The battle of Jiangcheng finally kicked off under the orders of Chu general Teng Yun.

For Chu, this was just an insignificant war on the way to conquest. The seven generations of Ming Jun of the Chu State, the blue wisps of the road, and the hard work, how could they survive in the troubled times? The intention of the king of Chu in the world is not as abrupt as Husthis, not as exposed as the Song State, and has been dormant. At present, the state of Chu is at its peak, how can it be satisfied with the status quo?

For the man, this is a patriotic battle, which is related to the fortune of the country, and if it is defeated, the national honor will not exist.

Sixty-seven thousand against 120,000, the two armies spread out their positions west of Jiangcheng, and both had the determination to win.

To the west of Jiangcheng is the Jiangzhou Plain washed out by the Tongjiang River and Qishui, which is not very vast, and can barely spread out to forty or fifty thousand people.

Teng Yun ordered Huang Yan to lead the left army of 20,000 to attack, and the remaining 100,000 people to stand by in the back.

Huang Yan received the order, hit the wood first, and the hundred chariots were lined up, behind the chariot were 10,000 foot soldiers, and on both sides were 10,000 cavalry.

On the side of the Fang army, Ba Chuang and Ling Han were recuperating, and Fan Di had almost no generals under him, so he had to send Bayang Doctor Rango to battle.

Rango received the order and led 10,000 troops out of the city, all of them were foot soldiers.

Lan Ge was also recommended by Jiang Wangshu, and he was more willing to govern the people than to govern the army, so Ling Han was a general of the Jiangzhou Army, and he was a doctor in Bayang.

Governing the people in his spare time and governing the army in wartime, Lan Ge once followed Jiang Wangshu to fight in the Qi Kingdom, although his combat power was not as good as Ling Han's, but his strategy was even worse.

Ling Han can be a general, and Lan Ge can be a handsome.

When Rango went out of the city, he did not rush to charge, but put 15,000 soldiers on standby.

The chariot was less than a hundred steps away, and Ling Han did not move.

The chariot was less than ten steps away, and Ling Han did not move.

"Spear." The chariot was already a few steps away in the blink of an eye, and Ling Han shouted loudly.

The soldiers in the front row held spears, not so much long hairs as pointed wood, which Rango personally led the army to cut down before the war.

The chariots roared and crashed into the spears, and all the chariots were destroyed.

"Damn." In order to take the lead, Huang Yan relied on his superior force and drove first. The chariot was destroyed, and he jumped out of the car in embarrassment, but he was surrounded by the fang army, with only dozens of Chu soldiers beside him.

"Huang Yan is a fool and misunderstands me." Teng Yun sighed in the back, this idiot Huang Yan, drove over the collision wood and went straight into the enemy formation, did he really think that the world was invincible? Don't say that it's his yellow man, even if his husband is wrong, he doesn't dare to enter the enemy formation alone.

When Lan Ge saw Huang Yan jumping out of the car, he ordered to capture and surround Huang Yan. Dozens of Chu troops desperately protected Huang Yan, but the foot soldiers were still a hundred steps away, and dozens of Chu troops were all damaged, leaving only Huang Yan.

"General."

The 10,000 cavalry of the Chu army originally came from both sides, but unexpectedly they were consumed by arrows again, and half of them were lost. At present, Huang Yan was in danger, and the cavalry had to sprint in the rain of arrows and kill the enemy.

"Capture the yellow diaphragm alive, and the spear will rise again." Rango ordered.

The fang army on both sides held spears against the Chu cavalry, and the frontal soldiers surrounded Huang Yan, who resisted desperately with his sword and was finally captured.

Before the foot soldiers arrived, the cavalry charged, which was a taboo on the battlefield. Jiangcheng's archers were condescending, bending their bows and arrows to shoot over half of the cavalry, and the remaining 5,000 cavalry had just arrived in front of the battle, eager to save people, but they were stopped by spears, and people turned over on their backs.

At sunset, the clouds are like colorful clothes in the hands of the raccoon girl, washing out mottled colors in the citrus river and Qishui.

Before the collision arrived, Huang Yan was captured, the chariot overturned, and the cavalry was damaged. 10,000 foot soldiers charged to the battlefield, and the fang army was waiting for work.

