The most arrogant in history

Chapter 209 Do you dare to fight?

Ye Kun and Shangguan Jifu clasped their fists together: "Lord Wei is the main force, how dare we take credit for it?"

Xuanyuan De clasped his fists and smiled, "It is said that Niu Yeliang has four dragons and eight tigers, and is invincible. I didn't expect that our General Ye and General Shangguan have even more powerful means to subdue dragons and tigers!"

Other princes also came forward to congratulate.

However, some people felt sour and thought that Ye Kun was lucky and the sneak attack was successful.

As they were talking, Yizhou Governor Gongsun Zhang arrived again.

Gongsun Zhang was defeated at Yique Pass and held his ground without achieving any success.

It is plump and white, and seems to be very free these days.

Inside the big tent, everyone sat down to discuss matters.

Now the eight princes have gathered at Sishui Pass.

Xuanyuan De said: "There are 30,000 troops stationed at Sishui Pass, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. We have been attacking for days and have suffered heavy casualties. So we gathered the princes from the eight routes to discuss a plan to defeat the enemy."

Ye Kun didn't say anything.

I still have to retain the strength of my troops. And after a fierce battle, the soldiers need to rest.

Wei Dingshan had won a great victory at Dagu Pass, and he was a little proud of himself, so he took the initiative to say:

"We, the soldiers of Jingzhou, can fight another battle and take down Sishui Pass!"

Bai Mi stood behind Wei Dingshan and stepped forward and said, "Bai Mi is willing to be the front!"

Xuanyuan De was overjoyed, and stood up and said, "Let's prepare a banquet and have a good meal before we fight again at Sishui Pass!"

At noon, cattle and sheep were slaughtered, and the soldiers of the three armies had a hearty meal before heading to Sishui Pass together.

Bai Mi, a general of Wei Dingshan, led 5,000 elite soldiers to attack the pass and set up a position two miles below the pass.

Xuanyuan De brought Ye Kun and others to watch the battle.

The battle drums at the gate were deafening, and a fierce general led his troops down the gate, raised his gun and shouted loudly:

"Which blind prince is coming here to die? Do you dare to step forward and fight with me?"

Xuanyuan De looked back at everyone: "This is Tang Xionghu, a fierce general under Niu Yeliang, one of the Eight Tiger Generals."

Wei Dingshan also looked at his generals and asked, "Who dares to fight?"

A young general rushed out from behind Bai Mi, riding his horse and brandishing his sword, and rushed straight towards Tang Xionghu.

Ye Kun was shocked and asked Shangguan Jifu in a low voice: "Are there really generals fighting in front of the two armies?"

In Ye Kun's opinion, if he arranged for strong crossbowmen to step forward and shoot randomly, Tang Xionghu and his horse would be turned into a hedgehog!

Fighting in a martial arts competition is so tiring.

Shangguan Jifu smiled and said, "A few hundred years ago, during the Spring and Autumn Period, it was normal for generals to fight each other. Both sides fought fairly, and both the victory and the defeat were honorable. The loser surrendered, which also greatly reduced the casualties of the soldiers."

Ye Kun shook his head: "Before, it was a war for hegemony, so it was understandable to fight generals. Now it's a war to annihilate a country, why is there still a fight between generals?"

"This is the dignity of a great general. Even if he loses a fight, he will die at the hands of the other general, not at the hands of an unknown person. Moreover, this can be regarded as everyone's remembrance of the war etiquette of the Spring and Autumn Period."

Ye Kun smiled: "So that's how it is. Fighting generals is a battle of feelings."

As they were talking, the young general from Jingzhou was already fighting with Tang Xionghu.

After three rounds, the young general from Jingzhou was defeated and was stabbed to death by Tang Xionghu!

"Hahaha..." Tang Xionghu laughed and pointed his gun at the allied forces: "Who else dares to come and die?"

"Don't be so arrogant, I'm going to take your head!"

Bai Mi was furious and came to fight Tang Xionghu in person.

The two sides fought fiercely for twenty rounds, with dust flying under the horses' hooves.

Suddenly, Bai Mi screamed and fell off his horse.

Two fast horses rushed out from the Jingzhou army and rescued Bai Mi, but he was already dead, with a gunshot wound in the ribs and blood gushing out like a fountain.

Ye Kun sighed.

The great general who had fought alongside him two days ago was gone just like that.

Wei Caiqin quietly approached Ye Kun and whispered, "Brother Ye, the battlefield is so dangerous, you must not go up..."

Ye Kun turned his head and found Wei Caiqin's face full of concern, with tears in her eyes.

