Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

140 Retreat

Cao Zhen stood on the gentle slope, looking at the distant battlefield solemnly. Although it was the middle of the winter night, sweat was dripping from his back.

Huang Quan had already cast a shadow on him. He wanted to take advantage of his unpreparedness and attack the camp at night, but he didn't expect that the Han army was already prepared.He couldn't help but doubt whether the Han army in Weibei was a suspicious soldier. Huang Quan lured himself to attack the camp, and when he attacked, he took the opportunity to attack the army that attacked the camp.

On the trail at night, the sergeant holding the torch walked through it non-stop, and a copy of the military information on the front line was sent to Cao Zhen.

"Report to the general, our army's raid on the east gate of the camp failed, and the losses were heavy. General Hao asked the general to send more crossbowmen to support the troops!"

"Our army's raid at the south gate failed, causing heavy casualties. General Xiahou asked the general to send reinforcements."

Cao Zhen frowned slightly, and asked, "How much is the current loss of the two departments?"

The messenger lowered his head and replied: "The two armies have lost a total of a thousand people. This is the fourth attack."

"Order General Dai Ling to dispatch 500 people to support the east and south gates."

"promise!"

The messenger promised, took Cao Zhen's military order, and hurried down the gentle slope to Dailing to deliver the order.

Cao Zhen looked at the brightly lit battlefield, and couldn't help but clenched the ring sword around his waist, hoping that Huang Quan would be as he thought.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of the drums of the Wei army did not stop for almost a moment, and the brave soldiers from Yongzhou of the Wei State kept rushing forward to attack.

Zhao Rong was stationed on the ground with a lance, his face was sweating like rain, he squatted on the ground, panting heavily.Because there were too many recruits under his command, Zhao Rong had no choice but to go to the battlefield in person.

Wei Jun seemed to realize that the Han army in front of him was not elite, and its offensive wave after wave did not give the Han army any chance to breathe.

Fortunately, General Wei ordered himself and others in advance to repair the camp and strengthen the defense first. In addition, WISCO cars were used as walls, so that the Wei army could not fully deploy its forces, and thus withstood the continuous offensive of the Wei army.

The sound of shouting and killing reappeared, Zhao Rong only felt his scalp tingling for a while, and the khaki-colored figure of Wei Jun appeared outside the camp again.

Zhao Rong was a little bit emotional, the battle of the Wei army was much stronger than that of the soldiers of Wu in the south. After returning from this battle, they still need to screen out the old and weak and train the soldiers diligently.

The red flag of the central army of the Han army waved and the drums sounded.

Zhao Rong calmed down for a while, he knew that it was General Wei Huang Quan who had sent reinforcements.

Although there are more recruits in the reinforcements, their soldiers have a high rate of armor and stricter military discipline, which is stronger than themselves and their subordinates.

The yellow figures outside the village became more and more dense and approaching. Zhao Rong took someone's water bag, raised his head and drank a swig, threw it on the ground, and charged into the army formation with his spear.

"Wan Sheng!"

Zhao Rong raised his spear high and roared angrily, and led the guards behind him to constantly patrol the defensive line. If there was a breakthrough, he would personally step forward to block the gap and fight.

With the blowing of horns and drums on both sides, waves of red and yellow fighting intertwined; at every moment, soldiers died mourning, and the coaches of both sides were full of indifference.

The huge crimson banner stood on the watchtower, Huang Quan had his hands behind his back, his eyes were not looking at the place where the two armies were fighting, but at the gentle slope where Cao Zhen was.

At five quarters of Yin time (4:15), the north wind blew past, Cao Zhen couldn't help tightening the coat on his shoulders, and then sent another thousand soldiers from the Chinese army to support the front line.

Huang Quan was on the watchtower, and he could see the whole battlefield situation at a glance, and he couldn't hide any changes of the Wei army.

Seeing this, the corners of Huang Quan's mouth rose, and a large number of torches on the gentle slope of Cao Jun's army moved to the front of the formation. At this time, the torches on the gentle slope were slightly sparse.

In order to ensure that his judgment was correct, Huang Quan followed the moving torches to the front of the battle.

Huang Quan immediately seized the fleeting fighter and raised his hand to signal the order. The red flag waved by the Han army herald suddenly sounded in the forest, and the Han cavalry lurking in the middle of the night dispatched.

This is Huang Quan's tactic. He had already expected Cao Zhen to attack. While setting up the camp, he dispatched the remaining Han cavalry to lurk in the field. Cao Zhen.

Mi Wei got the order, led five hundred Han cavalry, and came straight to Cao Zhen's army.However, in order to confuse the cavalry of the Wei army, Miwei made preparations early. He ordered his men to separate two hundred riders, hold up more torches, tie the horses' tails to branches, and stir up smoke and dust in an attempt to confuse the Wei army, and then made them accelerate towards the besieging army. The soldiers of the Wei army rushed away with their backs.

However, Miwei personally led [-] cavalry to ride slowly, slowly approaching the gentle slope, waiting for the Wei army's cavalry to be attracted and leave.

Sure enough, Cao Zhen immediately ordered Wei Qi to run towards the Han cavalry who appeared on the battlefield.

Miwei tilted his head all the time, looking to see if Wei Qi appeared in the center of the battlefield. At this moment, he saw countless torches moving forward in the dark night, the earth shook, and he went straight to the bait soldiers he sent.

Immediately, Mi Wei roared, and the cavalry under his command lit torches, and at the same time swung their whips to urge the horses to rush towards the gentle slope.Mi Wei crawled on the horse's back, trotting across the plain with the help of the faint light of the moonlight.

When approaching the gentle slope, Miwei speeded up his horse, and with the sound of heavy hooves, he lit a torch, and hundreds of horsemen behind him, like ghosts, suddenly sped out from the night.

Mi Wei Pegasus rushed to the front, only to feel that the surroundings were pitch black, and could only keep running towards the place with light.However, when they were running for dozens of steps, arrows shot towards them like locusts, and the cavalry who rushed shoulder to shoulder with Mi Wei were instantly hit by arrows, and they fell off their horses and died without a sound.

Mi Wei crouched on the horse's back, waved his spear repeatedly, and fended off the two arrows shot at the horse.Another arrow hit the nail leaf on his side, sparks shot out, and then slid away.

After a few breaths, Miwei slammed into the sparse torches.

With a long lance under his armpit, Mi Wei stabbed it straight into the chest of a Wei soldier in front, and then pulled out the lance with his backhand. The three hundred Han cavalry behind him also crashed into the formation, using knives and guns to kill Wei soldiers wantonly
The soldiers of the Wei army fled in fear, and Mi Wei went straight to Cao Zhen's banner, but at this time Cao Zhen and his banner had disappeared, leaving only the soldiers of the Chinese army entangled with Mi Wei and others.

The Han cavalry hacked and killed the fleeing Wei army, trying to expand the results of the battle, but they were entangled by Wei army cavalry pawns who appeared from nowhere.The two cavalry fought together again. The Wei army's cavalry was obviously more elite, and their horses were taller. The Han cavalry was no match at all.

Miwei led his personal guards to fight left and right, and finally led the remaining Han cavalry out of the formation, but was driven to the direction of Weishui by Wei cavalry behind him, blocking his attempt to join the army.

Not long after the Miwei cavalry were driven away, Cao Zhen's big flag reappeared down the slope, and then under Cao Zhen's order, Ming Jin blew the retreat signal, and the soldiers of the Wei army who were fighting fiercely retreated slowly to the east.

(The Battle of Weishui is the first time I have tried to write a game of military tactics between the two sides. I hope to write in depth. If you have any suggestions, you can put them here!)
