Chapter 608: Abandoning Weapons and Kneeling Cao Zhen's Death

With the assistance of many flammable materials, the fire burning in the Wei camp on Wuzhang Plain soon showed an uncontrollable situation.

The raging fire not only engulfed everything in the Wei camp, but also caused puffs of black smoke that soared into the sky.

As the thick black smoke continued to rise into the air, the Wei army, which was fighting with the Han army in Weibei, soon noticed this scene.

At first, a part of the Wei army was aware of it.

And this part of the Wei army immediately exclaimed in surprise after seeing the smoke rising from Wuzhang Plain.

The exclamation from this part of Wei Jun's mouth gradually attracted the attention of the surrounding comrades.

At first, many Wei soldiers did not understand why those comrades would exclaim for no reason.

But when they followed the horrified gaze of those comrades, a scene that was enough to shatter their hearts appeared in their eyes.

Tens of thousands of Wei troops came from the big camp on the Wuzhang Plain, and it can be said that the Wei camp on the Wuzhang Plain is their home and their home.

But now, their home, their home, has completely sunk in the black smoke of the sky.

What does the black smoke in the sky symbolize, how could Wei Jun not know it in his heart?

Their place is now being ravaged by fire.

Their home is gone!

Realizing this, many Wei soldiers felt as if there was a cracking sound in their hearts.

Their original determination was still firm, but a crack suddenly appeared.

And this crack is spreading at an extremely fast speed, and in the end, the hearts of tens of thousands of Wei soldiers are full of cracks.

The general said that there is still a glimmer of life in the last battle.

That's what they just thought.

This is the fundamental reason why they are willing to summon up the courage to fight against tens of thousands of Han troops.

But if they don't even have a place to return, then even if they defeat the tens of thousands of Han troops in front of them, what is the use?

What's the use!

The morale of the military is changeable and unpredictable, and the morale of the army will be decadent because of the objective fact that the grain route has been cut off, and it will also be motivated by the personal encouragement of those in high positions.

But the military spirit is also fragile.

The most important thing is that Mi Yang will not make a move, and once he makes a move, he will directly shatter the root of the Wei army's stable military heart.

If we have lost our roots, how can we talk about military morale?

Tens of thousands of Wei soldiers gradually lost hope in their eyes, and after the hope disappeared, it was naturally replaced by a look of despair.

When the desperate eyes filled Wei Jun's eyes, all Wei soldiers couldn't help but put down the weapons in their hands.

First 1,000, then 3,000, and finally this act of direct surrender spread to the whole army at a very rapid pace.

After a large number of Wei troops took the move of abandoning their weapons, it actually symbolized the victory of the Han army.

The move of a large number of Wei troops to abandon their weapons was too sudden, which frightened many Han troops.

Who would have thought that the Wei army, who was still fighting them to the death, would suddenly throw down the weapons in their hands.

It's just that the Han army, which was still in surprise, soon heard an order.

This command came from Zhao Yun's mouth and quickly spread throughout the army.

"Wuzhang Yuan has been captured by the general, and those who abandon their weapons and kneel on the ground will not be killed!"

When tens of thousands of Han soldiers heard Zhao Yun's order, their faces couldn't help but show surprise.

No wonder the enemy suddenly made such an unusual move, it turned out that the great general was helping them!

After thinking of this, the faces of tens of thousands of Han soldiers were full of pride and joy, and they obeyed Zhao Yun's instructions and gave up the move of slashing and abandoning the Wei army on the ground.

And Zhao Yun's order was not only transmitted to tens of thousands of Han troops, but also to tens of thousands of Wei troops.

When tens of thousands of Wei troops heard the orders from the Han army, a large number of Wei troops, who had already abandoned their weapons, also knelt at the feet of the Han army.

If you don't kneel, you'll die!

One by one, as natural as the wind blowing wheat waves, tens of thousands of Wei troops knelt at the feet of the Han army one after another.

And after most of the Wei troops chose to kneel on the ground, the remaining part of the Wei army, which was still armed and stubbornly resisting, naturally had to face the attack of tens of thousands of Han troops.

Tens of thousands of Han troops, under the leadership of their respective generals, turned into teams, crossed the bodies of the Wei soldiers who were kneeling on the ground, and swung their swords towards the thousands of Wei troops.

Most of the thousands of Wei troops were composed of the Wei generals' own soldiers, and because of their sense of belonging to their own lord, they would not directly kneel down and ask for surrender.

But the fighting spirit in my heart will inevitably be hit hard.

And most importantly, tens of thousands against thousands, how can this battle be fought?

Thousands of Wei troops were defeated and retreated under the onslaught of tens of thousands of Han troops.

With the continuous onslaught of tens of thousands of Han troops, even many Wei generals chose to abandon their weapons and kneel on the ground.

This undoubtedly went one step further, greatly weakening the number of those thousands of Wei troops.

