Text Chapter 50 Ace vs. Ace

Cao Rui is in the army

Tian Yu and Zhu Ling received the order, and after putting out the triangular front arrow formation, they led the front army to launch a surprise attack, and they were about to break into the Shu army formation. The Shu army was shocked.

Sikong Yang Yi, who was beside Zhuge Liang, hurriedly said, "The prime minister is not good, the Wei army suddenly changed formations, attacked my rear rangers, and wanted to cut off the connection between my two ends." There are few rangers, I'm afraid they are not the opponents of the Ghost and Raid, please send reinforcements quickly! ”

"Good strategy! Liu Ye is worthy of being resourceful, although he can't break my formation for a while, he can avoid the real and attack the false, and he can turn against the guest in an instant. Zhuge Liang said calmly, "Wei Gong should not panic, let the various departments stabilize their positions." Jiang Wei is also a resourceful man, and his Xiliang cavalry is elite, so don't worry, the key thing at the moment is to lure the Wei army into the battle, and Jiang Wei is ordered to make sure that he must design to lead the Wei army into the battle to fight! Although Zhuge Liang said this, he was actually taken aback in his heart, but he didn't expect Liu Ye to make a killing move at the beginning, and when he came up, he sent the ace Youhe to rush to fight hard. Now I can only rely on Jiang Wei to adapt to the situation, I hope Jiang Wei can live up to the trust.

"No!" The herald leader ordered the standard-bearer to wave the flag and give orders.

After receiving the order, Jiang Wei looked at the surging Wei cavalry, and immediately understood the reason. He quickly gathered his troops, ordered the cavalry to set up their spears, and summoned the Zhenbei general Ma Dai, the Pingxi general Zhao Guang, the Pingnan general Zhao Tong, and the Pingdong general Fu Jian to convey Zhuge Liang's orders and prepare to deal with the Wei army's onslaught. As soon as the Wei army saw the formation, they also paused, adjusted the formation, and prepared to charge again.

Among the generals, Zhao Guang, Zhao Tong, and Fu Jian are all regarded as Jiang Wei's juniors, and only Ma Dai, the general of Zhenbei, has the most seniority. Ma Dai, a native of Xiliang, a famous general of Shu Han, and the younger brother of the late Five Tiger General Ma Chao. In his early years, he followed Ma Chao and Cao Cao and counterattacked Longshang. After surrendering to Liu Bei with Ma Chao, he participated in the siege of Chengdu and the Battle of Hanzhong. Before Ma Chao died, he played Liu Bei, hoping to treat Ma Dai, the only surviving gateway of the Ma clan. Ma Dai has been on the battlefield for a long time, and although he is older, he still fights calmly and bravely, and has won the trust of Zhuge Liang, and was promoted to the general of Zhenbei, Chen Canghou.

Ma Dai approached and gave Jiang Wei advice, "Why don't we fight for a while, pretend to be invincible and withdraw to the formation, and attract the Wei army into the battle?" ”

Jiang Wei lowered his head and pondered for a while and said: "What the old general said is reasonable, but Wei Jun is not an idle person, and simple pretenses are afraid that they will not be able to deceive Wei Jun." I mean, I must fight with the Wei army with all my might, and after completely angering the Wei army, I will lure the Wei army into battle! ”

"Haha good strategy, fight hard, I don't believe that my Xiliang Iron Cavalry can't beat any secluded and sudden riding, I have long wanted to meet this group of rabbit cubs for a while. Today I want the world to know who is the number one rider in the world! Ma Dai said excitedly, although the years have gradually aged his face, but he still can't hide the passion in his body.

"Okay, please ask the old general to lead the team to charge into battle, and we will only wait for the old general to take the lead!" Jiang Wei said respectfully. Although his official position is higher than Ma Dai, Jiang Wei admires the old-timer Ma Dai from the bottom of his heart. Ma Dai's hometown Liangzhou is located in the border of Han and Qiang, the folk customs are fierce, since ancient times, the right fine horse of Longyou is famous all over the world, and the history is called "Liangzhou horse, rampant in the world". Ma Dai followed his brother Ma Chao, with the might of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, once swept the northwest, even Cao Cao, who has always been good at cavalry, was also beaten and abandoned his armor, and the Xiliang Cavalry was famous all over the world. After Cao Wei conquered the northwest, the Xiliang cavalry became the main force against Zhuge Liang on the Cao Wei border, and it was not until Guo Huai surrendered that Shu Han regained control of this elite. Now in this situation, Jiang Wei also understands that the Xiliang cavalry under his command can exert the greatest power under the leadership of Ma Dai.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey. The whole army listened to the order, and the cavalry lined up, ready to charge! Ma Dai immediately took over the command and organized the Xiliang cavalry to prepare in formation.

