Chapter 2015: Fighting Xingtian (Part 2)
Outside the Qin army's camp, Xing Tian led three thousand horsemen and cavalry and were scolding outside the camp to provoke the Qin army to come out to fight.
Langzhong cavalry existed in history, and played a great role in the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony, and made great contributions to Liu Ji's unification of the world. Currently, they are the only elite cavalry under Liu Ji's command.
Langzhong Cavalry was originally from the Yulin Army of the Han Dynasty. It was the 'entrepreneurship fund' given to his son by Liu Hong when Liu Jicai took office as the governor of Bajun.
At the beginning, the Langzhong Cavalry only had a thousand riders. After that, they accompanied Liu Ji all the way and continued to grow in strength. The victory of the Langzhong Cavalry against Chi You was the famous battle of the Langzhong Cavalry.
Now the Langzhong's cavalry has a lineup of 5,000 people. Liu Ji is worried that the too rapid expansion of the army will affect the combat effectiveness of the Langzhong's cavalry. Otherwise, the number of the Langzhong's cavalry would have exceeded 10,000.
There is also a saying that has been circulating in the Kingdom of Shu: There are only two cavalry in the Kingdom of Shu, one is the Langzhong Cavalry, and the other is the Reserve of the Langzhong Cavalry.
The implication is that, except for the Langzhong’s cavalry, all other cavalry in Shu are the reserve army of the Langzhong’s cavalry.
However, this is also true. Once the Langzhong's cavalry is damaged, elites will be selected from other cavalry camps and added to the Langzhong's cavalry to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Langzhong's cavalry.
This is also the main reason why the rest of the Shu cavalry army is not strong in combat effectiveness. After all, the soldiers with strong combat effectiveness have been transferred to the Langzhong cavalry.
Xingtian did not bring ordinary cavalry, but the Langzhong cavalry to challenge. Naturally, if he brought ordinary cavalry, if the Qin general did not go to fight, but directly sent cavalry to fight, those cavalry who had not been in the army for a short time might not be able to escape. He had to lose, but Langzhong's cavalry was able to escape the Qin army's pursuit.
The soldiers of the Shu-Chu coalition were shouting at each other, while archers were shooting arrows, and they also shot down the Qin army's flagpole, hoping to use this method to provoke the Qin army into fighting.
The marksman who shot down the Qin army's flagpole was naturally not Hou Yi, but Liu Xiu's general, Wang Bodang. After all, such a trivial matter did not require Hou Yi, the number one marksman of the Han Dynasty, to take action.
After Wang Boxiang shot down eighteen shots of the Qin army, the Shu army once again cheered and insulted the Qin army and Yue Feilai even more unscrupulously. The soldiers in the camp were so angry that they gritted their teeth but could do nothing.
The Shu army was not wrong. If someone in the Qin army could defeat Xing Tian, they would not have lost three times in a row before.
"Brother Xingtian, I think Yue Fei doesn't dare to fight." Kuafu laughed.
Xing Tian did not come to challenge alone. Even if he had the courage to come, Liu Ji would not let him do anything wrong. After all, even if the reinforcements did not arrive, there were quite a few masters in the Qin army. If they attacked in groups, they might not be unable to defeat Xing Tian.
It is precisely for this reason that Liu Jicai sent Kuafu, Houyi, Fan Kuai and other generals to come together, while Liu Xiu also sent Chong Heihu, Ma Yuan, Wang Bodang and other generals to assist in the battle. This was to prevent the Qin army from being unjust. Bullying the few with more.
Liu Ji's idea was very simple. The decisive battle was about to begin. Let Xing Tian come to challenge first and kill several Qin generals to lower the morale of the Qin army. The subsequent decisive battle would be relatively easy.
After Xingtian heard Kuafu's words, he frowned and said, "If that's true, wouldn't this trip have been in vain again?"
Obviously this is not Xing Tian's first time fighting, nor is it Yue Fei's first time refusing to fight. It must have happened more than once before.
