Chapter 56: Born to Die
Wuzhang Yuan camp, Liu Yin laughed loudly, and Liu Yu laughed with a confused face, could it be that Liu Yin's frightened head was not clear?
After a long time, Liu Yin stopped laughing and explained to Liu Yu:
"My lord, have you ever heard of living to die?"
"What's the explanation?"
Liu Yu looked confused.
Liu Yin analyzed:
"The Wuzhangyuan camp is now besieged by the Wei legion, but there are many camps in the south, and the antlers are even more dense."
"It all seems as if the south is the most difficult to overcome, but I think this is precisely the weakest point of the Wei army's defenses."
"It is precisely because of the strong fortifications that the Wei army will definitely not think that our army will break through from here."
"The Wei army in the west seems to have the most lax defense, but this is exactly what the art of war says, and the siege is three and one is missing."
"Therefore, I feel that at this time, the west of the Wuzhangyuan camp is already besieged by the Wei army, and the south is the only way for us to survive now."
Liu Yin's analysis was the Tao, which made Liu Yu feel very reasonable, but with the lesson of the last time, Liu Yu was still a little skeptical in his heart.
But at this time, whether you believe it or not, the ending is already doomed, that is, you must break through from the south.
Liu Yu can only pray that Liu Yin's analysis is right, otherwise he is afraid that he will not be able to cross this hurdle tonight.
Time passed minute by minute, and after Liu Yu finished rectifying the thousand cavalry that Wei Yan had assigned to him, he began to wait closely for the arrival of the third watch.
"General, it's time!!"
Liu Yin was guarding Liu Yu at the moment, and reminded softly:
"Our army can be killed."
Liu Yu glanced at the armor behind him, and didn't know which of these cavalrymen would be able to follow him alive and return to Shuzhong after tonight.
However, now is not the time for children to be in love, Liu Yu quickly sorted out his emotions, and waved the ring knife in his hand forward, shouting:
"Open the gate!!"
"Brothers, go home!!"
"Go home!!"
The cavalry behind him all shouted in unison, and then followed Liu Yu on horseback, towards the south gate camp that had been opened, and rushed into the dark night without hesitation.
"Boom!"
The sound of horses' hooves trampling on the land of Weinan erupted into a violent sound, and the earth trembled.
"Enemy attack!! Enemy Attack!! ”
Liu Yu rushed out not far before he was discovered by the surrounding Wei army's outposts.
The sound of gongs, alarms, and horses' hooves began to reverberate across the land.
As Liu Yu rushed forward, he soon encountered the antlers set by the Wei army.
These barricades made of wood can effectively stop the cavalry charge, but it is only with the cooperation of elite infantry that they can have an unexpected effect.
Now the Wei army is still asleep, and it has not yet had time to form an army formation to effectively intercept Liu Yu's cavalry army.
But even so, the endless layers of antlers still made Liu Yu spend a lot of effort to move these things away by the moonlight.
After the road was opened, Liu Yu thought that it would be unimpeded, but he found that the Wei army's infantry had formed a military formation at this moment, blocking Liu Yu's southward road.
The moonlight was bright and clean, the iron armor was shining, and the miserable white moonlight shone on the iron armor, revealing the cold light of the forest.
Liu Yu just glanced at it, and found that the number of enemy troops was no less than three thousand, and all of them were elite foot soldiers wearing iron armor.
Seeing this, Liu Yu's heart even chilled.
During the Three Kingdoms period, because the tall saddle and stirrup were not yet widespread, steel was even more scarce, so the mounted cavalry had not yet taken shape.
And a cavalryman without a horseshoe and a stirrup on his feet is not worthy of being called an iron horse at all.
Cavalry without armor had a slight disadvantage in the face of heavily armed infantry.
Especially in the face of heavily armed elite foot soldiers, it is simply a nightmare.
In this era, the restraint relationship between cavalry and infantry has not yet been fully achieved.
It can only be said that the cavalry will have a huge advantage over the unarmored infantry.
Liu Yu couldn't help but glance at Liu Yin beside him, wanting to see if this was what Liu Yin said about living to death? Weak defensively?
It's a pity that due to the night, Liu Yu can only see the vague iron armor, and nothing else.
On the contrary, it was Liu Yin's voice, which came over like nothing:
"General, when the brave meet on a narrow road, this is not the time to hesitate."
"Only by letting go and breaking through the enemy's position can there be a glimmer of life."
Hearing this, Liu Yu was shocked and muttered:
"yes, I can only give it a go!"
Immediately, Liu Yu lifted his spirits and shouted violently:
"Brothers, the road ahead is the way home, but now the road is blocked."
"They don't want us to go home, they want us to stay here forever, cut off our heads in exchange for their military exploits."
"Brothers, what do you say, what should we do?"
"Kill!! Kill the past!! ”
Liu Yin took the lead in shouting, and then there was a shout behind him.
"Whoever dares to stop us from going home will die!!"
"Cut off their heads and rush over!!"
Seeing that the morale was aroused, Li Jin struck while the iron was hot and said loudly:
"Gentlemen, follow me to break through the enemy army, let's go home!!"
"Go home!!"
"Go home!!"
The word "home" seems to have a special magic power, which makes everyone's blood boil, putting life and death aside, and just wants to break through the blockade of the enemy army as soon as possible and return to their hometown.
Go and see the wives and children and mothers who have not been seen for a long time, and see if they are still healthy.
"Kill!"
With Liu Yu's last loud shout, like the No. 1 Charge, 1,200 cavalry crushed the starlight all over the ground.
In the bright white moonlight, it turned into a sharp arrow that had been black, and shot straight towards the Wei army array a hundred steps away.
A distance of 100 paces, in front of the cavalry charging with all their might, arrived in the blink of an eye.
Liu Yu rushed to the front of the formation, only to see Rulin's spear, facing him uprightly.
In order to avoid being stabbed, Liu Yu reined in the reins of the horse, and the whole person and the war horse man stood up, trying to avoid the spear's stab.
It's a pity that the number of spears on the opposite side is too much, and the moment Liu Yu's war horse jumps, it is pierced through the horse's belly by several spears.
Liu Yu was also overturned to the ground.
Fortunately, Liu Yu's kung fu was quite solid, and after being overturned by the war horse, he reacted quickly.
A knife slashed the spear that stabbed in, dodged a few spears that stabbed diagonally, and then held the ring head knife and crashed sideways into the Wei army's formation.
Then he swung the ring head knife vigorously, and was surrounded by bursts of blood and stumps and broken arms.
As the saying goes, one inch is long, one inch is strong, and one inch is short and one inch is dangerous.
Once they were approached by Liu Yu, the spears of the Wei army became a burden.
The ring head knife galloped lightly, and there was no way forward, and the front of the Wei army that killed suddenly turned on their backs.
And the follow-up cavalry, seeing the opportunity, also killed from the gap.
All of a sudden, the entire battlefield was in chaos, and some Shu troops were stabbed off their horses and began to fight on foot with ring-headed knives in hand.
And more Shu troops took advantage of the gap torn by Liu Yu, rushed with light horses, and bravely rushed to kill the Wei army array.
However, the Wei army was also elite, even if it was crumbling by the impact of the Shu army, it was still desperately stabilizing the front, and even faintly began to surround the cavalry of the Shu army.
The battle situation actually began to stalemate, and as time went on, the situation of the Shu army became worse and worse.
