Chapter 194: Confusion
The Wei army directly gave up hiding, and the war drums began to rumble in the Wei army's large array, and the Wei army with Yu Linwei as the core began to carry the bumping wood to attack the Shu army's camp.
With the order to attack Xiahou Xuan's whole army was issued, the situation that Xiahou Xuan was looking forward to seeing the Wei army was inspired to attack the Shu army camp with all its might, but it did not appear, but after the order was given, the Wei army was suddenly in chaos.
In addition to the 5,000 Lin Wei who was desperately attacking the Shu army camp, the other 20,000 troops all had a feeling of being played by Xiahou Xuan.
Not long ago, the Wei army tried a night attack, and the end of that time was the annihilation of the whole army, and these 20,000 people were not willing to follow Xiahou Xuan to mess around and take their lives in vain.
So some soldiers wanted to follow the generals under the encouragement of the drums, but some soldiers felt that they didn't see Guo Huai's command, and decided that Xiahou Xuan was blindly commanding, and desperately rushed towards the city gate, wanting to squeeze back to Tianshui City.
More Wei soldiers were at a loss, not knowing whether to attack or retreat.
Xiahou Xuan was suddenly furious, thinking that Guo Huai was simply a fool, what kind of stupid soldiers did he bring out? One by one, as if they couldn't even understand such a simple and clear military order, they were chaotic and systematic.
So he commanded in a loud voice:
"Whoever makes a loud noise, slash! Whoever breaks away from the front is killed! Those who retreat lightly are killed! Anyone who disturbs the morale of the army will be beheaded! ”
The military judges of Yu Linwei ordered to go down and suppress the chaotic Wei army.
Under the threat of death, the chaos on the Wei side calmed down a little, so the armies, led by the officers, began to attack the Shu army camp.
The camp of the Shu army was not strong, and a large area of the walled wall collapsed under the attack of the Wei army, and Yulinwei, who rushed to the front, had already entered the fortress of the Shu army.
Compared with Yu Linwei's high morale, the 20,000 Wei troops who followed behind were very cautious.
Many people want to lean back as much as possible, anyway, there is the elite of Yu Linwei attacking in front, and they are more of a cheer, and if they win, they will follow to pick up the leaks, and if they can't win, they will quickly retreat, and they will not be wiped out.
Unexpectedly, these people with their own small calculations had not had time to implement the plan in their hearts, and they heard the north gate of Tianshui City slam shut with a "boom".
Xiahou Xuan was proud in his heart, and the art of war was cloudy: "Put it in the place of death and be born!" "It is necessary to close the gate in order to inspire the determination of the Tianshui Wei army to attack the Shu army camp to the death.
But Xiahou Xuan's reaction was that the Wei soldiers suddenly showed a look of horror on their faces, and the Wei army, which was still in the attack queue, turned their heads to look in the direction of Tianshui City, with a look of fear and loss.
Xiahou Xuan thinks what's wrong with this group of Wei troops? Why are you so afraid of the Shu army, but there are also 25,000 Wei troops attacking tonight, and there are only 5,000 Shu troops, what is the way?
But soon, in the camp of the Shu army, a steady stream of soldiers began to pour out, all of these soldiers were heavily armored and holding long knives, and the heavy armor wrapped the whole body tightly, like an iron bucket. This group of soldiers obviously did not remove their armor when they slept, otherwise it would not have been possible to put on such heavy armor in such a short time.
As more and more heavily armored soldiers poured out, someone in the Wei army began to shout:
"It's the Qilin Army, it's the most elite Qilin Army of the Shu Army!"
The Yulin Guards don't know what the Qilin Army is, but the Yulin Guards have their own pride, and they are also a group of heavily armored infantry, although the thickness of the armor does not seem to be as exaggerated as the Qilin Army, but it is enough to be proud of the rest of the infantry.
So the Yulin guards, under the leadership of the generals, began to form a formation, preparing to charge the Qilin army.
