Sima Yi's eyes were like knives, with a slight chill, and he said in a deep voice: "Do we have any other choice now?" Summons the order to go down, cross the river immediately, and the delayer will be killed! ”

Sima Zhao also knew that now was not the time to look ahead and backwards, staying where they were, I am afraid that they would not even have any chance of survival, and crossing the river, even if there was little hope, but there was still a little hope, for the hope of this, they must now show the courage to fight.

As for what happens after crossing the river, it is to resign yourself to fate, take one step and see another step.

After the order was issued, Sima Jun was in an uproar, after all, there are only a few people in the army who are familiar with water and can swim, and most of them can't swim at all.

But the military order is like a mountain, and no one dares to disobey it in the slightest, even in this situation of defeat like a mountain, Sima Yi's order still has not lost its majesty.

What's more, Sima Yi's order this time comes with a no-forgiveness, that is to say, anyone who disobeys the order, whether he is a general leading the army or a small soldier in the battalion, dares to disobey the order, and will be immediately beheaded.

Sima Jun was all sad on his face, especially those soldiers who couldn't swim, their faces were full of despair, staying in place was death, jumping into the river was death, obeying orders was death, disobeying orders was also death, and there was no way to live in sight.

At this time, many Sima cavalry have jumped off their horses, according to the orders from above, after everyone dismounts, the first thing to do is to cut the throat of the horse, people can cross the river, but the horse can not cross the river, and the stay can only be used as a trophy for the state army, such an enemy behavior is obviously not what Sima Yi wants to see, so after dismounting, killing the horse has become the first priority.

Many of the horses fell in pools of blood, and some of them could not die if they were stabbed, and they kept neighing in pain, as if they could not understand why their masters, who were born and died with them, would kill them.

Many soldiers cried after killing the horses, for the riders, the war horse is their companion, together on the battlefield, together born and died, this feeling has obviously transcended the boundaries between humans and animals, but now they have to obey the order, to kill their own partners, this pain, is really irrepressible, so that this order is difficult to carry out.

Seeing this scene, Zhong made a suggestion, that is, there is no need to let the rider kill his own war horse himself, they can kill each other, soldier A kills soldier B's war horse, soldier B kills soldier C's war horse, and so on, anyway, they will not personally kill their own war horse, they may be able to reduce the psychological burden.

However, many riders were still heartbroken, and they pulled their horses into the water, and the horses were afraid of the water, and kept raising their hooves and neighing, refusing to go into the water.

Even if some horses entered the river, their hooves fluttered, and they could only barely swim a distance, but the Uma River was so wide that they could not hold on to the other side at all, and most of the horses sank to the center of the river and drowned, and then were swept away by the rapids, and none of them were spared.

The river on the shore was basically a mess, Sima Bing threw away his armor and jumped into the water shirtless, like dumplings, and the people on the river were full of voices and lively.

"Hurry up, hurry up, don't rub in, hurry up and get groundwater!" A stout captain beckoned his men to go into the river.

A thin soldier cried out in despair, "Captain, I don't know how to water!" ”

Wu Chang smiled bitterly and said: "I won't, but I won't have to jump inside, see, the state army is about to kill, and when the time comes, either the head will fall to the ground or be trampled into a ball of flesh, jump into the river, at least a whole corpse!" ”

Most of the Sima soldiers have this idea, horizontal and vertical is death, it is better to die in the river, at least to end up with a corpse. And the river doesn't look particularly wide, and if you are lucky enough to swim to the other side, you may be able to pick up a life.

Tens of thousands of people went down the river at the same time, and the scene was so spectacular, crowded with people, bustling, and crowded into a pot of porridge.

The water of the Wuma River is not too deep, but it has also passed the depth of the top, the main thing is that the river is relatively wide, and the water flow is relatively rapid, which is what makes Sima Bing really feel desperate, those who can swim, it doesn't matter, it takes a little time to always swim over, after all, the rivers in Bingzhou can't be compared with the big rivers in the south.

But those Sima soldiers who don't know how to water are miserable, after jumping into the water, they can only use their hands and feet at the same time, splashing blindly in the water, sinking down, and floating up again, choking on the water, many people see that they are sinking and disappearing, and there is no chance to emerge.

If you throw tens of thousands of stones into the water, you can pave a path, but the river is flowing, and many people will be washed away by the river after drowning, so that the downstream corpses are floating all over the river, and the water flow is sluggish.

Sima Yi chose this road, after all, it was a road of no return, and many Sima soldiers did not have the courage to go into the water at all, but under the coercion and coercion of the army, they also had to jump naked into the river.

It is not difficult for them to swim at all, they can swim as much as they want on the water, and they can swim as much as they want, and even lie on the surface of the water, they will not sink into the water.

But those who can't swim just can't swim, no matter how you flutter, you will inevitably sink, you will inevitably choke on water, your stomach will be filled with water, and you will sink faster and faster.

And the drowning person has a characteristic, that is, he catches whatever he sees, whether it is a person or an object, even if it is a straw, as long as he catches it, he will die and will not let go.

Many people who know how to water are sadly pulled by those who can't water, and they can't break free, and they sink to the bottom of the water together, never coming out again.

So for those drowning people who are desperately scratching and pulling, it is best to simply knock them out, so that those who know how to water still have a way to drag them ashore.

In the confusion, some people arrived on the other side first, and they shouted excitedly, which undoubtedly increased the confidence of those Sima soldiers who had not yet crossed the river, and more people rushed towards the Wuma River, scrambling to jump into the river, and the scene became more and more chaotic.

At this time, the cavalry of the Bingzhou army was already covering all the way, rushing towards the Wuma River, and the rumbling iron hooves crushed everything that stood in front of them.
