Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- Amidst the rumbling war drums, the leading ten thousand shield bearers roared to the trench outside the Han camp. The Chu army soldiers quickly threw the earth bags they carried with them into the trench, and the trench was cleared in the blink of an eye. The trench is filled.
The Chu army crossed the trench and reached the deer antlers of the Han camp.
The sword and shield bearers raised their shields with one hand to block the arrows, and swung their swords wildly with the other hand, cutting down the antlers of the Han camp blocking the enemy.
In the rear row, ten thousand crossbowmen lined up fifty steps away and continued to shoot arrows at the enemy camp endlessly to suppress the enemy's arrow attacks.
¡°Set an arrow, release an arrow for me, and shoot back the enemy~~¡±
Le Jin galloped back and forth on his horse, scolding the crossbowmen, and continued to fire arrows at the Chu army who was cutting down the antlers despite the rain of arrows from the Chu army.
Along the front line of the camp, arrows raining all over the sky intertwined into a network of light, blocking out the sky and the sun.
In the rain of arrows, soldiers of the Chu army kept falling down, but the soldiers in the back row fearlessly stepped forward and continued to attack the antlers of the enemy camp.
Under such a crazy attack, in less than half an hour, two of the Han camp's three layers of antlers had been damaged. The Chu army only needed to chop down one more layer of antlers to rush directly to the Chu camp's gate.
Le Jin in the camp tried his best to urge his men to fight back, but he still couldn't stop the Chu camp's mad attack.
The disparity in military strength is so great that even Le Jin, who is brave and good at fighting, can't make a comeback.
In desperation, Le Jin had no choice but to light the trumpet and ask for help from Liu Bei who was watching the battle in Yecheng.
On the top of the city, Liu Bei clearly saw the Chu army's madness, and also saw that his Dongying camp was in danger of being breached.
At this time, the trumpet was lit, and Liu Bei knew that Le Jin was asking for help.
Dongying is the corner of Yecheng and must be protected. Liu Bei has no choice but to do so. He had no choice but to order Zhang Xiu to lead 3,000 light cavalry out of the east gate, attack the flanks of the Chu camp, disrupt the Chu army, and then retreat immediately to avoid engaging the Chu army.
On the southeast side of the city, Yan Liang, who was stationed in the Chinese army, of course saw the trumpet fire lit in the Han camp.
"Xiao Zhi, Le Jin lit the fire, what do you think he means?" Yan Liang sneered. Ask the army's staff to follow the right path.
Fazheng stroked his beard and said: "I think that this must be because Lejin is unable to withstand the fierce attack of our army, so he is asking Liu Bei for help in Yecheng. I expect that Liu Bei will immediately send light cavalry out to attack the flank of our army."
Yan Liang nodded slightly. Fa Zheng's judgment was in line with his thoughts.
"Where is Wen Ziqin!" Yan Liang shouted.
"I'm here." Wen Chou rode his horse forward.
Yan Liang pointed his horse whip in the distance: "I order you to lead five thousand cavalry out immediately to defend the flanks of the trapped army. If the Han cavalry attacks, you will give me a severe lesson."
"No." Wen Chou responded enthusiastically and galloped away.
After a while, dust rose into the sky. Wen Chou led five thousand fine cavalry and swept away like a storm.
At this moment, the east gate of the Han camp opened wide, and Zhang Xiu led three thousand Han cavalry to rush out. They were heading towards Huang Zhong's army attacking the camp.
Zhang Xiu's intention was to use the speed of the cavalry to unexpectedly defeat the Chu army's flanks and relieve the crisis in Dongying. Then, before the Chu cavalry attacked, they quickly retreated to Yecheng.
But what Liu Bei didn¡¯t expect was. Just when he made his decision, Yan Liang was already one step ahead and anticipated his decision.
Not long after Zhang Xiu's light cavalry army left the city and had not yet come into contact with Huang Zhong's army, Wen Chou's fierce cavalry had already charged in at an angle.
"How could the Chu army be so fast?" Zhang Xiu was shocked.
In such a situation, Zhang Xiu couldn't care less about breaking through the Chu army's flank. He could only turn around halfway and hastily attack Wen Chou's cavalry.
In the blink of an eye, two rolling iron cavalry collided with each other.
Amidst the loud bangs in the sky, the place where the two armies collided was like a meat grinder, instantly rolling up countless flying limbs and broken bones, and the flesh and blood bodies were ground to pieces in the blink of an eye in this big winch.
People were thrown off their backs, and blood was flying everywhere.
The dull sound of the blade cutting into flesh and bone, the painful screams of soldiers who were seriously injured and fell from their horses, the neighing of horses after being killed, and all kinds of tragic sounds overshadowed the rumbling war drums.
The battlefield where the cavalry fought suddenly became like a ghost land.
Although Zhang Xiu is a fierce general in Xiliang, he can be said to be the only orthodox successor to the Xiliang cavalry in the Dong Zhuo era.
But now, facing the Chu cavalry commanded by Wen Chou, Zhang Xiu quickly fell into a disadvantage.
The great Chu of today is no longer the great Chu of yesterday.
After possessing the horse-producing lands of Xiliang and Liaodong, countless excellent war horses were continuously produced.Sent to the Central Plains, Da Chu's cavalry regiment expanded unprecedentedly.
Nowadays, Chu¡¯s cavalry corps surpasses Han¡¯s in both quantity and quality, and this is one of the important reasons why Yan Liang dared to launch the Northern Expedition.
Wen Chou's martial arts and troop commanding abilities were superior to Zhang Xiu's, and the five thousand cavalry under his command had all participated in the bloody battles to pacify the Qin Kingdom, and were all elite soldiers who had experienced hundreds of battles.
