Seventy-ninth Han Xin vs Wang Ben 4

Zhou Bo, Luo Shen, Gao Qi, Zhao Ba, E Qianqiu and others were about to lead their troops to chase, but they did not expect that the Qin army would also make a loud sound. Several generals hurriedly retreated.

Luo Shen saw the fat meat flying away from his mouth, and he was reluctant to go over to see Wang Ben. Wang Ben has been supervising the battle in the back team and did not participate in the fight. Luo Shen shouted from a distance. "General, why don't you chase such a good opportunity?" Zhou Bo urged the horse to rush in front of Luo Shen and asked, "General, have you gone outside the city to ambush Han Xin? Why did you suddenly come here? Is Han Xin really killed?"

Wang Ben did not answer, but said sternly, "Hurry, return to the camp, otherwise it would be too late!" As he said that, he shook the reins of the horse and turned around and galloped away. Zhou Bo was confused and could not figure out the situation, but Luo Shen and others had already rushed out from his side. Zhou Bo had no choice but to chase after him, and kept wondering, he was still so anxious to go home after winning the battle!

With a quick horse and whipping, the victorious army came to the camp ten miles away. Suddenly, he heard the sound of killing in front of him. Smoke rolled in the direction of the camp and flames ran around. Zhou Bo shouted, "Someone robbed the camp!"

Wang Ben rode his horse in front and shouted loudly, "It's Han Xin, this person is indeed a talent! He knew that I had returned halfway, but he went to rob our army camp. He was so powerful!" Wang Ben raised his sword with a big sword, and the wind and rain suddenly became strong behind him. The sound of hooves rose and fell, and the sound of hooves was thunderous. The whole mountain seemed to be ravaged by the hooves.

Before the camp, the wind and clouds changed color and the battle clouds spread across the sky. In front of the main gate, hundreds of crossbow and arrow chariots were bombarding the Qin army camp. Outside the triple trenches, the bodies of Qin soldiers were stacked layer by layer, filling the ditches. At least hundreds of white-haired arrows were erected on every square meter of the open space outside the village gate. At first glance, they were white, like a barren reed marsh. The bloody smell rushed to the sky, and the heat contained in human blood condensed together, dispelling a lot of winter chills.

At the village gates on both sides, the Qin army was having a bloody close-knit fight with the Yan army. The corpses fell one after another like wheat bundles. The tragic level was enough to make people's scalp numb and their legs were woody! The Qin army's strength shocked everyone! The Yan army, which had the advantage, had to pay a few or even dozens of lives for every step forward. The Yan army soldiers rushed forward like a tide again and again, and had to retreat again and again. Every time they retreated, they would leave a layer of bloody corpse on the flat ground and trenches.

A large number of Yan army cavalry and infantrymen were setting up formations on the plains on the left side of the village. Just looking at the high-rise flags that fluttered in the wind, you knew that Han Xin was here in person and was urging the Yan army to attack the village from a distance.

From this point of view, it can be seen that Han Xin's strategy of attacking the camp was to use the main force to destroy the side gates of the two wings, with the archers as the auxiliary, to restrain the Qin cavalry at the main gate, so that they could not break through or contact the Qin army outside. If the side gate was captured and the Yan army entered the camp, Han Xin's main cavalry regiment would immediately dispatch, cross the stream and cross the trench, and rush into the main gate, becoming the last straw that crushed the Qin army.

Although the battle was fierce, Wang Ben still did not forget to praise Han Xin; "It's a pity that I can't use it for me!"

When the Yan cavalry regiment saw Qin reinforcements coming, people shouted and neighed in the formation, the formation swayed, and the sound of horns and drums burst out! Han Xin pointed to Wang Ben's flag and said, "Vehicle, amazing! Where is Li Shang?" A mighty cavalry general flashed beside Han Xin, who was Li Shiqi's younger brother Li Shang.

"The last one will be here!"

Han Xin sneered, "You and I each command one man and attack Wang Ben from left to right. The Qin army fought a tough battle all night and was very tired. We were surprised and could win in one fell swoop!"

"Get orders!"

The camps of both sides boiled at the same time, and the drums burst out like a sudden rain!

The Qin and Yan troops were like a pair of enemies who killed their fathers. After meeting, they were extremely jealous and shouted loudly at the same time, while increasing the speed of the charge to the limit. With the rhythm of the drums, they hedged like a tide.

Li Shang and Han Xin led soldiers to stir up a 10-meter-high loess on the road. In an instant, murderous aura was everywhere and the wind and clouds were surging.

When the two groups of soldiers rushed to a distance of more than 800 steps, the horn rose again, and the Yan army suddenly split into two, like a big roc spreading its wings. Each of them led more than 10,000 people from the wings to the outside, and from the two wings to fight each other. The sound of hooves was sonorous and the momentum was unparalleled.

When the Yan army, who was attacking the village, saw that Han Xin had joined the battle group and was extremely brave, one by one, one by one, was even more slashing and killing directly, and it was hard to be brave. They launched a desperate attack and killing at the gates on both sides. The Qin army in the village also responded at the same time. Ren Ao led the soldiers out of the gates and set up defenses on the edge of the trench between the second trench and the arrow tower. The shouts of killing were intensified, and the drum beats were pounding rapidly. Both sides hoped that their commander could take the initiative and advantage in the cavalry on the road.

