Chapter 2016 Battle of Xing Tian (Part 1)
Chapter 2014: Battle of Xingtian (Part 1)
The arrival of Han Xin''s 70,000 Hebei Army and the 30,000 Hetao Army of Zhao''s army has brought the total strength of the Qin army on the front line to 170,000. Although it is still less than that of the Shu and Chu coalition forces, the gap in force has narrowed to 30,000.
Although the Qin army was 30,000 fewer than the coalition forces, Yue Fei was still sure of victory, and his confidence was naturally in the cavalry.
With Zhao Yun''s 30,000 Hetao Iron Cavalry, the total number of Qin cavalry rose to 40,000.
Although the total number of cavalry of the Shu-Chu coalition army was 35,000, its combat power was not as good as that of the Qin army.
Zhao Yun''s 30,000 Hetao Iron Cavalry are elite cavalry galloping on the grassland, and have defeated powerful troops such as the Yuanmeng Iron Cavalry and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. To be honest, it is one of the top cavalry in the world.
The cavalry formed by Shu and Chu countries were not formed for a long time, and the two had not fought a strong battle. The tactics of the three cavalry remained in the past, and there was still a long distance to go from the elite cavalry, so how could it be the opponent of the Hetao Iron Cavalry?
Yue Fei was able to compete head-on with the 30,000 cavalry of the Beiwei Army and 7,000 Jingzhou Iron Cavalry. Now the total number of cavalry under his command has soared to 40,000, so how could he lose to the 35,000 cavalry of the coalition?
Of course, in addition to Han Xin, whose cavalry and military tactics are not inferior to his own, the ones that Yue Fei is most attracted to were Jiang Song, Yuwen Chengdu, Zhao Yun and other powerful generals.
Why have the Qin army been suppressed and beaten by the Shu-Chu coalition before? In addition to the absolute disadvantage of military strength, the Qin army is far inferior to the coalition forces in terms of generals.
There are two super **** generals on Shu and Chu, two war god-level generals, namely Liu Ji''s account: Xing Tian, ??Houyi, Kuafu, and Chongheihu under Liu Xiu''s account.
The Qin army only had two gods of war, Yue Yun and Pei Yuanqing. Even if the main general Yue Fei was added, there were only three gods of war.
In addition, although there were Qin Qiong, Yuchi Gong, Wenpin, Yang Zaixing and others in the Qin army in Jingzhou, there were also powerful generals such as Peng Yue, Fan Kuai, Ma Yuan, and Wei Wentong among the coalition forces.
The number of generals at the level of the god-general is similar, but in terms of top-level generals, the coalition forces are much stronger than the Qin army.
Xing Tian alone is an opponent that Yue Yun, Pei Yuanqing, Qin Yong and Xiong Tianqing cannot win even if they join forces. If the war begins, who should resist the other enemy generals?
In the Jingbei War, the Qin army suffered more casualties than the coalition forces. In addition to having fewer troops than the coalition forces, it is also a major reason why the generals are inferior to the coalition forces.
Now Han Xin has led reinforcements to Jingbei, and there are many masters among the reinforcements.
Not only are there two super gods, Jiang Song and Yuwen Chengdu, but also four gods of war, Zhao Yun, Huang Tianhua, Huang Tianxiang and Huang Tianlu. In addition, there are Huang Zhong, Zheng Lu, Chen Qi and other gods.
Let’s put it this way, it turns out that the Qin army was at a disadvantage in terms of generals, but with the generals of Han Xin’s reinforcements, the final shortcomings were completely made up, so naturally there was nothing to fear the Shuchu coalition.
Yue Fei wanted to hold a reception banquet for Han Xin, so he immediately took the lead in attacking, but he didn''t expect that before he could take action, the Chu and Shu coalition forces took the initiative to attack.
"Grandmaster, Shu general Xing Tian led three thousand troops and was calling out outside the camp."
