Chapter 296: Fallen Hero [Two in One](2/2)
Seeing this, Tong Xin, another commander of the Huben Guards, shouted loudly: "Abandon the shield and hold the sword with both hands!"
After shouting, he dropped the iron shield in his hand and held the saber with both hands tightly. Just like Chu Heng did just now, he circled around and slashed with all his strength. There was only a bang sound, and the spear in the hand of a cavalry was chopped off.
, and the remaining force of the sword was used to cut the cavalryman and horse in half, causing a pile of red and white things to splash all over Tong Xin's body.
"What?!"
The nearby cavalry were greatly shocked. Only then did they notice that all of the Wei troops in front of them were holding terrifying weapons that were as unique as that reckless man. They couldn't understand why these ordinary Wei soldiers were also holding weapons.
Possessing the terrifying power to make them 'break their men and horses into pieces'.
"kill!"
After throwing away the shields in their hands, the five hundred Tiger Guards instead attacked the two to three hundred cavalrymen. Only the flash of swords and shadows of swords and blood burst out. The Chu cavalrymen were chopped by the terrifying knives in the hands of the Wei soldiers.
He broke his weapon and watched himself being hacked to death by random knives.
In less than half a cup of tea, there were only sixty or seventy of the three hundred guards under Xiang Kuan's command, and the number was still decreasing rapidly.
On the other hand, the Tiger Guards, who relied on their superior weapons, had almost no casualties, with only twenty or thirty people in total.
“Wonderful! So wonderful!”
Zhai Huang, the general of Tiance Mansion, couldn't help stroking his hands and praising him.
He was from the Shang Shui Army, but after seeing the terrifying explosive power of these five hundred Tiger Guards today, he suddenly felt that the combat effectiveness of his Shang Shui Army might not be that strong - in fact, he even felt that
, on the contrary, these tiger guards are even better.
After listening to Zhai Huang's emotion, Zhao Run smiled slightly.
It is undeniable that the lethality of the Huben Imperial Guards equipped with the new type of sword is indeed greater than that of the old elites such as the Shangshui Army, Yanling Army, and Wei Wujun. But in fact, strictly speaking, the new type of sword is equipped with a sword.
The Wei soldiers with sabers can only be used as surprise soldiers at best. Try to let them stare at the enemy's arrows and charge into the battle? I'm sure they will die without leaving any residue.
The real backbone of the Wei army is still the regular heavy infantry holding a shield in one hand and a sword in the other. They can deal with most emergencies. They have good performance against cavalry, crossbowmen and infantry.
and stable performance.
While Zhao Run was discussing with Zhai Huang about this new type of sword, Xiang Juan, who was in the distance, also noticed the tragic situation here, and couldn't help but open his eyes wide, showing a little shock again.
He was shocked that it was not just the reckless man in front of him who was equipped with such terrible weapons. In fact, the five hundred Wei soldiers in the distance were all holding the same weapons as the reckless man Chu Heng; and besides this shock,
, he was even more shocked that the three hundred guards under his command were killed by the Wei army in less than half a cup of tea, and only sixty or seventy of them were left.
What else is there to talk about "killing Wei King Zhao Run"?
This is simply a desperate situation where even self-protection is a problem!
Thinking of this, Xiang Mo took two steps with his legs crossed, trying to rush past Chu Heng and go to kill Wei Wang Zhao Run in person.
However, what greeted him was Chu Heng's vigorous blow.
"clang!"
There was a sound of metal clashing, accompanied by a burst of fire.
Immediately, Chu Heng was seen retreating continuously, and finally he managed to stop his retreat by hitting the ground with the sword in his hand. Xiang Juan was also forced to retreat two or three steps with his horse, and his body shook for a while.
He clamped his legs tightly around the horse's belly, and he might be thrown off the horse.
"hateful!"
Xiang Juan's face finally changed color.
Perhaps this was the first time in his half-life that he had been forced to retreat like this. What made him even more ashamed was that he still had the strength of his horse, while the damn reckless man opposite him really relied on his own strength.
Xiang Kuan shouted unconvinced: "If Xiang hadn't come all the way to kill me, how could I have been forced to retreat by you?"
"..."
Chu Heng blinked, then nodded, and said angrily: "That's probably true. You are the most powerful person I have ever encountered..."
"He actually approved of this?"
Xiang Kuan opened his mouth, almost holding in his internal injuries.
Logically speaking, in this situation, the other party should refute and ridicule, right? Why did he actually agree with what he said?
How incompetent is this guy’s brain?!
However, at this moment, Chu Heng said in a deep voice: "Although you are very powerful, I still will not give in...I will not let you go!"
"..."
Xiang Kuan pursed her lips and stared at Chu Heng for a long time, then swung her knife to kill him again.
As the saying goes, it's enough to say nothing without speculation. There really isn't much to say to such a reckless man.
But what makes Xiang Kuan angry is that although the reckless man opposite him seems to have a hard-headed mind at first glance, his brute strength is really beyond words, coupled with the extraordinary lethality of the sword in his hand.
Xiang Juan fought with him for more than ten rounds, but he still couldn't get rid of him.
