Seeing the melee in the fields, Master Sima was stunned, and the knights who witnessed all this were also stunned.
They all knew that the cavalry entering the fields would have an impact, but they did not expect that Wei Ba would attack at this time. There was a big gap in the strength of the two sides. Wei Ba could defend himself in formation, so how could he divide his troops to intercept? Five hundred cavalry,
Even if they can't gallop in the fields and can't exert their maximum power, they are still not a force that can be ignored. Even if Wei Ba's entire army is deployed, it will still take a long time to besiege these five hundred cavalry.
Isn't he afraid that Master Sima will take this opportunity to attack his main formation?
No one expected this result, just as no one expected that the attack of these Shu and Han troops was so fast. Before they could make a proper reaction, the victory or defeat was decided. Looking at those who chased the Wei army knights in a panic
Among the infantrymen of the Shu army, almost everyone had such a question in their mind.
If the Shu army was so brave, why did they abandon the important town of Wuguan?
Master Sima was shocked. This was the first time he saw the powerful attack power of the Wei family's soldiers, and he finally understood what kind of enemy he was facing.
This is a powerful enemy, this is an insidious enemy, this is a despicable and shameless enemy. The Wuguan offensive and defensive line was fought so fiercely, but he held the sharpest sword in his hand, but he has been hiding in Deng Zhi
Behind the scenes, Deng Zhi is still being used as bait, but he himself is hiding in the darkness and frequently doing evil tricks.
Outside the city of Shang County, a thousand Jingqi were attacked in a sneak attack, and now in front of him, Liang Ji and five hundred Jingqi were killed in the fields.
Sima Shi was still confused at first, but now he understands that it is entirely possible to attack a thousand exhausted elite cavalry with such powerful infantry, as long as the fighter plane is chosen properly. He believes even more with Wei Ba's insidiousness, and with his
The ability to capture fighter planes displayed under Fangling City and catching the thousand elite cavalry by surprise was not an accident at all, but a well-thought-out strategy.
Master Sima thought of the night raid that had been a noisy night before, and felt mixed emotions in his heart.
He knew that after two defeats in the Battle of Fangling and the Battle of Danshui, he would be defeated again at the hands of Wei Ba. He still had a thousand fine cavalry in his hands, but these thousand men had been galloping for a day.
, they had just fought a fierce battle with Deng Zhi, and now they were watching helplessly as Liang Ji and five hundred fine cavalry were killed. Their morale had dropped to the point of no return.
He originally wanted to block Wei Ba's way, but now it seems that it was actually Wei Ba who blocked his retreat. He didn't know if Deng Zhi came back, and he didn't know if there were more behind Wei Ba.
of infantry.
My father is still two hundred miles away. Even if he has already set off from Wuguan, with a daily journey of thirty or forty miles, he is still at least one hundred and fifty miles away from him.
Sima Shi felt that there was some darkness in front of him. He suddenly realized that it was getting late. Night was when Wei Ba was happiest. Last night, Wei Ba spent half the night outside his camp, tossing a thousand fine cavalry.
He was exhausted and swallowed it in one last mouthful. Even with the camp, he still couldn't stop him. Without the protection of the camp, what would be the result?
Master Sima didn't dare to think about it. Seeing the mountain shadow getting heavier and heavier, he couldn't help but shudder.
I must leave as soon as possible.
Although Master Sima was on fire, he still controlled his emotions and did not lose his composure. He waved his hand and ordered to retreat. Although the cavalry did not understand his intention, they obeyed the order obediently, turned their horses forward, and slowly retreated.
Withdrew. Master Sima personally cut off the enemy and followed at the back with three hundred of his most elite bodyguards. Looking at Wei Ba standing up from the tree formation, he gritted his teeth and wanted to tear off a piece of Wei Ba's flesh.
He was too far away to see Wei Ba's face clearly, but the name Wei Ba was deeply engraved in his heart.
Wei Ba put his hands on his hips and smiled bitterly as he looked at Sima Division who was slowly retreating. Sima Division's retreat was not a sign of weakness. On the contrary, it was just a temporary concession before a strong counterattack, in order to accumulate energy.
Liang Ji was wiped out, and the plan to attack from both sides failed. There were only two ways in front of Sima Division, either to attack by force or to retreat temporarily. Attacking by force was not a rational approach. After witnessing the powerful combat effectiveness of the Wei family's soldiers, if Sima Division still wanted to attack by force
, that general was playing into his heart, and he was confident enough to keep Sima Division here. However, Sima Division retreated to a safe distance, which posed a problem for him.
To catch up? The tree formation is useless. Sima Shi can't give him any more time to cut down trees and set up the formation. He can only rely on his more than 800 men to fight Sima Shi head-on. Sima Shi still has a thousand elite cavalry.
And on a solid galloping road, once a charge begins, soldiers like him who have just stepped on horseback and become cavalry may not be their opponents. If they fight with infantry, let alone whether they can catch up, even if they catch up, they will not be able to catch up.
What advantage does it have? Although the soldiers are powerful, they are not machine warriors, let alone terminators. They can defeat the same number of cavalry head-on.
Master Sima might have given up the lives of hundreds of soldiers in exchange for a tragic victory, but he couldn't.
