Looking at the scuffle in the field, Sima Shi was stunned, and the knights who witnessed all this were also stunned.

They all knew that the cavalry's entry into the ridge would have an impact, but they didn't expect Wei Ba to attack at this time. There is a big gap between the strength of the two sides, Wei Ba can form a formation and defend himself, how can he still divide his troops to intercept? Five hundred cavalry, even if they can't gallop between the ridges and can't exert their maximum power, they are not a liliang that can be ignored. Even if Wei Ba's entire army was exhausted, it would take a lot of time to besiege these five hundred cavalry.

Isn't he afraid that Sima Shi will take advantage of this opportunity to attack his own formation?

No one expected this result, just as no one expected that the attack of these Shu Han troops would be so rapid, and before they could react as they should, the outcome was decided. Looking at the Shu army foot soldiers who chased the Wei army knights to an embarrassment, almost the first person had such a question in his heart.

If the Shu army is so brave, they will give up the important town of Wuguan?

Sima Shi was shocked. This was the first time he had seen the powerful attack power of the Wei family's martial guards, and he finally understood what kind of enemy he was facing.

This is a formidable enemy, this is an even more insidious enemy, this is a vile to shameless enemy. The Wuguan offensive line was fought so fiercely, he held the sharpest war knife in his hand, but he had been hiding behind Deng Zhi, and now he was still using Deng Zhi as a bait, but he himself was hiding in the dark, and he frequently used black hands.

Outside Shangxian County, he attacked a thousand elite cavalry, and now in front of him, he slaughtered Liang Ji and five hundred elite cavalry in the ridges.

Sima Shi was still a little puzzled, but now he understood that it was entirely possible to attack a thousand exhausted elite cavalry with such a strong foot soldier, as long as the fighter was properly chosen. He believed even more that with Wei Ba's insidiousness, and with his ability to capture the fighter under Fangling City, he would be caught off guard by the 1,000 elite horsemen. It wasn't an accident at all, it was a deliberate ploy.

Sima Shi thought of the night attack that had been noisy all night before, and his heart was mixed.

He knows. After two defeats in the Battle of Fangling and the Battle of Danshui, he will once again be defeated at the hands of Wei Ba. He still has a thousand elite horsemen in his hand, but these thousand people have been galloping for a day in a row, and they have just fought a vicious battle with Deng Zhi. Now that they were watching Liang Ji and the five hundred elite cavalry being slaughtered, their morale had fallen to the point of no return.

He originally wanted to block Wei Ba's way, but now it seems. In fact, it was Wei Ba who blocked his retreat. He didn't know if Deng Zhi had rushed back, and he didn't know if there were more foot soldiers behind Wei Ba.

My father was still two hundred miles away, and even if he had already set out from Wuguan, with a daily journey of thirty or forty miles, he was now at least one hundred and fifty miles away from him.

Sima Shi felt that there was some darkness in front of him, and he suddenly realized. It's getting late. And the night is when Wei Ba is the happiest. Last night, Wei Ba tossed outside his camp for half the night, tossing a thousand elite horsemen to exhaustion, and Zuihou swallowed them in one gulp. There was a big battalion that still couldn't stop him, and there was no big battalion to protect him. What will be the result?

Sima Shi didn't dare to think about it. Looking at the heavier and heavier mountain shadows, he couldn't help but shudder.

I had to leave as soon as possible.

Although Sima Shi's heart was on fire, he still controlled his emotions and did not lose his temper. With a wave of his hand, he gave the order to retreat. Although the cavalry did not understand his intentions, they obeyed the order, turned their horses in front of them, and slowly retreated backwards. After Sima Shi personally broke off, he followed Zuihou with the most elite three hundred personal guards. Looking at Wei Ba who stood up from the tree formation, he clenched his teeth, eager to tear off a piece of Wei Ba's flesh.

It was too far away for him to see Wei Ba's face clearly, but the name Wei Ba was deeply engraved in his heart.

Wei Ba crossed his waist and looked at Sima Shi who was slowly retreating, and smiled bitterly. Sima Shi's retreat was not a sign of weakness, on the contrary, it was just a temporary retreat before a strong counterattack, in order to accumulate energy.

Liang Ji was annihilated, Jihua, who was attacked from both sides, failed, and there were only two ways in front of Sima Shi, either to attack or temporarily retreat. Attacking is not a rational approach, after witnessing the strong combat effectiveness of the Wei family's martial arts, if Sima Shi still wants to attack, it will be in his arms, and he is sure enough to keep Sima Shi here. However, Sima Shi retreated, and after retreating to a safe distance, he gave him a problem.

Catch up? The tree array was useless. It was impossible for Sima Shi to give him time to cut down trees and set up a formation, so he could only rely on the more than 800 people under his command to fight Sima Shi. Sima Shi still has a thousand fine horsemen, and he is on a solid gallop road, once he rushes to kill, these warriors who have just stepped on horseback and become cavalry may not be opponents. If you use foot soldiers to face the battle, not to mention whether you can catch up, even if you catch up, what advantages can you have? Although the warrior is strong, he is not a machine warrior, let alone a terminator, and can defeat the same number of cavalry head-on.

