Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 90 The Enemy of Yihe

The striker retreated and retreated [-] meters after leaving behind a field of corpses.

This distance has already exceeded the effective killing range of the longbow. Li Shengtian looked at the hundreds of corpses under the city wall of Tianmenguan, and his heart was bleeding.

Although compared with his 45 army, a few hundred people is just a negligible number, but those who can be the first to ascend the army can be called elites.

It can be said that this is a group of the most courageous and desperate people. Now that so many people have died, it is undoubtedly a big loss.

Li Shengtian didn't know whether Fu Chengyang's poisoning scheme failed, or Su Yuan responded in time.

But no matter which one it is, it is no longer a reality to easily seize Tianmen Pass.

Still have to be steady.

On the city wall, Su Yuan looked at the Beida army, wondering what Li Shengtian would choose next.

Although he did his tricks and tricked and killed hundreds of soldiers from the northern army, but this number will not affect the overall situation, it will only slightly lower the morale of the enemy.

Moreover, Su Yuan also felt that Li Shengtian retreated quickly enough, and immediately retreated when he found something was wrong, which can be said to be a very stable combat character.

Switching to other generals, they may be unwilling to give up sunk costs and choose to continue to increase their offensive.If so, more people will be lost.

Now at Tianmen Pass, Su Yuan has a total of [-] troops at his disposal.

Among them, there are [-] Xiliang iron cavalry and [-] Imperial Forest Army.

In addition, the [-] real soldiers led by Niu Yuhong will arrive in the afternoon, and Chu Changning, who led [-] Xiliang cavalry back from Beirong, will also arrive at Tianmen Pass tomorrow evening.

By then, Su Yuan would have a total of 11 available troops.

11 and 45, the gap seems to be a bit big.

But Su Yuan has a dangerous pass at the gate of heaven, and his soldiers are more elite, so he is not worried about anything.

He even prepared for the worst, in case the gate could not be closed, he could give up the defense and let the tens of thousands of cavalry corps take the initiative to attack.On the opposite side, the northern army is still dominated by infantry, and it has little advantage against Xiliang iron cavalry.

but……

Su Yuan thought, Li Shengtian should also be aware of this.

So what is his response?
Su Yuan will not underestimate the enemy, and soon, he found that Li Shengtian's army started operations.

The North Army did not easily try to attack Tianmen Pass. Instead, a few hundred meters outside Tianmen Pass, some soldiers began to transport logs and make fences.

Su Yuan was a little surprised to see this scene from afar.

"My lord, the enemy army seems to be setting up camp!"

Zhao Yun also saw the situation in the distance.

"Well, it seems that Li Shengtian didn't have the idea of ​​sending the battle to a quick decision, but wanted to fight a protracted battle with us." Su Yuan said, thinking in his heart, this Li Shengtian is really stable enough.

Even though he had hundreds of thousands of troops in his hand, he did not choose to attack by force, but formed a stronghold in the most stable way.

Thus……

Su Yuan laughed in his heart, my summoned soldiers don't need to consume food and grass.

If it was a confrontational war of attrition, then Su Yuan could fight him forever.

Because his summoned soldiers don't need to eat, as long as the food can meet the consumption of real soldiers.And he has the entire Mozhou, and several tribes such as Beirong are also in his pocket. Such a large area can't afford to feed and drink 2 people?
Discussing the Northern Army is different.

How much food do 45 people need to eat a day?

Even with the backing of the eleven states of Dazhou, how long can the supply of food and grass be.Not to mention that there may be many deductions in the middle, and a lot of manpower will be consumed in transportation.

Just imagine, to deliver food to 45 people, at least hundreds of thousands of migrant workers need to be employed.

Adding up, millions of people are here to spend hard with Su Yuan...

It has to be said that if Su Yuan's summoned soldiers also need to eat and drink, then Li Shengtian's steady behavior is still a "hands-on".

But the problem is that this is not the case, Li Shengtian is completely in a state of information asymmetry, so this trick can only be regarded as "vulgar hand".

"My lord." Zhao Yun asked to fight, "The last general can lead thousands of light cavalry to go out of the city for guerrilla attacks and interfere with the construction of his city!"

"This... is also good."

Originally, Su Yuan didn't think about attacking, but Li Shengtian wanted to delay, so let's delay and see who will collapse first.It happened that Su Yuan could also use this time to search for the poisoner in Mozhou with all his strength.

But it's good to let Zhao Yun take the initiative to attack, this can also give Li Shengtian an illusion.

A "I don't want you to build camp" illusion.

If Li Shengtian took this delusion seriously, he would definitely speed up the construction of the camp, which would be good for Su Yuan.

Soon, Zhao Yun led a thousand cavalry out of the city.

He didn't ask for too many people, because the purpose of the battle was to harass, not fight head-on.It's just harassment. There are too many people, but it is not flexible enough, and it is easy to get overwhelmed.

