Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 229 The Battle of Leqieshui (End)
Wei Jun slammed into the corner of the formation that had been chamfered many times with a cone-shaped formation, like a sharp knife stabbing at a person's chest.

"Raise the spear!" The general of the Han army roared angrily.

In the next moment, the Wei army sank into the already sparse spear phalanx of the Han army.

The spears in the hands of the soldiers of the Han army were broken by the rushing cavalry. The huge impact force of the horses transmitted this force to the soldiers of the Han army, causing the soldiers of the Han army to fly into the air and fall into the crowd.

In this way, the soldiers of the Han army were either stabbed through the chest by the galloping horses, or knocked over the shield by the horses, fell to the ground and were trampled to death by the rebels.

However, the turmoil at the corner of the formation was only temporary, and the captain of the Han Army had already led his soldiers to support them to block the gap.

"Send the signal, go out!" Wei Yan shouted holding a long spear.

At the junction of the Han army's right formation and the front formation, an opening was suddenly opened, and Wei Yan led four hundred Han cavalry to file out through the opening.

At this time, it can be seen from the sky that the four hundred Han cavalry led by Wei Yan circled an arc and went straight to the Wei army who was attacking the corner of the right wing, forming a staggered pattern of one vertical and one horizontal on the ground.

Wei Yan's face was ferocious, with the horse's lance between his arms, the horse continued to speed up, and holding the long lance, he rushed straight towards the side of Wei Jun's trapped cavalry.

Wei Jun's trapped cavalry had no time to turn the horse's head, and was directly cut into two sections by the Han cavalry.Seeing this, the rangers of the Wei army raided the formation and surrounded them for support.

"Kill!" Wei Yan roared, and the sharp tip of the spear pierced directly into the chest of the Wei Jun cavalry's terrified faces, and raised it high.

"Wan Sheng!" The momentum was like a broken bamboo, and four hundred Han cavalry rushed directly into the Wei cavalry formation, and all those who stood in the way fell off their horses and fell to the ground.

In an instant, hundreds of Wei soldiers fell off their horses as soon as they met each other, and the remnants turned their horses' heads tremblingly and fled in all directions.

"Wei Liang, you take a hundred people to disperse the Rangers." Wei Yan panted slightly and said.

"Promise!" Wei Liang led a hundred cavalry to meet the outflanking cavalry.

Wei Yan laughed grimly, turned his horse's head, and shouted: "Boys, follow me to the battle!"

"Wan Sheng!" Han Qi shouted.

Wei Yanting galloped forward, leading the Han cavalry in a conical formation, and rushed to the back of the Wei army's cavalry who were fighting fiercely with the Han army.

Seeing this, Guo Huai on the high ground had a look of incredulity on his face. He gasped and said, "Wei Yan is so brave and capable of battle!"

Just as Guo Huai sighed, Wei Yan is brave and good at fighting, and has an extremely strong sense of the ability to capture the battlefield.

Wei Yan was promoted from a low-level pawn in Rongwu to a commander-in-chief, and his specialty is the ability to seize fleeting opportunities on the battlefield.This ability is not only a talent, but also a result of long-term military experience.

And Guo Huai, as a hero of the Guo family in Taiyuan, how could he have experience in fighting in various military formations.

In terms of combat ability, even Zhuge Liang is hard to match Wei Yan, but if it is better than military strategy Wei Yan, it is naturally difficult to match Zhuge Liang.

Guo Huai thought about it for a while now, now that Jiang Wei's cavalry came out, Wei Yan led the cavalry, and now it was the last fight.And if you don't send soldiers to support, when Wei Yan attacks the army formation with his back and the general formation is defeated, the Wei army will be defeated!

"Move eight hundred elites to step forward to support!" Guo Huai ordered.

After hesitating for a while, the personal guard said: "General, if 800 people from the Chinese army come forward to support, we only have 500 people from the Chinese army. I am afraid that the general will not be safe here."

