Chapter 167 Battle of Jingxiang (1)
Updated: 2012-08-23
There were more than 100,000 Wei troops entering the Xiangfan area. Du Yu set up defenses in order to try his best to get time to take down Fancheng and Xiangyang. With Fancheng and Xiangyang, there was a bridgehead for invading Jingzhou. At the same time, Xiangfan's geographical location and superior and developed water and land transportation increased countless possibilities for the Wei army's subsequent tactics. The Wei army in Xiangfan was like a nail, nailed to the territory of Shu Han. The cracks generated became larger and larger, spreading from all directions and eventually causing the Shu Han regime to collapse.
If everything goes well, this is the best result, of course for the Wei State. But in fact, the only remaining Wu County in the southeast has been forced to take a defensive position, and the Shu Han army that pacified the south of the Yangtze River will soon turn its spearhead and head to the Jingzhou battlefield. Before the main force of Shu Han arrived, the Wei army must occupy Xiangyang to have the capital to compete with the Shu army. Otherwise, even Fancheng would not be able to defend it. It would take at least two months for Fancheng to be restored after the Wei army's attack and baptism. In two months, the Shu army and the Wei army had already decided to win and lose on the Jingzhou battlefield.
At this time, the Wei army occupied Fancheng and surrounded and killed Shu Han soldiers north of Xiangjiang. The siege under Xiangyang City also began. According to the military situation brought by spies, there were only more than 20,000 defenders in Xiangyang, and 10,000 of them were still fighting outside the city under the leadership of Shu general Ma Rong. The soldiers in the city were less than 10,000, and it was really difficult to defend Xiangyang such a huge city.
The Shu army closest to Xiangyang is more than 8,000 people, Yang Ji and Xiong Kui, but there are tens of thousands of Wei troops separated by them! It is impossible to enter the city or destroy the Wei army's offensive against Xiangyang. What the Shu army can do is to try to gather with all the troops on the battlefield and get a chance to gather troops together.
After all, my mission was not to repel the Wei army, but to create a situation for the later Shu army.
Yang Ji's two swords drew countless halos, and another Wei general was caught. Du Yu was too lazy to send elite soldiers and generals to confront the Shu army. Even though Yang Ji killed many people, the Shu army that died at the same time was dozens or even hundreds of times. However, if this Shu army was not defeated as soon as possible, if that Shu army appeared, its strength would still be somewhat insufficient.
Thinking of this, Du Yu's waved his flag and joined the battle group like an arrow. Yang Ji was returning to the battle, but suddenly found countless Wei cavalry rushing towards him. These Wei cavalry were all covered with thick armor, and the war horses also covered their vests. The long spear in their hands was extremely sharp. Once they joined the battle formation, the Shu army following him was almost defeated at once!
Two long spears stabbed towards each other, and whistling sounds behind them at the same time, and two horses poked beside them. However, in a blink of an eye, Yang Ji suddenly found himself in a dead end! These heavy armored knights not only had unparalleled impact, but also were skilled in the art of combined attack! Several heavy riders cooperated to assassinate the same opponent, killed the enemy as soon as possible, and continued one after another.
Yang Ji was not afraid of death, but no one was willing to die! He fought back with his life, and his swords suddenly spun up. After resisting the long spears on the front and side at the fastest speed, Yang Ji knew that he was dead... It was not that he was not brave enough, nor that he was not fast enough, but that the long spears on the opponent were much heavier than ordinary weapons! The double spears that were originally enough to block the front, back and left and right sides had to consume one more point of strength after resisting the long spears on the opponent. By the time he stopped the long spears on his side, his power had been exhausted and he had no way to deal with the sneak attack behind him.
This is just a matter of lightning, and Yang Ji's death is decided!
It has been decided, but the person has not died yet, so there is no need to die.
Because there is Xiong Kui.
Xiong Kui's mind may not be enough to become a commander in the side, but his agility and adaptability on the battlefield are incompatible with his burly and strong body. As soon as he retreated into the formation, Xiong Kui discovered that Yang Ji had a problem and was slow to move, but Yang Ji's chain of armor was stained with blood. From a distance, he couldn't tell where he was seriously injured. Xiong Kui simply didn't look at it, and did not rest, and he actually rushed to the front line with a big hammer!
Xiong Kui's world is very simple. You provoke for no reason and contempt with me in the hotel. That is the problem between the two. Back on the battlefield, Yang Ji is a man, and I, Xiong Kui, cannot be saved by death!
Some people say that this is clear about public and private affairs, some people say that this is generous, and some worlds are so simple, just like this. Although they are not valued, some places are enough to make most people feel ashamed.
