Chapter 779: Yu Ban's helplessness

Seal the hill and win!

On the night of the camp of Wen Ping, the news spread non-stop, spread to Puyang, Dongjun, and to Cao Cao, who was quickly leading the army south to cross the Yellow River, which made him overjoyed. In order to seize this good opportunity to boost morale, he also promised to add Feng Wen to be the general of Pingnan on the spot, which can be said to have jumped three levels.

For a time, the morale of the Wei army gradually recovered, and the fighting spirit was gradually rekindled under the stimulation of various means!

At the same time, there was another person who also got the news, although he was also happy, but he was also a little impatient, that is, Yu Ban, who was stationed in the sour jujube.

Yu Ban has followed Cao Cao for many years, fought in the south and the north, and made countless large and small military exploits, his military ability is beyond doubt, otherwise with Cao Cao's and other employing eyes, how can he take a fancy to him!

Historically, Yu Ban has been conscientious and talented all his life, and he has almost never been defeated, but when he finally rescued Fancheng, he was flooded by Guan Yu and was not protected in the evening.

At that time, Cao Ren sent Yu Ban, the then general of Zuo, and Pang De, the general of Liyi, to garrison the north of Fancheng. In August, heavy rain fell from the sky, the Han River flooded, the water depth of the flat land was several zhang, Yu Ban and other soldiers and horses were flooded, so Yu Ban and the generals could only climb to a high place to avoid the water, and then Guan Yu came to attack by big boat, Yu Ban had nowhere to retreat, and chose to surrender, and Pang De chose to die.

In fact, there is no such thing as Pound being forbidden to be jealous in the canonical history.

Yu Ban only had some doubts at that time, thinking that Pang De's old brother and late master Ma Chao was working in Shu Han, and he was worried that he would not fight wholeheartedly. Later, after Pound fought desperately and shot Guan Yu with an arrow, there was no longer a gap. As for being flooded. Completely unrelated to the so-called jealousy.

After this battle. Yu Ban's reputation was ruined. Many years later, he was released back to the Wei State, and was humiliated by Cao Pi, if there is really such a wonderful jealousy period, the annals will definitely not mind recording it!

Therefore, the reason for his late life is entirely due to the fact that he finally chose to surrender, and Pound's death became a stark contrast.

But if you look at it from another angle, Yu Ban, who was middle-aged and elderly at that time, just made a choice. Besides, that surrender is not a surrender, but just the fate of being imprisoned. After that, he was first imprisoned by Guan Yu, and then by Wu State, until he was sent back to Wei by Sun Quan two years later, and he never defected.

Therefore, this battle at most shows that Yu Ban was unwilling to die with his brothers after losing the ability to resist, so he chose to give up resistance, which may be called not strong enough. Maybe it can be said that he doesn't want to die, but it's far less unbearable than the rumors!

Even. It is also possible that he endures humiliation and bears heavy burdens, expecting Cao Wei to save him from trouble and show his strength again?

What if after Sun Quan sent him back to Wei, Cao Pi used him again, and he used his ability to humiliate him again? Is that a completely different outcome?

The so-called time! Fate!

Yu Ban did not have such a chance, after returning to China, Cao Cao died, he was humiliated by Cao Pi, and finally died of anger, and his reputation was ruined!

But even so, in any annals, Yu Ban is among the good generals of Wei State, and Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Xu Huang, Le Jin and others are alongside, and they can be regarded as the five good generals.

These are enough to prove that Yu Ban himself is actually not a big fault at all, and the credit is absolutely huge, Cao Pi humiliated him, it should be out of personality, who hasn't done anything to hit others?

Otherwise, is Cao Pi really stupid, and the civil and military forces of the Wei State are all stupid, and they treat the generals who have no ability and merit and their reputations are also treated and respected so much, so that people can follow suit?

In ancient times, the name of the dead minister was to commemorate, to respect, and to make the living emulate this dead man!

At this time, Yu Ban, who was stationed in sour jujubes, showed his decisiveness and courage.

Wen Ping was originally his deputy general, under his jurisdiction, and now he has achieved a great victory in Fengqiu, reported to him, and said that the troops are insufficient, it is difficult to do all the work, how can he still sit still.

Because the sour jujube is very close to Fengqiu, at the dawn of the night of the victory, he got the good news of Wenpin, did not dare to delay, and hurriedly ordered 30,000 Cao troops to set off, and he himself personally led the cavalry as the front, chasing hard, just to support Wenpin, and take advantage of the situation to break Wang Xu's soldiers and horses.

In the early afternoon, the front of the cavalry led by Yu Ban had already chased three miles north of the ditch, and seeing the rugged terrain ahead, he stopped for the sake of caution.

"Where is the Sentinel? Where lies ahead?

"General Huiyu, the name of the ditch ahead, the terrain is dangerous, and there is only one mountain road to pass!"

Hearing this, Yu Ban immediately frowned: "What about General Wen's soldiers and horses?" ”

"Someone came back just now, saying that his soldiers and horses had chased the army of Chu through the ditch and continued to run in the direction of Kaifeng, but the soldiers of Chu seemed to have gradually woken up from the panic, and Wen hired a small number of soldiers and could not completely defeat them, so he asked for quick help!"