Seeing this, Xiang Juan had a thought in his mind: Why should I get entangled with this reckless man? Just bypass him and go straight to kill Wei Wang Zhao Run!
However, just when Xiang Juan took action, his expression suddenly became extremely different.
Because he suddenly realized that Xiang Juan, a dignified man, was actually wary of the reckless man opposite him, and even wanted to avoid his sharp edge.
"Are you kidding! I am Xiang Juan! Xiang Juan, the most powerful general in Chu!"
Thinking of this, Xiang Kuan gritted his teeth and swung the knife with all his strength, causing Chu Heng to take several steps back.
"This man's strength seems to have increased a lot all of a sudden..."
Chu Heng thought in surprise.
At this time, Xiang Kuan pointed at Chu Heng with the tip of the long-handled sword in his hand, and shouted sternly: "Chu Heng is a common man, Xiang will kill you first, and then kill the king of your country!"
Hearing that Xiang Kuan actually said that he wanted to kill Zhao Run, the king of Wei, Chu Heng was furious. He was not good at words and used the powerful chop in his hand to express his thoughts: delusion!
Seeing the two men fighting each other, the Wei soldiers near the formation were amazed.
During this period, Zhai Huang said in confusion: "It's strange, why didn't this prostitute commit suicide himself, but insisted on entangled with General Chu Heng? Couldn't he see that it would be difficult for him to defeat General Chu Heng even in a short while?"
"Maybe it's because of the pride in my heart...stupid pride." Zhao Run shook his head, and then said: "But having said that, even if Xiang Kuan committed suicide here, he would only die in the hands of the Huben guards...
… He thinks that with only three hundred cavalry, he can disrupt our army's main formation and force me to flee in panic. Humph, he really underestimates the soldiers of Wei Dynasty."
Zhai Huang nodded in agreement. He also felt that Xiang Juan used tens of thousands of Zhaoguan troops as bait to deceive the Luoyang Imperial Guards led by Wei Jiao. This was very admirable. However, after that, he led only three hundred
The cavalry tried to defeat the 500 Tiger Guards here, but this would be to underestimate the Wei army.
"Speaking of which, can General Chu Heng defeat Xiang Juan?" Zhai Huang asked with some concern.
Zhao Run frowned slightly when he heard this, shook his head and said: "The longer it takes, the less likely it is that Chu Heng will defeat Xiang Juan... hmm?"
Just as he said this, he suddenly saw a group of cavalry galloping in the distance. The cavalry commander at the head seemed to be the supervisor of the Jijiao Cavalry, Bosile.
"What is he going to do?"
Seeing Bosile in the distance riding his horse directly towards Chu General Xiang Kuan, Zhao Run's heart moved slightly: Could it be...
After a while, Zhao Run's guess came true. Bosile was seen galloping towards Xiang Juan, and the scimitar in his hand was swung towards the latter's neck.
Fortunately, Xiang Juan realized the threat behind him in time and leaned back suddenly, narrowly avoiding Bosile's blow. Otherwise, the head at this moment would have been chopped off by Bosile.
.
"whispering sound!"
Glancing contemptuously at Bosile, who failed in his sneak attack, Xiang Kuan sneered: "Do you think you can kill Xiang with such a despicable trick as sneak attack from behind?"
Bosile replied coldly: "If I can kill you and avenge my subordinates who have followed me for more than ten years, so what if I am despicable?"
"oh?"
Xiang Kuan looked Bosile up and down and asked casually: "Did one of your generals die in Xiang's hands?"
"Ah! When you attacked Changyi!" Bosile said with a gloomy look.
Hearing this, Xiang Kuan laughed loudly and said: "I, Xiang Kuan, have killed countless enemies in my life. Do you still expect Xiang to remember the faces of those people?"
"You guy!"
Bosile was furious when he heard this and immediately wanted to ride his horse forward.
Seeing this, Xiang Juan glanced at Chu Heng, who was watching eagerly from the side, and hummed: "It's okay even if I add you..."
Before he finished speaking, a loud shout came from the distance: "Xiang Kuan, my child, don't be so arrogant, today is the day you die!"
Everyone present turned around and saw that it was Wei Jiao, the commander of Luoyang Imperial Guard, who was leading a group of troops to support him. In addition to him, there were soldiers from Shangliang Marquis Zhao Anding, Zhou Ji and others.
Seeing this, the sixty or seventy surviving cavalrymen under Xiang Kuan's command were shocked. They quickly returned to Xiang Mo and persuaded: "General, please retreat quickly! With your bravery, you will definitely be able to break out of the siege! ... We are waiting for the original commander."
Cut off the queen for the general!"
"Brother has not sent reinforcements so far. It seems that there will be some major changes in the coalition forces... It will be difficult to defeat the Wei army in this battle."
Xiang Kuan looked at the direction of the coalition forces with a solemn expression.
Although he had noticed that he and others were once again surrounded by the Wei army, he did not panic at all. Hearing this, he said calmly: "Escape from the siege...do you think it sounds better than 'escape'?"
After saying that, he fixed his eyes on Wei Wang Zhao Run's car in the distance, and said lightly: "Among the words that Xiang recognized, there is no word "rout"..."