In the end, the Wei army, which was only about 2,000, was still stubbornly resisting the onslaught of the Han army.

And the two thousand Wei troops were guarded by the high-ranking Wei generals led by Cao Zhen.

After fighting and retreating, about 2,000 Wei troops escorted Cao Zhen and other Wei generals until they retreated to the shore of Weishui.

They wanted to retreat again, but now they have no way out.

Cao Zhen looked at the mighty Weishui behind him, and then looked at the Han army that was constantly surrounding in front of him, and at this moment, his face also showed a look of despair.

Wang Shuang, who was beside Cao Zhen, was still loudly scolding the tens of thousands of Wei troops who knelt on the ground and asked to surrender.

In Wang Shuang's opinion, they have not lost yet, as long as the tens of thousands of Wei troops pick up the weapons on the ground again, they may not be able to fight with the approaching Han army.

It's just that no matter how angry Wang Shuang reprimanded, the tens of thousands of Wei soldiers kneeling on the ground seemed to have become deaf, and they couldn't hear his roar at all.

Not to mention raising the weapon in his hand again to resist.

Wang Shuang's roar, at this moment, was like a big joke, expounding an ironic fact - tens of thousands of Wei soldiers abandoned their weapons, but none of them were men.

But can this be blamed on the tens of thousands of Wei troops?

One general is incompetent, exhausting the three armies, the truth since ancient times.

Cao Zhen understood this truth, so he stretched out his hand to stop Wang Shuang's unwilling roar.

"It's useless."

"We're defeated."

At this moment, Cao Zhen's tone was full of sadness and dead silence.

And after Wang Shuang heard Cao Zhen's words, he had always listened to Cao Zhen's words in the past, but at this time he rarely had a different opinion.

"General, we are not defeated yet!"

Wang Shuang pointed to the tens of thousands of Wei troops kneeling on the ground not far away and continued, "As long as the general can boost morale like Fang Cai, our army will still have the strength to fight!" ”

A few days ago, in the battle of Wugong River, Wang Shuang fled back to Wuzhangyuan with his excellent martial arts.

But Wang Shuang desperately fled back to Wuzhangyuan, was it to fall into the hands of the Han army again?

Wang Shuang couldn't accept this fact.

His eyes were full of unwillingness.

It's just that his unwillingness did not resonate with Cao Zhen and the other Wei generals beside him.

On the contrary, a sneer came from Guo Huai's mouth.

"With what agitation?"

"Look over there!"

First a rhetorical question, and finally a question!

Under Guo Huai's questioning, Wang Shuang looked in the direction of Guo Huai's finger.

Soon Wang Shuang saw that tens of thousands of Han troops were crossing the Weishui River and heading towards their location.

And the banner of the tens of thousands of Han troops is the military flag of Miyang.

Tens of thousands of Han troops joined the battlefield again, which was already a fact that Wang Shuang could not accept.

What's more, the one who commanded the tens of thousands of Han troops was Mi Yang!

Now Wang Shuang finally understood why his roar could not get a trace of response.

Because after seeing this scene, his hand holding the weapon couldn't help but start to tremble.

They were defeated, and they were defeated!

So what will happen to them?

The Wei army, which was guarding in front of Cao Zhen, fell in batches under the rush of the Han army.

The blood flowing from the bodies of many Wei soldiers gathered under the guidance of the terrain towards the feet of Cao Zhen and the Wei generals.

Stepping on the blood stains of his comrades, a disgusting chill gradually soaked the hearts of all Wei generals.

And as time passed, there was not much left of the Wei army guarding in front of them.

But at this moment, the Han army stopped attacking.

Under the leadership of the general, the Han army turned into phalanxes and firmly surrounded Cao Zhen and other Wei generals.

After seeing the Han army's actions, Cao Zhen couldn't help but look ahead.

If what he expected was correct, Mi Yang should appear soon.

Cao Zhen was right, not long after the time passed, and the originally tight Han army formation suddenly spread out to both sides.

The Han army's movement of spreading out to both sides caused a large avenue to appear in front of Cao Zhen.

In the middle of that avenue, Mi Yang drove a horse and slowly appeared in Cao Zhen's eyes.

Mi Yang, who was sitting on the horse, was full of spirit, and Cao Zhen, who was standing under the horse, was covered with blood, and the posture of the generals of the two dynasties was different, and this moment formed a sharp contrast in the eyes of tens of thousands of people.

Mi Yang's appearance caused a panic among the Wei generals around Cao Zhen.

In the eyes of these Wei generals, Mi Yang was more terrifying than the tens of thousands of Han troops who surrounded them.

Mi Yang drove the horse all the way forward, and only when he came to ten steps in front of Cao Zhen did he stop the horse's hooves.

But before Mi Yang could speak, Cao Zhen spoke first:

"Do you trust him like that?"

Cao Zhen's question, falling in the ears of others, may make them feel confused.

