Chapter 625 It's good to lose both
Zhuge Zhan's words made Kebi Neng fall into contemplation, Zhuge Shang saw this, urged the horse to come to Zhuge Zhan's side, and whispered to Zhuge Zhan: "Brother, according to the news passed on to us by Jinyiwei, Tian Yu has gathered 20,000 soldiers and horses in Youzhou in the past month, and some time ago he was stationed in Liucheng, and now he has gone north.
It seems that Tian Yu deliberately let the soldiers and horses pretend to have an epidemic to lure us into pursuit, so as to set up an ambush halfway. In that case, why do you still persuade Kebineng to send troops to pursue him? Isn't this self-defeating? ”
Tian Yu felt that no one knew his actions in Youzhou, at least with Xianbei's intelligence force, but he didn't know that Jinyiwei had already told Zhuge Zhan about the situation in Youzhou in order to ensure the safety of the Zhuge brothers.
To chase or not, whether Tian Yu's strategy can be achieved or not is all in Zhuge Zhan's thoughts.
Zhuge Zhan waved his hand and motioned for Zhuge Shang not to speak for the time being.
Kebineng looked at the corpse of Wei Jun left on the ground and muttered, "Hmm...... There are still corpses of the Wei army on the ground, and the corpses of the Wei army and weapons such as bows and arrows have not been taken back and taken away, so it can be seen that Cao Zhang withdrew his troops immediately after defeating our vanguard troops.
If the Wei army had been well prepared, they would not have been afraid of us, and would not have left without even taking the bodies of their companions with them. The fact that they left so quickly shows that the Wei army is really suffering from the epidemic and is now vulnerable and does not dare to engage most of our men.
In that case, quickly lead the army in pursuit! ”
"That's right!" Zhuge Zhan nodded and smiled, and then said: "But Tian Yu is a tricky person, I don't know if he is prepared, we can't give up the pursuit, but we can't catch up with it."
According to the original method, the soldiers and horses were divided into two batches, one in front and one behind, but this time the vanguard could have more men and horses, and if they were ambushed, the rear army could also respond to one or two. If the Wei army had not been ambushed, the rear army would have immediately pressed up and killed the Wei army. ”
"I see!" Listening to Zhuge Zhan's words, Zhuge Shang's doubts disappeared suddenly, as long as the soldiers and horses were still divided into two parts, the front and back, and they didn't rush forward in a swarm, wouldn't it? At that time, Xianbei will only be in the middle of the front, and he will still have the strength to fight, it would be better if Xianbei and Wei could fight and lose both.
"Well, it's always a good mistake to be cautious!" Kebineng bowed his head slightly, and immediately ordered in a loud voice: "Yu Zhuqi, you lead 20,000 cavalry as the vanguard to pursue the Wei army, and I will lead 60,000 soldiers and horses behind!" ”
"No!" Yu Zhuyu gave up his hand to receive the order, and waved his big hand and said: "Brothers, rush with me!" ”
"Kill!"
"Whoa!"
Under the leadership of Kebineng's son-in-law Yu Zhuqi, 20,000 cavalry chased towards the Wei army with great momentum.
Kebineng and Zhuge Zhan brothers led 60,000 soldiers and horses to follow.
The Wei army had 50,000 soldiers and horses, and in addition to 30,000 cavalry, there were 20,000 foot soldiers. People can't outrun horses, so the Wei army is bound to be caught up by Xianbei.
But Tian Yu had already made a plan to ambush Xianbei halfway, so the Wei army had to ensure that they could not be caught up by the Xianbei cavalry when they arrived at the ambush site, and if they were caught up by the Xianbei cavalry in advance, not only would the ambush be in vain, but they might even be defeated by Xianbei.
Therefore, Cao Zhang, who was in charge of the broken end, had a very heavy responsibility, he had to be responsible for blocking the Xianbei pursuers and ensuring that the main force of the Wei army at least reached the ambush before being caught up by the Xianbei army.
Cao Zhangzheng led his 3,000 cavalry to gallop on the grassland, and a soldier rode his horse from the rear and reported to Cao Zhangyu: "General Qiyu, the Xianbei soldiers and horses have caught up, and the distance from us is less than ten miles. ”
Hearing this, Cao Zhang pulled the reins and stopped, and asked the other soldier, "How far is General Tian from us?" ”
The soldier replied, "It's ten miles ahead." ”
Cao Zhang hurriedly ordered: "Immediately turn the horse's head to resist the pursuing soldiers, and hold on for at least half an hour before leaving, and let General Tian find a way to speed up the march." ”
"Brothers, meet the enemy!"
With Cao Zhang's order, the three thousand cavalry turned their horses and set up a position on the road.
Tian Yu led the main army at the forefront, and Cao Zhang dispatched
The soldiers came to report to Tian Yuyu: "General, the Xianbei cavalry has caught up, General Cao is now leading his troops to resist the pursuing soldiers, please find a way to speed up the advance, otherwise we are afraid that before we reach the ambush place, we will be caught up by the Xianbei people." ”
"Got it!" Tian Yu nodded and ordered: "The infantry and cavalry ride together, and I lost the excess grain and grass baggage, and only brought the necessary rations and water." In addition, Captain Wang, you are leading 3,000 soldiers and horses to meet General Cao Zhang. ”
"No!"
Tian Yu also had his own method, after giving the infantry army and the cavalry to ride together, and discarding a large amount of baggage, the speed of his soldiers and horses suddenly accelerated a lot.
Cao Zhang lined up not far from the north to block Xianbei's pursuers, but after a while, Yu Zhuqi led 20,000 soldiers and horses to catch up.
"General, Cao Zhang is leading his troops in front, will there be another ambush?"
"Phew!" Yu Zhuqian looked at the Wei army in front of him, pulled the reins and stopped, looked at Yu Zhuyu for a while and said: "There is a horse and a flat river here, what can be an ambush?" It must be that we are about to catch up with the main force of the Wei army, so Cao Zhangcai led his troops to resist us, he only has 3,000 soldiers and horses, let's rush up and solve it as soon as possible. Brothers, kill me! ”
"Shoot me!" Cao Zhang saw the Xianbei soldiers and horses rushing up, and shouted and ordered the soldiers and horses to shoot.
After a round of arrow rain, the Xianbei cavalry suffered hundreds of casualties, but they also rushed not far in front of the Wei army, and the Xianbei cavalry also shot down hundreds of Wei cavalry in the process of charging.
Seeing the Xianbei cavalry rushing up, Cao Zhangyi urged the war horse and killed the Xianbei cavalry, and then more than 2,000 cavalry also rushed towards the Xianbei cavalry with scimitars.
The weapon used by the Wei cavalry today is the scimitar.
The scimitar is the most suitable weapon for cavalry melee combat, with a good unloading effect, of course, the scimitar used by the Wei cavalry is naturally not as good as the scimitar used by the cavalry of the Han army, because the iron smelting technology of the Han army is more advanced, not only sharp, but also strong and durable.
Although the scimitar of the Wei State is not as good as the scimitar of the Han army, it is still sharp, but it is not as strong and durable as the scimitar of the Han army.
However, scimitar combat was too advanced, and if the Wei cavalry did not use scimitars, they would not be able to compete with the Han cavalry at all, so the Wei cavalry could only fight with scimitars.
Although the scimitar of the Wei State is not as good as the scimitar of the Han Dynasty, it naturally cannot have an advantage over the scimitar of the Han Dynasty, but it can gain the upper hand in the face of Xianbei's weapons.
