Sunset Valley, located six hundred miles southwest of Mulu City, the capital of Great Xia, is the only way to travel from Babylon to Kushan.
From a distance, the mountains are continuous, undulating, layered with mountains and mist, and it is an excellent place for ambushing soldiers.
Xiang Yu's generals Guo Kan and Xue Wanche led 30,000 horses to wait here for the rabbit, waiting for the Babylonian army to pass under their feet.
Since receiving Xiang Yu's order, Guo Kan and Xue Wanche led 30,000 soldiers out of Salem City and into the lofty mountains of Sunset Valley, leaving only Xianzhen to lead 20,000 soldiers to defend Salem City, which is also the gateway town to the western border of the Great Xia Kingdom.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded from time to time in the valley, and the scouts who came and went kept reporting the news to the general Guo Kan.
"Report to the General, the army of Babylon is marching towards the Valley of Sunset, and it is about a hundred and fifty miles away."
Guo Kan stroked his sword, his face was like frost: "Probe again, and contact King Xiang at the same time to report the location of the enemy army" After half a day's effort, the scout brought important information again: "Report to the general, King Xiang has led an army of 100,000 to pass through Blue Moon City, and it is still eighty miles away from Sun Valley. ” Guo Kan and Xue Wanche glanced at each other and expressed satisfaction with Xiang Yu's speed of marching: "The king's use of troops is really fast, in this way, he will definitely be able to reach the battlefield before the enemy army passes through the Sun Valley." ” "King Xiang has an order, ordering the two generals to let go of the enemy's forward troops and ambush their tails, and King Xiang will line up in the east of the Sun Valley to block them.
At that time, the general will cut off the enemy's rear road, and King Xiang will intercept it in front, and attack from head to end, which will definitely inflict heavy damage on Alexander."
Guo Kan nodded: "Please report back to King Xiang, just say that General Xue and I will definitely act according to the plan" Time passed quietly, and the next morning, the sound of horses' hooves broke through the silence of the valley: "General Qiqi, the enemy army continues to march towards the Sun Valley, there are still fifty miles to go, and it is expected to enter the Sun Valley after noon."
Guo Kan pulled off a beard fiercely: "Pass my order, the whole army will enter a combat state, no one is allowed to move noisily without authorization, and those who violate the order will be beheaded."
With Guo Kan's order, the valley, which had been filled with laughter from time to time, suddenly became as quiet as death, only the sound of the mountain wind blowing the grass and trees, and the chirping of birds and birds passing through the sky.
After noon, the ambushed Bactrian army did not wait for the mighty Babylonian army, and the road under their feet remained empty and nowhere to be seen, with the occasional elk and herds of hyenas passing through.
As time passed, Xue Wanche's patience was gradually exhausted, and he flew up and kicked down a piece of gravel: "Damn, is it a scout who lied to report the military situation, and those turtle sons will come back later, and see that Lao Tzu doesn't pick their skin and pull their tendons" "How can military intelligence be child's play" Compared with Xue Wanche's anxious expression, Guo Kan's face looked very heavy, "Could it be that Alexander guessed our army's intentions and changed his strategy" At this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and the three scouts rode their horses in embarrassment, shouting in panic: "Report to the two generals, when the enemy army reached the remaining forty miles, suddenly the troops divided into two roads, one side stood still, lined up in a phalanx, and the other turned around and went to the city of Salem." ” "Oh no, Alexander really guessed the intention of our army" Guo Kan slapped his thigh and jumped up.
"How can this be good" Xue Wanche was very hungry and gritted his teeth, "This Alexander is really cunning, didn't he agree not to invade each other within three years, he actually took the initiative to attack Salem City, it is really treacherous" Guo Kan smiled, and said in his heart, aren't we also calculating the enemy, "Hehe, the soldiers are not tired of cheating, the two countries are fighting for hegemony, and what kind of faith and righteousness are the king's way, General Xue, you quickly lead half of the soldiers and horses down the mountain and gallop to the aid of Salem City."
I will immediately send someone to inform King Xiang that while the enemy army is divided, I will pass through the Valley of the Sun and defeat the Babylonian army in front."
"Okay" Rather than using his brains, Xue Wanche was more willing to work hard, agreed, and led 15,000 men and horses out of the Sun Valley and galloped towards Salem City to help Xianzhen.
In the cold wind of hunting, Xiang Yu was dressed in golden armor, kicked the clouds and black horses under his crotch, and held the city-breaking dragon halberd, waiting for the arrival of the Babylonian army.
But in the end, it was the messenger sent by Guo Kan who waited: "Report to the king, Alexander's army suddenly stopped advancing when it was about forty miles from the Valley of the Sun, and divided the army into two routes, and sent a team to the northwest to attack the city of Salem. ” Xiang Yu didn't panic, and showed a knowing smile to Pang Tong beside him: "It's still Pang Shiyuan's thoughtfulness, and fortunately we made preparations in advance, otherwise we would have been caught off guard by Alexander."
Pang Tong smiled: "The king has praised falsely, there are no less than ten princes in the entire Anxi Empire, but only Alexander and King Xiang can form a scale.
