With the help of many flammable materials, the fire burning in the Wei camp on Wuzhangyuan soon became out of control.
The raging fire not only engulfed everything in the Wei camp, but also caused plumes of black smoke to shoot into the sky.
As thick black smoke continued to rise into the sky, the Wei army, which was fighting fiercely with the Han army in Weibei, quickly noticed this scene.
At first, some Wei troops were aware of it.
When this part of the Wei army saw the thick smoke rising from Wuzhangyuan, they immediately screamed in surprise.
The exclamations coming out of Wei Jun's mouth gradually attracted the attention of the surrounding comrades.
At the beginning, many Wei soldiers did not understand why those comrades would scream in surprise for no reason.
But when they followed the horrified gazes of their comrades, a scene that shattered their defenses appeared in their eyes.
Tens of thousands of Wei troops came from the camp on Wuzhangyuan. It can be said that the Wei camp on Wuzhangyuan was their home and their destination.
But now, their home, their destination, has been completely submerged in the black smoke.
How could Wei Jun not know what the black smoke in the sky symbolized?
Their place of residence is now being ravaged by fire.
Their home is gone!
After realizing this, many Wei soldiers felt as if there was a shattering sound in their hearts.
A crack suddenly appeared in their originally determined resolve.
And this crack was spreading at an extremely fast speed, and by the end, the hearts of tens of thousands of Wei soldiers were covered with cracks.
The general said that if we fight against the odds, there is still a glimmer of hope.
That's what they thought just now.
This was the fundamental reason why they were willing to muster up the courage to fight fiercely with tens of thousands of Han troops.
But if they don't even have a place to return to, then even if they defeat the tens of thousands of Han troops in front of them, what's the use?
What's the use!
Military morale is changeable and unpredictable. Military morale will become decadent due to the objective fact that food routes are cut off, and it will also be strengthened by the personal encouragement of those in high positions.
But military morale is also fragile.
The most important thing is that if Mi Yang doesn't take action, once he takes action, he will directly destroy the foundation that maintains the stability of the Wei army's military morale.
How can we talk about military morale if we lose our roots?
Tens of thousands of Wei soldiers gradually lost hope in their eyes. After hope disappeared, it was naturally replaced by a look of despair.
When the despairing eyes filled Wei Jun's eyes, each Wei Jun couldn't help but put down their weapons.
First one thousand, then three thousand, and finally this act of direct surrender spread to the entire army at an extremely fast speed.
After a large number of Wei troops abandoned their weapons, it actually symbolized that the Han army had won the battle.
The sudden action of a large number of Wei troops abandoning their weapons shocked many Han troops.
Who would have thought that Wei Jun, who was fighting them to death just now, would suddenly drop his weapons.
However, the Han army, which was still in a state of surprise, soon heard an order.
This order came from Zhao Yun's mouth and spread quickly throughout the army.
"Wuzhangyuan has been captured by the general. Those who abandon their weapons and kneel down will not be killed!"
When tens of thousands of Han troops heard Zhao Yun's order, their faces couldn't help but show surprise.
No wonder the enemy suddenly made such an abnormal move. It turned out that the general was helping them!
After thinking of this, the faces of tens of thousands of Han troops were filled with pride and joy. They followed Zhao Yun's instructions and gave up the act of killing the Wei troops who had abandoned their weapons and knelt down.
And Zhao Yun's order was not only sent to tens of thousands of Han troops, but also to tens of thousands of Wei troops.
When tens of thousands of Wei troops heard the order from the Han army, a large number of Wei troops who had abandoned their weapons fell to their knees at the feet of the Han army.
If you don’t kneel, you will die!
One after another, as natural as the wind blowing wheat waves, tens of thousands of Wei troops knelt at the feet of the Han troops one after another.
After most of the Wei troops chose to kneel down, the remaining Wei troops who were still resisting with weapons naturally had to face the attack of tens of thousands of Han troops.
Tens of thousands of Han troops, led by their respective generals, formed into teams, passed over the bodies of the kneeling Wei troops, and swung their swords towards the thousands of Wei troops.
Those thousands of Wei troops were mostly composed of personal soldiers of various Wei generals. Due to their sense of belonging to their lord, they would not directly kneel down and ask for surrender.
But the fighting spirit in the heart will inevitably be severely damaged.
The most important thing is, tens of thousands versus thousands, how to fight this battle?
Thousands of Wei troops retreated steadily under the fierce attack of tens of thousands of Han troops.
As tens of thousands of Han troops continued to attack, many Wei generals even chose to abandon their weapons and kneel down.
This undoubtedly went a step further and greatly weakened the number of thousands of Wei troops.
In the end, there were only about two thousand Wei troops, still stubbornly resisting the fierce attack of the Han army.
