The Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 392
Tai Shici didn't care about the pursuers, he was hanging at the back of the line. If Zhou Yu's cavalry approached, he would turn around and fight, but he didn't like to fight.

In this way, Tai Shici, who was fighting and running, slipped away directly, and Zhou Yu didn't dare to let his cavalry chase too far because he was afraid of an ambush.

Zhou Yu watched Tai Shici run away in a little embarrassment, not only did not have the excitement of winning, but frowned.

"This Oriental boy is very calculating!" Zhou Yu sighed secretly.

Jiang Qin, who was at the side, was a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "Why does the general sigh like this? I think that Tai Shici is a villain who betrayed his master and begged for glory, so he would not dare to fight the general."

Zhou Yu stared at Jiang Qin for a while and said: "Tai Shici's actions must have been directed by Dongfang Xiaoer, and he harassed us immediately after that, and it would definitely cause trouble for our army. If Tai Shici often harassed us later, wait for us In Wan County, I am afraid that it is already a tired army."

"The Dongfang boy bullied us too much!" Jiang Qin scolded angrily: "If the villain Tai Shici dares to come again, I will teach him whether to come back or not!"

Zhou Yu smiled and didn't show anything else. He understood why Jiang Qin was so annoyed.

There are three forces in Sun Quan's current camp: the Huaisi generals who control the entire Jiangdong upper-level power, and this part of the generals includes Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Jiang Qin and Tai Shici.Then came the descendants of the gentry who came in exile from the north, led by Zhang Zhao. Although Zhang Zhao was not well-known in the Romance, his power in actual history was greater than that of Zhou Yu. It can be said that he and Sun Quan are now The relationship is the same as the relationship between Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan later.

Taishi Ci's rebellion was naturally condemned by General Huaisi, and they urgently needed to defeat Taishi Cixiao and his head to prove their loyalty.

But Zhou Yu doesn't want to pay attention to these things now. After all, the most important thing right now is to defeat Dongfang Sheng. Otherwise, Jingzhou borders Jiangdong. Once Jingzhou is captured, Jiangdong will be in danger.

Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't react too much, Jiang Qin felt a little upset, but he didn't show it, but turned around to discuss with Huang Gai and the others.

"Send the order, speed up!" Zhou Yu said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Boy Dongfang, you underestimate me, right?"

Dongfang Sheng, who was guarding outside the city of Wan County, sneezed several times for no reason, and immediately started cursing: "That bastard scolded me behind my back."

After scolding, Dongfang Sheng suddenly felt his nose itch and stopped sneezing.

In the past few days, Dongfang Sheng has adopted an attitude of encircling rather than attacking Liu Bei. This invisible pressure has made Liu Bei miserable.

On the one hand, Liu Bei wanted Zhang Fei to lead his troops to suppress those rich merchants and nobles, so that they would be tied to the same boat as him;

And after Zhou Yu saw Dongfang Sheng's plan, he set up an ambush several times to destroy Tai Shici, but it was a pity that Tai Shici ran away every time.

In this way, Tai Shici dragged Zhou Yu's [-] troops to the outskirts of Wan County. Of course, this was also a situation that both parties liked.

Tai Shici is about to complete the task of luring the enemy, while Zhou Yu is about to go to Wan County to rescue Liu Bei. It can be said that everyone takes what they need.

As soon as Tai Shici came back, Dongfang Sheng asked him to go back to the camp to rest, and all the cavalry who came back alive with Tai Shici were promoted to a rank.

Zhou Yu had already made a gauntlet against Dongfang Sheng, and Dongfang Sheng immediately spread the news to Wan County when he received Zhou Yu's gauntlet.

After hearing the news, Liu Bei in Wanxian City was in a mixed mood. If Zhou Yu won, the siege of Wanxian County would naturally be broken this time.But if Zhou Yu loses, then he will be completely finished.

Dongfang Sheng mobilized Badao and Tuobahan to prepare to deal with Zhou Yu.

This time Dongfang Sheng brought [-] soldiers and horses, [-] newly trained troops, [-] fine cavalry from Tuobahan, and [-] heavy cavalry brought by Wang Hu from Yizhou.

The two thousand heavy armored cavalry were the protagonists of this battle. In order to conceal the arrival of the heavy armored cavalry, Dongfang Shengmi ordered Wang Hu to dismantle the heavy armor and transport them separately to the periphery of Wan County.

And no one knows Wang Hu's whereabouts, except Dongfang Sheng.

After he arrived at the barracks, Badao and Tuobahan got the news of the arrival of the heavy cavalry.

In the early morning of the next day, Dongfang Sheng was wearing a new type of armor, the red rabbit horse under his crotch was full of energy, and the blood in his hand was sharp and ferocious.

Behind him is an army composed of several phalanxes, arranged neatly and consistently, and the spirit of each army is very full of fighting spirit.

Tuobahan's cavalry was still on both sides, but Wang Hu's heavy armored cavalry was not seen.

Zhou Yu on the opposite side is not inferior, with a white armor and a white war horse under his crotch, he looks like a refined demeanor.

Behind Zhou Yu were [-] Jiangdong soldiers. The same infantry formed a square formation, and the cavalry protected the two wings. Of course, Zhou Yu's square formation had more shields and archers, which was for the needs of the formation.

The military formation is extremely difficult to practice. During the Three Kingdoms period, the military formation reached its peak. The well-known Zhuge Liang's gossip formation is a very powerful military formation.

Shieldmen, archers, axemen, cavalry and other arms in the army are mixed together, and follow the unified command of the general to make various corresponding changes in movements, so that the enemies trapped in the town cannot escape until they are wiped out.

Although the military formation is powerful, its shortcomings are also quite obvious. One is that the military formation is extremely difficult to train. It is very difficult to train all types of arms such as shield players, archers, and axemen together, and it takes a lot of money to train the military formation. A lot of time and energy.

The other most fatal weakness of the military formation is that the enemy needs to enter the formation to play left and right, and the military formation cannot take the initiative to attack. In other words, if the enemy does not enter the formation on the periphery, it is useless even if you set up a lore formation.

It is precisely because of this shortcoming of the military formation that in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, the military formation was gradually eliminated, and the cavalry was used to assist the infantry.

Dongfang Sheng also directly gave up the idea of ​​​​training the military formation because he knew the disadvantages of the military formation.

The wind was blowing and the flag was fluttering. Dongfang Sheng saw that there were no generals on the opposite side of Zhou Yu worthy of his own shot. He gave an order and rushed over directly.

Tuobahan was the first to react, and the eight thousand elite riders on both wings swarmed out like ants, and the ground trembled slightly.

And then the army behind Dongfang Sheng also moved, the entire phalanx was moving, walking in neat steps, the sound of those cha-cha steps even overshadowed the sound of Tuobahan's horseshoes.
