In Yangcheng, Xie Xuan, Han Qinhu and others had received the news in advance, and when the first wave of soldiers and horses arrived to protect the imperial driver, they came out to greet him.
As for the fighting generals not long ago, Yang Ye and Yang Dayan fought each other for more than a hundred rounds without a winner. The first battle between generals ended in an anticlimactic manner.
Under normal circumstances, Xia's army should take advantage of the situation to pursue when the generals had the upper hand. However, Jiangling's military order had been sent at this time, so Xie Xuan gave up this idea.
"The general has met your majesty!"
Xie Xuan came with his generals to pay homage. Wang Jing waved his hand and asked everyone to stand up.
Without saying anything else, he let the other party lead the way up the city wall.
At this time, the Han army had already withdrawn its troops, and the camps stretching for dozens of miles could not be seen at a glance. "You have contacted the main force of the Han army. What is their strength?"
Wang Jing turned around and asked.
Xie Xuan thought for a moment and replied: "The Han army is well-organized and has a strong momentum. It is an elite division. Even if our generals are stronger than the opponent, if we want to defeat the opponent in a decisive battle, it will be difficult to do so!" "
Over the years, Wang Jing has led his troops on expeditions and has repeatedly won decisive battles with the enemy. Each decisive battle can determine the success or failure of a force. A big victory can push the opponent to the brink of collapse, and then there is no need to start another war. Easily defeating the opponent....but this time it's different.
The Han army was also an elite division, and was led by a famous general in history. Its overall strength was not much weaker than that of the Xia army.
The only advantage Xia Jun had at this time was that he had three heavenly warriors under his command, and both of them were invincible generals who were good at charging into battle and specialized in fighting.
After hearing this, Wang Jing nodded slightly.
He actually had a hunch in his heart that even if he could win this decisive battle with the Han army, the losses of his army would not be small.
It is different from the previous complete victory with very low casualties.
"Some people say that the Han Dynasty died due to force. There is some truth in this saying. Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Han army has had more victories than defeats. Even when the dynasty is about to collapse, any separatist army can defeat the Yi and Di at will. ...The Three Rivers and Five Schools of the Eastern Han Dynasty are famous all over the world..."
"Since the founding of our army, our army has been invincible in all directions, but we cannot be careless in the face of the Han army. The Han army is a formidable enemy!"
"Since they are powerful enemies, we should pay great attention to them and not give them the opportunity to accumulate strength and superimpose advantages!" Wang Jing said slowly.
As long as we can win this decisive battle, it is even worth using the Xia army to defeat the Han army in exchange for the complete destruction of the Han army. If we can really do this, not only can Jingchu be stabilized, but we can also take advantage of the situation and go north to capture Xiangyang...
Of course, the odds are slim.
Wang Jing didn't intend to eat a fat man in one sitting, he didn't have such a big appetite. "What your Majesty said is true!"
Fu Youde, Shi Wansui, Yang Zaixing and others were all following Wang Jing, and all the generals heard the determination in Wang Jing's words. Extremely far away.
In the void above the Han army camp, the strong military momentum and the fierce evil energy merged with each other, and were shrouded and condensed by the military formation, forming a powerful suppressive force. A ninth-level strongman who can activate the vitality of heaven and earth can only slightly activate some of the power of heaven and earth. , unable to pose a threat to the camp.
This is also normal.
If the military camp does not even have the ability to suppress the strong, then in the future, when the two armies fight, they can randomly send out a ninth-level strongman, use the law to induce the vitality of a dozen miles around, and use the vitality to activate martial arts and magical powers, and he can destroy tens of thousands of people with one move. Camp.
Then who dares to send a large army to fight?
Although strong men in the human and earth realms without restrictions cannot reach the level of the heavenly realm in destroying armies and cities, they are also gods and demons that ordinary soldiers cannot defeat.
Wang Jing secretly activated his Dharma Eyes and looked towards the Han army camp.
The Han army's camp was shrouded in red aura and military formations, and he could feel the murderous intent hiding in it. Wang Jing secretly sensed that if he fell into the Han army's camp, it would be difficult to get out.
When he saw the Han army's military formation, a faint crisis automatically arose in his heart.
"If we were in Jinling City, I wouldn't be afraid even if there were two or three heavenly realms. But on the battlefield, there is no home field.
Advantage, if I rush into battle and get surrounded, I might also be surrounded and killed! "
Such thoughts flashed through Wang Jing's mind, and he immediately gave up the idea of going into battle in person.
In other words, his idea of going into battle in person was just a thought, but now he is more certain. The king has the hope of the world and must avoid even the slightest danger. Now there is no need for Wang Jing to follow Li Shimin's example and lead the charge...
Xia Jun's follow-up troops came in a steady stream.
Dangyang City simply could not accommodate such a large army. Except for some who entered the city, other soldiers and horses were stationed on the bank of Zhangshui in the southeast. Some warships swam upstream, and they were horns with the soldiers and horses on the shore.
Such a big movement had already alerted the spies of the Han army.
Feng Yi, Jia Fu, Liu Muzhi and others all looked a little unhappy after hearing the news that Xia Jun was marching northward. "The Xia army is indeed full of heroes. It seems that someone has seen our army's plan!"
Feng Yi sighed slightly.
In fact, the high-level civil and military officials of the Han Army and the Xia Army are top figures in history.
Whether it is marching and forming, commanding on the spot, or making plans, there are top talents. The calculations between each other can be guessed and inferred by the other party as long as they make a slight movement.
Just like Liu Bowen deduced the Han army's plan.
Now Feng Yi also immediately realized Xia Jun's plan... In the eyes of a truly wise person, it would be difficult to conceal any of the other party's actions. When the two sides play against each other, it is almost like a bright card.
In fact, this is also a normal situation for the top dynasties in the world of China to compete against each other.
For example, in the Qin Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Jian and Wei Qing faced each other. One was one of the four famous generals of the Warring States Period. He was a top general who used troops cautiously and had a record of destroying countries. The other was known as the Flying General of Dragon City and was also undefeated.
When these two top players faced off, no matter in terms of commanding experience or personal ability, it was almost impossible to deceive them with any clever tricks. This is the case in the world of China. Two famous generals compete with each other, and in the end they can only stalemate. You go back and forth, and it is difficult to defeat each other in a short period of time.
The only way to defeat such an opponent is to rely on more armies, stronger national power, and a head-on collision with famous generals of the same level.
Feng Yi's ability is not weak either. If he joins forces with Jia Fu, he can defeat most of his opponents in the Chinese world.
If Wang Jing did not have a chariot to fight in person, but instead used Fu Youde as the main general, and Xie Xuan, Shi Wansui and others as assistants... Such a combination could remain undefeated, but it would be very difficult to win.
Xia Jun's current advantage is that Wang Jing personally conquered and brought half of Xia Jun's elite. "Disaster!"
Feng Yi felt a lot of pressure on his heart. I feel that the best result of this trip south is to return without success...
Xia Jun arrived so quickly that Feng Yi, Jia Fu and others had no time to respond. They ordered to mobilize troops and horses, which also took time. Feng Yi did not think that his opponents would not give him time to adjust.
the next day.
The sky was slightly brighter, the morning sun appeared, and the warm sunshine filled the earth. The roaring drums resounded throughout the world, shattering the silence of the morning, and the gate of Dangyang City creaked open.
Bingzhou cavalry and white horse cavalry took the lead in rushing out to clear the way for the following army to leave the city. The men who commanded the two elite cavalry were Han Qinhu and Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao was sent by He Ruobi to Jiangling to serve in the imperial court. He also followed Wang Jing to Dangyang. He had also commanded the white horse cavalry before and had qualifications and experience.
With his strong strength, Han Qinhu was also recognized by the Bingzhou Cavalry. Qi is like a tiger and horse is like a dragon.
The sound of the hooves of the two cavalrymen rushing out seemed to break through the mountains and rivers. The Han army in the distance immediately responded when the cavalry left the city. Within a moment, General Ma Wu led the Sanhe cavalry to also rush out.
From reacting to the noise to leading the troops out of the camp, the overall speed will not exceed one stick of incense. This kind of gathering speed is definitely the best among the best.
The cavalry on both sides did not fight immediately. Their task was to monitor each other and prepare for surprise attacks. Will not take action easily. Boom boom!
The Han army camp also sounded the war drum call for gathering troops.
After a long time. strong wind blowing
After crossing the wilderness, the fierce army was already arrayed in the wilderness. The strong wind blew through the flags, and the flags were flapping. "Master Xia's Dragon Banner! Wang Jing actually came to Dangyang in person!"
Feng Yi, Jia Fu and others stood on the chariot in the military formation. When they saw the dragon flag canopy erected on the top of Dangyang City, their expressions couldn't help but change.
Not to mention anything else, it can be seen that Xia Jun attaches great importance to this battle just from the fact that Lord Xia personally came to the front line to take charge. In comparison.
The Han army only dispatched Feng Yi and Jia Fu, which seemed a bit too much. However, Feng Yi, Jia Fu, Ma Wu, Gai Yan, who was stationed in Hanchuan, as well as Liu Laozhi, Yang Ye and other famous generals, so many famous generals With the generals gathering together, it’s not like they’re looking down on their opponents, right?
Four or five famous Yuntai generals and generals from other eras combined, as well as the Shu army, should defeat any opponent... But Feng Yi did not have the confidence in his heart at this time.
Woohoo!
