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

As the saying goes, "A man will die for his friend", this is no empty talk. There are countless people in the world who dream of such generous treatment, but in the end it is out of reach. Faced with such a favor, how could Han Xin not be devoted to it and sacrifice his life for it?

"Okay, this Tang Sheng actually volunteered to serve as the vanguard. The reason why I agreed to his request is actually to make the enemy mistakenly think that I am greedy and reckless and eager to gain military merit. However, if Tang Sheng really has no ulterior motives and is not playing tricks, then this surprise attack on the Chu army's food supplies may succeed. At that time, our large force will follow up and completely annihilate the Chu army in one fell swoop."

"But if there are any tricks or problems, then we have to rely on you, Kong Gang! You lead your troops to follow Tang Sheng's team, and remember to be cautious and advance step by step. No matter what situation you encounter, you must remain vigilant and never act rashly. As for the other troops, I am always unable to cope with them. Only your army is the most elite force under the command of the lord! Even if you are unfortunately attacked by the enemy, you are fully capable of responding in the first time and dealing a heavy blow to the enemy. And I only have one request for you, that is, if an unexpected situation really occurs, you just need to find ways to delay time!"

"Well, General, please rest assured. Kong Gang will definitely not let you down."

After hearing what Kong Gang said, Han Xin's tense heartstrings finally relaxed a little. There was a reason why he acted this way. The Black Armor Army led by Kong Gang was the most elite cavalry unit under Gao Yao's command. Han Xin had witnessed and deeply experienced the strength of this army. With his understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Black Armor Army, he dared to conclude without hesitation: Looking at the entire world today, there is absolutely no cavalry that can match it! It was because of this knowledge that Han Xin had the courage to plan and arrange it like this.

However, in addition to this, there is another unknown intention behind this matter. But Han Xin did not say it out loud, because this approach is actually equivalent to secretly using Kong Gang as bait to lure the enemy. His purpose in doing this is nothing more than to speed up the end of this battle and decide the winner as soon as possible. But he did not intend to target Kong Gang personally. After all, everyone is a colleague. If this thought is made clear directly, no matter how easy Kong Gang is to talk to, no matter how much he says it is for Gao Yao, he will inevitably feel uncomfortable.

If possible, Han Xin even planned to act as the bait himself, but the Black Armor Army couldn't do that. This was also one of Gao Yao's management methods. No matter Cao Shen, Han Xin, Kong Gang, or even Erniu, although they were in a high position, the troops under their command would only obey the orders of their direct leaders and Gao Yao. The orders of other people could not control these guys at all. Therefore, even Han Xin could not do this on behalf of Kong Gang.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky had just dawned and the morning light was shining on the earth, Tang Sheng, wearing armor, personally led tens of thousands of troops and began to march towards the ambush point to ambush the Chu army.

Not far away, the Black Armored Army led by Kong Gang was like a black torrent. They were wearing heavy armor and holding sharp weapons. They were majestic and murderous. The Black Armored Army and Tang Sheng's Minzhong Army always kept a distance of less than two miles, following closely behind, like a shadow.

In the Fujian Central Army, after a period of hard march, Tang Sheng's horse suddenly accelerated and galloped towards Wu She. Soon, he came to Wu She's side, but at this moment Tang Sheng's expression looked extremely solemn, even a little ugly.

"Wu She, half a day has passed, but look behind us! Almost all of the people following us are cavalrymen from the Southern Border Army. This situation is completely different from what we expected! In this case, how should we deal with it?"

Tang Sheng said angrily. According to common sense, during a normal march, cavalry and infantry should cooperate with each other and move forward in coordination. Especially when there is a vanguard, the rear should be mainly infantry, and even if there are a small number of cavalry, their number will never be too large. But now, the Southern Border Army following closely behind the Minzhong Army is actually all cavalry.

After Wu She heard this, his two thick eyebrows twisted together tightly, as if they were tied into a knot, and his deep eyes gradually dimmed. The whole person seemed to be shrouded by an invisible pressure, and slowly fell into deep thought. As time passed, the air around him seemed to become heavy.

After a long time, Wu She's face looked increasingly heavy, like a sky covered with dark clouds, making people feel extremely depressed.

"Sir, in my humble opinion, Han Xin clearly has great doubts and distrust towards us. You see, he has even sent all his elite cavalry to follow closely behind our army. This move must be because he is afraid that we will perform some sinister and cunning conspiracy behind our backs."

