Huang Fang didn't take Zhang Chong seriously, and Zhang Chong didn't take Huang Fang seriously either.
The two met in front of the two armies. After Huang Fang reported his name, Zhang Chong laughed loudly, pointed at Huang Fang with the long knife in his hand, and said proudly: "Rat! Go back quickly, and let someone with some reputation come out to fight."
I!"
When Huang Fang heard this, he flew into a rage, roared, and rushed towards Zhang Chong. When he got close, Huang Fang stabbed Zhang Chong in the chest with his spear.
Zhang Chong snorted coldly and moved the knife in his hand outward.
With a crisp clang sound, Huang Fang felt his hands go numb, and the spear in his hand flew away. Before he could recover, Zhang Chong cut off Huang Fang's head with one knife after another.
This scene made everyone in the Han army on the earth wall dumbfounded for a moment, especially the soldiers in the Xiajiang tribe. They all stood there with their eyes wide open and their mouths wide open.
Huang Fang was also considered a fierce general in the Xiajiang tribe. Whenever there was a battle, he always rushed to the front and took the lead. Unexpectedly, in front of Zhang Chong, he was killed by Zhang Chong without even taking a turn.
On the other hand, when the Mang army went to battle, Zhang Chong was victorious. The soldiers felt as if they had been beaten to death, and the drum beat was as loud as popping beans.
There was silence for a moment on the earthen wall. Suddenly, another green forest general came out. His eyes were red and his face was so gloomy that he was almost dripping with water. He saluted Wang Chang and said with a choked voice: "General, please give the order. General Yun Mo will go out to fight."
!”
The general who took the initiative was named Huang Zhuo. He was Huang Fang's eldest brother. Like Huang Fang, he was also a fierce general who charged into formations.
Wang Chang looked at Huang Zhuo and remained silent. Huang Zhuo's strength was higher than that of Huang Fang, but not much higher than Huang Fang. However, Zhang Chong killed Huang Fang in one round. In Wang Chang's opinion,
, Huang Zhuo went to war, but also to die.
Seeing that Wang Chang had not spoken for a long time, Huang Zhuo meng knelt down on one knee and intervened: "General, please allow me to go out to fight!"
"this……"
Huang Fang has already died. If another Huang Zhuo is lost, the blow to our own morale will be huge.
Wang Chang's eyes swept over Huang Zhuo and looked at the other generals on his side. The faces of the generals in the Xiajiang tribe were not very good-looking. They all lowered their heads, and no one was willing to take the initiative to ask for help.
They all knew how weak they were, and Huang Fang was no ordinary person, but he went out to fight and was killed before even reaching a rendezvous. Can he go up by himself?
Seeing that Xiajiangbe was cornered, Liu Xiu could no longer sit idly by.
He turned to look at the brothers on his side. He had just glanced at it, but before he could say anything, he heard a hula, and Ma Wu, Yao Qi, Gai Yan, Fu Jun, Zang Gong and others stepped forward in unison.
They came out of the queue, saluted Liu Xiu, and said in unison: "Please allow my lord to allow my subordinates to go to war!"
At this time, there was a sharp contrast between Liu Xiu's side and Wang Chang's side. On Wang Chang's side, Huang Zhuo was the only one who volunteered to fight. Moreover, because his brother was killed, he was filled with grief and he only wanted to avenge his brother.
On Liu Xiu's side, several people came out at once, vying to be the first to fight.
Liu Xiu looked at Huang Zhuo and said: "General Huang, this time our two armies are fighting together. The battle in front of the two armies cannot be taken care of by the brothers from the Xiajiang tribe. This time, we will fight."
, if we lose, it won’t be too late for General Huang to fight again, what does General Huang think?”
His words were both reasonable and reasonable, and also gave Huang Zhuo a chance to step down.
Wang Chang secretly nodded and glanced at Liu Xiu gratefully. Huang Zhuo was silent for a long time, then stepped in and said to Liu Xiu: "General, I will obey your order!" As he spoke, he stood up from the ground and returned to his column.
