Wei Ba and Wu Yi stood side by side on the command platform, looking at the Wei army that was charging into the formation, their brows furrowed, and their eyes full of worry.
After receiving the news of the fall of Dengsai half a day ago, the first batch of Wei troops arrived half an hour ago. They arrived so quickly that both Wei Ba and Wu Yi were surprised. What surprised them even more was the Wei troops behind them.
Rushing to the front of the formation, without any pause, they rushed towards the blocking position of the Shu army. Their indomitable morale made every Shu army soldier take a breath, but the sudden sound of war drums made everyone gasp.
The morale of the defenders in Fancheng was greatly boosted, and they forcefully drove back the Shu army that had already boarded the city.
This was a surprise attack, which was a dangerous signal. Because neither Wei Ba nor Wu Yi, nor Meng Da who was attacking the city, expected that the Wei army would be so ruthless.
Facing a blocking formation of more than 10,000 people, the Wei army with only 3,000 people actually rushed in without hesitation. If they were not crazy, there was only one possibility: the main force would arrive soon.
It was precisely after understanding this signal that the morale of Fancheng's defenders was greatly boosted, and they were able to escape death again.
Wu Yi took a deep breath and said calmly: "Ziyu, Sima Yi is not a good person."
Wei Ba squeezed his eyes hard and regained his composure from his somewhat stiff face. "General, no matter whether he is good or not, it is not easy for 30,000 people to break through the formation of 10,000. We still have
Time is enough for General Meng to defeat Fancheng." He pointed to the battle flag in the distance and laughed loudly: "I have fought against Sima Yi and his son many times, and I have never suffered a defeat. I think this time will be no exception. General, just do it.
Don't worry, this time we will succeed."
Wei Ba's confidence infected the soldiers next to him, as well as Wu Yi. Wu Yi also laughed and waved his hand vigorously: "Then let's borrow Ziyu's luck and defeat him again."
"That's right." Wei Ba nodded with a smile on his face.
The general's relaxation greatly eased the mood of the Shu army soldiers, and they entered the battle in an orderly manner. Sima Division led a battalion of 3,000 guards and rushed towards the Shu army position, quickly passing through the 200-foot-wide crossbow position.
, in contact with the first blocking front.
The person arranged in the first formation was Zhou Yu. Facing the rushing Wei army, he showed no fear. He held a knife in both hands and stood at the front line. Seeing that the Wei army was about to kill him, he shouted: "Spear!"
Hand, kill!"
"Kill!" the spearmen lined up in two rows shouted, thrusting out the spears in their hands.
"Swish!" The sharp spear point hit the Wei army's shield, scratched the Wei army's breastplate, and pierced their bodies.
Facing the forest of spears, the Wei army had no choice but to rush forward regardless of their own safety. They blocked their bodies behind their shields and clenched the swords in their hands, hoping to knock away the spears and engage the Shu army in hand-to-hand combat.
.However, the Shu army had been prepared for a long time. At this moment, their morale was high. How could they succeed? One spear pierced the shield, and another spear took advantage of the situation. One spear picked up the bottom of the shield, and the other spear
Stabbed Wei Jun in the lower abdomen.
The spearmen in the two rows at the front and back cooperated with each other, and the ones on the left and right covered each other. There was no trick in their spear skills, they went straight back and forth like shuttles, occasionally mixed with delicate and subtle movements such as picking, pressing, and dialing. The spears rose and fell, and the Wei army was defeated.
Assassinate them one by one in front of the formation.
The Wei army fought to the death and refused to retreat. They roared and rushed forward one after another, continuously charging towards the Shu army's position, trying to open a gap and carve out a bloody path.
The line of contact between the two sides soon turned into a blood line, and soldiers continued to fall in a pool of blood. This blood line kept swinging. Sometimes the Wei army was like a sharp spearhead, hitting the Shu army back again and again.
The defense line bent like a bow, and sometimes the Shu army was like a sledgehammer, mercilessly hitting the Wei army's spearhead, forcibly breaking the spearhead and re-stabilizing the defense line.
The two sides fought mercilessly on both sides of the bloodline, and one living life after another disappeared amid the shouts.
Zhou Yu held the sword in his hand and kept giving orders. He kept waving his crossbow and throwing arrows, shooting sharp arrows into the Wei army's formation. The thunderbolt chariot roared at the fastest speed, one after another.
A stone bullet rose into the air, with an ominous roar, and smashed into the Wei army. It hit the shield, the shield flew away, and hit the bones, which were broken. If the charging Wei army seemed to be filled with surging blood, then these
Stone bullets and sharp arrows are blockages shot into blood vessels, trying their best to interrupt this torrent of flesh and blood.
The screams of the Wei army could not be shaken, but they could not shake Sima Shi's determination. He knew very well the significance of his father's order. Even if not one of the three thousand guards was left, he would not blink an eye. He could only these three
An attack by thousands of people can allow Fancheng to sustain itself for a while until the main force arrives.
