Chapter 351: The Decisive Battle in Hanzhong (1)
After returning to the camp, Ao Lie ordered the soldiers of the whole army to wear linen and filial piety for the deceased Zhu Jun, to pay tribute to Zhu Jun in such a way, and at the same time to inspire the morale of the soldiers of the whole army in such a way.
After Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong settled Zhu Hao and other 10,000 soldiers, they came to Ao Lie's side with a trace of worry. Their worries are not unreasonable, the original battle plan was to use Zhu Jun's men and horses as a surprise soldier, and he was caught off guard by Cao Cao and Liu Bei, but now, this army that has lost its commander has obviously lost the miraculous effect of the sudden rise of the army, and in this way, the Yan army has also lost the capital to win by surprise.
Looking at the worry on Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong's faces, Ao Lie pretended to smile easily and comforted them: "Okay, don't cry and mourn, it's a big deal that we will do what Cao Cao wants, and fight with Liu Bei with real swords and guns, can we still lose to the Shu soldiers of our Yan Kingdom?" ”
Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong also knew that this was Ao Lie's words of comfort, after all, the battle of the fortified was not a battle that could win the most decisive victory with combat strength alone, and the side defending the city always had a great advantage. However, things have developed to this point, and there is no other way, only one way is left in Huashan, and it is hard to fight to the end. Zhuge Liang strengthened his belief and said to Ao Lie: "Big brother, since our army has no way to retreat, without further ado, we should immediately send troops to Hanzhong City, if we wait for Cao Cao to give Hanzhong to Liu Bei, we will be even more passive." ”
Ao Lie nodded and said to Ma Chao: "Meng Qi, pass the order, immediately rectify the people, and we will go to Hanzhong City later." Go and meet Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the two heroes! ”
Under the city of Hanzhong, there are already corpses and bones at this moment, and there are countless corpses lying horizontally and vertically, including Shu soldiers and Cao soldiers. In the Han Dynasty, although medical treatment was not very developed, everyone also knew that if the corpses could not be cleaned up in time, then the exposed corpses were likely to become a source of plague. Therefore, every time there is a war, the two warring sides will be in the gap of the war. Send men to clear the battlefield and prevent future plagues from breaking out in the warring lands. Therefore, on the battlefield under the city of Hanzhong, there is now a scene of a brief strike between the two warring parties, and the Shu soldiers and Cao Jun clearly shuttle on the battlefield, carrying the bodies of their dead comrades back for cremation.
Cao Cao stood on top of the city, looking at the scene of mourning under the city, he was very angry in his heart, and secretly scolded Ao Lie for not playing cards according to the routine. Until now, he has not shown up for a long time, which has led to a dilemma, and he has also lost his troops and fought until now. Liu Bei was determined to win Hanzhong, and he attacked the city for two days and one night, and did not suspend the offensive until half an hour ago. Send sergeants to clear the battlefield. In this competition, it is difficult to say who wins and who loses, and the losses of both sides are not small. The soldiers under Cao Cao's command have lost more than 20,000 people, and the number of soldiers killed in Liu Bei's army is probably nearly twice that of Cao's army. Cao Cao had already made up his mind to hold on for another day, and no matter whether Ao Lie appeared or not, he would lead his army to leave Hanzhong and give Hanzhong to Liu Bei.
Just when Cao Cao was secretly calculating, the city wall suddenly shook, which was the vibration caused by the iron hooves trampling the earth when the war horse was galloping. Cao Cao suddenly raised his head and looked in the northwest direction, where was the direction of Ao Lie's march. Not only Cao Cao, but Guo Jia and others also felt the vibration of the city wall, and they all set their eyes on the northwest.
In the northwest, the sound of horses' hooves sounded faintly, and the shaking of the earth became more and more intense, and the slight vibration of the Hanzhong city wall could cause the slight vibration of the city wall, presumably the cavalry that was galloping would not be a few, and when the cavalry was dominant for a while, and a large number of cavalry could be mobilized in the direction of Liangzhou, it was none other than Ao Lie.
While Cao Cao looked up, Liu Bei under the city also felt something, Huo Ran turned his head to look at the northwest, and muttered, "Are you still here after all?" It's okay, I'll let you see it today, I, Liu Bei, am no longer what I used to be, and I am no longer the down-and-out Liu Bei I used to be! Now among the heroes in the world, I also have a place for Liu Bei! ”
The sound of horses' hooves became clearer and clearer, and it seemed that between heaven and earth, there was no other sound, only this burst of rushing that attracted everyone's attention! Finally, a bright yellow flag appeared in everyone's sight against the wind, and it was faintly visible on it, embroidered with the word "Yan". This is the royal flag of Yan King Ao Lie, the battle flag defended by millions of Yan troops, and the battle flag that tens of millions of Yan people worship and obey!
White horse, golden armor, overlord gun, is Ao Lie's iconic outfit, when such an image appears on the horizon, it immediately attracts everyone's attention, the mighty little overlord Ao Lie, immediately became the focus of the battlefield!
