Chapter 625 Strong soldiers (one more)
Su Rongxuan's Black Cliff Pass is 250 miles away from Qihuan Mountain.
She brought a large number of troops to chase, and Yuan Zhao also led a large number of troops to chase after each other. After chasing each other for a day and a night, Su Rong arrived at Heiya Pass with 500,000 soldiers and horses.
At this time, there were still ten miles to the pursuers led by Yuan Zhao behind him.
Entering the gate of Heiya Pass, Su Rong ordered 100,000 soldiers to guard the pass, and the rest rested in the city and dispatched after listening, and then she began to deploy the defense line in the city.
Zhou Gu and Zhang Yun were helped out of the carriage, and Zhang Yun handed Su Rong a piece of paper, "Princess, this is the defense plan of Heiya Pass that I studied on the carriage with Brother Zhou and Brother Guixue. "
Su Rong took it without looking at it, and handed it to Feng Ling who was beside him, "Use this deployment map to quickly deploy."
Feng Ling should be, and went immediately.
Su Rong turned around and said to Shen Yi: "Senior sister, I'll send you to the capital, so you don't need to stay at Heiyaguan. You are not suitable to fight with me now."
Shen Yi shook her head with her stomach straight, "Why can't you? Don't underestimate me, I won't leave."
Su Rong looked at her, "Go."
"Don't go, stop talking nonsense." Shen Yi said angrily, "I'm tired, find a place for me to sleep first."
Su Rong had no choice but to order someone to send Shen Yi to resettle.
500,000 soldiers and horses, it took half an hour to quickly deploy the defense of Heiyaguan.
Heiyaguan occupies a natural danger, the fortress of Xiongguan, and it is also the only way for Yuanzhao to lead his troops to the southern Chu king's capital. If he wants to seize the king's capital, he must first take Heiyaguan.
500,000 soldiers and horses, plus the natural fortress and defenses of Heiyaguan, it is not a mansman's arms to deal with 800,000 Wei soldiers and horses.
"Let's rest! Yuanzhao may not be able to attack the city today." Zhou Gu said.
Xie Yuan nodded, "You have been chasing me for so long, our soldiers are tired, and so are the soldiers of the Great Wei, especially Yuan Zhao's soldiers and horses, who must have never stopped since they came out of the Great Wei."
Ye Guixue said: "Princess and sir, Brother Zhou Gu, Brother Zhang Yun, you all go to rest, I will take people to guard."
"How can I do that?" Su Rong didn't forget that Ye Guixue has always been fighting and recovering from injuries while traveling on the road. Although her injuries are recovering now, it is inevitable that the root cause of the disease will be caused by overwork. She objected: "You all go, I won't Tired, I took a nap in the senior sister's car, and I will keep watch."
"Ahem, princess, that, you all stop arguing, I, Brother Zhang Mao and Brother Jiang Zhu are guarding together, we have only walked along the way, there is no battle to fight, the three of us are really not tired. "Ning Ze came over, "You all go to rest, don't worry, the three of us will definitely defend the city, once Yuan Zhao launches an attack, we will send someone to call you immediately."
Su Rong thinks it's right, what's the point of arguing, she nodded and said cheerfully: "That's it, I'll leave it to the three of you."
Zhang Mao and Jiang Zhu nodded in unison.
Everyone had no objection, no longer arguing, handed over the city gate to the three, and entered the inner city one after another.
After everyone left, Ning Ze took Zhang Mao and Jiang Zhu to the gate tower of the city wall, "Come on, let's stand up and have a look at the Great Wei Prince Yuanzhao, what does he look like? I heard he looks beautiful and male." I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
"Going up to the gate tower, you may not be able to see clearly." Zhang Mao said.
"If we don't attack the city, the Great Wei Crown Prince Yuanzhao won't even show his face." Jiang Zhu said again.
"Let's take a look." Ning Ze insisted on standing high and looking far away, "Let me see the formation of 800,000 soldiers and horses."
