Chapter 314
Meeting on a narrow road
Han Xin changed his expression slightly. He was absolutely inferior to Ying Bu, a prisoner in Lishan in terms of martial arts. Han Xin nodded gratefully to the Lang General who blocked the arrow for him, and shouted at Ying Bu on the top of the city: "Ying Bu, no matter what, you and I have served in the Han King's tent, and they don't even think about the past relationship?"
"Friendship?" Ying Bu said coldly, "I have never provoked you, but you brought hundreds of thousands of troops to attack my Huainan Kingdom. Have you ever had any love in my heart?" As he said, Ying Bu pulled out the iron-feeding bow again. This time, he actually pulled two heavy arrows of wolf teeth and pointed them at Han Xin's chest and abdomen again. The latest chapter of the Holy Temple.
Han Xin hurriedly fought the horse and avoided the backyard, and he was too lazy to reminisce about the old days with Ying Bu.
The young general of purple robe stepped forward, and while running back and forth, he raised his big iron halberd and pointed at Ying Bu on the top of the city, shouting loudly: "Ying Bu, Cao Qi is here, but he won't come down quickly to die!"
Ying Bu was furious and looked back at his body and shouted, "Who will take his life to the dog?"
The personal military captain Li Ji responded and shouted: "King, I am willing to go!" After saying that, without waiting for Ying Bu's permission, Li Ji had already turned over and down the city tower. The personal soldiers had already taken the mount and spear. Li Ji turned over and the horse and spear in his hand. Before he could, the city gate opened and the suspension bridge was lowered. Li Ji rode alone out of the city gate to fight Cao Qi.
Li Ji was a stonemason, with a force of force on both arms. It is said that he had once beaten the tiger in the mountains, but he didn't know whether it was true or not. He and Ying Bu met when they were a prisoner in Lishan. Once Ying Bu robbed other prisoners of rice balls. Li Ji couldn't stand it and wanted to come forward to apologize, but was beaten up by Ying Buhai and became Ying Bu's best friend ever since.
Later, Ying Bu rebelled, and Li Ji became Ying Bu's personal soldiers. Over the years, Li Ji followed Ying Bu to fight in the east and west, and fought in the south and north. He was a man of many battles and died under his big stupid spear.
On the top of the city, Ying Bu shouted: "Come and take the drumsticks, I will personally give you some drums to cheer!"
General Zhao Zhen personally presented the drumsticks. Ying Bu reached out and took them and then strode to the drum stand. In an instant, the dense sound of war drums as rain had already resounded across the city. On the city, the blood of the Huainan soldiers began to heat up little by little. Under the city, hundreds of thousands of Qi troops also shouted in unison to cheer for the young general Cao Qi of the purple robe. The latest chapter of the Holy Temple
After leaving the city, Li Jire stopped, raised his big stupid spear and pointed at Cao Qi, a young purple robe who was ten steps away from the opposite side, and said, "Child Cao, I think you are young and ignorant, and I can give you a chance to survive. If you get off the horse and beg for mercy now, I can still spare you a way out, otherwise I will die!"
Cao Qi lifted the iron halberd upside down and said sneered: "Here you are the general name."
"Okay, you're looking for death by yourself!" After saying that, Li Ji urged the horse to take Cao Ji directly, and shouted, "This general is Li Ji, the general of the personal army under the King of Huainan. Cao Ji is a child. After his death, he will go to the underworld. Don't report the wrong person! Ha!" Li Ji urged the horse to fight and quickly began a fast sprint.
Cao Qi smiled coldly and urged the horse to greet him.
The Qi army lined up outside the city and the Huainan soldiers on the city were cheering like thunderstorms. Fighting generals has always been the best means to inspire morale. Throughout history, I don’t know how many Chinese men have galloped on the battlefield, sprinkled their blood and sweat, or achieved a lifetime of fame, or become a stepping stone for others’ reputations.
Amid the rapid sound of horse hooves, Li Ji and Cao Ji barely intersected.
"Do you die!" Li Ji roared, and the big stupid spear in his hand was already swept towards Cao Qi with a thunderous force. Li Ji's big stupid spear weighs 100 kilograms. In addition to provoking thorns, the power of the sweep was unparalleled. In this sweep, Li Ji had exhausted all his strength and vowed to sweep Cao Qi with one shot.
Cao Qi was not afraid, and the iron halberd in his hand also swept across the tit-for-tat.
Between the lightning and the fire, the big stupid spear and the big iron halberd collided fiercely in the air.
Li Ji, Cao Qi's strength is more than a thousand pounds? Although the mounts under their crotch were all one in a thousand, they could not bear it under the thunder attack. They suddenly hissed and staggered. Li Ji almost fell off his horse because of his excessive force. Cao Qi was also churning, and his handsome face turned red.
Li Ji was a long-time general on the battlefield who had been rampant for many years, but Cao Qi was a newborn calf who was not afraid of the tiger. At that moment, the two of them were cheering up and rushed back and forth, and fought for more than fifty rounds without a distinction. Li Ji was a little impatient. He chased Cao Qi with one strand of horse heads, and then the two of them fought with spears on the horse's back and forth, like a lantern.
After more than fifty rounds of battle, the two still did not decide the outcome. Han Xin was worried that Cao Qi would be in a mistake, so he immediately called the gold to withdraw his troops.
