Chapter 106: The Battle of Xiangyang (3)

Time is quietly passing, and the sun that has poisoned the earth for a day has finally sunk to the horizon. It was getting dark, and the soldiers of the Wu army, who had been nervous all day, were hungry, thirsty, and exhausted. What particularly worried Zhuge Jin was that the large army of the enemy's reinforcement cavalry had not yet revealed the landscape, and had been eyeing the side.

I don't know what the enemy wants, as time passes, the anxiety and uneasiness in the hearts of the soldiers of the Wu army are infinitely magnified, and when this anxiety and uneasiness accumulate to a certain extent. All it takes is a slight pressure from the outside, and this army is in danger of collapsing!

The melancholy in Zhuge Jin's eyes became stronger and stronger. Xiangyang military is Sima Yi's jurisdiction, and the one who led the army to help the full favor must also be Sima Yi, this insidious and cunning opponent, what is he planning?

In the distance, on the horizon.

Wen Qin asked angrily: "Sima Gong, the sky is getting dark, and the enemy army has been deterred by our army, so let's hurry into the city." ”

"Into the city? No! Sima Yi asked disdainfully, and said indifferently: "Your Excellency look at it, Yi breaks the enemy...... Right now! ”

On the field under the city of Xiangyang

The earth was once again shrouded in dark night, and the empty field was like a giant beast with its mouth open, looking greedily and hideously at the Wu army in a group, and the cold fear continued to spread in the hearts of the Wu soldiers. When the time came to midnight, the time for the decisive battle finally came.

The north, east, and west directions simultaneously made loud hooves and killings, and it happened that the dark clouds covered the night, and the wasteland was dark, and the trembling Wu soldiers couldn't see how many cavalry were charging in front of them. The terrified crossbowmen did not even wait for the order to be the first to fire their arrows aimlessly in all directions.

The sound of hooves and killing lasted for half an hour, but the expected charge did not come, when the desolate trumpet sounded ghostly. All the sounds dissipated and became invisible, and there was a dead silence in the wasteland.

In the long dead silence, the foot soldiers who were extremely nervous, as well as the crossbowmen who were unable to raise their arms with their bows and arrows, just wanted to sit down and take a breath, a cavalry of more than 500 Wei cavalry had ghostly appeared on the east side of the Wu army!

When the dull sound of hooves alarmed the outermost Wu soldiers, the iron cavalry of more than 500 horsemen was less than twenty steps away from the Wu army's formation! Like a frightened bird, the Wu soldiers didn't have time to react, and the unstoppable iron cavalry had already cut into the Wu army's formation.

"Roar!"

Wen Yang, who was wearing sharp armor, shouted violently and urged the horse to rush into the Wu army's formation. A heavy silver dragon spear flew up and down, like a tyrannical white dragon, setting off a bloody storm in the Wu army's array.

Behind Wen Yang, more than 500 iron horsemen accompanied him like a shadow, rushing forward, causing Wu Bing's bloodshed, panic, and chaos with cold sabers and violent collisions. Then, when the entire Wu army began to fall into panic, nearly 2,000 cavalry led by Sima Yi finally appeared on the periphery of the Wu army.

This time, it's no longer painless harassment.

In the Wu army,

Zhuge Jin roared hoarsely, trying to control the army on the verge of collapse. But soon, he found out sadly. It is simply wishful thinking to let this army from different states and counties, where the soldiers, state and county soldiers, and husbands and servants are mixed together, and they are not even very familiar with each other.

The state and county soldiers and servants have begun to disperse, and only 20,000 elites of the headquarters are still holding their positions, but Zhuge Jin knows very well in his heart that they are also at the end of their strong crossbows, and they can barely support them.

There was nothing to do, Zhuge Jin sighed and gave an order that he hated for the rest of his life: "Withdraw the army and return to the camp!" ”

In this battle, Zhuge Jin was defeated very unjustly. He didn't know until the end that in fact, the enemy reinforcements he faced were only more than 3,000 cavalry! If Zhuge Jin had led the army to fight a decisive battle with him at the beginning, or had withdrawn his troops and returned to the camp, the outcome would have been completely different.

The retreat of the army back to the camp, with the help of the superiority of troops, and the large amount of grain and grass carried by the army, the 3,000 cavalry could not break through the camp of the Wu army at all, and the Wu army was invincible.

It's a pity that Zhuge Jin is not a famous general. Quan Cong and Liuzan, two talented generals, also did not persuade the chief general in time. When Sima Yi's four teams of cavalry suddenly appeared, these Eastern Wu generals made an unforgivable mistake, and actually made 50,000 troops wait for the attack of the four teams of cavalry.

Being led by the nose by the enemy, there is no reason to be invincible!

In the tense and desperate watch, the 50,000 Wu troops exhausted their energy, lost their courage, missed the last chance to win, and the final defeat was inevitable.

In the battle of Xiangyang, Zhuge Jin besieged the city for more than half a month, Sima Yi led 3,000 iron cavalry to arrive, and the Wei cavalry came and went like the wind, virtual and real, advancing and retreating, disturbing 50,000 Wu troops to cope with it and take care of one or the other. The two armies held each other until midnight, the Wei army's morale was like a rainbow, the Wu army was exhausted, the Wei army suddenly launched an attack, and the Wu division was defeated.

Of the 50,000 troops, only more than 10,000 fled back to the public security with Zhuge Jin.

********************

Tongguan

At this time, Tongguan has become a huge barracks, in addition to the Wei Yan Department originally stationed in Tongguan, Zhuge Liang's main force of the Han army and Cao Zhen's 100,000 troops also rushed to Tongguan, nearly 200,000 troops gathered in Tongguan, just the barracks stretched for dozens of miles, such a wide area has naturally become the hunting ground for Han army scouts and Wei army scouts.

Reconnaissance, counter-reconnaissance, espionage, interception, all the time are staged here.

At the same time, more than a dozen Han cavalry were galloping towards the Wei army camp in the eastern suburbs of Tongguan, and the first of the dozens of Han horsemen was holding an envoy's scepter, so the Wei army scouts and rangers along the way did not intercept it, and let them approach the camp, and when there were less than 100 steps away from the Yuanmen, someone finally shouted to stop them.

"Come and stop, go further, kill and kill!"

The first rider raised the scepter in his hand and said proudly: "On the military order of the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, come to issue a war letter!" ”

There was a small commotion in the Wei army in the gate, and then the closed gate was opened, and hundreds of Wei cavalry suddenly surged out like a flood that broke the embankment, and surrounded more than ten Han cavalry outside the gate, and the horses of more than ten Han cavalry were neighed again and again, but the knights on horseback were fearless.
