Chapter 357: Defeated and retreated to Gangneung
Fang Tianji had just revealed a hint of fish belly white, and the sound of horns sounded outside Xinye City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info. QB 5, Drunken Dew Academy
In the thin morning light, the east gate of Xinye County slowly opened, Wen Ping led the defenders in the city to surge out from the east gate, into the outside of the city to line up, the Chu army camp outside the city was also full of people, a team of Chu army soldiers with full military generals opened the camp under the reprimand of the generals, and entered the east of the city to line up, almost Cao Jun just set up a formation, and a dark cloud floated on the vast horizon ahead.
When that round of red sun erupted from the eastern sky, sprinkling ten thousand golden rays on the field, under the red sun, the iron hooves were churning, the horse's head was crowded, and the whole 30,000 Xiliang iron horses gathered into a rolling iron stream, which was swept from the mountains and wilderness in the north of Xinye County.
The black iron armor seemed to come from the hideous and terrifying realm, as if from a suffocating nightmare, only a very small number of the Chu soldiers in front of the formation came from the north, and the vast majority of them were from Jingzhou, they had never seen the front of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, when this sea of iron armor crushed over with overwhelming momentum, almost all the Chu soldiers began to tremble.
Xiliang Iron Ride, this is the legendary Xiliang Iron Ride!
"Boom ......"
The faint roar came from far and near, and the hooves of Xiliang Tieqi finally swept the entire world, leaving only a suffocating roar between heaven and earth, and there was no other sound to be heard except for the near.
Cao Zhen took a deep breath of cold air, tried his best to keep his composure, and turned back to Zhang Liao and Zhang He: "Are the ballistas ready?" ”
"All set!"
Zhang Liao and Zhang He agreed with a bang.
……
Xiliang Iron Cavalry in front of the formation.
The horse suddenly raised the long knife in his hand and slammed it into the air, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry rolling forward behind him began to slow down in an instant, and quickly spread out to the two wings, and when there were still a thousand steps away from the Chu Army, the 30,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry had been fully deployed, and a rigorous cavalry formation was set.
In the sound of the bright horn, the horse rode out of battle surrounded by Meng Da, Su Ze, and Sima Yi.
Sima Yi frowned suddenly, and said to the horse: "Second general." Something is not quite right. ”
"What's wrong?" Ma asked, "What did Zhongda find?" ”
"Nope." Sima Yi shook his head and said, "I didn't find any flaws in the bottom, but ......"
Ma Dao: "But how? ”
Sima Yi said: "I can't say anything about it, but I just feel that there is something wrong with this atmosphere." ”
"Zhongda didn't sleep last night, right?" Meng Da said disapprovingly. "Don't be suspicious of the influence of the army, the Chu army is equal to our army, and the Chu army is mostly infantry, and our army is all cavalry, with the same strength of cavalry against the infantry. Can you win this battle? The second general didn't have to hesitate any longer and gave the order to attack. ”
"Wait." Sima Yi's expression suddenly moved. Hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "I know." I know what's wrong! ”
Ma stared at him and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Troops!" Sima Yi said, "The strength of the Chu army is only about 30,000, which is basically the same as our army, but they actually dare to line up outside the city to fight our army in the field. Isn't that suspicious? ”
Ma said in a deep voice: "Zhongda means ......"
"There must be something strange in it." Sima Yi said, "I don't think you can attack rashly. ”
"Whew." Meng Da said disapprerovingly, "What can be wrong?" Digging a horse pit? Cloth trips? ”
Sima Yi shook his head and said; "If it's a trap and a trip. It's just a disease of scabies, which is not enough to affect the overall situation, and there must be another mystery in this. Drunken Dew Academy"
After saying this, Sima Yi said: "Second General, why don't you send two thousand cavalry to test the reaction of the Chu army first?" ”
Ma pondered for a moment and responded, "Okay, Meng Da listens to the order." ”
Meng Da hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The last will be." ”
Ma Dao: "Rate two thousand iron horses...... Sortie! ”
"The last general commands!" Meng Da clasped his fists on the horse's back, rode his horse to the front of the formation, pulled the spear in his hand forward, and shouted, "The front army is an iron horse...... Sortie! ”
……
In the formation of the Chu army.
