Chapter 90 Storm and Clouds

"Rush! Smash the enemy's Chinese army and kill Sima Yi! Long live His Majesty the Emperor! The Han soldiers shouted, rushing forward like mad.

Ten thousand people moved together, and the Wei army was pushed by this force, like stones in a mountain torrent, trying to barely support it, but it couldn't stand firm at all, and retreated backwards. However, Deng Ai refused to give up, he roared loudly in the rain, and organized the Wei army with all his might. Under his command, although the Wei army was retreating, although a large number of soldiers were killed, they maintained their formation, and in the case of heavy losses, there was no rout, which alone fully proved that he was much stronger than most of the generals.

The torrential rain was like a note, and the sergeants on both sides fought in the rain, and in this case, fighting would consume a lot of physical strength. Originally, if we were stronger, we could have achieved greater victories, but our army was a little unable to withstand a long-distance attack and a fierce battle, and I saw that there was no point in fighting any longer, so I ordered to find a high place to camp, temporarily rest, and fight again in the future.

From the mouths of Li Yu and others, I naturally know everything ahead, and I have always liked Deng Ai, but for now, he is far from the Deng Zhengxi who crisscrossed the two rivers and made my tens of thousands of troops tie my hands twenty years later. His defense is still eye-catching, but his attack is far from reaching the point where it is loud, invisible, unpredictable, and unguardable in the future. Anyway, it's a potential stock that I want to eat. You said that there was no such thing in the Three Kingdoms era, count me wrong in the analogy, when I didn't say it.

During this time, I was so nervous that I ignored an important issue, thinking that the intelligence of a master general can change everything, but I ignored the importance of overall strength. Take martial arts as an analogy, a child. No matter how good his moves are, he can't repel an adult, because his true strength is far from enough. And I've been so scared by Sima Yi these days that I don't dare to fight with him. Now it's finally corrected. Ji Han's elite soldiers are in the world, and my forbidden army, the Northern Army led by Li Yan, and the Li family iron cavalry of Li Pleiades are all elite divisions. In this kind of place, my white-eared elite soldiers are like dragons in water, and no one can stop them.

The next day, the rain did not stop, but we went on the offensive again.

As soon as the battle began, it reached a fever pitch. Losing yesterday's advantageous terrain, Deng Ai was in an absolutely passive position, I originally thought that Deng Ai would continue to fight and retreat, but I didn't know that I would not see it overnight. He was so desperate that he refused to take a step back at all. He even killed his horse in public on the battlefield, expressing his determination not to retreat and to fight to the death.

I persuaded him to surrender, and he cursed. After saying that I am a villain, I colluded with the Xianbei Huns, and I am a generation of bandits, so what do I say about today's things. but by the sword. The Wei army was also encouraged by him, lined up in a dense formation, and fought desperately. Guan Feng and Yu Zhuqi personally led the army to charge, but they were unable to break through his defense line several times.

Seeing that it was not his head, Li Yu made a whistle, Guan Feng galloped back, and Li Yu took out an iron bow from his side with his left hand and threw it to Guan Feng. Guan Feng wiped the rain from his face. Stretched out his hand to take it, and rode away. Li Pleiadi's archery skills are extremely skillful, and when I first saw him that day, I thought he was the condor archer of the Huns, and it was the fourth uncle's divine arrow that convinced him. In addition to the fourth uncle, it is necessary to belong to Li Huan's archery skills, although I know that Yan Huan's previous method is extremely strong, but I have always thought that. Li Hao's archery skills are stronger than him. It's a pity. These two men are better than assassins, from beginning to end. But I didn't get a fair fight once. The first time I met Li Huan easily attacked with iron horses, he didn't even hand over, so he swept Yan Huan away with a defeated soldier, the second time was Yan Huan and Guan Feng fighting, Li Huan gave him a sword behind his back, although he didn't kill him, but it also made Yan Huan vomit blood and get injured, the third time Feng Shui took turns, Deng Ai, Sima Wang and Yan Huan led the army to hit Li Huan by surprise, but in the chaos of the army, Li Huan still did not escape Yan Huan's sniping, although he avoided the vital point, but was injured by a poisoned arrow in the arm. At the moment, Li Yu's right hand is unable to exert himself and it is difficult to shoot arrows, but has he handed over the archery technique to Guan Feng?

