Chapter 205: Fierce Battle in Pingchuan
Chapter 205: Fierce Battle in Pingchuan
...At the hour of Yin the next day, when it was still pitch dark, the soldiers began to get up.
Jiang Yue ate breakfast in a hurry. Just as she put down her bowl and chopsticks, she heard the team gathering outside the camp.
She quickly joined the line, and the soldiers hurriedly came over and began to organize their formation.
The Xuanwu team followed closely behind Jiang Yue. The six captains, although reluctant, led their troops and appeared behind Jiang Yue.
Seeing that everyone was present, Xia Yuanchen said nothing more but gave the order:
"set off!"
Except for the two thousand soldiers guarding the camp, all the others set out.
... Approaching Pingchuan, Jiang Yue led 6,000 soldiers and stopped on horseback two miles from the Pingchuan city gate.
We are prepared to block them here so that the Major General can capture the city smoothly.
Sun Shao immediately led two thousand soldiers to surround Pingchuan.
As the city gate was wide open, Xia Yuanchen easily entered Pingchuan City.
The moment the Donglin soldiers entered, the soldiers in the front row held shields and walked very carefully, fearing that a rain of arrows would suddenly come...
…The rain of arrows came suddenly, and the Donglin soldiers quickly raised their shields, and a fierce battle between the two sides began.
The figure of Pingchuan's enemy general also suddenly appeared.
"General Xia, you really dare to come!"
He also thought that Sun Shao and others outside were just a cover, and Xia Yuanchen himself had already gone to Youlan City with his army.
Xia Yuanchen looked at the man on the horse. He was about forty years old, but he had no impression of him at all. He was very curious about how the other party knew him.
"Why not? You are just a bunch of stale fish and shrimps. How can I be afraid of you?"
After hearing this, the enemy general in Pingchuan's face changed drastically.
Is he scolding him for being old, or is he cursing his soldiers?
"Now that we're in the city, don't leave!"
The reason why he was so confident was that he knew that they still had 10,000 soldiers outside the city, enough to compete with Donglin.
After the speech, all the enemy troops in Pingchuan County rushed out enthusiastically, and were evenly matched with the troops led by Xia Yuanchen.
A melee in the city is about to break out...
...Outside the city, Sun Shao was extremely anxious when he heard this and wanted to rush in, but military orders were as firm as a mountain and he was afraid of being punished by the major general, so he had to stay put.
Jiang Yue also heard the noise in the city, but he did not move his troops. He only gave orders to the soldiers under his command in a deep voice:
"Set up the formation!"
The words had just fallen, and the team had not yet formed.
Suddenly, there was the sound of horse hooves in the distance...
In the distance, a young enemy general led 10,000 soldiers and rushed forward.
Han Chao, the enemy general on horseback, saw the Donglin army blocking the way from a distance, and the expression on his face was a little ugly.
At the moment when the enemy general Han rushed in, the formation was arranged tightly.
The enemy general was forced to stop due to the pressure of the fish scales.
Han Chao tightened the reins and the two armies faced each other.
"Is there no one left in Donglin? They are either old, weak, sick or disabled, or just children."
"Donglin has many powerful generals. I, a nobody, am enough to deal with you!" Jiang Yue said as he carefully observed the enemy general in front of him.
I have seen so many enemy generals, and this one is no different.
Upon closer inspection, he was found to be about the same age as General Ling, and of average appearance.
"He may be young, but he's very brave!" Han Chao's aura was overwhelming, and his words were powerful.
Jiang Yue continued, "Of course, it's not like you. Before the fight even started, people were scared away just by hearing about our Major General's reputation."
"Scared away? My boy, do you think I was scared?"
"Is that so? Haven't you confirmed it yourself?" Jiang Yue curled her lips slightly and looked at the ten thousand enemy troops ahead.
"I don't know how your king will deal with you if you abandon the city and flee?"
"Abandon the city? Not happening. I'm just letting you take over temporarily. I will capture the city within three days!"
After Han Chao finished speaking, he gave an order.
"war!"
If not, his troops alone would not be enough.
