Chapter Eighty-Nine: Breaking the Enemy in the Rain
Chapter Eighty-Nine: Breaking the Enemy in the Rain
Looking at Yan Huan who fled, I was heartbroken and angry, I didn't expect that I was in a desperate situation today, and he fled again. If it weren't for the fact that there were nearly a thousand Wei troops on the mountain, and the random arrows might not be able to shoot him, I would have ordered him to be shot a long time ago. And his methods, such ruthlessness, are indeed rare in the world, with his injuries, such a bandage, sure that all his wounds will be cracked, and even most of his skin will be difficult to protect. However, he still dared to do so.
My face changed slightly, but when I turned around, I was calm. At the head of the cliff, there are nearly 1,000 Wei prisoners of war, and I forced Sima Wang to commit suicide with words, because I was afraid that they would be in a desperate situation and have no hope, so they would fight the trapped beasts, and on the battlefield, the last thing I wanted to fight was this kind of battle. Now that Yan Huan has escaped, what matters is what to do next.
In the battle of Northern Xinjiang, Sima Yi easily broke through Kebineng's 150,000 army with a snap of his fingers and trapped me in the small city of Jiling. His mind beyond ordinary people, and his experience of winning a hundred battles made him look at nothing but Kong Ming, and even made him look down on me earlier. This underestimation cost him, thinking that I would not be able to see through his strategy while waiting for reinforcements, and as a result, I exchanged more than 2,000 casualties for a small defeat of 4,000 dead and wounded and 1,000 captured by his besieging troops.
At this time, Yang Ren and others were organizing people to clean up the battlefield, counting the casualties and captured booty. I stood at the top of the cliff, and my heart couldn't help but echo Sima Wang's dying words.
“…… Tell you a piece of news, I'm not afraid you know. My uncle has killed Li Yan and Wei Yan, and is heading here! ”
This is true or false, is it a man's death, his words are good, and it is still the last time to lie to me. Scare me away and don't dare to pick up Li Yan?
We have always used flying pigeons to pass on the book, and no matter how far away we are, we can easily communicate with each other, so the tens of thousands of troops are like fingers, and nothing is missing. However, since Sima Yi came, our army suddenly lost contact. In the past seven or eight days, except for receiving a letter from Li Yu, there has been no news.
Why is that?
I have 5,000 men and horses, do you want to attack Sima Yi. If I go, will I break the siege or add to the chaos?
I'm facing Sima Yi......
However, another voice also echoed in the bottom of my heart, what about Sima Yi? He is not a god, he was trapped in the upper valley and almost burned to death by his husband, he was also frightened by his empty city plan to escape, and he was also trapped with an absolutely superior force, even if he was scolded by his husband as a woman, he did not dare to fight. He also put his own nephew here as a feint to surround me, but I killed him. I have generals like Li Yan and Wei Yan, and I have strong troops like Bai Bing'er Jingbing, why don't I dare to act because I am afraid of his strategy?
What if he wins? What if he had already killed Li Yan and the others? If I kill Sima Wang, my strength will be damaged, won't he be damaged when he deals with Li Yan?
The sound was getting louder and louder. Circling in the bottom of his heart, what if he has an ambush? What is the great deal of my five thousand white-eared elite soldiers against three or five times the enemy? The cauldron is broken, and the one hundred and two Qin passes belong to Chu after all. Lying on the salary to taste the gall, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu.
If you don't fight now, when will you wait? As long as I join forces with Li Yan and the others to form a fist, I will definitely be able to defeat Sima Yi.
However, I tried to keep my composure, whether it was returning to Jiling City or rushing to Sima Yi. It must be based on reliable evidence. I used to set up a demon in my heart, it is not right to want to flee as soon as I hear the news of Sima Yi, but if I don't know how to advance or retreat if I win a small victory now, it is even more unacceptable.
Message, message is the most important thing.
"Your Majesty! Hawk! Li Wei ran over with a few large cages.
"Eagle?" I couldn't help but wonder, looking at those cages, those eagles were not big, they should be a kind of falcon. But it looks extremely ferocious. I heard that Cao Wei talked about Xianbei and Buyeo in the east. There are capable people who specialize in catching and training eagles, could it be a plaything they gave to Wei Jun? No. It's not for game hunting, I'm just afraid that the news in my camp is not clear, and it has something to do with it!
I immediately asked, "Where did you find it, the falconryman?" Someone carefully inspected the Wei camp army. Li Wei nodded and said that his brother had brought someone with him and would be back soon.
In a moment, the falconer was caught, and he trembled with fright. Li Wei asked him what these eagles were, and he said that they were playthings, for hunting.
"Do you catch pigeons, too?"
When the falcon keeper saw me open his mouth and knew my identity, he was even more frightened. I asked him to help him up, and said, "Don't be afraid, it's your fate to see me, and in the future, you will raise an eagle for me." After all, did the Wei army catch pigeons with these eagles? ”
"Caught, caught, the adults said, I caught a pigeon with a bamboo tube on its foot, and gave me a sheep, and I earned five sheep, but unfortunately, they lost again and did not give me a sheep......"
