Three Kingdoms Eschatology

Feng Yu nodded and said: "To tell you the truth, Zhuge Kongming, the Prime Minister of Zuo who is far away in Manzhou, also wrote me a letter, and he said the same thing. But I still hope to end this war in a short time. Time has dragged on, our Although the soldiers will reduce casualties, the population of the people in the world will lose more. Most of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Wei army came from various counties and counties. There is no manpower to transport the imported grain, right?"

Jia Xu opened her mouth wide in shock and said, "Your Majesty, the battle is imminent, but you are thinking of how to save the families of these enemy soldiers. This... this is inevitable..."

Feng Yu laughed again, and said confidently: "Don't worry, Situ, we will win this battle!"

……

Twenty miles away, amidst the sound of drums and trumpets, more than a hundred ballistas fired in salvo, and dozens of hundreds of stone and explosive bombs blasted towards the mound where the Wei army was stationed.This road was six miles long and about thirty yards wide, and soon after the third pole was covered with dust, thick smoke billowed, and flames blazed.

The Wei army camp on the top of the mound was tilted by the bombardment, and the wall of the camp was broken.The soldiers of the Wei army in the village ran around with their heads in their hands.Before the Liang army launched an attack, Cao Chun, the guard of the camp, shouted: "Retreat! The whole army retreats!" After saying that, he rode out on his horse, and nearly a thousand cavalrymen of the Wei army in the camp also fled in haste.Seeing this, the pawns also spread their legs and ran after them.On the other side of the mound, hundreds of heavy cavalry from the Liang army and thousands of spear and shield soldiers spread to the mound like a torrent of ocher.Not long after, the broken banner of the Wei Army in the camp was torn down and replaced by the battle flag of the Liang Army.

The reason why Cao Chun gave up Tugang so quickly was Sima Yi's intention.Wei Jun set up a camp here just to investigate and monitor Liang Jun in advance, and did not intend to build it into a strong fortress. Liang Jun came to attack aggressively, of course he had to give up.

The generals and a large number of Liang Guo's Habayashi Army guards surrounded Feng Yu and climbed to the highest point of this mound.The rest of the Liang Army soldiers also rushed over the mound like an overwhelming tide.When Feng Yu and the generals stood on the top of the post and looked towards Yecheng, they couldn't help being stunned.In their line of sight, the Wei army camp in the distance connected to the sky and the earth, boundless.If it weren't for the colorful candles and a large number of paper hot air balloons rising into the sky, it would be mistaken for a mountain range stretching thousands of miles.Nearly six or seven hundred battles in front of Tugang, there are Wei Jun's rangers, cruising non-stop to guard the movements of Liang Jun here.

Feng Yu reined in the reins and ordered: "The order of our army is to set up camp in front of Wocangang here. In addition, fifty longbow chariots were dispatched, and a group of heavy cavalry dispersed the nearby Wei army's rangers. Pay attention , just disperse, and don’t pursue, those who disobey the order will be killed!”

Feng Yu's military order was quickly conveyed, and thousands of Liang army cavalry began to patrol and guard the foot of Wocangang, and the rest of the soldiers began to set up camps along the foot of Wocangang.In the distance, there were bursts of painful humming and whining and the neighing of horses.Those Wei army rangers were shot off their saddles by heavy arrows from time to time, and they rolled on the ground in pain.After a while, those rangers of the Wei army fled to the north, but they didn't run far. Seeing that the Liang army didn't catch up, they regrouped two miles away from the mound, but they didn't dare to approach easily again. The mound is gone.

Liang Jun's phalanxes were deployed one by one, and then under the guidance of the army officials, more than [-] phalanx cavalry teams were deployed in order along the foot of the Tugang Mountain, and set up camp on their respective assigned sites.

Chapter 681 Kicks off

In the Wei army camp, two paper "lift-off lights" slowly landed on the ground, and Sima Yi and Deng Ai came out of the hanging basket one after another.Some of the generals of the Wei army who had been waiting here went up immediately, but some of them stood still and greeted Sima Yi with a military salute from a distance.Those who took the initiative to greet them were almost all from the family members of the shogunate of General Sima Yi, while those who stood still were naturally the Cao family of the Wei army, the Xiahou family or the generals who were inextricably related to these two clans.

As soon as Deng Ai approached Sima Yi, the latter said: "Shi Zai, based on this observation, tell me what you think of Liang Jun."