The strong wind suddenly rose, and the heavily armored knight behind Yang Ji felt sand and stones flying around him, and wind was coming from behind his head! Before he could think of how to deal with it, he felt that his body was short and the war horse kept wailing. The huge iron hammer swept the horse's legs and then hit the iron armored knight hard...
The blood collapsed, but Xiong Kui had no time to take care of him. Just as he joined the battle, several heavy armored Wei cavalry beside him were already fighting with long swords! The Shu army was all infantry, and they were left and right in front of ordinary cavalrymen. There was no combat power in front of heavy armored iron cavalry. Only a few people with high martial arts and agility could barely deal with one or two moves.
"Drink ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The Wei cavalry were not afraid and still rushed straight! The legs of the war horses smashed by the hammer were broken, and three or four war horses were neighing. The horse knights leaned forward with the war horses, and the long spear in their hands did not forget to poke Xiong Kui!
Xiong Kui roared and swung the hammer hard. However, the hammer was only rotated and was pressed by a huge force. Not only could it not rotate, but it also made Xiong Kui lean forward and was pulled towards the Wei cavalry by the center of gravity... The war horse hit Xiong Kui hard, and Xiong Kui's sternum collapsed and burst, and the spear poked/entered into his burly body. The blood column squirted out wildly, and the vigorous and strong life quickly withered...
"Xiong Kui!!!" A voice of grief and anger sounded. Yang Ji, who had just escaped from death, turned around and saw Xiong Kui being killed by Wei Qi for rescue!
Whether it is Shu or Wu, they are brothers who fight side by side... Before going to the war, Wu Yanyu gave the two generals earnestly, but Yang Ji did not take it seriously, but Xiong Kui had it. Until this moment, Xiong Kui finally fulfilled his mission, did not let Lord Wu Yan down, and passed away with a smile...
The two swords were bloodthirsty as crazy as the cow's horns were angrily rising into the sky! Yang Ji's heart dripped blood, tears in his eyes, and blood blades swung rapidly! The blood light streaked across the throat of Wei Kai, and the long spear pierced into the angry body. With one sword, Yang Ji fought with his life and fought with his life! The Wei Kai surrounded him, but he could not stop the bloodthirsty mad bull!
The war horse accelerated to its limit in an instant. The double ge wiped the body and crossed out two pieces of flesh, leaving a deep blood groove. But at the same time, the two swords also stabbed into the bodies of the two Wei cavalry. The long spear kept poking, and Yang Ji had no time to pull out the blood blade, so he could only stop. The war horse fell to the ground in dejection, and Yang Ji rolled on the ground and fought with one sword!
The long spear pierced like a thigh, Yang Ji dragged his way to fight, like a wolf or a tiger, and roared repeatedly! This barbarian general was inspired by his original animal nature, and he could only kill in his eyes, regardless of life and death, and pain!
As a barbarian general, Yang Ji was willing to believe that Xiong Kui was a hero and a good marching man. He could even change his original intention and be friends and brothers. But the only thing he couldn't accept was that he was a powerful man who was actually rescued by Xiong Kui, so Xiong Kui died tragically in front of him...
How to repay this kindness? How to repay this meaning? Yang Ji didn’t understand, so he could only sacrifice his life!
Even though he was full of energy and had all his swords and horses, Yang Ji thought that he would not last long in the siege of this heavy cavalry, let alone now that he was seriously injured and was dragging his footwork?
The evil wind sounds like a little devil who repays the death, and his blood is thrown away, and he will never let down others in this life...
The screams came one after another, and the people who were killed around the heavy cavalry were suddenly killed, and they all retreated one after another! But when they saw a general on the left, they were like a dragon and a gun like a flying rainbow. The long spear in the Wei cavalry was like a autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves, and it suddenly shot and killed countless Wei cavalry! The extremely heavy long spear was as weak as an ordinary wooden stick in front of the Shu general. Who would have the power in Shu?
"General Yang, don't panic, Wenhu is here!" The sound is like a huge thunder, and the sword is like lightning. The Shu Han general Wenhu rode his horse and raised his sword to break into the formation from the other side. The big sword slashed wildly like a tiger from the mountain. The Wei cavalry was about to form a formation to attack Wenyang, but Wenhu rushed in the rear and finally began to retreat!
Yang Ji's eyes were confused, as if in a dream. At this time, he realized that just as he was fighting hard, the surrounding Wei army had already changed. A large number of Shu troops rushed in, and the Wei army responded to the battle one after another. They were just hundreds of heavy cavalry of Wei army...