Guan Feng's archery method is only considered to be in the middle and upper part of the military academy, and he is far from being a peerless master, could it be that with Li Yu, his growth is so big?

Thinking about it, Guan Feng pulled out a Ming Di from the quiver, and the point of the arrow was aimed at Deng Ai's choked throat. As soon as the bowstring was loosened, the arrow was like a meteor, and it flew to Deng Ai's vital point in less than a blink of an eye! I don't know that Guan Feng wanted to avenge Ling'er and desperately work hard, but when I saw it at this time, I couldn't help but be surprised, and what was even more surprising was that although Deng Ai was solved, the Wei army was uncommanded, and it became a mess, but I still want this person. It's too late to stop it, it's really my fault, I didn't tell them about capturing Deng Ai alive at first.

Lightning flashed, streaked across the sky, and then the rumbling sound made the ears ring and the heart beat. In the thunder, the sharp sound of the whistle was also muffled, Deng Ai was commanding, and he was not prepared for this sudden arrival of an arrow, but it was not Deng Ai who fell in response! At the last moment, a personal soldier next to him rushed to him and was pierced through the heart by Guan Feng.

Seeing this, Deng Ai was not shocked and angry, with a sad roar, he pushed away the soldier's corpse, raised his sword and shouted, under his instigation, the Wei soldiers on the opposite side rose up bravely, and even shouted at our army against the torrential rain and launched a counter-charge. I secretly screamed in my heart that this arrow didn't kill this guy, but it boosted their morale. Seeing that the remnants of the soldiers were rushing towards my Daxu like crazy, Li Yu waved his hand, and the formation of the troops changed, closing the dragon in the middle, and building a heavy embankment in front of me. I was originally on the highlands, and on the river beach, people suddenly shouted and neighed, and there was a sound of killing. I waved my arm, and the whole army of white-eared elite soldiers came out, like a giant axe, slashing heavily on the Wei army. And the counterattack of the Wei army, in the face of the flexible movements of the white-eared elite soldiers, the tacit cooperation, the invulnerable rattan armor, and the indestructible sword, could not go further.

However, the desperate spirit of the Wei army has not diminished in the slightest. In the face of Ji Handi's powerful attack, they were like mad tigers, howling and rushing upwards, one after another, not afraid of death, which made me a little frightened. When the arrows ran out, they used knives and guns, and when the knives and guns were broken, they used their fists and teeth, and although they were cut down batch after batch as if they were mowing grass, the people behind rushed up without hesitation! Because the rain was full of mud, many people slipped or tripped over corpses in the melee, and the charge of the white-eared elite soldiers was actually delayed. My face was gloomy, all because of a Deng Ai, this team should have broken up the Wei army a long time ago but it was still stubbornly blocking our march route, should I kill him? But I just want to kill him. You'll have to break through his battle formation. But at the moment, between the armies, the Wei army is densely lined up, and the cavalry can't play a role, and a general must charge strongly, how can I have such a brave general? Pufa is not there, the Li brothers obviously do not have this strength, and Yang Ren is old, and he has some symptoms of illness when he gets wet in the rain. So I didn't let him go into battle, and Xiao Guansuo was young and sick, and Mrs. Xu explained many times, I have rarely played with him, and this time I left him to guard Jiling City and did not bring it. Could it be that the alien race of Yu Zhuyu can't break into battle?