Last time, he spent 3,000 cavalry to get to know Wei Ba. This time, he also had to spend 3,000 personal guards to prevent Wei Ba from attacking Fancheng. Since the beginning of the war, every time Wei Ba made a move
Unexpectedly, either an unbelievable victory was achieved, or the victory was so fast that you couldn't understand it. This time, Sima Shi had to personally stand in front of Wei Ba and block his victory.
Sima Shi already knew Xiahou Xuan's mission, and he felt even more humiliated.
He had to give a generous dowry. This was not only an insult to Sima Shi, but also an insult to the entire Wei Dynasty. It was tantamount to admitting that he was no match for Shu on the battlefield.
If Guanzhong fell, Xiahou Mao was the biggest sinner, but Xiangyang fell, then Sima Yi was the biggest sinner. Their father and son could no longer shirk their responsibilities.
Sima Shi braved the rain of arrows and launched attacks continuously. Several of the guards blocking him had fallen. He didn't know that he just stared at the battle line in front of him coldly, constantly giving orders to attack, using huge cannons.
At the cost of casualties, they continued to eat away at Zhou Yu's position.
The Shu army had positional advantages and ordnance advantages, but the Wei army had a numerical advantage. The three thousand guards battalion were the most elite soldiers in the Xiangyang theater. Their riskless attacks put great pressure on Zhou Yu. As
One soldier after another fell, his line became thinner and thinner, and he slowly retreated.
Zhou Yushu raised the double rabbit flag, gripped the sword tightly, and stood at the forefront.
"Behead the one who retreats!" Zhou Yu let out a loud roar, flashed his sword, and beheaded a Wei army warrior with a bloody face in front of him. He took a step forward, raised his sword back, and knocked open a spear. The tip of the sword
He accurately cut the Wei Jun's neck. Blood gushed out and sprayed all over his head and face, but he didn't even blink. He cut down the spearman who was covering his neck with a backhand knife. He hit him with his shoulder and used the long knife.
Stab into the belly of another Wei army who rushed up.
"Kill -" Zhou Yu held the knife with both hands and pushed the Wei Jun back. The Wei Jun screamed, threw away the weapon in his hand, held Zhou Yu's neck with both hands, opened his mouth, and bit him
Come down.
"Go to hell, mother!" Zhou Yu gave him a sharp elbow, pushed him away, flew up with a kick, and slashed him with a knife.
More Wei troops rushed forward, with swords and spears coming down to kill Zhou Yu in front of the formation. Zhou Yu was not afraid, the sword in his hand flew up, and he chopped down several Wei troops one after another, stabilizing the battle line. Behind him
The personal guards also rushed forward, slashing and killing, and finally blocked the Wei army's attack again.
Wei Ba stood on the command platform and stared at Zhou Yu's position. The double rabbit flag danced wildly in the wind, just like the chaotic and bloody battlefield. As soon as he saw the double rabbit battle flag, he asked Wu Yi to send reinforcements.
Support. He knows Zhou Yu's character very well, and he will not ask for help unless it is absolutely necessary.
But Wu Yi flatly rejected Wei Ba's request. He said that the battle has just begun and we cannot mobilize soldiers at will. Sima Yi has 30,000 people and I have 10,000 people. If we want to stop Sima Division, one must replace three.
Zhou Yu has a thousand men. Even if he dies, he must still stop these 3,000 Wei troops. Otherwise, we will be defeated in the end.
Wei Ba knew that Wu Yi was right. With a position to rely on and powerful ordnance as a backing, if one thousand people could not stop three thousand people, then the battle would be lost. The Wei army adopted this desperate posture.
If you want to defeat the Shu army psychologically, if you mobilize other people to support you at this moment, your momentum will already be weaker.
However, just watching Zhou Yu and Wei Jun fight so hard was really an unbearable torture.
Wei Ba slapped the railing hard and gritted his teeth.
Wu Yi walked up, put his big and generous hand on Wei Ba's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Ziyu, kindness does not control the army. What we pursue is the final victory. When necessary, we must be ruthless and sacrifice part of our strength.
Soldiers, even if they are your father, brother, or your most beloved child. Fighting is not about showing off in court, it is about killing people."
Wei Ba sighed and nodded. He understood this truth, but he understood it literally, and it didn't really integrate into his blood. He had seen many bloody scenes, but he was far from a real one.
There is still a long way to go before a general. First of all, his heart is not ruthless enough.
"Furthermore, since Sima Yi ordered these people to attack as soon as they arrived, how could he do it just this once?" Seeing that Wei Ba was still a little worried about Zhou Yu, Wu Yi further explained: "If my guess is right, then soon
A second group of troops will arrive, and after arriving, they will immediately launch an attack. If our army changes its position and exposes its flaws, then the second group of troops will definitely attack there. Then won't we have to change our position again? Ziyu,
Temporarily changing the formation is not a good thing."
"I understand the general's teachings." Wei Ba bowed gratefully. Wu Yi's words were cold, but absolutely correct. The Wei army's desperate attack was to seize the initiative. Once he is soft-hearted, he will inevitably lose his position.
.Wu Yi is willing to tell him this, which is a great favor to him. There is no better occasion than this to learn how to use soldiers. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
