Chapter 642: Zhang Ji rode alone and cut the canal! (4,000 words, 2-in-1)
Husband war, courage also, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion!
Zhang Ji's extremely heroic posture had an unimaginable morale-boosting effect, and an extremely ordinary cavalry in the Qin army, under the leadership of Zhang Ji, cut through the army of the temple of Chu State, and then collided with the Shadow Tiger Army led by Ji Bu.
But even against this elite cavalry of the Chu State, this ordinary cavalry of the Qin State still has the upper hand!
Although there are also Shadow Tiger Legions who are more adept at rushing combat than head-on clashes as light cavalry, it can be called a miracle to have the upper hand in a confrontation with such an elite cavalry.
Seeing Zhang Ji chisel through the Chu army's military formations like a wedge on the battlefield, Xiang Yan's face became more and more ugly, and he sent a herald to convey the generals, and decided to press the Tenglong Army as well!
As the commander of the Tenglong Legion and Xiang Yan's eldest son, Xiang Qudang waved the general flag and commanded the armored heavy cavalry of the Tenglong Legion to intercept the vanguard cavalry of the Qin army led by Zhang Ji, and then the heavy armored foot soldiers did not give the Qin cavalry a chance to breathe and directly pressed it.
This is one of the regular tactics of the dragon army to strangle the cavalry, first the heavy cavalry hedges, regardless of victory or defeat, the heavy infantry will take over, so that the enemy cavalry that has lost the speed of the impact becomes a lamb to the slaughter, especially in the face of heavy infantry.
Even if Zhang Ji took the lead, he still couldn't change the situation that the vanguard cavalry of the Qin army was strangled by the Tenglong Legion in skillful ways, especially when Zhang Ji himself was taken care of by several heavy bed crossbows.
Having a grandmaster-level realm does not mean that Zhang Ji can squander his internal strength on the battlefield.
If the internal force is exhausted, even if Zhang Ji, who is deep in the enemy formation, has the horizontal practice of the consummation realm to protect himself, he may fall off his horse and become a prisoner of the Chu army.
Therefore, Zhang Ji had been trying pure external skills before, and used extreme violence to kill a Chu army who was trying to block Zhang Ji.
Zhang Ji cut off the head of a Chu military captain with a halberd, and looked back at Xiahou Ying and Fan Xu, who were under siege behind him.
Immediately, Zhang Ji refocused his gaze on the Chu army in front.
Xiang Qu, dressed in red armor, waved the flag in his hand, directing the most elite part of the Tenglong Legion to move to the rear of Zhang Ji, he wanted to completely cut off Zhang Ji's vanguard cavalry and completely break the link with the rear, making this Qin army vanguard a lone army deep into the enemy formation.
"After Chu rode around, please divide the troops and reject it!"
Xiahou Ying, who was already soaked in blood, looked at the Tenglong Legion moving towards the rear of the Qin army, rode his horse and rushed to Zhang Ji's side, and took the initiative to ask Ying to guard the back of this vanguard horseman, but Zhang Ji turned a deaf ear.
"The thief is behind him, Nabai!"
Zhang Ji's gaze viciously swept the Chu army in front of him, and his hideous gaze fell on the Chu general in red armor.
Xiang Qu's idea is very good, surround and annihilate him, and he is also very skilled in the tactics of destroying the enemy of the Tenglong Legion, which is enough to make people praise "Tiger father has no dog son".
However, Xiang Qu's experience in dealing with the enemy seems to be somewhat insufficient, and although his command methods seem to be somewhat sophisticated, he ignores a premise.
It was certainly a good choice to send the elite of the Tenglong Legion out to cut off Zhang Ji's back road, but this method also greatly weakened the frontal pressure of this vanguard cavalry, as well as the escort force around Xiang Qu!
If it is to suppress bandits, or to fight with Baiyue, who has a huge disparity in combat strength, even if it is to command the layout like this when fighting with Qi, Yan and Wei, it is very unlikely that he can break through the heavy armor infantry in the Tenglong Legion, but Xiang Qu's opponent is a martial general in the realm of grandmasters!
With the further mobilization of the Tenglong Legion, Zhang Ji's eyes narrowed slightly, and at the moment when the elite of the Tenglong Legion alternated with the robes, he grabbed the insignificant gap and strangled the war horse, and the sweaty BMW that seemed to gallop out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain snorted, raised his head and let out a high-pitched and passionate long hiss, which startled the surrounding Qin and Chu armies The war horse Xi Yu screamed violently, and the four hooves were soft, causing a riot, and even some horsemen with slightly worse riding skills were directly thrown off the horse by the crotch war horse.
People are divided into princes and generals, farmers and industrialists, and horses naturally have high and low ranks.
For example, the horses called "heavenly horses" such as sweat and blood horses are naturally the most noble ones, just like the king of horses.
