Chapter 1398: No Return Scouts
Originally, I just wanted to test whether the Jingzhou army lying on the ground was still alive, but the Han army's feet stepped on the Jingzhou army on the ground, and the Jingzhou army actually let out a soft groan.
Hearing the groan, the Han army raised his foot, and then kicked Jingzhou Jun who was lying on the ground.
was kicked twice by him, and Jingzhou Jun, who had been pretending to be dead, opened his eyes.
When he saw the long sword in Han Jun's hand, he hurriedly whispered: "Big brother, spare my life......"
Looking down at the Jingzhou army that was begging him with a bitter face, the Han soldiers did not have the slightest expression on their faces.
He ignored the pleading of the Jingzhou army, held the long sword, and stabbed the chest of the Jingzhou army lying on the ground.
Before he opened his mouth to plead, the seriously injured Jingzhou army still expected that the Han soldiers in front of him would have compassion and spare his life, but they didn't expect that the Han army ignored his plea for mercy at all, and stabbed him in the chest with a sword.
Seeing that the long sword drew a straight silver light, the seriously injured Jingzhou army was pierced by the long sword before he even had time to say the second half of his pleading.
The sharp tip of the sword pierced into his heart, piercing his back.
Jingzhou Jun, who was pierced by the long sword, shook his body, his eyes suddenly widened, and then his head fell back, his legs kicked, and he lost his breath.
The fifty Han soldiers who were ordered to come were not looking for a way to survive at all, they had only one task, that is, to kill all the Jingzhou troops who were still alive.
The soldiers of the Han army lined up, combing the Jingzhou army that had fallen to the ground like a neat plowshare.
One by one, the Jingzhou army who pretended to be dead was found by them, and when they found these still alive enemies, they did not have any mercy at all and stabbed the long sword in their hands into the other party's body.
Seeing that the Han army killed those Jingzhou soldiers who did not die, one fell a little farther away, and the Jingzhou army, which had an arrow in his heart but did not die, turned over violently, got up with a bone, and was about to stand up, but because he was seriously injured, he fell down again.
Seeing a Han army jumping up from him, he hurriedly rushed forward.
The Jingzhou army, who had just climbed up once, was about to get up again, and one foot had already stepped on the back of his heart.
The back heart was stepped on by the Han army, and the Jingzhou soldiers lay heavily on the ground.
He grabbed the ground with both hands, and even dragged the body of another Jingzhou soldier in front of him with one hand, but because he was trampled on by the Han army, he couldn't move half a minute at all.
Completely powerless to move, the desperate Jingzhou army let out a heart-rending howl under fear.
The Han army, who was stepping on his back heart, didn't pay attention to his miserable howl at all, stepped on him with one foot, squatted down, reached out to grab his hair bun, and pulled his head back.
The bun was pulled by the Han army, and the struggling soldiers of the Jingzhou army raised their heads high out of pain, completely exposing their necks.
His head was tilted up, and a sharp sword was handed to his neck from behind.
The cold blade of the sword pressed against his neck, slashing hard.
As a stream of warm blood shot out, the Jingzhou army, who was pulling his hair in a bun, stopped howling, made a "snoring" sound in his throat, lowered his head forward, and lost any breath.
Grabbing the Jingzhou army's hair bun that had been cut off, the Han soldier slammed his head to the ground before standing up with a long sword.
"Brothers, what's wrong?" The officer who led these Han soldiers, after searching for it, shouted to the fifty Han soldiers present.
"It's like there's no one alive." As soon as his shout fell, a Han soldier answered.
"It's just like you don't live anymore!" There was no definite news from the soldiers, and the officer shouted to them: "I'll search again, whether dead or alive, and make up two swords on each enemy soldier!" ”
was ordered to come to kill the Jingzhou army that did not die, but the soldiers of the Han army refused to leave a single person alive, and under the guidance of the officer, they searched again from the beginning.
This time, they did not deliberately look for those Jingzhou soldiers who did not die, but poked a few swords on each Jingzhou army's corpse.
Looking at the soldiers of the Han army who were carrying out the killing mission from a distance, Xiahoudun still had a calm face.
He looked up at the sky, and the slanting sun was already turning half of the sky red, and he saw that night was about to fall.
"Pass the order, and the army will be stationed in place!" It was getting late, and Xiahoudun did not give the order to enter the valley to pursue Zhang Fei, but instead ordered the Han soldiers to be stationed in place.
Zhang Fei, who led the army into the valley, also ordered the remnants of the Jingzhou army to dismount and camp.
Got into the handsome tent set up for him by several personal soldiers, and Zhang Fei was just about to lie down, when a panicked voice came from outside the tent: "General Qiyu, the enemy army is stationed at the valley mouth!" ”
Hearing that the Han army still did not enter the valley, but was stationed at the mouth of the valley, Zhang Fei turned over, got up and rushed out of the tent.
Standing outside the tent with his fists clenched was a relatively short Jingzhou soldier.
