Chapter 313: Overwhelming
Wu Yi slapped his thigh, inexplicably excited.
It stands to reason that Wei Ba joined the army and could only serve the military, and should not undertake such a dangerous task as charging into battle. But Wu Yi knows very well that except for Wei Ba, no one can bring everyone together, especially Guan Xing and Feng Jin, who are young people, and now only Wei Ba is the first to look forward, only when Wei Ba comes out, they will give up their lives to accompany each other, and they can really give full play to the momentum of young people. Similarly, only when Wei Ba comes out of battle, the strongest Wei family soldiers can play the role of a spearhead.
If someone else is replaced, who can use the Wei family's military guards?
Without an elite like the Wei family's martial arts, how could he complete the important task of winning more with less?
Wu Yi asked himself that he did not have such appeal, but Meng Da, who barely had some strength to compete with Wei Ba, could not undertake such a task. He will not risk heavy losses to fight for a single victory. For him, it was an adventure that outweighed the losses.
So only Wei Ba will take on this heavy responsibility.
Although he intellectually knew that this important task belonged to Wei Ba, Wu Yi was still very worried, after all, the task of charging into battle was too sinister, once Wei Ba had three strengths and two weaknesses, he would defeat Sima Yi, and he would not be able to offset his responsibility. There is no doubt that Wei Yan will not let him go first, and Prime Minister Zhuge Liang will probably snicker while dealing with him mercilessly.
Wei Ba went into battle and sacrificed his life to fight, and Wu Yi's palms were also sweating. Especially when he saw Wang Shuang's battle flag, Wu Yi even raised his heart to his throat. He didn't know who Wang Shuang was, and he didn't know anything about an ordinary general like Wang Shuang who hadn't fought on the front line for a long time, but he had heard Wei Ba say that Jin Dongliu had been talked about. Knowing that although Jin Dongliu was not famous, he was a talented young general, Sima Yi had been able to show his ability by placing him in the front. And the people who support Jin Dongliu must not be general.
At this moment, Wei Ba faced the interception of the two fierce generals of the Wei army, still cut down Jin Dongliu's battle flag, broke Jin Dongliu's battle formation, and advanced towards the Wei army's Chinese army like a bamboo, the first step of the goal was successfully completed, how could he not be excited?
"Herald. The repeater cart pushes forward. A thousand steps of crossbow ready! Wu Yi issued a few orders in one breath, and then yelled at the command to pass the troops: "Order Meng Da to prepare to attack!" ”
"Whoa!" The herald took the command flag and rushed towards Mengda's position.
Meng Da'an sat on the back of a war horse, and behind him was the personal guard battalion led by Deng Xian. They looked at the battlefield in the distance. While talking softly. The new tactic was to have Wei Ba attack the Wei army positions head-on. Attract the main force of the Wei army. Sima Yi was forced to put the center of gravity of the defense on the front, and then Meng Da attacked the Wei army from the flank.
This was not requested by Meng Da, but by Wei Ba. Actually, they don't mention it that way. Meng Da will also ask for this, he knows the danger of this, and attacks the nearly 20,000 Wei army with more than 10,000 remnants, although there are ordnance to help, the casualties are still not small, Meng Da will not do such a stupid thing.
Until just now, he still didn't believe that Wei Ba could do this, and with a mere attack of 3,000 people, he could shake the frontal position of the Wei army? The reason why he agreed to this jihua was, to some extent, just to stop attacking Fan Cheng and take a breath. Now that he saw Wei Ba quickly cut down Jin Dongliu's battle banner and crushed the Wei army's frontal position, he really felt that this might be an opportunity.
"I didn't expect this shaft to be so strong." Meng Da muttered: "Sure enough, if there is a father, there must be a son, Wei Yan is brave and invincible, and the sons born are all brave. ”
"If I had that strong guard, I could do it." Deng Xian muttered.
Meng Da glanced at him: "The Wei family's martial arts are not born, they were trained by their father and son. If you have such ambitions, my subordinates can choose whatever you want, and you can also train such a personal guard. ”
Deng Xian shrunk his neck: "Uncle, I don't dare to have such extravagant hopes, so I'd better leave it to my cousin." ”
"He, it's even more impossible." Meng Da sighed, didn't want to mention the unsuccessful son again, and whipped a little: "Ziyi, prepare to do it, Sima Yi may soon change formations." ”
"Whoa." Deng Xian responded, paying full attention to the battle formation of the Wei army.
Breaking through Jin Dongliu's battle formation and capturing Jin Dongliu and Wang Shuang, the morale of the Shu army was greatly boosted, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became. However, the morale of the Wei army plummeted, some knelt down and surrendered, and some turned around and ran. The Shu army was in hot pursuit, like a duck, driving the rout to the next position of the Wei army.
In the face of the defeated robe, the Wei army was at a loss, neither daring to get out of the way, nor willing to shoot arrows to kill, so they could only let go of their throats and shout, signaling the rout to run to both sides of the large array and not to attack the position head-on. Some of the soldiers heard it and ran to the sides, while some were already distracted, and they didn't notice what their companions were shouting at all, but just ran backwards with their heads bored, bent on running out of the pursuit of the Shu army. When they found someone in front of them in the way, they raised their swords without hesitation.
Death to those who stand in my way!
Many people rushed into the positions of the Wei army and threw the positions into chaos. In the face of their comrades who had lost their minds, the Wei soldiers on the position could only raise their swords and cut down these routed soldiers to the ground one by one. However, these routs still caused them a lot of trouble, and the Shu army then arrived and took advantage of the situation to fight into the battle.
