Devil’s Advent

At this moment, the Chu army formation is under tremendous pressure from all directions, and the soldiers and horses of the Yan army from all walks of life are aiming at the opportunity they have found and are trying to penetrate it;

However, when that heavy armored cavalry appeared on the battlefield, the soldiers of the Chu army from the top to the bottom of Xiong Ting Mountain were instantly attracted by it.

Without him, it is impossible for you to ignore such a terrifying momentum.

Three thousand heavy armored cavalry, compared to the huge battlefield where hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting on both sides, seems like a small number, but sometimes, a piercing blow at a local key position is enough to directly determine the direction of the entire battlefield .

"Cavalry intercept, come out!"

Xiong Tingshan, who was standing on the shaft, gave the order immediately.

The most precious thing in Chu State is the cavalry. These years... No, to be precise, Chu State's pursuit of cavalry has never stopped;

The so-called great Chu infantry is the most feasible way to adapt to the terrain of Chu to deal with the Shanyue people, but in foreign wars, everyone knows the importance of cavalry;

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Situ family to rely on a Nanguan Pass to carry Chu State back to the north.

Under Xiong Tingshan's order, two breaches immediately appeared in the army formation, and two Chu cavalry rushed out quickly, blocking the heavy armored cavalry.

This is a painful decision, because these two big Chu cavalry, after they are released, will no longer be able to get the cover of the main army. The National Cavalry will never be able to return.

Even if they successfully complete the task, they will be entangled and strangled to death by the Yan army cavalry that exists like hungry wolves in the vast surroundings.

No one would use cavalry like this unless it was absolutely necessary, and Xiong Tingshan had no other choice now.

It took almost no thinking to figure out what would be the consequences of letting this heavy armored cavalry slam into their own army formation. On this large plain, once the army formation was broken and the Chu army lost the cover of the army formation, Will be reduced to the flesh and blood that swallow dogs are vying to bite.

The charge of the heavy armored cavalry is still going on;

Knights, look like iron, because their lord is right in front of them!

Those brave beasts and horses that can carry heavy armor also have heavy breaths, not because they are tired, but because of the wildness and violence emanating from the brave beast at the front, which ignites all their emotions, making the blood in their veins seem like At this time, there is a feeling of burning.

The Chu cavalry rushed over from the two wings. Compared to Zheng Fan, who charged at the forefront, he was not under the most pressure, because the appearance of the Chu cavalry was like two hands stretched out to stop them. It was the shoulders, not the head, and what swept in front of Zheng Fan was only the tail of the Chu army.

Pixiu, who finally got the chance to fight in battle, showed a very strong quality at this time. I saw him turn sideways, not only did his speed not decrease, but he also created a gap for his master to pierce.

"puff!"

The tip of the flagpole of the black dragon flag directly flew the Chu army knight in front of him. Although the terrifying force did not break his armor, it was enough to shatter his internal organs.

next moment,

Pixiu pulled again, and Zheng Fan waved the long flag again, sweeping down three Chu army knights in succession.

Subsequently,

Zheng Fan lowered his body and dodged a lance;

Pixiu slammed his body against him fiercely, knocking down the Chu army knight with his horse and man.

No matter whether it is the prince above or the Pixiu below, these few years have basically had no chance to fight in person, but this pair at this time, they played and cooperated extremely well.

After all, the prince is a pinnacle master of the fourth rank. Compared with Tian Wujing and Yu Huaping, he can only be regarded as mediocre, but compared with ordinary people, he is also a genius among ordinary people.

Not to mention Pixiu, looking at the entire Great Swallow, how many Pixiu are there?

Not to mention Zheng Fan's one, the demon kings would use it to do some small experiments in their spare time. Since it didn't die, it must have been tortured stronger.

After Zheng Fan stabbed a Chu army knight over again, Zheng Fan, who had completed a round of hedging, subconsciously turned his head to look behind him.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The heavy armored cavalry forcibly crushed the battle situation in a tyrannical posture. The Chu cavalry was like paper in front of them. A group of strong men are completely vulnerable.

This is a matter of course. In the ordinary sense of cavalry hedging, life and death are often a split second. If you can't deal with the opponent in front of you, you may be dealt with in the next instant.

The way to deal with the heavy armored cavalry is very simple. Flying kites outside is just to wear down their physical strength. After success, the heavy armor will become a burden instead, and the situation will be reversed directly;

But the people of Chu didn't have this time. Even if these Chu army cavalry were flying kites and throwing kites outside, the heavy armored cavalry could completely ignore these arrows and go directly to complete their mission to collide with the Chu army formation.

