Zhuge was reborn, killed the old thief Sima

Chapter 70 The End of the Xiliang Cavalry
At this time, on the shoal thirty miles away from Juiyang City, Zhao Yun was staring at the Juishui River in front of him.

There were only a dozen personal guards following him, as well as deputy general Gao Xiang who hurried over.

"General, General Mi Wei has reached the upper reaches of the Feishui River. He can dig up the Feishui River at any time and divert the water for irrigation."

After Gao Xiang finished speaking, looking at Zhao Yun with a heavy look on his face, he still asked hesitantly.

"General, do we really need to do this? If the water is dug, even the people nearby have already moved away due to the war.

The farmland is also considered clean.

But once we dig out the water, we ourselves will be greatly affected.

Moreover, once Xiahou Dun gets the news and intercepts and pursues us, I am afraid that the soldiers will also suffer heavy losses. "

Just two hours ago, after they had just won a big victory, Zhao Yun immediately issued two orders that made Gao Xiang and Mi Wei shudder.

First, the army gathered all the available war horses, beheaded the injured horses on the spot, and then marched along the Feishui River towards Wancheng.

This is normal at least, after all, their main purpose this time is to rescue Wancheng.

Although in this battle, they defeated Zhang Xiu, killed many enemies, and captured three to four hundred war horses.
But rescuing Wancheng is a big deal.

But the second command is not normal.

"Mi Wei, you immediately lead troops to the dam upstream of the Feishui River, and set up horizontal beams and other objects around it to block the Feishui River. We will continue to move along the Feishui River.

If everything goes well, you don’t need to do anything else, but once you see us raising the smoke, you should immediately dig up the dams and obstructions on the upper reaches of the Feishui River and let the Feishui River burst its banks."

As soon as this order appeared, Mi Wei was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.

But Zhao Yun's reasons are very good.

"Although we are victorious now, you must not forget that this is Zhang Xiu.

Not to mention that Zhang Xiu was also a famous general back then. During the battle in Wancheng, he also attempted to attack after a major defeat.

We were able to win by chance before relying on strategies. If they charge again, we will definitely be unable to fight.
Digging out the water is my last resort! "

Zhao Yun's words made Gao Xiang and Mi Wei look at each other. They didn't believe that Zhang Xiu would do it again when morale was so low.

However, Zhao Yun is now the commander-in-chief, and they can only obey orders.

On the banks of the Feishui River, Zhao Yun once again gathered with his soldiers. At the front, Gao Xiang personally led the way, while at the rear, he personally held the line.

He kept looking back in a certain direction. Although he didn't feel anything, a certain feeling in his heart became more and more urgent.

It wasn't until the horse under his crotch snorted again and seemed a little impatient that Zhao Yun's expression finally changed further.

"Zhang Xiu, do you really dare to come?" The spear in his hand was already tightened, and his progress slowly stopped.

"The whole army is on alert!"

"Come here, dig a trench one foot long and five feet wide fifty steps in front of us, and insert the spear into it with the sharp wood from the army baggage!"

"quick!"

"The swordsmen and shieldmen set up the formation in front, and the crossbowmen followed closely behind."

"Quick, speed up!"

Zhao Yun's sudden order shocked everyone, but no one dared to have any doubts or dissatisfaction with the order. Under the leadership of Gao Xiang, they immediately took action.At this time, they were on the bank of the river. The land was muddy and easier to dig. Thousands of people worked hard, and several simple trenches soon appeared.

It's just how crude this trench is.
"General, can this thing really defend against cavalry?" Gao Xiang looked at the shit-like defensive trench and couldn't help but shook his head, "I feel like this thing will have no effect even if a war horse falls into it."

"It's better than nothing. After all, we can't find a good place to build a barracks in advance, otherwise I'm afraid that Zhang Xiu will really start to wander around us after seeing it.

A group of infantry blocks a group of cavalry in the field. You and I both know what will happen next.

Instead of worrying day and night, it’s better to take this opportunity and get it done once and for all! "

As soon as Zhao Yun's words came to light, Zhang Xiu's Xiliang cavalry had already charged towards them. The leader, Zhang Xiu, was holding a spear with a ferocious smile on his face.

"Zhao Zilong, this general is here!"

Looking at the roaring Zhang Xiu and his Xiliang cavalry, Zhao Yun just shook the spear in his hand indifferently.

"Xiliang Iron Cavalry. Where is the Xiliang Iron Cavalry? It's ridiculous!"

"Vertical shield!"

"The crossbowman shoots the horse!" This time, Zhao Yun learned from his previous experience and gave the order to directly let the crossbowman greet the horse in the front.

At the same time, Zhao Yun also summoned all the cavalry under his command.

Many of them have not received any training, so it is too much to let them start fighting now, but Zhao Yun has no choice.

"You have tied yourselves to the war horses, and when you start charging later, follow me closely!"

"Kill!" With the last roar, when Zhang Xiu rushed over, Zhao Yun also roared and charged directly with his cavalry.

Use this head-on charge to finally delay their speed.

"Bang!" A Xiliang cavalryman was knocked to the ground by Zhao Yun's horse. The spear in his hand did not kill him immediately. The horse's hooves behind him would trample him like mud.

Zhao Yun's spear kept waving at the Xiliang cavalry, but this could not stop the Xiliang cavalry from charging.

One after another, the new wild soldiers were killed, first the cavalry who rushed out, and then the sword and shield bearers who were knocked away.

Followed by the soldiers armed with spears who rushed forward.
The simple trenches were still of some use. Under repeated obstructions, the speed of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was greatly restricted, giving the crossbowmen who retreated to the rear a second chance.

But this did not affect the charge and morale of the Xiliang army at all. They still fought with these people without hesitation.

If you look down from the sky, you can clearly see that the Xiliang cavalry under Zhang Xiu are advancing deeper and deeper, and the casualties of the Xinye soldiers and horses are becoming more and more heavy.

Gao Xiang, who was stabilizing the situation in the army, saw that the situation was about to get out of control, and he knew that he had no choice.

"Light up the wolf smoke!"

As a thick column of smoke rose into the sky, the war here was completely exposed to the eyes of all the surrounding cities.

At the same time, on the upper reaches of the Feishui River, Mi Wei, who had been preparing for a long time, used all his strength to hit the dike with a hammer on the crack that they had dug out.

"Break water!"

"Destroy the enemy!"