Cao Qi tried hard to force Li Ji to retreat, and turned around and walked towards the formation. When Li Ji was unwilling to wait for the hunt, a golden sound sounded from the city behind him. Obviously, Ying Bu was also worried that he would lose. At that moment, Li Ji returned to the city with a little unhappy feeling. Today, he failed to win such a bad guy. It was really embarrassing to say that.
In front of the Qi army, Han Xin looked up at the sky and said, "Tell me the order, the army will build a camp."
More than a hundred cavalry behind him rolled away. In a moment, Han Xin's king's order spread throughout the army. The army of Qi, which was standing in line, began to become busy like an ant colony going out for food. With the busyness of hundreds of thousands of worker ants, a tent was quickly built, and there were circles of fences that were quickly erected.
At the top of Pengcheng City, Ying Bu's expression on his face was so gloomy that it could almost scrape off frost. It was too late today, and most of the Qi army would not attack the city, but tomorrow, the Qi army would definitely attack the city. Tomorrow, it would be an extremely difficult day. But when will the reinforcements of Chu arrive? Or... will they come?
#############
Among the steep mountains and ridges north of Langzhong, Xiangzhuang was walking forward with hundreds of remaining soldiers.
Tang Tong did not lie. There were indeed small roads in the mountains to reach Langzhong, but this road was extremely dangerous and difficult to walk. Even veterans like Tianlang Guard fell to death on the way.
Passing through a canyon, when Xiangzhuang looked back, there were only more than four hundred left in the small two thousand Tianlang Guards when they set out on the war.
This time, the attack on Hanzhong was a complete defeat. In order to attack Hanzhong, there was no need to think about it. Maybe Jiameng Pass would lose it again. Once Jiameng Pass was lost, the entire Bashu would be completely exposed to the Han army's military. In this way, if the Chu army wanted to defend Bashu, it would have to station heavy troops!
If things really develop to this point, this battle against Shu could be said to be completely defeated, because Bashu is too far from Jiangdong and is separated by Linjiang Kingdom in the middle. The Chu army would never be able to station heavy troops in Bashu, but Guanzhong is not far from Bashu. The Han army can send heavy troops to raid Bashu at any time.
Therefore, once Jiameng Pass is lost, Xiangzhuang will lead his army to withdraw from Ba County without hesitation.
It’s a pity to spit out the fat meat from your mouth, but if you lose your life, what can you eat with?
However, there was no trace of depression on Xiang Zhuang's face, and there was not much negative emotions such as depression and depression in his heart. Xiang Zhuang agreed with the words that the military clerk Cao often said: Victory and defeat are common in military strategists. There is no permanent general in this world, and it is normal to lose.
What's more, this battle against Shu may not necessarily be defeated.
Perhaps, Pang Yu's army has rushed to Jiameng Pass in front of the Han army?
#############
Pang Yu had indeed arrived at Jiameng Pass, but he only brought three thousand Tianlang Guards.
After Xiang Zhuang personally led two thousand Tianlang Guards to drive first that day, Baili Xian thought about it and felt worried, so he asked Pang Yu to lead three thousand Tianlang Guards to help Xiang Zhuang, and he led a large army and mules, horses and baggage to take him back.
When Pang Yu led his army to Jiameng Pass, he only met more than a hundred Tianlang Guards guarding the pass. After asking, he found out that Xiang Zhuang had taken more than a thousand Tianlang Guards to Hanzhong early in the morning. Pang Yu did not hesitate at all, and immediately left five hundred Tianlang Guards guarding the pass, and then took the remaining 2,500 people to the Taurus Road.
After walking less than twenty miles, the provoy ahead received a reward and encountered a large group of Han troops!
Pang Yu just pondered for a moment and ordered the entire army to unshewn swords, bows and arrows, set up formations, and move forward slowly. The Taurus Road was extremely steep and there were cliffs on both sides. If you were eager to climb up the cliff and set up an ambush, it would not be too late. If you turned around and retreat, the Han army opposite only needed a one-tail pursuit, which would be very likely to be defeated.
Therefore, the Chu army had only one choice, that is, to move forward and defeat the Han army!
Moreover, the narrow terrain of the Taurus Road is not conducive to the development of the army. The meeting between the two armies on a narrow road is a complete melee. The advantages of the Han army with many soldiers are difficult to exert, and the outcome is still unknown. The only thing that makes Pang Yu a little worried is whether the sudden appearance of this Han army means that the king's army has had an accident?
Thinking of this, Pang Yu was suddenly a little scared and dared not think about it anymore.
Almost at the same time, the Han army less than twenty miles away also discovered the existence of the Chu army.
After receiving the report, Bai Mo made the same decision as Pang Yu, and the whole army was on guard and continued to move forward.
In less than half an hour, the Chu and Han armies encountered a narrow plank road. The plank road was only wider and four people were in parallel. On one side was a steep cliff like a knife, and on the other side was a deep abyss. From time to time, violent mountain wind blew by. Ordinary people walked on it, but if they were careless, they would fall into the abyss.
However, Pang Yu did not pause at all, and slowly pulled out the horizontal knife while walking forward slowly.
Suddenly, a strong murderous intent rose deep in Pang Yu's eyes. He had already recognized the Han general opposite, the Zhou Guanfu who killed Jing Qian at Hulao Pass back then!
Brother Jing Qian, today, I, Pang Yu, will avenge you!
A hundred steps away from the opposite side, Zhou Guanfu also took off the two iron halberds from his back with his back, and then strode forward to meet him. Zhou Guanfu didn't know Pang Yu, but when he thought of killing Chu General, he couldn't help but be excited!
