Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

More than 2000 cavalry gradually accelerated and galloped, stirring up smoke and dust, while nearly [-] iron hooves stepped on the ground and made a deafening roar, and rushed straight to the Wei army ranks, rushing fiercely.

When the Han cavalry galloped out, Xia Houxuan's military order was issued slowly.

It was too late when the generals of the Wei army responded according to the military order. The archers drew their bows and shot, but the sparse arrows did not cause any harm to the Han riders.Instead, after they shot an arrow, they saw the Han riding galloping, and couldn't bear the fear in their hearts and retreated.

Most of the Wei army's infantry were not wearing armor because they were marching. In a panic, they couldn't even find where their school lieutenant was. See Wei Jun soldiers scattered and fled.

Behind the ranks of the Wei army, a Wei man who looked like a general was quite courageous. He rode a horse and led his personal guards against the flow of people.

Seeing this, Fu Qian, who led the army to rush forward, went up to welcome them. Between the two horses, the spear in his hand knocked Wei Jun Xiaowei to the ground, and the Xiaowei was trampled to death by the horses.

Fu Qian, who had finished killing people, did not waste time and continued to charge forward.

The soldiers of the Wei Army retreated back to the country this time, not only the grassroots soldiers, but also the generals of the Wei Army, who were not ready for battle.Many people even thought that the war was over, and they were ready to fantasize about going home to their wives and children.Unexpectedly, Deng Ai seized Yuanshan, like a heavenly soldier descending to ambush the army.When Fu Xun led the cavalry to charge, the soldiers of the Wei army in front had frightened each other, scrambling to avoid the edge.

After a wave of impact, it was almost devastated. Without killing many people, it directly penetrated the front line of the Wei army and approached Cao Shuang's middle army.The defeated soldiers of the Wei army were like bereaved dogs. They turned their heads in panic and ran back, with Han Qi chasing after them.

However, although Cao Shuang was incompetent and didn't know military affairs, the generals who knew military affairs, led by Xia Houxuan and Linghu Yu, made preparations to prevent enemy ambushes during the march.

This arrangement is not mysterious, but all generals who know how to use soldiers are prepared.The other is to leave enough space between the marching teams, so that when the soldiers in the front meet the enemy, the troops from all sides have time to find out the danger and make full preparations, and there is also enough space to respond to the retreating soldiers. and defense.

During the charge, Fu Chen also suffered a lot of injuries. Thanks to the strength of the armor, he didn't hurt any vital parts, but his skin was bruised.A few arrows penetrated into the gaps in the armor plate, but fortunately there was a chain armor inside, so the arrows were bitten so that they would not go deep.

Fu Qianle stopped his horse, took out a knife and cut off the shaft of the arrow, and scanned the surrounding battle situation.I saw that Fu Youlin, who set out with him, encountered a different situation from him. Fu Youlin, who was attacking Cao Shuang's middle army, was leading his army to be beaten by small formations of Wei troops gathered one by one, repeatedly looking for gaps to fight. Break through and kill.

More than a thousand riders circled back and forth, shouting and killing, and the smoke and dust filled the air.Although the Wei army tried its best to resist, it was limited by foot combat and was at a disadvantage.So Kong has a huge force, like a long snake that has been cut into several sections, twisting its body without any threat.The infantry brigade of the Han army is approaching in a strict formation.

However, Cao Shuang's central army was ambushed by the Han army, how could the army behind him not move, hundreds of cavalry hastily assembled have rushed over to fight.In order to prevent hundreds of cavalry from interfering with Fu Youlin's troops, Fu Qian ordered the cavalry to drive away the fleeing Wei soldiers, while he himself led some cavalry to meet them.

Compared with Fu Qian's success, Fu Youlin's attack on Cao Shuang's army seemed a bit of a failure.He organized several attacks, but failed to disperse the Wei army, but caused many casualties to his side.

Fu Youlin's left leg was stabbed by a soldier of the Wuwei Camp with a spear, and the wound was dripping with blood, which penetrated the armor skirt and stained the outer robe red.He stuck the spear upside down on the ground, tore off a corner of the hem of his clothes, and tightly wrapped the wound on his left leg.Then he held the spear again, and led the cavalry to charge back and forth in the army formation.

However, the Wuwei Battalion of the Chinese Army defending Cao Shuang was really brave. Facing the impact of the Han cavalry, they formed a circular formation. Before that, Fu Youlin's lone army went deep into the enemy's formation, and was immediately besieged by more than a dozen spearmen. Fortunately, his men in the tribe He didn't hesitate to use his body to cover his evacuation, otherwise he would have to fold himself into the army formation with his men and horses.

Cao Shuang sat on his horse in a panic, trying to observe the battle situation around him.The current scene seems to remind him of the scene when he went to Guanzhong with the late emperor Cao Rui and was attacked by the Han army from all sides.Thanks to the desperate efforts of his soldiers to save him, and his own luck, he saved his life just now.In the current situation, although there are thousands of troops around, he does not feel the slightest sense of security.

