Due to Sun Quan's many failures, Cao Wei originally did not deploy many troops in Huainan.
Before the Battle of Xiangfan, Cao Wei dominated the world and had about 20,000 standing troops in Huainan.
After the Battle of Xicheng and the Battle of Xiangfan, Cao Wei's Jingzhou Field Army suffered heavy losses.
Under this situation, in order to worry about Sun Quan taking advantage of the situation, Cao Pi continued to send more troops to Huainan in recent years.
After many increases, as of last year Huainan's standing army was about 30,000.
In recent months, these 30,000 Huainan standing troops have been gradually transferred to Luoyang by Cao Xiu, who was worried about Guanzhong.
After experiencing the lessons of the Battle of Xiangfan, both Cao Pi and Cao Rui had the idea in their hearts that they would not use the Chinese army if they could.
After all, local field troops can be recruited again after a few years if they die in battle.
But if all the Luoyang army is dead, then Cao Wei will basically have no chance to compete for the world.
But even though there were 30,000 Huainan standing troops inside and outside Luoyang, Cao Rui did not hand over all 30,000 Huainan troops to Zhang He.
Zhang He brought only his own 10,000 cavalry troops and 20,000 Huainan infantry troops from Luoyang to Jieting.
The battlefield where the Han and Wei armies fought was surrounded by horses and antlers.
This would not have a great impact on the infantry forming a formation for confrontation, but it would greatly affect the mobility of the cavalry. Therefore, Zhang Heping did not plan to mobilize 10,000 cavalry out of the camp.
Zhang He sent people back to the camp to mobilize the remaining 10,000 Huainan troops.
Zhang He's move of sending people back to the camp happened to be noticed by Ding Feng.
After Ding Feng killed several Wei troops in succession, he came to Liu Feng and said to him: "General, let's also send reinforcements!"
After listening to Ding Feng's suggestion, Liu Feng was thinking quickly in his mind while killing the surrounding Wei troops.
If he also summoned the remaining Han troops in the camp and went out to fight in the field, it would mean that today's battle was no longer a simple battle to defend the city.
In fact, it is a complete wild battle!
No one expected this before today.
Even Zhang He is probably the same.
Everyone thought that when the Han and Wei armies met at the street pavilion, there would be a tug-of-war siege. However, they did not expect that the first battle between the Han and Wei armies would be the most intense hand-to-hand combat in the field.
Events on the battlefield are indeed ever-changing and unpredictable.
But considering the current situation, does Liu Feng have any other choice?
So Liu Feng made a decision quickly.
Liu Feng ordered the guards around him to place the flag on their spears and wave it high.
As the five-color flags continued to dance, Deng Ai and Jiang Wei, who had been watching the battle below on the camp wall, immediately received the signal.
The signal sent by Liu Feng was for Deng Ai and Jiang Wei to lead the Han army out of camp to support them.
After receiving this signal, Deng Ai and Jiang Wei quickly looked at each other, and then decisively went to the camp to order troops.
Both of them could clearly see the situation on the battlefield.
To be honest, at the beginning, the Han army did not expect that 3,000 Han troops could gain an advantage in a battle with tens of thousands of Wei troops.
The combat effectiveness displayed by the Wei army now is far inferior to that in the past.
It seems that except for Cao Wei's central army, Cao Wei's local elites were indeed wiped out by the general.
This is also the greatest significance of Liangzhou's victory in the first battle.
With a large number of elites missing, no matter how many soldiers and horses the enemy gathers, the Han army can rely on its own elite level to win every field battle even if its troops are inferior to the enemy's.
After realizing this, even Deng Ai, who had not supported rashly leaving the camp just now, decisively went below to gather troops.
After Liu Feng led 3,000 Han troops out of the camp, there were still more than 8,000 Han troops in the Han camp.
However, as the defensive side, it is impossible for all the more than 7,000 Han troops to leave the camp without a clear grasp of the number of Wei troops.
Finally, after careful consideration, Deng Ai decided to leave 3,000 Han troops in the camp to guard the camp, and he would lead the remaining 5,000 Han troops out of the camp to support Liu Feng.
When Liu Feng, Ding Feng, and Zhang Yi were not in the camp, Deng Ai was the actual commander of the Han army camp in terms of seniority.
Deng Ai gathered the Han army very quickly.
It didn't take long for the five thousand Han troops to gather under Deng Ai's order, then formed up from the opened camp gate and walked towards the battlefield outside the camp.
Because the battlefield where the two armies fought was not far from the Han army's camp, it was some distance away from the Wei army's camp.
Therefore, the five thousand Han troops arrived on the battlefield before the Wei army's reinforcements.
The addition of five thousand Han troops greatly relieved the pressure on Liu Feng and Ding Feng's Han troops.
