In the school grounds, two groups of black shadows crisscrossed each other, and the snake spears and horse spears were waving tightly, with sharp edges. Hundreds of rounds have passed in the blink of an eye.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
The bravery of the two men greatly inspired the soldiers of Tang Dynasty who were watching from the outside. At this moment, there were cheers from outside the school grounds.
"Your Highness, if two tigers fight, one of them will be injured!"
Seeing that Du Ruhui's morale was almost lifted, he immediately raised his hands and said to Li Shimin: "These two are both rare and unparalleled generals. No matter which one is injured, it will be our loss to the Tang Dynasty!"
Li Shimin looked around, nodded, turned to his soldiers and said, "Go and invite His Highness King Zhao."
Zhuge Liang's eyes suddenly flashed with light when he heard this, and he nodded, secretly admiring Li Shimin's clever timing.
Not long after, Li Xuanba came to the school grounds, smiled at Li Shimin and said, "Second brother, what do you want to see Xuanba for?"
With a smile on his face, Li Shimin pointed to Zhang Fei and Fan Kuai, who were fighting fiercely in the distance, and said, "Fourth brother, can you separate those two generals for my second brother?"
"Second brother, don't worry, it's a trivial matter!"
Li Xuanba glanced at the two people in the school field, patted his chest, ran down the high platform, got on his horse, swung the two sledgehammers, and rode towards the center of the school field.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Li Xuanba has entered the brave state, the force is +7, the base force is 105, and the current force has increased to 112."
Li Xuanba rushed very fast and reached the center of the school field in just a moment. Zhang Fei and Fan Kuai were fighting fiercely over there, and Snake Spear and Ma Shan thrust forward with extremely fast and fierce power.
Li Xuanba shouted loudly, swung the sledgehammer, and swung the wind from his ears, swinging it left and right, only to hear two loud sounds of "ding-rang" and "ding-rang". Zhang Fei and Fan Kuai felt a numbness in the tiger's mouth, and the weapons in their hands sank. Immediately it plunged downward into the soil.
"His Royal Highness King Zhao is mighty! His Highness King Zhao is invincible in the world!"
Li Xuanba defeated the two fierce generals Zhang Fei and Fan Kuai with one blow, which immediately pushed the momentum of the Tang army to the extreme. Although some discerning people could see that Zhang Fei and Fan Kuai had been fighting fiercely for hundreds of rounds, but they were actually at the end of their crossbow. Only then did Li Xuanba Xuan Ba defeated them with one move, but at this time it was impossible for them to damage their own morale, so they also joined in.
"Hahaha! I, the generals of the Tang Dynasty, are so powerful that they can defy the Sui Dynasty. I can destroy them with just a flip of my hand!"
Li Shimin lost no time in standing up, laughed for a while, and said seriously: "Zhang Fei, Fan Kuai obeys the order."
After all, Zhang Fei and Fan Kuai were warriors with ten thousand enemies. When they ran out of energy, they still took a blow from Li Xuanba. However, they regained their breath after a moment. When they heard Li Shimin's call, they all got off their horses and stepped forward, raised their hands and said : "The end will be here."
Li Shimin showed an approving look on his face and slowly said: "This time, I have ordered Zhang Fei to be the left vanguard in the conquest of Shu, and Fan Kuai to be the right vanguard in the conquest of Shu. Each will lead five thousand elite troops to open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water to support our army. Enter Sichuan and clear away the obstacles."
"I will obey your orders!"
Zhang Fei and Fan Kuai each clasped their fists to accept the order, and at the same time raised their heads to give each other an unhappy look.
Li Shimin saw all this, turned to the general behind him and said, "Where is General Cao Shen?"
Cao Shen, who was carried out by Fan Kuai, strode out of the queue, raised his hands and said: "I will obey the order."
"I order you to command five thousand troops and support the two vanguards on the left and right."
Li Shimin waved his hand, motioned Cao Shen to come closer, and whispered: "I know that you are usually cautious, so you need to take more care of the two pioneers this time."