Deng Ai clasped his fists and said: "Then the general will show his shame." After finishing speaking, he began to speak eloquently: "Just now the end general made some observations and found that there are 26 cavalry teams in Liang Jun's phalanx, and each phalanx has [-] to [-] horsemen. Among them, there are fifteen infantry phalanxes, seven cavalry formations, and four scattered chariot formations. Among these forces, the four Longbow Chariot Regiments of the Liang Army are the most threatening. The second is the heavy cavalry in the cavalry. However, as long as Liang Jun’s longbow chariots are destroyed, our army can use a large number of long spear phalanxes to cooperate with tiger and leopard cavalry to wipe out Liang Jun’s war cavalry. The remaining [-] or so infantry It's not a problem anymore."

After listening to Deng Ai's words, Sima Yi arched his hands, squinted his eyes and glanced in the direction of Liang Jun and said: "In order to destroy their longbow chariots, we have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to lay traps for Liang Jun, let's see them attack!" Don't be fooled."

As soon as Sima Yi's words fell, drums and horns sounded from the Liang army's position on the opposite side, and the three Liang army formations were divided into left, middle and right, and rushed towards the Wei army's company battalion.Soon, the soldiers rushed to report: "Report! Tell the general that about 6000 to [-] troops from the Liang army are coming straight to our army's military camp."

Sima Yi chuckled and said, "Feng Yu is a little impatient. He came here to find out the truth before the camp was set up."

General Wei on the side, and Chen Qun, who was also one of Cao Pi's confidantes with Sima Yi, said: "Since the Liang army is only here to find out the truth, our army only needs to shoot the opponent's position with bows and crossbows. There is no need to fight."

At this time, Deng Ai looked at the shield wall approaching the Wei camp and said: "No, our army must go to battle. Otherwise, if they approach our camp, they may find some traps we specially set up for their chariots."

Sima Yi said with a stern expression: "That's right. Not only do we have to go to battle, but we also have to go to battle quickly. An order has been sent to order Xiahou Dun's troops to immediately set out from the camp to face the Liang army."

In the distance, Yan Yan, a veteran of the Liang Army, is commanding the army to move forward.From a distance, he saw that the walls of the three adjacent Wei Junying camps in the middle suddenly "collapsed" for a large section.Three huge Wei army formations came out from the gap in the wall of the village.Yan Yan couldn't help sighing: "Wei's formation is really fast."

In fact, Yan Yan didn't know that these three Wei armies belonged to the generals under Xia Houyuan's command. The reason why they moved so quickly was that they had already formed an army formation in the camp and kept it in formation every day.In addition to defecating, every soldier eats and even sleeps in the position.This was done in order to respond to Liang Jun as quickly as possible.At present, these three Wei armies have evolved into two phalanxes and one cavalry.The two phalanxes are infantry phalanxes dominated by pikemen, with sword soldiers in the front row and crossbowmen in the back row.The cavalry team is composed entirely of tiger and leopard cavalry.Each Wei army has 5000 troops.

The one-eyed Xiahou Dun commanded the fifteen thousand or so troops, and quickly greeted Yan Yan's army in a reverse shape.The two spear phalanxes are in front, and the tiger and leopard cavalry are behind.As the "quick response" army formation in the Wei army, Xiahou Dun's troops are already very elite compared to the rest of the Wei army.In the two infantry phalanxes, the proportion of regular soldiers was as high as [-]%, not to mention the five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry.

Even so, in the infantry phalanx, the pale faces of those young men who had been auxiliary soldiers not long ago showed nervous expressions.During the intense training during this period, they also possessed the ability to move with the military order and mechanically stab the spear according to the password.

More than [-] soldiers, connecting the sky and the earth.Xiahoudun's men and horses were no exception, and the Liang army's army formation, which seemed broad at first, seemed a little smaller in comparison.When the two sides were a hundred battles away, the longbowmen in the back row of Liang Jun's infantry phalanx stopped in unison, and inserted a circle of horse-repelling poles with sharpened ends around them.Dozens of hundreds of arrows rushed towards Wei Jun. These arrows were not heavy arrows commonly used by longbowmen, but arrows that could shoot farther and had slightly longer shafts than ordinary arrows.

Xiahou Dun saw the arrows coming from high altitude, the general in front shouted: "Raise the shield", but the general in the middle shouted: "Shake the gun!" The frontmost row of swords and shields raised their hands Large shields in his hands, these shields have been replaced by large rectangular scull shields from the large household shields that Wei Jun used to.The arrows with a small incident angle were blocked by the shield wall formed by these scull shields, and they were nailed to the shield, and none of them caused damage to the Wei Saber player.

