The lights of the hills on both sides of the gourd valley flickered, marking the path in the darkness. Ma Chao didn't need to discern the direction of the troops, and only walked to the lights. Sima Yi saw that Ma Chao was alone and there were few military horses, so he thought that the grain guards in the valley had gone to support the camp, so he was relieved to catch up. The two generals, Cao Chun on the left and Zhou Tai on the right, followed Sima Yi and rushed to kill together.

Ma Chao led 500 soldiers to retreat into the valley, and Sima Yi chased him to the mouth of the valley, and first let people enter the valley to investigate. There were no ambushes in the valley, and there were huts on the hills.

Sima Yi smiled when he heard this: "This must be a place to store grain." "Let's drive the troops and horses into the valley. I saw that there were grass houses on the hillside, and there were straw stacks under the hillside, but Ma Chao was not seen.

Cao Chun and Zhou Tai led troops to chase from the mouth of the valley to the end of the valley, but they did not see the Han soldiers, but saw that the road was cut off by wood and stones, and they were shocked at that time and reported back to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi was shocked when he heard the report: "If there are soldiers who cut off the valley mouth again, we will be trapped here!" ”

As soon as the words fell, suddenly the shouting and killing sound on the hillside was shocked, Ma Chao led the troops to stand on the mountain, and the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty threw down the torches together and burned the valley mouth. Cao Bing and Wu Jun had no way to escape, rockets were fired down on the mountain, the hay in the valley was burning, and the dry firewood in the grass house was on fire, and the fire was soaring to the sky.

Sima Yi was so shocked that he cried with the second general: "All three of us died here!" ”

Although Zhou Tai and Cao Chun were brave, they were helpless in the face of the monstrous fire, the heat wave in the wind hit, and there was fire on all sides, so shocked that the two generals were sweating, and the only thing they could do was to keep Sima Yi to go to the fire less.

Just when Sima Yi and the second general were panicking, suddenly a strong wind blew, black air filled the air, and there was a thunderclap, and the rain was pouring down. All the fires in the valley were extinguished, the firewood and grass were not burned, and the firearms were useless.

Sima Yi was overjoyed and said: "God help me!" If you don't take advantage of this time, when will you wait? "After that, he led his troops to brave the rain and rushed to the mouth of the valley to kill.

Ma Chao was also very helpless when he saw the heavy rain on the hillside, so he had to turn his head to Huang Zhong and said: "I thought that this battle would be very easy, but I didn't expect the old general to make a move." ”

Huang Zhong laughed when he heard this: "The national teacher has unpredictable opportunities for ghosts and gods, Feng Xiao and Shi Yuan have earth-shattering wisdom, and it is easy to capture and kill Sima Yi." On both sides of the hillside, there are Huang Zhong people and horses on the left, and Huang Xu people and horses on the right, each holding a Yuan Rong crossbow, and ten thousand arrows are fired together.

Sima Yi and the soldiers thought that they had escaped with their lives, so they rushed to the valley mouth to kill, but unexpectedly, the rain mixed with the rain and the rain of arrows fell. The sound of arrows hanging in the wind was muffled by the sound of falling rain, and the Cao army and Wu army were defenseless, and there were countless casualties for a while. Sima Yi, Cao Chun, and Zhou Tainai were the key targets of Huang Zhong and Huang Xu, and all three were shot off their horses.

Cao Chun and Zhou Tai protected Sima Yi left and right, so the two of them were hit by the most arrows, and each of them was hit by more than ten arrows and died on the spot. Sima Yi was protected by two generals and a group of personal guards and dead soldiers, although he fell off the horse but did not die for a while, but he also died soon.

Sima Yi knew that the general trend had gone, so he said to the soldiers on the left and right: "I will definitely die today, you can return as soon as possible and save your life." ”

The left and right guards were all dead soldiers secretly cultivated by Sima Yi, and Yecheng followed Sima Yi as soon as he lost. At this time, hearing Sima Yi's words, several dead soldiers said: "I am willing to walk with the governor!" ”

Sima Yi sighed when he heard this: "It's useless for you to wait for a vain death!" Nan Ye doesn't know what enmity he has with me, and after the fall of Yecheng, he would rather let go of the Cao clan than let go of my two sons, Sima Shi and Sima Zhao. I am alone and have nothing to worry about, and if I die, I will die. If you want to avenge me, you can go to the Jiaozhou female soldiers to find Sima Bai to be the master. ”

Several of the dead soldiers knew Sima Bai, so they nodded one after another. Seeing this, Sima Yi smiled, coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, closed his eyes, and Sima's vein died. Until he died, Sima Yi didn't understand why Nan Ye killed Sima Shi and Sima Zhao, let alone Sima Yi, even the generals under Nan Ye's command didn't know why Nan Ye was unwilling to let go of the two children of the Sima family, only Nan Ye knew Sima Zhao's heart in his heart.

