Chapter 313 Battle at Street Pavilion (4)
The next morning, Zhang He asked the soldiers to have a full meal and then prepared to launch his first attack to test the combat power of the Han army.
"He Di, you lead three thousand troops to attack the Shu army on the mountain." In the big tent, Zhang He's opponent's side general ordered.
"promise."
Zhang He looked at the lower left and shouted: "Where is Pan Yu?"
"The last one will be here." Pan Yu went out of the line and replied with his fists.
Zhang He said: "You lead three thousand troops to attack the enemy at the foot of the mountain, and be sure to seize the Shu army camp to control the water source."
"Affect the order."
Zhang He nodded slightly, then pointed another general to guard the camp, and then looked at the other generals and said, "The others followed someone to lead 6,000 cavalry as enemies in Jieting City."
Since the arrangement was decided, the Wei army divided into three groups to kill the Han army. There were already sentry surveys to Yang Qing, Guan Xing and Wang Ping. Seeing Zhang He using troops like this, Yang Qing immediately understood that he was a temptation, so he ordered Guan Xing and Wang Ping to respond calmly and not be able to stand out.
Zhang He led the elite of Wei. Thousands of cavalry rushed to the outside of Jieting City in the blink of an eye, as if they had shaken the earth a few times, causing smoke and dust to spread all over the sky.
Although it came very quickly, the flag team was still strict, which shows how well the Wei army was trained.
These cavalry were all warriors carefully selected by Cao Wei from the army. Everyone was tall and strong, wearing black iron armor, holding exquisite weapons, and the horses were also fat and strong. The troops and horses were in harmony, and their combat power was amazing.
"June, the Wei army's elite cavalry is fierce, and it is indeed a strong enemy." Zhou Xing sighed at the Wei cavalry who was divided into four square formations under the city.
Before Yang Qing could answer, Buddy beside him said dissatisfiedly: "Cao Zhou, why should you increase the ambitions of others and destroy your own prestige? Although the Wei army is strong, our Han army is not a mud. What's more, our Wudang Flying Army has been defeated since its establishment. We have never been defeated. How could we be afraid of the Wei cavalry?"
"It's good to have this spirit, but Badi, don't underestimate the Wei army. In front of us, our army was caught off guard by Lian Zhan and Lian Jie in Longyou. The central army of Cao Wei is very powerful, especially since their cavalry has rarely had any opponents in the world since they followed Cao Cao to fight the world, so they should not be underestimated." Yang Qing said seriously.
When Buddy saw the Wei army's posture, he actually knew that the Central Plains cavalry was far from comparable to those of the ponies and cavalry in the south center before, but his fierceness made him not easily show weakness. However, after hearing Yang Qing's warning, he naturally clasped his fists and said that it was.
"June, what does the Wei army mean?" Gu Lizha asked in confusion as he saw two square formations moving south at this time.
Yang Qing said: "They want to block our way to reinforce Nanshan. It seems that the main attack direction of the Wei army is still in Nanshan."
"Then how should I deal with it?" Gu Lizha asked anxiously.
Yang Qing smiled and said, "The troops are the same. Our army defends, and we will always respond to changes. Besides, we must believe in the abilities of General Guan and General Wang, and they can definitely defend them."
Guan Xing's ability is not to be said much. Although Wang Ping's reputation is not obvious at this moment, Yang Qing knew that this person was also the principal of the general. In his original history, Wang Ping shined in the Northern Expedition, made great achievements, and quickly rose to become a senior general of Ji Han, and was highly valued by Zhuge Liang.
Moreover, Wang Ping had fought with Zhang He twice, blocking Zhang He's attack twice, performing extraordinaryly, and making great contributions.
It can be said that at least Wang Ping alone is enough to match Zhang He in the defensive battle, not to mention that there is still Xing and Yang Qing himself. Yang Qing is not worried about having such a lineup.
"That person should be Zhang He, right?" Yang Qing said, pointing to a majestic veteran in front of the Wei army.
Zhou Xing said: "Picking the flag behind him, I think this person is Zhang He."
Yang Qing nodded and said, "Well, you must remember Zhang He's appearance. This is a famous general who has been famous for decades. If you have the opportunity to ask him for advice."
Zhou Xing and others naturally understood what Yang Qing meant and responded in unison: "Don't worry, lord, we understand."
At the foot of the Nanshan Mountain, He Di saw that Pan Yu had led three thousand soldiers to the attack position in the north, and then raised his right hand to signal the trumpet to blow the trumpet. With the sound of the trumpet, the 6,000 Wei troops launched an attack on Guan Xing's army and Wang Ping's army.
