In the Guanzhong Plain in early spring, the temperature is still very low, especially at night when it rains lightly.

Having lost all the cavalry, Xu Zhisuo's troops fell into an even worse situation, in a dilemma, and had to choose a nearby position to camp; The camping process was not pleasant, in the first half, because occasionally Deng Zhi would lead the cavalry to disturb, Xu Zhen had to arrange half of the army to serve as a guard, and in the second half, the sky was not beautiful, it actually began to rain lightly, and the sky got dark faster.

The moon is dark and the night rain is the time of the sneak attack.

The Wei army was worried that the Han Yulin cavalry would come to attack at night; The hastily built camp only ensures the value of defense, shelter from the wind and rain, and it is enough to choke; Worried, coupled with the cold, even if you don't have a night vigil, you can't sleep soundly; In fact, all night, the Yulin cavalry did attempt to sneak attack many times, although there was no loss of real surnames, but it also made the Wei army make trouble for a whole night.

The cold and rainy night also made the Yulin cavalry unhappy, and the war horse was okay to say, this little cold meaning, people were more uncomfortable; As soon as night fell, Deng Zhi divided the more than 5,000 Yulin cavalry into 5 teams, and 1 team was divided into two squads; One squad went to the temporary camp of the Wei army to harass, the other squad served as a guard, and the remaining 4 teams rested; In units of 1 hour, the shift will be changed at the end of the hour.

The result is obvious, the cold is a little colder, but the Yulin cavalry can still get a stable rest, which is much better than the Wei army under Xu Zhisuo.

On this night, not only Xu Zhen was unstable, but Sima Yi was also unstable in Chang'an City, dozens of kilometers away, although he could choose to sleep in the warm quilt......

Before the fall, the defenders in the north of the city came to report, and a large number of Han cavalry galloped from east to west, and finally entered Fufeng County; Because of the distance, no one noticed that half of them were actually the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, and these poor fellows, their legs were tightly tied to the saddle, and their hands were tied behind their backs; Unable to balance with his arms, unable to control his horse, even a skilled soldier could not stand such a long run.

For Sima Yi, this is obviously pretty bad news.

The cavalry of the Han army heading east actually returned safely, which shows that there must be something wrong with the Xu Zhisuo department who went to pursue; Faced with the confusing situation, Sima Yi's head was as big as a fight, and it was difficult to judge.

The rain of spring is coming; Before night fell, the sky began to drizzle, and 5 groups of exploration horses rushed out from the east of Chang'an City one after another; The stakes are very high, not only Sima Yi, but even Hao Zhao, Sima Zhao and other important or confidant generals, no one dares to rest; Except for those who were on duty at the head of the four sides, the rest of the personnel gathered in the Governor's Mansion honestly and accompanied Sima Yi to discuss the current battle situation, of course, no matter how you conceive it, you still have to wait for the return of the horse to be determined.

There is a saying that the house leak happened to rain overnight; Sima Yi and the others waited for three hours, and the five groups of scouts they sent did not hear from them at all...... In this case, there are three possibilities; One is that it's all hung up; the second is that I didn't find any problems all the way and ran away; The third is that the abnormality was found in a distant place, but the weather was poor, and the speed of rushing at night was slow, and it was on the way.

At night, the war horse has a much better vision than humans, but it is obviously not as good as during the day, not to mention that it is still raining lightly; Sima Yi They are more inclined to the latter two possibilities, a group of 5 people to explore the horse, the target is small, it is easy to run, and the possibility of full hanging is very low; However, for the sake of safety, just after the time of the child, another 5 groups of scouts were sent out to Chang'an City.

It was not that the Wei army's horse exploration was not dutiful, in fact, they were very conscientious and carried out their tasks in full accordance with the Wei army's standards for exploring horses.