From a distance of hundreds of meters, Li Shengtian could clearly see the situation at Tianmenguan.Naturally, Li Shengtian could also see the movement at Tianmenguan.

As soon as he saw that the city gate was opened and the cavalry came out of the city, he immediately mobilized the cavalry to attack Zhao Yun's army.

After Zhao Yun led the army out of the city, he didn't run towards Li Shengtian's army in a straight line, but went around to the left.

The cavalry sent by Li Shengtian totaled about 5000 people, divided into three teams, and attacked from the left, center, and right respectively. It seemed that they wanted to surround Zhao Yun and cut off his retreat.

However, since Zhao Yun dared to apply to play, he was confident enough in his own strength.

He himself rushed to the forefront of the army, holding a gentian silver gun high in his hand.

Soon, the cavalry of the two armies collided, and Zhao Yun rushed into the enemy's formation first, shouting: "Sweep the thousand troops!"

The extremely powerful light blue inner energy erupted from his body, attached to the spear, and with a sweep of the spear, dozens of northern cavalrymen flew out together with their horses.

The gunshot went further, and a cavalryman in front of him and even a dozen cavalrymen behind him were all penetrated by the light blue inner force, vomiting blood and falling off the horse.

In just a few short breaths, Zhao Yun had defeated nearly a hundred enemies!
This scene really shocked Li Shengtian, he couldn't help rubbing his eyes: "Grandmaster?! No, close to Grandmaster..."

At the same time, Su Yuan was very excited when he saw this scene on the city wall of Tianmenguan.

Zhao Yun was like a god of war. He himself was like a gun in his hand, directly piercing the enemy's left-wing cavalry.

Moreover, the light blue inner energy that he erupted reminded Su Yuan of the really indistinct purple true essence.

"Xiantian Dzogchen, you subordinate, half of your foot has already stepped into the realm of a master."

Zhen Miao did not know when she appeared next to Su Yuan, looking at Zhao Yundao from a distance.

She doesn't like the situation of war very much. She didn't appear on the battlefield a few times before, but she probably felt Zhao Yun's explosion when she came out now.

Su Yuan asked: "Grand Master, does the Grand Master's true energy have color in the external performance?"

He has seen the internal strength of some innate masters, basically invisible to the naked eye, and can only be judged by the dust that is stirred up.

But the indistinct purple primordial essence, as well as the not-so-dark light blue inner energy erupted by Zhao Yun at the moment, are unusual.

Zhen Yao nodded and said: "True Yuan will be formed after the qualitative change of the internal force. The true Yuan of each master has its own characteristics, so it will show certain color differences."

"Your subordinate, part of the internal energy in your body has been transformed into true energy, so it has become special. After all the internal energy has been transformed, you will step into the realm of the master."

"Then Grand Master, can you see what Zhao Yun's true essence is?"

"It seems to be a unique aura." Zhen Miao observed Zhao Yun galloping in the army, and made a judgment, "Under the influence of his true energy, the enemy will unconsciously feel fear, which can be said to be a very suitable for the army. True element traits."

"I see!"

Just like what Zhen Miao said, this is indeed a true essence trait that is very suitable for a general in the army.

It can be seen that Zhao Yun was born to be a general galloping on the battlefield.

At this moment, on the battlefield outside the city, Zhao Yun alone had killed more than 300 enemies. Together with other Xiliang cavalry, he had defeated one of the three cavalry squads sent by Li Shengtian.

Seeing Zhao Yun's bravery, the remaining two teams also became cowering, lost momentum, and spun around on the spot, not daring to double-team.

Seeing this, Zhao Yun directly ignored the other two cavalry teams. Instead, he led his men to gallop to the location of Li Shengtian's army, riding and shooting at the camp that was being built.

"A lot, a lot, a lot!"

Most of the arrows were blocked by the wooden shield, not very lethal, but extremely insulting.

Who can bear the hundreds of thousands of troops being ridden in the face by a small group of thousands of cavalry?
However, Li Shengtian did not give the order to pursue, and watched Zhao Yun lead his cavalry to finish a round of shooting and walk away.

"General! Let that guy be so arrogant!"

One of Li Shengtian's lieutenants couldn't help roaring.

"Our hundreds of thousands of troops, why are we afraid of him!"

"That fierce general is a master of martial arts, so he can't be easily taken down." Li Shengtian said calmly, "There is no need to be impulsive. They go out of the city to harass, but they don't want to see us build the camp."

"This!"

The lieutenant general looked angry, very unconvinced.

"How about a martial arts master, I have also practiced martial arts, and those cavalrymen are too afraid, so that young general is unscrupulous!"

Li Shengtian glanced at him. This lieutenant general was a general of the Qingzhou Army. From the beginning of the formation of the army, he had been flirting and singing the opposite tune.

