Chapter 927: The Difference

Tian Yu changed color in shock.

He had always been very careful, the scouts had been sent to Pengcheng, and he even knew the news of his son Tian Fu's death in battle, but he just didn't expect Wei Feng to hide aside.

Zhang Xiong led thousands of cavalry to storm Wei Ba's Chinese army, at this moment, as Wei Ba's brother, Wei Feng, who led Wei Ba with only cavalry around him, did not go to Pengcheng to help, but was in this ambush to fight him? This doesn't make sense.

Regardless of whether Tian Yu could figure out this truth or not, Wei Feng had already killed him regardless of it.

Tian Yu was a little flustered. The news of his son Tian Fu's death had already made him uneasy and angry, and now he only wanted to rush to Pengcheng with all his heart, rescue Zhang He, kill Wei Ba, avenge his son, and relieve his worries for Bixia, who would have expected such an enemy to hide by his side. In his opinion, Wei Ba's all-out defense was not enough, and there was still room for him to ambush him.

However, this kind of thing happened.

Tian Yu's troops had just crossed the water and were not at all ready for battle. If it weren't for their experience, seeing the ripples of the river, and realizing that there was a large group of cavalry approaching quickly, and quickly speeding up in formation, maybe he wouldn't be ready when Wei Feng rushed in front of him.

Still, he was a little caught off guard and fell into passivity at the beginning. Concealing his whereabouts, he came in a hurry for three hundred miles, and before he arrived in Pengcheng, he received the news of his son's death, and he was bent on destroying Pengcheng and taking revenge, and was suddenly ambushed.

The two sides fought bloody battles on the river beach on the south bank of the water.

Arrows collided, swords and spears collided. The horses galloped, and the knights roared.

……

Xiahou Ba rushed to Pengcheng with ten thousand horses, and looked at the battlefield that was still fighting, he frowned.

Zhang Xiong is still attacking, although Wei Ba's battle line has been compressed to the point that only the command platform remains, and it looks like there are hundreds of remnants at most, and they may be attacked and killed by Zhang Xiong at any time, but after all, they are still there.

Zhang Xiong failed to complete the scheduled task and failed to give him a clear way out. For now, it is impossible for him to directly attack Deng Ai's rear formation according to the original Jihua. Before that. He had to rush past Wei Ba's position. Only in this way can he attack Deng Ai's defenseless back.

On the right side of Deng Ai is the wide Surabaya, and on the left side there will naturally be positions such as rejecting horses, carts, and antlers, which is the standard procedure for infantry combat. I believe that Wei Ba's favored generals will not even have this basic common sense. To break through from Deng Ai's left flank. He's going to get in a lot of trouble. You can't solve the battle quickly and with a quick cut.

There was an unexpected situation, and Xiahou Ba hesitated for a moment. It is according to the predetermined Jihua to defeat Wei Ba first. Then impact Deng Ai's rear formation, or adjust the direction and rescue Zhang He first? It was very easy for him to rescue Zhang He, and it was basically a matter of charging. But if Zhang He is rescued first, then Wei Ba will know that he is coming, and he will return to the warship in time, and it will not be so easy for him to kill Wei Ba irregularly. This credit may have to be left to Sima Yi.

Xiahou Ba glanced at the northwest direction, and he saw a faint light. He smiled and made his choice. Now that Tian Yu has come, give him the task of saving Zhang He, and I will kill Wei Ba. Zhang He also said that everything is based on defeating and killing Wei Ba as the first task.

Xiahou Ba gave the order to attack, asking Zhang Xiong to withdraw from the battlefield and let him deal with Wei Ba.

Zhang Xiong was exhausted, he almost used his strength to storm Wei Ba's Chinese army, but he still fell short, failed to deal with Wei Ba before Xiahou Ba arrived, let alone clear the way for Xiahou Ba. Now, it is not only Wei Ba who is blocking in front of Xiahou Ba's horses, but also more than 20,000 corpses flying horizontally, which will seriously hinder the cavalry's charge.

Zhang Xiong wanted to call the police to Xiahou Ba, ask him to stop the attack, give him a little more time, or send foot soldiers to attack instead. Wei Ba only had more than 300 crumbling armor soldiers left around him, and as long as there were more than 1,000 foot soldiers, they could be killed, and the effect was better than that of cavalry. It's a pity that his herald has been killed in battle, and his war drums have been pierced by arrows, so he has no way to inform Xiahou Ba.

All he could do was roar loudly and order the remaining soldiers around him to withdraw from the battlefield and not become victims of his own cavalry. These people were close to him, and they could hear his orders without beating a drum, even though his voice was hoarse.

Zhang Xiong retreated, picked up a big flag, and rushed towards Xiahou Ba, waving the big flag as he ran, reminding Xiahou Ba not to attack in a hurry.

The strong bow that Wei Ba had been preparing for a long time finally came in handy, he pulled his bow and arrows, and shot an arrow, and the feathered arrow roared into the darkness. Zhang Xiong stumbled, fell to the ground, and never moved again, I don't know if he was shot to death, or slipped to the ground, and didn't get up again anyway.

Xiahou Ba didn't see Zhang Xiong's alarm, he sent two thousand cavalry.

Two thousand cavalrymen jumped on horseback, raised their whips, galloped forward, and killed Wei Ba along the west bank of Surabaya.

