Weird Three Kingdoms

When Sima Yi received the report sent by Sima Fu, he suddenly became pale. It was probably similar to Zhuge Liang's mood when he received the report from Ma Su.

Yes, Sima Yi has selfish motives.

Sima is a minor surname.

This small surname does not mean that the Sima family itself is big or not, but that the Sima family is a surname that does not have many people in the Han Dynasty. Just like Zhuge, regardless of whether Sima Yi's own family is big or not, there are not many Sima families in other areas anyway. .

This determines that every descendant of the Sima family is very important.

The important premise is that it is useful.

Of course, Sima Yi also wanted to make Sima Fu a man with both civil and military skills, so he was willing to let Sima Fu lead the army again after failing once. However, Sima Yi never expected that he had given Sima Fu hints and instructions, and Sima Fu was still the leader. make a mistake……

Sima Yi's plan is that Sima Fu wants to find and hold back Cao Jun. The process of finding and holding back Cao Jun cannot be without damage, but as long as it is held back, Sima Yi can come with the rear army and complete the battle. .

So how can we better find and hold it?

Naturally, it is necessary to spread it out like a net, then build it in multiple layers, and chase it alternately. Even if it loses a small number of men and horses, Cao Jun will be unable to break free. He can only flop around in the water like a hooked big fish, and eventually be consumed. All the physical strength...

In this process, exchange is inevitable. And in this process, some people will die and some people will grow.

The private soldiers of the Sima family can mix with the hussar soldiers to gain experience, death and promotion.

The comradeship formed between life and death on the battlefield goes far beyond ordinary dog ​​meat friends.

If the Sima family wants to grow stronger, it can't be done behind closed doors.

This is why Sima Yi specially emphasized to Sima Fu the meaning of the four words "kindness does not control soldiers". He cannot be afraid of his soldiers being injured, and even Sima Fu himself cannot be afraid of death. However, Sima Fu made the opposite decision. He let the soldiers Gather together and march in groups.

Although this will reduce the damage of the soldiers, it will also give the initiative to Cao's army.

Sima Yi gave the order to immediately gather troops and go to rescue Sima Fu overnight.

Sima Yi felt that something might be wrong with Sima Fu.

Although Sima Fu is also surrounded by Sima's elite private soldiers, who can save Sima Fu's life in most cases, but the troops under his command...

So was Sima Fu wrong?

Regarding the local strategy, Sima Fu was not wrong, but regarding the overall battlefield, he was wrong.

Mistakes on the battlefield are costly.

When Xia Houyuan attacked, those horsemen and horses who had been chasing for a day and were resting after a hard day's work heard the shouts of killing outside the camp. From a certain perspective, they underestimated the enemy.

Underestimating the enemy is not the intention of the Cavaliers, it is just the cognitive limitation formed by the environment in the North...

Just as everyone knows that the essence of learning is to learn for oneself, and knowledge is self-growth, but if there is an environment with a good learning atmosphere, the efficiency of learning will also be improved. For Sima Tongyu, these things that originally belonged to Huang As for the hussars and horses under their command, the area where they were stationed before was surrounded by tribes that were weaker than them, the Hu cavalry. They are naturally elite and are used to being invincible, so they naturally think that they are the most powerful...

This kind of mentality is not bad, but it can easily turn from self-confidence to arrogance, and then to underestimation of the enemy.

Sima Fu didn't notice this, so he naturally didn't make any adjustments. He is not an excellent commander. It can even be said that as a civil servant, Sima Fu had no problems at all, but as a military general, he was far worse.

The hussars were a little panicked when they were attacked by Xia Houyuan, but they still followed the instructions and rushed out of the tent one by one in an orderly manner, untied the horses tied to the tent, and prepared to annihilate these enemies who did not know the heights of the sky.

They were in a relatively relaxed state, even a little excited, without much nervousness or fear.

Because they thought there were only a few hundred Cao troops attacking.

With just a few hundred Cao troops, where are their opponents?
Not even remotely challenging.

Even Sima Fu thought so, but soon he regretted it...

Sima Fu thought his men had the advantage, so he attacked.

After encountering the attack, Sima Fu rushed out of the camp with his troops. In front of them, not only two to three hundred Cao Jun cavalry, but the entire Cao Jun troops commanded by Xia Houyuan.

