44, the sound of the iron knight urging the horn (3)

Li Dian didn't know that Yu Ban was worried about his subordinates in Longcheng, so he said calmly:

"The captain doesn't have to worry too much, although General Xiahou is stationed in the army, and it is difficult to rush to help, but when the pawn grain came, I heard that Cao Senjun's army had been stationed in Guancheng, and Guancheng was only more than 20 miles away, if Cao Senjun saw the black smoke of urgently asking for help, he would definitely rush to help."

The reinforcements that Li Dian refers to are stationed in Guancheng and led by Cao Chun, which can not only quickly support the front army, but also occupy the geographical advantage in time to cover the flanks of the army, so if the Cao army rushes to the aid of Ban and Li Dian, the first to arrive should be Cao Chun's department.

Yu Ban replied vaguely, but he was a little disapproving, there was actually a small number of cavalry in Cao's army, at first it was played by the Qian Peiliang family who brought their own horses, and was handed over to Cao Ren to command, and later Cao Cao bought some horses from the Wuhuan people in the north and a small number of war horses that captured the enemy, and then incorporated them into the original cavalry in the army, and then handed over to Cao Ren's younger brother Cao Chun to command.

Although Cao Chun is rarely famous, he is not well-known in the army, and it is only because of his status as a child of the Cao family that he took the position of joining the army in Cao Cao's shogunate.

In the eyes of Yu Ban, he is naturally much inferior to Cao Ren, who broke through Huaisi when he was a child and had quite military merits after joining the army, and I don't know if he dared to lead the army to support after discovering that there were so many Xiliang cavalry here.

After all, this is the notorious and unscrupulous Western Liang cavalry!

Yu Ban, who suffered a big loss under the Xiliang cavalry, while feeling heartache for his nearly 100 subordinates, began to shake off the distractions in his mind and began to seriously focus on the grim situation in front of him.

No matter whether Cao Chun's troops dare to come to the aid or not, at least until the reinforcements come to relieve the siege, he must stick to it and repay the grain and grass without losing it.

After Li Dian's troops set up a car barrier, the guerrilla and cavalry advantages of the Xiliang cavalry could not be brought into play, and they could only temporarily retreat beyond the firing range, scattered far away, faintly surrounded by the Cao army behind the car barrier, and the knights on the horse dismounted one after another, while feeding the war horses, while recovering their physical strength, they closely monitored the every move of Yu Ban and Li Dian's department in the distance.

Some of the rangers galloped farther away, covering the entire battlefield centered on the chariot array, while some of the rangers roamed around the periphery of the chariot array, eyeing the tiger, and from time to time making some tentative and provocative behaviors, wanting to provoke the Cao army behind the car barrier to fight.

Li Dian's response method is very simple, just let the archers rely on the chariot defense, once the Xiliang cavalry approaches, they will shoot arrows, anyway, the cavalry of the Xiliang cavalry, throwing spears to the Cao soldiers behind the car barrier hurt very little, and they are not in a hurry to fight back, as for those provocative and insulting behaviors, they are biased, and they can endure it first.

But Yu Ban felt that it was not so simple, just now Li Dian let go of a lot of livestock pulling carts in order to receive his troops into the battle, wanting to distract the attention of the enemy cavalry, but those Xiliang cavalry were only slightly moved and confused for a while, and soon returned to normal under the constraints of the military order, and continued to hunt and attack the lone Cao army, without being moved by the livestock running all over the ground.

This is something that only a veteran general who has been on the battlefield for a long time and has a high prestige among the soldiers can do!

In the case of the forbidden enemy army, the soldiers had long since begun to disobey military orders, giving up the pursuit of the defeated enemy, and rushing to break away from their own ranks to fight and plunder the cattle that were running around in front of them.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for such elite soldiers and such veteran generals not to know that any further delay will only lead to a reversal of the situation, and the enemy generals will definitely change their methods and choose to attack.

Yu Ban wanted to climb high to see the deployment of these Xiliang cavalry, but their car formation was set up by Li Dian on the edge of the Bianshui River beach, and the highest terrain was not enough to see the Xiliang cavalry scattered in the distance.

However, Li Dian on the side found that after Yu Ban deliberately climbed the height to watch the deployment of the enemy army, he had an idea, and hurriedly asked someone to push an empty car up to the high ground, and set up the car directly, so that the agile soldiers climbed to the top of the car and temporarily acted as a lookout in the military formation.

"The enemy horses are scattered in the distance, some dismount to rest, and some are still searching around, I don't know what they are searching?"

The soldier at the top of the car looked at it for a while, and then said loudly downward.

Listening to the soldier's words, Yu Ban's brows suddenly furrowed, he muttered to himself, thought about it, and after catching a glimpse of the grain and grass piled up on the car, his face changed slightly, and he whispered to Li Dian beside him:

"Oh no, these Xiliang cavalry want to attack!"

"Storming? What does the captain mean, dismount and attack? ”

"That's right, they're just afraid they want to dismount and fight on foot, and use fire attacks to break through the car formation."

