Jiang Wei saw that Guan Yinping had used "soul magic" to capture Wen Yuan, and finally solved this super general in the Wei army, so he quickly ordered his corporal to tie up Wen Yuan's five flowers and escort him to the rear army to be detained.

Then he said with a smile: "Yinmei, you have made a great achievement!" ”

Unexpectedly, Guan Yinping suddenly threw a big-eared scraper.

Jiang Wei was strong in martial arts, reacted well, steadily caught Guan Yinping's hand, and hurriedly asked:

"Yinmei, what do you mean by this?"

"Humph! Are you too embarrassed to ask me? You are a big pig's trotter, in front of the whole army, and you actually kissed the Wenyuan girl! Guan Yinping's face was full of vinegar.

"Yinmei, listen to my explanation, didn't you say that your soul dementorship is almost ineffective against people with extremely strong will? This Wen Yuan is obviously a warrior with a strong will, if it weren't for your husband and I being in a hurry, self-sacrificing, sacrificing my small family for everyone, and disturbing Wen Yuan's mind with kisses, do you think we can capture this Cao Wei Mengjiang? ”

"You! ......" Guan Yinping was full of anger, but he felt that Jiang Wei was very reasonable, so he said angrily: "Hmph! The enemy is now, I won't tell you! ”

Jiang Wei hurriedly smiled and said to Guan Yinping: "Sister Yin, don't get me wrong, everything you do is for my army to win, for my Han to be able to prosper, this sincerity can show the sun and the moon!" ”

Guan Yinping was too lazy to talk to Jiang Wei anymore, so he turned his head and stopped talking to Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei said with a smile: "Yinmei, don't worry, when our army defeats the strong enemy, General Ben will definitely reward you tonight!" ”

Guan Yinping's face was flushed with shame suddenly, and he didn't pay attention to Jiang Wei, and hurriedly beat the horse away from Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei put away his cynical face at this time, and looked coldly at the Wei army formation that had been lined up in front of him, only to see that in the big array, a big banner with the word "Deng" was waving in the wind, which was particularly eye-catching.

Jiang Wei thought to himself, "Deng Ai, right? My mortal enemy, isn't it? I'm going to have a good time with you today! ”

So he also began to arrange his troops.

Deng Ai's military formation was a typical mixed three-column formation of infantry and cavalry, with sword and shield soldiers in the front row, crossbowmen in the second row, pikemen in the third row, and cavalry on the left and right flanks.

Infantry is the mainstay, cavalry is supplemented, both offensive and defensive.

And Jiang Wei's troops, the types of troops are not as complete as Deng Ai, there is no heavy cavalry suitable for charging into battle, originally Liangzhou Thorn Mansion has a Liangzhou iron cavalry that is good at charging into battle, but at this time it has been sent by Jiang Wei to attack Wuwei.

Jiang Wei's current main force is 10,000 Hun cavalry, and the characteristic of the Hun cavalry is that they are good at riding and shooting, rather than charging into battle.

In addition to 10,000 Hun cavalry, there are also 2,000 Qilin Army hoplites, this infantry can be regarded as both offensive and defensive, but the weakness is slow movement, if it is just a defensive battle, Jiang Wei is very confident that he can pass the classic tactics similar to the Mongols.

Lure the enemy cavalry to attack, then shoot arrows as you retreat to consume the enemy.

But today is different, today's goal is to rescue Longxi City, and he needs to fight an offensive battle, and he must cross Deng Ai's army in order to effectively rescue Longxi City.

On the other hand, Deng Ai not only has more troops than himself, but also has a complete range of troops, the most important thing is that Deng Ai can stick to the defensive battle, there is no need to take the initiative to attack Jiang Wei, just drag Jiang Wei.

On the way to the rescue, Jiang Wei had actually expected that he might encounter such a situation, otherwise he would not have come without Liangzhou Tieqi. Since he dared to bring only 12,000 people to rescue Longxi, he naturally thought of a way to break the enemy.

His plan of attack was to adopt a completely new method of warfare. It was the "Parthian method of warfare" that was widely adopted by nomads later.

The "Parthian method of warfare", in short, is the tactics of the cooperation of archers and hoplites, first using archers to constantly harass the enemy, and when there is a hole in the enemy's line, they use heavy cavalry to concentrate on charging and tearing the enemy's line.

