"This guy..."
"This reckless man..."
The cavalrymen under Xiang Kuan looked at each other in confusion.
Just now, they were really shocked by the terrifying behavior of the reckless man in front of them, so much so that even the horses under their crotches were kicking their hooves non-stop, as if they were also shocked by the man in front of them who was more than nine feet tall.
, the brave man, who was as strong as a bear, felt inexplicable fear.
To be honest, killing three cavalrymen in the blink of an eye is not unusual for a general with extraordinary strength. At least Xiang Juan can do it.
However, even Xiang Kuan, who has always been conceited, did not think he could do this, cutting three cavalrymen and three horses into two pieces at the same time with one sword.
The reckless man in front of him was even stronger than him.
"That reckless man has a common name."
Xiang Kuan pointed the long-handled sword in his hand at Chu Heng and asked in a deep voice.
Although his tone was still so rude, the fact that he was willing to put down his pride and ask about Chu Heng's life was enough to prove that the reckless man in front of him was completely different from the Wei soldiers he had just killed.
"Chu Heng!"
Chu Heng replied angrily.
At this time, a cavalry general glanced at the vehicle of King Zhao Run of Wei who was very close at hand. Ignoring Chu Heng's warning, he took the lead and rushed towards the four-horse chariot, shouting: "Behead with me."
The head of Wei King Zhao Run!"
Seeing this, Chu Heng's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he picked up the huge sword that was on the ground with one hand. He immediately grasped the handle of the sword tightly with both hands, spun around, and slashed hard at the cavalryman.
The cavalryman didn't see the oncoming sharp blade, so he subconsciously raised the spear in his hand to try to resist it.
And in the next breath, he saw that the sword that cut off the water easily cut through the neck of his war horse, and immediately, the sharp blade that still had its momentum cut him off with a bang.
The iron spear in his hand then slashed towards his waist armor.
"Shua——"
A rain of blood rained down on his head like a goddess scattering flowers, and half of the cavalryman's body actually flew into the air.
At this moment, he was still looking at his half body still sitting astride the horse with a look of disbelief on his face, watching it slowly fall down along with the group of headless horses, and fell into a pool of blood.
"Bang!"
Half of the body hit the ground.
Shocked by this scene, the cavalrymen who were about to accompany the hundred-man cavalryman to attack Wei King Zhao Run's carriage subconsciously tightened their reins and even took two steps back, lest they enter the attack range of the reckless man in front of them.
After all, the huge sword in the opponent's hand is more than ten feet long. Once it is swung, the range within a radius of one foot and five feet is the killing distance for him.
Killed with one blow, both men and horses were shattered!
Looking at the eight corpses of four people, four horses, and the bloody intestines on the ground, the cavalrymen swallowed secretly.
Compared with these frightened cavalry, Chu General Xiang Juan was obviously calmer. He stared solemnly at the knife in Chu Heng's hand that looked like a saber, and was secretly shocked.
He could see that the knife in front of him, which looked like a machete, probably contributed a lot to the reason why the reckless man named Chu Heng in front of him could display such inhuman and terrifying power.
It was a strange knife with a hilt of about four or five feet long and a blade of five or six feet. Taking the blade as long as five or six feet, it looked like cutting off a horse's head with one knife, or perhaps
It's probably not impossible to chop people and horses into pieces.
In addition, the blade of this prop is about the width of a palm, with a spine on one side and a blade on the other. From this look, you can tell that it is a sharp weapon that is good for thrusting and slashing.
Such a weapon with such huge destructive power was held in the hands of a man who was over nine feet tall and as strong as a bear. I really didn't want to imagine the astonishing destructive power it would cause.
Suddenly, another cavalryman shouted loudly: "There is only one man here, shoot him with a crossbow!"
Hearing this, the cavalry here suddenly woke up, took out their crossbows from their horses' backpacks, mounted the crossbow bolts, and aimed at Chu Heng not far away.
Seeing this, Yan Shun, the commander of the Huben Imperial Guard, exclaimed: "General Chu Heng, be careful!"
Before he could finish speaking, the cavalrymen pulled the triggers on Chu Heng.