Cao Shuang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and stared closely at the Han cavalry in front of him, for fear that they might penetrate the formation and enter the middle army.Although this Han cavalry was blocked before, it was also piled up by the soldiers of the Wuwei Battalion.

Wuweiying is the elite of the Chinese army, although it was damaged in the battle with the big Han, but under Xia Houxuan's practice of selecting elites from all directions to fill it, Wuweiying quickly recovered its fighting power in its heyday.This group of soldiers included frontier soldiers who fought against Xianbei people in Youzhou all the year round, as well as elite soldiers from various places.Fearless against powerful enemies, he is also used to galloping cavalry.

Of course, the infantry after the cavalry of the Han Dynasty is also well equipped, with pockets, leather armor and iron helmets, knives, guns, swords and halberds, bows and arrows.Their steps were steady, their positions were firm while they were marching, and their formation was not loose. Based on Cao Shuang's shallow military knowledge, it can be seen that these infantry are also elites with strict discipline and rich combat experience.

If the cavalry is like a sharp long sword, piercing into the heart and lungs of a person, then the elite infantry is like a hammer with a weight of [-], which can knock apart a person's skeleton.If these troops are allowed to enter the battlefield, I am afraid that in terms of the current chaotic situation, there will be no confrontation by our own side.

Cao Shuang looked flustered, staring straight at Xia Houxuan.And Xia Houxuan's hand holding the hilt was also dripping with sweat, and he didn't know what to do at the moment.Although he was talented, it was also the first time he commanded such a large army, and it was even the first time he encountered an ambush.

It didn't take long for the matter to develop to this day. A large number of soldiers of the Wei army collapsed without warning, and only the soldiers of the Chinese army who had assembled hastily resisted bravely.

However, it was only the Chinese army that was ambushed at the moment. For example, part of the army led by Sima Zhao was already in front, and Yanzhou Governor Linghuyu was behind him.Even if they knew that the Chinese army was ambushed, they were probably gathering troops at this time and were on their way to rescue, but could they survive until that time?
Not only Cao Shuang didn't want to die, but Xia Houxuan didn't really want to die either. He still wanted to serve the Great Wei without realizing his ambition.

Just when Xia Houxuan was hesitating, several scouts from the rear galloped to Cao Shuang's army, and were let in by the soldiers of the Wuwei camp, bringing a shocking news.

The scouts rushed over, knelt on the ground and reported: "General Linghu's troops were attacked by Wang Ping, and the soldiers were scattered. General Linghu doesn't know whether he is alive or dead."

Linghuyu served as the governor of Yanzhou. During the retreat, he was in charge of the rear and blocked Wang Ping's pursuit. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by Wang Ping instead.

The news was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and Cao Shuang and Xia Houxuan were both terrified and their heads swelled.

When the 8000 army attacked the city, [-] to [-] people were killed or injured. When the troops were withdrawn, the wounded followed Sima Zhao, and Cao Shuang and Xiahou Xuandu led the central army.Linghu Yu led the rear of the Yanzhou Sergeant Palace, although his troops were not as elite as the Wuwei Battalion, the latter was by no means weak.

Moreover, Linghuyu is also a reliable person, who has been fighting Soochow all year round. Before the battle of Anfeng, he tricked Sun Quan into entering the game.Although the Yanzhou sergeants under his command were in the interior and rarely went to war, the sergeants recruited for this battle were not old or weak.

How could an army of nearly [-] people be defeated so easily?
Is Wang Ping really that powerful?Or is this the true strength of the famous general.

Cao Shuang and Xia Houxuan couldn't think of the reason at all, and they couldn't allow them to analyze the cause and effect at the moment.How to resist the attack of the Han army at the moment is the most important issue at the moment.

Cao Shuang couldn't bear his temper anymore, and pointed to the south and said, "The rear army has been defeated. Our army can't stand here alone. Let's withdraw our troops and go south, there is hope."

Cao Shuang's army traveled through the mountains, and there were rolling mountains in the southeast and northwest. Deng Ai occupied Yuanshan in the northwest and left the mountains in the southeast.As long as he ran into the southeast mountain which was not suitable for a large group of cavalry, detoured to the front, and caught up with Sima Zhao, he would be safe.

Everyone followed Cao Shuang's fingers and saw that many fleeing Wei soldiers were fleeing across the southeast mountains, and a large number of flags and armor were abandoned on the hills.

Deng Yang, Li Sheng and others applauded again and again, but Xia Houxuan did not speak out because of face.With the tacit consent of everyone, the Wuwei camp, which had been standing still waiting for reinforcements, discarded all the food, grass and luggage it was carrying to the sound of military drums, and turned to the southeast mountains, preparing to flee across the mountains.

This move not only drove the rhythm of the Wei army, but also disrupted the rhythm of the Han army.The soldiers of the Wei army who had been stubbornly resisting also gave up fighting and fled with Cao Shuang.The Xianbei Huqi in the Han army were greedy for property and went to pick up the discarded military supplies of the Wei army. It was not until Fu Youlin killed several Huqi that he stopped this absurd behavior.
