Chapter 2016 Battle against Xingtian (Part 1)
Chapter 2014: Battle against Xingtian (Part 1)
The arrival of Han Xin's 70,000 Hebei Army and Zhao Jun's 30,000 Hetao Army brought the total strength of the Qin Army on the front line to 170,000. Although it was still less than the Shu-Chu Allied Army, the gap in strength had narrowed to only 30,000. .
Although the Qin army was 30,000 fewer than the coalition army, Yue Fei was still sure of victory, and his confidence naturally lay in the cavalry.
With the addition of Zhao Yun's 30,000 Hetao cavalry, the total number of Qin army's cavalry increased to 40,000.
Although the total number of cavalry of the Shu-Chu coalition was 35,000, their combat power was not comparable to that of the Qin army.
Zhao Yun's 30,000 Hetao cavalry are elite cavalry that gallop on the grasslands. They have defeated Yuanmeng cavalry, Xiliang cavalry and other powerful armies. It can be said without politeness that they are one of the top cavalry in the world.
The cavalry formed by Shu and Chu has not been established for a long time, and has never fought hard battles. The cavalry tactics of the third cavalry are still in the past. There is still a long way to go before they can become fine cavalry. How could it be possible? The opponent of the Hetao Cavalry.
Yue Fei used to be able to compete head-on with the 30,000 coalition cavalry with 3,000 Wei troops and 7,000 Jingzhou cavalry. Now that the total number of cavalry under his command has soared to 40,000, how could he lose to the 35,000 coalition cavalry?
Of course, apart from Han Xin, whose cavalry and military skills were not weaker than his own, among the reinforcements, the ones that Yue Fei liked the most were the fierce generals such as Jiang Song, Yuwen Chengdu, and Zhao Yun.
Why was the Qin army always suppressed by the Shu-Chu coalition forces before? In addition to being at an absolute disadvantage in terms of military strength, the Qin army was also far inferior to the coalition forces in terms of generals.
There are two super-god generals and two god-of-war generals on the Shu-Chu side, namely Xingtian, Houyi, Kuafu under Liu Ji's account, and Chong Heihu under Liu Xiu's account.
The Qin Army only has two war gods, Yue Yun and Pei Yuanqing. Even if the general Yue Fei is included, there are only three war gods.
In addition, although there were Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Wenpin, Yang Zaixing and others in the Qin army in Jingzhou, there were also fierce generals such as Peng Yue, Fan Kuai, Ma Yuan and Wei Wentong in the coalition army.
The number of generals at the level of divine generals is about the same on both sides, but in terms of top generals, the coalition army is much stronger than the Qin army.
Xingtian alone is an opponent that Yue Yun, Pei Yuanqing, Qin Yong, and Xiong Tianqing cannot defeat together. If a war breaks out, who will be the one to resist the other enemy generals?
In the Battle of Jingbei, the Qin army suffered more casualties than the Allied forces. In addition to having fewer troops than the Allied forces, one of the reasons was that its generals were not as good as the Allied forces.
Now Han Xin has arrived in Jingbei with reinforcements, and there are many masters among the reinforcements.
There are not only the two super **** generals Jiang Song and Yuwen Chengdu, but also the four war gods Zhao Yun, Huang Tianhua, Huang Tianxiang, and Huang Tianlu. In addition, there are also **** generals such as Huang Zhong, Zheng Lun, and Chen Qi.
Let's put it this way, the Qin army was originally at a disadvantage in terms of generals, but with the addition of generals from Han Xin's reinforcements, the final shortcomings were completely made up. Naturally, there was nothing to fear from the Shu-Chu coalition.
Yue Fei wanted to take the lead immediately after hosting the reception banquet for Han Xin, but before he could take action, the Chu-Shu coalition took the initiative to attack.
“The Governor, General Xingtian of Shu has led an army of three thousand and is calling for formation outside the camp.”