"Good brother, I know." Ye Kun nodded repeatedly, signaling Wei Caiqin to rest assured.

Over there, Tang Xionghu killed two people in a row, and he was even more arrogant, laughing wildly: "Jingzhou Bai Mi is just a name, who else would come to die?"

Gongsun Zhang's general, the mighty General Wang Quan, could not help but go into battle.

After seven or eight rounds, his helmet was knocked off by Tang Xionghu, and he escaped with his life, returning to the battlefield in a panic.

Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

Tang Xionghu was still challenging, but no one responded.

Xuanyuan De sighed, "It's a pity that none of my great generals, Wu Shisan and Lu Dang, are here. If only one of them were here, why would I be afraid of Tang Xionghu?"

Suddenly, Wei Kang, the second son of Jingzhou, said in a loud voice: "Master Ye Kun of Dongba County is both civil and military, skilled in swordsmanship and horsemanship. Why don't you go forward and fight and take down Tang Xionghu?"

Ye Kun was shocked and looked at Wei Kang sideways.

Damn, you are still thinking about cheating me!

Wei Caiqin was also shocked. She opened her mouth but didn't dare to speak. She just looked at Ye Kun and shook her head slightly.

Xuanyuan De didn't know about the mess between Ye Kun and Wei Kang, so he believed it to be true and said with a fist: "General Ye, do you dare to step forward and fight?"

"Don't worry, leader. Tang Xionghu is nothing to worry about. In my opinion, he is just a traitor!"

Ye Kun was not embarrassed at all. He clasped his fists towards the princes, then smiled and said to Shangguan Jifu: "Fourth brother, you go!"

If you can’t beat him, close the door and let Fourth Brother go!

Shangguan Jifu chuckled, and rode out with his spear in hand: "Tang Xionghu, don't run away. I, Shangguan Jifu, am here to meet you!"

"Shangguan, I will kill you today to avenge Cai Feilong!"

Tang Xionghu cheered up and fought Shangguan Jifu again.

Both of them used spears and were evenly matched, and the fight was fierce.

Shangguan Jifu was already an expert in martial arts, and he had observed Tang Xionghu for a long time and was familiar with his moves, so he responded appropriately and with ease.

The two sides fought for more than fifty rounds, and Tang Xionghu finally became exhausted and timid, so he rode away on his horse.

Wei Dingshan was overjoyed and waved his banner: "Go ahead and seize the pass!"

Shangguan Jifu led the Jingzhou troops and attacked to the pass.

However, rocks rained down from the pass and arrows flew like locusts, making it impossible to get close, so they had to withdraw their troops.

This afternoon was wasted.

Two generals from Jingzhou also died!

Returning to the tent, Wei Dingshan was unhappy because of the loss of his great general Bai Mi.

Ye Kun suggested: "It's a waste of time for both sides to fight. It's better to build two 50-meter high platforms in front of the pass to block the passage down the pass, use catapults to harass the enemy day and night, so that the enemy will be exhausted and find an opportunity to break through the pass."

Ye Kun is the only one who can attack Sishui Pass.

Just waste more thunder bombs.

But in front of the princes, Ye Kun did not want to expose his black powder weapons, so he could only fight a traditional offensive and defensive battle.

The day before yesterday, Ye Kun fought side by side with Bai Mi and launched a surprise attack on Dagu Pass, and his pulley crossbow was exposed.

If the black powder is exposed again, Ye Kun will have no cards in his hand.

However, the pulley crossbow is complex, especially the pulley production, which is not easy. Even if it is exposed, it will take at least one or two years for the Jingzhou Army to copy it and mass-produce it.

Xuanyuan De disagreed with Ye Kun's suggestion and said, "Our coalition forces are strong, so we just need to attack. Wait for me to transfer our shield vehicles and siege vehicles, and attack day and night!"

Ye Kun was speechless.

Although they have the advantage in military strength, they are crowded in front of Sishui Pass and cannot mobilize their forces. Isn't it just a tactic of adding fuel to the fire, and being defeated one by one by the enemy?

From a tactical point of view, the side with superior military strength should expand the battlefield and engage in full-scale battle.

Xuanyuan De was a civil official and did not know how to command troops. He should not have withdrawn the troops from the south and southwest back to Sishui Pass!

The leader had already made a decision, so Ye Kun didn't say much and just watched coldly.

Xuanyuan De's shield chariots and siege vehicles all went into battle together, attacking the pass day and night, with shouts of killing shaking the sky.

After two days of countless casualties, they still failed to capture Sishui Pass.
