Mythical Qin: I, Gao Yao, will never be a eunuch!

At the same time, he personally led 500 elite cavalrymen wearing heavy black armor and galloped towards the depths of the valley without hesitation. Because at this moment, on the other side of the valley, the troops led by Heifeng were engaged in a fierce and desperate battle with the Minzhong Army.

At this time, even if Kong Gang was stupid, he was completely sure that this plan was definitely a conspiracy between the Minzhong Army and the Chu Army. If Han Xin had not been alert and noticed something was wrong, and had not had Gao Yao's map in advance, the Southern Border Army would have suffered heavy losses. After all, this was almost using the remaining half of Minzhong County as bait to annihilate the Southern Border Army's vanguard.

Fan Zeng knew that Gao Yao was an extremely difficult and dangerous opponent, so everything he planned was carefully controlled within a safe range. This time, he decided to launch a surprise attack on the southern border army near the county town. If successful, they could inflict heavy damage to the enemy; even if they failed, they could quickly retreat to the county town to hold on and wait for reinforcements.

Fan Zeng knew Gao Yao so well because of a series of events that happened over the years. Back then, Gao Yao had hunted him down in his retreat in Chu State and nearly killed him. Since then, when he reviewed the whole incident, Gao Yao's name was deeply engraved in his mind. Gao Yao killed Xiang Liang, which undoubtedly declared the irreconcilable hostility between the two.

Then, through the news from Yi Xiaochuan, Fan Zeng learned about Gao Yao's deeds in the northern border. When he arrived in Xianyang, he heard and saw what Gao Yao did there. Although he had never directly confronted Gao Yao on the front battlefield, with this information, Fan Zeng had already regarded him as a very difficult and scheming person. Moreover, the difference in strength between the enemy and us was huge, and Fan Zeng, who was in a weak position, did not dare to take any risks.

The southern border had a large number of soldiers and a huge force. Even if they suffered a certain degree of loss, they still had enough troops to support the subsequent war. However, the situation of the Chu army was very different. Their troops were limited in number and could not withstand excessive consumption and loss. For this reason, Fan Zeng made a plan after careful consideration: to hold on to the defense and wait for the enemy to attack.

Fan Zeng knew that the person who held great power in the court was Meng Yi, who was actually Yi Xiaochuan. He knew that once the Southern Border Army and the Chu Army started a fierce battle and the news reached the court, Yi Xiaochuan would definitely not miss this great opportunity to take advantage of the situation and would definitely speed up the march and launch a fierce attack on the Southern Border. Therefore, the most critical task for the Chu Army was to hold their ground and delay time as much as possible, rather than attacking rashly or taking risks.

In terms of selecting generals, Fan Zeng chose Ji Bu over Long Ju for a reason. Long Ju was a man of hot temper and irritability. Although he was extremely brave and only slightly inferior to Xiang Yu in terms of military strength, he looked down upon almost everyone in the Chu army except Xiang Yu.

If faced with a deliberate provocation from the Southern Border Army, Long Ju would most likely be unable to suppress his anger and lead his army to fight against the Southern Border Army regardless of everything. In contrast, Ji Bu has a more stable personality and acts more cautiously and reliably, and seems to be a more suitable candidate for implementing a defensive strategy.

Unfortunately, what was unexpected was that in the face of the temptation of easy credit, the usually steady Ji Bu failed to hold his inner defenses and finally chose a slightly risky way of fighting, which also led to the current disastrous defeat.

At this moment, Tang Sheng, who was on the other side of the valley, could not help but feel an irrepressible excitement when he saw the galloping Black Wind and the two thousand elite cavalry under his command. You know, the so-called ambush set by the Chu army here is simply a carefully planned scam, and its purpose is nothing more than to confuse Kong Gang, and this ingenious plan was made by Wu She.

At this moment, the soldiers who were fighting fiercely at the mouth of the valley were not actually the real Chu army. They were just the soldiers of the Minzhong Army who temporarily changed into the uniforms of the Chu army. However, when Tang Sheng and Wu She looked closely and found that the enemy troops coming from the southern border to support them were only a mere 2,000 people, their faces instantly became gloomy.

Tang Sheng looked at Wu She with a worried look on his face and asked anxiously, "Wu She, what should we do?" As he spoke, he stared at the Southern Border Army rushing towards the valley entrance. Although this army was coming fiercely, it was too small, with only two thousand cavalrymen. How could Tang Sheng not be worried about such a situation?

Facing Tang Sheng's urgent question, Wu She also frowned. After thinking for a moment, he responded decisively: "Sir, there is no time to lose. Let's act immediately! If we delay any further, I'm afraid the situation will change unexpectedly!"

