Chapter 194: The Upper Horse Goes to the Lower Horse (The Alliance Leader Adds More, Asks for a Monthly Pass!) )

In the early hours of the morning, Deng Zhi took people away. Although the Wei knights were fierce, they could not attack the city, and with Wei Ba and his guards guarding it, the Shangxian city could be said to be foolproof, so Deng Zhi slept peacefully. In the second half of the night, he got up and prepared to attack Sima Shi's camp, but received news from Wei Ba that the situation had changed, Sima Shi did not leave any flaws, and the night attack before dawn was canceled, and General Deng was asked to set off for Shangluo immediately.

Although Deng Zhi was a little regretful, he still knew Wei Ba's intentions. You use a trick, but also to see if the other party is not fooled, if the other party is not fooled, then jihua can only cancel. This is the meaning of the soldier's shape like water, there is no fixed formula available, see the move, it all depends on the impromptu response of the generals on both sides.

So Deng Zhi immediately set off with the army. They were foot soldiers, and they walked on a galloping road, and even a few torches were enough to hurry. There was no enemy in front, only the reinforcements and destinations that were received, and after these soldiers who had withdrawn from Wuguan rested for the night, their physical strength also recovered well, and they walked very easily, and their speed was much faster than yesterday.

They were two hours ahead of Sima Shi, and by the time Sima Shi began to chase, they had already walked seventy or eighty miles.

But Wei Ba didn't leave. First, Shang County needed people to stay behind to prevent Sima Shi from pursuing quickly, and secondly, his subordinates also worked hard in the middle of the night and needed to rest for a while to recuperate. More importantly, he needed enough manpower to storm these cavalry left behind by Sima Shi.

He believed that these cavalrymen who had worked hard all night were now very tired, and knowing that there were still people in Shang County, Sima Shi would not force them to follow the army, and it was more likely that they would stay, monitor the people in the city, and at the same time seize the time to rest.

According to the comparison of the forces of the two sides, it should be said that there is no problem at all with the arrangement of Sima Division. Even if there were 2,000 people in Shang County, it was impossible for them to be the opponent of these 1,000 cavalry. And he pursued the other two thousand men with two thousand elite horsemen, and he was also captured. No matter which part, he has an absolute advantage.

As a matter of convention. Sima Shi's idea is not wrong at all, even if it is not subtle, at least it is steady and steady, and there is no flaw at all. If you have to say he's wrong. He only made one mistake: he didn't know that Wei Ba had eight hundred Wei family soldiers in his hands.

Eight hundred Wei family warriors are powerful enough to be worth two thousand ordinary foot soldiers. For such an elite, the more emphasis is placed on skirmishes of individual martial arts. The greater their role, the more they can even fight five against one, and one as ten.

For example, now facing a thousand Wei army elite cavalry who have been tired all night.

Wei Ba changed his mind after discovering Sima Shi's response. He asked Ma Cao and the others to go back to the city to rest. He only took Dunwu and other twenty soldiers to harass outside Sima Shi's camp. Dunwu and the others are the elite of Wei Jiawu's pawns, and since following Wei Ba, they have focused on training some skills that only Wei Ba knows, this kind of ambush and harassment tactics. It's not difficult for them at all. Twenty people acted separately, some ambushed, some released hidden arrows, and some were responsible for responding, and they cooperated tacitly. He was so stunned that a thousand knights could not live in peace, and achieved the record of wounding more than 50 people and taking more than 20 horses.

Wei Ba used these twenty people to harass Sima Shi overnight, while the others recuperated and waited for the arrival of new fighters.

This fighter is the division of the Sima Division.

Three thousand elite horsemen gathered together, not to mention that Wei Ba only had eight hundred soldiers, even if there were three thousand, he might not dare to attack easily. The power of the cavalry group's charge should not be underestimated. That is the armored forces of this era. But now the situation is different, Sima Division divided the troops, only a thousand people were left outside Shangxian County, the power is not just a third left, the cavalry against the foot soldiers, the large formation is one enemy five, the small formation is one enemy three, the more the number of people, the greater the advantage of the cavalry. The power of a thousand elite horsemen is only one-fifth of the power of three thousand elite horsemen, or even lower.

If you count these cavalrymen who are tired like dead dogs, then their combat effectiveness will be discounted again.

But they were facing the biggest trump card in Wei Ba's hands. The advantages of both sides were reversed in this local battlefield.

So when Wei Ba learned that Sima Shi was chasing all the way west with two thousand elite horsemen, he did not hesitate to give the order to attack, and under the escort of Dun Wu and others, he personally led eight hundred Wei family soldiers to take the lead in opening the city gate, like a tiger descending the mountain, and went straight to the camp left by Sima Shi.

After a hard night's work, just after breakfast, the knights, who were a little drowsy, heard the earth-shattering shouts outside the camp, and heard the rapid sound of the alarm gong, all of them were a little sluggish, and after a while, they realized that this was an enemy attack. Still unimpressed, they rushed out of the tent one by one, untied the horses tied to the tent, and prepared to annihilate these enemies who did not know the height of the sky, and reported the hatred of harassment at night.

Their mood was relaxed, even excited, when they saw that the enemy rushing over was only less than a thousand people, they were even more disappointed, only a thousand foot soldiers, where is their opponent, not even a little challenging.

So the lieutenant, with a smile, gave the order to open the camp gate and prepare to charge out of the camp.

But soon, he regretted his sloppiness.