However, at this moment, Chu Heng was seen banging the sword in his hand on the ground, and raising his arms in front of him, but there was a jingling sound, and the crossbow arrows were hitting the armor on Chu Heng's body.
Suddenly, they were bounced away one after another from all angles.
"How...is it possible..."
When Chu Heng lowered his arms without any damage, the cavalrymen under Xiang Kuan's command all looked as if they had seen a ghost in the daytime, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Only Xiang Juan looked at Chu Heng with a bit of surprise in his eyes: This guy was wearing such heavy and solid armor that even at such a distance, the crossbow bolts of his cavalry could not damage him.
To the other party at all?
What a joke!
You must know that these cavalry are his guards, and the crossbows they are equipped with are weapons forged by Korean craftsmen a year or two ago. They are by no means shoddy.
At the same time, Wei Fang's Yan Shun, Tong Xin and the nearby Huben guards were all dumbfounded, their eyes widening in disbelief.
At this time, Zhao Run's deputy general Zhai Huang touched his chin and guessed: "The armor on General Chu Heng...couldn't it be the armor of Yuma Chongqi?"
"It's somewhat similar, but it's not Yuma's armor." Zhao Run shook his head when he heard this and explained: "Ever since Yuma's armor became famous on the battlefield, the Smelting Bureau has been trying to create a real "Chongbu" army.
"Pawn", so that everyone in this infantry should wear thick armor and hold a halberd..."
"The general saw this in Tiance Mansion." Zhai Huang said with sudden realization: "That's the official document, what is it called..."Euphorbias"?"
"That's right." Zhao Run nodded and continued: "But I discovered that even if we specially select those soldiers who are tall and strong, many of them will have difficulty moving after wearing such thick armor.
The Praetorian Guards were easily defeated, so the matter was settled later."
"But the last general looked at General Chu Heng without any impact..." At this point, Zhai Huang suddenly realized and exclaimed in surprise: "General Chu Heng is really talented."
"Are you gifted?"
Zhao Run glanced at Chu Heng standing with a sword in the distance, and smiled slightly in his heart.
Among the ten clan guards around him, in terms of wit and reaction, Mu Qing is undoubtedly the best; in terms of city government and scheming, it is the always calm Zhou Pu; in terms of stability and reliability, Shen Yu is undoubtedly the best.
Wei Jiao, Lu Mu.
Wait wait wait.
Chu Heng was the only one who was stupid, slow to react, and knew almost nothing about the art of war. So, what merits did he have that allowed him to be appointed by the clan government at that time to be with Zhao Run and become one of his clan guards?
Where are the members?
Yes, that is force!
Among the ten clan guards around Zhao Run, Chu Heng was the most powerful.
Of course, this "most powerful" does not mean that Chu Heng is the equal of Zhao Run's ten clan guards. At least, Mu Qing has a way to deal with Chu Heng, so much so that Chu Heng was angry and cursed many times.
Mu Qing is a "thin skinned monkey who only knows how to run around" - here, Zhao Run has to be fair to Mu Qing. After all, with Chu Heng's strength, if he catches Mu Qing and holds him high,
After a heavy fall, considering Mu Qing's physique, he must be half-disabled.
Unless Mu Qing has a trick in his head, who would fight head-on with someone like Chu Heng?
Strong strength is Chu Heng's innate talent. However, due to his size and the fact that his brain is not very flexible, his reactions and speed are inevitably a bit slower than ordinary people, so much so that even Zhao
The main wife of the King of Wei, Mi Jiang, who was born as a witch, was able to subdue Chu Heng on her own.
But having said that, if Chu Heng is given a set of strong armor and a sharp long-handled weapon, then this reckless man will immediately become a monster that ordinary people cannot parry, just like now.
In fact, to be fair, Zhao Run believes that the most suitable weapon for Chu Heng should be a "hammer". For a strong general, the hammer is the most powerful and most invincible weapon: it doesn't matter whether you are a knife, a sword, a spear or a halberd.
A sledgehammer weighing hundreds of kilograms or even hundreds of kilograms will be smashed into the ground. The impact will tear your mouth apart and make your hands numb. Now another hammer will hit you to the ground, and you will get more air, but less air.
