Chapter 210: Raid after the Circle

When Cao Zhen was still thinking about going back to liquidate, Jiang Wei and Liu Yin quickly killed with soldiers and horses.

The Meridian Valley is too narrow, and the soldiers and horses on both sides can't spread out at all. In fact, there are only a few people who actually engage the enemy.

But even so, it didn't delay Jiang Wei and Liu Yin's offensive at all. Jiang Wei and Liu Yin marched hand in hand and went straight to the front of the Wei army.

At this moment, the Wei army has been marching hard for half a month in the torrential rain in the Meridian Valley. Every soldier was physically and mentally exhausted, and the slightest weakness had already died in the valley. Before the decisive battle, they had already suffered serious non-combat attrition, and thousands of people died before and after.

They are different from the Shu army, the place where Ma Tan is stationed is safe from the rain, and the Shu army is basically not tired.

On the one hand, it is leisurely and tired, and on the other hand, it is physically and mentally exhausted. In contrast to the two sides, the Wei army was simply difficult to resist in the face of the Shu army's offensive.

"Kill!!" Jiang Wei held a long sword in his hand and rushed straight into the crowd, and wherever the sword blade went, the Wei army was terrified. In just one breath, Jiang Wei killed several Wei soldiers.

Jiang Wei is much stronger than Ma Yan's unrivaled hanging wall, and his martial arts are extremely strong. Now he is in his twenties, and he is at the peak of his popularity!

With the blessings of all parties, Jiang Wei was like a peerless in the Wei army. Anyone who tried to confront him was basically knocked to the ground.

Compared with Jiang Wei, Liu Yin's martial arts are still slightly inferior. But even so, under the arch guard of the personal guard, Liu Yin also killed the enemy who resisted.

The two sides fought desperately on the narrow mountain road, shouts, wails, and the sound of weapons clashing were intertwined, and they continued to turn around over the Meridian Valley for a long time.

Soldiers are falling, and people are being squeezed down the valley by the chaotic battlefield.

But in general, the Shu army is still taking advantage. With the impact of Jiang Wei Liuyin, the Wei army's front was pushed back.

But at this time, Cao Zhen also rushed to the frontline battlefield.

"No retreat! The army pressed up! Cao Zhen immediately issued an order to switch his troops to be the supervising team, strictly prohibiting the soldiers from retreating.

The Wei army had an army of 30,000 and stretched for dozens of miles, and it was impossible to retreat at all. If the front army is pressed back by the Shu army, the Wei army in the rear will be constantly crowded.

By that time, no one knows how many people will die in the trampling of each other, and how many will fall to the bottom.

This is the biggest drawback of the Meridian Valley, the mountain road is too narrow to make it difficult for the large army to deploy. Once an enemy army intercepts and kills in the valley, the army will suffer huge losses.

The total strength of the Shu army was only 3,000, and intercepting it at the narrow mountain road was enough to suppress the Wei army.

After Cao Zhen's team came on the field, they began to block the former sergeants who tried to retreat. Anyone who retreated was killed, and the corpse was thrown to the bottom mercilessly.

"Whew! Swish! Swish! ”

With a sound of slashing, more than a dozen soldiers were hacked to death by their own family members in the valley.

The sharp knife in the rear slashed over, and the former sergeant suddenly did not dare to retreat. Through this step, Cao Zhen barely stabilized the trend of the retreat of the front army.

However, this alone is not enough, because the Shu army is still advancing in full force.

Cao Zhen quickly transferred all the strong crossbowmen, sword and shield men, and pikemen to the front army. In the face of the offensive of the Shu army, the Wei army returned with a strong crossbow, and the own soldiers who had already fought with the Shu army were completely abandoned.

"Zhongquan, I will go to the rear army immediately now and order them to retreat back as soon as possible. You stay in command of the front army, and you must not let the front army collapse before the Chinese army withdraws, understand? Cao Zhen finished a series of arrangements, quickly pulled Xiahou Ba over and commanded him.

Now it is necessary to let the rear army retreat for more than ten miles, and give the army room to retreat slowly. Otherwise, once the Shu army has follow-up reinforcements to rush and kill alternately, the Wei army is afraid that there will be more than 10,000 people who will die in this meridian valley.

"General Cao, why don't we divide our troops and take a small road to intercept the rear of the Shu army?" Xiahou Ba had calmed down at this time, and when he saw that the Shu army was small, he immediately thought of what to say.

"Where can we find a little ...... without a guide? Wait a minute! Cao Zhen subconsciously responded, but suddenly his eyes glared at the boss for a moment.

This section of the Meridian Valley is the territory of their Shu Han regime. Is there a path here, but they know better than Cao Zhen?

Don't......

Before he could say anything, he heard the sound of the Chinese army making a big noise!

"Oops! The treacherous schemes of the Zhongshu people are also! ”

Three quarters of an hour ago,

"This TM road is also difficult to walk, and I don't want to go to Meridian Valley again in this life!" Ma Tan struggled through a crack in a stone, grabbed a soldier who almost fell down the valley, and was a little helpless about the difficulty of the road.

Shu is difficult, Shu is difficult, this is true.

He walked the trail with 2,000 of his own soldiers who were good at mountain walking, but several of them fell down the valley after not walking a few steps. Then, not long after walking, one of the soldiers injured his foot and was hit by rubble......

In short, the difficulty of Shu Road is beyond Ma Yan's imagination. This was the first time he had marched, and non-combat attrition was so terrifying.

"No wonder the prime minister didn't let Wei Yan go to the Meridian Valley, any volley that someone is prepared in the valley on this road is in danger of being wiped out......"

However, at this moment, a scout came out from the front and reported to Ma Yanyu in a panic.

"General! The Wei army is found ahead! ”

"Wei Jun?" Ma Yan's face changed suddenly, and his eyes were full of disbelief.

"How is this possible? How could there be a Wei army here? What is Wei Jun doing in Meridian Valley? ”

"I don't know, I just saw a Wei character resting on their flag, and I don't know the rest." The scout replied.

Ma Tan narrowed his eyes, recalled carefully, and suddenly thought of something.

In history, after the failure of Zhuge Liang's second northern expedition to Chencang, Cao Wei planned a war against Shu.

At that time, Cao Zhen, the general of Cao Wei, planned to send a three-way army to attack Hanzhong. Among them, the main force of the Cao army planned to attack Hanzhong from the Meridian Valley.

Then because of the heavy rain from the sky, the three Wei armies were affected. Especially the main force of the Cao army on the road to Meridian Valley, because of the heavy rain, suffered from the old sin......

Wait a minute? Heavy rain?

It was only at this time that Ma Jian suddenly grasped the key issue. After thinking about it carefully, Ma Jian suddenly understood everything.

He happened to have a heavy rainstorm in history, which blocked the road. Not only that, but a large number of Wei troops also appeared here, which means that the three-way expedition planned by Cao Zhen still began.

"I didn't expect it, I was about to give up my plan, and you Cao Wei took the initiative to greet you!" Ma Tan laughed, threw his helmet directly on the ground, drew his sword and said to the song.

"Soldiers, take up arms! Follow me and stab Wei Jun in the waist! ”