25 kilometers east of Chang'an City, it is Wang Jun and 20,000 Yulin Army foot soldiers; 5 kilometers further east, is Deng Zhi's 5,000 forest cavalry; If they continue to the east for 3 kilometers, it will be their temporary military camp. The first thing that the Wei army discovered was the temporary camp of the Wang army; As the son of Zhang Liao, Zhang Hu, the lieutenant general of the Yulin Army, completely inherited his father's strategy, even if it was a temporary military camp, it was also arranged without leakage; And the newly appointed Zhonglang general Wang Ping is also rigorous.

After the First Battle of Wuzhangyuan, the remnants of the Wudang Fei Army who fled were captured by the Yulin cavalry who crossed Weishui, and surrendered to Wang Ping; The combat power of the Wudang Flying Army is actually very good, but they unfortunately encountered the pervert of Wang Jun, and half of them were directly abolished by the Vulcan Cannon. The Wudang Flying Army, which is completely composed of ethnic minority warriors, is good at mountain warfare and defensive warfare; In addition, they were originally excellent hunters, lurking and hunting wild beasts, and all of them were good hands; It is precisely for this reason that the Wudang Flying Army likes to arrange dark posts from a distance, and there is no army in history that can successfully attack the Wudang Flying Army at night.

Groups of Wei troops probed their horses, and carefully touched the vicinity of the Han army camp; The rainy night was a good cover for them, but it also affected their observation; On the way, large and small shrubs and dirt bags, who will care about it on a rainy night?

In the slight sound of bowstrings, deadly poisonous arrows shot out at a very close distance, harvesting fresh lives one by one; When the poisoned arrow entered the body, the Wei army had not even figured out what was happening, and what was even more tragic was that they didn't even know whether it was their own people or the enemy in the dark camp in front of them.

Wang Jun, dressed in military uniform, mastered everything outside the camp through spiritual perception, and his face was full of smiles; To be honest, I am satisfied with the overall performance of the Yulin Army today, even if I don't come today, the result is not too much worse; If they are willing to pay some casualties and do not ask for the number of prisoners, the Yulin army will have a chance to completely defeat Xu Zhen during the day...... But Wang Jun needs troops now, and if he can, he won't kill him.

The team can work slowly, and now, it's time to do their own work.

…………

The drizzle, like a night watchman, at dawn, ends work; Followed by the rumbling of war drums.

500 meters west of the Wei army's temporary camp, Deng Zhi led more than 5,000 cavalry to form a five-line deep queue; The demonstration significance of the formation, which is more than 1 kilometer wide on the front, is far greater than the significance of actual combat.

The war drums of the temporary camp of the Wei army stopped beating for only a short time; Panic and panic permeated the entire barracks like a plague...... The main general Xu Zhen is missing! The Tiger Lie General Dianlin of the backbone battalion is missing! …… In short, the dozen or so bigwigs who hung up the title of "general" are all gone!

Captain Li, who guarded the camp gate, was indignant and revealed a shocking news to everyone; Just after the ugly hour, the main general Xu Zhen and a bunch of generals left the camp gate with 5,000 soldiers of the backbone battalion and never returned; At that time, everyone thought that they were going to counterattack the Yulin cavalry, and they secretly admired it, but now it seems that there is a good chance that Xu Zhen is running away at night!

The makeshift barracks were full of people and noisy; Fleeing in fear of battle was not uncommon in the Three Kingdoms period, but a bunch of generals left tens of thousands of soldiers and fled with only elite troops, which was too much!

There are more than 5,000 Yulin cavalry guarding outside the camp, and the Wei army is scattered, so naturally no one wants to go out to fight; Run away? Anyway, many people have this idea, but no one wants to start, not because they are afraid of military law, but because they are afraid of being killed by the Yulin cavalry.

More than half an hour later, Zhang Hu and Wang Ping appeared behind Deng Zhi with less than 20,000 Yulin foot soldiers; Because he had to take prisoners of more than 2,000 Wei light cavalry, Zhang Hu could only leave 2,000 foot soldiers; The addition of more than 2,000 war horses allowed Zhang Hu to form a 2,000 "temporary cavalry", although in essence, they were still foot soldiers, but it was still possible to scare and scare the Wei army.

