Chapter 1216: Bloody Battle and Cool Thirty-Six
In late May, the summer began to begin, the weather began to get hot, and the cold wind carried the heat, at this time, suddenly a secret letter from Luoyang, under the urgency of the ghost soldier 800 li, was quickly sent to the Wei army camp in Qishan.
This recall secret letter written by Cao Cao suddenly made the main general Pang De become shocked.
"How so?"
On the hill, a gentle breeze blew Pound's face, and he looked at the secret letter in his hand with hesitant eyes.
He never imagined that the Wei Dynasty had planned for more than half a year, and the Xiliang War, which intended to use this battle to turn over, would be completely defeated so quickly.
The Longyou battlefield was completely annihilated, and Zhang Ren had been killed.
On the battlefield of Jieting, Ma Chao and Sima Yi were also surrounded by the Wu army, and now their lives and deaths are uncertain, and it is still unknown whether they can fight a heavy encirclement.
"Heaven is dead, my Great Wei!"
Such a good situation suddenly made the Wei army fall to the bottom, and Pang De couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
The front line has been defeated, so what is the point of their troops and horses defending Qishan?
Pound's face was pale and bloodless, and his mood suddenly became desperate.
"Is there still hope for the Great Wei Dynasty?"
Pound looked at the blue sky and white clouds and asked himself.
Maybe there is hope, if the main force can break through, there will be the strength to fight after all.
His heart answered himself.
But the most difficult thing for a person to deceive is himself, and he can't even convince himself of this answer.
He knew very well in his heart that once he lost this battle, the Great Wei Dynasty finally condensed a breath of vitality that had been completely consumed, and the next defeat was just a struggle, and he could no longer see the future of Great Wei.
"Retreat!"
Pound, who pondered for a long time before he woke up from his thoughts, naturally made the first decision to retreat: "This battle has been lost, I must return to Chang'an, hold Chang'an, there is hope!" ”
He immediately returned to the barracks to prepare for the withdrawal of the army.
"General Dian Tu, we must withdraw our troops immediately!" Pang De looked at this Qiang general, and said in a deep voice: "You prepare immediately, we will pull out the camp overnight and return the same way!" ”
"Retirement?"
Dian Tu frowned: "Why? ”
"I will personally analyze the matter with you when we return to Chang'an, but now we must withdraw the troops, I am afraid that if we don't withdraw the troops, we will not be able to leave!" Pang De didn't want to affect the morale of the army, so he didn't say the matter, what he had to do now was to bring this group of soldiers and horses back to Chang'an completely.
However, things have gone in a direction he could not have predicted.
"We're surrounded?"
In the camp, the generals listened to the scout report that suddenly came in, and they all looked stunned, and Pang De was also a little dumbfounded, looking at the report of the scout in front of him, a little incredulous.
"General, Xiabiancheng has been stationed by the Thirteenth Army of the Wu Army, the northeast direction of Qishan has also been blocked by the Huangzhong Yicong of the Qiang people's soldiers and horses, and the Fourteenth Army of the Wu Army in the west has pressed on Qingluo Mountain!"
The scout soldier bowed his head on one knee and said word by word.
"Map!" Pound calmed down.
"In!"
"What a Wu Jun, he was waiting to set me up!"
Pound looked at the directions marked on the marching map, his face was unusually ugly, surrounded on three sides, and it was impossible to escape: "A certain family is still too negligent!" ”
As soon as the Fourteenth Army of the Wu Army appeared in Qingluo Mountain, he should have come to his senses.
But at that time, it was still a fluke, thinking that the Wu army had just been partial to the army, and it was a rout of the Longyou battlefield alive, but in hindsight, he didn't realize that the original Wu army had opened a pocket, and the encirclement had already circled itself.
"Huang Zhong Yicong?"
Standing beside Pang De, the Qiang general Dian Tu heard this, and a pair of tiger eyes inadvertently crossed a fierce color: "After Beigong Boyu died in battle, we Qiang people no longer have Huangzhong righteousness, where did Huangzhong righteousness come from?" ”
"This is a recently formed Qiang army!"
Pound knew about it.
However, what he didn't expect was that Zhang Ren and Sima Yi worked hard and did not hesitate to take the weapons and grain of 100,000 soldiers, and the elite they formed actually became the soldiers and horses of the Wu army.
It seems that the Longyou battlefield is not a defeat, but the annihilation of the whole army.
He looked at Dian Tu's gloomy and uncertain face, calmed down, and analyzed softly: "At the beginning, General Zhang Ren, who was guarding Longyou, had weak troops, so he went to the imperial court, dispatched 100,000 grain and grass weapons, and equipped dozens of Qiang tribe warriors led by Xian Lingqiang and Burning Dangqiang, and rebuilt Huangzhong Yicong!" ”
"Can Bai Ma Qiang participate?" Dian Tu's eyes sank.
"The elites of the White Horse Qiang are all here with you, but your old leader has also sent some young men scattered around, which can be regarded as a mix!" Pang De squinted his eyes slightly and sighed: "I just didn't expect that they actually surrendered to Soochow!" ”
"Who's the leader?" Dian Tu asked again.
"It should be Beigong Luo!" Pound thought for a moment and added: "But it may also be a delusion!" ”
"It can't be Beigong Luo!"
When Dian Tu heard this, a touch of battle flashed in his pupils, and he said with a sneer: "Beigong Luo is just relying on the prestige left by Beigong Boyu, he can't suppress the Qiang warriors at all, and those who surrender to Dongwu must be a delusion, the leader of Lingqiang first, this person is my white horse Qiang's strong enemy, a martial arts is still above a certain family, a strong and unrivaled Qiang people!" ”
"If they surrender, will you surrender?"
