Chapter 524: The End

The confrontation between Pubanjin did not last too long, with the crossing of a large number of Cao troops, Zhang Fei's reaction was a little intriguing, he would still come to attack the camp every day, but the strength was not too strong, giving Cao Zhen the feeling that it was like dealing with an errand, although there were not many Han troops themselves who chased here, and the hundreds of thousands of Han troops who entered the Guanzhong were only about 20,000 now, what were the others doing, Cao Zhen could probably guess that he would subdue the cities in Guanzhong, and he might even have gone to Xiliang, the Wei army was defeated, Large areas that are vacated take time to digest.

But with Zhang Fei's character, he shouldn't let them go so easily.

There is a conspiracy~!

This is Cao Zhen's judgment, but what kind of conspiracy it is, he can't say, Cao Jun has crossed most of the river, but Zhang Fei is still not in a hurry, this should be a good thing, but Cao Zhen can't be happy.

"General, the soldiers have almost crossed the river, and now there are more than 5,700 people in the camp!" A general walked over, bowed to Cao Zhen and said, "It's time for the general to cross the river." ”

With a large number of Cao troops crossing the river, the garrison soldiers and horses are already a little insufficient, if the Han army attacks, the camp may not be able to hold, Cao Zhen can do this step, it is already admirable, as for the rest...... Although they didn't say it explicitly, their lives were obviously not as valuable as Cao Zhen's lives, and in this crisis, they had to make trade-offs.

"Well, next time, we'll cross the river." Cao Zhen nodded silently when he heard this, his heart was much more relaxed, he did everything he could, and the rest ...... It's not that I don't want to care, but I can't manage it, it's really the last batch to go, I'm afraid I can't go, no matter what Zhang Fei's idea is, the next 5,000 people will be regarded as a meritorious service to him.

Trade-offs are sometimes something that must be done in desperation, Cao Zhen has done the maximum he can do in order to protect his vitality, and now as the Wei army continues to cross the river, the Wei army that stays in the camp is beginning to be a little difficult to control, and they are worried that they will become the one who is left behind, even if Cao Zhen is still there, he can no longer suppress this restless emotion.

The morning sun is a little cold, autumn has arrived, the air in the north, the coolness is already very heavy, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is even more amazing.

Under the command of the general, the Wei army at the ferry boarded the fishing boat in an orderly manner and prepared to cross the river, because the offensive of the Han army was not too strong these days, and the Wei army had never encountered danger when crossing the river, so the Wei army on board the boat was very stable, and even could hear laughter, although there was only a river apart, but it gave people the feeling that it was like a line of life and death, and they were transitioning from death to life, which was originally nervous and hesitant.

As soon as this environment is comfortable, the vigilance will become worse, Zhang Fei has given them this illusion of comfort these days, what does Cao Zhen think here, the soldiers below don't know, but for ordinary soldiers, there is probably a kind of thinking in their hearts, the Han army has no choice, as long as the camp is not broken, it is safe, not to mention that now that they have reached the river, they are about to go to the other side, as long as they go ashore, it will be safe.

It is based on this idea that when a fleet of boats appears upstream, the first reaction of everyone is not to be vigilant, but to think whether this is a boat collected from the east of the river to support, or that this fleet can be intercepted and more sergeants can be crossed.

It wasn't until the other party approached and released arrows in this direction that the Wei army reacted, which was clearly the Han army.

The panic and fear instantly slowed down, and did not leave the shore too far, the Wei army on the shore was anxiously shouting, rows of archers ran to this side, and released arrows to the river, but the other party's boat went down the river, the speed was fast, and it rushed over in the blink of an eye, and the boat hit it directly, and many Wei troops were directly knocked into the water, fluttering and trying to catch something.

As for this Han army, some people also fell into the water, but the other party was wearing rattan armor and couldn't sink at all, and after stabilizing his body, he pounced directly towards the fishing boat of the Wei army.

Water war is definitely a weakness for the Wei army, of course, this rattan army has not seen how strong, the Han army's water army is basically concentrated in Jingzhou Jiangling, Jiangxia and Yueyang, the army of the Northern Expedition, there is no water army, but the advantage of the rattan army is that it is not afraid of water, even if it falls into the water, it does not need the soldiers to know the water, it can float on its own, and it is invulnerable, the soldiers of the Cao army also want to resist, but they can't resist, and they were soon defeated by this rattan army, and the ships were all scuttled, and the back road of the Cao army was completely broken.

When Cao Zhen heard the news, he could only watch the rattan armor army scuttle the boats crossing the river one by one, but they couldn't do anything, there were no boats, they couldn't swim over, and even if they swam over, it was useless, look at the Han army, the soldiers and horses were clearly good at water warfare, and the Wei army was in the water, which was not much better than the battle of Chibi back then.

But the hope of retreating is completely extinct, looking at the Han army that does not dock, but is cruising around, Cao Zhen's hands and feet are cold for a while, he now understands why Zhang Fei has let those soldiers and horses cross the river these days, the other party does not want to have too many losses, the current camp of more than 5,000 people, for the Han army, it is easy to attack the camp, and the other party's target is obviously himself.

