Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 99 It's Over
Three days later.

The northern army had already retreated five miles and set up camp again.

Soldiers can finally sleep peacefully.

The generals are still worried, especially Li Shengtian, he is a little anxious now.

It stands to reason that such a large-scale war, let alone a month, is a common occurrence for a year or so.In many large-scale wars, the soldiers fought while farming, and the military supplies were all grown by themselves, so they were self-sufficient.

But this war is different.

Emperor Qingxiang was very anxious. He didn't want to be the first emperor in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty whose territory did not increase but decreased.That would really make the ancestors feel sorry.

When he was in a hurry, Li Shengtian also felt uncomfortable.

He had just received the imperial decree before, and although it didn't accuse him of losing the first battle, it could be revealed between the lines that Emperor Qingxiang was dissatisfied with him.

This is what Li Shengtian is most afraid of.

Since ancient times, when the army stayed outside for a long time, the emperor was easily suspicious.After all, the general will not accept the orders of the emperor, and with hundreds of thousands of troops in his hand, even if the general is his own son, he can't rest assured.

If there are some treacherous villains who keep listening to the wind, the emperor is likely to make decisions such as changing generals.

Li Shengtian didn't want to be replaced, so he also wanted to get some results as soon as possible.

Not to mention taking down the entire city of Mozhou, as long as the Tianmen Pass is broken first, it is enough to give the court and the emperor a reassurance.

In addition...

"Report, General, people from the capital are here."

"Oh."

Li Shengtian was thinking about the letter Fu Chengyang gave him, which stated that a group of masters of the rivers and lakes would come to help in a few days.

Now people have come.

He stepped out of the big tent and immediately felt a rush of heat.

This kind of scorching heat is the expression of the martial arts master's blood, which can only be achieved by innate masters.

Looking up, there were nearly 50 people who came.There are more than a dozen people who are congenital masters, and the rest are acquired, but even if they are acquired, their realm is above the sixth level of acquired.

"I've seen the general!"

The beggar gang disciples said in unison.

"……very good."

Li Shengtian was also polite, and immediately organized these beggar gang disciples into a team.

Then he asked people to bring the armor of ordinary soldiers and put them on.

In this way, they look no different from ordinary soldiers in the army.Only masters in the innate realm can perceive that they have martial arts.

What is the purpose of such a group of people, Fu Chengyang has already stated in the letter.

To put it bluntly, it is called Xiandengtuan, and to put it bluntly, it is called Climbing the Wall Toolman.

These nearly fifty disciples of the Beggar Clan who possessed martial arts had only one task, that is to climb the city wall of Tianmen Pass and stand firm for a certain period of time.

As long as they can climb up, clear an open space, and hold on for a while, when all the soldiers of the Northern Army climb up the city wall, their mission will be completed.

As for how much they'll survive then...

Li Shengtian didn't know.

He knew very well in his heart that there were also masters on Su Yuan's side.

What is known so far is that his general, Zhao Yun, has reached the innate peak, and can even be called a half-step master.

This one person alone is extremely difficult to deal with, even the dozens of innate masters of the Beggar Gang may not be able to beat them together.

But holding on should still be possible.

As long as it can be held back, it is really possible for other acquired masters to use their strength to surpass the advantages of others, and it is really possible to temporarily gain a foothold on the city wall.

The premise is not to be noticed by Su Yuan.

If he knew in advance that there would be a group of masters attacking the city and made preparations in advance, it would not be so easy to take it by surprise.

Therefore, confidentiality work must be done well.

Regarding the troops of the Beggar Gang, Li Shengtian did not let other generals know that he did not fully trust those generals.

Whether it is from the capital and him, or the generals of the Qingzhou line, they are not considered his direct lineage, and there is a possibility of secretly collaborating with the enemy.

For this, he must first be careful and do some preliminary work.

"Bring Sun Tengwen!" He ordered the soldiers.

Soon, a smaller general arrived.

"General, do you have any orders from the general?"

"Sun Tengwen, you are quick-witted and quick-witted. I want you to bring someone to harass the guards at Tianmen Gate."

"Harassment?"

Sun Tengwen was a little puzzled. What's the point of harassment if he didn't succeed in the previous attack?

"Excuting an order!"

"Yes!"

Li Shengtian didn't give an explanation, and Sun Tengwen had no choice but to obey the order and lead people out of the camp.

"First harass for a few days, let Su Yuan gradually let go of his guard, and then launch another strong attack..." A determined look flickered in Li Shengtian's eyes, and he planned to invest more troops in the next strong attack.

It is conceivable that the situation will be more tragic than last time.

On the other side, Su Yuan was at Tianmen Pass and found a small group of Northern Army soldiers shooting arrows outside the pass. He didn't know what these guys were doing.