Pang De's eyes suddenly sharpened, staring at Dian Tu's square face, and asked directly.
The generals in the camp were also silent.
A pair of eyes looked at Dian Tu's face, and they were all a little nervous.
When Dian Tu heard this, he didn't answer, but his face was ugly and he fell silent.
"I don't know!"
After half a ring, he replied with a wry smile: "Huangzhong Yicong is a banner of the Qiang people, since they have surrendered to Dongwu, that is, most of the tribes of the Qiang people have also surrendered to Dongwu, Baima Qiang cannot become a lone traveler of the Qiang people, and there are still wolf and Qiang warriors among us, I may not be able to suppress them, the most important thing is the current situation, we are surrounded on three sides, and we can only surrender if we can't fight!" ”
"Dian Tu, the other Qiang people can surrender, but can you? The Baimaqiang tribe is now tied to our Great Wei, do you think that if you raise troops to surrender to Dongwu at this time, will they come to you to open the knife and make an example of the monkeys! ”
A slight sneer rose at the corner of Pang De's mouth, and he said: "For Dongwu, it is enough for the Qiang tribe to have a mystery, do they still need to support you?" You have no use value for Soochow, and you have been embarrassed by them many times, how can they let you go. ”
Hearing this, Dian Tu clenched his fists slightly, and his face was pale.
I have to admit that what Pang De said was like a sharp arrow, penetrating his mood, the Baimaqiang tribe and Cao Wei were too close, he had no way to retreat at all, and let Mi Dang seize the opportunity to take down Baimaqiang and unify the Qiang tribe, and he would die left and right.
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"Report to the general, in the northeast of Qishan, there is a Qiang envoy who asks to see General Dian Tu!" Captain Yuanmen arched his hand and said.
"Dian Tu, now is the time for you to make a choice!"
When Pang De heard this, his expression was calm, but his heart had been raised high, and he was ready to go, once Dian Tu really chose to surrender, he would kill Dian Tu first at all costs.
In the camp, the Qiang generals and the Wei generals began to stand in two columns slightly, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Nope!"
Dian Tu took a deep breath, and his eyes flashed with a decisive light: "Any Qiang envoy asks to see a certain family, and a certain family is not seen, you tell them on behalf of a certain family that I have decided to live and die with General Pang De!" ”
"Yes!"
The captain of Yuanmen left the hill and went to reject the Qiang envoy.
The generals in the camp also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Pang Lingming, I won't surrender, but I won't go to war with Huangzhong Yicong, my soldiers are all Qiang soldiers, they won't attack Huangzhong Yicong!"
Dian Tu looked at Pang De and said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, I won't let you go to war with Huang Zhongyicong!"
Pound smiled slightly, and the qi in his body became calm.
More than 40,000 main forces in the hands of Dian Tu are his most elite soldiers and horses, if Dian Tu chooses to surrender, he doesn't have to fight, this battle has already been lost, and in the end he can only kill himself.
"General, now that we are surrounded on three sides, how should we wait?"
After stabilizing the interior, the generals began to seek survival, and they gathered around, looking at Pound with attacking eyes and asking.
"Breakout!"
Pound replied simply, his cold face crossed a decisive color, and said lightly: "Since we are surrounded, then we must break through!" ”
"Where do you break through?"
"Northwest direction!"
Pang De's big hand clapped in the northwest direction: "There is the thirteenth army of the Wu army in the east, and the righteousness of Huangzhong, and the fourteenth army of the Wu army in the southwest, but the northwest is empty!" ”
"General, the northwest is the main battlefield!" It was Pang Rou, the general of the Wei army, who was also Pang De's brother, he was Pang De's confidant, and he was a person who knew the situation of the Xiliang War, he walked up, lowered his voice, and said: "And the situation is unknown, if our army has been defeated, won't we just throw ourselves into the net?" ”
"Death and life!"
Pound said categorically: "With heavy troops in the east, it is impossible to return the same way, and this is our only way to live." ”
――――――――――――――――
To the southeast of Qishan Mountain, on a plain, a brand-new military camp rises.
This is the military camp of the Qiang army Huangzhong Yicong, after Huangzhong Yicong surrendered to Dongwu, Mi Dang personally led tens of thousands of elites from Minshan into Bashu, and then went north from Bashu to Wudu, and finally stationed here, far away in the direction of Qishan.
"Missing?"
Mi Dang looked at Oh He, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were a little fierce and cold: "What is Dian Tu thinking now, does he want to take tens of thousands of his clansmen to be buried with Cao Wei?" ”
"Great leader, now Dian Tu doesn't want to see us, which means that he has to resist to the end!" Oh He arched his hand and said: "It seems that we can't complete the task of surrendering!" ”
"Prepare for war!"
Mi Dang shouted: "Since Dian Tu wants to kill himself, I will kill him personally!" ”
"Great Chief!"
He was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "This is not appropriate, didn't Wu Jun say that we are responsible for blocking and persuading us to surrender, and we don't need to send troops to attack, after all, they are our Qiang people!" ”
"It's because they are our clansmen, we do it, it's better than Wu Jun's hands, at least we can keep the prisoners, if Wu Jun makes a move, they will kill all of them, and no one will be left, we can only watch them die in battle!"
Mi Dang's face became resolute: "It's okay for Dian Tu to die, but I can't watch tens of thousands of Qiang warriors kill themselves!" (To be continued.) )