The face of the Wei army in the camp was even more ugly, as soon as the reinforcements of the Han army arrived, there were not only more than 10,000 foot soldiers, but also thousands of cavalry; It's okay to say that the infantry soldiers didn't have the idea of fighting anyway, everyone was thinking about how to run, and the key was the cavalry...... In the vast wilderness, who can outrun the cavalry with two legs?

The two generals, Zhang Hu and Wang Ping, commanded the infantry to bypass the Wei army camp and spread out a team in the east, forming an east-west attack with Deng Zhi; The scene was so deadlocked, the Wei army wanted to escape, but did not dare to escape, and the Han army only surrounded but did not fight; The Wei army, which has lost its command, is indeed very chaotic, but how can there still be a number of 40,000, if it is pressed, it will still be desperate.

Anyone needs to make a start, whether it's desperately, running away, or surrendering.

Now there are more than a dozen officers in the battalion with the rank of captain; Captain Li, who had previously accused the main general of escaping, instigated his subordinates, drove out of the camp, and surrendered to the Yulin army; Under the concerned gaze of countless Wei troops, the process of surrender was very harmonious, and the Han army was very civilized and polite, and absolutely treated the prisoners preferentially......

One stone stirs up a thousand waves; Few soldiers were willing to fight the Han army in this situation, and it seemed very difficult to escape, and now someone set an example, so groups of Wei troops began to line up to surrender; For most of the soldiers, there was not much frustration, and a few were still elated, after all, there was no need to worry about their lives; Of course, during this period, cursing Xu Zhen and other generals became the main entertainment program for the 47,000 surrendered troops.

In fact, the angry soldiers really wronged Xu Zhen and these generals.

Last night, after Wang Jun, who infiltrated the Wei army camp, found Xu Zhen, the difference in strength between the two sides was huge, and Wang Jun easily controlled him; After that, one by one, Wei Jiang was called to the big tent one after another to talk about things...... Naturally, one by one, they became "temporary" subordinates of Wang Jun; Considering that the combat effectiveness of the backbone battalion was relatively strong, Wang Jun did not do anything, and simply controlled all the people above the level of Dubo in the backbone battalion.

Just after the ugly hour, Wang Jun took Xu Zhen and other generals and led 5,000 backbone battalions to leave the military village and go straight to the west; Wang Jun chose to consume 15 points of mental power to hypnotize a person, which can make him obedient within 72 hours; It's a pity that this work can only be done by one person, and it takes a little time, and when there are too many people, the time consumed is terrible...... There is no such thing as a perfect thing.

Looking at the panicked Wei army, Deng Zhi's expression on his face was very excited, but thousands of cavalrymen actually had this expression; Halfway through the ugly night last night, when Wang Jun passed by the Yulin cavalry camp with a Wei army, Deng Zhi and the others dropped their jaws, and they couldn't believe their eyes.

The jaw dropped to the ground, and there were nearly 5,000 soldiers of the backbone battalion of the Wei army; They don't understand very much, isn't it just a light rain, why did the head and brain take refuge in the King of Han?

As one of the five elites of the Wei army, the soldiers of the backbone battalion actually did not buy Xu Qian, a local general; However, the Tiger Lie General Dianlin, 5 Du Lieutenants, 10 Qu Chang, and 50 Du Bo of the backbone battalion, they all obediently listened to the words of King Han, whether they understood it or not, no one would squeak among the small soldiers and small officers.

The orange-yellow sun is gradually setting to the west, and today is a rare good sunny day for the Guanzhong Plain.

Chang'an City, which covers an area of more than 42 square kilometers, is still intact; On the top of the city, which was as high as 12.6, heavily armed Wei soldiers patrolled back and forth, and officers of the rank of lieutenant and above were constantly inspecting the defense along the tower, and the atmosphere was extremely tense; in fact, pessimism and disappointment had permeated the entire Chang'an City.