Liu Xiu looked around at the people around him, and finally his eyes fell on Gai Yan and asked: "Ju Qing, are you confident in this battle?"
Gai Yan's face lit up and he hurriedly intervened and said: "This subordinate will definitely fulfill his mission!"
Liu Xiu nodded and said, "Go ahead and be more careful!"
"Yes!" Gai Yan agreed, quickly got off the earth wall, mounted his horse, and rushed out of the earth wall with the Yanyue Sword in hand.
When Zhang Chong saw another general from the Han army coming out, he sneered. He waited until Gai Yan urged his horse to get close to him, and then he took a closer look.
Gai Yan has a tall figure, strong and stocky, and his skin is dark and shiny. When riding on the horse, he looks like half an iron tower.
Zhang Chong looked at him for a moment, raised his chin, and said proudly: "Everyone who comes has a name! Zhang's sword will kill an unknown person!"
Gai Yan almost got angry, and he slammed his feet into the horse's belly. The horse was in pain, and it neighed and rushed forward. At the same time, Gai Yan raised the Yanyue knife and slashed at Zhang Chong, shouting at the same time.
: "Gai Yan Gai Ju Qing!"
He came faster and struck faster with the knife. Zhang Chong was shocked and did not dare to be careless. He hurriedly raised the knife in his hand and raised his body to parry.
Bang!
The collision between knives and knives makes a harsh sound even from a long distance.
Zhang Chong dismounted his horse and was forced back three steps by Gai Yan's powerful and heavy sword. Zhang Chong felt that his hands and arms were sore and swollen, so numb that he was about to lose consciousness.
He took a breath and secretly thought that this person was so strong! He had just received Gai Yan's first blow when the latter's second blow came.
The blade swept forward and hit his neck. Zhang Chong was so frightened that he hurriedly leaned back and hit an iron bridge on his horse.
Whoosh!
The sharp wind hanging from the blade whizzed past the tip of Zhang Chong's nose.
When the Yanyue Sword swept across, Zhang Chong immediately straightened up, roared angrily, and struck back with his sword, slashing Gai Yan's lower back. Gai Yan calmly carried the Yanyue Sword back.
Bang!
Zhang Chong's backhand knife was slashing on the blade of the Yanyue knife, and a cloud of sparks exploded. The two horses were spinning in the field. The two people on the horse were fighting together with one knife for you and one for me.
Gai Yan was one of the fierce generals under Liu Xiu. He could fight Gai Yan for more than ten rounds without losing. Zhang Chong's strength should not be underestimated.
Liu Xiu, who was watching the battle on the earthen wall, squinted his eyes and secretly sweated for Gai Yan.
As the saying goes, win the first battle, win the battle, lose the first battle, lose the battle. Huang Fang was killed in the battle, which has caused our side to lose the opportunity. If Gai Yan still cannot defeat Zhang Chong, our own momentum will be suppressed by the reckless army.
Living.
Zhang Chong and Gai Yan fought for fifteen times, and six of them merged, and they couldn't hold on anymore. Gai Yan was too strong. At first, he was able to take Gai Yan's knife a few times, but soon, his arm was shaken.
Not listening to orders.
Next, he didn't dare to confront Gai Yan head-on. Every time Gai Yan's knife came at him, he didn't dare to block it and could only avoid it as much as possible. The situation gradually became passive.
After two more rounds of fighting, Zhang Chong secretly shook his head, feinted with his sword, turned his horse and ran towards his own camp.
Gai Yan was so excited that he was not willing to let him go, so he urged his horse to chase him.
Zhang Chong's defeat was not a real defeat, but a false defeat. He was lying on the horse, seemingly being chased by Gai Yan in a panic, but in fact, his hand quietly picked up the crossbow machine hanging on the side of the saddle.
Got up.
He deliberately slowed down his horse and listened carefully to the movement behind him. He felt that Gai Yan had already caught up to him and was only two or three steps away from him. If he got closer, the opponent's knife would be able to cut him.
