Chapter 373: Defeated and retreated, the war was over for the time being
The team of 4,000 people, like two sharp knives, was straight into the center of Xiahou Yuan's army, because the army was rushing forward, for Zhang Liao and Yu Ban, who suddenly jumped out on both sides, they didn't have time to defend at all, they were cut off by the two from the middle, and Xiahou Yuan, who rushed to the front, was even more this Guan Yu to catch up, and soon was forced to be embarrassed, under the interference of his subordinates, he could withstand Guan Yu's offensive, but he could no longer take care of the command of the army. In a short period of time, the heralds came in several waves, but whenever he wanted to retreat, Guan Yu was like an aper of bones, closely following him, and no one under him could resist Guan Yu, after retreating a few times, instead of being able to withdraw, he put himself in danger several times, and then gave up, as everyone knows, this is exactly what Zhuge Liang planned from the beginning, how can he let him retreat safely?
In a chaotic battle, the 100,000 troops led by Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan fell into the rhythm set up by Zhuge Liang at the beginning, and in the face of powerful generals, even if they regretted it, they had no extra time. However, in the center of the battlefield, a place is particularly weird, where Dian Wei and Xu Chu are located, the soldiers on both sides seem to have a tacit understanding, no one extends the battlefield to the place of the two, and the two of them have exhausted their physical strength earlier, leaving only the 3,000 people around Dian Wei and the 2,000 people behind Xu Chu facing each other, and no one moves.
After this battle, even if Sima Yi didn't want to retreat, there was no way! I don't know when, Zhuge Liang has retreated to the gate of the camp, just a few steps, he can return to the camp, but at this time he has no such thoughts, full of killing and screams in his eyes and ear holes, constantly stimulating his heart, his face is slightly pale, and even his body trembles from time to time, I don't know whether it is frightened or excited. Regardless of his intelligence, he is still just a person after all, a person who has never experienced such a tragic battle, but it should be more of the latter, just this low murmur, it can be seen.
Maybe it was in response to Zhuge Liang's words, half a day later, Xiahou Yuan, who was targeted by Guan Yu, was the first to resist, and the guards around him died I don't know how much, against them, Guan Yu did not have a second knife, Xiahou Yuan's body, the armor on his chest had long been scattered, and on his left arm, an inch of wound was gurgling outward, and under the protection of the guards, he fled in the direction of Hangu Pass. Compared with it, Xiahoudun's situation is much better, although Zhang Jaw is extraordinary, he is still much weaker to Xia Hou Dun, if it weren't for the distraction of the 4,000 people led by Pang De to defeat Xiahou Dun's 20,000 people, now Zhang Jaw is afraid that he has already been defeated, but even so, Zhang Jaw's situation is not much better than Xiahou Yuan.
Xiahoudun, your brother Xiahou Yuan is dying, in a few moments, Yun Chang will definitely be able to leave him, hahaha\u2026\u2026\u2026 At this time, there is really no extra strength in his body, he bit the tip of his tongue, his mind suddenly cleared, and he looked at it, Pang De had long been fighting without knowing where to fight, and in desperation, he could only try to lure Xiahoudun elsewhere.
In fact, Xiahou Yuan had already noticed the situation of his younger brother Xiahou Yuan, but he was dragged by Zhang Jaw earlier, and he couldn't help him, even he had suffered in the hands of Guan Yu, not to mention that his martial arts were worse than him. If it is a foot battle, according to the condition of Zhang Jaw at this time, he only consumes a second of time, but Zhang Jaw on the horse, with the help of the horse, and he delays for a moment and a half, it will not be a big problem, and Zhang Jaw is not far away, after all, there are still his personal guards there watching, they will rush up at any time, after thinking about it, Xiahou Dun still gave up the temptation to kill Zhang Jaw, his eyes narrowed slightly, he snorted disdainfully at Zhang Jaw, and beat the horse and ran in the direction of Xiahou Yuan.
Huh\u2026\u2026 opened his jaw and let out a heavy breath, then slumped on the horse's back, the guards not far away saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward to protect the open jaw in the middle, and then retreated towards the gate of the camp, Zhuge Liang ordered people to send him back to the village to rest, but he still stayed at the gate of the camp, waiting for the end of the war.
After all, there are more than 100,000 people, since Xiahou Yuan broke and fled, in the blink of an hour, the soldiers on Sima Yi's side on the entire battlefield began to show signs of large-scale defeat, and on the battlefield within a radius of more than ten miles, the soldiers who were scattered could be seen everywhere. Soon, there were at least 40,000 people, kneeling on the ground and surrendering to the corporal of Zhuge Liang's tent who rushed up, and only more than 30,000 people really escaped, half a day of killing, more than 40,000 people on both sides died on the battlefield, like Shura Hell on the battlefield, from time to time screams rang out, and the shouts of killing gradually drifted away until the news disappeared.
