Guo Huai did not make a mistake in his judgment. The entire Han army attacked. However, he saw five thousand cavalry filing out of the camp, accelerating, and shooting like a sharp arrow at the Wei army several miles away.

This was a strategy that Yang Qing and Wei Yan had already agreed on. As soon as the Wei army arrived, they would rush in and catch the opponent by surprise before the Wei army had a firm foothold.

Because if there is any delay, Xia Houru, Guo Huai and others are likely to retreat upon discovering the ambush, so Yang Qing and Wei Yan decided to fight quickly without giving the enemy too much time to think.

Of course, this group of Wei troops is worthy of being an elite division. Even though they were exhausted after marching all night, Cao Yan, who stayed at the station, learned that there was a change ahead and immediately ordered the entire army to mount their horses and fight as a whole. When Xia Houru and Guo Huai returned to the station, the Wei army was almost

Half of them were ready to fight.

"Yande deserves to be like his father, he did a good job." Xia Houru was very satisfied with Cao Yan's ability to handle situations and praised happily.

Cao Yanqian said: "This is the duty of a general."

"Yes." Xia Houru nodded and said to Guo Huai: "Mr. Guo, the matter is urgent. You will immediately lead your troops to fight against the Shu army."

"Yande, please quickly arrange the tiger and leopard cavalry into formation, and be ready for support at any time."

"The remaining generals quickly gathered the panicked soldiers and fought to the death with the Shu army."

The generals immediately received the order: "I will obey the orders of the Commander-in-Chief."

Just as he finished speaking, smoke and dust filled the sky in the distance. It was five thousand Han people who were riding in. The flag in front of his head was very conspicuous. Guo Huai looked up and saw the former general of Han Dynasty, the governor of Yongzhou, and the Marquis of Linchang.

Yang has two columns of big characters.

"It's Yang Qing who came in person?"

Guo Huai was shocked when he saw this. He thought that even though the Shu army was waiting for work and the timing of the attack was just right, it would be wishful thinking to rely on this advantage to defeat his 20,000 elite soldiers in one fell swoop. Although Yang Qing always liked to take risks, he always fell into trouble.

He is extremely cautious when it comes to details and will definitely not do something that he is not sure of. Could it be that he has other means to rely on?

"Your Majesty, there are killing sounds from the north and the south. There seems to be a large number of soldiers and horses coming towards our army in the mountains and forests in the distance?" a guard suddenly shouted.

Guo Huai was not much surprised when he heard this. He had already guessed that there was an ambush in the nearby mountains and forests. Now that it was confirmed, he couldn't help but secretly said that it was true.

"So this is what Yang Qing relies on, but with these methods, this thief is sure of victory?"

Guo Huai still had some doubts in his heart, but the approaching Han army could not allow him to think any longer. He waved his command flag and personally led thousands of fully armored cavalry to charge forward against the Han army's blades.

"The Wei thieves are right in front of us. All the troops follow me to kill him."

In front of the Han army's formation, Yang Qing raised his sword and shouted loudly. Zhou Xing and others were worried about his safety and followed closely to protect him. Although most of the Han soldiers could not hear Yang Qing's shouts, they saw that the commander was leading the way, and his morale was equally high.

Vibrate.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

When they got close, the Han army's skilled horsemen and archers unfurled their bows and arrows, and released waves of arrows at the enemy in front.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...

Immediately afterwards, long-range weapons such as flying spears, flying axes, and flying knives were thrown out continuously, knocking off the Wei troops one after another.

"How could the Shu army's long-range attacks be so intensive? How could their attack movements be so easy? Are these Shu soldiers all elites who are calm and powerful?"

Seeing the Han army launching long-range attacks such as arrow rain, the Wei army was not willing to be outdone and fought back with the same means. However, after a fight, Guo Huai found that his casualties were several times that of his opponent. The two armies had not yet joined forces.

Hundreds of people had fallen off their horses nearby.

"Your Majesty, the stirrups and saddles of the Shu thieves seem a little strange." Guo Gang, the military commander, had a very good eyesight and suddenly noticed something strange about the Han army's horse equipment.

Guo Huai took a closer look and saw that the stirrups and saddles equipped on the Han army's war horses were unusual. When he was surprised, he discovered that there seemed to be something on the raised front hooves of a war horse in the distance.

