Chapter 378: Battle of Jiyang City (Sixth)

Seeing this scene, both Tu Gao, Zheng Tuo, and even the generals of the Zhao army behind were disappointed. In Zhao State, there have always been two gods, one is the war god Zhao Xin, and the other is the war god Leyun. Zhao Xin led the Zhao army to dominate the world without losing. Leyun has already conquered the heroes of the world with his own powerful strength. Now that the war god has fallen and the war god has stepped down from the altar, it is undoubtedly a huge blow to Zhao State.

Zhang Chuan looked at the injured Le Yun and felt sad. He remembered Zhao Xin again. He thought of how arrogant the Zhao army was when Zhao Xin was still there. But now? He lost again and again. Even if he was as strong as Le Yun, he would no longer be as brave as he was back then. Is Le Yun's defeat today a sign of the decline of Zhao State?

The generals of Zhao State are old, which is not enough to support Zhao State, a giant. Some people may say that there are talents in the world and the huge Zhao State will definitely have new legends. However, Zhang Chuan's family knows his own affairs, not that Zhao State refuses to appoint the younger generation, but that the conflicts between the new and old of Zhao State are too deep. In the past, it was because of Zhao Xin's existence, and these contradictions have not yet erupted. However, with Zhao Xin's death, these long-hidden contradictions suddenly broke out.

The younger generation of Zhao State led by Li Rubing is very strong. Both Zhang Chuan and King Zhao in Jinyang City are very clear about this. However, Li Rubing and others misunderstood too deeply about some veterans in the army. They always believed that it was the existence of these veterans that no one could emerge except Li Rubing. Some people may say that they are still young and have many opportunities in the future, but there will be no harm without comparison. Looking at Deng State, they have always been at the helm of a group of young people. When Yue Fei, Chang Yuchun, Chang Yuchun and others took over the Deng Army, they were very young. Although they still tightly control the power of Deng Army, they also gave many opportunities to young people. In order to cultivate the younger generation, they specially formed a guard for them. At this point, Zhao State is far inferior to Deng State.

With this comparison, how could the younger generation of Zhao be convinced by these old people? Especially these old people are not very strong, but they occupy many important positions. As soon as Zhang Chuan took the throne of the general, he trapped the younger generation's leading figure Li Rubing in Jinyang City, which made the conflict between the old and the new even deeper. Zhang Chuan believed that as long as these young people were in power, they would probably liquidate their own group of old people as soon as possible, so they did not dare and would not hand over the power in their hands easily.

Le Yun’s defeat now is actually saying that the former golden generation of Zhao State is about to usher in a lonely day, and even Zhang Chuan doesn’t know what to do in the future.

Le Yun dragged his injured body back into the formation. Zhang Chuan did not blame the veteran because he knew that Le Yun had done his best. He devoted his life to Zhao State and repeatedly defeated the powerful enemy. So he patted Le Yun on the shoulder and asked him to go down to heal his wounds. Then he turned his eyes forward again. Now Le Yun lost, and Zhao army also lost the first formation of the general. Then the next two formations are very important.

After defeating Leyun, Li Cunxiao also retreated, and then Wang Yanzhang rode his horse out of the formation and stood in front of the formation, shouting loudly to Tu Gao and Zheng Tuo: "I am General Deng Wang Yanzhang, who dares to fight?"

When Zhao Jun saw Wang Yanzhang so aggressive, he frowned. Tu Gao said to Zheng Tuo: "General Zheng, you have just experienced a big battle and have not recovered yet. Let me leave it to you!"

Zheng Tuo nodded, and did not refuse Tu Gao. After all, when he was fighting in the battle, he fought with Jia Biao and could not win. He consumed a lot of physical strength. Now is not the time to be proud, so he said, "Okay, let's leave it to General Tu!"

Tu Gao nodded, then rode his horse out of the battle and fought with Wang Yanzhang. The two had similar strengths. This made the soldiers of the Deng and Zhao army excited. The two fought for hundreds of rounds, but they still had no choice but to stop. They all knew that the opponent's strength was equal to their own, and if they continued to fight, they would not decide the winner.

