Chapter 981 Veteran Huang Zhong
"The Xia Army's cavalry has arrived in the north of Xinye City, who will fight?"
As Yang Shilang's brother-in-law, Cai Mao is responsible for defending Xinye City.
Khitan general Xiao Talin led 3,000 cavalry from the Shan army as the vanguard to test the defenders of Xinye City, and Xinye was shocked.
Cai Mao looked around at the generals Wu Jie, Liu Pan, and Huang Zhong who were present.
"Perhaps the old man can fight."
Huang Zhong volunteered.
"Huang Zhong, are you really capable?"
Cai Mao saw that Huang Zhong's temples were turning gray and he was over fifty, so he couldn't help doubting Huang Zhong's ability.
"Although the old man is old, the sword is not old."
Huang Zhong is not to be outdone.
"Lord Cai Mao, the Jiangdong Wu army dispatched generals Huan Wen, Zu Ti, Liu Kun, Ling Cao and other generals from Jiangxia County!"
"The reinforcements promised by Wu Jun have finally arrived."
Cai Mao was overjoyed when he heard that Wu Jun had sent reinforcements.
The Wu army is more powerful than the Song army. From the battle between the king of Wu and the king of Song, it can be imagined that the king of Wu had the upper hand.
"Huang Zhong, you take five thousand cavalry to meet Xia's vanguard."
Although Cai Mao was the chief general of Xinye City, the real commander was Wu Jie, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty who was in the same period as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong.
"It must break its vanguard!"
Huang Zhong led 5,000 cavalry out of Xinye City to fight against the Khitan general Xiao Talin.
Huan Wen and Zu Ti led 100,000 Wu troops to support Xinye.
Huan Wen and Zu Ti were famous generals in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and they had already been active in the Lujiang and Chaisang areas in the early years.
Liu Kun and Zu Ti are the two protagonists in the allusion "Dancing after hearing the chicken", but Liu Kun's ability is much inferior to that of Zu Ti.
Ling Cao was the father of Ling Tong, a general of the Eastern Wu Dynasty. At this time Ling Tong was just a child.
When the Wu army entered Xinye to help defend, Cai Mao took Huan Wen's hand and said with emotion: "Xia's army is coming aggressively and wants to seize the land of Jingzhou. Although we were enemies before, now, the enemy is at hand, and we should join hands to defeat the enemy."
Huan Wen nodded: "I once fought against the Xia army in Hefei. At that time, King Xia had not yet unified the north. They are indeed unprecedentedly powerful enemies."
Cai Zhong, Cai He and the two brothers were submissive, and whispered to Cai Mao: "Brother, Xia Jun is invincible in the world, we can't be Xia Jun's opponent..."
Cai Mao scolded: "We haven't fought yet, so why build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige!"
Cai Zhong and Cai He were once captured by Mi Fang, and they had a psychological shadow on Xia Jun. They still whispered, thinking that Jingzhou Army could not resist Xia Jun's offensive.
The 5,000 Jingzhou cavalry led by Huang Zhong and the 3,000 Khitan cavalry led by Xiao Talin had already encountered each other in the northern part of Xinye City!
"Crush the enemy!"
Xiao Talin waved the mace in his hand, and 3000 cavalrymen of Xiao Chuo's Shan army charged Huang Zhong's cavalry!
Although Xiao Talin's troops were smaller than Huang Zhong's, the cavalry he brought belonged to Xiao Chuo's high-level cavalry, so it was entirely possible to defeat 5,000 Jingzhou cavalry.
The horses were galloping, the Shan army fired their bows and arrows, and Jingzhou cavalrymen kept shooting arrows and falling off their horses!
Huang Zhong holds a long bow and shoots all arrows, killing a Shan army cavalry with one arrow!
Xiao Talin noticed that one of the cavalrymen in Jingzhou was old and strong? He even shot a bag of arrows in one charge? More than 20 cavalrymen of the Shan army were shot and killed
So he waved his mace and smashed it at Huang Zhong!
The Jingzhou cavalry along the way was hit by a mace? The armor was deformed, and the iron nails destroyed the iron pieces!
