The sunlight was projected from behind, stretching the shadow of the team to a very long distance, and the farthest was naturally the fire sword flag flying high and the camp flag of the Baoqing battalion, the wind was not strong, but the battle flag, the camp flag, and the recognition flag of each team were blown hula, flying in the air.

Jiang Shangyan sat on the ground, carefully wiping his double knives, he wiped them very carefully, especially the two fine grooves near the back of the knife, which were wiped repeatedly, and it was the easiest to hide the blood scale that had not been removed cleanly.

His Baoqing battalion is the vanguard, and will start the first battle of the Taiping army to capture the Yue Kingdom, and his opponent is Chen Ci, who has recently gained fame in the Yue Kingdom.

Chen Ci's sudden fame was not because of how much he had achieved on the battlefield, he had been suppressed by the Luo clan for decades, and most of the time in the Yue country was unknown, even if his actual ability was very good, which can be seen from the fact that he resisted the Qin people on the Qin-Yue border for so long.

But good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, he suddenly hit a rake, threw himself into Luo Yishui, and caught the Yue court off guard, but it made him famous all over the world in the blink of an eye, and when everyone admired Luo Kuan, who had been wronged, they would also give a thumbs up and praise Chen Ci This guy can really forbear, he is a character.

Jiang Shangyan is the kind of pure soldier, if you want to find a character in the Taiping Army who can be compared to him, the wild dog Gan Wei is similar to him. He is not interested in politics, and he pays more attention to fighting on the battlefield, and takes obedience to orders as his duty. Even though he was puzzled by Cheng Wuben's decision to completely integrate Baoqing's Chu army into the command system of the Taiping Army, he still didn't ask why, just acted according to orders.

Dealing with Chen Ci, in his opinion, is just another new experience in his countless battlefield careers.

The four major powers on the mainland, Qin and Chu are not convinced by each other, and the Qin army has always looked down on the armies of Qi and Chu, and as for Yue, it is recognized as the worst link among the four countries. Jiang Shangyan, who had fought with the Qi people for many years from the eastern border, naturally did not take this Yue army in his heart.

What about the confrontation with the Qin people for several years? It's just because the Qin people look east and west, and they don't have a strong economic backing force to launch a large-scale attack, and most of the time, the border army of the Qin State is worried about food, which naturally restricts their war strength. If you really want to talk about the single combat ability of the soldiers and the degree of death, even Qin Feng is very afraid of the border army of the Qin State.

It is better to mess with the tiger than the hungry wolf. This is Qin Feng's evaluation of the border army of the Qin State, those border soldiers of the Qin State who are in ragged clothes and holding broken copper and iron in their hands have always been hungry wolves.

Of course, in the past few years, with the successive victories of the border army of the Qin State on the border of the Chu State and the border of the Yue State, their situation has greatly improved, but the overall strength of the country is like this, compared with the armies of other countries, they can still be described as beggars.

God opens a window for you, and then closes a door, which may be God's fairness. The Qin people had a strong military force, but their economic strength was so bad that if a war exceeded a certain time, they would be unable to continue fighting.

There was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Jiang Shangyan narrowed his good-looking Danfeng eyes, looked up, and the rushing knight held a recognition flag in his hand, shaking it desperately, seeing this scene, he laughed.

It's coming, the enemy is coming!

Standing up shrugged, a few leaves drifted in the wind from nowhere, the knife flashed slightly, the small leaves were divided into two in the air, two were divided into four, and four were divided into eight, Jiang Shangyan turned over on his horse in laughter, raised one hand high, and shouted: "Array, prepare for war!" ”

The shrill whistle, the officer's command, and the waving of the flag made the quiet line seem slightly disturbed, and after a while, silence had been restored.

Five thousand Chu troops lined up, and opposite them were four times their Yue border army.

According to the agreement with the Taiping army, the Baoqing battalion is composed of the Chu army, and the upper limit shall not exceed 5,000 people, they can choose to replenish on the spot or from the Chu land, for the Chu officers, they naturally do not want their ranks to be mixed with sand by the Taiping army, although now he obeys the command of the Taiping army, for the same goal, however, they must maintain their initiative.

The agreement was completed, and more than 1,000 Chu troops were transported from above the sea, and the Baoqing battalion was replenished to 5,000. The Taiping Army does not care about the military salary, of course, the replenishment of equipment and the distribution of silver rewards when the war breaks out, which still has to be borne.

Jiang Shangyan, who was still a little worried about the quality of the Taiping Army's weapons at first, kept silent about this issue after getting the first batch of weapon supplements, because he was surprised to find that the weapons supplemented by the Taiping Army were exactly the same as those of the Chu Army, and they were even better in quality, and only at this time would he remember that Qin Feng and these guys turned out to be officers of the Chu State!

It made him a little weird. However, this strange feeling weakened the resistance in his heart to serve the Taiping Army, and it was better for the meat to rot in the pot than to rot outside.