On the walkway, Xiong Tingshan looked at all this in disbelief. He knew that it was unlikely to stop him, but he really didn't expect his cavalry to be so vulnerable.

Individuals have limitations.

For example, let Zheng Fan lead a team of infantry to wipe out Shanyue in the ravines or go to the southwest of Qianguo to fight the natives. After breaking away from the habitual thinking of cavalry moving in depth and moving, Zheng Fan will also be confused and uncomfortable;

The same is true for Xiong Tingshan. Without a person who has commanded a large-scale cavalry corps and summed up experience and lessons in continuous practice and actual combat, it is difficult to really see the true meaning of cavalry in the war mode. On this point, Xiong Tingshan In fact, he is very good, as one of the few remaining elite generals in the Great Chu, he understands;

But the problem is that the heavy armored cavalry that Liang Cheng has cultivated and trained over several years has gone beyond the scope of traditional cavalry warfare.

There are nearly a thousand beasts alone. In the past, only when the official rank reached a certain height, similar to Xu Wenzu when he was recruiting envoys, could he be eligible to be assigned one;

From mounts, to armor, to weapons, to training, to maintenance, and how to maintain the ability to quickly mount and charge at any time after going to the battlefield, every detail requires a lot of war wisdom.

In short, this is not just three thousand cavalry in thick armor, but an army of three thousand beasts!

The failure of the Chu cavalry, in fact, slowed down the charge of the Yan army to a certain extent, but the problem is that after witnessing their own cavalry being "cut melons and vegetables", the Chu army finally The frontline infantry, the shock they suffered in their hearts, and the rapid decline in the morale of the army because of this shock, were enough to smooth out this little slowdown of the Yan army, or even exceed it.

In this world, there are things more terrifying than death, and there are many.

These soldiers of the Chu army, as the forbidden army of the Great Chu Royal Family, are indeed elite, and they are willing to fight to the death, but when they see this kind of battle, the physical discomfort is enough to destroy their hearts in a short time. will.

Facing the frontal charge of the cavalry itself is a kind of great pressure,

Facing a charge of heavy cavalry...

"shoot!"

The Chu army officer began to order to shoot arrows. From the incoherence of the arrows shot, it can be seen how bad the Chu army's current mental state is.

Facing the incoming arrows,

Zheng Fan immediately got down on his knees, and the Pixiu under his crotch raised his neck very intimately. It was covered in armor, and it was not afraid, even if the armor was pierced, it didn't matter. It had rough skin and thick flesh.

After all, this master of mine finally took him to charge, and God knows when he will have to wait for the next time;

After all, there are thousands of younger brothers watching him behind him, so how can he stretch his hips?

The sound of arrows hitting armor came from time to time,

Some arrows still hit Zheng Fan, but most of them were on the periphery of the body and did not touch the vital parts;

And when Zheng Fan was wearing the king's clothes, the wind moved thousands of troops and horses but could not move his clothes. Is it really just because of the suppression of the king's spirit?

It's purely because... this set of royal clothes, it hides a mystery, it is very heavy, the decoration on the outside is a kind of needlework, and the inside is woven with mithril thread.

Wearing it is equivalent to a set of soft armor embedded in a set of royal clothes, and it is extremely tough soft armor, which is several times more effective than leather armor.

This is not Siniang's handwriting. When Ji Laoliu made this set of regent clothes in the Ming Palace, he took into account the character of "cowardly and afraid of death" surnamed Zheng, so he made extremely considerate arrangements.

It's also thanks to the fact that Dayan's regent king is a fourth-rank martial artist, and if he were an ordinary person, once he wore this royal uniform, he would be unable to walk at all!

distance,

pull closer,

pull closer,

coming!

Zheng Fan clamped the flagpole tightly,

Pixiu let out a roar,

Facing the spear protruding from between the shields of the Chu army in front, it didn't even hide, it just smashed it!

"boom!!!"

This smash directly made a gap, the shield broke, the shield hand was knocked away, and even the spearman was overturned.

However, the position of Pixiu's hoof was hit hard, and the people of Chu also arranged things on the ground, which made Pixiu's balance completely lost at this time.

Sensing this situation, Zheng Fan immediately threw out the black dragon flag in his hand, and then slapped Pixiu's back with one palm, separating himself from Pixiu.

"Buzz!"

