Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 482 Fighter
As the sun set, the thick clouds in the west revealed a faint light, and then fell into the dark sky.But in the foothills of the Qinling Mountains, a piece of fire appeared in the valleys, with a huge momentum and overwhelming power.

Huo Yi pulled the reins, rode on the horse, and shouted to Li Fei: "Don't put out the torch, people hold two fires, rein in the horse and gallop."

Li Fei, courtesy name Mingze, was the commander-in-chief of the Sinicized Qiang in Liangzhou.After the Great Han pacified Liangzhou, they recruited the people of Qiang and Di to join the army as cavalry, and appointed the tribal leaders as officials to join the army to fight.

"promise!"

Li Fei whistled and yelled at his Qiang cavalry to move.Qiang cavalry skillfully let go of the reins, held torches in his left and right hands, galloped his horse through the forest, and headed towards the Wei army formation under the leadership of Li Fei.

Taking advantage of the dim light, Huo Yi saw the soldiers of the Wei army in the distance, and shouted loudly, "Where is Li Zhechong?"

"The end is here!" Li Gui came out holding a torch.

After Li Gui was transferred from Yulinwei, he was appointed as the captain of Zhechong and belonged to Huo Yi.

"Someone led hundreds of cavalry into the formation, and you led the infantry to beat the drums and shout this time. Set up the formation and wait for our cavalry to cover. If the enemy cavalry charges into the formation, shoot them with bows and arrows. Do you understand?" Huo Yi asked .

"I will understand at the end!"

Holding a lance in hand, Huo Yi rode out, followed by three hundred cavalrymen.

Before the battle, Huang Quan, in order to prevent himself from being defeated, Cao Rui took advantage of the situation and chased him, so he asked Huo Yi to lead two thousand cavalry and lie down on the mountain road as a countermeasure.

Although the soldiers of the Wei army were pursuing, the basic formation still existed.Huo Yi didn't dare to attack, and hid in the foothills, waiting for a good opportunity.When it was getting dark, Huo Yi repeated his old tricks, setting up more torches and beating golden drums to threaten him.

But this is not enough, there is still one step away, and that is to lead the cavalry to charge the battle, and confuse the real with the fake.

Huo Yi and the three hundred cavalry pawns, after Li Feiqiang's cavalry dispatched, drew an arc to the right from the forest, bypassed the front of the Wei army, and went straight to the rear of the Wei army, looking for the gap between the Wei army.

The soldiers of the Wei army who had been fighting for a day were really tired, and they didn't pay much attention to the chaos in the front of the army.The army formation was still sparse, until Huo Yi's troops came to the front like sharp arrows, and the sergeants near the northern foot realized it, shouted in panic, and shot arrows to stop them.

But alas, it was too late.In the next moment, the horses rushed forward in an instant, cutting in through the gaps in the crowd.

Facing the sudden attack of the Han cavalry, the soldiers of the Wei army were caught off guard.Huo Yi's troops waited for work with ease, although they only had [-] riders, they were as overwhelming as a mountain torrent, smashing the Wei army's defense line in an instant.

Huo Yi's bravery is not his strong point, but the elite cavalrymen of this unit are because the cavalrymen are Xianbei people and Liangzhou Han people. Huo Yi lived in Gaoping for several years and dealt with Hu people all the year round. Most of them recruited strong Xianbei tribesmen to join the army.

The Xianbei cavalry with braided hair acted as the forward and cut into the formation in a cone shape. Before the cavalry behind had time to fight, the front rushed out of the enemy's formation, leaving only a dozen corpses behind, and they were extremely brave.The soldiers of the Wei army on both sides were all panicked and gave way one after another, not daring to resist the charge of the Han cavalry with their flesh and blood.

Huo Yi stabbed a Wei soldier to death with his cavalry spear. Looking at the crowds of Wei soldiers around him, the endless crowd, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive.For the tens of thousands of Wei Jun, three hundred cavalry is too little.If the Wei army soldiers reacted and squeezed here, it would be as easy to crush Huo Yi's troops as to crush an ant.

"Wow!"

Huo Yi took out the short horns from his bosom, blew lightly, and the hooves of the three hundred cavalrymen flew and scattered along the passage to the outside.

Huo Yi rode a war horse and circled around the periphery of the army formation. Wherever he went, the soldiers of the Wei army retreated one after another, not daring to fight, and there was another chaos.However, taking advantage of the height of the horses, we could vaguely see the flags of the Wei army waving in the distance, and the formation of the Wei army was getting tighter.

Huo Yi looked at the chaotic soldiers of the Wei army in front of him, and at the soldiers of the Wei army coming from a distance, and regretted that his soldiers were few. If he had [-] elite soldiers in his hands, he dare not say that he could defeat the Wei army. Knockback is also no problem.

At this moment, Li Fei's troops in the distance blew a unique sound of horns, indicating that a large number of cavalry soldiers of the Wei army had withdrawn from the front.

Huo Yi glanced at the scattered soldiers of the Wei army, gave up the idea of ​​continuing to attack the army formation, and led the cavalry to turn around and head towards the foot of the mountain.

