Chapter 63 Blood Splattered on the Yellow River

"Tonight, I will personally lead 300 people from the Xiao cavalry battalion to raid the Han army camp, pretending to be the main force marching north, to further attract the Han army. General Dian, you led all the horses and horses to the south overnight and headed for the crossing of the Yellow River. ”

"Don't worry, I will definitely bring the men out of the encirclement safely. You must come back too! Please! ”

"Don't worry, I will definitely return safely, and the two of us will return to Dawei together!"

That night, Cao Tai led 300 iron cavalry and quietly appeared at the vanguard camp of the Han army east of Dongpingshu. Cao Tai and Ji Han's several troops in Jizhou have fought each other, among which Li Pleiades's combat power is the weakest (because Li Pleiades fought with him to lure the enemy, and he was defeated in successive battles), and he was ready to attack from Li Pleiades and take the Han army by surprise.

The combat power of the tiger and leopard cavalry is undeniable, although it has weakened and weakened, but he is still an elite soldier among the best soldiers. The suddenness of the attack on the Han army, the rapidity of the attack, the sharpness of the vanguard breaking the formation, and the speed with which the follow-up men and horses were deployed, can simply be used as a model for teaching.

But they were met by an equally elite Iron Cavalry. And this iron horse is invincible in the desert.

At the beginning, there was a stalemate between the two sides, but fortunately, Li Yu found the problem and ordered the arrow not to reach the enemy, and immediately retreated. So the Han army retreated. Cao Tai took the lead, killed several people in a row, led the Wei army to enter from the conflict between the Han army, broke three large camps in a row, entered the camp and set fire, and the fire was soaring for a while. The Han army retreated again and again, unable to resist the enemy.

Cao Tai didn't know the truth, and sighed to himself: "The soldiers are strong soldiers, but it's a pity that the master will be incompetent." It was raided by me in the dark night, otherwise, this victory or defeat is still unknown. ”

Cao Tai then led the army east overnight and made a gesture of fleeing north. The Han army really went north, and several large armies were mobilized.

"Newspaper, my lord, the villain saw the three people going north today, and from the banner, there are Zhang Bao, Guan Xing, and Guan Ping. All the elite soldiers were led away by us. ”

"Okay, let's take a detour south immediately!"

Cao Tai led the Wei army to march overnight, catch up with the Dianman brigade, and pounce on the crossing of the Yellow River.

Two days later, the Wei army arrived at the crossing of the Yellow River, and because of the early investigation, the Yellow River was frozen and could be crossed without any boats.

But even so. Cao Tai and Dianman were still cautious and cautious, first got in touch with the Wei army on the other side of the river, and got the news that the ferry was completely controlled by the Wei army, so they crossed the river.

The excessive joy made Cao Tai lose his cool head, and he did not notice anything unusual about the Wei army signal troops who contacted him.

Cao Tai ordered: "We will be able to go home soon." In the past few months, we have moved to Jizhou, and we have fought dozens of battles, although we have suffered heavy losses. Combined, there are less than 10,000 people. However, we have never dishonored the reputation of Cao Wei's elite soldiers. Today, we are going back to the occupied area of the Great Wei, we must be careful when crossing the river, although the river is frozen and can ban people, but we still have to be careful, no one is allowed to ride a horse. All of them are held in their hands, several people with long belts can be connected, and long weapons can be held horizontally in their hands, so as not to fall, otherwise no one will be able to save anyone. ”

The Wei army was scattered, lined up in a loose formation, leading horses and weapons horizontally. From time to time, a few people knotted their belts together. Tie it into a string. Cautiously walked towards the river.

The troops of the front team shouted from time to time:

"Lighter steps!"

"Be careful not to fall!"

A few miles wide of the river, thousands of people scattered among them. It doesn't seem too much. At this time, the Han army suddenly appeared in the rear army, and the Cao army in the rear saw the front army crossing the river, and also hurriedly rushed forward.

Although Cao Tai tried his best to maintain it, the Wei army, which seemed to be desperate for his life, was still inevitably chaotic. Almost all of the Wei army had already reached the river.

At this moment, suddenly, a scream streaked across the sky.

Wei Jun hurriedly raised his head--

"No!" Cao Tai shouted.

"No!" All Cao Jun screamed.

On the other side of the river, a banner of the Han army was suddenly raised, and a stone machine pointed obliquely at the sky and the ground opened its huge mouth like a blood-devouring beast.

When did the Han army occupy the other side?

How could they be buried here?

A trap, a terrible trap! From beginning to end, it's a trap!

Cao Tai suddenly understood everything.

But, it's too late!

With the terrible screaming of the starting order, hundreds of stone machines rotated their long spiral arms at the same time, and the overwhelming boulders fell from the sky like a flock of birds, and the boulders weighing dozens of catties and hundreds of catties were carrying the wind and thunder, falling straight down. The sound of boulders tearing through the air and the desperate cries of the Wei army shook people's hearts.

"Boom!"

The first boulder landed on the ice, and the entire ice was shaking.

"Boom!"

The second boulder landed on the ice, and everywhere there was a terrible creaking sound of ice cracking.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Countless boulders fell down, and in the screams of the Wei army, the ice of the Yellow River in November finally could not withstand such successive heavy blows, the first ice crack was produced, the first ice cave was formed, followed by the second, the third, countless ......

