Chapter 201: Battle of Hengzhou
The sword light is like a waterfall in the morning sun, and it is like a meteor crossing the sky. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The crisp and pleasant sound of weapons is sometimes like thunder cracking the sky, and sometimes it is like a pearl falling on a jade plate. I saw the sound of the sword light cracking the air and the cold metal clashing.
It seemed that the shadows in the void around him had completely turned into a battle between these two people. When everyone saw this continuous attack, they knew for a moment that they couldn't intervene. The moves of his opponents have changed, and his skills seem to have slowed down.
Suddenly, there seemed to be a pause in the sky, and everything seemed to be quiet.
A splatter of blood, like blooming flowers, was knocked to the mud by the torrential rain.
Stunning red, blood spilled!
The deafening contact of weapons, the sound of metal grinding stopped. At this moment there seemed to be an extraordinarily long silence, and all the sounds made quickly disappeared.
At this moment, it seemed that the field was silent, and it was really silent. Because almost everyone stopped, whether they had the advantage or not, they all stopped at the moment and looked at the quiet place in the field.
Whether it was the injured people, the guards who originally belonged to Qu Quji, or the spies under Chen Fang who were encircling and suppressing these people. Everyone seemed to feel the shock, and there was some unanimous concern at this moment.
After all, both sides know that Chen Fang and Qu Quji are the focus. The struggle of his own people actually has no meaning in the slightest.
Of the twelve guards who accompanied Qu Quji, five or six of them had suffered heavy losses when they began to be attacked. He was just besieged by the people brought by Chen Fang, and although he held the offensive to the death, he also paid a heavy price.
If you don't stop at this moment, I'm afraid you won't last long.
As for the real desperateness, I don't know how many variables there will be, and it is estimated that no one wants to see it.
And the team of spies brought by Chen Fang's side, although the number of them is a few more than Qu Quji's side, but after all, they are not as fierce as Qu Quji's personal guards. Seeing that a few of the twelve guards were seriously injured, they thought they could clean up.
Who knew that after a battle and besieged them, not only did they not kill these people, but they also injured a few on their side. Because these people don't have good experience in joint attacks at all, they originally had some advantages, but after sending out the siege, they became a hindrance.
They knew that these people were not so easy to clean up, and they were even more jealous of these guards in their hearts. Especially seeing the sharp and calm eyes of these guards, and the uniform counterattack, some people immediately felt suddenly angry.
These outposts that Chen Fang brought with him, they were just outposts in the army, after all, they were not the dead soldiers who were killed by Xiao Qing. In the face of the unity of the twelve guards, their skills were not necessarily strong. Although there were a few more people, after a while, I found that my side could not work.
How did they know that Qu Quji's personal guards could be on their own. Moreover, they studied a thaumaturgy of "Eight Styles of Locking Dragons" in the Dongguan Military Academy, which can gather a powerful force when they usually attack together.
This kind of combined attack technique can not only be used as a single enemy, but also a subtle formation when combined. It is the general masters on the rivers and lakes, if you don't understand the way of formation, you will be extremely afraid.
Because this combined attack technique is not only a thaumaturgy researched by Shi Wu and Yang Jiong, but also the two of them have been repeatedly improved. The cadets who graduated from the Dongguan Military Academy in the past period have all learned this kind of combined attack technique.
Of course, depending on the order of learning time, some people get more perfect combo techniques. However, the students who learned earlier did not have any worries, because most of them entered the various battlefields early. Most of the later juniors will bring this thaumaturgy, and if everyone merges a little, it will only become more perfect.
It is their single operation, the "Ten Styles of the Sea of Blood", which has been uniformly studied, because of its indomitable offensive, which is enough to make the average Jianghu expert retreat.
Just imagine that these students who have studied the "Ten Styles of the Blood Sea" are like the registered disciples of two people, ordinary good players in the rivers and lakes, where have they seen such a subtle and concise killing move. One move and two styles can be handled, and if you attack with ten moves, many people will be more difficult to parry.
