Chapter 407 A Ruthless Man Meets a Ruthless Man
In the early morning three days later.
northern line.
The northern line of the Qin army started from Chendi in the west and reached Fulisai in the east. Wang Jian was in charge of Chendi.
The northern line of the Chu Army starts from the border land south of Fulisai in the east, and ends in Juyang, Dangling, and Sleeping City in the east. Xiang Yan sits in Juyang.
For the past two months, Old General Wang Jian has not dispatched the most powerful army.
For example, heavy armored cavalry, heavy armored knives and axes, but only ordinary infantry and light cavalry, plus crossbowmen, to face Xiang Yan.
Even so, Xiang Yan was not Wang Jian's opponent. From the number of casualties of the two armies, it can be seen that the Chu army had more than [-] casualties in the previous battle, while the Qin army only had more than [-] casualties.
Wang Jian has been waiting for the final decisive battle.
At this time, in the general's tent, the Pi generals Qiang Li, Yang Duanhe, and Zhang Tang are all here.
Wang Jian finally bared his fangs.
"General Zhang Tang!"
"The end is here!"
"You lead [-] heavy armored cavalry, [-] heavy armored knives and axes, [-] crossbowmen, [-] light cavalry, a total of [-], as the main force, I will block the cavalry of the Chu army for the old man, and you can't let them show off. Wei's chance."
Zhang Tang was overjoyed, patted his chest, and hurried forward and said: "Hahaha, don't worry, the general, there are heavy cavalry, I will beat Xiang Yan's shit out of him."
Wang Jian glared at Zhang Tang, and said in a cold voice, "Accidents are the most common occurrence on the battlefield, and arrogance is the most feared thing. General Zhang Tang, what this general values is your courage to fear death, but don't be arrogant..."
Only then did Zhang Tang shrink his neck, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the general, the last general is the most calm."
Wang Jian: "..."
Wang Jian glanced at Zhang Tang again, feeling a little unconfident.
This guy is as famous as Zhang He, but he is not as steady as Zhang He. He killed so many people that he dare not leave the state of Qin for fear of being assassinated. You still say you are steady?
However, it was precisely because Wang Jian valued this guy's murderous aura that he handed over the main force this time to Zhang Tang.
Xiang Yan definitely hides the most elite main force.
Perhaps only the insolent Zhang Tang can chew on this bone.
Qiang Lu and Yang Duanhe looked disappointed, they didn't expect such a good job to be snatched away by Zhang Tangsha.
It seems that on the battlefield, the two of them are still too kind.
This time you have to perform well, kill a few more enemies, and show your fierce side.
"Qiang Li!"
"The end is here!"
Wang Jian took a deep breath, looked at Qiang Li, and said solemnly: "This time, your mission is the heaviest and most dangerous."
Qiang Li looked at Wang Jian, patted his chest and said, "General, when have I ever been afraid of danger?"
"Okay, the old man will give you the Golden Fire Cavalry and the Hundred Battles Armored Army, a total of 2 light cavalry, you lead them, and when the big battle starts, don't be obsessed with fighting, and run thousands of miles to attack the Yellow Dragon."
Qiang Yan solemnly bowed and saluted, and shouted: "Don't worry, General, the general will definitely complete the task."
"Yang Duanhe, this general will hand over the remaining cavalry, totaling [-], to you. Your task is to intersperse the Chu army, disrupt Xiang Yan's deployment, and support the old man at any time..."
"The last general takes orders!"
The three of them were very happy. Wang Jian reused the three of them this time, and the most powerful army gave them all three.
Finally, Wang Jian said with a smile: "I am old, so I won't take credit with you. I will lead the remaining infantry and crossbowmen to meet the old guy Xiang Yan in Juyang City."
"Okay, the time for the agreed attack is up. Everyone, in the last battle against Chu, you must fight beautifully. You must fight with the military power of Daqin, so that Qi Yan can see that trembling power."
Everyone was excited and shouted: "Great Qin Wannian, Great King Wannian!"
"Great Qin Wannian, Great King Wannian, let's go!"
