Text Chapter 56 The Great Wei Heroes
Zhuge Liang is in the middle of the army
Zhuge Liang in the distance had already seen tears in his eyes, and Yang Yi ran over excitedly shaking Zhuge Liang's arms, "Prime Minister, it's Wei Yan, it's Wei Yan!" Wei Yan succeeded, and Wei Guo was completely finished this time! At this time of this life-and-death battle related to the survival of the country, the personal grievances between Yang Yi and Wei Yan have become unimportant, and at this moment, Yang Yi admires and appreciates Wei Yan's arrival from the bottom of his heart.
"Yes, yes, Wei Yan has succeeded in the end, God bless the man!" Zhuge Liang closed his eyes and shed hot tears. It's been too long to wait for this moment, it's not easy...... No! It's not over yet! We must completely destroy the Wei army and Cao Rui's will to resist! Zhuge Liang opened his eyes and decisively ordered, "Order Jiang Wei to lead the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to quickly go around behind the Wei army and join Wei Yan, we must cut off the retreat of the Wei army, and we must not let them escape!" The rest of the soldiers will attack with me, and not a single Wei soldier can be spared! ”
"Order!" With Zhuge Liang's order, the Shu army began to outflank and pursue the Wei army. The cavalry repeatedly charged, scattering the Wei army and dividing them one by one, and the infantry phalanx quickly followed and eliminated the Wei army one by one.
The Wei soldiers advanced and retreated, Zhuge Liang's soldiers pressed the formation in front, and there were cavalry to block the retreat, plus Cao Rui's life and death were unknown, and Xuchang, the capital of Wei, had fallen again, and all the soldiers and their families were in the hands of the enemy.
The Great Rout!
Hundreds of thousands of Wei troops began to scurry around like headless flies, many of whom were originally improvised conscripts and lacked organizational discipline. Now that the catastrophe is coming, they are flying separately, even if Man Zhong and the others shout loudly, even shooting the deserters is useless. The Wei army was defeated like a mountain, and the front and rear armies trampled on each other, and they were defeated.
The rear army became the former army, and Chen Tai and Chen Qian, the governors of the left and right who were responsible for the broken rear, were captured successively. The Shu army soon killed Sun Li, the governor of the Chinese army.
Sun Li swung his sword and slashed and shouted, "Dadu Governor, you cover Your Majesty and leave quickly, I will cut off the ...... here" Before the words fell, a short spear pierced Sun Li's body.
"Governor, ..... Let's go ......" Sun Li finished the last sentence with difficulty, spitting blood from his mouth, and fell from his horse to his death.
"General Sun!" He shouted angrily, and when he looked up, it turned out to be a short spear thrown by the Southern Barbarian King Meng Shu on the back of the elephant.
"Cao Rui is here, kill me!" Meng Shou shouted and commanded the elephant soldiers to rush over. Meng Shu sat on the back of the elephant, and he naturally saw more clearly.
Man Chong gritted his teeth, and wanted to rush over and fight with Meng Yu, but when he thought of Cao Rui, who was unconscious behind him, he could only turn around and lead hundreds of soldiers to the Wuwei army quickly.
"General Cao, it's already in a hurry at this moment! The Shu army is coming towards Your Majesty, you quickly lead the Wuwei Army to protect Your Majesty to break through, here I will break the queen! Man Pet said eagerly. Originally, Sun Li planned to break the queen, but after he died in battle, the only one left after the break was the governor of the current dynasty, which couldn't help but make people sigh. There was no way to do it, the Wei army was already in chaos and could no longer find organized troops to organize resistance. The only recourse at the moment is the loyal Guards. As long as he can escort Cao Rui to break through safely, he may have a day to make a comeback.
"Governor, how can this work! You are the pillar of the country, what should you do without the Metropolitan Governor Dawei? If Your Majesty wakes up and asks, I will die a thousand deaths! If you want to stay, I will stay behind! Cao Shuang was also enthusiastic at the moment, and said awe-inspiringly. In fact, the Wuwei army is not optimistic, and has been hit by the Shu army many times, in addition to Cao Shuang, Cao Zhao and other Cao relatives, the Shu Protector Xiahou Ba, the partial general Xiahou Wei and other brothers have been scattered.
"Oops, there's no time, the Shu army has already been killed!" In a hurry, he directly drew his sword and crossed his neck, "If you don't leave, I will die in front of you!" Come on! In fact, Man Chong knew in his heart that he, the governor of the Eastern Expedition, was to blame. Rather than going back to be pointed out by a thousand people, it is better to die on the battlefield, so I am determined to die.