The three of them went up to the city tower together, and sure enough, they saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, the black army, cavalry weapons and armor, the combined weight made the earth tremble continuously.
Ning Ze took a deep breath, "The soldiers and horses of the Great Wei Dynasty look fat and strong."
"For many years, the ambition of the Great Wei has never died. The monarchs of the Great Wei all advocated enriching the country and strengthening the army, expanding the land and sealing the borders, and wanting to unify the world." Zhang Maodao: "The military strength of the Great Wei is stronger than that of Daliang. There is nothing wrong with it."
"That's right, His Majesty Daliang thinks that he can rest easy after signing a 30-year non-violation treaty. He can't tolerate his own crown prince being capable and talented, and he can't tolerate the military power in the hands of the Duke of the Protectorate, who is blindly consolidating the imperial power." , Suspicious and suspicious, although not slack in political affairs, but just barely stabilize the country and balance the court." Jiang Zhudao: "It is also thanks to the crown prince who can bear and let him stand, and never let His Majesty Daliang find a reason to abolish the crown prince. It is also thanks to the low-key behavior of the Huguo Gongfu, being able to bend and stretch, keeping the military power in its hands, and not leaving others behind, so that now, when His Majesty delegates power to the crown prince, the crown prince has secured his position, and the beams have not become disorganized, otherwise they will definitely not be the opponent of Wei."
"The soldiers and horses raised by my father are not inferior to the soldiers and horses of Great Wei. If my third brother and I hadn't taken refuge with the princess, these soldiers and horses of my father would have been a sharp sword pierced into Daliang's heart, allowing Great Wei to succeed." Zhang Mao mentioned Zhang Ping said in a flat tone, "The soldiers that the princess borrowed from Daliang were all soldiers from the former General's Mansion in Northern Hebei. Don't worry, they can be fought. Except for the disparity in strength, there is no defect in the armor and cavalry weapons."
Ning Ze patted Zhang Mao on the shoulder heavily when he heard the words, "Brother Zhang Mao, I love what you say. You don't grow others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige. Even if there is a huge difference in strength, we will definitely be able to defend Heiya Pass."
Zhang Mao nodded.
Jiang Zhudao: "It is necessary to guard the Black Cliff Pass. The Southern Chu State is a small country. There are not many checkpoints and fortresses. There are only two natural barriers, one is Qihuan Mountain, and the other is this Black Cliff Pass. Qihuan Mountain was captured by the Great Wei. The 800,000 soldiers and horses broke through like a broken bamboo, and the queen and daughter had few troops, so they had no way to resist them, so they could only retreat. Now this Black Cliff Pass is the last barrier. Once it is broken, the soldiers and horses of the Great Wei Dynasty will be able to drive straight into the capital. , the king’s capital is lost, and it will be difficult to regain it.”
Ning Ze gritted his teeth, "I will definitely hold on."
While the three of them were talking, the soldiers and horses of the Great Wei Dynasty had arrived at the Black Cliff Pass. Although there were a large number of soldiers and horses, the formation was not chaotic and uniform.
The thundercloud-like momentum shocked the hearts of the soldiers stationed on the city wall of Heiyaguan.
Ning Ze took out the binoculars and looked down, only to see the flags of the Great Wei waving, and the word "Zhao" on the crown prince Yuanzhao was very eye-catching. Yuanzhao didn't ride a horse, but sat in a carriage. There was a chariot in the middle of the team, surrounded by guards Lined up.
There was a young man with an outstanding appearance, riding a horse in front of the car, looking towards the direction of the city wall of Heiyaguan, as if he was talking to the people in the car.
After a while, a hand was stretched out from the car, and the curtain was raised, and a person in the car looked towards the Heiyaguan tower. The man's face was like a crown of jade, and he was indeed beautiful.
"Sure enough, what you said is true." Ning Ze sighed.
"Show me." Jiang Zhu took the binoculars, took a look, handed it to Zhang Mao who was beside him, and said, "The person in the car is Yuan Zhao, Prince of Wei, the young man standing in front of his car and talking to him. It should be Nangong Zheng."