Unfortunately, the Smelting Bureau did not tailor-make a weapon like a "heavy hammer" for Chu Heng. The knife in Chu Heng's hand was in the form of a saber, but it was actually a new type of war saber (Mo Dao) that was improved on the old type of saber.
It was originally intended to be used against Korean cavalry.
But that year, Zhao Run led the Shangshui Army and the Yanling Army to attack Julu County, and lost contact with the Wei State for a time. Later, due to various reasons, they were not put into use, so that the Smelting Bureau built nearly a thousand
The new sword was forgotten in the armory of Yecheng. It was not until Zhao Run inspected Yecheng some time ago that he remembered that there was such a sharp weapon.
Therefore, in line with the idea of "it is better to use them instead of getting moldy in the armory just now", Zhao Run ordered people to select 500 horse-killing knives as weapons for his tiger guards to see if there were any that were not quick-sighted.
The guy tried to attack his own formation to test the power of this weapon.
No, I will use it today.
"Damn it, I was delayed for too much time by this reckless man."
Just as Zhao Run was sighing secretly, Xiang Kuan also woke up and realized that he was not in a daze. He immediately ordered: "Go around and attack Wei Wang Zhao Run's carriage. This reckless man will be handed over to Xiang."
certain!"
"yes!"
Hearing this, nearly 300 cavalrymen around Xiang Juan rode their horses to bypass the evil god Chu Heng, and charged towards the 500 Tiger Guards in front of Wei King Zhao Run's carriage.
Seeing this, Yan Shun, the commander of the Huben Imperial Guard, shouted loudly: "Hu Ben Imperial Guard, accept the challenge!"
In fact, even if he didn't shout, the five hundred Tiger Guards were already ready to fight. They were holding shields in one hand and a knife exactly like the horse-cutting knife in Chu Heng's hand, exposing the sharp tip of the knife.
Outside the shield, use it as a spear.
There was nothing that could be done about it. After all, the soldiers of the Huben Guards could not wave the sabers in their hands as lightly as Chu Heng did, not to mention that they were holding a shield in their left hand.
"Boom——"
There was a loud noise, and the thirty or so cavalry led by them took the lead in mounting the shields of the Huben guards. Although they used the momentum of the charge of the horses to knock the oncoming Huben guards to the point of collapse, at the same time, they were also knocked down.
The sword that was more than ten feet long in the latter's hand pierced his body.
Seeing this, Tong Xin, another commander of the Huben Guards, shouted loudly: "Abandon the shield and hold the sword with both hands!"
After shouting, he dropped the iron shield in his hand and held the saber with both hands tightly. Just like Chu Heng did just now, he circled around and slashed with all his strength. There was only a bang sound, and the spear in the hand of a cavalry was chopped off.
, and the remaining force of the sword was used to cut the cavalryman and horse in half, causing a pile of red and white things to splash all over Tong Xin's body.
"What?!"
The nearby cavalry were greatly shocked. Only then did they notice that all of the Wei troops in front of them were holding terrifying weapons that were as unique as that reckless man. They couldn't understand why these ordinary Wei soldiers were also holding weapons.
Possessing the terrifying power to make them 'break their men and horses into pieces'.
"kill!"
After throwing away the shields in their hands, the five hundred Tiger Guards instead attacked the two to three hundred cavalrymen. Only the flash of swords and shadows of swords and blood burst out. The Chu cavalrymen were chopped by the terrifying knives in the hands of the Wei soldiers.
He broke his weapon and watched himself being hacked to death by random knives.
In less than half a cup of tea, there were only sixty or seventy of the three hundred guards under Xiang Kuan's command, and the number was still decreasing rapidly.
On the other hand, the Tiger Guards, who relied on their superior weapons, had almost no casualties, with only twenty or thirty people in total.
“Wonderful! So wonderful!”
Zhai Huang, the general of Tiance Mansion, couldn't help stroking his hands and praising him.
He was from the Shang Shui Army, but after seeing the terrifying explosive power of these five hundred Tiger Guards today, he suddenly felt that the combat effectiveness of his Shang Shui Army might not be that strong - in fact, he even felt that
, on the contrary, these tiger guards are even better.
After listening to Zhai Huang's emotion, Zhao Run smiled slightly.