Ace vs. ace, Xiliang cavalry and Youhe assault cavalry, an elite cavalry duel in the Three Kingdoms era was staged.

"Rush! Let the Wei army see how powerful my Xiliang cavalry is! Ma Dai gave an order, and the Xiliang cavalry began to charge neatly.

Tian Yu and Zhu Ling on the opposite side were a little dumbfounded, obviously they were preparing to assault the Shu army, but now the Shu army actually launched a counter-charge, this is a naked provocation! In an instant, the anger of the ghost and the sudden rider was ignited, I have always been rushing at people, who dares to rush at me? Tian Yu and Zhu Linggang drew their swords to signal an attack, and the Youhe Sudden Cavalry roared and rushed towards the Shu army.

Hard-hitting. 40,000 against 20,000.

To say that elite, the Youhe Raid is Cao Wei's trump card second only to the Tiger and Leopard Rider, after the Tiger and Leopard Rider was merged into the Wuwei Army to protect the emperor, the number decreased and rarely played, so 40,000 Ghost and Raid is Cao Rui's actual hole card. Youzhou Cavalry is actually the combined name of Youzhou Cavalry and Bingzhou Flying Cavalry, and the Bingzhou Flying Cavalry is the old department of the first brave general of the Three Kingdoms, Lu Bu, after Cao Cao defeated and executed Lu Bu, he incorporated the elite cavalry under Lu Bu. The Youzhou Raid is famous all over the world since the Han Dynasty, the world was in turmoil at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, and Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu relied on the Youzhou Ten Counties Raid in the north to sweep the world and restore the Han Dynasty. At the end of the Three Kingdoms, these two troops absorbed a lot of Hu cavalry experience because they fought with the Hu people on the northern border for a long time, and recruited a large number of Hu cavalry. The Youhe Assault Cavalry values mobility, so it is a light armored cavalry, and its weapons are mainly ring-headed knives and bows and crossbows, and they rely on mobility to constantly impact back and forth, slash and kill the cavalry to shoot the enemy. On the contrary, because of the bloodline of the remnants of the Roman army, the Xiliang cavalry is surrounded by stainless steel chain mail, a typical European heavy cavalry, in addition to the ring head knife and cavalry crossbow, the weapons used are also equipped with two special weapons, one is the horse lance, the total length is one zhang eight, the lance is made of wood, the tip of the lance is equipped with an armor-piercing cone, the lance will bend after stabbing the enemy, and the enemy can be bounced with the impact of the high-speed cavalry, which is specially used for cavalry charge; The other is the javelin, the Western Liang cavalry is equipped with three or four throwing javelins, which are used to project the enemy, although the range of the javelin is not as good as the bow and arrow, but the power is amazing, and it can often penetrate two or three people. This is a cavalry duel with completely different styles, and it can also be regarded as a duel of elite cavalry tactics between China and the West. The coaches of both sides invested their absolute trump cards at the beginning of the battle, and there was a bet on the enemy, and the first battle was a decisive battle!

After the battle began, the heavily armed Xiliang Iron Cavalry seized the opportunity, because they were equipped with chain mail, they could continue to charge after being shot by the bow and crossbow of the Youhe Raid Cavalry, and when they approached, they threw the javelins collectively, and the dense javelins instantly defeated the first wave of Wei troops! A javelin can pierce two or three people, and the middle of the javelin is killed instantly, and the scene is extremely bloody. The Youhe Raider had never seen such a method of warfare, and was frightened for a while, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry seized the opportunity, quickly switched to the cavalry crossbow, and intensively strafed the Wei army. Because it was a light cavalry, the protection was not strong, and the second wave was quickly overturned by the shooters. When it came to the battle, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry took out the horse lance that had been prepared to attack the Wei army, and the Wei army had a short sword and knife, and was often rushed away by the horse lance of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry just after contact. After charging down in three waves, the Youji Raiders lost thousands, which was a great shame for the Youji Raiders who had always been rampant in the north!

