The raging fire ignited the tree array, and then ignited the trees on the road. The fire grew bigger and stronger, and finally turned into three giant dragons dancing wildly at the top of the trees, extending in both directions east and west. Night sky
Illuminated by the fire, even the stars lost their light.
Wei Ba could no longer see Sima Division. They were separated by fire. Except for the occasional arrows that passed through the fire curtain, it was basically impossible to be sure whether there were enemies on the opposite side or how many enemies there were.
Wei Ba looked at the fire, his eyes flickering.
The fire was so strong that it seemed that there was no possibility of fighting between the two sides before the trees were burned down. Could it be that the Sima Division attacked aggressively just to burn down these tree formations so that he could use the power of his iron cavalry? Before these trees were burned down,
, he is waiting opposite?
The fire is so big that even if it doesn't burn tomorrow morning, it can burn at least until midnight. Are you guys going to wait here until midnight?
One question after another came to Wei Ba's mind. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. The reason why Sima Division did not attack was because of the tree formation. Destroying the tree formation would make things easier.
It seems reasonable for the cavalry to show off its power.
But Wei Ba just felt that this didn't make sense.
On the other side of the fire curtain, Master Sima looked at the jumping flames, and a smile finally appeared on his lips. He knew that his adventure was successful. Wei Ba did not rush up to fight with him, and he successfully destroyed the tree.
Formation, lost the opportunity. Now even if Wei Ba wants to rush up and entangle him, he can't get through the raging fire.
Water and fire are merciless. The most powerful weapons on the battlefield are not crossbows or cavalry, but water and fire. Those who make good use of water and fire will be famous generals.
Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and even bows and arrows were gradually unable to shoot across this distance, Sima Shi left some people to bluff, and quietly withdrew with the main force. His purpose was not to fight Wei Ba, nor was he just
He wanted to destroy Wei Ba's tree formation. He wanted to take this opportunity to jump out of the trap and get behind Wei Ba.
Staying next to such a dazzling fire, who would notice anything moving in the darkness in the distance? Even if Wei Ba sent out scouts to take precautions, for the sake of caution, he would inevitably divide his troops, but he made a desperate move
, go all out, integrate more than a thousand cavalry into a fist, how can Wei Ba's loose defense line stop him?
Only by escaping from the dilemma of being attacked from both sides and going around Wei Ba's back can we truly regain control of the initiative. At that time, Wei Ba, whose tree formation was destroyed, could not only escape, but also use the unskilled knights to fight him to the death.
Of course, if Wei Ba insisted on using infantry to face him, he would also welcome it.
A thousand Wei army knights made a long circle and detoured back to the hillside on the north side of Chidao. The fire in the distance illuminated half of the sky, which was just enough for them to use as lighting, and they didn't even need to use torches. They were not walking fast.
, the formation was also very loose, and the soft ridges in the fields just eliminated the sound of horse hooves, and everything seemed so logical.
Until the vanguard met the scouts sent by Wei Ba.
When the two Wei soldiers saw the shadowy figure, they immediately became alert. They quickly separated, one moved forward and the other quickly retreated. At the same time, they raised the shields in their hands vigilantly. They just raised the shields, and two arrows were fired.
It shot over, one stick nailed the shield, and the other flew past the helmet of the retreater.
"Fuck!" the retreating soldier cursed, shouted, turned around and ran away, shouting at the same time: "The enemy is attacking——"
Several war horses rushed out of the darkness. The knights on the horses brandished their sharp swords and slashed at the soldiers who were approaching. As soon as the soldiers heard the dull sound of horse hooves, they immediately knew that something was wrong. He was afraid that something was wrong.
With a roar, he advanced instead of retreating, brandished his sword, and faced the knight who rushed out.
With a soft sound of "Crack", the sword in his hand cut off the knight's sword, and the man was thrown upside down by the huge impact. He turned somersault in the air, relieved the impact of the horse, and promptly
Swinging his sword to chop off a sharp arrow, the tiger roared and charged forward again.
"Kill!" There was a loud shout, and the sword cut off a horse's leg. The horse fell to the ground with a crash, knocking the knight on the horse to the ground. The soldier didn't even look at him, and the long sword swept away with blood drops.
He picked up and chopped hard on the left knight's thigh. Before he could retract his sword, two arrows screamed out from the darkness. The one that hit the chest was deflected by the steel armor, but the other one shot deeply into the chest.
His thigh was cut. He groaned, knelt down on one leg, rolled on the spot, avoided the collision of a war horse, raised his sword and cut open the belly of the war horse.
Hot blood gushed out from the wound, and then white intestines also squeezed out of the wound. They were quickly trampled by the war horse itself. The war horse screamed and ran a few more steps, fell to the ground, and knocked the knight off.
dust.
The warrior turned over and was about to get up when two more war horses rushed out of the darkness. Two swords struck his shoulders at the same time, bringing him to the ground again. Immediately afterwards, a war horse rushed over, and Wankou
The big horse's hooves stepped on me.
