Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 853 The Great Showdown ([-])

Under the sky, the mist was hazy, and the flags fluttered in the air. Wei soldiers lined up in columns or horizontal lines, forming an army formation. The huge army formation had no end in sight. They were constantly approaching and engulfing the rolling hills on the field, like The tide is rising.

The big banner of 'Sima' fluttered in the wind, and Sima Yi frowned solemnly under the banner. Not only did the northern camp fail to harass, but the southern camp didn't have the desired effect, which meant that his plan was bankrupt.

Wen Qin, who had withdrawn from the southern camp, rode his horse to the front of Sima Yi, showing displeasure on his face, and said, "I don't know why the Tai Tuo ordered the troops to withdraw. If someone makes a few more forcible attacks, he might be able to break through the camp of thieves."

Wen Qin was rebellious, violent, and arrogant, but because he was a scholar of Qiao County and capable of bravery, Cao Shuang was extremely favored after he came to power.

Wen Yang, who was following Wen Qin, was even more displeased. The 17-year-old had displeasure written all over his face, holding his strong arms with both hands, repelling Sima Yi very much.

After Cao Shuang was imprisoned today, Sima Yi gave Wenqin a great kindness in order to appease Wenqin and prevent him from rebelling.This also fueled Wen Qin's arrogance, and he was often rude to Sima Yi.But considering the need to use him to defend against the enemy, Sima Yi could only turn a blind eye.

Facing Wen Qin's rudeness, Sima Yi restrained his anger and said, "Wang Ji's attack on the camp has failed, and our army's strategy has failed. The sky will be bright, and the bandit army will rush to help. How can the general break the enemy's camp. If the general is defeated, no one will be able to fight against the bandit army, the general still needs to be on the safe side!"

Hearing Sima Yi's explanation and flattery, Wen Qin snorted softly, slightly alleviating the unhappiness in his heart.

"Now that the army is here, I wonder if Taifu wants to retreat?" Wen Qin asked.

Looking at the camp of the Han army, Sima Yi said deeply, "It's not up to me to advance or retreat!"

"Why?"

The Han army watched upstairs, Liu Chan supported the wooden railing, and discussed with Deng Ai, Liu Min and others whether to fight with the Wei army.

Deng Ai pointed to Sima Yi's queue and said: "Your Majesty, Sima Yi led the army and is still in the marching ranks. It can be seen that this thief is not yet ready for battle. Our army may fight against him!"

After a pause, Deng Ai added: "Although [-] of our army's elite left the camp to go north, most of Sima Yi's army are new recruits. The elite have suffered their first defeat and their morale is not good. They can be used by our army."

Liu Min also pointed to the soldiers of the Wei army who fled from the northern camp, and said: "Before the camp was attacked, all our soldiers were in armor and ready to go. Now that the enemy who came to the northern camp has fled and their morale has been lost, our army should take advantage of the victory and pursue them. To defeat Sima Yi's army."

Du Yu also had the courage to suggest: "Your Majesty, when Cao GUI debated the battle, he said: "Courage is also a battle!Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted. "Now our army can use a strategy to deal with Sima Yi's army."

Liu Chan raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "Yuan Kai can explain it in detail!"

"promise!"

Under everyone's gaze, Du Yu blushed and said, "Your Majesty, Sima Yi's strategist guessed that he wanted to attack the South and North Battalions at night, throwing our army into a panic and defeating them with a frontal army. Tonight If the attack strategy fails, the frontal army must retreat."

"However, our army can pretend to stay behind closed doors. When they retreat, they will attack and harass them with cavalry. When they want to fight, they will not fight and leave. On the contrary, when their spirits weaken, they can Send out a large army to fight, and you can defeat the enemy!"

Liu Chan was amazed by Du Yu and showed off to everyone, saying, "This is Liu's son-in-law. What do you think of his strategy?"

"Du's strategy of joining the army may be feasible!" Deng Ai said: "Your Majesty can order Qingqi to attack and harass the Wei army's phalanx."

Faced with the suggestion of sending troops to fight from the generals under his command, Liu Chan patted the wooden fence heavily, and ordered: "In this case, the Rangers attack."

"promise!"

The gate of the Han army camp was wide open, and countless Han cavalry galloped out from the entrance of the camp. The yellow sand rolled up like a long dragon and went straight to the two wings of the Wei army.The Wei army also reacted in the formation, the peripheral infantry lined up and waited, and the cavalry pawns dispatched from the two wings to meet the Han army's cavalry.

