Chapter 117 Duel of Two Heroes (Part 5)
On the mountain.
Jiang Wei stood on the rock with a few personal guards, smiling as he looked down at the banner with the character "Yang".
He flicked his brocade robe behind him, gripped the hilt of his sword with his left hand, and laughed, "Yang Xin, what a brat. You actually dare to chase after me."
"Pass down the order to defeat Yang Xin's forces. Advance into the valley and kill Qian Hong and Wang Qi."
"Yes, sir." A messenger below the rock perked up and went down to relay the order.
The guards and soldiers around him were also in high spirits and excited. As long as the general was there, they dared to do anything.
"Beat the drums to cheer them on!" Jiang Wei waved his hand and gave the order again.
"Thump thump thump!!!!!!!!!"
"Waaaaah!!!!"
Jiang Wei didn't bring many drums, but the strong drummers struck the large cowhide drums with all their might, producing a thunderous booming sound.
Two horn blasts: one carrying the horn in front, and the other puffing out his cheeks and chest, blowing the horn with all his might.
Drums and horns sounded, and the battle cries shook the heavens.
"Kill!!!!" The generals on both sides of the mountain road roared and led their elite troops to attack Yang Xin's troops from the high ground.
"Whoosh whoosh!!!!"
The Han army's archers fired arrows at the Wei army without restraint. The Wei army, in turn, relied on the rocks and trees to defend themselves.
Wei archers and crossbowmen occasionally peeked out to launch counterattacks.
"Aaaaaah!!!!"
The screams of archers and crossbowmen who had been killed echoed one after another. Countless people were killed or wounded, and the blood that flowed out stained the rocks and splashed onto the trees.
"kill!!!!!"
The Han army descended like tigers from the mountains; one after another, strong and powerful warriors, clad in heavy armor and wielding long halberds, charged towards the heavily armored Wei soldiers.
Like a raging flood, it crashed into the dam and caused damage.
With a deafening roar, the sound was deafening.
"Kill!!!!" Whether it was the Wei army or the Han army, they fell like shooting stars from the sky, row upon row, in large swaths, onto the hillside, some even rolling down and crashing heavily to the ground.
Countless people died, and more than half of them died with their eyes wide open in disbelief.
Driven by their fierce courage, they slaughtered the enemy. Some perished, others perished.
kill!!!!!!!!!
In general.
Yang Xin's 5,000-strong Wei army was no match for Jiang Wei's elite troops, but the difference wasn't significant.
However, if the battle drags on for too long, Yang Xin's troops will surely collapse.
Under the banner bearing the character "Yang," Yang Xin's expression turned more serious than ever before. He asked the guard on his left, "When will General Deng's troops arrive?"
"At least a quarter of an hour," the guard replied. He and the guards around him also looked solemn, their blood boiling, their adrenaline surging, and even their bodies trembling.
They are ready to answer the call to war and rush to the battlefield.
Yang Xin's expression remained unchanged, but he inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he wanted Jiang Wei's head, he was still apprehensive about facing Jiang Wei alone. Fortunately, Deng Ai was arriving soon.
"Divide into two groups to block Jiang Wei's army. Once General Deng arrives, we can kill Jiang Wei," Yang Xin ordered.
"yes.
"6
Yang Xin's hundreds of personal guards responded loudly, and then split into two to fill the gaps on the left and right, using their lives to reinforce Jiang Wei's army.
Under the banner bearing the character "Yang," Yang Xin defended himself with a horse spear, with only a dozen or so men remaining by his side to serve him.
"Kill!!!!!!!!!" In that instant, both Wei and Han soldiers were brimming with energy, but as the adrenaline subsided, they became numb. This was largely a result of their daily training and the combat experience honed through countless battles.
To kill the enemy with precision, and to be killed by the enemy in the process.
A battle that resembled a machine.
Vibrant faces turned into faces of death with unseeing eyes.
One by one, the brave warriors became the corpses beneath the feet of both armies.
