The Han army, led by Liu Yan, Wang Kuang, Chen Mu and Wang Chang, rushed out of Jiyang and attacked the Mang army camp in a mighty manner.
The Han army came out in full force. With such a big movement, the Mang army should have received the news immediately.
In fact, the Mang army knew nothing about the Han army's attack, and this was also due to Yao Qi.
Yaoqi returned to Jiyang to report the news. This was the first task Liu Xiu gave him. The second task was to get rid of the reckless scouts around Jiyang.
With 40,000 fighting against 100,000, even if the Mang army's morale is turbulent due to the attack on Lanxiang, the battle will still be difficult to fight. If our side wants to win, we must catch the enemy unawares, attack them unprepared, and catch the Mang army by surprise.
If one's own army is discovered by the Mang army as soon as it leaves Jiyang and prepares the Mang army for a battle, it will be difficult to win the battle. Therefore, whether the Mang army's spies can be eliminated is another key point in this battle. .
Yao Qi did not disappoint Liu Xiu. The nails planted by the Mang army around Ji Yang were pulled out one by one by Yao Qi and his spies.
Only then, when 40,000 strong men were already approaching the camp of the Mang army, did the Mang army suddenly realize that an enemy force was coming.
But at this time, it was too late for the reckless army to prepare for the battle.
The Han army was divided into two groups. Liu Yan and Wang Kuang led more than 20,000 soldiers to attack the Zhenfu army camp. Wang Chang and Chen Mu led 20,000 soldiers to attack the Liangqiu Ci army camp.
They have a two-pronged approach.
Zhen Fu has 80,000 troops under his command. Even if they all turn into wooden men and stand still while the 20,000 Han troops attack them with all their strength, it will still take a long time to cut down these many people.
But the situation on Liang Qiuci's side was different. He only had 20,000 soldiers under his command, and now he was under fierce attack by 20,000 Han troops. The situation became precarious from the beginning.
At the critical moment, Liang Qiuci didn't care about his face anymore, and sent several generals under his command who were good at fighting, asking them to rush to the Zhenfu military camp and ask Zhenfu to send troops for assistance.
Liang Qiuci sent three generals. Before they even left the camp, they saw a large number of our own soldiers swarming from the opposite side. They threw off their armor one by one and shouted loudly.
Looking back, countless Han troops had already invaded from outside the camp.
The three reckless generals didn't have time to think too much. They rushed forward with their horses, shouting loudly as they rushed: "No retreat! No one is allowed to retreat! Anyone who dares to escape from the battle will be killed without mercy!"
The arrival of three generals at once did play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army to a large extent. The defeated troops stopped one after another, turned around, and followed the three generals of their own side to fight back.
Under the leadership of these three reckless generals, the reckless army was really held back by the incoming Han army. The soldiers of both sides collided with each other, raising their swords and spears at the same time, and tried their best to attack each other.
The soldiers in front were killed and fell to the ground, while the soldiers behind stepped on the bodies of the same people and continued to attack and kill. This point-to-point hand-to-hand combat made both the enemy and ourselves red-eyed.
The three reckless generals were also unambiguous. Each held a weapon and took the lead, chopping up the overcoming Han troops like chopping vegetables.
Just when these three reckless generals were killing people like crazy and no one could stop them, suddenly, a shout was heard from the Han army.
This shout was like a thunderbolt from the blue. Immediately afterwards, a horseman rushed out from the Han army.
Take a closer look at the general on the horse. He has a silver helmet on his head, silver armor on his body, a white robe on the inside, a white cloak on his back, and a square halberd with a painted stick in his hand.
Looking at the face, it is as white as jade, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, starry eyes, lips like red vermillion, handsome appearance, and impressive heroic spirit.
He shouted loudly on his horse, dragged his halberd with one hand, and headed straight for the three reckless generals.
One of the brave generals saw that the person who came was just a young man in his twenties, so he didn't take it seriously at all. He urged his horse to meet him. When he got close, he held a gun in both hands and stabbed him when he was distracted.
The young man moved the halberd in his hand outwards, and heard a clang. The reckless general felt that his hand was light, and the spear flew out sideways. Before the latter could react, the young man had already smashed the halberd down.
The painting pole square halberd was sharpened on both sides, and this halberd hit the head of the reckless general. A click was heard in the ear helix, and the powerful and heavy painting pole square halberd hit the reckless general from the top of his head to his crotch.
It split open and the body was divided into two halves.
Although the young man is holding the square halberd with a painting pole in one hand, it seems to have no weight. In fact, the halberd weighs one hundred and twenty kilograms. Ordinary people cannot even lift it, let alone use it.
Without even having a chance to meet him, this reckless general was split into two halves by the young man. All the surrounding reckless soldiers were shocked and their faces turned pale with fear.
When the other two reckless generals saw their companion being killed, they were so angry that they both shouted loudly, each armed with a weapon, and charged towards the young man.
Two long knives, one up and one down, slashed the young man's neck, waist and abdomen. The young man laughed and raised the square halberd in his hand forward.
Dang lang, ding lang!
With the sound of two harsh iron collisions, the two broadswords were blocked by the long halberds. When the horses crossed each other, the young man pushed the halberds in his hands back and shouted: "Get off!"
The square halberd with the painting stick drew a half-moon-shaped cold light in the air, which flashed past the waist of a reckless general. Looking at the reckless general again, his feet were still sitting on the horse, but the area above his waist
He fell off his horse.
Plop! After falling to the ground, the red and white intestines flowed all over the ground.
The remaining reckless general looked back and couldn't help but secretly grin, who is this person and why is he so awesome? Before he could figure it out, the young man had already urged his horse and chased him straight away.