Chasing is not a good idea. But not chasing seems to be a similarly bad idea.
As soon as Sima Shi retreated, Wei Ba was a little helpless. He knew his situation very well, and the longer he waited, the worse it would be for him. Sima Yi might arrive at any time, and by that time, he would still be unable to escape being attacked from both sides.
Danger.
"Send someone to see if Ma Cao and the others have followed." Wei Ba scratched his head and added: "Send scouts from far away to see where Sima Yi's army is. If you encounter Wei Jun's scouts on the way, kill them.
No forgiveness."
"Here." Several soldiers responded, turned around and left. Now that Wei Ba had a large number of war horses, using horses for scouts was not a problem at all. In order to save horsepower and ensure speed, Wei Ba gave them two war horses.
"Dunwu, what do you think we should do now?" Wei Ba called Dunwu and a few soldiers to ask them for advice. At first, his father gave him twenty soldiers, and Mrs. Zhang gave him two more.
Ten, these forty soldiers were his initial team. Now Zhu Yi is stationed in Xiwu, Tang Qianyu has brought twenty soldiers to learn riding combat with Zhao Yun, and is guarding Cao Zhen in Pubanjin, while Chen Xiang is following his father
Stationed in Tongguan, there were only twenty soldiers left beside him.
"Young Master, I think we should go up to them." Wei Xing, a young soldier, scratched his head and said somewhat unconfidently: "Our number is about the same as that dead horse. We can definitely defeat them."
"Nonsense!" Dunwu said, knocking him out of his mind. "You have only been riding a horse for a few days, and you are able to fight against others? Do you think you are a cavalryman after riding a war horse?"
Wei Xing's face turned red and he said unconvinced: "How did they know that we had just mounted the horse? Maybe they were scared away."
"When fighting, you can't hope to scare away the enemy." Wei Ba smiled bitterly and shook his head. Wei Xing was still young and had just joined the battle. He didn't know the dangers of the battle. He was only thinking about what he heard from the veterans: defeating more with less.
, a story of winning by surprise. He didn’t know that any miracle must be based on the right.
"Young Master, what he said is not unreasonable. Instead of waiting here, it is better to take the risk." Dunwu said as he thought: "Although the soldiers are not real cavalry, they have stirrups to help them and hand crossbows.
If he helps us out, we may not lose to him."
"No, this is too risky. Even if we succeed by luck, the casualties will be relatively large. More importantly, I don't believe that Sima Division will retreat without a fight." Wei Ba frowned slightly, thinking about Sima's past more than half a month.
From the actions of the master and his son, he clearly felt that the father and son were very stoic, and their stoicism was almost cruel. Sima Yi stormed Wuguan, and in just five or six days, the casualties were close to 20,000. This kind of ruthlessness is not something ordinary people can do.
If you can do it, like father, like son. He believes that Master Sima is not a person who gives up easily. If you try to take advantage of them, you may lose everything.
And I obviously don’t have much rice.
Wei Ba had a headache.
The sky gradually darkened, and the shadows of the trees became deeper and deeper, gradually blending with the mountains in the distance. Not far away, Danshui was gurgling, flowing eastward tirelessly. Wei Ba
His heart was rushing like elixir, and one idea after another came up, and then he rejected it one by one. The soldiers were still discussing in a hurry, but after thinking about it, they couldn't think of anything except
There are no other good ways besides attacking by force and holding on to the spot.
Gradually, no one was interested in discussing. Someone lit a fire, took some water from the alchemy nearby to boil, took out dry food and started eating. Many people were busy all night yesterday and walked for another day today.
, no matter how strong you are, you still feel a little tired, and there may be tough battles to be fought next, so it is still very necessary to seize the time to replenish your strength.
Wei Ba pondered as he gnawed on the noodles with dried meat. The noodles these days are all unfermented and can be stored well, but they also have a very poor taste. They are so hard that they can cut people. They also take a long time to store.
It was very uncomfortable to eat in the mouth. However, none of the soldiers complained. During the war, it was great luck to have enough to eat.
Wei Xing came over with a helmet full of water: "Young Master, drink some hot water. It will be easier to swallow."
"Okay." Wei Ba took the helmet and took a sip of the water that had just been boiled. He had worn the helmet for a few days, and although it had been rinsed, the smell of oil on his head was still very strong. However, he had been in the army for so long,
I'm used to this taste, and when I drank it for the first time, I almost spit it out.
"Young Master, let's go for a night attack like yesterday?" Wei Xing hugged his legs, squatted next to Wei Ba, and said carefully: "At night, those Wei troops are no match for us."
Wei Ba glanced at Wei Xing's young face, and his heart suddenly moved. He thought for a moment and said, "But we are also very tired."
"We are tired, and they are even more tired." Seeing that Wei Ba did not rebuke him, Wei Xing became more interested and moved closer to Wei Ba: "Young Master, think about it. In terms of being able to endure hardship, who can be better than our Wei family soldiers?
Are they more capable of enduring hardship? Nothing will happen to them without sleeping for two nights. What's more, it's just dark now and we can still rest for two to three hours. When it's almost dawn tomorrow, we can attack them again and we'll definitely be able to capture them.
