Shi Bao didn't know whether the Wei army that had been hit at its weak point was papery or not.
But Wang Han and the elite soldiers he led truly amazed him, who had been paying close attention to the battle situation from high above the city.
I had long expected that the three thousand elite soldiers specially sent by the Central Protectorate to protect the engineering battalion would not be easy.
Unexpectedly, Shi Bao suddenly remembered the feeling of seeing the armored cavalry charging into the formation like waves for the first time during the Battle of Xiaoguan.
This was not the look of horror on his face when he first met the armored cavalry.
But Wang Han's breaking of the bandit formation was as smooth as a red-hot blade cutting ointment.
"I am King Ham of Brazil, where will the thief be!"
The king has two spears, one is a horse spear, and the other is a walking spear.
The long spear in his hand at this time was exactly the rifle used for foot combat.
Although it is called a horse horse, because it is specially made, it is actually not very different from an ordinary horse horse.
The head has been stained with the blood of an unknown number of people.
There was probably too much blood on it, and a line of blood flowed down the stem.
Fortunately, the rod has been specially treated and is different from ordinary rods.
The blood line didn't flow very far before disappearing.
Part of it drips to the ground, and part of it is absorbed.
It will not flow to the handshake area, so as not to contaminate the hands and cause them to become slippery.
In addition to the blood on the stem, there was also a lot of blood splattered on the face, and a few drops even accidentally flew into the eyes.
Wang Han, who had punched through countless bodies with his thorns, kept his eyes wide open, not daring to blink for fear that the thieves who were right in front of him would take the opportunity to attack.
When someone took over, he just touched it with his handnail, letting the already blood-red vision become more vivid.
What came to his ears were various death wails and the whistling of arrows piercing the sky, but Wang Han could not hear them at all.
He raised his head and looked forward.
The tall flag of the bandit army is already in sight.
His mind was immediately attracted by this big flag with Sima written on it.
"Cut the flag!"
Wang Han shouted loudly and rushed forward again.
"Cut the flag!"
Without any instructions, the elite soldiers from the long-lasting battlefield automatically gathered around the general and formed a cone-shaped arrow.
The direction of the arrow is where Sima Division's commanding flag is.
The head forged by the Pingcheng Iron and Steel Workshop is much longer than the head of a carbine, nearly half a meter long, and is extremely hard and sharp.
It’s more than enough to skewer two human skewers.
It can be stabbed, picked or cut, but if it doesn't work, it would be good to just hit it hard.
The long pole is made of carefully selected solid hardwood and then made using special craftsmanship.
If the pole is hit directly on the head, even if it is not a concussion, he will still be unconscious.
If you get a blow to the head and your head is not protected by a helmet strong enough, nine times out of ten you will be shot.
Whether you can survive or not depends on whether God wants to accept it.
Go forward, go forward, go forward again!
A pair of extremely cold, yet extremely fanatical eyes saw the banner of the rebel army.
The orderly queues advanced and retreated, layer upon layer like waves, like lightning and flint thrusts and slashes, blood flew everywhere, and the flesh and blood of the thieves covered the ground in front of them.
The Wei army has invested its main force in the north. The army of three thousand tigers and wolves has cut into the weakest point and is advancing unstoppably towards the commander's flag where Sima Division is located.
"Stop them, you must stop them!"
Master Sima was really panicked.
He had never seen such a proud and brave soldier.
A considerable number of my lord's subordinates can be considered elite soldiers of the Wei Dynasty.
But at this moment, he finally understood why his lord was known as "fearing Shu as much as a tiger".
He had a feeling that from the moment he engaged in battle, his every move was completely under the control of the opposing general.
How else to explain everything right now?
"Quick, send people to the north and ask General Niu to return to the army quickly!"
Just when Master Sima was in a panic, Wang Han was shouting loudly:
"Where is Master Sima? Do you dare to come out and fight me!"
Of course, it was impossible for his voice to reach Sima Shi's ears on the battlefield where the shouts of killing were loud.
