At 1:00 in the morning, Deng Zhi led his men away. Although the Wei knights were fierce, they could not attack the city. With Wei Ba and his soldiers guarding the city, the city of Shang County was safe, so Deng Zhi slept peacefully.
In the middle of the night, he got up to prepare to attack Sima Division's camp, but received news from Wei Ba that the situation had changed. Sima Division did not leave any loopholes. The night attack before dawn was cancelled, and General Deng was asked to set off immediately.
Shangluo.
Although Deng Zhi was a little regretful, he still understood Wei Ba's intention. When you use a trick, it depends on whether the other party will be fooled. If the other party is not fooled, the plan can only be cancelled. This is what the meaning of the war is like water. There is no fixed formula.
, it all depends on the ad hoc response of the generals on both sides.
So Deng Zhi immediately set off with his army. They were infantry, and they were walking at a gallop. Even if they only had a few torches, they were enough to move forward. There were no enemies in front of them, only the reinforcements and their destinations. These were withdrawn from Wuguan
After a night's rest, the soldiers' physical strength had recovered well and they could walk easily, much faster than yesterday.
They were two hours ahead of Sima Division, and by the time Sima Division started chasing, they had already traveled seventy or eighty miles.
But Wei Ba didn't leave. Firstly, Shang County needed people to stay behind to prevent Sima Division from quickly pursuing him. Secondly, his men also worked hard for half the night and needed a period of rest to recuperate. More importantly, he needed enough manpower.
Come and attack the cavalry left behind by Sima Division.
He believed that these cavalrymen who had worked hard all night were now very tired. Knowing that there were still people in Shang County, Sima Division would not force them to follow the army. It was more likely that they would be allowed to stay and monitor the people in the city.
Also take the time to rest.
According to the comparison of the strength of the two sides, there should be no problem with Sima Division's arrangement. Even if there are two thousand people in Shang County, they cannot be the opponent of these one thousand cavalry, and he led two thousand fine cavalry to pursue the other two thousand
People are also easy to capture. No matter which part, he has an absolute advantage.
Generally speaking, Master Sima's idea is not wrong at all. Even if it cannot be said to be exquisite, it is at least steady and has no flaws. If you must say that he is wrong, he only has one mistake: he did not know that Wei Ba had eight hundred
A soldier of the Wei family.
Eight hundred Wei soldiers are powerful enough to equal two thousand ordinary infantry. For such elites, the more emphasis is placed on personal bravery in small-scale battles, the greater their role. They can even defeat one against five, or one against ten.
For example, now we are facing a thousand fine cavalry of the Wei army who have been tired for a whole night.
After Wei Ba discovered Sima Division's response, he changed his mind. He asked Ma Cao and others to return to the city to rest. He only took Dun Wu and 20 other soldiers to harass outside Sima Division's camp. Dun Wu
They are all elite soldiers of Wei Jiawu. Since following Wei Ba, they have focused on training some skills that only Wei Ba knows. This kind of ambush and harassment tactics are not difficult for them at all. The twenty people acted separately.
There were those who ambush, those who laid hidden arrows, and those who were responsible for responding. They cooperated in a tacit understanding, and it was so frustrating that a thousand knights could not live in peace, and they achieved a record of injuring more than 50 people and winning more than 20 horses.
Wei Ba used these twenty men to harass Sima Shi all night, while the others recharged their batteries and waited for the arrival of new fighters.
This fighter plane is the Sima Division's division of troops.
With three thousand fine cavalry gathered together, let alone Wei Ba who only had 800 soldiers, even with three thousand, he might not dare to attack easily. The power of the charge of the cavalry group cannot be underestimated. That is the armored force of this era.
But now the situation is different. The Sima Division divided its forces, leaving only a thousand people outside Shang County. The power is not just as simple as the remaining one-third. Cavalry versus infantry, one in a large formation versus five, and one in a small formation.
There are three enemies. The more people there are, the greater the advantage of cavalry. The power of one thousand fine cavalry is only one-fifth of the power of three thousand fine cavalry, or even lower.
If you also include the fact that these cavalry were as tired as dead dogs, their combat effectiveness would be further reduced.
But what they faced was Wei Ba's biggest trump card. The advantages of both sides were reversed on this local battlefield.
So when Wei Ba learned that Sima Shi was chasing west with two thousand elite cavalry, he issued the order to attack without hesitation. Under the protection of Dun Wu and others, he personally led 800 Wei soldiers to open the door first.
The city gate was like a tiger descending from the mountain, rushing towards the camp left by Sima Shi.
Those knights who had worked hard all night and had just finished breakfast and were a little drowsy heard the loud shouts of killing outside the camp and the rapid sound of the alarm gong. They all felt a little slow. After a while, they finally
They realized that this was an enemy attack. They still didn't take it seriously. They rushed out of the tent one by one in an orderly manner, untied the horses tied to the tent, and prepared to annihilate these enemies who didn't know the heights and heights of the sky with overwhelming force, and avenge the harassment at night.
.
Their mood was relaxed, even excited. When they saw that the enemies rushing over were only less than a thousand people, they were even more disappointed. There were only a thousand infantry. How could they be their opponents? They could not even challenge them.
There is no sex either.
So the captain smiled and ordered the camp gate to be opened, preparing to charge out of the camp.
But soon, he regretted his haste.
