Chapter 287 Serial Schemes Broken
In order to ensure the safe retreat of the army, Cao Xiu also tried his best. Vertex updates are the fastest
Sending a small force to pretend to attack the Shu army at night is only the first step.
Thinking that this time, the enemy was attacking from five directions, and the suspicious army was constant, and he didn't dare to recognize that such a simple trick could work, so he also thought of a chain set.
That is, if you can't disturb it overnight, you will simply give them the impression of luring the enemy to be shortlisted.
He gathered almost all the cavalry, and there were more than 7,000 horses.
He arranged them on the way to retreat, in case the enemy really let go of his courage to chase after him, and the ambush here came out again, and gave his vanguard a siege and annihilation battle, which would definitely make the enemy think that he had pulled out the camp and left, just to lure them into being fooled, and he would not dare to chase them again.
In order to ensure that these sergeants in the rear can fight hard and not worry about retreating, he arranged all the cavalry, just to give them confidence, after the fierce battle, they can rest assured that they can catch up with the large army, and they don't have to worry about falling behind and only fleeing for their lives.

Moreover, these 7,000 cavalry were personally led by him to boost morale and strengthen the desperate spirit of the sergeants.
Seven thousand cavalry lay in ambush in the valley, quietly waiting.
There was an earth-shattering shouting of killing from the rear, getting closer and closer, Cao Xiu scolded secretly, these useless guys, according to the calculation of time, almost as soon as they approached the Shu camp and began to flee back, it was possible to retreat here so quickly.
Listen to the sound, there are quite a few enemies in pursuit!
He was patient, and under the moonlight, he watched hundreds of his own soldiers escape, and the Shu army chasing behind him also passed by thousands, before he suddenly rushed out and cut the enemy into two sections.
"Kill!" He shouted loudly, cheering up his own army and terrifying the enemy in his hasty pursuit.
Wang Ping saw that the enemy army really had ambush soldiers, and he hurriedly said: "Da Sima is like a god, and he has already calculated that there is such a group of enemies ambushing here. Apex update fastest warriors, hold on, Da Sima will soon lead a large army to follow, and when the time comes, it will be us to surround the enemy. Warriors, the time has come, don't be afraid, fight bravely! ”
The Shu army, which was suddenly attacked, was rushed into two, and after a short period of confusion, the troops immediately moved closer to the middle, stood in a group of five people, covered each other, and formed two spear formations.
Cao Xiu's cavalry attacked several times, but the Shu army's formation became more and more tight, and both teams began to lean on each other, striving to regroup into a gun formation.
Many of the Wei cavalry who attacked in the moonlight were assassinated by spears, and all the men and horses fell to the ground.
Cao Xiu fixed his eyes and saw that it was the spear formation that had caused his cavalry to suffer a big loss before, and he hurriedly ordered not to force the attack, just use the bow and arrow to provoke.
Anyway, those guys shared spears, and they lost their flexibility even more.
The Shu army hurriedly crouched down and lowered his head, leaning on the shield of the commander in front of him and the armor on his back to avoid the damage of the enemy's arrows. Vertex updates are the fastest
But their formation is still neat.
Wei Jun let go of the arrows for a while, slowly withdrew his hand, and listened intently, there was no sound in the entire Shu army array.
In the moonlight, the figure of any enemy can also be seen shaking.
Haha, were they all shot?
The crowd couldn't help but cheer.
Some began to mount their horses, wanting to take a closer look at the enemy's situation.
When they got closer and faintly noticed that the enemy soldiers were not lying on the ground, but squatting there, they realized that something seemed to be wrong, and they were just about to turn around, when they heard Wang Ping shouting: "Kill!" ”
All the Shu troops stood up in unison, and immediately took great strides and rushed towards the enemy in unison.
And the longbowmen integrated in the formation, the moment they got up, they all shot out the arrows that had already been attached to the bow.
Instead of shooting arrows at approaching enemy cavalry, they fired at enemy troops who were still far away. Vertex updates are the fastest
Those enemies in the vicinity were all left to the pikemen to deal with.
The enemy cavalry who surrounded the vicinity quickly turned the horse's head and ran, but the Shu army could not catch up, and there were few injured.
Those who were injured were the cavalry who put down their bows and arrows at this time, quietly watched the enemy troops in the field, and waited for Cao Xiu's order.
A black shadow flashed under the moonlight, and sharp arrows fell, and hundreds of horsemen were shot down at once.
The cavalry were startled, quickly retreated, and began to roam and shoot again.
Cao Xiu looked anxious, although this ambush also killed and injured the enemy, but the enemy is not in chaos now, and it is difficult to expand the results of the battle.
He was even a little weak-hearted, and quietly ordered the cavalry blocking behind the enemy to make way of the gap, intending to let the enemy go back.
Unexpectedly, the enemy did not appreciate it, and still maintained an intact formation, motionless under their encirclement.
Do you want me to beg you to go back? Cao Xiu really couldn't swallow this breath, if he was in an ambush, he couldn't beat this group of pursuers away, so how could he let his army retreat safely?
As soon as his heart was crossed, he immediately ordered all the cavalry to fire arrows again and rush towards the enemy together.
At this moment, the sound of people shouting and neighing horses was heard in the distance.
Ge Liang and Meng Da led the army to chase after them.
If Cao Xiu did not retreat, he might be surrounded by the enemy's army.
No wonder these guys refused to withdraw even if they couldn't take advantage, it turned out that the enemy also came out to save them!
Cao Xiu had no choice but to order the cavalry to retreat.
Wang Ping and the others did not relent, immediately let go of their steps, and continued to shout and chase after them.
The cavalry ran fast, and soon overtook Wang Ping and them, and caught up with his own brigade.
However, now that the serial plan has been broken by the enemy, and the enemy is about to catch up, how can we ensure the safe retreat of the army?
Cao Xiu had no choice but to give an order, quickly throw away his baggage and most of the grain and grass, and urgently retreat to Jicheng and Linwei.
Ge Liang caught up with Wang Ping and asked him about the battle just now.
Wang Ping replied: "According to Da Sima's orders, we desperately maintained the battle formation after being attacked, and did not let the enemy succeed. Although we suffered several hundred casualties, the enemy did not scare us away, but scared us away. ”
Ge Liang nodded and said, "I thought we would wait until we came to relieve the siege for you, but I really didn't expect that you yourself would scare away the enemy's ambush soldiers." ”
Wang Ping didn't dare to admit this: "It seems that it was because you came from behind that the enemy ran away." This time, the enemy's ambush soldiers are all cavalry, wandering and shooting, and we can't catch up with them if we want to fight them. ”
"Yes, this is my negligence, I should have thought a long time ago that the enemy would definitely send a lot of cavalry in order to ensure that the ambush could catch up with the army." Ge Liang also felt a pity, "After all, we have few people now, and the cavalry has been taken away by Ma Chao, so I have to wronged you." ”
Then he said: "Okay, since the enemy ambush soldiers have not been able to help you, you must be frightened at this time, so you can just run away." Now, we can rest assured that we can chase boldly! Remember, only chase the enemy who flees in the direction of Jicheng! (To be continued.) )
