Sima Shi sat on horseback, looked at the position of the Shu army in the distance, his eyes gradually extended along the hillside on the north side of the position, gradually extended Xiangshang, turned around, and slowly came back, looking at Danshui on the south side of the position, and felt uneasy in his heart.

The terrain chosen by Deng Zhi is also very ingenious, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it was chosen temporarily, but it seems that he has prepared in advance and is ready to face it here. It was only forty miles away from Shangluo, and even if the Shu Han army was all foot soldiers, they would have time to make a good deployment.

If they were in ambush somewhere else, such as behind him, the terrain would not be suitable for cavalry charges. Sima Shi and Liang Ji glanced at each other, and they both saw some worry in each other's eyes. When they first arrived, there seemed to be a place that was more suitable for ambushes and blockades.

"Liang joins the army, you lead five hundred people to the back of the battle."

"Whoa." Liang Ji didn't dare to slack off, and immediately rushed to the place suitable for ambush with five hundred cavalry, so as not to be flanked.

After solving his worries, Sima Shi began to think wholeheartedly about how to solve Deng Zhi in front of him. Judging from the opponent's battle flags, Deng Zhi is now more than 2,000 people, and he is a tired division after two consecutive days of rapid marching. Sima Shi was confident enough to break through Deng Zhi's defenses, and as long as a gap was opened, the cavalry would rush in like a rolling torrent, killing those remnants with nowhere to escape.

As for the captured Wei troops in front of the battle, Sima Shi didn't pay attention to them at all. Since they are warriors, they must be prepared to die in battle. If you didn't die on the battlefield and were captured by the other side, are you still eligible to live? Deng Zhi put the prisoners in front of the battle, just to show his firmness and use it to break the morale of the Wei army.

On the battlefield, sometimes it's just about who is ruthless, and ruthless people will not be respected, but they will be afraid.

Sima Shi waved his hand. He called a knight and gave him a few words. The knight looked at Sima Shi in amazement for a moment, then turned his horse forward. Gallop forward to the front. He slowed down his horse fifty paces before leaving the formation, slowly walked to the front of the formation, and shouted:

"Great Wei military law, the one who cowers in battle. Chop! The Major General is merciful and gives you a chance to live. Immediately turn around and kill Deng Zhi, you can avoid death. If you are cowardly. Where the army goes, it is difficult to save lives. ”

The captives looked up at the knight and felt a pang of fear. They are now unarmed, and their palms are still worn together, how can they kill Deng Zhi? If they had the ability, would they have waited until now? Sima Shi said this, but he didn't actually want them to kill Deng Zhi. It's about giving yourself an excuse to kill.

The captives cried loudly: "Major General, help—"

"Major General, don't kill us!"

"Major General, let us live, we will try to kill the enemy."

The cries of dozens of people mingled. Some struggled to crawl forward, some were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground, and the feces and urine came out.

The knight did not dare to raise his head to look at the captives, who had once been his robes, but now they were kneeling in front of the battle like pigs and dogs, waiting for the fate of being slaughtered, and it was his former comrades who would kill them with his own hands. He closed his eyes, exerted all his strength, and shouted Sima Shi's order again in a hoarse voice.

"Great Wei military law, those who cower in battle, slash! Major General Benevolence ......"

He shouted three times in a row, then turned his horse's head, returned to Sima Shi, and bowed: "Major General, the order has been delivered." ”

Sima Shi gently shook the horsewhip: "Do you feel reluctant?" ”

The knight was stunned for a moment, bowed his head and remained silent.

Sima Shi glanced at him and asked, "Do you think I'm cruel?" ”

The knight's face changed greatly, and he didn't dare to be silent anymore, so he hurriedly said: "Major General, my subordinates don't dare to think like this." ”

"And what do you think?" Sima Shi pointed at the prisoners in front of the battle: "Do you think you should kill them, or should you save them?" ”

The knight smbabbed for a moment, lowered his head, and his voice was as low as a mosquito: "They should be killed." ”

"What?" Sima Shi turned his ears sideways and frowned: "Dignified man, weishenme speaks so delicately, are you a daughter?" ”

The three words "daughter's body" pierced the knight's heart deeply, he raised his head, blushed, and shouted: "Young General, they should be killed!" ”

"Good!" Sima Shi nodded with satisfaction: "You take fifty people, go and kill them now, and then charge into battle." ”

The knight looked at Sima Shi in astonishment, and Sima Shi glanced at him: "Don't dare?" ”

The knight gritted his teeth and clenched his fists in response: "Huh." ”

Fifty knights rushed out of the array, they formed a sagittal formation, holding a shield in their left hand, pulling their horse's mane, holding a war horse and a spear in their right hand, leaning forward, lying on the horse's back, kicking the war horse, and rushing towards the position of the Shu Han army.

The horses ran faster and faster on the flat river beach, their hooves kicking up the mud that had been dried by the winter sun, trampling the dry grass into pieces, and flying into the air with the rise and fall of the horses' hooves, rolling up a billowing cloud of smoke and dust.