"Could it be that these weird harnesses make it easier for Shu soldiers to attack on horseback? I know, this is Yang Qing's biggest support. This man is really cunning and cunning."

Guo Huai finally understood the reason why the Han army dared to take the initiative to attack. He also knew that today's battle was the result of a careful design by the Han army. He and others had fallen into the enemy's trap. If he did not make a mistake, he might be in danger of defeat and death.

However, at this time, the two armies had joined forces, and he had no time to regret, let alone do anything to save the situation. He could only concentrate on commanding his troops to fight.

"Yang Qingxiu must be proud. Our Wang division is well-trained and experienced. They are all elite soldiers. It is still unclear whether we will win or lose today?" Guo Huai secretly cheered himself up.

At the same time, Xia Houru, who was arranging his team on a low slope behind, also discovered that the Han army's horse equipment was different, but he had no time to think about countermeasures, so he had to send the teams with equipment ready to the front to join the battle.

"Report, the enemy in the north is less than two miles away from our army, and the leader is Shu general Tao Gong." A scout reported riding up the slope with his fists clasped.

Xia Houru took out a command arrow and handed it to the messenger on the side: "Quickly order General Li Gui to lead his troops to fight against Tao Gong."

"It's an order."

The soldiers were ordered to beat the horses and go away. When they reached the bottom of the slope, they saw another scout passing by and galloping up the mountain.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, the enemy in the south has attacked our army's flanks, and the leader is none other than General Wei Yan of Western Shu. General Xu Gai cannot resist and asks for support."

This Xu Gai was the son of Cao Wei's famous general Xu Huang, who was appointed as General Yamen. This time the Wei army launched a large-scale southern expedition, he also gave up the stable and wealthy life in Luoyang and followed Cao Zhen to the west in an attempt to gain a share of success on the Western Front battlefield.

Although this man is brave and knows the art of war, he is far inferior to his father. How can he be Wei Yan's opponent? After just a stick of incense, his men and horses were killed by the Han army and retreated. The entire formation was almost destroyed.

Weared.

Xia Houru knew that the situation was critical and did not dare to neglect at all. He personally led the three thousand cavalry who had just formed their formation to rescue Xu Gai. With the addition of this new force, the Wei army in the south could hold off Wei Yan's troops.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Haha, it's great, it's great! Equipped with a new type of horse gear, it's really powerful when you rush to kill." Wei Yan bent down and easily dodged the long knife coming from the right side.

Then he waved his right hand and the big sword in his hand killed the attacking enemy.

"Look, sir, that's Xia Houru's general flag."

Wei Yan laughed and said: "Haha, God help me to achieve great achievements. Sons and sons, follow me to kill, capture Xia Houru alive, and let the brothers in Yongzhou see the capabilities of our Liangzhou soldiers and horses."

"Kill." The morale of the Han army was like a rainbow. Following Wei Yan's generals, they charged forward again, and once again the Wei army in the south was unable to retreat after being killed.

At this time, the three Han armies launched wave after wave of fierce attacks from the south, north, and east directions against the Wei army that hastily responded to the battle, and the Wei army was completely divided and broken into several pieces.

Even though the Wei army was slightly stronger and its soldiers were well-trained, it could not withstand the overnight march and was already exhausted of men and horses. In addition, the Han army had sharp horses and had the advantage of being quick and light during the fight. So far, the Wei army has suffered many casualties, almost 10% of them.

The trend of defeat.

"Anyone who captures and kills Xia Houru and Guo Huai will receive a reward of one hundred taels and be promoted to the third level." Seeing that the defeat of the Wei army was certain, Yang Qing took advantage of the situation and added another fire.

When the reward came out, there were thunderous cheers. The morale of each Han army was like a rainbow, and they launched a fierce charge against the enemy in front of them without fear of death. As their horses and horses crisscrossed each other, countless Wei soldiers fell.

"Failed, defeated! Can't stop it!"

Seeing that the battle situation had reached this point, Guo Huai knew that nothing could be done, so he rushed out of the encirclement and found Xia Houru to persuade him: "Captain, please leave the green hills here, don't worry about running out of firewood, retreat."

"Hey, withdraw!" Xia Houru, although reluctant, still issued the order to withdraw.

When the Wei soldiers saw their commander moving the flag back, their morale instantly fell to the bottom. They could no longer resist and retreated one after another. The Han army could not let them go so easily. They chased them one after another and killed the Wei army to death.

Bite.
