Episode 204: Brave is strong
"I'm about to learn your Excellency's tricks!" Seeing Tai Shici's strong invitation to fight, although Zhang Nan knew that the opponent was strong, he had no intention of retreating.
"Good!" Tai Shi Ci snorted coldly, immediately urged the horse forward, raised his hand and slashed out with a halberd, the battle qi exploded, the cold moon was cold, the edge swept through the air, and suddenly struck out.
Although it was a simple blow, Zhang Nan didn't dare to be careless, after all, Fang Cai Tai Shi Ci defeated Lu Xiang with such a blow, which shows that the other party has great strength, and he wants to fight with him, it is really a big mistake!
The moment his mind turned, he saw Zhang Nan spinning the spear in his hand, and in an instant, the shadow of the debut spear was pointed, and it landed on the body of Tai Shi Ci's long halberd, and at the same time, his legs drove the mount backwards, just letting Tai Shi Ci's sharp halberd.
"Bang!" I only heard a loud noise, and the sharp edge of the Cold Moon Divine Halberd that broke through the air and slammed into the ground, and suddenly drew a crack like a ravine, stirring up dust and sand to fly, and the earth and rocks to fly, which shows how terrifying the power of Tai Shici's halberd is!
Zhang Nan was secretly frightened, but he was not afraid, he immediately broke out with a battle spirit, raised his hand, raised his spear, shouted loudly, and went straight to Tai Shi Ci to stab at him.
Knowing that his strength was not as good as Tai Shi Ci, he made a move this time, and his marksmanship was purely dexterous, supplemented by sharp and fast, as fast as thunder and lightning.
Seeing that the tip of the spear was about to stab him in the face, Tai Shici was crooked, and he actually showed a sharp riding skill that ordinary people could not achieve, and his whole body was sideways, just dodging Zhang Nan's sharp shot, and at the same time, with the rotation of his body, the cold moon divine halberd was sharp, roaring and piercing the void. Expel the wind and clouds, roar angrily, and strike out!
At this moment, Zhang Nan was stabbed out with a sharp shot, and his whole body was also leaning forward, facing Tai Shi Ci's sharp halberd. I had no choice but to press down the spear in my hand and forcibly connect it.
"Boom!" The piercing sound broke out in an instant, and when the two clashed blades, Zhang Nan finally realized the pain that Lu Xiang had experienced, and at this moment, he only felt that there was a powerful and incomparable force transmitted along his spear, like a stormy wave. Layer upon layer, constantly impacting on his body.
Surprised, Zhang Nan's body was light, and he almost flew off the horse, but fortunately, he was not a two-knife like Lu Xiang that could be compared, and he was prepared in his heart, so he was at a critical moment. Finally stabilized his body and didn't fall off the horse.
"Not good!" Seeing Zhang Nan in distress. Ju Yi's expression suddenly changed, Lu Xiang was not the top general of his own side after all, even if he was defeated, it would be fine, but Zhang Nan was the top general of his own side, and he was strong in force. It is enough to rank in the top five among the officials and troops in Jizhou, if it is defeated, I am afraid that the morale will plummet, and when the time comes, let alone delay time. I'm afraid that they haven't attacked the Taiping army yet, and the Taiping army will first attack them with the opportunity of a great victory.
It is also a vanguard army, the difference between the number of 100,000 and 80,000 is not too big, if the morale has risen and fallen, Rao is righteous and conceited to govern the army well, and may not be able to stop the Taiping army. After all, compared to the defeat of their own side from the Tiger Prison Pass to Luoyang, and then retreated from Luoyang to Jizhou, even Jizhou lost most of its territory, and since the uprising, the Taiping Army has captured half of the Han Dynasty, which is the peak period of morale, and it really cannot be compared.
"General Gao Gan, the thief will be brave, you go and help General Zhang Nan!" Without the slightest hesitation, Ju Yi immediately ordered to speak out, now is not a good time to be afraid of face.
"No!" Knowing that Zhang Nan's combat power is not worse than himself, Gao Gan didn't know that he must have met a strong opponent this time, so he hurriedly shouted at the moment, urging the horse to step forward, the person borrowed the horse's momentum, the long knife broke through the air, whistling and cutting through the air, and he practiced vigorously, and went straight to Tai Shici.
