Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 225 The Battle of Leqieshui ([-])
Leqie water flows into Huangshui from south to north, and Huangshui flows mightily to the east.

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the surface of Huangshui and Leqieshui rivers, sparkling and dazzling.

The army of Guo Huai, the governor of Wei Liangzhou and the general who conquered Shu, stationed here, ten miles away from the former army of Dai Ling.

Guo Huai walked on the river beach with the setting sun on his back, followed by the generals of the Wei Army behind him.

"How is the situation recently? Is there any movement of Wei Yan's troops in the Shu army?" Guo Huai said, looking at the calm river.

"At the end of the day, the general will send rangers to search all the canyons within a radius of [-] miles, and there is no trace of Wei Yan's army." Wei Ping reported in a deep voice.

Guo Huai frowned slightly, looked at the river, and said: "A few days ago, how was the interrogation of the captured Shu soldiers?"

"They are the soldiers under Wu Yi's tent, the general of Shu, and they don't know Wei Yan's movements. They only know that Wei Yan led the army to the west, and basically left all the food and grass to Wu Yi." Wei Ping reported.

"Is there any news from Xidu County?" Guo Huai asked.

Wei Ping reported truthfully: "Yes, the prefect of Xiping County sent news that Wei Yan's troops were collecting grain and grass to the west of Anyi County and raiding Xidu County."

After hesitating for a while, Wei Ping continued: "General Guo, is it possible that Wei Yan is not here, but far away in the Western Capital."

Guo Huai was a little confused, could it be that Wei Yan was so short-sighted, and just let Wu Yi stick to the camp, but he went deep into Huangzhong and attacked Xidu County.

Doesn't he know that once Wu Yi is defeated, it's only a matter of time before Wei Yan's army survives?
Dai Ling thought for a while, and suggested: "Maybe Wei Yan wants Wu Yi to stick to the camp and turn around to rescue after he captures Xiping County by himself. At that time, the two forces of the Shu army will converge, and their strength will not be inferior to ours. Fight now."

Faced with the current situation, Guo Huai had to agree with Dai Ling's judgment. After all, all traces showed that Wei Yan's army was not here, but went deep into Xiping County to attack the city.

Guo Huai glanced at Dai Ling and said, "General Dai's words are reasonable, but given the current situation, what should we do now?"

Dai Ling pondered for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "I think we can attack Wu Yi and destroy him, and then move westward to destroy the Wei Yan Shu army."

Hearing this, Guo Huai muttered a few times and said, "Are you going to attack Wu Yi?"

After thinking over and over again, Guo Huai ordered in a deep voice, "Yes, General Dai will lead an army to attack Wu Yi's troops tomorrow, and I will hold the battle for the general here."

"No!" Dai Ling replied.

Guo Huai waved his hands and said, "The general will return to the camp and prepare. Tomorrow we will see the general break through Shu."

Dai Ling clapped his hands in response, slowly retreated, turned around and walked west.

Guo Huai looked at Dai Ling's back and let out a long breath.

Although all the current circumstances point to Wei Yan being in Xidu County, Guo Huai still feels that Wei Yan is cheating.After all, once Wu Yi is defeated, it is only a matter of time before Wei Yan's troops are defeated.

From the beginning to now, Guo Huai has always felt that Wei Yan used Wu Yi as his attraction, and then led the Wei army to attack.

But the weird thing is this, Wei Yanyuan is in Xidu County, how can he go around and attack behind him, unless his guess is wrong, otherwise he is really confused.

That's why Guo Huai asked Dai Ling to attack Wu Yi, not simply to defeat Wu Yi, but to see how Wei Yan would react after the Wei army attacked Wu Yi, so as to see the real intention of the Shu army.

If Wu Yi's mission is really to stop the enemy, Wei Yanzhi will definitely speed up the progress of the siege in Xiping County, and he can take advantage of the situation to destroy Wu Yi; if Wu Yi's mission is to lure the enemy, to attract himself to attack, Wei Yan's subordinates will definitely show up, and even if they don't show up, there will be traces of them.

