Chapter 701: The Last Battle to Destroy Shu

"Very good, then the most important thing for us in this battle is to drag Cao Cao as much as possible and buy enough time for the two of them. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "The potter's gaze returned to the direction of the enemy formation, and a meaningful look flashed between his eyebrows.

Taking a deep breath, the potter's war knife waved, and shouted: "The whole army, prepare to meet the enemy!" ”

Woo woo woo -

The horn sounded, the royal order was passed down, and the formation of the Wei army changed slightly.

At the front of the formation, the spearmen and halberders retreated, and the sword and shield men quickly stepped forward, forming layers of shield walls, like the Great Wall of steel, across the front of the formation.

The spearmen who retreated behind the formation poked out their sharp blades through the gaps in the shield wall, densely packed like thorns.

After the gun shield, the more than 10,000 crossbowmen commanded by Hou Yi and Yang Youji filled the crossbow strings and were ready at all times.

In the direction of the side and rear, the dust flew up, and the war horses were faintly seen galloping in the dust and mist, indicating that the Wei army, like the Qin army, also lined up the cavalry in the flank and fought at any time.

The potter's large array was obviously a defensive formation, and the intention was very simple: to delay the enemy's frontal impact with the sword and shield men, to guard against the cavalry with spearmen, to strike at a distance from the crossbowmen behind, and to prevent the enemy from turning around and behind the cavalry.

The Wei army's military formation, Cao Cao a mile ago, is in full view.

He could feel that the morale of the soldiers of the Wei army was high, and the subtlety and rigor of the military formation in front of him also made him see that the pottery merchant's ability to arrange troops was much more refined than back then.

"Today's battle is destined to be a vicious battle, but the winner of this battle is only me Cao Cao!"

Cao Cao's confidence burned with pride in his chest, he took a deep breath, pulled out his sword from his waist, pointed at the Wei army, and shouted: "Beat the drums, the whole army will start attacking." ”

Tom tom tom -

In the Qin army's formation, the war drums rumbled, and the Qin Ziwang banner pointed in the direction of the Wei army, issuing an order to the whole army to attack first.

At the front of the formation, nearly 15,000 troops, including the Shu army, under the command of Xu Huang, made a sensation and pressed towards the Wei army.

As Cao Cao's newly excavated infantry general, Xu Huang carried his horse and axe and walked proudly in the formation, while Yan Yan, a veteran general in Shuzhong, could only serve as his deputy general.

Watching his soldiers dispatch, beside Cao Cao, Gou Jian's brows were secretly condensed, and a look of flesh pain flashed in his eyes.

Since defecting to Cao Cao, Gou Jian has been making up all the places, recruiting defeated soldiers, and barely raising 10,000 soldiers and horses.

Gou Jian originally wanted to point to Cao Cao and the pottery merchant's bloody road, he was a good fisherman, who thought that Cao Cao was not so stupid, this critical battle, strongly required Gou Jian and all his Shu troops to also fight.

Gou Jian had no choice but to agree, who let himself send people under the fence, and the hope of recovering the country was all in Cao Cao's hands.

And among the 15,000 soldiers who came out in front of him, there were 5,000 Shu troops commanded by Yan Yan.

Watching his soldiers go out of the horse, Gou Jian secretly prayed to the heavens to bless his soldiers not to lose too much.

The Qin army had already rushed out of the battle, and the potter did not hesitate, and immediately raised his sword and shouted: "Order the horse to aid Cao Shen, and the front army will be dispatched to meet the enemy head-on!" ”

Tom tom tom -

In the Wei army's formation, the sound of war drums also rose to the sky, shattering the sky.

Under the royal order, Cao Shen and Ma Yuan, the second general of the former military department, drank and ordered a large formation composed of nearly 20,000 sword and shield men and spearmen, and marched neatly to meet the enemy's advance.

The infantry army went out of the battle, and Yang Youji and Hou Yi in the back also led the crossbow battalion of the broken army to follow slowly, ready to release arrows at any time.

The two armies were approaching with earth-shattering steps, and in the blink of an eye, they had advanced to a distance of two hundred paces.

The soldiers and horses of both sides entered the range of each other's bows and crossbows.

In the Qin army array, the sound of breaking the sky buzzed, and thousands of sharp arrows immediately rose into the air, roaring towards the Wei army.

Almost at the same time, Hou Yi's side also issued an order to release arrows, and more than 10,000 crossbow arrows of the broken army roared up like meteors in the sky, shooting towards the enemy army overwhelmingly.

In the sky, the sharp arrows of the two armies crossed each other, obscuring the entire sky.

Whoosh!

Bang Bang Bang!

The arrows rained down like a rain, and in an instant, they bombarded the opponent's military formation, splashing bursts of blocking sounds, and countless sharp arrows were flying out by the big shield.

Obviously, both armies have been prepared for a long time, and although each other's arrows are dense, it is difficult to shake the opponent's big shield.

To the sound of their own earth-shattering drums, the soldiers of the two armies were fearless and fearless, and continued to advance fearlessly against the endless falling arrows.

Screams rang out from time to time, blood was quietly staining the earth, although the shield array was strong, there were still gaps, and soldiers in the two armies were constantly shot down.

Stepping on the blood-stained earth, in the blink of an eye, the two armies approached to more than forty steps.

This distance is already the limit distance for breaking through the formation charge, and if you want to break through the opponent's shield formation, you must have enough time to sprint and accelerate.

Xu Huang is worthy of being a good general, the timing is extremely accurate, the distance between the two militaries is nearly forty steps, Xu Huang raised the battle axe in his hand, and shouted: "The whole army, let me break through the enemy formation!" ”

Woo woo woo -

The horn of the charge sounded in an instant, and the 15,000 Qin soldiers, like mad beasts, seemed to have been loosened, and roared wildly and crashed towards the Wei army.