After Sima Fu gathered together and marched together, Xia Houyuan gave up many ambush plans and even deliberately left the artifacts prepared for the ambush. On the one hand, it allowed Sima Fu to follow the route arranged by him, and on the other hand, it was to paralyze Sima Fu. , making Sima Fu mistakenly believe that his troops were sufficient, so that Cao Jun did not dare to sneak attack or ambush.

In fact, Xia Houyuan's assembled troops now surpassed Sima Fu in some areas.

As long as they could mount their horses and fight, Xia Houyuan brought them all. As for whether the soldiers would die or be injured after the battle, that was a matter after the battle. Now Xia Houyuan just wanted to swallow Sima Fu.

If Sima Fu dispersed his troops as Sima Yi said and positioned himself behind the net troops, then there would be no danger even if part of the net in front was gnawed by Xia Houyuan. After all, facing the network tracking, Xia Houyuan could only scatter against each other, or gather together to make a breakthrough, and no matter which method it was, it meant that Xia Houyuan passively responded and struggled.

But now, Sima Fu thought he was safe, but actually he put himself and the hussars in danger.

"kill! 』

Sima Fu's eyes widened, he shouted with all his strength, and cut off the head of a Cao Jun cavalryman in front of him with a knife.

Blood spurted out from the neck of Cao Cao's cavalry and splashed all over Sima Fu's head and face. The blood seemed to be hot, so hot that he subconsciously closed his eyes, but before he closed his eyes, he vaguely saw a spear stabbing him, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

Most of the descendants of the gentry in the Han Dynasty practiced martial arts.

Sima Fu naturally practiced martial arts, but he really had no experience in battle, so when he was sprayed with blood, he instinctively closed his eyes. This would normally be fine, but now...

Of course he knew this knowledge and tried to avoid it as much as possible in daily training, but at that moment he instinctively closed his eyes. When he realized that this was a mistake, the spear of Cao's cavalry had already pierced his face.

Fortunately, Sima Fu was still protected by the Sima family. Sima Yi knew that Sima Fu was still injured, so he sent some guards to protect Sima Fu. These guards had been following Sima Fu. When they saw the spears of Cao's cavalry approaching, Sima Fu did not make any move to block. He immediately took up his position and slashed diagonally with the sword in his hand, severely slashing the cavalry of Cao's cavalry. On the spearhead, the spear tilted, and then the sword passed along the spear handle, cutting off the arm of Cao Jun's cavalry.

"Lang Jun, be careful!" 』

The guard shouted, reminding Sima Fu.

Sima Fu's face turned red with shame. But now he is covered in blood, no matter how red he is, no one else can see it.

Sima Fu didn't expect that Cao Jun, who had been running away with his tail raised, would have the courage to fight back. He didn't expect that the force of the counterattack would be so strong. He was killed all of a sudden and was caught off guard.

The guards' actions to protect Sima Fu attracted Xia Houyuan's attention.

Xia Houyuan led more than 100 elite troops and charged forward wildly, leaving a trail of blood behind him. Many hussars were cut and stabbed to death. Even if they fell off their horses, even if they did not die on the spot, they would still be trampled in the chest by the galloping horses. Abdomen, most likely will not escape bad luck.

The Hussars soldiers still persisted, and they continued to fight back. Even though the formation was cut into two by Xia Houyuan, and their morale was severely damaged, the Hussars soldiers still did not give up and were still fighting. Some of them urged their horses to reach the optimal speed, while others fought hard with Cao's soldiers. Even if their swords were released, they picked up broken spears or wooden handles and were wrestling with each other.

But losing the bonus of the array will ultimately result in a loss.

What's more, the hussars and horses have been accustomed to fighting in coordination with each other from the beginning, rather than fighting alone. Although these hussars were still tenacious and unyielding, they gradually fell at a disadvantage under Xia Houyuan's crazy attacks.

The battlefield is extremely dangerous. Although war is ultimately about strength, it is normal for a certain area to have a comeback.

Soldiers never tire of deception, and the generals on both sides use their own strategies, cheating and counter-deception, concealing and counter-concealing, and competing with each other's wisdom all the time.

