Tianshui City is built along the Wei River. To the north is the boundless Loess Plateau, and to the south are green mountains and green waters. It is connected to the Qishan Camp by a small town called Xi County. It is almost the same as the east and west of Nan'an County, and this Tianshui City is built along the Wei River. The water and grass are even more luxuriant because to the west is a branch of the Minjiang River, the Bailong River, flowing through the city. To the east is a small Longshan Mountain connected to Longnan, the hometown of Xihuang, which is surrounded by mountains and rivers. At this time, an army, led by a tiger-backed general, quietly crossed Xiaolong Mountain and headed up the Weishui River to the south of Tianshui River.
"General Wang, our army has been marching day and night for more than eight days. Why don't we just rest here?" the marching captain stepped forward and said with cupped hands.
"No, we have to speed up. We have to cross this mountain today. Once discovered by the enemy, all our efforts will be wasted." The general surnamed Wang seemed to be very impatient. After all, he had been here eight times from Chang'an overnight. There was more than one day. Although the northern war horses were more durable than the southern war horses, they also lost a lot of money during the day and night. What's more, when they arrived at the foot of Xiaolong Mountain, they could no longer ride horses, so they had to abandon these horses. Fortunately, Xiaolong Mountain The mountain road was not long, and at this time, the plan to raid Xi County and strangle Qishan Mountain seemed to be very smooth. There were almost no obstacles along the way. The general couldn't help but feel emotional. He didn't expect that Governor Sima also had a clever plan.
.......
Nan'an Governor's Mansion.
Li Xian had been looking at the map for a long time. He even picked it up and pondered it every day, but could not find anything unusual. As for the fast horse sent by Liang Qian, he had not received any news for several days, so these troubles have been lingering in his mind. In my mind, I could only focus on shooting arrows on the school field.
"Whoosh!" An arrow suddenly flew out and hit the bull's-eye, causing General Liang Xuli and Liang Qian to continuously cheer. However, Li Xian's brows were always furrowed.
"You two are laughing." Li Xian said lightly.
Liang Xu stepped forward and said: "The general's archery skills are really great. To be honest, I am convinced."
Li Xian said nothing and didn't know if this was a compliment. He just wiped his hands with a rag and then asked, "Where is Zhang He?"
Liang Xu was startled at first, and then replied: "Captain, Zhang He arrived in Anding three days ago. The battle report said that it would be impossible to attack the city for a long time. However, judging from the casualties, it seems that Zhang He did not try his best to attack the city."
Li Xian also nodded and said: "Zhang He is a famous general in the world. This behavior is not like his style. I have long felt that the Wei army's movements seemed to be hiding something, but I just can't see it."
Liang Qian raised his hands and said, "Captain, none of the fast horses we sent out that day came back. Maybe the prime minister wants the general to make his own decision?"
Li Xian also shook his head helplessly, and was shocked in his heart. Such use of troops did not look like Cao Zhen's handiwork. It was most likely commanded by Sima Yi, so it was very troublesome.
"Could it be that the governor destroyed Long Dao, so Cao Rui replaced the governor?" Liang Qian asked with cupped hands.
Li Xian's mind flashed like an electric shock. The Long Road and the street pavilion were because he was guarding the street pavilion. If he hadn't guarded the street pavilion, where would Sima Yi's army go when they came here?
"Get the map quickly!" Li Xian shouted quickly.
He immediately took out a map. When he saw it, he was really frightened. If the street pavilion had not been defended, Sima Yi's army would have gone to the West City at this moment. This West City is to the south of Tianshui. Not only are the three counties connected to Qishan It is the main road for people from the three counties to enter Shu. If Zhang He, who is stable at this moment, is feigning an attack, then there will definitely be a fierce general no less than Zhang He who detours from Xiaolong Mountain to surprise the west city and grabs his throat, leaving him with no way to retreat. .
"The letter asking for help sent by General Wei Yan a few days ago?" Li Xian asked.
Liang Qian cupped his hands and replied, "It should have been five days ago."
"It's broken! Chief Liang, you are responsible for guarding Nan'an. Liang Xu, go call Tian Dali and Gong Jie and prepare quickly. The whole army will set off before noon and go to Qishan!" Li Xian quickly ordered.
"Got the order!"
.......
West County.
"My Lord County Magistrate, there are many Wei troops found in the north, about tens of thousands of them, coming at a gallop!"
"Ah, how can a small town like Xixian County stop an army of tens of thousands?" The magistrate of Xixian County was still eating, and for a moment he even lost his chopsticks. "Could it be that the Prime Minister was defeated on the front line?"
"Report! Sir, the Wei army is followed by a group of reinforcements, galloping from the north."
"Are there reinforcements? Whose reinforcements?" The magistrate of Xixian County was surprised and asked quickly.
"I can't see clearly. There is only a mainstay flag fluttering in the wind!"
"Hahahaha, that's when General Zhengdong arrived. He ordered all the men over the age of sixteen in the city to go up to the city wall and guard it for me. You must not embarrass me here!"
"yes!"
.....
South of the Wei River.
The vanguard was none other than Tian Dali's three thousand vine-armored cavalry. They reflected countless rays of light under the noon sun, like golden armor. A large flag with Li characters fluttered in the wind. Tian Dali shouted loudly: "General Zhengdong has arrived. !”
But this shout, accompanied by the shouts of these armored cavalry, suddenly overwhelmed the Wei rear army after a long journey with an invisible power.
