Chapter 428: Kill Back
It's not that the Shu army doesn't want to block, it's that the impact of the Wei cavalry is too strong, once their spear defense line is torn apart, the entire Shu army's defense line has collapsed, and in the face of the galloping war horses, even if the flesh and blood are blocked, they will be trampled into flesh and mud.
At this moment, every Shu soldier will have a sense of powerlessness in his heart to use his mantis arm as a car, and those who don't want to die can only avoid and avoid on both sides.
The width of the Wei army's attack was about one mile, and the Shu army on the edge of this width was relatively lucky, they could avoid the trampling of the Wei army's iron hooves.
But those Shu soldiers who are in the center of the width are so collapsed in their hearts, they run too far on both sides, it is too late at all, and it is completely futile to run back, because no matter how fast you run on two legs, you can't run on four legs anyway, but in a moment, you will be caught up by the Wei cavalry, either cut down or trampled to death by war horses, and you will not be spared.
The cavalry of the Wei army did not have the idea of mercy at all, even those Shu soldiers who had given up resistance were also crushed all the way.
The battlefield is originally a place where you live and die, and in this place, only killing is the only way to survive, and only when the enemy falls, you will have a glimmer of life.
Zhang Yi was furious and ordered the Shu army to rebuild the defense line to resist the onslaught of the Wei cavalry.
But in the face of this torrent of iron horses, it is not easy to rebuild the defense line, the Shu army has completely lost its courage, and no one dares to step forward to stop it.
The Wei cavalry cut through the waves, quickly killed Zhang Yi's army, and made a road as wide as a mile in the iron wall of the Shu army.
Jiang Wei naturally also noticed the movement of the Wei army, originally he thought that Zhang Yi's army could delay the Wei cavalry, as long as the speed of the cavalry could not be brought up, Jiang Wei could use the crowd tactics to consume them to death, after all, the number of Wei cavalry is limited, more than a thousand cavalry compared to nearly 100,000 infantry on both sides, but a drop in the ocean.
But the strength of this Wei cavalry seems to be far superior to that of ordinary cavalry, the spear formation is completely ineffective against them, and the Wei cavalry can easily tear apart the defense line of Zhang Yi's troops, at this time, Jiang Wei seems to have no good way.
"Spare the cavalry and encircle the infantry!" Jiang Wei readjusted the deployment, since the Wei cavalry can't stop it, then simply let them go and let them break out, anyway, the Wei cavalry is only a thousand people, Jiang Wei's eyes are still staring at the Wei infantry behind, that's the big head!
Yang Hu led the front of the infantry, completely following the pace of the cavalry, and when the cavalry opened a road for them to be as wide as a mile, Yang Hu led his troops to break out along this road.
Naturally, it is impossible for the Shu army to give up the opportunity to encircle, the cavalry can't defeat them, can't the infantry still beat it?
So Zhang Yi's army was on the left flank, and Jiang Wei's army was on the right flank, rushing towards the passage that the Wei army had just opened, as if trying to strangle the Wei soldiers who were passing through and reseal the passage.
The two sides engaged in a fierce battle, and the Wei army poured out while also engaging the Shu army. The offensive of the Shu army was fierce, the passage became narrower and narrower, and the Wei soldiers who broke through this passage became fewer and fewer, until the men and horses on both sides of the Shu army joined forces and closed the passage again.
In the melee, Yanghu still led a lot of Wei infantry to break through, but Xiahouba was still intercepted in the encirclement.
At this time, the four-way Shu army had approached Xiahouba's broken rear army, and the two sides had entered the point of hand-to-hand contact, and Xiahouba's situation had become extremely difficult.
However, Xiahouba seems to have guessed that this is the end, he is not sad, let alone resentful, but shows a pleased smile, Cao Liang's cavalry troops really did not lose his expectations, not only tore a hole and rushed out, but also brought out a lot of Wei soldiers, nearly half of the Wei army survived because of the existence of the Yue cavalry battalion, this result has made Xiahouba very satisfied.
He slowly raised his broadsword, looked at the Shu soldiers who were swarming from all sides, and said awe-inspiring to the Wei soldiers beside him: "Sons, today is the time for us to kill the enemy and serve the country, horizontal and vertical is death, are you willing to be a hero who dies standing and a coward who dies lying down?" ”
All the sergeants shouted in unison: "We are willing to follow the general and fight to the death!" ”
Xiahou Ba laughed and said: "It seems that my Xiahou Ba has won the army, and there is no one of them!" Sons, good job, today we are destined to accompany each other on the Huangquan Road, and we will be brothers in the next life. Come on, kill all these Shu dogs, kill one is enough, kill two to earn one, kill! ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! The Wei army, which was surrounded by heavy encirclement, did not despair at all at this time, but was high-spirited, brandishing swords and guns, shouting in unison, rushing towards the surrounding Shu army, and launched a desperate battle.
Xiahou Ba was even more at the forefront, a big knife was brandished, impermeable, like chopping melons and vegetables, cutting off the heads of many Shu soldiers, and the Shu soldiers were afraid of his bravery, and no one dared to step forward for a while.
Under the encouragement of Xiahou Ba, the soldiers of the Wei army who were trapped in the desperate situation rose up and fought with all their might, although the Shu army was numerous, but it was also helpless to get this remnant for a while.
Yanghu saw the encirclement of the Shu army and the closure of the Shu army, and was worried about the safety of Xiahou Ba, so he wanted to lead the army back.
The soldiers around him hurriedly grabbed him and said: "It's not okay for sheep to join the army, let's finally kill it, wouldn't it be death to kill it again?" ”
Yang Hu glanced at the ironclad defense line of the Shu army, and reluctantly gave up the urge to return, with his little soldiers and horses, if he killed back, it would be no different from suicide.
Yanghu looked at the Yueqi camp in the east again, they had also slowed down after breaking through the encirclement, and some of them had already stopped at the horses, and Yanghu rushed forward without pause, looking for Cao Liang.
Now the only person who can save Xiahou Ba is estimated to be Cao Liang.
Cao Liang led the cavalry's impact, which can be described as enjoyable and dripping, it was simply refreshing, and the faces of every Yue cavalry were full of smiles.
Cao Liang restrained his horse and was about to share his joy with the Yue cavalry, when Yanghu hurriedly rode his horse and said to Cao Liang: "Brother-in-law, my father-in-law is still trapped inside, you should think of a way." ”
Cao Liang glanced behind him, and sure enough, the encirclement of the Shu army was closed again, presumably the broken Xiahou Bafang had no chance to kill it, looking at Yanghu's eager eyes, Cao Liang said lightly: "It's a trivial matter, let's kill it again!" ”
