Each of Liu Xiu's ministers who were good at fighting had their own characteristics.
Wu Han fought fiercely and fiercely, neither giving the enemy a way to survive, nor sometimes himself, but his actions could indeed greatly mobilize the fighting spirit of the entire army.
Gai Yan tends to be cautious in his battles, and he may not be able to defeat the enemy quickly if he fights steadily step by step. However, if the enemy wants to take advantage of his loopholes, it will be even harder than climbing to the sky.
Cen Peng's combat is very elegant, the kind of flowing and unpredictable elegance.
When Cen Peng confronts the enemy, he can often grasp the enemy's psychology and know every move of the enemy. However, his actions here are completely unexpected by the enemy.
For example, in the battle of Deng County this time, Cen Peng first made a surprise attack on Atou Mountain, and then on Liqiu. But when Qin Feng led his army to rescue, he incredibly set up an ambush halfway.
Qin Feng's army, who was running in front, was caught off guard by the sudden ambush. Many soldiers did not even raise their shields, and were killed on the spot by arrows flying from the woods.
Qin Feng was also in the front army. He dismounted hastily, and the guards around him held their shields high to protect him. Qin Feng looked around and couldn't see the enemy at all. He could only see arrows flying like raindrops.
.
He shouted loudly: "Don't mess up! Don't mess up! Form an array! Form a shield array to resist the enemy——"
The soldiers who could keep up with Qin Feng and ran in front were all elite soldiers with strong physical strength. Without him saying anything, the people immediately arranged their formation after a brief commotion. The outermost ones were shield soldiers, forming a shield formation to resist the ambush.
Arrow formation.
But as Qin Feng's army set up a shield formation, grass balls rolled out from the woods. These grass balls were as tall as a person, filled with kerosene, burning with raging fire, and rolled out of the woods.
, leaving behind straight lines of fire snakes wherever they passed.
These burning grass balls rolled down the gentle slopes on both sides of the road and hit the shield array of Qin Feng's army. For a while, people screamed.
Some soldiers were knocked down on the spot, and the fireball crushed them mercilessly. Some people used their shields to resist the fireball, but the distance was too close. The flames burned the shields, and also burned people's clothes, hair, and eyebrows.
The skin bulges with blisters at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Heart-rending screams came one after another. Qin Feng was dumbfounded by this situation and didn't know how to deal with it.
Just when Qin Feng's army was in chaos, the Han army hidden in the woods finally appeared. People rushed down the gentle slope and rushed down. Although there were only three thousand people, their offensive was like thunder.
Qin Feng's army, whose formation had been thrown into chaos by the fireballs, was completely unable to withstand it. The Han army soldiers attacked into the crowd of Qin Feng's army, like tigers entering a flock of sheep, and started frantically slashing and killing the surrounding Qin Feng's army.
Qin Feng was not spared here and was besieged by a large number of Han troops. Seeing the guards around him falling to the ground one after another and dying tragically, Qin Feng turned pale with fear and was covered in cold sweat.
At the critical moment, Qin Feng's number one general, Cai Hong, rushed over. At this time, Cai Hong looked miserable, with patches of black and white on his face, one of his eyebrows was burned off, and the armor on his body was burned black.
He took three steps in two steps, came to Qin Feng, and said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, leave quickly! I come to the back of the palace!" As he spoke, he looked at the guards around him and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and cover your Majesty's breakout!
"
After saying that, he held a Yanyue Sword and rushed towards the nearby Han army. He swung the sword and swept out. The two Han soldiers tried to block with their spears, but Cai Hong led them with spears and cut them into two pieces.
Cai Hong was indeed brave and good at fighting. He swung his Yanyue Sword around and killed the surrounding Han soldiers. He roared and helped Qin Feng to clear a bloody path.
The guards dared to waste time, protecting Qin Feng, and fled in a hurry.
The soldiers of the Han army refused to give up, and then pursued them. Cai Hong stopped, first glanced at the direction where Qin Feng and others were escaping, then roared, and rushed back towards the chasing Han army with a knife, fighting with them till they reached the end.
one place.