But with the traitor's flag in sight, the morale of the Han army naturally increased.
The soldiers surrounding Wang Han shouted:
"Where is Master Sima!"
"Master Sima!"
"Kill Sima Master!"
…
The sound waves gradually gathered into one voice:
"Kill Sima Master!"
"Kill Sima Master!"
Sima Division could already clearly see the Han army trying to rush towards him.
But I saw that all of them were red.
Like a blood-eating evil ghost crawling out from under the yellow soil.
I don't know if it's the original color of their armor or the color of their blood-stained clothes.
It makes people feel extremely dazzling, but also makes people feel extremely scary.
"General, retreat quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
The personal guard guarding Sima Shi turned pale, holding on to Sima Shi and trying to persuade him anxiously.
"You guys, go quickly and stop them!"
For the first time since Sima Division led the troops, he felt the danger in front of the two armies.
He tried his best to calm himself down, but the oppressive feeling of the red tide was too strong, making him scream involuntarily.
Even at this moment, he was still very sober:
We must block it, at least until the army in front comes back for reinforcements.
Otherwise, once the commander's flag falls, the whole army may become a big rout.
"I can't stop it, General!"
At this time, there were only about a hundred personal guards guarding Sima Shi.
How can we withstand the wolf-like tiger momentum of the Han army?
Not to mention Master Sima, even the captain of the bodyguard beside him now understood that there must be something wrong with his command.
No, it should be said that the thieves were too cunning. They took advantage of most of the elite troops to the north to suddenly attack the main camp and were defeated without force!
"General, the Han army is powerful, please stay away for now!"
The captain of the personal guard pulled Sima Shi tightly and used more force, "The thief was just a fluke and took advantage of the general's carelessness."
"General, please give in temporarily and take the opportunity to regroup."
The captain of the guard winked as he spoke.
The others understood and quickly followed up to hold Sima Shi.
"General, I'm offended!"
After saying this, he couldn't wait to force the Sima division to half drag and half stand, and hurriedly got off the command platform.
"The handsome flag, the handsome flag cannot be left to the Han army!"
The moment he got off the high platform, Master Sima struggled and shouted subconsciously.
When the flag officer received the order, he felt like hearing fairy music and breathed a sigh of relief.
If the flag doesn't move, he can't move either.
If the coach runs away and ignores the coaching flag, then he will basically have to wait here to die.
If he ignored the commander's flag and followed the coach directly, then the crime of losing the flag would also make him die.
I didn't expect that the general could still remember him...
The flag officer thanked Master Sima loudly in his heart, while holding the big flag with his colleagues, they followed closely behind Master Sima and retreated.
At this time, Wang Han, with high fighting spirit, stabbed the thieves in front of him with a long spear, and stabbed the thieves in front of him to death.
Taking a step back and letting his left and right sides alternate forward, he raised his head and discovered:
The commander's flag of the thief army right in front of us is actually moving!
It's moving!
Moving backward!
He was so angry that he could no longer hold back and cursed loudly: "The thieves are really just rats, and they actually retreated without a fight!"
The shouts of killing were so loud that the surrounding soldiers could barely hear Wang Han's curses, thinking that he was attacking the thieves' hearts.
Someone looked up and saw the thief's handsome flag walking away.
At that moment, I subconsciously started shouting.
Was the leader of the bandit army forced to flee by them?
"The thief will be defeated!"
"The thief has been defeated!"
Hearing the shouts of the Han army, the Wei army who was desperately blocking them couldn't help but look back.
Sure enough, Commander Qi, who was the spiritual pillar of the entire army, was retreating as if he had a leg.
Although I can't tell what the military commander looks like now, the flag swaying left and right, like a snake, seems to be the embarrassed appearance of the commander at this time.
The coach's escape before the battle made Wei Jun, who was already a little frightened by the beating, finally unable to hold on any longer.
I don't know who was the first to turn around and flee. The morale of the Wei army suddenly dropped to freezing point and they began to flee.
