The cold wind rustles, chilling all things; the flags sway, heating people's hearts.
When Wei Da Sima Cao Zhen ordered the last mobile force to march directly towards the Han army; when the prime minister's army urged the war drums to beat like thunder, Meng Yan, the leader of the Tiger Infantry Army, also changed his previous weak offensive and used his sword and spear.
Take the lead and lead the entire army to attack in one fell swoop.
Naturally, before the Tiger Infantry generals at all levels cheered with their whistles, he also asked the bodyguard beside him to take off the ox-horn bow hanging from his waist and draw the arrow in a semicircle.
The three chimes went straight up into the sky with a sharp whistling sound.
It trembled the world and awakened the battlefield where the killing was in full swing.
The eyes of the right-wing commander of the Wei army followed the two thousand Qiang cavalry who were slowly retreating and circuitous.
Afterwards, he ordered his personal guards to go and convey the order, asking all the troops under his command to shrink the array and combine it more closely, so as not to let the Qiang cavalry of the Han army find an opportunity to penetrate.
However, he thought Ming Dy was giving orders to the cavalry.
This was a penetration tactic that caused the two thousand Qiang cavalry to stop firing and harassing people, and instead switch to a desperate battle formation.
Behind the left wing in the distance, Cao Zhen, who had already drawn his sword and showed strong morale, looked at the Ming Dy that had lost its power in the sky and was falling to the ground, and his heart skipped a beat.
He does not have such simple ideas as the right-wing governor.
Instead, he thought that the purpose of Ming Dy was to send the two thousand Qiang cavalry forward to attack the six thousand elites he had just sent out.
The six thousand elites have already begun to charge!
The formation has also evolved into a long dragon!
Two thousand Qiang cavalry only need one charge to stop the formation in the middle stage; if they dig back and forth, the soldiers will be completely thrown into the chaos of "the soldiers can't find the general". And roughly estimate the time, the Han army Qiang cavalry rushed to the central army
At that time, it should be the time when the Wei army rushed to the front of the Han army's banner and fought hand-to-hand with the soldiers and horses of the three schools.
Guarding by foot and riding by horse, it is perfect.
Suddenly, people felt that it was difficult for the six thousand elite Wei troops to kill the generals and capture the flag.
Is this what Zhuge Liang relied on to dare to make the Chinese army's defense weak?
Cao Zhen quietly said something in his heart.
However, those two thousand Qiang cavalry did not come towards the Chinese army!
He couldn't help but frown, and after a moment, he suddenly looked back.
He saw that the snow on the trees on the gentle slope of the low hill behind was shaking and falling; he heard the muffled sound of thunder coming from far to near.
Zhuge Liang actually set up an ambush!?
It's just that all Ni Shu's troops are here, so how can he have extra troops to set up an ambush!?
Cao Zhen was puzzled.
Looking at the mountain road about three miles behind, a flag with a large "Han" character embroidered on it suddenly appeared; behind the flag, there were also red dots, spreading across the hillside.
Just like the rising sun, it gives the world alluring rays of rays of light.
It also made Cao Zhen close his eyes and sigh.
He understood clearly in his heart.
Because the Han army's ambush only consisted of about two hundred horses.
This small number can easily hide in the ravine-ridden terrain.
Especially the two thousand Qiang cavalry can provide cover - when the Wei army's scouts are spying on the military situation, it is impossible to count at close range whether the Han army is advancing with two thousand cavalry or 1,800 cavalry.
In other words, even if the Wei army scouts witnessed the Han army dividing two hundred cavalry, they would not go into details.
In the fierce battle of nearly 100,000 troops, a mere two hundred cavalry were nothing more than vigilant cavalry at best!
Who thinks it can influence the outcome of the war?
However, when the two hundred cavalry and horses were all wearing heavy armor, and when all the mobile forces of the Wei army were dispatched, things became different.
Of course!
The ones the Prime Minister ambushed were Zhang Te's two hundred armored cavalry!
When he broke camp and returned to Longyou three days ago, the prime minister left Zhang Te's two hundred cavalry in the river valley.
Due to the depth of the river valley and the fact that they set fire to the camp and the deer village and other debris before leaving, the Wei army would not go deep into the river valley to explore. Moreover, after the two hundred armored cavalry came here with the army, the prime minister always regarded them as light cavalry.
Used. The Wei army's scouts were not allowed to spy and the Han army's armored cavalry was also marched here to collect the effect of surprise troops.
Looking at it now, the effect is remarkable.
When Cao Zhen saw the armored cavalry coming suddenly, he closed his eyes and sighed.
However, the right-wing governor was not appointed, and his shrill roar was like a night owl in the deep mountains and forests.
"Enemy attack~~~~"
"Transfer to the back formation~~~~~"
But when the soldiers under his command faced the Tiger Infantry attack head-on, could they still turn to defend the rear as he wished?
the answer is negative.
The cavalry charging at extremely high speeds, the distance of three (Han) miles is only dozens of finger snaps.
Zhang Te, who was leading the horse, kicked the horse's belly with both feet and raised the flag in his hand high. In an instant, all the Han riders roared: "Fight the rebels! Kill the thieves!"
The torrent of steel is incomparable.
When the armored cavalry rushed to within twenty paces of the Wei army's right wing, the cavalry in the front row leveled their "divination halberds".
The divination halberd is a weapon similar to the Ge, but with a double-edged sword tip protruding from the front. It was once an institutional weapon in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, but is now almost eliminated in the military.
But this weapon has a characteristic: after it penetrates the enemy's body, the crossbar will hinder the long handle from penetrating further.
The armored knights only need to push hard with both hands to throw away the corpse hanging from the weapon. If they are lucky, the crossbar will even knock the corpse away directly due to the inertia of the force reaction.
They were seen holding divination halberds in both hands. After rushing into the bandits' formation and stabbing into the human body, they then used both hands to push them apart.
At the same time, the waist and legs work together to control the horse to separate to both sides, making way for the middle road.
The divination cavalry are only the cavalry in the front row, in order to open the gap in the enemy's array; among the armored cavalry following them, they are all raised high. They are thick-ridged rings with single-sided blades, which are especially conducive to slashing.
First knife!
"kill!"
The sound of hoofbeats is rapid, and the swords are flashing!
Heads flying, stumps flying, blood flying!
The red banner of the Han Dynasty gallops forward, unstoppable.
The red torrent of soldiers of the Han Dynasty turned into an arrow that escaped from the bowstring on the snow-white land and drank in the long wind. It was unstoppable and invincible to those who stood in its way!
With only one breakthrough, the Wei army's right flank, which was four to five miles long, was penetrated.
It also opened a gap for the Tiger Infantry and the two thousand Qiang Cavalry.
Amid the neighing of the war horses and the wails of the Wei army, a roar burst out that made the world change color: "The great Han is mighty!"
Inevitably, the right flank of the Wei army, which was flanked, collapsed instantly without the help of the central army! The helpless general died in the chaos; the defeated troops swarmed to the left wing or fled to the rear.
However, Meng Yan and Zhu Yi ignored them.
Instead, they all drove the soldiers towards Cao Zhen's banner in unison.
Zhang Te, whose thick armor was covered in blood and scraps of flesh, led his armored cavalry through the formation and detoured back to the outside of the battlefield.
"Dismount! Dismount!"
His vigorous leaping war horse tore at his armor and shouted loudly, "Remove your armor quickly! Remove your armor quickly! It's too late to kill the general and seize the flag!"
