Chapter 376: Battle of Jiyang City (4)
Chapter 376: Battle of Jiyang City (IV)
Zhang Chuan agreed to Yue Fei's idea of fighting. This kind of fighting has an advantage for Zhang Chuan. After all, with his ability, if he fights against Yue Fei on a large scale, his chances of winning are not high. On the contrary, Zhang Chuan is still sure of such fighting soldiers, generals, and formations. After all, the strength of Zhao's army is not a vegetarian.
"Whose General Yue thinks it is better to conduct first?" Zhang Chuan asked Yue Fei.
"To General Zhang, Yue is just a guest today. Since that's the case, then Yue will come to the host and decide it. General Zhang doesn't know what General Zhang wants?" Yue Fei smiled and said bluntly, letting Zhang Chuanlai decide the order of the battle. This is not Yue Fei's politeness, but Yue Fei has confidence. No matter how Zhang Chuan decides the order of the battle, the person who wins the final victory must be himself. Since that's the case, why bother to worry about the order of the battle? Just let Zhang Chuanlai decide.
Zhang Chuan thought for a while and said, "Since General Yue is humble, Zhang is not polite. Let's start with the fight, then the fight general, and finally the fight formation. I wonder what General Yue thinks?" Zhang Chuan also thought about this order. First, the fight army, the Zhao army dominated the world for many years and was a famous strong army. Zhang Chuan was confident of taking down the first game, and the Zhao State had also emerged in the second game, and it was still very promising. As for why the fight formation was put in the last game, Zhang Chuan was very clear. In terms of military tactics and battle formations, he was not as good as Yue Fei. His chance of winning in this game was not great, so Zhang Chuan was all about winning the first two games and laying the foundation for the victory.
Yue Fei also knew Zhang Chuan's little thoughts, but he didn't care about it, because both fighting soldiers and generals, Deng's army was not inferior to others, so he nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then as General Zhang said, let's fight the army first, this fight is also very simple, and one battle will determine the winner and lose. I have always heard that the cavalry in Zhao State is unparalleled in the world. It just so happened that my grandfather also has two elite cavalry. Since that's the case, it's better for me to win and lose with the cavalry showdown. You and I will send 20,000 cavalry to compete!"
Yue Fei's words were exactly what Zhang Chuan thought. Deng's infantry was unparalleled in the world, which was also an existence that Zhang Chuan had always been very afraid of. When it comes to cavalry, Zhang Chuan was very confident that Zhao's cavalry had been conquering the grasslands all year round. In terms of elite level, they were far from comparable to Deng's cavalry. So he nodded and said, "Then according to General Yue's words, you and my army prepared for a stick of incense and then held a duel."
"Okay!" Yue Fei nodded and said, and then the two of them returned to the formation.
As soon as Yue Fei came back, everyone surrounded him and asked Yue Fei how he was. Yue Fei calmed down and said, "I have already done something with Zhang Chuan. Today we will fight the soldiers, fight the generals, fight the formation, win two wins in three games, and the loser will retreat 30 miles. The first game is the fight, and the two sides will compete with cavalry!"
After hearing Yue Fei's words, the generals of the Longxiang Guard and the Shenxing Guard were very happy, while the others looked disappointed. After all, the main theme was cavalry, so it had nothing to do with them.
"Was the general decided to send someone to fight?" Qin Lie, the general of Longxiang Guard, asked anxiously.
Yue Fei thought for a while and said, "This time our army needs to send 20,000 cavalry. General Luo Cheng was the former general of the country, and he had fought with the Zhao cavalry many times. General Jia Biao was also very experienced, so I decided that General Luo Cheng and General Jia Biao would lead their troops to fight!"
Now it was the turn of Longxiang Guard and other generals of Shenxing Guard who were depressed, and Luo Cheng and Jia Biao were also very happy and bowed to him and said, "Please rest assured, General, I will definitely take the first game!"
Yue Fei nodded and said, "It's good that the two generals have confidence. Since that's the case, let's go and prepare. After a stick of incense, a duel will be held in front of the formation!"
"Here!" Luo Cheng and Jia Biao responded!
After a stick of incense, 20,000 cavalry from the Deng army slowly came out. The head generals of the Deng army were Luo Cheng and Jia Biao, while the Zhao army was Chen Kai and Zheng Tuo. Both of them were veterans of the Zhao State and had very high attainments in cavalry combat.
On the Deng army side, Jia Biao saw that Zhao State sent Chen Kai and Zheng Tuo were sent, and immediately smiled. This was an old opponent, so he said to Luo Cheng on the side: "General Luo, the two generals sent by Zhao State are Chen Kai and Zheng Tuo. Although these two have deep attainments in cavalry combat, they both have one disadvantage, that is, their martial arts are far inferior to you and me. As long as we can knock them down, we will win this game!"
