Chapter 279: Saving People Matters

Zhuge Ke, who was watching the battle from the top of the mountain, saw this scene, his face turned green, in order to prepare for this ambush, Zhuge Ke had been working hard in the wind and rain for three days and three nights, and when he thought he couldn't survive, the target was suddenly automatically sent into the ambush circle.

This almost made Zhuge Ke ecstatic, and he really thought that his father's heroic spirit was blessing him in the heavens, so that he could fulfill his wish.

But it turned out to be ......

This kind of divine turn is so that people want to die, and Zhuge Ke wants to cry without tears.

I thought that 8,000 Danyang soldiers could build a solid defense line for the Wu army to resist the impact of the Wei cavalry, even if it couldn't be prevented, it should be no problem to support it for at least one or two hours.

But the fact is that the defense line built by the 8,000 Danyang soldiers was as fragile as paper paste, and the Wei cavalry only launched an attack to scatter and tear the Wu army's spear array apart.

The collapse of the defense line means that this ambush by the Wu army has completely failed, and Zhuge Ke's carefully designed plan has also gone bankrupt.

So Zhuge Ke ordered the Wu army to retreat, but when retreating, those grains and grasses could not be discarded in vain, and what should be taken should still be taken, after all, the Wu army was not rich in the supply of grain and grass, and the landlord's family had no surplus grain!

Of course, it is impossible for the Wu army to take away all the grain wagons with so many grain trucks, and Zhuge Ke ordered that all the grain and grass that could not be taken away be burned, and the Wei army must not be left with a grain and a handful of grass.

In this ambush war, Zhuge Ke originally had two purposes, the primary purpose was definitely to kill Cao Liang and avenge the killing of his father, and the secondary purpose was to rob the Wei army's grain and grass and force Sima Yi to withdraw because of the food shortage.

The first purpose was obviously frustrated, watching the Wei cavalry break through the defense line of the Wu army and the besieged Wei army, Zhuge Ke knew that he really had no hope of revenge.

But if the watermelon is lost, the sesame seeds can't be without, if the Wei army is allowed to recover these grains and grasses, it will be a complete failure for Zhuge Ke.

The Wu army began to retreat, lighting fires everywhere while retreating, burning the grain carts that could not be taken away, obviously they were very afraid of the Wei cavalry, and they were very hasty when they retreated, for fear that the Wei cavalry would suddenly rush over and harvest their lives.

However, it seems that the purpose of the cavalry battalion is only to save people, and it does not pay much attention to the Wu army's burning of grain wagons, in fact, because most of the grain wagons have penetrated deep into the mouth of Wuqiang, the mountain roads are narrow and rugged, and the grain wagons themselves are stacked horizontally and vertically, under such conditions, it is not conducive to cavalry combat.

Therefore, the Xiaocai battalion only rescued the besieged Ren Lan Cao Liang and the battalions of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and ignored the Wu army's actions of looting and burning grain.

The entire Wuqiangkou Valley is full of fireworks and a mess.

Ren Ran was heartbroken when he saw this, and shouted: "Go and put out the fire, don't let the Wu people burn all the grain and grass!" ”

Cao Liang is a careless look, compared to the loss of grain and grass, he cares more about the casualties, now the large army of the southern army and the cavalry battalion are converged, but there are still some troops that have not broken through, they are still fighting stubbornly, fighting to the death with the Wu army besieging them.

Fortunately, the Wu army does not have much will to fight now, and most of the Wu army is already retreating, which is also the reason why these small groups of Wei troops survived, otherwise the Wu army will be besieging with all their might, and their squads of dozens of people will have almost no chance of survival.

Cao Liang ordered to save people first, as long as there was still the Wei army surrounded, no matter the size, they would rush to the rescue, even if there was only one alive left, they could not give up.

As for the grain and grass, it will be easy to get started, if there is a condition, go and put out the fire, how much can be grabbed, anyway, saving people and food, saving people is the first place.

In Cao Liang's view, talent is the most important, the grain and grass are gone, and they can be transported again, and the people are gone, that is, they are really gone, this battle, the southern army also suffered a lot of losses, if it were not for the timely rescue of the Xiao cavalry battalion, it is likely that the loss will be greater than the battle of Anfeng.

After all the bloody battles, the casualties of the Zhengnan army reached more than sixty percent, and more than half of these soldiers who left Luoyang City side by side at that time have been sleeping on this land in Huainan and can never return to their hometown.

Accustomed to seeing too many partings of life and death, Cao Liang couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, war is always so cruel, whether you want it or not, it will take away one fresh life after another.

Cao Liang is now fighting against death, and with a little more effort on his side, he may be able to save one more life from the hands of death.

Yanghu and Du Yu returned to Cao Liang's side, both of them were covered with blood, their clothes and armor were torn, and their faces were full of fatigue, obviously they did their best.

Yang Hu grinned and said, "Brother-in-law, I didn't disappoint you this time, did I?" ”

Cao Liang was greatly moved, although it is said that Yanghu and Du Pre are both a generation of famous generals, but they both belong to the kind of Confucian generals who are strategizing, when have they ever charged into battle, but they did not expect to follow him to fight this time, but they were on the battlefield in person, bloody battles, it was really difficult for them.

Cao Liang patted them on the shoulder and said, "You have made a great contribution this time, I will definitely ask for credit for you when I go back, go down to rest first, take care of your body." ”

This time, Yanghu and Du Pre fought very tenaciously, and launched a bloody battle with the Wu army several times their size, successfully blocked the attack of the Wu army, and created an opportunity for Cao Liang's side of the army to break through.

Shi Bao and Deng Ai were ordered by Cao Liang to rescue the trapped Wei soldiers on the battlefield, and where they could reach on horseback, they led their troops to kill them as soon as possible, scattered the Wu army, and rescued the surrounded Wei army.

There are many places that cannot be reached by horseback, Shi Bao and Deng Ai do not give up, they abandon their horses on foot, climb the mountain, as long as they find the traces of Wei soldiers in Wuqiangkou, no matter how far away, they will rush over and rescue them.

As for the grain truck, Shi Bao and Deng Ai were naturally flawless, and could only hand it over to the Wei soldiers who arrived later.

Fortunately, it had just rained, and the climate in the valley was humid, and the Wu army burned in a hurry when they retreated, and the fire on many grain trucks was only half burned, and it was extinguished by the Wei soldiers who came from behind, and some grain could be snatched back.

As for the hay that fed the horses, it could not be saved, and was burned by the fire.

The Wu army retreated quickly, while the Wei army was busy saving people and fighting fires, and they also pursued flawlessly, and the battle without a strong mouth soon came to an end.