"Drumming." Rango ordered.

The fang army beat the drum, and the 13,000 fang army discarded the pointed wooden spears in their hands, replaced them with spears, ge, knives, and swords, and slaughtered into the enemy formation.

"Rango is also a person recommended by Jiang Hou?" Xiang Xi's expression was very happy, and the overlord gun Zhai Yu was famous in Chu, but he was killed by Ling Han, a nobody, in Chu; Now that this is the first time that Rango has played, he has such a strategy and has the upper hand.

Ba Chuang forgot to glance at Ling Han in the distance, his eyes were half appreciative and half resentful, and replied: "Wang, Jiang Hou once said that Ling Han can be a general, and Lan Ge can be a handsome."

"Jiang Hou has a heart, and he will leave a general and a handsome man for the widow." Xiang Xi's smile gradually solidified, and when Jiang Hou was mentioned, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. If Jiang Hou is here, how can the Chu army break through Qianzhong, take Fuling, go down to the capital, and refer to Jiangcheng.

"Haven't you heard from Jiang Hou yet? What about Taifu? "Before the destruction of the capital, Taifu Riqin Boxian and Jiang Hou disappeared together, he didn't care about looking for it, he just hoped that Taifu was okay and Jiang Hou was fine.

"I've been looking for it, Taifu must know about the siege of the Chu army, and if Jiang Hou wakes up, he will definitely come to retreat from the enemy." Uncle Taishi replied.

Uncle Qing has already let go of his prejudices, compared to the hatred of the country, what is the difference between those political opinions between the pillars and ministers?

"General Teng, give the order to retreat." Cai Chun saw that Huang Yan's army was defeated, and he really couldn't bear to make another senseless sacrifice for 10,000 soldiers.

"Huang Yan is proud of his high merit and deserves to be defeated. It's too late to retire now, so let's leave it at that. Teng Yun's expression was indifferent, the three brothers of the Huang family, one was more arrogant than the other, and he had a gap with Huang Yan, so it was better to die.

The Chu army retreated, and the battle ended on the first day.

The Chu general Huang Yan was captured, 20,000 soldiers were all lost, and the Chu army was defeated, which was the biggest defeat.

On the side of the Fang State, the 15,000 Jiang army suffered 6,000 casualties, although there were 5,000 archers from Jiangcheng to help, but the first merit was none other than Lango.

King Xiang Xi is not a stingy person, as a monarch, he will naturally reward and punish clearly, so he said to Lan Ge: "Lan Ge, in today's battle, you are the first meritorious." There are still vacancies. ”

Zhigui, this is a great honor, Jiang Wangshu is already middle-aged, and Lango is only in his early twenties, isn't this more than an honor?

"King, today's battle depends on the brave fighting of the soldiers." Rango is not arrogant, and he is even more impressed.

"My king personally came to supervise the battle, and the soldiers fought bravely to kill the enemy, and they were united in their hearts, and they will definitely retreat from the enemy." The young master couldn't help but pat his ass.

If it is usual, King Xiang Xi will not only not punish Xiang Xi, after all, he is his own uncle, but he will be very useful. Today is different, whether it is Ling Han or Lan Ge, they are young but young and promising, on the other hand, lovesickness, except for flattery, they will only sit and enjoy glory.

Acacia is not only the four major deacons, but also the young master, and now middle-aged, whether it is a battlefield battle or a governance of the country and the people, he has made no achievements. Compared to Ling Han and Lan Ge, it pales in comparison.

Xiang Xi snorted coldly and said, "The Chu army will definitely not give up, young master, you will go to war tomorrow."

Acacia hated that he shouldn't talk much, so he had to answer the order with a bitter face.

Acacia is wrong, there are very few available generals now, and he will go into battle sooner or later, just sooner or later.

Taibao Fan Tu let the generals deliberate, and the people who came were Zhigui Bachuang, Young Master Acacia, Bayang Dafu Lango, Jiangzhou Military General Ling Han, and more than 10,000 commanders, and no one else. The deliberations of the five people were somewhat cold, and Fan Di sent someone to invite the commander of the thousand and the young general of the Shuli Palace.

Although he won the first battle today, Fan Di did not dare to let go of his heart, the enemy was outnumbered, and Jiangcheng was a lonely city.