Guo Huai sent 8000 people, the right wing first sent 3000 people, the front sent 2000 people, Jiang Wei sent 1000 people, and the rear army sent 700 people to harass on foot.Now if we send 800 people to support, the Chinese army really only has 500 people left.

Guo Huai looked at the battle situation, and said in a deep voice: "Qixia's ambush has been dispatched, the four hundred cavalry of Wei Yan's army have dispatched, and the Han army has no backup."

"No!" The guard replied.

Guo Huai waved the flag of the Chinese army, and the Chinese army sent another thousand people to support the soldiers of the Wei army who were besieging the right wing.

When Guo Huai dispatched his troops, Wei Yan was leading the Han cavalry to attack the Wei army's infantry.

Wei Yan yelled angrily, and stabbed forward with a lance. The lance of Zhang Bachi pierced straight into the chest of a Wei soldier. The blade penetrated the chest and back, and then pierced the ground.

Wei Yan let go of the lance, the horse continued to sprint for a few steps, and then drew the lance backhand.

Wei Yan twisted his waist and exerted strength, Zhang Ba Chang lance swept forward, Wei Jun's sinking horse was swept by the tip of the lance, and the sound of "click" and shattering of the head was heard.Wei Jun fell to the ground and died when his helmet cracked and he was hit hard on the head.

Suddenly, Wei Yan caught sight of it from the corner of his eyes, and nearly a thousand Wei Jun came to support him.

"Let Wei Liang come back! Let's go for a while" Wei Yan stroked his beard and laughed loudly.

"No!" The knight replied.

After finishing speaking, Wei Yan glanced at Huangshui with some worry, as if waiting for Gao Ding and others to appear.

When Wei Yan was in a trance, the Wei army's brave infantry suddenly rushed out with Han swords in their hands.

Wei Yan subconsciously drew the saber with his left hand and pierced it with the front.

The Huan Shou knife was as fast as lightning, and with a sound of "Puff", the Huan Shou knife pierced through the large blood vessels in his neck and cut his throat.Blood spurted out from the wound and splashed onto Wei Yan's face,
"Withdraw to the formation!" Seeing that Wei Jun's reinforcements had arrived, Wei Yan shouted for the Han cavalry to enter the formation.

Seeing this, the Han cavalry who were fighting followed Wei Yan and entered the battle under the cover of the army formation.

With the help of reinforcements, the Wei army, which had been shaken, quickly stabilized its morale and continued to fight with the right-wing Han army.

As time went by, the right-wing Han army of the Han army was a bit out of support, and the Wei army was gaining momentum.

Seeing this, Guo Huai showed joy and secretly clenched his fists; Wei Yan stared at the upper reaches of Huangshui, expecting the appearance of Gao Gang's subordinates.

At this time, under Wei Yan's expectation, platoons suddenly appeared in the upper reaches of the Huangshui River, and the Han flag was fluttering in the wind.

Gao Gang held a spear and was dressed in armor, standing on the row, and shouted majestically: "Brother Wen, don't worry, Gao Gang is here!"

"Don't worry, general, I'll wait!" The Han soldiers on the row shouted in unison.

The Han and Wei armies on both sides of the Huangshui River heard the prestige, and the Han army, who had been tired from fighting for a long time, cheered up; the Wei army looked earthy, and their morale declined.

Seeing this, Wei Yan laughed loudly, raised his horse, got on his horse, and shouted: "Reinforcements have arrived, brothers fight the enemy bravely, and the time to defeat the enemy is now!"

In an instant, there was an uproar of people on both sides of the strait, the colorful flags of the Han army were waving, and the Han army, which was as motionless as a mountain, moved like thunder.

All the Han troops were full of enthusiasm, shouted "Wan Sheng", and followed the coach Yaqi to dispatch.

While Guo Huai was watching the battle, his bodyguard pointed to Gao Gang and the others who were galloping across the Huangshui River, his face was pale, and he said in panic, "General, the reinforcements from the Han army have arrived!"

