Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 138
"Sun Tzu's Art of War" said: "There are more fire drums in night battles, and more banners in day battles, so people's eyes and ears are changed."

Zhao Yun, who has fought for nearly 40 years, has his own experience in night battles.Just as he told Fu Xun to say, night battles are more about morale than day battles. Everyone has a fear of the night, and this fear will be hidden in the army formation, and it will be highlighted when the situation is unfavorable. Come out, disturb the morale of the army.

And Wang Shuang has been in the army for many years, so he naturally knows the difficulty of night battles. When marching westward, he also ordered people to spread more torches around to strengthen the army.

The Han army was divided into two wings, with Fu Xun leading the way and Liu Yin leading the way. Taking advantage of the night, they marched staggeredly from the left and right sides with drums and shouts.

Wang Shuang of the Wei army also reacted immediately. His troops divided into two groups to resist. He sat in the middle army and ordered people to hold up torches.

In the dark night, Zhao Yun led 300 people of cavalry and stood still. When the Han army changed its formation, he ordered everyone to extinguish their torches and stared at the Wei army, as if waiting for something to appear.

In the dark winter night, the north wind howled.

Zhao Tong looked at his father's side face with the help of the quiet moonlight, and asked curiously: "Father, since you came to Guanzhong, why do you look southeast from time to time?"

Zhao Yun fixed his eyes on the approaching Wei and Han armies, ignored his son's question, but urged: "When the two armies are fighting, don't be distracted."

Before Zhao Yun could finish his sentence, the desolate horns sounded in front of the Wei and Han armies.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

Suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air, and a large number of feathered arrows in the formation of the two armies shot out with the help of the night, sliding out countless parabolas in the air, crossing the large shield in front of the formation, and trying to fall on the soldiers in the rear formation.

But it is a pity that a large number of arrows were blown away by the densely packed spears, and only a small number of arrows fell on the soldiers, but this did not have much lethality at all, except for a few unlucky ones. , more Han troops have moved forward slowly.

When the two armies were separated by dozens of steps, the Han army hammered the war drum fiercely, and the passionate drum sound suddenly resounded in the silent night.

The soldiers of both sides shouted in unison and charged against the rain of arrows from both sides.In an instant, the two fire dragons collided, and amidst the roar of mountains and tsunami, the soldiers of the two armies met hand in hand.

In the army formation, hundreds of people line up, the brave will not be the first, and the timid will not be able to retreat.Swords and spears collided, spears and spears clashed, armor shattered, armor leaves collapsed, and the blood of the soldiers continued to splatter, and the wailing and screaming of their injuries were also heard one after another, endlessly.

The Han and Wei armies were all elite soldiers with strong armor and sharp blades, and strict military discipline. The Han army rushed forward to attack the Wei army, while the Wei army was as stable as a rock under its offensive. The two armies fell into the most difficult fierce battle.

However, the number of the Wei army was at a numerical disadvantage. After a stalemate for a period of time, the Wei army was repelled a few steps, but the follow-up reinforcements came forward again, and the two armies were once again entangled. However, the Han army was still slightly superior by virtue of its numerical advantage. .

In the left-wing army, Fu Xun looked dignified, and was amazed by the combat effectiveness of the Wei army in front of him. This Wei army has rich combat experience and tenacious fighting will, which exceeds the current strength of the ordinary Han army. It may be difficult to suppress the veterans who followed the legacy of the late emperor.

The Wei general Wang Shuang who got the battle situation frowned slightly, thinking in his heart that the [-] soldiers he led were all born in Qin, and they followed the general in the south and north all the year round. They were the elite of the Yongzhou army, but now they were killed Repression, regardless of the number of its troops, its soldiers must be the elite of the Han army. It seems that there must be a hard fight today!
Just as the two armies were fighting fiercely, bugles sounded in the formation of the Han army on the left wing, and more than a hundred people rushed forward to try to defeat the Wei army formation.

The first general, wearing a crimson Shu robe with fish scale armor and holding a spear, appeared in front of the battle majesticly. It was the Han general Fu Xun and his trilogy's personal guards.

"Slay Wei Gou and revive the Han Dynasty!" Fu Xun raised his spear high and roared angrily.

After the Han soldiers in front of the battle heard the sound, their morale was boosted, and they followed the coach to fight bravely.

Fu Xun tried his best to shake up the spear, and danced the spear in his hand with a gloomy cold light. He jingled a few stabbing spears away, sideways dodged the stabbing spears, and then turned to stab the spear point into his throat. .

Before his right hand had time to retract the spear, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, and someone struck with a knife.

Fu Xun hurriedly took his hands away from the gun, took a step back, and then the man with the knife slashed across his waist; Fu Xun bowed his waist to dodge, passed by, then drew back the spear with his left hand, and stabbed it smoothly, and the sharp copper tail of the gun pierced into the Wei army. Vest, lift the knee and hit the abdomen, knocking him to the ground.

The next moment, when Wei Jun was struggling to get up, Fu Xun's personal guards had already raised their spears to kill him.

Fu Xun looked around and went deep into the enemy's formation. Wei Jun tried to double-team himself, but in desperation, he had no choice but to retreat to the front of the formation.

Fu Xun was once again shocked by the Wei army in front of him. Under his own charge, he still held his position and did not retreat at all. retreat.

Can't help but take a breath, Fang believed General Zhao's words, the soldiers of the world, the soldiers of Qin are the most resistant to hard battles.

Wei General Wang Shuang's face was anxious, he kept pulling the whip in his hand, forced himself to remain calm, turned his head and asked his followers, "Where is the general's reinforcements?"

The entourage shook his head and said in a low voice: "The general asked our army to wait for reinforcements, but the reinforcements are unknown, and there are no fires along the way."

After Wang Shuang heard the words, he was shocked, and then he threw the whip on the ground, and shouted angrily: "What is the general's intention? If he can come at this time and encircle the Han army, then this Han army will be defeated."

The entourage suggested: "General, otherwise, order the cavalry to fight."

Wang Shuang shook his head and refused. This trip was to cross the river, so there were not many cavalry under his command, but more infantry.

Compared with Wang Shuang's eagerness, Zhao Yun in the dark night was also a little confused. I don't know why the coach Huang Quan didn't send troops to respond, but he still listened to what he said, if he can win, he will fight, and if he can't, he will retreat.

So according to his own ideas, he kept paying attention to the situation on the battlefield and waited for a chance.

Although the battle situation in Weibei fell into a stalemate, the battle situation in Weinan was surging at this time.

Meicheng, Cao Zhenying camp.

After Cao Zhen received Wang Shuang's rescue battle report, he called all the generals to discuss the matter of sending troops to rescue.

After Cao Zhen explained his intention to attack the Han army in Beiyuan, he asked, "What do you think about Ziquan?"

In an instant, everyone in the tent was talking about it.

Seeing the noisy crowd, Xia Houba showed displeasure on his face, and said anxiously: "General, the last general is willing to lead his troops to support Wang Shuang and attack the Han army in Beiyuan."

The literati advised: "General, the night is dark and the wind is high. I don't know the enemy's situation. I am afraid that there will be fraud. If the Han army sends people to besiege General Wang and then set up an ambush to reinforce the army, our army will be in danger. Let us wait first. Send people to investigate along the road, and then send troops."

Listening to the words, Cao Zhen didn't know how to make a plan for a while, and kept moving his index finger on the map, thinking about how to act in his mind, trying to figure out Huang Quan's intentions.