As soon as the three commanders of Sima Yi, Cao Chun, and Zhou Tai died, all the guards surrendered, and the rest of the soldiers had no reason to resist, so they knelt on the ground and asked for surrender. Huang Zhong and Huang Xu did not rush to kill them all, and went down the mountain to surrender.

Ma Chao saw that the enemy army had surrendered, so he said to Huang Zhong: "This battle has been won, Sima Yi is dead, we should go to help Zilong succeed as soon as possible." ”

Huang Zhong nodded when he heard this, and left his son Huang Xu to lead the troops to continue to collect the remnants of the army, and led the troops back to the camp with Ma Chao.

Cao Pi and Sun Quan attacked the Nanye camp for a long time, and there was no news of Sima Yi.

Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard this: "This must be Sima Dudu who set fire to the grain!" I'll wait for another time to fight, and wait for the governor to come to help, and this victory will be over! ”

Cao Pi nodded and said, "But the soldiers shouted that the grain and grass had been lost, which reduced their morale." ”

When the Wu and Wei armies received the order, they shouted loudly: "Listen to the Han army in the camp!" You wait for the grain stored in the gourd valley to be robbed by Sima Dudu, and you don't want to descend quickly! ”

Zhao Yun and the others will be surrounded by the Wu and Wei armies in the camp, and there is really no news of Sun Quan and Cao Pi. At this time, when he learned that the gourd valley was on fire, he was not angry but happy, and encouraged the soldiers: "The plan of the national teacher has been accomplished!" We're going to fight for it! "Morale is even higher.

Sun Quan and Cao Pi didn't know what the soldiers under Nan Ye's command were thinking, how did they hear that after the grain and grass were robbed, they were like being beaten with chicken blood? Lu Su speculated on the side: "Could it be that the sergeant of the battalion wants to break the cauldron and fight with us?" ”

Cao Pi listened to Lu Su's explanation and nodded: "Maybe that's right!" We need to be careful, as long as we wait for the overseer to arrive, this battalion will be broken. With that, he threw all the reserve soldiers into battle.

The whole army of Wu and Wei pressed up, which did put some pressure on Zhao Yun's defense, but it would not be defeated by virtue of the strength of the troops and the advantages of the terrain. When the two sides were at a stalemate, it suddenly rained heavily.

Zhao Yun knew that Nan Ye had arranged Huang Zhong as his follower, so he was not affected by the heavy rain, and still commanded the soldiers to defend step by step. But Cao Pi and Sun Quan were a little dumbfounded, they thought that the fire in the gourd valley was caused by Sima Yi's burning of grain, and in order to boost morale, they also told their subordinates, now that the heavy rain has fallen, wouldn't it save the enemy's grain and grass? The two coaches thought so, and the soldiers under their command naturally thought so, and their morale dropped greatly for a while, but it was not as good as before.

As soon as the morale of the Wu and Wei armies fell, the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty fought more ruthlessly. On the battlefield, blood and rain are mixed together, dyeing the loess under your feet into red mud. Just when the three armies were fighting hard, suddenly the shouts of killing behind the Wu and Wei armies were loud, overshadowing the sound of wind, rain, thunder and lightning.

Sun Quan and Cao Pi thought it was Sima Yibing at the beginning, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed, but they couldn't distinguish the banner of the comer in the stormy night. When the soldiers and horses behind them were approaching, Sun Quan and Cao Pi saw clearly who was coming through the thunder and lightning, and they couldn't help but be shocked.

Ma Chao and Huang Zhong didn't expect to approach the rear of the Wu and Wei armies so smoothly, seeing that Sun Quan and Cao Pi's handsome banners were close in front of them. The second general shouted and led the army straight forward.

Where are Sun Quan and Cao Pi opponents of Ma Chao and Huang Zhong, seeing the two generals wielding swords and spears and riding horses, they turned their heads and ran, and fled into the army in a blink of an eye. Huang Zhong and Ma Chao didn't have time to find the two, Huang Zhongce immediately stepped forward and cut off the flag of the Wu army, and Ma Chao stabbed to death the flag keeper of the Wei army with one shot. As soon as the two handsome flags fell, the second general led his corporal and shouted: "Sun Quan and Cao Pi are dead!" Why don't the armies descend quickly! After that, he rushed into the rear ranks of the Wu and Wei armies, setting off a bloody storm.

