Wei Xing said as he made a gesture excitedly, clenched his fists, smashed it to the ground again, and spat out, as if he had thrown Sima Shi in front of Wei Ba. His vivid body language made Wei Ba smile.

Still, it's a good idea. They are indeed tired, but Sima Shi is also tired, and under similar circumstances, the combat effectiveness of the warriors must have surpassed those of the Wei cavalry. What's more, the morale of both sides is not the same. Sima Shi came with 3,000 people, and now there are only 1,000 people left, and it is not surprising that morale will be frustrated. But they are fighting and winning successively, and their morale is high. Night attacks can also avoid the advantages of the Wei army in cavalry warfare, and give full play to the strengths of the soldiers who are good at night battles.

It's a good idea to weigh the two sides.

"Boy, you have a good idea." Wei Ba touched Wei Xing's little head affectionately, "I was confined by myself, but I forgot that the night is our world." ”

Wei Xing laughed, touched his head and laughed.

Wei Ba immediately called Dunwu and the others over and began to arrange the night attack. These were familiar to them, and it didn't take long for them to go separately.

……

Ten miles away, Sima Shi did not rest, he was thinking about how to get out of the predicament in front of him.

Successive defeats not only cost nearly 2,000 cavalry, but also dealt a heavy blow to morale. As night fell, the fear of being attacked by the Shu army last night spread among the soldiers again. Although they didn't say anything, Sima Shi could tell from the glances in their eyes that they looked into the field from time to time.

After witnessing that amazing scene with his own eyes and understanding the true strength of Wei Ba's men, Sima Shi realized that he probably only had the advantage of cavalry in his hands. Wei Ba was now equal in number to himself, and he didn't push away the tree formation and rush up, there was only one reason, although his subordinates were brave and good at fighting. However, they were not capable of cavalry.

This may be understood, although Yizhou produces horses, there are no tall war horses. Especially in the mountainous areas, the advantage of mountain warfare is obvious, but it is still far inferior to the Great Wei in cavalry warfare. The world is divided into three, and the three countries have their own advantages. Wu Guoshan water war. Shu Han has a geographical advantage, and the Great Wei relies on stronger national strength and strong cavalry, and the Shu Han and Wu States, which have no war horse production area, cannot be compared with the Great Wei in this regard.

Come to think of it. Sima Shi's smile was even more bitter. He led three thousand elite horsemen to pursue Wei Ba, thinking that he would be captured, but he never expected that there would be such a predicament as he is now.

Weishenme will get to this point? Sima Shi began to recall the whole process little by little. Starting from the setback of Hu Zun and Jin Dongliu's vanguard troops, little by little the process of fighting between the two sides was recalled. And among them, what he knows best and what he is most unforgettable is undoubtedly the war he himself experienced: first, the building boat was overturned by Wei Ba in the middle of Danshui. Then he was attacked by Wei Ba at night in Shang County, and now he was blocked by Wei Ba on the gallop road, unable to advance or retreat.

Sima Shi endured the resentment in his heart, and analyzed Wei Ba's military habits little by little, which corroborated each other with the teachings of his father Sima Yi.

Suddenly. A bright light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

"Wei Ba is not ruthless enough!" He remembered that his father once commented on Wei Ba: "He cares too much about the casualties of his subordinates, and he doesn't dare to fight hard without absolute certainty!" And sometimes the winner or loser is a matter of who dares to fight hard. ”

Sima Shi was stunned, he realized that he had finally discovered Wei Ba's flaws. Now that the strength of the two sides is similar, Wei Ba is in a disadvantageous position, but he did not take the initiative to attack in time, which can only show that he does not dare to fight hard, and he has to wait for a more favorable fighter.

Where are the more advantageous fighters? Night Raid! Last night, Wei Ba had already proved to him that the Shu Han army was good at night raids. Tonight, he had every reason to do it again.

So what should I do?

Will it be counted? As soon as this idea popped up, Sima Shi vetoed it. He thought the same thing tomorrow, but he waited for half the night, and he was too tired to ride a thousand fine horses, but Wei Ba did not appear. He is a timid and alert rat who will smell any danger and give up the risk.

He didn't dare to come, so I'll go.

Sima Shi became excited, although he didn't see much joy on his face, his eyes were obviously much smarter. He thought about it for a long time, weighed the benefits and disadvantages properly, and then called the generals to discuss the matter.

……

Wei Ba had arranged the tactics of the night attack, and was just about to seize the time to take a nap and replenish his physical strength. Suddenly a torch lit up in the distance, and he frowned, and immediately sat up.

"Young master, the Wei army has come to attack."

"Attack?" Wei Ba was very surprised, Sima Shi occupied a favorable position, and Weishenme did not wait and see what happened, but wanted to attack? "How many, cavalry or foot soldiers?"

"It seems that the whole army is dispatched, with foot soldiers in front and cavalry in the back." The soldier gasped: "The two armies are two hundred paces apart, and it seems that they want to open the tree formation with foot soldiers, and then the cavalry charges." ”

Wei Ba stood up and looked into the distance. It was already dark, and there was only a row of torches in the distance, but nothing more could be seen. The Wei army was lined up in a horizontal row, the width of which was the same as the entire gallop, and the torches were like a line of fire, slowly approaching. Under the torches, the reflection of the Wei army's armor and war knives could be faintly seen.