"Shoot the arrow." Seeing that the Wei army was already in the range of the mountains, Guan Xing waved the flag in his hand and shouted loudly.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, arrows were like rain, and many charge Wei army were instantly caught and fell to the ground. Of course, the Wei army also reacted very quickly. The shield player quickly raised his shield to block the arrows for the robes behind him. The Wei army's archers also took the opportunity to shoot arrows and counterattack, and they could not just be beaten and not fight back.
However, the Han army was condescending, and the Wei army climbed the mountain and attacked. In short, the Han army had the advantage, and the Wei army suffered many losses.
"Prepare to roll the wood and roll stones, let it go." Guan Xing gave another order.
He was trying to break the Wei army's shield formation. He saw the wooden rolling stone falling down the hillside quickly and hit the Wei army's shield in an instant. The huge force made the shield hands unable to resist. Many Wei soldiers were killed and injured because they could not dodge. Many Wei soldiers had many holes in the Wei army's shield formation. The Han army archers took the opportunity to take the opportunity to shoot arrows and kill the enemy.
He Di, who was behind the Wei army, was anxious when he saw that his side suffered heavy losses, but he knew that this was the price of attacking. He asked the drummer to speed up the fighting and encourage the morale of the soldiers. He believed in the patience of his soldiers, because this was the morale of the army condensed in decades of war.
On the other side, under the north slope, the Han and Wei armies were also fighting hard. Because they were fighting on the plains, Pan Yu's situation was much better than He Di. Of course, Wang Ping was under much pressure, and on the other hand, he was much more stressed than Guan Xing.
However, Wang Ping did not panic because of his few soldiers. He looked calm and calm, and his tone of orders to the soldiers was extremely calm and calm.
The soldiers below calmed down when they saw the chief general so steady and counterattacked in an orderly manner. The Wudang Flying Army's superb archery skills were fully utilized, and a large number of Wei soldiers outside the camp had fallen.
"How come this Shu army is so powerful?"
Pan Yu had long lost his previous confidence. He attacked with three times his troops but could not even touch the edge of Shuzhai. As soon as he approached, he would be shot and killed by the Shu army.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Are these Shu thieves all the archers?" Pan Yu roared angrily.
After saying that, Pan Yu snatched the shield of the guard beside him, raised his sword and shouted loudly: "My sons, follow me to kill and break through the Shu camp. Kill!"
He was ruthless and prepared to take the lead in charge to inspire morale. Sure enough, the Wei soldiers saw that the commander was so brave and immediately boosted their morale. Everyone served their lives and flocked to the Han army camp without fear of death.
Although these Wei soldiers were cavalry, they were more likely to be dismounted than ordinary infantry. At this time, the blood of the Wei soldiers was extremely aroused, and they rushed forward one after another. The shield hand blocked the Han army's arrows, and the archers took the opportunity to fight back. The two covered each other and moved forward alternately, and they actually stabilized their positions and were no longer as chaotic as before.
Inside the village wall, Wang Ping couldn't help but secretly praised: "The elite of the Wei army is really extraordinary, and the combat power is still as strong as Cao Cao at that time."
He had worked in the Cao army before, and he knew the combat power of the Wei army very well. Seeing that the Wei army was still so brave and good at fighting after so many years, he could not help but feel moved.
Although the Wei army's sharp counterattack finally caused damage to the Han army, Wang Ping still looked as if nothing had happened. He was not panicked because there were ten levels of deer antlers outside the camp to resist horses, and the Wei army was busy.
"Get some bow."
The conspicuous Pan Yu attracted Wang Ping's attention, and he planned to take action to see if he could shoot him.
Wang Ping concentrated his mind and energy, took a bow and arrow, and kept adjusting the angle to lock Pan Yu's position. However, after arousing the morale of the Wei army, this guy unknowingly retreated back into the formation, and there were shields of personal guards on both sides, so it was really hard to find a good opportunity.
After half a cup of tea, Wang Ping finally saw a blank space and uttered a word lightly, and saw a sharp arrow heading straight for Pan Yu like a meteor.
"ah!"
With a scream, Pan Yu held his right arm in pain, and the iron arrow suddenly penetrated into his right arm.
"Oh, what a pity!" Wang Ping couldn't help but sigh when he saw that he had not taken down the enemy general's life.
The arrow was originally aimed at Pan Yu's face, but because he was walking constantly and the guards beside him almost pulled him when they saw the opportunity, he escaped.
However, this had already caused Pan Yu a lot of fright. He quickly called Jin to withdraw his troops and returned to the back formation to bandage the wound.