"Huh?" Zhang Liao suddenly let out a sigh of surprise and said to Zhuge Liang, "Military division, it seems that Ma only sent two or three thousand cavalry to attack. ”
Zhuge Liang said indifferently: "Horses are cautious with soldiers, which is also expected. ”
Wei Yan asked, "Then what now?" There are so many people who have been kidnapped in the battle, and it is easy to show their feet after a long time. ”
Zhuge Liang said: "Without the military order of the division, the rear army should not act rashly. ”
Zhang Liao asked, "How can these two or three thousand Xiliang Iron Riders deal with it?" ”
Zhuge Liang said: "Where is Jin Xuan? ”
Jin Xuan hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his fists and responded: "The end will be." ”
Zhuge Liang said: "Lead three thousand barbarians to step forward to intercept the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. ”
"Command."
Jin Xuan agreed, and ordered three thousand Wuxi barbarians to rush forward.
In less than a moment, the distance between the two armies was only dozens of steps, Meng Da gave an order, the front row of cavalry threw out the throwing spears one after another, Jin Xuan whistled, and the barbarians who were hurrying forward raised their heavy shields in their hands to resist, and the Liang army soldiers expected that the scene did not happen, only to see the place where the guns fell, dozens of barbarians screamed and fell in a pool of blood, but the vast majority of the barbarians were unscathed and continued to move forward.
Obviously, the Chu army had already been prepared for the sharp weapons used by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to throw spears, and the shields of these barbarians were large and heavy, and their thickness and strength were enough to resist the stabbing of the throwing guns.
"Damn!"
Meng Da snorted, hurriedly raised his spear and led it to the left, and the two thousand Xiliang Iron Cavalry that swept forward changed the direction of the sprint stiffly, almost cutting the front of the three thousand barbarian soldiers diagonally, and then circled around the front of the formation and rounded the side of the barbarians, but Meng Da soon found that this time he was really in trouble, and as soon as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry cut through the front, the barbarians quickly stopped advancing and formed a circular defensive formation on the spot.
Thousands of solid and solid shields were in the barbarian circle
A thick shield wall was built on top of his head, and the entire barbarian array looked like a turtle, and his head and limbs were retracted into a solid tortoise shell, even if the Xiliang Iron Horse was a lion, he felt helpless at this time, especially the piercing hand. The tortoiseshell was also covered with sharp spikes. That is, a thousand spears on the ground sticking out of the gap in the shield.
The adjutant general rode his horse close to Meng Da and asked sharply, "General, what should I do now?" ”
Meng Datie's face was blue, and he shouted angrily: "Mother, you take two hundred horsemen to attack from the front." Smash this turtle shell for General Ben! ”
"Yes!"
The lieutenant replied violently, swinging forward with a saber in his hand. The cavalry of the brigade, which was running around the barbarian soldiers, suddenly divided two hundred horsemen, followed the lieutenant general, pulled out the horse's head, and rushed straight towards the circular black armor formation formed by the barbarians!
……
Fifty miles north of Xinye County. More than 200,000 Xiliang troops are surging south.
In the main formation of the Chinese army, a huge carriage is slowly moving forward along the official road. The spacious carriage is divided into two rooms by a screen, and the interior is lavishly decorated with all the living utensils, while Ma Yue is leaning on the soft couch and sleeping. Two slender young women with beautiful postures were kneeling in front of the couch with their buttocks crossed and hammering Ma Yue's legs.