The trumpet sounded, and the large banner representing the command of the Chinese army appeared in the Xia army formation. The commander was naturally Fu Youde.
After he appeared, the unparalleled aura that had broken through to the heavenly realm combined with the mighty army roared into the sky, shaking the sky. In the void that ordinary people could not see, the invisible energy was constantly rotating with him as the center.
"Heavenly Realm..."
Jia Fu's face suddenly sank. One heaven was no problem, but two heavens joined forces. The most he could do was delay...
He is known as a warrior who can dash thousands of miles, but this only refers to his style, not that he is truly an invincible warrior. At least, it cannot be compared with people like Yang Zaixing and Yuwen Chengdu.
call!
After Fu Youde showed his unparalleled aura, Yuwen Chengdu and Yang Zaixing also stood up, one holding a phoenix-wing gold-plated iron gun, and the other holding a Huntian Iron Spear.
In an instant, the vitality of heaven and earth, which had been suppressed by the military formations of both sides until it became stagnant, suddenly vibrated. Thunderclouds of purple lightning suddenly appeared in the sky, as well as red flames of red evil energy.
Ordinary ninth-level people cannot activate the power of heaven and earth under the suppression of two large formations composed of hundreds of thousands of armies. However, as soon as their minds move, they automatically respond to heaven and earth. This is the response of the power of law and the origin of heaven and earth.
Even a highly oppressive military formation cannot stop it. At this time.
Feng Yi and Jia Fu felt cold in their hearts. Because the opponent appeared in three heavenly realms, not one, not two, but three!
"General, you need to make plans early!" Jia Fu moved his lips slightly and sent a message to Feng Yi.
Feng Yi forced himself to calm down and said, "Don't worry, you can use all your strength to hold down one of them. I will use my military formation to gather the power of 400,000 troops and add Yang Ye to hold off another one in a short time."
"The last one... can only exchange blood for blood, and exchange life for time!"
The Han army is not hopeless.
As long as they can hold out for two days, there is a high chance that Luoyang's generals will arrive to help, and the Han army will still have a chance to defeat the opponent.
Fu Youde did not give the Han army time.
After he appeared in the central army's banner, he looked at the sky and waved his command flag. The elite Beifu soldiers among the Xia army formed a battle formation and took the lead in advancing forward.
boom! boom!
Thirty thousand Beifu troops carried short spears on their backs, or held swords, shields, or spears. Dozens of them formed a small formation. Several small formations formed a central formation, and each of the central formations gathered into a large formation.
After being trained by Xie Xuan, this elite soldier experienced several battles and tempered its indestructible edge in the flames of war.
Elite soldiers stepped forward one by one, their footsteps were so orderly that the ground seemed to be shaking. "Changshui and Zhongbao headquarters, prepare to meet the enemy!"
Feng Yi responded immediately, waving the command flag and mobilizing troops.
From the original intention, Feng Yi did not want to fight with the Xia army in the wild at all, but the Xia army came out in full force. If he did not accept the attack, the Han army would be constantly approached by the opponent, and in the end he would be forced to face the enemy.
When two armies face each other and one of them wants a decisive battle, it will be difficult to refuse if the opponent does not have a strong city to rely on. Among the Han troops. There are also two elites that stand out from the crowd.
These are the two divisions of the Han Army's Three Rivers and Five Schools: Zhongli and Changshui. Among them, Zhongli is the infantry, and Changshui is
It's light infantry plus crossbowmen... When the two work together, they can compete with any top unit.
shoot!
The Beifu army came forward and approached. Both sides shot at their positions. The next moment, the archers, under the cover of shields, released arrows that covered the sky and the sun.
Whoosh whoosh! Every arrow can penetrate gold and jade.
The elites of both sides, with the blessing of their own unique military formations, were protected by Gang Qi, and the arrows they shot also had the sharpness and piercing power of Gang Qi.
Ordinary infantry, even if they are wearing iron armor, will be easily penetrated by arrows for seven or eight people in a row. Only elites of the same level can block it by attaching Gang Qi to their shields.
ah!
Even though they were protected by Gang Qi, some unlucky soldiers were still hit by the dense armor-piercing arrows and fell to the ground screaming.
When one fell, the elites behind him would take advantage of the situation to make up for it, and the entire military formation showed no signs of sluggishness.
After the bows and arrows were exchanged, the elite infantry of the two armies approached, each with murderous eyes and low roars. boom!
It was like two torrents colliding fiercely, splashing out boundless waves. It's just that these waves are made of the flesh and blood of each soldier.
Almost instantly, the elites of the Han Army and the Xia Army, two special arms, were like sharp weapons, piercing into the opponent's military formation.
"kill!"
After the two armies began to collide, Yang Zaixing roared wildly, rose into the air with a spear in hand, and locked eyes with Jia Fu from a distance with a murderous intent...
