Unfortunately, he soon discovered that this was also a luxury.
Just when he was about to cross paths with the more than two hundred cavalry, Wang Shuang had already rushed over with more than sixty cavalry. Dozens of empty-saddled horses rushed into the queue and cut off the men who came to meet him.
It is undoubtedly a disaster for the galloping cavalry formation to be cut off at the waist. Without the opponent's attack, the damage of trampling each other is enough to make this team lose its combat effectiveness. The knights behind have no time to turn, so they can only follow the routine one by one.
Rushing up. Guan Qiujian knew better that even though the knights had superb horse control skills, the tired horses did not have enough physical strength to complete such a tactical action.
The tragic ending that awaits these knights is that they will be knocked off their backs.
They had no hope. Even if they were not killed by their companions, they would not be able to escape from the enemies who were watching eagerly.
Guanqiu Jian felt chilled, but did not mess up his position. He immediately gave up the plan of rendezvous, ordered the soldiers to turn around again, and turned back to fight Wei Ba. At the same time, he sent messengers to notify the four hundred knights in the south to come to meet him.
If Wei Ba can be entangled, even if the whole army is annihilated, Wei Ba's physical strength and morale will be depleted. When the four hundred knights arrive, there will still be a chance to kill Wei Ba and strive for a tragic victory that will hurt both sides.
The drums sounded, and the Wei army's knights turned again. At the same time, several riders rushed out of the queue and ran wildly south.
Wei Ba understood Guan Qiu Jian's plan at a glance. He stepped on the stirrup, stood up from the horse, raised the long baol in his hand, and shouted angrily: "Kill Guan Qiu Jian——"
"Kill Guanqiu Jian—" the soldiers responded with a roar, and chased Guanqiu Jian with their swords as long as the forest.
In front, Wang Shuang sent dozens of prepared horses to rush into the Wei army's formation. After interrupting their charging formation, he also turned the horses' heads and led the knights towards Guanqiu Jian's flank.
Guan Qiujian sighed deeply in his heart, he knew that he had no chance. The other party's goal was very clear, they were coming for him, and there was no way they could give him a chance to escape.
Wang Shuang rushed to the horse and clamped the horse's belly hard. The Xiliang horse under his crotch neighed, jumped up, passed the two guards guarding Guanqiu Jian's side, and hit Guanqiu Jian. He used both hands.
He raised it high, swung the long spear in a round shape, and struck down with all his strength with fierce killing intent.
This time it's not a stab, but a chop.
The long spear, which was more than three feet long and had three sharp edges, struck Guanqiu Jian like a broadsword.
Guanqiu Jian lost all hope, roared, dropped the sword in his hand, held up the shield with both hands, put it on his back, and then fell on the horse.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and the long sword in Wang's hands struck the shield in Guanqiu Jian's hand firmly. The shield was torn into pieces, and sawdust flew away. Guan Qiujian's eyesight went dark, and he saw a huge one from the edge of the shield.
The black shadow rushed towards him, and then he felt his body light up and floated up. The brilliant sunset flashed past his eyes, followed by the golden grassland, and finally the earth rushing towards him.
"Bang!" Guanqiu Jian fell from his horse, causing a burst of smoke and dust.
Wang Shuang's war horse hit the waist and abdomen of Guan Qiujian's war horse. There was a crunching sound. Several of the poor horse's ribs were broken by the impact. Its huge body flew up horizontally, causing several war horses to stagger. The battle suddenly became unstable.
Big chaos.
Wang Shuang was like a god descending from heaven. He jumped down from his horse, brandished his long spear, and swept forward. The sharp blade cut off the hoofs of the two horses. The horses fell to the ground and slid a dozen steps on the ground until they collided with each other.
Only then did the other war horses stop.
Seeing that Guan Qiu Jian fell from his horse, Guan Qiu Jian's personal guards were shocked. They reined in their horses and turned back to save him. In the chaos, they couldn't see where Guan Qiu Jian was, so they could only shout loudly and look for him everywhere.
Their shouts attracted more knights and Wang Shuang's subordinates.
They also gathered around, some controlling their horses, circling around, and beheading them from above, while others jumped off their horses and split the long handle into two. The long handle used for mounted combat immediately became used for foot combat.
Using their long swords, they transformed into heavy armor again, formed a circle, protected Wang Shuang, and chopped down with all their strength.
Wang Shuang freed his hands, looked around, and found the unconscious Guan Qiu Jian, and couldn't help laughing loudly. He handed the sword to his left hand, lifted Guan Qiu Jian with one hand, and shouted: "Guan Qiu Jian is here, who is it?"
If he dares to move again, I will chop him down."
During this short period of chaos, Wei Ba had already arrived. They flew past both sides and surrounded the Wei army, which had lost its formation and was in chaos.
Guanqiu Jian was captured, and the Wei army's fighting spirit completely collapsed. Some people turned their horses' heads and fled in all directions. Some people sat blankly on their horses, at a loss, and some people jumped off their horses.
He threw away his weapon and knelt aside.
The battle is over.
Wei Ba did not dare to be careless, and immediately gathered his camp, returned to the hillside, and set up a blocking formation condescendingly. More than two hundred prisoners were also brought to the mountain, tied into a string with ropes, and knelt aside. If the Wei army launched another attack,
They will become human shields.
Wei Ba handed over the task of defense to Wang Shuang, and took Guan Qiujian back to the memorial monument. He opened the kettle, took a sip of water, and let out a long breath.
