"The Shu army is chasing us."
"There are also Shu troops behind."
Guo Wei led nearly 4,000 Han troops in Pubanjin just as they entered the water. The Wei army's rear team discovered them. The soldiers immediately shouted loudly, hoping that the generals in front would know.
Just——
Although their shouts were loud, the generals in front could still hear them.
Because the front team has already fought against the Han army on the east coast.
Zhuge Liang led the 10,000 elite Han army. As soon as they arrived at the shore, they set up an attack formation. Although the Wei army had an advantage in numbers, they still had more than 30,000 people, while Zhuge Liang only had 10,000 people.
p>
One to three.
However, the Han army had a terrain advantage, relying on the river bank to be higher than the river surface, and all the Wei army were on rafts. They had almost no place to hide, except for the shields in the hands of some soldiers.
But——
When Zhuge Liang reached the river bank, he quickly seized the Wei army's camp. There were more than ten trebuchets and a large number of stone bombs in the camp, but at this time they were all used as weapons by the Han army.
The feathered arrows of the Han army and the stone bullets thrown by the trebuchets continued to attack the Wei army in the river.
Although the Wei army also fired at the river bank, their attacks were insignificant. Boats and rafts were constantly shattered by stone bullets, and a large number of Wei troops continued to fall into the water. Even the few Wei troops who rushed to the river bank were killed by Ma Dai, who had been waiting here.
Waiting for leisure until the end of the work, all will be killed.
Just when the front was in a stalemate, Guo Wei on the west bank of the Yellow River led another four thousand Han troops and rushed toward their rear group in a small wooden boat.
Guo Wei and the others rode wooden boats, while the Wei army basically used rafts. Moreover, the new Han army led by Guo Wei all used long spears. This is because their first-generation instructor was Liu Chan, the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Chan is Zhao Yun's apprentice and is good at using spears.
So when he was training in Qingcheng Mountain, Liu Chan deliberately taught all the marksmanship he learned to 42 New Army soldiers, and these 42 soldiers later became the second generation instructors, and 20 of them were
Responsible for recruiting new troops and then training them.
Spear——
It is one of the weapons of this new army.
So when Guo Wei led his troops to the rear of the Wei army, they took advantage of the length of their weapons to continuously assassinate the Wei army on the raft. After a while of charging, they simply drove the wooden boat to ram the Wei army's raft.
In an instant, the Wei army was at a loss.
Although the Wei army was numerically superior, Zhuge Liang's 10,000 men blocked the attack in front, and Guo Wei's 4,000 soldiers charged in behind. Although the Wei army also fought bravely, it was difficult to withstand the Han army's two-sided attack.
An hour later, the Wei army on the river was already in chaos, with numerous casualties. They either fought individually or rushed to the river bank.
At this time, Zhuge Liang, who was on the east bank, gently shook his feather fan. He knew that the battle was about to end, and that the Wei army in the river was doomed and could not fly even with its wings.
"Send the order!"
Zhuge Liang suddenly said to the young general next to him: "Ask Liao Hua to reinforce Ma Dai and stop the Wei army from landing."
"Prime Minister, no!" Before the young general could take the order, Yang Yi, who joined the army, said hurriedly: "At this time, General Ma Dai on the river bank has sufficient troops to deal with the Wei army that landed on the river. If Liao Hua withdraws from Yekou, the Wei army will most likely come from Yekou.
Escape by mouth."
On the east bank of Pubanjin, there is a flat land, which is the riverbank for crossing the river. You can cross the river from here to the west bank. Compared with the west bank, in addition to this flat land, the east bank also has a slope, which is Yekou.
The Wei army's camp was just above this flat land. At this time, it was guarded by Ma Dai. If the Wei army wanted to cross the river and return to the east bank, there were only two possible routes. One was the river beach guarded by Ma Dai, and the other was Yekou.
