The day for dispatching troops arrived. Early in the morning, Chen Xi and Li Hongbang led their troops to Yanggu. As everyone in the Han tribe was preparing to enter the valley, a group of troops rushed out of the valley. There was a big flag with the word "Chu" on it, which means "Chu". The army of Chu State.
The opponent's troops were well-organized, with distinctive armor, and their men and horses were like dragons. They were extremely powerful. In comparison, the Korean team wore colorful animal skins and had a variety of weapons. The Li Hongbang brothers also had more than a dozen veterans who had fought in the war. On the other hand, they are all in military uniforms, fully equipped with helmets and leather armor. The number of Korean soldiers has increased than before, reaching more than 2,000. Although they don’t look good, with the help of veterans like Li Hongguang for training, Han These young soldiers are full of energy, strong in physique, and have good fighting ability.
A general from Chu State rode out slowly on horseback. Behind him were more than fifty cavalrymen. There were many soldiers and horses in the valley. The general's name was Su Ling. He was in his thirties, with a dark complexion, thick eyebrows and square face, and a rather powerful appearance. , he looked at everyone in the Han tribe and asked aloud: "Who is coming?"
Li Hongbang stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute: "Li Hongbang of Han Dynasty."
"Han Department? We are looking for you! Mr. Jing Kui came to your department to contact you, but he did not return to Chu Department. He just said hello and left. There is something weird about this!"
When everyone in Han heard this, their hearts skipped a beat. Because of Jing Kui's factor, the situation had changed. Chen Xi pondered for a moment, then dismounted and stepped forward. He saluted Su Ling and said loudly: "Boy Feng Lin, hello." General! I was sent by Lord Jingkui. He went to Qin and asked me to return to Han and supervise Han to fight!"
"Oh? Come here!"
Su Ling got off his horse and stood in front of Chen Xi. He stared at him and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you? What's going on with Mr. Jingkui?"
Chen Xi replied: "General, I am Feng Lin, Lord Jing's personal attendant. Lord Jing received a letter from General Jing, saying that Qin was preparing to invade our border with Chu and asked him to mediate, so he sent me to supervise the battle. "
Chen Xi took out the dragon and phoenix jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Su Ling: "Master Jing asked me to come with his jade pendant and fully cooperate with General Huang Qing!"
Su Ling took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. As a member of the Jingyang family, he naturally recognized this kind of jade pendant. It was the symbol of the Jing family. At that time, the nobles regarded the jade pendant they carried with them as their fate, and they would take it into the coffin even if they died. Here, when Su Ling saw the jade pendant, he was naturally convinced.
After Huang Dashan explained Jing Kui's situation to Huang Qing, the chief general of the Chu army, Huang Qing felt a little strange, but he never thought that Jing Kui was dead. People would easily offend him and kill his family, and since Jing Kui said he was following Jing Yang's order to keep the matter confidential, Huang Qing did not dare to send people back to Chu State to ask Jing Yang.
Su Ling patted Chen Xi on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, young gentleman, why doesn't your accent sound like a Chinese?"
"The boy grew up in the South Vietnamese tribe. It was Mr. Jingkui who took me in."
Su Ling nodded, got on his horse, and said to Li Hongbang: "Chief Li, the Chu tribe and our army are attacking the Wei tribe. You will march with me!"
Entering Yang Valley, they saw that the valley was full of Chu troops, with about 500 troops and horses. Li Hongbang and others couldn't help but feel frightened. The valley was narrow, and 500 people were enough to block ten to eight times the troops. If they couldn't deceive the Chu army, , they were unable to support Wei at all.
Huang Qing sent Su Ling to guard Yanggu. Firstly, he was a little suspicious about Jingkui's affairs. Secondly, the Hanbu had just defected and their loyalty had yet to be tested. Su Ling's team was here to monitor the Hanbu. Su Ling's troops went first, and Su Ling's troops followed behind. This was also meant to supervise the battle. If the Korean troops turned around and fled back during the battle, Su Ling would not be polite and would kill as many as they escaped.
Chen Xi looked at the Chu army and felt terrified. This was the first time he had seen a regular army. The Chu State was indeed one of the top powers. From this team, the strength of the Chu State could be seen.
"How can we fight this battle?"
Chen Xi broke into a cold sweat, and his heart was twitching.
At this time, Huang Dashan led the Chu troops to cross the Shahe Bridge and entered the Wei tribe from the south. The Chu army was at the rear. His son Huang Jichang led 2,000 cavalry to take the lead. Huang Dasheng led 3,000 infantry to follow. One tribe actually had 2,000 soldiers. Cavalry, it can be seen from this that the strength of the Chu tribe is very strong. The Chu country is so powerful, but there are only more than 10,000 cavalry.
The weapons of the three armies are basically made of bronze, which are no longer used by the three kingdoms of Han, Wei and Chu. Nowadays, in addition to the local guard troops, the weapons of the standing armies of various countries are mainly made of iron. Naturally, some small countries and tribes still use bronze weapons. Bronze Weapons and iron weapons are not on the same level.
Huang Dashan's five thousand men and horses fluttered their red flags, with a Yinglong embroidered with gold thread moving in the wind, as if flying through the clouds and mist, and the momentum was very intimidating.
The cavalry led by Huang Jichang encountered no resistance. Only some working farmers shouted loudly and fled in all directions. Huang Jichang was very familiar with the terrain of Wei. This was a surprise attack, and his troops were very fast. He led his troops forward quickly.
