Whenever the soldiers are in chaos, heroes will always take advantage of the situation and work vigorously to achieve great things, so as to make themselves famous in history and even create an era of their own. Qin Feng is the role model for all the heroes who are willing to do something.

It took more than ten years to get from having nothing to owning a huge empire.

People who think they are heroes are always confident and proud. They always think that the times create heroes, not heroes create the times. The reason why they don’t get that opportunity is just because they are not lucky. If they have such opportunities, they will definitely do better than others.

They always only see the pride of those successful people standing at the peak, but forget to look at the bones of countless heroes lying under the proud and fulfilled success.

Just like the current Bao family and Cha family heads, they only saw that Qin Feng had built a powerful country in just ten years, but they did not see the heroes and heroes who fell on Qin Feng's way forward, Mo Luo, Luo Yishui, Wu Jian, and Ma Yue. Those who were not heroes for a while have not caused storms on this continent?

The state of Chu has fallen to its current state. In their opinion, it is the emperor's incompetence and the ministers' corpse and charity. If they did it themselves, they would definitely do it much better than them. There was no chance in the past, but now, the opportunity has come.

They formed a team that they thought was extremely strong and obtained countless excellent weapons. They built a fortress that they thought was extremely strong, and fantasized about taking this place as a starting point to guide the country and the land. The current ten thousand households are waiting for thousands of households.

The success of the ambush on the Ming army again and again made them full of energy. The so-called Ming army, which is victorious in every battle, isn't it? Look at the heads of their powerful soldiers, aren't they also hanging on the wall of their own fortress?

The reason why the Ming army won every battle was not because of how strong they were, but because their opponents were too weak, and that the officers of the court were all feasting for money. Now, it was the opportunity for their own success to become famous in one battle. Here, defeating the Ming army, allowing the emperors in the capital to see the abilities and great military achievements of their people, and then taking the opportunity to gain greater power, more armed forces, and even replace the status of some people like Sun Chenglong. In the future, who can say it correctly? Maybe they will become the national hero of the Great Chu to fight against the Ming army, and maybe they will replace them with the opportunity.

Such intimate thoughts are naturally not worthy of being told by outsiders. They can only look forward to it when the night is late, while drinking slowly.

The last Chu army stationed in Xingzhou was Sun Runze, the son of Sun Chenglong, the highest military commander of the Chu court in Xiangzhou. Letting his son still stand in front at the last moment is naturally a way for Sun Chenglong to increase morale. Of course, in other words, it is also the best way for his son to gain military merits and political capital. Fighting a battle with the Ming people, regardless of the outcome, will naturally be of great help to Sun Runze's future.

Of course, Sun Runze is not a fool. He is very clear about the situation he is facing now. As the supreme commander of the last army of the Chu army in Xingzhou, he has accumulated enough military merits. Over the past few days, every single victory of the Chu army will eventually become a certificate for him to become an award.

Regarding the battle with the Ming army to a death battle, he did not think that the power he had at hand was qualified. Of course, it would not be possible to retreat without fighting. On the other side of the Gaoliang River, countless Chu soldiers were watching, and in Shangjing, the emperor's eyes were also staring at.

Fighting a battle and then carefully retreating back to Xiangzhou was his plan for his last life in Xingzhou.

The idea of ​​Bao and Cha came to join forces to fight Jiang Shangyan with an ambush. In Sun Runze's opinion, it was simply a whimsical idea.

That was a cavalry of hundreds of battles. Erlong Mountain and Shituo Mountain, and they were indeed in a reverse shape, but there was a vast area of ​​dozens of miles between them. Do they have a total of 10,000 cavalry soldiers? Want to surround a cavalry with tens of thousands of people? Are these two people reading too many legendary stories or are they crazy?

Seeing the two heads of the family look full of confidence, not only Sun Runze wanted to laugh, but also when he met the two deputy generals together, he couldn't help laughing. He could only turn around and lower his head, and rubbed his sword hard with a piece of deer skin to cover up his incompetence.

"I'm afraid our troops are insufficient!" Sun Runze tried hard to calm himself and pretended to be seriously exploring military situation with the other party.

"The general only needs to lure them into this area and fight with them for a while. Our two families will naturally come out from both sides and surround them." The head of the Bao family waved his arms excitedly and said, "We Bao and Cha can dispatch an army of 50,000."