The terrain of Yekou is sloping, and there is only a slope several meters wide that is passable. The rest of the land is inaccessible. After Zhuge Liang occupied the Wei army camp, he ordered Liao Hua to lead a thousand soldiers to garrison at Yekou to prevent the Wei army from coming here.
Escape.
At this time, although the Wei army was gone, Cao Rui's warship was still in the river. Yang Yi did not understand the prime minister's meaning, but Zhuge Liang sighed and said: "Our army has won this battle, and capturing Cao Rui is like picking something out of a bag." After that, he paused
After a while, he said: "It's just that if our army captures Cao Rui, Cao Wei will definitely fall into pieces."
Yang Yi heard that Cao Wei was in chaos. Isn't that good?
However, Zhuge Liang said again: "If Cao Wei is in chaos, Sun Quan, the leader of Wu, will march northward and encroach on Cao Wei's territory." As he spoke, he glanced at the Han soldiers on the river beach and sighed: "After this battle, our army has
This is a serious loss of vitality. We currently have no basis to compete with Soochow to seize the Central Plains. It would be better to give him a way out and block Soochow."
After listening to Zhuge Liang's words, Yang Yi did not refute and stepped aside.
He already understood the Prime Minister's intention.
In this battle, Cao Rui can be defeated but not destroyed.
Not long——
Liao Hua withdrew from Yekou. Chen Qun on the warship in the river was immediately overjoyed: "Your Majesty, this battle is irreversible. Your Majesty can quickly disembark from Yekou."
"Yekou?"
Cao Rui looked up and saw that the Han army that had been blocking there had withdrawn towards the river bank. He couldn't help laughing loudly and said: "Zhuge is really without a plan. If I use troops, this army will definitely hold on to this entrance. Let me wait."
Died in the river."
"Your Majesty!" Chen Qun shook his head and said, "This is not Zhuge's lack of plans, but rather his scheming."
"What does Aiqing mean by this?" Cao Rui suddenly asked in confusion.
"Your Majesty, our army has been defeated in this battle;" Chen Qun glanced at the chaotic Wei army, sighed and said: "If the Shu army is trapped in various places with blocked entrances, I and your Majesty will definitely give up."
Cao Rui nodded when he heard this. This is where he laughed at Zhuge.
"But -" Chen Qun said again: "The overwhelming force of the Shu army in this battle was a surprise attack with the intention of capturing Yongliang. After this battle, Zhuge's goal has been achieved. If he traps Your Majesty to death, it will be detrimental to him."
"If Your Majesty fails, the Central Plains will be in chaos."
"The Central Plains is in chaos -" Chen Qun said, raising his eyes to the southeast, and did not continue. Cao Rui was not a stupid person, so he naturally knew what Chen Qun was going to say.
"Send the order!" Cao Rui said loudly: "Go to Yekou!"
Now that he knows Zhuge Liang's intentions, and now that the situation is over and there is no chance of a comeback, Cao Rui just wants to leave the Yellow River quickly.
If you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood.
Although the Wei Dynasty was defeated in this battle, as long as I am still alive and as long as the Wei Dynasty is still there, I can take back the land of Yongliang sooner or later.
Cao Rui's warship headed straight for Yekou, while Zhuge Liang commanded the army and continued to kill the remaining Wei army. Guo Wei in the river had already entered the Wei army's formation. Hundreds of small wooden boats rushed left and right, disrupting the Wei army. Fall.
But just when he was ready to kill, he saw Cao Rui's ship, which was about to escape.
"Cao Rui wants to run away."
"Hurry up!"
When Guo Weina was able to let Emperor Cao Wei go, he immediately ordered his sergeants to drive a small boat straight to Cao Rui's ship and pursue it. While pursuing, he also ordered his soldiers to shout loudly.
"Capture Cao Rui alive!"
"Capture Cao Rui alive!"
In an instant——
The voice of capturing Cao Rui alive resounded on both sides of the Yellow River.
