Jiang Wei for this ambush, in the arrangement of troops or put a lot of effort into the formation, in the west of Seoul, almost all of them are a large plain of Pingchuan, this kind of terrain, in fact, does not use ambush warfare, but the advantage is that the south is close to Hanshui, the Shu army only needs to be deployed on three sides, after the arrival of Zhang Yi and Liao Hua, Jiang Wei's troops have increased greatly, and he is naturally confident to fight this battle.

In the east, Jiang Wei personally led the troops and horses of his headquarters to do frontal interception, and in the west, Wang Ping led the army to block the retreat of the Wei army, and the south was the Han River, which was turbulent and basically could not swim across, so Jiang Wei did not need to send troops to garrison, only in the north, it was necessary to send troops to block the attack, so as to prevent the Wei army from fleeing to the north after being attacked by the front and back.

Due to the large defensive range in the north, Jiang Wei led a soldier and horse with Zhang Yi and Liao Hua to block, Zhang Yi was in the east, connected with Jiang Wei's department, and Liao Hua was in the west, and Wang Ping's department was connected.

The four roads formed a half-moon-shaped encirclement, and Jiang Wei arranged Zhang Yi and Liaohua in the north, just to eliminate the gap between the men and horses and form an iron wall encirclement of the Wei army.

In this battle, Jiang Wei gathered more than 60,000 horses, and he came with the intention of preparing to annihilate Xiahou Ba in one fell swoop. Xiahouba's 30,000 people are a big fish, if Jiang Wei can win a big victory in this battle, it will inevitably completely change the outcome of the battle of Hanzhong.

The Shu army has been in ambush for a long time, and as soon as the Wei army stepped into the ambush circle, Jiang Wei gave an order, beat the war drums, and attacked from three sides at the same time.

The Shu army participating in the battle was basically infantry, because there was no formed cavalry Shu army, but Jiang Wei was not in a hurry to attack at full speed, but lined up in formation, step by step, and slowly approached forward.

The iron wall was encircled, and the Shu army used guns and halberds to build an iron wall, advancing layer by layer, step by step, and compressing the activity space of the Wei army step by step.

The dense forest of guns, the neat and orderly pace, the inspiring drums, the stirring dust and smoke, and the high-pitched shouts of killing, in terms of momentum, the Shu army is the first to seize the people, and wants to use this to crush the fighting spirit of the Wei army.

Cao Liang naturally could not let the Shu army attack in front of him and then fight, although the cavalry had a certain amount of sprint space on the battlefield, if the war horse could not run, there would be no impact at all, and the cavalry would only have an advantage of being a few heads higher than the infantry, and it would not be able to give full play to the combat power of the cavalry.

So Cao Liang quickly assembled the cavalry, recognized the northeast direction, and gave the order to attack.

Although the Yue cavalry battalion participated in the battle of Yangping Pass, whether it was a sneak attack on the city or the subsequent defense of the city, it actually did not give full play to the characteristics and advantages of the cavalry, and it was a warm-up battle at best.

However, the warm-up battle also has the advantage of a warm-up battle, that is, the Yue cavalry battalion can be familiar with this bloody battlefield environment, familiar with the kind of life-and-death struggle that has never been seen in training, after the battle of Yangping Pass, almost all the Vietnamese cavalry are no longer afraid of that bloody feeling.

At this moment, the cavalry charge made the Vietnamese cavalry have a familiar feeling, galloping on horseback, in the galloping of the wind, in order to truly appreciate the power of the cavalry, raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while, this moment is the moment to truly measure the combat effectiveness of the Vietnamese cavalry battalion.

It takes a certain distance and time for the war horse to gallop up from zero speed to the maximum speed, the Yue cavalry needs to warm up, and the war horse also needs to warm up.

Zhang Yi saw the Wei cavalry rushing towards him, and immediately shouted loudly: "Cloth spear formation!" ”

Zhang Yi is also a general with rich experience, served as Zhuge Liang's army, participated in the Northern Expedition, the strength of the Wei army is the cavalry, so the Shu army in the long-term battle, but also found a set of methods to deal with the Wei cavalry, such as the use of inverted horse nails, the use of horse rejection antlers, deep trenches, chariot formations and so on.

However, at this moment, the Shu army is on the way to attack, and it is not easy to use other methods, only the spear formation is the most practical and effective means of defending the cavalry, so when Zhang Yi saw the Wei cavalry rushing over, he did not panic too much, but ordered the Shu army to lay down a spear array to meet the battle, and at the same time mobilized archers, and after the Wei cavalry entered the firing range, he immediately opened the bow and released the arrows.

The Wei cavalry rushed forward like a rainbow, and the archers of the Shu army were hiding behind the pikemen, so that the range was greatly shortened, and after the Wei cavalry entered the range, they hurriedly began to shoot arrows, but the speed of the Wei cavalry was too fast, and the Shu archers could probably only shoot one or two arrows, and the Wei cavalry had already rushed to the front.

The cavalry of the Wei army galloped frantically in the rain of arrows, although some cavalry were hit by arrows and fell, but this torrent of iron cavalry was not substantially delayed, and still rushed towards the spear line of the Shu army at the highest speed.

Cao Liang's specially configured throwing spears played a great role, and the hundreds of cavalry who rushed to the front threw their throwing guns in unison only a few dozen steps away from the Wei army's front.

The spears rained down, and under the acceleration of the Wei cavalry, they were both fast and fierce, pouring towards the Shu army front.

The throwing gun is much heavier than the arrow, at such a high speed, it can naturally produce a strong impact, the Shu army lined up in a dense formation, these throwing guns almost missed, all pierced the body of the Shu soldiers, and even some throwing guns can pierce two rows of soldiers at the same time.

Although the number of Shu soldiers killed by hundreds of spears was limited, its damage to the defensive formation of the Shu army was immediate, which was equivalent to tearing a hole in the defense line of the Shu army.

Zhang Yi was shocked and ordered the Shu army to immediately step forward to fill this gap, but no matter how fast the infantry was, how could it compare to the cavalry, before the Shu soldiers stepped forward, the Wei cavalry had already rushed into the Shu army line, and the two sides entered a hand-to-hand fight.

Once the defense line is torn apart, it is difficult to form an effective defense, and the infantry is naturally weak in the face of cavalry, not to mention that the speed of the Wei cavalry at this time has been increased to the extreme, and this terrible impact is impossible for the Shu infantry to resist.

More and more iron cavalry torrents poured up, on the battle line as wide as a mile, it was like the autumn wind sweeping the leaves, completely crushing everything, the Wei army was invincible, all the way like a bamboo, the mighty advance, the Shu soldiers were irresistible, and they avoided one after another.