Suddenly, Zhang Chong straightened his body on horseback, turned around, aimed at Gai Yan behind him, raised his crossbow and fired an arrow.
The distance between the two sides was too close, and the arrow came too suddenly. Not to mention that the soldiers of the two armies present did not expect it. Even Liu Xiu, Wang Chang and others who stood on the earth wall to watch the battle also did not expect it.
When Zhang Chong turned around and fired the arrow, Liu Xiu's heart suddenly rose to his throat. He leaned forward involuntarily, grabbing the edge of the earth wall with both hands, and even his fingertips dug into the earth.
Zhang Chong's cold arrow was really unexpected and impossible to guard against. However, he overlooked one point. Gai Yan was a veteran with many battles, even though he was not very old.
Gai Yan comes from the border army and has been dealing with barbarians all year round. The barbarians are best at these tricks. They can shoot you with an arrow or spit you out with a spray needle. Gai Yan's ability to prevent dirty tricks cannot be said to be the same under Liu Xiu's command.
One of the best, but at least it can be ranked in the top three.
Zhang Chong thought that his cold arrow was a sure shot, but the moment he pulled the trigger on the crossbow and suspended the sword, Gai Yan had already made a dodge action.
Hearing the sound of sand, the crossbow arrow fired from the crossbow flew close to the side of Gai Yan's helmet, and at the same time a series of sparks were rubbed out on the helmet.
This situation made Zhang Chong dumbfounded. He never imagined that the other party could dodge such a close crossbow arrow.
His mouth opened in an O shape unconsciously, and before he could recover, a light flashed in his eyes.
Gai Yan's knife slashed down diagonally, reflecting light and shadow in his eyes.
Click!
This knife penetrated Zhang Chong's left shoulder and came out under his right rib. With one strike, Zhang Chong's body was split diagonally into two pieces.
Plop! The upper half of Zhang Chong's body fell off the horse, while the lower half was still sitting on the saddle. The diagonal cut, nearly two feet long, was as smooth as a mirror.
Gayan Lema ran back, looked at the half body on the ground, spat, and coldly snorted: "Rat, if you want to hurt me with a hidden arrow, you still need some heat!"
While he was speaking, he raised his sword and cut off Zhang Chong's head. He raised it with the tip of the Yanyue Sword and shouted at the Mang army: "I am Gai Yangai, the great minister. Who dares to come out?"
Fight with me?"
When the two thousand troops brought by Zhang Chong saw that Zhang Chong was killed and Gai Yan was like a god descending from heaven, their faces changed with fright, and people fled towards their camp like a tide.
The main formation of the Mang Army.
Zhang Chong was killed, and Yan You and Chen Mao, who were watching the battle in the formation, could also see clearly. Yan You, who was sitting on the horse, leaned forward unconsciously, feeling pain in his heart like a knife.
He and Zhang Chong are not just superiors and subordinates. They have been dating, working together, fighting on the battlefield, and supporting each other for more than ten years. In private, their relationship is no different from that of biological brothers.
Seeing Zhang Chong's tragic death at this time, Yan You almost fell off his horse. Chen Mao, who was on the side with quick hands and quick eyes, hurriedly held his arm and said with concern: "Bo Shi!"
Yan You took a while to calm down. He held the reins of his horse tightly, pulled out the sword from his ribs with his other hand, and swung it forward vigorously.
Seeing this, Chen Mao turned his head and shouted: "Send the order, the whole army attacks!"
Woo, woo, woo——
In the camp, horns sounded and drums pounded one after another. The entire army moved forward in six large square formations.
Gai Yan, who was in front of the two armies, didn't want to retreat yet, so he immediately stood there with his sword drawn. When Liu Xiu saw this, he said urgently: "Ming Jin!"
With the sound of the gong clanging, Gai Yan, who was standing outside, could only turn his horse's head and lead the five hundred soldiers who went out to fight back into the earthen wall where the setting sun gathered.
After Gai Yan carried Zhang Chong's head onto the wall, Liu Xiu patted Gai Yan's arm with a smile on his face and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Ju. This battle was well fought!"