Of course, unless you meet a real good player on the rivers and lakes, at least it is a master above the innate realm, how many such people will there be in the world?
These sentry posts brought by Chen Fang, plus Chen Fang himself, are only eighteen people. Except for the two lieutenants who began to besiege Qu Quji, only fifteen people besieged these guards. Not to mention their skills, even Chen Fang himself is far from the innate master.
Fifteen against twelve, three attacking and killing one.
After a short siege, knowing that there was basically no advantage in the number of people, and that they might trap themselves at any time, these people chose to stop for the time being.
Everyone looked intently at the center focus, where there were two separate people, standing nearly two feet away. Although they stood there motionless, they both looked at each other closely, as if they might strike at any moment.
Neither side spoke, and there was only fierce murderous aura and Xiao killing in the field.
The injured guards on Qu Quji's side did not come over immediately to hug them, but quickly bandaged themselves silently. Or sanitation his companions, looking at the outpost here.
The guard named Lin Chong was extremely bloodied, and of course he didn't know how much blood on his body was his own. But looking at a few skin peels, it must be a lot of injuries. began to be attacked, he was the earliest in front of Qu Quji's body, and he was naturally the most seriously injured.
However, although his face was a little pale, he was still standing straight, and his eyes were staring at several of his opponents with a very animalistic attitude. Seeing that the eyes of those people were a little erratic, he tore off a few pieces of his clothes and sprinkled some medicinal powder, bandaged himself simply, and quietly watched the situation here.
It seemed that time stood still at this moment, and blood splattered, indicating that someone was injured. Because the identities of the two people are sensitive, these people are more nervous, and the air is frozen at this moment.
After a while, a ticking sound seemed to be heard in the calm space.
The ticking sound, though small, seems to be somewhat continuous. In this still time and space, the stone breaks through the earth, like a stone that disturbs the calm waters of the lake.
Not only did it fall on everyone's ears like thunder, but it also seemed to shake the peace in people's hearts.
The sound of heavy breathing made people feel extremely hot all around.
Chen Fang looked at himself in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief and doubt.
Injured? The crimson blood actually spurted out of his body. In the wound on his chest, there was a gap two or three inches wide, more than half a foot long, and the armor was cut from the left chest to the soft armor that was close to the right rib.
Sharp blades, shocking wounds!
If it weren't for the armor and soft armor on his body, he was afraid that this wound would cut directly through his body. Although the current wound is not enough to make Chen Fang lose the ability to move, this accident is enough to shock Chen Fang.
Seeing that the armor and soft armor were opened, they had already been cut open, and you could imagine the thrill just now, as well as the power of the horse chopping knife in Qu Quji's hand.
Chen Fang quickly clicked a few acupoints on his arm, seeing that the blood on his chest gradually stopped, and there was no longer a spurt, but the blood quickly stained his soft armor red. Chen Fang felt a burst of grievance and anger in his heart, his body trembled slightly, and he let the blood drip down the soft armor.
Staring at Qu Qujian tightly, looking at the horse chopping knife in his hand, Chen Fang felt a little illusory.
It was this knife that almost killed him, Chen Fang couldn't believe it, all this was true. If it weren't for Yin Hong's blood and such a real physical feeling, Chen Fang would never have imagined that he would almost capsize in the gutter.
Although the armor on his body is not a treasure armor, it is also one of the standard armors that was built in the hands of Ma Chu back then and belongs to Ma Chu. Ma Chu was able to dominate the world and occupy Chu for decades, which was inseparable from this excellent standard armor.
Now it's actually cut open by Qu Qu.
Even the soft armor on the body is not ordinary cowhide soft armor, but is made of good three-knife cowhide, mixed with black gold silk weaving, it can be said that the general blade is difficult to leave marks. After Ma Chu ended, there were only about 30 sets in the treasury of Hengzhou City, which was left by Ma Xixu, the king of Hengyang, in Hengzhou Zhongxing.
Because he was a child of the Chen family, after following Chen Luo to Hengzhou City, he was rewarded by Chen Luo for his loyalty and excellence.
