Chapter 69: The Kingdom Is Still the Most Important Thing

Pan Long shot away a Chu sergeant in front of him, and rushed towards Chen Rui.

Pan Long is menacing, or just right, Chen Rui naturally saw him, for this person's bravery, he just witnessed it, naturally he will not underestimate it, his eyes are slightly condensed, flashing with excitement.

It's been a long time since he's met an evenly matched opponent, someone like Kou Yuande whose skills are higher than him has only one way to fight for his life, and this Pan Long gives him the feeling that he is between him and him.

And if he is cut off on the spot, the Liang army will be defeated, and the victory will belong to them in this tentative battle between the two sides.

Now he is also a military general, why is it not his wish to make meritorious contributions to generals?

Zhang Ning was shocked when he saw Pan Long rushing towards Chen Rui, and wanted to step forward to help, but because he was a little excited about killing before, he was too far away from Chen Rui and couldn't rescue him.

Pan Long rushed over like an arrow from the string, and Chen Rui did not show weakness, and slapped the war horse under his crotch, and the war horse felt the master's fighting spirit and ran out like a thunderbolt.

The eyes of the two met in the air, bursting out with brilliant sparks, like the tip of a needle against a wheat.

At this time, they all understood that the brave man wins when they meet on a narrow road, and the master can decide the victory with a single move, and both of them have the idea of victory, vowing to cut the enemy under the horse.

In a few breaths, the distance between the two was constantly shrinking, and they ignored the shouts and killings, screams, and horses' hooves next to them, and they only looked at each other.

Liang Jun and Chu Jun also chose to retreat when they saw the momentum of the two and made room for them.

After three breaths, the two were less than three feet apart, Pan Long waved the spear in his hand, and Chen Rui exerted the strength of his whole body to the extreme, including internal strength.

Fortunately, after these few days of recuperation, his internal injuries are unhindered, and his strength has recovered.

The voices of the outside world were almost frozen at this time, and the eyes of everyone around them unconsciously looked at these two figures, as if they had forgotten the enemies around them, and held their breath.

"Childe," Zhang Ning anxiously rushed here.

One breath and another.

"Bell!"

The figures of the two interacted with each other, and the weapons of the two collided in the air, and at this moment time seemed to freeze, and space seemed to stand still.

This blow is a dead end!

The people around him came back to their senses at this sound and killed the enemy in front of them.

Chen Rui reined in the reins of the horse and stopped the galloping war horse.

On the battlefield, whoever can launch a second attack in the shortest possible time will have an absolute advantage.

Pan Long also understands this truth.

The two faced each other again, their pupils reflecting each other.

"Drive!"

The two of them rushed forward almost at the same time, this time vowing to win and lose.

Facing an enemy who was less than a few feet, Chen Rui's Qingxiao sword in his body was in full swing, and his whole body strength and internal strength were once again exerted to the extreme.

"Bell!

Chen Rui's helmet flew into the air, he shook his dizzy head, pulled the reins hard, and slowly turned the horse's head.

On the other side, Pan Long's war horse was still galloping, and the figure on the horse was still straight, but if you looked at it from the front, you could see blood gushing from his throat.

Soon after, the erect body fell weakly, and the horse screamed when he felt his master die.

But at the moment of interaction, Chen Rui wanted to bow his head to dodge the spear that swept over, but Pan Long swung the spear too fast and hit the top of his helmet, if it was at night, Chen Rui would be beaten into a concussion even if his head was still there.

At the same time, the sword in Chen Rui's hand slashed Pan Long's throat.

When the nearby Liang army saw this scene, Pan Long's personal soldiers saw this scene, their eyes were split, and they rushed to Chen Rui angrily, and at this time, Zhang Ning rushed to block in front of Chen Rui.

And more of the Liang army is panicked, the lord will live and die, and defeat has become inevitable.

I don't know who shouted: "The Lord is dead, why don't you get off your horse and surrender!" ”

After the general of the Chu army reacted, he also shouted: "The main general is dead, why don't you get off your horse and surrender quickly!" ”

……

The sonic boom shook the sky.