The spearmen of the Wei army in the rear shook their spears quickly, and the entire forest of Wei army spears shook violently like a bamboo forest blown by a gust of wind.Some of the arrows were missed, but some arrows still shot into the thinly armored body of the spearman of the Wei army, and fell to the ground amidst screams.Countless footboards stepped on their corpses without hesitation.

Some of the arrows also hit the tiger and leopard rider, but at this time the strength of these arrows was at the end of their strength.It couldn't shoot through the heavy armor on the tiger and leopard cavalry, and it didn't cause much damage.

After Army Commander Liang shot several rounds of arrows, the distance between the two sides was less than fifty battles.The crossbowmen behind Wei Jun also began to shoot at Liang Jun.Yan Yan roared loudly: "Heavy cavalry, light cavalry, attack left and right, and cover the enemy's two wings!" Following his military order, the heavy cavalry team went to the Wei army's two wings from the left, and the light cavalry team flew to the Wei army's wings from the right.The remaining soldiers of the infantry phalanx of the Liang Army covered their large shields in front of them, or put them over their heads, and patched them together into "turtle shells".The arrow puffed and puffed and shot on the turtle shell, but it couldn't hurt anyone at all.

Seeing Liang Jun's war cavalry attacking, Xiahou Dun snorted and said: "Tiger and leopard cavalry, divide into two groups, attack left and right, and meet the enemy cavalry!" Following his military order, the five thousand tiger and leopard cavalry were also divided into left and right groups. He rushed out from behind the two long spear phalanxes, and charged towards Liang Jun's cavalry formation.

In just a few breaths, the tiger and leopard cavalry on the right wing of the Wei army and the heavy cavalry on the left wing of the Liang army passed by. While the horses roared and neighing, many knights on both sides fell off their horses. Of course, the Wei army suffered far more casualties than the opponent.

The tiger and leopard cavalry on the left wing of the Wei army failed to intercept the opponent's Qingqi, because Liang Jun's Qingqi Feiyu suddenly ran away to one side when the distance between the two sides was less than [-] battles. shoot arrows.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the infantry phalanxes of both sides also collided.The prelude to the Battle of Baimadu finally kicked off...

Chapter 682 The Rolling Chariot

What the two thousand Liang army spear shield soldiers faced were two spear phalanxes of the Wei army totaling [-] people.Originally against the spear phalanx, the slingshot on the shield of the gun shield soldier was the most effective weapon.But the large scull shields in the hands of the row of swords and shields in front of the spear phalanx of the Wei Army formed a long shield wall, and the fool also knew that the bullets shot directly from the slingshot could not cause any damage to the soldiers of the Wei Army behind the shield wall.Therefore, Liang Jun's gun and shield soldiers omitted this step and directly attacked the Wei Jun phalanx.

Two thousand pairs of ten thousand people, in order to prevent the Wei army from attacking the Liang army's wings from left and right, Yan Yan ordered the spear and shield soldiers to pull apart during the last march.From the original rectangular military formation to a long strip formation with only three rows in depth.At this time, the distance between the shield walls of the two sides was less than ten battles.

Yan Yan shouted: "Cast!", and the two thousand spear shield soldiers threw their spears in unison, and the two thousand spears crossed the sky above the shield wall of the Wei army along the arc trajectory, and rushed downward.At such a close distance, Wei Jun's long spear array had no time to order to shake the gun to cover it.

In fact, even if Wei Jun shook the gun forest at this time, he couldn't stop the dense spear guns coming like torrential rain.Because the principle of shaking the gun forest to block the arrow is not to turn the direction of the arrow.

With such a dense phalanx crowd, even if the arrow deviates from the original direction, it is possible to shoot into the body of another target.The main purpose of blocking the arrow is to dissipate the kinetic energy of the arrow through the friction between the gun shaft and the arrow shaft, thereby reducing the lethality of the arrow.But the kinetic energy of the spear gun is nearly ten times that of the arrow, and the kinetic energy that can be eliminated by this friction is very small.Therefore, there were bursts of screams and wailing in the dense array of spears of the Wei army.

A large number of spearmen of the Wei army were pierced through their bodies by random spears, and their heads fell in a pool of blood.Although these pikemen who had only undergone a short-term training were all terrified, and some even peed on the crotch on the spot, but under the constraints of the huge army formation, everyone still stood upright with their long spears and moved forward mechanically.The positions of those who died were quickly filled by those who came later.

After Liang Jun's two consecutive rounds of javelin throwing caused nearly 2000 casualties in Wei Jun, the two sides finally began to confront each other.The Wei Jundao players in the front row all squatted down.Lay the large shield flat on the ground.The pikemen in the rear put down their dense spears in unison, stabbing at Liang Jun's shield wall indiscriminately.