The horse arrived, the people arrived, and the halberd also arrived. The square halberd with the painted pole drew a long line of lightning, and it went straight to the chest of the reckless general and stabbed it. It was so fast that the reckless general had no time to dodge.
He instinctively raised the sword and used the blade to block his chest to resist the opponent's painting pole Fangtian Halberd.
Bang!
The sharp edge of the square halberd stabbed firmly into the blade. At that moment, General Mang felt as if a huge force was sweeping over him, knocking his body away from the horse.
The war horse ran away with a clatter, and the reckless general flew upside down and fell to the ground with a muffled thud. He raised his head upwards and spat out blood with a whoosh sound.
He turned to look at his big sword again. The blade had been deformed by the stabbing and turned into a U shape. He struggled and wanted to stand up from the ground, but the young man had already rushed his horse to him, and knocked the halberd down. The halberd was facing forward.
Slap on the top of his head.
Snapped!
The reckless general's head was like a watermelon falling from a high altitude to the ground, red and white bursting out and splashing all over the ground.
It sounds slow, but in fact it is extremely fast. None of the three reckless generals could make it through a round in front of the young man. He killed them all with one halberd.
The Mang army, which had just gained some fighting spirit, saw this scene, and the little fighting spirit in their hearts flew back to annihilation in an instant. The people were so scared that they screamed and ran away with their heads in their hands. The Han army, on the other hand, was greatly boosted in morale and carried the Mang army's ass.
Chase.
Wang Chang and Chen Mu, who were sitting at the rear and commanding the overall situation, both saw this scene. Chen Mu raised the whip in his hand, pointed at the unstoppable young man in the camp, and asked: "Yan Qing, who is this? Why?
So brave?"
Chen Mu looked up and smiled and said, "This person is Jia Fu and Jia Junwen!" After a pause, he added: "Jia Jun is a man of God!"
Jia Fu was a scholar, and he studied Shangshu, the same as Liu Xiu, but his Shangshu studies were much better than Liu Xiu's. The comment Liu Xiu received from studying Shangshu was that he had a general understanding of the meaning. To put it bluntly, he was careless.
As for Jia Fu's talent and learning, even the teachers were full of praise for him, and they commented on him: Jia Fu (Jia Fu) is diligent in learning and is a tool for generals!
But his husband never imagined that his beloved disciple would later abandon literature and join the martial arts.
The uprising of the Green Forest Army had a great impact on Jia Fu. At first, he imitated the Green Forest Army and led a group of people to Yushan, where they became bandits and called themselves Green Forest.
Later, when the Xiajiang Army passed by Yushan, Jia Fu took hundreds of his men and naturally joined the Xiajiang Army.
Even though Jia Fu was an authentic scholar, he himself was an astonishing warrior. He was the leader of the three armies and was unrivaled. At least so far, Jia Fu had not met an opponent who could match him.
Jia Fu killed three reckless generals in the Mang camp, which greatly boosted the morale of the Han army. Wang Chang and Chen Mu also rushed into the Mang camp, led their Han troops, and stormed the center where Liang Qiuci was.
Military tent.
Liang Qiuci also wanted to ask Zhen Fu for help, but in the end, none of the three people he sent out ran away, and they were all folded under Jia Fu's painting pole, the Square Heavenly Halberd.
On the other side, Zhenfu's troops were not having an easy time. Even though Zhenfu had 80,000 troops under his command, due to the attack on Lanxiang and the destruction of food and grass, the soldiers felt unsure and their morale was low.
Liu Yan and Wang Kuang commanded the Han army and launched a fierce attack on Mang camp.
Regardless of whether Zhen Fu knows how to use troops, the camp of Mang camp is very well established.
The outer circle is Juma. The inside of Juma is an earth wall more than one meter high. On top of the earth wall, a wooden fence is added, which is three or four meters high from the ground. People can stand on it for defense.
Relying on the solid camp defense, the Mang army repelled the Han army's offensive wave after wave. Just when the Mang army thought that the Han army had nothing to do against them, Liu Xiu and his men arrived in time.
It can be said that Liu Xiu's arrival immediately reversed the situation for both parties.
It was not that the Qiaoqi Army could break through the solid defenses of the Mang camp, but Liu Xiu and others brought several trebuchets captured from Lanxiang.
The Mang camp's defenses could stop people, but they couldn't stop the falling rocks.
Under the attack of the trebuchet, several walls of Mang camp were knocked down.
Before the reckless army could make repairs, Liu Ji, one of the Han soldiers, roared, took the lead and charged forward with a broadsword in hand.
The collapsed wall was full of reckless soldiers. Liu Ji rushed to the wall and slashed it down with his sword. Hearing a series of crisp sounds, several reckless soldiers were chopped down.
The rest of the reckless soldiers stabbed Liu Ji with their spears. The latter turned aside and let several spears pass. Then, he hugged back with his arms, and all the spears were hugged by him. He shouted:
Pull back with all your strength.
With a crash, several reckless soldiers fell forward and fell from the earth wall.
Before they could get up, the surrounding Han troops swarmed forward, their spears fell, and the few reckless soldiers were stabbed into a hornet's nest.
Taking this opportunity, Liu Ji sprinted up the earth wall, swung his sword, and struck down all the reckless soldiers on the surrounding earth walls by cutting and pushing them.
Seeing that Liu Ji had broken through the gap, the soldiers of the Han army swarmed forward and climbed up the earth wall using their hands and feet.
People stood on the earth wall and looked down. They saw that the walls were densely packed with reckless soldiers. There were so many people that they couldn't tell their numbers.
