Chapter 698: Tiger and Leopard Ride
It is not surprising that Tang Qianyu has such a guess.
The tiger and leopard cavalry and the Wuwei battalion are both Cao Wei's emperor's pro-army, and the backbone of the Wuwei battalion is the tiger warrior trained by the tiger marquis Xu Yu, and the level is not weaker than the Wei family's martial arts. Since its establishment, the leader of the tiger and leopard riding is the Cao clan, first Cao Chun, then Cao Zhen, Cao Xiu, is the elite of the Wei cavalry, and the prestige is still in Yuyang, Shanggu and other Wuhuan famous horses. In Cao Cao's expedition to the pass, he fought against Ma Chao, that is, with 5,000 tigers and leopards riding in ten heavy formations, coupled with the tiger marquis Xu Yu's personal guards, Ma Chao, who was called the general of heaven by the Qiang people, did not dare to act rashly.
The tiger and leopard cavalry and the Wuwei battalion arrived at Liudaoyan at the same time, and they couldn't think of any other explanation except for Cao Rui's personal visit.
Tang Qianyu and Wei Wu glanced at each other, and at the same time turned their gaze to Wei Ba. They simply admired Wei Ba so much, and this intuition on the battlefield was really enviable. You must know that before this, they have not received any news about the tiger and leopard cavalry and the Wuwei battalion, if Jihua kills Benli County according to the original plan, and the tiger and leopard cavalry will be killed from behind, and few of their 5,000 people will leave alive.
I can't even escape, let alone no foot soldiers, not even these two thousand cavalry, and there won't even be bones left.
With the size of the world, there are no cavalry that can fight head-on with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, let alone these newly built cavalry.
Thinking of that serious consequence, even the bold Wei Wu felt his scalp tingle, and therefore admired Wei Ba a little more.
"Cao Rui really looks up to me." Wei Ba pinched his fingers. laughed: "Put on such a big battle? ”
"Brother, you are really ......" Wei Wu took Wei Ba's hand, held it for a long time, and didn't say it, Zuihou still picked up his thumb and gestured at Wei Ba: "Brother, you are really godly, no wonder my father asked me to learn from you." ”
Wei Ba blinked: "Isn't it amazing?" ”
"That's, it's amazing." Wei Wutou nodded like a chicken pecking rice.
"It's not amazing at all." Wei Ba shook his head, his gaze swept over the faces of Wei Wu and the others: "Think about it carefully. You can see the problem. Even if you can't guess the existence of powerful enemies like the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Wuwei Battalion, you can know that it is definitely not simple behind this. ”
Wei Wu blinked blankly and looked at Wei Ba beggingly, hoping that he could speak more clearly.
Wei Ba did not disappoint him. He coughed. Said: "First of all. Although the turbulent defense line is not the only line of defense in the west of Wancheng, it is a very important dividing line. This line of defense starts from Xinye in the south and reaches Lixian in the north. There are a total of four castles, all of which are manned and detained, and the turbulent water is more conducive to defense than the Fangchuan water on the east side. Moreover, after the turbulent water, we will enter the hinterland of Nanyang and reach the periphery of Wancheng, even if we don't attack Wancheng, we can threaten Wancheng at close range. With such an important terrain, how could Cao Rui only send 7,000 people to defend it? Lixian County is not as strong as Hefei, and the defenders of the city are not famous generals like Zhang Liao and Lejin. ”
Wei Wu thought thoughtfully: "Yes, in this way, Lixian's defense is indeed a little lax, even if it is sandwiched by the river, there are cities and rivers, but it still can't talk about insurance, and it is not worthy of its importance." ”
"This is one of them, and in addition to that, there is also a very important factor, which is that Dunwu has not been back for two days." Wei Ba looked at Dunwu and showed a relieved smile, although Dunwu was only twenty-four now, he had already become a battle-hardened man. "If there are no special circumstances, Dunwu will not suddenly disappear without any news. There are only two possibilities for him to disappear, one is that he has met a terrible opponent, and he has no chance to escape, and the other is that he has discovered an important situation and has no time to come back to report it, so he must go to investigate first. In either case, this is an important detail that cannot be overlooked. ”
"If you ignore such an important detail, even if you don't meet the Tiger and Par Cavalry and the Wuwei Battalion this time, you will encounter other strong opponents in the future. You can't live without luck, but luck won't always be with you, and in the end you have to rely on your own vigilance. ”
Wei Ba looked at Wei Wu and then at Tang Qianyu, and the eagerness in his eyes was overflowing. He wanted them to grow up as soon as possible.
"Young master, I understand." Tang Qianyu said ashamedly.
"That...... Brother, I remember, next time I ......" Wei Wu touched his head embarrassedly, and rarely took the initiative to admit his mistake.
"Well, the lesson of the previous car, the teacher of the rear car, don't wait for the hardships to have a long memory. Because sometimes, you may not have a chance to make amends. Wei Ba patted Wei Wu on the shoulder: "Okay, now that we know that someone wants to stab us, what should we do?" ”
Wei Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Come and don't be rude, let's go and stab him." ”
"Courage is commendable, but courage alone is not enough." Wei Ba snapped his fingers, Ding Feng hurriedly opened the map he had just put away, and several people gathered around the map to discuss it again.
