Deng Feng set up an ambush in Duxiang, and when the two armies were engaged in a fierce battle, he made a sneak attack on Liu Xiu's Chinese army. Deng Feng's army had 20,000 ambushes, and Liu Xiu's Chinese army also had 20,000 troops.
It seems that the strength of both sides is equal, but Deng Fengjun's side is full of elite soldiers who are good at fighting, while Liu Xiujun's side is just old and weak soldiers.
This seemingly evenly matched hand-to-hand battle was actually not an easy fight for Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu personally went into battle, holding the Red Sky Sword, and took the lead in rushing into the enemy army, slashing left and right. There were constant cracking sounds around him, some of which were the sound of weapons breaking, and some of which were the sounds of armor being chopped open.
Just as Liu Xiu was slashing the enemy troops around him, a violent roar suddenly came from the front, and a burly enemy general ran straight towards him as fast as flying.
This enemy general had no helmet or armor, his upper body was bare-chested, his arms were as thick as an ordinary person's calf, and his body had knotted muscles bulging out.
In his hand, he held a large Yanyue Sword. This Yanyue Sword was not only long, but also thick. Even the blade shaft was made of refined iron.
The enemy general took three steps into two steps and came to Liu Xiu's horse. He raised his arm and slashed hard with his sword, hitting Liu Xiu's head fiercely. When the blade fell, a dull buzzing sound was heard in the air.
.
Liu Xiu raised the Chixiao Sword in his hand and tried to parry upwards. However, seeing that the opponent was strong, Liu Xiu used a clever move. The sword he raised was not horizontal, but tilted outwards. As if, he could use the opponent's strength to
Remove some outwards.
But even so, the moment the swords collided, there was a loud clang, like thunder in the clear sky. Everyone around, whether it was the Han army or Deng Fengjun, all showed pain on their faces, covered their ears with their hands, and couldn't help but scream again and again.
Back up.
Liu Xiu felt a numbness from his palms to his shoulders. In an instant, his entire arm was numb. After the numbness passed, bursts of tingling sensation followed.
You must know that after Liu Xiu cut off his bones and marrow twice, his own strength was far beyond anyone's. When fighting the enemy, few people could surpass him in strength.
But the enemy general in front of him had a brute strength that was astonishing.
After a head-to-head fight, even the war horse under Liu Xiu's crotch could not withstand such strong pressure. It staggered sideways for several steps and almost fell to the ground.
Seeing that Liu Xiu was able to take the sword with all his strength, the enemy general was also startled. Then, he became furious, swung the Yanyue Sword again, and roared: "Try to take another strike from me!"
As he spoke, he struck Liu Xiu in the head with another knife.
This time Liu Xiu did not receive his heavy blow. Liu Xiu clamped his legs on the horse's belly, lifted the reins to the side, and the horse jumped out diagonally. Click! The man's powerful and heavy sword did not hit Liu Xiu, but it did
It hit the ground solidly.
With a crisp sound, he split a crack in the ground. Liu Xiu turned his horse's head, facing the enemy general, and shouted in a concentrated voice: "Everyone who comes here is named!"
The enemy general put his knife down, looked Liu Xiu up and down, and said proudly: "Zhang Qiu!"
Liu Xiu sneered and said, "Rat!"
Zhang Qiu had a compound surname, but the other party only gave his surname, but did not dare to give his name. He kept his head and tail hidden, so Liu Xiu cursed the other party casually.
The man became furious and shouted angrily: "My surname is Zhang and Qiu!"
"It's also a rat!" As he spoke, Liu Xiupiao dismounted from his horse, holding the Red Sky Sword, and walked towards the opponent without fear.
Zhang Qiu had never met an opponent since his debut. When had he ever been insulted like this? He was so angry that his hair and hair grew thick. He swung the large Yanyue Sword and rushed towards Liu Xiu.
He used all his strength and swung his sword across Liu Xiu's neck. Oh! His powerful and heavy sword slashed Liu Xiu to death.
Liu Xiu indeed disappeared in front of Zhang Chou. He used extremely fast movement to get to Zhang Chou's side and stabbed him in the ribs with his sword.
