Chapter 128: Deng Qiang

The land of Kuaicheng is the westernmost county of the five counties of Shiping County, just a little west of Baoji City in later generations. At this time, Li Xin's large army was still more than thirty miles away from the boundary east of Kuaicheng, and even if they rushed with all their might, they would not be able to catch up for a while!

Fortunately, Peng Lin and they now have 2,000 soldiers and horses there, especially half of the cavalry, and the other party did not directly attack, which shows that they also have a great sense of fear. But after a long confrontation, there will inevitably be a war between the two sides.

Although Li Xin didn't think that his side would suffer too much loss, Fu Chang and the others were probably absolutely gone. At this time, he decided to take more than 100 personal soldiers first, together with Li Erhei, adding up to about 300 horsemen, and rush over first.

Half an hour later, Li Xin and the others rushed outside Kuaicheng, and sure enough, Peng Lin and they were already fighting. The cavalry was attacking the opposing formation, and the infantry lined up, ready to rush at any moment.

But the strange thing is that no matter how Peng Lin and them attacked the opponent's military formation, the opponent's formation was almost never scattered. The soldiers looked like battle-hardened veterans, with their feet firmly anchored, spears between their shields, and they were aimed outwardly at the rushing cavalry.

Even if a cavalry rushed in, it was quickly encircled, and in a short period of time, Peng Lin lost dozens of horses. Under such circumstances, Peng Lin didn't dare to attack easily, so he had to provoke back and forth in front of the formation, wanting to let the other party take the initiative.

Li Xin's arrival made the other party have some commotion~ but soon calmed down again. Peng Lin immediately lined up the cavalry on both sides of the infantry, and then rode to Li Xin's side.

"How's the battle going?" Li Xin looked at the Fu Qin army on the opposite side and asked.

"The cavalry has suffered a small loss, and the other party's soldiers will cooperate very tacitly, and they should be people who have been fighting together for a long time. We are relatively small in number, once we fall into the opponent's military formation, we will soon be divided and surrounded, and the impact of the cavalry cannot be exerted, so we are not their opponents! Peng Lin said with some shame.

"It seems that the other party's generals are not ordinary people! There shouldn't be such a general in the group of people in Fu Chang, do you know who is leading the troops on the other side? "It's not been a day or two since he fought with the Qin court, and suddenly meeting such a general really made him a little curious.

"I don't know, I just know that the person has been standing in the middle of the formation and watching, whenever I lead someone to rush over, I will be in the center of the dispatch and look calm." Peng Lin shook his head, also a little strange.

"Moreover, these soldiers and horses on the other side seem to be different from ordinary Fu Qin soldiers!" After thinking about it, he added.

"Different? What's different? Li Erhei said curiously.

"They shouldn't be Han Chinese, or there are basically very few Han people in their ranks, and most of them seem to be Qiang people! can command so many Qiang people, I think the general should also be the leader of the Qiang tribe! Peng Lin himself is a Qiang person, so he feels this quite clearly.

"The Qiang team? Could it be that Deng Qiang is here? Hearing this, Li Xin's heart couldn't help but move!

The surname Deng is one of the big surnames among the Qiang people, and this Deng Qiang is a fierce general in the Fu Qin court, especially in the Fu Jian period. He is not only brave, but also completely different from Fu Sheng's brave and unscrupulous, because he is a brave and resourceful general.

This point, not to mention in the Fu Qin court, is also a rare talent in today's world.

The historical record of him should have started when Fu Sheng was the emperor, but there was no record before. Because this person has appeared in the history books many times, especially when he was an official with Wang Meng and rectified the law and order in Chang'an, Li Xin was quite impressed by him.

In the past, when he fought with Fu Qin repeatedly, he thought that he might meet this person, but he never saw him. Before, he was a little confused, but now, he suddenly understood.

This Deng Qiang should have always been in the group of Fu Qin army in Longdong, and there is basically no record of that group of troops in history. In addition, the Qiang people originally lived in the land of Longxi, and it may even be one of the local forces that Fu Xiong recruited when they were in Longdong!

Thinking of this, Li Xin decided to test it, and at the same time, it was also to delay a little time, so that the large army behind could rush over.

Therefore, he slowly rode his horse out of the battle, stopped a few hundred meters away from the opponent's military formation, and shouted: "Is it General Deng Qiang Deng's men and horses on the other side?" ”

In the enemy formation, since they saw Li Xin and them coming, they have been on alert. A general in his thirties in the military formation had been paying close attention to the movements of the Huashan army, and after hearing this shout, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

This person is Deng Qiang, he has never dealt with Huashan Army, so naturally he doesn't know who the person who shouted is. But it can also be seen from Peng Lin's attitude that Li Xin should be an important general in the Huashan Army. It's just that he didn't expect Li Xin to seem to know him.