It is true that the Han army is elite, but it is also true that the Han army is at a numerical disadvantage.
This fact caused the Han army's physical strength to be rapidly consumed.
After all, a Han army may have to face two, or even three or more enemies.
But when five thousand fresh troops joined in, the difference in numbers between the two armies on the battlefield was not that big.
With eight thousand against ten thousand, the Han army's elite advantage was fully utilized.
Five thousand Han troops, under the command of Deng Ai, rushed towards the back of the Wei army that was encircling Liu Feng's Han army.
Zhang He, who was sitting on his horse, had already noticed signs of Han reinforcements leaving the camp.
Therefore, before that, Zhang He changed his order and asked the Wei army, which was originally going to outflank the Han army from the rear, to form a formation on the spot to resist the impact of Deng Ai's reinforcements.
Zhang He's idea was very simple, that is, to prevent the two Han armies of Liu Feng and Deng Ai from joining together.
As long as the two Han armies can be separated, when more than ten thousand Wei troops arrive on the battlefield, the advantage on the battlefield will still be on the side of the Wei army.
It's just that Zhang He subconsciously overestimated the combat power of the Huainan soldiers.
The number of Wei troops who were previously separated by Zhang He to surround Liu Feng's rear was about three thousand.
Three thousand Huainan troops who are not good at field combat face five thousand elite Liangzhou troops. How can they be stopped?
Especially in Deng Ai's army, there are fierce generals like Jiang Wei.
Don't look at the fact that when Jiang Wei faced off against Ma Chao, he was almost beaten by Ma Chao and was unable to fight back, but that was Ma Chao.
No one in the world dares to say that he can defeat Ma Chao in terms of force.
Escape from Ma Chao's hands is not a failure, but an honor.
After all, Jiang Wei was still under Ma Chao and supported him for many rounds. Although there were reasons why Ma Chao did not make a fatal move, this also indirectly proved that Jiang Wei's force was not weak in this world.
Jiang Wei and Deng Ai are both good at strategy. Zhang He's intention may be able to deceive Liu Feng, but he cannot hide it from Jiang Wei and Deng Ai.
Since he knew Zhang He's intention, Jiang Wei would naturally not let Zhang He succeed.
Without waiting for Deng Ai's order, Jiang Wei drove his horses and charged towards the Wei army's formation that was not yet stable with a spear in hand.
Traveling with Jiang Wei were the more than a hundred soldiers who had been with him life and death.
Jiang Wei and the hundreds of dead soldiers turned into a sharp arrow with cold light, piercing hard towards the Wei army's formation.
After seeing this scene, Deng Ai was stunned.
Is Jiang Wei so tough?
But what happened next made Deng Ai's sluggishness even worse.
Jiang Wei and hundreds of dead men were not just brave.
After approaching the Wei army's formation, Jiang Wei relied on his superb riding skills to move left and right, making it impossible for the spears thrust by the Wei army to stop his progress.
As soon as the Wei army in front of him entered the attack range of the spear in his hand, Jiang Wei immediately drove the war horse under his crotch to leap high, and that leap directly jumped into the Wei army's loose formation.
When the horse's hoof fell to the ground and caused a cloud of dust, a few cold lights appeared in the thick dust, and several screams were heard one after another.
When the dust gradually cleared, both armies saw several sturdy Wei soldiers falling heavily into the air towards the rear under the sweep of a long spear.
The corpses of several Wei soldiers fell heavily to the ground, knocking down a group of Wei soldiers who had not yet reacted.
But Wei Jun didn't react, which doesn't mean Jiang Wei did the same.
After Jiang Wei swept and killed several Wei soldiers, he seemed to have unlocked his body. He drove his war horse to dash left and right in the Wei army's formation. Every time he charged, several Wei soldiers would fly out, as if they were entering.
A deserted place.
This scene made Deng Ai rub his eyes with his hands, and made thousands of Wei soldiers swallow their saliva secretly uncontrollably.
What is a strong general?
Those who can step on the enemy's formation and disrupt the entire army are like this.
And isn’t that what Jiang Wei is doing now?
After carefully rubbing his eyes several times to confirm that he had seen correctly, Deng Ai had a new understanding of Jiang Wei.
But before this new understanding could be realized, Deng Ai, who had more time to develop in his mind, knew that the opportunity could not be missed, so he quickly commanded the Han army to form a formation and continuously attack the Wei army's formation.
The soldiers were incompetent and the generals were incompetent. The Wei army's formation became increasingly precarious under the impact of the Han army.
However, just when the Han army led by Deng Ai was about to break through the blockade of the Wei army in front of them, tens of thousands of Wei troops led by Man Chong finally arrived on the battlefield.
