Chapter 1215: Bloody Battle and Cool Twenty-Five
This sudden fierce battle on the outskirts of Jieting South City came and went quickly, and after the main force of the Wei army led by Sima Yi successfully entered Jieting, Ma Chao naturally had no intention of continuing to fight.
He originally held Ju Yi's main force in order to meet Sima Yi, and since Sima Yi had already led his troops to join the division, he collected his troops and returned to the city on the spot.
"Ju Yi, in today's battle, we will win or lose, and we will fight again in the future!"
This war horse is incisive.
At the same time, this made him have to sigh in his heart, there are so many warriors in the Wu army, Huang Zhong and Ju Yi can fight with him on a par with him, and it is already conceivable that Huang Zhong Ju Yi is still strong enough for Zhao Yun and Lu Bu.
I'm not afraid of him.
On the contrary, he was a little excited, he had learned how strong Lu Bu was, and he really wanted to understand how strong his brother-in-law, Zhao Zilong, known as the god of war of Eastern Wu, was.
"Someone is waiting!"
Ju Yi looked at Ma Chao's distant back, and did not continue to pursue the victory, and began to collect troops and return to the camp in front of the two armies.
"Why didn't General Sima save us?"
"The general is going to give up on us?"
"It turns out that we have become outcasts, and we are waiting to fight for the Great Wei, and we have fallen into such a situation, sad!"
"Let's fight our way out!"
"There are Wu troops all around, we can't fight at all, what should we do?"
“……”
On the battlefield on the southwest side of the outskirts of Jieting, tens of thousands of Wei soldiers and horses that had been abandoned by Sima Yi were panicking at this moment, they were like headless flies scurrying around, but they were surrounded by layers of dense Wu army soldiers.
After the forces of the three armies of the Wu army surrounded them, they did not immediately encircle and suppress them, but only continued to encircle them with elegance and vulgarity, cutting off their last way out.
The main general, Fei Yao, suddenly felt like ashes.
"Those who surrender will not be killed, and those who resist will not be forgiven!"
The Third Army, the Eleventh Army, and the Fourth Army presented a triangular encirclement formation, which was directly encircled, and tens of thousands of Wei troops suddenly felt chilled when they saw it.
"General, why don't we surrender!"
Some people began to be timid, and took the lead in putting down their weapons and raising their hands in surrender.
"General, it's not that we are disloyal to Great Wei, it's General Sima who has given up on us!"
"General, I don't want to die here in vain, so let's surrender!"
Several lieutenants beside Fei Yao gritted their teeth and said.
Sima Yi led the main force to turn around and break through the encirclement and take them out, but Sima Yi watched them being surrounded by the Wu army, but he didn't care about them at all and regarded them as outcasts.
Naturally, they were full of resentment in their hearts.
"Now there is really no way forward, there is no way back, and God will not wait for me!"
Fei Yao rode on horseback, surrounded by the fierce and vicious Wu army, there was not even a gap, and there was no hope of breaking through at all, so he was willing to fight on the spot, and I am afraid that the whole army would be annihilated.
He looked at the desperate and godless faces of his tens of thousands of soldiers, gritted his teeth, and made a decision.
As soon as he died, he had no regrets, so he should have reported Sima Yi's appreciation for him back then.
But he couldn't let all these tens of thousands of soldiers die here.
So, he chose to jump off the horse, put down the weapon in his hand, and walked forward: "General Wu Jun, who can call the shots?" ”
"A certain family is the chief of staff of the Central Army, Xu Shu!" Xu Shu rode an ordinary war horse, walked out, and said lightly.
"Chief of Staff Xu, if we surrender, may we be treated kindly?"
"Wu Jun never mistreats prisoners!" Xu Shu said lightly: "As long as you give up your weapons and surrender, I, Xu Shu, am willing to swear in the name of my Great Wu Majesty that I will never kill any of you!" ”
"Is that true?"
"The soldiers of Da Wu will never joke with the honor of our majesty!" Xu Shu said solemnly.
"Sons, put down your weapons!"
Fei Yao believed it, because he thought that for the Wu army, the Emperor of Eastern Wu was high and sacrosanct, and since Xu Shu could use the Emperor of Eastern Wu to swear, he would not kill them, he took a step forward and arched his hands: "I am Fei Yao, the partial general of the Wei army, I am willing to lead all the generals to surrender to the Wu army, and I hope that the generals of the Wu army can treat us well!" ”
"I'll surrender!"