The outside floor is like a living room. On the front of the screen hangs a military topographic map of Jingbei. Jia Xu, Li Su and Lu Su were sitting in front of the desk and talking softly about something, when the three of them were talking. The curtain of the carriage was gently lifted. The figure flashed, and Kuai Yue had already bent down and got into the carriage. Asked the three people: "Has the lord woken up?" ”
Li Su shook his head and said, "No." ”
"Is it Xenomorph?" Li Su's voice fell, and Ma Yue's voice suddenly sounded in the screen, "Are Fang Yue and Xu Huang already successful?" ”
Jia Xu and the others hurriedly got up.
The bead curtain was lifted, and Ma Yue paced out of the room wearing a brocade robe, and solemnly motioned to everyone: "Come, come, come." You don't have to be so restrained. All sat down to talk. ”
When Ma Yue sat down first, Jia Xu and the others dared to sit down.
Kuai Yue then arched his hand and said, "Lord, just return quickly." The two partial divisions of General Xu Huang and General Fang Yue have already attacked Zaoyang and Dengcheng respectively, and are now rushing to the rear of Xinye on light horseback! If nothing else. The two deviant divisions should have arrived in Xinye this afternoon. Cao Zhen's army, which is confronting the second general in Xinye, will fall into the heavy encirclement of our army. ”
Ma Yue said: "So Cao Zhen'er has already been tricked? ”
Lu Su said: "It seems that the military division is still a step ahead, Cao Zhen and Zhuge Liang didn't expect that the 30,000 vanguard iron cavalry led by the second general was just a bait, and they really mobilized the main force of the Chu army to come to Xinye to fight with the second general, Cao Zhen'er's intention was nothing more than to defeat the second general first to dampen the spirit of our army." This is a good idea, but the result may not be as good as it could be. ”
Jia Xu said: "But you can't be careless, you need to know that Xinye to Xiangyang is connected by Yushui, and the Jingzhou Navy can go north at any time to respond." ”
"Lone doesn't expect a battle to settle Jingzhou." Ma Yue said indifferently, "It is best to be able to solve Cao Zhen and Zhuge Liang in Xinye. If it can't be solved, it doesn't matter, this time the lone army of 300,000 swept through Jingbei, but I want to see how Zhuge Villager resists? ”
……
Shinno.
Meng Da returned to his main camp in disgrace and said to the horse: "The last general is incompetent, please punish the general." ”
In the face of the Chu army's brute tortoise shell formation, Meng Da seemed helpless, and successively sent three teams of cavalry to try to break through the barbarian defense formation from the front, but they all returned, and finally was unexpectedly counterattacked by the barbarians, losing a total of six or seven hundred horsemen before and after, and in desperation, Meng Da had to collect his troops and run back to his own formation.
"General Meng Da doesn't have to blame himself." Ma Haoyan said with relief, "The tortoiseshell position of the Chu army is indeed difficult to deal with. ”
"I see, hahaha, it's just that!" On the side, Sima Yi suddenly laughed and said to the horse, "Second general, now you can attack in a big way." ”
Ma was stunned and said, "Why is this? ”
Sima Yi replied: "I don't know the reality of the Chu army, so I can't attack easily, although General Meng Da's attack was in vain, but I also found out the reality of the Chu army, the Chu army relies on nothing but the tortoiseshell defense array, although this tortoiseshell array is difficult to deal with, but it is vulnerable in front of our army's heavy armor and iron cavalry!" Now that the enemy army knows everything about the real and the virtual, it is natural that they can attack in a big way! ”
"Understood." Ma said in a deep voice, "Ma Xiu listens to orders." ”
Matthew hurriedly stepped forward and said sharply: "The last will be." ”
Ma Dao: "Lead two thousand heavy armored iron horsemen to chisel through the enemy formation from the middle road!" ”
"Yes!"
Matthew pulled down the grimace mask from his helmet and rode away.
Ma said again: "Meng Da and Su obey the order. ”
Meng Da and Su hurriedly stepped forward and responded with their fists clenched: "The end will be." ”
The horse shouted: "Each with eight thousand iron horsemen to detour the two wings!" ”
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
Meng Da and Su agreed with a bang.
