Chapter 21: Heads-up (Asking for a Few Referral Votes)
In the east of Shouchun City, the 5,000 Chu troops who had previously swept out of the city had already completed the formation.
Xiang Zhuang wore a black iron helmet on his head, straddled a black horse, held a big iron halberd in his hand, and hunted in the wind with a bearskin behind his back, like a god of war from the heavenly realm, but the horse galloped back and forth in front of the formation, and then led forward with the iron halberd in his hand, and the five thousand Chu troops suddenly cheered like a tsunami.
Le Ma turned back, and the 5,000 Han army had approached within 1,000 steps.
The next moment, the Han army also sounded in the continuous horn sound, in the desolate and distant horn sound, two thousand Han army armor soldiers slowly forward, after the formation was completed, the big shield in the hand to the ground slammed, tied the foot, and then the formation flag was opened, dozens of horsemen came out of the formation, the first person, wearing heavy armor, was Fan Xu.
Xiang Zhuang raised the big iron halberd in his hand slightly, and the cheers of the five thousand Chu troops suddenly stopped.
Xiang Zhuang then urged the black horse to step forward slowly, and when there was still a stone's throw away from the Han army's main formation, he stopped his horse, and immediately shouted: "Xiang Zhuang, the general of Great Chu, is here, who dares to fight with me!?" ”
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
As soon as the words fell, the five thousand Chu troops slammed their halberds or swords against their shields, shouting and demonstrating.
In the opposite formation, Fan Hao frowned in an instant, Xiang Zhuang is so small, riding a black horse and taking a broken iron halberd, is he really taking himself as Xiang Yu? However, such a small is not worth Lao Fan's personal action, and at that moment Fan Hao looked back at the generals behind him and said: "Who dares to go out and take Xiang Zhuang's dog head?" ”
Sima Luohu of the other department came out of the queue in response and shouted loudly: "The young general is willing to go!" ”
After that, without waiting for Fan Xu to agree, he had already urged the horse out of the battle and went straight to Xiangzhuang.
In this era, when generals participate in large-scale melee battles, they will definitely choose foot combat, because horse battles consume too much physical strength, but when generals fight each other, they mostly choose horse battles, because horse battles are more lethal, and for generals, short-term horse battles will not cause them physical overdraft.
Seeing that there were Han generals in battle, Xiang Zhuang raised his iron halberd slightly and greeted him with a horse.
The cold wind whistled past the ears, the ground under his feet fell back like a tide, only a moment of effort, Xiang Zhuang and Han General Rahu had already intersected two horses, Xiang Zhuang roared, and the round iron halberd swept towards the Han general Rahu, the Han general Rahu was not to be outdone, and also rounded the iron halberd and swept it for tat.
Hearing the explosion of "Qiang", the Han general Rahu suddenly flew upside down from the horse.
An exclamation suddenly sounded in the Han army's formation, and Fan Xu's eyes couldn't help but widen, Sima Luohu, who was known for his bravery, was swept off his horse by Xiang Zhuang after only one battle? How is this possible!? Xiang Zhuang is so small, could it be that Xiang Yu is possessed? How could it be so brave otherwise?
The Chu army's array erupted in cheers like a landslide and a crack.
Whether it was Huan Chu and Ji Bu, who were straightforward by nature, or Zhong Liwu and Xiao Gongjiao, who had a resolute personality, or even Yu Ziqi, who had always been moody, all roared hysterically, and Jing Qian, Gao Chu and the five hundred personal soldiers were even more forgetful to beat their breastplates wildly with their fists, like a beast, banging.
In the distance, at the head of Shouchun City, Yu Ji was watching the battle from afar under the escort of Qin Yu, witnessing Xiang Zhuang so mighty, Yu Ji couldn't help but recall Xiang Yu's demeanor, King, King, are you really no longer alive? Yu Ji wants to follow you under Jiuquan, but Yu Ji promised you that you must see the revival of Chu with your own eyes......
