Three Kingdoms: Heir of Wolong, my father-in-law is Guan Gong
Chapter 316: The Modao Army defeated Cao Zhang, and Zhang He sounded the retreat
Under the bright moonlight, Guan Yu rode his horse towards us, dragging his Mo Dao in his hand.
Five hundred sword-wielding soldiers also followed Guan Yu into the battlefield.
"Even my second brother is here!"
There was a hint of surprise in Zhang Fei's tone.
Zhuge Qiao issued military orders to Zhang Fei and Guan Yu separately.
Before entering the battlefield, they didn't know each other.
Zhuge Wang had been instructed by Guan Yu before, and he was excited to see Guan Yu arrive: "Third General, we have to withdraw from the battlefield first, otherwise it will affect the performance of the Second General."
"That is the cavalry Sanli that my brother made specifically for the second general's school swordsman."
Zhang Fei tilted his head to look at Zhuge Wang, and said with some resentment: "You just said that Bo Song made it specifically for my second brother?"
Zhuge Wang didn't notice the change in Zhang Fei's tone, and said excitedly: "That's right!"
"The Han Dynasty's Mo Dao, which is said to be able to 'break both men and horses', the Gaoqiao saddle that will not cause the horse to fall even in a head-on charge, and the double-sided stirrups that can easily control the horse without reins."
"With these three cavalry advantages, the cavalry of the pseudo-Wei will be as weak as children in front of the second general!"
Zhang Fei's tone became even more resentful: "Bosong is also my son-in-law!"
Zhuge Wang’s smile froze for a moment.
Third General, is this the time to talk about this?
Fortunately, although Zhang Fei was resentful, he did not neglect military intelligence and commanded his troops to withdraw from the battlefield quickly.
Seeing that the Han army was about to flee, the Wei generals in the rear, including Wang Ji, Xu Zhi, Hu Zun, and Wang Jing, hurriedly chased after them.
With the addition of Cao Zhang's cavalry, the Wei generals naturally did not want to miss the good opportunity to make merit!
Wang Jing was at the front.
Coming towards them was Guan Yu's swordsman.
Guan Yu has already set his sights on Wang Jing's Wei soldiers who are rushing in the front!
The Mo Dao, which is said to be able to defeat cavalry with infantry, combined with the momentum of a warhorse, has a chopping power that is unmatched by infantry combat.
The real people and horses were all shattered!
The Wei cavalry at the front were killed by Guan Yu along with their horses!
The visual impact of seeing the man and his horse cut in half by a single blow stunned the Wei soldiers in the rear.
What a divine power this is!
Wang Jing was also stunned by Guan Yu's sword!
Wang Jing can also cut a person in half with a single blow.
Being able to cut a man and a horse in half with one sword is definitely not something that can be done easily by human power!
"It's not divine power."
"It's a weapon!"
"The thief has the advantage of weapons!"
Wang Jing quickly made a judgment in his mind.
however.
Even if the weapon's advantage was seen through, Wang Jing had no way to deal with it.
because.
Guan Yu is not the only one who has the advantage of weapons!
Five hundred swordsmen, all of them have the advantage of weapons!
The cavalry had a strong impact force to begin with, and coupled with sharper weapons and greater chopping power, the soldiers in front of Wang Jing had no chance of even trying to match them!
The swordsmen dispersed Wang Jing's troops like chopping melons and vegetables!
Such power made Wang Jing terrified!
"Invincible!"
Wang Jing no longer cared about his face and turned around and ran away.
Guan Yu did not pursue Wang Jing, but instead set his target on Cao Zhang who was leading the cavalry in front.
Guan Yu’s purpose was not to kill a few young generals from aristocratic families.
Guan Yu's goal was to completely defeat Cao Zhang, the most skilled cavalry general under Cao Rui!
When Wang Jing saw Guan Yu going towards Cao Zhang, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he thought of the powerful weapons of Guan Yu's cavalry, Wang Jing's face showed a bit more fear.
"It happened!"
"The Bingzhou Mu will suffer!"