In the rolling dust and mist, tens of thousands of Qin troops crashed into the Wei army in the blink of an eye.

Bang bang bang -

Click-click--

Shields collide with shields, swords slash shields, and halberds pierce flesh...... The two armies collided on the hundred-foot-long battle line, blood flew in the air, dyeing the sky red in an instant, and all kinds of chaotic sounds filled the sky and the earth, swallowing up all the sounds.

On the north bank of the river, east of Yangping Pass, on the wide and flat Hanzhong Plain, the Qin and Wei armies fought a bloody battle.

The Wei army outnumbered the Qin army by more than 5,000 men, and within a moment of this battle, the Wei army apparently began to gain some upper hand.

At this time, it seems to be a good choice to take advantage of the situation and use the whole army to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

He knew very well that the fifteen thousand foot soldiers were just the bait thrown by Cao Cao, in order to induce him to press the whole army, and at that time, it was the time for Cao Cao to launch the deadly weapons of the cavalry.

"Lao Tzu is not fooled...... the potter sneered, did not move like a mountain, and continued to watch the battle.

Passing through the battlefield, a mile away in the Qin Army, Cao Cao was also staring at the chaotic battlefield, and his scorched face was secretly swept over a little gloomy.

Seeing that the main force of the Wei army did not move, Cao Cao knew that the pottery merchant had not been fooled by him, and his strategy of luring the enemy had failed.

"This little thief is so calm, it seems that he is not as arrogant as I imagined......" Cao Cao gritted his teeth secretly, and there was a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

He originally thought that the potters were extremely arrogant, and seeing that his army had the upper hand, he would rely on the advantage of many soldiers and not hesitate to press the whole army, but he did not expect that the potters could calm down to such an extent.

In front of him, the potters were not pressed by the whole army, and the number of their own troops on the battlefield in front was at a disadvantage, if they just sat back and watched, it would not be long before the 15,000 soldiers were defeated, and the consequences were unimaginable.

By this time, Cao Cao could only use the second set of strategies.

Without a trace of hesitation, Cao Cao's Heavenly Sword in his hand drew forward again, and shouted: "Order Yan Liang, order him to lead five thousand elite cavalry to dispatch to bypass the enemy formation for this king and attack the enemy's left flank!" ”

The flag of the Chinese army waved, and the order was quickly transmitted to the flank and rear, where nearly 20,000 Qin cavalry had been waiting for a long time.

"At this moment, Lao Tzu has been waiting for a long time, potter, today is the time for my Hebei Yanliang to take revenge, come and take your life!" Yan Liang, who had been gaining momentum for a long time, roared and came out with a horse and a knife.

Behind him, the five thousand elite Xiliang Iron Cavalry, rolling like a wild current, burst out and approached the flank of the Wei army.

As an old general of the Yuan family, when the Jin Kingdom collapsed, he and Tian Feng had no way out, so they had to submit to Cao Cao and retreat to Guanzhong with Cao Cao.

As the first warrior in Hebei and the strongest cavalry general in Hebei, Yan Liang made great contributions to Cao Cao's unification of Yongliang and forced the Qiang people to surrender, and has been deeply respected and trusted by Cao Cao.

Therefore, at such a critical moment, Cao Cao will let him lead the iron cavalry to battle first.

At this time, Yan Liang not only had the heart to repay Cao Cao, but also did not forget the shame of repeatedly losing to the potter, and today is his revenge battle!

Wrapped in this raging heart of revenge, Yan Liangtong led five thousand elite iron cavalry of the Qin State, bypassing the frontal battlefield and rushing straight to the left flank of the Wei army.

"It turned out to be Yan Liang, and he was an old rival......" Looking at the surging "Yan" banner, the potter smiled coldly, and in his mind, he couldn't help but think of all kinds of things back then.

Back then, he led the Central Plains to Hebei all the way, and defeated Yan Liang again and again in the wars that wiped out Yuan's father and son, until this old general in Hebei fled to Guanzhong with Cao Cao.

Today, when we meet the old enemy again, we are really wronged.

Hui Xu quickly reined in, and the potter's eyes raised with pride and disdain, and he snorted coldly: "Yan Liang, you were a defeated general under this king back then, and today, you are destined to be a defeated general under this king!" ”

Amid the disdainful laughter, the potter immediately sent orders to the generals on the left flank, telling them to smash the approaching enemy cavalry.

The letter rode away, and in a blink of an eye, the order of the king of Great Wei was spread all over the left and right.

There, Wu Zixu, the commander of the left wing, had a flame of excitement on his face, and at the sound of an order, tens of thousands of soldiers tightly clenched the swords and guns in their hands, and their fighting spirit also rose.

Tens of thousands of soldiers, fearless, proudly approaching enemy horsemen.

In the dusty sky, Yan Liang had already led the iron cavalry to kill, leading five thousand light cavalry, passing back and forth from the left flank of the Wei army, constantly pulling the Wei army's formation.

This tactic used by cavalry, he is familiar with the road, and he has used it to the point of perfection.

After wiping in front of the Wei army for the third time, Yan Liang could see at a glance that the Wei army's formation began to be torn apart, and the sword and shield head could not be turned in time, showing flaws.

Yan Liang seized this opportunity, waved his army and rushed forward again, directly attacking the flaws of the Wei army, this time, he really wanted to launch a charge and break through the Wei formation in one fell swoop.

In the blink of an eye, the Qin army's iron cavalry had rushed to within forty steps.

Pairs of rolling enemy horses, Wu Zixu's eyes flashed a trace of weirdness, and he sneered: "It seems that the flaws I deliberately exposed, and I really lured that Yan Liang to be fooled, General Li, it's up to you next." ”
