Chapter 479: The first battle

The sunlight came from behind, pulling the shadow of the team very long. The farthest one was naturally the high-flying fire sword flag and the camp flag of Baoqing Camp. The wind was not strong, but the battle flag, camp flag, and the recognition flag of each team were still blowing, waving and dancing in the air.

Jiang Shangyan was sitting on the ground and was wiping his swords carefully. He wiped them very carefully, especially the two thin grooves near the back of the knife, and repeatedly wiped them. The blood stains that were not removed from the fine and clean were the easiest to hide.

His Baoqing camp was the vanguard and would start the first battle of the Taiping Army to capture Yue Kingdom. His opponent was Chen Ci, who had recently become famous in Yue Kingdom.

Chen Ci suddenly became famous because of how great he achieved on the battlefield. He was suppressed by the Luo family for decades and was unknown in Yue Kingdom for most of his time. Even though his actual ability was very good, it can be seen from the fact that he had resisted the Qin people on the Qin-Vietnam border for so long.

However, good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles away. He suddenly turned around and applied to Luo Yishui, caught him off guard by the Yue State court, but made him famous all over the world in a blink of an eye. When everyone admired Luo Kuan, who had already become an unjust deceased, they would also give him a thumbs up and praise Chen Ci, who is really tolerant and is a character.

Jiang Shangyan is a pure soldier. If he wanted to find a person in the Taiping Army that could be compared with him, the wild dog Gan Wei had a similar character. He was not interested in politics, but focused more on fighting on the battlefield, and obeying orders as his duty. Even though he was puzzled by Cheng Wuben's complete inclusion of Baoqing's Chu army in the command system of the Taiping Army, he still didn't ask why, but just acted according to the orders.

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

The four major countries on the mainland were dissatisfied with each other, and the Qin army has always looked down on the Qi and Chu teams. As for the Yue Kingdom, it is recognized as the worst link among the four countries. Jiang Shangyan, who had fought with the Qi people for many years, naturally did not take this Yue Kingdom team seriously.

So what if they confronted the Qin people for several years? It was just because the Qin people looked around and did not have a strong economic backing force to launch a large-scale attack. Most of the time, the Qin border troops were worried about food, which naturally restricted their war power. If we really talk about the soldiers' single combat ability and degree of death, even Qin Feng was very afraid of the Qin border troops.

It is better to provoke a fierce tiger than a hungry wolf. This is Qin Feng's evaluation of the Qin border troops. Those Qin border troops, who were dressed in ragged clothes and holding ragged iron in their hands, have always been hungry wolf.

Of course, in recent years, as the Qin border troops have won consecutive victories on the Chu border and the Vietnam border, their situation has improved greatly, but the overall strength of the country is so that they can still be described as beggars compared with the armies of other countries.

God opens a window for you and closes a door. This may be God's fairness. The Qin people only have strong military power, but their economic strength is too bad, so if a war exceeds a certain period of time, they will be unable to continue to fight.

The sound of horse hooves came from afar. Jiang Shangyan narrowed his beautiful pair of phoenix eyes, looked up, and the running knight was holding a flag in his hand, shaking desperately. Seeing this scene, he laughed.

Here comes the enemy!

He stood up and some leaves drifted from somewhere in the wind. The sword light flashed slightly. The small leaves were divided into two in the air, two in four in four, and four in eight. The Yan of Jiang Shang was laughing and turned over the horse, holding one hand high, shouting loudly: "Let the array and prepare for the battle!"

The sharp whistle, the officer's command, and the waving of the flag made the quiet team appear slightly riot. After a moment, the quietness had returned to its original state.

Five thousand Chu troops were lined up and waiting, opposite them was four times their border troops in the Yue Kingdom.

According to the agreement with the Taiping Army, the Baoqing camp consists of the Chu army, with a maximum limit of no more than 5,000 people. They can choose to supplement on the spot or from Chu. For the Chu officers, they naturally do not want their team to be mixed with sand by the Taiping Army. Although he obeys the command of the Taiping Army now, it is the same goal, but they must maintain their initiative.

After the agreement was established, more than a thousand Chu troops were transported from the sea, and the Baoqing camp was supplemented by 5,000. The Taiping Army ignored the military pay. Of course, the supplement of equipment and the issuance of silver rewards when the war broke out.

At first, Jiang Shangyan, who was a little worried about the quality of the Taiping Army's weapons, then after receiving the first batch of weapons to supplement it, he kept silent about this issue 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 were even better in terms of quality. Only at this time did he remember that Qin Feng and the like were all officers of the Chu State!

