Destiny Only Han

Chapter 293 Liu Ying: The Battle of the Five Armies

Among the Han army, the sound of war drums shook the heavens and the earth.

"No clothes? I'm in the same robe as my son. The king Yu Xingshi repaired my spear. I have the same hatred as my son..."

Qin Yin's voice sounded.

Qin Feng is no longer there, but Han Feng is bound to last forever!

Standing on the cloud chariot, Zhou Bo pointed his long sword obliquely, and flags rose one after another.

In an instant, following the rhythm of the war drums, each infantry phalanx slowly stepped forward, and the infantry was clean-up, as silent as a forest.

And the Chu army, which had been in battle for a long time, was eager to fight, but it was not chaotic at all. Under the command of their respective generals, they walked in an orderly manner, without rushing or slowing down.

"The sky is covered by the sun, the enemy is like a cloud, and the arrows are falling, and the soldiers are fighting for the first..."

The voice of Chu was loud and clear, and rows of soldiers of the Chu army with strong crossbows and bows came out, and the arrows with cold light were pointed diagonally at the sky.

"Does it mean that you have no clothes? You share the same luster with Zi. Wang Yu Xingshi, repair my spear and halberd. Work together with Zi..."

Among the Han army, the singing voice, not to be outdone, became louder and louder, and that voice was full of endless anger.

Qin and Chu are married for generations, but they also have blood feuds for generations.

First, King Huai of Chu was deceived by the Qin State, and he was detained and never returned. Later, hundreds of thousands of Chu people died in the battle of Yan and Ying, and the tombs of the ancestral temples of the ancestors of the Chu State were destroyed. All the Chu people became subjugated slaves.

Although Chu has three households, Qin must be killed by Chu!
These eight short characters are actually full of the humiliation and blood and tears of the Chu people.

As a result, this humiliation turned into a soaring flame in Xianyang City.

After that day, everyone in Guanzhong was completely untouched, and the blood feud was irreconcilable.

"Why don't you say you have no clothes? I have the same clothes as my son. Wang Yuxing's division, repair my armor and soldiers. Walk with my son!"

Today's battle is not a battle between Chu and Han, but a battle between Qin and Chu that has lasted for hundreds of years!
Fight to the death!

bloody battle!
With you without me!

If you don't go back, you don't go back!
"Fire arrows!"

When the Chu army's crossbowmen lined up, among the Han army equipped with more sophisticated crossbows, there was the sound of dense bowstrings piercing the air.

What followed were arrows that covered the sky and covered the sun, flying like locusts.

When the rain of arrows pierced through the sky, the drums of the Han army were loud, and the infantry phalanx immediately began to accelerate forward.

Aggression like fire!

Zhou Bo's ability to command battles is far inferior to Han Xin's and Cao Shen's, so he didn't come up with too complicated battles, such as long soldiers in front, short soldiers in the back, and arranging bows and crossbows in the formation. Law.

This battle is simple and brutal.

The crossbowmen disrupted the enemy's formation, and the infantry phalanx rushed forward side by side.

After the baptism of war in the past few years, there are no recruits in the Han army following Liu Bang at this moment.

More importantly, as Guanzhong is no longer affected by war, and with more advanced farm tools and double crop rotations of wheat, beans, and wheat and rice, the per capita grain consumption has doubled.

With no worries about eating and drinking, the Han army was equal to or crushed by the Chu army in terms of training level and physical fitness.

In hand-to-hand combat, the Chu army can no longer get half a penny as it used to!
Coupled with the armor wearing rate of the Han army, according to Liu Ying's request, it has reached 120%!
In this way, the melee combat is not only completely worthwhile, but also has the upper hand!

The reason why it is 120% is because some heavy infantry who resist the line need to wear two layers of armor, and then carry two-handed weapons such as Zhanmajian to open Wushuang in the crowd...

So in the line of sight of the approaching Chu army, the first thing they saw were soldiers of the Han army who were nearly ten feet tall and like iron mountains.

Big guy, but also very agile.

These are the brave men who were carefully selected in the army and reloaded into battle.

They wear heavy armor combined with plate and chain armor, iron gloves, iron boots, etc., except for a row of round holes for observation on the helmet's visor, they have no flaws!

As a result, the swords in both hands circled up and down, and countless soldiers of the Chu army who were caught off guard suddenly became disorganized and shattered all over the ground.

"Go back, go back!"

Among the Chu army, whoever took the lead first, all the Chu troops who were facing these heavily armed soldiers retreated one after another.

Humans are always afraid of the unknown.

Especially in this kind of life-and-death battlefield, there is no shame in avoiding the front for the time being.

The Chu army wanted to retreat, but these daredevils who drank and drank every day were not willing to let them go.

If they were still apprehensive when they rushed out, then they became fearless when they saw that the weapons in the hands of Chu soldiers could not harm them!
In their eyes, the soldiers of the Chu army who retreated in embarrassment were no longer a person, they were wine, meat, money, and women!

kill!

When one person strives to be the first, all people follow suit.

The soldiers of the Han army with long spears and halberds followed closely behind. It is also very good to drink soup without eating meat.

Unlike the gang of dare-to-die soldiers who are greedy for pleasure and live a day-to-day life, these soldiers from Guanzhong believe in farming and warfare.

Farming is to obtain food, feed the family and make oneself stronger.

And fighting is a way to become stronger and find ways to get more land.

