Chapter 65, The Great Army Recuperates
After the army rested for three days, Zu Zhao proposed to fight the vanguard, his amazing move shocked everyone, the boss played the vanguard, this is okay, you must know that the vanguard is facing an unknown death, all kinds of conspiracies and traps, if the boss has a three good and two evil, how can this be done.
However, Zu Zhao ignored everyone's opposition and wanted to fight the vanguard by himself, and he brought his own elite armor guards, so that he would not have any major incidents. Everyone couldn't talk about him, so they could only comply, but Zhang Yuan, Zhao Meng and others asked to be deputy generals to go with them, but Zu Zhao refused.
In fact, the purpose of his doing this, only Su De alone knows, because he did this, in order to understand for the first time what kind of enemy our army encountered in the face-to-face frontal war, and to come up with a strategy to resist the enemy, the reason why he didn't want Zhang Yuan, Zhao Meng and other fierce generals to follow, was afraid that the dream would be verified, so that the general would be damaged, although it was not said that he would be scattered, but the general was seriously injured in the first battle, and he would definitely give the enemy a kind of momentum oppression, so Zu Zhao wanted to go against the sky, but he didn't take the general. Since he couldn't die, he wasn't too afraid.
Wen Zhizu Zhao played this pioneer position, Quan Zhiyu naturally disagreed, and made a fuss not to let Zu Zhao go, but the other generals couldn't persuade Zu Zhao, how could she persuade it. In the end, seeing that he couldn't persuade Zu Zhao, Quan Zhiyu clamored to follow, Zu Zhao was helpless, and directly ordered Quan Zhiyu to be taken down, not to let her mess around.
In fact, after getting along for so long, he already has some subtle feelings for Quan Zhiyu, when he saw her for the first time, in addition to the kingly demeanor revealed in her eyes, she was not outstanding, especially compared to Feng Luoxue and Cai Wenji, she was not at the same level at all. But after getting along, he found that Quan Zhiyu and Cai Wenji and Feng Luoxue were different.
Feng Luoxue belongs to the kind of elegant female type, Cai Wenji belongs to the kind of elegant lady type, and this Quan Zhiyu is a cute type, or she is not a cute person, she is completely the type that stays to the natural and natural cuteness, this is to go big and not to play, he naturally will not let Quan Zhiyu mess around, if she has something three long and two short, how can this be good.
Everything was arranged, Zu Zhao himself led the vanguard troops to open the road in front, and there was a team before him, which was a professional road repair team, although it was still very rugged and difficult to walk, but Zu Zhao could see that this was already the vanguard road repair force doing its best to repair it.
After crossing the dangerous mountain peaks and cliffs, and finally arrived at the first fortress of Silla Kyoto, the front guard is a large city gate built by the mountain, known as the dust of Kyoto guards, the city wall is as high as more than 50 meters, the general siege equipment is not so high at all, and the city gate is interlocking with the inside and outside, because the city wall is too thick, so there are all kinds of dark boxes for shooters to be stationed inside, if you want to attack here, it is really difficult, unless you pay the price of blood.
The reason why Silla spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to build this first fort in Kyoto was to prevent the attack of the Central Plains Dynasty. Zu Zhao had already heard of the Kyoto guards here, and when he saw it at this moment, he was also surprised, and he only sighed in his heart that Nima This is a city defense that only exists in science fiction movies, and the soldiers and horses he brings now, how to fight with them, there is no desire to attack at all, and he can only discuss it after the arrival of the follow-up army. However, if they dared to go out of the city and take the initiative to attack, then they were not too afraid.
But they took the initiative, and with a series of strange noises at the city gate, a group of men rushed out, dressed in fancy clothes, and their faces were painted with something like rape. Zu Zhao couldn't help but laugh in his heart, how could this northern tribe make himself look like a southern barbarian, or maybe he was short-sighted and didn't know the people here.
I saw a large group of opponents slowly walking out of the city gate, and there was a covered caravan in the middle, on which sat a shirtless man, although Zu Zhao couldn't see his appearance clearly, but he had already felt a kind of anger from him.
What puzzled Zu Zhao the most was that as they approached, his cavalry war horses actually had a feeling of panic, and as they approached, the more panicked the war horses became, and many cavalry were completely unable to control their mounts.
This is a well-trained war horse, and when facing a larger enemy in the past, there has never been such a situation, how can there be such a reaction now, Zu Zhao said that he couldn't understand it, and the mount under him also neighed, and the four hooves kept moving around.
"General, what's the matter, the mount seems to be frightened." A lieutenant general couldn't control his mount a little, so he could only look at Zu Zhao.