Cao Shuang and the others were stunned for a moment, tears blurred everyone's eyes, and after a while, Cao Shuang lowered his head and shouted, "The tiger and leopard ride to stay and protect the governor." The Tiger Guard Infantry Army will follow me to protect Your Majesty to break through the siege and go! ”
Cao Shuang looked back at Man Chong as he walked, "The Metropolitan Governor cherishes, come and join us as soon as you get rid of the Shu army, we are waiting for you!" ”
When Liu Ye passed by, he looked at Man Pet, and his heart was mixed, he knew that Man Pet would not be able to go back this time. Although there were disputes with Man Chong along the way, they were all for the country and the public, and the two had no personal grudges, on the contrary, Liu Ye sometimes admired Man Chong's courage and strength on the battlefield.
Liu Ye and Man Pet glanced at each other and nodded heavily. Take care, sir, the country of Dawei depends on you, and the full favor will go first.
After seeing that Cao Shuang and the others had already walked away, Man Chong put down the sword on his neck and lowered his head and sighed. When I looked up again, I already looked resolute. "Tiger and leopard ride, come with me!" Quickly lead the cavalry into formation.
The Xiliang cavalry of the Shu army followed Meng Shu's guidance and took the lead in killing them, and they were greeted by a group of majestic, black-clothed and black-armored heavy cavalry. Man Favor slowly came out of the formation, "I am the Governor of the Great Wei Kingdom, who dares to come and fight me to the death!" The sound was so loud that the horses of the Shu army were frightened and kept neighing.
"Kill the full pet first, and then take Cao Rui's dog's life!" One of the Shu soldiers came out of the horse, and it turned out to be the rebellious general Dai Ling. Dai Ling and Guo Huai surrendered together, and because their relatives were executed, they also had a deep hatred for Cao Rui.
"General Dai be careful!" Jiang Wei still wanted to stop it, but Dai Ling had already rushed out of the battle formation with a gun.
"Yikes!" Full of pets shouted angrily and patted the horse to fight.
Full of pets has been in battle for a long time, and he has long regarded death as home, and the more he fights, the more courageous he becomes, exuding a fierce aura all over his body. After a few rounds of fighting, Man Pet suddenly shouted, "Look at the move!" He turned around and stabbed Dai Ling hard in the heart. Dai Ling was distracted by the sudden shouting, and he couldn't stop it, and was stabbed off his horse by a shot, struggling a few times and breathing.
"Good! Good! Good! The tiger and leopard rider behind the pet burst into cheers, and their morale was greatly boosted.
The Shu army was shocked, but he didn't expect that Manpet could have such combat power at a critical juncture.
Jiang Wei stared closely at Man Pet and the tiger and leopard rider behind him, and waved his hand to signal everyone to stop attacking. The tiger and leopard rider is the elite of the world, and the casualties are too great. After a while, Jiang Wei had an idea, and ordered the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to take off his war horse and cavalry heavy armor, and go into battle lightly. The Xiliang cavalry quickly dispersed, surrounded the tiger and leopard cavalry from the outside, and constantly attacked from a distance with cavalry crossbows and javelins. The tiger and leopard cavalry caught up, the Xiliang cavalry retreated, the tiger and leopard cavalry turned back, and the Xiliang cavalry came up to attack and harass. This is exactly how the Youhe Sudden Cavalry dealt with the Heavy Armor Xiliang Iron Cavalry before! Because the tiger and leopard cavalry is heavily armored, it can't catch up with the Xiliang cavalry, but its own armor can't withstand the impact of multiple rounds of arrows and crossbows and javelins, so it is repeatedly consumed, and soon the tiger and leopard cavalry will be exhausted, and there is not much left.
Although Jiang Wei has the intention of surrendering the tiger and leopard ride, he also understands in his heart that the tiger and leopard ride has been following Cao Wei since the Cao Cao era, and after three generations, it can be said that he is loyal and unswerving. It is impossible to surrender!
Jiang Wei sighed, turned to look at Meng Yu, and drew his sword to signal to attack. Meng was ordered to lead the war elephants towards the remaining tigers and leopards. The tiger and leopard rider was too tired to run, and he did not avoid it, and rushed straight towards the war elephant. The war elephants were huge in size, and in an instant, they knocked the tiger and leopard cavalry off their horses, or trampled them into flesh, or threw them into the air and fell to the ground to their deaths, and the battle was tragic and bloody.
Since then, the first elite unit of the Three Kingdoms, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which has dominated the world for more than 30 years, has completely disappeared in the long river of history with the tragic ending of the identity of the broken queen and the annihilation of the whole army.
Only the last person left is full of favors.
Full of favor and laughing, "Life has been fifty years old, I am more than fifty years old, I have enjoyed all the glory and wealth, and I am a very good minister, what do I have to regret?" Today there is only death. As a soldier, to be able to die on the battlefield is to die a well-deserved death, fast, fast! Then he turned to face the east and shouted, "Your Majesty, may the Great Wei Kingdom be prosperous and prosperous, and the minister will go first!" After saying that, he killed himself with a sword.
