Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 528 First Victory
An hour later, the Minyue camp gradually calmed down, and the chasing South Vietnamese knights returned one after another. Almost none of them were empty-handed, and all of them were holding more or less prisoners.The Minyue soldiers hadn't recovered from the panic. They were tied together, looking depressed.Especially when they found that there were only four hundred and five South Vietnamese knights, their expressions became more complicated.

The emotions of the South Vietnamese soldiers were extremely high.The first time he played in the battle, he achieved a brilliant achievement. Whether he was a high-spirited young man or a mature and prudent veteran, he felt a little unbelievable.With 500 people attacking a camp of more than 2000 people, they not only easily won the victory, but also captured prisoners almost equal to their own strength. In any case, this was an exciting victory.

The power of the cavalry is really extraordinary.

Zhao Yingqi was especially happy and grateful to Liang Xiao.He is not stupid, he sees what Liang Xiao does, even if selfishness cannot be ruled out, to him, this is a real help.With such military exploits, his position as the crown prince is not only more consolidated, but also he can smoothly gain a foot in the army.When he takes over in the future, he won't have to have no control over the generals like his father now.

"Your Majesty, you need cavalry..." Zhao Yingqi shook his head again and again, and he picked up a bowl of fish soup that the Minyue people had cooked but hadn't had time to eat yet. "It's really amazing. I didn't say anything, I respect you a bowl."

Liang Xiao laughed, picked up the bowl, and touched Zhao Yingqi. "This is a small test, just an appetizer. Your Highness cannot underestimate the enemy. It is the way of a military strategist not to be arrogant in victory and not discouraged in defeat."

"Definitely, definitely." Zhao Yingqi took a big mouthful of soup and grinned from the heat. "My lord, what should I do next?"

"We robbed Jing Zhao's supply camp, so we have the capital to play with him slowly." Liang Xiao looked at the piles of grain and grass around him. "Next, I have two plans, and I am going to discuss them with Your Highness."

"You say, you say."

"First, we must always pay attention to the Fujian and Yue reinforcements from Dongye. The open terrain here is conducive to cavalry conflicts, but not conducive to standing firm. We must always be careful not to be entangled by the Minyue people."

"That makes sense." Zhao Yingqi raised his thumb. "Your Majesty is really calm. After such a big victory, he didn't relax at all."

"What kind of victory is this?" Han said, walking over with two heads in hand, just in time to hear Zhao Yingqi's words, and dismissed them. "Liang Junhou fought in the northern border. In which battle did he not behead a thousand people? Junhou, I was lucky. I beheaded a Fujian and Yue general."

Liang Xiao glanced at the gorgeous helmet, very surprised. "You are indeed suitable for the battlefield. You made great achievements in the first battle. With this head, you can at least be named a Guanneihou."

"Hahaha..." Han said that he was overjoyed and said a few words modestly. "It's all the princes who command well."

"Your Highness, look, this is the son of my big man." Liang Xiao said with a smile: "It is good to have the ancestor's shadow to inherit, but without the ancestor's shadow to inherit, you can carve out a world by yourself."

"They are all fierce guys." Zhao Yingqi was in a complicated mood.Liang Xiao became famous as a young man, this Han said that he beheaded a Minyue general in his first battle, why is Han Jiaerlang so fierce.Compared with them, the young people of South Vietnam are more than wild, but not brave enough.

"You're not weak." Han Shuo sat next to Zhao Yingqi, Beta filled a bowl of fish soup and handed it over, Han Shuo took it, and nodded his thanks. "Junhou, you just said the first point, what is the second point, let's hear it."

"Second point, we have to turn around and take Pukui Pass. We have few troops, so if we want to get the Minyue people stuck by their necks, we have to guard against danger. Pukui Pass has a difficult terrain and is the main throat between Fujian and Vietnam. , control the Pukui Pass, and seize the opportunity."

"It makes sense." Han said, frowning. "But how did the cavalry break through?"

"Cavalry can't take off, but it doesn't say that cavalry can't dismount. We are not Huns, and we can't walk without horses. In horse battles, we can beat them to death. In foot battles, we won't lose either. .”

Han said and nodded.Zhao Yingqi also nodded in agreement.These people are not natural knights, and their ability to fight on foot is still higher than that on horseback.

"However, Pukui Pass is very dangerous. If we only rely on these people, if we attack by force, the gains may outweigh the losses."

"That's right, so let's think about it together, is there a way to win the pass without a strong attack?"

Han Shuo and Zhao Yingqi frowned, looking distressed.