The horses will judge the strength and weakness of the same kind according to whether the neighing sound is sonorous and powerful, and the nobility and lowliness of the same kind, this high-pitched and passionate long neighing is like this sweaty BMW reporting its home, ordinary war horses are naturally frightened, even Xiang Qu, the eldest son of Xiang Yan's eldest son, rode a thousand miles of good horses unconsciously retreated a few steps.
And at the moment when the ten thousand horses panicked, the sweaty BMW under Zhang Ji's crotch suddenly stood up, carrying Zhang Ji like a red-black lightning bolt to the inconspicuous gap.
When a sweaty BMW accelerated its sprint, even a thousand-mile horse could only look at it, and when Zhang Ji rode alone into the encirclement of the Tenglong Legion, everyone's first reaction was at a loss.
What does Zhang Ji want to do???
But in an instant, the two emotions of panic and anger instantly poured into Xiang Yan's brain!
What does Zhang Ji want to do!!
"Qu'er, let's go!!"
The moment he realized Zhang Ji's purpose, Xiang Yan abandoned his responsibility as the commander-in-chief, and a roar full of father-son friendship passed through most of the battlefield with the blessing of internal force and entered Xiang Qu's ears, and also into the ears of the soldiers of the Qin and Chu armies who were fighting, and at this moment they all subconsciously looked at Xiang Yan's eyes.
It was a figure in the sun, riding a "blood horse", which would not reflect in the sun, but showed a piercing chill, which formed a strong contrast with the scorching sunlight behind him.
Xiang Qu's eyes froze, although he heard his father Xiang Yan's roar, he didn't think that there was any feasibility of charging the battle alone!
This is no longer the era when one man can become an army!
"Bed crossbow!"
Xiang Qu shouted, although he was shouting a bed crossbow, but all around him, whether it was an ordinary bow crossbow or a bed crossbow, he was heading towards Zhang Ji in an instant.
However, the crossbowmen were all suppressing the Qin army elsewhere, and there were only a dozen crossbowmen around Xiang Qu, and the most threatening was only the bulky three-bed crossbow.
Bite!
The halberd body of Fang Tian's halberd collided with one of the crossbow arrows that was the thickness of a halberd's shaft, and Zhang Ji's arm slammed into the crossbow arrows that shot at the sweaty BMW.
Carrying a bed crossbow hard, Zhang Ji's arm was slightly painful.
After this kind of bed crossbow was invented, a fierce general like Nangong Changwan did not dare to rush into battle easily, and such a thick crossbow arrow was not dead or miserable, that is, Zhang Ji repaired both inside and outside, and it was the least for a person to be broken by the tendons and veins of his arm.
And Zhang Ji didn't plan to give the other two bed crossbows another chance to shoot, so he put Fang Tian's halberd across the horse's back, clamped the horse's belly with his legs and leaned close to the ground, picked up two Chu Jun's spears from the ground, and threw them straight at the bowstrings of the two bed crossbows.
For! For!
The bowstring broke in response, and the bowstring that suddenly slackened even directly knocked over the crossbowman who was in charge of controlling the bed crossbow on the side.
Losing the threat of the bed crossbow, Zhang Ji once again launched a full-speed sprint, and even the soldiers of the Dragon Legion holding iron shields could not have any interception effect at all.
Fang Tian's halberd left a sound in the air that pierced the air and the piercing sound of the iron shield being cut, turning into a mess.
Fang Tian's halberd flew up, this weapon that required both strength and skill to be used was unleashed in Zhang Ji's hands, and in the blink of an eye, Zhang Ji had already penetrated three hundred steps into the military formation of the Tenglong Legion.
Five hundred steps to go!
Four hundred steps!
Three hundred steps!
"Throw a gun!"
Xiang Qu felt a pang in his heart, he had not met a fierce general, but Zhang Ji had never seen such an unreasonable fierce general.
Feeling the blazing killing intent getting closer and closer, Xiang Qu's heart also had a touch of panic, and he could only use all means to stop Zhang Ji's charge.
However, these last 300 steps can be said to be a blink of an eye for a sweaty BMW, and those guards who did not hesitate to intercept Zhang Ji's progress with their lives experienced for the first time what "all beings are equal" under the cold light of the Fang Tian painting halberd.
One hundred steps!
Xiang Qu became frightened and rode his horse to the rear.
There is no shame in running away, those who can endure the unbearable of ordinary people and live to the end have hope of winning!
Fifty steps!
Xiang Qu threw out the flag in his hand, but was randomly removed by the terrifying Fang Tian painting halberd!
Ten steps!
Xiang Qu had already smelled the strong smell of blood on Zhang Ji's body, and the blazing killing intent even made him feel his eyes burn, and he didn't dare to look at Zhang Ji again!
Five steps!