To show weakness, to take advantage of strength, to show something with nothing, and to show something with nothing, these are the tactics that Sima Fu is familiar with in his daily life, but there is always a considerable distance between knowing and using the Tao...

Xiahou Yuan had always exposed only part of his army whether he was attacking Dongyuan or ambushing Sima Fu, and the rest of his troops were hidden behind the scenes. This gave Sima Fu the illusion that Cao Jun only had so many people and his strength was limited, so Sima Fu Fu Ta only needed to gather his troops, and the small number of Cao's troops were unable to do anything to Sima Fu. Unexpectedly, this was an illusion intentionally revealed by Xia Houyuan.

Xia Houyuan discovered that Sima Jiafu's guards were protecting Sima Fu, which undoubtedly gave Xia Houyuan a direction.

He began to shout and attack Sima Fu.

Xia Houyuan's goal is Xingchen Da...er, Pingyang. What he was thinking about was to replicate Taishi Ci's achievements in Hedong, and even wanted to surpass Taishi Ci.

Mobilize, involve, pull, and surprise, use the fast to defeat the slow, use the more to defeat the few. This is what Xia Houyuan learned from Tai Shici's case and is doing now.

Most of the time, human beings live in the web of desire weaved by themselves. Whatever they want to capture is supported by what they can do. Sometimes there are indeed scenes of leapfrogging monsters, but most of them depend on the prey they want to capture and their own abilities. When there is a mismatch, it often ends badly. Obviously, Xia Houyuan is more suitable for the battlefield than Sima Fu.

Slash with swords, stab with spears, kill people, behead horses.

As the killing unfolded, Xia Houyuan's chest seemed to have a breath burning, anxious and hot.

Up to now, Xia Houyuan's plan can be said to be complete. He used his speed to trick Sima Fu and at the same time found Sima Fu's flaw.

He is like a cheetah, pursuing speed.

He can't kill a cow with one bite, but he can use his claws to bleed the cow, eventually making the cow weak and die. Xia Houyuan could not kill all the hussars in one go, he had to bleed them first.

The point of bloodletting was Sima Fu.

Xia Houyuan also wanted to use Sima Fu to draw more blood. That's right, his prey is the entire Hedong.

Xia Houyuan believed that when Fei sneaked out of Guanzhong, he must have taken away most of the cavalry troops. In the Hedong area, the cavalry troops were limited. Even if they were mobilized from other areas, it would take a certain amount of time, so if he If the limited cavalry troops in Hedong can be swallowed up at once, then Hedong will inevitably be weak for a period of time in the next time.

At that time, you can do whatever you want...

Is not it?
Xia Houyuan felt the hot blood on Ma Shan's body, and his heart was also burning.

This is his battlefield, his highlight.

Every bump on the horse seemed to shake Xia Houyuan's blood and speed up his heartbeat.

The smell of blood that was enough to make most people nauseated permeated the surrounding air, but it made Xia Houyuan even more crazy as if he were drinking wine!

"Kill! 』

Xia Houyuan roared loudly, the sound was like thunder.

Xia Houyuan rushed at the front, and his eyes reflected Sima Fu's somewhat panicked face.

Under the crossfire of swords and guns, the soldiers on both sides suddenly fell with blood spattered, and the ownerless horses fled in all directions, neighing and falling down.

Bloody fighting, knives, spears, blood, and mutilated limbs, one after another, the neighing of war horses, the shouts of soldiers, and screams mixed together, filling everyone's ears.

One person just killed his opponent, and then was killed by another opponent the next moment.

There was a sharp sound of breaking wind, and a spear stabbed from the front like a poisonous snake.

"Well done! 』

Xia Houyuan exhaled loudly, struck the spear with his backhand, leaned his body slightly to the left, and let go of the opponent's attack. Then, taking advantage of the moment when the two sides met, he kicked him off his horse with a fierce kick.

When cavalrymen from both sides clash, there is often only one battle, and either they are injured, dead, or even. Only those who can finish a long series of words and perform a whole set of ghosts and gods while on horseback are the only ones who can do it. Only in the game can it appear reasonably.

Xia Houyuan took his speed to the extreme, he preferred speed, he was good at speed.

And speed is a very important supporting point in the combat effectiveness of cavalry.

In comparison, Sima Fu could not help but feel a little weak in his calves when he saw Xia Houyuan fighting his way through the blood like a demon in a sea of ​​blood.