When the cavalry of the Wei army arrived here, Huo Yi and the others had already disappeared. Looking at the dark northern foot of the Qinling Mountains and the dense group of torches that were constantly advancing, they turned back and sprinted here. The exhausted Wei cavalry did not dare to pursue them.

Cao Rui, who was in the middle army, saw the cavalry returning to help, and the harassing Han cavalry retreated, but there were still dense torches moving forward between the woods and the mountain depression, as well as the sound of golden drums resounding through the mountain depression. Huang Quan's army, who would come back, was still afraid in his heart, and looked at Jiang Ji, who was commanding the army.

Seeing that his own cavalry returned to aid one after another, Jiang Ji was also very decisive, and ordered: "The front army will be changed to the rear army, and the rear army will be changed to the front army. Light the torches and withdraw the army, and the cavalry will come to the rear."

"promise!"

"Bring me the map!"

With the help of the faint light of the torch, Jiang Ji looked at the terrain near Wuzhangyuan, pointed to Xinling, which was seven or eight miles away from Wuzhangyuan, and said, "Let the army retreat to Xinling, and our army will set up camp here."

As he said that, Jiang Ji looked at Cao Rui, clasped his hands and asked, "Your Majesty, the bandits are in an ambush today, so I don't know how deep it is. However, looking at the enemy's situation, I think the enemy's number should be small. In order to prevent Huang Quan from attacking, it is better to withdraw the army. Xinling. Although it was a hard journey, the soldiers rested. I wonder what your Majesty thinks?"

Cao Rui looked at Xinling Mountain on the map, with the Qinling Mountains in the south, and the surrounding terrain was uneven, and said, "It's possible!"

Military orders were issued one after another, and the army of Wei Jun lit torches one after another, and under the sound of golden drums and the light of torches, they slowly returned to the east.The weary soldiers of the Wei army can be seen all over the road, walking on the road listlessly.

Huo Yi at the foot of the mountain saw the Wei army retreating, in order not to reveal his secrets, he chased for a while symbolically, and then chased in the direction of Huang Quan's army.

When Huo Yi caught up with Huang Quan's army, he saw that the army stopped and rested in place to accommodate the retreating and lost Han army.Waiting to ride out in all directions, vigilant around, to prevent Wei Jun from returning to the carbine again.

The bonfires in the camp were lit one after another, scattered in an orderly manner.Soldiers of the Han army gathered around the bonfire to keep warm, rest and eat.

At this time, Huang Quan was discussing the situation of the army around the bonfire with the generals.

Huang Quan fiddled with the charcoal with a branch, and asked, "How is the situation of the army now?"

"General Chariot and Cavalry, the sergeants of the army are all right, and the army's luggage is not lost. Most of the soldiers have returned to the army, and the rest are still being gathered," Wu Yi reported.

Huang Quan raised his head and looked at the surrounding generals, and asked in a deep voice: "Although this is a small setback, today we can see that the army of the bandits is sharp and not an ordinary enemy. I don't know how you think our army should advance next?"

There is a clear gap in the combat effectiveness of the internal troops of Cao Wei. Cao Wei's Kansai army is stronger than the Kwantung army, the border army is stronger than the inland army, and the Chinese army is a combination of elites from all sides.Therefore, the Cao Wei Zhongjun is stronger than other domestic armies not only in terms of equipment but also in terms of personnel.

Although the Shu Han infantry is sharp, its sharpness is aimed at other troops of Cao Wei.Unless the Chinese army facing Cao Wei is close in number, it will be very difficult to attack the crowd with less.This is why Huang Quan faced the middle camp led by Xia Houru, and took tactical measures to avoid its edge and lure the enemy deep.

Wu Yi pondered for a while, and said: "General, the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered. Our soldiers are now defeated for the first time. The bandit army is led by the false emperor Cao Rui, and their morale is high. Our army entered the dangerous place and restrained the enemy's army, so that the Wei army could not lay siege to Wuzhangyuan with all its strength, and wait for domestic reinforcements to arrive."

Liu Yin also responded and said: "What Wu Dudu said is not bad, if calculated according to the footsteps, our army's returning sergeants and former generals should be in the starry night rushing to rescue, or they can reach Guanzhong in less than half a day."

It has to be said that the Qinling Mountains had too much influence on the march of the Han army. If it was a flat place, why would it take so long to arrive there.

Huang Quan didn't answer, but looked at Deng Ai and asked, "What does Shi Zai think?"

Deng Ai took a deep breath and said, "Ai thought the bandits hadn't gone far, and now they have to win again. Maybe they will return. It's better to let the Prime Minister secretly send elites to cross the river and hit the enemy's flanks to defeat the enemy."

Cao Rui's army and Sima Yi's army were not far from Weinan and Weibei, and Deng Ai guessed that Cao Rui might continue to attack while taking advantage of the victory, thus penetrating into Weinan.At that time, Huang Quan's army resisted head-on, and when Sima Yi's rescue was not in time, Zhuge Liang in Weibei sent elite troops to cross the river south to attack the enemy's flank.

"I think the opportunity to fight has been revealed, and the enemy may be defeated at this time!"