Seeing the harassment of Han cavalry, Wen Qin ignored Wang Ji's face and said bluntly: "As the Tai Tuo said, our army is hard to retreat! I am afraid that the bandit army wants to fight our army, but now the king Ji was defeated, I don't know if he can fight?"

Sima Yi stroked his beard and said: "The current situation is based on the fact that Jiang Wei invaded Hebei in the north. General Wei may not be able to hold on for a long time. It is okay to fight the enemy. Moreover, tens of thousands of Han troops were lured to the north. There are not many elite soldiers in the army, and their soldiers and horses are not as good as our army, and our army has the hope of defeating the enemy."

In the eyes of both the Han and Wei dynasties, there is an aspect in which their own side has an advantage. For example, from the perspective of the Wei army, they believed that due to the [-] army going north, their number of soldiers and horses and elites was not as large as their own; while the Han army believed that Wang Ji attacked the camp. After retreating in defeat, the morale of the Han army has increased, and there are many recruits in the Wei army, unlike the elite of the Han army, they can win.

However, as far as Sima Yi is concerned, with the current situation of Cao Wei, he must bite the bullet and fight this battle. He has no confidence in how long Sima Shi can delay Jiang Wei.And without fighting today, waiting for the return of the Han army from the north, the hope of the Wei army winning is even slimmer.The current battle with the Han army can be said to be the most promising time.

"Teacher, please arrange it!" Everyone said.

Sima Yi took the map and analyzed it: "The Han army should not be underestimated. It has been fighting for many years, and its soldiers are brave. Our army prefers to stick to the front and wait for the enemy to be tired before sending troops to fight. Pang Hui, Xu Zhi, you two People are famous for their bravery, lead the headquarters and soldiers to stick to the front, remember not to lose anything."

"No!" Pang Hui and Xu Zhi spoke out, accepting orders.

"Mr. Lu, let the governor fight the front!"

"Don't dare!" Lu Zhao, who supervised Qingxu's army, replied respectfully.

"Where is General Wen!"

"The end is here!"

Sima Yi said cordially: "The general is good at riding and fighting. Please also command the left cavalry and guard the square formation of the army. You can attack only after obeying the military order, and don't rush in rashly."

Wen Qin showed joy, cupped his hands and replied: "Teacher, don't worry, Quan Zi and I will definitely keep the left line and obey the military order to defeat the bandit army."

When thinking about the candidates for the right team, Sima Yi hesitated for a long time and said, "Where is Wang Ji?"

Wang Ji, who had disappeared among the crowd, showed shame and replied, "The last general is here!"

Sima Yi appeased Wang Ji, and explained to the crowd, saying: "There are elite soldiers in the northern camp of the rebel army, but it is Yi who miscalculated the rebel army. It has nothing to do with General Wang. He has made meritorious service by fighting till dawn!"

After a pause, Sima Yi said: "Yi wants to hand over the weight of the right formation to Wang Jun, what does Wang Jun think?"

Wang Ji knelt on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Since I have accepted this order, I will not rest until I die. Please rest assured, Grand Tutor."

Sima Yi helped Wang Ji up, and said: "Since this is the case, the right cavalry should be handed over to Wang Jun. This is also what I told you before. Don't underestimate the enemy."

"promise!"

There was no way, Sima Yi was really frightened by underestimating the enemy, so he repeatedly told everyone.For example, in the Battle of Guanzhong, Xia Houru underestimated the enemy and rushed forward, Zhong Huangquan's decisive strategy; in the Battle of Yiyang, Le Wei also underestimated the enemy and rushed into the army, leading to a major defeat.

After everyone had dispersed and returned to their respective units, Jiang Ji walked up to Sima Yi and said, "Teacher, the bandits' cavalry raided our army, and our army was on guard, but they retreated again. Repeating this, I'm afraid it's the strategy of the enemy's exhausted army." However, I am afraid that the bandit army will not dare to fight, and our army's previous achievements will be wasted."

Sima Yi pondered for a while, and said: "Order the soldiers of the army to retreat three miles, lure the enemy to ride up and fight, and let our cavalry intercept and fight, to see if we can force out the bandit army."

"promise!"

The army flag was waved, and the army slowly retreated. Seeing the retreat of the army, Han Qi couldn't help biting the Wei army's army.At this time, a large number of Wei Qi took the opportunity to intercept Han Qi and entangled with him.

Looking upstairs, Liu Chan looked at Du Yu and said with a smile, "Sima Yi would rather suffer casualties and retreat. Yuan Kai's strategy of exhausting the army may be difficult."

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for my lack of knowledge!" Du Yu said apologetically.

"What's the crime?" Liu Chan waved his hand and said, "Order the whole army to attack."

"promise!"