"Young Master, tomorrow you go out of the city to fight, be careful." Fan Di admonished Acacia. He understands Acacia, and although he doesn't have much affection for him, he can't bear to see him die.

Acacia said impatiently, "Got it."

Fan Di didn't have time to pay attention to him, and asked Ba Chuang: "Chuang, the rebels from all over the country have come to help, but it's a pity that Jiangcheng is surrounded and impassable, and now I can't get out, please go and gather soldiers and horses, and the inside and outside should be together."

Ba Chuang nodded sullenly, he just charged into battle, and Fan Di was in charge of the idea.

The commander of the thousand and the young general of the Shuli Palace rushed to come, and there were seven commanders, namely Ba Yan, Fan Qian, Du Age, Liu Ling, Yang Que, Yang Xian, and Zhao Mu.

Most of the lieutenant generals of the Jiang State Army are from the Shuli Palace, and there are five young generals in the Shuli Palace, namely Ba Man, Ba Mang, Shi Feng, Qin Mengting, and Jing Qijun.

"Qi Jun, what are you doing? Monkey business. Fan Di couldn't help but be annoyed when he saw Jing Qijun coming over.

"Lord Taibao said, the anti-commander and above and the people who are superior in force in the Shuli Palace have come to discuss the matter." Jing Qijun muttered.

A year ago, Jing Qijun learned swords and became the first female swordsman in Shuli Palace. The fang capital was shattered, and there were only forty-six swordsmen left in the Shuli Palace, and twenty women's swordsmen left. Shuli Palace is the brainchild of Fan Di, and every swordsman is the future pillar of the Fang Kingdom. The country is about to die, and these teenage boys and girls are like seedlings, and they mature early before they have time to tassel.

"Okay, I ordered as a Taibao, and Jing Qijun, a swordsman from Shuli Xinggong, enlisted in the army to participate in the war." Fan Di doesn't love this adopted daughter, even more than his only son Fan Qian. Qi Jun wanted to practice swords, and he agreed; Qi Jun didn't marry King Fang, but he still agreed; Qi Jun wanted to enlist in the army and participate in the war, but he finally agreed.

"This is a battle to defend the country, the township brave and righteous troops are on the way to come, tomorrow the young master will go out of the city to meet the enemy, and Zhiguiba will take the opportunity to escape from the encirclement, this is the plan." Fan Di said.

The deliberations of the fang army were headed by Fan Di. The first row is Zhigui Bachuang, Zhigui Acacia, Bayang Dafu Lango, and Jiangzhou Military General Ling Han. Behind them are the seven commanders, and after the commanders are the five young generals of the Shuli Palace.

Fan Di first walked towards Acacia, bowed down, and said, "Tomorrow's battle, there will be Young Master Lao."

Acacia saw Fan Di perform this great gift, surprised but more moved, he restrained his frivolous look, knelt down on one knee and replied: "The last general will do his best."

Fan Di walked to Ba Chuang again, bowed down again, and said: "Chuang only loses to Jiang Hou by force, and if you break into the battle, please ask Zhigui."

Ba Chuang helped Fan Di up, and he rarely sighed, who had always been vulgar: "I really got the name right."

Fan Di walked to Bayang Dafu Lango, bowed and saluted, and Chen Ken said: "There is a successor to Jianghou, I have already told the king, if I die in battle, you can lead the troops."

Rango breathed heavily, got down on one knee, and replied bitterly: "How can Rango be deed."

Fan Di pulled up Lan Ge and walked towards Ling Han, the general of the Jiangzhou Military Department. Ling Han was very appetizing to him, and with one shot, he pierced the overlord spear Zhai Yu, and he asked himself if he could do it. Fan Di bowed and saluted, and said: "The hero is a young man, Jiang Hou is not here, Ba Chuang broke into battle, Jiang Cheng asked the general to guard."

Ling Han threw his gun on the ground and answered for him.

Fan Di walked to the seven commanders again, still bowed and saluted, and said, "Tomorrow, I will break into the battle, please ask the generals to cover."

Ba Yan is a side branch of Ba, Fan Qian is the only son of Fan Di, and Duage, Liu Ling, Yang Que, Yang Xian, and Zhao Mu are also leaders in the army.

