Chapter 333: There is no way back
Sima Yi didn't speak, he was just an overseer, and when the main general was alive, it was not his turn to interfere with the command.
Cao Zhen was also unwilling to take the responsibility of taking the initiative to withdraw from the army, and fell into hesitation for a while.
Reconsider and analyze the current battle situation, and look at it from a different perspective to comfort and encourage yourself.
The stakes of defeat are too high...... But the Beifu soldiers marched 80 miles overnight, which was a genuine tired army, and their own side had the advantage of wind direction, terrain, physical strength, and numbers.
Now it is almost the only chance to defeat the Beifu soldiers head-on, as long as they are defeated, the morale of the Wei army will rise in an all-round way.
Therefore, if you win, the harvest will be great, and the morale you have lost over the years will be regained.
It will also prove one thing, Tian Xin is a human being, and he is not invincible.
The soldier master Chi You was still defeated and died, and he had the experience of the overlord Xiang Yu, not to mention a Tian Xin.
Go to fight the Beifu soldiers, high risk and high return; If the army retreats, it seems that the strength has been preserved, and since then, the army will have scattered their minds, and they are still just surviving.
Besides, just retreating from the army like this, the court needs an explanation, and the people also need an explanation.
The responsibility for defeat is too great for one or two generals to bear.
Sima Yi didn't speak for a while, and Cao Zhen also fell silent.
Sima Yi saw Cao Zhenmeiyu's expression change, so he asked, "Can Big Sima make a decision?" ”
"I want to go east and fight with Tian Xin and Zhang Fei to the death."
Cao Zhen made a decision, and his eyes were absolutely blank: "Please also ask Zhong Dadu to lead Dai Ling and Fei Yao to reinforce the Zhonghu army, and I will lead the main force to advance slowly." Zhongda must consume the remaining physical strength of the Beifu soldiers, and when our army arrives, a thunderous blow can be a miracle! ”
"Yes!"
Sima Yi's expression was excited, and from another angle, the impact of more than 40,000 cavalry was enough to solve the vast majority of the enemy.
The iron cavalry trampled, no matter how brave Tian Xin is, how many formations can he break through?
The cavalry formation is different from the infantry battle formation, and once the infantry battle formation is broken, it is a one-sided slaughter.
And the cavalry has four legs, so how many people can Tian Xin kill if they are repeatedly chiseled through by Tian Xin?
If this battle is more efficient than killing, the cavalry will divide 10,000 to fight with Tian Xin's cavalry, and before the 10,000 cavalry is lost by one-third, the other 30,000 cavalry will be enough to defeat the Beifu soldiers!
It's a killing game, and if you give up and quit now, you'll lose the chance to play forever. Now this game is relatively fair, and in the next battle, it will be difficult for your side to encounter such a good fighter.
I hope for a little now, I hope that Tian Xin will take the initiative to attack, the sooner the better!
The sooner the attack is launched, the greater the physical exertion of the Beifu soldiers, and the more they will be unable to resist the impact of their own cavalry.
In the Beifu position, Tian Xin hesitated, the first hand has the advantage of the first hand, and the back hand also has the advantage of the second hand.
Where there are advantages, there are disadvantages, and where there are advantages, there are disadvantages.
Will Cao Zhen run in the end?
From the analysis of the image in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Zhen will definitely run, Cao Zhen's only task is to set off Sima Yi, and Sima Yi's role is to set off Zhuge Liang.
The other Cao Cao, Guan Yu, Liu Bei, Jiang Wei, Sun Quan, Lu Yi and Zhou Yu are all supporting roles, and their only mission is to set off Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang is the protagonist, in order to show off Zhuge Liang, he will definitely ugly and weaken a series of supporting roles.
Therefore, Cao Zhen is very strong, and the battle of Liangzhou has proved Cao Zhen's command and dispatch ability, Cao Zhen has today's world-class war sense and strategic analysis ability.
If you change places, you will definitely work hard, even if you don't have this bravery, you will put on all the big gambles.
If you win, you have everything, and if you lose, you lose, it's just a question of living three more years or five more years, there is no essential difference.
If the bet wins this battle, Dawei will be able to live for at least ten years. Too many things can happen in ten years, and Dawei still has time to wait for a variable, a variable from within Ji Han.
When Tian Xin hesitated, he asked Su Ze: "Mr. stays out of the matter, as the so-called authorities are obsessed with bystanders, what does Mr. have to say?" ”
Su Ze's two sons were detained in Luoyang, and they were just as young as Ma Teng's family.
The Han army won the decisive battle, and the captured important people could be exchanged for Su Ze's two sons; If the Han army loses the decisive battle, the best use of Su Ze's two sons is to use their heads to clean up the internal atmosphere of the Wei army.
