CHAPTER 275 Strike while the iron is hot
The Shu army immediately emerged from the darkness and rushed towards the enemy camp with a shout. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Many sergeants struck the scythe and lit the torches in their hands.
The crossbowmen ignited rockets and fired a barrage into the enemy camp.
The other sergeants rushed up one after another, lit their torches, and threw them into the enemy camp.
The sleeping Wei soldiers were awakened, hurriedly got out of the camp tent, and under the leadership of the generals, quickly assembled in the front camp, preparing to block the enemy.
At this moment, Wei Yan's department, which was already lying in ambush behind the enemy camp, took advantage of the panic in the enemy camp and rushed over with a loud shout, charging and killing while setting fire.
"It's over, we are guarding this valley pass, and we are being flanked by the enemy in front and back, where did they come from?" The Wei army, who was desperately resisting in front of the camp, saw that the rear camp was also full of flames, shouting to kill the sky, and suddenly had no heart to resist, and fled one after another.
Wei Yan commanded all the sergeants to charge and kill, while shouting: "Leave all the horses for me!" Leave the horses behind! ”
The Wei generals couldn't care so much, so they led the cavalry around them to leave the sergeants and quickly retreated.
Breaking through the encirclement backwards, it is the Guanzhong Plain, it is easy to rush back to Chang'an, or simply flee home to hide and rush forward, which can only rush to the valley to die!
Wei Yan's army didn't need to rush forward anymore, they just needed to stand there, desperately pull the crossbow machine, and shoot the arrows at the enemy who took the initiative to rush.
The Wei army desperately broke through the siege, constantly rushing forward at the risk of death, anyway, it was impossible to see how many arrows were shooting towards this side in the dark night.
Wei Yan saw that the enemy was getting closer and closer, and the terrain behind him was open, and it was impossible to block them all, so he hurriedly shrank his team and continued to shout: "Leave all the horses for me, leave the horses behind!" ”
Wang Wei would be aware of it, and immediately pulled the long rope in front, and when he saw an enemy army on horseback running over, he hurriedly surrounded it, shook the long rope, stopped the galloping horses, and pulled them to the ground.
The battle did not last long, the enemy soon dispersed, and the soldiers of the Shu army were not familiar with the terrain in the dark night, and they all ran into chaos, and they did not chase to the end.
Wei Yan didn't ask them to chase them to death, but only urged them to gather all the horses quickly.
The fire in the enemy camp gradually decreased, Zhang Wei led the army to rush over, found Wei Yan, and asked happily, "How is it?" How much did you catch? ”
Wei Yan waved his hand: "The enemy was surrounded in front and back, trapped in death, desperately fleeing to Chang'an, there is no need for us to fight with them." ”
Zhang Wei nodded: "Then, let's hurry west?" ”
Wei Yan just asked, "What about your horses that carry grain?" ”
"It's still in the valley, I can't throw all the food away." Zhang Wei didn't expect Wei Yan to ask about the horse transporting grain at this time.
"I've been eating for half a month, how much food is left? Let the rest of the sergeants carry a little each. Wei Yan shouted to the attendants beside him: "Quick, pass my order, unload all the grain, and bring me all the horses!" ”
Zhang Wei stopped and said, "Slow, you don't have to eat?" Besides, there are only a hundred horses in total. ”
Wei Yan asked Wang Wei, "Just now, how many horses did you intercept in total?" ”
"I'm still counting!" Wang Wei was already on the horse, looking at whether someone would lead the horse over in the distance, "Probably, it's only about two hundred horses, I have run a lot, and I can't stop it." ”
"You see," Wei Yan spread his hands towards Zhang Wei, "there are only about two hundred horses in total, and with those horses carrying grain, it is only three hundred." ”
Zhang Wei asked, "What are you going to do with all the horses?" ”
"Haha!" Wei Yan suddenly grinned again, "Zhang Wei, don't say that I am pressing you, now, I will hand over all 10,000 troops to your command!" You see, I'm good enough for you! ”
"Where are you going? Say it! Zhang Wei looked at the battlefield that was still in chaos, and he had to quickly gather the sergeants and prepare for the next move.
Wei Yan smiled: "You and I were brought out by Da Sima, what characteristics does he have when he fights?" It is to seize the opportunity, to attack quickly, chain attack! Now that we have driven away the enemies here, they have fled in all directions to report the news. If we don't act quickly, we will lose a lot of opportunities. ”
Zhang Wei understood: "Do you want to take these three hundred horsemen and go straight to Wugong now, to attack the enemy who is guarding the Wugong Road and guarding the Wugong Road?" That's too presumptuous, isn't it? Only three hundred riders! ”
Wei Yan said: "Three hundred horsemen are three hundred horsemen, if you wait for the army to walk over, the enemy will have already prepared, and the chaos caused at that time is not as good as these three hundred horsemen." ”
Zhang Wei thought about it, if the three hundred horsemen made a fuss, the army behind might make a fuss, and the effect might be better, so he said: "However, you are the main general, you should personally supervise the army, this forward officer, or I will come." ”
"Why are you here again? It's not endless! Wei Yan's voice was very loud, "Now you have to hurry up and stop arguing meaninglessly!" Now, I have put all the army under your command, and you are the governor! ”
Zhang Wei couldn't cry or laugh.
Wei Yan hadn't finished speaking: "Zhang Boqi, we have fought many battles together, and I still believe in you." I'm sure you'll be able to take the army behind you well. ”
Zhang Wei didn't want to be praised by this, so he didn't want to take responsibility for others casually, and asked Wei Yan: "You say, do you want to keep this meridian valley mouth?" ”
Wei Yan tilted his head and thought for a while: "Leave a thousand sergeants to guard this valley mouth, and send another thousand sergeants to pursue in the direction of Chang'an for a day, then quickly retreat, and then let them withdraw from the Meridian Valley." As for you, just take the other sergeants and rush all the way to Luogukou, and then we will all go back from that side. ”
This is okay, anyway, Da Sima has already said that on the appointed day, Wu Yi, who stayed in Fu Luo Road, will also lead the army to continue to advance.
Well? How could it be so coincidental, just like leaving the Meridian Valley for a few more days, Wu Yi also happened to be advancing at this time, could it be that the current situation was also within his estimate?
Wei Yan didn't think about it so much, he just called out loudly, gathered the sergeants he knew, who had already learned to ride in Hanzhong, and at the same time asked others to quickly take out the dry food on their bodies, and take out enough enough for three hundred people to eat for five or six days.
After the hundred horses carrying grain were also gathered, Wei Yan took dry food and set off with three hundred knights.
Zhang Wei shouted: "You left me two horses, if there is something, I can contact you." ”
Wei Yan only turned around and waited for Zhang Weijiao: "Don't worry about me for now, I may have to rush in the direction of Yixian County to scare Cao Zhen'er, who may still be on the slope at this time!" “
Seeing them rushing away, Zhang Wei could only shake his head, quickly gathered the sergeants, collected the short arrows that were shot, ordered a thousand sergeants to go to the direction of Chang'an, and continued to pursue the enemy army that had fled just now, and then led seven thousand sergeants himself, with food on his back, and hurriedly ran to Luogukou overnight.
The battlefield is counted and cleaned, and it is left to the 1,000 soldiers stationed here.
Anyway, in this battle, almost no prisoners were captured. (To be continued.) )
