Zhang Chao broke through with the iron cavalry and left. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Egret did not continue the pursuit, of course, it was not that he didn't want to, but with the current Fengwu cavalry, it was not enough to pursue the iron cavalry.

Before leaving, Zhang Chao hit the javelin, and directly let the Fengwu cavalry chase out of the team of people and horses did not survive, more than 500 people did not listen to the command of the egret in time to stop, still chased out, under the javelin attack, only less than 120 people survived, and everyone was wounded.

If it weren't for the timely reaction of the egret, if the whole army was chasing just now, I'm afraid that now the Fengwu cavalry would have to go back to rest and recuperate, and they would no longer be able to fight.

"How about the battle damage?" "How about the battle damage?" The egret returned to the army headquarters and asked the little prince Xia Qiu, the egret on the side of the king of Zhennan did not dare to go, although the king of Zhennan would not do anything to the egret on the face, but the egret pit the other party so much in the royal capital, and even the current situation of the invasion of the Chu State is still betrayed by the egret behind his back, if the king of Zhennan knows, I am afraid that the army will slaughter the egret now.

"Of the 7,000 elite soldiers who resisted head-on, more than 2,000 died. Xia Qiu said with an extremely ugly face, "If you hadn't arrived in time, the garrison would have been wiped out." Even on the side of the heavy infantry, no less than eight hundred died. ”

The Iron Cavalry was terrifying.

Egret and Xia Qiu were silent, and a cavalry appeared on the battlefield, even if there were only three thousand people, it was enough to influence a battle.

"Li Hai really deserves to be a famous general of the Chu State. The egret sighed, "The iron cavalry that has the courage to transfer the Chu State is still a full three thousand. It seems that he not only wants to take the Zhennan Pass, but even has a covetous heart for the Xia land. ”

"For so many years, the Chu State has not entered my Xia Kingdom by half a step, and this time it suddenly took the land of the Seven Counties, this is a rare opportunity for them. Although the loss of these seven counties is really a bit strange. "Xia Qiu is not an idiot, how could it be so coincidental that when he was competing for the position of the lord of the country for his father in the royal capital, there was a sudden invasion of Chu in Zhennan. Whether it's the timing or the incident itself, it's all on the side of the princess regent, and then contact the person who is now the princess regent, so it is impossible for Xia Qiu not to suspect the egret.

But Xia Qiu is also smart, and this can only be said at the right time. Without the support of the royal capital's troops at this moment, Xia Qiu and even the king of Zhennan would definitely not be able to hold the land of Zhennan, and now he has lost nearly ten counties. If there are no reinforcements, it is only a matter of time before the other side breaks through Zhennan Pass, and then it will be a flat and occupy the entire Zhennan area.

In this way, even if he and his father are still alive, they are just exiled princes. When the time comes, not to mention fighting for the country, he has already become a lost dog.

If you want to defend Zhennan, you must rely on the strength of the royal capital, and at the same time, the power of the Fire Phoenix Army. And the representative of these two parties is naturally the white egret. Right now, even if he knew that the egret was the culprit of all this, Xia Qiu couldn't do anything to the egret, and even when he explained the situation to his father, Xia Qiu hid a lot.

He is smart enough to naturally know when to bow his head and when to be firm.

This naturally made the egret a little embarrassed, although the other party's words did not reveal the bottom, but it was also very vague to express that the other party knew what the egret did, which was faintly expressing dissatisfaction.

Although there is only success or failure in the fight for the country, there is no victory or defeat. But the soldiers and people of the Xia Kingdom who died because of this were real, and if it wasn't for the helplessness, the egret wouldn't want to make such a move.

Be fast and effective. If we do not sell our interests, how can we mobilize our forces? How can we unify and control military power as soon as possible?

The egret can only choose to sacrifice the south side of the town, which is better than the future stalemate and the situation of continuous interruption.

"At the moment, it can be seen that the Feng Wu cavalry is not the opponent of the iron cavalry, in the case of the main force of Zhennan, the Feng Wu cavalry only left the opponent less than three hundred people, if the frontal battle is close to the fight, I am afraid that it will be defeated by the other party in a moment. Bai Lu took a deep breath, "The strong army of the Xia State is still too weak, compared to the Chu State, whether it is our country or the Han State, there is a lack of high-end elite troops. Now, whether it is infantry or cavalry, there is still a big gap between it and the strongest troops of the other side. ”

How could Xia Qiu not know this, and nodded approvingly, "To form a strong army, not only financial support is needed, but also the training of personnel, especially the selection and teaching of exercises. Speaking of which, the hundred-sword battle array and the heavily armed knight legion that existed during the founding of the country have now dispersed. I don't know why the lord of the country wanted to dismiss these elite soldiers and strong generals in the first place. ”

Fear of threatening the rule, of course. Bai Lu secretly thought in his heart that the strong army on the side of the Chu State was a national force, but not on the Xia side, the Hundred Swords Battle Array and the heavily armed knights were the private forces of the clans, and they were also afraid that these clans would threaten the rule of the country with their private armies.

"But it's too early to say this, and there will always be a strong army formation in the future. After all, it is now an eventful season, and the Han State has also been actively preparing for war over the years, and the Chu State has not stopped. Presumably, this kind of military competition will not last long, and a major war between the three countries will arise because of the excessive burden. At that time, it will be another battle in which the people will not be able to make a living. Bai Lu sighed, "If you want to survive such a war, you, me, and every class and everyone in the Xia Kingdom need to cooperate sincerely and work together to strengthen the construction of the army and even the basic economy." Little prince, you are a smart person who knows how to judge the situation. Xia Guo can't withstand turmoil and internal strife, maybe you are still dissatisfied with my approach, but in the future, you will always know that this is the best choice at the moment. ”

These words were not so easy to convince Xia Qiu, but the sincerity and emotion between the words made Xia Qiu remember it in his heart, he took a deep look at the egret and was silent.

Qin Yu came over at this time, looking curious.

"What are you talking about quietly? Egret, I've already arranged for someone to follow, what kind of spell of yours can still keep up with the pace of the Iron Cavalry?"

"This distance is already too far, whether it is to the southwest or southeast, it is beyond the scope of action. Egret shook his head, "But don't worry, Xue Yan is moving faster than us, I asked her to arrange manpower as well, the Iron Cavalry has already appeared just now, and now the commander of Xue Yan must have asked the Dark Guard to follow." It doesn't matter which professionals are there to keep an eye on, and whether we have scouts to bite us or not. The fox's tail is exposed once, and it is impossible to retract it again. ”
