The whole book .,The fastest update of the latest chapter of that year's cicada sword!
Shangguan Tan, as the current head of the Shangguan family, as the only leader of the Shangguan family, is also the pillar of the Wei army, he is completely different from his other three brothers, Shangguan Tan has not cared about the ethereal ascension to immortality since he was a child, when he was still a teenager, he was determined to be the second person of Li Xiaocheng, not yearning for Li Xiaocheng's world-famous force, but admiring Li Xiaocheng's strategy of almost being able to save the Great Chu River.
The reason why Li Xiaocheng succeeded and failed back then, in the final analysis, did not lie in manpower, it can only be said that the number of days is like this, and manpower is sometimes poor.
Soon, behind him, another scout from the Ghost King's Palace galloped in, covered in blood, and his back was pierced through the heart by an arrow of feathers, and he almost had to hold on to this place with a hard breath.
The dying Ghost King Palace monk had already oozed blood, and he raised his head with difficulty on his horse's back, and said with all his might: "General Qiqi, at the entrance of the valley in the rear, there is a cavalry of about 3,000 people galloping towards our army. ”
After saying that, he died of exhaustion.
Although he had expected it, Shangguan Tan's face was still a little gloomy again.
was turned into a prophecy by him, and it really became a dilemma that could not be advanced or retreated.
The old man in a shirt beside him slowly spoke: "General, it seems that there is a leak, but I don't know if Daqi has noticed any clues, or if there is an internal ghost on our side." ”
Shangguan Tan shook his head and said, "There is no point in pursuing these now, the top priority is to rush out of Chenyou Valley." ”
The old man in the shirt subconsciously looked up at the top of his head, because of the deep valley, there was only a narrow line of sky above his head, if there were ambushes on both sides above at this time, not even using arrows and cannons, just pushing down the boulders, it would be enough for them to die without a place to bury.
The old man in Wensan trembled, looked at the narrow road behind him, and muttered: "If we are blocked in the Chenyou Valley, it is equivalent to the king is also blocked in Huzhou. ”
Shangguan Tan took a deep breath and said, "I have told the king more than once about this truth, but the king insisted on making a desperate bet, and finally set this Chenyou Valley as the winner or loser of the overall situation in the entire Jiangnan. ”
Shangguan Tan suddenly pulled out the white blade on his waist, and said with a hideous smile: "But it's still too early to talk about victory or defeat, as long as we can successfully break out of Chenyou Valley, we will win at least half of this big gamble, at least retain the hope that the king will lead the army into Shu, as long as the army enters Shu, the general trend is still promising." ”
Shangguan Tan began to order in a deep voice: "Pass my military order, personally guard the battalion and the cavalry battalion, and charge with me!"
The generals of the two battalions immediately received the order.
The old man hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't help but speak: "The general wants to lead the overall situation, and he wants to think twice." ”
Shangguan Tan said softly: "It's already between life and death, where to think twice." ”
......
In the Tatsuyou Valley, the white jade with the Yaksha mask takes the lead.
Behind her, the same three thousand elite cavalry galloped like thunder.
According to the original plan, Min Chun, who was in charge of intercepting at this time, had already fought with Shangguan Tan's vanguard troops, just like the two were fighting head-to-head, and what Bai Yu had to do was to stab Shangguan Tan in the back and stab him in the heart.
Near the middle of the Chenyou Valley, the baggage battalion in charge of the palace in the Shangguan Tan army has formed a car formation, the law is strict, after the car formation is the fire gun three-fold array that broke the red turban army, when Xu Beiyou was in charge of Jiangdu, he also followed the example of the Wei State fire gun army and created a private army of more than 5,000 people, but those private troops who rushed to the army, it is okay to fight the bandits at sea, and it is really not enough to see compared with these elite divisions carefully built by Xiao Jin.
In the face of such a formation, either cover the bombardment with the Shenwei General Cannon, and directly destroy all the enemy troops behind the car formation and the car formation, or break through the firepower intertwined network composed of bird guns, three-eyed guns, and tiger squat cannons with human lives, and rush into the car formation in one breath.
