Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 153 Confucian General Xie Ai

Chapter 158 Confucian General Xie Ai

Xie Ai served as the governor of Jiuquan for two years. Jiuquan is where the Qiang, Rong and Di tribes gather. In fact, the Qiang people are far from perfect as recorded in the history books. They are more exclusive and prefer to fight fiercely.

Xie Ai presided over Jiuquan, and his trilogy did not lack bloody battles with the armies of the Qiang, Di, Rong, Yuedi, Gaoche, Dingling and other tribes.

Facing the Wei army waiting in full battle, the crossbow arrows flashed a gloomy cold light, but these cavalry were all full of fighting spirit.

Within three hundred steps, Chen Yong swung his raised right hand fiercely, and shouted, "Fire the arrow!"

Thousands of horse crossbows made a sound like rags being torn, and then the crossbow arrows flashed with cold light, and shot at the galloping cavalry of the Liang army.

The hundreds of cavalry who rushed the fastest were instantly shot into hedgehogs.

The forward soldiers were attacked by crossbows, Zhang Zheng remained expressionless, and continued to shout: "Rush, rush up! Kill the Wei army!"

According to Zhang Zheng's understanding, the infantry's crossbows are only the most powerful in the first wave. Although the crossbows are powerful, they are reloaded very slowly. Avoiding this wave of blows, the crossbows do not have time to reload the crossbows, so they can use them The saber in his hand slashed fiercely on the heads of the soldiers of the Wei army.

"Kill!" The cavalry of the Liang army at the back gave way to the fallen comrades in front and continued to attack the Wei army, but something happened that Zhang Zheng would never forget in his life. The cavalrymen who attacked in the second wave were either shot into hedgehogs or shot off their horses, and the cavalry behind them stepped up and trampled the Liang army cavalry who had fallen from their horses into flesh.

There were two waves of attacking cavalry before and after, almost five or six hundred people, but the Wei army did not even rush in at a distance of a hundred steps.

Zhang Zheng looked at the group of Wei army infantry in the east and the west, and he was puzzled.

In fact, the oblique shooting area is far more lethal than the frontal shooting area.

Zhang Zheng saw that more than half of his troops were casualties, and the other Liang army soldiers showed no fear on their faces, but Zhang Zheng showed a look of embarrassment.

He wanted to rearrange his troops and prepare to charge again, but when the soldiers of the Wei army saw the cavalry retreating, they immediately advanced slowly and advanced as a whole.

As long as the Liang army turned around to attack, they would deploy defenses on the spot and use the crossbow to kill the Liang army back.

Not only did Zhang Zheng fight more and more difficultly, but Zhang Hao's main force also fell into a dilemma.

When he attacked the so-called grain truck, he lost nearly a thousand pieces.Now of his 3000 troops, there are less than [-] troops left, and the casualties are close to half!
The cavalry is a very aggressive army, and Zhang Hao also knew that he should not passively defend. Every attack was unfavorable. When he retreated, the Wei army on both sides rolled towards the middle at the same time.

Zhang Hao didn't react at first, but now he finally understands that Wei Jun is taking advantage of their advantages in numbers and weapons to crush their movement space.

In the beginning, the cavalry of the Liang army could move within a radius of five or six miles. If it weren't for the casualties of more than two thousand soldiers and horses, they would not even have the distance for the horses to run.

Seeing Wei Jun's intentions clearly, Zhang Hao became angry, and he ordered with a livid face: "The whole army obeys the order, we are the elite of the Great Liang Kingdom, and now we have fallen into Wei Jun's tricks. If we wait for Wei Jun to continue to crush us, We have only one dead end, if we don’t want to die, we must break out, the whole army obeys orders, concentrate all soldiers and horses to attack westward, attack!”

Zhang Hao had suffered enough from the Wei army's eight-ox crossbows and return cannons. If they broke through to the east, they would fill in with all these soldiers and horses, and I'm afraid it would not be enough for the Wei army to shoot and kill.

The fierce battle began, and the battle between Zhang Mao and the trapped beasts of the Liang army broke out all its potential.

Chen Yong said: "Brothers, the Liang army has begun to fight desperately, and we will admit it! For the sake of Wei, for His Highness, we will fight to the end!"

"Blood battle to the end!"

"Xuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuusuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, a Liangjun cavalryman was shot at hedgehogs, and then fell off his horse, but it did not cause the Liangjun cavalryman's charge, and countless horseshoes rushed towards him. A piece of bright red.Liang Jun's corpse turned into blood, flesh and mud, completely fused with the earth.

Then countless Liang army cavalry fell to the horses like dumplings, but the momentum of the Liang army's charge remained undiminished, and they continued to charge!

Heart-piercing screams sounded, Zhang Hao's eyes widened, his teeth bit his lips tightly, because the bite was too hard, blood poured into his mouth, Zhang Hao swallowed it into his stomach without hesitation.

At this time, his heart was bleeding. These soldiers were the only elite troops in the Liang army. They did not die on the battlefield against the Qiang, Di, and Rong Zhuhu, but died on the Guanzhong Plain far away from Liang.

Zhang Hao didn't know why Xie Ai sent troops to support Qin, but as a lieutenant general, he just strictly followed orders!

There is no mercy, no sympathy, only bloody killings.

At this time, the Wei army was like a god of death, reaping the lives of the Liang army cavalry.

