Chapter 338: Suspicious

The Wei army's infantry formation was standard, with crossbowmen in three rows in front and taking turns firing, followed by foot soldiers armed with swords, shields and spears. There is a one-step gap between the two crossbowmen in a horizontal row, so that the crossbowmen will not interfere with each other when firing their arrows, and second, when the enemy forces are approaching, the foot soldiers behind can rush to the forefront through these gaps to protect the crossbowmen.

The soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion are all battle-hardened soldiers, and their cooperation with each other is far more tacit than that of ordinary soldiers, so they dare to put on this kind of formation when the enemy is less than a hundred steps away from them. They've faced opponents who are inferior to them in every way, and they've never had much trouble with this tactic. But today, they met the Wei family's martial arts who were equally strong in their personal martial arts and even better equipped with equipment, and they hesitated a little bit in the formation change. And this brief hesitation was immediately firmly grasped by the Wei family's martial arts.

When Wei Feng and the others arrived, the foot soldiers of the Wuwei battalion had just rushed to the front of the formation through the gap of the crossbowmen, and before they could gain a firm foothold, let alone line up the formation, they were attacked by Wei Feng.

Wei Feng roared wildly, and a knife chopped on the shield of the tiger warrior, the tiger warrior was not stable on his footing, and he couldn't stop Wei Feng's strength, and the shield was chopped off, revealing the gap in his chest. Wei Feng took advantage of the situation to stab the war knife over, and the sharp war knife pierced the gap in the armor and pierced the chest of the tiger warrior. The tiger roared in pain, and slashed with a sword.

Wei Feng didn't give him a chance at all, as soon as the knife was sent in, the whole person crashed into his arms, slammed into his shoulders, knocked him stumbling backwards, and barely stopped until he hit his companion behind him. Wei Feng took advantage of the situation and pulled out his sword. Slash at the crossbowman next to him.

The crossbowman was holding a crossbow and crossbow, and he didn't have time to react at all, and was slashed by Wei Feng and fell to the ground with a bang.

The Wei family's military soldiers seized the fighter plane, rushed in, and killed those stunned crossbowmen. In a matter of moments, more than half of the two hundred crossbowmen were killed or wounded, and the rest retreated in panic, further hindering the formation of the foot soldiers. Wei Feng and the others have rich combat experience, where would they let go of such a great opportunity. They screamed to the ground. rushed to the tiger warrior who was not ready.

For the first time since its establishment, the Wuwei Battalion encountered an opponent of equal strength, but it lost the opportunity and fell into passivity for a while. was killed by the Wei family's soldiers and retreated again and again. This greatly shocked the Wei army. It began with the attack of the Shu army. Although the Wei army has always been at a disadvantage. But morale never wavered, and although they were nervous, they did not panic. Instead, he went into battle with confidence, believing that he would be able to repel the incoming enemy. Even if the left battalion was broken by the Shu army, they still thought so.

It was only at this time that the Wuwei battalion was beaten by the other party, the crossbowmen lost more than half, and the enemy slaughtered the position of the Chinese emperor Bixia like a bamboo, and the Wei army began to panic.

"Don't panic!" Xu Ding was experienced, he immediately saw the crisis, and took the personal guard battalion to kill him, and the long knife came out of the sheath and slashed directly at the top of Wei Feng's head. Wei Feng's fighting spirit was strong, and when he saw that an enemy was coming, he was even more wild, not retreating, but advancing, and went straight up.

The two knives slashed at each other, cutting out clusters of sparks, making a crisp impact sound, the war knife in Xu Ding's hand was not as sharp and tough as the war knife in Wei Feng's hand, and with a soft "bang", it was broken into two, Wei Feng was unforgiving, and he slashed seven times in one breath. Xu Ding brandished the half-truncated knife, slashing left and right, and defusing them one by one, but he was also forced by Wei Feng to take five steps back.

The Wei family's military guards followed like a shadow, quickly followed up, and tore a gap in the position of the Wuwei battalion.

For a time, the Wuwei battalion fell into passivity.

Although Xu Ding was defeated, he struggled to throw half of the war knife at Wei Feng, and at the same time took a new war knife from the hands of his personal guards and killed it again. This time, he no longer had a hard encounter with Wei Feng, but formed a small formation with two personal guards to slash and kill around Wei Feng. Wei Feng was one against three, he was not afraid, and the sword danced vigorously.

However, he could no longer take a step forward, and Xu Ding successfully blocked Wei Feng's forward momentum.

Not far away, Ma Yan, who was a head taller than ordinary people, saw this scene in his eyes, and he immediately shouted loudly: "Don't fall in love!" Don't be in love! Rush forward, kill Cao Rui, and avenge the king! ”

As soon as he heard Ma Yan's words, he realized that this was not the time to be brave, and it was much more useful to kill Cao Rui than to kill this Wei general. He slashed three times in a row, slashing a tiger soldier with one knife, and when their offensive was frustrated, he took three steps back, raised his knife and shouted: "Kill Cao Rui and avenge the king!" ”

When the Wei family soldiers heard this, they roared in unison: "Kill Cao Rui and avenge the king!" "Reorganize the battle formation and kill the Chinese army again.

