Chapter 260: Defeat

When Cuban was fighting against Dafu, he was unfortunately injured by a stray arrow, and after the injury was healed, he lost his fertility, so Cuban has never had children, and he hates Dafu people very much.

Among all the people in Dafu, Yang Ming, the king of victory, was the one he hated the most, because over the years, Dafu and Liuyi had been fighting, and the Dafu soldiers commanded by Yang Ming did not know how many Liuyi soldiers had killed.

Although Kuban is almost fifty years old, he has always been reluctant to accept old age, this is because he saw that Yang Ming was very brave and killed many Liuyi soldiers. Under the new hatred and old hatred, Kuban could no longer control his emotions, picked up the weapon in his hand and rushed towards Yang Ming.

Yang Ming killed several Liuyi soldiers around him, and was about to lead a group of guards to break through, when he suddenly felt that there was danger around him, and immediately waved his gun to block.

Hearing only the sound of "bang", the spear in Yang Ming's hand collided with the opponent's blade, and the force of this collision was very sufficient, which made Yang Ming's arm numb, and he almost couldn't hold the spear in his hand.

Who is so powerful? Yang Ming was secretly surprised, he quickly turned his head and saw that it was Kuban who attacked him.

After seeing clearly the person who attacked him, Yang Ming not only did not worry, but was happy in his heart. The situation is particularly unfavorable for oneself at present, and if he can kill Kuban on the battlefield this time, the Liuyi soldiers will definitely be defeated without a fight, and the situation on the battlefield will definitely be reversed.

Thinking of this, Yang Ming immediately shook his spirits and stood with Kuban and several of his soldiers.

The weapon in Kuban's hand is also a long hammer exactly like Chimur'er, and those who can use this weapon are generally infinitely powerful.

As it turned out, the long hammer in Kuban's hand did not have any fancy movements, but it was very practical. The long hammer in his hand attacked Yang Ming from an unexpected angle.

Originally, according to Yang Ming's kung fu, there was not much problem in dealing with the age Kuban, but several generals under the Kuban also cooperated with him to attack Yang Ming.

These Liuyi generals paid great attention to the protection of the Kuban while attacking, and every time Yang Ming launched an attack on the Kuban, he would be blocked by these generals under him, so the battle lasted for a pillar of incense, Yang Ming not only failed to hurt the Kuban, but also fell under the joint attack of several opponents.

Looking at Yang Ming, who was in a hurry and resisting the attacks of several of his own people, Cuban was overjoyed. At this time, if Yang Ming can be killed or captured alive, it will not only be able to avenge the revenge with one arrow, but also accelerate the rout of the Dafu army.

In this state of mind, Kuban was even more energetic, and swung the long hammer in his hand with all his strength, and swung it towards Yang Ming one by one.

Seeing that Yang Ming was at a disadvantage, the soldiers around him hurriedly moved closer to him, but they were entangled by the Liuyi soldiers on the side.

At this time, Yang Ming, who was surrounded by several Liuyi generals in the middle, had a more and more obvious disadvantage at this time, and kept waving the spear in his hand, resisting the attacks of the Liuyi generals again and again in a very embarrassed manner.

Seeing that Yang Ming was about to be unable to hold on, Cuban became more and more happy, and he attacked again and again with a hammer at the expense of his physical strength. Although Cuban's strength is very strong, his endurance is not as good as when he was young, so his hammer swinging speed is getting slower and slower, but seeing that victory is in sight, he still gritted his teeth and persevered.

Kuban saw Yang Ming swinging his gun to block the attack of one of his subordinates, but this time he resisted very reluctantly, and it happened that Yang Ming's body was on his side. How could Kuban let go of such an opportunity? I saw a swing of the long hammer in his hand and slammed it in the direction of Yang Ming's body.

