Although Li Ru still wanted to arrange for Dian Wei to keep a killer weapon to deal with Zhuge Liang, in order not to make the cavalry of the Sixth Legion suffer too heavy losses, he also had to nod and say: "Okay, the legion commander will go to battle, but remember, if the other party is too strong, or if reinforcements come, you must retreat." ”

"The military advisor just rest assured." Dian Wei replied disappreciatively. And this reassurance in his mouth means that after he joins the battlefield, the Xishu soldiers will be defeated, or whether he will really obey the order, only he knows.

I had been waiting for the cavalry of the 150,000-6th Legion for a long time, and I couldn't help it for a long time when I saw my companions killing the enemy on the battlefield, and now that I could finally go to battle, everyone was holding back their strength, and after seeing the legion commander rushing out, they followed out one by one with a howl.

In addition to the 10,000 archers, Wei Yan, who only had 70,000 cavalry, faced Yan Liang, who had 100,000 cavalry, was already a little invincible, if he hadn't really put a lot of effort into these cavalry and trained for a long time, I am afraid that he would not have been able to hold it for a long time. And now, with Dian Wei entering with 150,000 cavalry, the heart that was still a trace of resistance completely collapsed, and before he could even give the order, the cavalry that was still alive under his command had turned their horses' heads and began to retreat. As for the archers, they had already died in battle in the course of the previous cavalry hedge.

The world of cavalry, the presence of infantry in it, is obviously very sad.

"It's not good, the Celestial Empire has increased its troops, see my old Zhang intercept them." In the Xishu camp, Zhang Fei said in shock after seeing countless torches surging in the distance. At the same time, prepare to ride into battle on the battlefield.

"The three generals can't, the other side is all cavalry, and the infantry is invincible if they rush up now." Zhuge Liang did stop Zhang Fei at the first time.

The way the battle has been fought so far has also been somewhat unexpected by Zhuge Liang.

Originally, he thought that the other party would be separated after a tentative attack, at least he didn't think that Wei Yan would be so desperate. But what he didn't expect was that Yan Liang of the enemy army was really desperate, how could he, who was bent on setting up a battle attack, let the Xishu cavalry slip away from under his nose?

In this way, Wei Yan couldn't fight if he didn't want to, because if he retreated when the other party's morale was full, the price he would pay would only be greater. If he is still the coach, of course he can fight to pay some and retreat, but here he is not in charge, but Zhuge Liang is in charge of everything. He didn't dare to think about whether people would punish him if he was defeated and returned. In desperation, I had to fight hard, which led to a lose-lose result.

Because Wei Yan was worried about being blamed, he had to work hard, which also made the situation not as Zhuge Liang thought before.

Zhuge Liang persuaded the three generals who were about to rush to the battlefield, and immediately Zhang Fei said with a puzzled face: "What does the military advisor mean?" Do you want to watch General Wei Yan and their cavalry all eaten? ”

"Third General, I know you can't bear to watch your comrades have an accident, am I willing? Now it's not that you won't be allowed to get on, but that you will rush into the cavalry battlefield with infantry, and you will not have an advantage. As for General Wei Yan, you have to believe him, there should be no problem with self-preservation, as for the brothers who have been injured so much, the third general, please rest assured, when the dawn comes, I will get it back. Zhuge Liang said to Zhang Fei with a serious expression.

For the three generals, Zhuge Liang knows very well. Righteousness, impulsiveness, bravery. If you want to convince such a person, you must have enough reason.

Sure enough, after listening to these explanations, Zhang Fei wanted to rush into the battlefield with a lot less heart, but he still asked Zhuge Liang uneasily: "Can the prime minister really guarantee to avenge the cavalry when it gets dark?" ”

"Naturally, Liang said so, and he could do it. If it doesn't work, let the three generals fall. Zhuge Liang replied with great confidence.

A prime minister dares to say that the general will be sent down, which in itself is a great courage. Of course, the premise is that the identity of this general is not ordinary, he is the sworn brother of Emperor Liu Bei of the Han Yuan Dynasty.

"Okay." Seeing Zhuge Liang's confident appearance, Zhang Fei nodded in disbelief, "Then I'll wait until dawn." It's just that let's say it first, if the prime minister doesn't have a better way at that time, don't blame me for leading the troops to attack. Even if the infantry is inferior to the other party, I will kill them, and let them know the bravery of our Xishu soldiers. ”

"It's nature." Seeing that Zhang Fei agreed, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that this person would not listen to the persuasion and lead the army to kill, so if this was the case, he really couldn't restrain the other party.

After convincing Zhang Fei, Zhuge Liang called his own soldiers and arranged: "Inform the whole army to retreat ten miles, and at the same time scatter the prepared thistle terrestris to the ground to stop the impact of the opposing cavalry." Then find an open place to put out the large chain crossbow, and at the same time put it on the opponent's retreat road, this time I want to let the other party have no return. ”

The large-scale chain crossbow is the killer feature of Zhuge Liang's preparation.