They just shot arrows towards Tianmenguan, but the problem is that they didn't even enter the effective killing range of the arrows, and the arrows basically hit the city wall.

In Su Yuan's view, it was a waste of bows and arrows.

However, Sun Tengwen also had something to say, he came to harass him in order to harass him anyway, just shoot arrows from a distance of several hundred meters, if he really wanted to enter the coverage of other people's catapults, bows and arrows, and die, that would be Big fool.

Thousands of people shot arrows at the city wall like fishing for fish. After a while, the city gate opened and Chu Changning led people out.

"Death!"

"what!"

When Sun Tengwen saw that there was a general coming out of the gate of heaven, he turned his head and ran away without saying a word.

He's here to harass, not fight, there's no need for hand-to-hand combat.

What's more, although this general is not Zhao Yun at the moment, Zhao Yun has left such a deep impression on the generals of the northern army that they are now unwilling to initiate a single-handed battle of generals.

The soldiers and horses that Sun Tengwen brought were all cavalry, and they ran straight away. Chu Changning couldn't catch up, so he could only watch them run away.

"This group of wimps!"

He went back to Tianmenguan cursing, but after a while, Sun Tengwen came back again.

Still the same as before, shooting arrows from a long distance, highlighting a fish in troubled waters.

Su Yuan didn't know what Li Shengtian meant by this. Could it be that he wanted to take revenge on his exhausted tactics?

But now in broad daylight, none of the cavalry had any tools to make noise...

"Changning, go and force them back."

"Yes."

Chu Changning took people out again.

Sun Tengwen escaped again.

The only difference this time is that after Chu Changning left the city, Su Yuan also left the city.

Although the large open space in front of the city cannot hide the army, there are some bushes, so it is still possible to hide a few people.

Su Yuan hid in one of the clumps, and when Chu Changning came back, he went back to Tianmen Pass. Unsurprisingly, the short general came back with someone.

It's just that this time he obviously didn't expect that he can't repeat it again and again.

Su Yuan, who was hiding in the bushes, watched Sun Tengwen lead his troops approaching, and directly used the soldier talisman to summon him.

With a flash of light, a large number of soldiers suddenly appeared around, and even General Zhao Yun was among them.

"The enemy will surrender quickly!"

Zhao Yun shouted loudly, almost scaring Sun Tengwen to death.

He stared wide-eyed, flustered, and really didn't know how this Bei'an army appeared out of thin air?
Appeared out of thin air?There is obviously only an open space in front of you?

Sun Tengwen couldn't figure it out, but when he wanted to run, it was too late.

The Beiliang iron cavalry summoned by Su Yuan surrounded his small army, but Sun Tengwen refused to surrender and shouted: "Kill! Kill!"

The soldiers under him were quite brave, no matter what the difference in strength, they just rushed out.

But the summoned soldiers don't care whether the enemy is brave or not. They just wave their weapons expressionlessly and kill the enemy.

Seeing dozens of corpses quickly appearing on the ground, Su Yuan's heart moved slightly in the rear.

He used the soldier talisman to summon five undead wizards.

Let them use the "resurrection of the dead" skill, only to hear the sound of "cracking" bones, and ten skeleton soldiers climbed out of the corpses of the northern soldiers.

This scene frightened the rest of the Beibei soldiers, who threw down their weapons and lay down on the ground screaming.

General Sun Tengwen was even more exaggerated. When he saw the skeleton soldier holding a bone knife, he rolled his eyes and passed out.

The battle was over in just a few minutes.

Zhao Yun didn't make a move at all. He looked at the skeleton soldiers and the undead wizards, but didn't say anything.

Just like he knew the existence of the "Soldier Talisman of the Heavens", he didn't feel any strangeness about other summoned soldiers like him.

"It's really useful."

Su Yuan also appeared at this time, and he looked at the ten skeleton soldiers and asked them to hit each other a few times.

The combat power can be said to be urgent, not as good as real soldiers can fight, but the horror ability is first-rate, it is perfect for scaring people.

At this time, as the time expired, the ten skeleton soldiers also "clicked and clicked" to pieces, and turned into a pile of bones and fell to the ground again.

"Okay, let's take everyone back."

"Yes, my lord."

Bring all the prisoners back, and Sun Tengwen is locked in a temporary cell.

Su Yuan wanted to interrogate him, so he called a Jin Yiwei over.

Shen Lian wasn't there, he was in Taiyuan now, focusing on arresting and searching the spider members.

"Whoa!"

Jin Yiwei poured a bucket of cold water on Sun Tengwen's head, and the latter's whole body trembled and he slowly opened his eyes.

