Chapter 690: The Battle Begins
In the early spring, everything comes back to life, and a few drops of dew hang on the green grass under the warm morning sun.
Suddenly, there was a tremor on the earth, violent and rhythmic, growing larger and larger, and a large army slowly approached.
Standing on the car, Yuan Shu looked at the elite and neat 180,000 troops around him, his heart was full of pride, and he said loudly: "The princes of the world, except for a certain one, who has such a military appearance?" ”
This is not Yuan Shu's boasting, if it is about the number of soldiers, maybe Cao Cao and Yuan Shao can do this, but when it comes to the elite of the soldiers and the luxury of the equipment, they can't compare together.
Guo Jia and the others looked at the soldiers around them who were majestic and had a fierce aura, and nodded secretly. I have to say that so much money and food spent by Yuan Shu was not spent in vain, and the cost of several times that of ordinary soldiers created such a mighty soldier today. Whether it is physical fitness or willpower, today's Chu army has reached the top level, which is even better than the strong Qin soldiers and Han warriors of the past, and the only thing that is worse is combat experience.
"Your Majesty, if the cost of this nearly 200,000 army is exchanged for other princes, it will be enough to pull up a million troops, if you don't even have this little military capacity, aren't the generals too incompetent?" Guo Jia complained unceremoniously.
At this time, the allied forces of Cao, Yuan and Liu had already appeared in the distance, and the situation of the soldiers on both sides was swept casually, and the judgment was made. Needless to say, the body size and mental outlook, looking at the equipment on the soldiers on both sides, Guo Jia felt distressed for Cao Cao and them.
Half of Sergeant Cao's body is still covered with leather armor, and the rest are basically the most ordinary armor. Looking at the degree of dilapidation and workmanship, it is estimated that it can be cut with a casual knife, and it is completely just a thin layer of iron sheet. The Chu sergeant is a common double-layer armor, with a solid fish-scale armor on the outside and a delicate inner armor inside.
It is no wonder that although Cao Cao gained a lot of money by robbing tombs and raised an army of 400,000, the ordnance could not keep up. After all, the creation of ordnance is not just money, ninety percent of the craftsmen have been pulled to Dachu by Yuan Shu, and being able to cast so many ordnance is already the result of Cao Cao predicting this situation in advance and constantly squeezing the craftsmen.
Xi Zhicai, who was in command in the rear of the coalition army, swept the Chu army in front of him with a solemn gaze, and his face was extremely ugly. More than 100,000 troops are all armed to the teeth, and they are majestic, battle-spirited, and neatly arranged. This momentum alone overwhelmed the coalition forces and made them chill.
"The Chu army is really the best army in the world!" Xi Zhicai couldn't help but mutter.
And Liu Cheng, the son of Han Tianzi beside him, was already so frightened that his legs trembled at this time, and his face was extremely frightened. When had he ever seen such a scene, let alone participated in it. If he hadn't been in the rear army, and Cao Cao, Xi Zhicai and others were watching, he would have fled a long time ago.
How can Liu Cheng's performance hide from the eyes of Xi Zhicai, Cao Cao, Xun Yu and others. Xi Zhicai, Cao Cao and the others all turned a blind eye to this, they had already guessed this situation, but Xun Yu was pale.
Yuan Shu's entire army was in a phalanx, Guo Jia was in the middle army and commanded beside Yuan Shu, Sun Jian commanded the front army, Zhang Liao and Tai Shici were in the middle army, Wei Yan and Hua Xiong each led 20,000 elite cavalry to be on the left and right, and the rest of the generals led the army around and guarded the rear army in the forbidden town.
The entire military formation was decent, there was nothing prominent, and there were no flaws, and the entire army seemed to advance slowly as one, which made Xi Zhicai frown.
"Yuan Highway is going to take the royal road to the extreme!" Xi Zhicai muttered, and then the handsome flag waved, and the coalition army also attacked as a whole.
However, unlike Yuan Shu's army, which seemed to advance slowly as a whole, several arrows suddenly appeared in the front army of the coalition army, all charging forward in a conical formation.
"White Tiger (Green Dragon) Battle Formation, up!" In the moment before the two sides were about to fight, Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai secretly shouted at the same time.
At the same time, Liu Cheng, who was in front of Xi Zhicai, pulled out the Gaozu Chixiao Sword in his hand, and a red dragon of luck that was invisible to the naked eye rushed into the sky and merged into the cloud qi of the coalition army.
In this case, both sides directly put into use the backhand that had been prepared for a long time. After all, they are all going head-to-head, and if they hide and tuck, once there is a decline, they will not be used at all.
Yuan Shu looked at the red dragon in the air, and glanced at Liu Cheng, who was pale in the distance: "The old Liu family really has a lot of means!" There is a missing heirloom jade seal, and there is a Chixiao sword. ”
"Your Majesty, the power of the other party's battle array is probably much stronger than ours." Guo Jia's face was slightly solemn.
"Is Liu Cheng crazy? How could you do such a thing? He wasn't afraid that Han Gaozu would crawl out of the coffin and beat him to death? Tian Feng said in disbelief.
After the appearance of luck again and again, many people have somewhat understood the mystery of this luck that once only existed in speculation, and Tian Feng is one of them. Liu Cheng did this, which can be said to have lost all the little luck that the Han had left, and it was lost to Cao Cao. It's this victory, and even this last bit of luck is gone, unless a miracle happens.
"There's nothing he can do. Not to mention Cao Cao's coercion, this defeat is defeated, do you think he will think that we can spare him? This son is selfish, and in his heart, his life is probably more important than the 400-year-old Han Dynasty. Jia Xu said coldly.
He has seen a lot of people who forget their ancestors for the sake of profit, but he didn't expect that the old Liu family would finally appear such a thing. With such a toss, the big man will die if he doesn't die, obviously looking for death!
"It's okay, today I'm going to see how much ability he Cao Mengde has, even if Han Xin can't save him in his life!" Yuan Shu said lightly.
As soon as the two sides clashed, the four generals Cao Hong, Le Jin, Li Dian, and Xu Huang each led the elite under their command, like four huge sharp thorns, and stabbed into the Chu army fiercely. The strength advantage of the coalition army three times that of the Chu army was vividly exerted at this time, and the entire army enveloped the front army of the Chu army and attacked in all directions, as if to stab Sun Jian's front army into a sieve. The four generals, each holding a blade, rushed towards Sun Jian.
"The enemy is the elite, and the road is kingly. We have a lot of soldiers, and we are domineering! Xi Zhicai said with a ruthless face: "Our army's fighting will and equipment are far inferior to the other party, and it is not suitable for a protracted war." We can only defeat it as soon as possible with the momentum of thunder, as long as we penetrate the Chinese army, we will win this battle. ”
"Attacking the weaknesses of others with one's own strengths is very good." Cao Cao said with a serious face.
Xi Zhicai's mind Guo Jia naturally understood, and in the face of the fierce attack that the coalition army came up with overwhelmingly, Guo Jia did not panic at all, because it was Sun Jian who commanded the front army.
Jiangdong Tigers, Sun Jian!
In the face of the enemy army that was several times his size and was surging in attack, Sun Jian's face was fearless, full of excitement, and his hand holding the Gudian knife was faintly trembling. It's been many years, and it's time to show his tiger fangs again.
Pulling out the Gudian knife and stepping forward, Sun Jian frantically urged the talent of the legion, and shouted: "Kill!" ”