Pixiu fell down, slid on the ground, and knocked away many soldiers of the Chu army. Afterwards, it got up quickly again. Several arrows and two spears were already inserted into its body, but it still Head held high, showing the majesty of the beast of the Dayan totem.

Zheng Fan, who landed, pulled out Wu Ya from his waist as quickly as possible;

However, the surrounding Chu soldiers hadn't had time to double-team, and Zheng Fan hadn't had time to show off among the thousands of troops the sword skills he had been practicing every afternoon for these years;

from the rear,

The terrifying impact sound resounded directly through the whole area!

Just like pushing away building blocks, the Chu army's forward formation was flattened in one piece, and all soldiers of the Chu army who dared to intercept them turned into flesh in an instant. The momentum behind the outer front continued, and continued to push forward.

This is the battlefield, but the heavy armored cavalry is on the battlefield...Forcibly pushed!

Holding the saber, Zheng Fan stood there. After the heavy armored cavalry rushed over, they consciously bypassed their lord and continued to move forward. There was basically no opponent at Zheng Fan's side.

Originally, he was at the forefront, but now, the front line is in front of him.

From the perspective of the falcon hovering above, the originally rock-solid Chu army formation seemed to be crushed all the way down by a thick finger, breaking a big hole.

However, after this charge, the casualties of the heavy armored cavalry will be very large. Their heavy armor is their greatest protection, but also their greatest threat;

Once a horse falls, it is easy to break a bone, and at the same time, Pao Ze behind has no time to pull and avoid him, so he can only be trampled;

And once the momentum is complete, they have no ability to turn around at all. One is that the strength of the knight and Pixiu can hardly support them to penetrate again in a short time, and the other is that it is difficult for them to turn around.

Therefore, many heavy armored knights in front of them fell into the siege of the Chu army. They couldn't even move, they could only be suppressed and lost their lives as a result.

A round of rushing,

Nearly half of the casualties!

This is an absolutely terrifying battle loss ratio, but from the perspective of a war commander, it is extremely worthwhile.

Because the Yan troops from all walks of life in the periphery have already started to cut in crazily along the broken hole. If the Chu army formation is compared to a turtle shell, then now that the turtle shell is broken, the soft meat inside will become the most delicious food. tasty.

The collapse of the Chu army is inevitable, and it is already happening.

Zheng Fan held the knife, he did not choose to retreat at this time, but continued to move forward.

But soon, Zheng Fan found that his current advance was futile, not only the heavy armored cavalry was in front of him, but the Yan army cavalry who followed up had also rushed in front of him.

The lord gritted his teeth, he hadn't enjoyed killing yet, but he had no choice but to turn his head and walk to the place where Pixiu was. After keeping a standing posture to welcome the heavy cavalry, Pixiu finally couldn't hold back and knelt down there. .

Zheng Fan looked at it and saw that this guy still had the energy to make eye contact with him, so he knew that this guy couldn't die.

Stretching out his hand, he began to help him pull out the arrow embedded in his body. It penetrated into the flesh, but it was not deep, and it also knew how to use its muscles to clamp the wound to stop the bleeding.

However, just as Zheng Fan was about to pull out the broken spear, a corpse of a Chu soldier who had been lying beside him suddenly jumped up, rushed to Zheng Fan, and pulled a machete at Zheng Fan's neck. come over.

Zheng Fan's figure flashed quickly, and the machete failed to break through his throat, but slashed at his chest.

Zheng Fan held his chest with his left hand, his Qi and blood were broken, his royal clothes were cut, and a bloody wound appeared on his body.

This is by no means an ordinary soldier. If ordinary soldiers in the Chu State could have this strength, then Da Chu would have been able to go to heaven long ago.

The assassin didn't give Zheng Fan a chance to breathe, so he posted it again.

Pixiu let out an angry roar, and forced himself to get up to help.

Wu Ya in Zheng Fan's hand started to block first. After fighting for three times in a row, Zheng Fan only felt his blood surge and his throat was sweet, but the assassin couldn't get any closer to him after all.

At this time, the Yan army nearby had discovered this situation and was quickly encircling it.

The assassin knew that he didn't have much time, so he swung his knife again and was blocked by Zheng Fan, and then shot three short arrows from his cuff.

However, this blow did not have any unexpected effect;

For Zheng Fan, you can pretend to be a soldier and pretend to be dead, so how can you not guard against your hidden weapons?

Wu Ya brandished a blade ahead of time, sweeping away all the hidden weapons;

The assassin's eyes were fixed, and he was about to continue attacking, but at this moment, two Yan army knights charged forward, slashing with their sabers, and forced the assassin back.