The spears in the hands of Liang Jun's gun shield soldiers were much smaller than the length of the opponent's spears, and they couldn't get close to the porcupine-like array of Wei Jun's spears, so they could only throw the last spears in their hands at Wei Jun one after another.

Yan Yan saw with his own eyes that a Liang soldier near him threw the last spear in his hand at the Wei army formation.The spear pierced directly through the chest of a Wei Bing who was facing him, and that Wei Bing fell forward without saying a word.But immediately followed by another Wei Bing standing on his back.

Immediately afterwards, at least a dozen long spears stabbed at Liang Bing, and Liang Bing quickly blocked it with his large shield.Following a series of muffled sounds from Pengpeng, the spear blades pierced the large shield one after another, most of them pierced through the shield surface, but were stuck at the widest point of the spear blade.More than a dozen spears pushed Liang Bing back a few steps, and he didn't stop until he was held back by Liang Bing in the back row.But at this time, the two long spears passed over the shield and pierced his head.Liang Jun tilted his head and fell to the ground together with his shield, becoming another casualty on the battlefield.

In another position, Liang Jun's army was at the vanguard, and there were two tall figures that looked quite abrupt. They were giant ape soldiers deployed in the front row.The long swords of the giant ape warriors were almost as long as those of the Wei army's spearmen, and the two long swords were seen swaying left and right. In the light of the swords and the shadow of blood, several Wei army spearmen were beheaded to the ground.The giant ape warrior took another big step forward, and the long knife changed from chopping to stabbing straight, stabbing down two more Wei soldiers in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, seven or eight long spears shot at the giant ape soldiers from left and right.Some of the spear points slashed through the iron armor of the giant ape warrior in a sea of ​​sparks, and some pierced through the iron armor but could not enter.This is not surprising, the Wei Army's spearmen were originally composed of auxiliary soldiers.They are malnourished and weak due to lack of food, so the strength of the spear is limited.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the spear and shield soldiers around the giant ape warrior took the opportunity to attack the gap in the long spear formation with swords and shields.After getting close to the spearmen of the Wei army, he brandished a dagger and slashed at the surrounding Wei soldiers.

In just a quarter of an hour, the formations of the two sides were in a state of dog-tooth interaction. In the fierce fight, soldiers from both sides were killed every second.The war cavalry on both sides were also deadly.

The heavy cavalry of Liang Jun, who was fighting with the tiger and leopard cavalry, suffered casualties on both sides.However, compared with the two thousand Liang army heavy cavalry compared with the more than two thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, the former obviously has an absolute advantage.More and more tiger and leopard riders were swept off their horses by spears and maces.The defeat of the tiger and leopard cavalry of the Wei army has appeared.

Those tiger and leopard riders who chased Liang Jun Qingqi Feiyu chased for nearly ten miles, but the distance between them became farther and farther away, so they had to turn their horses and return.When they returned, they were attacked by more than a dozen Liang Army longbow chariots on the way.One after another, the arrows shot precisely at these Wei army tiger and leopard riders, and almost every arrow had a tiger and leopard rider knocked off their horses.These tiger and leopard riders knew that they could not catch up with these longbow chariots, so they rode their horses and fled in the direction of the Wei army's company battalion.More than a dozen longbow chariots were chasing after him, and continued to shoot heavy arrows while chasing.

There was a muffled sound from the canopy, and a two-wheeled chariot suddenly soared into the air, rolled sideways in the air, and landed on the ground. When it landed, the longbowman in the carriage had already been thrown away several times, and his seven orifices were bleeding. and died.The two draft horses were also brought down to the ground by the body that was still rolling on the ground.The driver of the carriage also just fell in front of the horse's hoof, and was directly crushed by the galloping horse's iron hoof.

The rest of the chariots thought that the wheels of the chariot happened to be crushed on the boulder, so they didn't care, and continued to chase.But after a while, the tiger and leopard riders who were being chased in front suddenly made a big circle, and instead outflanked them like the flanks of these longbow chariots.When they came around, they deliberately divided into several groups and galloped towards different positions around the longbow chariots, as if they intended to surround these longbow chariots.

But these are very funny in the eyes of Liang Junled, who commands these longbow chariots.The speed of the longbow chariot was extremely fast, and there were only two thousand tiger and leopard cavalry of the Wei army chasing them. How could it be possible to surround them?What's more, there is Liang Jun's Qingqi Feiyu nearby who will turn around and fight back against these Wei Jun at any time.