The Yan army's cavalry changed from running wildly to rapid, and with the advantage of dividing the troops, they charged into battle. The cavalry's attack immediately began.

The sound of the trumpet was heard, and Zhou Bo led the cavalry all the way to greet Li Shang on the right wing. Two powerful soldiers collided with each other, and a flying mist of blood immediately splashed in the air. In an instant, people were on their backs and horses were overturned, and ghosts cried and howled.

Han Xin's original plan was that he and Li Shang would send surprise troops separately to cut off the Qin army from the flanks, so that their first leader could not take care of each other, and then strangle them in sections. However, the Qin army's reaction was beyond Han Xin's expectations. The agility and iron discipline of the regular army allowed the Qin army to change the attack formation while running with the changes of horns and drum beats. At the charge distance of four hundred steps, it suddenly split into two to meet him and Li Shang.

As soon as the two armies came into contact, the Qin army's horn rose again. The heavy infantry located in the rear of the cavalry suddenly drew two large arcs on both wings of the battlefield and bent directly to the periphery of the cavalry of Yan State! The shouts of cavalry confrontation shook the entire battlefield. The soldiers were like sailors fighting the waves on the sea, sinking into a vast ocean, with noisy sounds in their ears.

Under the command of the horn, Gao Qi and Zhao Ba led heavy infantry archers to cut into the periphery. The shield soldiers immediately formed a strong formation. The archers lined up, grasped arrows, and pulled the bowstrings. At that time, thousands of arrows in the infantry team shot through the sky, shooting towards Han Xin and Li Shang's cavalry rear team like locusts.

Although the Qin army and the Yan army were already tangled together, because the formation was too long and the rear army had not yet contacted, it happened to give Wang Ben this opportunity. Countless Yan cavalrymen, carrying a bloody rain, fell off the horse's back! They were thrown to death if they were not shot to death, and were also trampled into meat paste by comrades coming from behind.

At the same time, General Hou Chang, who was commanding the chariot soldiers at the main gate, threw all the remaining sixty stone generators into the battlefield. The huge rocks weighing dozens of kilograms into the Qin army's camp like raindrops. The houses collapsed immediately in the camp, and the wooden village was destroyed. One of the two arrow towers made a few cracks and collapsed like a blast, and then smashed dozens of Qin army Yan soldiers fighting under the arrow tower into meat cakes. These huge rocks were not something that could be resisted by armor and shields. The Qin army immediately suffered heavy casualties and retreated into the village.

The two cavalry were completely killed together, and the Qin army's archers could no longer shoot arrows. The Qin army was horned in succession. Gao Qi and Zhao Ba commanded the archers to swing the soles of their feet and roll up dust and sand to raid the "Hou Chang" army that was shooting outside the gate of the village. Hou Chang, in addition to hundreds of chariots, there were 5,000 infantrymen and several shield archers. Seeing this situation, he immediately ordered the shield archers to form a formation to block the bows and arrows from the rear. The Yan army's shield soldiers were ready to go, and immediately stacked into a shield formation that was as high as one meter, blocking the Qin army's bows and arrows outside the gate. The artillery fire in front not only did not weaken, but became more intense.

Gao Qi and Zhao Ba discussed that if the archery was not good, they could only rush forward desperately. "Kill, brothers, kill!" The archers shook the bow and arrow, pulled out their waist knife, and ran up wildly. Hou Chang saw that, "Damn there are really no one who is not afraid of death." He ordered all the chariots that were shooting at the craze turned around and aimed the muzzle at Gao Qi and Zhao Ba's army to bombard him.

Gao Qi and Zhao Ba's soldiers were running without any restraint on the ground. How could they withstand this super attack from three hundred steps away? They immediately lost more than half of the Qin army. There were countless pieces of Qin's army smashed into meat paste. Fortunately, it took a period of time for the chariots to launch archers. Within these two intervals, Gao Qi and Zhao Ba, who lost nearly 6,000 people, finally charged to the enemy's position.

This kind of crossbow chariot troops is a bit like a modern artillery unit. It is only suitable for long-range attacks and cannot fight in close combat. In the distance, they are grandsons and grandpas. When they get close, they are grandsons and grandpas. Zhao Ba and Gao Qi have died so many brothers, and they are red-eyed. After rushing into the position, they kill people like crazy. After the steel knife cut off one after another, knocking the Yan army's chariot soldiers to the fart and fleeing desperately. Hou Chang and his subordinates barely resisted it, and finally could not stop this evil wolf-style offensive, so they had to flee in a panic. Three or four thousand of the five thousand soldiers and horses were chopped up by the Qin army. Even hundreds of chariots were discarded. As a result, the pressure on the main gate suddenly decreased, and the Qin army guarding the main gate turned to the village gates on both sides to help.

Zhou Bo faced Li Shang, and the two were acquaintances, and they were both tough players on the battlefield.