Therefore, they cherish every enemy's head very much!

All of a sudden, the soldiers of the Chu Army, whose aura was inexplicably overwhelmed, began to retreat steadily.

Xiang Yu, who rode his horse and stood on the hill, suddenly had his nose crooked.

Is this still his invincible Chu army?

So Xiang Yu took a spear and prepared to drive Wushuang himself.

But at this moment, on the plain to the east of Yangxia, the melodious and desolate horn sounded suddenly.

Woo!woo woo woo...

Immediately afterwards, countless horns sounded one after another.

On the horizon, the battle flags of the Han army fluttering in the wind slowly appeared.

Below the battle flag, there are row after row of cavalry in iron armor reflecting the scorching sun.

Lang Zhong cavalry!

After being forced to surrender to Pengcheng, Guan Ying did not go north to join Liu Ying, but followed the previous plan, judged the situation by himself, and went to Yangxia to join Liu Bang's battle sequence.

Yesterday, he led his troops to Yixiang (now Luyi County, Henan Province) located east of Guling.

Now we hear about the battle between Chu and Han, so the whole army is on top.

Under the warm autumn sun, Xiang Yu suddenly felt like falling into an ice cave.

Although he didn't know which army the cavalry of the Han army in the distance was and who was the commander, but as an outstanding cavalry general, he only needed to take a look at it from a distance to know that this cavalry was definitely among the elite. The elite!
"Will it be him?"

At this moment, a tall, thin figure with a bitter face and a halberd in his hand appeared in Xiang Yu's mind.

Hold the halberd, Han Xin!

After the envoys who went to discuss the peace disappeared like mud cows into the sea, Xiang Yu knew that the Qi army must go south, and there was destined to be a battle between him and Han Xin.

But what I didn't expect was that it came so quickly!

Xiang Yu glanced at the retreating Chu army, and gave up his plan to lead the main cavalry to support them.

The reason is very simple, once he falls into a stalemate with the Han army, the cavalry of the Han army in the distance will definitely go straight to his rear.

Attacking back and forth, even if the gods came, it would be hard to save them!
So Xiang Yu turned his horse's head and led the main cavalry to move to the right to prevent being attacked by the Han army's flank.

As for the retreating infantry, order the crossbowmen to hold the formation and retreat.

Before he could deal with the Han cavalry, the two sides faced off temporarily to avoid fighting.

When Xiang Yu mistook Guan Ying for Han Xin, Liu Bang, who was holding a binoculars on the head of Yangxia City, could clearly see the appearance of the visitor.

Although he and Guan Ying have not seen each other for a long time, Guan Ying is not a child, and his physical characteristics will not change much.

"It's good to come!"

Liu Bang punched on the battlements, and immediately his face was full of pain.

Without him, it hurts.

"Why, I can't control this hand..."

With ten fingers connected to each other, a thin layer of mist faintly flashed in Liu Bang's eyes.

Standing on a high place, he has a god-like perspective, but he has been paying attention to the battle in the distance.

Especially when Xiang Yu was going to fight in person, his heart almost jumped out of his throat.

But what made him helpless was that in his army, except for Fan Kuai's daring soldiers, no army could withstand the impact of the Chu army's cavalry.

And even the daredevils in heavy armor could not last long under the repeated impact of the Chu cavalry.

After all, the requirements of the Central Plains for elite cavalry are different from those of Western miscellaneous fish cavalry, and are more closely related to noble knight masters who are trained off-the-job and proficient in various killing techniques.

When the heavy infantry forms an formation to limit the cavalry's charge, it is actually very common for the cavalry to dismount and fight on foot.

Well, for example, Hou Jin’s Eight Banners cavalry, compared to riding and shooting, they are better at riding to the battlefield, then dismounting and hiding behind the shield chariot, fighting with hard bows and muskets...

Now that the Langzhong cavalry has arrived, with these already well-trained and equipped with elites such as stirrups to enhance combat effectiveness and make them even more powerful, Liu Bang has become full of confidence.

It is not yet time for a full-scale counter-offensive, but there is still no problem for the two armies to confront each other.

It's just that Liu Bang's thoughts quickly disappeared.

To the north of Yangxia City, along the direction of the chasm, smoke and dust slowly rose up, as if huge khaki-colored dragons were galloping close to the ground.

Liu Bang had some vague guesses in his heart, but in the mood of worrying about gains and losses, he walked quickly up the archery tower and opened his binoculars to look into the distance.

After a while, the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"finally come!"

In the dust, the battle flags of the Qi, Yan, and Zhao armies fluttered in the wind.

But what made Liu Bang most happy was a thin figure with a mask standing on a chariot under a huge banner.

Liu Ying.

Deputy Commander of the Allied Forces to Destroy Chu!

"Should we advance to the city, or directly follow Xiang Yu!"

On the battlefield, Liu Yingwen asked Han Xin for his advice in a tone of voice.

Han Xin glanced at Liu Ying, and when his eyes glanced over Zhang Liang inadvertently, there was a touch of jealousy and grievance.

Without him, Liu Ying only prepared two masks, one big and one small, of which he wore the small one himself, and gave Zhang Liang the big one.

Well, if Zhang Liang is not around, the big mask must belong to Han Xin...

So Han Xin, who was half full from eating soil, said in the same voice: "Advanced into the city, we will fight together every day!"