So the team didn't care about it at first, and continued to play as usual in accordance with the usual method of retreating when the enemy is close and chasing when the enemy is far away.Lead these longbow chariots to go in the same direction as those tiger and leopard riders, deliberately keeping a distance from each other.The arrows still shot out one after another.

Chapter 683 The Last Longbowman

The dozens of longbow chariots chasing the tigers and leopards, with another rumbling sound, one longbow chariot overturned to the ground again.The longbowman and the driver were thrown out of the carriage for seven or eight battles. The longbowman's body rowed on the ground for a long time before finally coming to a stop, but was immediately run over by another chariot that was too late to stop the horseshoes, and his body was crushed. Grind it into two sections in an instant.

In the next quarter of an hour, more and more chariots either overturned on the ground or rolled into the air, and the longbowmen who fell to the ground were either dead or injured.The remaining seven or eight longbow chariots saw that something was wrong, they turned their horses around and galloped in the direction of Wocan Gang.However, some vehicles were suddenly bounced and overturned while galloping fast.Some riders and longbowmen began to exclaim: "This is a man-made trap! Wei Jun has tampered with the ground!"

They had to slow down the speed of the car, but as a result, the tiger and leopard riders behind quickly caught up.Seven or eight longbowmen were still shooting heavy arrows to the rear one after another.Although the tiger and leopard riders fell off their horses one after another, more than two hundred tiger and leopard riders still rushed towards them like a torrent.

"Withdraw to the original road! Our chariots will be able to gallop on the original road!" Someone in the Liang army shouted loudly.

But a desperate voice quickly replied: "The original road is full of Wei cavalry!" The longbowman and riders looked around, and the direction of the original road was indeed filled with tiger and leopard cavalry.In fact, the tiger and leopard cavalry were divided into several groups, and all places where the chariot could travel quickly were sealed off.

An elderly longbowman's expression became serious, and he shouted to the people around him: "It doesn't matter if we die here, the important thing is that we have to go out and report the news alone. Let Shangfeng know that Wei Jun has done something here. Hands and feet. Otherwise, thousands of our brothers will be planted here in the future!"

After finishing speaking, he pointed his hand at the youngest longbowman and said, "Li Yao'er has no need to marry a wife, brothers will try their best to send him out!" The other longbowmen and riders said together without any hesitation. Well, they all turned the reins and drove in the direction of the original road.After bumping all the way to the original road, he let the horse gallop, and rushed towards the large group of Wei Jun tiger and leopard horses like a whirlwind.With all their strength, they shot heavy arrows at the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry one after another.

The tigers and leopards rushing ahead rode under the sound of arrows piercing the air, unceasingly dismounted their horses, and were immediately trampled to pieces by the galloping warriors.

The longbow chariot at the front was only three battles away from the tiger and leopard cavalry. The old archer on the chariot was pulling the bowstring to its fullest with the last of his strength.One of the generals in the Wei army who rushed forward rushed towards his chariot with a gun, and the two sides staggered for a moment.The spear of General Wei Jun shot like a rabbit, and stabbed straight at the longbowman's chest.But when the tip of the spear was still two feet away from the opponent's chest, the opponent's heavy arrow sank into his chest, and broke out from the back of his chest.

The tiger and leopard cavalry general of the Wei army suddenly lost strength and direction in his spear, and rolled down the horse with its owner.But then two tiger and leopard riders passed by the two sides of the chariot, and a spear pierced into the rider's body in a blink of an eye.Another lance pierced the longbowman's left shoulder socket.The longbowman ninja was in severe pain and swung the longbow in his right hand.The flying longbow and high relative speed hit the tiger and leopard rider's face.There was a crisp sound of bones and flesh being shattered, and the face of the tiger and leopard rider was already a bloody mess.

The chariot horses, which had lost two masters, continued to gallop.The tiger and leopard riders in front did not dare to stop them forcefully, so they could only spread out to both sides.The rest of the chariots followed behind.Someone in the Wei army shouted loudly: "The lord has an order, not to let them go alone, otherwise they will be subject to military law. Stop their charge quickly! Stab their horses and kill their draft horses!"

As soon as the words were finished, countless lances stabbed at the two horses from left and right. The horses whistled and neighed, and the horses reversed and overturned.The rest of the chariots that followed two or three battles away hastily turned around and continued to rush forward.After so many repetitions, at the cost of losing six chariots, Liang Jun finally broke through the interception of Wei Jun's tiger and leopard cavalry.But at this time, only the longbowman chariot named Li Yao'er remained.Ren Jiu had dozens of tiger and leopard riders standing in front of them more than a dozen battles away, and the two riders had rushed to less than three battles away from him, and the tiger and leopard riders who were left behind turned their horses to chase after them. Come.