I was hesitating, only to hear a dragon-like neighing of a horse on the battlefield, but it was Guan Feng who rushed forward with a knife. She's like a phoenix. Ma Rulong, where the cold light flashed, the heads were rolling, and a gap appeared when Wei Jun landed. Although I knew that her skills had grown, I didn't expect her current martial arts. It seems that she has surpassed her Guan Xing and Guan Suo, and she is similar to her eldest brother Guan Ping.

Seeing Guan Feng approaching, Deng Ai gritted his teeth and rushed forward, wanting to stop Guan Feng in person. At this time, the Li brothers had rushed to Guan Feng's approach. Lead the army to protect Guan Feng. Guan Feng picked up Li Yu's hard bow and shot three arrows at Deng Ai. Deng Ai was on guard and swung his knife away. Suddenly, Guan Feng's fourth arrow actually shot down the tattered military flag behind Deng Ai. Seeing this scene, the officers and men of our army cheered in unison. The Wei army was stagnant. With this stagnation, the powerful function of the white-eared elite soldier like a meat grinder was activated again. For a moment, the ground was full of human heads and stumps, countless arms holding swords waved wildly, and water and blood beads flew in all directions. The white-eared elite soldiers quickly slashed a bloody path to victory with their sharp blades. And the cavalry of Li Yu and Yu Zhuqi rushed in from both wings, like two fast knives, constantly thinning and thinning the Wei army. Under this attack, the momentum of the Wei army was obviously sluggish, and their shouts became smaller. Finally, after a little in the afternoon, Li Pleiadin's iron cavalry first broke through the enemy formation, and then turned back and killed back. The Ji Han soldiers formed a net. At the same time of encirclement, the Wei army was divided into small pieces. The Wei army lost its banner. Guan Feng entangled Deng Ai again, and there was no one to command for a while, so he could only fight on his own. Although the Wei army was desperate, it was already at the end of its crossbow, and it was powerless to fight, and it could not stop the impact of Ji Han's army. The front of the Wei army collapsed, and despite their hundredfold bravery, they all ended up lying in the mire.

I saw in the distance that Deng Ai was still fighting desperately, but only the soldiers around him were getting fewer and fewer, and the formation was getting weaker and weaker. Although he was covered in blood, he was still fighting fiercely, killing twenty or thirty of our soldiers in a row, but Guan Fengdi's broadsword and the spears of the Li brothers had surrounded him in the middle. When I saw that the victory was decided, I cried out, "Live!" ”

Li Sheng jumped out of the circle, took out a small crossbow from his side, loaded it, and aimed it at Deng Ai's thigh is a crossbow. This crossbow is a crossbow invented by Mr., a small iron arrow eight inches long, with anesthetic, although Deng Ai was hit by the arrow, he did not feel pain, and he still shouted loudly. Ji Han and the others retreated, Deng Ai pulled out his legs to chase, Fang felt that it was inappropriate, pounced, fell to the ground, his hands and feet were weak, he couldn't struggle, and he was already tied up by his hands.

Captured Deng Ai alive, crossed the Wei army's blocking force, and then we rushed towards the Valley of Devil Cry. However, when we rushed to the Valley of Ghost Crying, we did not find a single Wei army.

Sima Yi actually fled! He left Xiahou Ba, who was trapped in the valley, and ordered Deng Ai to desperately block the attack and cover his army to escape.

This gecko is as forbearant as an old fox.

We broke through the obstacle of the Ghost Crying Valley and rescued Li Yan. Li Yan's face was full of shame: "Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, in the end, he was ambushed by Sima Yi, trapped in the valley, and almost lost the whole army, and now he will receive a punishment." ”

I asked, "What is the situation in the valley?" ”

Li Yan said: "The food is okay, the main thing is that there is no water, this ghost place is too high, full of stones, how can you not dig a well, this day I was so thirsty to drink horse urine, drink human urine, and later drink the blood of prisoners of war, if it weren't for this rain, I'm afraid that Ji Han, the nearly 30,000 horses, would all be trapped and died." ”

