Chapter 632: Sima Defeated
On the riverbank, the battle between the Wei army and the Han army has begun, and the gap between equipment and individual combat power is difficult to make up, not to mention that even when it comes to the ability to command, Xiahou Ba may not have Wei Yanqiang, the Wei army is losing and retreating, but Xiahou Ba is gritting his teeth and holding on, he is waiting, waiting for the arrival of Wei reinforcements.
"Boom~"
The knife in Xiahouba's hand had been curled, and he didn't know how many Han soldiers he had killed, and the strength in his body seemed to be drained, and he didn't even know if he could hold out until the reinforcements arrived, but the roar in his ears shocked Xiahouba's spirit.
Here it comes!
kicked away the difficult Han army in front of him, Xiahou Ba avoided the spear that followed, and his own guards stepped forward to help him block the Han army.
Reinforcements did not arrive, only a monstrous flood swept in.
When he saw the rolling river rushing towards this side, Xiahou Ba's face turned pale, and at this moment, he understood what the reinforcements in Sima Yi's mouth were, this reinforcement would not only destroy the enemy, but also destroy himself!
Ha ha~
Laughing a little nervously, Xiahou Ba violently threw away the ring head knife in his hand, picked up a spear from the ground, and roared: "Reinforcements have arrived, soldiers, kill with me!" ”
Some people have already sensed that something is wrong, but in the face of this natural might, manpower looks small and humble in front of them, some people turn around and want to escape, and some people pounce on the enemy even more frantically like Xiahou Ba.
However, the surging flood did not directly sweep up, or rather, the main part was not here, part of the Wei army was swept away, but more floods rushed to the Wei army camp on the other side of the river in the stunned eyes of everyone.
"Boom~"
The sound of the water roared, the waves emptied, the earthen walls were broken in an instant, and the raging river washed away the camp, swept away the soldiers, and swept away everything that could be swept away.
The screams and wails echoed in the sky, but they were quickly drowned out, and finally only the sound of raging water remained.
Sima Yi's position was in the rear, he was holding the flagpole tightly, looking at the camp that was swept by the flood in the distance, Rao was in his heart, and his mind was also blank at the moment.
The 50,000 troops in the camp, plus the 30,000 on the other side of the river, the 80,000 army was just gone in an instant, and he had prepared a strategy for eight years, but in the end he defeated himself?
"Father, this is ......" The flood has passed, most of the military camp has been washed away, and there are not many remaining soldiers, Sima Shi came to Sima Yi's side, looking at everything in front of him, his face became extremely ugly, this is still Sima Yi after releasing wolf smoke, as he did last time, but even so, this time the water seemed to be coming towards Wei Ying, Sima Yi did not retreat too far, and most of the camp was impacted.
"Don't ask, immediately change into the clothes and armor of ordinary soldiers, and withdraw quickly!" Sima Yi shook his head, and after making sure that the water had receded, the first thing he did was to change his clothes and put on the clothes of ordinary soldiers.
The Wei army here is finished, although there are still some soldiers, but it is obvious that it has been unable to block the Han army from crossing the river, the loss of Hanoi is a foregone conclusion, it is necessary to meet with Guo Huai as soon as possible, and reorganize the defense line, otherwise, once Liu Yi crosses the river, he can drive straight into Jizhou and attack Jizhou, if Yecheng falls, then the Great Wei Dynasty will really be over.
"Whoa!" Sima Shi was not stupid, and quickly understood that once the water was gone, it was already difficult to stop Liu Yi, and at this time, if he didn't change into ordinary clothes, he would be easily targeted by the Han army.
……
"Deng Ai, cross the river immediately and capture Sima Yi for me!" In the Han army camp, Liu Yi took back the binoculars, and in his state of mind, he couldn't help laughing heartily at the moment.
For him, the Wei army's losses came second, and the most important thing was that Sima Yi was overturned by himself, which was more meaningful to Liu Yi than simply defeating the Wei army.
If Sima Yi is replaced by Cao Shuang, even if there are twice as many soldiers and horses, Liu Yi will not have such a great sense of accomplishment when he defeats the other party, although there are many famous generals who have been killed by Liu Yi in this life, but Sima Yi is still the first top wise man, Liu Yi can't help but be excited.
"Whoa!" Deng Ai was also overjoyed and agreed.
The Han army had already prepared, and with Liu Yi's order, groups of soldiers carried bamboo rafts and slaughtered to the river with great momentum, preparing to cross the river.
Xiahouba's army, as early as the moment when the Wei army's camp was washed away by the flood, the morale was completely collapsed, Xiahouba was unwilling to be bound, and threw himself into the river alone.
The rest of the Wei army had no morale, and when they saw that the main force of the Han army was killed, how could they still have the heart to fight again, and they knelt down one by one to ask for surrender.
Liu Yi ordered someone to ignite the beacon fire again, and notified Jiang Wei upstream to start working.
This battle of crossing the river, Liu Yi and Sima Yi on both sides of the river from February to June, the Central Plains War has been divided into several victories, but the two are here immovable, now a move, but directly divided the victory and defeat, although Sima Yi still has 50,000 troops led by Guo Huai of Wen County, but now it is obviously powerless to prevent Liu Yi from crossing the river.
