Chapter 327: Precursor to the Great War

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

In fact, from Luoyang to Nanyang, there are two roads to go, one road is to pass through Yingchuan, and the other road is not to go to Yingchuan.

The Han army that entered Yingchuan was only 20,000 people, and if the casualties were removed, it would not even be 20,000, and the army under Wang Yi had a total of 430,000, and the strength of the Han army could not catch up with a fraction of his.

The strength of the two sides is no longer described by a huge difference, but a difference of more than 20 times. The gap in strength between the two sides is so large that it is not at the same level at all.

In this case, Wang Yi wants to bypass Yingchuan and take another road, which is simply an insult to his life for him, can he give Yan You a good face?

Wang Yi did not take Yan You's advice, and ordered the army under his command to go south into Yingchuan, first pacify the Han army in Yingchuan, and then march westward to Nanyang, and wipe out the Han army and the Han emperor Liu Xuan.

There are more than 10,000 people, boundless, more than 100,000 people, tearing the earth and the sky, and the army of more than 400,000 people, known as one million people, its scale can be imagined.

The front army that was the first to march from Luoyang alone had more than 100,000 people.

Although the more than 100,000 reckless troops are called the front army, they are still subdivided into the front army, the middle army, and the rear army, and even in the front army, there are thousands of vanguard troops.

The number of more than 400,000 troops is too large to be able to march in a swarm, and it needs to be drawn one after another.

The vanguard of the Mang army has entered Yangcheng in Yingchuan, and there are still tens of thousands of rear troops stationed in Luoyang and have not been opened, which shows the scale of this army, and it is not an exaggeration to describe Wang Yi as swallowing mountains and rivers.

Yangcheng is located on the north bank of Yingshui, and it is also one of the important piers to cross Yingshui. After the Mang army entered Yangcheng, they requisitioned all the ships in Yangcheng and the surrounding areas.

In the past few days, the Yingshui River has not stopped, large and small ships, back and forth, transporting the Mang army and the army's materials, grain and grass to the south bank of Yingshui in batches.

The first to cross Yingshui was naturally the vanguard of the Mang army. This army of thousands of people was led by the reckless generals Song Yi and Wang Lian.

Song Yi and Wang Lian were originally generals under the command of Taishi Wang Kuang, and they belonged to the old enemies of the Red Mei Army.

This time Wang Mang made up his mind to extinguish the Han army in Nanyang, and all the soldiers under Wang Kuang's command were temporarily requisitioned by Wang Yi and Wang Xun.

After crossing Yingshui, Song Yi and Wang Lian led thousands of vanguard troops to Yangguan, where Liu Xiu was located.

Don't look at Yangguan is not big, just a small pass in the land of a projectile, but its terrain is precipitous, one faces the mountain, the other faces the water, it is such a pass between the mountains and rivers, it is unique, easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Song Yi and Wang Lian arrived outside the city of Yangguan, raised their eyes and watched, although Yangguan was small, but the attacking side could not besiege on all sides, and could only fight one side, either from the north or from the south. After fighting with the Red Eyebrow Army for so long, Song Yi and Wang Lian have already tempered into experienced old foxes, just looking at the terrain of Yangguan, the two of them can judge that this pass, one husband should be a pass, and if they forcibly attack the city, it will be difficult to suffer casualties

to estimate.

Under normal circumstances, they came from a long journey, and when they arrived at Yangguan, they should rest for a day, and after setting up camp, they would fight again the next day.

However, Wang Yi, who was in charge of the Chinese army, did not take the Han army in his eyes at all, thinking that as soon as his army passed, the Han army he encountered would be gone. Knowing that the commander of his side is so happy, if Wang Yi knows that after they arrived at Yangguan, they did not immediately attack the city, and they rested for a day, it is estimated that even if they succeed in defeating Yangguan, they will make Wang Yi unhappy, and he may not know how to give it to him later

The two of them wear small shoes!

As soon as Song Yi and Wang Lian checked, they should not camp and rest, so they just started fighting!

The two of them did not recklessly order the whole army to attack, but sent their men to fight the enemy and curse the formation, hoping to provoke the defenders of Yangguan out, and everyone was outside the city, facing each other.

The tactics of the Han army in Yangzhai are now being used by the Mang army back on the Han army. There were hundreds of reckless soldiers, led by a school captain, standing outside Yangguan City, pulling their necks and shouting and scolding.

What a traitor, a thief, a traitor, a traitor, a thief never leaves his mouth, from Liu Xiu to Liu Xuan, from Liu Xuan to Liu Xuan, generation after generation of scolding, they are about to scold the ancestors of the Liu family.

Zhu You, Gai Yan, Fu Jun, Wang Ba and others standing on the city wall were all pale, looking at the reckless army outside the city, gritting their teeth, and their fists rattled.

Zhu You couldn't help it any longer, turned to Liu Xiu and said, "Lord, please allow your subordinates to go out of the city and fight the enemy!" ”

Liu Xiu is not afraid of the reckless army's scolding, no matter how hard you scold and how ugly it is, for me, it will not hurt or itch, but it will indeed affect the morale of the officers and men in the army.

He glanced at Zhu You, and then at his own indignant soldiers, his fingers gently rubbed the jade plate on his waist, and said: "Only Ayou fights alone, it seems that some people are alone. ”

Hearing this, Gai Yan, Fu Jun, and Wang Ba bowed their hands together, and said in unison: "Lord, please go to war!" ”

Liu Xiu turned his head to look at the spies on the other side and asked, "Who is the vanguard officer of this reckless army?" ”

The leader of the scouts hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Back to the lord, it's Song Yi and Wang Lian!" ”

"Song Yi and Wang Lian are all generals under Wang Kuang, and they have fought countless times with the Red Eyebrow Army, all of them are experienced veterans!"

