Chapter 331: The First Battle
"Take the young general back to heal his wounds, whether we can succeed or not depends on him in the end. Liu Che sighed, looked at Su Lin who was squatting next to Su Jie'er's corpse, and said to the guards beside him.
"Major General Su, please also mourn, there is a wrong, there is a debtor, the top priority now is to put Miss Su Jie'er into the ground first, and at the same time take care of her injuries, and go to General Su Lie to discuss the way. Liu Che walked to Su Lin's side, patted him on the back and said.
At the same time, Shanhaiguan.
Shanhaiguan is a huge city tower, sandwiched between two steep cliffs, at this moment, whether above the city tower, or outside Shanhaiguan, there are corpses, countless rockets, gunsmoke everywhere.
On the edge of the tower, a large number of ladders were all burned by the fire at this moment.
Wan Gu was dressed in white and expressionless, standing at the entrance of the city tower, overlooking the large number of Tang soldiers who were withdrawing below.
Behind Wan Gu stood Liu Qinghe.
"Hey, it's so dangerous, fortunately, the sect master came to Shanhaiguan today, this Su Lie really used soldiers like a god, their vanguard came faster than expected, and they were all elite soldiers, if it wasn't for the sect master's pre-arrangement, in case they raided, Shanhaiguan would have been almost broken!" Liu Qinghe said with a palpitating face.
Wan Gu nodded: "Su Lie is a famous general, he uses soldiers like a god, and he is like a god of war in the Tang Kingdom, and now he feels that the Han Kingdom has taken certain measures, and he is worried that the night will be long and dreamy, and he will inevitably use a quick battle, wanting to take the opportunity to sneak attack and annihilate in one fell swoop." Fortunately, you have planted a secret sentry before, prepared fire oil, and burned their ladder with fire oil as soon as they came up, otherwise, it is unimaginable, unimaginable, it is really a tiger and wolf soldier, as long as one climbs up, it can be worth our five small soldiers, this, this ............!"
When I saw those elite soldiers, even the eternal times were also amazed, what is called well-trained, elite soldiers, and fierce generals, which can completely describe the army led by Su Lie!
Outside Shanhaiguan.
In a big camp and a tent.
A burly man of about forty years old, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand at the moment, looked carefully at a huge sand table.
On the sand table, all the terrain outside Shanhaiguan is described in detail.
There was a group of guards standing next to him, quietly, and no one dared to disturb the burly man holding a teacup.
The man's face was resolute, and there was an indescribable heroic spirit between his eyebrows, which made people look at it and feel refreshed.
After taking a sip of tea to refresh himself, he gestured with his hand on the sand table.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a majestic man covered in blood rushed into the big tent.
"Poof!"
The majestic man knelt on the ground, a look of guilt.
The burly man holding the teacup turned his back to him and continued to look at the sand table map.
"Great marshal, Su Wu is incompetent, failed to attack Shanhaiguan, this time the commander of the Han army seems to have changed people, as if he knew in advance that we were going, he had already prepared the oil and kerosene, I waited for heavy casualties, there were 3,000 soldiers, unfortunately died, and 2,000 were seriously injured, his subordinates were incompetent, causing such a big loss, please punish the marshal!"
The handsome man holding the teacup did not turn around, and continued to look at the sand table map.
"Please punish the marshal, his subordinates are incompetent and failed to attack the city tower!" the majestic Su Wu once again kowtowed his head to the ground. The more Su Lie didn't speak, the more frightened Su Wu's heart became.
"You didn't attack the tower, it's normal, if you can attack the tower, it's not normal!"
"Huh?" Su Wu looked at Da Shuai blankly.
Generalissimo Zhengnan, Su Lie!
Although Su Lie looked like a rough man, he was familiar with the art of war, Wen Taowu strategy, at this time he slowly turned around with a teacup in his hand, looked at Su Wu, and said with a slight smile: "I didn't expect you to capture Shanhaiguan at one time! You don't have to blame yourself, the people who defend the city are not something you can fight against!"
"Dashuai, don't you blame me?" Su Wu said in surprise.
Su Wu took a sip of the tea in his hand, nodded and said: "I have already asked people to reconnoiter the terrain around Shanhaiguan, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, I thought that the expedition to the south would be smoother, but after all, it still fell short, Li Yunhe was discovered, Qinghe Sect recovered, and he had already taken action to help the Han State, and then, some of those people had already begun to fight! He was so impeccable in his defense, even the steep mountain pass, he also destroyed the cliff and cut off one of our dangerous roads!"
"But, it's ...... the three thousand brothers of our Su Family's army!" Su Wu said with an ugly face.
"Okay, there is war, naturally there are casualties, this Liu Che is different from everyone we have seen in the past, although he is young, but I heard that both his character and talent are far superior to his father Liu Bang, you must not underestimate him, you must treat him as an extremely powerful opponent, remember, anyone can defeat us! Victory will only be in the hands of careful and calm people in the end!" Su Lie said in a deep voice.
"How is it possible, Dashuai, in the current Tang Kingdom, you have never been defeated!" Su Wu suddenly said in disbelief.
"No one can remain undefeated! My victory is nothing more than every war that has improved my heart a thousand times over!" Su Lie said in a deep voice.
"Ah, is it possible that a fledgling boy, we can't do anything?" Su Wu asked with some puzzlement.
"Yes, it's just a matter of time. No matter how talented and intelligent he Liu Che is, after all, it is the first time to lead troops, and don't forget, Liu Che is benevolent by nature, and it is okay to be a monarch, but to be a general, I am afraid that it is absolutely impossible, because 'Ci is not in charge of soldiers'!" Su Lie said, and put down the teacup in his hand.
"Looking at the appearance of the big handsome, I think there is a way to deal with it, Su Wu must be ready at all times!" Su Wu said.
"Well, you just came back, and you have worked hard, go down first, appease the brothers well, and in a while, I will go and see for myself!" Su Lie said to Su Wu.
"Yes, Su Wu retired!" As he spoke, Su Wu withdrew from the big tent.
"Liu Che, Liu Che, what are you thinking in the mind of this kid? What are you waiting for if you haven't taken the initiative to attack for so long? Do you really think that with the help of the Qinghe Sect, you will be able to dodge? The immortals of the Luoyang Sect have been waiting for the Qinghe Sect to be caught for a long time, I'm afraid your abacus will fail! This time, I want you to know what is the real ginger or the old spicy!"
Su Lie held the edge of the cup in his hand, looked outside the big tent, and muttered in his mouth, his expression thoughtful.
