Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 535 Will
Under the Pomegranate Ridge, Zhao Yingqi slapped his thigh and shouted, "Praise! A champion is a champion, invincible."

Many South Vietnamese knights watched the whole process of Liang Xiao and others breaking the formation, and were stunned by Liang Xiao and others' cavalry shooting, and even excited by the power of cavalry displayed by Liang Xiao and others.Liang Xiao easily defeated four or five hundred Minyue troops with only twenty cavalry, they had more than four hundred cavalry, and they still had a mountainous position to rely on, so what was Yu Shan afraid of?
Hearing Zhao Yingqi's applause, the South Vietnamese knights couldn't help applauding loudly.Zhao Yingqi was even more excited after hearing this, ran to the drummer, grabbed the drum, and beat the drum vigorously to cheer for Liang Xiao.

The thunder of war drums echoed in the valley, like a thunderstorm, which lasted for a long time.

The Fujian and Yue soldiers looked ashen, their morale was depressed, and they were overshadowed.

The morale of the South Vietnamese generals was like a rainbow, full of fighting spirit, and their roars shook the sky.

Under the ridge and under the ridge, there are completely two worlds.The psychological pressure brought by the superior strength of the Minyue Army was swept away, and the South Vietnamese soldiers were full of confidence, and they were full of confidence in defeating Minyue and achieving the final victory.

The Fujian and Yue soldiers were terrified.They were so flustered by Liang Xiao and others, they just ran for their lives, and almost forgot that there were enemies on the Pomegranate Ridge beside them.Hearing the sound of war drums at this moment, he realized that he was not really safe yet.The power of the cavalry is too great, one or twenty cavalry can cause such a situation, if all the Nanyue knights on the mountain are killed, how can there be any possibility of escape?
By coincidence, the Fujian and Yue troops began to flee for their lives.

Liang Xiao rode a white horse, galloping lightly on the hillside.Wherever they went, Minyue soldiers avoided them from afar, just like flowing water avoiding boulders, like wild animals avoiding bears and tigers, like birds avoiding eagles, like bowing their heads, like worshiping, fear and admiration coexist.

Seeing this scene on the mountain, Zhao Yingqi was very envious, and said to the guards around him, "This is what a man should look like."

The guards nodded in unison.At this moment, Liang Xiao is also their idol.Although he had heard many stories about Liang Xiao in the past, and knew that Liang Xiao had traveled across the Western Regions and defeated the Xiongnu, those were stories after all, not as real as what he saw with his own eyes at this moment.

What is the Bravery of the Three Armies?This is.

What is invincible?This is.

It is the wish of every passionate man to be able to learn riding and archery with such a warrior, and to be able to fight on the battlefield with such a warrior.

When Liang Xiao and others returned to the foot of the ridge, the South Vietnamese soldiers swarmed up like stars holding the moon.Zhao Yingqi ran over in person and reached out to hold the reins of the white horse.Liang Xiao hastily bowed to salute. "Your Highness, I dare not be that."

"Dare to be, dare to be." Zhao Yingqi said with a smile: "Firstly, you have boosted morale in today's battle, and we can support us for a while. You have saved my life. Second, to be a king, you have to behave Showing a little demeanor of a virtuous corporal, leading you a horse, is also to make a name for myself."

"Haha, if that's the case, then I'm not going to be polite."

"What is the relationship between you and me, why be polite." Zhao Yingqi waved his hand. "Sit yourself, and I'll lead the horse for you." As he spoke, he led the white horse and walked up the road.Although the white horse is a steed, it is not as good as the Dian horse in climbing. Zhao Yingqi took a zigzag road, making several horizontal bends and winding up the mountain.

Seeing this, the Nanyue soldiers admired Liang Xiao even more.Zhao Yingqi is their prince and the future king of Nanyue.It was a supreme honor for the South Vietnamese soldiers to lead the horse by him, a scene they never dared to dream about, and all of this was now fulfilled by Liang Xiao.

This was earned by Liang Xiao with his extraordinary combat achievements.If you want to enjoy such glory, you must train hard, fight the enemy bravely, destroy the army and kill the general like Liang Xiao, and destroy the dead.

In the air, there was an emotion full of hormones.

Yu Shan returned to the big camp and sat in the big tent.

A middle-aged witch doctor rang a copper bell, sang and danced around the fire, muttering words.

After the witch doctor finished reading the prayer, he picked up a handful of ash and pressed it on Yu Shan's face.The bleeding stopped, and the numb wound gradually regained consciousness.Yu Shan's cheeks twitched twice, and he took a light breath.

This tone has been cold to the bottom of my heart.

The witch doctor was startled, and quickly fell to the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.Yu Shan waved his hand, signaling the witch doctor to go out.He took a bronze mirror and wanted to see his own appearance, but he hesitated while holding the bronze mirror in his hand.He knew that he must be in a mess right now.There was an extra wound on his face, and it was blood and ashes again, so there was no way he could have his usual demeanor.