Kuban's idea is not bad, looking at the situation, Yang Ming has no time to dodge at this time, and the long in his hand

It was too late to recover the gun. Under normal circumstances, this hammer would definitely hit Yang Ming, and according to Kuban's strength, Yang Ming would be seriously injured if he didn't die.

Seeing that victory was in sight, Cuban was very happy, and a smug smile appeared in his eyes. But what he didn't notice was that in such a critical situation, Yang Ming, who was already in a catastrophe, had a weird smile on his face at this time.

It turned out that Yang Ming saw that several of Kuban's subordinates were desperately guarding him, and he never found a chance to kill Kuban. So he decided to deliberately show weakness and make a look of embarrassment in defense, which was used to relax the vigilance of Cuban and several of his subordinates.

Sure enough, in the event of the upper hand, several of Kuban's subordinates relaxed their protection against him. also intentionally or unintentionally let Kuban go to the front and gave him the opportunity to kill Yang Ming with his own hands.

Seeing Kuban's long hammer smashing, Yang Ming unexpectedly controlled his figure, twisted his body, and the spear directly stabbed Kuban. When he was young, Kuban was a well-known fierce general in Liuyi, and he had a lot of combat experience.

In the face of this sudden situation, although he was secretly frightened, he also reacted in time. The hammer was too late to retract, so he leaned back, dodging the range of Yang Ming's spear.

Kuban Man thought that he could completely defuse Yang Ming's attack by dodging this time. But Cuban underestimated Yang Ming's determination to kill him.

Seeing that his spear was no longer within reach of the Kuban, if he took back his spear and found such an opportunity to attack, it must be very slim. Thinking of this, Yang Ming's eyes were cold, and he made up his mind, and the spear in his hand came out of his hand and flew straight towards Kuban's chest.

At this time, Kuban's figure had just leaned back, his strength was already old, and he didn't have time to make other movements, and the spear stabbed directly into Kuban's chest, piercing through the soft armor on Kuban's chest, and inserting it into Kuban's chest, Kuban immediately let out a miserable scream, and fell off his horse on his back.

Seeing that Kuban was shot, several of his generals were frightened, and two of them waved their guns to block Yang Ming, who was only holding a long sword at this time, and the rest hurriedly dismounted to check Kuban's injuries.

Yang Ming was also scared into a cold sweat at this time, he who lost the spear in his hand, under the joint attack of several generals on the other side, he would definitely not be able to hold out for too long. But at this time, several generals on the other side were too busy caring about Kuban's injuries to join forces to attack him.

Seeing this scene, Yang Ming's heart was overjoyed, he quickly rode his horse to the side, and when everyone didn't react, he grabbed a long knife that someone fell to the ground.

"Kuban has been killed by me, brothers rush out with me!" Yang Ming raised the long knife in his hand and shouted loudly.

When the Dafu soldiers on the side heard Yang Ming's shout, they immediately understood and shouted loudly together: "Kuban has been killed, everyone hurry up!" ”

The shouts on the battlefield shocked all the Liuyi soldiers present, and the movements in their hands suddenly sold a lot.

Seeing that the Liuyi soldiers were in a short panic, Yang Ming certainly would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he shouted while rushing to the rear with the Dafu soldiers, and after a while, the Kuban defense line opened a gap, and the Dafu soldiers on the battlefield immediately rushed out along this gap.

In fact, Kuban's injuries were not serious, Yang Yun's strength had been exhausted when he was in the spear, and if he wanted to withdraw the spear and stab forward with the spear, he might not have a chance to hurt Kuban, so he had to throw the spear out of the situation, so the gun speed was not fast, and the lethality caused was not strong enough.

The spear barely passed through Kuban's soft armor and plunged into Kuban's chest, and although some blood flowed out, it was fine.

and so on

When Ban climbed back onto his horse and observed the situation on the field, several Dafu soldiers had already broken out of the encirclement.

Seeing that the boiled duck flew away, Kuban was furious, and while letting his soldiers pursue the fleeing Dafu soldiers, he ordered his subordinates to encircle and suppress the Dafu soldiers who failed to break out of the encirclement.