Hearing this, Yue Fei and Han Xin put down their wine glasses at the same time. Han Xin said, "I heard that Xing Tian, ??the most powerful general in Shu Kingdom, ranks fourth in the list of military generals, but his strength is not weaker than the second and third in the list. I don''t know whether this rumor is true or false."
Yue Fei replied with a serious expression: "Although Xing Tian lost to Li Yuanba, the gap between the two is actually not big. Now Xing Tian has made a breakthrough again, and his strength is even worse than before, but it is difficult to compare now."
Yue Fei''s bad comparison refers to Xing Tian''s strength improving, but Li Yuanba retreated instead of advancing because of his broken arm''s strength, implying that Li Yuanba is no longer Xing Tian''s opponent.
"We have fought with the enemy several times before, and our army has all had strong generals. We have fought four battles, one battles, one battles, and even one battles in seven battles, but we still haven''t defeated Xing Tian..."
Four battles and one refers to the first battle between the Four Mights and Eight Hammers and Xing Tian. The Four Mights and Eight Hammers were defeated miserably. If Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong had not supported him in time, someone would have died on the spot. Although no one died in this battle, Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong were seriously injured and could no longer experience the fierce battle, so Yue Fei transferred Qin Qiong to the rear to guard Xinye.
Five battles and one, in addition to four fierce and eight hammers, even Yue Fei himself took action himself, but it was still useless and was no match for the five people.
In the seven battles, four fierce and eight hammers were on the first step to consume Xing Tian''s strength. Then Yue Fei, Yang Zaixing and Wen Pin attacked, trying to take advantage of the situation to defeat Xing Tian, ??but Xing Tian was not without helpers, so in the end he was in high school because of failure, and general Wen Pin withdrew due to serious injuries.
At this moment, a hint of hatred flashed in Yue Fei''s eyes and he gritted his teeth and said, "It is precisely because of Xing Tian that our army paid an extremely painful price. If this person does not die, there will be no peace in Jingzhou."
Hearing Yue Fei''s words, the reinforcements all took a breath.
The surrendered generals did not know how powerful Yue Fei and Pei Yuanqing and others were, so they were not deeply touched by what Yue Fei said, but veterans such as Jiang Song, Yuwen Chengdu, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong knew it.
Yue Fei, Yue Yun, Pei Yuanqing, Yang Zaixing and others are not weak. So many experts join forces but cannot beat Xing Tian? Such combat power is simply terrifying.
Even Jiang Song, the most powerful among the generals, could not withstand the siege of so many masters, but Xing Tian resisted it. It can be seen that Xing Tian''s strength is still above Jiang Song. The only person in the Qin army who can defeat him in a single battle is probably Li Cunxiao.
"There is such a master in the little Shu Kingdom." Han Xin couldn''t help but exclaim.
Yue Fei shook his head and said, "Like Houyi, Xing Tian, ??were both pillars of the Han Dynasty during the late emperor''s reign, and were not powerful generals in Yizhou."
Han Xin''s face froze, "Last Emperor?" This is a person he doesn''t want to mention. No one has mentioned it to him for a long time, but he doesn''t expect that he will be mentioned here today.
Han Xin once wanted to support the passionate young man of the Han Dynasty. He fought for the Han Dynasty and the Xianbei on the front line, but was betrayed by the monarch Liu Hong. He obviously made great contributions in winning the battle, but this foolish monarch wanted to use his life to please the Xianbei.
As soon as this incident happened, Han Xin no longer had any loyalty to the Han Dynasty and hated Liu Hong to the core.
Today, Liu Hong has long passed away, and the Han Dynasty has split into many countries. The Xianbei was also destroyed by the Yuan and Meng and the Qing dynasties, but Han Xin is still alive.
"Liu Hong, the account between you and me is not over. Since I can''t seek revenge on you, I will settle the score for your son." Han Xin sneered in his heart.
At this moment, Han Xin was even more grateful to Li Jing. If he hadn''t asked him to lead the army south to support Jingzhou, he would probably never have the chance to take revenge in his life.