Liang Xiao didn't rush them either.He also found it difficult.However, you can't stop doing it just because it's difficult.If there is no favorable terrain to defend, they will not be able to stop Jing Zhao.At that time, he could only burn the luggage in the camp with a single fire.That would be a pity.His goal is not only these, he wants to drive a nail here, nailing the seven inches of Minyue and Nanyue, and use this place as a springboard.

Liang Xiao raised his eyelids and glanced into the distance.He can't see the sea, but he knows that there is a treasure island in the sea waiting for him to conquer.

Yue people can row across the straits in simple boats. I own a building boat, so what else is there to be afraid of?

How to capture Pukui Pass, Liang Xiao has not yet figured out a good way, but this does not prevent him from sending people northward.He called Han Shuo aside and said, "There is something dangerous, do you dare to go?"

Han Shuo laughed when he heard about it. "What dare not?"

"Take two people, one month's food and grass, and head north along the coast. If possible, go all the way north, as far as Kuaiji County."

Han was puzzled. "What are you doing? Ask Kuaiji County soldiers to attack Pukui Pass?"

"Of course not." Liang Xiao thought for a while, looked around again, and said in a low voice: "Yan An and I had an idea to let Wei Qing come to Panyu by boat. I don't know if the imperial court has such an arrangement. If so, Wei Qing should have arrived in Minyue by now, but I don’t know where they are. You may meet them if you walk along the coast. If you do, ask him to send 2000 people here.”

Han understood as soon as he heard it.There is food and grass prepared for Jing Zhao's army in this big camp, which is enough for 2000 people for a year.With [-] Han soldiers, Pukui Pass and Yupukui Pass can be captured, and the Han army will have a foothold here, which is equivalent to strangling the throats of Minyue and Nanyue.It won't be so easy for them to hook up in the future.

"Junhou, you are too insidious." Han said blurted out.

"What did you say?"

Han said that he knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly changed his words: "Oh, no, I mean, you are too clever. Is this the same as hitting a snake and hitting seven inches?"

Liang Xiao smiled. "I didn't expect you to learn the Yue people's sayings so quickly. That's right, that's what I mean. However, I don't dare to say whether it will be successful. If you go all the way north, if you don't meet the army, don't come back. I can't guarantee that I will still be here when you come back."

"Junhou, I understand." Han said and patted his chest. "The task must be completed."

"Be careful, you will not only have to deal with the Minyue people, but also beware of the poisonous insects and beasts in the mountains, and you may get lost. I hope that the training in the past few months has made you fully prepared. Remember, just in case If you get lost, you just walk along the water, and when you get to the seaside, go north, and you will always find your way.”

Han said that he blinked and nodded vigorously. "Thank you Junhou for reminding me, I will be careful."

Liang Xiao then took care of some precautions, told Han that he had picked two officials, and asked Zhao Yingqi to arrange a South Vietnamese knight who was familiar with life in the mountains. Four people and eight horses left the camp and walked along the road. The seaside, all the way to the north.

Jing Ping was still on the way when he received an alarm sent by someone from Jing Zhao.Knowing that it was the elder brother Liang Xiao, and that there were cavalrymen beside Liang Xiao, Jing Ping was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat and didn't recover for a long time.

He is Huan Yuan's registered disciple, and he has been paying attention to the movement of Liang Xiao, a senior brother.He knew the news about Liang Xiao's meritorious service in the Western Regions and Northern Xinjiang, and when the news reached Minyue, it had been greatly deformed and became like a myth.

Even if it was a myth, Jing Ping did not easily deny it.To a certain extent, Liang Xiao has long been a myth in the minds of their seniors.Back then on the mountain outside Gusu City, Liang Xiao shot and killed more than a dozen archers from the Houyi Battalion by himself, and even killed a fierce tiger with one arrow. Whether it was archery or courage, he was overwhelmed with admiration.

How did the elder brother get the cavalry, and there are so many of them?Jing Ping couldn't understand it.In his concept, neither Nanyue nor Minyue had cavalry.There is only one possibility for Liang Xiao's cavalry, they were brought from the Central Plains.However, how could Nanyue let Liang Xiao invade with cavalry, and how could Liang Xiao help Nanyue fight?
For a while, Jing Ping thought more and more, and the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became.

He didn't dare to neglect, so he quickened his pace and rushed to Zhangpu Camp.According to Jing Zhao's estimate, Liang Xiao led the cavalry to detour, and the target was probably the baggage of the Zhangpu camp.The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. If the Zhangpu camp is robbed by Liang Xiao, it will be more or less auspicious.Even if it is rushed from Dongzhi, it may not be in time.

Once the army runs out of food, the consequences will be disastrous.

