C287 King of Weapons
Whether it was Lee Xinyan, Niu Changgeng, Liu Zujie, or Lee Hongji's nephew Li Youzhi, if these people could kill or capture one, that's the heaviest blow to the opponent. If his guess was correct, the enemy must have received the news of an attack from the army. They were in the midst of a chaotic assembly, waiting for the assembly to be completed. This is the most chaotic moment when a general does not know his troops and soldiers do not know his general. I plan to use this opportunity... With a small boon, the Horse Trample Alliance Camp.
When he thought about how Zhang Liao, Zhang Wenyuan, led 800 men of sacrifice to charge at Sun Quan's 100,000-man army, his mood actually surged. He only felt that the 38m long spear in his hand was already unbearably thirsty.
Spear, the king of soldiers.
In ancient times, there was the Luo Clan's spear, the Yang Clan's spear, and the Yue Clan's spear. But today, the most famous one was the Fang Clan's spear.
The Fang Clan's spear technique had been tempered by many generations of Fang Clan members. It had already been perfected to the point of perfection. And in the hands of the Fang Clan's current clan leader, the 'Three Purities in One,' Fang Feiming, he had even achieved a significant breakthrough. Perhaps this was because he had personally fought many battles with the Golden Army at the border when he was young.
After Xiong Tingbi was harmed by the Imperial Court, Fang Feiling angrily ordered the Fang family's disciples to withdraw from the army. This indirectly caused a few defeats in the Imperial Court, causing the Imperial Court to be furious. The Emperor even sent his personal eunuch, Wang Zhenhua, to the Fang family's secret meeting to admit his mistake and make a wish. Fang Feiyun also did not want to see the great mountains and rivers fall into the hands of the bandits, so he could only order the Fang Clan disciples to return to the team. The later Jin army's Fang Clan disciples were also very wary, and the war party once again fell into a stalemate.
Although it was said to be a stalemate, in reality, it was still a side that attacked. One side was in charge of defending. The Jin army came and went like the wind, while the Ming Dynasty army relied on the cannons to defend. Just defending was still extremely dangerous, because they allowed the enemy to enter. If they went directly to the city and used all kinds of siege vehicles, scaling ladders, and other methods to cut the city walls, they would take turns to attack. Even if the city was fortified, it would still be difficult to escape the fate of falling. Therefore, the Fang Clan disciples were extremely useful at this time.
When the Hou Jin army intended to attack the city, it would be fine if they were just bluffing. If they brought out siege weapons, then the Fang family's army would prepare to go on stage. Before the siege weapons of the Hou Jin army could be transported to the city, they would not be able to escape the fate of being burned down by the flamethrowers. However, many of the Fang family disciples' heroic souls were buried along with them. And under the Fang Clan disciples' weapons, countless gold soldiers' lives were also reaped. When Jin Jun heard this, his expression changed.
The long spear was hanging in the barrel of the spear on the right side, swaying along with the movement of the horse. It was like a dragon hiding in the deep abyss, waiting for the dragon to fight in all directions at any time. On the left side of the waist, there was a broken blade. Like a blade but not a blade, like a sword but not a sword, a full blade. On the other side was a half blade, which was slightly curved. The front part of the blade was as wide as a broken part.
This blade was called "Yousuke." Only when one was equipped with this blade could one truly be considered a member of the Fang Clan. It symbolized the Fang Clan's unyielding spirit, the courage to advance, and the spirit to defy the heavens. Even though the world was large, there was nothing to worry about. Perhaps it was precisely because of its existence that there was a saying of "the Fang Family's ruthlessness" in the Pugilistic World.
At this speed, there was still about half a day's journey to reach the Xiangyang. Faang Yiduo was considering whether he should find a place to rest his men and horses, then make the final sprint and fight to his heart's content.
At this moment, they received a report from the front that they had found traces of the enemy about ten miles away.
Everything had its pros and cons, because they were advancing at full speed. Thus, it was inevitable that they would not be able to take care of everything. Ten li away, if a horse galloped, there wouldn't be much distance left. Faang Yiduo could not help but not be surprised. The enemy's movement was so fast that it was out of his expectation. At the same time, the enemy had more than a thousand men. Five times faster than himself. If they had come prepared... It would be unwise to fight recklessly. However, if he stopped or took a detour, his long distance Elite Armament would lose all of its sharpness. He was afraid that his previous plan would fail.
The question of how to proceed to the next step was placed in front of Faang Yiduo. Killing intent filled the air. As long as he made the wrong choice, not only would he be killed, but he would also be completely wiped out.

In terms of age, he was three years older than Lee Hongji. However, he was the son of Lee Hongji's brother, so in terms of seniority, he was Lee Hongji's nephew instead. This time, Lee Shuai, Young Master Li, and Military Advisor Niu discussed and sent him to control Zhang Jingxuan's forces. It could be considered a careful consideration.
If they sent General Liu, it would be a bit too much of a fuss. If they sent someone else... He would not be able to rest assured, so he was the best candidate. In response to Zhang Jingxuan's request, they received some food. In addition, they also received 300 weapons and 500 armors, which could be said to be just a few carrots for the donkey. It was so that the donkey could sell its strength to grind properly.
Since Zhang Jingxuan wanted weapons, Advisor Niu naturally gave them some defensive equipment. This way, they would not raise a tiger and cause trouble for themselves. It was also giving them enough face so that they had to work hard.
The information sent by the pigeon in front was that the army did not have more than five hundred people. They were heading towards Xiangyang at full speed, and their speed exceeded everyone's expectations. Initially, they thought that they would arrive in at least two or three days, but in the end, they would arrive in the afternoon of the same day.
They did not have enough time to gather the army in a hurry, so Zhang Jingxuan and Li Chaozhi each led a thousand soldiers from their headquarters to intercept the enemy, so that the army would not be disturbed. At the same time, they needed to find out the next movement of the enemy.
Judging from the speed of the army, this army was undoubtedly a part of Guanning Cavalry. If that was the case, one man and two cavalry, five hundred cavalry, that would be a force of more than two hundred men. However, even if it was two hundred men, this force could not be underestimated.
According to the standard conversion method, one Guanning Cavalry soldier was equivalent to the strength of three ordinary soldiers. If 50 Guanning Cavalry soldiers were able to fight against four or 100, then... It was five to ten times the strength of an ordinary army.
Therefore, the combat strength of over two hundred Guanning Cavalry soldiers was comparable to the strength of two thousand soldiers. The two thousand men on their side were roughly on par with the enemy.
Of course, Li Chaozhi's strength was equal to the strength of his elite subordinates. Ordinary soldiers were not a match for him at all. Of course, if they were to fight the same number of Guanning Cavalry soldiers, they could only run away at all costs. However, he was waiting for his enemies to arrive. Moreover, Zhang Jingxuan's thousand men were leading the way. Although they were not safe, they still had a high chance of winning.
Li Chaozhi was secretly proud of himself.
There were two paths leading to Xiangyang from the direction of the army. One path and one path. If he were to say that the army was in a rush, it was more likely that they would come from the main road. Therefore, he had volunteered to choose the main road to meet the enemy and left the small road to Zhang Jingxuan and his men.