Bai Yu, who could already clearly see the Wei State car formation, suddenly stopped his horse.
She squinted at the Weizi banner on the opposite side that was hunting in the wind, clenched her fist and raised her arm.
The whole army was solemn.
These elite veterans of Jiangnan, who have been in the army for many years, subconsciously clamped their horses' bellies and held their breath.
When Bai Yu waved his hand violently and fell, the array of three thousand cavalry began to rush forward like a tide.
The 3,000 cavalry braved firearms, projectiles, and iron sand fragments to launch a seemingly suicidal charge.
As early as when the figure of the white jade cavalry appeared in sight, the generals of the Wei State's baggage battalion had already shouted almost hoarsely, "Tiger squat cannon, prepare!"
Under his order, the twenty tiger squatting cannons of the Wei army raised their muzzles in unison.
When the white jade cavalry began to charge, with the word "put", a loud thunder exploded on the flat ground, and thick smoke rose from the vehicle formation of the baggage battalion, accompanied by artillery bombardment and rockets, countless smoke was also blown up on the cavalry's marching route, and at the same time, dozens of cavalry directly and men and horses were beaten into a sieve by iron sand and projectiles, and the flesh and blood were blurred.
In an instant, the entire Chenyou Valley was dark.
But soon a faint shadow appeared in the smoke, and then, with the sound of fierce horses' hooves, the horses broke through the smoke and still moved forward.
After a round of shelling, immediately a Wei soldier untied the water bag and poured it on the barrel of the tiger squat cannon to cool it down, only to see that as soon as the clear water landed on the barrel, it immediately turned into a white mist with the sound of a clatter, and at the same time held a bird gun The Wei soldier stretched out the barrel from between the gaps in the car formation, lit the fuse, and shot out in three batches.
Within a hundred paces, firearm projectiles are more powerful than bows and crossbows, and iron armor is difficult to resist.
Under the dense artillery fire, cavalry continued to fall to the ground, but the follow-up cavalry seemed to be endless, and under the leadership of the Yaksha general, they rushed to the front of the chariot formation fearlessly.
There had been silence on both sides, except for the sound of firing guns, the roar of artillery, the trampling of horses' hooves, and even the sound of corpses falling heavily on horseback, except for the sound of fighting, no shouting.
It wasn't until they were about to make contact with the chariot formation that the cavalry suddenly erupted into a heart-stopping whistling.
Countless whistling sounds finally converged into a single word.
"Kill!"
When literati read history, they always felt that the sound of killing and the sound of hooves like thunder in history books were exaggerated. But only when you are really there will you understand how pale and powerless these eight words are.
Such a spectacular scene constructed by manpower is even no less than the power of heaven and earth to a certain extent.
At this time, the leader of the Yaksha Gangneung had been hit by more than ten cannon arrows and projectiles, but he still did not retreat, the first one jumped over the barrier of the car formation, took the longbow from behind, and bent the bow in mid-air like a full moon, did not take an arrow, but used his own martial arts fist as an arrow, and an arrow hit the stunned general of the baggage battalion.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Yu silently recited in his heart that his heart was like iron until death, regardless of the blood on his hands, he pulled his bow again like a full moon, and in one go, three arrows broke through the air in a row.
An arrow shot down the banner of the Wei State, an arrow killed the deputy general of the baggage battalion, and another arrow directly shot through a tiger squat cannon that was about to be launched, making this tiger squat cannon directly explode with a loud bang.
In such a war, no matter who wins or loses, it will hurt the enemy by 1,000 and lose 800.
This battle can be called tragic.
From the early morning when Shangguan Tan led the army into the Chenyou Valley, to the contact between the two armies at about noon, and then fought until the afternoon.
When the sound of the fighting gradually weakened, only the corpses were left everywhere, and the blood flowed like a river.
This battle was known as "dignified and vigorous" and "the first bloody battle since the use of troops in Jiangnan".
