Chapter 353: Cao Zhen should be damned
Cao Zhen was also completely dead, no longer thinking about whether he could destroy the enemy, and he didn't even think about blocking the enemy, so he just ran towards Chang'an. Fastest updates
He asked Guo Huai to burn down Chencang, anyway, Chang'an was in danger, and the Longyou army had already withdrawn to Guanzhong, and there was no point in defending Chencang anymore.
After he asked Guo Huai to lead the army to break off, he also asked Fei Yao and Xiahou Ba to open the way in front to ensure the rapid and safe evacuation of the army.
When Xiahou Ba and Fei Yao arrived near the county, they were ambushed by Wu Yi's department, fortunately, there were not many enemies, and they were all foot soldiers, and they retreated after fighting for a while, and retreated to the south bank of Weishui.
Cao Zhen asked the former army not to care about those people, because what is even more odious now is that Xu Shu is now leading more than 20,000 people and horses, and Huang Quan is leading more than 10,000 people and nearly 20,000 people, and he has already let go of his steps and is chasing after him.
It really made Ge Liang right, the continuous failure of the Wei army, the sergeants were really disheartened, and the army retreated all the way, not caring about the losses of the rear army and the enemy, and the soldiers who fled on their own were all batch after batch.
Cao Zhen is already exhausted, anyway, he can't stop it at all, most of those people are from Guanzhong, and it is reasonable for them to flee home at this time, and they are familiar with the road.
The situation changed so quickly that when he arrived near the county seat of Wugong, Cao Zhen let the army go around the city, who knows if the county seat betrayed the enemy again last night?
As for Huaili, although there are only a thousand defenders left by Deng Zhi, Cao Zhen will not go to see it at all, and now, maybe only Chang'an, there is still a cautious Xiahou Ru guarding there, so there should be no chaos.
And now in the entire Guanzhong, perhaps only the Chang'an city wall is towering, and the material reserves are abundant, and they can still rely on perseverance to wait for the situation to change.
Xiahou Ba walked in front, he was full of resentment, thinking that he would take the initiative to come to Longyou to fight with the Shu army with passion, and wanted to avenge his father, but now he ended up with such a result.
Is it really like Sima Yi's, it's all my fault, just blame me for being ambushed by Ma Chao once on Changli's side, and then he took the opportunity to enter the pass, and he couldn't clean it up?
At that time, I did feel very guilty, but now that I think about it, I was just a general and vanguard officer, and I only received a few thousand people, plus his special allocation, there were only about 10,000 people, and that battle was only a loss of more than 1,000 people.
If I am negligent for a moment, it will lead to a total defeat, so what do you need you to do in command of me, and what do you want you to do behind me with 20,000 horses?
By the way, damn Sima Yi, didn't you go back to Guanzhong to deal with Ma Chao first, and didn't even care about the life and death of my brother Cao Zhen? Then a few days ago, we were hit twice by Ma Chao's department, and we suffered heavy losses, why didn't we see your shadow?
Well, I just received the news, why did you lead the army to save Tongguan first, in fact, I want to come now, you want to run for your life and go home first!
At this moment, the front probed the horse and reported that there were nearly 1,000 cavalry of their own house, claiming to be Sima Yi's subordinates, who came to meet General Zhengxi.
Oh? I was still scolding you just now, but I didn't expect you to come back to pick us up immediately, and Xiahouba suddenly felt embarrassed again.
"Where are they?" He asked hurriedly.
Tanma returned: "It's not far ahead, we can meet soon." ”
Jiang Wei followed Ge Liang's instructions and led a thousand cavalry to quickly return west, and happened to meet the vanguard led by Xiahou Ba and Fei Yao.
Seeing from a distance that several of the enemy's scout horses had spotted him, he hurriedly sent someone to the back to inform Ge Liang that he was likely to encounter the enemy's army.
Cao Zhen has now also learned to divide the use of troops, no longer mixed infantry and cavalry, and gathered the remaining 3,000 cavalry, and handed them over to Fei Yao and Xiahou Ba to lead the way in front, so that they can engage the enemy on the road, and they can also react quickly, and the concentrated cavalry can also quickly respond everywhere, especially when encountering the enemy's cavalry troops, they can also obstruct it in a roundabout way, so as to facilitate the infantry archers to follow up and use random arrows.
Xiahou Ba saw Jiang Wei and felt very embarrassed: "You are a subordinate of Lord Sima Yi?" Why haven't I seen you before? ”
Jiang Wei looked at the banner and guessed that it was Xiahou Ba, and hurriedly replied: "I was originally from Guanzhong, and I was stationed in Chang'an before, and later went to Longyou with Shangshu and Master She. The general may have come from Jingshi, so it's natural that he hasn't seen it. ”
Xiahouba looked at Jiang Wei's appearance, he really didn't look like a person from the Central Plains, so he should be right to think about it, so he didn't ask anymore.
Fei Yao was suspicious again, and asked, "I've been stationed in Guanzhong for a few years, why haven't I seen you yet?" ”
Jiang Wei had no choice but to reply: "The official is light, and the general didn't take me seriously, so it should be." ”
But in my heart, I was thinking, how did I meet the enemy's 3,000 cavalry head-on? If you don't get past this, you won't be able to run away if you want to.