The distance of two or three hundred paces was instantaneous, and the sound of horses' hooves became more and more urgent, gradually converging into a muffled thunder, rolling towards the position of the Shu Han army. The captives in front of the battle first felt the shaking of the earth, they looked at the iron hooves that were getting closer and closer, looked at the war knives that reflected the cold light in the sun, some were terrified, some were colorless, they struggled, despite the sharp pain of being scraped by the straw rope, desperately fled to the sides, hoping to avoid the impact of the iron horse.

Deng Zhi sighed secretly, although Sima Shi was young, he recognized the situation very clearly, he didn't leave any room for himself at all, and took the lead in slaughtering the captives. He didn't care about his emotion, and shouted loudly: "Crossbowman, fire!" ”

"Buzz!" With a heart-palpitating roar, dozens of crossbow carts began to roar, and a dense rain of arrows rushed towards the oncoming knights. The knight who rushed to the front didn't even snort, and even the man and horse were stabbed into hedgehogs. The horse screamed and staggered to the ground. The knights behind did not hesitate, they turned their horses, avoided their fallen companions, and continued to rush towards the position of the Shu Han army. As soon as he rushed out a few steps, he was shot down by a rain of arrows shot head-on, and even people and horses fell to the ground with a bang, smashing into smoke and dust.

Every ten steps forward, two or three horses fell to the ground, but the speed of the Wei army became faster and faster, and they traded the sacrifices of their comrades for time, and quickly approached the position of the Shu Han army.

"Shoot!" Deng Zhi frowned, and once again gave the order to shoot, and at the same time ordered the spear and sword shield hands to step forward and prepare to block the attack.

At last a knight rushed to the front of the formation, and the knight on horseback hunched down, and with a flash of sharp sword, he cut the hemp rope that was worn in the palms of the captives. Before he could straighten up, he was hit by two arrows in a row, plopping down his horse, and then trampled on the chest by his horse. Before the screams could be uttered, his head was kicked in the head by a galloping horse's hoof, and he flew out in a terrible sight.

There were only three rounds in the battle, and with the help of powerful crossbow carts, the arrow array of the Shu Han army was several times denser, but it still could not stop the cavalry charge of the Wei army. The Wei cavalry bought time with nearly half of the casualties and rushed to the front of the battle.

The two knights slammed into the reins of their horses and collided with the Shu soldiers who were hiding behind the baggage carts. The war horse raised its head and swayed its tail, drawing an arc in the air, and it also became the most haode target. The five spearmen roared loudly, clenched the spears in their hands in unison, and stepped on the spears tightly with their feet.

"Boom!" After several arrows in a row, the war horse that was pierced through the belly by a spear neighed miserably, and fell to the baggage cart, and its huge body smashed the baggage cart to sway. The spears broke, and the spearmen were knocked back again and again, throwing the blood that had been grazed by the hilt of the spear, and fell to the ground.

The knight was pressed by the war horse and struggled to stand up, where were the soldiers of the Shu army willing to let him have such an opportunity, the two sword and shield men strode forward, raised their knives in their hands, and cut off his head. However, they were also slashed by the knights who rushed behind.

The two sides fought together, and constantly there were war horses that were stabbed by spears, killed by arrows, fell to the ground, and groaned in front of the baggage carts, and broke the legs of the soldiers of the Shu army, opened their skin, and spit blood. However, no one refused to back down, and the Wei knights came one after another, using the powerful impact of the war horses to slam into the positions of the Shu army, and the Shu army desperately blocked with the help of baggage carts and spears and crossbows.

The flesh and blood flew in front of the ten-step-wide formation, one by one the war horses neighed and fell to the ground, one by one the knights fell from their horses, and were hacked to death by the Shu soldiers who rushed up, and one by one the Shu soldiers died under the impact of the war horses, and died under the war horses and spears of the Wei knights.

But in the blink of an eye, fifty war horses and more than a hundred soldiers on both sides fell in front of the battle. The first line of defense formed by the baggage trucks was crumbling.

Deng Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, although the price paid was very large, but after all, he blocked the first wave of the Wei army's offpick. As there are more and more corpses in front of the battle, it will be more and more difficult for the Wei army to charge, and the difficulty for him to hold on will gradually decrease. He glanced at the repeater carts, and thanked Wei Ba once again, if there were no repeater carts transformed by Wei Ba, just because he now had a crossbowman, it would be impossible to block the first wave of attacks from the Wei army.

Of course, there is also this terrain, stopping here to block and wait for reinforcements, it is also he and Wei Ba who have carefully calculated and made haode arrangements. In order to rush here to seize the advantageous terrain, he did not force his subordinates.

Ci is not in charge of the army, Deng Zhi knows this truth. If you want to win the war, you can't be a homesickness, you have to be ruthless when you should be ruthless. For example, now, he has to compete with Sima Shi and kill more than anyone. Not only to kill the enemy, but also to kill your own people.

What is a Famous Player? It is not a skill to be able to kill the enemy, but the one who can make his subordinates follow one another and die without turning his heel is the real famous general.

Like Deng Zhi, Sima Shi also thought of this truth, so he sent another hundred horsemen.