In fact, from the moment he fell off his horse, the image he had painstakingly created was ruined.The good horse bought for five hundred gold was snatched by Liang Xiao. He stood on the hillside like a stray dog, surrounded by hundreds of warriors, but he did not dare to launch an attack on Liang Xiao, showing a cowardly attitude.

500 people were defeated by Liang Xiao's twenty cavalry, and they were defeated. Is it because I am too incompetent, or is Liang Xiao good at fighting, and the power of the cavalry is too strong?

Yu Shan put down the bronze mirror and gently covered the wound on his face.Thinking of the cavalry, his face twitched involuntarily.

This is the first time in his life that he has seen cavalry battle with his own eyes, but it is not the first time he has heard of it.

Except for the one time outside Kuaiji City, he heard Liu Ju, Jing Zhao and other Wu people talk about the old things many times.Liu Ju often lamented two things in front of him: one was that he did not listen to Huan Yuan's strategy, and the other was that Wu State did not have real cavalry.He didn't listen to Huan Yuan's strategy, so Wu Jun failed to cross Chenggao until his death; without real cavalry, Wu Jun was passively beaten, repeatedly injured, and finally chased to nowhere, and the late king Liu Bi was defeated.

In Yu Shan's heart, he had long longed for the fighting power of the cavalry, which is why he spared no expense to buy horses from the Central Plains, and bought two horses from the Western Regions at a sky-high price of thousands of dollars.It has always been his dream to own a cavalry, even if it is only a 50-person guard cavalry.

With a casual blow, Liang Xiao took away his Maxima and destroyed his personal guard cavalry, but his desire to own cavalry did not die, but became even more enthusiastic.

Liang Xiao's victory was the best embodiment of the combat effectiveness of the cavalry.Liang Xiao can defeat 500 of my men with only [-] cavalry. If I have more than [-] cavalry, who else in Minyue can be my opponent?

Yu Shan's mood was very complicated, he couldn't tell whether it was joy or depression.

Footsteps sounded, and Jing Ping walked in, bowing and saluting.Yu Shan withdrew his thoughts, pressed the uneasiness in his heart, and asked, "How is your father's injury?"

Jing Ping sighed. "Life is safe, but I'm afraid he won't be able to get up in the short term. Prime Minister, I want to send him back to recuperate."

Yu Shan hesitated to speak, his face showed difficulty.Although Jing Zhao is not a famous general, he is someone he can trust.Liu Ju descended to the Han to become Louhou, and Jing Zhao did not leave Minyue like other Wu people, but instead joined him, giving him an extra right-hand man.He thinks highly of Jing Zhao, and Jing Zhao is also loyal to him.If it wasn't for Jing Zhao today, he might have died under Liang Xiao's arrow, but Jing Zhao was seriously injured because of it.

If Jing Zhao leaves, what will happen to the war here?He is the Prime Minister of the country, but he has no experience in personally commanding battles, especially battles involving tens of thousands of people.This is not a battle of hundreds or thousands of people, which can be commanded by any individual.Tens of thousands of people are involved in too many things, unless you have considerable experience, it is difficult to schedule properly.

Yu Shan thought for a while, and then said ambiguously, "What about your father's opinion?"

Jing Ping lowered his head, thought for a while, and said: "Minister Guo, we roughly estimated that if Liang Xiao really only had 500 people, the grain and grass he transported these days would be enough for him to use for more than half a year. It is absolutely impossible to besiege Shiliu Ridge for half a year." Best policy."

Yu Shan frowned, but said nothing.

Jing Ping's face turned hot.The reason Liang Xiao was able to have so much luggage was because he was so timid that Liang Xiao put all his manpower and material resources into transporting the luggage.If he had been more courageous at the time, even if he went out to harass him, Liang Xiao wouldn't have been so relaxed.

"If the Prime Minister is unwilling to let it go, there is another way."

"any solution?"

"Strong attack." Jing Ping took a breath and let it out slowly. "Attack the mountains at all costs. Although the cavalry has a strong impact, they can't play much role in positional warfare. Our army has a clear advantage in strength. If we attack forcefully, there may be a chance of survival. However, casualties may be relatively large."

Yu Shan closed his mouth again.He understood what Jing Zhao meant.Siege is not an option, Liang Xiao has enough luggage, not afraid of dragging.But he can't, the [-]-strong army's luggage is a heavy burden, and he can't be here all the time, wars may happen on the western and northern fronts at any time, and the support of this main force is needed.

There were only two paths before him: either take the initiative to retreat and surrender Zhangpu to Nanyue; or attack at all costs, trying to win Shiliuling in a short time, capture Liang Xiao and Zhao Yingqi, and seize the initiative.

