Chapter 179: Cao Zhi's Scheme

Wu Yichu followed Liu Yan into Shu, and Liu Zhang was the general of Zhonglang at that time. Liu Bei attacked Liu Zhang, Wu Yi surrendered to Liu Bei, successively served as a rebellious general, a protector, and a governor of Guanzhong, and also married his sister to Liu Bei, as the backbone of the Yizhou faction of the Shu Han Dynasty, and won Liu Bei's respect.

He has accompanied Zhuge Liang on the Northern Expedition many times, and together with Wei Yan, he broke the Wei generals Guo Huai and Fei Yao in Yangxi, promoted to General Zuo, and entered the Gaoyang Township.

Among the Shu Han Dynasty, known as prestige, generals such as Liao Hua and Fu Yi still respect Wu Yi very much.

However, Ou He Yaoge and Pan Ping are military generals who grew up with Jiang Wei, although they admire and trust Jiang Wei very much, but they only respect Wu Yi as a Shangguan, and have no other friendship.

So as soon as the war started, Oh He Yaoge completely let himself go, and without Wu Yi's permission, he took the lead in launching a charge, and then chased after Qiangrui's cavalry.

Oh He Yaoge wanted to eat Qiangrui's part outside the city of Wudu, and Qiangrui's Diren was also a man who had learned bow horses since childhood, and his equestrian mastery was not inferior to Qiang riding, and when he saw that there were tens of thousands of Qiang horses chasing behind him, he ran desperately for his life.

Jonry led the army of Oh Ho to gallop non-stop. Running and running, Liao Hua felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly galloped his horse, caught up with Oh He Yaoge, and said to him:

"General Oh He Yaoge, I think there is something wrong with this pursuit line, why are you chasing and chasing, and it is getting farther and farther away from Wudu City?"

Oh He Yaoge said: "It must be that Qiangrui is worried that Cao Zhi will not open the city gate, so he plans to make a detour and escape away, hey, General Liao, what do we care about so much, let's eat Qiangrui's army first." ”

Liao Hua said: "But if we keep chasing like this, our army will already be out of touch with the infantry, what if there is a good one?" ”

He Yaoge said nonchalantly: "Lord Wu Tingshi must have a way to defend against the enemy, and besides, the defense capability of the White Ear Army, General Ben is very clear, as long as a close formation is formed, no one can beat it." If you really don't feel at ease, you can take your 5,000 Qiang cavalry back to protect the infantry array, and I still have to continue to pursue Qiangrui while I am left to ride. ”

Liao Hua saw that Oh He Yaoge's will to pursue Qiangrui was very resolute, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to convince him, so he had to say: "Okay, then I will lead the army back first, your more than 10,000 Qiang horsemen, chasing Qiangrui 3,000 people, must be more than enough, I am waiting for the good news of your victorious return." ”

He Yaoge also bowed his hand to Liao Hua and said: "Old General Liao, wait for my good news!" ”

Immediately, he continued the pursuit with his soldiers and horses without looking back, and Liao Hua ordered his troops to quickly return to the infantry formation of the Shu army in case of accidents.

But at this moment, the infantry of the Shu army, where is there any big array, has completely run away, running in the front is Zhang Xu's Wudang Flying Army, because it is a light infantry that is good at mountain warfare, the Wudang Flying Army marched in the valley outside Wudu City, the speed was exceptionally fast, but after all, two legs still couldn't run four legs, and gradually lost the cavalry.

A little slower than the Wudang Flying Army is the three thousand Wu soldiers under the command of Pan Ping, these three thousand people have been in good gear since they joined the Han Army, and now they are getting better and better, directly from leather armor to iron armor, and the improvement of equipment has also led to the increase in weight, although it is far less heavy than the iron armor of the Qilin Army, but there are also more than ten catties of iron armor. Therefore, the speed is slightly slower.

And the last one was the white ear army with long spears and heavy shields, they not only wore their own armor, but also marched with heavy spears and heavy shields, which were slower than Pan Ping's Wu soldiers.

As a result, the infantry of the entire Shu army has become seriously disjointed and turned into three troops.

The most important thing is that these three troops have lost their direction, obviously Wudu City is in the east, but the cavalry is going north, resulting in Zhang Xu, who is at the forefront, not knowing whether to continue to attack Wudu City in the east, or go north to join the cavalry.