And the war horses under the crotch of these elite soldiers are also the best horses from Xiliang. Their speed and endurance surpass the Han Dynasty's Youbing cavalry.
How could Wen Chou, who had the upper hand in all aspects, give Zhang Xiu a chance?
After several attacks, the Han army was knocked to their knees, completely losing morale, and soon fell into a situation of being divided and surrounded.
"Damn it, the Yan thief took the lead again!" Liu Bei at the top of the city saw this formation and punched the city wall with his fist.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead another army out of the city, and I will kill all the Chu thieves." Chen Dao, who was beside him, also called for war generously, wanting to share the Lord's worries.
Liu Bei, however, frowned deeply and shook his head: "It's useless. The Chu army is outnumbered. Dongying is an invincible hole. No matter how many troops I send, I can't fill it."
Liu Bei paused for a moment, and then sighed: "Send the order, quickly raise the gold, and order Zhang Xiu to lead his army back to Yecheng."
Chen was helpless and had no choice but to pass on the order.
Dang Dang Dang~~
The rapid golden sound quickly echoed over Yecheng and could be heard clearly for miles around.
Zhang Xiu, who was in the midst of a bitter battle, felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He didn't think much about it and just scolded the troops to retreat back to the city.
The Han cavalry, which were heavily injured and killed, completely lost their fighting spirit and retreated, abandoning their helmets and armor.
Wen Chou succeeded in repelling the Han army, but he did not take advantage of the victory to pursue him. He only roamed the battlefield and defended the flanks of Huang Zhong's army.
The victory of the Chu army's cavalry eliminated the threat on the flanks. The Chu army's infantry, who were attacking the camp, were naturally encouraged.
Huang Zhong was stimulated, raised his sword and shouted: "The cavalry shows its power, how can our infantry fall behind? Give me more strength and break the enemy camp¡ª¡ª"
Huang Zhong's roar boosted morale, and the soldiers on all sides cheered up and attacked crazily.
Finally, after paying the lives of more than a thousand people, the Chu army finally chopped off the last antlers of the Han camp, and thousands of soldiers poured into the Han camp gates like a tide.
In the camp, the Han army was frightened, and everyone showed fear.
Le Jin was shocked. When he saw Zhang Xiu's cavalry retreating, he knew that Liu Bei was unable to help him. Now he could only fight alone.
"Yan Thief, come on, I am not afraid of you, Le Jin!"
Le Jin gritted his teeth and urged his horse forward to the camp fence. He yelled at the sergeant not to panic. He placed long spears on the camp fence, forming rows of dense forest-like spikes to block Chu. The army broke through the camp fence.
"Kill~~"
Amidst the loud shouts of killing, the Chu troops in the front row rushed in. The sword and shield bearers pushed their big shields forward and crashed into the densely packed spears of the Han army regardless of their own safety.
There were loud noises and screams all of a sudden.
Relying on the protection of the strong shield, the Han army rushed forward and knocked back half of the Han army's spears. The large shield hit the camp fence hard, and the entire wooden fence made a rattling sound. Signs of breakage.
Many people in the Chu army were pierced by spears, and their bleeding bodies were hung on the wooden fence, screaming in agony.
"Hold on, hold on, all of you, bear the impact of the Chu thieves." Le Jin shouted while wielding his sword.
Those Han army gunners who were knocked back by the Chu army's shieldmen could only muster up their courage, roar and rush forward again, stabbing desperately with their spears in an attempt to push the Chu army back.
However, the Chu army, regardless of life and death, rushed towards the camp fence like crazy.
Behind, thousands of Chu troops rushed towards the camp fence like a tide. Under the push of everyone, the camp fence became more and more curved.
Until a certain moment, along the line of the camp, a loud noise like the earth was shattering suddenly erupted.
The entire wooden fence of the Han camp had been pushed to the ground. The fallen wooden fence crushed many Han soldiers who had no time to dodge.
"Charge into the enemy camp¡ª¡ª"
"Kill all the enemies¡ª¡ª"
With a roar that shook the sky, the Chu army rushed up from the broken camp fence like a torrent that burst a dike, mercilessly smashing the enemies under their feet.
50,000 Chu troops crashed into the line of the camp that stretched for more than 70 steps.
Broad swords, spears, and sharp spears, all slashing at the frightened enemy with endless sharpness, Chu?Driving straight in, they were killed along the way.
Once the camp fence was broken, the last line of defense of the Han army was breached. The morale of more than 10,000 Han troops fell to the bottom, and the morale of the army collapsed.
Collapse!
"Don't retreat, hold on for me. Anyone who dares to retreat will be dealt with by military law!" Le Jin roared hoarsely, but he still couldn't control the defeat.
Angry Le Jin even killed several defeated enemies with his own hands, but still could not restore the defeat.
Le Jin was angry and ashamed of his failure, but he did not retreat with the army. He was still killing with his sword and wanted to fight with all his strength.
In the rebellious army, Huang Zhong rode his horse and wielded his sword. The blade passed by and the flying heads were left behind. He cut a bloody path and went straight to Lejin.
Le Jin, who was fighting a bloody battle, suddenly felt an extremely fierce fighting spirit coming in.
When he turned his head sharply, he saw a veteran general of the Chu army approaching with an unstoppable killing force.
There is no need to guess that among the Chu army, Huang Zhong is the only veteran general with such power.
"Old thief, even if you Le Jin die in battle today, I will kill you as a backup."
Le Jin roared, wielded his sword, clapped his horse and charged forward.
Huang Zhong rushed towards him with a cold look of disdain on his lips. In his eyes, Le Jin was just a bastard, and he was not worthy of a fight.
"The remnants of Cao's army, please accept your fate~~"
Amidst the violent shouts, Huang Zhong raised a knife and slashed forward with the power of the furious waves. (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