Wang Jing wanted to remind him, but it was very difficult to communicate in this cold weapon battlefield.
Cao Zhang would not allow Wang Jing to run over and break up the cavalry formation.
When Cao Zhang realized the uniqueness of Guan Yu's cavalry, the Bingzhou cavalry, which he was so proud of, had already been torn open by Guan Yu.
Guan Yu was like an indestructible sword, breaking Cao Zhang's cavalry formation abruptly and brutally!
No one can stop Guan Yu's sword!
No one can stop the knifeman's charge!
Cao Zhang was furious: "Xiahou Ba, you take charge!"
Cao Zhang handed over the command and dispatch of the troops to his deputy general Xiahou Ba, and was about to go to fight Guan Yu with a long spear.
If Cao Zhang could not stop Guan Yu's advance and was defeated by Guan Yu with a smaller force, he would be in great disgrace.
By cooperating with Zhang He in the ambush tonight, Cao Zhang had the great advantage of striking first.
If he couldn't even deal with Guan Yu's 500 cavalry, Cao Zhang would not be able to go back to see Zhang He.
The stage was set up, just waiting for the opportunity to become famous, and then a street performer counterattacked.
Doesn’t the governor of Bingzhou have any respect?
Xiahou Ba was also decisive. He took over Cao Zhang's command and dispatch authority and cooperated with Cao Zhang to encircle Guan Yu.
As long as the speed of Guan Yu's cavalry can be restricted so that they cannot use their horsepower to charge and penetrate, the advantage in military strength can be used to crush them.
however.
Neither Xiahou Ba nor Cao Zhang expected that the ferocity of Guan Yu's swordsmen was not only due to their excellent personal abilities, but also to their absolute advantage in weapons.
At the first confrontation, Cao Zhang's face changed drastically.
Guan Yu was born with supernatural powers and was proficient in riding. It is understandable that he was a rare enemy who could defeat thousands of people.
But how could ordinary school knifemen be so unbelievably ferocious?
Cao Zhang couldn't even knock the swordsman in front of him off his horse!
You know, Cao Zhang's strength is also extremely great.
If an ordinary cavalryman faced Cao Zhang head-on, he would be either killed or thrown off his horse!
But the swordsman in front of him, although blood was oozing from the corner of his mouth, was sitting steadily on his warhorse!
That ferocious smile made Cao Zhang somewhat unbelieving of what he saw.
"Nothing more than that!"
The school swordsman laughed sarcastically, instantly breaking Cao Zhang's defense.
How dare a mere pawn mock a great general!
After a moment's mistake, Cao Zhang vented his anger on the rest of the school swordmen.
But the reality shocked Cao Zhang even more!
A round of charge.
Cao Zhang was unable to kill even a single swordsman!
It’s not that the swordsman’s martial arts were comparable to Cao Zhang’s, but that the swordsman killed by Cao Zhang was still sitting firmly on the saddle, which made Cao Zhang’s judgment wrong.
In addition, the hundreds of elite cavalrymen following Cao Zhang were actually killed or wounded in this round of attack!
Such battle losses were hard for Cao Zhang to accept!
"This is impossible!"
"Where did Guan Yu find so many cavalrymen who are comparable to the generals?"
Cao Zhang's eyes widened.
What he saw before his eyes was something Cao Zhang’s army had never encountered in all those years.
A cavalry composed entirely of lieutenant generals?
What kind of nonsense is this!
"This cavalry has the advantage of weapons."
After his initial shock, Cao Zhang finally realized that something was wrong.
It’s not that every knife-wielding soldier on campus is invincible, but that knife-wielding soldiers on campus have sharper weapons!
While Cao Zhang was wondering, the sound of the bugle call changed.
Xiahou Ba, who was in charge of the deployment, immediately issued the order to "shoot on horseback".
Cao Zhang also reacted.
At the beginning, they relied on the ferocity of their cavalry and the fact that they were the last to be attacked, so they chose to use cavalry to intersperse and sprint.
Now that they can’t defeat Guan Yu in interspersed charges, they naturally have to make use of another tactical advantage of the cavalry.