Zu Zhao looked at the enemy team and said quietly, "I think there is something in their team that our war horses are afraid of, such as some fierce beasts like leopards and tigers. As he said this, all the people looked at the front, and they seemed to faintly hear the whistling of the beast.
At this moment, the Silla army slowly dispersed and followed behind them, it was really a group of wild beasts, there were leopards and tigers, and more steppe wolves, although they looked a little like dogs, but Zu Zhao knew that it was the steppe wolves, which were very fierce wolves, and the wolves were very particular about the group, and even the lions couldn't help them.
"Hell, do they know how to control beasts?" Zu Zhao was shocked, and the mount couldn't help jumping violently, wanting to run backwards, but Zu Zhao desperately pulled the reins, and only then did he control his sigh a little. However, the mounts of the other cavalry had long been out of control, and several of them had been directly overturned under the horses.
"The rear army is the front army, and the front army is the rear army, and slowly retreat." Due to the panic of the lease period, Zu Zhao could only order the withdrawal of the army, and he led the cavalry troops, if the mount was panicked, then the advantage of the cavalry would not be experienced at all.
After getting Zu Zhao's order, the army turned its horse head and began to retreat, and at this moment, the other party had an incomprehensible gurgling sound, and suddenly heard a roar like a mountain and a sea, followed by a sound of a divine beast galloping. When Zu Zhaojun's mount heard this sound, he immediately panicked, without any plastic surgery, and fled in all directions, and nine out of ten of the cavalry fell to the ground, and some were dragged by the war horses and screamed again and again.
Zu Zhao was also surprised when he saw the fierce beasts coming behind, and immediately ordered all his elite guards to dismount and block behind to protect the retreat of the front army. The elite armor troops can be said to be armed to the teeth, they can play guns immediately, they can dance sticks on the ground, they can shoot arrows from afar, and they can fight knives at close range, they are a sophisticated all-round guard army, and Zu Zhao specially trained them to protect themselves, so as not to be attacked by fierce generals like Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others, and I don't know how to die when the time comes.
After his guards received Zu Zhao's order, they dismounted one after another and pulled out to fight to the death with the beast army. As soon as they dismounted, their mounts fled with a roar. And no matter how well-trained Zu Zhaojun was, now because his mount was frightened and the beast was approaching, he was all panicked.
"Archery." Zu Zhao saw that the beasts had rushed to the position where the arrows could be shot, and ordered to shoot the arrows, but those beasts had no intention of falling after being hit by the arrows, but some of them were directly hit by four or five arrows before they fell to the ground, but one fell down, and immediately bought time for the dozens of heads behind, and in seconds, they had already rushed into the camp of Zu Zhao's elite armor troops. The elite armor guards protected Zu Zhao, but the attack and defense were orderly, and they fought and retreated, and nothing major happened. The rest of the cavalry units were terrible, the soldiers trampled each other and those who fell to the ground were either trampled to death, or they were directly torn to pieces by the beasts, and the screams were incessant, resounding in the sky, and the scene was even more daring to look at directly, the flesh and blood were blurred, and the words such as thrilling were not enough to describe that kind of tragic scene.
Seeing that the cavalry force of 2,000 people was about to be wiped out, Zu Zhao was also very uncomfortable in his heart, he commanded his own escort army, slashing and killing, but there were too many fierce beasts, as the number of injured people in the guard troops increased, the lineup was gradually disrupted, and finally the same formation directly became their own battle, but unfortunately no matter how good the equipment of the elite armored troops was, they still couldn't resist the bite of the fierce beasts, the formation was disrupted, and in an instant, more than a dozen people were killed in the mouth of the beasts, and the rest of the dozens of people were still around Zu Zhao. Protected him and slowly retreated.
The leader of Silla, who commanded the beasts, seemed to see that Zu Zhao was an important person, and suddenly there was a whistle and flute, and those fierce beasts that were still chasing the soldiers everywhere actually surrounded Zu Zhao and the elite armor troops. Looking at the beast's dream momentum like a rainbow, and there was minced meat and blood in his mouth, Zu Zhao couldn't help but panic a little in his heart, is he going to die here, that Su De's dream is really frightening, in the first battle of this head-to-head confrontation, he lost a lot of cavalry troops, and his own elite armor troops also suffered heavy casualties, and looking at this formation, I am afraid that my own life will be explained here.
But he couldn't just give up, he commanded the remaining elite soldiers to form a conical formation and slowly retreated. The beasts pounced on them, and the soldiers responded to kill them, but even so, their situation became more and more dangerous, not to mention dealing with the beasts, and the Silla army also launched an attack in chariots.
The chariot was equipped with a fierce beast, and Zu Zhao knew that his plastic surgery really couldn't prevent it.
"My life is at stake!"