Jiang Wei and the others bowed their heads to the favored corpse. Wei also has loyal ministers and good generals!
Ma Dai, the general of Zhenbei, looked into the distance and said: "Cao Rui shouldn't have gone far, and it should be too late to pursue now!" ”
Jiang Wei shook his head, "That's it, the art of war, don't chase after the poor, if you fall into an ambush, the gains outweigh the losses." Besides, there are more important things at the moment, there are still hundreds of thousands of Wei troops here, although it is no longer a climate, it must be surrendered as soon as possible, and if it is too late, it will change! ”
Ma Dai nodded thoughtfully, "This time it's cheaper than Cao Rui, and next time it's not so lucky." But I think he's choking enough, hahaha, I heard that he was vomited blood by the majority of the governors, and he may not be long dying, so let him fend for himself! ”
Jiang Wei was just about to withdraw his troops, when he heard Zhuge Liangmingjin's order to withdraw his troops, it seemed that the two of them really had a good heart, and everyone admired Jiang Wei even more.
After a day of fierce fighting, in the evening, the Shu army finally took full control of the situation and began to clean up the battlefield. The remaining 100,000 Wei troops were exhausted, killed or wounded, and surrendered one after another.
During the Three Kingdoms period, the largest decisive battle on the plain ended in a complete victory for the Shu army.
Since the siege of the Five Roads, Shu Han has lost the general Guan Xing, the left guard army Du Xin Zhonglang general Ding Xian, the rear guard army Zhonglang general Guan Yan, the partial general Du Yi, the rebellious general Dai Ling, in addition to the Tiger Prison Pass killed more than 10,000 soldiers, although a large number of killed and wounded enemy troops in the decisive battle of Luoyang, their own losses are not small, before and after or dead or wounded, a total of 50,000 casualties and horses. This is also a big trauma for the narrow and sparsely populated Shu Han. However, fortunately, Shu Han obtained the initiative in the future war through the decisive battle of Luoyang, and completely gained a firm foothold in Luoyang, and no longer had to worry about Cao Wei's counterattack. At the same time, he also obtained a large number of Wei soldiers as a soldier supplement, Zhuge Liang screened and eliminated hundreds of thousands of soldiers, in addition to the reservation of the secluded and sudden cavalry into the system, another 50,000 elite soldiers were selected, and the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled, unwilling to be soldiers, all returned to the township. This move not only supplemented the high-quality soldiers, but also won the hearts of the people for Shu Han in the Central Plains. The people cheered and cheered, eating pot pulp, and looking forward to the king's master. It can be said that killing two birds with one stone, everyone admires Zhuge Liang's clever move.
As for the Wei State, the 150,000 Eastern Crusade army was almost completely wiped out, and only a few thousand Tiger Guard infantry escorted Cao Rui to flee in disarray. This is equivalent to abandoning the Central Plains in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, but this is also a helpless move, the Central Plains troops have been exhausted due to the Eastern Expedition, and there is no spare strength to resist the Shu army. The governor of the Wei army, the governor of the Chinese army, Sun Li, the governor of the left capital of the former army, Zhu Ling, and the army Jia Chong and Cheng Wu, were killed in battle. Tian Yu, the right governor of the front army, Chen Tai and Chen Qian, the left and right governors of the rear army, Xiahou Ba, the partial general Xiahou Wei, and Sima Xiahou and Xiahou Hui were all captured. Hundreds of other lieutenants were killed or captured. In addition to the previous four-way siege army, in addition to Sima Fu and Sima Wang father and son in the north, Lu Qian and Liu Shao in the southeast attacked the Luoyang checkpoint in vain and returned, and the loss was not large, the leading general of the Pujin ferry in the northwest Xiahou Xian was killed in battle, and the cavalry general Qin Lang and Shaofu Yang Fu were only spared, and only three or four thousand remnants of the 40,000 army remained. At the foot of the Qinling Mountains in the southwest Hanzhong, the 20,000 troops of Shangyong Taishou Shen Yi were annihilated, and Shen Yi committed suicide in fear of crime. It can be said that except for the Jingyang Theater, which has not yet participated in the war because of the defense of Eastern Wu, there are few soldiers left in the Wei State that can fight. Since then, after several months, the siege of Luoyang by the Wei Five-Way Army was declared a failure, and Cao Wei lost more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, including the world-famous elites such as the Youhe Raider and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, and the strategists and soldiers were also lost. More importantly, Xuchang was lost, the guards were full and Xu Yi was killed in battle, the Yan king Cao Yu fled in a hurry, a large number of Chinese Wu Gongqing, including the Wei prince Cao Fang, and the families of the generals were captured, the Wei imperial court system was basically empty, and Cao Wei's decrees were no longer passable in the Central Plains.
Since then, the situation in Wei and Shu has been reversed, and only time is left for Wei.