Meng finally shouted: "The rest of the generals will lead their headquarters to ride and assault from the middle!" ”
……
The Chu army is in this formation.
Jin Xuan panted and returned to the Chinese army, and said to Cao Zhen: "Lord, the last general is fortunate not to be dishonored!" ”
"Good." Cao Zhen nodded happily and said, "The general has worked hard. You can go back to the back and rest for a while. ”
"Yes."
Jin Xuan agreed. Take the command and go.
"Lord!" At this moment, Zhang Liao suddenly shouted, "The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is about to attack in a big way, and the Heavy Armored Iron Cavalry is also attacking!" ”
Cao Zhen's heart froze, and he looked back anxiously. Sure enough, I saw that the black-pressed Xiliang Riding Array was already boiling like boiling water, and the group was from head to toe. Even the heavy armored iron cavalry wrapped in iron armor has surged out of the Chinese army, and this group of iron cavalry is obviously taller and stronger than other Xiliang cavalry, and even the running of war horses is extraordinarily magnificent.
"Great!" Wei Yan couldn't help but scream. "Liang Jun has been tricked, hahaha!"
"Kong Ming." Cao Zhen looked back at Zhuge Liang. He said in a deep voice, "Xiliang Tie!" ”
"Hmm." Zhuge Liang bowed his head slightly, and there was no trace of smugness on his young and elegant face. Said indifferently. "The generals can act according to the plan, and they must not disturb the order."
Generals Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Wei Yan, Wen Ping, and Li Yan responded with a bang: "The last general is ordered." ”
Zhuge Liang gave an order, and the Chu army quickly began to move.
The Chinese army personally escorted Cao Zhen and Zhuge Liang and quickly retreated to the Yushui River, and the 5,000 Jingzhou naval army led by Cai Mao had already met by the river, and the 4,000 barbarian soldiers formed two circular tortoiseshell defense formations. Placed side by side on the front, Wei Yan and Zhang Liao each led 2,000 "infantry" to protect the two wings, while Li Yan led 8,000 "archers" to charge in the center. Only Zhang He led 5,000 light horsemen to hide in the rear, ready to attack.
……
The rear of the Liang army.
Sima Yi sneered: "As expected, Cao Zhenxiao wants to use the tortoiseshell array to withstand the impact of our army, consume the sharp energy of our army, and then use the archers' accumulation to kill and injure our army in large quantities, and then mobilize the only light cavalry to counterattack when our army is forced to retreat with heavy casualties, hum, if there is no heavy armor and iron cavalry, the Chu army may still have a six-point chance of winning, but now the Chu army is lost!" ”
"Hmm." Ma nodded and said, "It seems that Jingzhou will be pacified soon." ”
"Look, General." Ma's voice fell, and suddenly the general shouted excitedly, "The heavy armored iron cavalry has already cut through the tortoiseshell defense array of the Chu army!" ”
"The Chu army's position is starting to be chaotic!"
"The Chu army has been torn in half from the middle lane!"
"Generals Meng Da and Su Ze have already detoured back to the side of the Chu army!"
"The Chu army couldn't resist and began to rout!"
"The Chu army has collapsed and is fleeing in all directions!"
"Our army won, hahaha, our army won......"
Seeing that the Liang army was like a broken bamboo, and the Chu army was overwhelmed, the soldiers around Ma cheered one after another, but Sima Yi's eyebrows gradually wrinkled, the rout of the Chu army had long been expected by Sima Yi, but the rout was so rapid but quite unexpected by Sima Yi! Faintly, Sima Yi felt a little uneasy, could it be that there was fraud in it?
……
In the distance, the Jingzhou Navy is on a large ship.
