"Quick, immediately notify Deng Ai to respond, others, save people!" Wei Yan's roar echoed through the wilderness.

It's just such a moment's effort, although it is not like the Yellow River bursting the embankment that swept away the entire camp at once, but in the current situation, most people have been drenched in soup!

In such weather, most of those tough soldiers shrank into a ball at the moment, trembling, and there were not many losses, but most of them lost their combat effectiveness.

The city gate of Neihuang has been opened, and a large number of Wei troops rushed out, Wei Yan gritted his teeth, and he didn't care too much, so he immediately drank the order, and he could keep up.

The Wei army did not pursue, but began to loot the equipment of the Han army on the battlefield.

Li Yan was lucky, riding a horse, although he was knocked down by the water, but the guards were not afraid of death, and finally escaped before the Wei army came, and ran with Wei Yan.

At this time, Wei Yan didn't have time to pay attention to him, seeing that the Wei army didn't chase him, but he didn't dare to stay longer, so he took the remnants of the army all the way to Nandun, preparing to go to Liyang to make plans again.

As for those baggage, I can't take care of them at the moment.

"General Wei, the thief army is not chasing, and it will not rest!" Li Yan had already taken off his armor and clothes, although it would be cold, but if he wore it, it would be even colder.

"Alas~" Wei Yan saw that the sun was already setting in the west, and it was really not appropriate to continue to hurry, so he turned over and dismounted, handed his cloak to Li Yan and said: "The men and horses of the soldiers should arrive soon, and the general is patient." ”

Li Yan was not polite, took Wei Yan's cloak and wrapped himself, trembling, looking around, most of the soldiers took off their armor like him, and some even threw away their weapons, but his face was miserable: "After this defeat, what face do you have to see Your Majesty!" ”

Wei Yan glanced at him when he heard this, and ignored him.

This is obviously hoping that Wei Yan can help him intercede, but this matter depends on how Liu Yi deals with it, this Li Yan has secretly made a stumbling block for Liu Yi since the battle of Hanzhong back then, and for so many years, he has made a move openly and secretly, Wei Yan is very clear that Liu Yi called Li Yan this time, and he somewhat wanted to trap him.

However, this pit has little to do with Liu Yi, Liu Yi made it clear at the beginning that if Li Yan can really defeat Sima Yi, then Li Yan will be the first credit for destroying Wei, but if he loses to Sima Yi, it will be a new account and an old account together.

Wei Yan didn't think about helping Li Yan take responsibility, he was more or less responsible.

"This battle ......" Wei Yan looked at Li Yan and sighed: "It's too urgent, what the Governor said is right, Sima Yi is not comparable to the idle people, the general should think about how to intercede with the Governor." ”

What is Liu Yi going to do, Wei Yan knows very well, according to the original plan, Liu Yi sneaked up on Yecheng, if Li Yan can defeat Sima Yi is the best, even if he loses to Sima Yi, it is not surprising, but Liu Yi left a way back, as long as it is not too badly defeated, the stone henge in Hanoi is enough to preserve his vitality, and no matter whether Liu Yi's plan to attack Yecheng can be achieved or not, he will be qualified to make a comeback.

But now......

Looking at the large number of bare shoulders crowded together, Wei Yan's heart was heavy, even if Liu Yi's surprise attack on Yecheng was successful, for a while, there would not be enough soldiers and horses to annex the entire Jizhou.

Seeing that the sky was about to darken, Wei Yan was ready to let people cut down wood and build a camp, but before he could do it, he heard a shout of killing, and a group of men and horses were killing this side.

"So fast!?" Wei Yan was shocked when he saw it, and he didn't care about closing the camp, so he hurriedly took the men and horses to continue to escape.

Along the way, countless people were caught up by the enemy, captured or killed, Wei Yan listened to the screams behind him, his heart was like blood, but he didn't dare to turn back, he only led the men and horses to rush towards Liyang overnight.

And this Wei army was not in a hurry to chase and kill, but just hung all the way to the rear, constantly picking up equipment.

At dawn, Deng Ai came with 2,000 men to meet him, and shot his position with bows and arrows, so that the Wei army temporarily retreated.

"This is ......" Deng Ai looked at the tragic situation in front of him and looked at Wei Yan in disbelief.

"It's a long story, let's find some clothes for the soldiers to wear first." Wei Yan sighed and said to Deng Ai: "In addition, the military doctor will be recruited quickly, many soldiers in the army have suffered from the cold!" ”

"Whoa!" Deng Ai nodded, agreed, and personally led the army to defeat the army, and escorted the remnants of the army to retreat into Liyang.

Guo Huai led the soldiers and horses to patrol the flank, not attacking the city, but also not leaving, directly garrisoning troops outside Liyang City.

Early the next morning, after a night's rest, Li Yan recovered a little, although he also suffered from the wind cold, but it was not too serious, and he spoke with a thick nasal voice.

"How many soldiers are there in the army?" Li Yan looked at Deng Ai and said astringently.

"There were only more than 20,000 people who retreated from the front line yesterday, but most of them were infected with wind and cold, and there was not enough medicine in the city. Deng Ai sighed and said.

"Ten thousand!?" Li Yan's body trembled, and the expression on his face became even more bitter.