"But..." Tang Sheng wanted to say something else. After all, if he could not completely annihilate the Southern Border Army, but only eliminated one of the vanguard troops, then this military achievement would undoubtedly be greatly reduced. Thinking of this, Tang Sheng couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

"We are running out of time. If we wait until the Southern Border Army reaches the valley entrance, it will be disadvantageous to us. The enemy may be suspicious. The remaining troops may not have entered the valley yet. Our best plan now is to capture these two thousand people as soon as possible, then retreat, block the valley, prevent the Southern Border Army from pursuing us, and head straight for Kuaiji!"

"But, the Chu army..."

"My lord, if the Chu army really fights with the Southern Border Army, if our plan can be implemented smoothly, then our army only needs to block the valley entrance tightly, and the general trend of the battle will naturally tend to our side to win the final victory. It's just that the amount of credit gained may be different. If the Chu army fails to successfully encircle the Southern Border Army, the situation will become extremely bad! Think about it, a mere 5,000 Chu troops are going to fight against nearly 10,000 elite cavalry of the Southern Border Army. Isn't it obvious who is strong and who is weak?" At this point, the man couldn't help but sigh heavily.

"Now, our army and the Southern Border Army have completely fallen out. As the saying goes, once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back! If the Chu army fails, we can gain precious time to retreat by taking control of the valley entrance first!"

Wu She's face was full of helplessness at this moment. According to common sense, the strategy he carefully planned was almost flawless. The only flaw was that he had not expected the army led by Han Xin to march so fast that they could arrive at the city first. From this point of view alone, it was indeed a more obvious unreasonable part of the whole plan.

But apart from this, all other aspects can be said to be perfect. But even so, the Southern Border Army still maintained such a high level of vigilance and did not fall into the trap set by our side at all, which was really a bit tricky!

This also made Wu She realize that Han Xin's cautious leadership of the troops could not keep them stable. The current situation did not allow Wu She to consider other things and he could only make a decision as soon as possible.

"Okay, let's do it!" After repeated consideration and weighing the pros and cons, Tang Sheng finally made up his mind to no longer have any hesitation or concerns under Wu She's earnest persuasion, and made this decision resolutely.

He looked serious and determined. He waved his hand and shouted, "Kill him!"

As Tang Sheng gave this decisive and resolute order, the guards standing beside him moved in unison, quickly and forcefully raising the bright and eye-catching flag in their hands.

Immediately afterwards, the Fujian Central Army shouted in unison: "Kill, kill, kill!" The deafening shouts of killing resounded throughout the valley, as if they were about to break through the sky.

Because the valley was narrow, its width was extremely limited, only about ten meters. At this time, the Black Armored Army led by Heifeng was moving rapidly along the road in the center of the valley. Along the way, the soldiers of the Minzhong Army who encountered them took the initiative to avoid them, but the distance between the two sides was not very far after all.

At this moment, with the arrival of Tang Sheng's order, the Minzhong Army, which had been on high alert for a long time on both sides of the valley, instantly took out their weapons and aimed at the Black Armored Army in front of them, launching an extremely swift attack on the Black Armored Army.

In an instant, countless sharp spears pierced the black-armored army like raindrops. These spears flashed with cold light and carried a fierce momentum, whistling straight towards the black-armored army. For a moment, the scene fell into extreme chaos and blood...

"What!" This sudden attack was like a bolt from the blue, instantly throwing the Black Armored Army into disarray. In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, screams rang out, and the Black Armored Army suffered heavy casualties.

Although the Black Armored Army was brave and fearless, they were only mortals after all, not immortal and invincible gods. Although they had managed to avoid many fatal injuries with their sophisticated weapons and equipment, the cavalry's original most powerful advantage was suppressed in this steep valley terrain and could not be brought into play.

What's worse, the Minzhong Army also prepared a large number of tripwires. These insidious and cunning traps caused the Black Armor Army's horses to stumble and fall frequently. This was obviously a pre-prepared trap against the Black Armor Army.

All of a sudden, the Black Armor Army was attacked fiercely by the enemy from all sides, and was completely trapped in a desperate situation. At this critical moment, Heifeng, as a general, witnessed this tragic scene and was so angry that his eyes widened and his eyes were about to burst. He watched helplessly as those brothers who had followed him through life and death fell off their horses one by one and died tragically under the weapons of the Minzhong Army, and he was filled with grief and anger.

"Abandon the horse! Fight on foot!" Heifeng gave the order without hesitation. After saying that, he jumped off his horse without hesitation and rushed towards the soldiers of the Minzhong Army beside him like a ferocious cheetah. With the knife in his hand, several enemy soldiers were killed in the flash of cold light.