You must know that Chen Luo, as Zhang Wenbiao's main supporter and relative, has received great attention in Hengzhou City. Chen Luo followed Zhang Wenbiao for a long time, and knew that there were some treasures in the treasury, so he asked for some from Zhang Wenbiao and distributed them to a few cronies of the family.
The armor on Chen Fang's body is one of his glories.
Thinking that without armor and soft armor, he was almost split by Qu Quji, Chen Fang's heart was angry and aggrieved. I thought that I could easily clean up the disease, but I didn't expect that after getting started, I found that not only did I not have an advantage, but I was almost split.
Even if he wanted to rush up immediately, his legs were actually a little numb, which made Chen Fang break out in a cold sweat. Because of the severe pain in his arms, it proves that this person is not only powerful, but also does not seem to be weaker than himself.
Chen Fang knew that he was careless, and the other party had always retained his skills, obviously so cautious that he was so conservative. Looking at the sharp blade in Qu Qu's hand, there was actually a line of blood flowing down the blade.
The red blood droplets are like transparent red agate in the morning sun. Finally, along the dazzling blade, dripping into the dirt.
Qu Quji's indomitable offensive just now surprised Chen Fang, who had always been quite conceited. Although he was born in the Chen family, he has been guided by swordsmen on the rivers and lakes since he was a child, and his skills are in the top three in the Chen family.
Now, although he is only a sentry captain, he is deeply respected by Zhang Wenbiao and Chen Luo. was sent to the vicinity of Quanxi to investigate, because Zhang Wenbiao was afraid that the outskirts of Hengzhou City would increase variables and someone would sabotage his actions.
Chen Fang listened to the appearance of Qu Quji and his party, although he was not sure of the identities of everyone, but with the principle that he would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go, he still ordered someone to ambush here. I thought it was arranged, but who knew that it was beyond my expectations.
is in the face of Qu Quji, the leader of the group, he himself thought that he could get it at his fingertips, but he unexpectedly suffered a secret loss in the hands of Qu Quji.
The two assistants of Chen Fang on the side, Du Wei, were a little surprised in their eyes, they naturally knew what Chen Fang's skills were. Usually, several of them are together, and they are not Chen Fang's opponents. But he didn't expect Qu Quji to face the enemy alone, and he didn't show invincibility.
This not only greatly exceeded the expectations of the two people, but also made the two people have a trace of worry about this mission, and they forgot to attack for a while. But seeing Chen Fang's angry and somewhat pale face, the two of them suddenly understood that their boss Chen Fang was actually injured.
"Kill!"
Almost at the same time, the two people reacted instantly, soldiers need courage on the battlefield. Even in the face of opponents who are stronger than themselves, they should have the courage to move forward. The two men glanced at each other, and immediately swung their knives to attack again.
The indomitable offensive made them almost forget that they had a short soldier in their hands, and Qu Qujian had a long chopping knife in his hand.
The two of them naturally knew that the horse chopping knife in Qu Quji's hand was an inch short and an inch dangerous, referring not only to the opponent's weapon, but also to the relative distance and the opponent's skill.
But the actions and reactions of the two people are still remarkable and surprising. Regardless of whether the opponent is stronger than themselves or not, but at this moment, they think that as long as they can get close, the horse chopping knife in Qu Quji's hand is an obstacle. So they are unstoppable, so they are crazy to catch up.
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Without waiting for the two of them to get close to each other, Qu Qu jumped up and swung his knife to meet him, as if he didn't want to give the two people a chance.
After this period of experience, Qu Quji is no longer the original skill. Imagine being able to fight with the masters of the zodiac, which requires more than just courage. The slashing knife in his hand had already danced into a ball of knife flowers at the slightest move, not giving the two of them a chance to get close.
The sword shadow directly covered the figures of the two people, making the strongest attack at the best distance. Not only to deter Chen Fang and these people, but also to strive to kill as quickly as possible.
