Chapter 449 Liu Chan commanded

Ma Chao ordered to the leaders of the Qiang people: "I have taken Guguan, leave the battlefield immediately, go to Guguan, and help Wei Guo in the past, Your Majesty wants to see you after the war." If anyone dares to leave without permission, to do evil, or to plunder the people, don't blame me for destroying him. ”

"Let's go back now!"

"Obey the general's orders!"

"Come back with me, sons!"

After listening to Ma Chao's words, a group of Qiang leaders took their soldiers and horses to Guguan.

At this moment, Guguan has been taken by the Han army.

After Liu Chan guessed how Xiahou said he would use his troops, he discussed with the generals how to deal with Xiahou Cheng.

First of all, Liu Chan led the cavalry to form a round formation to resist Xiahou, saying that this was mainly to delay time. During the battle with Xiahou, Ma Chao and Pang De led a thousand heavily armored cavalry and 10,000 foot soldiers to make a detour to Guguan, Ma Chao led the cavalry to kill the Qiang people, and Pang De went to capture Guguan.

The reason why Ma Chao used the javelin just now was to remind the Qiang people of his horror ten years ago, and sure enough, even if there were only a thousand people, as soon as the javelin came out and the hat was taken off, the Qiang people did not dare to be an enemy with it.

However, the Qiang people were a trouble on the battlefield after all, Ma Chao did not let them help him deal with the Wei army, after all, the Wei State had ruled Liangzhou for more than ten years, and the two Taishou Zhang Ji and Xu Miao were both outstanding people, and they were both powerful to the Qiang people, and received the hearts of the Qiang people, so the Qiang people would come to help the Wei State.

And although he Ma Chao has a high prestige among the Qiang people, after all, he has not communicated for ten years, and it is the limit that he can force the Qiang people to surrender at this moment, and if they are allowed to deal with the Wei army, it may cause the opposite effect.

So Ma Chao asked the Qiang people to return to Guguan, and at this moment Pang De had already taken the ancient pass, and Pang De looked at the Qiang people, and they didn't dare to do anything wrong.

Because Pang De also has a great prestige among the Qiang people, only a little less than Ma Chao.

The Qiang people came to fight, and the grain and grass were provided by the Wei army, and if they wanted to go back to the tribe, there was no food or grass on the way, so they could only return to Guguan.

If you go back without permission and rely on plundering the people on the way to replenish food and grass, you can only find death, and when the Han army pacifies Liangzhou, they will definitely be destroyed.

These Qiang leaders are not stupid, so they can only return to Guguan honestly.

Seeing the Qiang people heading in the direction of Guguan, Ma Chao breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not lead his troops to the battlefield, but returned to the rear and led a thousand soldiers and horses to line up on the road to Guguan to prevent the Wei army from escaping.

In the Han army array, all the generals were overjoyed when they saw the Qiang people retreating: "Great, the Qiang people have retreated!" ”

"Take the stage with me!"

Seeing this, Liu Chan took down two small flags from his horse and walked towards the high platform behind.

E Huan, Pang Tong and many generals also followed.

Commanding cavalry combat is not trivial, originally the most suitable person is Ma Chao, but Ma Chao needs to perform other tasks, so the command of the matter falls on Liu Chan, as for Pang Tong, he is good at strategy, for the command of the battle, infantry combat is good, but the cavalry is not very good.

The high platform is a temporary construction, about two zhang high, Liu Chan stands on the high platform, Pang Tong and E Huan stand beside him, they surround Liu Chan in the middle, mainly because they are afraid of stray arrows, and the dark arrow hurts Liu Chan.

Standing on a high platform, you can see the situation of the battlefield below, and you can see the situation more thoroughly than on the flat ground.

The defense of the circular array of Liu Chan's army, the Wei army still did not break through, and in the south of the circular array, more than 10,000 light cavalry archers composed of Wei soldiers were still releasing arrows.

On the north side is the heavy cavalry led by Xiahou Cheng, but they are scattered at the moment, and the original cone formation can no longer be maintained.

As for the east and west sides, there was no enemy attack.

Liu Chan groaned slightly, and waved the two flags in the east and west directions, playing a unique flag language that only the Han army could understand.

Liu Chan waved a few times, only to see that in the formation below, the circle array in the east and west directions suddenly opened, revealing a formation path, in the circle array, the two phalanxes suddenly moved, I don't know when, Wei Yanchen and the two came to the front of these two phalanxes, leading the two phalanxes.

These two phalanxes were heavy cavalry phalanxes, each with 3,000 men, and the army array rode out of the original formation, and in the process of marching, slowly turned into a cone marching formation. Under the leadership of Wei Yan and Chen Zhi, one left and one right outflanked the Wei light cavalry in the south.

The light cavalry was not equipped with armor, they wore ordinary clothes, relied on bows and arrows to kill the enemy, and generally stayed away from frontal combat, and did not need to be equipped with armor.

The heavy cavalry was equipped with leather armor, which used a scimitar for field combat, and the weight of its equipment was not heavy, or even lighter, because the light cavalry had to carry a large number of bows and arrows, so the speed of the heavy cavalry was not much slower than that of the light cavalry.

Moreover, the cavalry of the Han army is equipped with stirrups and is well-trained, and the war horses are also carefully selected, whether it is speed, combat effectiveness and formation, they are stronger than these county soldiers.

The Wei army soldiers were poorly trained, had no stirrups, and the war horses were not as good as the carefully selected, and they could not outrun the heavy cavalry of the Han army under the gallop with all their might.