When Yu Ban heard the return, he instantly made up his mind, since the army of Chu was still retreating, and Wen Ping also bit the pursuit, then of course there would be no danger along the way, and immediately waved his gun violently, and shouted urgently: "Chase!" Be sure to rush to the aid of Wenpin within half an hour! ”

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and Yu Ban was unaware that he was already rapidly walking into the Jedi.

Soon, he led his troops into the gutter, did not stop, and moved forward quickly.

But when he was at the front and was about to rush to the mountain pass, a long howl suddenly came out between the mountains on both sides: "Shoot!" ”

"Oops!"

There were only two words flashed in Yu Ban's mind, and the overwhelming rain of arrows had already fallen, just one round, and the unsuspecting Cao Junjing had already fallen. But the rain of arrows is endless, round after round, and there seems to be no pause.

"Rush! Rush forward, out of here! ”

In the forbidden hurry, he was wise, and while striking the arrows that were close to him, he shouted angrily to the soldiers. He has rich experience and understands that in such a situation, only rushing forward with his head covered is the fastest way to get out of danger, and if he turns back, it will definitely lead to crowding and stampeding in front and back, making it even more chaotic.

But as he spoke, thick black smoke suddenly rose in front of his vision, and the glowing flames shone brightly. It shines brighter than the scorching sun.

"General Yu. The road ahead was cut off by fire. I can't go over! ”

The frightened call of his subordinates came, which made Yu Ban's heart feel slightly cold, and he didn't think much about it, he turned his horse's head and roared loudly: "Retreat!" Retreat! ”

But as soon as the words fell, the exclamations of his subordinates were also heard from the rear: "Countless soldiers of the Chu State appeared in the rear, and they lined up to block the way back with bows and crossbows!" ”

"How many people!" Yu Ban roared.

"Densely packed. I don't know how many! ”

Hearing this, Yu Ban's head suddenly thundered.

"It's over, am I really going to die here?"

This thought flashed in his mind, and he quickly reacted and scolded angrily: "This Wen Ping, how can you pursue the Chu army?" Why did the Chu army lay such an ambush when it was defeated, and he didn't notice it at all? How can you be so careless? ”

But now there is no time for him to think about it, and in the face of a desperate situation, Yu Ban can only make a decision.

"Brethren. Break through with me and fight your way out. ”

Accompanied by a roar. He has taken the lead in rushing back, this is the only way to survive, if he can't rush out, it is a dead end, and now he can't stabilize the chaotic soldiers, he can only kill as much as he wants, it's better than the annihilation of the whole army.

This front part is all cavalry, but there are more foot soldiers are still on the way to come, as long as he can rush out, there is still the possibility of turning the tide of the battle, he knows that the goal of riding on the war horse is very big, he has already jumped off the horse, galloped on foot, and when he breaks out of the encirclement, it is not too late to grab a war horse and escape.

It's a pity that when he managed to avoid the rain of arrows and rushed to the rear intersection, he was instantly stunned when he saw the first person.

"King Chu!" He babbled to himself.

At this time, Wang Xu was waiting in formation, and those Cao Jun who rushed out frantically were faced with rows of crossbow arrows, even if they could rush to the front of the formation, they were blocked by the dense shield array, not giving them any exit and chance to escape at all, and the speed at which Cao Jun fell was very fast.

"Hahaha......"

Wang Xu saw Yu Ban, looked up to the sky and smiled: "Wen Ze, this king is here in person, do you still have the confidence to break through?" ”

"Alas......"

With a long sigh, Yu Ban didn't know how to answer, he really didn't have confidence.

"Surrender!" Wang Xu said in a timely manner: "This soldier and horse has no way to live, stubbornly resist, there is only one consequence, the infantry in your rear is still thirty miles away from here, with the speed of the infantry, even if you die, this king still has enough time to wait for them to arrive." ”

"These are your subordinates, and you can't bear to see them die so meaninglessly, and you can't bear to see them die so meaninglessly! As long as you disarm and surrender, this king will not do anything to slaughter, at least ensure that they can eat and not die in vain! How is it? ”

Yu Ban was already cold, looking at the frightened and helpless faces of his brothers, what else could he do? How else can you choose?

He's not a person of Lejin's character!

"Okay, I surrender!" With tears in his eyes, he almost burst out of his own mouth.

No matter how elite the soldiers are, in this situation, in this situation of pure slaughter, it is impossible to raise the will to resist, they can't even touch the enemy, how can the battle be fought?

If the only possibility is to rely on Yu Ban's martial arts to lead the soldiers to highlight a gap.

Yu Ban originally thought so, but when he saw Wang Xu, he understood that this was unrealistic.

Although he thinks that he is strong in martial arts, he is rare in the world, but Wang Xu's brave name has long spread in the Wei State, two years ago in Wuyin, Xu Chu fought two lilies, but still defeated and retreated, Xiahoudun was also injured by him, and now he only wants to stand out with martial arts, it is simply impossible.

Even, there have long been rumors in the world that Wang Xu, the king of Chu who was once famous for his planning, is actually the first brave general in the world since Lu Bu, although Wang Xu himself never thought so.

Cao's army quickly laid down their arms and surrendered on their knees, and the state of Chu also suspended the ongoing massacre.

Wang Xu ordered the partial generals Yang Ren, Feng Xi, and Fu Tong to lead 10,000 soldiers to take charge of the guard, and quickly retreated to Kaifeng, while he himself led his troops to kill Cao's infantry thirty miles away...... (To be continued......)
