Chapter 1223 Calculation of Losses

These two words seem to have exhausted all of Zhuge Liang's strength. As soon as Zhuge Liang's order fell, the two teams of soldiers and horses of the Dragon Descending Dragon and Fuhu quickly escorted Zhuge Liang to kill and fall into the city. Ma Dai hurried to respond, joined forces with Zhuge Liang, and fled to the north of Chang'an City. Ma Yi led the army to pursue from Houchili. At this time, Xu Huang was still fighting with the Shu soldiers, and he didn't know that Zhuge Liang had fled.

When the showers had subsided, it was already the next day. Xu Huang led the army to fight with the Shu soldiers before the end, and more than 2,200 soldiers, none of them surrendered, and all of them died heroically. Xu Huang lost nearly 2,000 soldiers and horses, and the bureaucrats in the DPRK and China lost countless clansmen and family members. There was an extremely strong smell of blood in Chang'an City. Xu Huang's face was pale, his armor was full of blood, and he was panting. I saw that in front of the Hall of Merit, corpses were all over the field, and broken limbs and flesh were hanging everywhere, like hell on earth. After a night of fighting, Xu Huang was almost exhausted, and quickly taught the sergeant to clean up the battlefield. At this moment, there was a sudden urgent report from the soldiers, Guan Yu did not know that he had fainted, and he did not know whether he was alive or dead. Xu Huang's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he was anxious to visit, only to see Guan Yu bleeding from the seven holes, his face was gloomy, and his breath was extremely weak. Xu Huang was so frightened for a while that his soul seemed to be flying away, as if he was frantically speeding up the sergeant to summon Hua Tuo to come. Suddenly, Hua Tuo arrived, and when he saw that Guan Yu's breath was so weak, he was also startled, and hurriedly probed Guan Yu's pulse. Hua Tuo frowned deeply, and after probing, his face was gloomy, and he sighed.

"General Guan's previous injuries have not healed, and last night there was another fierce battle, new and old injuries at the same time, and the situation is not optimistic. A certain can only use a golden needle to lock General Guan's eight acupuncture points to stabilize his lifeline, whether he can save his life, it depends on how the will of heaven is created. ”

When Xu Huang heard this, as if he had been shocked, he made a 'wow' sound, his soul seemed to be pulled out raw, his eyes were closed, and he fainted. Guan Yu and Xu Huang both fainted, and Pang De was also injured and unconscious, and there was no backbone in the army. Prime Minister Xi Zhicai died again last night. Hua Tuo urgently taught the soldiers to ask Zhou Long to preside over the overall situation. Zhou Long then asked Zhong Xuan and Wang Lang to assist. The three of them agreed to teach the soldiers to guard the city tightly, and then sent the soldiers to bring ten days of food, and ordered Ma Yi, Zhao Tong, Xu Gai and other generals to capture Zhuge Liang and others. Zhou Long thought that Ma Yi was a woman, Xu Gai and Zhao Tong were young, and they were afraid of being deceived by Zhuge Liang, so they didn't want to do so. But Wang Lang insisted on doing it, after all, Zhuge Liang is the only surviving court pillar in Shu Han now, if he can be captured, he will take Xichuan in the future, as if he is in the bag. Zhong Xuan is also recognized. Zhou Long saw that both of them were interested, so he complied.

However, it was said that Ma Yi led the army to pursue, and Zhuge Liang led a group of remnants of the defeated generals to flee from Qishan. On the way, Hua Xiong died. Zhuge Liang wept bitterly, ordered the soldiers to protect his corpse, and drove out of Qishan in the starry night, until the pass of the sloping valley, the soldiers were exhausted. Zhuge Liang then rested in the pass, and on the other hand, he taught people to enter Nanzheng, and ordered Wang Ping and Chen to lead troops to come to respond. Ma Yi received Zhou Long's order, led the troops to Chili to pursue, and chased the Shu soldiers all the way to the outside of the Xiegu Pass. Xu Gai saw that the sergeants were all tired, and hurriedly persuaded Ma Yi.

"Madam, our army has been running around all night, and the men and horses are tired, and the other army is guarding the pass. Be cautious. According to a certain opinion, it is not too late to rest the troops first, wait for the strength to recover, and then enter to break through. ”

When Ma Yi heard this, he also felt that it was reasonable, so he taught the sergeant to rest in the valley and by the river. That night, everyone was resting, and suddenly the sound of killing in the mountain was everywhere, as if thousands of troops and horses were coming. Xu Gai and Zhao Tong were young after all, and they were suddenly panicked. Although Ma Yi is a woman, she is extremely determined, and she shouts loudly to stabilize the army's heart. At this moment, a gust of wind blew, and a group of men and horses came out, and the leader was Ma Dai. Ma Dai glared at the lion angrily, and rushed into the army with a spear, and the Tang soldiers were caught off guard and were killed so that they turned on their backs. Xu Gai was commanding the soldiers and horses, and suddenly Ma Dai came from the crowd, and a shot suddenly stabbed at Xu Gai's door, and shouted in his mouth.