Huang Zhong gave up his bow and arrow, raised his sword and confronted Xiao Talin!
"die!"
The mace whizzed down and was blocked by Huang Zhong's sword? The blade shook violently!
Huang Zhong knocked off the mace and slashed towards Xiao Talin!
Xiao Talin tried his best to avoid Huang Zhong's broadsword, the blade was less than an inch away from the tip of Xiao Talin's nose, Xiao Talin could already feel the sharpness of the blade.
If he was hit by Huang Zhong's big knife? He might die in the small city of Xinye.
Xiao Talin, who reacted, broke out in a cold sweat? Clenched the horse's belly, and retreated.
The Shan army cavalry had already overwhelmed the Jingzhou cavalry. Because the main general retreated, he had to turn his horse's head and leave the battle.
Huang Zhong chased and killed Xiao Talin with a knife in the melee by virtue of his own force.
The short fight has already made Xiao Talin understand that he is not Huang Zhong's opponent? So he thought of attracting Huang Zhong to the main force of Xiao Chuo, the leader of the Khitan Army.
With Xiao Chuo's ability, as long as he is surrounded by her superior force, even Huang Zhong will not be able to escape.
"Don't chase the poor!"
Huang Zhong pursued for fifteen miles, and suddenly sensed that danger was approaching, so he decisively led his troops and fled back to Xinye.
Yes, it was fleeing to Xinye, not withdrawing.
In front of Xiao Talin, tens of thousands of cavalry from the Khitan Army led by Xiao Chuo appeared. Brother Yeluxiu, Yelu Xiezhen, and the Kings of the Khitan North and South Courts respectively led a detour of Khitan cavalry, forming half an encirclement circle.
If Huang Zhong plunged into the encirclement, or if he was one step late, he would fall into Xiao Chuo's trap.
"Unfortunately... Some veterans have a keen sense of danger..."
Xiao Chuo knows that veterans on the battlefield are very sensitive to danger. Sometimes even if they don't see the enemy's ambushing army with their own eyes, these veterans on the battlefield will have a premonition of murderous intent and make choices.
After Xiao Chuo's ambush failed, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. If the conspiracy failed, he would attack head-on.
The Women's Legion, the Khitan Legion, and the Protectorate Legion, the three armies moved together, and the black clouds overwhelmed the city.
Huang Zhong returned to the city and went to Cai Mao to order, losing about 700 cavalry.
"Xia Jun, Xia Jun is already visible!"
"Xia Jun's soldiers are so fast!"
Cai Mao, Wu Jie, Huan Wen and others immediately boarded the city, looking at the black line that appeared in the north.
The Khitan cavalry, as the vanguard of the attack on Xinye City, held the battle flag of the Xia Army, hunting!
Wave after wave of Khitan cavalry, like a black wave.
The Xinye defenders were panicked.
No matter who it is, they all know that the Chutian forces use cavalry as their main force.
Huang Zhong saw that not long after he returned to Xinye City, the Xia army approached the city, and the army's momentum could not be seen at a glance, and his back felt cold.
If Huang Zhong hadn't retreated in time just now, he might have been captured by Xia Jun.
Huan Wen said with emotion: "The current Xia army is not what it used to be."
Wu Jie, the real leader of Xinye, said: "Use the divine arm bow and the eight-ox crossbow as defensive weapons to defend the city, and you must not fight against the Xia army."
Opposite the Baihe River in Xinye City, Song Wang Yang Shilang, with Han Shizhong, Zong Ze, Pan Mei, Cao Bin and other generals as the main force, Xu Shu as the military adviser, Zhang Yun and Wenpin as the naval commanders, supported Fancheng and resisted Wu Qi.
Generals Guo Ziyi, Qin Qiong, Li Daozong and Yang Shilang of the Tang Army joined together.
The Tang and Song coalition forces confronted Wu Qi in the north of Fancheng.
Wu Jun sent Liu Renzhan to guard Fancheng.
Liu Renzhan is also a top defender.
The princes of Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou relied on the dangers of mountains and rivers and the solid city defended by the famous defenders to build an almost impenetrable line of defense, delaying the war, trying to force Chutian's financial bankruptcy, and then retreat.