This feeling made him a little strange. However, this strange feeling made him feel a little less resistant to serving the Taiping Army. The meat is better in the pot than in the outside.

"Let you Yue Guogu know how powerful I, Jiang Shangyan!" His fingers stroked the blade of the sword that looked like a pool of autumn water, and the heroic spirit of becoming famous in the foreign land made Jiang Shangyan very excited.

A black line appeared in front of me, gradually approaching, a banner with Chen characters was quite eye-catching, and then the black line stopped in place. After a storm, the formation was rectified and the two sides began to face each other.

Yan Ziya smiled on the river, and her white teeth were quite eye-catching.

On the opposite side, Chen Ci let out a heavy breath.

Three days ago, they defeated the soldiers who set out from Yongping County to Zhongping County. The battles were naturally effortless for him and they could not even warm up. They gathered together to deliver them to the door. It was a great thing for Chen Ci. Once and for all, there would be no obstacles to going to Yongping County.

He moved forward with a relaxed mood, only yesterday when his scout met another scout team, and after a small-scale confrontation between the two sides then left.

This surprised him very much, because from the scout's description, this army was obviously not the army of Yongping County, and the army of Yongping County should no longer exist.

This discovery made him cautious, which shows that there is another force in Yongping County.

Today, the confrontation between scouts suddenly became fierce, and more and more scouts appeared on the other side, which only showed one problem: he was not far from the other side's army.

Luo Yishui's military strength was still quite strong for the current Yue Kingdom, but the fatal point was the weakness of the intelligence system. Although he had many supporters in Yue Kingdom, under the harsh investigation of the Taiping Army and the Yue Kingdom court, Luo Yishui had no idea about the news that the Taiping Army marched into Yongping. He thought that the Taiping Army was preparing for an offensive against Zhengyang County at this moment. When he fought with Emperor Wu Jian of Yue, the Taiping Army would launch an attack on Zhengyang County.

From his perspective, this is 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 consolidate the foundation. However, Cheng Wuben's big plan changed Qin Feng's idea. Although it was a bit radical, once it succeeded, it would allow the Taiping Army to take the initiative and include the Yue Kingdom in his pocket.

It was not until he saw the Fire Battle Sword Flag that Chen Ci finally knew who he had met.

I was shocked 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 fought for control of Yue Kingdom rather than now.

But the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny. The Taiping Army appears here and blocks them, which means that the agreement reached by Luo Yishui and Qin Feng is simply a piece of waste paper.

Qin Feng has other plans.

Chen Ci swallowed a bit of difficulty. Since he killed Xiao Zhenggang, everything went wrong. First, he was blocked by Mrs. Xiao's desperate attempt in a small county like Longyou, breaking his dream of occupying Zhongping County. Now he has marched into Yongping and encountered a stronger Taiping Army.

If you lose Zhongping and cannot win Yongping, it will be a disastrous result for Luo Yishui.

There is no need to negotiate or say more. The Taiping Army appeared here, which already shows that the two sides had to decide the ownership of Yongping County in one battle, but they knew nothing about how many Taiping Army troops entered Yongping County.

There was no way out, Chen Ci slowly drew his sword and said sternly: "The cavalry rushed to the formation and defeat them!"

The cowhide drum beat the sky loudly, and countless horns were blowing. Two thousand cavalrymen jumped out from behind Chen Ci and rushed towards the position of Baoqing Camp.

One thousand steps, the acceleration began. When three hundred steps were made, the cavalry speed increased to the highest speed. In the eyes of the Chu army opposite, the impact of the two thousand cavalry was like a rush. There was no more thing in front of us, only the figures of cavalry that covered the sky and the sun.

Behind him, the roar of the crossbow was heard sharply, and hundreds of crossbow arrows passed over the heads of the infantry in front and flew out, and some riots occurred in the cavalry, and dozens of cavalry fell off the horse, but among the two thousand cavalry, this little manpower was really insignificant.

After two hundred steps, Yan Meizhang on the Jiang Shang jumped a little. At this moment, one tripping rope after another suddenly popped up on the flat ground.

In an instant, people were on their backs and horses were overturned.

"Strike!" Jiang Shangyan spit out a word.

Among the Baoqing camp's team, hundreds of tall and long men trotted out, holding sharp spears in their hands, accelerating and swinging their arms. The spear drew a wonderful curve, and the spear rod rotated, stabbing the chaotic cavalry group.
