Chapter 560: The Dragon Flag Rises on the Plateau

Tianfeng Ridge is located at the highest point of the southern branch of the entire Daisetsuza Mountain, which is the fastest shortcut to the western Satsuma Plateau, and it is also the most difficult section of the road.

The mountains are steep, altitude sickness, and the wind is biting at night, and it is difficult for people who are not physically strong to survive until the sun rises the next morning.

Luckily, it's autumn and the weather is pleasant during the day, and the southern part of the mountain range is full of vegetation and plenty of prey.

Occasionally, in the village of Satsuma, a hundred miles to the west, hunters would come to build huts in the woods and hunt for the rest of the village, and when winter came, they would return with their booty.

When the Mongol cavalry came over the mountains, the hunters in the mountains directly became the prey, no matter how powerful they were in the mountains, they encountered a large number of cavalry groups, even if the other party could not ride horses here, only with their legs, and superb archery skills, they also slaughtered the Satsuma hunters in this mountain.

Most of the prey they hoarded was also looted by the Mongol light cavalry and used as dry food.

The cavalry carrying the holy will carried the banner and galloped along the way.

……

In other words, the city of Hasai will face an army of more than 300,000?!

"300,000 ......"

If there are war horses, let the horses go to the vicinity on their own.

Soon, Zhuge Liang was pushed over by his own soldiers in a two-wheeled vehicle.

The two Dao figures in the front quickly exchanged words, and one of them grabbed his bow and arrow, and the moment he jumped off the rock, the arrow flew out with a whizz.

Zhuge Liang specially patted the handrail of the two-wheeled car, and then asked his own soldiers to push him away.

"Since the prime minister thinks it's okay, then I won't force the prime minister to go down the mountain first." Su Chen patted the dirt off his hands and stood up from the side of the two-wheeler.

He only mentioned the steppe cavalry, not a word about Mongolia, as a native of the Ming Dynasty, he had a deep hatred for Mongolia.

There was only one lonely city left, and in the face of the seemingly endless cavalry hordes, he could only close the gates and strengthen the city walls.

At the same time.

"Ahead is the first city of the Western Expedition, Hasai of the Satsuma people, after breaking the city, my sons can let go and loot!"

"Your Majesty, that speedy platform, bloody means, there are still so many soldiers and horses under his command, you need to be careful."

The hut had been completely torn down, and everything inside had been taken away by the 'beggars' on horseback, and not a single hair had been left for him.

Later, he was conscripted into the army, and after half a year of training, in addition to the ability to fight on the battlefield, he was even more flat in the mountains.

The Satsuma hunter, who had been hungry for several days, carefully crawled out of the narrow cave, dragged his weak, tired body, and staggered back to the hut he had once built.

The hunter was about fifty years old, dressed in a tattered leather jacket, with deep-set eyes, a high nose, and a slightly green eye under the fluffy hair, which symbolized that he was a pure Satsuma.

"There are still 10,000 people available in the city, and five hundred swordsmen can be worth five thousand!"

In this regard, Su Chen was also very helpless, the long-haired war elephant was not easy to tame, from the time when he came back from the conquest of the Japanese invaders, he asked Zheng He's fleet to go to sea to look for and buy again, how many to buy, this thing is not easy to tame, so that the fleet returns empty-handed every time.

When there was no more restless horses' hooves and savage shouts outside, the evasive hunters slowly came out of the cave.

However, just as they were looking at the map in a daze as they discussed to no avail, a third piece of information had already arrived from outside.

Rustle rustle...... Soon after the sound of shaking sounded, a small beast burst out, and the Satsuma hunter followed his eyes to see that it was a gray-haired hare.

The huge army was divided into several layers, and divided into dozens or hundreds of formations, separated by one or two miles from each other, and constantly advancing.

- The former capital of Satsuma, Sattila.

"This will make you shoot off and make you show off!"

"Now I have some envy of those cavalry on the steppe." Liu Sheng, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, also had a slight symptom of discomfort, but he only felt tightness in his chest and some difficulty breathing.

The content on it is densely packed and written entirely by the clerk.

Burst!

The Satsuma man lying on the ground raised his hands to make a resisting motion, and as the sound of the blade entering the flesh sounded, his arms kept resisting, and the head on his shoulder and neck rushed into the air with a blood line.