At this time, more than 20 riders from the Wei tribe came towards Huang Jichang and shot arrows at Huang Jichang's troops. Huang Jichang's men also shot arrows in return. Seeing the strength of the incoming men, the Wei tribe's troops turned around and fled towards the center of the tribe. The south gate opened and everyone ran in. , Huang Jichang's cavalry was as powerful as a rainbow, and rushed into the center. Huang Jichang took the lead, holding a saber, and chased and slashed at the fleeing Wei troops. The Wei soldiers fled to the front of the Wei conference hall, and Huang Jichang was waiting for pursuit. , a burst of shouts rang out, and a group of people poured out from behind the conference hall. The first person shouted: "Huang Madman!"
The person who came was none other than Zhang Wei. He was shirtless and had bulging muscles. He was followed by more than 500 riders, rushing towards Huang Jichang's team. Huang Jichang pointed his sword at Zhang Wei and laughed: "Zhang Wei! Come here! Die!"
Zhang Wei took the lead, attacked Madman Huang, and slashed at Huang Jichang. Huang Jichang also slashed.
"Keng!"
The two swords struck each other, causing sparks to fly. Both of their arms felt slightly sore and numb, and they secretly sighed at each other's physical strength. Zhang Wei's momentum continued unabated, and he rushed into the Chu army's formation. The light of his swords was released towards the enemy like a sword, all the way. Slashing left and right, he was unstoppable. The enemy's blood splashed all over his body, bright red, which was really scary. Zhang Wei led thirty of Wei's most skilled people and swept away like a hurricane, turning everyone on their backs in his path. ,a mess.
Huang Jichang rushed towards the cavalry following Zhang Wei, but the five hundred cavalry did not fight. They quickly divided into two teams, avoiding Huang Jichang's men and horses, and galloped past the east and west sides respectively, and rushed towards the south gate. At this time, If you look down from the air, you can clearly see Wei's team forming two large arcs like rugby balls, with Huang Jichang's team in the middle.
Zhang Wei and the other 30 people were not interested in fighting. They just rushed forward, cleared the obstacles in front and went straight to the south gate. As they ran, they shouted to Huang Jichang: "Huang Jichang! Come here and find your grandpa!"
Huang Jichang was furious and ordered his team to turn around and fight towards the south gate. Just after running not far away, he suddenly heard someone in the team shouting: "The enemy is attacking! The enemy is attacking!"
Huang Jichang turned around in a hurry and saw more than a hundred archers pouring out of the meeting hall. There was a sound of bowstrings and a dense rain of arrows. The cavalry team at the end of the Chu tribe had just turned their horses and was caught off guard. Dozens of them were hit by arrows and fell off their horses.
Huang Jichang was filled with hatred and shouted angrily: "Ji Lu! Take the four hundred people behind you and kill them! The rest come with me!"
The four hundred horsemen who were separated, led by the one-eyed dragon Huang Jilu, quickly dispersed. The team rushed towards the meeting hall in a fan shape. The archers fired another round of arrows, killing more than ten horsemen, and quickly ran into the meeting hall and closed the door. .
Huang Jilu was attacked by this gang and lost dozens of people. He was so angry that he quickly got off his horse, led his men to break open the door, and rushed in with a bright machete. At this time, the spacious meeting hall was empty and there was no one. , the hall has a back door, and the back door is open. The large pillars in the hall and the beams above have been cut with deep cracks by knives. A thick hemp rope is tied to the crack, and one end of the hemp rope extends out of the back door.
"Moo...moo"
At this time, there was a burst of cattle braying, the hemp rope was tightened, and the pillars began to shake. There was a "crack" sound, the pillars and beams broke one after another, and there was a loud "rumbling" sound, and the conference hall collapsed. At this time, intruders More than two hundred soldiers from the Chu tribe came. The ruins were filled with cries of ghosts and screams. There were still more than a hundred people who did not rush in. They were all stunned. The sudden turn of events made them all dumbfounded.
There was a "whoosh" sound, and a rain of arrows poured out from the flying dust. The Chu soldiers who were not buried were hit by arrows and fell to the ground. A group of people suddenly appeared from the dust like ghosts, raising their swords to attack. As the soldiers of the Chu tribe slashed fiercely, the house suddenly collapsed. The legs and hearts of the people and horses outside the Chu tribe trembled. They were no match for these wolf-like warriors. They were chopped down one after another. Four hundred people from the Chu tribe were chopped down one after another. The team suffered heavy casualties.
Here Huang Jichang led more than a thousand horses to attack Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei's more than 500 horses had all blocked the south gate. With their backs against the city wall, they started a fierce battle with Huang Jichang's more than 1,000 people. Although Huang Jichang was outnumbered, Unfortunately, the south gate was too small to be deployed. The Wei troops retracted their defense lines to form a fan-shaped protective circle. Huang Jichang's men could not separate and surround them, and could only fight each other face to face.
Zhang Wei and Huang Jichang were fighting each other. Zhang Wei stabbed Huang Jichang with his knife. Huang Jichang turned his head and dodged. The knife in his hand was swept towards Zhang Wei's waist. Zhang Wei lowered his head and leaned on the horse. He narrowly avoided it. With a turn of his wrist, the knife was thrown. Changing from a straight stab to a horizontal slash, Huang Jichang returned his sword to block it. With a "clang" sound, the two swords struck each other, and then he swung his swords to slash at each other. The two swords connected, each holding the handle of the sword with both hands, and pressing towards the other party with all his strength. , there was a stalemate for a moment, Huang Jichang's face turned purple, his teeth "clacked", and he tried his best to resist Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei was so angry that he slowly pressed towards Huang Jichang like a mountain bearing down on him.