The cavalry can not only fight in close combat, but also shoot arrows!
Seeing Cao Zhang change his tactics, Guan Yu just smiled contemptuously.
Want to ride and shoot?
Let’s stop the knifeman’s charge first!
Guan Yu charged forward with unstoppable ferocity, directly killing Cao Zhang's cavalry. Then.
After a brief reorganization of his troops, Guan Yu charged back again, completely ignoring Cao Zhang's cavalry and archery tactics.
If you want to shoot while riding, you have to be able to hit the target!
And on the periphery.
Wei generals Wang Jing, Hu Zun, Xu Zhi and Wang Ji joined forces.
The generals were also stunned by the ferocity and invincibility of Guan Yu's cavalry.
"Cao Bingzhou had several times more enemies, but they were defeated by Han dogs?"
"When did the Han dogs have such sharp weapons? If they were equipped on a large scale, even if Your Majesty really had an army of 500,000, it would be difficult to resist!"
"Damn it! It's clear that our plan tonight was more meticulous, so how could we be at a disadvantage?"
"This war is not a crime of war."
The Wei generals felt aggrieved and uncomfortable.
He clearly had the advantage in calculation, but in the end he was beaten half-crippled.
Zhuge Dan, Zhuge Xu, Wen Qin, and Sima Shi were all dead, and most of the noble sons of aristocratic families personally selected by Zhang He were also killed!
It is far-fetched to explain such losses simply by saying they were not caused by war.
"Strange, where did General Zuo go?" Wang Jing suddenly asked.
The fighting has been going on for most of the night, but Zhang He has not appeared yet.
Hu Zun looked at Wang Ji and Xu Zhi.
Both of them were the last to follow Zhang He.
Wang Ji shook his head and said, "I don't know where General Zuo is. I just asked one more question and was almost punished by military law by General Zuo."
Xu Zhi said: "Don't think too much. General Zuo has his own reasons for deploying troops, just like Cao Zhang's appearance here."
And in another place.
Chen Tai, who had fled from the battlefield, led his troops back to the main camp.
Just when he was halfway there, Chen Tai was blocked by an army.
"Chen Tai, why are you here?"
A cold voice sounded, and it was Zhang He who had not appeared yet.
Chen Tai's expression changed drastically: "General Zuo, why are you here?"
Zhang He stared at Chen Tai coldly: "Do I need to report to you where I am? But why did you withdraw from the battlefield?"
When Chen Tai saw Zhang He questioning him, he gritted his teeth and said, "General Zuo, Sima Shi is dead."
Zhang He's tone was filled with sarcasm: "Anyone can die in a battle. Just because Sima Shi is dead, do you not dare to fight?"
"The son of the Minister of Chancellery is actually afraid of fighting."
Chen Tai glanced around and lowered his voice: "General Zuo, can you make some allowance for today's matter?"
"Make concessions?" Zhang He shouted, "You deserted the battlefield, ruined my deployment, and caused us to suffer a disastrous defeat despite our advantage in encirclement. You want me to make concessions?"
"If I hadn't secretly asked Cao Bingzhou for help, the Han dogs would have killed the general and seized the flag tonight."
"As the son of the Minister of Chancellery, you broke the law knowingly, your crime is even more serious!"
"Somebody come!"
"Remove Chen Tai's armor, put him in the prisoner cart, and send him to Your Majesty for punishment!"
Chen Tai was horrified: "General Zuo, are you really going to arrest me?"
Zhang He shouted coldly: "I have committed a crime and I should be punished with caning. You have committed such a big mistake and almost caused our army to be defeated. Do you still want me to forgive you?"
Seeing that Zhang He was unwilling to show mercy, Chen Tai angrily yelled, "Zhang He, don't think I don't know what you are thinking!"
"You plotted to kill the nobles in the army, and you wanted to pin the blame on me so that my father could resign."
"Your tricks may deceive others but not me!"
"I'm going to meet His Majesty and expose your shameless plot!"
When Zhang He saw Chen Tai reveal the truth, he couldn't help but sneer: "Chen Tai, who would believe you when you say this?"
