Chapter 554: The Battle of Destroying Cao (16)
"Jiang Wei, suffer death!" Zhang Fei ran over, less than five zhang away from Jiang Wei, his spear had already been raised, ready to stab him.
Jiang Wei didn't mean to make a move, so he dodged to the side and bypassed Zhang Fei.
Continue to kill Liu Bei.
"Want to go?!" Zhang Fei also turned around to chase after him.
But at this moment, the captain's five hundred cavalry caught up and surrounded Zhang Fei.
"The general has an order, kill Zhang Fei, and reward him heavily! Kill... As he drew his sword and pointed at it, all the cavalry besieged Zhang Fei.
"Death to those who stand in my way!" Zhang Fei was worthy of being the fierce general of the 10,000 enemies, and the Zhangba snake spear flung forward, and five soldiers were immediately sent flying. His power is so violent that it burns everything.
Whoever stands in his way will bear this power.
Jiang Wei had already crossed Zhang Fei and rushed towards Liu Bei.
Wang Ping's pikemen were quickly defeated in the face of the trampling of the Northern Cavalry. But immediately after, the white-haired soldiers led by Chen Zhi came and collided with Jiang Wei.
"It's..." Seeing the special outfit of the white-haired soldiers, Jiang Wei remembered a veteran team in Liu Bei's army, the white-haired soldiers.
The white-haired soldiers are veterans who have followed Liu Bei for many years, from Xuzhou to Jingzhou more than ten years ago, and have always been able to fight well. During this period, the number of soldiers was sharply reduced to 300 men, and they still did not die.
Their combat effectiveness is definitely better than that of the Northern Cavalry.
It's a pity...
They were all infantry troops, and they were naturally restrained by the Northern Cavalry.
Even if they are all elites, it will be difficult to face the impact of the Iron Horseman.
Da Da...
The cavalry running at the front collided with the white-haired soldiers. Jiang Wei saw that all the white-haired soldiers squatted down at the same time, propping up their shields above their heads, forming a shield covered avenue. The Northern Cavalry rushed up the avenue. Then spears continued to pierce up from under the shields and attack the Northern Cavalry.
Burst! Burst!
Countless cavalrymen died under the spears.
Hiss...
Jiang Wei was secretly frightened: "It is worthy of being the elite under Liu Bei, such a tacit understanding of battle is by no means formed in a day or two." ”
"Rush over with me and disrupt their formation!" Jiang Wei did not hesitate to make a decision, taking the cavalry behind him and destroying those shields.
Shatter the avenue formed by the shield.
"Lord, Jiang Wei's Northern Cavalry is about to rush over..." Fa Zheng exclaimed in the distance.
Liu Bei's personal soldiers had already stepped forward to form a formation to protect Liu Bei.
Liu Bei looked left and right, and snorted: "What a joke, our 200,000 army, can't we still be able to defeat Jiang Wei's 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry." ”
"Don't be careless. The cavalry is already good at field warfare, and the Northern Cavalry led by Jiang Wei is extremely combative. Last year's battle in the north was already evident. Now he has the upper hand and forms a suppression of our army. If we fight again, we will have heavy casualties. It is better to retreat first, regroup the army and then fight. ”
"No!"
Liu Bei has his own considerations: "If you retreat, you will be chaotic, and if you are chaotic, you will lose." Jiang Wei is a cavalryman and is fast. He will always hunt us down. When the battle is out of control, the situation will be out of control. ”
"But..."
"Don't. Ordered Shamoke to lead 50,000 barbarians to block Jiang Wei. ordered Guan Xing and Zhang Bao, who went to the west, to abandon their positions and come over to block Jiang Wei's rear.... Liu Bei issued a series of orders.
This order can be summed up in one sentence, that is, to besiege Jiang Wei at all costs!
Shamoko's brute soldiers, poorly equipped. Many of the soldiers didn't even have armor. But they are all brave and good at fighting, not afraid of death, and their combat effectiveness is by no means weaker than Liu Bei's other armies.
The brute soldiers entered the battlefield and engaged Jiang Wei head-on.
At this time, Jiang Wei was competing with the white-haired soldiers, and the battle was extremely fierce.
