Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 618 Leniency
  Fu Jian was determined to fight to the death, but when he raised his troops, there were still many Qiang, Jin, Xianbei, and Huns soldiers who fled into the reeds and were instantly submerged in the endless reeds.

But soon, they paid a heavy price for it.

Wang Mengba did not leave any way for the Qin army to survive. The scouts and rangers set fire to the reeds and dead grass.

Fu Jian had already arranged flammable materials such as dry firewood and kerosene among the reeds. Within a few breaths, flames rose from the ground and spread like waves, forming a sea of ​​fire.

There were bursts of screams from the sea of ​​fire, and more than a hundred firemen rushed out, struggling and wailing in front of the two armies, and finally turned into black coal and fell.

Then, countless horse hooves trampled over the corpses, and no one even looked at them.

On horseback, Deng Qiang held a long spear and led more than [-] fine cavalry to take the lead in launching an attack on Liang Jun's formation.

There are always some people on the battlefield whose sense of smell is as sharp as that of wild beasts.

Liang Jun's formation was densely packed with spears like a forest and iron armor like a mountain, but Deng Qiang rushed directly to the fourth formation on the left wing.

That was Liu's army. Although the military appearance was relatively neat, its momentum was obviously weaker than other infantry formations. Seeing the Qin army's cavalry moving like crazy tigers, some people immediately dropped their spears, turned around and ran away. The raised spear swayed.

He was directly hit by the Qin army's cavalry. Deng Qiang waved his long spear, and the horse jumped up and stepped into the formation. The long spear flipped, pierced one man's chest, and raised it high.

The Liu clan was in chaos, trampling on each other, and also affecting the formations of the Wei clan and Pei clan next to them, causing chaos.

"After Ran Min leaves, Ah Qiang will be the best general in the world!" Fu Jian laughed loudly, dispelling all the gloom in his heart, and pointed his sword at the enemy's thickest army, "My sons, victory or defeat depends on this! "

The children of the Fu family were carefully trained by Fu Hong in Fangtou in their early years, and most of them were good at literature and martial arts.

The same is true for Fu Jian. He was very smart since he was a child. When he was eight or nine years old, he spoke and behaved like an adult. Therefore, he was highly valued by Fu Hong. Xianyang" prophecy.

However, the Liang Army's Central Army was obviously not comparable to the powerful troops. It was not affected by the chaos on the left wing, and its spears were steady without any shaking.

The rear formation fired a dense rain of arrows, hitting the Qin army's infantry formation.

Since they were elites, half of them had iron armor and shields, so the casualties were not huge.

On the left wing, Deng Qiang's more than [-] cavalry came out, looking forward to death, and turned to attack the Wei family's infantry formation. The Wei family was not much stronger than the Liu family. It's like entering a deserted place.

The foot formation of three thousand people was pinned to the ground and rubbed by more than eight hundred riders.

After defeating the Wei tribe, Deng Qiang swung his spear and attacked the Pei family. However, the Pei family was much smarter than the Liu and Wei families and had already moved closer to the Xue family.

Xue Qiang personally led his soldiers forward to meet the enemy. He took the lead and led his generals to stand at the front. His military morale was determined.

Pei's tribe followed with arrows like locusts, killing dozens of horsemen immediately.

Seeing that he was unable to defeat the enemy, Deng Qiang drove his troops away, and he and Fu Jian attacked the Liang army's center.

At this time, the two armies were in close combat, and their spears were densely and wildly stabbed.

Since ancient times, troops have been used in harmony, and the frontal battlefield cannot withstand anything else. Wang Meng is extremely confident, so he fights with the Qin army in an upright manner.

There were more than [-] people, and the [-] to [-] people who faced Fu Jian were not confident. Wang Meng would not be worthy of such a great reputation.

What's more, there are [-] to [-] black cloud elites among them. They rolled out from countless mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and they have never been afraid of any enemy.

In the battle of Puban, at least half of the elite troops of Di and Qin were lost, and they also lost one of ten thousand enemies.

Boom, boom, boom...

Liang Jun beat the war drum, and the powerful sound spread throughout the battlefield.

With the flag waving, the right wing formation waved its wings like a giant bird, sweeping across the vast bloody plain and sweeping toward the Qin army. In an instant, the Qin army was half surrounded.

In the fighting battle, Liang Jun's troops gradually expanded, like a giant snake stretching its body, and then twisting and tightening inch by inch.

The situation on the battlefield quickly changed. Deng Qiang's six hundred cavalrymen could not make much waves on this crowded battlefield.

He was also trapped in the siege of Liang Jun.

The fighting became more intense, and the battlefield was almost dyed blood red.

"Come in!" A black cloud general holding a big ax shouted to the robe next to him.

More than [-] soldiers took three difficult steps forward with large shields. Dozens of spearmen behind them followed suit, stabbing with their spears and killing several Qin soldiers.

The advantages and disadvantages of both sides gradually became clear.

Countless Liang troops are squeezing the Qin army's position, and the Qin army's space for movement is getting smaller and smaller.

It can be said that the Qin army was brave and tough. Many of them were wounded several times by spears, but they still gritted their teeth and fought hard until the blood was drained. However, war relied on the cooperation of the group rather than the courage of individuals.

Under Liang Jun's increasingly tight entanglement, Qin Jun gradually showed signs of fatigue.

From the moment Fu Jian was unable to penetrate the Liang Army's central army formation, there was not much suspense in this battle.

Even Deng Qiang gradually showed his fatigue after several rounds of charging, and there were less than [-] cavalry left around him.

The hope that Fu Jian had just surged was suppressed by the reality in front of him.

His ears were filled with screams, roars, and the sound of spears piercing armor and piercing flesh.

Looking up, even the sun in the sky was covered with a layer of blood mist, so that the surrounding area was covered with a thin layer of red mist.

"Huu——" The front hooves of the war horse softened under its crotch, and Fu Jian was lifted off. The war horse was hit by an arrow in its left chest and fell to the ground whining.

Fu Jian stepped forward, looked into the eyes of the war horse, and suddenly struck down with his sword, giving it a happy blow.

"Kill!" Fu Jian's eyes were covered with blood, he picked up a spear and charged towards the densest place of Liang's army.

Miracles didn't happen.

Liang Jun was as unshakable as a mountain, pressing heavier and heavier on Qin Jun's head.

It seems that there are Liang Jun's swords, spears and arrows in all directions, there is no way to avoid or hide.

"King of Heaven..." A person groaned from above his head.

Fu Jian looked up and found that it was General Wang Jian of the Military Guard. His body had been pierced by three spears and he was held up in the air with blood dripping down his face. When he shouted these two words, Wang Jian tilted his head and died immediately.

Next to him, Mao Song roared twice, rushed over with a long spear in hand, and killed two people in a row. However, before taking a few steps, his head was split open by a big ax struck from nowhere...

The threat of death completely enveloped Fu Jian.

"The King of Heaven... there is still a glimmer of hope to break out of the encirclement now, and he can make a comeback in the future!" Zhu Tong was admonishing at his side.

Fu Jian's eyes turned red, "Life? The soldiers are fighting bloody battles. How can I betray my heart?"

Looking around the battlefield, he suddenly found Quan Yi fleeing southward surrounded by more than a dozen people.

He did not let others down, but others failed him.

Fu Jian picked up his bow and arrow and aimed at Quan Yi. At a distance of twenty or thirty steps, Quan Yi had no chance of surviving, but the arrow in his hand never shot out. "That's it, that's all. It's a battle between king and minister. Life or death is up to you!"

Throwing the bow to the ground...