"Prepare for battle!" Wei Ba didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ordered to prepare. At the sound of the order, all the Wei pawns instinctively got up, picked up their weapons, and entered their combat positions. Dun Wu and twenty soldiers immediately rushed to Wei Ba's side, and formed a shield array with shields, surrounding Wei Ba in the middle.

For the commander's personal guard, charging into battle is only one of the tasks, but it is by no means the most important task. Their most important task is to ensure the safety of the commander. If the main generals died, they would be beheaded, regardless of whether the battle was won or lost. Therefore, these most elite warriors will not easily leave the main general to participate in the war unless necessary.

Amid the rumbling drums of war on both sides, the Wei army was getting closer and closer. When they approached about a hundred paces, some of the soldiers began to shoot.

The arrow departed from the string and flew into the air, drawing an arc and pounced on the Wei army.

"Raise the shield-" With a loud shout, the Wei soldiers raised their riding shields, leaned closely together, and continued to approach forward. The shield of the cavalry belt is a small shield, which is only half the size or even smaller than the shield of the foot soldier. In order to be lightweight, the armor of the cavalry is also lighter than that of the foot soldiers, and relatively speaking, the protection is also smaller. This is also one of the reasons why the cavalry is inferior to the infantry when dismounting.

It was precisely because of this that Wei Ba decided that Sima Shi would not give up the advantage of cavalry to fight with him. In the face of all this, Wei Ba was a little caught off guard, and while observing the formation of the two sides, he quickly analyzed Sima Shi's possible intentions.

He arranged 200 men to block the attack in the front, and another 100 people on the sides and behind him to prevent Sima Shi from sending people to sneak attack his flank and rear, and the remaining 300 men were all supported in his own hands as a mobile liliang in case of accidents.

Although many trees were cut down, the launch of the arrows was still hindered, and the two sides invariably delayed the time of the arrows, until they were fifty paces apart, and then began to fire intensively.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! The sound of arrows galloping was endless, and there were many arrows tied to the ignition in the air, like meteors in the air, piercing the sky and shooting at each other.

Wei Ba had a headache, and Sima Shi seized on his weakness. He cut down a large number of trees to build a tree formation to block the charge of the Wei cavalry, and in order to enhance the effect, he specially kept a large number of branches. It was early winter, and many of these branches had dried up, and they were just a little bit. Just now, the soldiers made a fire and boiled water, and they used these dead branches and leaves.

Now, these advantages became disadvantages, and Sima Shi attacked with rockets, which were fired at the trunk or leaves of the trees, and one click. While shooting arrows and firing back, the soldiers had to pay attention to the fire around them, and from time to time they used their feet to extinguish those rockets. In this way, there is obviously some distraction, and the counterattack does not appear so sharp.

"This kid has two hits." Wei Ba smiled bitterly and praised. He fought with Sima Shi many times, and finally Sima Shi had the upper hand, if he was allowed to burn like this, he would be defeated without fighting. "Come, pour all the water on the tree, and see how he burns."

The soldiers immediately picked up the undrunk water and splashed it around. Although the water contained a little fire, after all, the preparation was insufficient, the amount of water was seriously insufficient, and there were more and more rockets, and the fire in the tree array gradually grew bigger.

Sweat broke down on Wei Ba's forehead.

"Young master, let's retreat a few steps first." Dunwu's face glowed in the firelight, but his eyes were still cold, and he said in a deep voice: "If such a long tree array burns, it is not only bad for us, but also bad for them, and it may not be completely extinguished until tomorrow morning. ”

Wei Ba suddenly realized, nodded again and again, and ordered the soldiers to retreat to the next tree formation, leaving the first tree formation in the west to the Wei army.

Seeing that the Shu army was retreating, the morale of the Wei army soared, and they rushed over, but they were blocked by the burning tree array. To move on, they had to push away these burning trees. This is not easy, not to mention that those burning trees will burn people, and the crossbowmen of the Wei family will not let go of this good opportunity to fight back. They raised their crossbows and searched for their respective targets and delivered precision strikes.

The bow is one of the five soldiers, and as a sharp weapon for long-range strikes, both foot soldiers and cavalry soldiers will pay special attention to this aspect of training. As a strong man among the foot soldiers, the bow and crossbow training of the Wei family's martial arts is of course not bad, and within the distance of thirty or forty steps, it is almost a hundred shots.

The Wei army had to move the burning trees on the one hand, and on the other hand, they had to guard against the enemy's bows and crossbows, and the sharp offensive was immediately thwarted, and the casualties increased sharply. Sima Shi succeeded in attacking Wei Ba with a rocket, but at the same time caused a lot of trouble for himself.

The battlefield is like this, there is no absolute superiority, and there is no absolute disadvantage. Between one advance and one retreat, the advantage may become a disadvantage, and the disadvantage may also become an advantage. It all depends on how the generals on both sides respond and whether their response is timely.

Because of Dunwu's reminder, Wei Ba got out of the predicament in time, and Sima Shi was also prepared for this change. He just kept his face calm and kept ordering the archers to come forward and attack, shooting more rockets at Wei Ba.