Cai Hong, holding the Yanyue Sword, used all his strength to kill the Han army, just like chopping vegetables. At this moment, a general with a silver helmet and silver armor rushed out from the Han army, holding a three-pointed sword.
Two-edged sword, this is Cen Peng.
Cen Peng came to Cai Hong and slashed him with his sword. Cai Hong did not give way and raised his sword to parry. Cang! This loud noise echoed in the mountains and forests for a long time.
After the head-on blow, both Cen Peng and Cai Hong's eyes flashed with surprise, neither of them expected that the other party was so strong.
Cai Hong roared: "Take my sword too!" As he spoke, he jumped up. When he fell, he used inertia to aim at the top of Cen Peng's head and slashed down with his sword.
Cen Peng spread his legs apart, raised his three-pointed two-edged sword, and parried upward. BANG! This time the loud noise was even louder. The soldiers of the Qin Feng Army and the Han Army around them all showed pain on their faces, covering their ears and retreating.
Dang, Dang, Dang! Cen Peng and Cai Hong were fighting each other back and forth. A three-pointed two-edged sword and a moon sword were flying up and down on the field, and the sound of sharp collisions was endless.
In the blink of an eye, the two fought for more than 20 rounds, with no winner or loser. However, the balance of power on the field had changed. Cen Peng became more courageous as he fought, while Cai Hong began to pant.
Cai Hong felt that he was unable to fight anymore, so he made a feint, turned around and ran away. Cen Peng shouted angrily, and then chased after Cai Hong. After running for a distance, he heard the footsteps behind him getting closer and closer, so he pretended to be lost.
He was balancing and fell forward. When Cen Peng chased him and raised his three-pointed two-edged knife high, and was about to chop down, Cai Hong's feet suddenly kicked back, and a handful of soil flew out.
Facing Cen Peng's face, at the same time, Cai Hong jumped up from the ground and slashed diagonally at Cen Peng's neck with his Yanyue knife.
Seeing Cai Hong's evil move coming, Cen Peng responded calmly and calmly. He first raised the knife with one hand and opened the other hand to block his eyes. The splashed mud hit his palm.
Immediately afterwards, a clanging sound was heard, and the three-pointed two-edged sword held up by Cen Peng with one hand was blocking Cai Hong's Yanyue Saber.
Cai Hong held the knife with both hands and slashed with all his strength, while Cen Peng held the knife with one hand and parried upward.
The huge impact force did not knock down Cen Peng's three-pointed two-edged sword, but only caused the blade to deflect sideways. The edge of the Yanyue knife rubbed against the handle of the three-pointed two-edged sword and slid to the side.
Unexpectedly, in this situation, the opponent could still receive his heavy sword. Just when Cai Hong was stunned, Cen Peng raised his leg and kicked Cai Hong in the lower abdomen.
Cai Hong groaned and took a few steps back. He finally managed to regain his balance. His face was almost turning purple from the suffocation, and his stomach hurt as if it was going to explode.
Cen Peng shook his palms that were numb from the shock, looked at Cai Hong opposite, and sneered: "Young people can only use these small tricks!"
Cai Hong couldn't stand Cen Peng's ridicule, so he roared angrily and charged at Cen Peng with a knife.
Cen Peng first deflected Cai Hong's knife, and then he rolled in the air and fell down with the knife. Cai Hong had no time to dodge, so he could only parry upward with his knife.
Crack! Crack!
Cen Peng's full-strength sword strike made Cai Hong really feel like he was being crushed by Mount Tai. The moment the two swords collided, he felt a huge force sweeping over him. The huge pressure spread along the blade to his arms, and then from his own arms.
His arms spread to his whole body.
Cai Hong couldn't stand and sat down on the ground. At the same time, his Yanyue Sword was also knocked to the ground. He was stunned for a moment and was about to pick up the Yanyue Sword that had fallen to the ground.
on the neck.