The two armies met on a narrow road, and the brave won. The Liang army's cavalry rushed desperately and it was not in vain. At least they paved a road with their corpses. The famous crossbowman was instantly overwhelmed by the cavalry of the Liang army!

Then the second team, after a stick of incense, disappeared in the sequence of the Wei army begging the thief army.

Liu Ke sighed, and came to Chen Yong and said, "Elder brother, the enemy rushed too hard, and we lost too much in this way of blocking, and more than 200 people were killed or injured in just a quarter of an hour. If the army is wiped out, we will also suffer heavy losses!"

How could Chen Yong not understand this truth.

Chen Yong said: "This battle plan was formulated by our mentor, we can only resolutely implement the order of our mentor!"

Liu Ke said: "We can open a hole and let the Liang army rush in. We will shoot them from the left and right sides, and there will be great results!"

Chen Yong said: "You don't understand, Liang's army is all cavalry. If we let them open their mouths, they will disappear from our eyes within a stick of incense (5 minutes) at most!"

Liu Ke thought for a while and said: "The teacher's order is to severely damage the Liang army. Now the Liang army has lost more than two-thirds of its troops. Our mission has been completed. Besides, the Liang army is no better than us. They lack military doctors and not many medicines." , I am afraid that nearly half of these wounded will die. Even if they let go, the number of Liang soldiers who can escape will not exceed 1000. Moreover, our enemy this time is not only Xie Ai, but also Fu Jian and Huan Wen. It's all gone, what can the mentor use to fight Huan Wen and Fu Jian again?"

Chen Yong considered for a long time, and had to agree with Liu Ke's opinion.

As Chen Yong waved his command flag, Wei Jun's encirclement circle gave way to a gap about three or four hundred paces wide and three miles deep.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Hao immediately shouted: "Quick, pass at full speed, don't get entangled with them, we can't afford any more losses!"

Zhang Hao was extremely depressed at this time. He originally wanted to be a hunter in this battle, but who would have thought that he would become a delicacy in others' mouths.

A big defeat, the loss is too great.

How are you fighting in the back?With such a big loss here, it will be very difficult to fight Wei Jun in the future.What about Xie Ai?
This is not the country of Liang. They are fighting away from the mainland. There are only [-] soldiers, and every death is one less. There is no replenishment at all.The last elite army of Liang country was lost in his own hands, so he is the sinner of Liang country through the ages.

Once the [-] elite cavalry were lost, he really didn't dare to think about the result. He was afraid that if they were defeated, the Qiang and Di people who had finally conquered would start to move around.

At a depth of five miles, the Liang army dropped at least [-] corpses and finally broke out.

Before Zhang Hao had time to breathe a sigh of relief, the breakthrough felt a bit wrong.

The grains of sand on the ground began to dance.He looked back and saw a large cloud of dust and smoke rising from behind the Wei army. As a cavalry general, he knew that there were at least four or five thousand cavalry galloping just by looking at the momentum behind him.

If they hadn't been ambushed by Wei Jun's despicable tactics, Zhang Hao would never be afraid of only four or five thousand cavalry.But now, including the wounded, there are only a few thousand people around him.Moreover, when breaking through, countless cavalry soldiers had no bows and arrows in their hands. With only the sword in their hands, how could a tired army fight a bloody battle with the Wei army cavalry who had recharged their batteries!
"It's over, it's over!" Zhang Hao gritted his teeth, and said to Zhang Zheng, who was covered in blood, "Now the command of the troops is in your hands. I will lead the people to the rear and tell General Xie, Mao, I didn't embarrass him!"

Wei Jun originally had no cavalry, but with Wang Zhuo's refuge, Ran Ming also had [-] cavalry in his hands.

When formulating this ambush plan, be prepared for the Liang army's dog to step on the wall. As long as they break through, the Wei army may not be able to stop them.

Cavalry has this advantage against infantry. If they win, they can win a big victory, and if they lose, they can retreat completely.

Even when Ran Min played against Murong Ke, although he could defeat Murong Ke ten times, he was unable to severely injure Murong Ke.There is no way, two legs cannot catch up with four legs.

However, Wang Zhuo had just defected to him, and Ran Ming didn't want to be called a ungrateful and ungrateful person, and he had spelled out all his songs. Who would dare to defect to him in the future?

So Ran Ming told Wang Zhuo to send troops to follow the Wei army, and the distance is only thirty or fifty miles away.If the Wei army is victorious, he can be dispatched to participate in the pursuit. If the Wei army is defeated, he can withdraw from the battlefield.

As soon as Wang Zhuo got the news of the defeat of the Liang army, he immediately led his army to come, only to meet the Liang army retreating!

Youdao took advantage of his illness to kill him. Wang Zhuo would not give up this opportunity to beat a dog in the water.

Five thousand cavalrymen of the King's army held high the banner of the Wei army and rushed towards Zhang Mao!

It might be possible for Zhang Hao to resist the infantry of the Wei army at this time, but in the face of five thousand cavalry who are full of murderous intent, his hundreds of wounded soldiers are simply not enough to look at.Zhang Mao's soul burst out: "I will die!"

At this critical moment, the Liang army cavalry suddenly turned around and came back.When he met Zhang Zheng, Zhang Mao yelled, "Why are you still coming back? If you can run away, you are the only one!"

Zhang Zheng pointed to the back and said, "The general is here!"

Zhang Hao looked to the rear, four horses pulled a chariot, and a white-robed scribe was sitting on the chariot, the white-robed scribe was Xie Ai!
