Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 293 The Battle of Gaoping City ([-])
At four quarters of the hour (9:00), Han and Wei fought fiercely for an hour (2 hours). The former armies of the two sides have been completely entangled together. Negative to.

Zhuge Liang pressed the handrail on the nest cart with one hand, and focused his attention on the battle between the left and right wings.

As far as the current big man is concerned, the former army is not the one who decides the outcome of this battle, but only holds back Cao Wei's elite Chinese army.

Pan Jun, who was staring at the battle situation of the rear army, tugged at the corner of Zhuge Liang's clothes happily, and said: "Prime Minister, Deng Sima waved the flag to signal."

Zhuge Liang looked back and saw countless fiery red flags waving continuously in the distance, accompanied by a little bit of wolf smoke.

Zhuge Liang clenched the handle of his fan tightly, his brows were beaming with joy, but his expression was still indifferent, and he said slowly: "Shizai defeated the reinforcements in the first city of Gaoping, and our army will have no worries. Now the victory or defeat of the army is determined by the left and right armies, and it cannot be done." Judgment will be affected for a few victories."

"promise!"

Having said that, Zhuge Liang still glanced a few more times in the direction of the rear army Deng Ai, and then turned his gaze to the right wing Chen Shibu.

The enemies Chen Shi fought on the right were Guo Huai, the left army of the Wei army, and Hu Zun, the left striker. Although the Han and Wei fought for a long time, the left and right sides were still fighting with infantry.

Guo Huai, the Wei army's left formation, stared at the battle line ahead, and asked calmly, "Have all the antlers been removed?"

Hu Zun, the left forward who had just retreated to rest, panted slightly, and clasped his hands and replied, "General Qi, the antlers and fences at the front of the Shu Army's formation have all been removed by our army, especially the corners."

After a pause, Hu Zun continued to reply: "Because of the stubbornness of the Shu army, our army has not captured the chariot formation yet."

Guo Huai nodded. He rode on his horse and looked into the distance. When he saw a familiar flag, he said, "The Shu army has rested twice, and their morale is a little low."

"General, can you tell Da Sima to send cavalry into the battle?" Hu Zun asked curiously.

Guo Huai pursed his lips and did not answer directly, but ordered: "Order the soldiers to press up and see how the Shu army reacts?"

"promise!"

After fighting fiercely for a long time, the characteristics of Wei's military dominance finally emerged.After a rest, a Wei army got up and rushed to the front line of the battlefield immediately after receiving the military order.

After a while, the pressure on the right wing of the Han army increased greatly, and a group of soldiers who had not had a short rest were redispatched to fight in front of the formation, and it was only then that they withstood the attack of Guo Huai's troops.

Zhuge Liang had a panoramic view of the situation on the battlefield, and he couldn't help sighing slightly. After all, the Han army was smaller than the Wei army. Thanks to the chariot formations on the left and right flanks, it was able to withstand the Wei army's several attacks.

Zhuge Liang's palms were sweating, and he secretly wiped them on the corners of his clothes. He said, "We've been fighting for a long time now, and our army is in a state of exhaustion. I ordered the two armies on the left and right to be careful of Wei Qi's encroachment, and set up a magnet array."

"promise!"

It wasn't just Zhuge Liang who discovered the stretched strength of the right wing, Guo Huai also discovered something, and reported the battle report to Cao Zhen to make him decide.

As time went by, the scorching sun of summer became more and more dazzling.

On the nest car of the Wei army, Cao Zhen raised his palm to cover the sun, ensuring that his sight would not be affected, and looked at the battle situation of the former army.

After Zhao Yan received the report of Guo Huai's battle, he reported: "General Guo, the great Sima, said that the antlers and fences of the Shu army have all been pulled out, and the soldiers of Shu have been exhausted after fighting for a long time."

Hearing this, Cao Zhen took advantage of the situation and looked towards the right wing of the Han army. Although his vision was not as convenient as Zhuge Liang's, he could vaguely see that the Wei army was pressing down on the Han army to attack.

Cao Zhen pondered for a while, and said: "Boji said this, but he hoped that our army would send heavy cavalry to settle the situation. I don't know what you think of joining the army?"

Zhao Yan stroked his beard and thought for a while, and said: "Da Sima, the summer is hot and the sun is dazzling. Our army is facing the sun, and the Shu army is facing the sun. After a long delay, it will benefit the enemy and not benefit us. Yan does not dare to speak nonsense, but only according to the current situation. It can be said that if cavalry are sent out, the situation can be stabilized, but we must also be careful of the cavalry of the Shu army."