It's just that Mi Yang can understand for the first time who "he" is referring to in Cao Zhen's words.

Mi Yang also knew what the word "believe" in Cao Zhen's mouth was.

"Before I sent my troops to Wuzhangyuan, I didn't expect that I would take Wuzhangyuan so easily."

Mi Yang's answer made Cao Zhen's face look disapproving.

Mi Yang is telling the truth.

His strategy for today's battle was originally as follows:

Let Zhao Yun lead 50,000 Han troops to storm Guo Huai's camp, so as to lure Cao Zhen to lead the army to help.

Then he personally led the remaining Han army to attack the empty Wei army camp in Wuzhangyuan.

Based on Mi Yang's original thoughts, he felt that even if Cao Zhen would lead a large army to rescue Guo Huai, he would leave a lot of soldiers and horses in the Wei army camp in Wuzhangyuan.

At least it won't be so easy to take.

What Mi Yang didn't expect was that when he led the Han army to attack the Wei army camp in Wuzhangyuan, he didn't take it much effort.

This directly caused the Wei army to fall into the current situation of total collapse.

Of course, Cao Zhen could hear that Mi Yang was telling the truth.

But Cao Zhen still couldn't help but sarcastically said:

"Even if you don't capture our army's Wuzhangyuan camp, will the outcome of our army change?"

Faced with Cao Zhen's rhetorical question, Mi Yang replied decisively: "I can't." ”

Mi Yang uses soldiers, and has always paid attention to killing with one hit.

If he can't successfully capture the Wei army camp in Wuzhangyuan, he will also use other methods to remind the Wei army in Weibei that the Wei army camp in Wuzhangyuan has been attacked.

Or Mi Yang can also divide his troops to surround Wuzhangyuan, and then lead his elite troops to cross Weishui and attack the back of the Weibei Wei army.

Either way, the Wei army would end up in a big defeat.

For today's battle, Mi Yang has done too much planning in advance.

Today's World War I is essentially just a natural ending.

"You know, I don't have a choice.

I can only bet that you are afraid that you will lose the road and will not dare to attack my camp with all your might. ”

Cao Zhen's answer explained Mi Yang's accident.

As Cao Zhen said, perhaps he had thought in advance that Mi Yang might divide his troops to capture his camp after he led his army out of Wuzhangyuan.

Is there any other choice for him just given the emergency situation at the time?

In fact, since the Han army entered the Western Siege, Cao Zhen did not know how many Han troops there were in the Western Siege.

But Cao Zhen knew that Hao Zhao still had an elite Wei army in his hands.

In this case, Cao Zhen could only hope that Mi Yang would worry about the safety of the back road, and might divide a part of his troops and horses to return to Yixian County to hold the rear.

In this way, after Mi Yang sent tens of thousands of Han troops to attack Guo Huai, he may not have many mobile troops in his hands.

Whether this possibility is high or not, low or not, it all depends on Mi Yang's personal trust in Zhuge Liang.

It's just that judging from the current results, it is obvious that Cao Zhen made a mistake.

Mi Yang really believed in Zhuge Liang so much, and he really dared not to send reinforcements to the rear from beginning to end.

Such boldness is really rare.

For this alone, Cao Zhen felt that he was not wronged.

After sighing, Cao Zhen raised his head to look at Mi Yang, and he asked, "Can you keep me a whole corpse?"

I don't want to be like Brother Gon, and the body is separated. ”

Cao Zhen knew that he would die, because as a relative of Cao Wei, he would not accept the end of being captured.

The most decent thing he can do at the moment is to raise his sword and kill himself.

But after killing himself, whether he will be in a different place depends on Mi Yang's words.

After saying this, Cao Zhen said again:

"I used to think that if one day you fell into my hands, I would keep you with a whole corpse."

Cao Zhen's words may sound a little ridiculous at first glance, and in line with the current situation.

But Cao Zhen's expression was very serious.

It's just that Cao Zhen's serious expression did not get Mi Yang's consent.

"I remember that when Dong Guiren, who was pregnant with a dragon, died tragically, no matter how the first emperor pleaded, she never received half of the dignity."

Mi Yang coldly replied to Cao Zhen's words.

And after listening to Mi Yang's response, Cao Zhen couldn't help but laugh a few times.

After laughing miserably, Cao Zhen said:

"Guanzhong, it's yours."

After saying this, Cao Zhen decisively raised the long sword in his hand, pulled a sword flower and stabbed it into his chest.

With a flash of blood, Cao Zhen's body fell heavily backwards.

At the same time, bursts of cries instantly appeared around Cao Zhen.

"General!"

Listening to the cries of those Wei generals, Mi Yang waved his hand impatiently.

Under Mi Yang's wave of his hand, the Han army behind him strode forward in an instant.

What are you crying about?

Crocodile tears have always been the most disgusting.

It's better to save some strength and cry for yourself for a while!
