Chapter 898: Help Me with a Message
Unfortunately, he soon discovered that this was also a luxury.
Just when he was about to stagger with the more than 200 horsemen, Wang Shuang had already rushed over with more than 60 horses, and dozens of empty saddle war horses rushed into the queue horizontally, cutting off the subordinates who rushed to meet him.
It was undoubtedly a disaster for the galloping cavalry formation to be cut off at the waist. Without the opponent attacking, the damage of trampling each other alone is enough to render this team ineffective. The knights behind didn't have time to turn at all, so they could only rush forward one by one according to their usual practice. Wu Qiu Jian knew better that even though the knights had a good control of the horses, the tired horses did not have enough physical strength to complete such tactical movements.
Waiting for the tragic end of these knights turning a man on his back.
They could no longer count on it, and even if they were not killed by their companions, they would not be able to escape the enemy who was watching from the sidelines.
Wu Qiu Jian felt a chill, but he didn't mess up. He immediately gave up the plan to rendezvous, ordered the soldiers to turn around again, turn back and fight Wei Ba, and at the same time sent a herald to notify the four hundred knights from the south to come and respond.
If you can entangle Wei Ba, even if the whole army is annihilated, you can also consume Wei Ba's physical strength and morale, and when the four hundred knights arrive, there is still a chance to kill Wei Ba and strive for a tragic victory of both sides.
The drums sounded, and the Wei knights turned again, and at the same time, several horsemen rushed out of the queue and galloped south.
Wei Ba understood Wuqiujian's plan at a glance, he stepped on the stirrup, stood up from the horseback, raised the long hammer in his hand, and shouted angrily: "Kill Wuqiujian-"
"Kill Wu Qiu Jian-" The soldiers responded violently, and they were as long as a forest. Chase after Wuqiujian.
In front, Wang Shuang sent dozens of reserve horses to rush into the Wei army, and after interrupting their charging formation, he also turned his horse's head and led the knights to rush to Wuqiu Jian's flank.
Wu Qiu Jian sighed in his heart, he knew that he had no chance. The other party's goal is very clear, it is aimed at him, and it is impossible to give him a chance to escape.
Wang Shuang patted the horse and arrived, clamped the horse's belly hard, and the Xiliang horse under his crotch neighed. Leap up. Leapfrog the two guards who were guarding Wuqiujian's side and crashed into Wuqiujian. He raised his hands high and rounded his long skull, with fierce killing intent. Split with all your might.
Not a thorn this time. It's a split.
More than three feet long. The three long knives with sharp edges, like a big knife, slashed down at Wuqiujian.
Don't be thrifty. With a loud roar, he dropped the sword in his hand, raised his shield with both hands, carried it on his back, and then fell on the horse's back.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the long knots in Wang's hands slashed firmly at the shield in Wu Qiujian's hand, and the shield was torn apart and sawdust scattered. Wu Qiu Jian's eyes darkened, and he saw a huge black shadow rushing towards him from the edge of the shield, and then he felt his body light and floated up. The brilliant sunset flashed before his eyes, followed by the golden grassland, and zuihou was the earth rushing in front of him.
"Phew!" Wu Qiu fell off the horse, stirring up a puff of smoke and dust.
Wang Shuang's war horse crashed into the waist and abdomen of Wuqiu's war horse, and with a clattering sound, the poor war horse was knocked out of a few ribs, and its huge body flew sideways, smashing several war horses to the next and west, and the formation was suddenly chaotic.
Wang Shuang descended like a god, jumped down from the horse's back, waved the long pipe, bent down and swept, the sharp blade cut off the hooves of the two war horses, the war horse fell to the ground with a bang, slid out a dozen steps on the ground, until it hit other war horses, then stopped.
Seeing Wuqiu Jian's fall from the horse, Wuqiu Jian's guards were shocked, and they reined in their horses one after another and turned back to save them. In the chaos, they couldn't see where Wu Qiujian was, so they could only shout loudly and look around. Their shouts attracted more knights, and also attracted Wang Shuang's subordinates, they also surrounded one after another, some controlled the war horse, circled, condescending to kill, some jumped off the horse, the long handle of the long gun was divided into two, the long gun used in the cavalry battle immediately became the long knife used in foot combat, they turned into heavy armor again, formed a circle, protected Wang Shuang, and slashed hard.
Wang Shuang freed his hand, looked around, and found Wuqiu Jian who was unconscious, and couldn't help but let out a loud daxiao. He handed the knife to his left hand, lifted Wuqiu Jian with one hand, and shouted: "Wu Qiu Jian is here, whoever dares to move again, I will cut him." ”
In this short period of confusion, Wei Ba had already arrived, and they galloped past from both sides, surrounding the Wei army, which had lost its formation and was in disarray.
Wuqiu Jian was captured, and the Wei army was completely demoralized and quickly collapsed. Some turned their horses' heads and fled in all directions, others sat on their horses in a daze, bewildered, and others jumped off their horses, threw their weapons, and knelt aside.
The battle is over.
Wei Ba didn't dare to be careless, immediately gathered his camp, returned to the hillside, and condescendingly placed in a blocking formation. More than two hundred captives were also brought to the mountain, tied in a string with ropes, and knelt aside. If the Wei army attacked again, they would become meat shields.
Wei Ba handed over the task of defense to Wang Shuang, and he took Wuqiu Jian back to the Ji Gong Monument, opened the kettle, took a sip of water, and let out a long breath.