The normal chain crossbow has been transformed from being able to shoot three arrows at a time to now being able to shoot seven arrows at a time, and the roots are extremely large. One can imagine what kind of killing power it can bring once such a thing is shot into the camp of the cavalry.

Originally, Zhuge Liang wanted to test the strength of the Celestial Empire's army first, and then shot it out when he was looking for an opportunity for the opponent's cavalry to charge. Now it seems that the opportunity is coming, and it is only necessary to wait until dawn to see the specific location of the target and fight back with all his might.

Zhuge Liang was preparing, and Wei Yan was indeed fleeing for his life.

After Dian Wei led an army of 150,000 into the battlefield, Wei Yan knew that this battle would undoubtedly be lost.

Knowing that the resistance would be ineffective, he and the still alive cavalry began to retreat quickly. It's just that in this way, it is inevitable that you will be covered by the opponent's cavalry. Seeing that one cavalry after another was killed because they fled behind, and the number of cavalry he brought was rapidly decreasing, and when it was almost dawn, there were less than 5,000 of the original 70,000 cavalry left, and he was in tears.

These are all the elites of Jingzhou's soldiers, and they are all dead like this, how can he, as the main general, not feel distressed?

It's just that there is really no way now, and even seeing that the reinforcements from the Celestial Empire have arrived, he still hasn't seen the slightest shadow of his side, and he is even more angry, he has decided that after this war, he must refer to the emperor Zhuge Liang. This is not the slightest mistake in treating Jingzhou soldiers as human lives.

Wei Yan ran away, and when there was still an hour of dawn, he could finally see the torches of his own camp in the distance, and at this time he seemed to be able to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It was precisely because they could see their own camp from a distance that the speed of the five thousand Jingzhou cavalry began to increase. It's like walking in the desert where people are short of water, and suddenly they see an oasis and a lake, and they will activate the potential for life.

"All the same, all the same."

Just as the cavalry was running away, suddenly a cavalryman fell to the ground as if he had been knocked down by something.

This sudden change made Wei Yan hurriedly restrain the war horse, "What's going on?" ”

"General Bao, we found a large number of thistles on the ground, and the war horse will be stabbed to the ground after stepping on it." A centurion dismounted and groped for himself on the ground, and then replied urgently.

"What? Tribulus terrestris. Hearing the centurion's answer, Wei Yan's heart was desolate. Even though he knew that these things were supposed to be aimed at the cavalry of the Celestial Empire, he was still sad for a while, because these things also blocked him here.

"It's not a good thing, General! The cavalry of the Celestial Empire chased after them. The other centurion saw the rolling dragon behind him, and although he couldn't see it clearly, the murderous aura could still be felt far away.

"What to do General!" As soon as they heard the pursuers coming behind them, the five thousand cavalry became anxious one by one, and it can be imagined that seeing that life is imminent, but it is indeed just a fog to see flowers, what kind of mood everyone will have.

"What else? Spelled. Wei Yan, who knew that it was difficult to escape, showed a desperate look on his face at this moment, that is, there was no escape, and there was only one way to desperately. only hated to die like this, and he really couldn't go to Zhuge Liang.

"We fought hard, but the general can't die, you have to tell the emperor everything that happened here, our 70,000 cavalry and 10,000 archers can't die in vain." A personal soldier who had been following Wei Yan for a long time suddenly shouted loudly.

At this time, if everyone still doesn't know that they were abandoned by Zhuge Liang, their thinking is too dull.

"Yes, the general must get out alive. Please dismount the general. ”

"Please dismount, General." For a while, all the cavalry echoed it.

Wei Yan was not a person who was afraid of death, but he just died like this, he really couldn't bear it, he still had too many things to do. Even though all the cavalry had the same idea, he immediately dismounted, and then knelt down on the ground with a plop and said: "Please rest assured, Yan will definitely seek justice for everyone, here, Yan knocks on everyone." ”

After speaking, Wei Yan really knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the five thousand cavalry.

"Take care, general, I'll wait." After a shout, the five thousand cavalry turned their horses and rushed straight towards the cavalry of the Celestial Dynasty who were pursuing them in the distance. Wei Yan himself only took a few personal soldiers and walked towards the Xishu military camp on foot.

Those thistles are very lethal to war horses, but as long as you change to walking and look at a little, the effect becomes very small.

The sky was about to dawn, and the five thousand Jingzhou cavalry rushed into Dian Wei's cavalry of the Sixth Army like a wolf, and in less than half an hour, they were killed. Later, looking at the Xishu military camp that was already dimly visible in the distance, Dian Wei couldn't help laughing.
