Chapter 104: Zhao Yun is here
Sima Zhao on the hillside had long been attracted by this tragic offensive and defensive battle.
He saw that the Shu general was playing drums at first, and then he was holding the wine jar and drinking, and then, he jumped down from the carriage crookedly, picked up a spear and blocked it in the middle of the Shu army's camp, and swept a large area with one shot, and quickly emptied the surroundings.
The precarious lineup of the Shu army has been stabilized again.
And the drums and singing never stopped.
There are always soldiers who take turns to go up and play the drums;
The singing voice is a big chorus that is uneven and comes and goes.
The Shu army's defensive line, which seemed to collapse at any time, still stood on the canyon after the Wei army's repeated attacks.
Xu Huang's first round of cavalry retreated.
Of the 500 Wei cavalry, only about 100 were left when they retreated.
The second wave of infantry also retreated.
More than half of the 800 infantry were damaged when they retreated.
Then came the third, fourth, fifth......
The fight began in the early hours of the morning and lasted until dusk.
Although the position of the Shu army continued to shrink, it never fell.
When the light began to dim, the sky sank, and the canyon finally returned to calm after a busy day.
"That Shu general, can you continue to play a miracle?"
Even Sima Zhao, who was on the battlefield for the first time, saw that the Shu army camp was at the end of the crossbow and could not hold out for long.
Maybe it will be broken tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, in short, it won't last for 2 days.
"Hoo ......"
Sima Zhao watched the battle for a day, and suddenly felt dizzy, and his whole body and mind were exhausted.
The previous energy was too much to invest.
When I relaxed, I felt an indescribable weakness all over my body.
There is an extra wall in my heart, which is uncomfortable.
He rubbed his head, and was about to ask his soldiers to arrange dinner, when suddenly a herald ran in the distance, and before anyone arrived, a voice came, "General, I am ordered by the Governor of the Metropolitan to return to the camp immediately." ”
Sima Zhao was still thinking about tomorrow's Armageddon, and asked casually, "Why?" ”
"General, Zhuge Liang's army is here, and the governor of the capital orders you to return to the camp quickly."
Sima Zhao was stunned, then turned his head to look at the Shu general's camp, and suddenly felt that the battlefield in the canyon was full of variables in an instant.
It depends on whether Xu Huang can break through the Shu army camp before Zhuge Liang's reinforcements arrive.
If it is not at that time, then this Shu will probably be able to escape.
"Then Xu Huang should have also received the news, but I don't know if he will fight at night tonight."
A thought suddenly popped into Sima Zhao's mind, then he shook his head and followed his soldiers out of the hillside.
The position of the Shu army in the canyon.
Cao Jun almost collapsed and sat on the carriage.
The last jar of wine was also used up.
After several days of fighting, the physical exertion was serious, and the body and mind were exhausted.
If the Wei army continues to maintain such an offensive intensity tomorrow, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold it.
Cao Jun once again felt deeply frustrated.
The few means that have been exhausted.
If he hadn't seen the situation wrong today and launched a drunken fist in time, I'm afraid the Shu army camp would have been breached.
It's a cloudy day again.
Cao Jun leaned crookedly on the carriage, looked up at the sky, and couldn't find a single cloud.
And the Shu soldiers around him were even more unbearable than him.
Under the continuous attack of the Wei army, almost all the soldiers took turns to fight, some were still panting on the ground, and some could not see the sunrise tomorrow.
Except for the groans of the wounded soldiers, the shouts of the pro-soldiers helping the logistics soldiers to bury the pot and make food, the rest of the other sounds seemed to have disappeared.
No soldier came to him for advice;
Nor did the desperate wounded soldier come to him to ask when reinforcements would arrive.
It seems that everyone has given up hope of survival from the bottom of their hearts.
At this moment, one more day of life is one more day of earning.
This is a real mourning force!
If the Wei army comes to attack tomorrow, let me accompany them to burn the last trace of energy.
Soldiers can do this, as a general, why should I ask for an only child?
After the thoughts in Cao Jun's mind were disturbed for a while, he gradually calmed down.
Night soon covered the land.
At dawn, the sky was about to dawn, and Cao Jun was in a daze, when suddenly a personal soldier lay beside him and shook him desperately, "General, there seems to be movement in the rear of the Wei army's camp. ”
Cao Jun shook his head, he saw a look of surprise in the eyes of the soldier, and then he also thought of something.
Isn't it that reinforcements are coming?
Cao Jun suddenly turned over and got up.
Standing on the carriage, he found that as far as the eye could see, he could only see the frontline positions of the Wei army.
Then it turned to the drums of war.
Looking into the distance, I can finally see a rough idea.
I saw that the flank and rear of the Wei army suddenly poured in a black mass, which immediately caused chaos in the camp.
At the same time, the drums of war followed.
After hearing the sound of war drums, the surrounding Shu troops also followed suit.
They saw Cao Jun alone on the war drums, and they all held their breath for a while, and after a while, Cao Jun jumped down from it violently, with a surprise on his face that he had escaped.
"Brothers, there is a big chaos in the rear of the Wei army's camp, I'm afraid that reinforcements are coming."
"Everyone is ready, this is our last chance to escape, for the sake of the dead robe, for the sake of the relatives in our hometown, we must live."
The position then became noisy.
There were suppressed cheers to the extreme, and there were sobs of joy and tears.
All of them are mobilized.
Cao Jun continued to climb into the carriage, he let his soldiers stand on the carriage, and together they lifted a shield, and stood on the shield himself, and after the height was raised, he could see farther.
