On the fifth day of August, Jiajing Pass.

The wind hunts and blows the flag. The two teams of black pressed people lined up neatly. The two armies confronted each other, and the sabre rattling. With the sound of war drums, the sound of killing, the friction of swords, the banner covering the sun, and the blood splashing.

A chaotic battle began.

Jin Ge Iron Horse, success or failure in this move.

Su Qingyao knew that he could not be defeated, and he must do his best in this battle, even if he died.

However, in the face of such a powerful enemy, his own strength seems too weak, and he hits a stone with an egg, but that's it.

Even though he has fought a lot of battles, but they are just to pacify the civil strife of the princes and the like, they are all small fights, such a huge scene is the first time to face, coupled with young and vigorous, he is inevitably a little frightened, he is not afraid of death, on the battlefield, regardless of life and death, only talk about winning or losing, and he can't afford to lose.

With the wind whistling and killing in his ears, he watched the soldiers fall one by one, and his heart ached, and blood gushed out.

The Yin army spread out in a cone-shaped formation, which should have pierced the enemy's abdomen like a sharp sword, but this sharp sword seemed to pierce into a pool of soft water, but it only set off a few ripples, and it soon calmed down.

The formation of the Yan army spread out in the shape of a vortex, and before he could react, the whirlpool quickly gathered, and it didn't take long for them to surround them to death.

By the time Su Qingyao reacted, the surroundings were already full of enemy troops, and he was already panting like a cow, his eyes were red.

Now it's not a retreat, it's not an attack, the formation of the Yan army is always not chaotic, but if one is killed, there must be another to replace it, and so on and so forth.

Su Qingyao finally killed Russell and asked him what to do, but there was a way to break the enemy, but Russell had nothing to do. The opponent's formation is complex, changing so fast, it is dazzling to see, and it is impossible to find a flaw for a while.

Su Qingyao immediately ordered, united the soldiers together, struggled to break through, and finally fought desperately to fight a bloody way, disrupting the opponent's formation, only to be able to breathe a sigh of relief, Fang Yi raised his head, and accidentally caught a glimpse of a chariot in the opponent's team not far away, there was a man in white, standing in the wind, high-spirited, and independent.

He had one hand behind him, his clothes were fluttering, and his hairband was flying, even though he was far away and couldn't see his face clearly, Su Qingyao still felt that his temperament was dusty and extraordinary. He is condescending, as if the entire battlefield is his chess game, vertical and horizontal, and the world.

It was at this moment of distraction that a sword light suddenly came, but fortunately, Russell waved his sword to open for him and asked him, "What is the prince thinking?" ”

Su Qingyao came back to his senses and asked, "Who is he?" ”

Russell followed his gaze and also saw Yu Sheng. Answer: "I heard that Princess Yue sent an army division into the camp, it should be him, Yu Sheng, the son of the former prince Taifu Yu Xin." ”

Yu Xin's name is known all over the world, and he was on the same level as Shen Ji more than ten years ago. However, after the Wu Clan's incident, the two of them went into seclusion and did not ask about the world, and their reputation gradually became smaller.

Russell said: "The tiger father has no dog, this person, be careful." Today's vortex array is probably his handiwork. ”

Su Qingyao asked, "Does the general have a way to break the enemy?" Although we broke up the formation, we couldn't hold out for long, and we had to think of a perfect plan. ”

Russell said, "No matter how perfect the formation is, there are flaws, if you can fight with them in a roundabout way and delay some time, you can find a way." However, we suffered heavy casualties, and the number of people was not as good as that of the other side, and it was not easy to hold on for these three hours. What's more, the deeper the vortex array, the more dangerous it becomes, and we must not go any further. For the sake of today's plan, I am afraid that I will abandon the pawn and protect the horse. ”

Su Qingyao regretted, "I have a negative brother's trust!" ”

The situation is getting more and more tense nowadays, the enemy is pressing forward step by step, and the number of casualties is increasing, and it cannot be delayed any longer!

Su Qingyao followed Russell's words, no longer penetrated into the enemy's abdomen, and ordered everyone to turn their horses' heads and attack back.

When the wind gusted, the dark clouds gradually became dense, and a light rain fell one after another, hitting the face, and it was cold.

The Yin army forcibly broke through with a shield formation and fought bloodily, but fortunately, the Yan army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and they were able to escape in a hurry, but when they escaped, more than half of the casualties were already lost.

This first battle was originally a temptation, and the troops sent by both sides were not much, 30,000 each, but when Su Qingyao escaped with his troops, there were less than 10,000 left, and the defeat was tragic. On Dongyan's side, the loss is less than a quarter, which shows the huge disparity between the two sides.

On the other hand, the atmosphere in the court today is extremely weird, there is nothing to do in the court, everyone is waiting for a news, the border war!

You can go from Jiajing Pass to Wangcheng, even if you are quick and fast, 800 miles are urgent, it will take a day.

After the early dynasty, hundreds of officials gathered in the council hall. Looking at the crown prince Su Qingluo, who looked calm on the high seat, everyone had palpitations, looked at each other, no one dared to speak, the room was silent for a while, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing. Everyone is now empty and their mouths are dry, but no one dares to complain, after all, Su Qingluo is the same. He didn't sleep all night last night, and now he waits without eating or drinking, who dares to say no.

Although no one dared to say it, everyone knew that this battle would be lost, and no matter who led the troops on the other side, the situation was already doomed.

When it was getting dusk, at last a soldier came on horseback, and fell in front of the palace gate, and the guards took the letter and hurriedly sent it into the palace.

Su Qingluo, who had been silent, heard the battle report coming, and finally moved his eyebrows, Huo Ran opened his eyes and asked, "How is it?" His hands were on the armrests, but now his fingers were curled inward, almost into the wood.

The little guy who knelt down and held the letter trembled and replied, "Defeat...... Defeated......"

Su Qingluo clenched his fists, let go again, put away his anger, and asked, "How about the casualties?" ”

The soldier who delivered the letter fell outside the palace gate, and was being sent to the Tai Hospital for rescue, but the little guy hurriedly took the letter before running into the palace, and he didn't ask about the inside story at all, and he couldn't answer.

Su Qingqian took the letter, waved his hand to signal him to retreat, glanced at the letter, and said to Su Qingluo, "More than half." ”

Su Qingluo seemed to be extremely distressed, pressed his forehead, and asked again: "Is King Sheng good?" ”

"The second brother is fine, but he was slightly injured," Su Qingqian paused, "The second brother mentioned in the letter that the heavy casualties this time were due to a person in the enemy camp who used treacherous troops. ”

"Who?"

"Yu Sheng, the son of Yu Xin, the former prince of Dongyan. It is said that it was invited by the Moon Princess. ”

Su Qingluo finally couldn't sit still, snatched the letter and read it, and then said: "Also, Shen Ji is out of the mountain, how can Yu Xin not move?" He added: "The Moon Princess is really a good means, people don't know where they are, but they can win thousands of miles away." ”

Su Qingqian asked: "What should I do now, the first battle has been lost, and now people's hearts are unstable......"

"The second brother's letter mentioned the 'vortex' array, which I have never seen before, and I have to study the countermeasures carefully."

The officials knew that they couldn't rest well tonight.

Su Qingluo said again: "Yu Sheng, this person, you must be on guard, tell the second brother to be careful, you can't be anxious at this time, and appease the soldiers first." To find out Yu Sheng, you must not be sloppy, knowing yourself and knowing your opponent is the way to win. ”