"The thieves are defeated, let's chase them!"
When Wang Han and the remaining soldiers saw the Wei army acting like this, they immediately became stronger and stronger.
"good!"
Shi Bao held up a telescope with one hand and slammed it on the city wall with the other, applauding Wang Han loudly.
He was so excited that he almost couldn't hold the telescope steady, and his heart nearly jumped out of his chest in fear.
so close!
Five hundred thousand yuan!
"Come here, beat the drums, organize the army!"
"Here!"
The remnants of the Hedong Dudu Mansion have gained some morale after their own instigation.
If you can't fight head-on, why can't you even fight with a favorable wind?
The sound of war drums in Guancheng resounded loudly again.
The difference is that this time, it is not for people outside the city, but for people inside the city.
"General Wang has killed the thieves and fled, a great victory is imminent!"
"But after all, General Wang has few troops and cannot annihilate the thieves. Now is the time when we need you to wait!"
Shi Bao stood on the tower of Guancheng, drew his sword and said loudly to the soldiers below:
"The Shangdang's mistake was a crime other than war. Now is your best chance to prove it!"
"If we win this battle, everyone can wash away the shame of the Shangdang. If we can't even win such a good situation, then we can only say that it is natural that the Shangdang will be defeated!"
"Winning or losing, it all depends on this! Come here, open the city gate!"
The city gate of Gaopingguan is opened again.
…
Different from the battle situation in the south, the battle situation in the north is tilting towards the Wei army.
Although the sudden attack on Chen's army was indeed effective at the beginning, although the mobilization of Wei's army was done deliberately by Shi Bao.
But Master Sima's arrangement is not without merit.
At least after a targeted containment was carried out in response to Chen's army's breakout.
Even though the Tuchen Army had the advantage of being in a commanding position and having the advantage of having armor, it was still a new army that had never experienced a major war.
When they failed to truly break through and go north, the Han and Wei sides gradually turned into a tangled battle.
The New Army is most afraid of fighting this kind of battle.
Because this kind of battle is a great test of psychological quality and endurance.
What recruits lack most is exactly these two things.
Under the same circumstances, veterans who are familiar with the battlefield know far better than recruits how to adjust their mentality and save energy.
Fortunately, the strength of Tu Chen's army was sufficient for rotation.
In addition, Hu Fen, the son of the commander-in-chief, and other generals who came from the military training hall and the staff corps took the lead in fighting at the front.
This prevented the new recruits from giving up.
But even so, the number of troops that Tu Chen's army can rotate into battle is getting smaller and smaller.
Moreover, the people at the foot of the mountain were constantly compressed by the Wei army and forced to retreat to the mountain. It would be a matter of time.
The leader of the army to block the sudden attack on Chen's army was Niu Jin, the number one general in the Sima division.
With him personally commanding the front line, he blocked the bloody bravery of the Tu and Chen troops.
Seeing the Han army's offensive gradually weakening, Niu Jin knew that the time for his counterattack was approaching.
"Come here, send another team to Beiwei!"
"Here!"
Niu Jin is different from Sima Shi.
He is a veteran general in the army. He has been fighting for Cao Wei for more than thirty years and has rich experience in battle.
Sima Yi sent him to assist Sima Division because of his experience and wanted him to stabilize Sima Division's position.
During the initial battle with the Tuchen Army, Niu Jin suffered some losses, so Niu Jin immediately adjusted his combat policy, delaying and waiting for changes, and focusing on defense.
The Han army on the opposite side was the main attacking party, so it naturally had to expend more effort and make more sacrifices.
What Niu Jin didn't expect was that this Han army did not seem to be as elite as the legend said.
Although judging from the battle reports reported back, the opponent's armor is indeed unique.
But the combat power is not very strong.
This situation made Niu Jin feel some strange violation.
It's not just a day or two to follow the Taifu.
The reputation of the elite of the Han army is something that is typed, not spoken. Niu Jin has already seen this.
So although he saw the opportunity to counterattack at this time, he did not give the order easily.