Soon, however, many infantry poured out of the flanks, each of whom was very peculiar, each with an extra-long spear in his hand and a huge shield. These Shu soldiers with super long spears in their hands began to form on the two wings of the Qilin Army.
Many Wei troops were no strangers to this army, and some soldiers shouted:
"It's the White Ear Army, the elite White Ear Army of the Shu Army, which is known as the strongest defense."
Another soldier sighed: "Oh no, it's bad, the Shu army camp has gathered the two strongest infantry of the Shu army, the Qilin Army and the White Ear Army, how can this battle be fought?" ”
Suddenly, the commotion in the Wei army's array became heavier and heavier, and all kinds of noisy doubts and shouts came and went.
Xiahou Xuan saw that the army's heart was in turmoil, and knew that if it dragged on like this, it would change later, so he ordered:
"Beat the drums, attack!"
The war drums rumbled, and the five thousand Lin Wei formed an attack formation, fearlessly charging towards the line built by the Wei army's Qilin army and the Bai'er army.
It can be said that these five thousand Lin Wei are proud, as the elite of the Wei army, they are either the sons of the nobles, or the elite selected from various armies, they have always shouldered the heavy responsibility of guarding the Luoyang Palace, with the best equipment and treatment of the Wei State, and they are also confident that they have the strongest combat effectiveness of the Wei infantry.
All the way from Luoyang, in the face of the Shu army ten times their own, they won consecutive battles, so that tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Shu did not dare to fight, and they also fought all the way from Luoyang to Tianshui City, and successfully rescued Tianshui City. They are confident that they will become the game-breakers of the Yongzhou crisis and will achieve an unprecedented victory under the leadership of Xiahou Xuan.
The proud Yu Linwei was not afraid of any Shu army, and five thousand people charged at the same time, and the momentum was terrifying for a while.
"Kill!"
The Feather Forest Guards rushed wildly towards the formation of the Qilin Army and the White Ear Army, and the two sides soon collided and began a bloody hand-to-hand combat.
Xiahou Xuan was very proud in his heart, and felt that these five thousand Lin Wei were indeed worthy of the elite under his command, so brave and fearless, more than a hundred times stronger than the group of soldiers and horses under Guo Huai's command.
The rest of the Wei army saw that Yu Linwei had charged, and they also began to clench their weapons and began to follow Yu Linwei slowly.
Xiahou Xuan saw that the Wei army's large array finally began to move, and he had absolute confidence,
"How are the elite of the five thousand Shu army? Lao Tzu Xiahou Xuan is the elite! ”
Before Xiahou Xuan's words fell, suddenly there was a terrible horn sound in the night sky, and this horn sound was poignant and high-pitched, cutting through the night like a sharp knife.
The soldiers of the Wei army are all very familiar with this horn sound, this is simply a life talisman, it is simply a death sentence, this sound is the unique horn sound of the Shu cavalry.
The cavalry of the Shu army is coming! The Wei army in Tianshui was terrified and looked around in a panic, hoping to find the trace of the Shu cavalry in the dark night.
Naturally, the Shu army did not disappoint the Wei army, and soon, along the east and west sides outside Tianshui City, countless Shu cavalry rushed in. A large number of horses galloped across the field, and the sound of horses' hooves made it seem as if the earth was trembling.
The Liangzhou Iron Cavalry, who were good at charging into battle, took the lead in killing from both flanks, charging towards the Wei infantry formation from the east and west, followed by the Hun cavalry, and began to outflank any direction in which the Wei army might flee for their lives.
The Wei army's infantry formation suddenly collapsed, and these people had all witnessed how the four thousand elite cavalry of the Wei army were surrounded and strangled by the Shu army, and now they were about to face the same fate.
The soldiers rushed towards the city gate, hoping to return to Tianshui, but the gate was closed.
Where will the cavalry of the Shu army give the Wei army any respite, the army rolled in, quickly rushed into the Wei army's array, and the Wei army at the front was knocked away by the war horses.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry soon broke through the Wei army's infantry formation and began a ruthless and efficient killing.
