Chapter 314: The Moon Formation

As the patriarch of Cao Wei's clan and the general of the founding of the country, Cao Ren asked himself that everything he did was for the sake of the country.

Cao Pi didn't want to see him, and he didn't want to see Cao Pi and the group of Wenchen under him, he felt that it was those Wenchen who came up with ideas that made the Great Wei country look like this.

Hey, when Meng De was there, he relied on Cao Wei's clan very much, when was it Sima Yi, Zhong Xuan, Jiang Ji, and Chen Qun to come up with ideas?

Cao Ren put on his horse, and gently shook the war knife in his hand, saying in his heart that he must win a big victory in this battle, so that the Son of Heaven can see that the most reliable people in times of crisis are their relatives, not those pedantic scribes.

Mobilizing an army of 40,000 is not an easy task, and Cao Ren is confident that Ding Feng will not be able to take Chang'an in a short time, so he is not particularly anxious.

The Han army outside the city also seemed to smell the smell of Cao Renjun's killing, and began to urgently strengthen the fortifications, Cao Ren looked at the neat and busy appearance of the Han army, and couldn't help but snort.

Ding Feng really underestimated himself, even if the Wei army was not good in water warfare, after all, there were still heavy cavalry corps and infantry far more than the Han army, since Ding Feng had the courage to abandon his martial arts to attack Chang'an, then let the soldiers left behind bear the strong anger of Cao Ren Da Sima for him!

Although Cao Ren, who had experienced a hundred battles, did not take the besieging soldiers left by Ding Feng in his eyes, his years of experience still allowed him to send someone to reconnoiter the layout of the Han army in advance, and this look immediately made Cao Ren laugh out loud -

The scout reported that the Han army actually transported a lot of chariots in the army, and also prepared many warships along the riverbank, this attack did not look like attack and defense, Cao Ren couldn't help but shake his head, and asked casually:

"Who is in charge of the Shu army?"

"Great Sima, I heard that the leader of the army is a countryman named Ma Han, this person was a rural villager not long ago, and he followed Zhao Hao to abuse, and he was in trouble with General Zhang He in the street pavilion."

"Mahan......" Cao Ren repeated the name several times, nodded and said, "Don't be careless, the whole army must act according to the order, don't lose too much and delay too long." ”

Cao Ren would never relax his vigilance against a person because he was from a low background, after all, his old acquaintances Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were all from poor backgrounds, in case this Ma Han was born in the Fufeng Ma clan and was a famous general who was born to fight, wouldn't it be a big trouble.

"The Shu army has a chariot, maybe they want to use the chariot to stop our cavalry from charging into battle, it's really stupid, how many people are there, and they still want to rely on this chariot to keep defending?

Kill them all early, and we can control Weishui again. ”

Compared with Cao Ren, Wang Shuang, who had not had much confidence before, heard that the enemy's general was actually a nobody, and he was immediately overjoyed and took the initiative to ask to fight.

Cao Ren nodded and said, "I will give you 10,000 soldiers and horses, you must not be careless, if the enemy army is strong, I will go out of the city to support you!" ”

The chariot was a very popular combat equipment before the popularity of cavalry, and it could even be regarded as an important symbol of a country's strength.

But with the popularity of cavalry, especially the gradual appearance of saddles and stirrups, chariots have begun to gradually withdraw from the stage of history.

Of course, in addition to the frontal charge, as the war evolves, in order to block the powerful impact of the cavalry, many battles often appear to surround the cavalry into a chariot formation.

But the problem is that once the chariot formation composed of carriages is formed, there will be great problems in advancing and retreating, and they can only blindly defend to the death, which will not have much effect in the face of flexible cavalry and dense arrow rain.

In the previous battles, the Han army also used pikemen to fight against cavalry, and I don't know what kind of mentality it was for this time to take out the chariot.

Does he think that these small car formations can make up for the serious shortage of troops and block the 50,000 elites of the Wei army in the martial arts of complete food and grass?

Ma Han, who was regarded by the Wei army as the general of the Han army, now shivered in the barracks every day, and he forced himself to stay calm and focused, but after all, this was his first time taking on a big responsibility, and every time he thought of Ding Feng's deployment, Ma Han felt that his legs and stomach were cramping.

Ding Feng's generals are all the old team of Zhao Hao's army, both in command and training, Ma Han knows very well in his heart that he is nominally a general but in fact he wants to paralyze the Wei army that may go out of the city to fight.

After all, not long ago, Ma Han was just a small personal soldier of Zhao Hao, although he had worked hard to learn tactics, but he was still much worse than these veteran oilmen.