It is undeniable that the lethality of the Huben Imperial Guards equipped with the new type of sword is indeed greater than that of the old elites such as the Shangshui Army, Yanling Army, and Wei Wujun. But in fact, strictly speaking, the new type of sword is equipped with a sword.
The Wei soldiers with sabers can only be used as surprise soldiers at best. Try to let them stare at the enemy's arrows and charge into the battle? I'm sure they will die without leaving any residue.
The real backbone of the Wei army is still the regular heavy infantry holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other. They can deal with most emergencies. They have good performance against cavalry, crossbowmen and infantry.
and stable performance.
While Zhao Run was discussing with Zhai Huang about this new type of sword, Xiang Juan, who was in the distance, also noticed the tragic situation here, and couldn't help but open his eyes wide, showing a little shock again.
He was shocked that it was not just the reckless man in front of him who was equipped with such terrible weapons. In fact, the five hundred Wei soldiers in the distance were all holding the same weapons as the reckless man Chu Heng; and besides this shock,
, he was even more shocked that the three hundred guards under his command were killed by the Wei army in less than half a cup of tea, and only sixty or seventy of them were left.
What else is there to talk about "killing Wei King Zhao Run"?
This is simply a desperate situation where even self-protection is a problem!
Thinking of this, Xiang Mo took two steps with his legs crossed, trying to rush past Chu Heng and go to kill Wei Wang Zhao Run in person.
However, what greeted him was Chu Heng's vigorous blow.
"clang!"
There was a sound of metal clashing, accompanied by a burst of fire.
Immediately, Chu Heng was seen retreating continuously, and finally he managed to stop his retreat by hitting the ground with the sword in his hand. Xiang Juan was also forced to retreat two or three steps with his horse, and his body shook for a while.
He clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly, and he might be thrown off the horse.
"hateful!"
Xiang Juan's face finally changed color.
Perhaps this was the first time in his half-life that he had been forced to retreat like this. What made him even more ashamed was that he still had the strength of his horse, while the damn reckless man opposite him really relied on his own strength.
Xiang Kuan shouted unconvinced: "If Xiang hadn't come all the way to kill me, how could I have been forced to retreat by you?"
"..."
Chu Heng blinked, then nodded, and said angrily: "That's probably true. You are the most powerful person I have ever encountered..."
"He actually approved of this?"
Xiang Kuan opened his mouth, almost holding in his internal injuries.
Logically speaking, in this situation, the other party should refute and ridicule, right? Why did he actually agree with what he said?
How incompetent is this guy’s brain?!
However, at this moment, Chu Heng said in a deep voice: "Although you are very powerful, I still will not give in...I will not let you go!"
"..."
Xiang Kuan pursed her lips and stared at Chu Heng for a long time, then swung her knife to kill him again.
As the saying goes, it's enough to say nothing without speculation. There really isn't much to say to such a reckless man.
But what makes Xiang Kuan angry is that although the reckless man opposite him seems to have a hard-headed mind at first glance, his brute strength is really beyond words, coupled with the extraordinary lethality of the sword in his hand.
Xiang Juan fought with him for more than ten rounds, but he still couldn't get rid of him.
Seeing this, Xiang Juan had a thought in his mind: Why should I get entangled with this reckless man? Just bypass him and go straight to kill Wei Wang Zhao Run!
However, just when Xiang Juan took action, his expression suddenly became extremely different.
Because he suddenly realized that Xiang Juan, a dignified man, was actually wary of the reckless man opposite him, and even wanted to avoid his sharp edge.
"Are you kidding! I am Xiang Juan! Xiang Juan, the most powerful general in Chu!"
Thinking of this, Xiang Kuan gritted his teeth and swung the knife with all his strength, causing Chu Heng to take several steps back.
"This man's strength seems to have increased a lot all of a sudden..."
Chu Heng thought in surprise.
At this time, Xiang Kuan pointed at Chu Heng with the tip of the long-handled sword in his hand, and shouted sternly: "Chu Heng is a common man, Xiang will kill you first, and then kill the king of your country!"
Hearing that Xiang Kuan actually said that he wanted to kill Zhao Run, the king of Wei, Chu Heng was furious. He was not good at words and used the powerful chop in his hand to express his thoughts: delusion!
