"General Gongsun has lived in Shanyin for a long time, so he may not know that the Guhua Road is a mountain road. It is difficult to walk in rugged areas and is not suitable for war horses at all! On the other hand, Liujin Road, even though it is also a small road and has many dangerous places, it can at least be used for walking. War horses pass!
The general thought that if Huangfu Wugui was defeated, what choice would he make? Wang Yu asked with interest.
"That's it!" Gongsun Zan seemed to have lost something!
When a person is running for his life, the first thing he can think of is to escape as quickly as possible.
The only major road, the Ancient Xuanma Road, is guarded by enemy troops. Of the remaining two roads, the first choice is of course the Liujin Road where war horses can gallop. If we take the Guhua Road, we will have to abandon our war horses at that time. And running away at walking speed, isn't this just fun?
"Even if Huangfu Wugui and Chu Jingzhong really choose the Guhua Road, there should be no serious problems! If Huangfu Wugui and Chu Jingzhong don't arrive at the Liujin Road, we can use our light cavalry to take a detour, and we can naturally intercept Huangfu Wugui in front. Return to Chu Jingzhong!" Xuanyuan Huang added.
If Huangfu Wugui and Chu Jingzhong really chose the Guhua Road, their light cavalry would easily be able to intercept the opponent in front given the opponent's pitiful marching speed.
Especially Gongsun Zan's white-horse Yi Cong. Their frontal cavalry ability is not as good as that of the black cavalry, but speed is always one of their strengths. If Baima Yicong pursues them, Huangfu Wugui and Chu Jingzhong will have no chance of escaping in advance.
As for Liujin Road, this is not a big road, but a small road. There are several places along the way that are suitable for ambushes. After the defeat, Huangfu Wugui and Chu Jingzhong, who fled in a panic, had no choice but to follow them. It was enough to leave five hundred cavalry in ambush here.
Guan Zhong and Zhuge Liang asked Yang Yanzhao to desperately defend the ancient Xuanma Road, just to force Huangfu Wugui and Chu Jingzhong to the path they had chosen for each other in advance.
The army's strategies have been exhausted, and the next step is to wait for the war to begin!
And waiting has always been a very test of patience, and the waiting time has always been very long, but when that day comes, it seems like a fleeting moment.
In short, what is supposed to come finally comes! The decisive battle between the two sides has also begun!
Regarding Zhuge Liang's letter of challenge, Huangfu Wugui was quite surprised and uncertain at the beginning!
Even if he sent 30,000 horses to fight for the ancient Xuanma Road, Huangfu Wugui still had 100,000 horses in his hands, but Zhuge Liang only had 70,000 horses at full strength.
Moreover, except for Lan Yu's 10,000 troops, the rest are just some mere field troops. How can they be compared with the main force of the Forbidden Army in his hands?
But Zhuge Liang chose to issue a challenge at this time, which made Huangfu even more shocked and suspicious!
It is said that once they were afraid of snake bites and ten years of being afraid of well ropes, Huangfu had never forgotten that in the battle with Han Xin, their side never looked like there was a possibility of losing. Feilong Riding the face was obviously a sure win, but in the end Han Xin was defeated!
It was precisely because of this stop that Huangfu Wugui once became a laughing stock among Da Cang generals. If his background wasn't strong enough, his official position would have been cut down a few levels in his lifetime!
Huangfu Wugui once became a laughing stock among Da Cang generals and was regarded as a representative of incompetence. However, Huangfu Wugui really has no ability. Is he really that incompetent?
Of course this is impossible. If Huangfu Wugui, the heaven-level commander, is incompetent, how many capable people can be found in the world?
It's a pity that sometimes fate is like this! Only when he meets an absolutely formidable opponent will he appear so incompetent!
After Han Xin, Zhuge Liang came up with such a trick for him again. He had to think more about it even though he had no return, for fear that there was some plot by Zhuge Liang behind it.
However, one hundred thousand soldiers and horses beat the opponent's 70,000 soldiers and horses, and the quality of the 70,000 soldiers and horses was not as good as his own. Such a great opportunity, Huangfu was unwilling to let it go!
】
After discussing with Chu Jingzhong, Huangfu Wugui's final choice was still to fight Zhuge Liang.
If the other party has been huddled in the city wall, they want to capture the other party, but they don't know how many sacrifices they have to make. There is even a possibility of a comeback on their side.
The other party finally took the initiative to come out. If they could not avoid the fight, they would have wasted such a great opportunity. Moreover, once this matter spreads out, the reputation of the two of them in Da Cang will be bad, and they don't know how much they will be laughed at.
However, Huangfu's worry about not returning is not unreasonable. As the weaker side, Zhuge Liang still wants to take the initiative to fight them. This makes it difficult for people to believe that the other side has no conspiracy behind it.
Therefore, after a brief summary, Huangfu Wugui and Chu Jingzhong decided that Huangfu Wugui would lead 80,000 troops to fight Zhuge Liang, while Chu Jingzhong would lead the last 20,000 troops to defend Zhuge Liang's back-up. .
The opponent's soldiers and horses are always the same. Even if there is some conspiracy, it is enough if they keep 20,000 soldiers and horses in case of unexpected events.
So, under such a background, the two sides officially began a decisive battle.
Just after the decisive battle began, the garrison army was indeed inferior to the Forbidden Army in terms of combat strength. In addition, even if Huangfu Wugui left 20,000 troops, the troops that Huangfu Wugui could mobilize still slightly exceeded the troops that Zhuge Liang could mobilize. a little.
Therefore, the situation on the battlefield is obviously not good for Zhuge Liang!
After all, the garrison army is only a second-line force. No matter how powerful Zhuge Liang is, it is impossible to train the garrison army to be stronger than the Forbidden Army when the resources invested in all aspects and the training intensity are insufficient.
However, Huangfu Wugui's performance in this battle can almost be said to be Huangfu's turtle. Obviously I have the advantage, but because I am worried that I will accidentally fall into the opponent's trap, I have been timid.
"Lanyu will move, the heavy cavalry will be dispatched, and attack Huangfu Wugui's central army with all his strength!" As the situation developed, and being forced to do so, Zhuge Liang could only use his last trump card.
Lan Yu's hundreds of heavy cavalry have appeared a long time ago, and over the years, under Lan Yu's careful training, the combat power of this heavy cavalry has become increasingly astonishing.
Zhuge Liang tried his best to force out the 20,000 troops that Huangfu Wugui had hidden at the end, but Huangfu Wugui beat him to death and refused to let Zhuge Liang do so. After these hundreds of heavy cavalry were sent up, if Huangfu didn't return and didn't respond, Zhuge Liang could only express his helplessness!
