Chapter 423: The situation is pressing again

General, a live one was found here. "Some soldiers reported to Xiahou Bayu.

Xiahou Ba and Cao Liang immediately rushed over, this living Shu soldier was probably a military marquis, he was found in a pile of dead people, but even if he was alive, it was almost like dead, he had a cut on his stomach, blood was gurgling, and even his intestines were exposed.

Cao Liang immediately ordered to summon military doctors to come over, and each battalion of the Wei army was equipped with military doctors and craftsmen, who were responsible for treating wounded soldiers, but due to the limited conditions, the scope of treatment of these doctors and craftsmen was also extremely limited.

Originally, the military medic of the Yue Cavalry Battalion followed behind them, trying to find the wounded from the pile of dead to heal, but so far, no survivor has been found, and after hearing Cao Liang's order, a military medic came over in a hurry to bandage and treat the marquis.

"How's it going, can it be saved?" Cao Liang asked.

The military medic shook his head lightly and said, "I tried my best, but he lost too much blood and couldn't hold out for long......

Cao Liang did not blame the military doctor, the mortality rate on the battlefield in this era is quite high, as long as it hurts the vital organs or hurts the major arteries, it is basically certain death, which is also the result of the limitation of medical level.

I don't know if it was the return of light or the bandaging of the military doctor that played a certain role, the military marquis slowly opened his eyes, but his pupils were dilated, his gaze was dilated, and his face was as if he was dead.

Cao Liang squatted down and asked, "Tell me, what's going on here?" ”

The marquis muttered, "It's over...... It's all over ......."

Cao Liang waited for a detailed inquiry, and the military marquis tilted his head, and he was already dead of anger.

Cao Liang secretly screamed a pity, thinking that if he found a living mouth, he could learn some useful information, but a dying person really couldn't provide him with any valuable information.

At this time, Yanghu suddenly shouted loudly on the side: "Brother-in-lawβ€”"

Cao Liang immediately turned around and said, "What did my uncle find?" ”

Yanghu pointed to the corpse of a general wearing armor on the ground and said: "I know this captain, his name is Zhou Yue, it is the army he commanded, and I walked with him when I left the Seoul camp. He was ordered to go to the area of Luoyang to search for grain and grass supplies, but he didn't expect to die here in the end. ”

After the Wei army entered Hanzhong, it was thought that it could be eaten by the enemy, but the Shu army was strong and clear, which made the situation of the Wei army difficult, with the elongation of the battle line, the already unsustainable supply of grain and grass made it worse, Xiahou Xuan had to send troops and horses to gather around or loot grain and grass materials, in addition to Zhou Yue's troops, he also sent several people and horses.

Although it is said that sending troops out to loot has alleviated the dilemma caused by the shortage of grain and grass in the Wei army to a certain extent, the dispersion of troops has already committed a taboo in the soldiers, giving the Shu army a chance to break through, and the whole army of Zhou Yue was completely annihilated on the north bank of the Han River, which is a bloody lesson.

Although the Wei army claimed to have 150,000 troops, due to the long and difficult grain route, the troops carrying grain and transporting grain alone already accounted for about 20% of the total strength, so the real entry into the Hanzhong Plain was only 1230,000 horses, excluding the part that had been killed and non-combat attrition, the real fighting force was only more than 100,000 people.

Yangping Guan Xiahou Ba alone brought 30,000 horses, this time sent Sima Zhao to Dingjun Mountain, and sent 25,000 people, the rest of the army to garrison Xingshi, this is where the retreat of the Shu army is, there is no room for loss, but also to besiege the two cities of Hanle, plus thousands of men and horses sent out on each road, now the entire Wei army has long been fragmented, scattered badly.

Xiahou Xuan is also familiar with the book of soldiers and knows the harm of dividing troops, but in the situation of Hanzhong, nothing can be done without dividing the troops.

Of course, before the reinforcements of the Shu army entered the Hanzhong Plain, there was nothing wrong with dividing the troops, on the contrary, the Wei army divided the troops and performed their duties, which was conducive to controlling the overall situation of Hanzhong.

However, after the loss of Dingjun Mountain, the dispersion of the Wei army became a disaster, and the Shu army could easily concentrate its forces and defeat the scattered Wei army.

The army led by Zhou Yue was completely annihilated, this is only what Cao Liang saw, what he didn't see or what was about to happen, if the Wei army could not complete the assembly as soon as possible, it was likely to be eaten away by the Shu army step by step.

Cao Liang stood up, mourned in silence for a few breaths at this corpse, and said to Xiahou: "Xiahou Protector, we must rush to Seoul as soon as possible, and there will be changes later." ”

Xiahou Ba nodded heavily, the seriousness of the situation has exceeded his expectations, if it is delayed any longer, the situation will become more and more difficult, after Xiahou Ba got on the horse, he immediately ordered the army to continue to advance along the north bank of the Han River, in the direction of Hancheng.

With so many corpses in the wilderness, it's not that Cao Liang and Xiahou Ba don't want to cover up and deal with them, but it takes too long to bury the corpses, and now the more time the Shu army wastes, there will be more risks, so even if Cao Liang is uneasy, he can only go on the road quickly and decisively, and let these corpses continue to be violently corpses.

The urgency of the situation made Cao Liang not dare to delay any time casually, and they had to rush to Seoul as soon as possible to gather with the Wei army's brigade.

But when you get to Seoul, is everything all right? Cao Liang was not sure at all, and even said that maybe when he arrived in Seoul, the situation would become, Cao Liang was completely ignorant.

The current Cao Liang is like crossing the river by feeling the stones, his eyes are blind, and the troops are advancing at full speed, and the scouts sent out can only investigate the range of five to ten miles, and no matter how far the distance is, it is completely beyond the reach of the whip.

Judging from the current situation, Cao Liang is extremely unoptimistic, and he even suspects that he has been targeted by the Shu army all the way, but they are not as small as Zhou Yue's goal, and they say that they will eat it in one bite.

However, Cao Liang felt that the Shu army would never give up easily, it was likely that they were digging a pit not far ahead, waiting for themselves to jump inside, and now the more they went forward, the more dangerous it would be, and there was always the possibility of being surrounded by the Shu army.

However, after leaving Yangping Pass, they are destined to have no way back, they can only keep moving forward!
