My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 217: Iron hoof, conquering the Central Plains

The big flag with the word "Xia" on it, which was pitch black and embroidered with gold edges, was held by Dian Wei in one hand and held up between heaven and earth.

Su Chen was wearing a mountain armor with gold patterns and a white cloak. He was sitting on a horse. The black horse under him was swaying its mane anxiously. He reached out and stroked the horse's neck, feeling the warm wind in his ears. The sound of approaching horses' hooves and human footsteps.

The densely packed figures, like long winding dragons, came out of the military camp in an orderly manner and gathered on the field. At a certain moment, he opened his eyes, galloped across the team in front, and drew the Xia King Sword.

"All the soldiers——"

Su Chen mobilized his inner strength and burst out with a high-pitched sound. Countless figures, war horses, and cavalry on horseback stopped neatly at this sound, and dust swirled between the people and horses.

The wind blew over, and the filled dust swayed and twisted in the air, as if there were several phantoms in imperial clothes holding swords and spears, standing behind Su Chen, with solemn faces, calm and powerful, looking into the distance.

On top of the tall black war horse, Su Chen spurred the horse, spread its hooves and began to walk slowly.

"Just yesterday, the cavalry under Gu's command and your colleagues defeated 31 enemies in the plains of Linqiu. I am proud of them. I am an invincible soldier, but I have something to say. We still have many enemies waiting, including 100 Wei troops... Early this morning, Gu received news that [-] troops from Qi and Liang were already more than [-] miles northwest of us, not far from us. !”

In each team, the soldiers were silent or showed surprise on their faces, but without exception, all eyes were intertwined on King Xia on the black horse in front.

His voice was high and strong.

"The land we are standing on is the land of the Wei people. Their soldiers are everywhere on this land, and with the help of the other four countries, they have gathered 40 people, known as a million-strong army. How powerful it is! But! They don’t know that the invincible soldiers under Gu’s command have encountered many times the number of enemies!”

The black horse's hooves gradually accelerated. As Su Chen's majestic voice spread, his eyes gradually revealed a fiery ferocity. He slowly lowered the Xia Wang Sword, and his voice rose again.

"Since they don't know, then we will tell them clearly with the swords in our hands that no matter how huge the sheep are, they are all food for wolves, just dust under the iron hoofs-"

The long and wide sword body galloped along with the war horse. Su Chen held the king's sword and touched and clashed with the swords and spears extended by the soldiers in front of him. A series of crisp metal collisions spread out in front of the formation, shaking in the air. Everyone's heart.

The galloping horses passed through the front rows of the troops in front, and the king's sword was slanted and ran up the hill. The horizontal sword was immediately under the flag of the king with the word "Xia".

"now!"

The mighty King Sword was slowly raised above his head. Su Chen roared on the horse, and the high-pitched voice roared across the sky: "Hold the sharp blade in your hand, it will be our minions, and use their blood to water the land under your feet. This battle After that, I will wait for my descendants to take over the Central Plains!"

"Thousands of years, king!"

"Thousands of years, king!"

"Thousands of years, king!"

……

Thousands of soldiers were filled with excitement. They raised their weapons and roared with all their strength. Countless blades slapped their shields, and the spears stood on the ground.

The moment one sound after another shook the field like thunder, it was a majestic sound that seemed to tower over all living beings.

The words of Cao Cao, Li Shimin, Liu Bei, Zhu Di, Li Longji, and Liu Xie turned into Su Chen's voice, resounding throughout the world.

"- Let's go to war!"

Behind him, Guan Yu, Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Xia Houyuan, Gao Shun, Li Xuanba, Dian Wei, and many other generals lined up in the army. They looked at the man who raised the Xia King Sword and raised his voice. When he saw his figure, he felt the ambition of the other person to conquer the world, and the heart that had been silent for a long time seemed to have the excitement of following the lord to gallop around the world when he was young.

There was excitement on their faces, and the weapons in their hands were slowly raised above their heads. Almost at the same time, they followed the Xia King and let out a roar that resounded throughout the world.

In the vast wilderness, countless soldiers from Xiliang, Yizhou, Qingzhou, Youyan, and Bingzhou raised their weapons and smashed the ground, and huge roars swept the sky. "Start the war——"

In the blue sky, the huge eagle spread its wings and flew across the sky, making a majestic cry.