I'm sweating wildly, there are five, and there are only a few carrier pigeons on the front line of Li Yan, no wonder I can't receive the news.
"What about the pigeons?" Each of our carrier pigeons is a treasure, and it is not easy to train.
"I, I'm baking and eating."
I was speechless for a moment, it took so much effort to train me, and I was actually eaten by him, and I hated him so much that I almost had someone choke him by the neck and pull the carrier pigeon out of his belly. But after thinking about it, this is also an honest person who doesn't understand anything, if he digs it, it is serious to dig out Sima Yi.
"What about the bamboo tube on the pigeon?" I just wish it hadn't been used as firewood for roasting pigeons.
Fortunately, he said: "The original ones were all given to the Grand Duke, and the ones who have come in the past few days have been on that Sima Xiao General." ”
I immediately asked Li Wei to search Sima Wang and took out the secret documents from his arms. These letters are written in cipherland, and ordinary people cannot understand them at all. I didn't care that there was still Sima Wang's blood on it, so I snatched it from Li Wei's hand and opened it one by one to take a closer look. I was taken aback by this unbelievable one, including not only Li Yandi, Wei Yan, but also one from Mr. Chang'an.
I don't look at the sidelines, but I look at the letter of the gentleman.
In the letter, the gentleman did not comment on my approach to northern Xinjiang, but only said that against Cao Wei at the moment, I should not show the slightest cowardice, as long as the military spirit does not disperse. Then I am as safe as Mount Tai. I look at the date, it was three days ago, that is, the gentleman came back around May 10, he was far away in Chengdu, Guanshan was far away, and the march would not have been so fast, so there was only one reason. He did not set off with the army, but rushed back to Chang'an by himself. He worked so hard for the state and for me, and I couldn't help but be moved by him.
Looking at Li Yandi's letter again, he said that I don't have to worry, he has asked Wei Yan to break off and stop Cao Zhao, and he himself quickly returned to the army. He rescued me, but it didn't mention me to slow down and be careful of ambushing the ground, could it be that he didn't receive my summons? Could it be that my carrier pigeon, which entrusted tens of thousands of lives, also let this Xianbei man eat it? I looked at him in his gaze, and there was no murderous intent. The Xianbei man was so frightened that he fell to his knees, begging for mercy.
I was in no mood to pay attention to him, I was worried about Li Yan, and I didn't know that he didn't get my summons. Will he fall into Sima Yi's ambush? In the letter, he mentioned the route of the march, and I knew the map of the world so well that I did not need to look at it, and followed it in my mind, and identified two possible places for ambush. Li Yan passes through Wucheng County, must pass the Ghost Crying Valley, this valley is located in the east of the county seventy miles, the mountain is extremely dangerous. And the wind continues to blow in the valley all year round, like a ghost crying wolf. The other is in the territory of Zhongling, which is part of the ancient Great Wall of the original Qin State, but it is impossible for him to be there with Li Yandi's footsteps. Therefore he shall be in the Valley of the Devil's Cry.
I slowly stood up and said to Yang Ren and the Li brothers, "Leave a team of men and horses to clean up the battlefield and escort the prisoners of war back to the city." The rest of the men marched eastward with me. Attack Sima Yi! ”
Without Liao Li, it is impossible for others to have any doubts about my instructions. My order was swiftly delivered. After resting and recuperating, they set out eastward.
Although I only have 5,000 people, it should be no problem for 10,000 people. And Sima Yi only has a total of 25,000 people at the moment, he attacked Li Yan's army of more than 30,000, even if he can really defeat Li Yan, it is impossible for him to be free of damage, and now I take the opportunity of a big victory, suddenly appear, and a blow in the back will definitely bring him great damage. What's more, Li Yu is also attacking him, as long as our several armies are combined, the pressure will also squash him.
The white-eared elite soldiers deserve to be the first elite soldiers in the world, although they have only gone through a vicious battle, they still quickly reorganize the army and carry out the promotion. I sent elite cavalry to explore the road in front, and if I encountered the Wei army on the way, I would have made some plans as soon as possible. Due to the vicious fighting and pursuit, we only traveled more than 30 miles on this day (this is already a day's journey of ordinary troops), rushed to the territory of Wucheng County, rested for a few hours, and prepared to rush for 80 miles on the second day to rush to the Valley of Devil Cry. How do you know, the sky is really not beautiful, it actually rained heavily, this rain only poured people can't open their eyes, can't breathe, helplessly, had to let the troops slow down, only to travel more than 40 miles, but fortunately the white ear elite soldiers are lightly armed, if it is the kind of iron armor of the Wei army, I am afraid that the road will be laborious.