The thinking of the princes of the three states is basically correct, their defense line is currently indestructible.
Just in Xiangfan, there are natural dangers such as Hanshui, Baihe, and Xianshan. Fancheng and Xiangyang are the horns of each other. The Jingzhou Navy occupies Hanshui and can support Fancheng in time.
Advertise, [Changing source artifact] is really good, it's worth pretending, after all, there are many sources of books, all books, and fast updates!
Wancheng and Fancheng have first-class defenders, even Xinye has a defender Wu Jie, and there are still many troops.
"Shanhe, defender, Chu Zimou wants to break through such a line of defense, it's not easy."
Facing Wu Qi, Yang Shilang focused on defense and tried to avoid a decisive battle with Wu Qi.
The wars in Korea, Jianghuai, Xiangfan, and Hanzhong came to a standstill for a while.
Chutian is still invincible in the north, but in the south, after the terrain changes, the speed of advancement is obviously hindered.
On the Koryo battlefield, the two sides saw each other in the mountains north of the Koryo King City.
On the Jianghuai battlefield, Tongque took the initiative to attack the coastal counties, Sun Jian attacked Hefei and Shouchun, and the Xia army was overwhelmed.
On the Xiangfan battlefield, many defenders were assembled, and Hanshui blocked the Xia army's cavalry from taking Xiangyang directly.
The Hanzhong battlefield was surrounded by mountains, and the Xia army could only fight the Shu army on narrow mountain roads.
The danger of mountains and rivers is not just a joke.
If it weren't for the danger of mountains and rivers, the Three Kingdoms would not have faced each other for many years, and the Northern and Southern Dynasties would not have formed, and the Southern Song Dynasty would not have survived for decades before perishing under the vanguard of Mongolian cavalry.
Chutian is looking for an opportunity to break the situation, and the princes of the three southern states are waiting for Chutian's financial bankruptcy or changes in the north.
Both sides are in torment.
In order to break the situation, Chu Tian even assured Sun Jian for the second time to ensure the position of the Sun family.
In Central America, the legions of the United States aggressively attacked the Mayan civilization.
A city of Mayan civilization was captured, and the Griffin Legion of the United States occupied the city, captured 200,000 people, and turned them into slaves.
"I heard that Brand of the Fire Dragon Legion was hit hard by the Han Empire in Goryeo. He is really unlucky. It seems that he has no share in the spoils of the Mayan Kingdom."
The Legion Master of the Griffin Legion summoned a group of Grand Masters to mention the hapless Fire Dragon Legion.
"General, a group of dragoons was attacked by Jaguar warriors from the Aztec Empire in the jungle, and the entire army was wiped out!"
The head of the Griffon Legion laughed at the fact that when the Fire Dragon Legion was frustrated on the Korean battlefield, a group of dragoons under his command were destroyed.
His cheeks were hot, as if he had been slapped.
However, he quickly realized the danger: "How could the elite warriors of the Aztec Empire enter the territory of the Mayan Kingdom? Did the king of the Mayan Kingdom reach a condition with the king of the Aztec Empire?"
"Look, general, it's an eagle warrior from the Aztec Empire!"
"Damn it!"
The soldiers of the Griffin Legion found that the sky was covered by huge eagles. At least a thousand brave Aztec eagle warriors wore eagle head ornaments on their heads, held spears, rode giant eagles, and cast shadows!
As one of the three major civilizations in Central America, the Aztec Empire has special arms——Aztec Jaguar Warrior, Aztec Eagle Warrior!
"Bows, crossbows and muskets are ready, no one should panic, and shoot after hearing the order!"
The soldiers of the Griffon Legion held crossbows and English longbows, aiming nervously at the Aztec eagle warriors.
The arms of the Aztec Empire are very special.
A great battle broke out between different American civilizations. The Aztec eagle warriors swooped down, threw spears, and pierced through the soldiers of the Griffon Legion!
The Griffin Legion fired ten thousand crossbows, shooting and killing the Aztec eagle warriors, and the blood of the fallen eagle splashed into the sky.
The Aztec Empire and the Mayan Empire joined forces to resist the ever-expanding United States.