Hearing this, Yue Fei and Han Xin put down their wine glasses at the same time. Han Xin said: "I heard that Xing Tian, the most powerful general in the Shu Kingdom, is ranked fourth on the general list, but his strength is not weaker than that of the second or third. I don't know what this rumor is. True or false.”
Yue Fei replied with a serious face: "Although Xingtian lost to Li Yuanba before, the gap in strength between the two is actually not big. Now that Xingtian has made another breakthrough, his strength is even better than before, but now it is difficult to compare."
Yue Fei's bad comparison refers to the fact that Xing Tian's strength has improved, while Li Yuanba has retreated due to his broken arm, implying that Li Yuanba is no longer Xing Tian's opponent.
“In the past several battles with the enemy, our army used all its mighty generals, fighting one in four battles, one in five battles, and even one in seven battles, but we still could not defeat Xing Tian…”
Four against one refers to the first battle between the Four Strong Eight Hammers and Xing Tian. The Four Strong Eight Hammers were defeated miserably. If Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong had not provided timely support, someone would have died on the spot. Although no one died in this battle, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong were seriously injured and could no longer endure a fierce battle, so Yue Fei transferred Qin Qiong to the rear to guard Xinye.
Five to one battle, in addition to the four fierce and eight hammers, even Yue Fei himself also took action, but it was still useless, and he was no match against the power of five people.
After seven battles, the four fierce and eight hammers came first to consume Xing Tian's energy. Then Yue Fei, Yang Zaixing, and Wenpin attacked, hoping to take advantage of the situation to defeat Xing Tian, but Xing Tian was not without helpers, so in the end He failed in high school, and General Wenpin even quit due to serious injuries.
At this point, a trace of hatred flashed in Yue Fei's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It is precisely because of Xing Tian that our army paid a very heavy price. Unless this man dies, Jingzhou will never have peace."
Hearing Yue Fei's words, all the reinforcements took a deep breath.
The surrendered generals did not know how powerful Yue Fei, Pei Yuanqing and others were, so they were not deeply impressed by what Yue Fei said. However, veteran generals such as Jiang Song, Yuwen Chengdu, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong knew it.
Yue Fei, Yue Yun, Pei Yuanqing, Yang Zaixing and others are not weak in strength. So many masters can't defeat Xingtian even if they join forces? This level of combat power is simply appalling.
Even Jiang Song, the strongest among the generals, couldn't withstand the siege of so many masters, but Xing Tian resisted, which shows that Xing Tian's strength is still superior to Jiang Song, and the Qin army can defeat him in a duel. I'm afraid the only one is Li Cunxiao.
“There are such masters in the small country of Shu.” Han Xin couldn’t help but admired.
Yue Fei shook his head and said: "Xingtian, like Hou Yi, was a great leader of the Han Dynasty during the late emperor's time, not a local fierce general in Yizhou."
Han Xin's face condensed, "First Emperor?" This was a person he didn't want to mention. No one had mentioned it to him for a long time, but he didn't expect to mention him here today.
Han Xin once wanted to help the passionate young man of the Han Dynasty. He fought hard for the Han Dynasty and Xianbei on the front line, but he was betrayed by the monarch Liu Hong. He had obviously won the battle and made great achievements, but this foolish emperor wanted to use his life to please Xianbei.
As soon as this incident came out, Han Xin no longer had any loyalty to the Han Dynasty, and he hated Liu Hong even more.
To this day, Liu Hong has long since died, the Han Dynasty has been divided into many countries, and Xianbei has been destroyed by Yuan, Meng and Manchu, but Han Xin is still alive and well.
"Liu Hong, the score between you and me is not settled. Since I can't take revenge on you, I'll settle the score on your son." Han Xinzhong sneered.
At this moment, Han Xinxin was even more grateful to Li Jing. If he hadn't asked him to lead his army south to support Jingzhou, I'm afraid he would never have a chance to take revenge in his life.
