Chapter 594: The Satsuma people who do big things (and die big things)
The battle report sent a few days ago showed that a regular army on the opposite side was defeated in one trial. This made Su Chen's cautious and careful attitude become a little uneasy.

Judging from the content sent by the grand master, the army of the Sakprut Empire should have referred to part of the military structure of the Roman era, and its combat effectiveness should not be so weak. '

After pondering for a moment, Su Chen put away the uneasiness and confusion in his heart, tapped his fingers on the armrest, and scanned the generals in the tent.

"The progress of the Xiliang Army is really going too smoothly... One legion, with more than 6,000 people, was killed in less than two hours. If the opponent was an old soldier like the Yan State, it would be reasonable, but the opponent is also from the south. A powerful force for the Northern War."

He glanced at the generals in the tent and said this.

Lu Bu frowned his thick eyebrows that were as sharp as swords, and his eyes were majestic and confused: "Death in the hands of Dong Zhuo's Xiliang army is indeed too childish."

With a casual sentence, Dong Zhuo was demoted again.

However, the rest of the people in the tent were not thinking about Lu Bu's words. Long Qie said in a low voice: "But their general was indeed beheaded by the formation, and we have all seen his head. I understand that Guo Si would not dare to take advantage of the situation." Lift.”

He is Xiang Yu's most capable person and a confidant. He is very proficient in fighting together. Since he said that Guo Si could not pretend to take the credit, everyone stopped thinking about it.

"Lead our army deep, cut off the rear army from behind, and cut off our army's supplies and supplies?" Pound suddenly said.

"Send someone to notify Commander Subotai Wanqi and ask him to send 5,000 Mongolian light cavalry to escort them and patrol the surrounding fifty miles along the way."

The entire city and outside the city, from the nobles to the common people, except for the slaves, almost everyone was excited.

"After returning home, follow this saying in your respective cities and spread it to the untouchables below."

This was a big event, and Adal did not dare to neglect it. He immediately wrote a letter and asked his confidants to leave the city as quickly as possible and go to the newly established capital - Harabitos!

"This is a good idea."

At present, Zhuge Liang is staying in Satila to take charge of the rear, and he can only rely on himself to fight the war.

After the order was issued, Su Chen broke camp and continued northward to join the Xiliang army. At the same time, he once again sent fast horses to carry the Satsuma language written by the clerk, urging the northern city-states over there to send out coalition troops.

On the wilderness, there are figures of people and war horses everywhere, which is completely different from the march of the Selis army that came here before.

"No one knows anyway."

Adal in the city received a letter jointly signed by eight lords, as well as a Satsuma Empire Medal and a letter of appointment.

There are eight city-states in the north, and the remaining three are still in the hands of the Sakprut Empire. The current city-states are all controlled by the nobles in their respective cities. The emperor elected to the throne is the emperor who died in the previous battle with Holy Lothar. uncle.

It wasn't until noon that things took a turn for the better.

They did not dare to procrastinate any longer, so they transferred two thousand people from the armies in their respective cities to form an army of sixteen thousand people. At the same time, they also prepared a portion of food for the Western Expeditionary Army.

The same is true in the rest of the city. One person spreads the word to ten, and the word spread in the city gradually changes.

Maybe it was the rumored Emperor Selis.

"I was promoted to Governor of Qadira without doing anything?"

The matter of sending troops had been under discussion before the Eastern Emperor's letter came.

Following this, more and more Satsuma families in the northern city-state began to believe that it was Kadila's Satsuma army that defeated Sakprut's army.

Soon, as the emperor, like a puppet, he announced the details of the war to all the people of Harabitos City according to what the eight people said. When he learned that he had defeated the first army of the conquerors and Adal of Cadilla The troops under his command were even heard to be led by Adal.

After Adal received the news that a large number of Selis troops were coming here, he came to the city wall and watched for a while.

"Back to Your Majesty, the rear army of Yuezhou and the army of raw slaves are escorting the grain and grass behind."

After all, eight lords are eight armies. Who can send out how many troops and who can get how much food supplies? Any one of them can make people fight over each other.

The new emperor Nizhdaban had no control over this. Except for his own 2,000-man guard army composed of noble sons, the rest of the army was in the hands of the lords of each city.

"But that was fought by the Eastern Army and has nothing to do with us."

The news that the First Legion of the Conquerors was defeated by the Eastern Army a few days ago had been transmitted, and then a messenger was sent by the Eastern Emperor, urging them to send out coalition forces to fight in conjunction with the Eastern Army.

