Chapter 236: Capture the General
Wei Ba and Zhao Guang led more than 2,000 people, rushing back and forth, using the crossbow in their hands to shoot with all their might. Wei Ba is very aware of the strength of these cavalry, although they have been formed for more than three months, and they have trained very hard, but after all, they have not been in battle, they have not experienced actual combat, and if they go into battle for the first time, if they are used to charge the battle, once the other party succeeds in blocking and falling into positional warfare, the losses will be very large. So before the war, he discussed with Zhao Guang and divided the knights into two parts, one part was the knights who originally had a foundation in riding and shooting, and their combat effectiveness was relatively strong and they were capable of breaking through the formation. Zhao Guang led them to attack the Wei army that tried to line up on the spot, not allowing them enough time to line up, while the remaining part of the people were led by Wei Ba to implement guerrilla tactics, clash back and forth around the Wei army's position, try to avoid strong attacks, and use bows and crossbows to kill and wound the enemy from a long distance.
The two sides worked together, Zhao Guang raised his spear, and as soon as he saw that the Wei army had a position that was about to take shape, he led the nearly a thousand knights to rush over and scatter those formations. Wei Ba's nearly 2,000 cavalry pursued and killed the lone Wei army and fired at the dense Wei army.
The two cooperated with each other, using the speed of the war horse, constantly impacting the position of the Wei army. Although Guo Huai tried his best, in the face of the impact of Zhao Guang and Wei Ba, he was never able to organize an effective counterattack. The scattered Wei army could only fight on its own, facing the continuous attack of the Shu cavalry with personal bravery.
Wei Ba galloped on his horse, raising his crossbow from time to time and shooting one or two crossbow arrows. However, compared to those knights who shoot accurately and can gain something from almost every shot, his style is more akin to showmanship, indicating that he is also a warrior and participates in battles, nothing more.
Although after a few battles, he is no longer a newcomer, but he is still quite far from a real thug. The warrior beside him was beside Zhao Yun. still followed him to Longguan, as long as he opened his eyes every day, most of the time was on horseback. Some people can even sleep on horseback. They practiced archery on horseback, spear stabbing, slashing with their swords, and riding by leaps and bounds in hard training. However, apart from being able to sit firmly on horseback, he had too little practice with various weapons, and he was okay to put on a show. I can't talk about going to school at all.
Zhao Yun once said, give me three months, and I will train you a cavalry that can put on a faΓ§ade. If this sentence is used to evaluate other knights is still a little modest, then it is very appropriate to evaluate Wei Ba.
He is just pretending to be a faΓ§ade, and he can't hold a spear like Zhao Guang, rushing left and right, and there is no one in front of him.
Fortunately, he also knew that he was too late to practice martial arts. didn't expect to be an immortal general, and he was already very satisfied.
"Accelerate, accelerate!" Wei Ba kicked and beat his war horse while raising his crossbow. Aiming at a member of the Wei military academy in the distance, according to the secret of Zhao Yun's guidance, he felt the movement of the war horse under his crotch, and pulled the crossbow machine at the moment when the war horse took off. The crossbow arrow departed from the string, drawing a flat and straight arc in the air, right in front of the Wei military captain. The man screamed, rolled over and fell off his horse.
"Cool!" Wei Ba secretly praised himself, and the war horse swept past the captain. The guards around the captain rushed up angrily, wanting to stop Wei Ba from avenging the captain, but they were greeted by a rain of arrows, Dun Wu's left hand spear, right hand ring knife, spear bayonet slash, killing three people in a row in a moment, not letting those people have the possibility of getting close at all.
Since the last time he stormed the camp, Wei Ba was almost stabbed by the enemy, Dun Wu no longer dared to take risks, he led twenty soldiers, never leaving Wei Ba's side, and eliminated any hidden dangers that might threaten Wei Ba's life at close range.
Of course, this basically ruled out the possibility of Wei Ba fighting the enemy at close range like Zhao Guang.
However, Wei Ba never thought of fighting the enemy face to face on top of the battle array, this kind of thing is too dangerous, so it is safer to hide behind the guards. He enjoys the thrill of acting as a brain more than acting as a fist.
"Turn left, turn left!" Seeing that he was about to rush out of the position, Wei Ba shouted loudly, turned his body to the left, and turned with his war horse. Behind him, the knights began to turn in unison, running more than two hundred steps in one go, and then turned back to attack the Wei army's position again.
He was a knife that peeled the skin, always advancing along the edge of the Wei army's position, and with each charge, a layer of skin was peeled off. Zhao Guang, on the other hand, led a knife that cut flesh, and from time to time rushed into the enemy group, slashing and killing those enemies who tried to fight in formation, and scattered them. One is as light as a swallow, one is as fierce as a tiger, one is like a dragonfly dotting water, sweeping by, and the other is like a hungry eagle pounced, and it hits with one blow. The two cooperate with each other, and the rabbit rises and falls, full of rhythmic beauty, making everyone involved in the attack feel happy.
Unfortunately, what the Wei army felt was helplessness and despair, in the face of the impact of more than 2,000 knights, they could not organize an effective counterattack, and could only fight on their own. And in the face of the war horses that come and go, if there is no cooperation from their companions, it is difficult to resist with their personal martial arts alone.
