Chapter 184: The fierce battle on both sides of the strait (1)
Updated: 2012-09-09
Wang Jun, the general of Wei State, saw through Jiang Wei's old suspicion formation, led the main force of the Wei army in Wancheng to run out of the city and rushed towards Xiangyang. He chased for more than 30 miles in one breath, but there was still no movement from the Shu army. Wang Jun was slightly excited. The more he could not catch up with the Shu army, the more it showed that the Shu army was urgently rushing to Xiangyang, which was in line with his own speculation.
Although Jiang Wei was the number one person in Shu Han, at this moment, is there any other way besides rushing to Xiangyang to help?
He chased after more than twenty miles, but when he heard the shouting of killing Zhentian in front of him, Wang Jun was overjoyed: "This must be a battle between the Shu army and General Sima. We should go to support him quickly!" After hearing this, the Wei army fought bravely, clamored and rushed to the battlefield ahead!
After traveling five miles, I saw a Shu army and the Wei army fighting in a melee, and it was difficult to separate. The Wei army was about to join in and attack the Shu army, but suddenly the fire broke out everywhere, turning into a prairie fire, and countless fireballs rushed towards me!
"No, I'm trapped!" Wang Jun was shocked when he saw this. This fireball was a must-have for fire attack and ambush. The Shu army must have prepared for so many fireballs in such a short time. Jiang Wei was indeed the number one in Shu Han. Not to mention such a strategy, but the method used to send the Shu army around him to ignite the fireballs at the same time made him unable to think of it.
"General, the Shu army is ready, let's retreat quickly!" A deputy general was scared by Jiang Wei and shouted hurriedly when he saw this.
Wang Jun said angrily: "The people of Shu dare not show their heads, and only use fire to stop them. They must be fighting ahead and not sending troops! If anyone dares to retreat, they will kill them!" As soon as these words came out, the deputy general shivered and had to wave his weapons to follow Wang Jun, without saying anything.
After being ambushed, the Wei army was in a panic. The fire spread was hard to resist, so it could only retreat continuously. Countless arrows in the air fell under the flames, and countless Wei soldiers were shot and killed on the spot. Wang Jun panicked but was not confused, and organized the Wei army to retreat slightly, set up a formation to resist the attack of the Shu army's arrows, and gradually began to counterattack.
The Shu army released a fire and did not send troops to attack the Wei army. The Wei army was unable to join the battlefield due to the fire, but it was not in a hurry. The Shu army and the Wei army were obviously fighting each other. The Wei army could somewhat restrain some of the Shu army here. Sima Gan in the front led the Wei army to fight fiercely with the Shu army, and took a certain advantage.
Wang Jun's meticulous thoughts are so meticulous that people have to admire, but Sima Gan is not Wang Jun. The Wei army had already fallen into the ambush of the Shu army.
It turned out that after Jiang Wei and Luo Xian met, they decided to take a risk after thinking for a moment! Wang Jun is one of the few famous generals in the Wei State, but he is strong in character and is willing to make achievements. He will definitely be satisfied with dealing with Wang Jun with a plan of doubt. It is precisely because he could not hide it from Wang Jun that he could undoubtedly believe in his personal judgment. Therefore, Wang Jun's "confidence" at this time was just because the Shu army was deliberately helping to "create".
Wang Jun is resourceful, but it is easy to deal with; Sima Gan is stupid and more cautious than Wang Jun.
When Sima Gan learned that Wancheng was defeated and Sima Jing was killed, Sima Gan couldn't help crying. The brothers died everywhere, but now only he and Sima Yichang remain. Since Jiang Wei came in person, he must have to rescue Xiangyang, but Wancheng lost its chief general, it was a crisis. Sima Gan wanted to save Wancheng, but wanted to support Xiangyang, but was afraid that the Shu army would copy him behind him. After hesitation, he decided to turn back to fight against the Shu army!
After all, Du Yu is in an advantage, and even if he arrives later, it is harmless. It is a contribution to stop Jiang Wei's troops here, and he can even wait for an opportunity to avenge Sima Jing! Sima Gan divided his troops into three groups, and was ambushed on the road before dawn, waiting for the Shu army to come.
The Shu army was eager to rush to the road, but it was indeed unsuccessful and fell into Sima Gan's ambush. More than 10,000 Shu army was besieged by the three Wei troops, and had to fight hard and had no power to fight back. It urged people to fight, but Sima Gan secretly disappeared from Jiang Wei's whereabouts, and secretly divided his troops to garrison all directions to prevent the Shu army from attacking.
This move was predicted by the movements of the Shu army. At the moment of fierce war, a Shu army broke out from a small path, and the general led by Shu was unstoppable! In the dark night, the general shouted "Jiang Boyou is here!". The Wei army mostly fought with the Shu Han emperor Liu Chan, but Jiang Wei had more defenses and less attacks.