Soon, Adal's letter followed and the eight lords, together with Emperor Nizhdaban, knew that the Emperor of the East had arrived there.

Instead, the Eastern army became the foil, or the one being commanded.

"Sakprut's first army of conquerors was defeated, and Kadila's side celebrated with carnival for two days. We should also publicize it here to boost the morale of the people."

Xiang Yu also nodded.

However, after everyone ate some snacks and regained their energy, they discussed another matter.

After several days, we arrived at Kadila, a small border town in front of Sami where Dong Zhuo was located.

Because of the language barrier, Adal, the city guard, did not dare to come out to greet him. Who knows if the other party would take the opportunity to attack the city. You know, when the Eastern army came here, whether it was the Samos or the Sakpruts, they all They were all slaughtered as well.

"It will be more conducive to our rule. Let the untouchables below know that the northern city-state of Satsuma has not become fragile because of the loss of most of its land!"

After the letter from the Eastern Emperor came, the eight lords came to the palace of Harabitos and started quarreling again in front of the emperor.

Although he couldn't understand the language, Adal knew clearly from the flags and military appearance that a big shot from the Eastern Army was coming.

Su Chen was silent for a moment and looked at Ma Dai: "Where are the Yuezhou Army and the Shengnu Army?"

"The enemy's move is in line with what this late Han general said."

The new emperor Nizhdaban was sitting on the throne, looking at the discussions among the eight lords below with confusion in his eyes.

"We are a coalition force. They defeated the First Army of the Conquerors, which means we were defeated. Besides, no civilians could see it. Let's just say that Cadilla's general Adal was brave and good at fighting. He led Selis and Cadilla The army was defeated."

On March 15, the coalition forces were still on the road and were about to arrive at Kadila.

The reputation of this Seris army is truly terrifying.

Adal was in a daze. After hearing what the messenger said, there were widespread rumors in the northern city-states that he led the army of Selis and the garrison of Kadira to defeat the army of the enemy Sakprut.

"you……"

Adal was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and his face instantly turned red. He was a general and a soldier. The battle had not been fought, and he knew very well that he was pretending to take credit in this way, while the emperor was still on the side. If the other party knew...

Thinking of this, he blushed.

"The Selis people won't know, are you right, Governor Adar." The messenger said with a smile. "hope so."

Adal pursed his lips and originally wanted to retort, but at the address of 'Governor Adal', his tone changed and he responded in a low voice.

However, they did not know that among the messengers returning from Harabitos, there were officials who understood the Samoan language. As messengers, they entered the western barbarian city. In addition to delivering messages, they also took the opportunity to observe the buildings and defenses in the city. , street layout.

Naturally, he listened to all the rumors in the market.

And that messenger was Li Chaofu. As soon as he returned to the army, he told Su Chen all the rumors among the people of Harabitus, and the generals nearby also heard it, and they all immediately blew their beards and stared.

As a general, his title of victory was secretly taken away by others. Ordinary people would be angry, let alone their hot tempers?

Lu Bu directly hammered the chair under him to pieces, and Li Chaofu, who was closest to him, almost suffered disaster.

"These Satsuma people are really bad at fighting, but they are quite good at it." Su Chen leaned back in his chair and rubbed his eyebrows. Of course he couldn't swallow this, but now he still needs the other side to send coalition troops to charge for him. .

After a long time, Su Chen put down his hand, waved to Lu Bu opposite him, and then motioned to Wu Zixun to move another chair.

"Don't be anxious, Marquis Wen. I will show this tone sooner or later, but not now. These Satsuma people are still useful at the moment. It would be a pity to kill them."

But just as he finished speaking, a soldier came to report. The soldier outside the tent opened the curtain and came in. He whispered a few words in Wu Zixun's ear, and the latter immediately conveyed it to Su Chen.

"I was talking about the coalition just now, but now we have finally arrived. More than 10,000 people. More than 10,000 people. It's better than nothing."

When they heard that the coalition forces were coming, they also sent a batch of food.

Su Chen's displeasure was finally relieved. Immediately, he stood up and walked out of the long desk. He smiled at everyone in the tent and said, "Let's go and see the Samoan army first. Select the ones we like and send them to each army to form a death camp." ”

The generals liked hearing this, and what the Satsuma nobles had done made them feel angry. Naturally, they were not polite and followed Su Chen out of the commander's tent.

