Chapter 377: Cross-Strait Attack
At this time, on the sentry tower in the Shu Han military camp, the sergeant saw a large number of torches moving towards the river bank in the enemy camp in the distance, and hurriedly came down to report to Ge Liang.
The darkness of the night was also good, and the light of the fire in the distance became clearer.
The ships of the Wei army had already crossed two groups of soldiers, and just as the third group of men and horses were about to rush to board, the Shu army rushed out of the camp and launched an assault on the Wei camp.
Xu Shu led five thousand foot soldiers, holding shields and torches, and rushed towards the Wei camp with a loud shout, shouting as he rushed: "Brothers of the Wei army, surrender quickly!" Cao Zhen and Sima Yi don't care about your life or death, they run first! It's better to surrender quickly, it's important to save your life! ”
This is both right and wrong, Sima Yi pretended to be sick and crossed the river first, while Cao Zhen was commanding all the crossbowmen in the camp to wait for the enemy's attack.
He has lost fifty or sixty thousand horses, lost his brother Xiahou Ba, and has ten thousand people left, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will bring them all home safely.
Seeing a large number of enemy torches pouring towards this side, and these guys were still full of nonsense, Cao Zhen bit his lips, but still patiently let the sergeants open their strings and wait, until the enemy had rushed to the front of the camp twenty or thirty paces, and then gave an order, ten thousand arrows were fired.
"Ahh "Ahh "Ahh
I only heard the screams continuously, and the rushing Shu army hurriedly lay down behind the big shield, but there were still many figures swaying there, even if under the reflection of the firelight, it could be seen that they had been hit by several arrows, but they insisted on not wanting to fall.
The Wei army was stunned. Oh my God, there are still such people who are not afraid of death?
Cao Zhen was also horrified, this enemy is too tenacious, right? Hurriedly beckoned the crossbowmen around him to concentrate on shooting at those figures who were still shaking.
I don't believe there are people in this world who can't shoot to death!
The torches were still dancing, and the swaying figures had been shot into hedgehogs, faintly visible by the light of the fire, and some were even shot through the head by arrows, but they were still shaking, and their mouths were still screaming.
"It can't be!" Cao Zhen couldn't help but scream, even if it was a tiger, he was killed by an arrow back then.
The crossbowmen were so stunned that they almost forgot to continue to open their crossbows.
"Ahh "Ahh "Ahh
The enemy who did not fall was still screaming, but Cao Zhen slowly heard it, and the scream was actually not miserable, and it seemed to be a little proud.
"Light the rocket!" Cao Zhen figured it out, these immortal guys are not human beings at all!
Sure enough, a rocket was fired, and almost all of the enemies who were shaking and holding on fell to the ground at once, and most of them were on fire, and the enemy soldiers began to exclaim: "Oh no, no, it's not good, it's lit, alas, it's burning me!" Help me! ”
Hearing the sound of the enemy's banter, Cao Zhen roared angrily: "Don't pretend to be a ghost here!" ”
The enemy immediately became much quieter, and after a while, someone began to shout: "Who is on the other side?" It can't be Lord Cao Zhen, the general of the expedition to the west, right? ”
Cao Zhen dared to admit: "It's me Cao Zhen!" Who are you, why don't you dare to come out and speak openly? What are you doing all day long and pretending to be a ghost? ”
"You're stupid to me!" The other party replied very quickly, "I know that you have prepared a large number of arrows, so many archers are waiting for us, and we are still strong, isn't that looking for death?" However, you have prepared so many arrows, you have to let them finish them, otherwise it will be too unkind? That's why we've prepared a lot of straw men for you to shoot. ”
Another person answered: "So we have to keep screaming, so that you can show that you are right, and you can shoot happily!" ”
Tricks and mockery like this? Cao Zhen and the archers were going crazy.
But they didn't finish yet, and continued to shout: "I said Wei Jun brothers, shoot quickly, don't stop in your hands." Hurry up and finish shooting the arrows, go to the river and grab the boat to cross the river, if it's too late, you won't be able to run away. ”
There are also people in the Wei army who want to shout to cheer up their own people: "Don't scream here, if you have a kind of really rush over!" ”
"No hurry, no hurry, we can wait slowly." The other side replied easily, "But, brothers Wei Jun, you can't afford to wait." You may not know it, but we have already crossed the Yellow River from Tongguan with 100,000 troops and slaughtered from the other side to this Pusaka ferry. If you don't hurry away, you won't be able to cross the river if you have a boat, and you will have to wait for death when you cross the river. ”
As soon as these words came out, the Wei soldiers behind the palace immediately became a mess, if the enemy had already arrived in Hedong, what were they still here to resist and cover?
"Don't listen to the enemy's nonsense, give me arrows!" Cao Zhen found out that he had made a mistake again, didn't he say a long time ago not to quarrel with the enemy?
However, it was not only the enemy who annoyed him, Guo Huai had already sent someone to find Cao Zhen, saying that the sergeants crossing the river were all in chaos, and they were all rushing to board the boat, and the scene was completely out of control.