The casualty results of both sides came out quickly. The losses were so small that it was unbelievable. Eight knights died in the battle and 21 were injured. The most lost ones were the horses. In order to disrupt the charging formation of the Wei army's cavalry, Wang Shuang drove
More than thirty horses were charged horizontally. Almost none of these horses survived. Even if they survived, they had lost their combat effectiveness and could only be turned into broth for dinner.
However, compared with the more than one hundred war horses captured, this loss is negligible.
The captured knights of the Wei army were not able to eat the delicacies brought by Wei Ba, but they enjoyed a meal of horse meat, but many of the horses were brought by them. In this fierce battle, more than two hundred horses from both sides fell.
On the battlefield, it was enough for each of them to enjoy a hearty meal.
After treatment, Guanqiu Jian woke up. Looking at Wei Ba's hateful smiling face, he was silent, raised his head, sighed, and leaned weakly on the memorial monument.
"Brother Guanqiu, are you alright?" Wei Ba signaled, and a soldier took a kettle and a piece of freshly roasted horse meat, and threw it in front of Guanqiu Jian.
"Why bother?" Wei Ba pulled on his cloak and squatted in front of Guanqiu Jian. "Even in front of Duke Cao's memorial monument, you can say without shame that you have tried your best."
"Thank you." Guanqiu Jian glanced at him and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "However, it is still impossible for me to surrender to you."
"If you don't surrender, you won't surrender. At worst, I'll charge another ransom." Wei Ba grinned and said, "The last time it was too cheap, this time it will be a little more expensive. Oh, how much ransom do you think Cao Rui is willing to pay for you?
Five hundred gold, or one thousand gold?"
"A defeated general is worthless, so stop having such wishful thinking."
"Hahaha, don't belittle yourself." Wei Ba thought for a while: "I can understand that you don't want to live, because you don't want to shame Cao Rui anymore. But have you ever thought about the secrets you see if you die?
Then no one will know." He turned his head and looked at the depressed prisoners in the distance: "Do you think those people can calmly analyze what they saw?"
Guanqiu Jian's eyes narrowed and he closed his mouth tightly.
Wei Ba is right, these people are basically Wuhuan people. The Wuhuan people follow the rules of the grassland and believe in the strong. The reason why they surrendered to Cao Wei back then was because Tadun was beaten in the battle of Bailang Mountain.
A great defeat, the Wuhuan people were frightened and subdued
, From then on, the Wuhuan cavalry became a sharp weapon in Cao Cao's hands. Now that Wei Ba defeated 600 cavalry with more than a hundred cavalry, and captured his general alive, what would the Wuhuan people think? Even if they would not succumb to Wei Ba, I'm afraid they would
I don’t dare to confront Wei Ba easily.
As if he could see Guanqiu Jian's worry, Wei Ba shook his cloak again and said with a wicked smile: "Do you know what this is?"
Guanqiu Jian took a closer look by the light of the fire and discovered that there was a white wolf embroidered on the corner of Wei Ba's cloak. He looked at Wei Ba in surprise and remembered the reputation of Wei Ba's divine general. When Wei Ba entered Wuling, it was
He conquered the Wuxi barbarians by relying on his ability to pretend to be gods and ghosts, and now he is using his same tricks again to conquer the Wuhuan people?
White Wolf Holy Mountain, White Wolf, Panhu, which is very similar to the wolf, plus Wei Ba's almost miraculous record, what will the Wuhuan people who believe in wolves and claim to be the descendants of wolves think?
Guanqiu Jian took a breath of air, and after a moment, he smiled bitterly and said: "So this is the battlefield you chose, and you sent that craftsman as well, right?"
"Of course." Wei Ba chuckled: "I invite you here sincerely. Without you, it wouldn't be so shocking."
Guanqiu Jian tried his best to pretend to be calm and asked: "But how do you know that I will definitely ambush you here? If I had already withdrawn, wouldn't your work have been in vain?"
"I have to say, it is indeed possible." Wei Ba nodded and said: "To tell you the truth, my initial target was not you, but Gongsun Yuan. But since you are here, I might as well give it a try. You
It doesn’t matter if you don’t come, just treat it as hunting, the difference is just the size of the harvest.”
Wei Ba pointed at Guanqiu Jian and raised the corner of his mouth: "Obviously, I am very lucky."
Guanqiu Jian was silent for a moment and then asked: "You sent someone to the Wild Wolf Valley just to see if I am still here?"
"I hope I can control the initiative in my hands, so that I can be more sure. If I don't let you rush here, how can I win so easily?" Wei Ba nodded, shook his head and said: "Also,
If you have too many men and horses and the risk is too great, I will just leave without a fight and run away."
Guanqiu Jian smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Wei Ba paused and then said: "Don't blame yourself. Whether you are fooled or not, my strength is obvious. It's just a matter of showing it earlier or later. I think anyone with a discerning eye can do it."
It can be seen that Tianming is no longer in the Cao family. How did they eat it and how did they spit it out? Wu
The country is a ready-made example, and Sun Quan is Cao Rui's role model. If he knows the current affairs, removes the title of emperor, becomes a minister, and withdraws from Luoyang, he may still be able to retain a prince and his ancestors can live on. If he does not know the current affairs, then don't blame others
, we will all go to Luoyang, and the Cao family will inevitably be nailed to the pillar of shame."
He looked at Guanqiu Jian and smiled lightly: "I hope you can give Cao Rui a message to negotiate."