"Is this person here Li Xian? I will not kill this unknown person!" The Wei general came to the front of the formation after changing formations, raised the sword in his hand and asked.
"Hahaha, rats, tell me your name, and I will kill the unknown people as well!" Tian Dali scolded back.
"I am Wang Shuang, the general who has been gifted by His Majesty the King of Wei. It's true that a rat can read the sword!" Wang Shuang immediately stepped forward to fight the generals in front of the formation. Tian Dali waved the flag in his hand, and for a moment the armored cavalry surged forward. Coming forward, Wang Shuang had no choice but to retreat into the formation.
At this time, Li Xian's Chinese army also slowly arrived and stopped behind Tian Dali's army formation.
"Dali, charge directly into the formation!" Li Xian ordered.
Tian Dali nodded and said, "Form up!" The cone formation was formed again, and these Wei soldiers holding swords and shields had no idea what kind of fate they were facing.
"Chisel!" Li Xian shouted.
Tian Dali waved the flag in his hand again, and a triangle like steel was cut straight in front of him. Just like this, the scene on the bank of Lushui was staged again. Not only Wang Shuang himself was suddenly stunned, but also his infantry colonel Liang Xu was also shocked. It turned out that the cavalry could operate in this way. These attacking cavalry were almost devastating, tearing a long gap in Wang Shuang's infantry formation.
"Surround me!" Wang Shuang looked at the cavalry charging in and immediately ordered. Tens of thousands of people immediately surrounded them. After all, it was a famous general from the Wei State. They also completely surrounded them for a while.
Li Xian was still expressionless, watching these vine-armored knights being surrounded. But when the encirclement of Wei soldiers had just been completed, their despair had just begun. These armored knights with both men and horses were not only invulnerable, but also had almost no mobility. No less than a light cavalry without armor.
"Liang Xu listens to the order!" Li Xian said coldly.
"The general is here!" Liang Xu cupped his hands and said.
"All Euphorbia warriors form a circle! Press forward!"
"Yes!" Liang Xu waved the general's flag in his hand, and these vine-armored halberd warriors formed a circular formation with their halberd blades facing outward, and slowly pressed forward.
Wang Shuang shouted angrily in the formation: "The front army is blocking me! I must trap these cavalry to death in the formation!"
"General! I can't stop it!"
"Then surround these for me. Even if he knows magic, he can't escape!" Wang Shuang said angrily.
For a time, Wei's front army still besieged Li Xian's front army and the Chinese army together, and the county magistrate who was watching the battle at the top of Xicheng City seemed extremely anxious.
Looking at the encircling Wei army, Li Xian just sneered, and then stood immediately under the general's flag with his spear drawn, motionless.
"Spin!" Li Xian yelled angrily, and the so-called Euphorbia warrior formation began to spin crazily, like a hurricane on the ground. Although the lethality was not as ferocious as that of the Armor Cavalry just now, such a steady and steady formation could strangle. It was not weak at all. Not long after, a huge gap appeared in the Wei army in the north.
"Take it!" Li Xian raised the spear in his hand, and the soldiers began to shrink inward, almost completing the formation change at the moment when they were strangled.
Li Xian looked at the formation again. Tian Dali's armored cavalry was able to breathe due to the pressure of Li Xian's middle army just now, so they formed their formation again. At this moment, they aimed at Wang Shuang's middle army and drove past again.
Wang Shuan could not have imagined at this moment that these less than 10,000 soldiers would actually make him helpless for a while. Moreover, if Commander Sima's clever plan had not been discovered by Li Xian, he would have accomplished a miraculous feat at this moment. Time is full of frustration and anger.
"General Wang, retreat quickly. These soldiers are invulnerable and know sorcery!" Zuo Zuo quickly advised.
Wang Shuang looked at the corpses on the ground. He was panicked for a moment, but he didn't have the same air as before, and said: "A man is only mortal, how can he run away from the battle!"
Before he finished speaking, there was a whooshing sound, and an arrow suddenly shot from under the mainstay's banner, hitting Wang Shuang's left arm. Wang Shuang was in pain and fell on the horse's back, still refusing to retreat.
"General, this is the general that Liu Chan considers his mainstay. It's not unfair to lose. Let's retreat quickly!"
"Retreat! I will die here today. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed!" Wang Shuang's eyes widened with anger. He raised his knife and beheaded the officer who just retreated. Why didn't he want to withdraw? Facing Xiaolong Mountain, Li Xian's army is in front, and Xicheng is to the south. Should we run to the west? Thinking of this, Wang Shuang had already considered death, and immediately shouted: "Thief! Take your life!" Then he led the Chinese army and rushed towards Li Xian's Chinese army desperately.
This onslaught was quite ferocious, but it was a pity that they encountered the vine-armored Euphorbia warriors who once again formed a square formation. The soldiers with high morale in the front row were removed again in an instant, and what followed was a mass fall. Next, Wang Shuang was extremely ferocious. With his own horse, he stepped over directly. He had already received dozens of wounds on his body, but his momentum was still unabated. He was able to forcefully create a gap in the phalanx of the Euphorbia warriors by himself. Covered in blood, he reached Li Xian and raised his knife to chop him down. Between the lightning and flint, a shot passed through his chest. Wang Shuang was nailed to the ground and could no longer move.
"This is a warning to all the officers and soldiers of the Wei State that those who surrender will not be killed!" Li Xianle rode on the bank of the Weishui River, raised his spear, and shouted loudly.