At this moment, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's moods were completely different. Cao Cao finally breathed a sigh of relief, now, he can retreat with peace of mind, no matter who he gives Hanzhong City, which is a chicken rib city for him, it will cause Ao Lie and Liu Bei to snatch it frantically, this is enough, the strategy formulated by himself and Guo Jia finally has its due effect at the last moment. And Liu Bei didn't have the same good mood as Cao Cao, he wanted to take Hanzhong, the gateway to the north of Yizhou, and wanted to defeat Cao Cao, and at the same time wanted to defeat Ao Lie, so that everyone in the world knew that he was also a hero, but these three goals were more difficult than one another, and he wanted to complete these three goals at the same time, Liu Bei himself was a little disbelieving, so he seemed a little depressed. It must be known that this is Liu Bei's best opportunity to win prestige, occupy interests and then compete for the world, if he can realize these three wishes at one time, then he will not be far from the day when he will take charge of the world's bulls, for that day, Liu Bei has been waiting and enduring for nearly 20 years!
In the iron hooves, tens of thousands of cavalry galloped under the guidance of the Yanzi banner, rolling up the smoke and dust in the sky, tens of thousands of war horses ran to two hundred steps away from the battlefield, suddenly uniformly stopped from the gallop, restrained by the horseback fine horsemen, the horse's hooves of the war horses struggled to rise, with the knights on horseback stood up, inlaid with horseshoes in the air after a short stay, heavy trampling to the earth, wait until the war horses are still, The cavalry of the Yan army had already lined up the crane wing array in a state of motion, and tens of thousands of troops and even men and horses seemed to have turned into stone sculptures, silent, only suffocating killing intent, emanating from the crane wing array formed by tens of thousands of Yan cavalry. Yan Jun rode in such a domineering way to announce his arrival.
The killing aura erupted from the tens of thousands of Yan soldiers, and instantly permeated every corner of the battlefield, frightening the Shu soldiers and Cao soldiers who were cleaning up the battlefield, and hurriedly ran back to their respective positions, not even caring about the corpses of their companions who had not yet been cleaned up.
Under the banner of the Yan army, Ao Lie was guarded by the stars like the moon, he glanced at the battlefield, and knew that Cao Cao and Liu Bei were cleaning up the battlefield, according to the unwritten rules, during this time period, Ao Lie could not attack them, and he could only join the battlefield after the battlefield was cleared. However, because of Zhu Jun's illness, Ao Lie was in a very bad mood, and he didn't want to see Liu Bei occupy Hanzhong, so naturally he didn't want to wait any longer.
Slowly raising his right hand, Ao Lie pointed at the corpses on the battlefield, and shouted loudly: "Blood kills, burn the corpses with the west wind!" The 10,000 elites of the Blood Killing Army who followed Ao Lie immediately shouted in unison: "The soul of blood killing, there is no battle!" Then, ignoring the 200,000 Shu soldiers, they rushed straight into the battlefield with their horses, plucked from the saddle the two vials of Xifeng Lie that Ao Lie had specially distributed to them to wash their wounds, and then unscrewed the mouth of the bottles, and spilled the liquor on the battlefield in the gallop.
Back and forth, it only took a dozen breaths for the elites of the Blood Killing Army to complete, fully demonstrating their superb riding skills and the excellence of their horses, which made the Shu soldiers and Cao Jun in the city sigh to themselves. The last elite of the Blood Killing Army who withdrew from the battlefield was about to run out of the battlefield, he easily lit a fire and threw it on the ground.
Under the influence of Zephyr Spirits, the fire broke off as soon as it fell to the ground, igniting a large area nearby, and the fire instantly rose and soon spread to the middle of the battlefield, and then engulfed the entire battlefield. Burning corpses with fire can effectively kill germs, which is the most common means of preventing plague in ancient times, which is simple and fast.
Looking at the flames rising under the city, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly instructed Cao Ren: "Zixiao, hurry up and straighten out the people, be sure to lead the army out of the city before the fire is extinguished, so that Hanzhong will become an empty city!" Cao Cao knew that this fire, with those corpses as fuel, it will definitely continue to burn for a period of time, through this fire, Cao Cao can finally escape, throw out the hot potato in Hanzhong and let Ao Lie and Liu Bei fight, he can sit firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, and sit comfortably on the mountain to watch the tiger fight. Cao Cao believed that neither Ao Lie nor Liu Bei wanted each other to occupy Hanzhong, and there would inevitably be a life-and-death struggle between the two armies, which was also Cao Cao's original intention.
The fire lasted for half an hour, half an hour later, in addition to the original residents in Hanzhong City, has become a veritable empty city, the Cao army stationed in the city and the Hanzhong army that surrendered to Cao Cao have followed Cao Cao to withdraw from Hanzhong, even the grain, grass and ordnance in the treasury have been carried by the soldiers of the Cao army, no matter who gets Hanzhong, in addition to the natural geographical advantages of Hanzhong, it is impossible to find any oil and water from Hanzhong City.