I was still nervous at the thought that I might fight with the Wei army at any time, so I nibbled on a few cold cakes in the rain, and I once again ordered the scouts to go out to find out the news. The heavy rain turned the roads into small rivers, the plains and mountains, everything was shrouded in a fog, the lightning flashed in the sky, like a fiery snake dancing wildly, and the thunderclap shook people's hearts.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, but it was Li Sheng who rushed back: "Your Majesty, there is a fight ahead!" ”
"Who and whom?"
"I seem to see the princess."
Guan Feng! I immediately understood who it was, this was Li Yan's men, he really came to meet Li Yan and flank Sima Yi, it seems that I made the right bet and is catching up with this fierce battle. At this time, the generals of the troops who were fighting also knew about my coming, and rushed to see me, in addition to Guan Feng and Li Yu, there was actually a Xianbei person.
On the battlefield, there was no nonsense, Li Yu said: "Your Majesty, this is the Xianbei handsome Yu Zhuzhu Ministry, he sent 5,000 troops to help us break Wei, and begged us to help him pacify the desert." I nodded, stepped forward and pulled up Yu Zhuyu, who knelt on the ground, and called his name: "Ministry, don't worry, Sima Yi is the enemy of my two families, and we will definitely avenge you." What is the situation of the former enemy? ”
Li Yu introduced to me. It turned out that although I had lost contact with the outside world, he had been in contact with Li Yan, because he had few soldiers, and seeing that Sima Yi had formed a siege, he was ready to join forces with Li Yan to come to the rescue of me. Although Li Yan did not receive my summons, he had long been wary of Sima Yi. So in front of the Ghost Crying Valley, Li Yan stopped. After Li Yan learned that Sima Yi's men and horses had been discovered, the two decided to deal with Sima Yi in the Valley of Ghost Crying through discussion, and Li Yan dispatched a small force to lure Sima Yi to attack, and Li Yan personally led elite soldiers to Sima Yi to counter-encircle, and then Li Sheng led the army to attack Sima Yi's back road, then the battle was won. This plan was seamless, but the vision was a little narrower, Sima Yi was treacherous, he pretended to be the Wei army with the recruited people, and led thousands of Wei troops to charge forward with Xiahouba to attack Li Yan. Li Yan saw that the Wei army was in a plan, a counter-encirclement trapped the Wei army in it, Xiahou was in chaos, tens of thousands of people bombed the camp, Li Yanzheng was able to kill, Sima Yi moved his hand, and directly blocked the two ends of the Ghost Crying Valley. Poor Li Yan's 30,000 army was locked up in a living coffin for dozens of miles in the Ghost Crying Valley, and it had been five days since one pass, although he had wiped out Xiahou Ba's entire army, but he couldn't come out. Sima Yi planned to starve all these people to death in this.
Li Pleiades naturally attacked with the whole army, although Sima Yi did not count the appearance of Li Pleiades, but he still sent men and horses to block the attack. Li Yuzheng met Deng Aibu, fought for several days, could not pass, and dragged on until today.
Although Sima Yi couldn't help him for a while, if Li Yan couldn't break through Sima Yi's encirclement, I was afraid that Li Yan would still be unable to escape the fiasco. And Sima Yi actually used Xiahou Ba and 5,000 Wei troops and tens of thousands of people as funeral companions, and his insidious and stoic was beyond people's imagination.
I said: "Li Yu, I have handed over all the 5,000 men and horses to you to command, even if Sima Yi is an iron walnut, you will smash it open for me!" ”
Li Yu didn't say much, nodded yes, and immediately ordered the whole army to go out and attack again. Most of Li Yu and Yu Zhu's troops were cavalry, and they naturally had an advantage in fighting in the plains, even if they charged in the valley, no one could stop them, but the place where the Wei army was guarding was a natural slope, and the terrain was undulating, and the cavalry could not exert its strength at all.
But my white-eared elite soldiers are different, they are already long in mountain warfare, and they have rattan armor that is difficult to injure with swords and guns as protection, this kind of rainy weather, this kind of hillside terrain, is simply designed for them.
Li Yu went out with Guan Feng and Yu Zhuqi. In a moment, my big rose high.
Suddenly, the three armies shouted in unison, "Hooray!" Banzai! Banzai! "The sound came far and wide in the rain, roaring with the thunder in the sky.
The morale of the Han army was greatly shaken, and in the midst of the call, the whole army came out. Li Yu waved the command flag to direct the battle, and Guan Feng, Yu Zhuqi, Yang Ren and the Li brothers shouted and rushed towards the Wei army. The horses' hooves and human feet splashed the muddy water high, and the great banner held high was tightly wrapped around the flagpole, accompanied by lightning like a sharp sword piercing the blue sky. My banner suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and my long journey was beyond everyone's expectations. On the battlefield, often a reserve can decide the victory, let alone my forbidden army. The Wei army, which was struggling to support itself, was completely crushed by this impact, and they only supported a pillar of incense for less than a pillar of time before they collapsed.
"Rush! Smash the enemy's Chinese army and kill Sima Yi! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! The Han soldiers rushed forward like crazy.