"It's worthy of a white-haired soldier...." Jiang Wei personally rushed to kill in the enemy formation, and it took half an hour to barely defeat the white-haired soldiers. This is still the result of several times the strength of the troops, and the result of hard and bloody battles. If it was an equal force, the Northern Cavalry would definitely be defeated.
"General, Liu Bei has sent barbarian soldiers to fight." Jiang Wei's lieutenant came over.
"You don't have to fight, follow me to the south to break through." Jiang Wei didn't plan to defeat Liu Bei in this battle. I don't want to fight with Shamoko. Because Shamoke is a barbarian soldier, not Liu Bei's descendant. No matter how many people die, Liu Bei will not feel distressed. Now that he has achieved the results of the battle, Liu Bei has seen the strength of the Northern Cavalry Army, and there is no need for him to fight again.
"Kill..." Under the leadership of Jiang Wei, all the northern cavalry troops went south to kill.
The white-haired soldiers and Wang Ping's subordinates, who had been defeated, couldn't reach it at all, and the barbarians didn't rush up. The Northern Cavalry marched all the way south, and no one could stop them. Quickly rushed out of the battlefield.
Liu Bei watched from behind and became angry: "We have more than 200,000 troops, but we still let Jiang Wei run away." ”
"Lord, we were too careless this time."
"It's good to get out of danger." Fa Zheng had never thought of annihilating Jiang Wei's cavalry, because it would be too difficult.
Now that Jiang Wei has taken the initiative to withdraw, it is the best ending.
Liu Bei's army can also take this opportunity to take a good rest.
Since there were not many cavalry in Liu Bei's army, Jiang Wei's escape was impossible for him to stop and pursue. We can only accept this reality with our eyes and eyes.
Evening.
Jiang Wei ran to the south of Yixian County and set up a station.
Liu Bei also retreated to his camp.
"General, we just got the news that Cao Ren is storming Banpujin, should we go to war? In case Banpujin is lost, Cao Ren's 150,000 elites will enter Hebei. "In the tent, the adjutant general sent a message.
Jiang Wei said: "The lord has already ordered me not to worry about the affairs of Banpujin and guard the Weihe River." We are now facing 300,000 Yizhou troops, we can't be underestimated, let's let Hao Zhao deal with Cao Ren by himself, and we will deal with Liu Bei. ”
"Yes."
Speaking of Liu Bei, Jiang Wei was also a little worried.
He looked at the generals in the tent and said, "Through this battle, we have tested Liu Beijun's combat effectiveness, which is indeed very expensive. No wonder he was able to defeat Liu Zhang and occupy Yizhou. ”
"But he has no cavalry, and the field is no match for us. Next, let's have fun with him... ”
"How is the Admiral going to fight?" It was Zhang Heng of the Northern Cavalry Army who said this.
"The last general thinks that he should raid at night, maybe he can defeat Liu Bei." Cheng Yi Dao.
"Nope. I'm not going to go on a night attack. Jiang Wei shook his head and said: "Liu Bei has been fighting for half his life, and he can be regarded as a good general, he knows that my cavalry is good at field warfare, and it is possible to attack at night, and he will definitely set up an ambush in the camp." How can we fall into the trap? ”
"What does the general mean?" Cheng Yi asked.
"Our task is to hold Liu Bei back and prevent him from crossing the Wei River. It's actually quite simple. Jiang Wei unfolded the map, hung it behind him, and said with a smile: "Look at the bank of the Wei River, there is our big camp, where 20,000 infantry troops are stationed, and there is an ambush in the camp. Liu Bei didn't dare to attack easily. The battle during the day has already shown this, didn't he just retreat after his victory? ”
"And our tens of thousands of cavalry, who can move within a hundred miles of this, may attack him at any time. Moreover, the army of our large battalion echoed us from afar, flanking Liu Bei. Liu Bei did not have a warship, so he could not cross the river quickly, and once he was attacked by me in the middle of the crossing, the whole army would be annihilated. I don't think he'll dare do that. ”
"Therefore, as long as we beat him from time to time and wander around the Wei River, he will not dare to cross the river."