And I personally set up a camp ten miles away to suppress the formation, the real purpose is to keep a first-hand guarantee.If Wei Yan appeared behind the army, he could stop it. If he appeared on Dai Ling's flank, he could also assist Dai Ling to retreat safely.

Guo Huai thought about another matter, and told everyone: "Remember to set up a water village by the Huangshui River to prevent Wei Yan from going eastward by boat to rescue."

The next day, the morning sun dispelled the night, and the rising sun shone on the clouds, and the radiance instantly illuminated the Huangshui Valley.

After the three drums, the Wei troops of all ministries, under the command of flags and bugles, marched out from the gate of the camp in neat steps.

The general of the Wei army riding a tall horse walked through the gaps in the queue, loudly boosting the morale of the soldiers, telling the rewards for breaking the stronghold, and describing the post-war military achievements to the soldiers.

The shield-hand held the huge shield high and walked slowly in front, while the elite infantry behind them all wore armor and held spears, which were placed on the shield, forming a dense jungle.The crossbowmen held crossbows and carried bows and arrows, and slowly advanced towards the Han army camp like a rainbow.

The left and right cavalry were cruising on both sides, covering the advance of the army and preventing the cavalry of the Han army from leaving the village to attack the flanks of the army.

Amidst the sound of bugles, the yellow wave slowly moved towards the Han army camp on the high ground.

The Han army camp was stationed on the Gebei Tangdi, which was adjacent to the foot of the North Mountain, more than [-] meters higher, and commanding a commanding height.

Under the banner of the Han army, Wu Yi was dressed in bright armor and a Shu brocade battle robe, standing tall and straight on the high platform, looking at the approaching Wei army.

Wu Yi looked at the two armies that were about to collide, and ordered his left and right sides to say: "The whole army obeys the order. Anyone who loses antlers today will be killed immediately!"

"No!" The left and right responded.

At the antlers, the generals of the Han army were waiting in strict formation. The general stood on a high place and looked out. Seeing that the Wei army had entered the attack range, he waved the flag and ordered the soldiers in the front row to shoot a volley.

The sound of swishing through the air, tearing the air, sounded from the Han army formation, and thousands of Han bows mixed with kicking crossbows shot together.Bursts of arrow rain slid out countless parabolas in the air, and rained down on Wei Jun like raindrops.

The shield-holding soldiers of the Wei army shrunk their heads and did not dare to stand up. They raised their shields and walked slowly upwards, only to hear the arrow feathers hitting the wooden shield continuously, making a "squeaky" sound, and it seemed that they could still hear the aftershock of the arrow's tail. Voice.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

At this time, in the Wei army's formation, the passionate drum sounded suddenly and spread throughout the Wei army's front formation.

"Wan Sheng!"

Behind the shield wall, the soldiers of the Wei army shouted slogans and stepped forward quickly behind the shield wall with strong morale.

When the Wei army approached the antlers, the soldiers of the Wei army who were hiding behind the shield wall raised their spears and stabbed upwards, while the soldiers of the Han army lowered their spears and stabbed downwards.

For a while, the Han and Wei armies fought across the antlers, stabbing each other with spears and spears.

Because the antlers were placed in the center of the army, neither side dared to get too close to avoid being stabbed by the sharpened logs on the antlers.

The goal of the Wei Army's army was to destroy the antlers, so that the follow-up army could enter and attack the Han army camp smoothly; the Han army was to stick to the antler defense line, because once the antler defense line fell, the Han army camp would not be far from being destroyed.

The Han army was condescending, and the crossbowmen did not rest, but kept throwing shots behind the front; the Wei army also shot forward behind the front; the bows and arrows of the two armies came and went in an endless stream .

The two armies were locked in a stalemate, and the Wei and Han armies replaced their soldiers almost at the same time. The soldiers who had been fighting for a long time retreated to rest and let the fresh troops join the battlefield.

If you look at it from a height, the soldiers of the Wei and Han armies in the front line are fighting bravely, but the soldiers in the back are eating and resting.

However, long before the battle started, several waiting cavalry came out from the west gate of the camp in the early morning, and went up the Huangshui River in the dark, heading for Wei Yan's army!

(I'm so sleepy tonight, I almost fell asleep, I don't know if there is a logical error...)
