Chapter 153 War

When Deng Xiang led the army to rush up, Lu Qiang, who was in the camp, had been watching on the watchbench with fear.

In fact, he could have led the army in this battle, but with the increasing power, he no longer needs to come forward in person.

And this scene is undoubtedly a kind of exercise for Deng Xiang and the cavalry. He believes that after this battle, Jingzhou iron riders will really grow up.

Lu Qiang was not the only one who was nervous. Yao Chong was also surprised after receiving the news that the Jingzhou army was going to fight. He immediately mobilized people to prepare to meet the cavalry outside.

Following Lu Qiang's appearance, Yao Chong also stepped on the watch platform at the first time and looked at the battlefield. It didn't matter, and he immediately took a breath of air.

It was not until this moment that Yao Chong saw the elite of Jingzhou Iron Rider with his own eyes and knew that the rumors were true.

The cavalry brought by Yao Chong this time can also be called elite, but they have been delayed by Jingzhou's military plan for a day, and their spirit has been exhausted. In addition, they are too underestimated by the enemy.

Have you ever thought that the Jingzhou army with only a few thousand cavalry would fight against them with cavalry? In particular, what they didn't expect was the shooting, which was their nightmare.

After being shot, the team suddenly became chaotic. At this time, Deng Xiang, who was as good at martial arts as Lu Qiang, rushed into the array like a killing god, immediately making the already scattered formation more chaotic.

After all, the Qin cavalry had to outperform the Jiangnan armies that Jingzhou Army had fought against in the past. When the general saw that Jingzhou's iron cavalry was so arrogant, they suddenly became angry and met Deng Xiang with their own guards, and the iron horses of the two armies also fought in a scuffle.

It's just that this kind of melee did not last much, because the general of the Qin army, who had big teeth and claws, did not survive three rounds in front of Deng Xiang and was picked down by Deng Xiang.

The main general was killed and became the last straw to overwhelm the Qin cavalry.

Drowsmanship, drowsiness, and psychological pressure made the Qin cavalry, which originally had more troops than the iron horse of Jingzhou, begin to retreat after supporting for a long time.

When Yao Chong saw this scene at a high place, he could no longer describe his mood as surprise. The so-called defeat was like a mountain, not to mention the same cavalry.

Yao Chong has been fighting for a long time and knows that if reinforcements are sent out at this time, he may have to be confused by his own people before they meet the enemy.

So Yao Chong ordered to open the camp door and empty all the messy things in front of the camp door to let the defeated soldiers enter smoothly. At the same time, he sent archers to be on strict alert on the fence. As long as the Jingzhou army dared to approach, thousands of arrows would be fired.

Unfortunately, Lu Qiang knew that the number of cavalry was limited and could not withstand consumption, so he accepted it as soon as he saw it was good. Seeing that Deng Xiang defeated the Qin army, he immediately stopped his army.

In order to prepare for the Qin army's pursuit when Deng Xiang retreated, Lu Qiang also sent 3,000 crossbows to take over Deng Xiang.

In this way, the first battle of the two armies ended with the victory of the Jingzhou army, but the Qin army did not lose much. Although it damaged nearly a thousand cavalry, it did not hurt their muscles and bones.

After Deng Xiang and others returned to the camp, the Jingzhou camp was full of joy and thunder, sweeping the nervous and fear when they began to see the Qin army's iron horse.

And this is what Lu Qiang really wants.

After writing a contribution for Deng Xiang, he was ordered to take the soldiers back to the camp to rest. The war has just begun. Although he defeated the Qin army just now, he also suffered a lot of damage and urgently needed to rest and supplement.

Compared with the joy of Jingzhou Camp, Qin Jun Camp is another scene.

5,000 iron riders were defeated by 3,000 cavalry. Needless to say, the soldiers themselves felt ashamed, but the soldiers were not afraid of Jingzhou people because of this, because everyone knew that their defeat was not inferior to their skills. It was really that the Jingzhou army was too cunning.

At this time, in the account of the Chinese army, the generals of the Qin army were also quarreling. There was only one central idea, which was to immediately send troops to wipe out the Jingzhou army and kill Lu Qiang.

They lost!

Yao Chong is not as impulsive as the generals, and those who don't plan a corner are not enough to plan the overall situation. In today's battle alone, he has made him feel that Lu Qiang is afraid of the most difficult opponent he has encountered.

However, in today's battle, he would like to thank Lu Qiang, because he felt that his morale was unprecedentedly high. The southern soldiers were weak and their fighting power was not as good as that of the northern soldiers. Although there was a small defeat, he was confident that he would defeat the Jingzhou army next time.

Stop the excitement of the generals, glanced at the generals with dignity, and said in a low voice, "I have decided to invite Lu Qiang children to fight tomorrow, and the generals will go back to the camp to prepare. Be sure to let the brothers know that the iron horse of my Qin Empire is unstoppable."

"Follow the command of the general"

The generals responded, and then turned back to arrange for the soldiers to prepare for tomorrow's decisive battle.

Yao Chong pondered for a moment, wrote a war letter to Lu Qiang, ordered someone to send to the Jingzhou camp, and told his subordinates to deliver the letter. When they arrived at the Jingzhou camp, they must do enough etiquette and don't let Lu Qiang laugh at Qin Jun for not being polite.

Of course, the messenger can't pick up that kind of belligerent type, so when Lu Qiang saw this polite messenger, he had a deeper understanding of Yao Chong.

He ordered someone to pour a bowl of water for the soldier and asked him to sit down, but the soldier refused to sit down. Obviously, he did not expect the commander of the Jingzhou Army to be so kind.

