Chapter 795: Fueling

"Put!" At this time, there was also a loud shout from the left and right sides of the formation, and arrows rose from the military formation, like the sickle of death, reaping life wantonly.

"Disperse, three horsemen in formation, assault the enemy's flank!" The fine armor lord who led the team among the Northern Zhou cavalry also roared, obviously the enemy was very familiar with the consistent tactics of the Northern Zhou cavalry, so now he could only hope that the place where the enemy's two soldiers and horses were connected was not close, so as to cut the enemy first, at least to cover his own soldiers and horses from the battlefield.

The cavalrymen skillfully controlled the horses, and the three cavalrymen formed a conical assault formation and rushed forward. Arrows whistled past them, left and right, and the Northern Zhou cavalry continued to fall off their horses, but because the distance was already very close, they soon rushed into the right flank of Pei Zilie's department.

"Formation!" The knife in Zheng Kaiyuan's hand was raised, as a captain with the right wing, he would definitely not allow the battle line to be torn apart at this time, so that Chen Zhishen and Li Xun would be surrounded by the soldiers and horses of the Northern Zhou Dynasty in turn.

The spearmen and shield-bearers were not afraid in the slightest, and watched as the enemy's cavalry approached in the blink of an eye, and at the same time tightened their blades.

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”--

"Quick, keep up!" Wei Chishun waved his arm, and the small boats quickly shuttled on the surface of the Danxi River, moving thousands of soldiers to the other side.

Tanxi is not wide, but the middle and lower reaches of the water are deep, and it will be dangerous to swim across, otherwise there will be no legend of Uncle Liu Huang's leaping horse in Tanxi, if the water of Tanxi is shallow, Liu Bei does not need to jump over at all, just ride a horse and walk over.

Fortunately, Cao Xiaoda had already prepared the ship, which came in handy at this time.

From this place, the sound of fighting not far away could be faintly heard, and it was obvious that the battle around Longzhong had reached a fierce time, and Wei Chishun could not delay for a moment, and he himself jumped on a boat without waiting for the soldiers on the shore to get on the boat:

"Let's go, let's go!"

The boat on the Tanxi River is also a cup of tea, and it soon arrives on the west bank.

On the west bank of Tanxi, there were already seven or eight hundred soldiers gathered, Wei Chishun jumped down from the boat, several generals and war lords saw Wei Chishun coming, hurriedly stepped forward, Wei Chishun waved his hand: "Take the people under your command, let's go!" โ€

"But ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Several generals looked at the soldiers who had not yet come behind in surprise.

"A hundred less people are not waiting, time is pressing!" Wei Chishun said coldly.

"No!"

โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”โ€”--

At this time, a mile away, the cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty was struggling to advance in the Bashu army formation, and when they rushed in, they realized that the enemy was not as easy to deal with as they imagined, and the Bashu soldiers did not want to fight the cavalry face to face, they just retreated backwards and to both sides, while the crossbowmen who had been waiting on the hillside for a long time continued to pour arrows into the enemy.

Zheng Kaiyuan and Pei Zilie's flags kept moving left and right, and the Bashu soldiers followed these banners back and forth, although the formation was undulating and shrinking like a wave, but it was precisely for this reason that the Northern Zhou cavalry could not find any place to break through.

As soon as they push their horses forward, the enemy strides back and the crossbowmen focus their attention.

As soon as they retreated to find the rest of the breach, the enemy's shrinking formation would unfold again, spears sticking out, forcing them to turn their horses' heads to join their companions.

The speed of the cavalry advance has been completely suppressed, and these Northern Zhou cavalry found a very cruel fact, that is, although they tried to disperse and charge, but the result was that the Northern Zhou army never found a breakthrough, and could only be driven together again.

"Shoot the arrows!" Pei Zilie exhaled softly.

The enemy has become denser and denser, and what is needed now is to completely cover them with arrows. It was not a good decision to use infantry to deal with cavalry, Pei Zilie didn't want to sacrifice so many people, and what could be solved with arrows didn't need human lives.

At this time, Chen Zhishen and Li Xun had already divided and surrounded the Northern Zhou ambush army, and it was only a matter of time before they swallowed them, so it can be said that this melee was about to end with Pei Zilie's victory.

However, before Pei Zilie could relax, a banner appeared on the horizon, and I don't know how many Northern Zhou troops were moving towards this side.

"Order, the cavalry go to the test, remember not to engage in battle," Pei Zilie hurriedly ordered, wave after wave, wave after wave, I didn't expect Cao Xiaoda to really look up to himself.

After completing the task of dispersing and harassing the enemy, the Bashu cavalry was now only helping to clean up the fish that had slipped through the net on the periphery, and immediately turned around when they received the order, and rushed straight towards the Northern Zhou army that rushed over. At the same time, Chen Zhishen's department and Zheng Kaiyuan's department gathered together and retreated to the line at the foot of the mountain, and the crossbowmen on the hillside began to shoot arrows to cover.

The surviving Northern Zhou cavalry was obviously not stupid, and retreated one after another, although they still left behind hundreds of corpses, but at least four or five hundred people survived and retreated to form a formation outside the range of the bows and crossbows of the Bashu army.

At this time, the entire chaotic battlefield finally calmed down.

Pei Zilie's command lined up along the foot of the mountain, with the left wing and the Chinese army in front, and the right wing slightly flanked behind to cover Chen Zhishen and Li Xun and other soldiers and horses who had been tired from fighting for a long time. At the same time, the Northern Zhou army assembled at the junction of the right flank of the Bashu army and the central army, waiting for reinforcements.

Both sides are like beasts that have just experienced a fierce fight and fighting, taking this opportunity to lick their wounds.

"Report, it's the reinforcements of the Zhou people, and the name of the general banner 'Wei Chi' should be Wei Chi Shun!" A scout came quickly.

Pei Zilie bowed slightly, the generals of the Chi family, the lieutenant of Xiangyang City, are only Wei Chikuan and Wei Chishun, it is impossible for such a big war to let unknown people lead the army, and Wei Chikuan, as the nominal commander of the Xiangyang army, cannot leave his post without permission at this time, so only the "old friend" of the Bashu army - Wei Chishun remains.

For Wei Chishun, although Pei Zilie has not fought with him, he also knows that this person can be regarded as one of the more competitive among Captain Chi Hui's sons, and he has been fighting by Wei Chi Hui's side.

Li Xinchen can make Wei Chishun anxious, but it doesn't mean that Pei Zilie also has this ability, especially now that Pei Zilie's soldiers and horses are exhausted after two days of fighting and the short and fierce battle just now, to be honest, Pei Zilie doesn't think it's a good choice to attack now.

This battle of ambush and anti-ambush turned into a fierce battle in which both sides continued to increase their forces in such a vague way, which can be said to be beyond Pei Zilie's expectations, and of course also beyond Wei Chishun's expectations.

Wei Chishun was standing in the formation of the Northern Zhou army not far away at this time, looking at the Bashu army that had already shrunk the defensive line, at this moment he already knew that unless the two sides let go of their hands and feet to fight, it would not be beneficial for the Northern Zhou army to continue to wear down like this.