Li Yao'er gritted her molars tightly, and released two arrows in a row, knocking down the two tiger and leopard riders who were approaching.When the last arrow was shot, the opponent's spear tip was only less than three feet away from his face.When he pulled out the arrow again, he found that the rider in front of him had already bent down and hung on the shaft of the car. He was obviously killed in battle, probably pierced through the body by the previous tiger and leopard rider with a lance.And dozens of tiger and leopard riders had come towards him from all angles in front, Li Yao'er knew that he was bound to die, and despair appeared on his face.

At this critical moment, accompanied by the sound of horses whistling and neighing, the dozens of tiger and leopard riders suddenly turned around.Li Yao'er noticed that there was a dense rain of arrows falling from the sky, and he put his hood on these dozens of tiger and leopard riders.And farther away, a large number of Qingqi Feiyu appeared. They were the right-wing Qingqi who had been chased by the tiger and leopard cavalry before.Seeing that the tiger and leopard riders stopped chasing them, they turned around and killed Li Yaoer just in time.

Although the heavy armor of the tiger and leopard cavalry can withstand the arrows of Qingqi Feiyu at a certain distance, the arrows of the latter are so dense, and their war horses are only covered with armor on the front, but their rear is bare.In this way, many arrows were shot at the parts of the riders not covered by the armor, as well as the horse's buttocks and hind legs. Some people couldn't bear the severe pain and fell off the horse.What's more, the horses were hurt and frightened, and they ran out of control, so the dozens of tiger and leopard riders scattered away in an instant.

As soon as the Qingqi flying feathers gathered beside Li Yaoer, the latter shouted: "Brothers of Qingqi, escort XX out quickly, XX is not afraid of death, XX has important military information to report to the peak!"

The captain commanding the Qingqi looked around and found several longbow chariots overturned on the ground, as well as the injured horses and the corpses of the longbow riders. Hurry up and protect this brother, let's retreat!" After saying that, someone pulled Li Yao'er onto his horse and galloped back with the cavalry.

At this time, Yan Yan and Xiahou Dun felt bad on the central frontal battlefield.One is seeing his infantry formation crumbling and about to be overwhelmed by the opponent's spear formation, and the other is seeing his right-wing tiger and leopard cavalry being defeated by the opponent's left-wing heavy cavalry.Once their own cavalry is defeated, those heavy armored cavalry will launch a surprise attack to the rear of their two long spear phalanxes, and the consequences will be disastrous.

The two men gave the order to withdraw troops almost at the same time, and the gong of withdrawing troops sounded in the formations of the two armies at the same time.The infantry phalanx that had been engaged in a fierce confrontation immediately disengaged and each retreated to the rear.After the cavalry staggered past, they no longer turned around to charge again, but rushed back to the base camp separately.

Chapter 684 A Scoop of Cold Water

At the end of the first battle between Yan Yan and Xiahou Dun, the various ministries of the Liang Army set up camps in front of Wocangang one after another.Although it can't claim to have a hundred miles of battalions like Wei Jun, but at a glance, the camps are endless, connecting the sky and the earth.

On the second day, in Liang Junzhong's tent, the longbowman named Li Yao'er was summoned by Feng Yu.Most of Liang Jun's important generals are also sitting in the big tent.

After Li Yaoer kowtowed to the mountain and called Long Live, he narrated to Feng Yu exactly what happened to the longbow convoy to which he belonged.After hearing this, Feng Yu said: "Li Yaoer, the information you provided is very important. Those of your comrades will not die in vain, they have made great contributions to Daliang Jian. Don't worry, I will avenge them, and find the bodies after the war It will definitely be honored with a generous burial." Then Feng Yu made some rewards to Li Yao'er, and just let him withdraw from the Chinese army.

After Li Yaoer left, one of the generals came out.This person is none other than Wei Yan who surrendered to Liang during the Pengze War.He originally guarded Jiangxia, but after Jiangdong was swallowed by Liang Jun, Jiangxia was no longer the front line, so he was transferred to the northern battlefield by Feng Yu.Wei Yan's army came here with Zhao Yun's army.Wei Yan's army is mainly responsible for the security and patrol around Baimadu.

At this time, Wei Yan said: "Your Majesty, after receiving the news of Li Yao'er yesterday, I sent scouts to investigate overnight. To the south of the Wei Army's company camp, within a radius of nearly ten miles, most of them were excavated in disorder. It is an interlaced gully less than two feet wide and about one foot deep. In addition, they also buried many wooden stakes in the grass to overthrow our army's longbow chariot."