Zhang Xue was a little confused, after thinking for a long time, he planned to ignore the cavalry, first go east to Wudu City to hide, and wait for the follow-up Yongzhou Assassin Wu Yi to arrive, and then make plans, after all, the destination of this battle is Wudu City, Wu Yi will definitely come to Wudu City, at this moment Wu Yi is in the Bai'er Army, and he has to wait for a while.

So Zhang Xue led the army to the outside of Wudu City, and immediately ordered the soldiers to hide in the dense forest outside Wudu City.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he wanted to enter the dense forest, a large number of arrows were shot in the dense forest.

"Oops, there's an ambush!" Zhang Xue was shocked, he didn't expect to be ambushed.

In the past, when he fought with Jiang Wei, he always ambushed others by himself, and when he was ambushed by others, Zhang Xue ordered:

"Soldiers, there is an ambush for the Wei army here, we can't stay for a long time, we quickly retreat westward, and strive to join up with Pan Ping and Fu Yi as soon as possible."

Immediately, Zhang Xue led the soldiers and bravely tried to break through to the west, but the Wei army that surrounded him was obviously much more than he expected, at least more than 6,000 people, which was comparable to his own strength, and it seemed that the Wei army had already planned it.

The Wudang Fei Army under Zhang Xue is all light infantry and is good at mountain warfare, but as light infantry, in order to ensure the speed of the march, the armor is sacrificed, and basically there is only a piece of leather armor, and the equipment level is worse than that of the Wu soldiers, and it is difficult to resist the rain of arrows of the Wei army.

So Zhang Xue had no choice but to charge at the Wei army that was surging, and mixed with the Wei army, thus forcing the Wei army to give up shooting.

When the killing sound of Zhang Xue's department shook the sky, Pan Ping also heard the shouting of killing in front of him, thinking that he had caught up with Qiangrui and was strangling Qiangrui, so he said to the three thousand Wu soldiers under his command:

"General Oh He Yaoge in front has already caught up with the Wei army, brothers, run faster, people eat meat in front, if we slow down, the soup won't be drunk, all fucking cheer me up and speed up the march!"

"Yes!" The three thousand Wu troops were inspired by Pan Ping, and all of them longed to have a pair of wings so that they could hurry to the battlefield to pick up the leak.

Who expected that when they arrived at a valley, suddenly a cannon sounded, and a large number of Wei troops poured out on both sides of the valley, and the Wei army shot arrows at the Wu soldiers in the valley.

After all, Pan Ping has been in battle for a long time, and he was the first to react, and he shouted loudly:

"What's the panic? Isn't it an enemy attack? Formation defense, hurry! Fast! Formation! ”

The Wu soldiers of Pan Ping's department, all of them have iron helmets and iron armor, although they are not fully armored, but their defense against the loss of the bow is obviously much better than that of the Wudang Flying Army, and there are still a lot of sword and shield hands in the army.

Pan Ping commanded the army to defend against the rain of arrows, while quickly calculating the number of Wei troops, the Wei army saw that after Pan Ping's army formed a shield array, the damage caused by bows and arrows was limited, so they fought out of the front one after another, Pan Ping took the opportunity to calculate, the enemy army besieging him, about 4,000 people, suddenly felt a lot more relieved.

So he shouted loudly: "Brothers, the number of enemy troops is about the same as ours, it's time to show the true strength of our Jiangdong boys, follow me, kill!" ”

He shouted loudly, and all the Wu soldiers shouted and shouted after him, facing the Wei army.

And when Zhang Xue and Pan Ping were both caught in hand-to-hand combat, Wu Yi and Fu Yi were still desperately hurrying with two thousand Baier troops.

The White-Eared Army marched too slowly, and they didn't dare to abandon any equipment, after all, this was the foundation of their lives. Hearing the shouts of killing in front of him, Wu Yi's heart became more and more panicked, and he was most worried that his army would be surrounded and killed by the Wei army.

Just when he was anxious, suddenly a large number of Wei troops poured out from both sides of the road ahead, and the Wei army formed a tight sword and shield formation, blocking Wu Yi's way, and then a large number of Wei troops also poured out on both sides, and began to shoot arrows at the Baier army.

In the large array of the Wei army, a young man in a white robe stood proudly on his horse, and a large banner with the word "Cao" fluttered in the wind behind him.
