Chapter 285: The Battle of the Gentlemen
The south and west sides of Yangqu County are the Yellow River, but because the water level drops in winter, a large shoal is exposed, which is more than 1,000 acres. At this time, it was filled with tens of thousands of soldiers, including nearly 20,000 cavalry of the Xiongnu, all of whom had crossed the Yellow River, while the Han army had slightly fewer soldiers, with 13,000 or 4,000 men. The two sides lined up at the place where the river beach was, and Wang Gang met Liu Bao for the first time.
Liu Bao wears a sheepskin shoulder and a felt hat. There is no difference from ordinary Hun generals, the only difference is that the sharp eyes are staring at Wang Gang. He naturally hated Wang Gang to the bone, but he also admired Wang Gang's courage, the Huns advocated bravery, Wang Gang was willing to confront them head-on, and naturally won the respect of the Huns. But it's just respect, and it's impossible to show mercy when you meet on the battlefield.
"Give this wine to the chief general of the Han army for me, and tell him that Shuofang County is the destination" Liu Bao untied the skin around his waist and handed the mare's milk wine to the guards beside him.
The pro-soldiers took the skin and rode towards the Han camp. The two sides were only two miles apart, all of which were under everyone's noses, and when the soldiers came to the Han camp, they were not blocked. The soldiers handed over the skin to the soldiers of the Han army and relayed Liu Bao's words.
The generals of the Han army were furious when they heard this, and the Huns openly threatened, meaning to capture Wang Gang to Shuofang, and the generals said that they would kill the Xiongnu's own soldiers to boost morale. But the pro-soldier was not afraid, and looked at the generals coldly, and his intention of not cutting was overflowing.
Wang Gang said with a faint smile
"Shuofang County was originally the land of the state, and it was natural to go, you Huns have been living in Shuofang for a hundred years, and you are not grateful to the imperial court, and you want to keep it for yourself. It's shameless. I hereby make an oath that if I do not recover Shuofang, I will bury my bones on the banks of this great river."
Although Wang Gang's voice was not high, the generals heard it really well, and suddenly there was a burst of excitement in their hearts, Wang Gang had such determination, it can be seen that Wang Gang's heart to resist the Huns. Even Chen Gong and Tian Feng were extremely shocked when they heard it, and they also knew the love of the people of Bingzhou for the land under their feet.
Tian Feng fell into contemplation, and after a little thought, he understood Wang Gang's intentions, Wang Gang may really have no intention of Hebei, what he wants to do is to recover the lost land, and he has no heart at all.
After Wang Gang finished speaking, he untied the military bag from his back, and there was a stack of fresh pancakes inside, and let the soldiers send it over, and said with a smile, "This is a pancake made of grain from the state, you give it to your king, when he misses this land one day, he will take it out and take a bite, although it is a little harder, but he is hungry."
The guards left, and the rumbling of war drums suddenly came from the battlefield, and an army from each side came out, slowly forming a small phalanx in the drums.
A member of the Huns, a general, mighty and strong, holding a mace, arrogant, as the first to appear, naturally will not be a weak brigade. He was one of the four major generals under Yu Fuluo, the Wuershu. The Wuershu is born with divine power and is deeply liked by Fuluo. He was specially sent here this time.
Wuershu looked at the military general opposite, it was a very tall man, holding a halberd in his hand, a red war horse under his crotch, fat and healthy, smooth lines, at first glance it was a rare good horse. couldn't help but think a little carefully, although it was nominally a gentleman's battle, he didn't say that he couldn't kill the opponent's main general, and the opponent's five hundred cavalry, he didn't pay attention to it.
When Liu Bao saw Lu Bu, he was suddenly shocked, and the scene outside Jiuyuan County seemed to be vivid. More than 10,000 cavalry, unexpectedly broken through by Lu Bu, for him, it is a great shame, the Hun cavalry behind him also came a burst of whispers, Liu Bao was trying to tell the Wuershu to be careful, but at this moment, the war drums of the Han army stopped.
The cessation of the drums meant that the formation was complete, and the cavalry of both sides rushed towards each other at the same time. The two cavalry were like two sharp arrows, rapidly approaching each other. In the blink of an eye, they were less than fifty paces away.
The Hun cavalry stretched out their bows and arrows, and shot a round of arrow rain head-on, hitting the camp of the Han army, and suddenly dozens of Han cavalry fell to the ground with arrows. The cavalry of the Han army also quickly adjusted its formation, and with the rise of Lu Bu's halberd, the cavalry split to both sides, passed in a roundabout, and killed the flank of the Hun cavalry.
And Lu Bu did not reserve, and with a long roar in the sky, a cloud of red light emitted out, enveloping the cavalry one by one. I was even more like a ball of red light flying out, right in the middle of the Wu'er technique. The Ulshu was about to raise his mace to resist, but strangely found that his arm had flown into the air, and then fell into darkness.
Lu Bu killed the main general of the Huns in one move, rushed into the camp of the Huns, and used the half-moon slash and the full moon slash one after another, killing a vacant land among the five hundred Hun cavalry. The attack of the Han cavalry greatly exceeded the expectations of the Hun cavalry, just wanted to raise the scimitar to raise the file, but was directly pierced by the spear, and the spear castrated unabated, directly pierced the Hun cavalry behind him, just one face, the Hun cavalry killed and wounded more than 100 people, this is completely a one-sided massacre.
The entire Han army camp was boiling, I didn't expect them to have such elite cavalry. Immediately, the blood was boiling, and I couldn't wait to rush into the battlefield in person and have a hearty fight.
But Wang Gang's heart was prompted by a series of skills.
Passively detect Lu Bu, and the only exclusive skill is unmatched.
Passively detected Lu Bu, and the stunt god descended to open it.
Passively detect Lu Bu, the combat skill Full Moon Slash, and the Half Moon Slash is opened.
Passively detected that Lu Bu's talent flying general was turned on.
Wang Gang smiled bitterly in his heart, this Lu Bu is really right, and he unreservedly opened his skills. Thinking about it, I also understand the reason, when I gave him the red rabbit horse yesterday, I said it clearly, this battle is going to win beautifully, as the first to play, Wang Gang naturally wants to let the most sure Lu Bu play.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the Hun cavalry on the field had all been killed, and they would no longer chase after the retreat, but no one retreated, Lu Bu stood on the field, looking at Liu Bao with cold eyes, and the halberd waved down suddenly, and a strong wind came out of the trend, cutting off the withered grass within a radius of several feet. With a lift of the horse's reins, he turned around and returned to the Han camp.
Liu Bao was also shocked again by Lu Bu's bravery, he didn't expect Lu Bu to lead the cavalry, it was so elite, it seems that the victory in the Battle of Taiyuan is extremely slim, but as a generation of heroes, how can he easily admit defeat. Then he shouted.
"The courage of the horseman, An dares to compete with the Huns, who wants to be the second to play"
Immediately, a general came out of the ranks, it was Liu Bao's close general Liu Gu, of course, this was all set by Liu Bao in advance, and the reason why he shouted it out like this was just to improve the morale of the soldiers.