Cao Zhen hurriedly pulled the people aside, this matter must not let these archers know, the enemy has already arrived at the gate of the camp, if they are also chaotic and unwilling to resist, the enemy will rush up, no one will be able to cross the river at all.
He wanted to cover up the chaos, but the Shu army on the opposite side wanted to let the archers listen to the movement by the river, and they were still noisy just now, but suddenly they were collectively silenced, and even most of the torches were extinguished.
The Wei army could not see the movement of the enemy, but there was still a faint noise, which was the movement coming from the river.
The Wei troops who rushed to cross the river were already crying and screaming, because they saw that a sky-high fire suddenly ignited on the other side of the river!
Wei Yan, who was eager to take the lead, did not take advantage of Hangu Pass, and heard Ge Liang say in Tongguan that he was going to launch a general attack on the enemy tonight, so he had already used all the breath he was holding back to hurry, quickly crossed the river, killed a small number of Wei troops on the opposite bank, and rushed to Pusaka overnight.
When he reached the ferry, he saw in the distance three blazing fires on the other side of the river, and it was Ge Liang who was sending him a message that the enemy had begun to cross the river, and that the west bank was ready to attack with all his troops!
Wei Yan hurriedly led the whole army to launch a strong attack on Sima Yi's subordinates who had just crossed the Yellow River and the Tuntian sergeants sent by Hedong County.
They want to make up for all the records they didn't get in Hangu here!
Sima Yi had just received the letter and had just begun to organize the sergeants to resist, but he was worried about pretending to be sick before, and he still had to rely on his son to convey anything, and the army had just crossed the Yellow River, and they were scattered everywhere at this time, and it was night, so they couldn't organize themselves in a short time.
Cao Zhen, who was commanding the archers in Hexi to block the Shu army, saw that the army was completely discouraged, and at this time, Sima Yi also urgently sent someone over to inform him that Hedong had been attacked by the enemy!
Guo Huai couldn't manage so much, so he sent a few generals over, forcibly pulled Cao Zhen on the horse, and urged him to cross the river east quickly.
All the archers seemed to understand what was going on, and they all turned around and headed for the ferry, who still had the heart to resist for others here?
And the Shu army sentry was also faintly aware of the chaotic fires on the other side, and hurriedly lit the bonfire again to notify their own troops.
When the Shu army got the letter, they suddenly made a noise again, shouted loudly, and rushed towards the Wei army camp.
Cao Zhen was forcibly dragged to the river by the generals, only to see the army rushing in the night, climbing when they saw the boat, and those who had already gotten on the boat were lying on the side of the boat one by one, rowing with both hands, only hating the boat going slowly, only hating that there were too many people on the boat. Seeing that others were still squeezing up, where could they tolerate it, someone pulled out a knife and slashed at those hands that climbed the boat.
"Don't panic, don't mess around!" Seeing that most of the last sergeants could not escape home, Cao Zhen really planned to die by the Yellow River.
He pushed away the generals who were pulling him, drew his knife and shouted to the sergeants: "Now there is the Yellow River in front and the chasing soldiers in the back, it is difficult for everyone to escape, and there is only a desperate battle!" Warriors, it is inevitable that you will die anyway, so it is better to follow me, fight against the water, and seek revenge on the Shu dogs! Kill one, earn one, kill two, earn a pair! ”
After saying that, he swung his knife and turned back to kill him.
Several generals hurriedly rushed up to hold him hard, and reminded him loudly: "General, no one will fight to the death at this time, listen to what the enemy is shouting!" ”
The Shu army had already rushed over, shouting loudly: "Surrender and die, surrender and die!" If you don't want to die, hurry up and shout surrender on the spot! Shout loudly, shout loudly! Otherwise, the black knife and gun will have no eyes! ”
The sergeants, who had no time to get on the boat, had no way to escape, and when they heard the shouts of the enemy, they hurriedly threw down the clamor of the soldiers on the spot and shouted: "I surrender, I surrender!" ”
The enemy is right, in this darkness, people can't see clearly, if you surrender softly, people don't hear clearly, you come up with a knife and an arrow, isn't it a blank surrender?
Cao Zhen found that his shouting of killing was almost completely drowned out by the surrender of his own sergeant. Along with this surrender, those who were still a little hesitant also made up their minds and hurriedly shouted.
You have to shout louder than others!
There are really few people who will fight to the death with him, and now Cao Zhen is completely dead, and as soon as the knife in his hand is horizontal, he will wipe it off his neck.
Several soldiers who were pulling him hurriedly tried their best to snatch the knife down.
Cao Zhen had made up his mind to go, and desperately broke free: "You guys don't care about me, leave quickly!" This is my last ......."
Before the word "military order" could be spoken, the back of the head was hit fiercely, and he immediately fainted.
No way, at this time, it doesn't matter what military order you have, several generals worked together to carry Cao Zhen onto the boat, and quickly ordered the sergeant to hold the boat and leave, and cross the river first.
Behind him, the Shu army held torches high, had penetrated the Wei army camp, and swarmed to the ferry, some were busy catching prisoners, and some were still unwilling, looking for boats everywhere, and wanted to chase and kill across the river again. (To be continued.) )