"Don't worry, two brothers, the Qin army's reinforcements have arrived and their morale is high. And our army comes to challenge now. If Yue Fei doesn't dare to challenge us, doesn't it mean that he is afraid of us? The morale of the Qin army will definitely drop greatly because of this. .
Therefore, even if he knew he was defeated, Yue Fei would still fight. This was related to the subsequent decisive battle. Hou Yi said calmly.
"That makes sense."
Kuafu nodded, then his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Look, Yue Fei is out."
After hearing this, everyone turned their attention to the Qin camp and saw Yue Fei, surrounded by other generals, riding his horse slowly out of the camp.
After seeing the visitor, Xing Tian and Kua Fu had no reaction, but Hou Yi's pupils shrank sharply.
Xingtian Kuafu had never fought against the main force of the Qin army, so he naturally didn't know Jiang Song, Zhao Yun and others, but Hou Yi knew them.
Hou Yi belonged to Dong Zhuo's side in the war against Dong, and helped Dong Zhuo fight against the Kwantung Allied Forces. He knew all the masters of the Qin Army.
When he saw Jiang Song and Yuwen in Chengdu, Hou Yi knew about this battle. If he wanted to kill generals and make meritorious deeds, it might not be that easy to suppress the morale of the Qin army.
"Be careful, Jiang Song and Yuwen Chengdu are here." Hou Yi warned in a low voice.
Xing Tian's eyes lit up. Although he didn't know Jiang Song and Yu Wen Chengdu, he had heard their names and knew that these two were world-famous masters. They were definitely not comparable to the likes of Pei Yuanqing and Yue Yun. He immediately felt a strong desire to fight. rise.
Among the opponents Xing Tian has fought so far, except for Li Yuanba and Chi You, no one can challenge him in a one-on-one fight. Although it feels good to win in a one-on-one duel, he still enjoys the pleasure of defeating opponents of the same level.
As soon as he thought of this, Xing Tian immediately rode forward, pointed the ax in his hand at Yue Fei, and laughed and said: "Yue Fei, you are such a shy turtle, now you finally dare to fight."
Yue Fei ignored Xing Tian. When he saw that Hou Yi, Kua Fu and other generals were coming with Xing Tian, a dignified look suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he asked Jiang Song beside him: "Brother Yongnian, if you face Xing Tian, why don't you fight alone?" Are you sure you can win if you fight alone?"
Yue Fei naturally doesn't want to fight in a group fight if he can win in a single fight. After all, even if he wins in a group fight, it's not something to be proud of. Currently, the only people who can defeat Xing Tian in a single fight are those with the strength in the entire army. The strongest Jiang Song was relieved.
While Xing Tian was observing Jiang Song, Jiang Song was also observing him. Just by looking at his momentum, Jiang Song knew that Xing Tian's skill was superior to his own, but skill did not necessarily represent combat power.
After Jiang Song thought for a while, he said truthfully: "Xingtian's skill is better than mine. I will need to observe Xingtian's moves, otherwise I will not be sure of winning."
Hearing this, Yue Fei breathed a sigh of relief. He actually knew that Xing Tian was stronger than Jiang Song, but he was definitely not much stronger. If he first consumed his strength with a wheel battle, and then Jiang Song defeated him, this would be considered a one-on-one duel. Defeat it.
The Jingzhou Qin Army has been defeated by Xing Tian too many times, and now it doesn't matter what means it is. As long as it can be defeated, any means can be used.
"In that case, let's send someone else to explore the situation first."
After saying that, Yue Fei glanced at the generals around him and asked: "In the battle against Xingtian, safety comes first. At least four people must join forces and fight together. Which four generals are willing to fight against Xingtian first?"
When the three Huang Tianhua brothers met each other, they all looked eager to give it a try, but there was someone who reacted faster than them.
"Why do we need four people to join forces? Two of my senior brothers are enough." Zheng Lun shouted.