Wei Ba breathed a sigh of relief, the battle of Zuihou finally began, fortunately, the situation did not go exactly according to Zhang He's Jihua, and he won a little opportunity at the cost of the total annihilation of the Chinese army.

He was still on the shore of Surabaya.

Don't look at the fact that there are few people around him, and the remaining position is only thirty steps away, but these thirty steps prove his toughness. Eight thousand foot soldiers blocked the charge of nearly 10,000 iron horsemen, and Zuihou also won the victory. No matter how tragic this victory is, it is a victory after all.

This is not zuihou, he still has to defeat Xiahou Ba again and buy a little time for Deng Ai. He is like a nail lying in the middle of the road, to make Xiahou Ba uncomfortable, to prick Xiahou Ba's foot, to thwart his offensive.

Wei Ba stood up from the command platform that was densely packed with arrows, drew his bow like a full moon, pointed the arrow forward, and shot an arrow.

It was a screeching prop, and the brass pipe made a piercing whistling sound, and even the sound of rolling horses' hooves could not completely obscure its presence.

A knight of the Wei army turned over and fell off his horse, and was trampled into meat sauce by countless horses' hooves, becoming the freshest corpse.

With this sound, the war drums on the warship, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly roared loudly.

"Launch!"

"Launch!"

"Phew!" With a muffled sound, a rain of arrows jumped out of the cabin and pounced on the Wei knights who were running along the riverbank.

The arrows were dense and concentrated, and they were shot at the side of the charging knight, almost without missing arrows, and the Wei army was hit by arrows one after another. There are also a lot of spear-like giant arrows mixed in, and when an arrow is shot, everyone and horses pierce. These giant arrows caused serious interference to the Wei army's charging formation, a war horse was shot and fell to the ground with a bang, and the war horses behind had no time to react and fell down one after another, triggering a terrible chain effect, and the smooth charging formation suddenly became a mess.

Xiahou Ba's face changed suddenly. He understood Wei Ba's intention to persist until now, he just forced him to charge along the riverbank, and because the corpses on the ground could not run at full speed, in this way, these charging cavalry became the living targets of the ballista and thunderbolt on the warship, and the soldiers on the warship could shoot as much as they wanted, but it was difficult for the cavalry to maintain a high-speed charge in this situation.

Zhang He asked Tian Fu and Zhang Xiong to lead 10,000 cavalry to attack Wei Ba's Chinese army first, with the intention of clearing the way for him, but now it seems that Zhang Xiong and Tian Fu's attack not only failed to complete the intended task, but caused another insurmountable trouble, and the overlapping corpses seriously hindered the cavalry's charge. Zhang Xiong did not complete the task in time, or rather, Wei Ba persevered until now, making it difficult for their Jihua to continue.

Could it be that you have come all the way and can only wait?

Xiahouba couldn't laugh or cry.

……

Zhang He endured the pain, stood up, and looked at the night sky in the south.

There the fire is blazing, there the hooves are thundering, and there the people are shouting and neighing.

It was Xiahou Ba who arrived.

This was supposed to be a good thing, and Zhang He should have cheered for the arrival of reinforcements like the soldiers around him—although these soldiers did not know that these reinforcements were not here to save them—but his heart was a little uneasy.

When Xiahou Ba arrived, he didn't hear Zhang Xiong's war drums, nor did he hear Wei Ba's war drums, he didn't know what the outcome of the battle between them was, so he didn't know who was alive and who was dead. But in his opinion, no matter whether Zhang Xiong killed Wei Ba or not, as long as Xiahou Ba arrived with his army, he would definitely be able to defeat Wei Ba. If Wei Ba took the initiative to retreat to the battlefield, then Xiahou Ba should have entered Deng Ai's rear camp.

In either case, it shouldn't be the case, Xiahou Ba seems to have only launched a tentative attack and did not attack again.

What's going on?

Zhang He was silent, like a silent battlefield in the south.

Then, he figured it out, the glint in his eyes slowly dissipated, and he shook and slowly sat down on the ground.

The surrounding soldiers were looking at the south with joy. At this moment, they all admired Zhang He. Zhang He said that reinforcements were coming, and sure enough, reinforcements were coming. They were saved. The Han army has been fighting all day, and it has long been exhausted, and now it is vulnerable, as long as the Wei army that comes to help raises its sword, it can easily win, not to mention that they are still powerful cavalry.

Seeing Zhang He fall, the soldiers around him screamed and pounced and protected him in the middle.

"How? How is it? Zhang He asked intermittently.

The guards didn't know why, thinking that he was asking about the situation on the battlefield in the south, so they hurriedly jumped into a baggage cart and looked into the distance at the risk of being shot.

"General, it's our men, there are a lot of people, all cavalry. So many cavalry, it must be our people. Hey, how did they go northwest? ”

"What?" Zhang He didn't hear clearly, and asked weakly: "Northwest ...... What's wrong with it? ”

The guards looked in the northwest direction, and were suddenly surprised and delighted: "General, there are also cavalry in the northwest direction, and there are also ......" The guards suddenly thought of something, and were immediately full of doubts: "Hey, which one is the reinforcement?" They ......"

(To be continued......)

PS: The second shift arrives, asking for a monthly pass, asking for a recommended ticket, and there is a change in the evening.
