Chapter 1006: Magnificent Power of Han (One Hundred and Thirty)

Stepping on the corpses on the ground, the infantry of both sides strangled together. Without the rain of crossbow shooting, the courage of the Chu army seemed to have returned to them. The blood of their previous companions also aroused the passion in their bodies. With ferocious aura, amidst Bian Rang's roar, the Chu army bravely charged forward.

The cavalry of both sides are the first to fight together on both wings of the battlefield. Whoever defeats the opponent first will be of great help to the main battlefield in the center. These are two teams dominated by infantry, and the cavalry is in their lineup. More It has a restraining effect.

After more than a year of training and fighting, the Chu army has basically transformed. In the battle with the Qi army, every battle they fought basically ended in victory. The successive victories also gave this army a strong He is very confident, especially Bian Rang, who is a master who will not hit the south wall and never look back. When he saw the Han army charging forward to engage in hand-to-hand combat, he was not surprised but happy. As long as it was hand-to-hand combat, he had never been afraid of anyone.

But soon, Bian Yang knew that he was wrong. First of all, there was a huge gap in equipment between the two sides. Basically, the Chu army could only be equipped with leather armor. In terms of protection, this kind of armor could only be said to be better than nothing, while the opponent But everyone was wearing iron armor, and the steel sword was slashed on the opponent's body. The loud bang and the sour friction sound made every Chu soldier feel cold. Even if he was stabbed with a spear, the best The result of the battle is to stab the opponent until he is knocked upside down, but the blood spurting from the spearhead that you long for does not appear at all. Unless your spear or knife can hit the opponent's face, the enemy will be killed.

In contrast, the sharpness of the weapon in the opponent's hand is even more frightening. A knife is scratched on the leather armor. With a slight drag, the leather armor will be dragged out into a long hole, and the leather armor will roll up together. It was the flesh and blood of soldiers, and what was sprayed out was hot blood. When the spear was stabbed, the leather armor was like piercing paper, and the leather armor was easily pierced.

If the gap in weapons can be made up by perseverance and courage, then the gap in combat skills between the two sides cannot be made up by these. Just like what Cheng Siwei encountered before, these Han troops can always In a very small scale situation where more people fight against fewer people, three, two, four or five people can always quickly integrate into a fighting group, as if they have always been fighting together. Of course, there is someone who specializes in killing people, and with skilled cooperation, killing people is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

When the cavalry on both wings also failed, Bian Rang knew that he would never win this battle. The opponent was forced into the center, and the two wings were now crushed into a long flat strip. If you don't make a decisive decision, your entire army will be destroyed here.

"Retreat, the whole army retreats, let our center army break the rear!" Bian Rang shouted loudly. The center army's flag waved, conveying the order to the two wings.

"Central Army, follow me and charge forward!" Seeing the two wings begin to retreat, Bian Rang held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other. He led the remaining 1,000 soldiers and 5,000 Chinese soldiers to fight back. And up.

Tie Xuan stared at Bian Rang who was fighting back. Although he was an opponent, he still couldn't help but praise: "This Bian Rang is really brave. By the way, those people around him with their messy faces are also quite capable in combat." It's astonishing. Order the two wings to surround him from left to right, and eat up his central army first."

The bugle sounded, and the Han army on the two wings began to move closer to the Chinese army. They were surrounded on three sides and wanted to encircle and annihilate the thousands of Chinese soldiers in Bianyang in Majiayu. Compared to the Chu army on the two wings, of course the Chinese army The value of the flat soil is much greater.

Bian Rang's commanding skills were fully revealed at this moment. Just when the left and right wings were about to close, his central army suddenly rushed out from the joint of the two Han armies, even though the two Han armies suddenly rushed out of the joint. The army quickly closed the gap and only managed to capture more than 2,000 people, but allowed Bian Rang to escape with more than 3,000 people.

In such a good situation, Bian Rang was allowed to escape. Tie Xuan couldn't help but be furious. He immediately led his army to pursue Bian Rang, biting Bian Rang's tail and gnawing fiercely. However, such a pursuit had to be carried out in the face of an orderly retreat. After not much success, Tie Xuan had to stop his progress until dark.

In the battle of Ma Jiayu, Bian Yang lost nearly 5,000 men. To him, the loss of men was still a small matter. The key point was that he had determined that with his own strength, he would not be able to fight back to Jucheng and join forces with General Qu Wan. There is no time limit, and if Jucheng does not receive reinforcements, it will only be a matter of time before the city is destroyed.

Retreating all the way to Panjiayu and setting up camp, Bian Yang looked in the direction of Jucheng in distress, thinking about what he should do next. Now he was surrounded by enemies. Putting aside the Han army, Tian Jingwen's The Qi army must also be eyeing him. Tian Jingwen is not taking action against him now just because he is fighting the Han army.

Tie Xuan won a great victory and beat Bian Rang to a pulp, but Zheng Xiaoyang suffered a big loss. In the contest with Qu Wan, not only him, but also the commander of Nanye, Meng Chong, This time I suffered a big blow.

