The Wei army mustered all their strength, raised their swords and spears and rushed towards the Shu army like a tide, but was firmly blocked by this pikemen array led by Wang Ping. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Based on their combat experience, they mustered up the courage to disperse the enemy's infantry formation, disrupt the enemy's formation, and then pursue and kill, but they did not expect that it would be difficult to even rush to the enemy's close and want to be separated from the enemy's swords and guns.

The Wei army rushed and killed for a long time, but they failed to shake the Shu army formation.

Even if someone in the Shu army was wounded or killed in battle, the first sergeant of the five-man team would immediately take over the position of the captain and block the enemy in front, and then, by the longbowmen in the rear, temporarily carried out one or two joint tasks of stabbing the enemy with guns, and then, behind them, one person would immediately be added and continue to form a group of five.

The Wei sergeants, who were rushing towards the Shu army's formation like a tide, saw their own family members rushing over one after another in front of them, but they didn't even have a chance to hurt the enemy, so they fell down one after another.

They have never encountered such an enemy, and for a while, they can't react at all, where can they come up with a countermeasure?

As the corpses accumulated, the Wei soldiers were chilled, scrambled to turn around, and hurriedly retreated.

The Shu army was waiting for this time, and immediately shouted loudly and chased after him.

The retreating Wei army was blocked by their own family, and they wanted to turn back to fight but couldn't resist at all, and they were in chaos for a while and were put down in batches.

Ge Liang, who was standing on a high place, saw that the enemy was beaten back, and hurriedly beat the war drums himself.

As the drums sounded, the Shu army shouted while rushing to kill: "Run!" If you don't run again, Chang'an will be occupied by the enemy! I can't even go back home! ”

The cavalry of the Shu army, who had been sweeping on both sides of the infantry phalanx to prevent the enemy from attacking the pikemen phalanx from the flanks, under the leadership of Ma Chao and Chen Yin, immediately clamped the horse's belly and shouted loudly to kill the enemy.

Only shouts were heard from the position:

"The Wei army is defeated! The Wei army is defeated! ”

"Brothers, run! Chang'an is about to be broken by the enemy! Hurry up and run home to save the old mother and child! ”

"Jicheng has been captured by the Shu army! Everyone, escape back to Guanzhong! ”

"The enemy has ambushes! There are more than 10,000 people at all! Their reinforcements have arrived! There are 100,000 enemies, so run for your life! ”

……

There are people who shout anything, one moment it is the tone of the Shu army, and the other time it is the tone of the Wei army, as for who shouted it, no one can figure it out now.

The defeated Wei army heard yesterday that their own house was hit by the enemy's voice and moved the tiger away from the mountain, and today I heard someone shouting that the enemy still has an ambush, reinforcements, and 100,000 followers, where do they still have the heart to turn back, just go back to the road and flee for their lives, and when they encounter those who stand in the way, they have to hate it with a shot or a knife, so that they can quickly get out of the way.

The Wei army behind was scattered by his own family, and seeing that the front army was defeated like a tide, he quickly turned around and ran.

Cao Xiu was angry when he saw the defeat of his own sergeants in the Chinese army, and quickly ordered the generals around him to shout: "Stop!" Stop! Those who retreat in vain will be beheaded! ”

However, even though they did kill a few sergeants, it was too late to stabilize the formation.

Ma Chao, Ma Dai, Chen Yin and Hou Xuan, as well as the original Guanlong cavalry under their command, have long been looking forward to killing Yongliang and being ashamed.

The defeated Cao army scattered and fled.

The generals saw that Ma Chao was violent, and he was about to rush over, so he had to quickly persuade Cao Xiu: "General, this defeat is decided, hurry up and lead everyone back to Lucheng, and the whole army will fight again!" ”

Cao Xiu stood on a high place, saw the entire battlefield situation clearly, and saw that his own army had no fighting spirit, in order to avoid greater losses and keep the capital of fighting again, he had to quickly order the army to withdraw to Lucheng to hold on, and first understand the reason why he was defeated in a battle today.

He waved the command flag and ordered the tigers and leopards to roam and shoot to cover the retreat of the army.

The 20,000 Shu army did not give up, and kept chasing after them.

The Wei army threw away its armor and retreated to Lucheng in embarrassment, as well as the camp outside Lucheng, and held on behind closed doors, so Cao Xiu was a little relieved.

The pursuing Shu army did not attack their camp and Lucheng, but most of them, under the leadership of Ma Chao, bypassed the enemy's camp and Lucheng and ran north.

Cao Xiu was dumbfounded, what are they going to do? Do you want to go around to the back and surround us?

It's impossible, they have fewer men than us, and even if they are lucky enough to win a battle, they won't just want to surround us and swallow us in one bite, right?

Could it be that they now want to bypass our army and directly attack Shangqi or Jicheng?

So why not attack before we come?

Zhang Ji, who stayed in Lucheng, was telling him another bad news: "The leading general, General Zuo Zhang He, has sent someone to deliver the letter today. ”

This reminded Cao Xiu, didn't Zhang He say that the enemy troops on Chencang Road had retreated, so he could lead most of his soldiers and horses to rush over for reinforcements.

"He, when is he coming?" The first battle was lost, the army's morale was in turmoil, Cao Xiu couldn't take care of it, and really hoped that Zhang He would come over to help earlier.

"He, he can't get over for the time being." Zhang Ji felt that telling Cao Xiu the bad news at this time was to sprinkle salt on other people's wounds, and it was really difficult to say it for a while.

"He, why can't he get by?" Cao Xiu hurriedly asked.

Alas, the more bad news, the sooner you have to tell it, Zhang Ji's face was heavy, and he said in a low voice: "General, it is said that there is an unknown number of Shu troops who have captured the Meridian Valley Pass and Luoyukou and are threatening the safety of Wugong and Yixian County, in addition, I don't know how many people and horses have gone to Chang'an City to kill." ”

"Huh?" If Cao Xiu still thinks that the defeat in the first battle is a common thing for soldiers, then this enemy has already entered the pass, and threatens Cao Zhen in the Bao Slope Road, and threatens the news of Chang'an City, Cao Xiu is absolutely unacceptable, "This, this is impossible, right?" ”

Zhang Ji took out Zhang He's letter: "I don't know the specifics, the letter should be clear, I just listened to the messenger casually." ”

Cao Xiu hurriedly opened the letter, read it in a hurry, and quickly calmed himself down.

He comforted Zhang Ji: "Don't worry, my lord, General Zuo is right, even if the enemy attacks on a large scale, we still have a large army stationed in Guanzhong, as long as the cities hold on, the enemy will not be able to attack for a long time, and when the imperial court gets the news and sends reinforcements from other places, the enemy can only return in vain." Moreover, on the Guanzhong side, it is likely that it is just the enemy's spies making trouble and spreading rumors. ”

Zhang Ji agreed: "If they take Chang'an so easily, wouldn't they underestimate that there is no one in my Wei State?" I'm just worried that the enemy has taken the initiative to spread such rumors, and now we are also transmitting such news ourselves, so the sergeants know about it, do they still have the heart to fight the enemy here?