"Why did I kill the nobles in the army? I released false information to confuse Zhuge Qiao, and you took it seriously?"
"I have been the first to charge into battle since Emperor Wu was alive. I have earned my military merits and the title of Marquis through my bravery. How could I possibly collaborate with the enemy?"
"Not only did you desert the battlefield, you also slandered me. Even if Chen Qun came, I would have to question him face to face."
"What are you doing standing still?"
"If Chen Tai is arrested, he will be killed without mercy!"
Chen Tai saw that Zhang He was ready to kill him, and angrily threw down his weapon: "Zhang He, you won't be so proud for long!"
Zhang He warned his men, "Watch carefully. If Chen Tai dares to commit suicide out of fear of punishment, I will hold you responsible."
"Please record what I just said to Chen Tai. I will present it to His Majesty!"
After dealing with Chen Tai, Zhang He led his troops to the battlefield.
The current battlefield situation also surprised Zhang He.
"Cao Bingzhou can't win?"
When Wang Ji, Xu Zhi and other generals saw Zhang He coming, they all stepped forward.
After the generals explained one by one, Zhang He finally figured out why Cao Zhang could not win.
"I didn't expect Zhuge Qiao to have this trick up his sleeve!"
"I underestimated Zhuge Qiao!"
Zhang He felt emotional.
The plan formulated by Zhuge Ke was already quite perfect, and the appearance of Cao Zhang even amazed Zhang He.
Unexpectedly.
Such a deployment still cannot win!
After sighing for a moment, Zhang He asked about the casualties.
Upon learning that Sima Shi, Zhuge Dan, Zhuge Xu, and Wen Qin were killed in the battle, and most of the noble families in the army were killed, Zhang He's face showed even more sadness.
"It was because I was incompetent in commanding the troops that I harmed the generals!"
"I have no face to see your majesty again."
Zhang He drew his sword and pretended to commit suicide.
Wang Ji hurriedly stopped him and said, "General Zuo, you can't do that. It's not that General Zuo's plan failed, it's that the Han dogs' weapons are too powerful!"
"Furthermore, Chen Tai's escape from the battlefield disrupted General Zuo's deployment, otherwise Zhang Fei and Jiang Wei would definitely not have been able to escape!"
Wang Jing was even more furious: "General Zuo, I had surrounded Jiang Wei, but Chen Tai fled and disrupted my troops."
"This thief is unworthy of being the son of the Minister of Chancellery. We are willing to testify for General Zuo and make sure Chen Tai is punished!"
Because Chen Tai ran away, Wang Jing was almost chopped to death by Zhang Fei, and he had a lot of resentment in his heart.
Zhang He realized that his goal had been achieved, so he stopped pretending.
"Although Cao Bingzhou has several times more troops than the enemy, Guan Yu's weapons are too powerful to be defeated."
"Sound the retreat!"
"If Cao Bingzhou is destroyed here, I will be even more blameworthy!"
Zhang He immediately issued the military order.
Tonight's plan has basically been accomplished. Although it did not meet expectations, with Chen Tai as the scapegoat, Zhang He can stay out of it.
Sima Shi was dead, and Chen Tai was about to be brought to justice.
The two outsiders among the regents left by Cao Pi posed no threat to Cao Rui at all.
Most of the noble families related to big families such as Sima Shi and Chen Qun were killed or injured, and the rest could not make any waves.
As for the soldiers and horses lost tonight, Zhang He didn't care.
As long as Cao Rui can be satisfied, it doesn't matter if some soldiers are lost. It's not like we can't afford to die.
Hearing the sound of the horn, Cao Zhang withdrew his cavalry in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
Guan Yu did not pursue and also withdrew from the battlefield.
Seeing Zhang He, Cao Zhang felt ashamed: "General Zuo, the Han dogs are very skilled in armor, I——"
Zhang He stopped Cao Zhang from speaking and said, "Mr. Cao, it was my plan that failed, not your fault."
"When you see your majesty, I will take full responsibility." (End of this chapter)