Guo Huai saw this scene, as a general who had fought in Guanzhong and Longyou for many years, he was too familiar with such tactics. Originally, this was the skill of the Wei army to gallop the world, but now they have become the object of abuse of this tactic.
"Retreat!" Guo Huai gave orders one after another, no matter how much the price was paid, he would also return to Shangqi. If you hold Shangqi, you still have a chance, otherwise, he will be responsible for his death.
Under the command of Guo Huai, the Wei army rushed towards the cavalry of the Shu army, trying to kill a way back to the city with flesh and blood. Thousands of people worked together, roaring like thunder, and the momentum was really amazing. Wei Ba and Zhao Guang were unwilling to fight hard, so they could only fight and retreat, trying their best to harass them.
Seeing Guo Huai suddenly order a retreat, and seeing the chaos behind the Wei army, Hu Ji was ecstatic. At this time, he also heard the sound of horses' hooves coming and gone, and knew that this was the cavalry led by Wei Ba who was repeatedly attacking Guo Huai's rear formation. Guo Huai attacked with all his might, but at this moment he was attacked by the cavalry, and he no longer had any ability to counterattack. However, Wei Ba's task is not only to defeat Guo Huai's troops and capture Shangqi, he also has a more important task. Therefore, although Hu Ji was very tired, although he knew that his subordinates suffered heavy casualties and urgently needed rest at the moment, he still gave the order for a comprehensive counterattack.
At the sound of an order, the battle flags flew and the drums were stirring, and the Shu army, which was only less than a thousand people, gave up the heavy ordnance such as the crossbow cart and the thunderbolt car, all picked up the war knives and spears, pushed away the already broken baggage carts, and broke out with an earth-shattering roar, rushing towards the Wei army.
"Capture Guo Huai alive and reward 10,000 dollars!" Hu Ji jumped on a crossbow cart and raised his knife and yelled.
"Kill!" The morale of the Shu army was like a rainbow, and the offensive was like a tide.
The Wei army was attacked from both sides, and on the other side was still a cavalry galloping on horseback, and they had already panicked in their hearts. Although Guo Huai was quite calm, trying his best to command his subordinates to counterattack, he was still struggling under the attack of the Shu army.
The casualties of the Wei army increased rapidly. Hu Ji led his subordinates to forcibly advance, and soon saw the battle flags of Wei Ba and Zhao Guang. The soldiers of the Shu army, who had suffered all the hardships of the Wei cavalry, were overjoyed and even more high-spirited when they saw that their cavalry was slaughtering the foot soldiers of the Wei army. They roared in unison, lined up in neat formations, and attacked forward step by step, echoing with the cavalry, gradually dividing the Wei army's position.
Seeing that the Wei army had lost the ability to resist, the soldiers of the Shu army cheered, their bodies were full of liliang, and the impact was even more violent.
There was also a burst of cheers under the city, and Ma Cao and Geng Ping commanded three thousand foot soldiers and also rushed to the city of Shangtai. Although the gate of Shangtai was closed, there were no soldiers in the city to defend it, and Ma Cao and others easily broke through the city gate and killed the city.
Ma Cao carried his three-pointed, two-edged knife and went straight to the tower of the West Gate. Tianshui Taishou Ma Zun cried with a sad face, looked at the horse drill who was coming at a hurry, and arched his hand: "Yunlong, are you here?" β
Ma Cao grinned, and haha smiled: "Yes, I'm here." I don't know what Uncle commands? β
Ma Zun sighed, didn't say anything, turned around and ran to the flagpole, untied Cao Wei's banner, took the battle flag of Shu Han from Ma Cao's hand, and raised it with his own hands. At this point, he knew that Shangqi had inevitably fallen into the hands of the Shu army, and Guanzhong had also become the bag of Shu Han. Ma Cao appeared on the battlefield, and as a member of the Fufeng Ma family, if he refused to surrender, there was only a dead end.
Ma Zun's acquaintance has descended, at this moment, he can't take care of Luoyang's wife and children, and saving his life is the most important thing.
The change of battle flags at the head of Shangqi City crushed the will of the Wei army, and they finally collapsed, laid down their arms, and surrendered on their knees.
Guo Huai still didn't give up, and under the protection of more than a dozen personal guards, he brandished his war knife and roared. Zhao Guang saw him, turned the horse's head, raised the spear in his hand, and let out a long roar: "Kill Guo Huai-"
Tang Qianyu shouted in response: "Kill Guo Huai!" β
The knights shouted in response, followed by Zhao Guang and Tang Qianyu, kicked the war horses fiercely, and rushed towards Guo Huai. Guo Huai's face turned pale, but he refused to surrender. snatched a spear, pushed away the guards, rushed towards Zhao Guang, and roared: "Come on! β
Zhao Guang patted his horse and arrived, clenched the spear with both hands, and flicked it hard, picking apart Guo Huai's spear. The spearhead stabbed Guo Huai's chest. Guo Huai was shocked and retreated sharply, but there was no time. Zhao Guang's spearhead slashed through his breastplate, cutting a deep gap, and blood burst out.
Before Guo Huai's screams could be released, Tang Qianyu arrived, stretched out his hand, grabbed Guo Huai's dancing arm, shook it hard, lifted Guo Huai onto the horse, and held it down.
"Envoy-" The guards were shocked when they saw Guo Huai being captured by Tang Qianyusheng, and they rushed to catch up, and the formation broke immediately.