Military advisor, Fang won a big victory, but unfortunately Xiahou Yuan let Xiahou Yuan save him. After sending half of his men to pursue the enemy with Pang De and the others, Guan Yu ordered the rest of the people to start cleaning up the battlefield, and he walked to Zhuge Liang's side, shouting excitedly.
It doesn't matter, there was no intention to leave the generals under Cao Cao's account behind, but even if they can escape back to Hangu Pass, this Hangu Pass will not be able to hold it, you tell the soldiers, let them clean up the camp after cleaning the battlefield, and the whole army is ready to move to Hangu Pass. Zhuge Liang waved his hand absently and smiled.
At the head of Hangu Pass, Sima Yi saw the vast dust and smoke rising from a distance, rolling in the direction of the pass, and suddenly chuckled in his heart, according to the time, even if the war was won, Xiahou Yuan should have sent someone to Guanzhong to inform him first, and he would not pursue or not pursue, just cleaning the battlefield, and it took a lot of time, and there would definitely be no such situation, then there was only one possibility, the war, defeated! Just, how is that possible?
yes, how is that possible? Don't Sima Yi, even the three of Xiahou Yuan, Xiahou Yuan, and Dian Wei, who were defeated and escaped, were also aggrieved at this time, the three of them fought happily, but above the war, they completely fell into Zhuge Liang's trap, and the abilities of the three of them were not able to be brought into play at all, Dian Wei was better, he was not good at commanding the war, and the two Xiahou brothers were different. 100,000 against 40,000, under such a large gap between the soldiers, but they were killed in the frontal hostility, but the two of them did not have a confident understanding of the combat power of Zhuge Liang's soldiers, and the two of them at this time, they couldn't wait to hit the wall, look at the remaining more than 30,000 people around them, and then look at the Zhuge Liang army chasing behind them, the two of them felt sad in their hearts.
Brother, you lead the people to retreat first, and stay behind to resist for a while. Xiahou Yuan supported his body, looked at the gate not far away, and said to Xiahou Yuan beside him, he led the troops all the year round, and he knew very well in his heart that with their situation, it was obviously impossible to retreat to Guanzhong safely, and there must be one person left to act as a defense, otherwise under the impact of these stragglers, I am afraid that before they all withdraw to Guanzhong, Zhuge Liang's soldiers will come over, and at that time, Hangu Pass will really be in danger.
No, you take Dian Wei away and stay, the two of you are too seriously injured, and it is futile to stay, if there is a mistake, let me explain to the eldest brother. Xiahoudun's face sank, and he said in a deep voice to the two, and then, regardless of the opposition of the two, he called the guards to bring the two and rushed towards Hangu Pass, while Xiahoudun took 10,000 soldiers and set up a military formation not far from the gate, waiting for the pursuers to come.
There is a saying, nine times out of ten things that are unsatisfactory in life, Xiahoudun wanted to delay time and let Xiahou Yuan and Dian Wei enter the customs first, but things were not so easy, just when the two of them walked to the gate with the soldiers, a shout of killing suddenly sounded.
Fast, advanced city again. The sudden shouting of killing made the two of them stunned for a moment, this shouting and killing was close to them, I don't know when, Sima Yi had already come down from the gate, standing at the gate and shouting loudly at the two of them. Xiahou Yuan and Dian Wei no longer hesitated, and hurriedly rushed into the pass, and then a group of people rushed out and went straight to the place where Xiahou Yuan was.
You go and clean up, and when Yuan lets the general come back, we will immediately return to Tongguan and Hangu Pass, and we can't hold it. Sima Yi saw the two of them, although the injuries on the two of them looked scary, but at this time he didn't care about them, and after shouting at the two of them loudly, he didn't care about how the two of them reacted, and turned to prepare.
But it turned out that Sima Yi originally wanted to set up a military formation under the pass, so as to fight Zhuge Liang again, but before he could dispatch, he saw Zhuge Liang's soldiers pouring out from the left and right sides of the pass, and he knew that Hangu Pass could no longer be defended. At this time, there are still nearly 50,000 soldiers in Guanzhong, no matter where it is placed, it is enough for Zhuge Liang to drink a pot, but on the contrary, the three generals outside the Guan, he is one who can't be abandoned, save people, abandon the pass, he came up with this countermeasure that is not a countermeasure in a very short time.
Soon, Xiahoudun was also surrounded by people and entered Guanzhong, Sima Yi glanced at the melee that had spread to Guanzhong from a distance, shook his head and sighed: Zhuge Liang, he really deserves to be Zhuge Jin's brother, this kind of scheming is indeed above \u2026\u2026
Everyone was silent, and the three of Xiahoudun were even more annoyed, at this time, more than 20,000 people had withdrawn from the pass, and a few people were here, just to take one last look at the place where they fell.
Let's go, the war won't end like this\u2026\u2026Sima Yi muttered, turned around and drove away.
