Follow General Cao to mix the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 862
The old thief Sima had served in Qingzhou and Chang'an for a long time. Logically speaking, he should have a good understanding of the fighting style of the troops under Wang Hou's command. There are really not many under Wang Hou's command.

Including tactical thinking, command system, communication connection, even he couldn't get the secrets of the Western Wei Army from the battle report uploaded by Wang Hou.

Just because the moment we met, Wang Hou already had the foresight to regard him as a lifelong enemy. When he was in Qingzhou, he was excluded from the military and political system. In the future, Sima Yi still abandoned Wang Hou and chose to call back to Xudu, looking for a starting point for his official career there.

When Sima Yi is driven into Chang'an as a nail, it will be even more impossible to get in touch with Wang Houjun's core secrets.

As for the battle report, the report format of this era is generally that a certain general sends troops for something, breaks the formation with others, defeats the enemy with others, and beheads many times. As for the specific content of the war, it is rarely completely recorded. There are so many war record documentaries to describe in detail every battle that determines history, but there are very few in China.

Therefore, unknown enemies are the most terrifying!

And even if Sima Yi leads an army of 40 to attack Wang Hou on his own initiative this time, he is self-aware and will never be willing to use his infantry-based regiment to resist the Kansai iron cavalry on the plain, but the last time he decided to abandon Luoyang, The political forces formed by the Kwantung gentry were particularly dissatisfied with him. This time, he only sat in Jinyang and gave up the huge Bingzhou Valley to Wang Hou.

Just like the situation during the fourth Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, Sima Yi insisted on sticking to the strategy, Zhang He was dissatisfied, and wrote a letter to impeach Sima Yi. The old thief took Zhang He as the vanguard and attacked Zhuge Liang. In order to return, several armies attacked him and died in battle.

This time it was also a routine. He dispatched all the dissidents and thorns in the main battle to Quwo to fight the pre-war. He led the main force of the Kanto and followed him not far away. But he was defeated by himself, and Ci'er's head was chopped off. He also just retreated to Jinyang, and fought to the death with the main force of Wang Houguan in the narrow mountain road from Jinyang to Hebei.

It's true that Wang Houdun is not as fast as Sima Yi, but I can see the screen and fight!Watching a group of Guandong children arrogantly cut off the head of the vanguard soldier who died in the ambush, he returned to Quwo City full of provocation, pinched the chin of the mustache, thought for a few minutes, and probably figured it out based on the information. Wang Hou, who knew the cause and effect, unexpectedly had a weird smile like a big villain on his face.

Good guy, I want to use Lao Tzu's hand to eradicate dissidents!
Then you old thief shouldn't pay me more hard work?

"Look clearly, this is the fate of you who underestimate the enemy and rush forward. It is your eternal shame to lose the head of your comrade-in-arms!"

Under the flaming eyes of a group of vanguard soldiers from the Storm Corps, Wang Hou added fuel to the fire again. After finishing speaking lightly, he turned his head and strode towards the rear army, leaving behind only his subordinates to watch With their backs turned away from those arrogant enemies, they roared angrily like beasts.

In the next few days, the 20 vanguard troops from Guanzhong, the main force, arrived at the outskirts of Quwo one after another. Like a black cloud pressing down on the city, they took the lead in confronting the Eastern Wei army, which was a sudden confrontation.

It's just that in the battle of Quwo, Wang Hou didn't fight well.

Amidst the sound of heavy iron boots clanging, the Liaodong heavy infantry of the brigade marched in a neat line, holding heavy shields, and their photos were one size smaller than their colleagues, only about 1.8 meters long, just like iron squares. came out.

Over the years, the Liaodong Eastern Front has reached peace not because Wang Hou himself went to the western front, but because, like the Roman Empire, they often faced the barbarians of various tribes in Liaodong in the big forest, and the expanded First Corps and Second Corps A series of localizations were also carried out.

The Liaodong Corps, which often fights in small groups, places special emphasis on arrays. Originally, the halberds and hooks used in the bloody battles on the Great Plains were not practical in the overgrown virgin forests, so they were replaced with short axes and halberds that were shorter and more suitable for close combat. The round shield was a little bigger and could be stuck together to form a shield formation to defend against sudden barbarian raids emerging from the woodland.

The main means of killing are the increasingly common tiger squat gun and the double-bow steel crossbow, which is one size smaller but easier to carry and launch in a small space.

Amidst the sound of clattering metal, such a [-]-man brigade of original proportions marched towards the city of Quwo, which was almost pleasing to the eye. However, the infantry in the front row wearing heavy plate armor formed a shield formation with exceptional briskness, and even tilted upward to aim at it. city ​​walls.

Compared with the localization, fighting against barbarians all the year round, eliminating the threats to the agricultural areas of Montenegro in the mountains and forests, and searching for mines and treasures in the Liaodong counterparts, the Central Plains infantry has not changed over the years. There was a dense sound, and the archers of the brigade, Huang Sensen, were arranged at the top of the city, facing the Liaodong formation that was advancing towards his feet like iron fish scales. In the next second, the sky was full of arrows. Come down, and hit the iron shield like hail that hits the lotus leaf in a rainstorm.

However, with the sound of ping-pong, layers of arrows fell under the feet, and the undulating shield array like a lotus leaf continued to drag towards Quwo City, until it reached 60 meters, and there were some heavier ping-pong sounds. While on the shield formation, the sergeants of the Liaodong Second Corps stopped, and both sides entered the precision strike range of the double bow and crossbow.

On the top of the city, aiming at the gaps in the shields, there are also double-bow crossbowmen who are extraordinarily ample, trying their best to aim at the gaps between the round shields. A few holes were broken in the shield array, and the heavy infantry behind them fell down with trembling crossbow arrows stuck in their chests.

However, someone added it right away, and amidst the sound of hula, holes were suddenly exposed in the middle of the hexagonal round shield like a mosaic, behind which were gleaming crossbow arrows and the sharp eyes of colleagues from Liaodong.

puff~

A Kwantung crossbowman had just poked his head out of the crenel. With the eyesight he had trained with the barbarians in the mountains and forests all year round, a crossbow just popped his head, and the wide and heavy crossbow bolt went straight into the center of his forehead. Just fell backwards.

Quwo City has become a sword-testing stone and cannon fodder, but it has also become an invisible rope, holding Sima Yi's army around the neck and sending the opposition to death, but Sima Yi dare not leave them behind until they are dead. They withdrew to Jinyang, which hurt morale and popularity.

When the king of Quwo was soaking mushrooms, the cavalry of the Western Wei Dynasty were restless. After all, Quwo couldn't intercept the entire Jinzhong Basin!
Upstream of the Fen River, near Taigu County!

Under the banner of Chen Zi, a group of infantry from the Central Plains of the Eastern Wei Dynasty was carrying supplies into the city wall, but unexpectedly, the ground trembled violently. Looking south, a black line was in sight, and it was rapidly becoming thicker. Suddenly, the gongs started beating chaotically. Amidst the panic and cursing, the gate of Taigu County was closed, and the infantry who were still locked outside the city were frightened and crazy. He knocked on the door, and then looked desperately at the Kansai cavalry who were getting closer and closer.

After a fierce fight, hundreds of Central Plains infantry were bloody on the battlefield. The food and feather arrows scattered on the ground were taken away, and those who could not be taken away were gathered on the spot, and the rapeseed oil they carried was sprinkled on it. Throwing the fire forward, the large group of people retreated immediately, without any intention of attacking the city.

Facing the horrified eyes of the defenders at the top of the city, they left a puff of burnt black smoke straight into the sky.