Liu Xiu muttered, and then he smiled leisurely and said, "Two hundred soldiers, let's go out of the city to meet these two!" ”

"The lord is also going out of the city?" Zhu You and the others were also taken aback, and looked at Liu Xiu in surprise.

Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders with a relaxed face and said, "What are you afraid of, if you can't beat it, we'll turn around and go back to the city!" ”

The Mang army was scolding outside the city, and suddenly saw the north gate of Yangguan open, and a Han army rushed out of the city.

The reckless army who scolded the formation was startled, and turned to run, but when they looked closely, people were almost happy, and the Han army that rushed out of Yangguan City was only about 200 people, and there were not as many people as they were scolding!

Seeing this, the reckless army who scolded the formation did not run away, and a tun commander urged the horse to run forward for a distance, and shouted at the Han army on the opposite side: "Who is coming, report the name!" ”

Hearing that no one spoke on the other side, the tun chief urged the horse to run a distance again, and shouted: "My general, there is the virtue of a good life, you wait for the thief, if you are obediently captured, there is a way to live, if you resist to the end, the chicken and dog will not stay ......"

Before he finished speaking, he listened! Burst! With two consecutive sounds, a carved arrow fell from the sky and hit him in the chest. The chief's shouting stopped abruptly, shook his horse a few times, and fell headlong, lying on the ground without moving.

When the captain at the head saw it, he was so angry that he screamed, lifted an iron spear from the victory hook, urged the horse out of the ranks, and shouted: "What kind of ability is it to hurt people with anti-thieves and arrows? Whoever releases an arrow will come out and die! ”

It was Fu Jun who shot the commander of the Mang army with an arrow. Hearing the other party's clamour, he turned his head to look at Liu Xiu and said, "Princess? ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Ziwei be careful!" ”

"The subordinates have orders!" While speaking, Fu Jun urged the horse and rushed straight to the captain opposite. Fu Junke can not only shoot arrows from a long distance, but his melee skills are not weak, a long halberd, killing bravely, unstoppable.

Seeing that the person who released the cold arrow came out to fight, the captain clamped the horse's belly with his feet and went up to meet Fu Jun. The horses of both sides marched in the opposite direction, and soon came into contact.

The captain snorted, first snatched out a spear, straight to Fu Jun's chest, Fu Jun picked the halberd outward, and listened to the sound, the iron spear was bounced up so high, and before the other party could collect the spear, the halberd in his hand swept forward horizontally.

Syllable! The halberd was whipped into the lieutenant's chest, knocking him upside down from his horse and falling to the ground with a muffled pop.

The lieutenant was dizzy, his chest was stuffy, and he spat out the old blood, and before he could take a breath, Fu Jun, who urged him to step forward, stabbed him in the chest with a halberd.

Burst! The tip of the halberd poked out from behind the captain, who screamed and died. Seeing this, the reckless soldiers on the opposite side were so frightened that their hairs stood on end, and they dared to stay anywhere, so they turned around and ran back one by one.

While Song Yi and Wang Lian, who were watching the battle in the rear, were furious, they were also secretly surprised in their hearts, who is this general of the Han army, not only accurate archery, but also amazing martial arts!

The two glanced at each other, and Wang Lian said in a condensed voice: "General Song, I'll fight him!" ”

Song Yi and Wang Lian are both good at fighting, but relatively speaking, the former is better at strategizing and governing the army, and the latter is better at charging into battle.

Hearing that Wang Lian was planning to fight, Song Yi pondered for a moment, and Zhengse reminded: "This person has good martial arts skills, and his archery skills are outstanding, he is by no means an ordinary person, General Wang must not underestimate the enemy!" ”

Wang Lian nodded and smiled, and said proudly: "General Song, don't worry, I'll go back when I go!" ”

Wang Lian, who has long been accustomed to fighting with the Red Eyebrow Army, really didn't take the Han Army seriously.

The Han army is only tens of thousands of people, and the Red Eyebrow Army sends tens of thousands of troops at every turn.

Wang Lian's weapon was a spear, he urged the horse to come to the front of the two armies, looked at Fu Jun opposite, looked at it, and then pointed the gun in his hand at Fu Jun, and shouted: "Come and get the name together!" ”

"Captain Han, Fu Jun!"

Captain! Wang Lian snorted, shook the spear in his hand, and said, "Nobody! You go back and change Liu Xiu to fight me! ”

"If you want to fight my lord, you have to pass my Fu Jun first!" Fu Jun's face was expressionless, but he just turned the halberd in his hand horizontally.

"If you look for death, I will fulfill you!" Wang Lian urged the war horse under his crotch, and went straight to Fu Jun with a gun.

It seemed that his shot was straight to Fu Jun's face, but when the tip of the gun was about to stab Fu Jun closely, it suddenly moved down and stabbed him in the lower abdomen.

This sudden change of tactics is really unguardable. Fu Jun was also secretly frightened, this person's marksmanship is not simple.

He flicked it outward with the tail of his halberd, and when the spear that pierced his lower abdomen was blocked, and when the two horses were staggered, Wang Lian hit Fu Jun directly under the ribs with the tail of the gun.

Fu Jun used the halberd to block again, and when the war horses of the two sides had staggered, Wang Lian suddenly made another move back to the carbine, stabbing Fu Jun in the back of the heart.

The three tricks used by Wang Lian are called 'three shots over the horse', which are also the purest and most handy three moves he uses. When fighting against the enemy, few people can retreat under his three shots. Today, however, he has encountered exceptions. When Wang Lian's spear was about to stab Fu Jun in the back of the heart, the latter suddenly leaned forward, and when he heard a thud, the spear almost stuck to Fu Jun's backbone, whistling past.