Jing Ping urged his subordinates to speed up their pace, cross Pukui Pass, and rush to Zhangpu Camp.He hurried slowly, or took a step slowly.Just after leaving Pantuo Ridge, he encountered a group of rout soldiers and got the news that the Zhangpu camp had fallen.

Jing Ping was dumbfounded, wanting to cry but no tears.He felt like the tiger outside Gusu City, collided head-on with Liang Xiao, and was shot through the head by Liang Xiao before the fight.

This is how to do?Senior brother, you have made our father and son miserable.

Jing Ping thought about it, and while sending someone to deliver a letter to Jing Zhao, he chose a favorable terrain to camp.Before he knew Liang Xiao's strength, he didn't dare to step forward to fight easily.He sent out scouts to move around to find out about Liang Xiao. At the same time, he also recruited rout troops to strengthen his strength as much as possible.

The news of Jing Ping's arrival quickly reached Liang Xiao's ears.

At that moment, Liang Xiao was also a little nervous and a little scared.Jing Ping came too fast, which seriously exceeded his estimate.Estimated from the time, Jing Ping set off almost at the same time as him.It's just that Jing Ping didn't expect that he would attack Zhangpu in a detour, so he didn't go all the way very fast.Otherwise, Jing Ping might rush to Zhangpu ahead of him.

It can be seen from this that Huan Yuan's evaluation of Jing Zhao is correct, he is a person who seeks stability.This time he won, but only in speed.If he had hesitated for a day or two, Jing Zhao would have won.

Jing Ping's response also gave Liang Xiao some headaches.Jing Ping neither attacked hastily, nor did he stop there.It is also a very prudent strategy for him to defend against danger and gather rout troops.Jing Ping himself brought 1000 men, and together with the rout, the total force may reach about 2000.If he fights first, he doesn't have enough advantage, even if he can win, it will be a miserable victory.

The more troublesome thing is yet to come. If Jing Zhao gets the news and follows him, the difference in strength between the two sides will reach twenty to one.There is only one retreat before him: escape.

Han said he had only been away for a long time, and Jing Ping came, God bless the big man.

After thinking for a long time, Liang Xiao sent someone to invite Zhao Yingqi to inform him of Jing Ping's arrival.When Zhao Yingqi heard this, his face turned pale with fright.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Although Liang Xiao was very anxious, he couldn't show it, and he wanted to comfort Zhao Yingqi instead.This guy is a young master who has never experienced any danger. It is normal for him to get confused when he encounters this situation suddenly. "Big deal, we can still withdraw."

"Oh." Zhao Yingqi breathed a sigh of relief, sat blankly for a while, and then suddenly said another sentence. "Isn't it a pity to withdraw like this?"

Liang Xiao turned his head to look at him for a while, then laughed too. "Then what's your plan? If we send a letter to King Qin, let him help out. Do you think he will rush over?"

Zhao Yingqi thought for a while, and said with a wry smile: "No, he still doesn't expect me to die at the hands of Minyue people?"

Liang Xiao pretended to be surprised. "After all, you are uncles and nephews, so you can't be so cruel?"

"Hey, the Wang family is ruthless. I won the battle and broke his face. How can he not hate me? If I was defeated by Jingping, or died in the battle, he would not have to worry about how to treat my father and the officials. Confess." Zhao Yingqi stroked his chin, eyes wandering around. "Junhou, think of a way, even if it takes a few days."

"Procrastinate?" Liang Xiao raised his brows, "Your Highness is a good planner."

"A good plan?" Zhao Yingqi was taken aback. "What good trick did I say?"

"You said procrastination." Liang Xiao raised his thumb and said solemnly: "It is also a tactic to respond to all changes with the same. Jingping needs time, and we also need time. Let's compare and see who can procrastinate. "

Zhao Yingqi looked bewildered, and still didn't understand what Liang Xiao meant.

Liang Xiao explained.Jing Ping had an advantage in troops, but he didn't attack immediately, which showed that he didn't know what to do.Taking advantage of Jing Ping's hesitation, they can make some countermeasures.On the one hand, send someone to send a letter to Qin Wang Zhao Guang.Whether he comes or not, this letter will be delivered, maybe he has come?On the other hand, they are also ready to retreat.If it doesn't work, set a fire and run away after burning the luggage, which will also make Jing Zhao feel uncomfortable.

How long can he last without the luggage?He had no choice but to retreat.In this way, they didn't run in vain this time.

Zhao Yingqi suddenly realized, feeling relieved. "Junhou, you are the demeanor of a general, so don't be surprised by changes."

Liang Xiao said with a smile: "Your Highness, I was inspired by you. If it is about merit, you are the first to advocate it."

Zhao Yingqi rubbed his nose and smiled embarrassedly.
