Chapter 421: Evacuate Yangping Pass
The strongest, the fastest update of the last Three Kingdoms 2: Xingwei latest chapter!
Fei Yi's evacuation completely confirmed the fact of the loss of Dingjun Mountain from the side, that is to say, Cao Liang's speculation is 100% correct, the current situation has reached the point where there is no delay, they must make a contingency, if they stay in Yangping Pass and are indifferent, the consequences may be quite serious.
Xiahou Ba looked at Cao Liang, to be honest, he really admired Cao Liang in his heart, he had no last resort, and he was like a god.
"Cao Changshi, so what should we do next?"
Cao Liang said: "Immediately abandon Yangping Pass, converge with the main force to the east, and then seek an opportunity to retreat to Xingshi Chisaka, and return to Guanzhong through Fu Luo Road." ”
Cao Liang quickly planned a road map for the withdrawal of the army, in fact, after the loss of Dingjun Mountain, the battle of Hanzhong was doomed to failure, the only difference was the question of how big the loss was, if the Wei army retreated in a timely and effective manner, the loss would inevitably be reduced to a minimum, but if the action was slow and delayed, it would inevitably suffer greater losses.
Xiahou Ba also understands that the current situation is no longer a question of victory and defeat, but from the depths of his heart, he is still unwilling to bear such a result, more than 20 years ago, his father was defeated and died in Hanzhong, this time he waved his army to Hanzhong, just to take revenge, but not only did he succeed in revenge, but he was defeated again, repeating the mistakes of the past, not to mention how uncomfortable Xiahou Ba's heart was.
"Isn't there any room for redemption?"
Cao Liang shook his head lightly and said: "Originally, this time our army's combat intention was to blockade the periphery, Xu Tu Hanle, but now the second city of Hanle has not been taken, the periphery blockade has not been successful, the troops are scattered, and there is no danger to be defended, how can this battle be fought?" If the retreat is timely, it may be able to keep most of the people safe, and if it is delayed, there is even a danger of annihilation. ”
Xiahou Ba sighed, and said in a calm voice: "Originally, the battle situation in Hanzhong was a great one, and the success was just around the corner, but I didn't expect Sima Zhao and Guo Huai to be embarrassed, abandon the Dingjun Mountain, and put such a good situation in vain, what a pity!" ”
Cao Liang said lightly: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, stay in the green mountains, are you afraid that there will be no firewood?" Although the defeat of Shu this time, the trend of the world is still unchanged, with the national strength of my Great Wei, and then accumulate for another one or two decades, there is no chance to destroy Shu. ”
Xiahou Ba sighed lightly and said, "Having said that, it is a pity that it has failed in such a good situation. ”
Immediately, they returned to the city of Yangping Pass, and Xiahou Ba immediately ordered the whole army to pack up immediately and evacuate Yangping Pass an hour later.
As soon as the order was given, everyone was in an uproar, because Xiahouba's order was extremely brief, the time was extremely urgent, and he did not explain any reason, which caused the generals and soldiers to speculate one after another, not knowing what happened.
After all, their mission to come to Yangping Pass this time was to defend the city, but the victory was not scored, but Xiahou Ba suddenly ordered a retreat and gave up Yangping Pass, which made countless Wei soldiers incomprehensible, could it be that their previous battle was fought in vain, and so many Wei army robes died in vain?
But no one dares to question Xiahouba's decision, soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, since Xiahouba has made such a decision, then they can only abide by it unconditionally.
Everyone speculated that Xiahouba's decision to withdraw the army might be related to Xiahouba's departure from the city this time, and after he left the city, he must have discovered something, otherwise he would not have ordered the withdrawal of the army so quickly.
However, Xiahou Ba did not seem to give any explanation to his subordinate soldiers, an order is an order, saying that the army will withdraw after an hour, then it will never stay for another moment, the military discipline of the Wei army is strict, if you dare to openly disobey the military order, it is a decisive decision, and there is no room for relaxation.
Therefore, the defenders of the entire Yangping Pass are nervously busy, and the time of an hour is not long, it is not short, and it will come in a moment, so the Wei soldiers must hurry up and not delay too much.
Cao Liang returned to the Yuecai camp, summoned Deng Ai and Shi Bao, concisely explained the current situation, and asked them to immediately clean up and prepare to withdraw from Yang'an Pass with Xiahouba's army.
After taking Yangping Pass, the Yue cavalry battalion only participated in the battle of defending the city on the first day, and Jiang Wei's army was inseparable, and it was a miracle that it blocked the attack of tens of thousands of people with only a few hundred people.
Then Xiahouba's 30,000 reinforcements arrived here, and the Yue cavalry battalion all withdrew and no longer participated in the defense of the city.
As a cavalry, the most advantage is still in the plain field battle, defending the city, this kind of thing, is not the strength of the Yue cavalry battalion, even if it is the usual daily training, it does not involve this piece, so the Yue cavalry camp to defend the city, is completely to catch the duck on the shelf.
However, the Yue Cavalry Battalion still completed the task of defending the city excellently, and did not let Jiang Wei's army take a step beyond Lei Chi, which can be regarded as a success.
However, at this moment, they suddenly received the order to withdraw the army, which really made Shi Bao and Deng Ai a little stunned, this Yangping Pass was fought down by them with great difficulty, and then handed it over to the Shu people, they were really unwilling in their hearts.
But the current situation is pressing, they can't be allowed to sigh here, no matter how good Yangping Pass is, it is not the place of Huangliang, not to mention, now that the Shu army is smuggled into Hanzhong from the Ding army, the defense line of Yangping Pass has lost its value.
An hour's packing time is more than enough for the infantry, but for the cavalry, it is very hasty, because in addition to the people, there are also war horses to deal with, and the cavalry camp is busy in the dark.
However, an order is an order, and there is no room for the slightest discount, and whether it is the Vietnamese cavalry battalion or other battalions, it must be carried out unconditionally.
An hour passed in a flash, and the Yue cavalry battalion had completed the final hour, and the whole army stepped on their horses in unison, waiting for the order to set off.
Xiahouba's army over there also completed the hour, although the people below were a little puzzled by Xiahouba's order, but the execution of the order was still quite smooth, and it was cleaned up one by one.
Xiahouba asked Cao Liang if he needed to set fire to the pass, after all, such a passover city was handed over to people in vain, and Xiahouba was really unwilling in his heart.
Cao Liang shook his head, and did not agree with Xiahou Ba's plan, setting fire to the pass is just to make his heart a little more balanced, but in fact, it is useless, if the Wei army is lucky enough to evacuate Hanzhong this time, it will be more than twenty years later to cut down Shu again, even if it is reduced to a pile of ruins, the Shu people are fully capable of rebuilding him again.
Cao Liang was not prepared to do such a thankless business, and Xiahouba also agreed with Cao Liang's decision and led the army to leave Yangping Pass.