All of a sudden, everyone on the northern front was about to move.
The Qin army moved in a wide range and flocked to the defensive line of the Chu army.
The sky was slightly bright, and with an order, the Qin army pushed all 11 people up, facing the 30 troops of the Chu army on the northern line, without any sense of fear.
Instead, every soldier rushed up screaming.
On the one hand, the Chu army.
Xiang Yan is also cunning and cunning.
After the battle of the Chu army in Chendi, Xiang Yan saw that the situation was not right, so he kept the elite troops and sent them to the battlefield. All the slaves died in the battle.
The 15 elite troops have been retained until now. Even if he was beaten and retreated to the area of Dangling Juyang, there are still no elite troops. Xiang Yan is waiting to consume the strength of the Qin army.
The two old foxes both used Tian Ji's strategy and tactics of horse racing.
But by mistake, Wang Jian took a big advantage. After all, the Qin army is all regular troops.
Chu army barracks.
Xiang Yan is still making arrangements, because the Qin army has been dispatching troops since last night, and he reckons that Wang Jian will launch a full-scale offensive at the latest in the early morning of this morning.
"General Yu Kan, it's all up to you to resist the main force of the Qin army this time."
"This general will give you [-] cavalry, [-] infantry, [-] crossbowmen, and [-] chariots."
"You must remember, forbearance, forbearance until the end, before you can shoot a crossbowman..."
Yu Kan knew what Xiang Yan meant!
In the end, the crossbowmen were sent out, and they were going to be shot and killed together with their own people.
But he still nodded his head heavily. In this battle, the Qin people were stronger than the Chu army in every aspect, so they had to use this cruel method.
One will be successful, let alone for the great cause of Chu State, their sacrifice is worth it.
Yu Kan was later Xiang Yu's father-in-law, Yu Ji and Yu Ziqi's father.
The relationship between the Xiang family and the Yu family is still very good, and the two families are family friends.
Yu Kan is young and energetic at this time, about the same age as Xiang Rong, and it is time to make contributions.
The Yu family is a well-known family in the Chu state. Yu Kan has received a good education since he was a child, but he has not left any achievements in history. This time, as Xiang Yan's deputy general, he defended on the northern front.
Yu Kan bowed and said, "General, don't worry, unless Qin Jun steps over me, I won't be able to cross the line of defense."
Xiang Yan once again looked at another general, Zhong Lixin.
This man is a strong man, with a burly figure, unlike a southerner, but with an unshaven beard, he looks more like a northerner.
This person is also the father of Xiang Yu's general Zhong Limei in history.
"General Zhonglixin, my Xiang family has an iron cavalry of 5000 men who are very good at running thousands of miles. The old man entrusted them to you. Your mission this time is to capture the thief first and capture the king first. Look for opportunities to pass through the enemy army and touch the king." On the battlefield behind the enemy, that old fellow Wang Jian was captured alive."
Zhong Lixin immediately took the order and left.
Finally, Xiang Yan drew out his long sword and said to the other generals: "This is the last battle, everyone, please, this is the battle of Chu State, this battle wins, Chu State survives, this battle fails, Chu State is destroyed, I will become a minister of subjugation!"
"Yesterday, the old man ordered the carpenter to make a coffin for the old man. We will go to battle tomorrow. If the old man dies in battle, I hope that all of you who are alive will save the old man's body."
"I, Xiang Yan, will never be a subjugated slave!"
"General, I am willing to fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death..."
"Woooooooo..."
The dull sound of the horn came from a distance, and then there was the sound of scouts rushing from outside.
"General, the Qin army is attacking in an all-round way, only twenty miles away from us!"
Xiang Yan turned around: "Generals, set off and fight to the death!"
"Woooooooo..."
The entire northern front, Qin and Chu, all sounded the horn of attack.
Sleeping outside the city.
Zhang Tang led 6 heavy armored cavalry, 11 knives and axes, [-] crossbowmen, [-] light cavalry, a total of [-] horses, and faced the [-] main force of the Chu army led by Yu Kan of the Chu army.