At about noon, Dian Lin took more than 3,500 backbone battalion soldiers to "escape" back to Chang'an City; The bad news of the annihilation of the 60,000 army spread throughout Chang'an in just over an hour. The main general Xu Zhen collaborated with the enemy, part of the army mutinied, and the Han army was ambushed, and the soldiers loyal to the Wei State were slaughtered; Dian Lin also told Sima Yi with great grief that if it weren't for the 1,500 warriors under his command who volunteered to stay behind to block the pursuers, it would be difficult for him to come back alive; The soldiers of the backbone battalion who "luckily" fled back to Chang'an City were covered with mud and bloodstains, and many of the soldiers' armor was covered with terrifying knife marks, silently telling the cruelty of the "bloody battle".

Sima Yi did not trust Dianlin, because he was Emperor Wei's man, not his own; But as far as this matter is concerned, Sima Yi still believes most of it, at least the fact that he was beaten miserably by the Han army, it is absolutely true; However, in peace, whether it is the backbone battalion or the Xiaocai battalion that the whole army has been wiped out, all of them are arrogant.

In short, Sima Yi was suspicious of Xu Qian's rebellion.

However, believe it or not, 60,000 people left the city, and 3,500 people did return; This means that Sima Yi has lost the strength to turn the tables on the Guanzhong Plain, and not only that, if no reinforcements arrive, it seems that Chang'an City is also in danger; Faced with the result of this tragedy, Sima Yi was angry and anxious.

Since ancient times, everything has been happy to make things worse, and the matter of sending charcoal in the snow is basically a legend.

In the evening, Xu Zhen appeared outside the city with a large number of Han troops and shouted to the defenders at the head of the city to surrender; Xu Zhen's hand not only confirmed the charge of collaborating with the enemy, proved everything Dian Lin said, but also seriously hit the morale of the Wei army in the city; However, the Han army did not launch an offensive, and only shook around the city before retreating.

Chang'an City at night, full of lights; As the second most prosperous city in China during this period, the permanent population reached more than 150,000, plus the so-called floating population, as well as the army, and now the city is full of nearly 230,000 people; Relatively speaking, the cities occupied by the royal army were pitiful and completely small.

The atmosphere in the council chamber of the Governor's Mansion was extremely depressing.

The eight miscellaneous generals, Dian Lin, Hao Zhao, and Sima Zhao, were in groups of three or five, all muttering quietly.

Sima Yi sat on the big chair, silent, his face a little pale; The pride when he took over the Western Front has long since disappeared, and he has lost even the battle, and even his son has died, which is much worse than Cao Zhen at the beginning; By defeating the Han army, so as to go further, this is Sima Yi's original plan, now, let alone go further, thank God not to be angered by Emperor Wei Ming.

The streets outside the Governor's Mansion were deserted because of the war; Several huge lanterns hang above the gate, swaying slightly in the wind; Eighteen soldiers stood on either side of the gate, without saying a word, while the two chiefs gathered at the gate and muttered quietly; In order to maintain a low-key image in the heart of Emperor Wei Ming, Sima Yi's personal guard battalion was very small, only two hundred people; Compared with Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu, who hung up, Sima Yi's personal guards are three hundred less, of course, these are all for others to see.

On the left side of the gate, dozens of soldiers were divided into two groups; A small group gathered together to brag and fart, and the other group had more people, and the military appearance was strict and neat, and they didn't say a word.

"Look, these guys are still putting up a fight...... What a backbone battalion, it's not the same as escaping goods. Sergeant Armor muttered quietly.

"That is, the treatment is better than ours, the shelf is bigger than anyone else, and the level of war is like this." Soldier B was equally indignant.

"Our general is here, and he will take me and the dog; Look at them, there are actually three people here...... Just a Tiger General, what a big pomp! Soldier C also joined the conversation.

"My general also brought us two ......"

One by one, the soldiers began to join in, and it was clear that the topic was very much in line with their appetites.

As the night darkened, the guards guarding the door had changed two rounds, but the bigwigs still did not come out; The 30 backbone battalion soldiers were silent, but the personal guards of more than a dozen other generals began to get irritable, bragging and fartizing, which would also consume energy.