"Kill!" the soldier roared and threw the sword in his hand with all his strength.
There was a crisp sound of "click", and the horse's hoof stepped on the soldier's chest. The soldier spurted blood from his mouth, opened his eyes wide and died. He threw the sword and whizzed in the air, spinning, and deeply pierced a knight's chest.
Chest. The knight was caught off guard and fell off his horse with a "plop".
The Sima Master swept past on horseback, pulled out the sword from the fallen knight, and glanced at the exhausted warrior, he couldn't help but feel frightened. Facing the group of knights, this Shu army infantry not only
Instead of running away, he bravely came up to him, and even wounded several of his riders with every move. His superb martial arts skills were truly astonishing.
Even the most skilled personal guard around Master Sima may not be able to do these things, but this is just a soldier under Wei Ba.
The Sima Master did not dare to neglect. Since the trace had been discovered, he no longer concealed his whereabouts. He ordered all the knights to disperse and run as fast as possible. With the order, the knights let go of the reins and began to gallop.
Although it is very dangerous to run in the fields, and you may stumble at any time, it is better than being trapped here. Their actions have been exposed, and the longer they delay, the more dangerous they will be. Once those Shu army infantry come over, their
The casualties will be even more staggering.
Sima Division spread out the troops in order to expand the width of the formation as much as possible and delay the attack of the soldiers. Although the war horses cannot gallop at full speed, they are still faster than people after all. They can only get ahead of Wei.
He could at least save his life by escaping to Chidao before Ba stopped him.
Nearly a thousand riders began to run at risk. Although some people kept falling off their horses, they still ran faster and faster, gradually forming a torrent.
Wei Ba on the road looked at the Wei cavalry fleeing hastily under the mountains and couldn't laugh or cry. He now understood Sima Division's true intention, but he was a step too slow. Now even if he ordered to catch up, he could not stop Sima Division.
Escape from the fields was very risky. Once he was blocked, the whole army was more likely to be annihilated. Even if he escaped successfully, he would suffer a lot of losses. He originally thought that Sima Division would not do this.
But I didn't expect Master Sima to do just that.
On the battlefield, there are always things you can't think of. No one can be sure of everything.
"This boy is like a strong man who has his wrists cut off, and a gecko who has his tail cut off." Wei Ba said with half regret and half emotion: "This boy has courage and is worthy of being Sima Yi's son."
"Besides, what kind of courage does it have to be a lost dog?" Seeing that the night attack plan he proposed had failed, Wei Xing couldn't help feeling a little frustrated. He wrinkled his nose, pouted his mouth, and spat at the fleeing Wei cavalry.
"What happened to the lost dog?" Wei Ba disagreed, "As long as it is alive, the lost dog will have the opportunity to bite you again. Only a dead dog will not have the chance to bite you back."
"Young Master, let's catch him up and beat him into a dead dog, shall we?" Wei Xing rolled his eyes and said excitedly: "If you don't come, we won't beat him into a dead dog, we'll beat him into a dead horse.
"He thought his statement was very creative and couldn't help grinning.
"Of course we can't let him escape so smoothly." Wei Ba rubbed his hands and ordered the soldiers to start chasing. They mounted their horses and drove all the way along the Chi Road. Once they found out that the Wei cavalry wanted to rush onto the Chi Road, they would
Shooting with crossbows. The knights of the Wei army were miserable. They were in the fields and couldn't make their horses run at full speed. No matter how good their riding skills were, they couldn't show off. The soldiers were running on the galloping road. Although they couldn't see the road either, they couldn't.
It is much safer, at least you don’t have to worry about your horse stepping into a ditch. Moreover, the soldiers are all equipped with strong infantry armor, and their protective capabilities are stronger than that of the Wei cavalry. When both sides shoot at each other, the Wei cavalry is more capable.
Suffer.
One was on the gallop and the other was in the field. The two sides exchanged fire. The soldiers who had the upper hand suppressed the Wei cavalry, making it impossible for them to use their riding skills and they were passively beaten.
Under the protection of his personal guards, Sima Division finally rushed to Chidao. His heart was bleeding. He knew very well that although he was safe, his three thousand cavalry had almost been lost. Look around him, except for
In addition to more than a hundred personal guards who were still following him, there were only a few other cavalry. Some of them were still running for their lives in the fields, and some had fallen forever in the fields. In the end, those who could follow him back to the road alive were
There will definitely not be more than half of them.
This was a fiasco, a complete fiasco.
This was the third time he was defeated by Wei Ba. Compared with the previous two times, this time it was more embarrassing, more thrilling, and the losses were more heavy. He could only bring back 20% of the 3,000 fine cavalry his father gave him.
Wei Ba, as long as I am still alive, I will always come again. Master Sima looked at Chi Dao behind him, looked at the faintly visible firelight in the distance, and imagined Wei Ba smiling proudly under the firelight, and his heart was filled with hatred. He
I tightened my grip on the riding crop and whipped it hard. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. I have discovered your weakness. Next time, I will repay you twice as much for the shame you inflicted on me.
