Chapter 697 Running away

At fifty battles north of the Wei army camp. Under the command of Deng Ai, another 100,000 Wei infantry and 4,000 Wei cavalry had already set up military formations.

The twelve spear quadras were arranged in depth by five rows, nearly forty miles wide. This width was enough to ensure that the possible Liang army chariots could not pass through the company, thus launching a raid on the back of Sima Yi's main force formation. The other six spear quadras were divided into two rows, blocking the left and right wings to prevent enemy attacks from the flanks.

Deng Ai knew that the Liang army, composed of two thousand chariots and two thousand light cavalry, had no time or ability to attack both ends of his formation. What he was worried about was that the Liang army cavalry would stalkers pass by both ends of the company and then raid his wings. Although the possibility was very low, he had to be careful.

But Deng Ai would never have dreamed that the Liang army could defeat tens of thousands of Wei army troops in a very short time. At this time, Deng Ai, who was standing in the military formation and looking into the distance, vaguely heard the people behind him shouting horses and neighing, and the fighting sounds of weapons clashing. He felt puzzled, this place is not a space for the front battlefield, but also a hundred battles away. Why is the noise of fighting so loud?

Thinking of this, Deng Ai immediately ordered a personal guard to go south to check the situation. Less than a quarter of an hour later, the soldiers returned with a horse. Before Deng Ai could ask him why he came back so soon, he reported in a hurry: "Report!... Report... Liang's army is attacking all the camps in the company camp, and some Liang's army has rushed into the camps of the central army camp!"

When Deng Ai heard this, he was shocked at first, and then scolded: "Nonsense, even if the Liang army can break through our main force, it will not take only such a little time, and it is even more impossible to break into our Wei army camp in such a little time! Could it be that the small Liang army sneak attacked a certain camp, saying that the Liang army broke through all the camps in the camp?"

"Return...Return the general, no. When the little one entered one of the camps, he saw that the Liang army was attacking the camp in large quantities. A mount made of beasts broke into the wall and broke into the camp. Then a large number of Liang soldiers rushed into the gap in the breakthrough. The little one quickly rode his horse out and turned into the nearby camp. The same was true for the same. And the little one also heard the sound of killing. In addition, the little one also saw a large number of our robes defeating the camp. Obviously, the Liang army had defeated the frontal formation of our army."

When the Lingbing soldiers finished speaking in a daze, Deng Ai still didn't believe it. But he had seen countless Wei soldiers running out of various camps outside fifty battles, and then he believed that what Lingbing said was true. At the same time, a cavalry team of 100 people rushed to him. Deng Ai could see clearly that the person in the leader was Sima Yi. He was about to bow and bow, but Sima Yi had already waved his arm from afar and shouted: "Shizai, turn the general's head quickly. There is no time to say more. Just follow what he said."

Deng Ai did not dare to hesitate and immediately ordered the orders to send orders to turn the direction of all military formations. However, it was too late to turn the army. Even if everyone turned back the simplest way, it would take two or three quarters of an hour to pass the orders to the divisions of the military formations that lasted dozens of miles.

At this time, the Liang army cavalry led by Hua Xiong and Xu Rong had already penetrated through the Wei army camps on both sides, and then spread into dozens of strands, attacking the backs of various Wei army formations.

Sima Yi and Deng Ai saw that two torrents of iron cavalry were rolling from the gap between the camp and the military formation, and they kept splitting out small groups of cavalry teams to attack the various Wei army spear formations. The last two small groups of cavalry teams rushed towards them.

Sima Yi's face suddenly became desperate. He knew that the defeat was decided today, and now the thirty-six strategies were the best, and escaping was the most important thing. So he hurriedly said to Deng Ai: "Shizai, let me leave this here to you. Try to block the Liang army as much as possible. If you really can't stop it, you retreat to Yecheng."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Deng Ai to answer, and then rode his horse and took a hundred personal guards to continue to flee north. Before Deng Ai could come to his senses, he heard a series of loud noises in his ears. It turned out that the square formation where he was located had just turned around and had not put down his spear. The heavy cavalry of the Liang army and the light cavalry had already broken into the square formation, and dozens of Wei spearmen in the front row had been knocked out by tall war horses.

Deng Ai shouted anxiously: "Put down the spear! Although they are war cavalry, they are not many. We work together to annihilate them. Otherwise, we will die without a burial place."

Deng Ai said it right. Each phalanx of the Wei army had about 3,000 to 5,000 infantrymen. The Liang army cavalry that broke into each phalanx only had two or three squadrons, each 100 cavalry. Even if there was no military formation, as long as the Liang army cavalry failed to penetrate the military formation, when the Liang army cavalry speed slowed down, the spearmen rushed forward and stabbed them indiscriminately.

The regular military soldiers of the Wei army accounted for a considerable proportion in the Central Military Formation where Deng Ai was located. Therefore, they had stronger combat power than other phalanxes, and they were the first to receive Deng Ai's military order. Compared with the Wei soldiers of the other phalanxes, they were not so caught off guard or lost in the dark.

A Liang army cavalry team that collided with Deng Ai's main formation. The heavy iron cavalry in the front hit three rows of Wei soldiers one after another. The knights on the mounts danced wildly with wolf-toothed sticks, slamming the spears of the Wei soldiers on both sides and smashing their heads. The heavy and light cavalry behind them also waved the wolf-toothed sticks and slashing sabers, and launched a killing attack on the Wei soldiers on both sides.

However, at this time, the speed of the horses in the front row of the Liang army cavalry had completely slowed down. The last two rows of Wei spearmen retreated backwards at the same time, and at the same time, they dropped the spear in their hands, aiming the dense spear tips at the Liang army cavalry.

"Kill" With a bold shout, dozens of spears stabbed towards the Liang army's heavy cavalry. The spear armor on the heavy cavalry blocked the stabbing of more than a dozen spear blades, but more than ten spear blades passed through the armor, stabbing and killing the five horses and knights who rushed to the front of the cavalry to the ground. The spearmen on both sides also escaped the temporary panic and retreated to make room to level the spears. At this moment, three heavy iron cavalry rode forward. The two rows of spearmen in the Wei army had not had time to collect their guns. Several of them were pushed to the ground by the huge war horses and then trampled by the other few. The skulls of the waving wolf teeth and sticks were smashed or their internal organs.

The three heavy cavalry rode the horse and rode the horse and protruded the crowd. The Liang army cavalry behind them followed them through the formation, and finally tore a hole in the Wei army formation. In fact, the Wei army's spearmen were no longer in formation because of dodging and retreating. The Wei soldiers who had retreated and made room for a clearance of space stabbed the Liang army cavalry passing through the formation, and more than a dozen Liang army cavalry were taken off their horses.

At this moment, a large number of Wei army defeated troops rushed out of the camp, chasing the Wei army's phalanx, which was no longer in formation. Liang army infantry followed and rushed over and quickly rushed into the crowd of Wei spearmen. These Wei soldiers holding long spears seemed to have become unarmed people and could only let the other party kill. The entire phalanx dispersed in the blink of an eye, and Deng Ai also fled. In fact, those phalanxes that had not received Deng Ai's military order in time, were not fully prepared and had less combat strength and morale than Deng Ai's main unit. Before the Liang army infantry entered the formation, they collapsed one after another under the assault of Liang army cavalry.

The scene of the previous war recurred again, and hundreds of thousands of troops fled north like a tide. The Wei cavalry defeated troops had already run wildly from the space between the square formation and the square formation toward being fleeing.
