Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 494: First in Infantry Combat! (Thanks to brother Yu Wushengchu for another three monthly tickets~)
Upon hearing this news, the soldiers became even happier.

Wei Yan even praised directly:

"You are worthy of being called a ghost strategist, and you really keep your word.

“But speaking of it, this Eight Stone Soldiers Formation is really powerful.

"It turns out that they can block tens of thousands of enemy troops by just relying on the formation formed by large stones!
“When our lord faced this formation, if he had not used gunpowder jars to forcibly destroy the stone formation, it would have been difficult for him to pass through.

"And Xu Huang and his men have never mastered this technique, so naturally they can't break the formation."

When everyone heard this good news, their morale was greatly boosted.

However, just as the soldier who had just reported the news left, another soldier hurried in and knelt on one knee in front of Wei Yan:

"Report to the General! Our scouts in Beidi and Anding counties have reported back.

"It is said that General Zhang Xiu of Beidi County and Commandant Dian Wei of Anding County will each lead 10,000 elite soldiers to support Wuwei County!"

The smiles on everyone's faces disappeared instantly!
This is the advantage of the defender. Not only does he have the advantage of the city, but he can also mobilize troops faster than the attacker.

However, Wei Yan quickly calmed down and said to everyone:
“These two teams have come from far away, we can each lead an army to contain them.

"Which general is willing to lead the army to meet the enemy?"

Wen Pin, who had just spoken, stood up immediately:
"The general will go where he wishes!"

At this time, Lieutenant General Lü Meng and Lieutenant General Gan Ning also stood up:
"The general is also willing to go!"

Wei Yan looked at the three of them and nodded immediately:
"Okay, General Wen, who is good at defensive warfare, will lead 8,000 men to resist Zhang Xiu's army.

“General Lu and General Gan jointly led 8,000 men to resist Dian Wei’s army.

"If I remember correctly, the Lord once said:

"When it comes to fighting on horseback, Lü Fengxian is the best in the world, but when it comes to fighting on foot, it's this guy called Dian Wei who is the best in the world!

“I didn’t expect this guy to be recruited by the imperial court.

“When you two go to fight, you must be extremely careful.

"The one who can receive such an evaluation from the lord is definitely not an ordinary person!"

Lu Meng and Gan Ning left immediately.

Afterwards, Wen Pin and Lu Meng each led 8,000 people out of the camp.

As a result, only 44,000 people were left out of the original 60,000 troops.

But even so, for Wei Yan, these more than 40,000 troops were enough to capture Guzang City.

The crowd did not discuss too many plans. At this moment, after the avalanche, the morale of Zhu Jun's army must be very low.

There won't be much suspense if you want to conquer them.

So Wei Yan ordered the soldiers to rest for half a day and set out for Guzang County early tomorrow morning!
the other side.

Wen Pin led an army of 8,000 and came directly to Hanwu Road on the eastern border of Wuwei County.

As the iron wall of Jiangxia in history, even though the history of this life has changed greatly, Wen Pin is still good at defensive battles.

Hanwu Road is the main road from Beidi County to Wuwei County.

According to what Wen Pin had learned, the 10,000 troops led by Zhang Xiu were all cavalry from Liang Province.

To deal with cavalry, as long as we limit the speed of their horses, the cavalry's advantages will be difficult to play out.

Therefore, after Wen Pin arrived at Hanwu Road, he immediately set up camp on the road.

At the same time, many traps were dug in front of and on both sides of the camp, antlers were built, mines were buried, and countless caltrops were sprinkled on the road.

This makes the entire camp and all the important roads as solid as a rock!
When the northern hero Zhang Xiu arrived here with 10,000 cavalrymen, his face instantly darkened when he saw the extremely complete fortifications.

He did not expect the enemy to react so quickly. Faced with this situation, Zhang Xiu could only retreat ten miles and set up camp, while ordering his men to secretly look for a small path to see if they could bypass the enemy camp.

At the same time, Lu Meng and Gan Ning also led 8,000 infantry and cavalry to the vicinity of Qilian Mountains.

Because Anding County is much closer to Wuwei County than Beidi County.

So the two armies collided directly!
Lu Meng's army did not have the opportunity to build any fortifications.

However, the two of them were not at all weak. Under Gan Ning's command, their army went straight into battle with Dian Wei's army.

Lu Meng and Gan Ning also had a clear division of labor. The former was responsible for commanding the army, while the latter went directly to challenge Dian Wei in a duel.

As long as Dian Wei can be restrained and prevented from slaughtering his own soldiers and subordinates, there will be no obvious gap in military strength between the two sides.

Moreover, Gan Ning also wanted to know whether the so-called best infantry fighter in the world was just a title!

At this moment, Dian Wei looked at the enemy general rushing towards him with a slightly dazed expression.

He originally served under Cao Cao, but he never expected that his master would abandon him.

However, after being reminded by other scholars, he realized that the reason Cao Cao did not take him with him was for his own good.

Otherwise, if he and Cao Cao were caught together, he would most likely be executed together with the other.

Staying in Jizhou is actually the safest option.

However, Dian Wei's loyalty to Cao Cao was extremely high.

After learning the news, he chose to leave without hesitation, and also planned to go around Liu Xie's territory to Lu Bu's territory.

However, he never expected that because he was too big, he was captured by the soldiers guarding the pass and transferred to the court.

When the Emperor learned that he was Dian Wei, he went out of the city in person to greet him and showed great importance to him.

Dian Wei was deeply moved by this and agreed to serve the court.

But the prerequisite is that once he gets news about Cao Cao, he will immediately go to find him.

So one of the reasons why Liu Xie wanted to kill Cao Cao at that time was to keep Dian Wei by his side forever.

But no one expected that Cao Cao would eventually choose to hide his identity and retire to the countryside.

Dian Wei had no news of Cao Cao, so he had no choice but to stay in the court and continue serving.

Seeing the enemy general getting closer, Dian Wei, who was also riding a horse, suddenly fixed his eyes.

A captivating murderous aura startled Gan Ning so much that he suddenly slowed down!
In just a split second, Dian Wei approached Gan Ning with a short spear in one hand!
Gan Ning looked at the short spear in the opponent's hand. As he also used a spear, he felt a silent provocation.

He immediately dropped the spear in his hand, pulled out a short spear from his back, and headed straight for the short spear swung by the opponent!
Ding--!
At the moment when the two halberds collided, a force as strong as a mountain came suddenly, causing Gan Ning's palm to go numb!

Gan Ning was secretly shocked!

In the eyes of my lord, I am a top general!

He also believes that he is one of the best in the world.

However, when he confronted the fat general in front of him head-on, he did not gain any advantage and was even suppressed by the opponent!

Only then did he realize that what his lord said was true!

This Dian Wei might really be the best in infantry combat!
However, being the best in infantry combat does not mean that the opponent is also good in cavalry combat!

He is an expert in archery and horse riding, so he may not lose in a horse-riding battle!

Thinking of this, Gan Ning immediately put away his halberd and turned sideways.

At the moment when the two horses crossed each other, he suddenly pulled out another short spear from his back with his left hand and chopped straight at Dian Wei's back!