In front of the two armies, Xiang Zhuang had already caught up with the Han general Rahu who had fled from the desert, according to the Rahu vest only a halberd, Rahu fell to the ground, and the corpse was on the spot, Xiang Zhuang cut off the head of Rahu with two halberds, and then poked it with the tip of the halberd and then raised it high in the air, and in an instant, the five thousand Chu troops roared and cheered more and more forgetfully.
"The Chu army is mighty!" Xiang Zhuang raised his arms and roared.
"The Admiral is mighty!"
"The Admiral is mighty!"
"The Admiral is mighty!"
Five thousand Chu troops responded with an unprecedented boost in morale.
Xiang Zhuang threw the head of the Han general Rahu far back in front of the Han army, and the Han army's morale suddenly fluctuated and its morale was depressed.
Seeing this, Fan Hao was immediately furious, thinking that at the Hongmen banquet back then, he didn't even pay attention to Xiang Yu, who was able to pull out the mountain, how could he be afraid of Xiang Zhuang, who was small? At that moment, Fan Hao wanted to urge the horse to come out, but before he could get out of the horse, the fake Sima Gaoxian and Jiang Wei had already both urged the horse to come out, and the halberd took Xiang Zhuang directly.
"Good time!" Xiang Zhuang shouted loudly and immediately urged the horse to greet him.
When there were still a hundred steps away, Xiang Zhuang suddenly halberd in front of the saddle, and immediately pulled the bow and arrow on the horse's back, according to the front of only one arrow, the middle of the Han Jiang Wei throat, Jiang Wei fell from the horse! Han General Gao Xian was taken aback when he saw this, and thought that he was definitely not Xiang Zhuang's opponent, so he turned his horse's head and fled into the slanted spur.
Xiang Zhuang's horse was fast, and he urged the black horse to catch up with Gao Xian in just a moment.
With just a halberd, the blood splattered, and the great head of the Han general Gao Xian had already flown into the air.
Xiang Zhuang turned around again, and with a blood-dripping iron halberd, he slammed forward, and the five thousand Chu troops immediately roared like a mountain and a sea, and many Chu army soldiers were in a state of agitation, so they simply tore off their battle robes, revealing thick and dense chest hair, and then beat their chests hard, while howling and roaring like a beast, their shape was simply crazy to the extreme!
After half a cup of tea, Xiang Zhuang raised his left hand slightly, and the roaring cheers of the five thousand Chu troops gradually stopped.
Xiang Zhuang urged the black horse, stepped forward a few steps again, and pointed at Fan Hao in front of the Han army with a big iron halberd, and said directly: "Fan Xu, Pifu, dare to fight with me!?" ”
"Xiangzhuang Xiaoer, look for death!" Fan Hao is conceited and brave, and he is not even scared of Xiang Yu, how can he put Xiang Zhuang in his eyes? I didn't respond to the battle before, but I just didn't bother to shoot, but now I see that Xiang Zhuang just cut a few young generals of the Han army and showed off his might in front of the battle.
Xiang Zhuang's pupils contracted sharply in an instant, and his heart was even colder.
Fan Xu is the number one fierce general under Liu Bang, how can his force be comparable to the few Han generals he killed before? At the Hongmen banquet, even Xiang Yu was afraid of Fan Xu, how could Xiang Zhuang dare to be careless?
Speaking from the heart, Xiang Zhuang really doesn't want to go head-to-head with Fan Xu!
As the commander of the three armies, Xiang Zhuang should not have such a move!
However, Xiang Zhuang has no choice, today he has to have a heads-up with Fan Xu, he not only has to go head-to-head with Fan Xu, but he must win this heads-up! Only by winning this heads-up can Xiang Zhuang replace Xiang Yu as the new god of Chu, and only by winning this heads-up can Xiang Zhuang have a chance to replace Xiang Yu as the new spiritual pillar of the Chu army!
A country that cannot do without gods is categorically impossible!
An army is not even better without a spiritual pillar!
Therefore, Xiang Zhuang must replace Xiang Yu, he has no choice!
In an instant, Xiang Zhuang's eyes had become unprecedentedly cold, how was Fan Xu? What about Xiang Yu? I'm Xiang Zhuang Heng Halberd immediately, just ask the world, who dares to compete!?