Zheng Fan didn't continue to be serious, and started to retreat quickly, not because he was afraid, but because he needed a few breaths to calm down his blood. When he rushed to fight before, he had already consumed a lot. Opening and closing a few moves in succession, aggravating the restlessness of his blood.

"My lord."

Ah Ming's voice appeared behind Zheng Fan.

"You're late." Zheng Fan smiled.

"No."

Zheng Fan turned his head, only to find that A Ming's chest was completely shot by a long black arrow. The bloody part of the arrow was emitting white smoke, obviously poisonous.

A Ming looked to the west, and there was a Chu soldier staring at him angrily. His arrow failed.

However, his remorse did not last long, and his head was cut off in half by a Yan army knight who followed up.

At this time, a group of Yan army knights began to consciously protect Zheng Fan, surrounded and protected him.

Ah Ming silently pulled out the arrow from his body;

"Really, I haven't been shot for a long time, and I'm not used to it."

"How about poison?"

A Ming shook his head and said, "Don't worry, my lord, it's not a big problem for me, but the recovery time may be a bit longer."

"I'm self-willed." Zheng Fan said.

A Ming smiled, and said: "Even if the subordinate is not here, the subordinate does not think that the lord will die under this arrow. We have always teased the lord that your life is not good on the battlefield, and you are always easy to hide Hidden arrows are hard to guard against, but the problem is, these years, haven't we all helped the Lord to block you.

This is what we should do, and the Lord should not have died. "

Zheng Fan stretched out his hand, patted Ah Ming's shoulder, and said:

"It's a pity, I haven't reached the third rank."

"It's not flattery or something, but the subordinates were quite touched when they saw the master rushing forward.

my lord,

Go ahead, the subordinates can block a few more arrows for you, you just have to enjoy yourself. "

"good."

Zheng Fan stretched out his hand, and a knight from the Yan Army got off his horse and gave the mount to the prince. Zheng Fan turned on his horse, raised his knife, and greeted the surrounding knights:

"Pass down the order, all the troops in the army, give this king a one-stop chase across the Wei River!

Where did the Chu army flee to?

us,

Just go after it! "

"Here!"

In the distance, the Chu army began to collapse, while the Yan army continued to advance, trying to smash all the Chu army's establishment as quickly as possible.

Similar scenes are happening in many battlefields.

Everywhere is the army of Yan chasing prey, and the army of Chu fleeing south;

A few days ago, the elites of the great Chu who were still singing and advancing, have now been completely reduced to routs with a dispirited army;

A hundred years ago, the first Marquis of Zhenbei defeated the 500,000 Northern Expedition Army of the Qian Kingdom;

Today, the King Regent of Dayan defeated the 500,000 Northern Chu Army;

Although the fighting on the battlefield is still going on, and the battle is not completely over, but looking at the current situation, you can already shout that sentence with confidence:

Chu State, has already been laid down in this battle!

...

Xiong Tingshan was holding a long knife, beside him were more than 200 personal guards, but on the periphery, he was surrounded by thousands of Yan army knights.

On the ground around them, there were many dead bodies of soldiers from both sides.

Xiong Tingshan panted heavily, staring around with tiger eyes;

At this time,

A group of Jinyi cavalry appeared and joined the siege. Their clothes were so obvious in the generally dark painting style of the Yan army.

A figure wearing royal clothes also appeared in the group of brocade clothes.

The prince raised his hand,

All the knights of the Yan Army who had raised their bows and arrows put down their bows and arrows one after another;

Xiong Tingshan roared:

"Zheng Fan, your royal robe is not too different from the dragon robe of the emperor of Yan Kingdom!

I don't understand

Why don't you want to be that emperor! "

Zheng Fan sat on the horseback, looking at Xiong Tingshan in the distance,

road:

"Didn't you, Xiong Tingshan, rebel and become the emperor of Chu?"

Xiong Tingshan laughed loudly and said:

"I couldn't beat my fourth brother, so I surrendered and bowed my head. And you, the Emperor of Yan Kingdom, I admit that you can be regarded as a wise master, but you may not be able to beat him, no, how can you not beat him!"

It can be heard that Xiong Tingshan was defeated in this battle, and the regent in his eyes now is no different from the King Jingnan in Nian Yao's eyes back then.

Zheng Fan replied:

"It's because it's so easy to play with him, so I'm too lazy to play with him."

"Hahahahaha..."

"What about you, why didn't you run away?" Zheng Fan asked.