Now Zhao Hao's strength is constantly expanding, and the number of troops is also expanding, if the new generals have a commander, they can still lead the army they are familiar with, if there is no commander, they can slowly recruit troops from the existing territory,

The Beiwei Army, on the other hand, has maintained no more than 30,000 people, and if there is any battle damage, it will recruit new recruits to slowly train and replenish it.

Even if he is a famous general in history, Zhao Hao will not let him command the Beiwei army until he has made enough achievements - for example, Jiang Wei is now only leading new recruits to play auxiliary, and Ma Han, who was a farmer not long ago, is only nominally a commander although he was cultivated by Zhao Hao.

The real commander of this powerful army is a few generals and colonels brought out by Ding Feng in Jiaozhou, their military rank is not high, they are not more than generals, they did not make any contributions in the previous Northern Expedition, and now they are gearing up, ready to fight with the Wei army.

Ma Han tilted his head to listen to their tactics, but he could only understand a rough idea, he pondered for a long time, and asked modestly: "A few generals, can this really prevent the Wei army from leaving the city?" ”

A general named Yang Quntun raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't General Ma afraid?" ”

Ma Han hurriedly waved his hand and said: "What nonsense, I, Ma Han, am Ma Chao's brother of the same clan, when have I ever been afraid,

Let me tell you, the street pavilion is a hundred times more dangerous than at this time, and I am not fighting to the death, even Zhang Ji was beheaded by me. ”

These generals under Ding Feng were all serving as reserves during the Battle of the Street Pavilion, and they had never fought any battles, which would have been itching in their hearts for a long time, and when they heard Ma Han say this, they couldn't help but show envious eyes, and said:

"I see, but I'm waiting for it to be abrupt."

Ma Han said triumphantly: "It's not that I'm bragging, I fought bravely to kill the enemy when I was in the street pavilion, and I won the champion Hou Qizhong and became a general, even if it was the thousands of troops and horses of the Wei army, my old horse was never afraid."

I just saw that this formation you laid out was a little strange, and I couldn't see the mystery for a while, so I asked. ”

Yang Qun said with a smile: "This is the Moon Formation, which was specially taught to General Ding by the champion Hou before the army, General Ding said, naturally the champion Hou personally arranged it, and naturally it can block thousands of troops and horses, let me wait to manage it well, and we must not let Cao Ren escape from martial arts." ”

But the moon is ......

Ma Han still didn't understand, he felt from these generals that their worship of Zhao Hao had reached the level of blind superstition, and he couldn't help asking: "Speaking of which, I haven't been with the champion Hou for a long time, is he really so godly?" ”

Yang Qun nodded excitedly and said, "Yes, I was originally a pawn in Jingzhou, and after following the champion Hou to Jiaozhou, I followed General Ding around.

You don't know that the champion Hou is in Jiaozhou to promote agriculture, build water conservancy, and open trade roads, and make the barbaric place in Jiaozhou prosperous, just like a fairy who turns stones into gold.

What Cao Wei's cavalry, the sailors of Eastern Wu, are like chickens and dogs in front of the champion Hou, and they are vulnerable. ”

Several other generals also nodded solemnly, indicating that what Yang Qun said was right.

"But the moon array, the champion Hou said that if he can block Cao Ren, then he will definitely be able to block it, if it doesn't work, it is my incompetence,

Since we formed the army, we have been invincible and invincible, and there have been no exceptions, if we can't continue this glory, it's a big deal to die together by the Weishui. ”

Mahan blinked stupidly, he didn't have the experience of selling health supplements after a thousand years, so he was quite confused by the almost demonic reaction of these people,

However, with these fanatical martyrs, he suddenly felt empowered from top to bottom.

However, the moon array, the arc shape unfolded a wide car formation by the river, because the two ends of the river are like a crescent moon, and there are soldiers holding hard crossbows and shields on the car, and the large array lined up is like a city wall, and the sailors are also waiting to support the comrades on the shore on the big boat in the water.

Under the leadership of Wang Shuang, the Wei army rolled out from martial arts and began to kill towards the water, Wang Shuang had never seen such a formation, and he couldn't help but be a little stunned, but he quickly reacted-

What formation, in front of the heavy cavalry is simply vulnerable,.

Ding Feng has already led the main force to the east, and the current Han army only has two or three thousand people, as long as he uses heavy cavalry to kill a bloody road, he can annihilate them all on the edge of Weishui.

Thinking of this, Wang Shuang roared angrily and shouted, "Come with me, beg the thief!" ”