The only thing that makes Liu Yi feel regretful is that Sima Yi was not captured alive or captured alive, with this person one day, Liu Yi does not dare to guarantee whether he will really win next time, after all, if he really only talks about the ability of the two, Liu Yi feels that he is still not as good as Sima Yi, the reason why he can win this time is that he is stable and has found the root cause, but next time, he may not have such good luck.
After the excitement, Liu Yi quickly calmed down, Sima Lao Thief was still there, and he couldn't take it lightly.
"Governor, there are 10,000 captured Wei troops!" The next day, Wei Yan and Deng Ai, who had been chasing all night, came back and reported to Liu Yi with a little excitement.
The Wei army that was washed away is not counted, the remaining Wei army can't organize decent resistance at all, and some even surrender directly, if you add the Xiahou Ba's department, this battle alone is a captured Wei army, there are as many as 20,000 people!
If it is washed away by the flood, it is difficult to calculate.
Liu Yi nodded and said: "Occupy Hanoi as soon as possible, and do a good job of pacifying, I don't know how many people are homeless in this big flood." ”
The rushing flood has now returned to flattening, as if nothing had happened, but patrolling along the riverbank, the water-soaked war horses, the corpses of the Wei army, the Han army carrying boats back and forth on the river, salvaging those still alive Wei troops or baggage, the fertile fields along the way have been washed away, the Zhuangzi has been washed away, and the place that should have been prosperous is now only desolate as far as the eye can see.
The original joy continued to appear in front of me as this scene continued to appear, and all that was left was a strong sense of guilt.
"Governor, why is our army unhappy when we have won a big victory?" Wei Yan took Deng Ai, Ma Qiu and others to find Liu Yi, and looked at Liu Yi's expression, a little puzzled.
"There are no eyes on this battlefield, life and death are commonplace, but for these people, what does war have to do with them?" Liu Yi sighed and said to Deng Ai: "Shizai, you ordered someone to notify Luoyang Ling, send someone to settle here, if necessary, open a warehouse and release grain, save as much as you can." ”
Although Sima Yi came up with the water attack plan first, but the scene in front of him can be regarded as an accomplice, Liu Yi felt that he had changed to something, otherwise his conscience would be uneasy.
"The Governor is kind-hearted...... Wei Yan and the others bowed.
"Don't say these useless things, these people have fallen into such a field, it is also thanks to me, and now they do what they can, which is regarded as atonement for their sins, benevolence...... I'm not worthy yet. Liu Yi waved his hand, shook his head and sighed.
All the generals were silent when they heard the words, counting up, looking at the world for decades, Liu Yi is a general who pays more attention to the suffering of the people, everywhere he goes, he will inevitably build water conservancy and irrigate farmland, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, if even Liu Yi is not worthy, who can say that he is worthy? Which of them didn't have bloody hands?
"Don't talk about that." Seeing that his subordinates were a little depressed, Liu Yi shook his head, shook off these distracting thoughts in his mind, and asked, "Have you found Sima Yi?" ”
"Never." Wei Yan shook his head and said, "The captives have pointed out more than ten directions, and Sima Yi has set up a suspicious formation, and the last general has already sent people to pursue them separately." ”
"There's no need to chase it, since I didn't catch it at the time, it's hard to catch it now." Liu Yi waved his hand and said: "Capture Hanoi as soon as possible, the rest of the affairs are under the control of the imperial court, let's take a rest and prepare to continue north." ”
With Sima Yi's means, I am afraid that he has put himself in a safe situation at this moment, and if he wants to arrest him at this moment, the possibility is very small, it is better to save some energy and prepare for continuing to go north, their goal this time is Yecheng, as long as they can break through Yecheng, whether they can capture Emperor Cao Fang of Wei alive or not, their goal on this road will be achieved, and then attack Youzhou and Jizhou, which is relatively simple.
"Whoa!"
On the other side, Sima Yi immediately withdrew his troops after joining Guo Huai, Liu Yi has crossed the river, Sima Yi is not afraid of Liu Yi, but the combat power of the Han army far exceeds that of the Wei army, this point, when he assisted Cao Xiu in Luoyang to fight Guan Yu, he had really felt that the river had been lost, and there was no danger in Hanoi to defend, and Guo Huai only had 50,000 people here, just above the number of soldiers and horses, he was not Liu Yi's opponent, and with this time, Sima Yi's understanding of Liu Yi, it was impossible to ambush or sneak attack, Liu Yi's attack may not be enough, But the defensive aspect is absolutely leaky, and it is difficult for such an opponent to ambush.
"Captain, just retreat like this?" Guo Huai looked at Sima Yi with some unwillingness, he was transferred from Bingzhou, and he lost the battle without fighting, which felt quite uncomfortable.
"Hanoi has no danger to defend, Liu Yi has an army of 100,000, our army is difficult to compete with only the current men, now retreat, hold the Yanjin area, wait for the imperial court reinforcements, or a battle!" Sima Yi shook his head and said.
Exchanging space for time is the only way Sima Yi can think of at the moment.
