Traveling Through the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: The Ming Zun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 655 Sapphire’s Support

When the fire broke out, Zhao Min also began to lead his team to break out.

People are not afraid of this sudden fire, but the horses are very frightened.Fortunately, these soldiers are elites trained by Zhao Min according to Mongolian methods.Everyone quickly calmed down the horses, and then everyone rushed down the mountain.

Tang He and Feng Sheng began to form formation on the thoroughfare at the foot of the mountain, intending to respond to Zhao Min's cavalry charge.

Standing in front of the hillside, Zhao Min looked at the cavalry running in the distance, and then shouted happily: "Everyone, don't mess up, General Lan is here to meet us!"

Everyone followed Zhao Min's voice and saw Lan Yu leading the way, holding the Overlord's Bright Silver Spear, just like Changshan Zhao Zilong when he was still alive. One man and one horse rushed Feng Sheng's rear army around the mountain to pieces. After a while, Then he killed seven in and seven out!

The cavalry that followed also used their troops to cover up the enemy, and kept coming towards the rear of Feng Sheng's troops.

When Tang He saw the brave Lan Yu in front of him, he frowned and cursed: "I didn't expect it to be this kid! It's a pity that the superiors didn't eradicate him as soon as possible!"

Feng Sheng looked at Zhao Min, who was charging down from a high position, and then at Lan Yu, who was becoming more and more courageous as he fought.

Feng Sheng said to Tang He: "Commander, this time we are at a disadvantage. Lan Yu, the traitor, and Yuanting's witch are all leading elite cavalry. Our infantry cannot keep up with them. If we fight again, If we go down, we may be divided, surrounded and eliminated by their cavalry. This situation is not good for us. In my opinion, it is better to retreat for the time being."

Tang He summarized the situation in front of him, and then said: "Alas! It seems that this is the only way. We have lost the siege equipment this time, and it will be difficult to capture Suzhou City again. I am really ashamed of my superior position. !”

Feng Sheng also sighed, but he was very calm.

Feng Sheng said: "This is entirely because we underestimated the enemy. I didn't expect that Mingzun still has such an excellent cavalry unit. In my opinion, it is no longer realistic for us to capture Suzhou City without equipment. It is better to send troops Siege, and then quickly return to support the Yangtze River defense line."

Tang He shook his head and said: "It is no longer possible. We fought without declaring the war before and trapped Ming Zun in this small Suzhou city. We have completely broken our hearts. Our original plan was to kill Ming Zun. The sneak attack on the capital was successful, and eventually the generals under Ming Zun fought for power and fought, and we reaped the benefits."

"But now, we have lost our most advantageous weapon before we get close to Suzhou City. If we attack by force, even if the city is defeated, the price we will pay will be unprecedented, and there is no need to go back. Although it is a bit taboo to say these words , but we have indeed lost our only chance.”

Feng Sheng also snorted and said: "First of all, Zhang Shicheng, this bastard, was captured so easily by Ming Zun. In our original idea, Ming Zun would have to lose at least half of his troops to attack Suzhou. After that, we took advantage of the opportunity They both suffered losses, and then reaped the benefits. But I didn't expect that Zhang Shicheng was eliminated without hurting Mingzun's vitality. Those two bastards Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang also misjudged the situation. "

Tang He also said angrily: "Before, the Yuan army made so much noise in Jianghuai and even united with Zhang Shicheng. Unexpectedly, it was so useless. They were defeated by Zhang Wuji's army just after the fight. That's all! Time is also destiny!"

Tang He immediately issued an order: "Ming Jin retreats the troops!"

Hearing the sound of the gong, the Ming soldiers who were fighting with Zhao Min and Lan Yu immediately retreated.

When Lan Yu saw this, she stopped chasing and led her team to run straight towards Zhao Min.Now that the siege has been lifted, Zhao Min and others are relieved.

Then Zhao Min immediately led his team to join Lan Yu's cavalry troops.After the two teams merged, they said nothing and immediately drove back to Suzhou City for repairs.

Standing on the city wall to watch the battle, Huo Jia and others were filled with excitement, leaving aside Zhao Min's strength.

Just seeing that Lan Yu, a young man, had such bravery and courage, everyone gave him a thumbs up.

After returning to the city, Lan Yu and Zhao Min also returned to the city wall to compete with everyone.

The soldiers called by Hoja brought chairs to the two of them, and then handed them hot tea. Although the two were already sweating from the heat, they did not dare to take off their armor.

Zhao Min wiped the sweat from his face, and then said: "I didn't expect that you are really not a bad boy. This time, I accept your love."

Although Lan Yu is arrogant, he still understands the ways of the world. At this time, Lan Yu said: "If the empress wants to show her gratitude, she should show her love to Li Wenzhong. If he hadn't suddenly retreated, allowing the young general to defeat them quickly, the young general would not have had time to come. Meet the empress."

Huo Jia personally handed the two cups of tea to the two of them. Huo Jia said: "You two are very powerful, so there is no need to be humble. This time we were able to save the day, and you two deserve a lot of credit."

Lan Yu shook her head and said: "No! We haven't saved the day yet. I have been under Zhu Yuanzhang for many years and have had some dealings with Tang He, Liao Yongzhong, Zhu Liangzu and others. Now we have just defeated most of them."

"Oh?" Zhao Min murmured.

Lan Yu took a sip of tea, and then explained patiently: "With Tang He's always seeking stability, he will leave some reserve teams. He knows the key to attacking Suzhou City, one is time, and the other is siege equipment. Now We destroyed the equipment and he will bring the second batch up soon."

Hoja said: "Then let's continue fighting."

Zhao Min shook his head after drinking tea and said: "It's impossible. This time we succeeded because we made a surprise attack on the opponent. Judging from their response, they didn't even think that we still had a team of elite cavalry that could be called upon. . If we talk about the infantry decisive battle alone, Tang and his soldiers are not weak, and we do not have much advantage. This time he will definitely use his siege equipment with all his strength. Even if we want to do it, we will have to pay a lot of effort. cost."

Lan Yu continued: "There is another important issue. Our casualties this time are not small. The cavalry under my command suffered more than 600 casualties after this battle."

Zhao Min said: "Me too, I suffered more casualties than you, more than 800 people. Our cavalry unit lost more than 1000 people after this battle. And many people suffered different injuries. I was injured to such a degree that I was unable to fight again in a short period of time. And I also discovered some problems. Although there are abundant water and grass in Jiangnan, the grass here is not suitable for feeding war horses. The physical strength of the war horses is only more than half of its usual strength. We no longer have the strength to fight anymore. A cavalry raid was launched."

At this time, a person's voice came: "Since we can't launch a surprise attack, we will fight with our last breath. Now we have millions of taels of silver in hand, and enough food and grass to last for a month. Now that reinforcements have arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River, it's time for us to Fight back!"