Sima Shi may be willing to give the lives of hundreds of soldiers in exchange for a miserable victory, but he is reluctant.

Chasing, not a good idea. But not chasing it doesn't seem like a good idea either.

As soon as Sima Shi retreated, Wei Ba was also a little helpless. He was very aware of his situation, and the longer he waited, the worse it would be for him. Sima Yi could come at any time, and at that time, he still couldn't escape the danger of being attacked from both sides.

"Send someone to see, the horses and they can't keep up." Wei Ba scratched his head and added: "Send scouts from afar, see where Sima Yi's army is." If you encounter a scout of the Wei army on the way, you will not be killed. ”

"Whoa." A few soldiers answered, turned and left. Now Wei Ba has a large number of war horses, and it is not a problem for scouts to use horses at all, in order to save horsepower and ensure speed, Wei Ba has equipped them with two war horses.

"Atsutake, what do you think we should do now?" Wei Ba called Dun Wu and a few soldiers to him and asked them for advice. At the beginning, my father gave him twenty soldiers, and Mrs. Zhang gave him another twenty, and these forty soldiers were his original team. Now Zhu Yi is stationed in Yiwu, Tang Qianyu has brought twenty soldiers to follow Zhao Yun to learn cavalry warfare, and is guarding against Cao Zhen in Pubanjin, while Chen Xiang is stationed in Tongguan with his father, and there are only twenty soldiers left around him.

"Young master, I think we should catch up." The little warrior Wei Xing scratched his head and said a little unconfidently: "Our number is about the same as that dead horse, and we can completely defeat them." ”

"Nonsense!" Dunwu knocked him with a brain crash with a "snap". "You've only been on a horse for a few days, and you're able to hedge against people? Do you think that riding a war horse is a cavalry? ”

Wei Xing's face flushed. Unconvinced, he said, "How do they know that we just got on the horse?" Maybe you'll be scared away. ”

"In war, you can't expect to scare the enemy away." Wei Ba smiled bitterly and shook his head. Wei Xing was still young, and he had just entered the battle battle. He didn't know the danger of the battle formation, and his mind was full of stories he had heard from veterans about winning more with less. He didn't know that any oddity had to be based on the positive.

"Young master, what he said is not unreasonable. Instead of waiting here, take the plunge. Dun Wu thought as he said, "Although the soldiers are not real cavalry. But with the help of stirrups and crossbows, we may not lose to him. ”

"No, I can't. It's too risky. Even if he is lucky, the casualties will be relatively large, and more importantly, I don't believe that Sima Shi will retreat without a fight. Wei Ba's eyebrows frowned, thinking back to what Master Sima had done in the past half a month, he clearly felt that the father and son's minds were very stoic, and they were almost cruel. Sima Yi attacked Wuguan. In just five or six days, the casualties were close to 20,000, and this ruthlessness is not something that ordinary people can do. There is a father and there is a son, and he believes that Sima Shi is not a person who gives up easily. If you want to be opportunistic in front of them, you are likely to steal chickens and rice.

And their own rice is obviously not much.

Wei Ba had a headache.

It was getting dark. The shadows of the trees grew deeper and deeper, merging with the mountains in the distance. Not far away, the Danshui was rumbling, tirelessly flowing eastward. Wei Ba's heart was rushing like Danshui, and one idea after another popped up, and then he vetoed them one after another. The soldiers were still talking about it, but they thought about it, and there was no more good way than to storm and hold on to the spot.

Gradually, there was no interest in discussing it. Someone started a fire, took some water from the Danshui next to him to boil, took out the dry food and began to eat. Many people were busy all night yesterday, and today they walked for another day, no matter how strong they are, they feel a little tired, and there may be a tough battle to fight next, so it is still very necessary to seize the time to replenish their physical strength.

Wei Ba munched on the dough with dried meat while pondering. The dough cakes of this year are all unfermented cakes, which are resistant to storage, but the taste is also very poor, so hard that they can cut people, and they have been put for a long time, and they are very uncomfortable to eat in the mouth. However, none of the soldiers complained, and in times of war, it was great luck to be able to eat well.

Wei Xing came over with a helmet of water: "Young master, drink some hot water, it's easier to swallow." ”

"Okay." Wei Ba took the helmet and took a sip of the freshly boiled water. The helmet was worn for a few days, and although it was washed and washed, the smell of oil on the head was still very strong. However, he has been in the army for so long and is used to this taste, and when he drank it for the first time, he almost vomited.

"Young master, let's go to the night attack like yesterday, right?" Wei Xing hugged his legs, squatted beside Wei Ba, and said cautiously: "At night, those Wei troops are not our opponents. ”

Wei Ba glanced at Wei Xing's immature little face, and his heart suddenly moved. He thought for a moment and said, "But we're tired too. ”

"We're tired, and they're even more tired." Seeing that Wei Ba didn't reprimand him, Wei Xing's interest increased, and he moved closer to Wei Ba: "Young master, do you want to." In terms of being able to endure hardships, who can endure hardships better than our Wei family warriors? We didn't sleep for two nights, nothing happened, and now that it was just dark, we could rest for two or three hours, and when it was almost dawn tomorrow, we would attack them again, and we would definitely be able to catch them. ”