The dark clouds behind the Wei army's position kept wriggling forward, gradually becoming a long and oblique passage that came straight to this side.
By this time, Cao Jun was already sure that reinforcements were coming.
I just don't know which general is the leader.
After two quarters of an hour, it was getting clearer.
The dark clouds that had entered the rear of the Wei army's position gradually took on color.
The leader, the white horse and silver spear were unstoppable, taking advantage of the chaos of the Wei army at dawn, he continued to stab forward, and soon he was less than two arrows away from the Shu army's position in the encirclement.
It was about to chisel through the Wei army's position.
Cao Jun finally saw the banner raised by his own soldiers behind him.
There is a big 'Zhao' character written on it.
"It's General Zhao Zilong!"
Cao Jun couldn't control the joy in his heart, and jumped off the shield.
"All the soldiers who can fight, take up their weapons and rush forward with me, the soldiers who can't fight, try to follow behind, don't fall behind, our reinforcements are coming."
All the Shu troops were ready, even the wounded soldiers who had difficulty moving, and they were also supported together, with the joy of escaping death on their faces.
Cao Jun looked around, swept over each soldier's face, and his heart was also shocked.
"These mourning soldiers have all experienced life and death trials with me, and if they can rush out alive, they will all become my personal soldiers."
Cao Jun suddenly changed his mind again.
He decided to personally break the rear and rush out as much as possible to protect these wounded soldiers.
"Kill!"
The Wei army attacked and killed the Shu army's position for several days, but it was never broken.
At this moment, he suddenly took the initiative to dismember.
The Shu army wielded the weapons in their hands, lined up in a neat pace, and rushed forward one by one.
Try to get closer to the reinforcements.
Cao's army rode behind and roamed around the front of the battle, cutting down the Wei army that was peeking nearby.
The two Shu armies, in the position of the Wei army, gradually converged.
One of Zhao Yun's personal soldiers found Cao Jun in the chaos and shouted, "General, please get on your horse quickly and kill us together." ”
Only then did Cao Jun find that this reinforcement seemed to be huge, but it was one person and two horsemen, only more than 5,000 people.
If it weren't for Zhao Yun's bravery, and other generals led the troops, I'm afraid it would be difficult to rush in.
Everyone didn't need to say much, after everyone got on the horse one after another, the reinforcements led by Zhao Yun turned around and killed back, and Cao Jun led his own soldiers to break off.
After the initial turmoil, the Wei army quickly stabilized its formation.
It was easy for the Shu army to rush in, but it was much more difficult to kill out.
Cao Jun saw that Zhao Yun was unable to support himself, so he also used a spear to kill the front to help.
"Kill!"
Due to the serious consumption of physical strength and energy, the Cao army at this time is no longer brave as before, but it is not an ordinary general can be defeated, with his joining, the Shu army paused for a moment, and began to slowly squirm forward.
When they reached the rear of the Wei army's position, another general led 500 soldiers to help.
But it was Zhao Yun's deputy general Deng Zhi.
Suddenly, the two groups of people merged into one, and they did not love war, they entered directly from the diagonal rear of the Wei army, and then came out from the diagonal rear, leaving behind the rolling dust, and then beat the horse away without hesitation.
Under the lonely mountain of the Ma Tan Tun army, a reinforcement army also appeared, and the leading generals were Zhang Bao and Guan Xing.
After they rescued the trapped Shu army, they also slowly retreated.
In a large camp not far from here, Zhuge Liang was leading the army to look at Sima Yi from afar, and after the troops on both sides returned one after another, Cao Jun learned of Zhuge Liang's arrangement.
When Zhuge Liang received the camp map sent by Cao Jun, he had already sensed that the street pavilion would be lost, so he immediately made a decision and gave up preparations to attack Chang'an and Luoyang.
Troops were dispatched one after another.
First, Wei Yan was ordered to lead the army back to Yangping Pass to hold the main road in Hanzhong;
After that, all the soldiers and horses outside were recalled and quickly returned to the street pavilion.
And Zhao Yun's department also received an order to aid the street pavilion.
Later, one person rode in two, and at dawn, he killed Xu Huang by surprise, which saved the 2,000 sergeants of Cao Jun.
This street pavilion accident led to the destruction of Zhuge Liang's Northern Expedition, and he lost another general (Gao Xiang) and tens of thousands of soldiers.
It can be described as a good situation, but it fell short.
Ma Jian is to blame.
More than half of Cao's army headquarters was lost, and almost all of the remaining soldiers were wounded, and half of them even suffered lifelong disabilities, so they could no longer be called qualified soldiers.
After Cao Jun returned to the camp, he did not dare to stay for a moment, and directly entered the big tent of the Chinese army to attend the meeting.
After Cao Jun entered the account, he found that Zhuge Liang was standing in the big tent, his face was miserable, his body was even more slender, and his entire spirit became dull with the loss of the street pavilion.
The other generals didn't dare to say a word.
The whole tent was filled with an atmosphere of pain.
"Prime Minister!"
Cao Jun shouted silently, and then retreated to the right corner to stand still.
After Zhuge Liang saw him, he finally had a trace of spirit.
For the first time, he reached out and grabbed Cao Jun's arm, looked at it carefully from top to bottom, then nodded, and sighed sincerely: "Wenwu! It is good that you will come back safely. ”
"If even you are folded in the street pavilion, it will really be the biggest loss of our army!"
Cao Jun felt Zhuge Liang's concern from the bottom of his heart, and his heart was also soft, and he asked weakly, "Prime Minister, what is the situation now?" ”
"What's the situation?"