Li Shengtian understood that this was an expression of dissatisfaction.The imperial court asked him to parachute to command the Qingzhou Army as the coach, and the generals of the Qingzhou Army will definitely be dissatisfied.

After thinking about this, he suddenly said: "Since Vice General Zhang said so, it's better to go out and fight."

The deputy general surnamed Zhang was taken aback when he heard the words, and deliberately refused.

He actually knew that he was speaking out of anger, because he also saw Zhao Yun's brave performance and knew that he would not be an opponent.

The reason why I said that was just to make fun of Li Shengtian.

In the end, I didn't expect that Li Shengtian would use words to arrest him instead. Seeing the generals and soldiers around him all look at him, if he admits to being cowardly at this time, how can he hold his head up in the army in the future?
Lieutenant Zhang surnamed secretly gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Okay! I'll go out and fight!"

He raised his sword, put on his armor, and rode out on his horse.

Zhao Yun led his troops to conduct a guerrilla attack just now, but now he has retreated into the city.

So Vice General Zhang came to Tianmen Gate and shouted loudly: "That young general in white robe just now! Do you dare to fight!"

On the top of the city wall, Su Yuan's face was covered, not knowing what the man below meant.

Challenge Zhao Yun?Didn't he just see how Zhao Yun rushed to kill Xiao Pan in the enemy army?

"My lord! Tell the last general to cut off this dog!" Seeing this, Zhao Yun was also full of murderous intent, apparently never thinking of avoiding the battle.

Su Yuan's heart is good, it is relatively rare in real wars for generals to fight one-on-one, and generally speaking, generals will not take risks.

But as long as there is such a thing, it will definitely be a good story.

Moreover, the morale of the victorious army will rise sharply, while the morale of the losing side will naturally decline.

Su Yuan had full confidence in Zhao Yun, and immediately agreed to let him play.

The city gate opened, and Zhao Yun rode alone, holding a spear, and rode his horse to the formation of the two armies.

Before, he didn't notice it from a distance, but now facing Zhao Yun alone, the deputy general surnamed Zhang suddenly felt a sense of fear.

Obviously Zhao Yun's appearance is not vicious, but very handsome.But it gave him a sense of terror, making him fight with each other, almost wanting to dismount and surrender.

No, absolutely not!

At least I have to fight with him, and then withdraw when I lose, this can be regarded as an explanation!

The deputy general surnamed Zhang was thinking. At this time, the soldiers on both sides were beating drums to help.

The thunderous sound of drums stimulated the eardrums and blood of everyone on the battlefield.

Compared with fighting with large armies, this kind of duel between generals is undoubtedly more exciting.

"Young general Tuna!" The deputy general surnamed Zhang emboldened himself loudly, "Today is the time for your death!"

Zhao Yun asked coldly: "Who are you? Zhao Yun's gun will not kill the unknown!"

"I am General Zhang Rongdao of Qingzhou, an unknown junior, I will die quickly!!!"

Zhang Rongdao pinched the horse's belly with his legs, and swung his knife at Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun's face was cold, he didn't use his true energy, he just swung his spear and swung Zhang Rongdao's sword, then turned his wrist, and sent the spear point forward, piercing Zhang Rongdao's throat in an instant.

"puff!"

Zhao Yun put away his gun and came back, snorted coldly, turned and left.

Behind him, Zhang Rongdao's eyes widened and he fell to his death.He wanted to make a symbolic slash, and then hit the horse and retreated, but he didn't expect that he was stabbed by Zhao Yun under the horse without even making a move.

"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"

Su Yuan asked the soldiers to shout loudly to strengthen Zhao Yun's bravery.

However, the whole army was silent when discussing the northern army. If one's own general fought back and forth with the opponent, it would be okay to lose.

As a result, he was stabbed to death as soon as they met each other, which was really embarrassing.

"Humph!"

Seeing this situation, Li Shengtian snorted coldly.

He had expected this outcome long ago, and glanced at the generals of Qingzhou with lowered eyes: "If you still want to fight, you can go there!"

The Qingzhou generals looked away one after another, not daring to look at him.

"Since you don't dare, then obey the military order! Next time whoever questions the commander's order will be dealt with by military law!"

"Yes!"

The generals responded in unison.

Those who are smart have already seen that Li Shengtian deliberately used Zhang Rongdao's life to kill chickens and monkeys.

It's just that he didn't use the knife himself, but borrowed the gun from the young general in white robe who called himself "Zhao Yun".

Seeing that the Qingzhou generals bowed their heads, Li Shengtian was quite satisfied.

Although Zhang Rongdao was shot and killed by Zhao Yun on the opposite side, it dealt a blow to the morale of his own army.But compared with the disobedience and disobedience of the generals under his command, morale is a small problem.

Li Shengtian said solemnly: "We have to quickly build the camp. When the army is stationed in the camp, it will not be so easy for the Bei'an army to rely on cavalry to harass them!"
