On the morning of April 18, 395 of the Daliang calendar, the 700,000-strong army of the Songfan Kingdom, led by the eldest prince Songfan Sangji, arrived outside Fengshou City with great momentum.
Fengshou City is a city within the territory of Wulei State. Its area and population are second only to the capital Qingyu City. Currently, this city has been taken over by the Zhenxi Army.
Previously, the 50,000 cavalrymen of the Songfan Kingdom tried to seize Fengshou City, but were almost wiped out by the Zhenxi Youwei.
When the 700,000-strong army of the Songfan Kingdom arrived outside Fengshou City, the Zhenxi Army had already assembled 500,000 troops in Fengshou City.
Among them, in addition to the 40,000 troops of Zhenxi Youwei, the 60,000 tiger soldiers of the Qinbingwei and the 100,000 Xizhou wing troops, there were also 100,000 troops of Yanzi State, 100,000 troops of Yuli State and 100,000 troops of Shache State.
Upon learning that hundreds of thousands of troops from the Songfan Kingdom were heading towards Fengshou City, Xue Rengui, the commander of the Zhenxi Right Guard, said to Lü Biao, the commander of the Tiger Soldiers, "Commander Lü, I am preparing to lead the Zhenxi Right Guard and 100,000 Xizhou wing troops.
The 300,000 troops from the Yanzi, Yuli, and Shache kingdoms are now stationed outside the city to meet the Songfan Kingdom's army. Fengshou City will be handed over to you, the Tiger Soldiers."
Now, the Blue Wolf Cavalry and Tiger Soldiers of the Zhenxi Army's personal guards have been expanded to 60,000 people. Lu Biao, a "hundred-level" warrior who was born a gladiator, was appointed by Sun Hao as the commander-in-chief of the Tiger Soldiers.
As for the commander-in-chief of the Blue Wolf Cavalry, he was Guo Wei, a "hundred-level" fierce general who came from the Purple Scarf Bandits.
The four cavalry units of wind, rain, thunder and lightning affiliated with the Royal Guards were expanded to 160,000 people, among which the whirlwind cavalry, frost rain cavalry, thunder cavalry and lightning cavalry were each expanded to 40,000 people.
The commander-in-chief of the Whirlwind Cavalry, Frost Rain Cavalry, Thunder Cavalry and Lightning Cavalry was transferred back by Sun Hao from the Zhennan Army.
Yuwen Chengdu was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Whirlwind Cavalry, Gao Siji was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Frost and Rain Cavalry, Li Guang was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Thunder Cavalry, and Wang Yanzhang was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Lightning Cavalry.
The four men who replaced Yuwen Chengdu, Gao Siji, Li Guang and Wang Yanzhang as Lang Jiang were four powerful generals signed by Sun Hao on January 1, 394 of the Daliang calendar. He used up his annual signing opportunity: Ling Tong (Three Kingdoms), Chen Wu (Three Kingdoms), Pan Zhang (Three Kingdoms) and Dong Xi (Three Kingdoms).
Among them, Ling Tong and Chen Wu have a combat power value of 94 points, and Pan Zhang and Dong Xi have a combat power value of 93 points.
Lu Biao hesitated for a moment and said to Xue Rengui, "General Xue, according to our scouts, the Songfan Kingdom has at least 600,000 to 700,000 soldiers and horses.
Why don't I lead 40,000 Tiger Soldiers and accompany Commander Xue to fight against the Songfan Kingdom's army, while leaving 20,000 Tiger Soldiers to defend Fengshou City? There shouldn't be any problems."
Xue Rengui nodded slightly. "That's fine. To be honest, I'm a little worried about the armies of Yanzi, Yuli, and Shache."
On the plain south of Fengshou City, the Western Regions coalition forces, mainly composed of the Zhenxi Army, and the 700,000-strong army of the Songfan Kingdom, each took up their positions, and a war was about to break out.
Before the Songfan army, an unusually large general challenged the eldest prince, Songfan Sangji, and said, "My dear prince, please allow me to redeem myself from my crime and make meritorious service.
Let me fight the Liang people in front of the two armies. I will use the blood of the Liang people to wash away the shame of defeat."
This general of the Songfan Kingdom was Fude Solang, who led 50,000 cavalrymen composed of herdsmen from the Songfan Kingdom and was almost wiped out by the Zhenxi Right Guard.
The battle between the two armies was very popular in the plateau area where the Songfan Kingdom was located, so Fude Solang proposed to use the battle to redeem himself from his crimes.
The eldest prince Songfan Sangji said in a very calm tone: "Fude Suolang, I can give you this opportunity.
But this will be your last chance, and you should understand what I mean."
Fude Suolan said without hesitation: "Don't worry, Prince. If I can't win the battle, I, Fude Suolan, will not have the face to ask for your forgiveness."
After saying this, Fude Suolang urged his horse to the front of the two armies and shouted in the plateau dialect, "People of Liang on the opposite side, is there anyone who dares to fight me, Fude Suolang, in front of the battle?"
Plateau dialect is the common language of all tribes in the Songfan Kingdom.
Although the generals of the Zhenxi Army did not understand what Fude Solang meant, they understood that the Songfan Army wanted to fight with the Zhenxi Army in front of the battle.
For the Zhenxi Army, which is full of brave generals, they are not afraid of anyone when fighting in front of the two armies.
However, before the Zhenxi Army's generals could say anything, the Yanzi Kingdom's general, Kaisaihei, said to Xue Rengui, "General Xue, I have a brave general named Dilayaba under my command. He will definitely be able to kill this highland barbarian for the coalition forces."
Hearing that Kaisaihei had taken the initiative to request to send people to fight, Xue Rengui didn't want to offend him, so he agreed to Kaisaihei's request.
If Sun Hao, who possesses the "Intermediate Exploration Eye", were here, he would never agree to send Dilayaba to fight.
Although Dilayaba's combat power value is as high as 91 points, Ford Solang in front of the two armies has a combat power value of 95 points.
As a result, after fighting with Ford Solang for more than thirty rounds, Dilayaba, a fierce general of Yanzi Kingdom, was beheaded by Ford Solang with a single blow.
Next, a fierce general from the Yuli Kingdom volunteered to fight. Unfortunately, this fierce general from the Yuli Kingdom, whose combat power value reached 90 points, was chopped off his horse by Ford Solang after fighting with him for exactly thirty rounds.
Seeing that Fude Solang killed two enemy generals in a row, the morale of the Songfan army immediately soared, and the cheers became louder and louder.
Xue Rengui didn't dare to let the generals of the vassal states go up and give themselves up, so he said directly to Lu Bu, the deputy commander of the Zhenxi Right Guard beside him: "Brother Lu, please go up and do something!
If we lose again, it will have a huge impact on our morale."