Cao Zhen patted the handrail, and after pondering for a long time, he ordered: "Order the cavalry to fight, but let General Xiahou be careful of the Shu cavalry."

"promise!"

The Wei Army Zhongjun waved the flag to signal Xia Houba to lead the cavalry to attack.

Suddenly, the drums of the Wei army sounded.

More than ten thousand horseshoes approached the left and right of Wei Jun at the same time, and the momentum was extremely terrifying.

This scene also shocked Zhuge Liang, Chen Shi, Liu Ba, Baijia Right Guard Marshal Li Qian and other generals of the Han army.

Li Qian and Chen Shi looked at each other, cupped their hands and said, "General Chen, Qian led the white armored guards to step forward and set down the magnet array."

Chen Shi nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Li Weishuai is careful."

Seeing this, Zhuge Liang ordered Miwei to lead more than [-] rangers out to harass the Wei army in order to buy time for Chen Shi, Liu Ba and others.At this time, the central army of the Han army only retained more than a thousand heavy cavalry from the Qingjiawei (①).

The big Han had just captured Longyou, and it took less than two years to form a large-scale formation of cavalry, and the cavalry formed after the tiger and leopard cavalry was only a thousand or so trapped cavalry from the Qingjiawei.

Therefore, it is not as good as the more than [-] heavy cavalry of Cao Zhen's personal guards and Cao Wei Zhongjun in terms of quality and quantity.

At the junction of the right formation of the Han army and the front formation, an opening was suddenly opened, and Mi Wei led a thousand Han cavalry to file out from the opening.

At this time, it could be seen from the sky that a thousand Han cavalry led by Miwei circled around an arc, preparing to harass the Wei army's infantry.After Wei Qi found out, he also sent a Wei Qi to fight.

Immediately afterwards, thousands of rangers poured out from a hole near the left formation, ready to step forward to interfere with the attack of the Wei army's trapped cavalry, but they were stopped by another Wei army's light cavalry guarding the left and right.

Xia Houba led his cavalry around the Han formation, looking for weak points, and prepared to lead his army into the formation.

Suddenly, I saw a corner of the right wing of the Shu army. Thousands of soldiers did not wear iron armor, but ordinary leather armor or bamboo armor.

It is not like the elite of the Han army at all, but like the auxiliary soldiers of the Han army. Only the chariot formation in front of the Han army will slightly affect the heavy cavalry.

Xia Houba was overjoyed, but he didn't expect the Han army to be short of troops, so he immediately ordered Wei Qi to line up.

This pawn was the red armored guard who had removed his iron armor. Li Qian glanced at the magnet array arranged according to certain rules behind the crowd, looked up at Wei Qi who was galloping back and forth in front of the array, and sneered in his heart.

A burst of horns sounded in the Wei cavalry formation, and more than a thousand heavily armed Wei cavalry forming a cone formation approached forward, and hundreds of Wei cavalry nearby pressed the formation.

Riding on the horse, Xia Houba looked at the relatively well-organized Han army formation in front of him, and at the towering nest chariot of the Chinese army in the distance. There was a big fiery red flag standing there, which was the flag of Zhuge Liang, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty. Big flag.

A trace of coldness flashed across Xiahouba's eyes, he wanted to avenge his father today, and to avenge the shame of his father Dingjunshan.

Facing the heavy cavalry of the Wei army constantly pressing forward, Li Qian, who had always been fearless, couldn't help but recall the hundreds of tiger and leopard cavalry in the Guanchuan River Valley, and couldn't help feeling a palpitation.

Under the shining of the sun, the heavy cavalry of the Wei army, shining brightly, looked particularly ferocious and terrifying.

For a moment, all the attention of the battlefield was concentrated here!
-
①: Cavalry can be simply divided into trapped cavalry and light cavalry according to whether they charge into the formation.

Trapped cavalry is not necessarily heavy cavalry, and light cavalry undertaking the task of trapping can also be called trapped cavalry.But heavy cavalry is almost certainly trapped cavalry.

The emergence of heavy cavalry in the Eastern Han Dynasty represented Youzhou Tuqi and Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.With the appearance of bilateral stirrups, and during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, almost all countries played heavy cavalry, that is, equipped cavalry.