Finally got out of the encirclement, Yang Ming retreated to the rear with the surviving Dafu soldiers, and saw that there were Liuyi soldiers chasing from the rear, so he had to leave another group of soldiers desperately blocking the pursuers.

Yang Ming led his soldiers all the way and evacuated to the rear defense line, but it didn't take long for another sound to come from behind, and it turned out that the Liuyi cavalry and the Chu soldiers under Yu Xian had chased after him again. It seems that most of the Dafu soldiers who stayed to block the enemy have been wiped out, and in desperation, Yang Ming had to leave some Dafu soldiers behind and let them desperately block the enemy.

In this way, after sacrificing several waves of soldiers, Yang Ming finally met the reinforcements brought by Chen Lisheng from the rear, repelled the pursuers of Chu and Liuyi, and retreated to the rear defense line.

Yang Ming, who successfully withdrew, organized his subordinates to count the casualties this time, and got a sad news that this time he brought out more than 200,000 Dafu soldiers, less than half of them were successfully withdrawn, that is to say, this time more than 100,000 soldiers were lost.

Unexpectedly, he lost so many people to defend him, so angry that Yang Ming almost waved his sword to kill himself, but fortunately, his soldiers hurriedly pulled him back.

Soon after Yang Ming led his troops back to the defense line, Yu Xian and Kuban chased after them with Chu soldiers and Liuyi cavalry, and Yang Ming, who was also seriously short of troops, had to take his soldiers and retreat to the rear to shrink the defense line.

The loss of so many men this time not only made the number of Dafu soldiers seriously insufficient, but also the morale of the soldiers became very low. So in the following battle, the Dafu soldiers led by Yang Ming suffered several defeats.

This time, Yang Ming brought a total of 300,000 soldiers to Yunzhou, plus the 100,000 dragon warriors in Yunzhou City, a total of more than 400,000 people, after a series of battles, there were less than 250,000 people left.

In the end, Yang Ming had to abandon several cities one after another, lost a large amount of land, and finally established a new line of defense, adopted a strategy of stubborn defense, and no longer dared to take the initiative to attack.

The news of Yang Ming's defeat soon spread to Xijing City, and it also caused a shock from top to bottom of Dafu, Yang Ming's 400,000 people, almost half of Dafu's troops, if they can't withstand the attack of the Chu army, then Dafu will be in danger.

Quanzhou needs soldiers, Suizhou also needs soldiers, and some soldiers have to be left behind to hold the various cities in Xijing City and Dafuguo, and now there are not too many soldiers and horses to reinforce the Yunzhou front.

In desperation, Emperor Fu had no choice but to issue an order, and all the princes and officials and nobles who had obtained the fief should immediately transfer the soldiers of their fiefdoms as much as possible to the front line of Yunzhou to cooperate with the victorious king Yang Ming to resist the invading Chu soldiers.

When the holy decree reached Yang Yun's fiefdom, Yang Yun had already obtained the news through the intelligence network in Xijing City.

Yunzhou's Dafu army was defeated, and Yang Yun's mood was very complicated, and his feelings of grief and anxiety were intertwined. But at the same time, I was a little excited, because the opportunity for my own contribution was coming.

Yang Yun and his subordinates had already expected that the imperial court would not be able to send too many reinforcements, and would definitely transfer the guards of each city and the private soldiers of the fiefdom, so before the arrival of the holy decree, Yang Ming had already discussed the issue of sending troops with the subordinates of the fiefdom.

"Your Highness, this soldier is definitely going to come out, but we have to think of a suitable way to do it." Hearing Yang Yun talk about sending troops, Qiu Ze was the first to speak. After he joined Yang Yun's forces, he often had some subtle strategies, and he was also very good at managing the county to which he belonged, and he was more and more trusted by Yang Yun.