Feng Yu then said: "Actually, we should have expected that the Wei army would use digging and burying piles or similar means to deal with our army's longbow chariots on the battlefield. After all, this is the battlefield they pre-selected. Before the battle, the main team manually changed the terrain, which is also a common method used by military strategists."

Feng Yu stopped talking when he said this, and turned his eyes to the generals, meaning to ask them to express their opinions.Therefore, Wei Yan answered from the side: "Your Majesty, I think that Liang Jun doesn't need to fight on their preset battlefield."

Yan Yan who was on the side immediately responded: "But now, we are confronting Wei Jun at such a close distance, and it will affect the whole body. Once we pull out the camp and transfer the whole army, Wei Jun may mobilize the army and try our best to attack our army. And strike, the consequences are unimaginable."

Wei Yan continued: "Old General Yan, don't worry, wait for someone to finish speaking. What someone means is not to transfer the whole army. It's just that the place of the decisive battle is still in this position, but during the decisive battle, the specific position of the battle can be changed. We Several legions and five to six phalanxes can be used to restrain the Wei army's attention, and at the same time, let the rest of the phalanx make a big detour to the rear of the Wei army's company battalion, and insert them into the position between their company battalion and Yecheng. Then they launched an attack from the rear of the Wei army. They didn't expect our army to appear in the north of their company, so it is unlikely that they would set up some traps and hidden piles specially designed to deal with our longbow chariots like the south of the company. As long as our army formation reaches the north of Wei Jun's company camp, whether it is to ensure that our food roads will not be cut off, or to ensure the safety of our camp, or to ensure the safety of Yecheng, Wei Jun must turn around and go north to meet Our army is engaged in a decisive battle in that field. If the Wei army is attacked from the front and back, and is out of the expected battlefield, our army will definitely win in one battle."

Wei Yan's bold plan immediately sparked heated debate among the generals.Huang Zhong first clasped his fists and retorted: "Your Majesty, General Wei Yan's idea is really bold and strange. But the veteran thinks that there are many unknowns in it. For example, did the Wei army really set up traps and hidden stakes for the longbow chariot in the north of them? It can be imagined how long it will take for tens of thousands of soldiers to make a detour to the rear of the Wei army. How can we guarantee that the Wei army will not find out and take contingency measures? In addition, we only have a few phalanxes with a force of up to [-] people. Guarantee that they will not be defeated by the Wei army before the main force is in place?"

Huang Zhong's words aroused the support of many generals.Zhao Yun also agreed with Huang Zhong's opinion, thinking that Wei Yan's strategy was not feasible.He added to Huang Zhong's words: "In addition to the points that General Huang said. Also, we went around to the rear of the Wei army in the north. If the Wei army defeated our army lying in Cangang first, then the main force of our army would be caught in the middle." Between the company of the Wei Army and Yecheng, there are enemies on both sides. How can we ensure that no army comes out of Yecheng and stabs us in the back?"

The few generals who originally supported Wei Yan's strategy fell silent after hearing what Zhao Yun said.A group of people who opposed the risky move nodded in agreement.Wei Yan also fell silent, bowing his head and thinking.

At this time, Feng Yu said: "Wen Chang's strategy is not impossible. If Wei Jun really didn't set up a trap to guard against our longbow chariots in the north of their company battalion, we can transfer the final battlefield there. You mentioned the time and concealment of the main phalanx, and the problem of whether the phalanx used to attract the Wei army can be easily resolved. But the most important thing is that the Wei army really did not set up traps and hidden piles in the north. If this condition If it is not established, it is meaningless to discuss other things.”

At this time, Wei Yan went out to Feng Yu and said with the courtesy of a monarch and minister: "Your Majesty, I will send scouts to investigate the area north of Wei Jun's company battalion."

Feng Yu smiled and said: "No need, at midnight today, I have sent the most elite scouts in the Habayashi Legion to infiltrate the north for investigation. At this time, I should be back."

Wei Yan said pleasantly: "It turns out that His Majesty also has this plan!" He thought it was an honor for him to be able to think of Feng Yu together.

Not long after Wei Yan finished speaking, a scout general from Yubayashi came to report: "Your Majesty, this minister and twelve robes under his command sneaked into the north of Wei Jun's company camp early this morning, and found a lot of hidden traps there."

These words poured Wei Yan out like a ladle of cold water, so the discussion of the generals just now seemed meaningless.There was no disappointment on Feng Yu's face, he was silent for a few breaths and said: "Even so, we can still change our strategy according to the strategy mentioned by Wen Chang..."