Yu Ban remembered the defeat of Bianshui that he had heard in the army before, and couldn't help but say worriedly, the grain and grass here are easy to be ignited by the flames, as long as the enemy cavalry has enough fire-igniting things, the soldiers on their own side are at a disadvantage, and they will definitely not be able to extinguish it.

"Then we will first release the remaining horses and livestock, and then take off the soldiers' single clothes, raids, silks and other flammable materials on the cart, and finally spread mud on the cart, so that we can resist the fire attack of the enemy cavalry."

War horses and livestock are afraid of flames, once the rocket falls on the war horses and livestock, these livestock will not fall straight down to extinguish the fire like people, but will be burned by the flames and run around, which will mess up the inside of the car formation.

The single clothes, raids, and silk clothes, grain and grass baggage, including wooden chariots, are all things that can be ignited, and at present they can only be covered with a layer of silt and wet sand to block and resist the fire attack of the enemy cavalry.

Li Dian's idea coincided with Yu Ban, so the two hurriedly ordered their respective soldiers, subordinates, and people to drive away the livestock, remove the cloth, and carry the sediment, and they were busy in a hurry.

To the northwest, unnamed highlands.

Zhai Hao, who dismounted and put on a horse material bag for his mount, and held a piece of grass in his mouth, saw that there were people running to carry the silt of the river beach in the car formation, his face was suddenly displeased, and he spit out the grass with a snort, and scolded and said:

"These Yanzhou thieves are very vigilant, and this shows that Naigong wants to attack with fire!"

After speaking, Zhai Hao stretched out his hand to pull the grass to test the wind direction, and then withdrew his hand angrily, raised his head and complained:

"Even you, a thief, want the wind to be unfavorable to us, and you can't even use the smoke attack plan now."

As he spoke, the iron armor on Zhai Hao's body rattled, and he leaned over and pulled out a piece of grass on the ground, pinching his head and removing his tail, leaving only the middle section, holding it in his mouth, silently measuring the situation in front of him.

There is no doubt that after the Cao army retreated into the car barrier and ignited the black smoke of the rescue, it meant that Zhai Hao had to break through the car barrier in one fell swoop within half an hour, otherwise the Cao army from other nearby departments might arrive and flank the cavalry under his command before and after.

There is no better way to break the formation at the moment, but if you delay like this, you will only miss the opportunity to destroy the enemy and cut off food in vain, Zhai Hao thought for a while, and finally gave the order to make up his mind to attack the Cao army behind the car barrier.

"Woo-woo-"

Zhai Hao ordered his own soldiers around him to blow the horn of attack, and those cavalrymen who dismounted and rested jumped up one after another, gathered around Zhai Hao's banner in groups, and quietly waited for Zhai Hao's order.

"Coolland athletes, these thieves in front of you can't beat you on the flat ground, and they hide behind the car barrier like rats and insects hiding in holes, thinking that this will be able to block our iron horses, and you say, should we let them go?"

"Don't let them go, kill them!"

"Kill them!"

The Xiliang cavalry gathered around Zhai Hao were all veterans who were fierce and good at fighting, all of them were high-spirited, and they were full of energy, wanting to kill on a large scale, seeing this indomitable momentum, Zhai Hao was very satisfied, and he asked loudly:

"Okay, these thieves hid behind the car barrier, just thinking that their Xiliang cavalry couldn't fight on foot, so today we will tell them with their behavior that the athletes in Liangdi can kill the enemy when they get on the horse, and they are the same strong men who kill the flag when they get off the horse, tell me, do you dare to dismount and fight on foot!"

"Dare, please give the order!"

"I'm willing to dismount and break the battle for the general!"

"Please give the general an order!"

"Okay, then the teams listen to my orders and blow the horns to march!"

Zhai Hao's words to boost morale before the war were very simple, he saw that the morale was available, so he didn't say anything more, and directly ordered half of the cavalry to dismount and line up, preparing to storm Cao's chariot formation.

"Man Cheng, you guard the southeast corner, and let my subordinates guard it here!"

As the horn of the Xiliang cavalry continued to approach again, Yu Ban also saw the enemy troops who dismounted and began to approach the chariot formation, and this time he also gathered his spirit, loudly boosted the morale of his subordinates, and handed over the southeast corner to Li Dian's troops to guard.

At present, it seems that the Xiliang cavalry that dismounted and lined up will take the northwest corner as the main direction of attack, and nearly 100 soldiers have been lost in the forbidden department, Li Dian was worried, thought about it, and still said:

"Captain Yu, your department has just fought a bloody battle, so it's better for my Li clan to guard the northwest corner of this car formation."

Yu Banyan immediately shook his head when he heard this, he seemed to want to defeat the invincible Xiliang cavalry in this infantry battle, resolutely rejected Li Dian's kindness, and ordered his soldiers to line up behind the car barrier, and prepare to meet the Xiliang cavalry.

Seeing this, Li Dian knew that his kindness could not be accepted by Yu Ban, so he had no choice but to give up, waved his hand, and led his Li clan to line up in the other direction of the car formation, ready to resist those wandering Xiliang cavalry and support the forbidden department at any time.
