The next morning.
A rush of war drums sounded, and Sima Zhao led 100,000 troops and began to cross the river to attack the Wei army on the west bank.
Henan Yin Wangji and Sili Xiaowei Zhonghui were stationed on the west bank to command the battle.
"Mobilize all the archers and never let Sima Zhao cross the river!" Zhong Hui said to Wang Ji very calmly: "As long as Sima Zhao is not allowed to cross the river, Sima Zhao will be dead if it takes a day."
"Okay,
Just follow Shi Ji’s words!" Wang Ji said with a smile.
"Besides..." Zhong Hui continued: "Find some people with loud voices and stand in front of the formation to shout. Except for Sima Zhao, no one who surrenders will be killed."
"Okay!" Wang Ji said with a smile: "Sima Zhao is a great scholar, so his general will be heartbroken and will perish if he doesn't fight."
There is a big river in front as a barrier, and 50,000 cavalry in formation behind.
Although Wang Ji has never commanded a battle, he doesn't have much anxiety at the moment. Of course, he has already heard that Zhong Shiji is extremely intelligent and he will help him this time. Besides, Sima Zhao is now a rat crossing the street and everyone is shouting to beat him.
, the Sima family has been in decline in the Wei Dynasty.
At this moment, many people came to kill him nearby.
Can Sima Zhao run?
"Sima Yi deceived the emperor, used power to disrupt the country, and has been executed. Your Majesty has decreed that no one who surrenders will be blamed except the traitor Sima Zhao..."
As soon as the fighting started, shouts rang out from the West Bank.
Wang Ji followed Zhong Hui's instructions and asked hundreds of soldiers to shout to the soldiers who were preparing to cross the river, hoping to shake the morale of Sima Zhao's soldiers.
After all, Sima Yi is dead now, Sima Zhao has become a traitor to the Wei Dynasty, and he only has these 100,000 soldiers and horses left in his hands, and there is,
Without the backing of the imperial court, these soldiers and horses have no idea where to find food and drink.
In fact, in the past few days, they have discovered that there is not much food and grass in the army.
I want to have a full meal and not be hungry.
Only by following Sima Zhao's wishes and entering Luoyang, not only would he have food and drink, but he would also be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister.
Just——
Now that several troops from the imperial court are coming to attack them, can these 100,000 of them still fight their way into Luoyang?
Not to mention Luoyang, whether we can cross the Sishui River in front of us is still a problem.
Not to mention, Zhong Hui’s idea quickly took effect.
The thousands of rebels who were the first to descend into the river were shaken.
"The Prime Minister is dead!"
"We can't defeat the imperial army now."
"What can we gain by working so hard for Sima Zhao?"
"That's right!"
"Down!"
"..."
In an instant, thousands of soldiers in front,
Be the first to defect,
They dropped their weapons,
Accelerate the raft sliding under your feet,
At the same time, they shouted to the West Bank: "We are willing to surrender, don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows."
"Okay!" Wang Ji was overjoyed, this trick worked.
"Those who surrender will be spared death!" Wang Jilang shouted: "Let them cross the river!"
Thousands of people in the river surrendered, which angered Sima Zhao who was directing the crossing. He pointed at the soldiers in the river and roared: "Kill them, kill them!"
"Fire arrows and shoot them to death."
"Shoot them."
He wanted to lead his army across the river, but the battle had just begun. Unexpectedly, some of his soldiers would switch sides and surrender. If this was not stopped in time, his 100,000-strong army would soon disperse like birds and beasts, leaving him alone in the end.
"No, General!" Suddenly a person stopped in front of him and said hurriedly: "It's easy to shoot them, but it will make more soldiers defect..." As he said, he paused before continuing: "Now
Crossing the river should be stopped immediately."
"Deng Shizai, are you going to rebel and surrender?" Sima Zhao said angrily.
