Chapter 2017 Battle against Xingtian (Part 2)
Chapter 2015: Battle against Xingtian (Part 2)
Outside the Qin army's camp, Xing Tian led three thousand cavalrymen and was scolding the Qin army outside the camp to provoke the Qin army to come out to fight.
Langzhong cavalry existed in history and played a great role in the Chu-Han struggle for hegemony. They made great contributions to Liu Ji's unification of the world. They are currently the only elite cavalry under Liu Ji's command.
The Langzhong Cavalry was originally from the Yulin Army of the Han Dynasty. It was the "entrepreneurship fund" given to his son by Liu Hong when Liu Jicai took office as the governor of Bajun.
The Langzhong's cavalry only had a thousand cavalry at the beginning. Later, they accompanied Liu Ji all the way in the battles and continued to grow in strength. The defeat of Chi You was the famous battle of the Langzhong's cavalry.
Now the Langzhong Cavalry has a lineup of 5,000 people. Liu Ji is worried that the too rapid expansion of the army will affect the combat effectiveness of the Langzhong Cavalry. Otherwise, the Langzhong Cavalry would have already exceeded 10,000 people.
There is also a saying that has been circulating in the Kingdom of Shu: There are only two cavalry in the Kingdom of Shu, one is the Langzhong Cavalry, and the other is the Reserve of the Langzhong Cavalry.
The implication is that, except for the Langzhong’s cavalry, all other cavalry in Shu are the reserve army of the Langzhong’s cavalry.
However, this is also true. Once the Langzhong's cavalry is damaged, elites will be selected from other cavalry battalions and added to the Langzhong's cavalry to ensure the combat effectiveness of the Langzhong's cavalry.
This is also the main reason why the rest of the Shu cavalry army is not strong in combat effectiveness. After all, the soldiers with strong combat effectiveness have been transferred to the Langzhong cavalry.
Xingtian did not bring ordinary cavalry, but the Langzhong cavalry to challenge. Naturally, if he brought ordinary cavalry, if the Qin general did not go to fight, but directly sent cavalry to fight, those cavalry who had not been in the army for a short time might not be able to escape. He had to lose, but Langzhong's cavalry was able to escape the Qin army's pursuit.
The soldiers of the Shu-Chu coalition were cursing war, and at the same time there were sharp archers shooting arrows, and they also shot down the flagpole of the Qin army, hoping to use this method to provoke the Qin army to fight.
The marksman who shot down the Qin army's flagpole was naturally not Hou Yi, but Liu Xiu's general, Wang Bodang. After all, such a trivial matter would not require Hou Yi, the number one marksman of the Han Dynasty, to take action.
After Wang Boxiang shot down eighteen shots of the Qin army, the Shu army once again burst into cheers and insulted the Qin army and Yue Feilai even more unscrupulously. The soldiers in the camp were so angry that they gritted their teeth but could do nothing.
The Shu army was right. If someone in the Qin army could defeat Xing Tian, they would not have lost three times in a row before.
“Brother Xingtian, I think Yue Fei doesn’t dare to fight.” Kuafu laughed.
Xingtian did not come to challenge alone. Even if he had the courage to come, Liu Ji would not let him do anything wrong. After all, even if the reinforcements did not arrive, there were not many masters in the Qin army. If they attacked in groups, they might not be unable to defeat Xingtian.
It is precisely for this reason that Liu Jicai sent Kuafu, Houyi, Fan Kuai and other generals to come together, while Liu Xiu also sent Chong Heihu, Ma Yuan, Wang Bodang and other generals to assist in the battle. This was to prevent the Qin army from being unjust. Bullying the few with more.
Liu Ji's idea is very simple. The decisive battle is about to begin. Let Xing Tian come to challenge first and kill several Qin generals to weaken the morale of the Qin army. The subsequent decisive battle will be relatively easy.
After hearing Kuafu’s words, Xingtian frowned and said, “If that’s true, wouldn’t this trip have been in vain again?”
Obviously this is not the first time Xingtian has fought, nor is it the first time Yue Fei has refused to fight. It must have happened more than once before.