Meng Chong made a gesture at first and deliberately told Qu Wan that Bian Rang has come and is coming to rescue you. Now I am going to besiege Bian Rang. Why don't you come out to rescue me?

Meng Chong brought his troops here to show off, but unexpectedly, the show was in vain. No matter how conspicuously his troops were mobilized, Qu Wan in the city did not move at all, causing Zheng Xiaoyang, who was ambushing, to make a big fuss. It was boring. In the end, Meng Chong really felt that there was nothing to do if he continued. The opponent was obviously an old fox who had become a spirit. He was not moved at all. Meng Chong led his troops and rushed straight to Tie Xuan to prepare. Focusing on cleaning up Bianli, Zheng Xiaoyang could only rush back to besiege the city.

But just as Meng Chong left and Zheng Xiaoyang's retreating team had not yet taken their positions, Qu Wan in the city suddenly moved. If he didn't move, the entire army would rush out. More than 10,000 Chu troops came out of Jucheng. He rushed out and caught Zheng Xiaoyang off guard. After Qu finished attacking Peng Chao's division in the front, he was almost completely defeated. If Huang Zhan hadn't reacted very quickly, Peng Chao would have been killed. In this battle between the two generals, In the command, Zheng Xiaoyang was completely at a disadvantage. When Qu Quan's army was attacking Peng Chao's division, he sent his troops directly to attack Jucheng, hoping to force Qu Wan to retreat by forcing Qu Wan to retreat. Unexpectedly, Qu Wan didn't care about the gains and losses in Jucheng. , he just chased Peng Chao's army and beat him up, but Huang Zhan finally realized that something was wrong. He violated Zheng Xiaoyang's order before the battle and went directly to rescue Peng Chao instead of attacking Jucheng. Only then did he bring back Peng Chao's remaining army. By this time, Qu Wan had already killed Peng Chao's army and was far away in a flash.

From the beginning, Qu Wan never thought about holding on to Jucheng, let alone rescuing Bian Rang. All he thought about was running back to Linyi.

After hearing the news, Meng Chong rushed to Jucheng and saw the mess all over the ground. Although the flag of the Han army was planted above Jucheng, everyone in the first army looked ashamed. Color. Led by Zheng Xiaoyang, a large group of senior officers lowered their heads and waited quietly for Meng Chong to get angry.

The cooked duck not only flew away, but before leaving, it turned into an eagle and took a bite out of the hunter. This result made the First Army himself feel ashamed.

Meng Chong did not get angry, but looked at Jucheng in concentration for a long time before sighing: "This is none of your business. If you are really responsible, you will be the first to hold me accountable. Your Majesty is right. Over the years, Our Han army will win every battle and conquer every attack, and has almost never suffered any defeats. From the senior generals to the ordinary soldiers, everyone is extremely arrogant and regards the heroes of the world as nothing, which is why we are defeated today."

Although Jucheng was taken, in Meng Chong's view, the battle in Jucheng was an out-and-out defeat.

"Take this as a lesson!" Meng Chong said in a low voice as he walked towards the remains of the soldiers who died in the battle. In the open space outside Jucheng, rows of corpses of soldiers covered with white cloth were neatly placed. There is no end in sight. In this battle, Peng Chao's division, which bore the brunt, suffered more than 2,000 casualties." This is a bloody lesson, never underestimate your enemy, even if he was trembling under your feet one moment, next In one moment, he may become violent and hurt someone. The king tells us that we should never pity a drowned dog, but beat him until he is a dead dog."

"Respect the king's order." The generals of the First Army shouted in unison.

"Send off the fallen heroes and pray for blessings!" Meng Chong took off his helmet and lowered his head.

"Flag down!" The order was conveyed to the whole army with shouts. Countless flags of the First Army were held flatly in the hands at the same time, and all the soldiers took off their helmets.

"War song, rise!"

Wherever the long sword points,

Pointing directly to the northern territory;

The setting sun is like blood, flowing on the journey south;

The flags are hunting, summoning the war drums to march eastward;

The yellow sand is endless. Can't stop the Western Expedition.

In the past, war songs were always full of passionate and indomitable momentum, but today, they are a little more tragic.

Panjiayu, Bian Rang's camp, several Chu troops crossed the mountains, bypassed Tiexun's camp, and saw Bian Rang.

"The general has already broken through the encirclement!" Upon hearing the news, Bian Rang couldn't help laughing loudly. General Qu Wan was indeed an extraordinary person. Under such a situation, not only was he able to break out of the encirclement with his whole body, but he also took the opportunity to severely damage the enemy.

"The general has returned to Linyi, which is close to the mainland. Even if the Han army pursues him, General Qu Wan will no longer be afraid of his opponents. General Qu Wan has also made arrangements for General Bian's next actions!" A soldier He took out a sealed dossier from his arms: "This is a secret letter from the general to you."

Bian Rang tore open the sealed fire paint and read the contents carefully. Bian Rang's face showed surprise at first, and then calmness. "I understand, tell the general when you go back, and I will act according to the plan."

"yes!"

"Be careful along the way. It's better to take a few more detours than fall into the hands of the Han army!" Bian Yang warned. (To be continued)