"Woo~" The rumbling war drums were accompanied by the sound of horns, Zhang Fei also began to attack, Zhang Fei's general attack began!

"General, let's go!" Several generals of the Cao Army hurriedly rushed up and said to Cao Zhen.

"Let's go?" Cao Zhen laughed miserably: "Zhang Fei attacked the camp, and there was a river blocking the way, where else can I go?" ”

"Seventy miles north of the camp is Haoyang, we can take advantage of the Han army to attack the camp, retreat to Haoyang to cross the river!" A Cao army general said in a deep voice.

As for the Wei army in this battalion, it can't be controlled now, the defeat is decided, and the most important thing now is to keep Cao Zhen and a cadre of generals.

At the time of life and death, Cao Zhen was no longer hypocritical and polite, if he could not be caught by the Han army, it was naturally the best, he nodded at the moment, withdrew from the barracks with everyone, and looked north.

As soon as Cao Zhen left, how could the Wei army, which was already disheartened, be able to block the attack of the Han army, and in less than a moment, it was broken through the Yuanmen, and the desperate Wei army, many people knelt directly to ask for surrender.

"General, Cao Zhen fled to the direction of Haoyang!" In the chaotic camp, Huang Zhong rode his horse to Zhang Fei's side and said in a deep voice.

If Cao Zhen really went to Haoyang, then the Han army's wait for time would be in vain, and the five thousand Wei troops would definitely not be as important as Cao Zhen's value.

If it weren't for Cao Zhen, Zhang Fei wouldn't have waited so long.

"Don't worry, Shizai has already made arrangements, he can't go!" Zhang Fei sneered and said: "Clean up these Wei troops first, those who can be incorporated will be recruited, and those who are unwilling to surrender will be killed on the spot!" ”

"Whoa!" Huang Zhong agreed, said goodbye and left.

The battle in Pubanjin, after Cao Zhen fled to Haoyang, the ending has been decided, the main generals have all run away, and they are still a fart?

However, Cao Zhen did not really run to Haoyang, and after running ten miles out of the camp, he heard a gong on both sides and was blocked by hundreds of Han soldiers wearing rattan armor.

The first person, seven feet tall, with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, gives people a very bad feeling from top to bottom, but there is an elegant atmosphere, stopped in front of Cao Zhen's troops of dozens of people at this moment, and said with a smile: "General Zidan, Deng Ai has been waiting here for a long time!" ”

Deng Ai?

Cao Zhen looked at Deng Ai coldly, another unfamiliar name, his eyes swept around the hundreds of vine armor soldiers, and finally fell back to Deng Ai, no nonsense, just silently pulled out the sword.

There is no need to say more, at this point, it is impossible for them to surrender, and Deng Ai is obviously impossible to let them go, and now there is only a forced breakthrough.

Deng Ai raised his hand, and hundreds of vine armor troops quickly stepped forward, forming a situation of encirclement, blocking the way of Cao Zhen and others, to this point, words were meaningless.

"Kill!" Cao Zhen roared, rushed towards the front, and the sword in his hand stabbed fiercely at the vine armor army that stopped in front of him, although he had not done it himself for many years, but the martial arts had not fallen, this sword failed to pierce the vine armor, but the strength made the vine armor army staggered back a few steps.

What is it?

Cao Zhen's eyes widened in astonishment, looking at the rattan armor army in front of him who stood up like no one was right, he was horrified in his heart, the vine armor army on both sides had also taken advantage of the situation to force up, Cao Zhen roared, swung his sword and slashed wildly, but it had no effect, and the six vine armor soldiers held the rattan shield to protect their heads, and slowly surrounded Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen gradually became a little difficult to move, and kicked the vine armor army away with a fierce kick, but he was soon surrounded again, and was finally squeezed in the center by six vine armor soldiers, and it was difficult to move again.

Deng Ai stepped forward and said loudly: "General Cao, I only ask once below, do you want to surrender?" ”

"Don't think!" Cao Zhen gritted his teeth and shouted.

Deng Ai nodded: "Since that's the case, please ask the general to go on the road!" Kill! ”

"Puff puff~"

Almost at the same time, the six rattan armor soldiers who had already prepared pierced the blade in their hands from under the rattan shield into Cao Zhen's body, blood continued to spray out along the blade, Cao Zhen's body twitched violently several times, and when the six vine armor soldiers retreated, they fell to the ground weakly.

"General!" The roar of the generals of the Cao army around sounded, but they couldn't do anything, in the face of the invulnerable vine armor army, don't say that it is not enough to fight out of the encirclement, self-protection, but this moment of effort, more than a dozen people have fallen, and the rest are gradually forced into the corner by the vine armor army, seeing Cao Zhen die in battle, one by one roared angrily, wanting to rush out, but it was a ruthless and cold blade to meet them.

It's over!

Seeing the last Wei general fall in a pool of blood, Deng Ai sighed silently, the battle of Guanzhong, plus the final pursuit of Cao Zhen, took only three months, so far, it is completely over.