The soldiers of the Wei army saw that the main generals had surrendered, even if they were stubborn, and now they began to lay down their weapons one by one.
"Quickly collect their weapons and divide them!" Xu Shu's eyes lit up, revealing a touch of joy, it was a great fortune to take down this group of soldiers and horses without much effort, he hurriedly drank at the three military commanders.
"Yes!"
The three army commanders looked at this scene, glanced at each other, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, although their army had been surrounded by this group of soldiers and horses, but after all, there were tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and it was also a bloody battle to resist.
With the surrender of the Wei army led by Fei Yao, this battle was suspended, and the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield.
……
In the afternoon.
In the middle camp of the Wu army, Zhuge Liang wore a Confucian robe, wore a sword, and sat at the head of the camp tent, while Ju Yi Xu Shu and others sat next to him one by one.
Although Ju Yi is the commander of the Central Army, Zhuge Liang is the commander of a war zone, and if you talk about military positions, you are still above him.
Of course, Ju Yi does not belong to the third theater of operations, in addition to his status in the military aircraft department is higher than Zhuge Liang, and his military rank is also above Zhuge Liang, so he does not need to be humble, but this battle is dominated by the strength of the third theater, Zhuge Liang is the main general.
All of them are in the first place, and Zhuge Liang sits.
In the battle of hundreds of thousands of troops, one of the most feared is that the military order is unknown, the commander can only be one, not two, Ju Yi naturally understands this truth, even if he is not convinced, he will not provoke Zhuge Liang's position as the main general at this time.
"Commander Zhuge fought this battle beautifully, with only three hundred casualties, you actually captured tens of thousands of Wei troops in one go, good, good, great!" Ju Yi didn't attach much importance to Zhuge Liang before, but after this battle, he still admired Zhuge Liang a little.
This battle is the most beautiful battle since the start of the war.
The battlefield has always been a place of casualties.
Since the beginning of the first battle, no matter whether you win or lose, casualties are the law of iron, killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred, even if it is a victory, it is piled up with casualties, a beautiful victory is not easy to fight, but the battle that Zhuge Liang is planning now is very beautiful.
Under the short confrontation between him and Ma Chao, the casualties were not large, but the ambush in the southwest achieved a good result.
With less than 300 casualties, a third of Sima Yi's soldiers and horses were left.
This battle is enough to become a battle example in the textbook of the martial arts hall.
"This battle is the work of Commander Ju Yi and the generals, if it weren't for the work of my Zhuge Liang!" Zhuge Liang smiled slightly: "If it weren't for Commander Ju Yi dragging Ma Chao, a fierce general, we wouldn't have achieved such a big result at all!" ”
His words are not modest, but factual.
A warrior who has trained his spirit to become a brave and invincible general is enough to change the outcome of a battle.
If it weren't for Ju Yi blocking Ma Chao and Ma Chao personally answering Sima Yi, even if he could finally stop and cut off Sima Yi's soldiers and horses, this battle would eventually turn into a bloody battle.
"Hahaha!"
Ju Yi laughed heartily, he was in a good mood when he fought with Ma Chao today, and when he heard Zhuge Liang's words, he was in a better mood, and he didn't care that Zhuge Liang robbed him of the position of the main general, but asked modestly: "Commander Zhuge , you are the main general of this battle, what do you say next, how should we fight?" ”
"Next, we need to explore the movements of the Wei army, only by knowing ourselves and knowing the other can we win a hundred battles, Ma Chao's strength plus the main force preserved by Sima Yi, he now has enough troops to break through!"
Zhuge Liang stood up, and in the eyes of the generals, he pointed to a terrain sand table created by the Central Army: "He will definitely break through to the east!" ”
"To the east is Chencang, as long as they return the soldiers and horses to Chencang, they can return to Kanto smoothly!"
Xu Shu said in a deep voice: "Although we sent the Ninth Army to capture Chencang, there has been no news for so many days, and I suspect that Chencang's side will not be able to attack!" ”
"From here to Chencang, it is a battle line of hundreds of miles, whether they can reach Chencang is still a question, with their current soldiers and horses, the march will not be too fast, at least three days, this is enough for us to snipe them down!"
