Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 610 Challenge
  Li Yue's ambition has not even taken the first step, and he has not even completed the unification of China.

There are more big things to come later.

It's not easy to come here, and Li Yue really won't be reconciled if he doesn't create a prosperous empire.

Needless to say, people these days gather the aura of heaven and earth, a genuine life-extending medicine. After drinking a few doses of the decoction, Wang Meng's face became more rosy, he ate more, and he became more confident in speaking.

Now that Daliang has set foot in Liaodong, he can get as much ginseng as he wants.

However, the Liang Kingdom only accounts for a quarter of such a large Liaodong. There are deep mountains and old forests to the north, and Goguryeo to the southeast, so there is huge potential for expansion.

Wang Meng's condition improved, and Li Yue raised his troops and went straight to Puban.

Along the way, we saw camps all over the place, green crops growing gratifyingly, and soldiers wearing leather armor and hoeing in the fields with bows and knives astride.

The official road left in the middle was extremely busy, with scouts, rangers, civilians transporting supplies, etc. coming and going, making it look like a thriving place.

Just based on this weather, we knew that Di Qin was definitely no match.

Puban and Anyi are both located in a basin, where rivers from all directions converge, thus becoming a grain-producing land.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this land has always been an important town.

In the distance, Puban City looks like an evil beast looking down in all directions, but this evil beast is trapped in the middle by the continuous fortresses.

The fortresses are criss-crossed and dense like a spider web, dotted with forts, stretching to the distant horizon.

"Even if I don't come, you can still leave this city!" Li Yue marveled at the transformation of the terrain by manpower, and Puban City was completely trapped in it.

"If this is not the case, how can we force Fu Jian to continuously pour national power into it? Surround the city and attack its source. If Fu Jian doesn't come, he will be defeated. If he comes, he will be defeated!" Wang Meng waved his sleeves and smiled, which seemed to be pointing out the country.

"Oh? Jing Lue is so sure that Fu Jian will come out and fight to the death?"

"There is a severe drought in Guanzhong. Fu Jian has three options. One is to abandon Guanzhong, defend Qinliang, rely on Longshan, and continue to fight against Daliang. The other is to abandon Guanzhong and Liangzhou, go south to Hanzhong, and pass through Bashu , just like Liu Bei and Li Te back then, thirdly, they went out of seclusion and made a desperate move to fight to the death with His Majesty! Which one do you think Fu Jian will choose?" Wang Meng has already counted Fu Jian dead.

"Hahaha, with Fu Jian's character, he will never retreat and will definitely fight with me."

Even if Fu knew the current affairs and retreated to Liangzhou or Hanzhong, he would definitely die.

The throne of the Heavenly King originally came from a wrong path. With such a retreat, people's hearts are scattered. How to control the leading chiefs and soldiers?

The reason why the Fu clan was able to succeed back then was because all the forces under his command were united and returned to their homeland. Fu Jian was born due to his strength.

Now that they have abandoned their homeland and retreated to Hanzhong, Liangzhou, they are afraid that the Di people themselves will rebel.

Fu Jian would never be so stupid.

Boom, boom, boom...

At this moment, the sound of powerful war drums came from Puban City.

A group of cavalry slowly ran out from the south city. Hundreds of cavalry rushed to the camp and shouted: "General Deng Qiang of the Great Qin Army is here. Do Liang thieves dare to fight?"

Although there were hundreds of riders, the sound filled the sky and was full of momentum.

The cavalrymen on horseback, all with iron armor and long arms, are strong and powerful. At first glance, they are the elite among the elite of the Qin army.

Liang Jun's camp was all composed of suppressing troops and powerful troops, and they turned a blind eye to Deng Qiang's challenge.

The Qin army was furious, and the war drums became louder and louder. Hundreds of infantry carried swords and shields forward, tore off the Liang army's antlers, and fought with the Zhen army.

In less than a stick of incense, the town army occupying the terrain was suppressed.

However, both sides were a little distracted.