The two heavy cavalry formed a cone formation, and the war horses under their crotch walked like flying, and the speed was like an arrow off the string, and under the leadership of Wei Yanchen and the two, they rushed towards the light cavalry of the Wei army.

Although the Wei army was light cavalry, the heavy cavalry of the Han army was faster than them, and the two cone marching formations soon rushed into the light cavalry of the Wei army, and the cone marching array charged back and forth under the leadership of Wei Yanchen and the two, constantly cutting the Wei army.

Xiahou said that the cone marching array formed was in vain, but the cone marching array of the Han army was easily successful.

Liu Chan faced the north again, and at this moment the circle formation of the Han army was incomplete, although it was still a circle in general, but there were two less phalanxes in the center.

Liu Chan waved the command flag in his hand, and another phalanx came out from the east, still forming a cone formation, and rushed against the heavy cavalry of Xiahou.

This cone marching array was still composed of heavy cavalry, numbering about 4,000 people, and was led by Lin Yuan.

The heavy cavalry of the Han army used scimitars, the power was huge, at this moment the Wei army scattered and rushed into the formation, the cone line formation was already chaotic, the Han army rushed into the Wei army without much effort, and killed the Wei army in chaos.

Immediately, the order flag in Liu Chan's hand waved again, and at this moment, most of the middle of the circle was empty, only one military array remained, and the rest formed a circle.

Liu Chan waved the flag, and the only remaining army array numbered about three thousand, and the heavy cavalry archers all had them, and they moved to the bottom of the high platform to protect Liu Chan.

The only remaining circle was broken from the south, and the soldiers at the break ran north from the east and west, forming a circle again, encircling the heavy cavalry battlefield.

It's not appropriate to say it's a circle, because this circle is like a gossip that guards the eight directions, and there are gaps in the middle, and it's not as tight as a circle.

Xiahou said that the cavalry was already in chaos, and although Lin Yuan only led 4,000 people to charge into formation, he could still defeat them.

It was only a matter of time before the Wei army was defeated, and these soldiers who surrounded the Wei army were all Han light cavalry, all armed with bows and arrows, sitting on war horses to wait for work, and surround more with less to attack, but to prevent the Wei army from escaping and pursuing.

Lin Yuan's cone line, in addition to Lin Yuan, there were also Ling Tong, Jiang Wei, Beigong Yan and other fierce generals, under their leadership, the cone line array was invincible, cutting the Wei army to pieces.

The Wei army was in chaos, and countless soldiers died under the scimitars.

On the other side, the light cavalry composed of county soldiers was even more unbearable, and was rushed by the two cone formations of the Han army, and the county soldiers scattered and fled, with countless casualties.

Xiahou said that he was anxious at the moment, and he had the intention to break through with the soldiers, but he was entangled by Lin Xiao and couldn't get out.

Xiahou said that he roared again and again, and kept using killing moves to force Lin Xiao back, but Lin Xiao did not give an inch, and did not give Xiahou a chance to break through at all.

The heavy cavalry of the Wei army was uncommanded, and under the formation charge of Lin Yuan, Ling Tong, Jiang Wei and others, they also began to be in chaos, and the soldiers were killed by the Han army and began to flee in all directions.

However, there were already Han light cavalry on the periphery to defend the eight directions, and the Wei army had no way to escape.

However, the light cavalry composed of county soldiers, although they suffered heavy casualties under the impact of the heavy cavalry of the Han army, but there were no soldiers and horses to surround them, and it was not a problem to escape, and they fled in the direction of Guguan one after another.

It's just that they don't know that Ma Chao is already waiting for them on the road.

The battle lasted from early morning to evening, and at this moment the light cavalry composed of county soldiers had run out, but they did not run away, because Ma Chao blocked the only way to Guguan, and under Ma Chao's deterrence, they had surrendered.

The 10,000 cavalry that Xiahou said had been completely lost, and under the siege of the Han army, only a few soldiers escaped.

At this moment, Lin Xiao and Xiahou said that they were still fighting, although it was winter, but Xiahou said that they were wearing a cloak and sweating like washing. As for Lin Xiao, he is not much better, he is nearly fifty years old after all, and he is not as strong as a young man, so he can't fight for a long time.

Xiahou said that the more he fought, the more courageous he became, and the battle dragged on until the evening.

At this moment, Zhang Fei rode his horse, looked at Xiahou and shouted: "Xiahou said, your soldiers and horses have been lost, and you still don't surrender?" ”

Xiahou said that when he looked back, he saw that his more than 10,000 cavalry had already died, wounded, corpses on the ground were all over the field, and blood was dripping, only nearly 1,000 cavalry surrendered to the Han army, and all the others were killed.

"Ahh Xia Hou said that his eyes were red when he saw this situation, and he couldn't help but look at the sky and roar.

Zhang Fei shouted: "Still not surrendered? ”

"The eldest husband would rather die than surrender! I can't defend the territory and avenge my father, what's the point of living? Xiahou roared angrily, and pulled out the sword from his waist and wiped it towards his neck.

"Stop!" Zhang Fei was shocked, he wanted to save Xiahou Cheng's life, but the distance was too far, and a trace of blood gushed out of Xiahoucheng's neck.

Xiahou, the first fierce general of the Cao Wei clan, said that he died at the age of twenty-three.

"Hey!" Seeing this, Zhang Fei and Lin Xiao sighed in unison.

On the high platform, Liu Chan couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this: "Xiahou Yuan gave birth to a good son, but it's a pity who made us enemies, pass the order and bury Xiahou Cheng." ”