"General!" Deng Ai cupped his hands and said, "Deng Ai was able to achieve what he has achieved today because of the appreciation of the Prime Minister. Now that the Prime Minister died in vain, how can Deng Ai surrender?"
Deng Ai is now worshiping General Anxi. What he said is true at all. He was able to serve as an official in the court and be granted the title of general. If he had not been appreciated by Sima Yi a few years ago, he might still be working in the fields as his pawn.
Nong Duwei.
"General!" After speaking, Deng Ai continued: "Now the imperial court is prepared, and soldiers and horses from all over the country will soon come to attack our army... Now Wang Ji is using this to deceive the morale of our army. If the general
If the general orders the soldiers who have surrendered to be shot, the rest of the soldiers will definitely be frightened when they hear this. This plan is absolutely impossible."
After listening to Deng Ai's words, Sima Zhao paused and felt that there was some truth.
After all, those thousands of people had surrendered. Even if they were all shot now, they would not be able to change their minds. So they turned around and shouted to the generals around them: "Those who wish to surrender can leave now. I will let you go."
."
Sima Zhao is not stupid. Since he can't stop the soldiers from surrendering, he might as well do the opposite. Aren't there already thousands of people in front of him who have surrendered?
It is inevitable that some people will want to imitate these remaining soldiers.
In this case, let’s take advantage of now.
However, as soon as Sima Zhao finished speaking, several of Sima Zhao's cronies took the lead in shouting: "We will follow the general to the death, and we will not surrender even if we are broken into pieces."
Sima Zhao was not surprised. Although the Sima family was now defeated, the three of them, father and son, also had certain connections in the Wei court over the years.
With a few confidants taking the lead, tens of thousands of people soon stood up and shouted: "I will not surrender until I die, and I will avenge the Prime Minister."
"We swear to the death and will avenge the Prime Minister."
"..."
In an instant, there were hundreds of people shouting on the west bank. At this time, tens of thousands of people on the east bank stood up and shouted, quickly suppressing the voices on the other side.
"Okay!"
Sima Zhao nodded with satisfaction, and then said loudly: "Since you are unwilling to surrender to the imperial court, you will follow my general to overthrow this unscrupulous Cao family."
At this time, it is impossible for Sima Zhao to rebel even if he does not want to.
Because there is no need to think about it. Even if he chooses to surrender now, Cao Fang will definitely not tolerate him and killing him is inevitable.
Moreover, Cao Fang now has a grudge against him for killing his father.
Since Mr. Cao is unkind, don’t blame me, Sima Zhao, for being unjust.
Inside the Chinese military tent.
Sima Zhao postponed crossing the river and returned to the central military tent to discuss countermeasures with his soldiers.
"Everyone!" Sima Zhao said: "Now the imperial troops are attacking from all directions, and our army is in a desperate situation. Since you are willing to follow Yu Zhao, please tell me, what should we do next?"
Fighting alone.
With no rations inside and no reinforcements outside, Sima Zhao is now at a loss for ideas.
In fact, not only Sima Zhao had no idea, but also the generals in the tent were scratching their heads at this moment. Many of them were Sima's cronies, and they were willing to avenge Sima Yi.
But, how to take revenge?
"Deng Shizai!" Seeing that everyone was silent, Sima Zhao looked at Deng Ai and said, "Shizai is well versed in the art of war. At this time, our army is in a desperate situation. I ask Shizai to help me with my plan."
When Deng Ai heard this, he did not answer immediately. Instead, he looked around and found that although the generals in the tent all expressed their loyalty to Sima Zhao and wanted to avenge Sima Yi.
However, at this moment, their faces were all filled with frustration.
Deng Ai sighed in his heart, with this morale, he still wants to invade Luoyang, overthrow the Cao family, and avenge Prime Minister Sima Yi?
Alas——
Seeing Deng Ai sigh, Sima Zhao frowned slightly. It seemed that they were really in a desperate situation now. Even Deng Shizai, who was praised by his father, was at his wits' end.
God...are you going to destroy our Sima family?