Seeing the two men fighting each other, the Wei soldiers near the formation were amazed.
During this period, Zhai Huang said in confusion: "It's strange, why didn't this prostitute commit suicide himself, but insisted on entangled with General Chu Heng? Couldn't he see that it would be difficult for him to defeat General Chu Heng even in a short while?"
"Maybe it's because of the pride in my heart...stupid pride." Zhao Run shook his head, and then said: "But having said that, even if Xiang Kuan committed suicide here, he would only die in the hands of the Huben guards...
… He thinks that with only three hundred cavalry, he can disrupt our army's main formation and force me to flee in panic. Humph, he really underestimates the soldiers of Wei Dynasty."
Zhai Huang nodded in agreement. He also felt that Xiang Juan used tens of thousands of Zhaoguan troops as bait to deceive the Luoyang Imperial Guards led by Wei Jiao. This was very admirable. However, after that, he led only three hundred
The cavalry tried to defeat the 500 Tiger Guards here, but this would be to underestimate the Wei army.
"Speaking of which, can General Chu Heng defeat Xiang Juan?" Zhai Huang asked with some concern.
Zhao Run frowned slightly when he heard this, shook his head and said: "The longer it takes, the less likely it is that Chu Heng will defeat Xiang Juan... hmm?"
Just as he said this, he suddenly saw a group of cavalry galloping in the distance. The cavalry commander at the head seemed to be the supervisor of the Jijiao Cavalry, Bosile.
"What is he going to do?"
Seeing Bosile in the distance riding his horse directly towards Chu General Xiang Kuan, Zhao Run's heart moved slightly: Could it be...
After a while, Zhao Run's guess came true. Bosile was seen galloping towards Xiang Juan, and the scimitar in his hand was swung towards the latter's neck.
Fortunately, Xiang Juan realized the threat behind him in time and leaned back suddenly, narrowly avoiding Bosile's blow. Otherwise, the head at this moment would have been chopped off by Bosile.
.
"whispering sound!"
Glancing contemptuously at Bosile, who failed in his sneak attack, Xiang Kuan sneered: "Do you think you can kill Xiang with such a despicable trick as sneak attack from behind?"
Bosile replied coldly: "If I can kill you and avenge my subordinates who have followed me for more than ten years, so what if I am despicable?"
"oh?"
Xiang Kuan looked Bosile up and down and asked casually: "Did one of your generals die in Xiang's hands?"
"Ah! When you attacked Changyi!" Bosile said with a gloomy look.
Hearing this, Xiang Kuan laughed loudly and said: "I, Xiang Kuan, have killed countless enemies in my life. Do you still expect Xiang to remember the faces of those people?"
"You guy!"
Bosile was furious when he heard this and immediately wanted to ride his horse forward.
Seeing this, Xiang Juan glanced at Chu Heng, who was watching eagerly from the side, and hummed: "It's okay even if I add you..."
Before he finished speaking, a loud shout came from the distance: "Xiang Kuan, my child, don't be so arrogant, today is the day you die!"
Everyone present turned around and saw that it was Wei Jiao, the commander of Luoyang Imperial Guard, who was leading a group of troops to support him. In addition to him, there were soldiers from Shangliang Marquis Zhao Anding, Zhou Ji and others.
Seeing this, the sixty or seventy surviving cavalrymen under Xiang Kuan's command were shocked. They quickly returned to Xiang Mo and persuaded: "General, please retreat quickly! With your bravery, you will definitely be able to break out of the siege! ... We are waiting for the original commander."
Cut off the queen for the general!"
"Brother has not sent reinforcements so far. It seems that there will be some major changes in the coalition forces... It will be difficult to defeat the Wei army in this battle."
Xiang Kuan looked at the direction of the coalition forces with a solemn expression.
Although he had noticed that he and others were once again surrounded by the Wei army, he did not panic at all. Hearing this, he said calmly: "Escape from the siege...do you think it sounds better than 'escape'?"
After saying that, he fixed his eyes on Wei Wang Zhao Run's car in the distance, and said lightly: "Among the words that Xiang recognized, there is no word "rout"..."
After saying that, he took a deep breath, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.