As soon as Wu She finished speaking, Tang Sheng, who was standing beside him, gasped in shock. He felt a chill in his spine and a layer of fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead. His heart was beating rapidly, as if it was about to jump out of his throat. He secretly complained in his heart. After all, he had already come this far and still could not gain trust. The next battle might not go smoothly.

Especially after hearing Wu She's analysis, Tang Sheng became more and more anxious. He knew that if his side had done this and still lost the battle, the consequences that awaited him would be disastrous. Thinking of this, Tang Sheng unconsciously clenched his hands into fists, his nails deeply embedded in his palms, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

"Your Excellency, don't be so anxious. Think about it. If Han Xin really saw through our carefully planned plot, I'm afraid all of us would be imprisoned and unable to escape. But what about now? We can still lead the army to charge forward, which is enough to show that Han Xin just has some doubts about us. So, Your Excellency, you must not panic first, otherwise it will only make the Southern Border Army discover the clues faster!"

"Then...then in your opinion, what should we do next?"

"Sir, now that things have come to this, the best way is to continue to move forward steadily according to the original plan. The more panicked we are, the more likely we are to reveal flaws. Even when facing the enemy's cavalry, the strategy we formulated before is still effective, but it requires some slight adjustments and changes. Let's do this later..." At this point, Wu She put his head close to Tang Sheng's ear and gave him instructions in a low voice.

After listening to Wu She's words, Tang Sheng, who was originally flustered and anxious, became much calmer and more stable. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously as if he had made up his mind, indicating that he agreed with Wu She's countermeasures.

Soon half a day had passed, and Wu She's vanguard had already arrived at the Earth Dragon Land. Under the leadership of Tang Sheng, the entire army entered the East Dragon Land without any hesitation. When Kong Gang arrived at the location of the Earth Dragon Land, he immediately stopped the troops.

Although Kong Gang's talent in military strategy was not outstanding, he was still able to recognize the special terrain of this place. If an ambush occurred in such a narrow passage, the consequences would be very serious.

Kong Gang stood there, looking into the distance with a serious expression. He had just sent out several smart and capable scouts to investigate the situation nearby. However, in this short period of time, a burst of rapid horse hoof sounds came from far away. A fast horse came galloping like lightning, and the person on the horse was a soldier from Minzhong County.

The soldier was covered in blood, as if he had just been through a brutal fight. What was particularly striking was that there was an arrow stuck in his shoulder, which was shaking as his body shook.

"General! General! It's bad! Our governor has encountered the Chu army in front of us, and is now engaged in a fierce battle with them. Please send troops to support us as soon as possible!" The soldiers shouted loudly and waved their whips, urging the horses under their crotch to run faster.

"General! General! Our governor has encountered the Chu army in front of us and is now engaged in a fierce battle with them. Please send troops to support us as soon as possible!" His voice was filled with a hint of anxiety and fear as he kept repeating this sentence.

……

At this time, the soldier rode his warhorse and galloped over, raising clouds of dust. However, when he was about 20 meters away from Kong Gang, a group of cavalry suddenly rushed out and stopped him. These cavalrymen were all wearing heavy armor, holding long spears, and looked majestic. They were all black armor soldiers and were also Kong Gang's personal soldiers. Naturally, they would not allow anyone to come in front of Kong Gang casually.

Kong Gang saw this and waved his hand calmly, signaling his men to let him go. After getting the permission, the soldier immediately rode his horse to Kong Gang, dismounted, knelt on one knee and saluted, saying: "General, the county magistrate had just led his army away and was unfortunately ambushed by the Chu army. The Chu army took the lead in occupying the advantageous terrain at the valley entrance. Due to the lack of cavalry, our army was unable to break through the enemy's defense line. The county magistrate had no choice but to send me to ask for help from the general. I beg the general to lead the army to assist the county magistrate as soon as possible!" After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Kong Gang with expectant eyes.

"Chu Army? Where did the Chu Army come from?"

Kong Gang was also stunned after listening to the messenger's words. They came here to ambush the Chu army this time, but they were ambushed by the Chu army when they were almost there. Moreover, the enemy occupied the advantageous terrain at the entrance of the valley. Does this mean that the enemy has an ambush?