When Deng Ai restrained Jiang Wei, unfortunately Deng Ai made a self-improvement and destroyed tens of thousands of elite Wei troops, which had long become a negative teaching material. Later, Zhong Hui led his troops to resist Jiang Wei, but Zhong Hui colluded with foreign races to disrupt the Central Plains, and ended up in a tragic end. After Deng Ai and Zhong Hui, there was no suitable candidate in the Wei Dynasty, so Sima Zhao could only take action personally.
But Sima Zhao is not Jiang Wei's opponent. After repeated defeats, he can only adopt Sima Yi's story against Zhuge Wuhou and cannot stand it.
This time, Zhuge Wuhou died of illness in Wuzhangyuan, and finally achieved the merit of Sima Yi. Sima Zhao died of illness in Luoyang, but now he achieved Jiang Wei's reputation!
Although the Wei Kingdom is big, it is difficult to find someone to compete with Jiang Wei! Even if Du Yu's plan made Liu Chan trapped and Shu Han was about to perish, it would be impossible to hide the three of Jiang Wei, Mr. Qingcheng, and Yang Hu.
With these three people working together, can we restore the decline of the Han Dynasty?
Sima Gan didn't know what Mr. Qingcheng and Yang Hu were, but he knew that Jiang Wei was definitely not easy to mess with. The Wei army was all involved in the war, and the Shu army that came to support was very fierce. Sima Gan commanded the army for a long time, but he was full of doubts. The Shu general called himself Jiang Wei, why did his voice and appearance look so familiar?
"Luo Xian, how dare you do this!" Sima Gan plucked up his courage to approach the battlefield surrounded by the generals. After careful observation, he was furious and furious! It turned out that the general led the Shu army was Luo Xian who had fought hard in Wancheng before, and there was no Jiang Wei...
The two sides fought late at night, and the light balls and torches they had prepared gradually went out or landed. The fire on the battlefield became less and less, and the brightest place was Sima Gan's central army. The Wei army here set up a formation and surrounded Sima Gan without fighting, so it was naturally much more stable.
But the goal is much more obvious...
When the cold wind came, Sima Gan felt that his whole body was cold and his irritable mood began to stabilize. But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves went from far to near, and behind Sima Gan, Jiang Wei and Shu Han cavalry who were walking around finally arrived and rushed into the battlefield from the rear of the Wei army!
The cavalry of Shu Han was far inferior to the elite of Wei cavalry, not the horses and equipment, but the cavalry tradition. The cavalry of Wei has a long history, with many riders and superb riding skills. The cavalry's tactics are sophisticated and advanced and retreated properly, so there is naturally a tacit understanding on the battlefield. The war horses of Shu Han are rare, but they have been expanded in recent years. There are far fewer people who are good at riding and shooting than the Wei cavalry, let alone the tactical cooperation of more than a thousand cavalry.
It started late and was the biggest weakness of the Shu Han cavalry.
But here in Jiang Wei, his weaknesses almost no longer exist - Jiang Wei, who was born in Liangzhou, is not unfamiliar with cavalry, but on the contrary, he has a deep understanding of it. Sima Zhao took the defensive moment, and Hulao Pass was anxious and difficult to get out. Jiang Wei went east to focus on training cavalry in addition to daily military affairs. The five thousand iron cavalry under his command were the crystallization of Jiang Wei's hard work for several years, and his combat power was definitely not inferior to the elite iron cavalry of Wei!
Now... the most elite Hebei cavalry in Wei State was raging in Xiangyang. Even though Sima Gan had tens of thousands of cavalrymen, they were essentially second-rate goods, not to mention that the Shu army suddenly attacked from the rear?
Jiang Wei wanted to take advantage of the power of the cavalry to kill Sima Gan, but Sima Gan heard about Sima Jing's death and was afraid that he would have added a strong general to his central army. Jiang Wei rushed forward, and Sima Gan kept retreating his central army and retreated deep into the battlefield to avoid the impact of the Shu army and Jiang Wei's pursuit!
Seeing that Sima Gan was so happy, Jiang Wei was not anxious to rejoice, and the marching and combat formations should not be neglected. Sima Gan, as the chief general of the central army, retreated his troops deep into the battlefield. Not to mention that it was the hinterland of the Shu army, but the difficulty in command news was enough to make the Wei army hate it!
Except for some of the Shu army lying on the way to Wancheng, the remaining Shu army began to rush around and give the battlefield to the Wei army. Jiang Wei rushed from the rear of the Wei army, and the squeezed Wei army formation turned into retreating towards Wancheng; the Shu army who came from Wancheng made way, but Sima Gan and a group of Wei army gathered together.
The Shu army was brave and Jiang Wei was unable to defeat him. Sima Gan was worried. Seeing that the Shu army retreated one after another, he was very happy. He didn't care about the intentions of the Shu army, and he gathered heavy troops to his side first.
At this moment, Wang Jun's Wei army also arrived and was blocked by the fire and shot against the ambush of the Shu army. The Shu Han ambush was not very strong, and after the war caused, they fled. However, Sima Gan's Wei army was attacked by Jiang Wei and gradually retreated to the vicinity of the fire...