Murderous aura spread.

Su Chen was sitting on the horseback holding the hilt of his sword, looking at the thousands of cavalry and infantry roaring enthusiastically, his face was solemn, but not angry but powerful.

"Fenzhou's [-] innocent souls, just watch. The king of Wei is determined."

He murmured, and a row of generals standing behind him rushed out one by one to go to their respective armies. The flags standing in the forest moved with the sound of heavy footsteps.

Twenty thousand Xiliang troops and twenty thousand Qingzhou troops crossed the eastern boundary of Yangzhou, followed the hills there, and turned to fight south.Twenty thousand Yizhou troops entered from the east gate in a long queue, took over the defense of Guangfu City, and began to manufacture a large number of defense equipment. Guimen crossbows were placed at the top of the city, and twenty catapults were also deployed in the city.

And [-] Youyan troops were stationed two miles southwest of the city and began to build defensive camps, ravines, and horses. They recruited young men in the city to carry rocks and carve stone bullets.

Su Chen turned his horse's head and looked at Guan Yu, who was stroking his beard with his sword hanging, as well as Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other generals behind him.

"I'll leave it to General Guan and other generals from the rear."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, let's fight in the front. Guan will take good care of the rear!" Guan Yu held his sword in his hand on horseback.

Zhang Fei galloped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this is wrong. Why did you call my second brother? I will become you later."

"There are too many people. Calling them one by one will waste time." Su Chen laughed.

These words caused a burst of laughter from all the generals. Even Lu Bu couldn't help but smile, but he quickly endured it.

Soon, Su Chen finally raised his hand and bowed towards the generals such as Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, turned around and galloped towards the location of the Bingzhou Army. Then he dismounted, handed the reins to Wu Zixun, and walked onto the waiting ancestral hearse over there. , King Xia leaned his sword on one side and sat on the tiger chair with a golden sword.

"Let's go, don't keep Wei's sheep waiting!"

The cavalry galloped out and the horn sounded.

The banners of 'Bing' and 'Xia' were fluttering and fluttering, and the [-] Bingzhou troops marched forward one by one at the sound of orders, and the silent earth revived under the hooves of the horses.

Lu Bu was dressed in a beast-like armor, wearing a brocade red cloak. He looked at the advancing army and the wolf riders waiting for orders. There was a scornful power in his eyes. He slowly raised his halberd and said in a majestic voice: "Wolf" Change rides, follow me first!"

On the second day of July, Dong Zhuo and Xia Houyuan led a total of [-] troops from Xiliang and Qingzhou to march toward Yangzhou. At the same time, Ma Chao's Xiqiang flying cavalry swept Wei scouts and villages along the way, and continuously dispatched fast horses to maintain contact with the main force and correct the situation. The movement direction, on the fifth day of the lunar month, turned south, and the anti-siege battle gradually took shape.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, the [-] troops from Qi and Liang, who came from the northwest, cautiously arrived at Guangfu Shishili. There was no expected cavalry attack along the way. Instead, they met a troop of Yan troops at around Wuli. , the leading general, White Horse Silver Spear, did not launch an attack and confronted the opponent.

On the same day, the Bingzhou army rushed to the southern battlefield. The advance control wolf cavalry drove and chased the Wei scouts with a fierce attitude. They encountered a patrol of Yue soldiers and horses. Lu Bu led his army directly into this thousand-man patrol. , killed 800 people in one battle, and the rest fled.

Only a few days had passed since the defeat of [-] soldiers and horses in the three states of Wei State. The flames that were originally burning slowly suddenly seemed to have been poured into kerosene, and the plain north of Luyang exploded into flames.

When the news reached Luyang, Emperor Wei had finished rewarding the three armies. The capital allocated 5 troops and horses to Zhao Guangshi to control, together with his 16 Tiefeng Yijie Army, [-] troops from Sui and Qing Prefectures, and [-] Yue troops. The armies of Wu and Qi, totaling [-], went northward and formed an encirclement with the [-] troops of Qi and Liang who arrived at Guangfu City.

On July 2th, they encountered the Yan army with only [-] people, which made them doubtful.