Zhang Jiyi strangled the war horse under his crotch, clamped the horse's belly, and the four hooves of the sweaty BMW slammed towards the ground, the muscles expanded, and the sweaty BMW neighed, and jumped high with its owner.
"Mohai Jianghu!"
The thick and viscous internal force like ink instantly went towards it, and the whole world seemed to fall into slow motion!
When the two horses staggered, Zhang Ji, who was in mid-air, swept violently, Fang Tian's halberd reflected the scorching sunlight behind him, and the sharp halberd blade easily cut through Xiang Qu's neck, and blood instantly splattered out with the halberd blade through the neck!
And at the moment when the war horse landed, the head that had lost its connection with the body was grabbed by Zhang Ji by the hair before falling to the ground, pierced with a random Chu Junge spear, and held it high.
"The enemy will give the head!"
Zhang Ji's roar passed through the entire battlefield with the blessing of internal force, even if his head was stained with blood, but as the chief general of the Tenglong Legion, the most elite legion of the Chu State, and the eldest son of Xiang Yan, the general of the Chu State, the young general in the mouth of the Chu sergeant, there are too many people who know Xiang Qu.
"Qu'er!"
Xiang Yan roared angrily, and this roar also proved the identity of the owner of the head that had lost its body.
On this battlefield where communication was difficult, most of the soldiers would not know what was happening in the rear, they would only know that Zhang Ji suddenly killed Xiang Qu, the major general of the Chu army.
The Qin army thought that Zhang Ji had raided Xiang Yan's side, and even Xiang Yan's eldest son was beheaded, and the Chu army also thought that they were about to be defeated, otherwise why couldn't the general even keep his eldest son?
"The Chu army is defeated!"
"The Chu army is defeated!"
"The Chu army is defeated!"
Many experienced Qin generals and colonels directly shouted that the Chu army was defeated, no matter whether the Chu army would believe it or not, but the Qin army would definitely believe it, and as the Qin army shouted louder and louder, the original firm heart of the Chu army generals gradually wavered.
The collapse of the army was only in an instant!
When the first deserter to drop his weapon appeared in the Chu army, a chain reaction would be triggered, and more and more Chu troops threw down their weapons and began to flee in the direction of the Chu army camp.
The most terrible thing about these deserters who have lost their will to fight is not that they themselves have fled, but the impact on the morale of their comrades and the damage to the military formation when the deserters flee to their own military formation.
However, fortunately, most of the soldiers who fled were those noble private soldiers, and there were not many soldiers in the temples of Chu who escaped, but their morale also plummeted, and even the Thunder Leopard Legion and the Shadow Tiger Legion were a little shaken.
The most severely affected are the Dragon Legion, and the soldiers of the Dragon Legion suddenly realize that their master will be beheaded from the army alone!
Disgrace!
Shame!
Anger filled his chest, but it was mixed with a deep fear of Zhang Ji!
A fierce general who can take the head of a man on a single horse among the ten thousand armies, if he wants to take his own head...... Wouldn't it be easier?
The morale of the Dragons is severely polarized, with either revenge or fleeing.
"Surrender or die!"
Although the Qin army had a bad record in the past, Zhang Ji's promise of surrender was still worthy of the trust of those Chu soldiers who had no chance to escape, except for a few stubborn ones, most of the Chu soldiers who were surrounded by the Qin army chose to lay down their arms and surrender.
Of course, these Chu soldiers trusted more than Zhang Ji's credibility.
Another point is Zhang Ji's wanton slaughter of the nobles of Chen County, as ordinary Chu people, there are few people who do not hate the arrogance of the nobles of Chu State, to be honest, they all think that Zhang Ji killed well and killed happily!
Xiang Yan's eyes were red, he really wanted to order the Chu army and the Qin army to fight to the death, but he understood that this order could not be given!
The morale of the Chu army was in chaos, and if the fight continued, the Chu army would inevitably be wiped out.
"Withdraw! Withdrawal! ”
Xiang Yan gritted his teeth and shouted out the two words that the current Chu soldiers and soldiers wanted to hear the most, but the withdrawal was not completed after the order was given, and someone was still needed as the palace army to replace the palace queen.
"Order, Ying Bu led the Thunder Leopard Legion to the rear of the palace, and the army retreated to the Shadow Tiger Legion to cover the Thunder Leopard Legion, and retreated alternately!"
Xiang Yan's voice trembled, as if he had exhausted the last bit of strength in his body to finish his command, and then he no longer looked at the battlefield, nor did he dare to look back, for fear that he would not be able to suppress the impulse in his heart and let the last string called reason break.
Li Yuan on the side didn't say a word, sighed deeply, looked at the majestic figure on the battlefield unwillingly, and whipped the war horse under his crotch and accelerated away from the battlefield that made him feel afraid.
