to defeat it, beheading thousands of heads and capturing more than [-] troops.

The Su Dynasty sent a small number of soldiers to Yuzhou in the north for these captives, and the rest of the soldiers continued south. In less than three days, they came to the east of Ruzhou, crossed the Qingluo River, and wanted to enter Ruzhou to fight.

Backed by a big river, the roads are difficult to walk, and there are not many places in Ruzhou that are suitable for cavalry raids.

As soon as the army entered Ruzhou, it was immediately discovered by the soldiers and horses of the princes who had deployed defenses to the east of Ruzhou.

In the east of Ruzhou, there is a small city of Yuzhou, where Ding Xing's general Lai Kailiang is in command.

Lai Kailiang was originally a descendant of the Pingzhou clan, and later went to Pingzhou Crane Pavilion to practice martial arts. After Ding Xing swept the southern kingdom, Lai Kailiang defected to Ding Xing and became one of the generals under Ding Xing. After a few years, he gradually became the number one under Ding Xing. A war general, commanding more than [-] soldiers and horses of Ding Xing.

Ding Xing became a vassal, and Lai Kailiang was also powerful in the southern kingdom.

This time the princes joined forces to fight, and Lai Kailiang led Ding Xing and Yuanzong's troops along the way to face the army of the Soviet Dynasty galloping from Lushan at the junction of Ruzhou and Jiangzhou.

The army of the Soviet Dynasty is considered the weakest road in these few roads.

First of all, Su Chao's record is not glorious. Until now, he has only defeated Tao Mingwen.

Although Tao Mingwen has dominated Xizhou for many years, Tao Mingwen has never been to the southern country for activities after all. How can the many princes of the southern country know how powerful this "General Soaring to the Sky" is, so the achievements of the Su Dynasty are in their eyes. worth mentioning.

In addition, according to the early intelligence rumors, the soldiers and horses along the route of the Su Dynasty are also the fewest, and most of them are cavalry.

If the cavalry is in the north, it is naturally a super killer that is invincible. Once they pass Yuzhou, the southern states are densely covered with water networks and rugged roads. The terrain is not suitable for large-scale cavalry charges. There is a little plain for cavalry to attack.

That's why Cao Su laid out on this road.

Therefore, Lai Kailiang, the general of the Southern Kingdom, also understood this point. He guarded Yuzhou, Cangwu and other cities with heavy troops, relying on the great rivers and lakes, to resist the impact of the Soviet cavalry.

In the north of Yuzhou City, on a flat ground, the youth army led by Su Chao arrived.

The cavalry squatted there quietly, and the whole army was silent.

Not long after, the spies came to report——

"Su Shuai, Yuzhou City is heavily guarded, and Lai Kailiang leads [-] troops to guard it."

[-] elite soldiers guard a small city. Although it is only a small city, it has been reinforced and repaired for many days. Most of Su Chao’s men are cavalry, and it is not easy to attack the city. I don’t know how much it will cost and how long it will take to garrison a small city with [-] elite soldiers. Time can take it.

"These dozen or so princes are crazy, and all the troops at the bottom of the box have been brought out. There may be more than 50 soldiers and horses deployed along the Qingluo River." Beside Su Chao, Ma Chao was amazed.

Although Ma Chao used to be a young general, but now he has become a general of Huben Zhonglang, and can be regarded as the number one general under Su Chao's command.

The main reason why Yan Ting was able to mobilize nearly 40 soldiers and horses was because Yan Ting took down Jiannan Road and harvested the food hoarded by Jiannan Road, so that he could support a war to calm the world, but The feudal lords of the Southern Kingdom have been fighting for many years, even if the harvest of grain in the Southern Kingdom is better, how can they withstand such consumption?
"Yuzhou is not easy to fight. I heard that Lai Kailiang is a rigorous person." Beside Su Chao, military advisor Wu Ming said calmly.

Wu Ming is an old man who has followed Cao Su for many years. In recent years, he has become more and more stable, and he has also demonstrated his accumulated strength as a counselor, becoming the mainstay of Cao's army.

Although Su Chao is the coach of this road, on the bright side, he must follow Wu Ming's advice.

Ma Chao said bluntly: "It's better to leave Yuzhou City alone, bypass Yuzhou City and go straight to Ruzhou Mansion. If you take Ruzhou Mansion, Ruzhou will be leveled."

Ma Chao and Cao Su have been staying for a long time, and now their thinking is always a bit unconstrained.

But Wu Ming immediately retorted: "No, Yuzhou City has a special geographical location and is the gateway to the east of Ruzhou. If we ignore this Yuzhou City, it will be difficult for our army to supply food and grass. I am afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable in the future."

Su Chao shook his head: "Lai Kailiang is also a first-class martial artist. 20 elite soldiers are stationed in Yuzhou City. If there is a strong attack, there may be no one with [-] soldiers and horses."

Ma Chao frowned: "Your Majesty wants us to attack Ruzhou quickly. Most of our troops are cavalry. If we can't disrupt the situation in Ruzhou with the power of cavalry, I'm afraid the two armies from east and west will not be able to achieve any results."

"Our army was supposed to be the West Road, but now, the Holy Lord personally marched, and the West Road became the soldiers and horses of the God Capital. I heard that the army of the West Road is about to arrive at the Great Wilderness City. There are 20 soldiers and horses stationed in the Great Wilderness City. The line of defense is said to be impenetrable, and I don’t know how to break the situation.” Wu Ming sighed, the southern princes were under heavy pressure, and now they are uniting one after another. Although the troops are mixed, at least the momentum is very large and they are not under the court.

Su Chao thought to himself that the harsh winter in the north was coming, and they were about to perish, so they had to hug each other to keep warm.

After thinking for a while, he came up with an idea: "Why don't I lead the troops to attack Yuzhou City, and the rest of the troops enter Ruzhou to fight. Ruzhou has many water towns, which is not conducive to the impact of large cavalry. Dividing troops to fight is to give full play to the mobility of our army." the best way."

His Majesty assembled one hundred thousand soldiers and horses to go south from Jizhou and captured Yuzhou along the way. As a result, the Soviet Dynasty is now preparing to divide its troops and fight.

Ma Chao, Luo Yushu and other young generals looked at each other, but there was a hint of excitement in their eyes.

The young general still prefers to lead the army by himself, being restrained by the Su Dynasty. Although he has been winning battles, he always feels that his brilliance seems to be suppressed, if he can fight freely.

Wu Ming persuaded: "Su Shuai, the generals are still very young, I'm afraid."

These young generals were not happy about what they said, so Ma Chao first muttered: "Military commander, I'm afraid this is wrong? What happened to us when we were young? Shouldn't the world today be dominated by young people?"

Young generals are the most uncomfortable to be stimulated. Ma Chao's words touched the hearts of everyone, and they all responded.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Su Chao followed Ma Chao's words and said, "It's naturally the best, but you also have to bear in mind your Majesty's words, don't burn, kill and plunder. We are here to calm the world, not to take back a piece of wasteland."

"If you divide your troops to go to Ruzhou, don't just focus on Ruzhou. Tongzhou, Pingzhou and even Lizhou to the south are your battlefields."

"Now the southern princes have put all the troops at the bottom of the box along the Qingluo River. If you are fast enough, there will be an empty rear waiting for you to poke your ass."

Hearing this, Ma Chao and the others burst out laughing, and clasped their fists to accept orders.