It can be seen that this Alexander was by no means incompetent, and he would never be easily fooled, so Pang Tong suggested that the king divide another army of troops and horses to ambush on the way to Salem City, so as to ensure that nothing goes wrong. ” "Hmph" Xiang Yu sneered, "Alexander and I fought against each other only because they did not border each other before, and now with the annexation of various princes, conflicts are inevitable, this time I vow to fight Alexander is frightened, bow his head, let him understand who is the strongest prince in the rest continent" Before the words fell, Xiang Yu made a move with the halberd in his hand, and he was about to order the army to pass through the Sunset Valley and attack the Babylonian army on the opposite side: "The whole army is ready to charge with me" "The king is slow" Pang Tong urged the horse forward, blocking the way of Xiang Yu's charge.
Xiang Yu frowned: "What else does Pang Shiyuan have to say?"
Pang Tong arched his hand on the horse and said: "Great King, since the Babylonian army is arrayed opposite the Sun Valley, it must have something to rely on, and it is difficult to say that our army will win if it rushes over.
It is better to wait here and wait for Alexander's army to come and kill him, and the chances of victory are greater. ” "What if the enemy doesn't dare to come," Xiang Yu asked with a halberd, a look of disdain in his eyes.
Pang Tong continued to admonish: "At least three hundred miles from the Babylonian border to the Valley of the Sun, the enemy army has penetrated deep into the territory of our Great Xia, and we must take the initiative to seek an opportunity for a decisive battle.
If Alexander saw that our army did not dare to cross the valley, there were only two choices, either to retreat his troops or to attack the city of Salem to the north, and he would definitely not continue to confront each other.
If the enemy retreats, our army will follow and pursue, and if the enemy army attacks Salem to the north, our army will follow through the valley and follow from behind, and attack the vanguard who is firmly holding Salem and Murong Ke, Ji Bu and others who are in ambush, and they will surely win a great victory."
After listening to Pang Tong's suggestion, Xiang Yu suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, "Haha Pang Shiyuan, I appreciate your strategy, but today this king wants to tell you a truth, it is certainly the best choice to fight a war by strategy."
But sometimes it should be resolved by force, and in the face of absolute force, any intrigue is in vain."
When the words fell, Xiang Yu made a move with a long halberd and charged first: "The enemy army is dozens of miles away, but I, Xiang Yu, dare not fight, if the news spreads, won't the world laugh at the generous Pang Shiyuan, although you are optimistic, see how I inflict heavy damage on the enemy army, no matter what conspiracy he has, I will kill him without leaving a piece of armor" The black and shiny kicking cloud black snort, spread its four hooves, and shot out like a sharp arrow with Xiang Yu on its back, and a cloud of smoke and dust rolled up behind it.
The 70,000 Great Xia troops shouted, brandished their swords and spears and followed Xiang Yu's horses' hooves, and covered the past to the other side of the valley.
Just as Xiang Yu led the main army through the valley to fight the Babylonian army, Xue Wanche was leading 15,000 men and horses to retreat from Sunset Valley and retreat towards Salem City, preparing to gallop to the vanguard of the city.
After walking for more than 30 miles, there was a sudden shout, and an ambush soldier was killed in the oblique stab, and he covered the Great Xia army with a spear: "The stupid Great Xia army, if you fall for our king's strategy, don't you quickly disarm and surrender."
Xue Wanche was furious, and charged forward with a horse and a sword: "Don't panic, soldiers, the enemy army is deep in the territory, and our army has the upper hand everywhere, not to mention that King Xiang's army is not far away, even if there is an ambush, it is not enough to be afraid."
In the blink of an eye, the two armies were fighting together, each holding a spear and a round shield, and engaged in hand-to-hand combat.
The armies of the West preferred to use spears to fight with spears than the Han armies in the East, and each team was equipped with spearmen and shield soldiers, with spearmen for attack and shield soldiers for defense.
In the earth-shattering roar, the flesh and blood of the two armies flew sideways, and every moment someone would be stabbed in the chest with a spear, screaming and lying in a pool of blood, and then the flesh and blood trampled by the iron hooves like a tide were blurred.
Xue Wanche carried a big knife in his hand, rushed left and right in the midst of thousands of troops, killing the Babylonian soldiers like chopping melons and vegetables, and ordinary soldiers fell to the ground as soon as they stabbed down.
Even if he encountered a general, he was only a three-two enemy, and after a rush to kill, at least nearly two hundred Babylonian soldiers were killed, and the robes and armor of his body had long been stained red with blood.
"I am Achilles, the Babylonian god of war, eat me with a spear" With a roar, a pure white Arab war horse rushed over with Achilles, who was nearly a foot tall and wearing Western armor, holding a two-foot sky-breaking spear, and a shield carved with the body of a human horse hanging from the saddle, and rushed towards Xue Wanche with lightning speed.
"The Dingdong system detected the outbreak of Achilles' first attribute: God War, when facing an opponent whose basic force is higher than his own, he starts with 3 strength, and every ten rounds of support 1 force can increase up to 6 points.
When facing an opponent whose base strength is lower than your own, you can reduce your opponent's strength by 2 points at the beginning, and reduce your opponent's strength by 1 point for every 10 rounds of fierce battle, with a minimum of 4 points." t1706231537:
