Chapter 633: Fiction is Reality
According to the custom, a general can use one-tenth of his troops as a personal guard battalion.
Jiang Wei led the 5,000-person battalion of the Tiger Buzhong battalion with General Fengyi, so it is not out of line for him to have a personal guard battalion of 500 people, but the 500 people are all elite armor warriors, which is a bit criticized. As a general, he can't afford to raise the equipment of 500 people with that little bit of money plus a little reward from Emperor Bixia.
Wei Yan has been guarding one side for so many years, and he is only more than 3,000 soldiers, which has consumed most of the Wei family's financial resources, Jiang Wei entered Shu alone, and was able to set up a 500-person Ruishi battalion in such a short period of time, everyone knew that this could not be his liliang alone. And who else can support him except Prime Minister Zhuge ? Prime Minister Zhuge was thrifty, but he used the power in his hands to equip Jiang Wei with a personal guard battalion, which has become a reason for political enemies to attack him, but no one dared to say it in front of the prime minister.
Jiang Wei himself knows this, so he hopes to defeat Zhang He's Euphorbia to prove that the Ruishi Battalion is not a decoration, and the money is worth it. At this moment, the idea of preserving strength is no longer realistic, even if he wants to lead the army to retreat, it is too late, and he can only fight to the death with Zhang He.
With a battalion of five hundred sharp soldiers facing two hundred halberders, and dozens of crossbows guarding the city by his side, Jiang Wei felt that he had at least a seventy percent chance of winning. Although seventy percent is not enough, it also has the confidence to give it a go.
However, he soon realized that he was wrong.
The Rui Shi Battalion is indeed an elite, whether it is personal martial arts or equipment, or cooperation with each other, it can be called the far from the top, but it is a pity that they have encountered an elite Euphorbia who has been famous for a long time. The Euphorbia is enough to overwhelm the Sharps in every aspect, and more importantly. Zhang He, the five good generals who commanded them to fight all his life, has a wealth of experience that is far beyond Jiang Wei's ability.
As soon as he saw the Ruishi camp, Zhang He judged the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides, and without hesitation, he commanded the halberd soldiers to greet the Ruishi camp. The forest-like halberd stabbed at the warriors, and the warriors greeted them with shields, and the shields were hooked by the halberds, and they stabbed with spears, but they could not pierce the heavy armor on the halberds, and the halberds in the hands of the halberds cut their necks mercilessly.
The helmet of the Sharp Battalion has a guard. Enough to deal with a general knife and halberd hook. However, in the face of the euphorbia in the hands of the euphorbia, and in the face of the euphorbia's exquisite halberd technique, their equipment was far from enough to protect them. The three halberders cooperate with each other, and one hooks the shield. One hooks them in the arm or neck. The other stabbed them in the face or neck. The sharp halberd stabbed them in the face and pierced their necks, killing them in front of the battle.
The famous Warrior Battalion looks like a child who has just learned to fight in front of the Euphorbia. He didn't have the power to fight back at all, and a large number of people were killed in an instant. The Euphorbia pushes forward and kills as much as he wants.
Jiang Wei was dumbfounded, as if he had been struck by lightning.
……
Xiahou Ba sat on his war horse, quietly listening to the sound of war drums in the distance, his eyes slightly closed, and his face sank like water.
Two thousand soldiers and three thousand horses stood quietly behind him. They stood wide, and the line was so long that it looked like there were five thousand.
Niu Jin looked at Xiahou Ba and sighed with emotion. In just a few days, Xiahou Ba was like a piece of red-hot iron that slowly cooled, and although he lost his dazzling light, he became more tenacious. At this moment, he did not impulsively order the charge, but let the soldiers line up in the valley, but the effect was far more than the charge.
Jiang Wei was very cautious, although he did not necessarily know how many enemies there were behind him, but he arranged three or four thousand men and lined up a position that was wide enough to cover the entire valley and five hundred steps deep in front and back. With the more than 2,000 horsemen in Xiahou Ba's hands, if he wants to rush through this position, he will pay a heavy price, and he may even be wiped out.
However, Xiahou Ba did not give the order to charge, and he kept hiding his whereabouts with all his might. In the past few days, more than 200 scouts of the Shu Han army have been killed, and in order to kill more than 200 scouts, Xiahou Ba sent 1,000 people to set up an ambush nearby.
This undoubtedly caused a lot of psychological pressure on Jiang Wei, otherwise he would not have sent so many troops to block the attack. He had been fighting hard with Zhang He for a month, even if the casualties were few, there would always be four or five thousand casualties, and now he would not exceed fifteen thousand at most, and four thousand people would be used in one rear formation, and the deployment of his troops would definitely have an impact. More importantly, this shows that Jiang Wei is very nervous, and the possibility of being attacked from both sides haunts his heart all the time, which will seriously affect his will.
Xiahou Ba was motionless, just by hiding his traces, he seriously restrained Jiang Wei, and even played a more effective role than attacking.
He has embarked on a path of transformation from a charging fighter to a strategizing general.
And the impetus for all this comes from Cao Zhi.
Xiahou Ba opened his eyes, glanced at the sunset that was about to set, and the horsewhip lightly pointed: "Forward!" ”
Three thousand horses began to trot forward, slowly, faster and faster, faster and faster.
Xiahou Ba sat on the war horse, and his body rose and fell with the running of the war horse.
The sound of horses' hooves converged into a thunderclap that rolled along the valley. The unique topography of the valley gathered the sound of horses' hooves, making the thunder sound far grander than the actual liliang, and running faster than the horses.
Jiang Wei looked at the beating jade Ruyi on the case, and changed color in shock.
The mysterious enemy behind him actually had a large number of cavalry, this conclusion surprised Jiang Wei. He knew that Cao Zhi had cavalry, and Xiahou Ba defeated Ma Dai, this news was no secret, but how could Cao Zhi have so many cavalry? And judging from the fact that these enemies did not attack at the first time, these enemies are not just cavalry, but may also have a large number of foot soldiers. Otherwise, they should have launched a surprise attack before he was ready, not waiting for him to be ready.
Could it be that the prime minister is really defeated? Could it be that the Wei army of Longyou entered Guanzhong, joined forces with Cao Zhi, and defeated the prime minister, and the prime minister didn't even have time to send out a message?
In an instant, Jiang Wei had a lot of thoughts and thought of countless possibilities, each of which pointed to a bad result. These may even make him more nervous than Zhang He in front of him, once Zhuge Liang's main force is defeated, the consequences will be far more serious than when he was killed by Zhang He.
Jiang Wei was completely devastated, Zhang He commanded the Euphorbia to slaughter his Ruishi battalion, and the Wei army was launching a Zuihou blow, while there were countless enemies behind him.
It's a game to the death.
Jiang Wei, who had been restraining his fear, finally couldn't control his panic and ordered a retreat. He no longer wants to maintain his strength for Prime Minister Zhuge Liang, but to ensure his own life.
The Shu Han soldiers also heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, most of them were Qiang people from Nanzhong, and they were even more afraid of cavalry than Qiang people from Longyou. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, they couldn't guess how many cavalry there were, and their fear only grew greater. And when they saw Jiang Wei's battle flag moving, they instantly despaired.
Shu Han's originally solid position began to dissolve as Jiang Wei wavered, like a huge piece of ice, suddenly "clicked", cracked into countless small pieces, and fled in all directions.
Jiang Wei fled with the few remaining Ruishi battalions. There were enemies in front and behind, and he did not dare to take risks, so he could only flee from the mountains on both sides with the camp of sharp soldiers. There were many canyons deep in the mountains, which were impassable for the army, but the small group could barely walk.
Seeing Jiang Wei retreating, part of the Shu Han army fled with Jiang Wei, and some people saw that there was no hope of escape, so they simply threw down their weapons and surrendered on their knees.
The month-long resistance battle, with the arrival of Xiahouba, ended in Zhang He's complete victory. Jiang Wei, who fled to the halfway slope of the mountain, listened to the tsunami-like cheers of Wei Junshan behind him, biting his lip and refusing to let his tears fall.
Qiao Yue held an iron wok, carried half a leg of mutton on her back, and followed behind panting, chasing closely.
……
Zhang He walked away from Jiang Wei's command platform of the Chinese army, picked up the jade Ruyi that Jiang Wei didn't have time to take away, and forgot on the case, and smiled slightly. He sat down, took off his helmet, put his hands on his desk, and gasped for air. led the halberd warriors to fight for most of the hour, and although he did not cut and kill himself, he was tired enough.
Tian Yu and Xiahou Ba walked up quickly and bowed their hands: "Congratulations to the general." ”
Zhang He hahadaxiao pointed at Xiahou Ba: "Xiahou Zhongquan, you can win this battle today, you are the first meritorious." False and real, your suspicious soldiers all the way are the heart-piercing swords that defeated Jiang Wei. ”
Tian Yu also nodded again and again: "The general is too right, if it weren't for General Xiahou's suspicious soldiers who defeated Jiang Wei's psychology along the way, we would have to pay at least three or four thousand casualties, in that case, we would not have enough troops to enter Guanzhong." ”
Zhang He and Tian Yu are both veteran generals who have been on the battlefield for a long time, they entered Jiang Wei's position, stood on the command platform, and took a full view of Jiang Wei's position deployment, and immediately knew where Jiang Wei lost. With the rigor of Jiang Wei's position and the remaining troops, if it weren't for the appearance of Xiahouba's suspicious soldiers, Jiang Wei would be able to hold out for a long time, even if he gave up the Chinese army, a few miles back, those positions were enough to make them crazy.
Jiang Wei was not defeated in the battle, but in his heart. His heart was not strong enough, and his own suspicions crushed his defenses.
And Xiahou Ba's tactics can't hide from their eyes now, if more than 2,000 cavalry charge head-on, they can't defeat Jiang Wei's rear formation, but this kind of suspicious tactics to cover Zhang Mizhang are more lethal.
Although the Xiahou clan is not a sect, it is like a clan. Zhang He has also fought under Xiahouba's father Xiahou Yuan for many years, and he is no stranger to Xiahouba, at this moment, he will naturally not hesitate to praise him, not to mention that Xiahouba's tactics are indeed remarkable.
Facing the praise of the two senior generals, Xiahou Ba was silent, and when Zhang He and Tian Yu finished speaking, he said lightly: "King Chen is the first merit, everything I do today is King Chen's spirit in the sky guiding me." ”
As soon as the word "King Chen" came out, the excited Zhang He and Tian Yu were silent. Zhang He stood up and stood solemnly facing south...... (To be continued......)