After taking a few steps back, Wang Yanzhang said to Tu Gao: "General Tu, it seems that it is difficult for you and I to decide the outcome today. Since that is the case, why not even draw, right?"

Tu Gao also knew that it would be difficult to win Wang Yanzhang today, and it was acceptable to be able to draw him, so he nodded and said, "General Wang is powerful, Tu Gao admires him, then he will be a draw!"

After the battle between Wang Yanzhang and Tu Gao was over, Zhang Chuan looked solemn. Le Yun lost in the first round, and now Tu Gao tied with Wang Yanzhang again, which put a lot of pressure on Zheng Tuo in the third round, especially Zheng Tuo who had just finished the first round, and his strength had not fully recovered, so he was probably in lingering.

Now there are only Wu Yunzhao and Zheng Tuo, and there is no choice at all. So after they reported their names to each other, they started fighting directly. Unlike Li Cunxiao, Leyun and Wang Yanzhang and Tu Gao, Wu Yunzhao completely suppressed Zheng Tuo as soon as he came up. Zheng Tuo's strength was not as strong as Wu Yunzhao. Moreover, when he was fighting against Jia Biao, he was still suppressed and beaten throughout the whole process. How could he be Wu Yunzhao's opponent now? So in less than twenty rounds, Zheng Tuo was defeated.

The battle was over and the Deng army won. Zhang Chuan could only accept the reality and led the army back thirty miles to prepare for the next full-scale war. However, due to the defeat in the battle, the morale of the Zhao army was greatly affected.

Jiyang City is located south of the Jishui River and there is no dangerous place around it, so it is very difficult to adopt a defensive strategy. So Zhang Chuan has no other way except to choose to fight Yue Fei head-on.

The Deng army was full of joy in the battle, especially Li Cunxiao seriously injured Le Yun, the most powerful general in Zhao State, and successfully reached the top of the world. Although in the past, some people have always said that Li Cunxiao was the most powerful general in the world, many people think it is controversial. After all, Li Cunxiao has not fought with Le Yun, but after today, Li Cunxiao has firmly held the throne. In addition, Zhao Xin's fall, Yue Fei's advantage in record defeated Bai Qi and became the world's number one general. At this point, the two major titles that once belonged to Zhao State fell into Deng State. Now Zhao State has only the title of the world's most powerful country, and what Yue Fei has to do next is to grab this title for Deng State.

In the Deng army camp and in the central tent, Yue Fei sat in the main seat and said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone, in today's battle, several generals showed their power and won the first victory for our army. It is really gratifying. After this battle, our army has completely gained the upper hand, but we cannot relax. After all, the Zhao army still has 250,000 people, and its strength is still very strong. Next, we need to completely defeat the Zhao army on the front battlefield, and take the title of the world's most powerful country for the great Deng and the king. I wonder if you have confidence?"

"Da Deng will win!" Everyone stood up and said in unison.

Three days later, Yue Fei once again sent a letter of war to Zhang, asking him to fight on the 10th April of the 22nd year of Qianyuan, that is, three days later, a decisive battle will be decided!

After receiving Yue Fei's letter of war, to be honest, Zhang Chuan refused in his heart because he had no confidence to defeat Deng Jun under Yue Fei's command, but did he have any other choice? Jiyang City is all plains and there is no dangerous place. The only city, Jiyang City, is still in the hands of Deng Jun. This led to Zhang Chuan's defense, and he had to choose to fight.

In the Zhao army's central tent, Zhang Chuan looked at everyone with a sad face and said, "Everyone, Yue Fei sent someone to issue a letter of war today, and asked our army to fight in three days!"

"Then the general agrees?" Military advisor Lin Qingfeng asked.

Zhang Chuan nodded and said, "I agree, but I can only agree. The current situation is very unfavorable for our army. We can only borrow one from the city and fight a fierce battle with Deng's army. Although I know that this is difficult, I still hope that a miracle can happen!"
