Chapter 705: Fierce General Before the Battle
Five hundred warriors are like a huge grinding plate, and a hundred long knives and heavy armor are sharp blades, when opened, it is a ghost gate with no entry or exit, and when it is closed, it is an impassable dam. As soon as it opened and closed, thirty or forty soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion were swept up, and they were swept up by a whirlpool, and under the squeeze of the grinding plate, they slowly turned into small whirlpools, and then slowly dissipated.
In a few back and forth, the first hundred-man team that rushed out with Wen Qin had disappeared, and the first charge of the Wuwei battalion was met with a head-on attack, not only losing more than a hundred warriors, but even the commander Wen Qin was trapped in the formation.
His battle flag was still there, and his roar could be faintly heard, but no one dared to rush up to save him easily.
Every soldier of the Wuwei Battalion has understood that these Wei family soldiers in front of them are by no means weak, they have the strength to compete with them for the title of the strongest infantry in the world, and to some extent, they even have an advantage over the Wuwei Battalion.
For example, the hundred tall armorers who are like door gods.
This is not a battle of bullying the weak at all, but a close fight.
Xu Ding rang the golden gong in time, and the crisp sound of the gong sounded over the battlefield, piercing the shouting of killing that filled the eardrums, and when every soldier of the Wuwei Battalion who was fighting woke up from the frenzy of bloody battle, the soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion had lost more than 100 people.
And Wen Qin was still trapped in the formation, unable to get out.
Xu Ding's face turned pale, and in his memory, this was the first time since the establishment of the Wuwei Battalion that he had retreated without victory, and he was forced to retreat after suffering heavy losses. This is undoubtedly a shame in the history of the Wuwei Battalion. A shame that has never been felt before. He didn't want to be the first person, but he had to do it, otherwise the five hundred soldiers of the Martial Guard Battalion would probably be killed by the other party.
Of course, there are reasons for Wen Qin's recklessness and impulsiveness, but Xu Ding has been fighting for many years and has a good eye, so he has seen more things and realized what the problem is.
Obviously, Wei Ba was very familiar with the tactics of the Wuwei Battalion and had made full preparations. However, they were very unfamiliar with the tactics of the Wei family's military soldiers, and they were so unfamiliar that they were ignorant. Knowing one's own situation and that of the enemy. in order to survive a hundred battles. Their arrogance and negligence have created today's passive situation.
Xu Ding regretted it. In this regard, he has a great responsibility. Of the three of them, he was directly confronted by the soldiers. In Fancheng. He once repelled Wei Feng's attack. At that time, Wei Feng led the Wei family's military soldiers. In his impression, although the Wei family's military soldiers can be regarded as elite, they are compared with the Wuwei battalion. There are still a lot of gaps. It is based on this point of view that he will support and even instigate Cao Yu and Wei Ba to fight a decisive battle.
But he didn't know that there was such a strong heavy armor warrior in the Wei family's martial arts. These heavy armor soldiers cooperate tacitly and have tough tactics, of course, they are not temporarily formed, if they put more effort into it, they should be able to know this information and not suffer such a serious blow.
When Xu Ding regretted it, Chen Tai also regretted it. Although he did not have the experience of fighting head-on with the Wei family's soldiers like Xu Ding, he had been in Tongguan for so long and had heard of the Wei family's combat effectiveness, but he had never seen the hundred armorers standing in front of the formation. And the biggest winner or loser in this battle was these hundred armor soldiers, who blocked the attack of the Wuwei battalion and controlled the rhythm of the battle. If he had known earlier that there were such strong warriors among the Wei family's martial guards, he would not have agreed to this contest.
But now it's too late. The two sides have already fought a bloody battle, which ended in a crushing defeat for the Wuwei battalion. Do you continue to fight and use the flesh and blood of the soldiers of the Armed Guard Battalion to consume the physical strength of those armor soldiers, or do you retreat and wait until you find a suitable way to fight again?
In an instant, the same question swirled in the minds of Cao Yu, Chen Tai and Xu Ding.
But they found that neither option was good enough.
Retreating is not conducive to admitting defeat and is a heavy blow to the morale of the Wuwei battalion. If we can't quickly find a way to defeat the enemy, this psychological shadow will continue to expand, and Zuihou will even affect the morale of the entire Wei army.
The attack, as you can imagine, will definitely have to pay huge casualties, and it is even possible to fill up the 2,000 armed guard battalions. Is it affordable to pay such a heavy price? You must know that the Wei family's military pawns are only the Wei brothers' troops, and the Wuwei battalion is the pro-army of the Wei emperor, if it can't win a big victory as expected, even if it is drawn, it will be a big blow to the morale of the Wei army.
On the battlefield, there was a dead silence on the Wei army's position, and Cao Yu and the three of them were caught in a difficult choice.
As soon as Wei Ba heard that Xu Dingming had withdrawn his troops, he guessed their psychology, where would he give them time to think calmly.
"Drums, cheers!"
"Whoa." The herald, who was thrilled to see it, finally remembered his duty, waved the colored flag, and gave the order.
Hearing the passionate war drums, the soldiers of the Wei family who had not participated in the battle were excited, and shouted in unison: "Fight!" War! War! The neat angry shouts were like thunder, which made the Wei family soldiers in front of the battle enthusiastic and high-spirited, but it made the Wei army feel infinite shame.