The two thousand Wei troops were guarding the high-ranking Wei generals headed by Cao Zhen.
After fighting and retreating, about two thousand Wei troops guarded Cao Zhen and other Wei generals until they retreated to the shore of the Wei River.
They originally wanted to retreat, but now they have no way out.
Cao Zhen looked at the vast Weishui River behind him, and then at the Han army that was constantly surrounding him. At this moment, a look of despair appeared on his face.
Wang Shuang beside Cao Zhen was still loudly scolding the tens of thousands of Wei troops who were kneeling to ask for surrender.
In Wang Shuang's view, they have not lost yet. As long as the tens of thousands of Wei troops pick up their weapons on the ground again, they may not be unable to fight against the approaching Han troops.
But no matter how Wang Shuang yelled, the tens of thousands of Wei soldiers kneeling on the ground seemed to have become deaf, unable to hear his roar at all.
Let alone raising the weapon in his hand to resist again.
Wang Shuang's roar was like a big joke at this moment, explaining an ironic fact - tens of thousands of Wei troops abandoned their weapons, but not one of them was a man.
But can we blame the tens of thousands of Wei troops?
The incompetence of one general will lead to the death of three armies. This has been true since ancient times.
Cao Zhen understood this truth, so he stretched out his hand to stop Wang Shuang's unwilling roar.
"it's useless."
"We lost."
At this moment, Cao Zhen's tone was full of sorrow and deathly silence.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After hearing Cao Zhen's words, Wang Shuang, who had always listened to Cao Zhen's words in the past, rarely had a different opinion at this time.
"General, we are not defeated yet!"
Wang Shuang pointed to the tens of thousands of Wei troops kneeling not far away and continued, "As long as the general can keep up the morale like before, our army will still be able to fight!"
In the battle at Wugong River a few days ago, Wang Shuang escaped back to Wuzhangyuan with his outstanding martial arts.
But Wang Shuang desperately fled back to Wuzhangyuan, was it because he wanted to fall into the hands of the Han army again?
Wang Shuang could not accept this fact.
His eyes were full of unwillingness at the moment.
However, his unwillingness did not resonate with Cao Zhen and other Wei generals around him.
On the contrary, a sneer came from Guo Huai's mouth.
"What to encourage?"
"Look over there!"
First a rhetorical question, and finally a question!
Under Guo Huai's questioning, Wang Shuang looked in the direction of Guo Huai's finger.
Soon Wang Shuang saw tens of thousands of Han troops crossing the Wei River, heading towards their location.
And the flag flying among the tens of thousands of Han troops was clearly Mi Yang's military flag.
The fact that tens of thousands of Han troops once again joined the battlefield was a fact that Wang Shuang could not accept.
What's more, the person leading the tens of thousands of Han troops was Mi Yang!
Now Wang Shuang finally understood why there was no response to his roar.
Because after seeing this, his hand holding the weapon began to tremble uncontrollably.
They were defeated, completely defeated!
So what will be their fate?
The Wei troops guarding Cao Zhen fell one after another under the attack of the Han troops.
The blood flowing from the bodies of many Wei soldiers gathered at the feet of Cao Zhen and other Wei generals under the guidance of the terrain.
Stepping on the blood of his comrades, a sickening chill gradually filled the hearts of the Wei generals.
As time went by, there were not many Wei troops left guarding them.
But at this moment, the Han army stopped attacking.
Under the leadership of the generals, the Han army formed square formations and tightly surrounded Cao Zhen and other Wei generals.
After seeing the actions of the Han army, Cao Zhen couldn't help but look ahead.
If his prediction was correct, Mi Yang should appear soon.
Cao Zhen's prediction was correct. Not long after, the originally tight formation of the Han army suddenly dispersed towards both sides.
The Han army dispersed towards both sides, causing a road to appear in front of Cao Zhen.
In that avenue, Mi Yang slowly appeared in Cao Zhen's eyes while riding a horse.
Mi Yang, who was sitting on the horse, was high-spirited, while Cao Zhen, who was standing under the horse, was covered in blood. The postures of the generals of the two dynasties were different. This moment formed a sharp contrast in the eyes of tens of thousands of people.
The appearance of Mi Yang immediately caused a panic among the Wei generals around Cao Zhen.
In the eyes of these Wei generals, Mi Yang was more terrifying than the tens of thousands of Han troops surrounding them.
Mi Yang rode his horse forward until he was ten steps away from Cao Zhen, and then he stopped his horse's hoofs.
But before Mi Yang could speak, Cao Zhen spoke first:
"Do you just believe him?"
If Cao Zhen's questions fall into the ears of others, they may feel confused.
But Mi Yang could immediately understand who "he" Cao Zhen was referring to in his words.
