Chapter 371: Collecting Nets and Catching Fish

Since no one wants to take the initiative to cushion behind, in the end, it can only be whoever runs slower and who is unlucky.

It takes time to kill people after all, and as the rear army was gradually cut and wiped out by Jiang Wei's army, Guo Huai and others, who ran in front, finally gradually opened up the distance with Jiang Wei.

Guo Huai led the army to stumble and escape for more than 30 miles, and finally got rid of the pursuit temporarily.

"Whew...... ...... panicked, Guo Yuanjun took off his helmet, and a wave of heat finally dissipated.

The sweat had already wet my hair, and I didn't know if it was hot or scared.

The terrain in front of you is open, the left front is near the water, and the right is back against the mountain.

It's not that Guo Huai doesn't want to run away, the four legs under his crotch are so tired that they are panting, and those soldiers who can only run on two legs have been running wildly for a long time...... Now they're all slumped on the ground.

Turning his head to look, the remnants of the soldiers everywhere were lying or sitting, the flags were scattered, and the armor was thrown on the ground at will, and as for the grain and grass, I didn't know where to throw it.

Ordered to gather and count the remnants of the soldiers, Guo Yuanjun couldn't help but feel sad, his nose was sore, and the little pearl almost rolled down without restraint.

At that time, he led nearly 10,000 troops to come, and sent the local soldiers who were most familiar with the mountain and forest operations to keep an eye on them, including Xixian County.

thought it was foolproof, but he thought it would fall into the current situation......

Now there are only more than 3,000 people left with him, and more than 200 cavalry.

Among them, there are still a few who were killed by Jiang Wei, and most of them took advantage of the chaos to flee in other directions when they were on the run.

This is a common occurrence in a rout, and there is a higher chance that you will be chased by the enemy when you run with the manager.

Most of the time, the enemy army will not care about deserters.

Boom!

"Hey β€”β€”!" Guo Huai angrily threw the iron gauntlet on his head to the ground, "Jiang family child, you are so bold!" ”

By this time, Guo Huai had already sensed that something was wrong, and he had run nearly half of the way back to Shangqi, and he didn't see a single ghost of Liu Bei's army.

If Jiang Wei really cooperated with Liu Bei's army to pursue, why didn't the Shu army come to intercept it?

"That kid really did a dangerous trick to deceive me! Who gave him the guts? Aren't you afraid of losing Ji County and cutting off Liu Chan's way back?"

Fortunately, Guo Huai didn't know the truth, if he knew that Jiang Wei had misread his quiet withdrawal of troops, he would attack based on a misjudgment...... He had to vomit three liters of blood and die.

After resting for a night, as soon as it was dawn the next day, Guo Huai continued to lead the troops on the road.

Let these remnants of the defeated soldiers who have become frightened birds fight enough, but let them escape, and the actions are still very sharp.

After fleeing along Weishui for two more days, Guo Huai finally led his troops to reach the outside of Shangtai City.

The Longyou Wei army, which had lost a heavy burden of grain and grass, is now hungry and green in his eyes, and he is looking forward to having a full meal after entering the city.

The city gate of Shangtai is getting closer and closer, but Guo Huai faintly realized that the situation is not right, and the city gate in front of him is closed, how can it ...... Why is there still a faint sound of the piano?

The sound of the piano is melodious, the rhythm is brisk, and the exquisite piano skills make people feel as if there is a picture in front of them.

It is not only like the victorious return of soldiers on the battlefield, but also like a comfortable outing of friends in twos and threes.

But when I heard the ears of the Wei army, especially Guo Yuanjun, who had just lost the battle, my heart became more and more panicked......

"Guo Yuanjun is back! Don't open the gates yet! The herald couldn't wait to step forward and scold.

The city head has a wide field of vision, and it should have seen the troops return a long time ago, not to mention opening the city gate in advance, why don't you have any eyesight?

As a result, he shouted twice, and there was no one in the city to bird him.

Now the herald also saw that something was wrong, and just wanted to reciprocate, the sound of the piano at the head of the city suddenly stopped abruptly.