Cao Shen didn't know Zhang Fei very well, but he knew the personality of his fellow countryman Fan Kuai very well. He immediately nodded heavily and said: "Don't worry, King Qin, the general will understand!"
. . . . . . . . . .
The soldiers were very fast, and at dawn the next day, more than 100,000 Tang troops set off for the southern expedition, heading towards the land of Bashu in a mighty manner.
The pioneers Zhang Fei and Fan Kuai were eager to take credit and urged the soldiers to march faster. If Cao Shen, who was behind them, had not sent messengers to stop them, they would have even wanted to travel overnight. Even so, in just three days, they had marched nearly two hundred miles.
This distance seems to be nothing for a forced march. For example, in history, the Wei general Xia Houyuan was called a magical general because he could do five hundred in three days and one thousand in six days. The champion Hou Huo Qubing even made many forced marches when he attacked the Xiongnu in the north. Thousands of miles.
But don't forget that the Tang army is marching in Shu. The road to Shu is difficult to reach the sky. The land of Bashu has been famous for its rugged mountains and rugged roads since ancient times. It is not easy for Zhang Fan and Zhang Fan to achieve such a journey.
"Huh, these are all broken roads, but they make me exhausted!"
Riding on the black horse, looking at the road in front of him, Zhang Fei could not help but wave his riding whip bitterly.
Fan Kuai was originally full of resentment towards Shu Road, but when he heard Zhang Fei next to him say this, he immediately put away his complaints, looked at Zhang Fei with a sneer and said: "It's just a mere march, and you, a black man, are here. How can we accomplish anything if we complain endlessly?"
Zhang Fei was furious when he heard this. He was about to speak back to Fan Kuai but suddenly stopped, his eyes widened, and he yelled: "Those who kill dogs, be careful of hidden arrows!"
Fan Kuai suddenly heard Zhang Fei's warning and had no time to think about it. He lowered his body and an arrow passed by him.
As if it was a signal, countless Sui army archers suddenly emerged from the originally calm mountains on both sides. Arrows rained down like locusts. The Tang army, which was accelerating its march, was caught off guard. Countless people fell to the ground after being struck by arrows.
"Kill the Tang bandits, suppress the rebellion, and protect Bashu!"
With the flag waving, tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Sui army brandished their weapons and came from all over the mountains and plains to kill.
"What's going on? How could the Sui army ambush here?"
Both Zhang Fei and Fan Kuai were obviously shocked. After all, according to the Tang Army's assumptions, Li Jing should have just gathered the garrisons distributed across Bashu at this time. How could he know that Li Jing had already captured the troops before the Tang Army entered Hanzhong? I learned about the Tang Army's plan for the southern expedition.
"Ignorant Tang thief, you are already trapped in a tight siege. If you get off your horse early and be bound, you can still avoid death!"
A fierce general in the Sui army hung his iron bow, danced with his horse, and urged his green-maned horse to go straight to Zhang Fei and Fan Kuai to kill him. This person is the famous flying general Li Guang of the Western Han Dynasty, and his implanted identity is that of the younger brother of the Li Jing clan.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Li Guang has entered the attacking state, the force is +6, the base force is 100, and the current force has increased to 106."
"It's you, the thief, who just launched a cold arrow to sneak up on me!"
Fan Kuai roared angrily, slapped his horse and danced to meet him, and immediately fought with Li Guang.
"Ding dong, it has been detected that Fan Kuai has entered a state of revenge. His force is +6, his base force is 99, and his current force has increased to 105."
Seeing that Fan Kuai and Li Guang were fighting in a neck-and-neck fight, Zhang Fei had no intention of stepping forward to fight the larger number and attack the smaller number, so he just wanted to kill elsewhere with his horse.
After running no more than a dozen steps, a Sui general rushed out from Xixie. He was tall and majestic. He held a spear and blocked his way: "Tang thief, where are you going? Do you dare to fight with me, Xia Luqi?" .”