This was not the war that Sima Fu had imagined before. Although he already felt that he had adapted to the battlefield and was gloriously wounded...well, well, he was not so gloriously wounded. He should have become a qualified warrior and could bravely kill each other with the opponent's soldiers, but...

When Sima Fu saw Xia Houyuan, whatever was holding him up was broken.

It turns out that this is the real warrior, the real battlefield.

"Shoot him!" 』

Sima Fu pointed at Xia Houyuan, who was rushing towards him, and gave the order in a panic.

Then, Sima Fu lost his last resort to make a comeback...

According to the hussar cavalry drill, some archers and crossbowmen will be equipped around the commander-in-chief, in order to prevent the enemy from attacking the central army and to counterattack certain guys with high force.

This was originally Sima Fu's most powerful blow against Xia Houyuan's charge, but...

Whether it is a bow or crossbow, it has a certain range. The closer the distance, the more powerful it is. Like the current situation, if Sima Fu can hold back a little longer, persist a little longer, and wait until Xia Houyuan and others are closer before giving the shooting order, then the lethality against Xia Houyuan and others will naturally increase to a higher level.

Unfortunately, maybe it was because of Xia Houyuan's speed that Sima Fu had an illusion, or maybe because Sima Fu's heart was in chaos, Sima Fu issued the order ahead of schedule.

The arrows fired by the hussar soldiers in counterattack roared from the darkness in front. The five or six Cao soldiers and horses beside Xia Houyuan suddenly sprouted a few more branches. Some of them could still continue to fight. But some people screamed and fell off their horses.

"Watch out for arrows!" 』

Xia Houyuan shouted loudly and waved the horse spear in his hand away. The sound of crackling and collision seemed to be endless, and he didn't know how many arrows were bounced away for a while.

Then there is nothing.

Sima Fu's arrows and crossbows failed to shoot down Xia Houyuan.

It was like a knife struck with full force, a carefully crafted sharp blade, but it cut into the air.

Is it a problem with the knife?

No matter how good the sword is, it needs someone who can use it. No matter how strong the warrior is, he needs an equally strong leader.

Sheep and lions, no matter which feudal dynasty they are in, appear repeatedly. Just like at this moment, when seeing Xia Houyuan coming shouting, Sima Fu knew what he should do...

Perhaps he should try to delay it as much as possible and consume Cao Jun's troops.

Perhaps he should not retreat despite his injuries, but even if he eventually dies on the battlefield and is wrapped in horse leather, he will still die.

He probably should have done a lot of things. He should have even read a few more books, studied the art of war more, and sweated more on the training ground...

But at that moment, he did the last thing he should do.

He was scared, instinctively scared, just like he instinctively closed his eyes when blood was splashed on his face.

When Sima's guards fell in front of Xia Houyuan, and the remaining people began to shout anxiously for Sima Fu to escape quickly, Sima Fu fell silent, obeyed, lowered his head, and ran away...

He abandoned the other hussars who were still fighting.

He also abandoned his dream of becoming a civil and military commander on this battlefield.

What kind of leader determines the upper limit of the team.

Xia Houyuan's upper limit is higher than Sima Fu.

As soon as Sima Fu retreated, Cao's soldiers were overjoyed and immediately shouted that the enemy general had been defeated. Immediately, the morale of Sima Fu's men collapsed, and they could not help but retreat with Sima Fu.

Xia Houyuan drove his horse to kill Sima Fu, but he found that the farther he chased him, the farther away he was. When he looked down, he found that his horse was already spraying white foam from its mouth and nose, panting heavily, and Xia Houyuan was charging back and forth to kill him. Next time, your physical strength is almost exhausted.

"Huh..." Xia Houyuan glared at Sima Yijun in the distance and gritted his teeth.

If you have a lot of heart but not enough power, what can you do?

"General," the personal guard came to Xia Houyuan's side, wheezing but very excited, "This... we are not going to chase him anymore?" 』

Xia Houyuan rolled his eyes and glanced at the exhausted war horses under his bodyguards. After a moment of silence, he laughed loudly and said, "No more chasing!" Keeping him... such a general alive is a benefit to us... withdraw the troops! Focus on gathering your war horses! We need to add war horses! 』