"Hmm." Wei Yan nodded: "In addition, plus the soldiers who have not been watered by the river, it is less than 15,000, plus the defenders in Liyang, Baima, Yanjin, Yanxian and other places, there can be about 20,000 horses." ”

An army of 60,000, but in the end only 20,000 remained!

In fact, among the people who were damaged, there were not many who were really washed away by the water, and most of them froze to death or were killed by the pursuers of the Wei army on the way to defeat yesterday.

Li Yan only felt that his mouth was full of bitterness, his previous ambition was long gone, and he knew that even if Liu Yi didn't embarrass himself, the court would probably punish him heavily.

Besides, Liu Yi didn't let go of himself...... Is it possible?

"What's worse is that I sent scouts to investigate, and the Wei army has captured a large number of weapons and armor from our army!" Deng Ai sat opposite Wei Yan, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "With these armor, the Wei army can organize an elite that is not weaker than our army!" In this battle, if you want to press the Wei army like before, I'm afraid it's impossible! ”

When Li Yan and Wei Yan heard this, they couldn't help but fall silent.

In the past, the Han army was able to suppress the Wei army, relying on the advantage of weapons, strong armor, and a range far beyond ordinary bows and arrows, which was almost equivalent to a dimensionality reduction strike, so that it could fight with 60,000 to suppress Sima Yi's army of more than 100,000.

But now, with the same equipment on both sides, even if the Han army is well-trained, it will definitely not be able to defeat the crowd with a small number if it really fights.

This defeat wiped out the biggest advantage in their hands.

"Report~" Just when the three of them were silent and speechless, a small colonel rushed to the door and said loudly: "Generals, visit the Malay report, Sima Yi personally led the army to Liyang." ”

When the three of them heard this, Huo Ran got up, Wei Yan gritted his teeth and said, "It's really fast." ”

Li Yan sighed and said, "Our army is now afraid that it will be difficult to fight against the Wei army!" ”

Without the advantage of equipment, the number of people occupies an absolute disadvantage, even if the city wall of Liyang is strong, it will not be able to hold it for long, the most important thing is that it is meaningless, the rear all the way to Hanoi, almost inhabited, holding Liyang, there is no point at all.

Even Li Yan was worried that he couldn't even hold Hanoi.

"The governor has set up a few stone formations in the area from Ji County to Wude, and we will retreat to that side, there are still tens of thousands of horses available in the land of Hanoi, although it is impossible to defeat Sima Yi, but it is enough to keep Hanoi." Wei Yan nodded, his morale was low at the moment, and there was a huge disparity in numbers, so he really didn't have the strength to resist Sima Yi.

"General Wei." Li Yan hesitated for a moment, hugged his fist at Wei Yan and said: "Now that my body is weak and my mind is dizzy, I am afraid that I will not be able to lead the army, so next, I will hand it over to General Wei." ”

Wei Yan didn't talk to him politely, and at this time, even if Li Yan wanted to lead the troops, Wei Yan would not agree, and immediately took Deng Ai to the door and began to arrange a retreat.

Although it is a little unkind, it is obviously impossible to bring all the injured people with the wind and cold under the pursuit of the Wei army, so Wei Yan's first order is to order the officers and soldiers of the three armies, who can follow the troops, go together, and those who can't go, stay and defend the city.

Although Deng Ai couldn't bear it, this is undoubtedly the best solution now.

……

"Father, what is this?" Sima Shi sat on horseback, watching Sima Yi play with the bamboo tube he picked up from the battlefield yesterday with a curious face, and said curiously.

"Fetish!" Sima Yi took the binoculars and looked into the distance, and said in amazement: "No wonder the Han army is rarely ambushed, there is this thing, and the scene thousands of steps away is like in front of you!" Look. ”

Hearing this, Sima Shi took the bamboo tube handed by Sima Yi, looked into the distance like Sima Yi, and frowned a little: "Why does it seem to be farther away?" ”

"You're doing it the other way around!" Sima Yi said with a smile.

"Oh!" Sima Shi turned the bamboo tube upside down, and when he looked into the distance again, he suddenly looked at Sima Yi with a surprised face: "Father, this ...... Could Liu Yi really have ghosts and gods to help? ”

Regarding Liu Yi's deeds, the earliest rumors are that he is a descendant of the Mo family, and he is a figure that has not been met for thousands of years, and there are unpredictable opportunities for ghosts and gods, but all along, most people have scoffed at this, but now, looking at the bamboo telescope in his hand, Sima Shi suddenly felt a little convinced.

"I don't know if there are ghosts and gods to help my father, but this person is indeed a strange person!" Sima Yi shook his head, the saying of ghosts and gods has existed since ancient times, but for people like him, he believes more in what he knows, as for ghosts and gods, he has not seen them, he does not object, but he will not believe them.

"If Liu Yi can be captured alive, perhaps, in another ten years, my Great Wei may not be able to defeat the pseudo-Han!" Sima Shi played for a long time before returning the bamboo telescope to Sima Yi, shaking his head and sighing.

"Capture him alive?" The corners of Sima Yi's mouth twitched twice when he heard this, and he looked at his son and said, "I believe that as a father, even if you can break through Chang'an, don't want to capture this person alive!" ”

Strictly speaking, Sima Yi and Liu Yi have never even met, and they have only fought twice, but for Liu Yi's character, Sima Yi believes that he knows better than most people in this world.

Such a person, even if the pseudo-Han is destroyed, he himself is estimated to be able to live a very prosperous life.