Since Wu Zixun was injured, his body was weak, and with Su Chen, the martial arts of the past had long been abandoned, he gasped and nodded: "Back to Your Majesty, the prime minister is indeed a little unwell, but it is not serious, the prime minister asked me to come back and reply, saying don't worry, it will be fine after going down the mountain." ”

The Yuezhou soldiers who walked down the steep slope swung their blades and slashed from top to bottom.

"No, no!" Zhuge Liang, who took a sip of water, looked better, "...... The minister is His Majesty's close minister, as an example, but His Majesty does not have to worry about the minister's body, these years in this side to raise flowers and grass, the body and bones will have long been raised, if you don't believe it, when Your Majesty triumphs, ask Wang Lang! ”

Liu Sheng didn't know, so he reminded Su Chen like this.

It was beaten in one night, and whoever it was, I was afraid that I would be so angry that I would vomit blood, and when I woke up, it was already dark.

Altitude sickness, in this world, there is no medicine to take, so the unwell soldiers can only be transferred as soon as possible, but it is impossible to pull them back to the Western Regions.

Su Chen rubbed his eyebrows, summoned a commander, and asked him to bring the imperial doctor who stayed with him, and went over to check Zhuge Liang to see if he could prescribe medicine to suppress the discomfort of his body.

Here, Su Chen remounted his war horse, glanced back at Zhuge Liang who was leaving, and then galloped to the front of the army, and the sound echoed in the mountains and forests.

Only a few know that once the token is damaged, the generals summoned by the token will also die.

After the hunter hit the ground heavily, the whole person fell half to death, his face was covered with blood, and the leather jacket on his body was also torn, and he could see that the flesh was torn open, and a large amount of blood flowed out, and the huge pain made him cry out, and he wanted to struggle to get up, but he couldn't get up after trying several times, and his legs had been broken.

He looked at Dian Wei, who was opening the way with a war elephant in front of him, "What's the big deal......

"You know what!" Xu Chu, who was rectum, turned back on horseback, and when he scolded Liu Sheng, Wu Zixun had already galloped back with someone.

A huge army is coming out of the mountains!!

And the army ?!

O'Leyin looked at the information in his hand, and was so frightened that he almost fell from his chair to the ground, and on the paper on which the information was recorded, he roughly estimated the number of the large army, almost equal to the eastern cavalry outside.

In the field outside the city, from time to time, arrows exploded in the sky, attracting people's attention, and soon the cavalry rushing in groups rushed towards that side.

Outside the city of Hasai, almost all the sentry posts, strongholds, and villages were slaughtered, and it was even written that the enemy cut off the heads of the soldiers who died in battle and piled them up outside the city of Hasai to show off.

However, it is no wonder that Zhu Di has a bad impression of him, although he said these words behind his back, although it was for Su Chen's good, but after all, he was suspected of chewing the root of his tongue behind his back.

The blue sky, the white clouds.

Of course, there were also Satsuma hunters who survived, and some knew that there was a cave nearby to drill, and when danger came, they hid in the cave as soon as possible to avoid it.

An oriental soldier laughed at his comrade who had just shot an arrow in the dialect of Yuezhou, who snorted and ran through the rugged mountain forest with a bow, they had grown up in the mountains of Yuezhou since childhood, and they were not afraid of the sharp stones on the mountain with their bare feet.

It's almost noon.

Since the defeat of Tonino, Hassai has been reduced to an isolated city, and all the passes and strongholds outside the city have been pulled out by the enemy one by one, and even some of the troops who went to the rescue have been completely annihilated by the enemy on the way.

Seeing that Zhuge Liang's face was slightly blue and his breathing was not smooth, Su Chen walked to the side and asked in a low voice: "Can the prime minister still hold on?" If not, I will send someone to send you to the front first, and go down the mountain as soon as possible to raise for a while. ”

The meeting was held in the royal palace, and the generals present were all nobles of the Olein family, and there could have been more of them, but ten days ago, all of them died in the city of Hasay.

At this time, rabbits are the time to raise fat, and their physique is fat and covetous.

"Dare to resist?!"

The news was not sent by the city of Hasay, but by scouts sent from the side of Mount Amir for three days.

In their field of vision, a huge army, divided into dozens or hundreds of teams, marched all over the mountains.