Under the banners of "Jiang" and "Han," Jiang Wei's face lit up with a joyful smile; in that instant, he felt the thrill of victory.
Yang Xin, a mere child, was indeed no match for him.
Yang Xin's troops are on the verge of collapse.
Inside the valley, the Han army, composed of five generals including Lu Qubing, fought fiercely against the Wei army's two commandery governors, with neither side gaining the upper hand.
As long as Yang Xin is killed, he can lead his troops into the valley and kill the two prefects. As for Deng Ai... he can't kill him.
"Why isn't General Deng here yet?!" Yang Xin's troops were indeed on the verge of collapse. Even Yang Xin himself dismounted, abandoned his long spear, drew his ring-pommel sword, and led his remaining dozen or so personal guards into the battlefield to stop the Han army.
Yang Xin personally killed five people. Sweat and blood streamed down his face and into his collar, making him feel sticky and uncomfortable. His heart pounded, and his eyes trembled. He felt as if each day was an eternity, and he cried out in his heart, "Why hasn't Deng Ai arrived yet?"
Seeing that they had gained a significant advantage, the Han army's morale soared. Drummers and buglers played their instruments with all their might.
The sound of drums and horns was like a death warrant from the King of Hell, signaling the end to the Wei soldiers. It even temporarily drowned out the sound of the raging wind.
Heaven does not protect the Han people!
"Kill!!!!!" Just when the situation was looking promising, a roar of killing came from the west.
The morale of both armies was immediately reversed.
The morale of the Han soldiers was dampened, while the morale of the Wei soldiers soared.
"Kill!!!!!!!!!!" The Han general at the front raised his spear and used his body as a pawn, fighting desperately forward, trying to crush Yang Xin's troops in this final moment.
Even if it means dying on the battlefield, even if it means being wrapped in a horse's hide.
This was a great victory, and also their chance to return to Hanzhong; if they missed it, it would be gone forever.
"kill!!!!!!"
The general was valiant, and the soldiers fought with their lives. Their blood, which had just cooled, surged wildly once more, transforming into ferocious tigers.
"There's still time. Kill Yang Xin!" Jiang Wei could no longer remain calm and shouted from his high position.
"Kill!!!!!" Hearing the shouts of the reinforcements, the Wei army's morale soared, and they desperately tried to stop the Han army.
"I am Deng Zhong, soldiers at the front need not panic."
The reinforcements were led by Deng Zhong.
Deng Zhong, clad in heavy armor, sat astride a chestnut horse, his voice booming like a bell, and held a gleaming lance as he shouted.
"Kill!!!!!!!!!" At the most critical moment, Deng Zhong charged into the battlefield and helped Yang Xin stabilize the situation.
Immediately afterwards, Deng Ai's main force appeared on the mountain road, joined forces with the generals, and engaged in a fierce battle with Jiang Wei.
The two sides had roughly equal numbers of troops, and the battle raged on until the sun and moon seemed to dim.
Jiang Wei's victory vanished.
But Jiang Wei did not fail.
What began as a skirmish turned into a protracted battle. The Han and Wei armies clashed relentlessly in the valley, with brave warriors falling like moths to a flame, their bodies reduced to corpses.
Valley mouth.
Jiang Weijun and Deng Aijun engaged in hand-to-hand combat, and the dead were enough to fill the mountain road.
"kill!!!!!!!!!"
The bald creature in the sky kept letting out high-pitched cries, it was extremely excited and ready to fall down and have a feast at any moment.
The tiger and the wolf, sensing fear, quietly retreated.
This slaughter was too horrific, beyond the comprehension of even wild beasts.
Jiang Wei had experienced countless battles like this. His hair had also turned from completely black to completely white.
He dedicated everything to the Han Dynasty.
But luck wasn't on his side.
Just like this time.
Jiang Wei remained silent, looking up at the sky. His aged face showed signs of decline, and he sighed softly in his heart.
They could only fight until nightfall, and then get rid of Deng Ai.