When he arrived in front of the soldier, Zhang Fei grabbed his collar and asked him sharply, "Is there any inquiry?" ”
was grabbed by Zhang Fei's neckline, and the Jingzhou army responded in a panic: "General Hui, the investigation has been detailed, and the enemy army has really not chased into the valley." It's just that there are only dozens of enemy soldiers, and when they arrived at our army that was shot at Taniguchi, they killed those soldiers who did not die one by one......"
Zhang Fei had no intention of thinking about the Jingzhou army that was shot by the arrow, and he only had one thought in his mind, that is, he hoped that the Han army could chase into the valley and attack the Han army from Guan Yu, who was ambushed in the valley.
But after the Han army got the benefits, they did not enter the valley according to his idea at all, but stationed them outside the valley.
Their actions like this really made Zhang Fei feel bitter in his heart.
Zhang Fei led the Jingzhou cavalry back to the valley and stationed in the valley, Xiahoudun also ordered the Han soldiers to be stationed outside the valley, and the 10,000 Han troops led by Sima Yi still maintained a fast marching speed and marched towards the place where Liu Bei was stationed.
The leader marched towards the place where Liu Bei was stationed, and Sima Yi continued to send scouts along the way to investigate the surrounding situation.
The scouts he sent were not only to investigate the enemy's situation, but also to search for the enemy scouts and kill them.
Wave after wave of scouts were dispatched, and wave after wave of turnback, Sima Yi not only got the exact location of Liu Bei's army, but also got more than a dozen heads of the Jingzhou army.
These Jingzhou soldiers who had their heads cut off were all scouts sent by Liu Bei to investigate the situation.
They met with the Han army scouts, the individual combat strength was not as good as the Han army, and the war horses were not as good as the Han army's mounts.
The heads were sent to the front by the Han army scouts, and every time he saw another head, Sima Yi's brows would tighten even tighter.
"Pass the order to go down and march quickly, so that Liu Bei will not know that our army is moving forward and launch an attack on his Chinese army!" After another scout carried the head of the Jingzhou army scout and reported to Sima Yi the movements of Liu Bei's army, Sima Yi frowned tightly and gave the order to speed up the march to the army behind him.
Yu Ban, who followed Sima Yi to lead the army to intercept Liu Bei, after hearing his shout, asked suspiciously: "Zhongda, our army scouts have already wiped out the enemy scouts, so why do you need to speed up the march?" ”
"Our army sent scouts, if they don't return for a long time, what will the general think?" Turning his head to look at Yu Ban, Sima Yi asked him casually.
Asked by Sima Yi like this, Yu Ban was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes twice before replying: "I must have thought that the scout was blocked, or something else happened!" ”
"The general will think so, so how can Liu Bei not?" Smiling slightly, Sima Yi turned his face to the front, looked at the direction where Liu Bei was stationed, and said as if talking to himself: "I'm afraid our army will have a fierce battle this time!" ”
Hearing that there would be a fierce battle, Yu Ban clenched the blade in his hand tightly, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched twice.
After being captured by the Han army, Yu Ban, like other generals who were originally subordinate to Cao Cao, stayed in Luoyang for a long time.
After Liu Wei recruited them, Yu Ban never thought that he would have the opportunity to lead the army.
Although the main commander of this expedition will be Xiahoudun instead of him, as a deputy general, and he went with Sima Yi to intercept and kill Liu Bei, the merits he can make must be no less than Xiahoudun.
The battle with Liu Bei, for Ban, was not only a battle in which Liu Wei gave him full trust, but also a battle in which he could make meritorious contributions to the Han Dynasty.
This battle not only determined the prestige of the Han army in the world, but also determined the status of their generals who were originally subordinate to Cao Cao in the Han court.
If they can successfully repel Liu Bei in this battle, from now on, the gap between Liu Wei and Liu Bian, who was once subordinate to Cao Cao, will also be erased, and he will be more able to assist Liu Bian wholeheartedly.
Looking at it, Yu Ban's eyes narrowed slightly, and from the squinted eyes, a scorching light flashed.
"Full speed ahead!" Thinking that soon, he would be able to lead the army to fight with Liu Bei's soldiers and horses, Yu Ban also couldn't hold back his desire to fight, he raised the blade in his hand and shouted to the Han soldiers who followed behind.
The 10,000 Han troops, having received the order to advance at full speed, accelerated their pace one after another, and the speed was more than twice as fast as before.
Sima Yi led 10,000 Han troops and approached Liu Bei's army, and in Liu Bei's army's tent, two people were sitting opposite each other.
Sitting in the first place is Liu Bei, and sitting face to face with him is Zhuge Liang, who is shaking a feather fan regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter.
"Mr. Zhuge !" Staring at Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, who had always been frowning, said to him with some apprehension in his heart: "The second brother and the third brother went to Bowang Valley, but they have not received the news of victory so far, and the scouts sent by us have not returned more than ten people, I don't know what Mr. thinks?" ”