……
Cao Yu looked at Xu Ding, frowning: "Are you sure?" ”
Xu Ding nodded: "King, that person has strong martial arts, sneaked near our army's camp, and killed two tiger warriors and two tiger and leopard knights one after another, such a person is by no means an ordinary person, nor will he be a swordsman who passes by by accident." I have seen the wounds of the deceased, and all of them were killed with one blow, and he is undoubtedly a master in the army. ”
Cao Yu turned his head and looked at Chen Tai: "Uncle Xuan, what do you think?" ”
Chen Tai said quietly: "I think General Xu's analysis is reasonable, we may have been exposed." ”
"So what?"
"Now that it has been exposed, we might as well support Lixian in a bright and bright way, so that Wei Ba and Ma Jian will know the difficulties and retreat."
Cao Yu thought for a long time and shook his head: "The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Wuwei Battalion are both Bixia pro-army, and it is okay to carry out special tasks, but now that they have been exposed, the opportunity to kill Wei Ba is lost, and it is not appropriate to stay outside." What if an enemy army breaks into the vicinity of Wancheng and threatens Bixia's safety? Uncle Xuan, I know your idea makes sense, but we can't limit our eyes to Lixian, don't you say? ”
Chen Tai bowed slightly. He felt that Cao Yu was too weak, but he couldn't say that Cao Yu's consideration was unreasonable, after all, compared to Cao Rui's safety, Lixian was insignificant. What's more, Wancheng is only more than 100 miles away from Lixian, if there is really something, as long as Cao Rui gives an order, he can rush to support at any time.
"King, then we will be stationed here, simply show the flag, and see how Ma Jian and Wei Ba will react." Chen Tai said carefully: "If Ma Tan and Wei Ba retreat in fear, of course it is better, if they don't know how to advance and retreat, and they want to attack Lixian, then the king will give him a thunderous blow to set an example." In case something happens to Wancheng, the king can also retreat in time, so as not to miss the big thing. ”
Cao Yu nodded repeatedly. When Xu Ding heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Chen Tai more. Although Chen Tai is young and has never heard of any combat exploits, his plan is both offensive and defensive, and it is very safe. As long as the tiger and leopard cavalry showed the battle flag, not only the morale of the Wei army in Lixian County would be greatly boosted, but the Shu Han army that was attacking would definitely be frustrated. If they are not completely sure, they will only expose themselves to the attacks of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Wuwei Battalion if they forcibly attack.
It can be said that although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Wuwei Battalion add up to only 5,000 people, they are worth 20,000 troops, and with such elite support, presumably the Wei army in Lixian County will definitely feel a lot more at ease.
In addition, Chen Tai quietly took care of Cao Yu's face. Cao Yu surrendered to Wei Ba in Shunyang, although the Son of Heaven did not surrender, it was an indelible shame for him after all. If he can defeat Wei Ba this time, and even frighten Wei Ba to retreat without a fight, then he can save some face, and he can stand up and be a man in the future.
"Uncle Xuan, this is a wonderful strategy." Cao Yu also felt Chen Tai's maintenance and glanced at him gratefully.
……
There was silence in the cave, the faces of the generals were solemn, and even Wei Wu, who had always been belligerent, was a little silent.
The tiger and leopard cavalry, the Wuwei battalion, and the most elite infantry cavalry of the Wei army inadvertently arrived in front of them, even if they avoided the doom of being attacked by them, but the difference in strength between the two sides was here, and they still did not have much confidence. With such a strong enemy on the side, is there still a chance to capture Lixian?
Wei Ba felt this pressure, he straightened up, looked at everyone, and couldn't help but chuckle.
"Although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the Wuwei Battalion are well-known elites in the world, as long as they are exposed, they may not be invincible." Wei Ba snapped his fingers, looking very relaxed. "They are also people with two eyes and a nose, and they also ride four-legged horses, even if they are stronger, can they still be invincible? In order to save Bixia, my master once killed seven in and seven out in the tiger and leopard ride, although I am not talented, I will try the quality of the tiger and leopard ride today. ”
He looked at Wei Wu, Tang Qianyu, Ding Feng and others, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Cao Rui looks up to me and arranges such a big battle for me, I can't help but continue, don't you say?" I believe that this is probably Cao Rui's confidence, if he can win the battle, Cao Rui may run away and give Wancheng to us. ”
"Haha......" Wei Wu was the first to get up, patted his chest, and said loudly: "Brother, I really convinced you, in the face of elites like the Tiger and Par Cavalry and the Wuwei Battalion, you can be so bold." I think if Daddy hears this, he will praise you. This is the seed of our Wei family. ”
Wei Wu said as he imitated the appearance of Wei Yan drawing his sword and looking around, squinting at the world, not to mention, it was really a little similar.
Wei Yan accepted the important task of guarding the Taishou of Hanzhong back then, and once said to Liu Bei in front of many people: If Cao Cao comes from all over the world, please refuse it for the king. I will send 100,000 people to the king, please swallow it for the king. The words were bold and dry. Today, Wei Ba is going to fight against the most elite infantry of the Wei army, and he is confident of defeating them, and this pride is not inferior even compared to Wei Yan.
Wei Ba's confidence swept away the gloom in everyone's hearts, and a smile reappeared on their faces.
"Strategically, we have to despise him, but tactically, we have to value him." Wei Ba waved his hand, interrupting Wei Wu's teasing, and then said: "This may be a battle that affects the morale of both sides, and it must not be taken lightly. ”
"Whoa!" The generals responded with a bang...... (To be continued......)