Qu Qujian does have fire in his heart, not to mention being attacked and killed inexplicably here, and it is also regarded as a soft persimmon. Although he knew that it was his own people who were disguised as sergeants, he did not allow these people to offend his dignity.
If these outposts really encountered Jianghu high-rollers, this kind of nonsensical obstruction alone should have been killed by Jianghu high-rollers hundreds of times.
The fight on the rivers and lakes has always been unreasonable! Happiness and revenge are often only in a thought! It doesn't matter what kind of force you are!
If you can't reveal your identity, you must come up with the panache of a high-roller. Seeing that the guards around him were injured a few, Qu Qujian decided to cut through the mess quickly. But Qu Quji knew very well in his heart that he was shouldering the responsibility, so he wanted to take this opportunity to kill these people.
Now Qu Quji just wants to make an example and end this fight, and there is a large army accompanying him behind, so he must make the fastest response. If these people are allowed to find out, how many variables will be added. He galloped all the way, but in order to help Pan Chongche.
Even if he met the enemy quickly, confident in killing these two people, his gaze still had no intention of sweeping over the figure of the young woman.
It's a mysterious woman, and although it's not known whether she's friend or foe, at least it hasn't had an impact yet. No matter how variable, Qu Qu has to be guarded against, because the responsibility he shoulders is too great.
A delicate woman, not to mention having a beautiful appearance, Qu Quji doesn't believe that there is such a good thing in the world. Regardless of her identity, Qu Quji didn't want to ignore it easily. Because this is an unknown factor, Qu Quji does not want accidents, but it is difficult to control it now.
The blade was paved, and the two of them felt a strong killing intent to kill.
!!!
!!!
At this time, even Zhang Wenbiao was the most aggrieved, originally he was stationed in southern Chu, and he could be regarded as a prince of a town in a feudal town. Not to mention what he has in his heart, as long as Chudi is still in the world of Zhou Xingfeng, he can still be at ease in Hengzhou, and many people understand this.
Of course, many people know that he is Zhou Xingfeng's brother and represents Zhou Xingfeng.
There are many people in this world, and often others can't see their true nature.
If everything goes well, the entire southern Chu region will become Zhang Wenbiao's world. Because although his military strength is limited, he really decides the military power and is responsible for the border between the Southern Han Kingdom and the Southern Tang Kingdom in Lingnan.
Maybe Zhang Wenbiao can't even think of it at this moment, he doesn't know what went wrong, why he will lose again and again. To say that he was under Zhou Xingfeng, and now he is one of the best warlords, but he didn't expect to encounter Lingnan, an outlier.
As an old nest of gathering strength, it was suddenly occupied by someone in the rear, which was an accident that no one expected, but it was also a great shame. If Zhang Wenbiao can't even recapture Hengzhou City, how can he talk about the future.
Because Chu Di is now a vast and sparsely populated area, the entire Chu Di force does not have many troops to replenish. This is also the reason why Zhou Xingfeng and Zhang Wenbiao are most worried, and why Zhou Xingfeng let Zhang Wenbiao develop on his own.
Although Zhang Wenbiao is in charge of most of the southern part of Chunan, the territory that is really effectively managed is really limited. Because there is no one in the vast area, in fact, it is a bare-bones commander. No one has no soldiers, how can they develop outward?
Even if they get the most rights, they are more than willing to do but not have enough power. This is the reason why Zhang Wenbiao is the most depressed and does not dare to act rashly.
Knowing that Hengzhou City was occupied and some of the surrounding prefectures and counties were eroded, Zhang Wenbiao did not say that he sent thousands of soldiers to sweep around, even if there were hundreds of soldiers, it was easy to clean up. But even if he divided hundreds of soldiers, Zhang Wenbiao didn't dare now, because he was too suspicious.
It can be said that in the current situation in Chudi, as long as there are a few hundred elites in hand, it is enough to take the land of a state, and Zhang Wenbiao knows this very well. At the beginning, after decades of peace, it can be said that people are rich and strong, but everything has changed after Ma Yin's death.