The running hunter shrank his head smartly, and the arrow grazed his ear and flew forward, nailed to the trunk of the tree, and the hunter ignored the burning pain in his ear, and was so frightened that he rolled and crawled, and hurried down a steep slope.

Soon after, the scouts who had searched the other searches were assembled, and through the taiga, over a few more hills, and marked the terrain, before returning, brushing aside the hanging branches, and standing on top of the cliff, a dense array of banners came into view.

Ha ha!

The mount under Xu Chu is also a thousand-mile horse, and his body is relatively strong and tall among the war horses, but compared with Dian Wei's mount, he still can't help but have a sour tone in his mouth.

Wu Zixun nodded, and quickly disappeared into the forest in front of him with two Shenji battalion soldiers following the banners of several soldiers and horses.

Tens of thousands of troops fell apart in an instant, and were broken one by one on the way to reinforcements, and the main force stationed in the front of Hasai City was also broken through.

It was already the early morning of the next day, and Orein, who was guarding Sattila, was so angry that he rolled his eyes and fainted on the spot when he received the battle report.

It was a rout left over from the battle ten days ago, stubbornly resisting in the nearby mountains and forests or fields, but when it encountered the Mongolian cavalry that followed the guidance of the arrows, after a few interspersed and collided, the remnants of the stubborn resistance were broken like waves.

Orein quickly recruited the generals who were still in the city, took stock of the number of soldiers and horses in his hands, and on the other hand, sent men to the rear to seek the help of Holy Lothar.

From the moment he stepped on the Tianfeng Ridge, Su Chen, who came from later generations, has always paid attention to whether the soldiers have altitude sickness.

The Yuezhou soldier with his bow rushed to the edge of the steep slope and looked down, and saw a series of smoke and dust, as well as the screams of the Western barbarians, who kept rolling down the steep slope.

"Kill it directly."

In the time from Tianfeng Ridge to the present, only twenty or thirty people had altitude sickness, and then they were pulled to the front of the team by the pre-prepared cart and went down the mountain as soon as possible.

In the palace, there was a dead silence, and the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

The current generals can be counted in a single slap.

What the city didn't know was that from the Amir Mountains, the main force of the Left Route Army from the Eastern Xia Kingdom, the 140,000 soldiers and horses led by the Emperor of the Xia Kingdom himself, were coming out of the mountains and forests, gathering in the wilderness, and advancing towards this side.

At this moment the hunter licked his lips and thought about how to catch the rabbit, when there was a sound of footsteps in the direction behind him, and the hare turned his head vigilantly, turned around and kicked his legs, and burrowed into the nearby grass.

"Looking at your posture, does the prime minister also have symptoms of discomfort?"

The smoke and dust rose and fell on the ground, and in the direction of the city of Hasay, the soldiers on the city walls looked at the field in fear, and the dense cavalry quickly passed through the small city.

And in the eyes of the soldiers of the city of Hasai, there were still many deserters scurrying outside.

"How can it be completely different from the previous battles......"

After reading this battle report, there was silence in the palace.

In the direction of Hasai City, the Eastern Cavalry, which was originally galloping across the field, was gathering in the eyes of the soldiers of Hasai City, and was not running around like usual.

The corpses trampled by war horses and chopped by blades remained everywhere in the fields and in the mountains and forests.

"Hurry up and march, the Mongolian iron cavalry of the former army has swept through the barbarians, and we and other soldiers in a hundred battles, how can we lag behind!"

Looking at the wooden house that had become ruins, he cursed a few words, turned around and walked out dozens of feet, and the bushes under the trees in front of him swayed slightly.

"It's hard for him!"

One moment, he heard the sound, subconsciously raised his head, and saw a fierce oriental face, smiling at him, and the next moment, the eyes of the Satsuma hunter reflected the cold of the blade.

Su Chen looked at his panting appearance and immediately frowned.

"It's uncomfortable to go and see the prime minister." Su Chen inspected the two teams, the spirit of the soldiers was acceptable, looked at the team that passed in front of him below, and whispered to Wu Zixun next to him: "Although the prime minister has a bit of martial arts, he is a literati after all. ”

The rabbit's lips chewed back and forth on the thick serrated leaves, and the fat hare fanned its ears as it chewed while looking at the unkempt human in front of it.