As soon as the camp gate opened, eight hundred soldiers of the Wei family rushed in front of them, led by nearly a hundred knights. They all leaned forward and sat firmly on their horses, holding a crossbow in their left hand and holding the war horse tightly in their right hand. This posture first
The knights of the Wei army were shocked. Even among the Wei army, except for the tiger and leopard cavalry, no battalion could choose a hundred knights who could charge on horseback without controlling the reins with their hands. You must know that sitting on the back of a bumpy horse
Stability is not an easy task, so usually knights hold the horse's mane tightly with one hand and raise their weapon to fight.
A knight with his hands loose like this is definitely the elite among knights.
When did the Shu Han army have elite knights?
Before the Wei army could react, Wei Ba mobilized his horses and rushed into the Wei army's camp.
"Shoot!" Dunwu roared, and the twenty knights who rushed to the front fired their crossbows. More than twenty sharp arrows flew away from the string, hitting the stunned Wei knights. The Wei knights rushed
He screamed, turned over and fell off his horse. Before the people behind him understood what was going on, Wei Ba and others had already rushed in, waved the swords in their hands, rounded their arms, and slashed with all their strength.
"Kill!" Wei Ba widened his eyes, shouted, and cut a Wei army knight in half with his halberd. Blood spurted out from the knight's neck, splashing on his head and face. He subconsciously
He closed his eyes. Before he closed his eyes, he vaguely saw a spear stabbing him, and he couldn't help but turn pale with fright.
Wei Ba has been practicing martial arts for nearly two years, but he has never personally fought in battle, especially a cavalry charge. This is his first time. It is also the first time that he has killed an enemy with his own hands. When the enemy's blood is spattered, he instinctively
I closed my eyes, but forgot that I couldn't close my eyes at this time. Even a single oversight could lead to death.
Of course he knew this knowledge, but when the situation came to an end, he instinctively closed his eyes to block the blood. When he realized that this was a mistake, the enemy's spear had already pierced his face.
Fortunately, he had a master like Dun Wu beside him. Dun Wu knew that Wei Ba would inevitably make some mistakes when he went into battle for the first time, so he kept paying attention to the enemy a foot in front of Wei Ba. When he saw the enemy's spear approaching, Wei Ba
But he didn't block Wei Ba's sword. He immediately knew Wei Ba's danger. Without saying a word, he slashed diagonally with the sword in his hand, hitting the spear head hard, causing the spear to tilt, and then the sword swept along the spear handle.
Then he passed by and slit the knight's neck.
"Young master, be careful!" Dunwu shouted loudly as he stood in front of Wei Ba and galloped.
Wei Ba was ashamed and his face was red with shame. Fortunately, no one else could see the blood on his face. He raised his sleeves, wiped the blood on his eyes, kicked the horse fiercely, and accelerated again, with the sword in his hand raised high.
He raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Accelerate, charge -"
"Accelerate, charge -" the knights responded loudly and urged their horses again. More than a hundred horses lined up in two rows, like a sharp sword, and stabbed towards the Wei army camp like a sharp sword.
The Wei army did not expect that Wei Ba would arrive so quickly, nor did they expect that Wei Ba would have more than a hundred cavalry, and these cavalry were so powerful that they could all release their reins with both hands and gallop forward. Crossbows on the left and swords on the right,
They were unstoppable and were caught off guard. Maybe it was negligence caused by underestimating the enemy, maybe it was slow reaction caused by fatigue, or a combination of both. When Wei Ba rushed into their formation, they couldn't even increase their speed.
Even though he was riding on a war horse, he was no different from an infantryman.
Even worse than infantry.
Wei Ba rushed forward with more than a hundred fine knights, leaving a trail of blood behind him. Countless Wei knights were shot, hacked to death, knocked to the ground, and then trampled by their horses. Even if they were not injured, the prospect
Still not good, eight hundred soldiers of the Wei family swarmed in, like mercury leaking from the ground, and quickly fought against the panic-stricken Wei knights.
The knights of the Wei army were dying to fight back. Their formation was cut in half by Wei Ba and others, and their morale was severely damaged, but they refused to give up. Some jumped off their horses and fought with the Wei soldiers, while others mobilized their horses and tried their best to fight.
He wanted to start running to form an impact formation, but when he couldn't, he waved his saber, drove his horse in a circle, and started a hand-to-hand fight with the Wei soldiers who rushed in front of them.
The cavalry that had lost their speed were not even as good as infantry, not to mention that they were facing the Wei family soldiers who had been trained like hell since childhood. Although the Wei army knights were brave and tenacious, they still gradually fell behind under the attack of the Wei family soldiers.
Downwind.
The shouts of killing were loud in the camp. Wei Ba led more than a hundred knights to clash with each other, killing those knights who tried to reorganize their formations. Outside the camp, Ma Cao and others finally arrived, and they swarmed into the camp.
, enter the battle circle.
Ma Cao waved his Qimen weapon with both hands, like the arrival of Erlang Divine Lord, charging forward unstoppably. Wherever the three-pointed two-edged sword rose and fell, one person was bound to die. The sharp blade was soon covered with blood. Ma Cao Cao Cao's face was also covered with bright red blood, which looked shocking. Compared with the murderous Ma Cao, Geng Ping appeared relatively calm. He had been located in the middle of the tribe and was closely guarded by the tribe. , the sword in his hand was not even stained with blood, but he was constantly adjusting the direction of the attack. There was not a drop of blood on his face, only indifference.
