Chapter 682: Yin and ruthless should be Sima Yi

Sima Yi and Yan Yan after the meeting in the Dao. After waiting for several days, they found that the situation around them was getting more and more serious, and they thought of retreating at the same time.

Rushing up when you know that the situation is not in your favor is stupid. Neither Sima Yi nor Yan Yan would make such a mistake, so they must have wanted to choose a retreat path with the least resistance and the fewest casualties. After repeated thinking, Sima Yi finally settled on a very ruthless strategy, that is, to let the remaining nearly 20,000 Qiang people serve as cannon fodder to cover the withdrawal of the Yizhou army from the direction of Wudu to Yizhou.

Sima Yi ordered his adjutant general Wu Ban to lead 10,000 Qiang men to face west, attack the defense line of the 5,000 heavily armed division of Wang Shuang's road, and make a posture that the Yizhou army was preparing to break through to the west; he also ordered his adjutant general Jiang Bin to lead the remaining 8,000 Qiang men to the south and march down the Western Han River to capture Wudu Road.

These two troops were nothing more than cannon fodder, the main purpose of which was to buy time for the main force of the Yizhou army, and at the same time disrupt the line of sight of the vanguard army, so that they could not see which route Sima Yi was preparing to retreat from. However, the sad thing is that Wu Ban and Jiang Bin didn't know the power, and they were really able to make great achievements for this opportunity to serve as vanguard generals.

Sima Yi brought together the remnants of Zhang Wei from Shangguo, the more than 17,000 Yizhou soldiers brought by Yan Yan, and the 10,000 soldiers he brought out from Yixian County, gathered 30,000 people, and put them under his own command. Yan Yan was temporarily appointed as the left general, Zhang Wei was appointed as the right general, Liu Bi and Yang Ang were appointed as the left and right vanguards, and Chen Shi and Yang Ren were appointed as the left and right guards, and the field was finally propped up.

After Wu Ban and Jiang Bin led their troops to leave, Sima Yi immediately commanded 20,000 Yizhou troops to the upper reaches of the Western Han River in the southeast of the Dao, and began to build embankments here, as if they wanted to artificially build a dam upstream of the Western Han River to gather the river water.

A few days later, the 10,000 Qiang people led by Wu Ban encountered Wang Shuang's ruthless resistance in the Liangqu Valley, and the Qiang people who were not afraid of death rushed up one after another, but they were ruthlessly killed in the valley by the officers and soldiers of the heavy division.

Even if Wu Ban wanted to make meritorious contributions before the battle, he could also weigh the weight, and when he saw that the heavy armorer was so powerful, he knew that it was not Wang Shuang's opponent, so he hurriedly took the remaining 5,000 Qiang people and fled eastward from Liangqu Valley, leaving only a corpse to feed the wolves in the valley at night.

The Qiang troops who broke through to the south on the other road, under the leadership of Jiang Bin, finally arrived at Wudu Road after several days of travel. It's a pity that Fu Zhu had expected it and ordered Liu Shi to lead the 5,000 infantry of the Second Light Division to enter Wudu Dao in advance, so it was destined that Jiang Bin's sneak attack would become a stage for the officers and soldiers of the Second Light Division to show their archery skills. How could the Qiang people, who had no rattan armor on their bodies and were only wearing animal skins, be able to withstand the powerful salvo of the Jin State's super-powerful bow? Therefore, after being shot from a long distance by the Second Light Division, Jiang Bin turned around and retreated very familiarly.

Wu Ban and Jiang Bin both made military orders in front of the tent, and now they have returned in vain, and once they return to Didao, they will definitely be killed. Although these two people did not come together, they were quite well-informed, and they even chose to go into the mountains at the same time to escape for their lives! In the northwest area of Wudu, there is no production or not, and there are no famous places, but there are many dense mountains and forests, and Sima Yi took thousands of people to hide in the mountains, and Sima Yi really had nothing to do with him for a while.

Originally, Sima Yi didn't pin his hopes on Wu Ban and Jiang Bin, but these two guys had a hide-and-seek with Sima Yi, which was still beyond Sima Yi's expectations. After the construction of the barrage embankment in the upper reaches of the Western Han Dynasty was completed, there was still no news of Wu Ban and Jiang Bin, and Sima Yi only thought that these two had been wiped out by the vanguard army, so he took the 25,000 Yizhou army down the river again and rushed straight to Wudu Road.

Before leaving, Sima Yi ordered Chen Shi and Yang Ren, the generals of the left and right protectors, to blow up the embankment that had just been built with a part of the gunpowder carried by the 10,000 troops who had followed Sima Yi to the road the day after the army left. Sima Yi led the soldiers of the Yizhou Army who were wearing rattan armor and were not afraid of flooding down the river and rushed straight towards Wudu Road.

After arriving at Wudu Dao, Sima Yi ordered a part of his soldiers to rush to the city at the risk of death, stuffed the last remaining gunpowder into the city gate hole, and then quickly ignited it. This time, the gunpowder of the Yizhou army finally exploded with power, blowing up a big gap in the gate of Wudu.

After seeing the destruction of the city gate of Wudu Road, Sima Yi did not order the troops to be stationed, but led the army to the high ground next to him. It didn't take long for a violent flood to flow down the river and quickly rush into the city of Wudu Dao, engulfing the city in an instant.

This time, Liu Shi, who was stationed in Wudu Dao, was not as lucky as Cao Xing, he was directly swept away by the huge flood that rushed in his face, and he didn't even have time to give his last words before he died.

In the face of the huge flood, even Zhao Xing himself could not escape, so the officers and soldiers of the 5,000 Light Second Division, except for a few soldiers who had good water quality and just grabbed the floating objects, the rest were buried in this man-made flood.

After the flood peak passed, Sima Yi immediately ordered the troops to take advantage of the water potential behind them to go down, and passed through Shanglu City downstream and the fortress close to the Guanghan vassal state at the fastest speed, and actually escaped from Shengtian like this!

When the news of Sima Yi building an embankment in the upper reaches of the Western Han River to flood Wudu Road reached Xiazhi, he was shocked and hurriedly led his troops to the lower reaches of the Western Han River to intercept it, but unfortunately it was still a step too late, and it was still for Sima Yi to escape. So he transferred all the anger in his heart to Chen Shi and Yang Ren, who were still staying in Didao, and got in touch with Jia Xu in the Tiger Valley as quickly as possible, and then the two armies surrounded Didao County and captured the remaining 5,000 Yizhou soldiers and Chen Shi and Yang Ren alive.

Zhang He, who had just captured Shangguo and was about to come west, heard the news that Sima Yi had escaped from the Western Han Dynasty using the water escape strategy, and immediately led 40,000 soldiers to the east.

Wang Shuang, who guarded the West Road, was very angry when he learned that Sima Yi had left, so he personally led his soldiers into the mountains to arrest Wu Ban and Jiang Bin and others.

Zhao Xing, who was still near Chang'an, didn't speak for a long time after hearing that Sima Yi had finally escaped from Shengtian. In the end, he actually said slowly: "Seize the time to rescue the officers and soldiers of the Second Light Division who were swept away by the water, properly dispose of the bodies of the soldiers who were killed, and at the same time count the casualties of the nearby people, inform Zhang Ziwei, and hurry up to write a report, so as to show the world Sima Yi's despicable means of flooding Wudu Dao regardless of the army and the people!"