It is said that there are two roads, but in fact there is only one road.If he withdraws voluntarily, he is probably the prime minister of the country.In the war he initiated, he failed to gain an inch of land, but instead lost Zhangpu, allowing the forces of South Vietnam to invade the territory of Fujian and Vietnam, and was surrounded by the three-way army.How did he face those opposing voices, how did he face the reprimand of King Minyue?

Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

"How many people do you think your father will lose?"

Jing Ping looked at Yu Shan, stretched out a hand hesitantly, and shook it in front of Yu Shan.Yu Shan's face hurt, and he twitched the muscles at the corners of his eyes, so he couldn't see very clearly.He glanced at Jingping. "How much? Five thousand?"

"If it goes well...five thousand, if it doesn't go well, maybe another five thousand."

Yu Shan sucked in a breath of cold air, and then there was a sharp pain in his cheek.He quickly covered his face and gritted his teeth tightly to prevent himself from swearing.Just for Liang Xiao and Zhao Yingqi, maybe 1 people need to be lost?This loss is too great.A loss of more than [-]% is a miserable victory, and a little carelessness may lead to the collapse of the entire army.

"let me think again."

"Here." Jing Ping gave a deep salute, and retreated quietly.

Yu Shan covered his face, but it wasn't his face that hurt, but his toothache and heartache. The loss of 1 people was too great for him to accept for a while.However, he had a lot of trust in Jing Zhao's vision.Jing Zhao is a cautious person, so this estimation should not be too outrageous.Even if 5000 people are not needed, [-] people are inevitable.

Jing Zhao gave his suggestion, and now it's up to him how to choose.

-

On Shiliu Ridge, there was joy, Zhao Yingqi and other South Vietnamese soldiers surrounded Liang Xiao and the others, talking and laughing, the atmosphere was relaxed.

The white horse named Xinyue by Liang Xiao also became a star that attracted much attention.The South Vietnamese soldiers were used to seeing short Dian horses, but they had never seen such tall and magnificent war horses.When Yu Shan appeared on the crescent moon, they felt that this horse was different. Now that the horse was in front of them, they could appreciate it up close. It is as smooth as silk, which is hard to put down.

Many little knights came over, hoping to touch this horse from the Western Regions with their own hands, with longing and envy in their eyes.

Zhao Yingqi and Liang Xiao knew each other well, and knew that Liang Xiao's concubine Hu was named Moon, and that there was once a white horse that died in battle when Liang Xiao was on an envoy to the Western Regions.Liang Xiao named the horse Xinyue, so naturally he wanted to give it to Concubine Hu Yue.Although he wanted it, he was too embarrassed to ask for it.

You can't ask for it, you can only take advantage of the fact that this horse is still Liang Xiao's, and get closer to him.

As the night fell, Liang Xiao, Zhao Yingqi and the others stood on the mountain ridge, and there was a vast expanse in front of them. The camps of the Minyue Army were all over the valley, and the little bonfires looked like stars.Zhao Yingqi was in a relaxed mood with a smile on his face.

"Junhou, this battle should break Yu Shan's guts, right? Jing Zhao seems to be injured. I wonder if he will die?"

"It is indeed necessary to guard against." Liang Xiao put his hands behind his back, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "Jing Zhao is cautious, but has rich experience. If he is in charge of military affairs, there will not be too many accidents in this battle. If he Dead, with Jing Ping's qualifications, I'm afraid it's not enough to balance Yu Shan, what kind of tricks Yu Shan will make, we can't imagine, we can only plan for the worst."

"Worst plan?" Zhao Yingqi was a little surprised. "What other plans do you have?"

Liang Xiao smacked his lips, looked around, and then took two steps forward calmly.Zhao Yingqi understood and followed.

Liang Xiao said softly: "Don't forget, Yu Shan has 3 people, even if the ratio of casualties is ten to one, he can afford it. We are different. These knights have not gone through a real bloody battle. Once the casualties exceed two If it succeeds, morale will inevitably be frustrated. If more than half of the casualties are exceeded, our troops will not be strong enough to defend the mountains, and we may be defeated. Therefore, if Yu Shan is ruthless and wants to exchange two or 3000 people for your and my heads, it will be a bit troublesome."

Zhao Yingqi blinked, speechless for a while.He thought for a long time, and then asked: "Then what should we do?" He paused, and then said: "I think the Lord will definitely find a way."

Liang Xiao laughed silently.Zhao Yingqi was indeed a young child, whether it was joy or sorrow, he couldn't hide it, his mood fluctuated too much.

"Your Highness, the three armies can win a commander, but a man cannot lose his will. If you want to defend the mountains and defeat Yu Shan, your will is the real key. Do you want to become a famous general who wins more with less and dominate the world, or a coward who retreats before the battle? For Lu Xiangxiao, it all depends on your choice. You and Yu Shan, one or the other will fall on this pomegranate ridge. When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins. Your Highness, are you ready?"