Mi Yang also knew what the word "believe" in Cao Zhen's mouth meant.
"Before I sent troops to Wuzhangyuan, I never expected that Wuzhangyuan would be captured so easily."
Mi Yang's answer caused a look of disapproval to appear on Cao Zhen's face.
Mi Yang is telling the truth.
His strategy for today's battle was originally:
Let Zhao Yun lead 50,000 Han troops to storm Guo Huai's camp, thereby luring Cao Zhen to lead his troops to help.
Then he personally led the remaining Han army to attack the defenseless Wuzhangyuan Wei army camp.
Based on Mi Yang's original thoughts, he felt that even if Cao Zhen led a large army to rescue Guo Huai, he would probably leave a lot of soldiers and horses in the Wei army camp in Wuzhangyuan.
At least it won't be captured so easily.
But what Mi Yang didn't expect was that when he led the Han army to attack the Wei army camp in Wuzhangyuan, he captured it without much effort.
This directly caused the Wei army to fall into a situation of total collapse.
Of course Cao Zhen could tell that Mi Yang was telling the truth.
But Cao Zhen still couldn't help but sarcastically said:
"Even if you didn't capture our army's Wuzhangyuan Camp, would the outcome of our army have changed?"
Facing Cao Zhen's rhetorical question, Mi Yang decisively replied: "Of course I can't."
Mi Yang always pays attention to killing with one strike when using his troops.
If he could not successfully capture the Wei army camp at Wuzhangyuan, he would also use other methods to remind the Wei army in Weibei that the Wei army camp at Wuzhangyuan was attacked.
Or Mi Yang could divide his troops to surround Wuzhangyuan, and then lead his elite troops to cross the Wei River to surprise the Wei army in the north of Wei.
No matter what happens, the Wei army will be defeated in the end.
For today's battle, Mi Yang made too many plans in advance.
Today's battle is essentially just a matter of conclusion.
"You know, I didn't have a choice.
I can only bet that you are worried about losing your way back and don't dare to attack my camp with all your strength."
Cao Zhen's answer explained Mi Yang's surprise just now.
As Cao Zhen said, perhaps he had thought beforehand that Mi Yang might divide his troops to capture his camp after he led his army to leave Wuzhangyuan.
Given the urgent situation at the time, did he have any other choice?
In fact, since the Han army entered the Western Siege City, Cao Zhen did not know how many Han troops actually existed in the Western Siege City.
But Cao Zhen knew that Hao Zhao still had an elite Wei army in his hands.
Under this situation, Cao Zhen could only hope that Mi Yang would be worried about the safety of the rear route and might send some troops back to Xi County to defend the rear.
In this way, after Mi Yang sent tens of thousands of Han troops to attack Guo Huai, he might not have much mobile troops at his disposal.
Whether this possibility is high or low depends entirely on Mi Yang's personal trust in Zhuge Liang.
But judging from the current results, it is obvious that Cao Zhen made a wrong bet.
Mi Yang really believed in Zhuge Liang and dared not to send reinforcements to the rear from the beginning to the end.

For this reason alone, Cao Zhen felt that he did not lose unfairly.
After sighing, Cao Zhen raised his head and looked at Mi Yang, and asked, "Can you leave me a whole body?
I don’t want to be like my brother Gun, whose bodies were separated.”
Cao Zhen knew that he would die, because as a clan member of Cao Wei, he would not accept being captured.
The most honorable thing he could do at the moment was to kill himself with a sword.
But after committing suicide, whether his head will be in a different place depends entirely on Mi Yang's words.
After saying this, Cao Zhen said again:
"I have thought before that if one day you fall into my hands, I will leave your body intact."
At first glance, Cao Zhen's words may sound a bit ridiculous given the current situation.
But Cao Zhen looked very serious.
However, Cao Zhen's serious look did not win Mi Yang's agreement.
"I remember that when Dong Guiren, who was pregnant with dragon descendants, died tragically, no matter how much the late emperor begged, she never received any dignity."
Mi Yang replied coldly to Cao Zhen.
After listening to Mi Yang's response, Cao Zhen couldn't help but laugh a few times.
After laughing miserably, Cao Zhen said:
"Guanzhong is yours."
After saying this, Cao Zhen decisively raised the sword in his hand, held a sword flower in his hand, and then stabbed it into his chest.
As a splash of blood suddenly appeared, Cao Zhen's body fell heavily backward.
At the same time, bursts of crying suddenly appeared around Cao Zhen.
"General!"
Listening to the cries of those Wei generals, Mi Yang waved his hand impatiently.
Under Mi Yang's wave, the Han army behind him strode forward in an instant.
Why are you crying?
Crocodile tears are always the most disgusting.