Zhang He secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the reinforcements arriving.
If the Han army's bravery and his own side's prowess were the first things he didn't expect, then Jiang Wei's bravery was the second thing he didn't expect.
Zhang He had heard of the reputations of Liu Feng and Ding Feng.
Liu Feng was able to kill several Wei generals before he was imprisoned. Cao Cao was so angry that he asked Cao Zhang to challenge him in a duel.
As for Ding Feng, Ding Feng's bravery is not top-notch, but his desperate beating to death will scare anyone who sees him.
Because he knew the abilities of Liu Feng and Ding Feng, Zhang He personally led his troops to besiege these two men.
Zhang He asked himself whether there was any problem with his command.
But what happened to this young player who suddenly appeared?
Zhang He didn't even know the name of this young player.
Being able to easily break into an infantry formation with a horse can only be accomplished by a top-notch general in the world.
Otherwise, if the infantry formation was so easy to break through, this unit would have long since disappeared in the long river of history.
Nowadays, you can count all the powerful generals in the world on your fingers, and Zhang He basically knows them all.
It was obvious that among those powerful generals who had been famous for a long time, the young general who suddenly appeared in front of him was not included.
So where did he come from?
Judging from his military uniform and banner, his military rank is no more than a small Sima.
Is the Han army so powerful now?
Treat such a fierce general as a commander.
An unspeakable emotion stirred in Zhang He's heart, and this emotion caused Zhang He's anger.
Before today's battle, the information Zhang He received was that among the Han generals guarding the street pavilion, only Liu Feng and Ding Feng were somewhat famous.
Most of the other Han generals are mediocre and don't require much attention.
Even Jiang Wei's name never appeared in the intelligence.
Therefore, Zhang He was thinking about whether he could plan a plan to lure the enemy with the help of a catapult today.
But what’s the result?
Is this unremarkable?
The strategy of luring the enemy was as successful as expected.
However, the Huainan Army's reduced combat power had already made Zhang He feel deeply resentful.
Now an unknown fierce general suddenly appeared in the Han army, which made Zhang He feel like he was beating his chest and feet.
It seems that many things have developed in unpredictable directions.
Had it not been for the confirmation that Mi Yang was near Chang'an, Zhang He would have felt that today's battle was not a trick set by him to lure the enemy, but a trick set by Mi Yang.
However, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to complain and lament. The next step is to fight vigorously.
Zhang He immediately asked Man Chong to lead 7,000 Wei troops to support the Wei army that was almost overwhelmed by Jiang Wei.
The remaining 3,000 Wei troops were put under Zhang He's personal command, hoping to use their superior strength to surround Liu Feng and Ding Feng's Han army first.
After receiving Zhang He's military orders, Man Chong led 7,000 Wei troops to join another battlefield without hesitation.
But as soon as he arrived at the battlefield, Man Chong took a few steps back on his horse without hesitation.
Man Chong didn't hesitate for the first time because he hadn't seen Jiang Wei's bravery yet.
Man Chong did not hesitate the second time because he was frightened by Jiang Wei's bravery.
Man Chong felt that it was better for him to take command from behind.
Under the command of Man Chong, 7,000 Wei troops transformed into military formations and joined the battlefield against 5,000 Han troops.
With the addition of 7,000 Wei troops, the precarious formation of the Wei troops on this battlefield was finally stabilized.
Man Chong also knew that Zhang He asked him to lead his army to hold back the Han army in front of him, so that he could lead his army to capture the Han army of Liu Feng and Ding Feng.
Once Liu Feng and Ding Feng's Han troops were successfully defeated by Zhang He's army, the remaining Han troops would not be a threat.
After all, Liu Feng was the commander-in-chief of the Han army in Jieting.
It's just that he wanted to avoid it, but Jiang Wei didn't allow it.
Before the seven thousand Wei troops joined the battlefield, Jiang Wei had already jumped out of the Wei army's formation on horseback.
However, Jiang Wei did not want to be like a man of favor and think about avoiding the enemy's edge.
Jiang Wei changed his target of attack.
The new target in Jiang Wei's mind is Man Chong.
Looking at Man Chong's head full of white hair and Man Chong's hands constantly waving command flags, Jiang Wei's eyes lit up when his body was covered in blood.
There is a saying that to capture the thief, capture the king first!
Jiang Wei is a very courageous and daring person.
When the idea of capturing the thief first emerged in his mind, Jiang Wei immediately drove his horse and led the nearly a hundred dead men around him to charge directly towards Man Chong's location.
Jiang Wei's actions were immediately noticed by Man Chong.
Seeing the young warrior covered in blood charging towards him regardless, Man Chong's eyes were a little dazed.
This guy looks just like that Mi Yang!