Now, he has joined forces with General Song, and he believes that they will definitely win.
But he didn't expect that Jiang Yue would see through his plan in advance and block him from outside.
Now, he only hoped that General Song in the city could capture the boy from the Xia family in one fell swoop.
Jiang Yue also led 10,000 soldiers and ordered, "Attack!"
In an instant, the two sides fell into a melee.
"Break their flank!" Han Chao looked at the formation and said loudly.
The army led by Jiang Yue had already launched a fierce attack on his central forces.
He saw that Jiang Yueyu had already circled to the middle and rear position.
Therefore, he personally led a team of soldiers to chase Jiang Yue. While wanting to kill Jiang Yue, he also wanted to disintegrate his army in all aspects.
The two armies fought fiercely and swiftly. It was the first time that Jiang Yue led 6,000 soldiers in a large-scale battle. He only focused on keeping a clear head and commanding the battle while strengthening the defense...
Back in the city, Xia Yuanchen had already been engaged in a melee with the enemy general Pingchuan.
The rest of the troops were scattered in the chaos, and the battle in the city became a mess, and it became more and more chaotic...
Compared with Xia Yuanchen, Pingchuan's enemy general felt that he had a certain advantage.
Just like now,
When the two were fighting, Xia Yuanchen was already covered in wounds, while he was only slightly injured.
The enemy in Pingchuan maintained a winning mentality in this battle, and after killing the two generals accompanying Xia Yuanchen, Zheng Yi and Zheng Er, they slashed at his vital points with their swords.
Xia Yuanchen retreated with every move, and was finally beaten to the point where he had nowhere to retreat. He regretted not practicing martial arts well, as his skills had been deteriorating in recent days.
Facing the long sword that the Pingchuan enemy general suddenly stabbed at him, he dodged and felt pain in his right shoulder. He was actually stabbed by the enemy general in front of him.
Surges of severe pain swept over Xia Yuanchen, who fell to the ground with a thud.
"What kind of useless son can Xia Qi, that old man, give birth to?"
The enemy general Pingchuan laughed wildly, picked up the long knife in his hand, and slashed at Xia Yuanchen's neck again.
Xia Yuanchen closed his eyes, his mind went blank for a moment, and while the enemy general in Pingchuan was eager to make a contribution,
He tried his best, suddenly turned sideways, and quickly drew out the long sword in his hand, slashing at the legs of Pingchuan enemy general...
The enemy general Pingchuan's smile froze instantly because of the severe pain in his legs. He didn't expect that this kid would cheat on him.
Fortunately, he dodged quickly enough, otherwise, both of his legs would have been chopped off by Xia Yuanchen.
He tried his best to dodge Xia Yuanchen's moves.
With another sword, he tried to cut off Xia Yuanchen's hands.
But Xia Yuanchen had already circled behind him, wielding his sword and stabbing hard.
The enemy general in Pingchuan hurriedly dodged to the side, but he was still stabbed in the back, and his entire back was stained with blood.
His face changed drastically, and because he was unable to exert any strength and did not want to continue fighting, he began to retreat quickly.
"We still have 10,000 reinforcements outside the city. You Donglin will definitely lose this battle!"
"Donglin will win!" Behind him, Xia Yuanchen endured the severe pain in his body and took a step to catch up. He threw out his long sword swiftly.
With a snort,
"You wait! Our reinforcements are outside the city..." The enemy general Pingchuan was stabbed by a flying sword and had no time to turn around. Xia Yuanchen drew his sword hard and dragged the enemy general Pingchuan directly towards the direction of the city wall.
...Outside the city gate, Jiang Yue's fight was still going on.
In the melee, casualties were inevitable, and blood spread all over the ground.
The fish scale formation of the Donglin soldiers kept reuniting in the chaos.
I have to say that General Han has some real skills.
The Xuanwu troops that were originally distributed in various parts of the formation also gathered again.
Although they were not at an advantage in numbers, they united as one, holding swords and fighting as a group. They confronted the enemy's main generals and attacked them one by one.
At this moment, Jiang Yue is fighting against Han Chao...
