After galloping for several miles, Wen Qin and the others saw that the smoke in the sky was thicker, and there was no strong direction, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing, there was no doubt that there was a fierce battle happening ahead, and it was really an accident with the southern army.

Wen Qin ordered the Xiao cavalry battalion to rush to Wuqiangkou quickly, saving soldiers is like fighting a fire, this is not the time to consider what physical strength distribution, Xiao cavalry battalion can rush to Wuqiangkou quickly, maybe it can save the lives of a few more Wei soldiers.

The distance of more than ten miles is just a matter of time for the cavalry, not to mention that the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is advancing at full speed at the moment, so soon the Xiao Cavalry Battalion has already arrived outside the Wuqiang Mouth.

"Damn!" Wen Qin saw that a large number of black-clothed troops were gathered at Wuqiang Gukou, and the banner of Eastern Wu was also fluttering, he couldn't help but be furious, and it was only one or two hours after being separated from the southern army, and it was actually exploited by the Wu people, which was really hateful.

Looking at this formation, it is clear that the Wu army had already set up an ambush at Wuqiangkou, and after waiting for the southern army to escort the grain and grass into Wuqiangkou, the Wu army's ambush troops were exhausted, and the southern army and the grain and grass trucks were all blocked in Wuqiangkou.

Presumably, the besieged Zhengnan army was in an extremely difficult situation, otherwise they would not have lit wolf smoke to ask for help, Wen Qin ordered the cavalry battalion to immediately line up in an attacking formation and prepare to attack.

The arrival of the Wei cavalry, Liuzan also quickly got the news, the Wu army that originally blocked the valley mouth was divided into two, to block the Wei army's breakthrough internally, and to guard against the attack of the Wei cavalry externally, these two tasks are equally heavy, and that one cannot be relaxed.

However, relatively speaking, it is still a headache to deal with the cavalry, Liuzan is under the Xiaocai battalion, but he has suffered hardships, so this time he was ordered to blockade Wuqiangkou, and the only thing Liuzan is afraid of is the Wei army Xiaocai battalion.

Therefore, as soon as Liuzan occupied Wuqiangkou, he specially dispatched 2,000 pikemen to deal with the potential danger of the Wei cavalry.

Liuzan wanted to find Cao Liang in the chaos of the army, but unfortunately the scene was too chaotic, he spent a lot of effort to kill a number of Wei soldiers, and finally saw no trace of Cao Liang, and couldn't help but retreat in a huff.

As soon as he retreated, he heard the news of the attack of the Wei cavalry, and Liuzan suddenly thought of the fire and smoke set by the Wei army, and dared to love this thing to recruit the Wei cavalry, but what made him a little puzzled was that the Wei cavalry had come too quickly, this side had just started the fire, and it didn't take long for the cavalry over there to descend from the sky, these guys were afraid that they didn't come by the wind, right?

However, Liuzan didn't have the heart to think about this carefully, his top priority was how to block the onslaught of the Wei cavalry and hold the defense line of Wuqiang Gukou.

Two thousand pikemen were already in full formation, and on the mouth of the valley as wide as a mile, a long spear formation was discharged, and the tips of the spears were denser than the thorns of a hedgehog.

In order to be more secure, Guo Liuzan dispatched 2,000 archers and sword and shield soldiers to back up the pikemen and assist the pikemen to hold this line of defense, which also made this gun forest not only full of sharpness, but also added a lot of thickness.

The cavalry battalion quickly discharged an offensive spindle formation, similar to a spindle when weaving, with a thinner head and tail and a slightly thicker middle, compared to the one-line attack formation, this formation also used the central breakthrough to reduce the threat of enemy archers when attacking.

In the hammer head position, it is naturally the strongest combat effectiveness, the best at attacking the troops, this time Shi Bao and Deng Ai took the initiative to ask Ying to fight, Wen Qin thought about it, and agreed to their request, so the vanguard of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion was served by Shi Bao and Deng Ai, two other Simas.

Wen Qin gave an order, and the iron cavalry of the Xiao cavalry battalion rumbled and began to attack the position of the Wu army.

The speed of the war horse at first was not too fast, after running for a while, it began to enter the full speed of galloping, Shi Bao and Deng Ai were worried about Cao Liang's safety, at this moment they were even more like flying, hating and not being able to give birth to wings, and flew directly to the front of the formation.

The cavalry battalion and the Wu army are only two or three arrows apart, and the Wu army's spear array on the opposite side is clearly visible, if the war horse gallops at such a high speed, if you want to break through the Wu army's gun array, you must pay a relatively large price, at least the men and horses in the front row, the casualties will be very heavy.

Since Deng Ai and Shi Bao took the initiative to be the vanguard, they naturally didn't want to use their flesh and blood to shake the spear formation of the Wu army, this attack, they prepared a shield and three throwing guns for each of their subordinates, the shields were to guard against the bows and arrows of the Wu army, and the throwing guns were specially designed to destroy the enemy's spear formation.

This "secret weapon" that the cavalry battalion has never used is actually researched by Cao Liang, once when Cao Liang and Shi Bao Deng Ai discussed the battle formation, Shi Bao Deng Ai was worried about the cavalry breaking through the enemy's spear formation.

The spear formation itself is a defensive formation adopted by the infantry in order to restrain the cavalry, this formation, to the greatest extent, can protect the infantry from the impact of the cavalry, and it is also one of the few effective means for the infantry to deal with the cavalry for a long time.

So Cao Liang proposed a new way of playing, that is, to equip the cavalry with special throwing guns, implement medium-distance projection, and project the throwing guns in his hands into the enemy formation when they are close to the enemy's spear array dozens of steps away.

Although pikemen can defend against cavalry onslaught, their defense against medium and long-range projectile attacks is relatively weak. In fact, the most effective means to deal with spear formation is mounted archery, but at this stage, the cavalry is not equipped with bilateral stirrups and high bridge saddles, most of the weapons used by the cavalry are one-handed weapons, and the other hand needs to control the reins of the war horse, so mounted archery is not realized at all, because it will involve a new class of troops - archers.

So Cao Liang compromised and let the cavalry be equipped with a throwing spear - a spear that is shorter and lighter than ordinary spears, the tip of the spear is made as sharp as possible, and the handle of the gun is made of a slender wooden handle, which is convenient for the cavalry to hold with one hand.

The lightest throwing spear is heavier than the bow and arrow, and the spear head is larger and sharper than the arrow, so the destructive power of the throwing gun will be much higher than that of the bow and arrow, and of course the range will be much shorter.

The general bow and arrow can shoot more than 100 steps, there is no idiom called 100 steps through Yang, and the distance of the gun is only about 50 steps or even shorter, but the damage caused by the gun is not comparable to the bow and arrow.

This time Panshibud and Deng Ai went into battle, bringing a throwing gun improved by Cao Liang.