Zhang Qiu reacted quickly. Hearing that the evil wind beside him was not good, he used the tail of his sword to hit him backwards. With a clang, Liu Xiu's stabbing Chi Xiao Sword was deflected by the tail of the sword.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Qiu turned around and slashed Liu Xiu's shoulder with his sword. Liu Xiu kicked hard on the ground and swept backwards.
Whoa! The blade almost flashed past the armor plate on his chest.
Zhang hated Liu Xiu so much that he threw off his legs, stepped forward to catch up, and struck Liu Xiu's head with another knife. Liu Xiu didn't have time to waste time on him. He took a deep breath.
The horizontal sword moves upward to parry.
This time Liu Xiu didn't use any skill. He held the hilt of the sword tightly with one hand and supported the sword body with the other hand, and actually competed with the opponent.
Bang! The Yanyue Sword hit the body of the Red Sky Sword firmly, and the sound of the iron clashing could be clearly heard even from miles away.
Under the strong pressure, both of Liu Xiu's feet did not touch the ground for more than three inches. The sword with all his strength failed to do anything to the opponent. Zhang Qiu was anxious and angry. He swung the sword again and shouted: "I will smash you to death today."
No!"
As he spoke, he used all his strength and struck Liu Xiu's head with another knife.
But this time, Liu Xiu's figure suddenly turned around, from in front of Zhang Chou to behind him in an instant. The Red Sky Sword was extended forward, stabbing him in the back of the heart. Zhang Chou reacted very quickly and turned around immediately.
Hold the blade in front of yourself.
Bang! The edge of the Red Sky Sword pierced the blade, and a cloud of sparks exploded. Zhang Qiu snorted coldly, and was about to fight back, but suddenly, another crossbow arrow was shot from Liu Xiu's cuff.
Zhang Qiu never dreamed that even though he had blocked Liu Xiu's fatal blow, the opponent would actually have a back-up move. There was even a hidden weapon hidden in his cuffs.
When he realized that something was wrong, he tried to dodge again, but it was already too late. He heard a pop in his ear, and the crossbow arrow hit Zhang Chou's throat. Zhang Chou opened his mouth wide, leaned back, and took three big steps back.
He looked at Liu Xiu across from him, opening and closing his mouth as if he wanted to speak, but could not spit out a word. After a while, his body fell straight on his back.
No one had thought that Zhang Chou, who was so brave and skilled in battle and was considered the number one general under Deng Feng, would die in Liu Xiu's hands so quickly.
Liu Xiu was about to step forward and pull the crossbow arrow from Zhang Chou's neck. At this time, dozens of Deng Fengjun rushed over from the opposite side, and the spear heads were stabbed at Liu Xiu one after another. Liu Xiumi
He narrowed his eyes, raised the Chixiao Sword in his hand, and fought with the oncoming enemy.
When the two sides were fighting, a Han general rushed over on horseback. As he passed by, he beheaded more than a dozen Deng Fengjun soldiers with his long sword. Liu Xiu turned around and saw that the man who came was Ji Zun.
The latter was about to dismount and said: "Your Majesty is riding on the horse of a humble minister!"
Liu Xiu waved his hand to him to stop Ji Zun from dismounting. He looked back and saw that all his troops were following him. He pointed in the direction of Duxiang and said loudly: "Di Sun, you lead the army."
Charge into Duxiang and plant the banner of our Han army on the top of Duxiang city!"
As long as Deng Feng's army is defeated, the morale of Deng Feng's army will plummet and the morale of the army will be in chaos. Our own soldiers on the frontal battlefield will be much more relaxed.
Ji Zun immediately understood Liu Xiu's intention, immediately agreed, waved the knife in his hand forward, turned around and shouted loudly: "Brothers, follow me into Duxiang!" Ji Zun didn't stop for much, and took him with him.
The Han soldiers under his command rushed forward. Liu Xiu continued to fight against the surrounding enemy troops.
At this time, the battlefield was no longer a simple head-on confrontation, but had evolved into a melee.