Zhang Wei walked as fast as flying, led his subordinates to stab obliquely, and shouted as he ran: "Ziyu, this time it's my turn." ”
As soon as his words fell, Zhang Shao, who was holding a spear in both hands, hurried in and replied: "Zhang Shimeng, don't want to rob Lao Tzu's head." ”
Zhang Wei changed color when he heard this, spat on it, and scolded: "You have a knighthood, do you still want to take credit?" If you want to rob, you can do it! While roaring angrily, he desperately slaughtered into the enemy group, raising his sword and killing three people in a row.
Not to be outdone, Zhang Shao shook the spear in his hand, the spear shadow flickered, and he killed the two in an instant. While rushing to kill, he shouted: "Lao Tzu's title is attacked, and it is useless for you to be red." ”
The two of them were like a game, leading their subordinates to fight bravely, killing the Wei army and crying bitterly.
……
Sima Yi gripped the railing tightly, his joints turned white, and his eyes were full of disbelief and surprise.
Wei Ba not only broke Jin Dongliu's battle formation, but also easily defeated Wang Shuang, now that the battle flags of these two people are gone, the rout will in turn impact the formation, which will dampen the confidence of the soldiers and further affect the morale.
Wei Ba actually has such a strong combat power? As soon as Sima Yi's eyes rolled, he thought of the Wei family's martial arts. From the information he got from all sides, he already knew the combat effectiveness of the Wei family's martial arts and made corresponding preparations, but he didn't expect that the preparation was still far from enough.
Alas, there are no large ballistae, and the lethality of only a strong bow and an ordinary arm crossbow is indeed somewhat insufficient. Sima Yi sighed. He heard that Wei Ba had improved the iron-smelting jishu, the war knives of the Wei family warriors were sharper, the battle armor of the Wei family warriors was stronger, and the damage of ordinary bows and crossbows to them might be limited, if there were more lethal crossbows or even crossbow carts, it would be much better. But he came in too haste, and these large crossbows were still behind, and they would not arrive until noon tomorrow.
This is the ill of rapid marching. Speed comes at a price.
Sima Yi sighed, and suddenly regretted it. The last time he was in Fangling, he led a large army to travel 1,200 miles in a hurry, preparing to hit Meng Da by surprise, but Zuihou fell short, because in the face of Fangling City, there was no large-scale attack tool, so he could only storm in the form of ants. This time, it seems to be similar to the last time, and because the rapid march could not carry large combat equipment, and there were superior forces, but they could not break through the position of the Shu army, and now they were pressed and beaten by the Shu army.
The soldiers are fast and surprisingly successful, and sometimes they need the cooperation of the other party. is unexpected, more of a catch on the other party's flaws, if the other party has no flaws, no matter how strange it is, it is useless. This was the case now, his rapid march did not cause the collapse of the Shu army, but instead pushed himself into an unfavorable situation.
This is a well-thought-out opponent. Sima Yi sighed secretly.
"Zhongda, it seems to be a little tight on the front." Xin Bi walked up to Sima Yi's side and reminded softly.
"It doesn't matter." Sima Yi shook his head: "Although the Shu army is brave, they are not strong enough, and it is difficult for them to break through our army's position head-on. I'm worried about the flanks. The Wu army on the left flank was frightened by us and did not dare to go ashore, but the right flank was not safe. George, did you notice, the besieging Mengda never appeared. Will he always be on the sidelines? ”
Xin Bi raised his eyebrows: "He's waiting for an opportunity?" ”
"Hmm." The corners of Sima Yi's mouth twitched, revealing a contemptuous smile: "Meng Da is cunning repeatedly, Zhuge Liang will not trust him, and he will not trust Zhuge Liang." Will he put his strength together? No, he certainly won't. As long as I hold the Chinese army and don't give him a chance, he won't attack. So, our real enemies are these people. ”
Sima Yi pointed to the battlefield that was being slaughtered: "Defeat them, Meng Da will leave without a fight, and our mission will be completed." ”
Sima Yi was halfway through his words, and suddenly felt a little uneasy, he stopped talking and groaned. Seeing this, Xin Bi hurriedly asked, "Zhongda, what's wrong?" ”
Sima Yi wrinkled his eyebrows in contemplation, and gently patted the railing with his big hand: "I seem to have something missing, but I can't remember what it is for a while." ”
Xin Bi was taken aback, the omission of certain factors on the battlefield is very fatal, no one can say whether that factor will affect the entire battlefield, there are too many things that determine the outcome because of a small matter. The Battle of Chibi was because the northern soldiers did not adapt to the water and soil in the south, and the epidemic broke out, which caused Cao Cao to return and lost the opportunity to dominate the world. Sima Yi is known for being thoughtful, how could he make such a mistake?
"What did you miss? Is it ours, or is it Shu Han's? ”
"As far as I know, in Fangling, there were originally three people, Meng Da, Zong Pre, and one was Wei Yan's eldest son, Wei Feng. Although Wei Feng's reputation is not obvious, since he is Wei Ba's brother, he will not be too bad. Sima Yi turned his head and exchanged a look with Xin Bi: "But since the battle, Weishenme has not heard the news of Wei Feng and Zong Pre?" ”
Xin Bi frowned: "They haven't appeared in Fancheng all this time?" ”
"Not all the time."
"That'...... Will you stay in Fangling? ”
"It's possible, but what if it's not the case, and one of them has already arrived in Fancheng?"
Simbi gasped. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