"Boom--"

Under the trampling of the Wei army and the bombardment of boulders, the surface of the Yellow River finally could not withstand such a huge force, collapsed, and shattered into thousands of pieces. Thousands of Wei troops fell down in unison, and the river waves splashed.

The screaming Wei army, the neighing horses, the messy military flags, the scattered weapons, the icy river waves, and the splashing ice floe...... In the Hanoi of the Yellow River, it became a porridge, a Shura hell.

In the icy waters, people struggled desperately, grabbing and grabbing, trying to grab anything that could save their lives. On the plains, the battle-hardened soldiers faced the merciless river, but they were as weak as babies. They shouted and shouted irrationally, tore at each other, hugged each other, and sank into the boiling cold turbidity of the Yellow River.

The Han army on the riverside was also shocked by this terrible scene.

One round of attacks, only one round of attacks was used, and the follow-up troops and archers did not come out at all. All the Wei troops fell into the icy waters of the Yellow River in winter.

More than 8,000 people died in the Yellow River.

Across the river. He Jiuqu's tall figure stood up, he looked at the corpses floating in the river, and couldn't believe it, he had been crossing the Yellow River for many years, but he had never thought that he could kill people in such a way.

At this time, he himself was covered in sweat. How terrible it would be if he encountered such a situation while he was on the ice!

The cavalry battalion and the backbone battalion are the only two strong troops in the new five battalions. died in the waves of the Yellow River. After Cao Tai, Dian Man, Cao Ren and Dian Wei, they died silently in the Yellow River.

Under the bombardment of the boulders, in the collapse of the ice floe, the ability to cover the world cannot be displayed, and the slightest death does not seem to be a hero!

At this moment, He Jiuqu, who was a thief in the Yellow River and had no calculation to kill, was also shocked.

"Your Excellency. What to do with the captured former army of the Wei army? We wounded more than 100 brothers in order to capture these people. Do you want to fill the river with the old rules? ”

"No, forget it. Enough people have died today, and they all take them back. Leave it to the general. ”

The news that the remnants of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the backbone battalion were all wiped out at the crossing of the Yellow River spread quickly, and Cao Wei was shaken again. If the defeat of the great general Cao Zhen was a betrayal by Wei and gave Cao Wei more hatred and anger, then Cao Wei's strongest new fifth battalion. In particular, the complete absence of the Xiaoqi camp with the tiger and leopard riding as the predecessor was a heavy blow to Cao Wei's spirit.

When Cao Rui heard about this, he didn't go to court for three days in a row, and he cried bitterly.

At this time, good news came from the front. Cao Xiu broke through the Tiger Prison Pass and defeated Pang De. Right now, it's approaching in the direction of the sun.

"Good, good!" When Cao Rui heard the news, as if he had been reborn, he ordered Cao Xiu to be a general. Da Sima, let him break through Luoyang, capture and kill Zhuge Liang, and avenge the dead Cao Wei soldiers!

Cao Xiu's army has been fighting for more than two months in the Tiger Prison, and both sides have fought real fire. The Cao army was strong, and the Han army was strong, and in the end, it almost razed the city. This forced Pound to retreat.

Cao Xiu then waved his army westward. I don't know that the Han army has already been fortified along the way. All the people moved into the city, bounded by the Luoshui River. Confront the Wei army.

Luoyang City.

"Prime Minister, the Wei army has increased its troops again, and it seems that they plan to break through the Luoshui defense line and attack Luoyang."

Kong Ming smiled: "Okay." ”

At this time, Shi Guangyuan walked in and arched his hand: "Congratulations to the prime minister." ”

Kong Ming waved his hand: "Guangyuan, come, sit, talk, where does the joy come from?" ”

Cao Rui Xiaoer was anxious for revenge, so Cao Xiu attacked Ji Han, but now it is a harsh winter, Cao Wei's guest army is not in good hands, camping in the wild, and the pressure of frostbite is increasing, and due to the loss of Jizhou, Cao Wei's grain and grass support Wancheng and Tiger Prison at the same time The two battlefields will also be tight. The city of Luoyang is high and deep, and it doesn't matter if you stick to it for three or five years. But Cao Xiu was afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on for so long. ”

Kong Ming nodded with a smile: "Cao Wei is now a tiger riding a tiger, and he has to attack." When I first got Jizhou in Ji Han, the troops were all in Hebei, and Sizhou was empty. This was a godsend for Cao Wei, so he had to attack. At present, Cao Wei has suffered a series of defeats, and he urgently needs a victory to boost his morale, so he has to attack. More importantly, after our army got Jizhou, its strength increased greatly, if I was allowed to slowly digest Jizhou, and calmly waved the army to the south, then Cao Wei had only one way to defeat. Therefore, Cao Wei had to attack. ”

Shi Guangyuan thought about it for a while and said with a smile: "It's still the prime minister who sees things thoroughly, otherwise how would you become the prime minister." In this case, leave the affairs of the former enemy to me and General Pound, Your Majesty said, let you worry less. ”

Kong Ming was stunned: "Guangyuan, you and I have known each other since childhood, and we are like brothers, why have you only been here for a few days, and you have to be isolated from me?" ”

Shi Guangyuan laughed: "If there was such a majesty who cared about me all day long, I would have died happily." Don't worry, Kong Ming, I and General Pang together, plus this Luoyang Jiancheng, can't we still be able to defeat a Cao Xiu? ”