At this moment, they were less than fifty steps away from where Cao Rui was, their roar was neat and majestic, Cao Rui could hear it clearly, and couldn't help frowning: "King? Which king? ”

Chen Tai's eyes rolled, and he immediately responded: "Could it be King Wu Sun Quan?" Sun Quan's son Sun Wei was killed, and it is said that Sun Quan was already angry and attacked, and Lu Xun was quite incompatible. Could it be that he sent someone to attack? They have warships and can easily cross the Han River? ”

Cao Rui glanced at him, nodded, and said lightly: "There is a possibility." ”

Liu Ye saw Cao Rui's demeanor in his eyes and couldn't help but smile slightly. He picked up the conversation: "Bixia, no matter what the enemy is, as long as you grab a few and ask, it will naturally come out." ”

"What Aiqing said is very true." Cao Rui raised his head slightly, listening to the shouting and killing in the distance, and the corners of his mouth pursed into a light smile. He waved his hand lightly: "Chen Tai, inform the tiger and leopard to attack, cut off their back path, and annihilate them in one fell swoop." ”

"Yui!" Chen Tai bowed down and agreed, turned around and went to give the order.

Cao Rui put his hands behind his back and paced slowly. His steps were steady, and there was no nervousness on his face, but his eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if there was some intractable mystery coiled in his mind.

The Wuwei battalion is the elite of the world, and Xu Ding is a battle-hardened veteran, although they were suppressed by the Wei family's military guards, they were not defeated. They fought with the Wei family's soldiers at any cost, stubbornly counterattacked, Wei Feng and the others had to make great efforts every time they took a step forward, and they could no longer be as fast as when they attacked the left camp just now.

Ma Jian sighed secretly, he knew that things could only go so far, he had made the most adequate arrangements, and also designed the most exquisite tactics, but after all, the troops were insufficient, and they could take a temporary effect, but they could not achieve the victory of Zuihou. Wei Jun's tenacity exceeded his expectations, and Cao Rui's composure surprised him. Although Cao Rui's imperial tent was within sight, so far, he had not seen any signs of panic from the Wei army.

As long as Cao Rui is not chaotic, he can calmly observe the entire battlefield, and he has to use the cover made by the night to quickly be seen by Cao Rui and make corresponding arrangements. In the face of the superior strength of the Wei army, if one blow is missed, it is impossible for another miracle to happen, and if it is hesitant, it may cause immeasurable losses.

Although Ma Tan felt regretful, he still gave the order without thinking.

"Beat the drums and prepare to retreat!"

The herald beat the war drums, and the rousing war drums broke through the noisy shouts and reverberated over the battlefield. Hearing the rapid sound of war drums, the soldiers on both sides subconsciously let out an angry roar.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Wei Feng took his personal guards and advanced strongly, once again killing Xu Ding step by step. Just when the soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion did not dare to take it lightly, they suddenly retreated like a tide.

The soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion had not yet reacted, and Wei Feng and the others had already retreated dozens of steps.

The Shu army had already made arrangements in advance, knowing that the sound of war drums this time was actually a sign of retreat, so after the sudden impact, it quickly turned into a state of retreat, and everyone covered each other and retreated resolutely and orderly. The Wei army did not have such preparations, they heard the enemy beating the war drums, and instinctively thought that the other party wanted to launch a strong attack again, so they subconsciously arranged the formation intensively and prepared for a more difficult battle, but they did not expect that the other party would advance and retreat. By the time they reacted, Wei Feng and the others had already withdrawn far away.

The Shu army came suddenly, and it went even more suddenly. Although Xu Ding reacted in time and recaptured the position with the Wuwei battalion, when Wei Feng and the others retreated into the chaotic camp of the left army, they did not continue to follow up. Without Cao Rui's order, they could not leave their defense area to pursue.

Above the battle, the situation changed rapidly, and by the time Xu Ding conveyed the news to Cao Rui, Wei Feng had already withdrawn from the left camp. They retreated in time, and as soon as they left the Wei camp and disappeared into the darkness, the sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance.

Ma Jian was not in a hurry, how could he not be prepared at all for the world-famous tiger and leopard riding. The 1,000 people he left behind were there to deal with these tigers and leopards.

"Withdraw!" Ma Jian waved his hand and retreated side by side with Wei Feng.

The tiger and leopard rode through the darkness and killed, and before they could see the situation in front of them, a rain of arrows suddenly flew out of the darkness. Although the knight who rushed to the front was on guard and blocked the vital point with his shield, he could not protect the horse. Several horses were hit by arrows, and the neighing man stood up, knocking the knight on horseback to the ground.

In the darkness, the tiger and leopard rider did not dare to let go of the attack, but now they were ambushed by the opponent's arrow array, and they did not dare to be careless. Their task is not to kill as many enemies as possible, but to protect Emperor Bixia. Now that the enemy has retreated and Emperor Bixia is already safe, of course they don't need to risk chasing them, so they stopped as soon as they were intercepted by a rain of arrows and waited for the battle.

Wei Feng and the others withdrew from the battlefield safely, leaving Cao Rui in a mess and confused.

Looking at the battlefield that gradually subsided, looking at the two battalions on the left and right that were on fire everywhere, Cao Rui let go of his clenched fists, but he couldn't see a smile on his face. calmly repelled the enemy, but did not bring him even a trace of relief. The report of General Huwei Xu Ding made him suspicious again.

The enemy shouted "Avenge the king", is that king really King Wu? Since Gan Ning's death, Wu Jun seems to have never heard of such a brave general. And what kind of person is that elite soldier who is about 1,000 people and can kill even the Wuwei battalion that can't resist? Judging from their performance, they are not like ordinary soldiers in the army, but more like dead soldiers.

There are more than 1,000 dead soldiers, who has such courage? Now that they have retreated, when will they come back in the future? (To be continued......)