"The official is light?" Fei Yao still had doubts, "If you can lead nearly a thousand cavalry alone, you are already a general-level person, how can I never see it?" ”
The general smiled. You see, I'm only in my twenties, how can I be a general, I'm just a military marquis. Now the situation in Guanzhong is critical, on the one hand, Lord Shang Shufu wants to urgently recapture Tongguan, on the other hand, he is concerned about the safety of General Zhengxi and all the soldiers, and there is not enough manpower for a while, so he has to temporarily let the acting leader come to respond. Jiang Wei secretly complained, how could he meet these two guys together, and they couldn't be used to deceive people at both ends, it was really troublesome.
He simply turned his heart and asked rhetorically: "When the general sees that I have nearly a thousand men and horses, does he want to suspect that I am pretending to be an enemy?" If the enemy got nearly a thousand of our army's uniforms and horses, and came from Chang'an, wouldn't Chang'an have fallen? ”
It's so terrible, Fei Yao didn't have the heart to ask again.
Jiang Wei said again: "These thousand cavalry, but the only cavalry under the Lord Shang Shu, all of them have been sent to meet the generals, and please don't let down the good intentions of the adults." ”
It seems that Sima Yi does have only a few cavalry left, and Xiahou Ba rushed Fei Yao's head.
"Chang'an is okay now?" Fei Yao hurriedly asked what was important.
"It should be fine. I was on my way to Tongguan and was temporarily sent here. When I came, I passed outside Chang'an City, and there seemed to be no movement. Jiang Wei hurriedly avoided this topic.
"Only these 1,000 cavalry won't make much difference." Xiahou Ba couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, Sima Yi should obey Cao Zhen's dispatch and act in unison, instead of just sending a marquis back with cavalry!
"Alas, a thousand is a thousand, and we suffer from not having concentrated cavalry before." Fei Yao felt that Ma Chao's cavalry was used too well.
Jiang Wei wanted to put them away: "Then, should I go and see General Zhengxi and report to him?" ”
Fei Yao waved his hand: "Forget it, let's just send someone to inform you, there is no need to let a military marquis go to fight General Zhengxi." As soon as you come from the front, turn around and make a way for us. ”
Now that I think my official report is too much, Jiang Wei feels that this matter is really difficult to do.
"Since there is nothing ahead, then let's hurry up and report to General Zhengxi and speed back to Chang'an." Fei Yao was domineering to Xiahou again.
The Wei army picked up speed again, and it was originally very close to Chang'an. Cao Zhen, who was in the Chinese army, had a hanging heart that was about to fall to the ground temporarily, and he even touched his previously injured left arm, which seemed to be about to heal.
Suddenly, from the fields on both sides of the road, three thousand cavalry rushed out from the left, and three thousand cavalry from the right.
The 3,000 cavalrymen on the left, all dressed in Zhuqiang's strange costumes, shouted one by one: "Sima Yi has been captured alive in Xinfeng, and the whole army has been destroyed!" "Cao Zhen should be damned, Cao Zhen should be damned!"
The 3,000 cavalry who rushed out on the right were all wearing the Wei army's own military uniforms, shouting one by one: "Kill, kill!" ”
Hey? Why did the rebels and their own cavalry appear at the same time, but they came from two directions? The Wei army, who was already panicked and eager to flee for their lives, couldn't figure it out.
But on second thought, the own army on the right should be trying to kill these rebellious Qianghus, right? Everyone hurried to get ready, turned to the left, and prepared to meet the rebels.
The cavalry who rushed out on the right also rushed to the Wei army, one by one, they raised their guns and suddenly shouted "Cao Zhen should die", and they killed "their own people".
The Wei army was frightened, and hurriedly ran away, hiding when he saw the horseman, no matter what clothes he was wearing.
When Cao Zhen heard the movement, his left shoulder suddenly hurt again, and he understood that Ma Chao was coming again, so he had to endure the pain again and lead his guards out to meet the enemy.
Fortunately, he had already thought of countermeasures, and at this time he also mobilized a large number of crossbowmen and sent thousands of arrows to meet the enemy cavalry.
Fei Yao and Xiahou Ba, who were in front, heard that the enemy was attacking the Chinese army again, so they quickly turned around and led the cavalry to block the attack.
Alas, the plains in this pass, the terrain is flat, and the cavalry can really come as much as they want, and they can't guard against it.
Looking at Cao Zhen's banner from afar, they hurriedly gathered over, and shouted: "General Zhengxi, we are here!" ”
The crossbowmen were shooting in a hurry, and when they saw another cavalry approaching, they immediately responded with a barrage of arrows.
Zhong Wei was stunned. Xiahou Ba hurriedly shouted: "What's wrong with you, I'm Xiahou Ba!" ”
The crossbowmen remembered to look at the military flag, but it didn't count if they saw it, the enemy just now was also waving our flag, and it only counted when they got close and saw people.
Cao Zhen also blamed Xiahou Ba and Fei Yaolai in a panic: "Isn't it okay, the enemy cavalry is coming, will you bite them?" What are you doing with me? ”
Xiahou Ba realized that he was too concerned about Cao Zhen's safety, so he forgot his previous deployment and hurriedly commanded the cavalry to pursue the enemy.
At this time, mixed among them, nearly a thousand cavalry led by Jiang Wei suddenly attacked, showing their spears one by one, shouting "Cao Zhen should die, Cao Zhen should die", and rushed at the enemy cavalry around him to kill them.
Anyone who doesn't shout "Cao Zhen should die" is an enemy! (To be continued.) )
