Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Page 489

When he saw a corner of a certain camp looming on the other side of the city, Massagai sighed with some regret.

In fact, Massagay actually had some small scheming in yesterday's withdrawal from the siege.

If all Zhao's reinforcements really entered the city, then Massagai could immediately surround the city.

In this way, Zhao Guo's cavalry could only sit trapped in the city and completely lost their use.

Even at the extreme end, Massagai can completely surround the city without siege.

This city is so small, it doesn't take much thinking to know that there is not much food in store, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians eat horse chews, and they can't last for many days at all.

It's a pity that Zhao Guo's general is obviously not a fool, so he was not fooled by Massagai.

A general of the Yue clan rode his horse and stood beside Masagai, his face was covered with sackcloth and only two eyes were exposed, which looked like the masked bandit.

"Xihou, do you think those Zhao Guo reinforcements will choose to fight us head-on?"

Massagay couldn't help laughing, as if he had heard some of the funniest jokes in the world.

After a long while, Ma Saigai restrained his laughter and said slowly: "The Zhao people only have [-] cavalry, how could they dare to fight us head-on? But this Zhao cavalry is now camping outside the city. It's not easy to deal with each other's horns to take care of each other."

Just when Massagai felt a little embarrassed by this, something completely unexpected happened to him.

Accompanied by the sound of beating drums from far away, groups of Zhao Jun cavalry rushed out of the camp in an extremely neat manner, and then assembled in front of Zhao Jun's camp.

Massage's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he saw.

"These Zhao people don't really want to have a head-to-head confrontation with Ben Xihou, do they?"

This unbelievable feeling was so strong that Massagay still couldn't believe it when the two sides had really lined up face to face for half an hour.

Suddenly, Massagai jumped up as if being pricked by a needle, and shouted: "Where do these Zhao people get the confidence to confront us head-on?"

No one can answer what Massagai said.

What happened next made Massague feel even more ridiculous.

Right in front of Massagai, the people of Zhao State swaggered and separated out a cavalry, and left Zhao State's central army formation, and came to the Zhao army's flank.

This is an invitation to fight.

What's the situation, the Zhao people on the opposite side obviously don't have the upper hand, but now they dare to take the initiative to divide their troops and invite them to fight?

Massage narrowed his eyes, watching the Zhao cavalry in front of him.

This is a very strange Zhao cavalry. They are covered with armor, even the horses under their crotch. They look majestic and imposing.

There were clicks of admiration and surprise coming from Masagay's side one after another, and there were many discussions.

"This, is this the legendary Zhao Kingdom's very capable cavalry?"

"It looks like it's really good at fighting!"

"It's just that the number of people is a bit small, it seems that there are only 1000 people."

"We have 2 people, what's the use of fighting with 1000 people?"

"Not necessarily, I always feel that this Zhao Guo cavalry is weird!"

Massage finally couldn't listen anymore, snorted coldly, and said, "Eight misses!"

The masked Yuezhi general responded immediately: "Xihou, Basili is here!"

Ma Sagai said: "Ben Xihou gave you three thousand cavalry, you go and defeat this damned Zhao cavalry, is there any problem?"

Hearing the words, Ba Shili raised his head and glanced at the Zhao army that was slowly moving to the flank not far away, and then a smile appeared in his eyes: "Master Xihou, it's absolutely fine!"

Three thousand against one thousand, the advantage is huge, how can we lose?

Even if the enemy is really weird, Basili also feels that he will definitely win!

A quarter of an hour later, [-] cavalrymen followed Bashili and also came to the flank, and confronted the Zhao Guo cavalry not far in front of them at a distance of about three miles.

Don't think that Ba Shili is very well-behaved in front of the chief general Massagai, in fact, it is because Bashili is Massagai's confidant, and he has to act like that in front of Massagai in order to charm him.

This Bashili is actually a very arrogant and domineering person, and immediately after leading the army alone at this moment, he immediately returned to his daily domineering appearance.

The commander of Qianqi, who was following behind Basili, asked, "Basili, should we divide our troops and encircle them, and then eat this Zhao people's cavalry unit?"

Ba Shili turned his head and glared fiercely at the talking Qianqichang: "I want to call you General Ba Shili, idiot!"

"Yes, General Basili. What should we do now?"

Ba Shili opened his mouth and smiled, and the cloth covered in front of him swayed slightly with the trembling of his lips: "Of course we divide the troops to encircle them, and then eat this Zhao people's cavalry unit!"

Another thousand cavalry commander said: "General Basili, I think this Zhao cavalry does not look right, be careful!"

Ba Shili laughed loudly: "Why, this general has experienced hundreds of battles, and you want to teach this general how to fight? Hurry up and carry out this general's order!"

The three thousand cavalry commanders had no choice but to obey.

Basili had already thought about it in his heart. After the victory in this battle, he must strip off the armor of these Zhao soldiers from their bodies and get a few sets to display at home.

It's so bright, it's really beautiful.

As the chief general of Zhao's cavalry this time, it is of course impossible for Li Mu to personally lead the armored cavalry charge.

Beside Li Mu, the captain of his personal guard whispered, "General, can this General Zhao Kuo really complete the mission?"

There was a slight smile in Li Mu's eyes: "If he has a thousand armored cavalry, he can't take down three thousand Yuezhi people, how can he have such a reputation today? Don't worry. "

On the other side of the Yuezhi formation, there was actually a general Yuezhi who raised questions.

"Xihou, this person in Bashili has never been cautious enough in doing things, should someone else be the vanguard?"

To say it was not cautious enough is to criticize the arrogance of these eight mistakes.

When Massagai heard this, he was very upset, and he turned his head and glared fiercely at General Yuezhi who had said that.

"What nonsense are you talking about? This person in Bashili has been with Ben Xihou for many years, and Ben Xihou still doesn't know? In this battle, the Zhao people will definitely lose!"

Ma Sagai raised his hand, pointed at the armored cavalry several miles away in front of him, and said with a sneer: "These Zhao people are so armored, how can they shoot arrows flexibly? At that time, they only need to shoot randomly to kill them all. There is nothing to worry about!"

After a pause, Massagai smiled again: "The armor on them is made of unknown material, but it looks quite majestic. I will let Bashili get a complete set, preferably the commander. It must be very majestic if you come and lead it!"

In Massagai's confident tone, the two Yueshi cavalry had already started to drive out of the formation under the order of the Yueshi forward general Basili, and headed towards the Zhao army in front of them from the left and right directions. The cavalry outflanked and went away.