"General, this person is Li Xin, the leader of the Huashan rebels!" Just behind the military formation, Fu Chang and the others were settling in the city, and at the same time, standing on the city wall to watch the battle. After seeing this scene at this moment, he hurriedly sent someone down to tell Deng Qiang.

"He's Li Xin? Is it really so young? When Deng Qiang heard this, he couldn't help but look at Li Xin twice, and said secretly in his heart.

Although he is in Longdong, in the past six months or so, he has heard Li Xin's name so much that his ears are almost calloused. Especially when he heard that Fu Xiong died in the hands of Li Xin, it made him feel incredible, after all, he himself knew Fu Xiong's talent.

"Dare to ask, is it General Deng Qiang Deng on the other side?" At this time, Li Xin saw that the other party did not answer, and shouted again.

"I am Deng Qiang, you are Li Xin of Huashan Army?" At this moment, if Deng Qiang didn't answer, it seemed that he was a little weak, and it also hit morale, so he had to answer.

"Sure enough, it's General Deng! Li had heard the name of the general, but he didn't expect to see it today! Li Xin seemed to be very familiar with him, and there was a compliment in his words.

These words not only made Deng Qiang and the others a little strange, but even Li Erhei and Peng Lin behind them were also a little puzzled.

"Strange, aren't we enemies? Why did Han Tang still talk about the old with each other? Li Erhei was puzzled and asked Peng Lin on the side in a low voice.

"I don't know, maybe the general has other plans!" Peng Lin didn't understand even more, shook his head and said.

"Without further ado, it is really a great rebellion for you to rebel against the imperial court and dare to hunt down and kill Your Majesty so far! If you know each other, quickly dismount and surrender, and you can be spared! Although Deng Qiang was strange in his heart, it was not easy to ask, so he reprimanded.

"Hehe, the general is really good at laughing! Fu Qin has no way, I and the brothers of the Huashan Army have worked hard to get to where we are today, how can I stop! This Qin court is doomed, I see that the general's martial arts will be slightly extraordinary, why don't you surrender to my Huashan army? Li Xin didn't care about his words, and persuaded him in turn.

"Bold, dare to persuade Yu to surrender! Today, with me waiting here, you don't want to kill the city, and when the king arrives, it will be your death! Hearing this, Deng Qiang couldn't help but be furious.

"In that case, let's see the real chapter under our hands! However, what I have just said to you will always be valid, and as long as you are sincere and obedient, I will be ready to welcome you at any time! Li Xin knew that he couldn't persuade him for a while, so he said to him.

At this time, the follow-up army was already slowly arriving. But it was not the 5,000 army that arrived before, but the 3,000 army led by Zhou Tong. In this way, the forces of both sides will be equal.

"When I heard that there was a war here, I rushed over immediately! Fortunately, we left a lot of horses on the side of Chang'an City, otherwise, we would really be tired to death after such a long journey! After Zhou Tong came up, he said breathlessly.

"You've come just in time, set up a position, let's get ready for war!" Li Xin nodded to him and asked him to lead the army behind the formation and rest for a while.

"This Huashan Army has reinforcements coming, I'm afraid today's things can't be good! Inform Your Majesty and others to go out of the west of the city as soon as possible. I led a large army to stop the Huashan army here and buy them time! Deng Qiang saw that there were more and more soldiers and horses in Huashan, and his face couldn't help but sink, and he whispered to the soldiers beside him.

At this time, Li Xin had already rearranged the team, with the infantry in the center, and 500 cavalry on each flank to cover it.

"Kill!" Li Xin raised the war knife in his hand, shouted, and then took the lead in killing Deng Qiang's army. On his left side, it was Li Erhei, and on his right side was Zhou Tong, and the three of them were side by side, leading the army to rush over.

"Shoot the arrows!" When Deng Qiang saw the Huashan army rushing towards him, he couldn't help but look solemn, and when the two armies were closer, he ordered.

Suddenly, a rain of arrows flew out of the enemy formation, flying towards the soldiers of the Huashan Army. Many of the soldiers who rushed ahead had shields in their hands, so they blocked a lot of bows and arrows, but some of them fell directly after being shot.

In contrast, the speed of the cavalry was much faster, and in a few strokes it was already rushing through both flanks. As a result, Deng Qiang had to focus most of his attention on Peng Lin and them first, so that Li Xin, who was rushing head-on, found an opportunity.

Soon, the two armies met in close arms and collided together, and Li Xin threw aside the shield in his hand and killed directly with his sword. Behind him, more and more soldiers of the Huashan Army also rushed into the enemy formation, but at this time the sky was completely dark, so that there was some confusion between the two sides!
