Chapter 239: Entering Like a Wall
The next morning, the June sun was already scorching.
Cao Shuang once again summoned the army out of the camp, came to Chang'an City, and set up a large array two miles outside Chang'an City. This time, he was full of confidence, because this time, Wang Ling and Zang Ba, the two old guys, had prepared a large number of siege equipment.
Thunderbolts, trebuchets, siege towers, and rammers are all available.
Zang Ba also gathered a large group of people to fill in the moat.
Therefore, Cao Shuang felt that this time, he would definitely be able to capture Chang'an City. After the army came to Chang'an City to line up, Cao Shuang sent Deng Yang to call for battle as usual, hoping to lure the Han army out of Chang'an for a decisive battle. This can save all kinds of troubles of filling in the moat and attacking the tall and strong Chang'an City.
When Deng Yang led two thousand cavalry to Chang'an City and began to scold Jiang Wei'er, it was not long before a man came to cut me, the nine gates of Chang'an City opened violently, and the Shu army began to go out of the city.
Cao Shuang was suddenly very proud, feeling that Jiang Wei was really giving himself face, and he was about to achieve his reputation of eight battles and eight victories, so he ordered 20,000 Lin Wei Iron Cavalry to cover up the past, and took advantage of the Han army's unstable foothold to defeat the Han army in one go.
In the large array of the Wei army, the war drums rumbled, and several large cavalry formations crossed out of the military array, charging towards the Han army that had just left the city.
However, this time, a different situation from the past appeared, in the past, as long as the Wei army charged, sometimes it did not even rush to the Shu army, the Shu army was in chaos, but this time, the Shu army was not chaotic, but it seemed very orderly.
The first to go out of the city to form a formation was the two thousand Baier army, under the leadership of Fu Yan, the Baier army opened twenty super-long spear phalanxes under Chang'an City, and after the super-long spear array of one zhang and two feet was put down, the tip of Senran's spear rushed straight to the rushing Wei army.
Behind the White Ear Army, there are two thousand Qilin troops with heavy armor and heavy armor, Liang Xu's Qilin Army, everyone is like an iron bucket, holding a long knife forged from stainless steel, as the second echelon, only after the White Ear Army resists the power of the Wei cavalry charge, it will take over the White Ear Army and rush up to fight with the Wei army.
In addition to the White Ear Army and the Qilin Army, other soldiers and horses from all walks of life are still pouring out of the city gate. Zhuge Zhan's Imperial Forest Army and the elite of the Southern Barbarians also began to line up behind the Qilin Army, forming a large infantry formation.
Zhang Yi and other generals led the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong to provide long-range fire support for the large array.
The Qiang cavalry of He Yaoge and the Xiongnu archers of Liu Bao rushed out from both flanks, providing flank cover for the large array.
A large array of more than 60,000 Shu troops soon began to take shape under the city of Chang'an.
Seeing this, Cao Shuang in the Wei army's large array said excitedly: "Okay, I finally lured Jiang Wei's main force out, today, this general is going to annihilate the main force of the Shu army under Chang'an City!" ”
Cao Shuang was proud, and in the Shu army's formation, the war drums rumbled, and the Shu army was ready to meet the enemy.
20,000 elite cavalry of Cao Wei Yu Linwei opened the formation, and charged towards the large array of the Shu army with the momentum of overwhelming the mountains and seas.
Fu Yi shouted: "The cavalry is coming, hold your spear, and prepare to meet the enemy!" ”
The soldiers of the White Ear Army roared in unison:
"Kill!"
Before the sound was over, the cavalry of the Wei army had already charged in front of the Baier army, and 20,000 people attacked the Shu army's large array, and the Wei army also let out a heroic battle cry.
With a bang, the Wei cavalry array collided with the line of the White Ear Army, a super long spear array of one foot and two feet, so that the Wei Army Yulin Guard cavalry could not rush into the phalanx at all, and before they approached the White Ear Army, they were stabbed through with men and horses.