"Kill!" Xiang Zhuang lightly urged the black horse, and greeted Fan Hao like a whirlwind.
Between the lightning and the fire, the two horses have been able to meet, Xiang Zhuang, Fan Xu's hands of the big iron halberd in the air collided fiercely, suddenly burst into an agitated clang, and then the two horses staggered, Xiang Zhuang straddled the horse's figure on horseback did not move, but Fan Xu's majestic body shook obviously, almost slipped off the horse's back.
In the eyes of the officers and men of the Chu and Han armies, in this first round of confrontation, Xiang Zhuang obviously had the upper hand.
Suddenly, the soldiers of the Chu army cheered like a tsunami again, while the Han army became more and more demoralized.
Fan Xu's horse galloped out a hundred and ten paces away, and only then did he slowly rein in his horse and turn back, and when he raised his halberd to Xiang Zhuang again, Fan Xu's eyes finally revealed a trace of rare solemnity.
On the other side, Xiang Zhuang's heart was even more awe-inspiring!
He seemed to have the upper hand in the collision just now, but in fact, when the two halberds intersected, the power of ** rolled back, Xiang Zhuang almost got rid of the iron halberd, until now, he still felt that his arms were sore, and his mouth was numb, obviously, Fan Xu's strength was much stronger than him, if it wasn't for the benefit of the stirrups, Xiang Zhuang was only afraid that he had fallen from the horse and lost!
However, even if Fan Xu's strength is far superior to him, he will definitely lose today!
Because Xiang Zhuang has stirrups, people and horses are one, ten percent of the force can be exerted to twelve percent, but Fan Xu can only rely on his legs to clamp the horse's belly, there is no root under his feet, ten percent of the force can only play sixty percent, one eliminates the other's strengths, and the superior makes a judgment, unless Fan Xu can cut Xiang Zhuang off the horse in the first round, otherwise, he has already lost today's heads-up!
"Hah!" Xiang Zhuang urged the black horse again and faced Fan Xu, how could Fan Xu be willing to show weakness?
The two fought for more than 50 rounds, and Fan Xu finally ran out of strength.
Xiang Zhuang became more and more courageous, urging the horse to kill back again, and then roared violently, and the big iron halberd weighing more than sixty catties in his hand had already swept towards Fan Hao with a piercing sound of breaking the air.
Fan Xu's physical strength was overdrawn, and he couldn't lift his strength, so he had to parry with a halberd, only to hear a "bang" explosion, and Fan Xu's strong body had already flown backwards from the horse.
Suddenly, the Chu army cheered in the sky-shattering array.
On the other hand, the Han army showed fear on their faces, and their morale fell to the bottom.
However, Fan Hao is Fan Xue after all, although he fell off the horse, he was not afraid, holding a short sword and wanting to fight the trapped beast, however, Xiang Zhuang could not give him any more chances, with the huge inertia of the war horse charge, Xiang Zhuang was a halberd obliquely, right on the top of Fan Xu's breastplate, Fan Xu's breastplate was shattered, and the body weighing more than two hundred catties also flew up like a kite.
flew dozens of steps away before Fan Xu's body fell to the ground, but now he was fatally injured!
The front of the two armies suddenly became as silent as death, whether it was the soldiers of the Chu army who were extremely excited, or the soldiers of the Han army whose morale was low to the freezing point, all of them opened their eyes wide at this moment, and they all held their breath, and on the entire battlefield, only the heavy snoring of the black horses and the dull sound of horses' hooves could be heard clearly.
Fan's body twitched twice, then struggled to sit up.
Xiang Zhuang slowly turned the horse's head around behind Fan Xu, then turned over and dismounted, holding the halberd in his left hand, holding the sword in his right hand, the sword halberd was crossed between Fan Xu's left and right necks, and then he suddenly turned around, and his extremely bloodthirsty eyes had locked the Han army opposite, and the Han army suddenly sounded a breathing sound, but the five thousand Chu troops were furious, and they roared so loudly that their voices were almost hoarse.