To be honest, when it comes to cavalry, Deng State is really inferior to Zhao State. Whether it is Jia Biao, Luo Cheng, or Yue Fei in the rear, they are also very clear about this. However, Deng State also has its own advantages, that is, the personal strength of the general is strong. As long as one force subdues ten teams, as long as the opponent's main general is defeated, even if the Zhao State cavalry can fly, it will not be able to win.
Luo Cheng nodded. He agreed with Jia Biao's idea, so he said, "Okay, as General Jia said, I wonder how strong these two people are? Which one is better to deal with?"
Jia Biao replied: "Of these two people, Zheng Tuo is relatively strong, so let me deal with it. As for Chen Kai, let it be given to General Luo!"
Luo Cheng nodded, without any intention of opposing Jia Biao. After all, Jia Biao and Chen Kai and Zheng Tuo are old opponents, so they are naturally very clear about their strength. After working together for so long, Luo Cheng also admitted that Jia Biao's strength is above him, so it is reasonable to deal with the stronger Zheng Tuo.
"Dong!Dong!Dong!" As the sound of war drums erupted, the cavalry of the Deng and Zhao armies rushed towards the other side one after another. The cavalry duel was very simple, that is, hedging. Whoever couldn't hold on first will lose.
As soon as they fought, the soldiers of Longxiang Guard also felt the gap between themselves and the world's top cavalry. After a while, the Deng army was at a disadvantage, but this was also expected by Jia Biao and Luo Cheng. Although the Deng army was at a disadvantage, they could still hold on. Moreover, Jia Biao and Luo Cheng's targets were never the cavalry of Zhao, but the two generals of the Zhao army, Chen Kai and Zheng Tuo. So the two looked at each other and rushed towards the opponents they had assigned earlier.
When Zheng Tuo saw Jia Biao rushing towards him, his face was very serious. When Jia Biao was in Qi, the two met many times. Jia Biao was very strong. In the entire Zhao State, no one was sure to fight Jia Biao except Le Yun. So when Zheng Tuo saw Jia Biao coming, he showed all his strength and could barely support him.
Zheng Tuo held on this side, but Chen Kai was not able to do it. Chen Kai was not strong enough. The difference between him and Luo Cheng was not the same street, but several streets. He was suppressed by Luo Cheng at the beginning, and was surrounded by danger. After exploring Chen Kai's strength, Luo Cheng no longer held back. Especially when he saw the cavalry of Longxiang Guard being suppressed by the Zhao cavalry, Luo Cheng attacked Chen Kai fiercely, which scared Chen Kai, and waved the weapons in his hand in panic and struggled to support him.
On the other hand, Zheng Tuo could not hold on at all. Zhang Chuan in the rear was also anxious. Zheng Tuo and Chen Kai were both generals of Zhao State and were veterans with rich experience on the battlefield. They must not make any mistakes. Even if they lost this game, Zheng Tuo and Chen Kai could not be injured, so they quickly ordered the Mingjin to withdraw their troops!
The sound of the Zhao army's sound of gold was heard, and the Deng and Zhao army stopped in the melee, while Jia Biao and Luo Cheng looked a little bit sad, just a little bit. If Zhang Chuan's sound of gold was a little bit late, they would definitely be sure to knock Zheng Tuo and Chen Kai down and completely defeat the Zhao cavalry. However, as generals, they also had their own demeanor. Since the Zhao army had already withdrawn the troops, they also stopped and led their troops back to the formation. In this game, Deng's army narrowly won.
Seeing Deng's army win, Yue Fei was relieved. This cavalry showdown has to be said to be a bit risky, especially when he saw the Longxiang Guard cavalry being suppressed by the Zhao army, Yue Fei couldn't help but regret the decision to choose the cavalry showdown. Fortunately, Luo Cheng and Jia Biao successfully won the first game for Deng's army with their strong personal strength and made a good start.
After the battle, Yue Fei and Zhang Chuan came to the front of the formation again. Yue Fei said to Zhang Chuan with joy: "General Zhang, the first game, I'll give in!"
Zhang Chuan looked depressed. He never dreamed that Zhao's army would lose because the general was inferior to Deng's army. However, Zhang Chuan was not the one who could not afford to lose. So he snorted coldly and said, "General Yue, if you win this first game, the next one is to fight the generals. I don't know how to compete?"
Yue Fei thought for a while and said, "Let's do this, you and I will select three generals and compete in three games. But this is not a three-game win, but a three-game win. The winner is the winner. I wonder what General Zhang thinks?"
"Yes, but if you have a word first, you must not hurt your life!" Zhang Chuan agreed with Yue Fei's meaning, but said something to the point. He was really scared by the cruelty of Luo Cheng and Jia Biao just now. If he hadn't been tortured to withdraw the troops in time, Zheng Tuo and Chen Kai would have really told him here.