Of the seven thousand commanders, the eldest is Ba Yan, if I remember correctly, I just had a son last year, and the youngest is Zhao Mu, who is only seventeen years old.

The seven commanders all knelt on one knee and replied in unison, "The last general will obey."

Fan Di didn't dare to look at Fan Qian, he was afraid that he would shed tears in front of the generals. It's too shameful to be a national CPA.

Fan Di crossed the seven commanders and came to the five young generals of the Shuli Palace.

Ba Man and Ba Mang are the sons of Ba Chuang, two brothers and one mother, and they will be crowned in a few days, and they are considered adults.

As his name suggests, Shi Fengren's nine-foot head can't hide his chin and green beard, which is not much bigger than Ba Man and Ba Mang.

Qin Mengting is the descendant whom Fan Di admires the most, with the talent of a general and a good strategy in the art of war.

Jing Qijun is the daughter of Fan Di's old man and the first female swordsman in Shuli Palace. Fan Di regarded him as his own, and he preferred to put on a bright wedding dress for Qi Jun rather than a cold armor.

These children should be generals and handsome talents in the future, but it's a pity.

"I order you in the name of the palace master of Shuli Xinggong to live well," Fan Di could no longer hold back the tears in his eyes, and he couldn't cry for a long time, and then he choked up, "Unless it is absolutely necessary." ”

The next day, the Chu army came to attack the city again. Having learned the lesson of yesterday, Teng Yun no longer sent cavalry to charge, but the foot soldiers went first, followed by the archers.

Cai Chun led the troops and advanced step by step.

Chu general Cai Chun, the force is not as good as Zhai Yu, Teng Yun ordered him to lead the army, only thinking that Cai Chun is cautious by nature and will not risk his life like Huang Yan.

Acacia led the army to fight, and the two armies faced each other. The drums beat suddenly, and the two armies charged.

Jiangcheng arrows were fired in succession, and the rain of arrows was overwhelming, enveloping the hatred of the fang army, and directly attacking the Chu army's military formation.

"Raise your shield." Cai Chun saw that the old tricks of the fang army were repeated, so he stopped the pace of the charge, and the shield soldiers raised their shields to protect the sergeants around him.

After a round of arrow rain, the Chu army suffered no more than a few hundred casualties. Teng Yun sneered, and wanted to repeat the old tricks, really thought that the Chu people were all Huang Yan and the like?

"Shoot the arrows." Cai Chun ordered.

The archers of the Chu army bent their bows and arrows, and returned them in full.

Acacia didn't expect the Chu army to release arrows, he also thought that the two armies would charge and fight, and then there would be a rain of arrows to cover, what Lan Ge could do, he could do better.

The rain of arrows was overwhelming, and the army of the fang army was bitter again and again, and before the battle, more than 1,000 people were killed and wounded.

After the rain of arrows, Cai Chun came down to attack again, the Chu army's shield soldiers covered, the archers retreated, and the foot soldiers charged with spears and Changge.

Fan Di stood on the city to supervise the battle, the two armies were in short arms, Jiangcheng archers became decorations, and everything depended on Acacia.

Ba Chuang rode out with a thousand dead soldiers, wanting to bypass the Chu army from the trail, and then cross the Futu Pass, wade through the Fang River, and go to Nanjun City to assemble the township brave army.

"Look, General." Chu general Shang Kunwang saw Ba Chuang and a group of men and horses out of the city, at first he thought that he was going to attack Cai Chun's rear army, but this group of men and horses went out of the city and turned to the path, where they could go straight to Futu Pass.

Teng Yun looked along, and sure enough, more than a thousand rode away. Teng Yun didn't care, but there were thousands of people, and he had already set up four ambushes on this trail, totaling 10,000 people, and it was difficult for even a bird to fly out of Jiangcheng.

As soon as Ba Chuang arrived on the riverside, he saw the first ambush army, with a total of more than 2,000 people.

Chu General Chen Zhen was arranged to guard the riverside, thinking that it was an idle matter, and he felt aggrieved, but unfortunately there was really a fang army to break into the battle, where did he remember the ambush, and directly led the army to kill Ba Chuang.