That's when I realized the importance of this rain. He asked Li Yan again: "How many people are still able to fight, ready to pursue Sima Yi." ”

Li Yan said: "Your Majesty, with this rain, our army has already cultivated its spirits, and the whole army can make the trip, and the elite soldiers can also draw out more than 10,000." ”

I said: "Okay, you and Li Yu and Guan Feng will lead the army to pursue Sima Yi, and you can't let him escape back to Bingzhou with all his beards and tails." Although it is said that the poor are not chasing, you must guard against his treacherous schemes, but there are many of you, and he is in a hurry to leave, and he will definitely have a great gain. ”

Li Yan responded: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will wash away this shame!" So saying, he went to gather the people.

I asked people to bring Xiahou Ba here, Xiahou Ba was captured a few days ago, he was only worse than Li Yan and others, in order to coerce Sima Yi, Li Yan even pulled him to the Wei army, cut off his arm and drank his blood to Sima Yi. After a few days, Xiahou Ba, who was a brave champion of the three armies, couldn't even walk, with a high fever and a mouth full of nonsense. I asked the doctor to treat him.

On the Eastern Front, Wei Yan, who was responsible for blocking Cao Zhao, fought back, but Cao Zhao also pulled his legs and left, without letting Wei Yan get any benefits.

Sima Yi is indeed not easy to mess with, Li Yu, the tracking master, personally led the team to chase him, and chased him with Li Yan, but he was actually led astray by him. Relying on Ji Han's army to be good at mountain roads, and later caught up with him, Sima Yi ambushed them. However, due to Cao Wei's small number of people and scattered troops, although Li Yan and others were blocked, thousands of men and horses were also lost. I estimate that Sima Yi used to attack 30,000 horses in our land, and he didn't even bring back 10,000, which can be regarded as a fiasco. However, on the whole, with 50,000 horses, he broke through Kebineng's 150,000 army, almost captured me, killed 10,000 of my horses, and returned to Cao Wei, I am afraid that there is only a reward, no punishment.

Our army fought for a while, and was unable to attack the Yanmen Fortress, let alone attack the state, so it stopped. Because I promised Yu Zhu to take the matter of northern Xinjiang, I decided to let Li Yu and Guan Feng lead the army to help. Xianbei is in chaos right now, and we just happened to insert forces into it, and I have nothing but hope for this.

After a battle is fought, the end is also very troublesome, the collection and clearance of the spoils of war, the placement of the wounded, the handling of prisoners of war, the rewards and punishments of merits and demerits, because there are too many casualties, the weather is hot, and the fear of spreading the epidemic, people are recruited from everywhere to clean the battlefield and bury it. Naturally, there is no need to go into details.

When I returned to Jiling, Liao Lizheng arrived with his men and horses, and a strengthened version of the empty city plan was useless, and Sima Yi didn't need Mr. to scare him, so he left. Liao Li told me that he had received news from that person that Cao Pi had died of illness on May 3. I can't help but be shocked, how can this kind of thing change, it is said that although my influence on this world is great, it will not affect Cao Pi's personal body, his death date is half a month earlier than in history. But in the case of such a big change in the country, Sima Yi still did not withdraw the army, it is too hateful, am I more important than his position in the court?

Liao Lidao, at present, Cao Wei is succeeded by the crown prince Cao Rui, with the general of the Chinese army Cao Zhen, the general of the town army Chen Qun, the general of the Fujun Sima Yi, and the general of the southern expedition Cao Xiu jointly assisted the government, due to the war, only Cao Zhen and Chen Qun were Zhao in Yecheng.

The prime minister has gone to the Weinan front, and according to His Majesty's previous intentions, he will contact Eastern Wu to jointly attack Wei.

I nodded.

The real prologue has begun, the strategy of the corners has been stabilized, and the real struggle for hegemony in the Central Plains has begun.