"Shaft!! Accept your life!! ”

Xu Gai's complexion changed greatly, and Ma Dai's spear stabbed extremely quickly, seeing that it was about to stab. Suddenly, two spears were raised and stabbed out, swinging Ma Dai's guns abruptly. Ma Dai fixed his eyes, and it was Ma Yi and Zhao Tong who came. Ma Dai's face was hideous, like a wild lion walking into nowhere, and he suddenly screwed his spear, like a raging storm, and attacked. Ma Yi and Zhao Tong hurriedly twisted their guns to resist.

Xu Gai stabilized his panic and hurriedly rushed to help with his axe. The three of them fought fiercely. However, Ma Dai was brave and mighty, and with the power of one person, he was in danger of killing three people. Moreover, most of Ma Dai's offensive was aimed at Xu Gai and Zhao Tong. If it weren't for Ma Yi's repeated desperate rescues, the two would have become dead souls under Ma Dai's gun. Xu Gai and Zhao Tong first passed through the battlefield and couldn't help but be timid. Seeing this, Ma Yi secretly complained bitterly and hurriedly withdrew the army. Tang Bing listened to the order, and suddenly the six gods were ownerless, and fled in a panic. Ma Dai led his troops to cover up and kill, and the Tang soldiers were defeated. Ma Yi cared about Xu Gai and Zhao Tong in his heart, but he didn't care about commanding the soldiers and horses, so he fled all the way, and the soldiers around him gradually dispersed. By dawn, there were only hundreds of soldiers and horses left around Ma Yi and the others, and the rest were either separated or injured by the Shu soldiers. The people fled in a panic, and there was a long river blocking the way in front of them, and the river was so fast that it was difficult to cross. At this time, Ma Dai led the army to arrive and cut off the retreat.

"Little sister, you have no way out, why don't you surrender quickly!? I can plead with Wuhou and spare you death!" ”

When Ma Yi heard this, Ying Ling's eyes widened, and he shouted.

"Ma Bozhan, you are simply stubborn!! If I hadn't rescued you yesterday, you would have become the ghost of my husband's sword!! ”

When Ma Dai heard this, his face suddenly trembled, and a pair of lions stared at Ma Yi deadly, but he didn't answer.

Suddenly, in the east, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves. Suddenly, a white flash of light turned out from the side of the road, and I saw that the general was wearing silver dragon armor and holding a silver spear with gentian in his hand, it was the Western Tang Dynasty Dragon General, Zhao Zilong! Suddenly, two horses whistled, a general wearing Qinglin armor, and a soldier wearing a tiger's head brass armor rode a horse to the left, Wen Shun and Deng Ai.

Zhao Tong, Xu Gai and others, seeing that the three of them were coming, suddenly had ecstasy on their faces, and they all exclaimed. It turned out that Zhao Yun followed Huang Zhong's orders, turned to Yongzhou, hurried away in the starry night, and caught up with the troops and horses led by Wen Shun and Deng Ai in a few days, and the three of them marched together. By the time Zhao Yun arrived in Chang'an, the war had subsided. Zhou Long hurriedly told him about the past, and Zhao Yun heard that his son, Ma Yi, Xu Gai and other women and children had led an army to pursue Zhuge Liang. Zhao Yun was anxious, rested for a while, recovered some mental and physical strength, and immediately led a cavalry to respond. Wen Shun and Deng Ai insisted on going together, and the three of them led their troops to rush through the starry night, just in time to pass here.

When Ma Dai saw Zhao Yun, his face suddenly became even more hideous, and endless anger and hatred poured out of his body. However, Ma Dai did not lose his mind, knowing that he was not the opponent of everyone, he gritted his teeth and ordered the withdrawal of the army. Zhao Yun shouted loudly and chased away. Ma Dai quickly taught the crossbowmen to shoot arrows to resist. Zhao Yun waved his gun and arrows, rushed for a while, lacked stamina, and stopped his horse. After all, Zhao Yun has been running around day after day, riding one person and riding for thousands of miles, and his mental and physical strength has long been exhausted. Seeing that Zhao Yun was no longer chasing, the Shu soldiers hurriedly fled. Zhao Yun squinted his sword eyes and watched coldly as Ma Dai led the army to retreat, but he drank the soldiers and horses, and first set up the troops to rest.

However, he said that Ma Dai led the troops back to the pass and quickly reported the past to Zhuge Liang. When Zhuge Liang heard that Zhao Yun was coming, his face changed, but he thought in his heart, Zhao Yun did not dare to pursue, he must have been weak in strength, and he expected that the other army would not attack soon, so he was relieved. That night, Wang Ping and Chen Zhi led the army to arrive, and Zhuge Liang was afraid that the night would be long and dreamy, so he immediately withdrew his troops and retreated. The next day, when Zhao Yun led the troops to arrive, the Shu soldiers in the Guannei had already withdrawn.