Zhigui Ba Chuang, together with Liu Ling, Yang Que, Yang Xian, and Zhao Mu, the four commanders, led a thousand light horsemen to break into the battle, and met the Chu general Chen Zhen on a narrow road.

"Kill."

There was no superfluous language, no unnecessary hesitation, and the two armies were killed together.

A thousand dead men fought hard with the heart of death, and fought fiercely for half an hour, and the remaining four hundred.

The Chu general Chen Zhen died, and 2,000 Chu troops were buried on the banks of the river.

There was no time to rest, Ba Chuang continued to ride his horse forward, walked two miles, and met the captive army in Huaxi again.

Chu general Xun Zhixu set up an ambush, and the light rider in the front row was tripped and fell off the horse.

The Chu army was 3,000 and the Fang army was 400.

"Zhigui, the last general will stop it for you." Liu Ling's voice did not fall, and he entered the enemy formation, like a moth to a fire, like a mantis arm as a car.

Huaxi is two zhang wide, Ba Chuang turned the horse's head and rode the horse up. Ma Yuehua Creek, turn the road and go straight to Futu Pass.

Yang Que led 400 dead soldiers to resist the Chu army, and Ba Chuang was around, leaving only Yang Xian and Zhao Mu.

The three horses jumped over Huaxi and escaped from the front of the Chu army, but they had to make a detour to Futuguan again.

The three horsemen were blessed by misfortune, the horse jumped over the flower stream, turned the road through the dense forest, avoided the two captive armies in the rear, and then went forward, it was Futu Pass.

Out of Futu Pass, go to Nanjun City, gather people and horses, this is Fan Di's death order to Ba Chuang, even if he dies, he will die again in Nanjun.

There was no Chu army in Futu Pass, Ba Chuang breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not dare to relax, and the three horsemen moved forward cautiously.

"It's funny, you can actually break into here." How can there be no one in Futu Pass? Chu General Juchen led the troops to be stationed here to prevent the Yongyi Army of Tongguo Township, and did not want to wait for Ba Chuang.

There are 10,000 Chu troops and three Ba Chuang.

My name is Ba Chuang, and death is also a pass. Ba Chuang drew his sword and faced Ju Chen, this floating map pass, he had to break through no matter what.

"I heard that the Marquis of Liangzhou, known as Jinghong, said that he was a shocking guest in the world, but unfortunately I couldn't see it. You and I know, the reckless man broke into the battle and killed many generals of my Chu army. Ju Chen didn't move, as if he was meeting an old friend.

It's a pity that Ba Chuang is a reckless man, Ba Chuang drew his knife and stepped forward, pointed directly at Ju Chen, and said: "You will be the next to be killed."

"Do you dare to bet with me?" Ju Chen smiled, "You don't have a choice. You fight with me, you win, let you out. ”

"Really?" Ba Chuang's palms were sweaty, he was not Jiang Hou, he couldn't break through the enemy formation.

"The eldest husband was born between heaven and earth, and he has always stood up to the heavens and the earth, how can he rebel against him," Ju Chen finished speaking, and said to the 10,000 soldiers, "Can you hear me?" ”

10,000 Chu troops shouted in unison: "Whoa."

Ba Chuang had to gamble because he had no choice. Ba Chuang held a knife, Ju Chen also held a knife, the two were no longer verbose, and drew knives to each other.

Ju Chen has always been above the top, and he has gaps with many Chu generals, and he is not welcome. However, this person does have the ability to be proud, among the generals of the Chu State, the force that is stronger than him is not as good as him, and the strategy of outperforming him by force cannot catch up with him.

There has long been a gap between Teng Yun and Ju Chen, and everyone knows it, so Teng Yun sent him to this Futu Pass, out of sight and out of mind.

Jiang Hou's sword, Ba Chuang's knife, is the most deadly.

Ba Chuang is known as the second person under Jiang Hou, is it a waste of fame? Don't say that Juchen is alone, even if all the 10,000 Chu troops come, he will also break through.

Juchen is a Miao person, and the saber is naturally a Miao blade. Most of the knives used by the Chu people are Jing knives, and the Jing knives are the wood-cutting knives when the southern Jing people opened the mountains and forests on the blue wisps, and they are known for their lightness. The Miao blade is the Miao people's saber for fighting beasts, which is full of heaviness.