Countless war horses let out a mournful roar, unwilling to fall in front of the White Ear Army, many Wei Army knights finally swept away the tip of the first layer of spears, but further forward there are spears, the more spears go inside, as if there is no dead end, as long as the phalanx of the White Ear Army is installed, it is like hitting a huge wall full of spear tips.
The Wei army, which was originally imposing, actually hit its head in front of the White Ear Army's formation, and it couldn't break through the White Ear Army's front no matter what.
The 20,000 troops of the Wei army rushed over, but they were stopped by the 2,000 Baier army, and the cavalry charge lost its impact, and either withdrew and recharged, or could only fight with the infantry in hand-to-hand combat.
Deng Yang and Li Sheng, the two generals who led the cavalry charge, felt that this was because there were more Shu troops fighting out of the city today than in the past, so they were more tenacious, and they only needed to fight for a while, and the Shu army collapsed.
Unexpectedly, the white-eared army formation began to divide into gaps along the way, and immediately, a pair of heavy armor and heavy armor, armed to the teeth, took heavy and powerful steps, holding long knives and killing out of the gaps in the white-eared army.
This group of unicorns seems to be very good at hand-to-hand combat, each holding a long knife with two sides of the blade, the long knife is made of stainless steel, sharpening iron like clay, and it is unstoppable.
The infantry of the Qilin Army are all elite soldiers selected from the army, enjoying the best treatment among the armies under Jiang Wei's command, all of them are very strong and powerful, and the long knives are wielded vigorously.
And the attack of the Wei army, in front of the powerful armor of the Qilin army, was like tickling, painless, and could not pose a threat to the Qilin army at all, and the Wei army, which had lost the power of the charge, was almost unable to cause effective damage to the Qilin army.
The Qilin Army was like a powerful meat grinder, slashing with long knives, advancing like a wall, killing the Wei cavalry and retreating.
Deng Yang and Li Sheng were a little stunned, and an inexplicable surprise and fear surged in their hearts. Is this still the Han army that fought seven battles with them? The previous Han army was like a flock of lambs, but now the group of Han troops facing it has become a man-eating Menghu.
If you continue to fight like this, Yu Linwei will be defeated!
This was a situation that the two had never expected, but a strong sense of danger forced the two to retreat in their minds.
Deng Yang took the lead in ordering a retreat, and then Li Sheng also ordered a retreat, and the Wei army's Yulinwei saw that the enemy could not be defeated by the Shu army, so he decisively chose to retreat. Yu Linwei retreated like a tide, leaving behind a corpse in front of the front.
In the large array of the Han army, the Qilin Army did not pursue Yulinwei, but got out of the way, and then, five thousand Southern Barbarian elites under Zhuge Zhan rushed out of the gap between the Qilin Army.
The elite of the Southern Barbarians only wear light armor, and they are good at running and charging, which is used to pursue and defeat the enemy, which is no better.
The two wings of the Han army's large array, the Qiang cavalry under the command of He Yaoge and the Hun cavalry under the command of Liu Bao, preemptively attacked before the Wei army Yu Linwei retreated, wanting to outflank the retreating Wei army.
Whether it is the Qiang cavalry or the Hun cavalry, they are good at riding and shooting, and at the same time as outflanking the Wei army Yulinwei, the rain of arrows also began to overwhelmingly attack.
The rain of arrows fell, instantly knocking down a large area of Wei troops, and the rest of the Wei troops stopped their advance in order to avoid the rain of arrows, and rode their horses to make evasive moves.
The speed of the Wei army's retreat slowed down, but the Nanban elite who were chasing was extremely fast, and soon bit the Wei army Yu Linwei and began to engage the slow Wei army.
The Nanban elite has extremely strong combat effectiveness, and there are constantly Yulin Guard cavalry being cut off the horse by the Nanban elite.
Cao Shuang, who was in the middle of the big array, looked at everything in front of him a little dazedly, and the whole person was stunned.