Tian Yu and Zhu Ling are not famous generals, and they calmly analyzed the situation in the unfavorable situation in the first round. In view of the heavy equipment advantage of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, they decisively gave up the charging style, and in view of the poor mobility of the Xiliang Cavalry, they switched to harassing the Xiliang Iron Cavalry by constantly wandering around the periphery and riding and shooting. This move quickly achieved results, and because of the superiority in numbers and better mobility, the Youhe Raid continued to form an encirclement on the periphery and slowly consumed the Xiliang Iron Cavalry with bows and arrows. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry rushed forward to fight, and the Wei army quickly retreated, and when the Xiliang Iron Cavalry turned back, the Wei army caught up and shot arrows, and so it was consumed back and forth, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was quickly tossed and almost collapsed. Through this seemingly scoundrel but effective guerrilla attack from the nomads, the Wei army began to slowly grasp the initiative on the battlefield.

Jiang Wei on the battlefield quickly realized the danger of the situation, the Wei army was shrinking the encirclement, after all, the Wei army was numerous, and if it continued to be consumed like this, let alone lure the Wei army into the battle, the entire Xiliang Iron Cavalry would probably be wiped out in the encirclement.

Must break through! Jiang Wei shouted to the generals and commanded everyone to break through in the direction of the middle of the formation, wanting to rush out before the encirclement was formed. This scene happened to be seen by Tian Yu and Zhu Ling, the thief captured the king first, as long as the commander Jiang Wei was taken, the Xiliang cavalry would inevitably be in chaos! Zhu Ling and Tian Yu exchanged glances, leaving Tian Yu to continue to command the Wei army, and Zhu Ling led hundreds of elites to quickly enter the battlefield and attack Jiang Wei!

Jiang Wei was organizing a breakthrough with all his might, completely oblivious to the danger that was quietly coming behind him.

"General be careful...... Yes! A scream came from behind Jiang Wei, and it turned out that Zhu Ling saw that Jiang Wei was unprepared, so he took his bow and arrow, and shot an arrow with a full string. Du Yi, the partial general beside Jiang Wei, happened to see it, and he didn't have time to push Jiang Wei away, so he rushed over and blocked the fatal arrow with his body. Zhu Ling used so much strength that although Du Yi was wearing chain mail, he was also pierced through the heart by an arrow, and fell off his horse and died on the spot.

"General Du!!" Jiang Wei looked back when he heard the sound, and saw Zhu Lingzheng not far away pulling a bow against him, and then looked at Du Yi, who had died under the horse, and immediately understood that it was Du Yi who saved himself by blocking the arrow just now. Tears of grief instantly wet Jiang Wei's eyes, and he really wanted to rush over and fight Zhu Ling to the death and avenge Du Yi. But reason prevailed over emotion, and he understood that the top priority was to bring the Xiliang Iron Cavalry out of the encirclement safely, and then try to lure the Wei army into battle. Jiang Weiqiang held back his tears and glanced at Zhu Ling hatefully, "I will kill him one day!" "Let's continue to lead the army to storm the encirclement.

Under the desperate efforts of everyone, the Shu army finally broke through a bloody road, and the group rushed into the battle to avoid it with a little embarrassment. Seeing that the plan to destroy the Shu army's rangers was about to succeed, Zhu Ling was of course reluctant to let the Shu army slip away from his eyes like this.

"Give me chase!" Zhu Ling's eyes were red, and he roared loudly to direct the pursuit.

"General Zhu is slow!" Tian Yu in the back hurriedly caught up and grabbed Zhu Ling, "Your Majesty didn't let us pursue the Shu army, now that the Shu army has entered the battle array, Zhuge Liang's gossip array is unpredictable, it's better not to enter lightly!" Tian Yu said cautiously.

"What General Tian said is not right! At this time and then, Zhuge Liang's battle formation was complete before, and there were rangers guarding the rear. We have now defeated its rangers, the morale of the three armies of the Shu army will inevitably be frustrated, and the Shu army has just fled into the formation, I observe that its battle formation has been disrupted, at this time, take advantage of the chaos to break into the formation, with the powerful impact of my ghost and sudden cavalry, the infantry in the formation are all grass mustard, and they will definitely break Zhuge Liang's battle formation from the inside! Zhu Ling said confidently.

"This ......" Tian Yu was still hesitating, after all, the temptation to break Zhuge Liang in one fell swoop was too great.

Seeing that Tian Yu was still hesitating, Zhu Ling, who was worried about missing the opportunity, shouted anxiously: "General Tian, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for meritorious service!" You and I have not had a place to get ahead for a long time, are you willing to be only a pioneer and keep being subservient! Win Zhuge Liang, we are the first hero of Great Wei. Zhuge Liang is the cornerstone of your and my achievements! After speaking, Zhu Ling no longer paid attention to Tian Yu, and directly led the troops into Zhuge Liang's gossip array, Tian Yu still wanted to say something, worried that Zhu Ling would make a mistake, and also rushed into the battle array.

The Great War has just begun.