The main forces of the two armies were competing head-on. Deng Feng arranged an ambush in Duxiang to sneak attack Liu Xiu's Chinese army, while Ji Zun led a group of Han troops to counterattack Duxiang.
Let's talk about Ji Zun, who led more than a thousand Han soldiers to fight his way through Deng Feng's army, rushed out, and headed straight for Duxiang.
Duxiang is a small town in Duyang County. The city defense is not perfect. There is only a circle of earthen walls two meters high and one meter wide around it.
How could such a city defense withstand the Han army? Just as Ji Zun and the Han army were about to rush to the earth wall, Duxiang city gate opened, and another group of men came out from inside. The leader was none other than
Deng Feng's younger brother, Deng Zhong.
The person responsible for commanding the sneak attack on Liu Xiuzhong's army this time was none other than Deng Zhong. Both Ji Zun and Deng Zhong knew each other. After meeting, there was no unnecessary nonsense. The two rushed towards each other and fought together.
Deng Feng's martial arts skills were so strong. Deng was eventually influenced by his elder brother. His martial arts skills were good, but they were just good. He might still be able to fight against ordinary generals, but he was far behind against Ji Zun.
Already.
The two men circled around and fought for less than five rounds. Ji Zun cut off Deng Zhong's helmet with a knife, almost cutting off half of his head. Deng Zhong broke out in a cold sweat and his scalp was numb. He didn't dare to fight anymore and dialed
The horse ran away.
How could Ji Zun let him go? Zhu You was still in Deng Feng's hands. If he could capture Deng Zhong, he could exchange Deng Zhong for Zhu You. Ji Zun urged his horse and then gave chase.
Deng Zhong, who was running in front, used his body as a barrier, secretly picked up the bow and arrow, twisted the bow and nocked the arrow. Ji Zun, who was chasing him behind, also had the same idea, picked up the bow and arrow, twisted the bow and nocked the arrow.
The two men, one behind the other, galloping on horseback, seemed to be thinking of each other, both wanting to shoot each other off their horses with bows and arrows.
The two sides ran more than a hundred feet away. Suddenly, Deng who was running in front turned around, aimed at Ji Zun behind him, and shot an arrow fiercely.
Almost at the same time, Ji Zun also raised his long bow, pointed it at Deng Zhong in front, and shot an arrow fiercely.
Pah, pah! The sound of the bow strings ejecting sounded at the same time. Whoosh, whoosh! The two arrows flew out at the same time. The arrows flying in opposite directions crossed in the air, and Ji Zun's arrow hit Deng Zhong's back.
Deng Zhong's arrow hit the head of the war horse under Ji Zun's crotch.
After the two men exchanged blows, Deng Zhong grunted in pain, lay down on his horse, slapped the horse's buttocks, and ran away.
Ji Zun's war horse fell forward, but fortunately Ji Zun reacted quickly enough and jumped out diagonally immediately, without being affected by the inertia of the horse's fall, and rushed to the ground.
After landing on the ground, Ji Zun rolled a few times, and then jumped up from the ground. He looked at Deng Zhong who was running away in front of him, shouted angrily, lowered his head and picked up the bow and arrow again. When he twisted the bow again to nock the arrow,
, Deng Zhong had already run a hundred paces away.
Ji Zun was unwilling to shoot an arrow. His arrow was still very accurate, but when it reached Deng Zhong, there was not much strength left. The arrow was nailed to the horse's buttocks, causing the painful horse to run further.
quick.
Looking at Deng Zhong walking away, Ji Zun sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said to himself: What a pity! If he could capture Deng Zhong and rescue Zhongxian, it would not be difficult!
Deng was finally defeated and fled. Ji Zun led the Han army under his command and captured Duxiang without much effort. Soon, banners of the Han army were erected on the top of Duxiang's city.
Seeing that all the banners of Deng Fengjun blocking the countryside were pulled out and replaced by the banners of the Han army, the morale of the Han army soldiers on the frontal battlefield was greatly boosted. On the other hand, the faces of Deng Fengjun soldiers on the opposite side changed drastically and their morale quickly dropped.
.
In this battle, their mission is to defend Duxiang. Now that Duxiang has been lost, is it necessary to continue fighting here?
