Yuan Lang is known as the red-faced tiger. He comes from a rough background and has an irrepressible impulse in his character. On the battlefield, this impulse can make him charge forward without hesitation. But sometimes, this impulse can bring him great danger.
Just like now, Yuan Lang defected to Daxia and soon made great achievements. Rushing at the front, after being ambushed and disturbed, Gao Siji immediately seized the opportunity.
Gao Siji is known as the white horse and the silver spear. Although his strength cannot be compared with Li Cunxiao during the Five Dynasties period in history, he is also one of the best generals during the same period. His charge into battle is somewhat like Zhao Yun's style.
His figure and the silver gun merged into one, reaching its limit and pointing directly at Yuan Lang's throat. The invisible murderous intention from across the air shook Yuan Lang's mind.
"not good!"
Yuan Lang's strength is not considered tyrannical even in the ninth-level human realm. Facing Gao Siji's surprise attack, his complexion suddenly changed, his red face boiled with energy and blood, he roared and used all his strength, and a red head seemed to form all over his body. Tiger, the weapons in his hands are like the claws of a red tiger, tearing the void and resisting the stabbing edge.
Uh-huh!
Gao Siji's silver spear seemed to blend into the void. Yuan Lang mobilized all his strength to defend, but it was useless in front of this spear.
I saw a bit of edge containing the law of the void, which suddenly disappeared when it was about to collide with Yuan Lang's weapon. The next moment, the edge of the spear had already pierced Yuan Lang's throat.
puff! Blood splattered. The power contained in the spear exploded, Yuan Lang's burly figure suddenly stopped, his head flew up, and blood essence flowed from his neck into the void...
With his head gone, it is useless no matter how strong Yuan Lang's physical body is or how tenacious his vitality is. I saw a stream of light passing through the void.
Yuan Lang was also a ninth-level military general. When he fell, his own starlight appeared. However, the celestial phenomenon when he died was simply incomparable to the celestial phenomena when historical figures fell.
The expressions of Zhou Tai, Ding Feng and others who were rushing forward changed when they saw this, and they subconsciously slowed down their pursuit. The Xia Army warship rushing forward following Yuan Lang was also affected when Yuan Lang fell.
After Yuan Lang's body began to fall, the aftermath of the bombardment began to vibrate and spread in the void. The sound shook all directions. "The thief is seeking death!"
When He Ruobi, who was chasing Zhou Yu in the distance, saw this scene, his chest burst with anger. Now the Xia Army's navy repelled the Han army and won the water battle.
It's just that this battle against the Xia army was not a great victory, because the Han navy retained most of its vitality. Such a result made He Ruozhou a little dissatisfied and in a bad mood.
In this case, the generals under his command were attacked and killed by the enemy. How could the Xia army call it a victory? A ninth-level general is more important than a less critical victory.
He Ruobi's eyes contained murderous intent, and he stared at Gao Siji. Taking advantage of Zhou Yu's constant defense and being unable to fight back, Chang Shan made a move, and the void exploded. Infinite divine power attached to the edge, turning into an earth-shattering rainbow, heading towards Blast and kill from a distance. "Form up!"
Han generals Dou Xian and Liu Laozhi mobilized their divine power, and the warships of the Han navy immediately connected with each other, forming a formation containing wind and fire. The wind and fire formation formed a blue-red light curtain, blocking Gao Siji's path.
The next moment, with a bang, the wind and fire array exploded.
Gao Siji was blasted hundreds of feet by the violent divine power and fell heavily into the water.
With a roll of Dou Xian's divine power, Gao Siji was pulled out of the water. After the military formation was weakened, although Gao Siji was severely injured, he barely retained some vitality.
He Ruobi's change of attack target also gave Zhou Yu a chance to breathe and recover.
Zhou Yu turned into a red rainbow light and landed on the Han warship. After breathing a few breaths, he immediately took over the power of the navy and took charge of the navy's wind and fire formation.
The auras of a large number of Han soldiers were absorbed and condensed. After the transformation of the military formation, they drew the power of the laws of heaven and earth, expanded and amplified, and made the already tyrannical military formation even more magnificent.
With Zhou Yu in charge, the defense of the entire Han navy was increased several times, and even He Ruobi could not break it for a while. While fighting and retreating, the Han navy had already retreated into the water stronghold.
The Han army's water stronghold and the Zhangshan mountain next to it were surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there was another military formation containing hidden murderous intentions. ; The blessing of two major formations caused the front of the Xia army to stop their pursuit.
He Ruobi returned to the Five-Tooth Ship, with anger still lingering on his face.
"The Han navy has Zhou Yu in command, which should not be underestimated. It's a pity that Zhou Yu was not retained just now!" Although He Ruobi was angry, he had to admit Zhou Yu's accomplishments in water warfare.
Deng Yu said: "The general manager is right, but our army has the overall advantage. Even if there is a small setback today, it will not affect the overall situation! General Yue has captured Jingmen, and he can block Zhongxiang if he goes further..."
"Even if our army does not take the initiative to attack, the Han navy will still find an opportunity to retreat!"
He Ruobi glanced at Deng Yu. He admitted that the other party was right, but he just watched the Han navy retreat safely. He would never tolerate this happening.
"It is not that easy for the Han army to withdraw! General Deng, lead your troops ashore and attack Zhangshan first. I will lead the navy to contain Zhou Yu's main force..."
He Ruobi changed his offensive strategy and immediately gave the order.
The Han army's water stronghold echoed Zhangshan from a distance, so he would first capture Zhangshan, and then from a high position, use various instruments developed by the Ministry of Industry of Daxia to bombard the Han army's water stronghold.
With such a land and water attack, Zhou Yu can't do anything no matter how powerful his water battle is. ...
While He Ruobi and Zhou Yu were fighting back and forth, the main force of the West Road Camp continued northward, attacking the city and plundering territory all the way into Yiyang. After receiving this news.
As Deng Yu said, the Han navy's retreat was threatened and they did not dare to quarrel with the Xia navy. After the fall of Zhangshan, Zhou Yu left some troops and horses and warships behind, and decisively led the remaining navy all the way. Breakout.
Of the 300,000 trained naval forces, after fighting with the Xia army, only a little over 200,000 were left.
Such a battle damage ratio... that is to say, all the navy soldiers were unable to escape on the warship. Otherwise, Zhou Yu's ability to command troops would not be able to make these newly trained soldiers continue to obey orders.
November 7, the tenth year of Taichu.
The army of more than one million people marching on the West Road of Daxia was like a torrent sweeping everything, wiping out some of the cities and military fortresses blocking the way.
The layers of defenses set up by the Han army on the southern perimeter of Xiangyang were like eggs crushed by stones in front of such a mighty army and could not stop them at all.
Even Yicheng, the strongest city south of Xiangyang, fell when Yang Zaixing and Yuwen Chengdu, the two great heavenly realm god generals, personally charged into the formation. The Han army did not defend and chose to follow its original strategy of fighting and retreating.
finally.
The West Route Army's army of more than one million troops approached Xiangyang City in early November.
At this time, in Xiangyang City, Feng Yi mobilized generals and troops from Nanyang, Yingchuan and other places, as well as reinforcements from the Shu Han Dynasty who came to support via the Han River...
