Chapter 67: Fighting Hu Qi Again
The person who came in front was none other than Wei Shuo who arrived with his army. Didn't the previous article say that Wei Shuo was rushing to Xiapi? So how did he end up here?
Speaking of scouts, it turned out that after Wei Shuo left Lu County, he was afraid that he would run in front of Pei Dun, so he deliberately sent some scouts in the direction of Pengcheng. Unexpectedly, these scouts really played a key role, and they quickly reported the traces of Pei Dun and his party to Wei Shuo.
Knowing that Pei Dun was far behind him, Wei Shuo couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh: I really didn't expect that Pei Dun not only had a very poor ability to deal with general affairs, but also had a poor ability to escape.
Wei Shuo had no choice but to order the army to return along the same route, but this delayed a lot of time, so that when he arrived, he happened to meet Hu Qi who came to pursue.
As soon as Wei Shuo's right hand was raised, all the soldiers immediately stopped, and did not rush to flatter Shi Pei Dun because they were opposite him. On the contrary, under the command of Wei Shuo, everyone set up a formation in an orderly manner: still spearmen in front, sword and shield soldiers in the wings, and longbowmen in the back.
Sima Ao and Wang Bao on the opposite side saw the duck in their hands flying, and in a fit of anger, Wang Bao was about to command the army to level the Jin army in front. At the critical moment, Sima Ao calmed down, and he grabbed the impulsive Wang Bao and persuaded: "General, slow down, you see that the Jin army on the opposite side is in strict formation, it is definitely not a rabble, and it cannot be defeated." ”
"Besides, our army has been pursuing for a long time so far, and the people are already tired and tired, and the ancients said: 'The end of the strong crossbow cannot wear the reckless!' If you take the liberty of attacking, I am afraid that you will step into the dust after General Zhao Dan. ”
Wang Bao was shocked when he heard this, and immediately stopped his figure, and said slightly: "Mr. is reasonable!" But what do we do next? If Pei Dun can't be captured and dedicated to the two generals Wang and Zhao, they will inevitably hold you and me accountable for disobeying military orders! ”
"The general is not in a hurry, let the next move to take advantage of his tongue, if he is lucky enough to persuade the generals of the Jin army on the opposite side, it is naturally good. If the other party insists on rescuing Pei Dun, it will not be too late for the general to do it again. And the general can also take the opportunity to let the soldiers adjust one or two, and save the province to start to suffer a loss later. ”
"Well, sir's brilliant plan!" Wang Bao bowed his head when he heard this.
I saw Sima Ao immediately step forward and shouted, "May I ask which general is on the other side?" In Xia Sima Ao, there is a personal grudge with Pei Tingshi that needs to be resolved. If the general can give a little bit of thin noodles today, I will have a good reward in the future. ”
Wei Shuo stood behind the military formation, looking at Sima Ao from a distance, who was five and six, and couldn't help but admire the other party. Sometimes he couldn't help but think that if Pei Dun had half of Sima Ao's ability, he would not have fallen to the point where he is today.
You see Sima Ao, when danger came, he immediately chose to run away, not dragging his feet at all. It's like Pei Dunna, not to mention how good his skills are, his ability to escape is not as good as Sima Ao, and he knows intrigue, jealousy, and jealousy.
"Sima Changshi, don't come to harm?"
After a while, a familiar voice came from the other side, and Sima Ao looked intently, only to realize that it was Wei Shuo, one of his enemies. Seeing that the anger in Wei Shuo's heart was even more irrepressible, if it weren't for Wei Shuo's interference, he Sima Ao might have been famous all over the world at this time, but now he can only make cattle and horses for Hu Ren.
"It's you!"
"That's right, it's Wei, I didn't expect to meet Lord Changshi here, it's really a place in life where we don't meet!"
"Humph! I thought you had already left Xuzhou and returned to Qingzhou, but I didn't expect Master Wei to dare to stay here! It just so happens that both of you are here today, so let's settle the previous account. Sima Ao gritted his teeth.
Since he knew that the leading general on the opposite side was Wei Shuo, Sima Ao no longer wasted his words, and he secretly glanced at Wang Leopard. Wang Bao understood, turned his head and made a few gestures around, and his subordinate Hu Qi was immediately ready to charge.
Wei Shuo here is not a vegetarian, and they have long been prepared to meet the enemy. In fact, Wei Shuo was also very nervous, after all, this was the first time he commanded a large army to fight. Fortunately, after the battle of Liuxian, his subordinates were basically veterans who had participated in the bloody battle, and with the assistance of Cao Hong and Zhang Erlang next to him, he did not make a fool of himself.