When Wei Wu heard the sound of war drums, he immediately woke up from his excitement, and Wei Ba told him to not only fight hard, but also pay attention to the key role of his commander. At this moment, he realized that he could not bask in the victory just now, and he had to further provoke the anger of the Wei army, make them lose their minds, and not make them think calmly.
"Come on, cut off the heads of all the Wei troops." Wei Wu shouted in a deep voice, turned around and pointed: "Take this shaft down, you want to live." ”
"Whoa!" Wang Hui was excited, and stepped forward with thirty heavy armor soldiers, and couldn't help but say something, and surrounded Wen Qin. Wen Qin fought for a long time, watching one companion after another being killed by the enemy, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break through the encirclement, seeing that his life was broken, he was anxious, angry, and close to madness. He only knew how to swing a knife and slash, but he had no rules, and only a breath of anger was left to support his body.
In the face of thirty heavily armored soldiers, although Wen Qin tried his best, there was still no way to win. Wang Hui seized the opportunity and shot down the war knife in Wen Qin's hand with a single sword, and then the two heavy armor soldiers rushed over and pinned Wen Qin to the ground. The weight of the two strong men, coupled with two sets of heavy battle armor, even if Wen Qin was brave, he couldn't support it, and he was knocked down to the dust and tied into zongzi.
On that side, the soldiers raised their swords and cut off the heads of more than 100 soldiers of the Armed Guard Battalion who died in front of the battle and sent them back to the position. Wei Ba immediately asked people to insert these heads into the spear tips and erect them.
More than 100 heads, more than 100 pairs of dead eyes.
At the same time, Wei Ba ordered people to set fire to the battle flag of the Wuwei Battalion, and the raging flames licked the battle flag, and the battle flag quickly burned and turned into ashes.
The soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion on the opposite side were so angry that they gritted their teeth and cracked their eyes, since the establishment of the Wuwei Battalion, they had never been insulted like this. They seemed to see more than a hundred pairs of dead robes looking at them, and they seemed to be scorched by the fire of the battle flag, and they couldn't calm down at all, they just wanted to fight. Only by cutting off the heads of these Wei family warriors and cutting off the heads of the Wei family brothers can this great shame be swept away first.
"General, let's fight!" A soldier of the Armed Guard Battalion shouted with red eyes.
"General, fight to the death!" Another soldier of the armed guard battalion raised his sword and gritted his teeth and shouted for orders.
Xu Ding's teeth were clenched, his big hands were clenched into fists, and his gray beard was windless. Now, like those soldiers of the Wuwei battalion, he can't wait to rush forward and hack Wei Ba to death, and all the soldiers to relieve the evil in his heart. However, after all, he is a veteran who has led the army for many years, and he knows that he can't be angry at this time, otherwise the loss will be even greater.
However, let him retreat, he was not reconciled. He had no choice but to raise the banner and ask Cao Rui for orders.
When Xu Ding made a request, Wei Wu suddenly sang loudly: "Wuwei Wuwei, it's not embarrassing." Under the fame, it is actually difficult to deserve. The momentum is like a tiger, soft as a rabbit. One battle is embarrassed, and then the wolf Gu is fighting. ”
These are all taught by Wei Ba in advance, and every soldier can sing it, but at that time, all the soldiers felt that it was used to boost morale, but they never thought that today these have become living facts, and they chanted loudly one by one, full of ridicule of the Wuwei battalion.
Xu Ding was so angry that he was panting like a cow and roared in a low voice.
After a while, Wei Wu sang loudly again: "King Yan Yan Wang, it's ridiculous. After a battle, I didn't think about it. If you have no plan to fight again, it is better to return home. Aunt blessed, without losing the high hall. ”
When the Wei family's martial arts heard these words, they immediately burst into a daxiao. Everyone knows that Cao Yu, the king of Yan, was once captured by Wei Basheng, but because his wife was the seventh aunt of the Heavenly Master Dao, Wei Ba let him go. Now that Cao Yu has been defeated by Wei Ba again, he should indeed go back to accompany his wife and lie in the high hall, and he should not appear on the battlefield again.
The warriors laughed and sang along. When Cao Yu heard this, his face immediately turned red. The reason why he wanted to fight with Wei Ba was to regain his dignity, but he didn't expect to be humiliated by Wei Ba again, and in front of all the soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, in front of Chen Tai and Xu Ding, if he didn't get back this face, how would he gain a foothold in the court in the future?
"Charge, kill them!" Cao Yu hissed and roared.
Chen Tai was shocked and hurriedly stopped: "King, don't!" ”
Cao Yu was extremely angry, where was he willing to listen to him, shook off Chen Tai's arm, and shouted: "Pass my order, the Wuwei battalion will attack head-on, and the tiger and leopard will outflank it, and you must completely annihilate these warriors and teach Wei Ba a lesson." ”
As soon as the war drums sounded, Xu Ding, who had already been so angry, raised his war knife and roared sharply: "Kill-"
The soldiers of the Wuwei battalion rushed out wildly, and not only those brought by Wen Qin rushed out, but the three five hundred people phalanx behind also dispatched the whole army. In the distance, the tiger and leopard rode a horse and flew a whip, galloped out of the formation, rolled up a wild flutter, and went straight to the flank of the Wei family's military guards.
Wei Ba hahadaxiao.
Chen Tai was anxious, desperately grabbed Cao Yu's reins and persuaded him bitterly.
Cao Yu was unmoved