At the same time, in the big tent of the Wei army camp.Sima Yi also discussed with a group of Wei generals how to defeat the enemy.Deng Ai said angrily: "In the end, one person was let go. After all, Feng Yu knew our secret. Now he must be thinking of a way to deal with it."

Xiahou Dun's face was as suffocated as a pig's liver, and he stood there without saying a word.

Sima Yi rescued him and said, "It's not Yuan Rang's fault. Even if the archer Liang Jun didn't run out, Feng Yu could have guessed it. Even if Liang Jun didn't send out this small team of chariots, Feng Yu might have thought of this and sent out scouts." To investigate."

Chapter 685 General

Seeing that Sima Yi excused Xiahou Dun, Deng Ai no longer entangled in this matter.He cupped his hands to Sima Yi and said, "General, what should we do now?"

Sima Yi smiled slightly at the generals and said, "I would like to hear your opinions first." Although Sima Yi is still a grand master, he has been named a general by Cao Pi. address him.

Cao Xiu clasped his fists beside him and said, "General, the general believes that with the absolute superiority of our army's strength, the whole army can launch a surprise attack on Wocangang at dawn on a certain day. The Liang army will be caught off guard. Win it all."

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "Feng Yu warned more than a rabbit. A surprise attack on this kind of person may not only be useless, but also follow his way. Besides, after I watched him set up camp, he began to spend day and night in Wocangang. Build fortification barriers on the top of the hill. The Liang army is backed by this post, and it is difficult for us to take advantage of our superiority in strength. Moreover, the soldiers and horses stationed on the high hill have ballistas, spear guns, and shield projectiles. Our pikemen will be very good. It is easy to be bombarded by them to open the gap, and the tiger and leopard cavalry will be shot one by one by their longbow. So we can't trap them on the post. On the contrary, if we do this, the opponent can use the solid base of the mound to attack our army first Kill a large number of people, and then rush out. At that time, our hundreds of thousands of troops will be completely defeated!"

Sima Yi deduced the battle with a few words, and affirmatively came to the conclusion that the Wei army would be wiped out, which made all the Wei generals present moved.

After a few breaths of silence at the scene, Deng Ai stood up from the mat, walked to the sand table in the big tent, and gestured with a branch and said: "Please look, general, this is Baimadu, which lies on the bank of the Yellow River. There is still a distance of about twenty miles, our army can send out a cavalry to raid Baimadu, seize the Liangjun ferry, and burn all the pontoon bridges built by Liangjun on the Yellow River. In this way, the Liangjun grain road will be cut off... "

He was interrupted by Sima Yi before he finished speaking: "This strategy may be useful to other people and other armies. It will definitely not work on Liang Jun, especially the Liang Jun commanded by Feng Yu himself. This commander has studied Feng Yu deeply. All the battles from the Marquis of Zhuyang to today. In order to obtain first-hand information on these battles, the commander spent a lot of money. From these battles, it can be seen that Feng Yu transported the most important food and grass supplies in the battle. The second is to pay attention to scouts and scouts, and to deploy open and secret sentries. Therefore, since he dared to push the army to the north of Wocangang, he must have taken precautions. Don't forget, Shi Zai, Liang Jun has the ability of longbow chariots It is a sharp weapon to restrain our tiger and leopard cavalry on the plain. This commander concluded that if we want to send surprise troops to attack the Liangjun Ferry, it is very likely that we will be surrounded and wiped out by their longbow chariots instead."

At this time, Xiahoudun couldn't bear his temper anymore, and spread his hands together and said, "Grand Master... Oh, General, this can't work, that can't work, how does the General think our 25 army should deal with the Liang army? Why not wait?"

Sima Yi smiled coldly and said, "General Yuan Rang is right, it's just a word. Since Feng Yu crossed the Yellow River so quickly, it shows that he can't bear his temper. As long as the time is delayed, he will definitely die from anxiety." If we act improperly, then we will have an opportunity. In short, because he wants to win the battle quickly, he must fight on the territory set by the commander!"

Seeing what Sima Yi said, everyone fell silent.Seeing that no one spoke, Sima Yi said: "This commander assigns tasks for the generals, Xiahou Dun obeys orders!"

"The end is here!"

"Let you lead the tiger and leopard riders of the headquarters to patrol the surrounding area, guerrilla the enemy's baggage, and scratch the small strongholds of the enemy's lone outside."

"The last general takes orders!"...

"Cao Xiu listens!"

"The end is here!"

"Let you lead the war cavalry of the headquarters, wait for the dry food with you, wait for the opportunity to cross the Yellow River south, and randomly plunder the area occupied by the Liang army. Return when half of the dry food is used up!"

"The last general takes orders!"