Cai Mao said to Cao Zhen: "Lord, the Liang army is about to chase into the open space between the two dense forests, and as long as General Yu Ban and Mr. Liu launch a ballista to block the head and tail, plus these two dense forests are full of thorns and lush vegetation, and the cavalry can't pass through at all, the 30,000 Xiliang iron horsemen will become the turtle in the urn, and they will only be slaughtered!" ”
"Hmm." Cao Zhen said excitedly, "Now even if Ma and Sima Yi find out that it is abnormal, they can't stop it if they want to collect their troops!" ”
Cai Mao said: "Whether you can completely annihilate these 30,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry, we will soon see!" ”
"Report ......" Cai Mao's voice fell, and suddenly a tooth general hurried onto the deck, knelt down in front of Cao Zhen, and said in a panic, "Lord, it's not good, it's not good!" ”
Cao Zhenxin jumped, and said in a lost voice: "What's the matter?" ”
The tooth general gasped and said: "The horse has returned, the two Xiliang cavalry are detouring from Dengcheng and Zaoyang to the Xinye side, and they are less than thirty miles away from here!" ”
"What!?" Cao Zhen was taken aback when he heard this, and asked sharply, "How many horses are there in these two Xiliang cavalry?" ”
The tooth general said: "There are at least 40,000 cavalry on both sides!" ”
"Huh!?"
Cao Zhen's face turned pale in an instant, and he looked back at Zhuge Liang and was speechless for a long time.
"Ugh." Zhuge Liang sighed and said in a lamented voice, "As the so-called people are harmful to the tiger's heart, and the tiger is also hurtful, we calculated that we wanted to destroy the 30,000 vanguard cavalry in the horse land, but the horse butcher wanted to use these 30,000 cavalry as bait to lure and annihilate the main force of our army in one fell swoop, and the time was just right!" The horse butcher and Jia Poison are so old that they are really worthy of their reputation. ”
Cao Zhentie blushed and asked, "What should I do now?" ”
Zhuge Liang said abruptly: "The two cavalry sent by the horse butcher to cut off my retreat are already close to thirty miles away, and the horses can arrive in half an hour, and at this time to launch an ambush, even if the 30,000 cavalry who can slaughter the horses, the main force of our army may not be able to escape the doom of the annihilation of the whole army!" The horse butcher lost 30,000 cavalry and 100,000 or 300,000, and the lord lost these 30,000 elites, but he was fundamentally injured......"
When Cao Zhen heard this, his face couldn't help but twitch, once such an opportunity is missed, I am afraid that there will never be another one in the future.
Zhuge Liang slowly turned his head and said to the soldiers behind him: "Order the whole army, cancel the ambush and burn the ballista on the spot, and then the whole army will withdraw to Jiangling." ”
……
The rear of the Liang army.
"It's broken!" Sima Yi shouted, "Dense forest! There must be an ambush of the Chu army in the two dense forests in front! ”
"There is an ambush in the woods?" Ma frowned and said, "Why is Zhongda so sure?" ”
Sima Yi said: "The Chu army was defeated too quickly, so it can be seen that the 30,000 Chu army on the front is definitely not the real Chu army, if you are not mistaken, a large part of them are the people in Xinye City!" And the real main force of the Chu army must be ambushed in the two dense forests in front, and when our cavalry pursues and kills the Chu army and passes through the open space between the two dense forests, the Chu army will definitely do its best to ambush and kill our army by surprise! ”
Ma You looked over, and sure enough, he saw that most of the defeated Chu troops were rushing towards the southern wolves, and 30,000 Xiliang iron cavalry were chasing after him, and he was about to chase into the open space between the two dense forests.
"Quick!" Ma was taken aback, and hurriedly turned back to the soldiers behind him and shouted, "Order, the whole army stops pursuing!" ”
"Alas, it's too late." Sima Yi sighed and said gloomily, "The soldiers are only concerned about chasing and killing the enemy, the formation is already completely chaotic, and the military order can no longer be conveyed smoothly. ”
"It's over, it's all over......" Seeing that tens of thousands of iron horsemen were like hungry wolves chasing sheep, rushing into the glades all over the mountains, the horses looked up to the sky and were dazed, wanting to cry without tears, "The defeat of the army is small, and the bruising of the three armies is a big matter, how should I explain when I look back and see my brother?"