General Han Gang was extraordinarily bold and said loudly: "Catch them all!" ”
"With Ma Chao's current strength, I'm afraid it's not so easy for us to catch them all!"
Lu Xun squinted slightly, looked at a road on the sand table, and lowered his eyes: "If you can fight, you are afraid that the casualties will be too great, after all, it will be a wolf, if they feel that there is no hope of breaking through after all, and they will fight back, we will have to pay the price of blood!" ”
"If you want to besiege them, you have to pay the price!"
Zu Dong, the commander of the Fourth Army, shouted in a deep voice: "I am willing to take the lead and never let them return to Guanzhong!" ”
"Ma Chao, in order to break through, this battle will definitely use the Xiliang Iron Cavalry as an arrow, and the vanguard will come, and the reason why he converges with Sima Yi is actually to use Sima Yi's soldiers and horses to break off, this abacus is a good fight!"
Xu Shu sneered: "If it goes well, he can bring most of the main force of the Northern Wolf Guard back to Guanzhong!" ”
"But our troops are not weak, the Xianbei Army in the north, our Central Army, the Eleventh Army, and the Twelfth Army led by Fa Zheng who are about to catch up, and the Sixteenth Army led by Xu Sheng!"
Ju Yi said confidently: "Once we gather all the soldiers and horses, it is enough to kill them, is it so easy for them to break through?" ”
"Can't stop them from breaking through!"
Zhuge Liang listened to the foaming at the mouth of each of them, and then opened his mouth to express his opinion.
He squinted, looked at the sand table, and showed a meaningful smile: "I have to let them break through smoothly!" ”
"Why?"
When the generals heard this, they did not understand in their hearts.
"Today's tactics have to be repeated again, to deal with the Wei army, forcibly encirclement is a matter of ignorance, we still have to use the method of cutting meat with a blunt knife, and cut off the flesh of the Wei army bit by bit, in order to weaken our casualties!"
Zhuge Liang's dark eyes flashed with crystal clear light, drew a line on the sand table, and said confidently: "The vanguard of Ma Chao's breakthrough is the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is the elite of the elite, we can't block it, we have to avoid it, because even if we block it, we will suffer heavy casualties, and when they break through in the vanguard, the main force is our goal, Sifang Town, Yuehan Mountain, and the two streams, this is the only way, we will attack three places in the north and south, focus on consuming their main force, and leave after a battle, and never love war!" ”
He calculated many times, as long as the northern and southern armies cooperated well, he could take most of the main force of the Wei army at the smallest cost in this battle.
The generals listened to Zhuge Liang's tactics, and one by one they pondered deeply.
Truly.
If they can achieve the maximum result with the least casualties, they are naturally willing, but they are afraid that they will fail in the end.
"Commander Zhuge , are you sure?" Ju Yi stared at Zhuge Liang's face and asked word by word.
"I'm still sure of the strength of Sima Yi and Ma Chao in the city, but I'm worried about another thing now!" There was a hint of melancholy in Zhuge Liang's eyes.
"What's the matter?" Ju Yi asked.
"Pound!" Zhuge Liang spit out a name, then pointed to the sand table, and said: "Look at it, we didn't have any ideas before, it turns out that Qishan goes straight to the street pavilion, as long as you go around, it is very close, and you can also walk into Chencang first!" ”
"Pound?"
Xu Shu frowned: "Isn't he besieged in Qishan now?" ”
"Qishan is a connection between the east and the west, we have arranged heavy troops in the east, and in the west it is a little lax, if Pang De is decisive enough, he will give up the encirclement in the east, go straight to the west, the west direction, our soldiers and horses are arranged in the right direction of the southwest Long, but due north is indeed a way out, this is the way to our main battlefield, we did not expect that Pang De would enter Xiliang, I feel that once he is surrounded by three armies, it is a dead end, but once he breaks the kettle and sinks the boat, he decides to kill a bloody road from Liangzhou, Lead the army to go straight to the street pavilion or Chen Cang, it is still possible to kill it! ”
Zhuge Liang said: "If there are any soldiers and horses to meet the Jieting or Chen Cang, it will inevitably make the Wei army like a tiger, and maybe they can really kill the main force back to Guanzhong!" (To be continued.) )