The results of casualties on both sides were quick to come in, and the losses were simply too small to be true. Eight knights were killed in battle, twenty-one people were wounded, and the most losses were war horses, in order to disrupt the charging formation of the Wei cavalry, Wang Shuang drove more than 30 reserve horses to attack horizontally, these war horses almost did not survive, even if they were alive, they lost their combat effectiveness, and could only become soup for dinner.
However, compared to the more than 100 horses captured, this loss is negligible.
Those captured Wei knights did not eat the food brought by Wei Ba, but they enjoyed a meal of horse meat, but many of them brought war horses. In this fierce battle, more than 200 war horses on both sides fell on the battlefield, which was enough for each of them to let go of their bellies and have a full meal.
After treatment, Wu Qiu Jian woke up. Looking at Wei Ba's hateful smiling face, he was silent, raised his head, sighed, and leaned weakly on the Ji Gong monument.
"Brother Wuqiu, don't come to harm?" Wei Ba gestured, and a martial artist brought over a kettle, took a piece of freshly roasted haode horse meat, and threw it in front of Wu Qiu Jian.
Wu Qiu Jian glanced at it indifferently: "Kill me, don't bother." ”
"Why bother?" Wei Ba pulled the big sword and squatted in front of Wu Qiu Jian. "Even in front of Cao Gong's monument, you can say without shame that you have done your best."
"Thank you." Wu Qiu Jian glanced at him, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "However, it is still impossible for me to surrender to you." ”
"If you don't fall, you won't fall, it's a big deal that I'll collect another ransom." Wei Ba grinned: "I collected it too cheaply last time, and this time it will be a little more expensive." Alas, how much ransom do you say Cao Rui is willing to pay for you? Five hundred gold, or a thousand gold? ”
"The general of the defeated army is worthless, don't be delusional."
"Haha, don't be presumptuous." Wei Ba thought for a while: "You don't want to live, I can understand that you don't want to shame Cao Rui anymore." But have you ever thought that if you die, no one will know the secret you see? He turned his head and looked at the dejected captives in the distance: "Do you think those people can calmly analyze what they see?" ”
Wu Qiu Jian's eyes shrank and his mouth was closed.
Wei Ba is right, these people are basically Wuhuan people. The Wuhuan people obeyed the rules of the grassland, believed in the strong, and the reason why they succumbed to Cao Wei was because of the battle of White Wolf Mountain, and the Wuhuan people were defeated and defeated, and the Wuhuan cavalry became a sharp weapon in the hands of Cao Cao. Now that Wei Ba has broken 600 horses with more than 100 horses, and he has captured him, the main general, what will the Wuhuan people think? Even if they don't succumb to Wei Ba, I'm afraid they won't dare to confront Wei Ba easily.
As if seeing Wu Qiujian's concern, Wei Ba shook his head again and smiled evilly: "Do you know what this is?" ”
Wu Qiu Jian took advantage of the firelight to take a closer look, and only then did he find that Wei Ba's big corner was embroidered with a white wolf. He looked at Wei Ba in surprise and remembered the prestige of Wei Ba's divine general. When Wei Ba entered Wuling, he subdued Wuxi Man by virtue of his ability to pretend to be a god and make ghosts, and now he is repeating his old tricks to subdue the Wuhuan people?
The White Wolf Holy Mountain, the White Wolf, and the Pan Gu that is very similar to the wolf, coupled with Wei Ba's almost miraculous record, what will the Wuhuan people who believe in wolves and claim to be the descendants of wolves think?
Wu Qiu Jian gasped, and after a while, he smiled bitterly: "It turns out that this is the battlefield you chose, and that fine work was also sent out by you, right?" ”
"Of course." Wei Ba smiled: "I sincerely invited you to come, without you, I wouldn't be so shocked." ”
Wu Qiu Jian tried his best to pretend to be very calm and asked, "But, how do you know that I will definitely ambush you here?" If I had withdrawn, wouldn't you have been busy in vain? ”
"I have to say, it's a possibility." Wei Ba nodded and said, "I won't tell you, in fact, my original target was not you, but Gongsun Yuan." It's just that you're coming, so I might as well give it a try. It doesn't matter if you don't come, just take it as if you're hunting, the difference is just the size of the harvest. ”
Wei Ba pointed at Wuqiu Jian, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Obviously, I'm lucky." ”
Wu Qiu Jian was silent for a moment, and then asked, "You let people go to Wild Wolf Valley, just to see if I'm still there?" ”
"I want to be able to take control of the initiative so that I can be more sure. If I don't let you rush here, how can I win so easily? Wei Ba nodded, shook his head again, and said, "Also, if you have too many people and too many risks, I will have to leave without a fight and escape." ”
Wu Qiu Jian smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Wei Ba paused, and said: "Don't blame yourself, whether you are fooled or not, my strength is obvious." It's just a matter of coming out a little earlier or later. I think that as long as anyone with a discerning eye can see that the destiny is no longer in the Cao family. How they eat it, how they have to spit it out. Wu Guo is a ready-made example, and Sun Quan is Cao Rui's role model. If he knows the current affairs, goes to the emperor, calls himself a minister, and withdraws from Luoyang, he may be able to retain a prince, and his ancestors will be able to eat blood. If you don't know the current affairs, then don't blame others, we will also enter Luoyang, and the Cao family will inevitably be nailed to the pillar of shame. ”
He looked at Wu Qiu Jian and smiled faintly: "I hope you can bring a message to Cao Rui and negotiate." ”
