The battle in Hexi ended quickly, and under the fierce attack of the Shu Han army, the half of Cao Wei's army, which had no time to cross the Yellow River, died and surrendered.

Of course, most of them surrendered and were captured, saving their lives, because in the overwhelming sound of the enemy's urging to surrender, in the surrender of their own family members and horses in a loud response, people can't help but follow the trend.

Cao Zhen, who was knocked unconscious, took a boat to the east bank of the Yellow River under the protection of several generals, and here he had already fallen into a melee.

Fortunately, Wei Yan's men and horses are limited, and the Wei army has already set up a camp here, Sima Yi is hindered by pretending to be sick, and Zhao Yan, the general of Hedong Taishou and Diannong Zhonglang, who led the army, is also a very smart person.

Zhao Yan warned the army that the enemies who crossed the river and attacked must be only a few, otherwise it would be impossible not to get the news in advance. He asked the generals Yin Dai and Wei Ping to gather the troops and not move rashly, and with Guo Huai, Fei Yao and others came to the east bank, they each gathered their subordinates, and together with the elite of the Chinese army sent by Jia Kui, they resolutely resisted.

Since the Wei soldiers had returned to Hedong and were expected to return home, they also firmly believed that as long as they survived tonight, they would survive, so they also obeyed their orders and held their positions.

Wei Yan didn't pay much attention to the situation in Hedong before, and the sergeants were not familiar with the terrain, so after tossing for a while, killing and wounding some enemy troops, it was gradually difficult to make progress.

Alas, if only my four thousand sergeants were on this side of the river at this time. Wei Yan felt deeply sorry, and scolded Huang Quan in his heart, obviously he was only the last person to respond, and he didn't send the 4,000 men and horses to Tongguan earlier!

He ran so fast that he didn't notice that in the distance behind him, Jiang Wei was leading a thousand cavalry to watch the battle from afar.

Jiang Wei was also itching in his heart, but he learned that Wei Yan's offensive had been stopped by the enemy, and his thousand cavalry was not worth much, so he still kept in mind Ge Liang's instructions and hid and did not show up, unless Wei Yan was counterattacked by the enemy, and the situation was critical, this thousand cavalry suddenly rushed out, which could deter the enemy for a while.

Cao Zhen woke up leisurely, didn't know where he was for a while, raised his eyes and saw Guo Huai and others, touched the back of his head that was still painful, and asked, "I...... What's wrong with me? What about the soldiers after the break? ”

Guo Huai hurriedly pleaded: "The situation is critical, I have to withdraw, please forgive me for offending the general." ”

Cao Zhen understood, didn't know what to do, and said to himself in a daze: "It's over, is it all over?" ”

Guo Huai said softly: "No, at least half of them have crossed the Yellow River." ”

"Half? In other words, nearly 5,000 soldiers were left on the other side again? Sixty or seventy thousand horses, only five thousand left? Cao Zhen spoke, looking in a trance.

Sima Yi lay on the bed, couldn't help but move his right hand, and quickly calmed down again, only sighed in his heart, what 5,000 soldiers were thrown on the other side, in addition to your 5,000, I also threw 5,000 on the other side of the river, in addition, the Chinese army and Hedong Tuntian sergeants who came to help, I don't know how many have come back!

If you don't go back earlier, what's the use of regretting it now?

Alas, forget it, since you are back, I can also give an account to the emperor with peace of mind. I'm too lazy to care about anything else.

Zhao Yan's lips moved, just as Yin Wei came into the account, and hurriedly asked, "Has the enemy retreated?" ”

"Didn't retreat, just stopped the attack, only shouted from afar." Yin Jian just breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that only a small number of enemies have crossed the river from the Tongguan side, which is really a blessing in misfortune." Zhao Yan also breathed a sigh of relief, "I heard that the leader is the enemy general Wei Yan?" Didn't that guy say he was in Hangu, how did he get here? ”

Cao Zhen then remembered that before he was knocked unconscious, the Hedong side had already fought with the enemy.

"Have all our boats crossed the river?" Zhao Yan was worried that the enemy on the other side would continue to chase across the river.

This worry is superfluous for the time being, as long as there is a boat, who will not quickly escape back by boat?

Because the enemy situation is unknown, although this is already the territory of Hedong County, Zhao Yan also ordered to temporarily hold the camp, and when the sky is dawn, everyone will retreat together.

Alas, he originally thought that he could send people to hold on to this side of the river to prevent the enemy from crossing the river in the future, but now it seems that it can only be a pipe dream.

Fortunately, it was dawn soon, and Zhao Yan asked Cao Zhen to leave: "General, please go to Pubancheng to rest first, and then cross the river from Shaanxi and Tianjin to Luoyang in the future." ”

Cao Zhen looked disheartened: "Just do what the waiter wants." ”

Zhao Yan was deeply appreciated by Cao Cao and Cao Pi, and there were many official titles on his head.

"Since only a small force of the enemy is coming across the river, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the enemy's army is still separated from the river, and quickly concentrate the forces to annihilate this group of enemies, otherwise, this ferry will be robbed by the enemy again, and what is the use of guarding Pusaka City?" Guo Huai saw that Cao Zhen had no idea, and hurriedly put forward his own suggestion.

This general Zhengxi looks like he is lost and depressed, it can't be that a few of his own people shot too hard and beat him stupid.