After the Chinese army was defeated, Xiong Tingshan was able to lead the elite around him and fled southward one step ahead, but in this chaotic situation, it was difficult for the Yan army to mobilize enough troops to chase him alone;

Unless it was particularly unlucky, Xiong Tingshan had a high possibility of escaping under the premise of so many routs as cover.

"Zheng Fan, Prince Regent, hehe, you should know why we put all our eggs in one basket this time.

Rather than being cut by you and the country of Yan behind you, it's better to take advantage of the power to fight and make a possibility, maybe even turn the tables.

Now, the bet is lost;

What are you going back to do?

If I really want to continue to live on my last breath, why does Lao Tzu come here?

Zheng Fan,

If in that carriage back then, you exposed your identity, don't use Mr. Su as a cover, just say that you are Zheng Fan, my fourth brother, I am afraid that he would really betroth his sister to you.

You are in my Great Chu, and you can also be crowned king.

Tell me, is there such a possibility?

Is it because of my great Chu's national fortune, it won't be like this? "

In fact, in recent years, the Emperor of Chu has never stopped wooing Zheng Fan. From the earliest hope that he could help Zheng Fan establish a country in the east of Jin, and later, he even said in a letter that he would wait for Zheng Fan and Xiong Liqing to have a son. Finally, he was willing to make this nephew a promise to be the prince of Da Chu.

But Zheng Fan has never been tempted by this.

Just like right now,

His answer to Xiong Tingshan was also very straightforward:

"That's not possible."

"Why? I am a big Chu, how can I not compare with Yan Guo?"

Zheng Fan smiled:

"because,

I just think,

This big swallow,

He deserves to unify these Xias. "

"No reason to say?"

"It doesn't make sense."

Xiong Tingshan took a deep breath and let it out slowly,

shouted again:

"Look,

After this battle, can I, Great Chu, still pose a threat to your country of Yan?

so,

The scene under Yupan City,

don't do it again;

They are all good sons, and I was incompetent for failing to lead them to victory.

No matter how hard you kill them all, it will only make the Chu people hate the Yan people even more, so it's time to be gentle. "

Zheng Fan said:

"When did you, Xiong Tingshan, feel that you are qualified to teach me how to do things?"

"I don't have the qualifications, a defeated general, how can there be any shit qualifications, even if I feel sorry for my sons, they are all raised by their mothers and fathers.

Now that the general situation is over and the struggle is hopeless, we have to survive for them once. "

"What do you ask for?"

"If I don't go, I just stay here and wait for you;

So that I can send my head to you, and let you hold my head to make them put down their resistance and surrender.

You majestic Yan Regent,

Could it be that this human blood is still needed to create your reputation? "

Zheng Fan didn't speak.

Xiong Tingshan held the knife with one hand, clamped it to his neck, and ordered:

"All of them, put down your weapons and surrender!"

The surrounding guards did not move.

"My lord, you're not dead yet!"

The guards put down their weapons and knelt down towards Xiong Tingshan.

Xiong Tingshan looked at Zheng Fan,

shouted:

"Take my head,

Son-in-law! "

"puff!"

Xiong Tingshan cut off his own head from the neck with the sword.

Head rolls to the ground,

The headless body fell backwards.

With tears in his eyes, a head of the personal guard held Xiong Tingshan's head in his arms, and walked slowly towards Zheng Fan's direction.

The head of the guards didn't get too close,

Instead, he held up Xiong Tingshan's head and knelt down on one knee:

"Please Prince Consort take over the head!"

Liu Dahu looked at Zheng Fan, who nodded slightly;

Liu Dahu got off his horse, walked over, took the head, and walked back.

Subsequently,

The head of the guard stood up, walked back, picked up a knife on the ground,

shouted:

"My lord, wait for us!"

The knife edge wiped his own neck, blood spattered, and he fell to the ground.

The more than two hundred personal guards who knelt beside Xiong Tingshan's remnant body picked up the weapons they had left behind one after another;

"My lord, come down!"

"My lord, wait for my subordinates!"

More than 200 personal guards all committed suicide and none of them survived. They all followed Xiong Tingshan.

This scene caused the surrounding Yan army knights to put away the joking and complacent expressions that surrounded the enemy chieftains. No matter what time they were in the army, they would always respect the bloody son Lang.

Zheng Fan's gaze moved away from there, and landed on the head held in Liu Dahu's hands.

a long time,

ordered:

"Pass down this king's decree and know the whole army;

This battle,

One capture is worth two heads. "