"Don't worry, two brothers, the Qin army's reinforcements have arrived and their morale is high. And our army comes to challenge now. If Yue Fei doesn't dare to challenge us, doesn't it mean that he is afraid of us? The morale of the Qin army will definitely drop greatly because of this. .
So, even if he knew he was outmatched, Yue Fei would still fight. This is related to the subsequent decisive battle. Hou Yi said calmly.
“That makes sense.”
Kuafu nodded, and then his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Look, Yue Fei is out." After hearing this, everyone looked at Qin Ying, and saw Yue Fei surrounded by other generals. The horses slowly emerged from the camp.
After seeing the visitor, Xingtian and Kuafu had no reaction, but Houyi's pupils shrank sharply.
Xingtian Kuafu had never fought against the main force of the Qin army, so he naturally did not know Jiang Song, Zhao Yun and others, but Hou Yi did.
Hou Yi belonged to Dong Zhuo's side in the war against Dong, and helped Dong Zhuo fight against the Kwantung Allied Forces. He knew all the masters of the Qin Army.
When Hou Yi saw Jiang Song and Yu Wen in Chengdu, he knew about this battle. If he wanted to kill generals and make meritorious deeds, it might not be that easy to suppress the morale of the Qin army.
“Be careful, Jiang Song and Yuwen are coming from Chengdu.” Hou Yi warned in a low voice.
Xing Tian's eyes lit up. Although he didn't know Jiang Song and Yu Wen Chengdu, he had heard their names and knew that these two were world-famous masters. They were definitely not comparable to the likes of Pei Yuanqing and Yue Yun. He immediately felt a strong desire to fight. rise.
Among the opponents Xing Tian has fought so far, except for Li Yuanba and Chi You, no one can challenge him in a one-on-one fight. Although it feels good to win a one-on-one duel with multiple opponents, he still enjoys the pleasure of defeating opponents of the same level.
As soon as he thought of this, Xing Tian immediately rode forward, pointed the ax in his hand at Yue Fei, and laughed and said: "Yue Fei, you are such a shy turtle, now you finally dare to fight."
Yue Fei ignored Xing Tian. When he saw that Hou Yi, Kua Fu and other generals were coming with Xing Tian, a dignified look suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he asked Jiang Song beside him: "Brother Yongnian, if you face Xing Tian, why don't you fight alone?" Are you sure you can win if you fight alone?”
Yue Fei naturally doesn't want to fight in a group fight if he can win in a single fight. After all, even if he wins in a group fight, it's not something to be proud of. Currently, the only people who can defeat Xing Tian in a single fight are those with the strength in the entire army. The strongest Jiang Song was relieved.
While Xingtian was observing Jiang Song, Jiang Song was also observing him. Just by looking at his aura, Jiang Song knew that Xingtian's skill was better than his own, but skill did not represent combat power at all.
Jiang Song thought for a while and said truthfully: "Xingtian's skill is better than mine. I need to observe Xingtian's moves at the end, otherwise I will not be sure of winning."
Hearing this, Yue Fei breathed a sigh of relief. He actually knew that Xing Tian was stronger than Jiang Song, but he was definitely not much stronger. If he first consumed his strength with a wheel battle, and then Jiang Song defeated him, this would be considered a one-on-one duel. Defeat it.
The Jingzhou Qin Army has been defeated by Xing Tian too many times, and now it doesn't matter what method it is. As long as it can be defeated, any method can be used.
“In this case, let’s send someone else to explore the situation first.”
After saying that, Yue Fei glanced at the generals around him and asked: "In the battle against Xingtian, safety comes first. At least four people must join forces and fight together. Which four generals are willing to fight against Xingtian first?"
When the three Huang Tianhua brothers met each other, they all looked eager to give it a try, but there was someone who reacted faster than them.
“Why do we need four people to join forces? Two of my senior brothers are enough.” Zheng Lun shouted.
Second update, the monthly ticket exceeded 400 plus more updates, and I still owe 6 chapters.