Sun Runze was startled by the number 50,000, but then he realized that the so-called 50,000 was probably all the people on hand now. The number of men, women, young and old is really there.

"Since both righteous men dared to fight with the enemy, I, Sun, became a national general, naturally there is no reason to avoid war. As we said, our troops will lure the enemy into this area, and then attack them from both sides." Sun Runze looked moved and slapped the table. "Everyone worked together, and they cut off gold, so they killed the enemy here to strengthen our army's reputation."

Seeing Sun Runze agreeing, both Bao and Cha were overjoyed.

"General Sun, we are determined to kill the enemy, but the equipment is still very simple now. Can you ask the general to support some of it?"

"No problem." Sun Runze agreed immediately, "You two want and lack whatever you want. As long as there is extra in my camp, even if you move there, you two have to send me a receipt. I can report the account to the court, otherwise the superiors would think I was corrupt."

Seeing these two people happily leaving here, Sun Runze's deputy general could no longer help: "General, we really want to fight a war with these idiots? They wouldn't think that the earlier ambush wars were the norm of war, right? What are the strangulations of those scouts?"

The smile on Sun Runze's face gradually restrained: "I know, they are just looking for death."

"Since that's the case, why doesn't the general stop them?" The deputy general looked confused.

Sun Runze said coldly: "There are always people who want to die. If they don't die, then we have to take it seriously to fight Jiang Shangyan here before we can leave. This is the task given to us by the general. If this happens, how many of us, the three thousand people, can still cross the river safely?"

The deputy general was stunned for a moment and suddenly reacted.

"The general is wise."

"They seek benevolence and get benevolence, so we will make their wishes come true." Sun Runze said coldly: "I advised them. Since they are determined to act alone, we cannot blame us. We also gave them as much help as possible. Send orders and prepare for battle. After this battle, we will retreat to Xiangzhou."

"Follow the order."

Three days later, Jiang Shangyan's main force appeared without any scruples on the battlefield that the other party hoped for. The Chu army lined up in the river with a rigorous lineup. At the front, rows of crossbows flashed with faint cold light, spearmen, swords and shields, crossbows, and even several stone catapults.

Looking at the crossbows lined up in front, the Ming army felt a little tooth pain. Speaking of which, these weapons were supported by the Ming Dynasty over the years. Although most of them were in the Jinghu War Zone, it seems that the Chu court has intercepted a lot of them after all.

The six thousand cavalry happened to stop at the edge of the range of the catapult. As a veteran of the hundred battles, they had the simplest intuition about the dangers on the battlefield. They could stop themselves naturally at the most critical point without ordering from the superior. Unless they needed to do so, they would never waste even a slight amount of troops for no reason.

Under the flag of the central army, drums rumbling. With the shouts, hundreds of cavalrymen crossed the formation and rushed towards the Chu army lineup in front. The whistling sound of catapults sounded in the sky. However, the scattered stone bullets pose no great threat to the cavalry. The cavalry flexibly controlled the war horses to avoid the rocks flying from the sky, and then flew over the edge of the range of the crossbow. The crossbow was not a stone bullet, and the thing was shot in rows. It was really impossible to hide, so they could only rush up.

Jiang Shangyan clasped the teeth and looked at the sun in the sky. Sun Runze, the opposite Chu army, held his cheeks bored and watched his drummer beating the drums desperately. The generals from both sides seemed to be waiting for something in a sympathy.

The drums rumbling on the battlefield, the shouts shook the clouds, countless cavalry were leaping across the battlefield, and rock bullets were flying in the sky, which looked very lively. But the real situation was that after a while, there were almost no casualties on both sides. The worst was that several cavalry under Jiang Shangyan fell back due to their horses' loss, and finally limped back to the formation.

It was not until the far side of the left and right sides that the shouts of countless people suddenly sounded, and the black crowd rushed into the eyes of everyone, and the Yan of Jiang Shang was excited. The sound of war drums under the central army's flag suddenly changed, and two cavalrymen flew out of the original formation and killed the enemies surrounding them.

"A massacre!" Jiang Shangyan couldn't get any interest at all.

"A massacre!" Sun Runze sighed and ordered his deputy general: "Order to retreat in turn!"
Chapter completed!