After all, not everyone can afford it.

Hearing this, Su Chen laughed out loud, when the three armies competed, Zhuge Liang beat Wang Lang in front of everyone, and then in the three years that the two were partners, there were many quarrels, and they turned into mutual beatings.

The general, Tova, was thirty miles away from Hasai and was defeated by the opponent, and Tova was killed by ten arrows!

"A Western barbarian."

……

Su Chen didn't expect that the fight between the two Wenchen would be more interesting than the battle on the battlefield.

The second message was sent from Hasai in the east, and the time that had passed must have been from the previous night.

And the news of the siege of Hasai was transmitted as quickly as possible to Sattila to the west.

Faced with the silence below, O'Lai Yin also fell into confusion.

The Satsuma hunter's bow was broken by the tunnel as he entered the narrow cave, and now he only had a rough dagger in his hand.

Everyone, including Olayin, subconsciously looked at the map hanging in the palace, as if they saw 300,000 soldiers and horses in the east sweeping through Hasai, and then pounced straight on their side.

“…… Hehe, let Your Majesty worry, the minister went out of Qi Mountain many times back then, and the mountain peaks were also climbed, but I didn't expect such discomfort to occur here. ”

Occasionally, you can also see Dian Wei riding a long-haired giant elephant, walking through the mountains and forests, with a huge body, squeezing the trees one by one.

Countless banners are flying and flying, covering the sky and the sun, and the mountains are full of people, war horses, on the terrain at the junction of the plain and the mountains, extending nearly fifty miles from front to back.

Su Chen was riding a war horse at this time, and he was also marching in the army with Xu Chu, and the ancestral locomotive was too large, so he was left behind and slowly brought over by the soldiers.

……

After traveling another twenty miles, when they reached a place where the terrain was gradually slowing, the army began to rest in place, and hurried to eat dry food and drink water.

After comforting Xu Chu for a few words, Su Chen took him and led the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to inspect the soldiers and horses, and sometimes stopped to see if the entire army showed signs of disconnection.

After all, there was a high reaction, and the soldier was okay to say, and quickly pulled him down the mountain, but Zhuge Liang was different, if something happened, it would be too late to regret it.

The main general, Tonino, was also killed in the tent by the Eastern cavalry during the day and night attack.

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but he has scraped together over the years and saved up little by little.

Tens of thousands of people have been defeated, what can 10,000 people do? And they are not elite soldiers, and in the entire army, there are only those five hundred swordsmen who can be used.

The Yuezhou soldier wiped the blade on the corpse, picked up the human head and tied it around his waist, and then returned to the steep slope, laughed with his companions, and dived into the dense forest again to search.

Fortunately, the soldiers in this world have a relatively strong physique, and over the years, they have allowed the soldiers in the army to practice some qi training methods to strengthen their bodies and increase their strength.

With a sudden shout, the figures in leather armor and swords stepped on the fallen leaves, jumped on the nearby rocks, or stepped over the grass, and rushed directly at the Satsuma hunters, who reacted and turned and ran.

And the Satsuma hunter turned around with the same alertness, he thought that behind him was a wild wolf in the mountains, and the moment he turned back, there were several figures with knives, standing under a big tree and looking over, and then pulling their legs and running wildly towards him.

"Ten thousand ......" Olein's beard turned white when he heard the number.

The battle ten days ago was like a nightmare for anyone.

The Dagang stronghold was broken, and seven hundred soldiers were defeated!

The Heyman outpost was attacked, and 200 of his own people were killed!

Zhuge Liang smiled and nodded: "The march of the three armies, as well as the summary of intelligence, are inseparable from people, the minister will go back to the team first, Your Majesty can rest assured, if you are tired, the minister will sit in the car and rest!" ”

The proud soldiers and fierce generals who had conquered several city-states and small countries stopped speaking one by one in front of O'Reyin, and no one stood up heroically to take over the errand of defending against the enemy.

More than 100,000 people were divided into dozens or hundreds of teams, as many as 2,000 people, and as small as hundreds, spanning dozens of miles to the west of this mountain range.

This is already the fastest war horse sent by Hasai City.

By the time Hasai heard the news, the army was less than thirty-five miles away.

The whole city is terrified!