He was still a little confused at first, but soon he exclaimed: "Ghost! Ghost!"

"What's your name?" Su Yuan asked.

"There is a ghost!!! Ah!!!"

"..."

"Snapped!"

Jin Yiwei slapped Sun Tengwen on the face, and shouted: "Our lord is asking you something!"

This palm is full of strength and draws a big red mark.

Sun Tengwen was also sobered up and understood his situation. He looked at Su Yuan for a while, and then said in surprise: "You, you are... Bei'an King Su Yuan?"

"It's me. What about you?"

"...The last general is Sun Tengwen, a partial general."

"Another general."

Sun Tengwen's heart moved, and he blurted out, "Is Wang Jian still alive?"

"He's doing just fine."

Su Yuan asked someone to bring Wang Jian. After Wang Jian entered the door, he saw Sun Tengwen and immediately said pleasantly, "Brother Sun!"

"..."

Sun Tengwen didn't know what expression to make, he thought to himself, why are you so happy to see me being arrested?

Wang Jian probably knew what Su Yuan meant by asking him to come, so he quickly walked up to Sun Tengwen, and said earnestly, "Brother Sun, listen to my younger brother, the King of Bei'an is the Lord of Benevolence and Virtue! Brother Sun, you are just like a younger brother. Hurry up and turn to the light!"

"This……"

Although Sun Tengwen had already guessed that Wang Jian would surrender, it was still a bit awkward to see him trying to persuade him.

"Okay, Wang Jian, you go out first."

"Yes, my lord."

Su Yuan didn't mean to ask Wang Jian to persuade him to surrender, but just asked him to show his face to prove that he was still alive.

After the soldiers took Wang Jian away, Sun Tengwen suddenly remembered the large number of soldiers who appeared out of thin air, and the skeleton...

He looked at Su Yuan with an extremely terrified look, and his voice was trembling nervously: "You are... sorcery... right..."

"Snapped!"

Jin Yiwei next to him slapped him again.

"What did you say?! Our lord knows fairy art!"

"That's right! I'm cheap, I should be beaten! It's fairy art!"

Sun Tengwen heard what Jin Yiwei said, and he was sure that Su Yuan really knew some "unusual skills", so his attitude took a 180-degree turn.

Wang Jian didn't need to persuade him to surrender, he himself became impatient.

"My lord! I am willing to surrender, and I am willing to do my best for you!"

"Are you willing to surrender, and I would like to take it back?" Su Yuan asked, "What is the task Li Shengtian gave you?"

In order to join the Bei'an Army at this moment, Sun Tengwen naturally knew everything and said everything.

"Report to the prince, Li Shengtian asked me to lead troops to harass him."

"Harassment?"

"Yes, Li Shengtian didn't tell me the specific reason. He just said that he asked me to lead troops to harass Tianmenguan for the past few days."

"..."

What is Li Shengtian going to do?

Su Yuan didn't know very well, but he didn't particularly care.

Any strategy or strategy must ultimately be implemented in terms of strength.Without sufficient strength to support it, even the most perfect strategy is like a paper tiger, which will be broken with one poke.

Su Yuan thought for a while, and then asked: "How is the food situation of your army?"

Sun Tengwen shook his head and said, "Not good! Three or four percent of the military rations brought in last time were bran, and we had to eat only one meal a day. Li Shengtian asked our generals to sign together and submit a copy to the capital. The capital also replied , there will be an urgent shipment of military rations in the next few days."

This is all right.

Su Yuan heard what Sun Tengwen said, so the news from Jin Yiwei and Wang Jian's friends can be guaranteed to be true.

In this way, great things can be accomplished.

He looked at Sun Tengwen, and finally asked: "Wang Jian is alive because he proved that he is still useful. What about you, can you prove that you are useful to me?"

Sun Tengwen opened his mouth, he got stuck for a while.

Seeing that Su Yuan was about to leave, he hurriedly said: "I'm useful! My lord, I can be a spy! Let me go back to the Northern Army, and I will pass on all the important information!"

"...Do you think Li Shengtian will still use you after you go back. Besides, if you tell Li Shengtian that I know 'witchcraft', then next time I use it again, won't it be so effective? Goodbye."

After Su Yuan finished speaking, he left the cell, and the Jin Yiwei who was still inside would finish up.

"My lord." Zhao Yun came over and said at this time, "those who begged the northern army have found that their harassing troops have been wiped out."

"Well, don't worry about them, prepare more kerosene. The confrontation has dragged on long enough, it's time to end."

　Remarks:
　　1. I drank too much yesterday and fell asleep when I came back... I apologize to everyone!

　　2. Today and tomorrow, there will be four changes in both days!