Of course, Lu Qiang's attitude has his purpose, and he is not in a hurry to read the letter, but chats with the soldiers.

smiled and said, "Little brother, you are a few years younger than me. What's your name? How many years have you been in the army? Who else is there at home?

The soldier was a little flattered and hurriedly said, "Go back to the general's words, the villain Zeng Xiaowen, who just joined the army last year, has an old mother and a sister at home."

This soldier named Zeng Xiaowen is very beautiful. Yao Chong can put him beside him as a personal soldier, which should also be more pleasing to him. Although the young man is very quiet, his adaptability is obviously insufficient.

Lu Qiang nodded and said, "Brother Zeng, hehe! Don't be afraid. I don't mean to call you that. I just want you must be a Han Chinese. It's inevitable that the Han people in the world are kind when they meet on the battlefield. By the way, how are the Han people in Chang'an doing? Have you been bullied by aliens?

"There were before, but since the new emperor ascended the throne, this kind of thing has been much less. Your Majesty has also opened a college specializing in teaching criminal law in Chang'an and hired many great scholars to lecture. After graduation, students can go to various places as prison officers specializing in criminal law."

Zeng Xiaowen said with an envious face, and it can be seen that he is also very yearning for reading.

After listening to Zeng Xiaowen's words, Lu Qiang's heart couldn't help sinking. They all said that hooligans were not terrible, but they were afraid that hooligans were educated. These alien monarchs occupied the place of the Han people, but they became popular and began to know how to treat the Han people well. In the long run, the hearts of the people will return, and it will be difficult to take back.

ordered someone to reward Zeng Xiaowen. After reading Yao Chong's war letter, he sent him back and asked him to tell Yao Chong that he would fight on time.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and Lu Qiang ordered the generals to discuss the matter.

In addition to Zhao Lunwen, Zhou Kui and Deng Xiang, the generals gathered in Hulugu Camp this time also have many rising stars in the army.

For example, Kua En, Bao Hu in the Xunyang Army, Wen Chumao in the Guangzhou Army, Shi Yanzu, etc. These people are not very old, but they are the best in the army.

Lu Qiang's men are now full of talents.

After the generals arrived, Lu Qiang circulated Yao Chong's challenge to the generals, and then said, "Tomorrow's battle must be fought, but I also want to hear your opinions on how to fight."

Wang Dan followed him as a soldier this time, but compared with the generals, his qualifications were still short, so when Lu Qiang did not ask him, he always kept silent.

Zhao Lunwen and Zhou Kai were relatively heavy and did not speak first. However, Deng Xiang, who had just made a contribution, was young and spoke first.

"Your Excellency Qin's army is not as strong as you think. At the end of tomorrow, you will be willing to take Yao Chong's head and give it to your lord."

Lu Qiang stared at him coldly and said, "Do you think Qin Jun is papery? If you dare to talk nonsense again, you will be removed from the position of deputy commander of the cavalry."

Deng Xiang was sweated by what Lu Qiang said. He knew that it was his arrogance that angered Lu Qiang. He quickly bowed and said, "The last general knows his mistake. Please punish him."

Lu Qiang looked a little better and said, "Since ancient times, the proud soldiers will be defeated. In a small battle, the Qin army has not hurt their muscles and bones at all. If the whole army thinks like you, we will definitely be defeated in the next battle."

Of course, Lu Qiang's words were not said to Deng Xiang alone. The generals understood and bowed together.

Zhao Lunwen got up and said, "Your Excellency, I think that our Jingzhou iron horse, as a strange soldier, must be used on the blade, so in tomorrow's battle, my subordinates want to fight with chariots, with chariots on both sides, guarding left and right, and the middle army with long spearmen in front, bow and crossbow hands behind. I don't know what the adults think?"

In the plain battle, the infantry suffers too much. If they can offset the impact of the horses with chariots, they may change the situation.

Lu Qiang also thought of the chariot. He was thinking that if the Chinese army could not resist the impact of the Qin army, it would inevitably bring a chain reaction. Will the chariots on both sides be divided and surrounded without the protection of the Chinese army?

After meditating for a moment, he turned his head to look at Wang Dan, where the old god was there, and said, "What does Lord Wang think?"

Wang Dan heard Lu Qiang's question and said with a smile, "I don't think it's necessary to fight with the Qin army. I just need to drag it in Hulugu. It doesn't take too long. The Qin army will retreat, and that's the time for our army to attack with all its strength."

Lu Qiang knew that Wang Dan's brain was inclined to Xie Lao Fox, and it was always unreasonable to think about things.

Zhou Kui's brain was relatively simple and asked directly, "Lord Wang, you might as well say it directly. The brothers are all waiting!"

"Qin's army came from afar, and the food and fodder had to rely on the support of the rear, and Xiangyang and they did not take it. In this case, how can they persist for a long time? Therefore, Yao Chong is eager to fight. It is in line with Yao Chong's intention to go to war, so his subordinates think it's just to ignore him."

Zhou Kui frowned and said, "Our army has just won a battle, and we still need to fight while the iron is still hot. How do you know that our army can't defeat the Qin army with one breath?"

Wang Dan rolled his eyes and said, "General Zhou, the Qin army has 10,000 iron horses. How can our army defeat them in one breath? Soldiers, sophism, victory is the most important thing"

Lu Qiang understood that Wang Dan's last sentence was for direct listening. He also knew that what Wang Dan said was reasonable, and even said that it was the wisest choice, but he had just agreed to Yao Chong. Do you want people to say that they didn't believe what they said?

You should know that people in this era value reputation very much.

Wight or not?

Lu Qiang couldn't help frowning.