Guo Huai heard the prestige and looked away, his eyes were about to burst.

Guo Huai did not expect that Wei Yan had an ambush at the top of the river, marched eastward in a platoon, and appeared at the time of the battle.

Guo Huai had cold hands and feet, no wonder he sent a large number of scouts to find no ambushes within thirty miles, but this Han army was lying in ambush in the upper reaches of the Huangshui River.

This is Wei Yan's plan. Although Wei Yan from Jingzhou is not proficient in naval forces, he can also be said to have a little knowledge, and has the habit of combining waterways to march.

However, Guo Huai from Bingzhou has been located in the northwest for a long time, and he has never seen even a large ship.

However, thanks to the spring floods in Huangshui, the water level of Huangshui rose, which gave Wei Yan a basis for the implementation of the strategy of using thousands of miles of water to support.

Unwilling to give up the good situation, Guo Huai raised his knife angrily, and calling [-] Chinese soldiers, went to the river bank, trying to attack halfway across the river.

Paizi rushed towards the river bank at a faster speed under the torrent of Leqie water flowing into Huangshui.

"Pfft!"

The Han soldiers jumped off the row and galloped to the shore on the waves.

Holding a Han crossbow in his right hand and a Han crossbow in his left hand, Ji Xi stepped on the knee-high Huangshui and galloped in line.

Ji Xi and the other Han soldiers looked at the oncoming Wei army, raised the Han crossbow in their hands, and pulled the crossbow trigger. There was a sound of breaking through the air, and the crossbow shot directly at the Wei army.

"General, be careful!" Guo Huai's guards raised their shields and shouted.

Wei Jun, who had just completed the formation, became sparsely formed in an instant.

Gao Gang held up his spear and rushed straight up, taking two steps at a time.

Gao Gang shook the spear in his hand, the tip of the spear trembled accordingly, the cold light lightly pierced through the chest of the Wei soldier.Dozens of soldiers of the Han army followed closely behind, poured into the Wei army's formation, and chopped down several more.Seeing this, the nearby Wei army fled in panic.

Seeing this, Guo Huai raised his head to the sky and screamed, with an angry expression on his face, he said with difficulty, "The whole army retreats."

Hearing this, Guo Huai's personal guards held shields and hurriedly protected Guo Huai to evacuate eastward.The warriors guarding the flag held up the dental flag and followed closely behind.

Wei Jun looked back, his face full of horror, his remaining fighting spirit dissipated immediately, and he scrambled and scrambled back to evacuate.

The soldiers of the Han army raised their swords and cheered. Under the command of the general, they chased and overthrew the Wei army.

Guo Huai's army fled, and the generals of the Wei army on the battlefield either fought and retreated, or fled without helmets and armor.The Qiang soldiers fled in all directions, disregarding any military orders.

Dai Ling on the north bank of Huangshui closed his eyes and sighed, and ordered: "Retreat."

Wu Yi's troops on the north bank of Huangshui also began to enter the pursuit mode, and fought back the Wei army who had been suppressing him.

The soldiers of the Wei army who were in the rear line fled sooner, and the soldiers who were in the front line kneeled and surrendered sooner.Hundreds of Wei Jun knelt on both sides of the road and were captured by the Han Jun.

229 A.D., the third year of Wei Emperor Cao Rui Taihe, the seventh year of Han Emperor Liu Chan Jianxing, the first year of Wu Wangsun Emperor Huanglong, at the end of April.

The left general Wei Yanyu Leqieshui smashed Guo Huai, beheaded 400 people, and captured 61 people; the former general Wu Yi broke Dailing, beheaded [-] people, and captured [-] people.

A total of 61 people were beheaded, and [-] people were captured.

Guo Huai and Dai Ling gathered 6000 defeated troops and retreated to Jincheng County.

The left general Wei Yan took advantage of the victory to pursue and captured Xiping County in the Huangshui River Basin.