On the way to the school grounds, everyone said: "These Satsuma people are finally reliable for once."

"Let King Xiang choose first later. He doesn't have many troops under his command." Ma Chao suggested.

"Then let's do this. Let them form an army alone. I'm afraid they will collapse on their own before they can fight..."

Lu Bu was talking and followed Su Chen into the school grounds. His words suddenly stuck in his throat, and Su Chen in front of him stopped.

The Xiliang and Qingzhou soldiers around the school grounds were also looking at the Satsuma soldiers, but their faces were strange and even angry.

Here, Su Chen's calm face gradually turned to anger, and the generals following him frowned or gritted their teeth and sneered.

On the school grounds, among the thousands of Satsuma people who came in, there were many elderly people with gray hair, and the youngest ones were all middle-aged.

"More than 10,000 old and weak remnants were actually sent..." An Lushan glanced behind him and cursed: "Is this an insinuation that our assembly team is working with the old and weak remnants?"

These words instantly ignited the dynamite barrel.

Xiang Yu and others, who were still holding back their anger, were suddenly on the verge of exploding, looking at the emperor with murderous intent.

Su Chen still didn't change his expression, but called Wu Zixun and asked him to take people outside to see if other Satsuma people were like this.

Not long after, Wu Zixun, who had been riding out, rushed back. Panting, he turned over and dismounted, came over and said, "Your Majesty, these are a bunch of old, weak and disabled soldiers. I also saw a few missing arms and legs inside."

"Where is the food that was delivered?"

"Right over there, come into the military camp with this group of Satsuma people and stop near the camp gate."

After listening, Su Chen did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he turned around and strode towards the front gate of the military camp. In the past, he could see hundreds of dilapidated carriages parked, filled with large and small sacks, bulging. , as if stuffed with food.

Su Chen strode towards the nearest grain truck, pulled out the dragon bird with a clang, and cut open a bag of grain. Suddenly, a large amount of wheat splashed out, along with a large amount of musty smell.

Lu Bu went up to his mouth and grabbed it, spread it in his hand, took a look, smelled it again, and looked back at Su Chen.

"Your Majesty, it's all old grain, and there's still a lot of gravel in it."

Su Chen's eyes drooped, he looked at the grain carts for a moment, then turned around and walked back. When everyone followed, his voice spread.

"Send someone to call the Satsuma general in this city. If he doesn't come, we will attack the city! In addition..."

Su Chen glanced in the direction of the school ground.

"Kill all these people, let the other side take away their heads together with the food, and send them back to their city. It's time to give these Satsuma people some color."

"I go!"

Pang De walked out first and asked for orders, and Ma Dai also followed him out. After all, for this kind of thing, other generals running over seemed a little bit inferior to their status. As a deputy general, it matched his status and seemed much more reasonable.

The huge military camp became restless. Ma Dai and Pang De led the flying Qiang cavalry and borrowed two battalions of the Qingzhou Army. They quickly left the left military camp, stirring up long dragon-like smoke and dust in the wilderness.

Adal of Kadila had naturally learned the news first, and hurried to the city wall, his pupils suddenly shrank, it was the dust raised by thousands of soldiers and horses.

Two thousand cavalrymen galloped past from a distance with the momentum of thousands of troops galloping. The rumble of horse hooves trampled the ground. Even standing on the top of the city, the soles of the feet could feel the vibration.

Two arrays composed of thousands of infantry, archers, and light cavalry moved this way between the sights of the Satsuma people on the city.

A'dal pressed against the wall, his hands tightened, and his body trembled involuntarily.

'Has it been discovered by the Emperor of the East? '

At this time, a soldier next to him suddenly shouted: "General Adal, someone is riding over from the other side."

Adal nodded and tried to calm down, at least in front of his soldiers so that no one could see his timidity.

Immediately, the soldiers were asked to shout to the rushing Eastern Knight. The words they shouted were naturally in Satsuma language.

In his heart, he still hoped that if the other party didn't understand, he would leave.

However, under the city wall, the running cavalry reined up their horses and stopped not far from the city wall, shouting towards the city: "My son, Daxia, please ask the general of this city to go to the military camp!"

The Eastern knights under the city wall actually spoke the Satsuma language.

This surprised Adal and at the same time, he became a little more nervous. He was about to answer the other party that he might not be able to go, but the Eastern Knight below followed closely.

"If you don't go, attack the city immediately and leave no one behind inside or outside!"
