Chapter 983: The Western Regions

Almost at the same time, the left and right flanks, Zhang Xiu and Yan Liang, also led more than 5,000 cavalry to rush to the enemy's camel cavalry.

Countless Wei knights were shot down and pierced by large guns, but none of them were able to break through the "wall" of enemy camels.

Nearly 20,000 Wei soldiers were blocked in the enemy's circular camel formation, crowded and chaotic, and there was no means to break through at all except for being killed by the Han army.

For a time, outside the Yumen Pass, a "peculiar" battle was launched, and the 20,000 cavalry could not defeat the 5,000 camel soldiers, but were killed and wounded miserably.

A hundred steps away, Su Zhe had also arrived on horseback, and when he saw the surprising scene in front of him, Yingwu's face couldn't help but turn strange.

"What's that, camel?" Su Zhe asked.

Ma Yunlu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, that is the camel cavalry of the Western Regions." ”

"Hunchcavalry?"

"Yes." Ma Yunlu nodded, "The countries of the Western Regions have many Gobi Deserts, but there are many oases dotted in the middle, and all countries are built in those oases, camels are thirsty, and they are more suitable for walking in the Gobi than horses, so all countries in the Western Regions have raised a large number of camels, and their cavalry is mainly camels, which are called camel cavalry." ”

Su Zhe listened to Ma Yunlu's explanation, and then looked at the banner with the word "ginger" flying dazzlingly in the blood mist, and finally understood.

The enemy general who led the army was most likely Jiang Wei.

As for the 5,000 camel cavalry, it should be Liu Bei's army in the Western Regions Changshi Mansion, but he didn't expect that he would rush to this Yumen Pass to rescue him at such a critical moment.

Looking at the battle in front of us, the 20,000 Great Wei cavalry, with countless casualties, were unable to take the enemy's camel cavalry.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Zhe raised his horsewhip and shouted: "Pass the order, Mingjin and withdraw the troops." ”

"Your Majesty, the enemy army only has 5,000 camel soldiers, so let's withdraw our troops?" Ma Yunlu was unwilling.

Su Zhe said: "This camel soldier stands up as a cavalry, kneeling down is a barrier, we met in a hurry, there is no way to restrain it, such a blind fight, it is just a waste of the precious lives of our own soldiers, withdraw the troops." ”

Ma Yunlu came to his senses and had to pass down the order.

Bell bell bell ~~

On the green field, the sound of gold sounded, and the order to withdraw the troops was issued.

A hundred steps ahead, the cavalry of the Wei army, who were fighting hard, although they were unwilling, but they had no choice but to turn around and retreat.

In the blink of an eye, the Wei army withdrew completely, and after paying thousands of dead and wounded, finally gave up the attack.

Jiang Wei looked at the retreating Wei army from afar, his young face burned with a cold arrogance, and he snorted coldly: "Everyone get on the camel and immediately withdraw to Yumen Pass." ”

When the order was given, the five thousand knights quickly climbed into their camels, turned around and fled in the direction of Yumen Pass.

Although the camel was larger than the horse, it was not inferior to the speed of the war horse, and in the blink of an eye, it accelerated and galloped, distancing itself from the Wei army.

At this time, if the Wei army wanted to pursue again, it was too late and could not catch up again.

Su Zhe looked at the camel cavalry in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's a pity that a talent like Jiang Wei fell into the hands of Liu Bei." ”

Just as he sighed, Ma Chao and other generals had all returned.

"Your Majesty, the enemy army is not a formation, it is indestructible, and we can't break through it at all." Ma Chao shouted angrily.

Su Zhe said lightly: "The enemy army has camels as obstacles, which is equivalent to a chariot soldier, on this wilderness, how can the cavalry be the opponent of the chariot soldiers." ”

Ma Chao suddenly realized and sighed: "I see, the enemy's camel soldiers can be used as cavalry and chariot soldiers, which is really amazing." ”

"Your Majesty, what should we do then?" Ma Yunlu asked.

Su Zhe sneered: "You don't need to be too jealous, although the chariot soldiers are cavalry, they are restrained by the infantry, so they will camp for the time being, and when the follow-up infantry arrives, I want to see how Jiang Wei still shows off his might." ”

When Yu, Su Zhe ordered the whole army to go down to the village five miles east of Yumen Pass, but sent Hu Che'er to Longle City as soon as possible, and asked Xu Huang to lead the follow-up infantry corps to come to Yumen Pass as soon as possible to rendezvous.

……

When the jade gate was closed, Liu Bei, who fled to the city first, stood at the head of the city and witnessed the fierce confrontation between the horse cavalry and the camel cavalry in fear.

When he saw that Jiang Wei's camel cavalry had forced the Wei army's iron cavalry to retreat, his once desperate face was lit up with endless surprises.

The expression of surprise was like a person who had fallen into the dark abyss, but found a light that was different from the sky.

"This Jiang Wei is so amazing, such a strange person, why didn't the prime minister recommend it to me earlier?" Liu Bei was happy and a little complaining.

Zhuge Liang said lightly: "Although Jiang Wei has an immortal talent, he may not be the opponent of the Su thief, he can win this battle, or rely on the credit of this camel cavalry, and he was caught off guard by killing the Su thief." ”

"Do all the countries in the Western Regions use camel cavalry?" Liu Bei asked again.

Zhuge Liang's eyes looked at Yang Fu, this question, his knowledge was far less than that of Yang Fu, a native of Xiliang.

Yang Fu hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, the countries of the Western Regions produce camels, and their camels are not only used for business, but also for warfare, and the number of horses and camels in them should be equally divided." ”

Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said excitedly: "I didn't expect that this camel cavalry would have such power, if I can conquer the entire Western Regions, pull out a team of 100,000 camel soldiers, and kill back to the Central Plains when the time comes, I will see how the Su thief can resist!" ”

Liu Bei rekindled hope, and his originally depressed face reappeared with the domineering spirit of the emperor.

Zhuge Liang looked at Liu Bei, who had rekindled his confidence, and couldn't help but praise: "This is the indomitable man in front of the minister!" ”

Left and right, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and other generals couldn't help but swell their confidence, and their gloomy and desperate emotions were also swept away.

The more than 3,000 defeated soldiers of the Han army were all overjoyed and shouted excitedly.

Not long after, Jiang Wei led 5,000 camel cavalry and retreated to Yumen Pass intact.

"Minister Jiang Wei, meet Your Majesty." Jiang Wei climbed to the top of the city and bowed down in front of Liu Bei.

Liu Bei liked Jiang Wei very much when he looked at him, and quickly helped the young hero who rescued him up, and said with a smile: "Boyo, Boyo, you are really the ancestors of the Han Dynasty, the blessed generals who gave me, hahaha——"

Zhuge Liang also shook his feather fan and asked with a smile: "Boyo, didn't you go through the Western Regions with Fei Yi and them, how could you lead so many soldiers and horses to rush back to Yumen Pass in time?" ”

Jiang Wei said: "Back to the prime minister, Lord Fei took us to fight in the Western Regions, and the minister originally followed Lord Fei to continue to attack westward, but after Lord Fei received the news of the loss of Jincheng, he speculated that His Majesty might withdraw to the Western Regions, so he sent the minister to lead 5,000 camel soldiers, and returned to Shiyumen Pass to meet His Majesty in the starry night. ”

Liu Bei suddenly realized.