Judging from the number of people on both sides, the Chu army was twice as powerful as the Qin army, taking advantage of it.
But from the perspective of equipment, the two armies are also the main force, and the equipment of the Chu army is really unsightly.
Zhang Tang blushed, and hit the horse, which was roaring crazily, and brandished a long knife with both hands, directly showing off his power in front of the formation of both sides.
The Qin army behind them had high morale, and their banners were flying. At a glance, they were so densely packed that they couldn't see the edge.
"Hahaha, I am Zhang Tang of the Great Qin Dynasty. Who is leading the army on the other side? Report your name. I, Zhang Tang, never kill unknown generals."
The corner of Yu Kan's mouth twitched, and he snorted coldly in his heart, look at you, crazy!
"I am Yu Kan, the deputy general of Chu State. In terms of seniority, you are an old boy, or my junior, why are you so rampant?"
"Chariot soldiers, charge forward!"
"The cavalry then pressed up."
Chapter 408 Wang Jian vs. Xiang Yan
Without further ado, Yu Kan let the chariot soldiers charge forward. He knew that the Qin army's bows and crossbows were too powerful, so he used the sacrifice of the chariot soldiers to block the crossbow arrows for the cavalry.
As long as the Qin people's bows and crossbows are covered, he has [-] light cavalry, and the opponent's total army is only [-]. If you don't wipe out all of you today, I will take your surname.
On the chariot in front of the army, the banner of the Chu army was waving, the drums were thundering, and [-] chariot soldiers galloped out in an instant, and [-] cavalry followed the horses.
Zhang Tang saw that Yu Kan directly let the chariot soldiers charge into the formation, and cold sweat came down his forehead.
Fortunately, the old general Wang Jian gave him heavy cavalry and told him to be careful of chariot soldiers. Although chariot soldiers have withdrawn from the stage of history, they should not be underestimated.
"Quickly, press all the crossbows on me and kill their forward chariot soldiers."
"Heavy cavalry, charge with me and defeat them!"
"Heavy armor knife and axe, then follow up to pick up the head."
"Twenty thousand light cavalry, surrounded on both sides."
All of a sudden, on the open plain outside the sleeping city, smoke and dust rose everywhere, horses neighed, drums were beating, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
The Qin and Chu armies, like two torrents, rushed towards each other quickly.
However, at this time, the crossbowmen on both sides showed their power at the same time and started long-range attacks.
It's just that the crossbowmen of the Chu army still stay within two hundred steps due to technical reasons, while the range of the crossbowmen of the Qin army is already beyond three hundred steps.
Especially the big crossbow, once it shows its power, it is a meat grinder.
The chariot soldiers of the Chu army really had bows and crossbows for the cavalry of the Chu army.
Five thousand chariots, or more than 2000 chariots, were all dismantled halfway by the Qin Army's crossbow.
However, the cavalry of the Chu army rushed up and directly collided with the heavy armor of the Qin army.
After the two sides collided together.
Qin Jun's heavy armor finally showed its power, like an arrow, it directly killed a bloody path, killing [-] cavalry.
Yu Kan's eyes were red. He and Xiang Yan still underestimated Qin's crossbows and heavy armored cavalry.
This is an invincible existence on the battlefield.
The cavalry of the Chu army finally rushed over after being mostly injured, but what they were facing was still a bow and crossbow.
A continuous crossbow that can fire twenty arrows in a row, and a wave of arrow rain, caused countless cavalrymen to fall off their horses, causing heavy damage.
Yu Kan in the distance couldn't help closing his eyes, and then took a deep breath, don't panic, hold on, hold on!
The Chu army has not yet been defeated, and is about to approach the infantry.
When Yu Kan saw that the ten thousand infantrymen were their meritorious service, he never thought that they were the Qin army's heavy armored swordsmen, who were simply the nemesis of the light cavalry.
Just these 1 people blocked the charge of the cavalry of the Chu army, but those crossbowmen dropped their crossbows, drew their knives and rushed towards the cavalry of Chu, screaming and screaming.