Because he was afraid that it was a trap by the Han army.
It was precisely because of his caution that he finally saved the Wei army.
"General, it's not good! The commander's camp in the rear was attacked by bandits!"
Someone was carrying the command flag, rolling and crawling in front of Niu Jin, crying:
"General, quickly return to the army to rescue the Zhonghu Army (i.e. Sima Division)!"
"What!"
When Niu Jin heard the news, he was struck by lightning:
"How is it possible? Where did the Han army get the strength to attack the rear camp?"
"Inside Guancheng! The thieves are hiding in Guancheng. They also have a powerful army. They are extremely brave and unstoppable. There are few soldiers in the rear, so they can't stop them. They really can't stop them!"
Niu Jin felt like there was a rumbling sound in his head and ears.
He suddenly turned his head and looked to the south. Sure enough, the camp flag that could still be seen was now vague.
Then he subconsciously turned around and looked at the battlefield here.
The Han army has been continuously compressed and retreated somewhat messily.
Niu Jin's eyes were dull and his expression was dull.
I see.
I asked why the Han army on the opposite side was so weak in battle even though it clearly had the advantage of armor.
It turned out that the real elites were not dispatched, but were hiding in the city.
"What a thief!"
Niu Jin figured this out and his face became distorted.
Just a suspicious soldier!
It was actually rare for even the elite soldiers of the Wei Dynasty to see armor!
Isn’t it great to have money?
Is Han really so rich?
Niu Jin drew his sword, thrust it into the ground bitterly, gritted his teeth, and said word by word:
"Ming Jin!"
A harsh golden sound sounded.
The Wei army, which was so powerful, did not expect that the general would ask them to retreat at this critical moment.
Although I didn't understand it, I had to listen to the military order.
They could only watch as the rebel army on the opposite side took the opportunity to break away from the battle line and hurriedly retreated.
"General, why are you retreating when you are about to defeat the thieves?"
Some people stepped back from the front and couldn't wait to find Niu Jin, with a rather dissatisfied attitude.
"No time!"
Niu Jin was very anxious, but he had to explain to them:
"The thieves are extremely cunning. While I was being held up waiting here, they sent people to sneak attack the camp."
"If I were caught by a thief while waiting here, I'm afraid I would be cut in two."
When Niu Jin said this, all the generals were shocked.
"Quickly assemble the army and return to support the main camp."
Niu Jin raised his sword and said sternly.
Everyone did not dare to be negligent and quickly obeyed the order.
Someone seemed to have thought of something and reminded:
"General, are those bandits on the mountain?"
"They didn't dare to chase me."
Niu Jin glanced at the mountain and said decisively.
If the Han troops on the mountain were really just suspicious soldiers, then they would definitely not dare to pursue them easily after being beaten like this.
"Go quickly before they react."
Niu Jin's advantage as a veteran was reflected at this time.
Although the camp was lost and people suddenly felt panicked and no longer had the will to fight, Niu Jin was still able to forcefully suppress the people below and make them carry out military orders.
After all, Shi Bao was a little impatient. He didn't expect that when the camp at the rear was destroyed, the rebel army in the north would still have the courage to turn around and rescue them.
Seeing the Wei army quickly change direction and press in towards the south, Shi Bao looked at the soldiers who had just left the city gate and couldn't help but stamp his feet with regret!
Oops, there was an oversight!
"Set up the formation!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The sound of horns sounded.
"Come here, go and notify General Wang immediately and ask them to stop pursuing you."
"Let him lead the army and move closer to Guancheng immediately!"
After all, Shi Bao was not from the Hedong Governor's Mansion. In a hurry, he could not let the remnants of the Hedong Governor's Mansion act like an arm and a finger.
The military order to set up the formation was passed down, which caused them to become a little confused.
Fortunately, this was under the city, and Niu Jin had no intention of taking care of Gaoping Pass. At this time, he only wanted to go back to rescue Sima Shi.
The two sides were actually half a mile apart, passing by each other.
