Chapter 439: Despair

Although the battle of the watershed was more than 200 miles away, it still affected the hearts of everyone in the camp of the Chisaka Wei army, and it could be seen from the haze on the faces of these people that the battle at the watershed was not smooth.

Xiahouba attacked the watershed for many days without success, and the war fell into a stalemate, and the grain road could not be dredged for a long time, and the situation has become worse and worse.

The expenditure of hundreds of thousands of troops, that is definitely a huge amount, although Cao Shuang has ordered to take measures to limit food, reducing the food ration of the various units of the Wei army, but this is obviously a palliative but not a cure, this method can be delayed for a few days at most, if the Wei army still can't find a way to restore the supply of grain and grass, then these hundreds of thousands of people will be trapped and starved to death here.

The lack of food has caused the uneasiness of the Wei army, and the entire Wei army camp is now floating in the hearts of the people, rumors are flying, everyone is panicked, pessimism and despair are spreading in the barracks, and the morale of the army is also low to the extreme.

Although Cao Shuang sent people to the battalions to cheer up the Wei soldiers, and repeatedly reiterated that the Wei army would definitely open up the grain route to ensure the supply of military rations, the actual effect was that the actual effect was very little, and the sluggish morale was slumped.

Cao Shuang is also very helpless, the loss of Fu Luo Road will inevitably cause such a consequence, the army will be chaotic if there is no food, it is not false at all, and Xiahou Ba's delay in overcoming the watershed also makes this situation worse, if the situation continues to be worse, the possibility of the complete collapse of the Wei army cannot be ruled out.

At this time, Cao Shuang was also remorseful, he knew that this was the case, it was better to decisively withdraw his troops from Guanzhong when he withdrew from the Hanzhong Plain, at least he could protect a corpse.

It was because of the hesitation at that time that the current dilemma was caused, Cao Shuang is afraid that even his intestines are repentant at this moment, he really knew why he was in the first place!

Xiahou Xuan is also helpless, and now the Wei army has no other way to retreat, and the only way is to fight a bloody way from the watershed.

Xiahou Xuan proposed that Cao Shuang give Xiahouba more troops, and asked him to win the watershed at all costs.

It's a pity that Fu Luodao is narrow and difficult to do, even if the Wei army sends more troops, it can't be deployed, and Jiang Wei is a wise general, who does not leak in defense and does not give Xiahouba any opportunity to take advantage of.

Jiang Wei knew that the watershed was the throat of the Wei army, as long as he stuck this throat, the 100,000 Wei army would have no chance to turn over, and as the army food ran out day by day, the total collapse of the Wei army was just around the corner.

So Jiang Wei is not in a hurry at all, he doesn't even have to do anything else, as long as he firmly guards the watershed, he can make a shocking achievement.

Annihilation of more than 100,000 Wei troops, that is the heyday of Shu did not dare to hope for the record, and now this victory will be completely within reach, after this battle, the confrontation between Wei and Shu will undergo earth-shaking changes, Zhuge Liang has been looking forward to the opportunity of his life, will also come quietly inadvertently.

The news reached Lecheng, and the Shu army camp was also full of joy.

Fei Yi was a little unexpected, originally he was not very optimistic about Jiang Wei's plan, but he didn't expect Jiang Wei to really succeed, fighting snakes and hitting seven inches, and Jiang Wei was on top of the seven inches of the Wei army, and now more than 100,000 Wei troops are in a desperate situation because the grain road has been cut off.

Taking advantage of your illness and wanting your life, Fei Yi changed his previous conservative tactics and decided to launch an all-out attack on the Wei army remaining in Chisaka and Xingshi.

Fei Yi took Wang Ping as the vanguard, mobilized 50,000 troops to take Chisaka directly, and at the same time sent Liu Min to lead 10,000 troops to attack Xingshi and contain the Wei army stationed in Xingshi Mountain.

As the saying goes, those who fell there got up there, Wang Ping was quite active in attacking Akasaka, and he felt a bit of a revenge battle.

That's right, Xingshi Mountain was lost in the hands of Wang Ping, which undoubtedly made Wang Ping angry, this time he waved his army eastward, and then fought Akasaka Xingshi, Wang Ping was very excited, as a soldier, he naturally had a great desire for victory, especially in front of the once defeated position, this will be a battle to save face, Wang Ping naturally spared no effort.

Originally, the Wei army's Chisaka Xingshi defense line was known as impregnable, but after Xiahouba transferred half of his troops, there were some omissions in the defense system.

Of course, this is not the main reason, relying on the dangerous terrain of Chisaka and Xingshi, the Wei army can organize an effective defense and be completely invincible.

However, the sluggish morale of the Wei army seriously affected the combat effectiveness, and in the face of the surging offensive of the Shu army, the Wei army had no intention of fighting, and the defense line was soon lost.

The Shu army is as imposing as a rainbow, and under the leadership of Wang Ping, it is like a hurricane rushing forward, and it is wantonly covering up.

The Wei army fell into chaos, with no generals, no generals, and no soldiers, and the soldiers were defeated like a mountain.

Although Cao Shuang is familiar with military books and has a bit of Cao Zhen's legacy, he has never experienced a battle, and he can fight a good battle, and now such a chaotic situation is really not something he can clean up.

As for Ding Mi, Deng Yang, Li Shengzhi and others, don't look at the usual high-minded and arrogant, arrogant, and a person who looks like a dog, but at this critical time, one by one has become six gods and no master, Zhang Huang is at a loss, not to mention giving Cao Shuang an idea, but even a complete sentence is not good.

"General, general, retreat quickly, the Shu army is less than three miles away from here, and it will be too late if you don't leave." Yang Wei, who joined the army, hurried over and said to Cao Shuang, who was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

After Cao Shuang heard the news, he was even more flustered, and even his hands trembled, and said to Yang Wei: "Yang joins the army, we should ...... Where do we go from here? ”

Yang Wei is also a little entangled, this chaotic army is full of soldiers, and it is really a difficult thing to escape without being intercepted and killed by the Shu army, and he is not sure which road will be safer.

"To...... Let's go east. Yang Wei pointed in the direction of the east, no matter what, the farther away from the Shu army should be the safest.

Cao Shuang really didn't have an idea at this time, since Yang Wei said that it was going east, let's go east, so they quickly escaped from the camp and went east.

Most of the soldiers and horses of the Wei army have been dispersed by the Shu army, and at this time, the guards who stayed by Cao Shuang's side only had some Cao Shuang's personal soldiers, only about a few hundred people.

At this time, the battlefield has completely fallen into chaos, Wang Ping is more and more brave, personally led the vanguard team to rush to the front line, he saw Cao Shuang's team from a distance, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, immediately rushed over, shouted: "Cao Shuang is leaving!" ”

Cao Shuang was so frightened that his soul flew away, and exclaimed: "My life is at rest." ”