"Let you Yue Guoyan know how powerful I am Jiang Shangyan!" The fingers stroked the blades of the double knives like a pool of autumn water, and a heroic spirit that made Jiang Shangyan very excited in a foreign land.

In front of him, a black line appeared, gradually getting closer, a big banner with a Chinese character was quite eye-catching, and then, the black line stopped in place, and after a period of chaos, the formation was rectified, and the two sides began to face each other.

Jiang Shang Yan Ziya laughed, and her white teeth were quite eye-catching.

Opposite, Chen Ci exhaled heavily.

Three days ago, they defeated the county soldiers who set out from Yongping County to Zhongping County, those battles, for him, are naturally effortless, not even a warm-up, they gathered and sent to the door, for Chen Ci, it is a good thing, once and for all, there will be no more obstacles to Yongping County.

He proceeded with a relaxed mood, only yesterday, when his scout met another scout team, and the two sides skirmished before separating.

This surprised him, because from the scout's description, it was clear that this army was not the army of Yongping County, and besides, the army of Yongping County should no longer exist.

This discovery made him cautious, which showed that there was another force in Yongping County.

Today, the confrontation between this kind of scouts has suddenly become fierce, and there are more and more scouts of the opposing party, which only shows a problem, he is not far from the opponent's army.

Luo Yishui raised troops, the strength of the current Yue country, is also quite strong, but the most fatal point is the weakness of the intelligence system, although in the Yue country he has no shortage of supporters, but under the strict investigation of the Taiping army and the Yue court, the Taiping army marched into Yongping news, Luo Yishui did not know at all, he thought that at this moment the Taiping army is preparing for the offensive of Zhengyang County, only when he and the Yue Emperor Wu Jianda fight, the Taiping army will launch an attack on Zhengyang County.

From his point of view, this was of course the best time for the Taiping army to seize Zhengyang County. In fact, before Cheng Wuben entered the Taiping Army, Qin Feng did think so, step by step, to lay a solid foundation, but Cheng Wuben's big plan made Qin Feng change his mind, although it was a little radical, but once it succeeded, it would let the Taiping Army grasp the initiative and include Yue Guo in his bag.

It wasn't until he saw the Flame Battle Sword Banner that Chen Ci finally knew who he had met.

I was shocked in my heart, because in Luo Yishui's plan, the Taiping army should be their helper on paper rather than the enemy they should face now. The battle between the two sides should be after Luo Yishui defeated the Yue Emperor, and the struggle for control of the Yue Kingdom should not be now.

But the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny, the Taiping army appeared here and stopped in front of them, which means that the agreement Luo Yishui reached with Qin Feng before is simply a piece of waste paper.

Qin Feng had other plans.

Chen Ci swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty, since he killed Xiao Zhenggang, everything has not gone well. First, in a small county town like Longyou, he was desperately intercepted by Mrs. Xiao, breaking the dream of occupying Zhongping County, and now he marched into Yongping and encountered a more powerful Taiping army.

Losing Zhongping, if he can't take Yongping again, it will be a disastrous result for Luo Yishui.

There is no need to negotiate, and there is no need to say anything more, the appearance of the Taiping army here has already explained that the two sides only have one battle to decide the ownership of Yongping County, but they don't know how many troops of the Taiping army have entered Yongping County.

There was no way out, Chen Ci slowly pulled out his knife and said sharply: "The cavalry charge into battle and crush them!" ”

The cowhide drum sounded loudly, countless horns sounded, and two thousand cavalry jumped out from behind Chen Ci and rushed towards the position of the Baoqing camp.

One thousand steps, began to accelerate, three hundred steps, the speed of the cavalry rose to the highest speed, in the eyes of the Chu army on the opposite side, the impact of two thousand cavalry, it was simply overwhelming, and there was no longer anything in front of him, only the figure of the cavalry covering the sky and the sun.

Behind him, the whistle of the pedal crossbow sounded sharply, and hundreds of crossbow arrows flew over the heads of the infantry in front of them, whistling and flying out, and there was some commotion in the cavalry, and dozens of horsemen fell off their horses, but among the two thousand cavalry, this manpower was really insignificant.

Two hundred steps, Jiang Shangyan's eyebrows jumped slightly, and at this moment, on the seemingly flat ground, one tripstring after another suddenly popped up.

All of a sudden, people turned on their backs.

"Hit!" Jiang Shangyan spat out a word.

In the ranks of the Baoqing battalion, hundreds of tall and arm-length men rushed out at a trot, holding sharp spears in their hands, speeding up, waving their arms, the spears made wonderful curves, and the shafts of the spears rotated, stabbing at the group of cavalry that had become chaotic.

At the same time, locust-like feathered arrows obscured the sun in the sky, turning all the land under the arrows into shadows. (To be continued.) )