This tactic originated with the Parthians in Central Asia, who used this tactic to defeat the Roman army led by Crassus, one of the famous "former triumvirate" of the Roman Empire, at the Battle of Carais. It broke the myth of the invincibility of the Roman legions in the world, and created a miracle of cavalry winning more with less.

Later, this tactic was widely adopted by the main steppe peoples, both the Jurchens and the Mongols, who learned and mastered this tactic.

The Jurchens used this tactic to fight against the heavily armored Song army, invincible, and the Song Dynasty history recorded, "Yi Di used troops, each bow and cavalry violently gathered, biased to attack the large array, and one side could not defend it, then there was a danger of rushing." That's the tactic.

Although there is no heavy cavalry under Jiang Wei, the two armies are not far apart, and the Qilin Army under his command, Jiang Wei is confident, and it is the absolute peak of infantry in this era.

So he said to Liu Bao and Guan Yinping:

"Liu Bao and Guan Yinping, let you each lead two thousand Hun archers and cavalry to attack the two wings of Deng Ai's department, use a circle formation to attack and harass the enemy, and remember not to engage the Wei army in hand-to-hand combat."

"Yes!" The two took the order and left.

The circle formation is a formation taught by Jiang Wei to Liu Bao and Guan Yinping personally, and this formation is very suitable for archers, that is, when attacking the enemy, the troops run around a circle while running.

The cavalry archers can shoot arrows at the enemy's side, and then continue to rotate in circles, holding their bows and arrows on the enemy's back, so that through the rotational movement of the cavalry archers, the enemy in the circle can always shoot arrows and hit the enemy.

After the two of them took the order, they soon rushed to the two wings of Deng Ai's army, and began to set up a circle formation and shoot arrows at the cavalry on both wings of Deng Ai's army.

It didn't take long for the cavalry of Deng Ai's army to cover the infantry line on both flanks to begin to attack, forming a charging formation and charging towards the archers.

Seeing the Wei cavalry charging forward, Liu Bao and Guan Yinping ordered the dissolution of the circle formation, lured the enemy deeper, and led the enemy into the distance and away from the battlefield.

The Xiongnu archers, on the one hand, in order to improve mobility, on the other hand, were indeed limited by the limited level of equipment, so they often only wore leather armor, many people did not even have leather armor, the overall weight was far lower, and the speed of running was significantly higher than that of the Wei cavalry.

The cavalry of the Wei army pursued the Hun cavalry, but could not pursue, and in the process of pursuit, they would continue to recruit the bow and arrow of the Hun archers who were skilled in horsemanship and could immediately turn around and shoot arrows, leaving a place of corpses on the way to pursue.

Presumably, Deng Ai was afraid that the cavalry would pursue too far and cause the Wei army's large array to lose cover, so he hurriedly ordered the Wei cavalry to withdraw and retreat to their own formation.

In the process of retreating, the Hun cavalry of the Shu army was like a pack of hungry wolves, and they followed again, constantly shooting the cavalry of the Wei army along the way.

Jiang Wei called this process "kite flying"!

You can clearly see me, but you just can't beat me, this kind of taste, presumably Deng Ai must be uncomfortable.

After the Wei cavalry attacked, hundreds of cavalry had been lost back and forth, and Deng Ai couldn't stand it, so he ordered the Wei cavalry to attack again to drive away the Shu army's archers.

This time, the Wei army was menacing, and there was a great posture of not giving up if they did not kill and disperse this group of Hun cavalry, and the Hun cavalry of the Shu army received the order that they could only attack and disturb, and not fight, so they retreated one after another, leading the Wei army farther and farther.

Seeing that the cavalry on both flanks of the Wei army had left the battlefield, Jiang Wei immediately ordered the remaining 6,000 cavalry archers to attack the Wei army's infantry array, still attacking from both flanks, and waiting for an opportunity to detour behind the Wei army's formation to attack and harass.

Soon, the remaining 6,000 cavalry of the Shu army divided into two routes and began to attack the Wei infantry formation from the left and right flanks, and a few troops had even circled behind the Wei army's large array and began to shoot the pikemen of the Wei army's rear army.

The front army of the Wei army had sword and shield hands, and they were not very afraid of the archers, but the pikemen in the rear army were all one-sided, and when they encountered the archers, they were only one-sided.

Deng Ai saw that it was not a way to go on like this, so he reluctantly ordered:

"Beat the drums, strike!"