I saw a man in a wide robe with big sleeves and a lupine scarf, getting up from behind the desk with the piano.

He took a few steps forward and shook his fan and smiled: "Hehehe, Liang Su heard that Guo Lingjun has the skill to govern the people and lead the troops well, and I will see it today...... Why are you so embarrassed? ”

At the head of the city is Zhuge Liang.

As soon as these words came out, the Wei troops who approached one after another were shocked, but before they could react, they saw a man in a military uniform with long arms appear at the head of the city.

"Guo Huai! The battle of Hanzhong called you to escape, this time I want to see where you can escape! ”

Liu Bei was nearly sixty years old, but he was still full of energy, and this roar drifted out of the wind, and it was so terrifying that the Wei army who fled all the way was heartbroken.

Zhuge Liang feather fan waved: "Open the city gate and welcome Guo Zhijun back to the city!" ”

The gate of Shangqi City was finally opened at this time, but what greeted the Longyou Wei army was not a full meal along the way, but ......

"Kill β€”β€”!"

From the open gate, the first to rush out were the flying soldiers with bird feathers on their heads and rattan armor or leather coats on their bodies.

Although Zhuge Liang has been training and adjusting for a period of time, this kind of thing is still a little rusty to them, and once the blood is hot, they often forget to maintain the formation.

Like now.

But it's not a big problem, these guys who were born in the poor mountains and rivers of Nanzhong can completely make up for it with fierceness and bravery......

They walked like a fly on the rugged mountain roads, not to mention the plains outside the city.

Where can the Wei army, which is tired of people and horses, outrun these ruthless characters who are full of food and drink and wait for work?

Approaching the city gates, a bloody massacre suddenly began.

Buzzβ€”β€”!

On the city wall, the Zhuge crossbows lined up roared at the same time, and the arrows with thick arms tore through the air and shot at the enemy in the distance.

The Zhuge crossbow, which was already powerful and had a good range, became even more terrifying at this time with the help of its height advantage.

It perfectly interprets a simple truth from the grassroots - fight high and low, fight fools.

The poor accuracy of the ballista was also compensated for by the numerical advantage of ten arrows, and there were only more than ten crossbows, but the effect of firing a hundred crossbows at once.

"Ahβ€”β€”!h

The front army of the Wei army suddenly turned over on their backs, screaming continuously, and there was the unfortunate one who was directly hit by the arrow, and directly put the people and horses into sugar gourds and was nailed to the ground together.

The armor on his body was like rags, and it had no protective effect at all.

A soldier who was unfortunately shot in the head was even more miserable, the skull was like a rotten watermelon skin, and a large piece was directly lifted away, red and white splashed out, and he died without even screaming......

After the arrows were fired, bows and arrows were splashed at the head of the city, and a steady stream of soldiers poured out of the city to join in the slaughter of the Wei army.

"Kill! The thief will be gone! ”

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind.

Guo Huai was shocked to find that Jiang Wei, who was like being beaten with chicken blood, was actually chasing after him from the rear again......

"East! Follow me eastβ€”β€”! ”

Just experienced an inexplicable rout, the nest was stolen, and the situation was desperate enough, but Guo Huai still did not give up hope of life.

Longyou is empty, this defeat is not his fault, as long as he can escape, he will have a chance to make a comeback.

With Guo Huai's family background, I believe that Cao Pi will still give him a chance afterwards.

There are Jiang Wei's pursuers in the west, Weishui in the north, and ...... to the south. Do you want to run to Liu Bei's lair?

Only to the east, along the bank of the Weishui River, there may still be a glimmer of life.

If he could temporarily get rid of the pursuers, find a hidden place to cut down the wood and build a raft, and cross the pass along the Weishui to the east, at least he would have a chance to survive.

It's a pity...... The net laid by Wolong wants to catch him, a big fish, how can there be a gap for him to drill?

As soon as he fled a short distance to the east, he saw a cavalry line in front of him.

A large banner in the cavalry formation with the word "horse" written on it.

And of course, this can't be Ma Zun, who has already "split up".

"The Great Han Hussar General Ma Chao! On the orders of the Prime Minister, I have been waiting here for a long time! ”
