The last three kingdoms

Chapter 269
For Lu Kang, rushing into the battle is obviously not good for the Wu army. What's worse is that the Wu army has not been able to take Luocheng now, and they have to back the city to form an array. It is impossible for the Shu army and the Wei army to form a tacit understanding, and attack the Wu army from the inside and the outside, thus avoiding the danger of being attacked by the enemy.

If Lu Kang chooses to retreat now, it is the most reasonable from a security point of view. The Wu army can temporarily avoid the edge of the Wei army and choose to camp in a place with suitable terrain.However, Lu Kang was unwilling. Retreating would mean giving up Luocheng, or even giving up fighting for Chengdu. Traveling a hundred miles and half ninety, this was unacceptable to Lu Kang anyway.

Since Zhonghui wants to fight, let's do it!

Although it is said that the Wu army is very tired now, the Wei army is also very tired. The Wenshan Road is extremely steep, and Zhong Hui can lead the army to Luocheng so quickly. The forced march of at least a hundred miles a day is inevitable. Wei Jun's physical strength should have reached its limit. Like Wu Jun, he is at the end of his battle, and there is no question of who has the upper hand.

Now the two armies of Wu and Wei are fighting for will, and the combat power and equipment are second. Lu Kang left Zhang Xianyin's army to continue the offensive against Luocheng, and the rest of the army all lined up to fight.

Zhong Hui also didn't expect that the Wu army would be blocked under the city of Luocheng. It stands to reason that the Shu army's garrison strength in Luocheng would not be large. The defender is definitely not someone who is waiting for nothing. With few opponents, he can fight so impressively, at least he is also a well-known general among the generals of Shu.

However, Zhong Hui is not concerned about who is the defender of Luocheng. What he cares more about is that this defender undoubtedly created an opportunity for him. If Lu Kang captures Luocheng at this time, then Zhonghui will be very passive.Now that the Wei and Wu armies are both under the city, the opportunities have become equal, and geographically speaking, the Wei army seems to have the advantage of the high ground.

That's why Zhong Hui ignored the exhaustion of the army and immediately ordered the Wei army to change into a battle formation and launch a full-scale attack on the Wu army under the city of Luocheng.

The Wei army traveled from Wenshan Road, winding all the way for hundreds of miles. At this time, those who arrived in Luoxian County were only the vanguard troops, which were inferior to the Wu army in terms of strength, but the vanguard troops of the Wei army were mainly cavalry. Winning ten steps, the reason why Zhong Hui dared to attack brazenly in the situation of inferior numbers and disorganized army was that he relied on the superiority of Wei's cavalry. In the plain battle, Wei's powerful cavalry was invincible.

Sure enough, the Wei army deployed powerful cavalry in the main attack position of the central army, while on the left and right wings, Pang Hui and Hu Lie each led an infantry phalanx to attack.

Wu Jun and Wei Jun fought many times in Jingzhou and Jianghuai. Naturally, they know the power of Wei Jun's cavalry, so they also summed up some experience in the formation of troops. Although cavalry is the king of field battles, it is almost impossible for infantry to defeat cavalry Yes, the mobility of the cavalry is too strong, even if they can't beat the horse and go away, the infantry can only sigh in despair.However, infantry can also be invincible if the tactics are used reasonably and properly.

When dealing with cavalry, the most taboo is a scattered formation. Scattered soldiers are almost vulnerable to the impact of cavalry. Only infantry form a square formation and use dense spears to build a solid line of defense, which can effectively resist cavalry. At the same time, supplemented by crossbowmen for long-range strikes, it still has a certain lethality against cavalry.

Seeing the cavalry of the Wei army gathered, Lu Kang immediately ordered the infantry to form a long spear formation, with the spearmen in front and the bow and crossbowmen behind, waiting in full force. Two infantry phalanxes.

The offensive of the cavalry of the Wei Army began quickly. On the front line about two or three miles wide, there were golden spears and iron horses galloping like a rainbow. , issued a deafening roar, and the whole earth seemed to be trembling.

"Fire the arrows!" Seeing that the cavalry of the Wei Army had already received the bows and crossbows, the general in charge of the archers immediately ordered the arrows to attack in a loud voice. It flew over the top of the formation, drew arcs, and shot at the rapidly approaching Wei army cavalry.

The cavalry of the Wei army lacked heavy armor protection. The main defense against bows and arrows was the shield in their hands. However, the area of ​​the shield is limited after all. It is a person who is turned on his back.

But the light cavalry also has the advantage of the light cavalry, that is, the speed is fast enough. The archers of the Wu army only shot one or two arrows each, and the cavalry of the state of Wei rushed up like a whirlwind.

Although the phalanx of spears caused terrible damage to the cavalry, the cavalry in the first attack position directly crashed into the forest of spears, and the sharp spears pierced through the bodies of the knights and horses, but also tore the formation of spears apart a hole.

The follow-up cavalry rushed forward continuously, and the long and sharp spears kept harvesting the lives of Wu soldiers, and the two sides fell into a bitter battle.

Different from the bloody and cruel scene on the main battlefield in the middle, the infantry phalanx on the right led by Pang Hui was slowly advancing, and had not yet come into contact with the left-wing troops of the Wu army.

Pang Hui's right-hand army was the closest to Luocheng, and he could even see the back of the Wu army attacking the city.

Pang Hui suddenly had a thought, and ordered the scout, "Go, find out who the Shu general who guards the city is?"

The scouts quickly found out, because there was a big banner on the top of Luocheng, which could be seen clearly, and it said "Han Shouting Houguan" on it.The scout reported back to Pang Hui and said, "Report to General Pang, the Shu general who guards the city is Guan Yi, Marquis of Hanshouting."

In Pang Hui's eyes, a cold light flashed, it was really hard to find nowhere to go, and it took no effort to get it.

In the Battle of Fancheng, Guan Yu flooded the seven armies, Cao Bing was defeated, the leader general Jin and the vanguard Pang De were both captured, Yu Jin bowed his knees in order to survive, but Pang De was righteous and generous, and was killed by Guan Yu.

Pang Hui was only a few years old when his father died, but the seeds of hatred took root in his young heart. His greatest wish in life was to kill his enemies and avenge his father's blood.But time flies, more than 40 years have passed in a blink of an eye, Pang Hui has also reached the year of knowing his destiny, but the matter of revenge is far away. Originally, he thought that he would not have the opportunity to avenge his father in his lifetime, but Zhong Huifa But Shu ignited his hope again.But in Luo County, Pang Hui suddenly discovered that the distance between him and his sworn enemy was so close.