At this point, Zhuge Liang's plan ended in defeat and retreat. Looking at the battle in Chencang again, and said that Zhang Fei ordered the three armies to attack Chencang. The four-way army was surging towards Chencang City, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, and Xu Shu led troops to guard the city, and the arrows and stones on Chencang City flew and fell, Zhang Fei and Pan Ping, led the army to advance, commanded the soldiers and horses to fight, and the Shu soldiers were brave and not afraid of color, and the offensive was extremely fierce. Chen Cangcheng's troops were empty, it was difficult to defend, and the situation was becoming more and more critical. The two armies fought desperately and fiercely in the upper and lower parts of Chencang City, killing from Pingming to the first watch at night, shouting and killing shook the heavens and the earth, and the earth shook the mountains. The sky was covered with wind and dust, and the severed limbs of corpses were visible everywhere, and blood was everywhere. The Shu soldiers were unsuccessful and became benevolent, and broke through Chen Cang in one fell swoop. **Fortunately, Huang Zhong, Zhang Liao, Xu Shu and others fought desperately to inspire the three armies, and they were still able to resist the offensive of the Shu soldiers with difficulty. I saw that Chen Cangcheng was attacked and shattered, and the female wall was cracked everywhere. Ma Liang saw that the night was getting darker and darker, and he hurriedly persuaded Fa Zheng.

"Fa Gong, the night is dark, which is not conducive to the sergeant's battle. I see that this Chen Cangcheng is already in danger, why don't you withdraw the army first, and then break it in one fell swoop tomorrow!? ”

When Fa Zheng heard this, his eyes widened, and he shouted.

"No!! It was precisely because Chen Cangcheng was about to be broken that the soldiers of the three armies were vigorous, and they broke it in one fell swoop and captured Huang, Zhang, and Xu. If the army is withdrawn and the other army abandons the city and flees, will they not let the tiger return to the mountain!? ”

Fa Zheng shouted, Ma Liang's face changed, his expression froze, and he suddenly stepped onto a drum tower, took a drum stick from the soldiers, and personally beat the drum for the three armies. Seeing this, Fa Zheng laughed loudly, and also walked to a drum tower, beating the drum vigorously. The morale of the three armies was greatly shaken, and the Shu soldiers fought bravely, and the offensive became stronger and stronger. Above the north gate, patches of fire soared into the sky. It turned out that the Tang soldiers were burning the ladder of the Shu army with rockets. However, the offensive of the Shu soldiers was too strong, and the Tang soldiers in the city were exhausted and could not stop it. I saw Zhang Fei take a cloud ladder and surging towards the city. Huang Zhong saw it clearly, and hurriedly pulled the bow and pulled the string and shot it violently. The arrow shot out of the air and suddenly shot at Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei heard the sound of breaking through the air, and suddenly jumped, like a vicious tiger pounced on the moon, jumping in mid-air. Huang Zhong hurriedly pulled the bowstring and shot it again and again. Zhang Fei angrily danced the snake spear, connected the points and stabbed quickly, and the cold arrows were shot, piercing the roots. 'Bang', like an evil god falling to the ground, Zhang Fei roared sharply, and his tongue fought with spring thunder, like thunder, shocking all directions. Tang Bing was frightened when he saw this, Huang Zhong stared at the tiger, his white beard was flying, like a creeping beast, rushing towards him with a red knife in his hand. Zhang Fei's face was full of fierceness and he applauded. said that it was too late, Huang Zhong had already approached, and between the lightning and flint, his hand rose and fell, and he slashed towards Zhang Feimian's door. Zhang Fei stepped on the ground with both feet, lungeed and bent over, and a spear suddenly swept out, as if sweeping thousands of troops, hitting the red knife cut by Huang Zhong. The flames burst out, Huang Zhong's face changed, and his entire body instantly seemed to be torn by a strong and violent force, and he suddenly retreated. Zhang Fei stepped on his footsteps, jumped up, and the snake spear suddenly shot out, as fast as lightning, and in an instant, there seemed to be dozens of spear shadows shrouded towards Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong concentrated, danced the knife to resist, the knife and spear collided, and the sound of metal collision was deafening and endless.

"Kill !!"

Zhang Fei was so angry that he burst out two fierce lights in his eyes, and his spear accelerated. Huang Zhong was injured, how could he withstand Zhang Fei's angry attack. The two fought for fifty or sixty rounds, and Huang Zhong was about to lose. At this moment, there was a sudden sound of breaking the air behind Zhang Fei, Zhang Fei was not alarmed, repelled Huang Zhong with a spear, and turned sharply to sweep the snake spear, the speed was incredible. There was a loud bang, and I saw Zhang Fei's snake spear slamming into a halberd. The person who attacked with a halberd was Zhang Liao. Zhang Liao's complexion changed, and his entire body sparked two sparks on the ground. Zhang Fei's face was fierce, and he shouted.

"Junior mice and mouses, you can wait to kill them!!"