He stiffened, slowly raised his head, glared at Cen Peng, and said through gritted teeth: "Cen Peng, son, if you help the tyrants, sooner or later, you will end up like me! Haha——"
As he spoke, Cai Hong suddenly laughed wildly. After laughing for a while, he said triumphantly: "Do you think your plan has succeeded? The king has already broken out. It won't be long before the king will come back. By then, you
, and Liu Xiu of Luoyang will all die without a burial place..."
Before he finished speaking, Cen Peng held the knife in both hands and pressed it down hard. Hearing a pop, Cai Hong's body was still sitting on the ground, and the head had fallen off and landed on his lap.
Cen Peng flicked away the blood on his knife, turned his head and shouted: "Kill all the enemy troops!"
More than 3,000 Han troops led by Cen Peng blocked the path of Qin Feng's army. The main force of the Han army, led by Zhu You, Ji Zun, and Zang Gong, came up from behind Qin Feng's army. In this battle, Qin Feng's army numbered nearly 100,000.
defeat.
Under Cai Hong's desperate cover, Qin Feng broke out first and ran to Liqiu.
After Cen Peng captured Li Qiu, he did not leave many troops to garrison Li Qiu because he did not have many soldiers under his command. Now, Qin Feng, who was running for his life in a hurry, took a ready advantage.
After that, Qin Feng's troops were dispersed and fled to Liqiu one after another.
However, there were nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses at the beginning, but now less than 30,000 people have fled to Liqiu. The remaining tens of thousands of people either died in battle or were dispersed and fled to unknown places.
After this battle, the Han army launched a non-stop attack on Dongyang Ju. The Qin Feng army stationed in Dongyang Ju was led by Yancen and his deputy was Zhang Cheng, but in fact, the defenders all followed Zhang Cheng's lead.
It's very simple, Yan Cen is just an outsider, and Zhang Cheng is Qin Feng's confidant.
Seeing the large-scale attack by the Han army, and hearing the news that Qin Feng was ambushed and defeated, Yancen immediately came to Zhang Cheng and suggested that his troops should withdraw quickly and not fight the Han army forcefully.
After listening to Yancen's words, Zhang Cheng was so angry that his eyes were red. Now Atoushan is lost, Deng County is lost, and among the three major defense locations, Dongyangju is the only one left. You still have to abandon the defense of Dongyangju.
,Flee without fighting?
Zhang Cheng did not listen to Yancen's words and insisted on leading the garrison to fight to the death with the Han army. As soon as the battle began, the Han army's offensive was like a stormy sea crashing on the shore.
Seeing that the Han army was approaching fiercely and unstoppably, Yancen used what he was best at in his life to escape!
Yancen took his confidants, abandoned Dongyang Ju, and fled south. When he learned that Qin Feng was in Liqiu, Yancen led his men and immediately rushed to Liqiu to join Qin Feng. Yancen ran away with his men.
Zhang Cheng was left to fight a bloody battle with the Han army, and the results can be imagined.
The Qin Feng army led by Zhang Cheng was defeated by the Han army. In the end, Zhang Cheng died in the battle. Most of the soldiers in the army were killed. The remaining people all surrendered to the Han army.
This was the Battle of Deng County led by Cen Peng.
In this battle, the Han army won a complete victory, but the Qin Feng army suffered heavy casualties. The main force was basically wiped out, and the remaining 20,000 to 30,000 people were all huddled in Liqiu.
After this battle, the battle between Qin and Han had basically been divided, and the Han army already had an overwhelming advantage over Qin Feng's army.
I have to say that Liu Xiu's reprimand edict was still very effective. When Liu Xiu did not reprimand Cen Peng, Cen Peng's attitude towards the battle was completely unhurried. If Qin Feng was willing to delay, he would accompany Qin Feng to delay.
, see who consumes more energy than whom.
As a result, as soon as Liu Xiu's edict of rebuke arrived, Cen Peng's attitude towards the war immediately changed 180 degrees.
Within three days after receiving the edict, Cen Peng led the Han army and won a great victory over Qin Feng.