The Jin army array slowly pressed up, and the Hu cavalry on the opposite side was ready to move, and the war between the two sides was about to break out!
After all, cavalry is a kind of army used to attack, and as soon as Wang Leopard waved his hand, two thousand elite cavalry immediately rushed up in an arrow formation. The sound of horses' hooves knocked rhythmically on the hearts of every soldier in the Jin army, but no one was afraid, but there was a faint feeling of excitement.
"Kill Hu! Kill Hu! Kill Hu! ”
"Gale! Gale! Gale! ”
After a roar, the spearmen in the Jin army's array immediately erected their hard spears and lined up in a defensive formation. The distance of several miles was only a few breaths for the cavalry charge, and in the blink of an eye, Hu Cai rushed to the front of the Jin army. There was no chance of any tricks at all, and Hu Qi crashed directly into the spear phalanx of the Jin army like a heavy truck.
Suddenly, the scene became extremely bloody, and for a while, severed limbs flew around, and the miserable howl resounded through the heavens and the earth......
The spearmen of the Jin army, who had gone through a large battle, showed a strong will to fight in this battle, and even faintly suppressed the charge of two thousand Hu cavalry. Although his own casualties were a bit large, the Hu cavalry on the opposite side was not easy, and after paying a huge price, he still couldn't break through the Jin army's formation.
"General, this guy Jin Army is very powerful! It is completely different from the Jin people we have met before, and they dare to fight a decisive battle with our army. A partial general said in Wang Bao's ear.
At this time, Wang Bao regretted a little, he didn't expect the Jin army on the other side to be so difficult to bite anyway, which made him think of the dead Zhao Dan, presumably Zhao Dan met this group of Jin soldiers at the beginning, and he couldn't help but panic when he thought of this.
I saw Wang Bao looking at Sima Ao and asking, "Does Mr. Sima have a clever plan?" ”
Sima Ao didn't have a good way, he was good at hiding behind and giving advice, and the two armies were not his forte. So in the face of Wang Bao's question, Sima Ao only promised for a long time before saying: "There is no good way to do it below, but now that our army still has the upper hand, the general only needs to give full play to the advantages of cavalry, and it should not be a problem to defeat the other party." ”
"Mr. Sima, you have done a long history in Xuzhou, do you know who Wei Shuo is opposite? Why haven't I heard about it before? This is what Wang Bao is most puzzled about, when Sima Ao introduced the generals of Xuzhou to them before, he didn't mention Wei Shuo at all.
"This, this, this, this ......" Sima Ao touched the cold sweat on his forehead and said: "This Wei Shuo is originally from Qingzhou, good at military training, he has not been in Xuzhou for a long time, and it is because of him that he left Xuzhou." It's just that I didn't expect the other party to stay in Xuzhou, this is the responsibility of the next! ”
"I see, this person is really a good soldier, you see, his spear array with the sword and shield soldiers on both sides, plus the longbowmen behind the formation, it is on par with my two thousand Hu cavalry." Wang Bao looked at the strict formation of the Jin army on the opposite side, and couldn't help but have a headache.
The Jin army on the opposite side was not only brave and good at fighting, but also well-equipped, and they didn't know what armor they were wearing, so that they had a pair of hands, so that the lethality of the Hu people's cavalry to the Jin army was greatly reduced.
"General, I think we'd better withdraw! Our army has long been exhausted when it comes from afar, and the Jin army on the opposite side is in a tight formation, even if we break through their spear formation in the end, I'm afraid the loss will not be small. Without these men, how would the general gain a foothold under General Wang? A partial general quietly persuaded Wang Bao in his ear.
Wang Bao looked hesitant, he was reluctant to get Pei Dun who was about to arrive, and he was worried about the heavy casualties under his command. But he looked at the battlefield that was still scorched, and finally made up his mind. Wang Bao glanced at Wei Shuo on the opposite side hatefully, and said a little unwillingly: "Mingjin withdraws!" ”
"Woo!" As a trumpet sounded, the charging Hu cavalry retreated like a tide, and those Hu cavalry seemed to have experienced something terrible, and they all looked at the spearmen on the opposite side with trepidation.
Seeing Hu Qi retreating, Wei Shuo also breathed a sigh of relief, just now he was almost overwhelmed, fortunately Hu Ren took the initiative to retreat, otherwise I really don't know what will happen next.