Zhao Yan glanced at Guo Huai, thinking that it would be good for this newly defeated army to hold the camp, and still expect them to counterattack immediately?

Guo Huai still insisted: "It's definitely a small group of enemy troops." In this war, those guys always advance lightly, never willing to fight tough battles, and always intersperse to create chaos to profit from it. This Wei Yan must have been alone in a hurry to rush to Hangu, and when he encountered the resolute resistance of our army, seeing that it was unprofitable, he hurriedly crossed the river and rushed to this ferry to harass him. We can't always be pinned down by the enemy like this. General, now that the Yellow River is in danger of blocking the enemy's army, and we no longer have to worry about being manipulated by the enemy, we should destroy the enemy's advance and contain the enemy's attack. ”

The generals were silent, Guo Huai was right, they had already lost the entire Yongliang area, and when they arrived at the border of Hedong, it was already Sili District, and there was the Yellow River in front of them, so they didn't organize resistance, and they only thought about retreating?

"Then please ask Lord Yongzhou Assassin and the generals to lead the army to hold the ferry and annihilate the enemy crossing the river with all their might." Zhao Yan actually hopes so.

He just wanted to persuade Cao Zhen and Sima Yi to go back to the city to rest first, this one was stupid, the other was paralyzed, stay here and let everyone worry about it.

Guo Huai glanced back at Zhao Yan with a little resentment, Yongzhou is gone, you don't want to open which pot, if this ferry is lost, you will soon be like me!

Fortunately, they didn't have to rush to argue first, as soon as it was dawn, Wei Yan led the army to approach the camp to challenge.

He already knew that Jiang Wei was still behind, he had no worries, and it was already dawn, so he could act at the opportunity.

"Fight back with all your might!" Cao Zhen seemed to come back to his senses.

"Fight back with all your might!" After seeking Sima Yi's opinion, Wei Ping led his army out of the camp.

"Fight back with all your might!" They are all killed at my doorstep, and of course Zhao Yan wants to drive the enemy out.

And the remaining elite of the Wei army, but they have fought with Wei Yan in Hangu, they feel that that guy is nothing more than that, and he is charging forward at the moment, so he must teach this arrogant man a good lesson.

All the Wei troops rushed out, full of grief and indignation, and they all retreated here, and you still chased after them, and let people live?

"You useless things, have all retreated to the east of the river, and are you still in the camp and don't dare to come out? In this case, it is better to surrender to me, Lord Wei Yan, earlier, and live your own life in peace! Wei Yan was shouting outside the enemy camp, using this to stimulate the enemy to come out and fight.

When he saw that the enemy's army was crowding out, and it was estimated that there were still more than 20,000 horses, he was a little dumbfounded, why were there so many left? Didn't this big Sima fight on the other side of the river?

He didn't know that Hedong County had poured out of the nest this time, and almost all the troops, including Sergeant Tuntian, had rushed to this ferry.

The general situation was not good, Wei Yan hurriedly ordered the army to release arrows, shoot down a batch first, and then speak.

Guo Huai and the others commanded the army to brave the arrow, vowing to get back all the grievances they had suffered before on Wei Yan!

"Hahaha! Come on, come after me! Wei Yan didn't dare to fight hard, and ordered the army to retreat quickly, but he was unwilling to admit defeat.

Don't you chase and let you run around in the east of the river? Zhong Wei didn't want this and chased after him.

Wei Yan broke out in a cold sweat, how could these guys who had just suffered a big defeat be so fierce? Jiang Wei, you kid have to rush out at the right time.

After retreating for a while, Jiang Wei really led the cavalry to rush out from the side, shouting: "You have been tricked, our 100,000 army is waiting for you here!" ”

The pursuing Wei army hurriedly stopped his footsteps and turned around to retreat.

"Don't panic, this is just a suspicious soldier deliberately laid by the enemy, and not many of them can cross the river!" Guo Huai led the army to meet the head and urged the army to continue to move forward.

He was fed up with anger in Chen Cang, and he also saw that thousands of enemies dared to die and intersperse inside, and he expected that Wei Yan would be nothing more than this at this time. This is no better than Chen Cang, he doesn't have such scruples, he wants to find Wei Yan for revenge today!

Jiang Wei didn't expect that the enemy's courage in Hedong would suddenly become much bigger, and seeing that the scare didn't have much effect, he had to retreat quickly.

Wei Yan, who had just retreated, turned around and killed him again, shouting loudly: "Brothers of the Wei army, you have been fooled!" Caught in our ambush! Hurry up and run home to save your life! ”

Jiang Wei collided with Wei Yan head-on and reminded him: "It's useless!" The enemy is not afraid of my suspicious soldiers, so you don't have to cooperate here, so quickly withdraw first. The enemy, fearing that our army on the other side of the river would pursue us across the river, did not dare to pursue us too far. ”

"Turn around and kill back, and make a great contribution today!" Wei Yan didn't explain, and the horse passed by him.

Jiang Weileng, what is this for? Do you really want to fight to the death? Don't!

"Kill!" Wei Yan's army took the lead one by one, and it didn't look like they were trying to scare the enemy.

Immediately, the cavalry who followed Jiang Wei across the river also quickly turned their horses and killed them, and shouted happily: "Kill! The hussar general has come to kill! Our army has slain! ”

Jiang Wei hurriedly looked up and looked into the distance, and really saw Ma Chao's banner.

Five or six thousand iron horsemen rolled in, raising a cloud of dust. (To be continued.) )