It's just that although Gao Gan's knife is extremely powerful, and it occupies the power of the sneak attack, it did not achieve the expected effect after all, he saw Tai Shi Ci smiled coldly, and between turning his hands, the cold moon divine halberd swept sharply, this change of trick came extremely abruptly, like an antelope hanging horns, there was no trace, whether it was Zhang Nan or Gao Gan, it was too late to take back his weapon, and he was swept away by Tai Shici's halberd, and they were smashed off the horse!
It's not that they are not strong, but they underestimated Tai Shici from the beginning, as the top god-level general in the Taiping Army, Tai Shici's strength is as high as Gan Ning, and it is a world-strong man who directly pursues Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others, which shows that his combat power is strong.
Now Gao Gan and Zhang Nan, although they can be regarded as first-class generals among ordinary generals, they are still too far behind Tai Shi Ci! With just the two of them, it is indeed a little unrealistic to defeat Tai Shici!
In the camp of the official army in Jizhou, Ju Yi also didn't expect that Tai Shici, who seemed to be a nobody, would have such combat power, he couldn't help but be anxious, and hurriedly turned his head and shouted to the people behind him: "I can't care so much, General Lu Kuang, General Jiao Touch, General Su You, let's hurry forward to help General Gao Gan and General Zhang Nan!" ”
As military generals, Lu Kuang, Jiao Touch, and Su You naturally have their own arrogance, but the military order is in front, although they are a little reluctant, but they have to nod and agree, the three of them immediately went into battle, and ran directly to Gao Gan and Zhang Nan, frowning and looking at Tai Shici in front, Lu Kuang whispered to Gao Gan and Zhang Nan: "Two, the thief will be strong, today we can only defeat this person by working together, Don't lose the face of our Jizhou men! ”
Although everyone is a military general in Jizhou, this does not mean that the relationship between them will be very good, after all, there are many factions in Jizhou, and it is common for them to clash with each other. However, Lu Kuang and the others are not the kind of people who don't know the general situation, the current situation is like this, but they can't tolerate internal fighting between them, if they can't win this battle, then Jizhou will inevitably fall under the Taiping army in the future.
Gao Gan and Zhang Nan obviously also understood the truth, although it was a bit shameless to bully more and less, but the battlefield confrontation has never been absolutely fair, so after a little hesitation, when even nodded and shouted in unison: "Since this is the case, the five of us will work together to take down the thief!" ”
"Hah!" Hearing this, Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It's really a high-sounding good thing, what if you go together, what is my Tai Shi Ci afraid of?" As he spoke, he saw that he was full of combat power, and his momentum changed color.
"Wait!" At this moment, I was shocked to hear that a loud shout came from the camp of the Taiping Army, and then the four tiger generals urged the horses out, and it was the Taiping Army generals Xu Sheng, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, and Geng Ling!
Five-on-five, it seems to be a fair situation, but the Jizhou official army knows very well that it is okay to confront each other at this time, if it really starts a war, I am afraid that my side will be defeated, after all, they all see the battle situation in their eyes, Gao Gan and Zhang Nan, the two strongest people, are still no match for Tai Shici, and now there are four more people on the other side, and they are not opponents.
Ju Yi's face was cold, and he immediately shouted: "Mingjin retreats!" "Although I have the intention to frustrate the enemy's spirit, if I continue to frustrate it now, it will be the morale of my own side.
On the side of the Taiping Army, although Xu Sheng is not the highest in terms of force, but the command of the army, it is mainly Xu Sheng, seeing that the Jizhou officials and troops want to retreat, they immediately shouted: "The cavalry attack, rush the enemy formation!" ”
Immediately, Tai Shici, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin three generals, led 10,000 cavalry rushed out, straight to the Jizhou official army, at this moment, the Jizhou official army is retreating, encountered the Taiping cavalry impact, these newly formed Jizhou official army is difficult to resist, immediately was broken through the formation, a fight.
Although Ju Yi and others tried their best to shrink the formation and resist the cavalry impact of the Taiping army, they still lost more than 20,000 people in this battle when they returned to the camp for liquidation.
Defeated in the first battle, the morale of the Jizhou pioneer army suddenly fell into a trough! (To be continued......)