Su Ze thought about it for a while, and replied quite unexpectedly: "The public has repeatedly defeated strong enemies, and the power of Megatron is unparalleled in the world." Sitting upright and looking forward to it, it is natural to be afraid of being subdued from far and near, and it is not appropriate to go out into the army and risk lightly. ”
After a little hesitation, seeing that Tian Xin's close ministers around him did not have an abnormal demeanor, Su Zecai said the next sentence: "If it is not successful, the loss of reputation is not small." ”
Yang Yi also stepped forward to persuade: "The public went to the east to attack the enemy, the ugly state of the group was exposed, and the enemy collapsed and split into enemies of each other." Guy is because our strong army is on the side, and they are worried about each other's lives, so they work together to fight. Our army returned to Nanyang, and the Yuan dispute in the past years will be repeated between the Cao brothers. In this way, I recuperate and self-strengthen, and the thief is weak and weak, and when I go out of Wankou, I can determine the world. ”
Cao Zhen has more than 40,000 cavalry in his hands, so if he doesn't know, he will take the initiative to attack...... If you win, there will be many unnecessary losses, and if you lose, the morale of the Wei army, which has always been suppressed, will rebound and recover.
When Tian Xin was thinking about it, Zhang Wen also took a step forward: "Official, the minister thinks that Cao Zhen will withdraw his troops and cut himself off from Cao Pi." The army under his command is a disciple of the Cao family, not a member of his party. How could Cao Zhen be so unwise to protect the Cao family's life and risk his own life? ”
"Command the armies!"
Tian Xin turned his head and shouted: "Cao Zhen will definitely come to help, and the armies will rest and wait for the army of Song Gong and Wei Gong!" ”
The officers on standby in the surrounding circle shouted in unison, ran to the horses next to them, and rode their horses to convey orders to the two flanks.
The Beifu soldiers remained motionless, and the troops of Zhu Shuo, the leader of the Central Army, on the opposite side, were a little happy, but they were only a little lucky.
The Beifu soldiers rested four miles away on the opposite side to relieve their strength, and when they rested, it would be even more difficult to deal with.
The Beifu soldiers were not in a hurry to attack, and dragged their own side here, indicating that they already had the intention of swallowing their own side in one bite.
Now it depends on whether Cao Xiu and Xiahou Shang's 100,000 troops can kill from the northeast and complete the flanking and containment of the Beifu soldiers.
If Cao Xiu and Xiahou Shang came from the northeast, Cao Zhen would come to the aid with all his might...... This is the best trend.
The worst trend is that Cao Xiu and Xiahou Shang retreated in stride and retreated to the Xingyang area, preparing to completely abandon the Central Plains; Cao Zhen, who was behind him, also regarded himself as an outcast, and retreated to Yique Pass with the main cavalry.
Zhu Shuo's thinking and analysis had no impact on the situation, unless he abandoned the army and fled.
Abandoning the army and fleeing will be executed by Cao Pi, and it is better to coerce the troops to surrender than this.
But he is Cao Pi's confidant, his foundation is in Cao Pi, and Cao Pi doesn't need to explain to anyone when he kills his family; Su Ze is different, killing Su Ze's two sons at will will cause the Guanzhong region to be shaken.
Guanzhong is a sensitive area, and now that the main force is transferred eastward, the Guanzhong area may change at any time, so it is necessary to avoid stimulating the Guanzhong sergeant clan.
At this moment, Zhang Fei joined Tian Yu, more than 20,000 people crossed the river in batches, and the formation march gradually appeared within the battlefield, which was noticed by the enemy and our soldiers.
Zhang Fei came from the south, just crossed the river, and the area on the north bank of the river was a large flat river beach, with low terrain, which was jointly detected by Zhu Shuo and Tian Xin.
Due to Yu's death in battle, Zhang Fei had a gloomy face, standing on the Rong chariot and staring at the Wei army's position in the northwest.
After the formations arrived at the predetermined position one after another, Zhang Fei said to Tian Yu: "The troops of Xiaoxian are tired, and they should be used again after resting." The new soldiers of our army should attack first. ”
"Wei Gong should not be moved lightly, our army is located in a low-lying and flat place, and there is no danger to rely on."
Tian Yu advised: "Chen Gong has already reported, clearly saying that Cao Zhen has 40,000 elite horses, or there is something unusual. ”
"Humph! If he dares to come, he will teach him to come and go! ”
Zhang Fei's anger was uncontrollable, and he pointed to the west: "Zhang He and Cao Hong were defeated and left, if it weren't for Xiaoxian's rush to a hundred miles here, Zhu Shuo's army would also abscond." If this is true in one place, it must be in every place. I expect that Cao Zhen has left, and it is time to defeat Zhu Shuo to avenge Mr. Zhong Xiang! ”
"There is no need to persuade the country, and the overseers guard the left flank, see me as a thief!"
The river flats to the west are also mostly flat, and there are only enemy scouts in conflict, and there is no sign of large-scale Wei troops.
Tian Yu looked sideways, knowing that he couldn't persuade Zhang Fei, so he had to obey.
In the two shallow ravines to the west, Cao Zhang lay on his side on the ground, surrounded by foot soldiers, and the knights mostly lay down with their horses to minimize the possibility of exposure.