The entire forward army of the Liang Army knew the news of the life and death of the main general, and for a while they had no fighting spirit, and hurriedly fled on horseback.

Chen Rui naturally wouldn't order to chase after him, not because he couldn't catch up, but because there were still 80,000 iron horsemen behind them, wouldn't chasing them die if they chased them?

At this point, the two armies fought for the first time, ending in the victory of the Chu army.

The next step is to clean up the battlefield and count the casualties.

Although the Chu army won, it was also a miserable victory, the entire vanguard battalion of 2,000 people, easily not counted, more than 1,000 casualties, seven or eight hundred killed, four or five hundred seriously wounded.

The officers and men of the two armies also suffered more than 1,000 casualties, 7 or 800 were killed, and 3 or 400 were captured.

The Liang army behind obviously had no intention of saving these people, because they didn't want to fight a decisive battle at this time, their 200,000 army was behind them, and they would arrive in a few days, and after the rest was completed, they could occupy an absolute advantage in terms of troops.

And now in the decisive battle, they do not have an advantage in troops, not to mention the loss of troops, and the victory or defeat is unpredictable.

Of course, the most important thing is that there is no certainty of victory, if it is defeated, the Chu army will carry a big victory, not to mention more than 200,000 Liang troops, even 500,000 can be resisted.

The most important thing in fighting a war is morale, no matter which military book emphasizes that morale is the most important thing, teaching how to use morale to win, and the key to many strategies is morale.

So these people can only watch as they are captured by the Chu army, there are not enough hundreds of people, and it is harmless, Xie Wu turned around, looked at the generals who had underestimated the enemy before, and said: "War, if you don't fight until the last moment, no one knows the outcome of the battle." ”

After speaking, regardless of the looks of several people, he strode off the lookout, turned on his horse, and ordered the withdrawal of troops.

In the camp of the Qin army, Lu Han showed appreciation on his face and said: "Although Chen Gongzi is young and has flaws in commanding the war, he is not chaotic in the face of danger, and he has the style of a great general in the midst of the crisis. ”

"Yes! The flaws are not hidden, and Chen Gongzi's future is promising. Lu Han nodded approvingly.

Du Gui snorted coldly: "It's just the courage of the horseman, he still has a long way to go." ”

Although he looked disdainful and his tone was not very good, people who were familiar with him could hear the appreciation from his words, Lu Han and Nie Yi glanced at each other and smiled.

In the big tent of the Chu army, a soldier rushed into the big tent of the Chinese army and said loudly: "Report to the general, our army narrowly won, General Chen led the army to kill more than 700 enemies, captured more than 400 prisoners, and got 500 horses." ”

"How much damage did our army have?" Pang Xiong, who was sitting on the handsome seat, asked.

"More than 700 of our troops were killed and 300 were seriously wounded."

Pang Xiong nodded: "Go down!" ”

"The field battle can defeat the iron cavalry with foot cavalry, General Chen is worthy of being the person that His Majesty likes, but General Pang, although our army has won, but the enemy army has 200,000 reinforcements, a total of 300,000 troops, and our army is less than 200,000, if it continues to be consumed for a long time, it will be unfavorable to our army, so the last general suggested that we should close the door and wait for reinforcements."

A veteran with a gray beard stood up at the bottom and said, he is Wei Chishun, who has a lot of qualifications and prestige, and he also has a certain right to speak in the court of Chu State.

If you don't fight, how can you accomplish what Your Majesty has told us? However, the old general's words could not be ignored, Pang Xiong said warmly: "What the old general said is reasonable, but the reinforcements of the Liang army have not yet arrived, if we can take the opportunity to win a few games, we can also improve the morale of our army." ”

Wei Chishun thought about it, so he didn't say much.

For Chen Rui, Pang Xiong is a little contradictory, he hopes that he will lose, it is best to die, but he doesn't want him to lose, because losing is another blow to the morale of the Chu army, which is not conducive to defending the Liang army.

However, he still hoped that Chen Rui could win, because when he heard that Chen Rui had won, he felt relieved in his heart, because in his heart, the country was still the most important.