The Chunan region alone was defeated by the children of the Ma family and the subsequent warlords in just a few years. Zhang Wenbiao has been in Hengzhou City for so long, and he finally gathered some strength, but he was liquidated inexplicably, and his current depression can be imagined.
The surroundings had just been exposed, and a glimmer of light had already been seen in the sky.
Guo Jing stood quietly on the top of the lakes and mountains, looking at the plains between the valleys in the distance. On both sides of this road are the Hengshan Mountains, and the complete river in the middle is the steaming water of one of the three famous tributaries of Xiangshui.
It's only 80 kilometers away, and it's Hengzhou City.
It seems to be very close, but Guo Jing understands that if it is a team, it will be difficult to reach the destination without nearly ten hours of travel. Of course, if it is a special operations team, it may be possible to shorten the time by half, but Guo Jing knows that it is unrealistic.
Since he entered the development of Chudi, and now he has entered Shaozhou, there are less than 5,000 special soldiers trained under his command. Now these people are all divided into the entire Chu Land, laying the groundwork for the future plan, and there will definitely not be more than eight hundred people who are really available around them.
This time, Pan Song sent Pan Yang to ambush him, and he not only successfully counterattacked, but also captured Shaozhou again in three ways. According to the strength of his own troops, he was completely unable to hold Shaozhou City, so after attacking Pan Song's base camp again, he could easily withdraw from Shaozhou City.
Pan Song was helpless, and he didn't dare to gather the soldiers he brought at the beginning, so he could only watch Guo Jing wander between various prefectures and counties recklessly. Guo Jing knew that he occupied Shaozhou again, which undoubtedly gave the people who followed him great confidence.
After rekindling the hope of the people, Guo Jing naturally wanted to leave some soldiers to help the people. Then he led less than 500 soldiers to come to Hengzhou to help Pan Chongche. This kind of strategy has long been revealed, but Guo Jing is to cooperate with Pan Chongche this time.
Although Shuguangli's face was calm, Guo Jing's heart was not calm at all.
After receiving a message from the secret party, today is to stick to the limit of Hengzhou City. Because there are not many special forces who follow Pan Chongche into Hengzhou City, plus some believers called by the secret party, the personnel are also limited. Originally, according to Pan Chongche's conservative estimate, it could not exceed three days at most.
Because Zhang Wenbiao got the news, the distance back to Hengzhou City from the Yongzhou Waterway was limited. If Zhang Wenbiao launched a full-scale attack, it would be difficult for Hengzhou City to hold on. However, Pan Chongche detained Zhang Wenbiao's family members in the city, as well as the family members of some generals, which is also a card.
If Pan Chongche's reputation in the rivers and lakes is based on alone, he will naturally not use this method to deal with it. But now that it is a military involving two feudal towns, with Pan Chongche's mood and thoughts, it is natural that he will deliberately reveal these meanings to deter Zhang Wenbiao, a warlord.
Guo Jing still admires Pan Chongche very much, after all, this is the first general of the Lingnan Imperial Court, and he is a very famous figure in various feudal towns in the entire Central Plains. This time, he was able to cooperate with Pan Chongche and worked tirelessly to help, Guo Jing just wanted to meet this senior.
Of course, Guo Jing has another idea. This is one of the emperor's decisions, as a loyal supporter of Emperor Liu Jixing, Guo Jing will never allow himself to make mistakes. It is up to people to make things happen, and Guo Jing must make his best efforts.
But the road is not close, and when he occupied Shaozhou City, he had already delayed some time. Now that he is still so far away from Hengzhou City, he is really worried that the results that Pan Chongche has just received will not be lost because of his delay.
If he rushed to Hengzhou City to join the division, although Guo Jing did not dare to boast of his combat strength, but with his two years of experience in the development of Chudi, these teams under his command could really be regarded as a surprise soldier from heaven at that time.
As long as the last gap is just right, Zhang Wenbiao must be able to outflank it. Thinking of Hengzhou City, which is not far away, although he didn't know how the battle would end this time, Guo Jing only felt his blood boiling.