Zhou Bo took down the bow and arrow, bent his bow and arrow, and shot arrows in succession. The three Yan troops immediately fell down, causing the people on the left side of the Yan army to stumble, causing the enemy cavalry to rush over from behind to lose their hooves and become in chaos. The cavalry team was in chaos, and the wave-like influence and spread to the entire team. The Yan army rushing in front did not form a formation and dispersed to both sides.

Li Shang was brave enough to split the waves and emerged from the chaotic Yan army. He rode a dark horse, invincible, rushed to Guan Ying's left with lightning, raised his right hand and said sternly, "Brother Zhou, go to die!" Zhou Bo died so easily. He didn't have time to throw away the bow and arrow with his right hand, so he led the horse to dodge the side, and threw the bow and arrow out and smashed it at Li Shang. With a big knife, Li Shang drove the bow and arrow far away. Zhou Bo took advantage of this short opportunity to take the iron halberd from the saddle bridge, drove the horse with one hand, rushed towards Li Shang, and laughed and said, "I dare not work with brothers Li Shang, it's better for someone Zhou to send you a ride!"

Li Shang sneered, grabbed a Qin soldier who was running, pulled it from the horse's back vigorously, and threw it at Zhou Bo. Zhou Bo was about to use an iron halberd to chop it, but he didn't think it was good. After all, he was his own person, so he should not do it too well. So he dropped the iron halberd and used the handle of the gun to thrust it. Unexpectedly, this would waste time and fall into Li Shang's trick.

Li Shang leaned over with a horse, leaned forward, and a big knife came out, stabbing Zhou Bo's head. Zhou Bo had just pulled the Qin soldiers to the ground, and it was too late to dodge. At a critical moment, he waved his iron halberd to cut off a passing Yan cavalry and jumped onto his horse's back. The original war horse was cut in half by Li Shang before he could even hum.

"Brother Li Shang is indeed amazing. I admire you. I don't know if you want to reunite with Brother Ling. Brother Ling is very useful in the King of Qin now. I wonder if Brother Li Shang is interested in abandoning the darkness and turning to the light." Zhou Bo could not forget to make fun of him when he turned around.

Li Shang said angrily, "My eldest brother has been harmed by the people of Qi. The King of Qin still wants to form an alliance with the people of Qi. This is what is called being highly valued. You treat me as an idiot!" The big sword danced out a fan-shaped white light and cut it across. Zhou Bo sneered twice and stopped talking. The sword skills were moving, and he was brave and brave to fight with Li Shang. The two fights were hard to distinguish, and the winner was hard to distinguish. The passing Qin soldiers and Yan soldiers were all affected by Chi Yu, and the two of them solved it. The two cavalry fought hard to distinguish, and the winner was hard to distinguish.

However, the cavalry hedged by Wang Ben and Han Xin quickly decided to win. The cavalry that followed Wang Ben was all Wang Ben's "main unit" and these were basically composed of the elite troops of the former Qin army's Hu Ben Imperial Guards. They were carefully selected and formed by General Wang Ben. Many of them were elite soldiers he dug out from his old subordinates who had followed him before. Therefore, the combat power was undoubtedly the most powerful among the Qin army, and it was even more powerful than Guan Ying's cavalry. There was one thing that was that the number of people was not large, only 10,000. However, Han Xin brought not many people this time, and his total strength was less than 100,000.

Han Xin's cavalry and Wang Ben's troops were defeated at once, and the army was defeated. The Yan people were beaten by the Qin cavalry and abandoned their armor, and even forgot what their parents' surname was. Wang Ben's subordinates not only had superb riding skills, but also could be called iron-blooded. This was a team of countless powerful generals. Han Xin's cavalry tried his best to cut a hole of about a foot on these people. These people were completely unaware of it, and gave their opponents three more swords. They were cruel, fast, and were not afraid of death.

How could the Yan army, which had an ordinary combat power, not suffer any losses in fighting against such troops? In less than half an hour, the entire cavalry was defeated like a mountain collapse and a crack in the ground.

There is another reason why Han Xin's army was defeated so miserably, that is, Han Xin was defeated in a single challenge with Wang Ben. Wang Ben admired Han Xin very much and wanted to subdue this general for the King of Qin. So from the start of the charge, he aimed at Han Xin's handsome flag. Han Xin also aimed at Wang Ben's handsome flag, but he did not appreciate Wang Ben, he wanted to see what kind of ability this No. 1 general in the Qin Dynasty had, so as to grab the title of No. 1 general in the world to his head.

In terms of martial arts, Han Xin is really not a master. Otherwise, why would rude generals such as Xiang Yu and Fan Kuai look down on him?

Han Xin originally knew that his kung fu was not very invincible. The reason why he dared to confront Wang Ben was because he felt that Wang Ben was old. Even if he had excellent sword skills, his strength would definitely not be enough. As the saying goes, "Is the fist afraid of being strong?" But Han Xin did not expect that Wang Ben, the old hero, was not inferior to that of the past, and was extremely strong. The two fought for fifteen or sixteen rounds. Han Xin's arms were sore and numb, dragging the big gun, and ran backwards.