The two sergeants of Wu and Wei looked back, and sure enough, the handsome banner was missing, and the rear army was in chaos, and they couldn't help but panic. Zhao Yun saw that the time had come, and shouted: "Breaking the enemy is today, and the whole army will fight with me!" With that, he rushed out of the camp first.

Yang Xiong, Wei Yan, and Pang De saw Zhao Yun leading troops to kill, and they also killed from three sides. The four groups of men and horses were divided into four roads, like four long dragons, and they were like breaking bamboos into the two armies of Wu and Wei, and for a while people shouted and neighed.

Cao Pi and Sun Quan saw that the soldiers and horses of the six roads in front and behind were surrounded, and the soldiers under their command were killed and wounded innumerably, and people kept fleeing and surrendering, so they knew that the big thing was going to happen. The two had no choice but to lead their troops to flee, leaving Lu Meng behind.

Although Lu Meng is both civil and military, where is the opponent of Zhao Yun, Ma Chao and others in terms of martial arts? At this time, the three armies were in chaos, and no matter how high Lu Meng's command could be, he could not turn the tide, only to fight to the death. Zhao Yun stepped forward and fired Lu Meng under the horse, and the soldiers after the break were also defeated.

Sun Quan and Cao Pi learned that Lü Meng had fallen, and saw that the Han army behind them was in hot pursuit, so they ordered Zu Mao, Lü Fan, and Kuai Yue to break off. The three generals fought desperately, although it dragged on for a while, but they were not the opponents of the six generals behind them, and they all died in the chaos one after another.

Taking advantage of the little time that the three generals were fighting for death, Sun Quan and Cao Pi led the remnants of the army to approach their camp. At this time, the heavy rain had stopped, the dark clouds in the sky had dispersed, and the sky was white.

After the rain, the sky was clear, close to the camp, the long night passed, and the red sun began to rise. This situation is the same as the mood of Cao Pi and Sun Quan, and the remnants of Wu and Wei also have a feeling of being alive from death.

is sighing in the hearts of Cao Pi and Sun Quan, "It's good to be alive!" ". Suddenly, there was a drum in the camp, and the flags of the Wu and Wei armies in the camp fell, and the Han Dragon flag was erected. A group of men and horses came out of the camp, and the first general rode a white elephant, wearing purple and gold unicorn armor, and leaning on the heavenly sword at his waist, it was Nan Ye. Dian Wei, Zhou Cang, Guo Jia, Pang Tong, Ma Yunluo, Hua Bei and others will gather around.

Nan Ye drew his sword and pointed at Cao Pi and Sun Quan and said, "I've been waiting here for a long time!" You can't wait to get off your horse and surrender! ”

Sun Quan and Cao Pi knew the plan as soon as they saw Nan Ye here, and it seemed that Nan Ye either didn't go to supervise the construction of the thunderbolt, or he just copied his own camp overnight. No matter what the situation, Sun Quan and Cao Pi didn't dare to fight Nan Ye, so they ran away in fright. Fortunately, the terrain in this mountain is complicated, and there are many paths, even if there are interceptions in front and chasing soldiers in the back, the Wu and Wei armies will not have no way to escape.

Although there is a road in the mountains, it is not a wide road, even though the Wu and Wei armies divided their troops, they still blocked the path, and many soldiers died because they trampled on each other. Cao Pi and Sun Quan escaped for their lives because of the horse in front, but the rear army was blocked by the path and could not cross, Nan Ye ordered people to persuade them to surrender, and Wu and Wei soldiers, who had nowhere to escape, fell to their knees and surrendered.

After Nan Ye collected the defeated army, he divided his troops and marched, and all walks of life crossed the border and went straight to Youzhou. The army led by Sun Quan and Cao Pi was all buried, where are the troops to defend Youzhou? So the two were defeated all the way, and Sun Quan led his troops through Liaodong to retreat into the land of Goguryeo and Sanhan. Cao Pi retreated into Xianbei and Wuhuan. Nanye's troops entered Youzhou to occupy Liaodong, and since then all the Central Plains have been owned by Nanye. If you don't count the new places such as Xianbei, Wuhuan, Xiongnu, Goguryeo, and Sanhan, Nanye can be regarded as dominating the world.
