Chapter 720 The disadvantages of the power of the army
The battle was brutal enough.
But it ended quickly enough.
Facing the rebellion of three thousand people, the Ouchi guards were ready to form a formation to defend. After all, there were noble people behind them, especially the prince, so everyone was ready to commit their lives here.
The battle turned out to be one-sided.
The charging rebels hit the military formation formed by Ouchi's guards like a tide. With just one impact, the tide scattered everywhere and was smashed by the rocks.
Rivers of blood flowed and they trampled on each other. With just one impact, the rebel formation completely collapsed.
On the hillside, Xie Yun, who was originally full of energy, looked ugly.
He was defeated so cleanly. This was his carefully trained private army. He gathered most of the strength left by the Xie family. He thought that after careful training and using the Han army's military formation, he could crush the Han army.
No matter how bad it is, he can still fight against the Han army. With the opportunity of a sneak attack, he can kill Su Lu who leaves the capital and defeat the Han Dynasty in one blow.
When the time comes, the countries that were suppressed because of Su Lu's reputation, and the various princes who were originally ready to make a move, will definitely rise up, and the unified Han State will fall apart, and there will be hope for the Tang State to be reestablished.
Reality gave me a hard blow.
Yamashita was not the strongest imperial guard under Su Lu, nor was he the bravest general among the guards. It was just the Ouchi guards who had not experienced battle for a long time and a group of rebels who came from a rough background, and they were so powerful.
To defeat the 3,000-strong army under his command in one fell swoop, this...
"Sir, let's go, the situation is over."
The personal guard reminded Xie Yun what he had said.
Faced with the instant defeat of their own powerful army, the guards' faith also collapsed. They had worked hard to secretly train this powerful army that wanted to kill Su Lu. Now was the best opportunity.
But why is this happening? Eight hundred versus three thousand, they had no time to react, and they didn't even have the chance to retreat, so they were killed by a single drum.
"Sir, let's go. If we don't go, the Han army will come and kill us, and we won't be able to leave."
The guard reminded Xie Yun with tears in his eyes that he had worked hard for ten years and lost his life today.
Xie Yun came back to his senses, glanced at the subordinates around him, and saw the dejection among them. His heart moved and he said loudly:
"I didn't expect that the strongest of the Han army was the hidden Ouchi guard. It was my fault that I lost this battle. I failed to find out that the strongest of the Han army was the Ouchi guard."
"This time we paid the price and brought out Su Lu's strongest army. Next time, Su Lu will not be so lucky and will be protected by the strongest army."
The guards' eyes lit up when they heard this, yes, the Ouchi guards are the strongest in the Han army, otherwise how could they be the Ouchi guards.
The morale among the army recovered, and Xie Yun's generals regained their indomitable momentum.
"kill"
The sound of scolding suddenly exploded in the treetops.
Xie Yun was shocked. Oh no, there is an ambush here.
No, the Han army was not that stupid and would shout before taking action.
Xie Yun felt a heartbreaking pain in his chest. He saw the horror in the eyes of the followers in front of him. The next moment, the frightened shouts of the followers echoed across the hillside.
"Protect your lord"
Groups of soldiers and powerful figures recruited by him rushed over and surrounded him.
The sound of arrow rain rang overhead, and the followers raised their large shields to cover the surroundings. The sound of arrows hitting the shields was endless.
Xie Yun pressed the arrow on his chest, enduring the excruciating pain, and was carried back by several of his followers.
Xie Yun was full of self-mockery in his heart, complaining that the hidden Han army would shout out killing sounds. This was to hide the sound of shooting arrows. In vain, he thought that the Han army's killers were nothing more than that.
The battle ended quickly. As soon as Xie Yun left, the rebel army began to retreat, covering the mountains and plains.
Su Yi won the battle, and although he ordered a pursuit, the Ouchi guards were not good at pursuing pursuits, and basically had no results.
However, after this battle, these several hundred internal guards became famous in an instant. With eight hundred against three thousand, this is what a strong army in the world looks like. It is expected that in the next few years, it will be a model army set by the Ministry of War.
Su Yi sat on the shaft of the car and excitedly said to Su Lu:
"I can mobilize the power of the military formation. Just like General Cao Hua and the others, I can mobilize the power of the military formation and mobilize the armies."
Su Lu stood on the driver's seat, looked at the forest that looked like Shura's hell, and sighed.
"Mobilizing the power of the military formation is not a good thing. You have to remember not to randomly activate the power of the military formation in the future. There will be a price to pay."
Su Yi's face was slightly stunned and she looked at Su Lu:
"Is there still a price to pay for unleashing the power of the military formation?"
Su Lu nodded:
"Back then, I had countless troops under my command. Why were only Cao Hua and the others able to mobilize the power of the military formation? Because mobilizing the power of the military formation requires consuming your own energy and energy. If you win the battle, it's okay. If you can't win,
Then you will lose your spirit."
"If it's serious, you might even lose your life."
"From now on, the power of this military formation must be used with caution. It must not be used casually unless it is critical."
Su Lu ordered Su Yi to speak.
The main card is the source of the power of the military formation. The formation diagram that covers the military formation is very powerful. This power is not rootless duckweed, and it will definitely damage the sergeants themselves.
It also caused damage to the generals who led the army.
That's why he reminded Su Yi to use it with caution.
Su Yi nodded heavily, and his father helped him activate the power of the military formation. Although he did not feel the negative effects of the power of the military formation, but his father said it, it was definitely like this.
At the same time, Zheng Kai, who was far away in Wuyuan, was suffering the consequences of the backlash from the power of the military formation.
Cooperating with the cavalry led by Sun Xiu and supplemented by bird soldiers flying in the sky, Zheng Kai led the crossbow artillerymen to advance slowly and steadily, hoping to completely wipe out the rebellious Li Lu.
I never expected to receive a military order from the prince, which required all cities to be garrisoned during the withdrawal, and each city would have to station troops for at least one month.
Zheng Kai immediately became furious.
The prince thought that he had an unparalleled army and had defeated Li Lu.
He sent his troops straight in, hoping to directly defeat the rebels, and then return to garrison the cities. Unexpectedly, he fell into an ambush by Li Lu's army.
The damage to the crossbow artillery was not serious, but most of the crossbows were lost. The coordinated bird soldiers retreated in embarrassment, leaving behind five bird soldiers. Sun Xiu's cavalry was in great spirits, and relied on the camp to hold on, so there was no damage.
However, Zheng Kai's losses were huge. With the bonus of the power of the military formation, he was defeated after the battle, and the consequences were heart-wrenching pain in his head.
When Sun Xiu came over, Zheng Kai was in so much pain that he couldn't do anything.
"what happened?"
Sun Xiu asked about Zheng Kai's personal soldiers, his expression ugly.
The soldiers were as confused as the fog. You looked at me and I looked at you. I didn’t know why. The general was rolling here in pain.
Sun Xiu looked at Zheng Kai rolling around in the tent and asked in a deep voice:
"Can your general mobilize the power of the army?"
Sun Xiu was not familiar with Zheng Kai and did not know whether Zheng Kai could mobilize the power of the army.
A group of soldiers became excited and said happily:
"Of course, our generals were the number one generals under the prince's command back then. It's a trivial matter to mobilize the power of a general formation."