As soon as the camp gate opened, eight hundred Wei family soldiers rushed in front of them, led by nearly a hundred knights, all of whom leaned forward and sat steadily on their horses, holding crossbows in their left hands and holding their war horses in their right hands. This posture first startled the Wei knights. Even in the Wei army, except for the tiger and leopard cavalry, no battalion can pick out a hundred knights who can charge on horseback without hand control, you must know that it is not easy to sit firmly on the back of a bumpy war horse, so the usual knights are tightly grasping the horse's mane with one hand and raising their weapons with the other hand to fight.

A knight with his hands loose like this is definitely the best of knights.

When did the Shu Han army have elite knights?

Without waiting for the Wei army to react, Wei Ba urged the war horse and rushed into the Wei army's camp.

"Shoot!" Dunwu roared, and the twenty knights who rushed to the front pulled the crossbow machine in unison, and more than twenty sharp arrows left the string, hitting the stunned Wei knights. The knights of the Wei army screamed one after another, turned over and fell off their horses. Before the people behind could understand what was going on, Wei Ba and the others had already rushed in, waved the war knife in their hands, rounded their arms, and slashed with all their might.

"Kill!" Wei Ba's eyes widened and he screamed. A sword split a Wei knight with a halberd in half. Blood spurted from the knight's neck, splashing him all over his face. He subconsciously closed his eyes, before closing them. I vaguely saw a spear stabbing at me, and I couldn't help but be shocked.

Wei Ba has been practicing martial arts for nearly two years, but he has never personally fought in battle, especially cavalry charges. He was the first time. It was also the first time to slash an enemy with his own hands, and when he was splashed with the enemy's blood, he instinctively closed his eyes. But I forgot that I couldn't close my eyes at all at this time. Even one negligence can kill you.

Of course he knew this, but when it came to the end, he instinctively closed his eyes to block the blood, and by the time he realized that it was a mistake, the enemy's spear had already pierced in front of him.

Fortunately, there is a master like Atsutakeshi by his side. Dunwu knew that Wei Ba was going into battle for the first time, and it was inevitable that he would make some mistakes, so he kept an eye on the enemy in front of Wei Ba. Seeing that the enemy's spear was approaching, but Wei Ba's war knife was not blocked, he immediately knew that Wei Ba was in danger. Without saying a word, the war knife in his hand slashed diagonally, slashing at the spearhead, chopping the spear crookedly, and then the war knife swept along the handle of the spear, cutting the knight's neck.

"Young master, be careful!" Dunwu shouted loudly while blocking in front of Wei Ba and galloping on his horse.

Wei Ba was embarrassed, his face was flushed, but fortunately, the blood on his face could not be seen by others. He raised his sleeve, wiped the blood on his eyes, kicked the war horse violently, accelerated again, raised the war knife in his hand, and shouted: "Accelerate, charge-"

"Accelerate, charge—" The knights responded violently, urging the war horses again, and more than a hundred war horses lined up in two columns, like a sharp long sword, stabbed towards the Wei army camp like a bamboo.

Wei Jun didn't expect Wei Ba to come so quickly, let alone that Wei Ba would have more than 100 cavalry, and these cavalry were so strong that they could release the reins of their horses with both hands and gallop their horses. The left crossbow and the right knife were unstoppable, and he was caught off guard by all of a sudden. Maybe it was negligence on the part of underestimating the enemy, maybe it was the sluggishness of reflexes due to exhaustion, or maybe both, when Wei Ba rushed into their formation, they couldn't even add up their speed, and although they were on a warhorse, they were no different from foot soldiers.

It's even worse than a foot soldier.

Wei Ba rushed forward with more than a hundred elite horsemen, leaving a bloody path behind him, and countless Wei knights were shot, hacked to death, knocked to the ground, and then trampled by war horses. Even if they were not injured, the prospects were still not good, and the eight hundred Wei family soldiers swarmed in, like mercury, and quickly exchanged hands with those Wei knights who were panicked and did not know what to do.

The Wei knights fought back on their death, and their formation was half divided into two by Wei Ba and others, and their morale was severely damaged, but they refused to give up. Some jumped off the war horse and fought with the Wei family soldiers, and some urged the war horses to start running as much as possible to form an impact formation, but if they couldn't do it, they also waved their war knives and drove the war horses to play in circles, and started hand-to-hand combat with the Wei family soldiers who rushed to the front.

The cavalry that lost their speed were not even as good as foot soldiers, not to mention that they were facing the Wei family's military pawns who had practiced hellish training since childhood. Although the knights of the Wei army were brave and tenacious, they gradually fell behind under the attack of the Wei family's soldiers.

The shouts of killing in the camp shook the sky, and Wei Ba led more than a hundred knights to clash back and forth, killing those knights who tried to reorganize the formation one by one. Outside the camp, Ma Cao and others finally arrived, and they flocked into the camp and fought in the battle circle.

Ma Cao danced his Qimen blade with both hands, like the arrival of Erlang Shenjun, and rushed forward unstoppably. Where the three-pointed two-edged knife rises and falls, one person will die, and the snowy blade is soon covered with blood, and Ma Cao's face is also full of bright red bloodstains, which looks amazing. Compared with the murderous horse exercise, Geng Ping seemed more calm, he had always been in the middle of the trilogy, tightly guarded by the subordinates, and the war knife in his hand was not even stained with blood, but he was constantly adjusting the direction of the attack. There was not a drop of blood on his face, only indifference.