The Qin army just created momentum to attract the Liang army. The Zhen army hid in the camp and resisted calmly. They should be used to this kind of scene.

At this time, a cavalry general swooped from the south to the east, bent his bow and arrow on his horse, and shot down a banner in the east camp with one arrow. “Mighty! Mighty!”

The Qin troops above and below the city cheered like a tsunami.

The cavalry general put down his big bow, raised his long spear in one hand, and carried a buckler in the other. He ran very arrogantly close to the camp, as fast as lightning, blocking the incoming arrows or throwing them behind him.

"This person is Deng Qiang!" Wang Meng pointed at the heroic general.

The generals of this era seemed to like to charge and kill themselves, Ran Min did the same, Murong Ke did the same, and Fu Chang, the prince of Di Qin, was shot dead by the Jin army because he charged too hard.

Deng Qiang waved his round shield as he shouted, and then threw it fiercely towards Liang Jun's camp.

Qin Jun became even more excited, and the cheers became louder and louder.

"It was Deng Qiang who saw His Majesty's teeth, so he came to challenge and dampen the morale of our army." Wang Meng dismissed other Qin generals, but only respected Deng Qiang.

"I have heard of his name for a long time. When I saw him today, he was indeed extraordinary."

If other people were besieged like this, they would have collapsed long ago, but Deng Qiang still had the time to challenge, which shows his ability to run an army.

"The last general is willing to lead an army and capture Deng Qiang alive!" Zhang Hao has become the most powerful general in Daliang. Hearing Li Yue's praise of Deng Qiang, he was unconvinced and felt itchy.

"I will beat the drum for the general!" As soon as Li Yue arrived, Deng Qiang made a show of force, which was so disrespectful.

In front of the Black Cloud Army, how could the enemy be allowed to be so arrogant?

Fighting is all about momentum.

"Take the order!" Zhang Hao got on his horse and waved his spear. Immediately, hundreds of cavalry rushed in like sparrows and followed closely to kill the Qin army.

From a long distance away, he roared like thunder, "Where is Deng Qiang? Come and fight to the death!"

The Qin army who were fighting in the front line heard the roar and took the initiative to withdraw from the camp. The town army had a tacit understanding not to pursue them.

Li Yue felt depressed for a while. The Zhenjun's desire to attack and win were far inferior to those of the Black Cloud Army.

But this is normal. In addition to guarding, they also have to farm, which is extremely hard. Their equipment and training cannot keep up with the Black Cloud Army. They farm and eat by themselves...

To be able to maintain the current situation is because of Wang Meng's skillful command.

Zhang Hao led more than [-] cavalry to gallop out of the formation and kill the Qin army on the opposite side.

Deng Qiang also led more than [-] to [-] horsemen to mount the attack.

Two cavalrymen ran wildly in the same direction, and the cavalrymen strangled each other on their horses. Some people kept falling off their horses and being trampled to pieces.

The two leading men, with their spears flipping up and down, fought from east to north, and from north to south, it was extremely fierce.

But no one can do anything to anyone.

Everyone on and off the city was attracted by this fierce fighting. Qin Jun was cheering, and Liang Jun was also cheering.

Normally, when the cavalry is fighting and the horses are galloping, the winner can be determined by just one encounter, but the two of them can fight for such a long time. It is really a battle between dragons and tigers.

Except for the scene when I saw Ran Min fighting in battle with my own eyes, today was the most intense.

Li Yue had a higher opinion of Deng Qiang. Although Zhang Hao was the bravest of the three armies, he only knew how to fight, but Deng Qiang acted alone and fought against Wang Meng.

After fighting for more than half an hour, the two were still inseparable. Finally, their horses were exhausted and they had to retreat.

Zhang Hao changed his horse in front of the battle, and they were still going to fight. However, Deng Qiang had already led his army back to Puban, leaving Zhang Hao alone roaring under the city. Thousands of arrows were fired from the city. Zhang Hao was hit by two arrows in his shoulder and chest. No one was safe. He walked back to Liang Jun's Liang Jun camp in the same way.
