Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Fourth Closing

The confrontation between Pubanjin did not last much. As a large number of Cao troops crossed the river, Zhang Fei's reaction was a bit intriguing. He still came to attack the camp every day, but the strength was not too strong, which gave Cao Zhen the feeling that it was like dealing with errands. Although there were not many Han troops chasing here, there were only about 20,000 Han troops who entered Guanzhong now. What else was going on, Cao Zhen could probably guess that he would conquer cities in Guanzhong, and even go to Xiliang. The large space that was vacant for the defeat of the Wei army took time to digest.

But with Zhang Fei's personality, he shouldn't have let them go so easily.

There is a conspiracy ~!

This was Cao Zhen's judgment, but he couldn't say what kind of conspiracy it was. Cao's army had already crossed the river, but Zhang Fei was not in a hurry. This should have been a good thing, but Cao Zhen couldn't be happy.

"General, the soldiers have already crossed the river. There are still more than 5,700 people in the camp now!" A general came over and bowed to Cao Zhen and said, "It's time for the general to cross the river."

As a large number of Cao's troops crossed the river, the guards were already inadequate. If the Han army attacked for a strong force, the camp would probably not be able to defend. It is already admirable that Cao Zhen could do this. As for the rest... Although it was not stated clearly, their lives were obviously not as valuable as Cao Zhen's life. In this crisis, they must also make choices.

"Well, next trip, we will cross the river." Cao Zhen nodded silently when he heard this, and felt much more relaxed. He did everything he could do, and the rest... It was not that he didn't want to care about it, but that he couldn't control it anymore. I'm afraid that the last group would not be able to leave. No matter what Zhang Fei made, the next five thousand people would be regarded as a merit for him.

Sometimes, the choices are something that must be done in desperation. In order to protect one's vitality, Cao Zhen has done the best he can do. Now, as the Wei army continues to cross the river, the Wei army who stayed in the camp has begun to feel a little uncontrollable. He is worried that he will become the person who was left behind. Even if Cao Zhen is still there, he can no longer suppress this restlessness.

The morning sun is a bit cold. Autumn has arrived. The coolness in the northern air is already very heavy, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is even more amazing.

Under the command of the general, the Wei army at the ferry was orderly boarding the fishing boats and preparing to cross the river. Because the Han army's offensive was not too strong these days, and the Wei army had never encountered dangers when crossing the river. Therefore, the Wei army boarding the boat was very stable and even laughter could be heard. Although there was only one river separated, it gave people the feeling of being a line of life and death. They were transitioning from death to life, and this originally tense and confused heart also relaxed.

Once this environment is comfortable, vigilance will become worse. Zhang Fei has given them the illusion of comfort these days. What Cao Zhen thinks here? The soldiers below don’t know, but for ordinary soldiers, they probably have a thought in their minds. The Han army has no choice but to do so. As long as the camp is not broken, it will be safe. What’s more, it’s already in the river and is about to reach the other side. As long as they go ashore, it will be safe.

It is precisely based on this idea that when a fleet appears in the upstream direction, everyone's first reaction is not to be on guard, but to think whether the ships collected from Hedong are supported by support, or the fleet can be cut off and more soldiers will be squeezed.

It was not until the other party approached and shot arrows here that the Wei army realized that it was clearly the Han army.

The panic and fearful mood suddenly became tighter and did not leave the shore too far. The Wei army on the shore was shouting anxiously, and rows of archers ran to this side and shot arrows on the river. However, the other party's ship was downstream and the speed was fast. In the blink of an eye, the ship rushed over, and the ship even hit directly. Many Wei soldiers were directly knocked into the water, thumping to catch something.

As for this Han army, some people fell into the water, but the other party was wearing vine armor and could not sink at all. After adjusting their bodies, they rushed towards the Wei army's fishing boat.

Water war was definitely a weakness for the Wei army. Of course, this Vine Armor Army was not as strong as that of course. The Han army's naval army was basically concentrated in Jiangling, Jiangxia and Yueyang. There was no naval army organization in the Northern Expedition army. However, the advantage of the Vine Armor Army was that it was not afraid of water. Even if it fell into the water, it could float up by itself without the need for soldiers to know water. Moreover, it was invulnerable to swords and guns. The Cao army's soldiers also wanted to resist, but they could not resist. They were soon defeated by this Vine Armor Army, and all the ships were sunk. Cao's army's retreat was completely cut off.

When Cao Zhen heard the news, he could only watch the ships that were crossing the river that were sinking one by one, but they were powerless. Without a boat, they could not swim over. Moreover, even if they swim over, it was useless. Seeing that the Han army was obviously good at water battles, and the Wei army was not much better than when the Battle of Red Cliffs.

But the hope of retreat was completely extinct. Looking at the Han army that was not on the shore but was cruising around, Cao Zhen was cold for a moment. He now understood why Zhang Fei had put those soldiers and horses across the river these days. The other party did not want to suffer too much loss. At present, the camp of more than 5,000 people was easy for the Han army to attack the camp, and the other party's target was obviously himself.

"Woo~" The rumbling drums accompanied by the sound of horns, Zhang Fei also began to attack, and Zhang Fei's general attack began!

"General, go quickly!" Several Cao army generals rushed up and said to Cao Zhen.

"Let's go?" Cao Zhen laughed bitterly: "Zhang Fei attacked the camp, and there was a river blocking the road. Where can we go?"

"Heyang is seventy miles north of the camp. We can take advantage of the Han army's attack on the camp and retreat to Heyang to cross the river!" A general of Cao's army said in a deep voice.

As for the Wei army in this camp, they can't control it now, and the defeat has been decided. The most important thing now is to protect Cao Zhen and his generals.

When life and death are at stake, Cao Zhen was no longer hypocritical and polite. It would be the best if he could not be caught by the Han army. He nodded and took everyone out of the barracks and looked north.

As soon as Cao Zhen left, the Wei army, which had already had a low morale, could not resist the Han army's attack. In less than a moment, they were broken through the gate. Many people knelt on the ground and asked for surrender.

"General, Cao Zhen fled to Heyang!" In the chaotic camp, Huang Zhong rode his horse to Zhang Fei and said in a deep voice.

Heyang is relatively remote and should not have been captured by the Han army. If Cao Zhen really ran to Heyang, the Han army's waiting for these days would be in vain. The five thousand Wei army would definitely not be as important as Cao Zhen's value.

If it weren't for Cao Zhen, Zhang Fei wouldn't have waited so many more days.

"Don't worry, Shi Zai has made arrangements, he can't leave!" Zhang Fei sneered: "Take up these Wei troops first. Those who can be incorporated, and those who are unwilling to surrender will be killed on the spot!"

"Here!" Huang Zhong agreed and said goodbye and left.

The war in Pubanjin was decided after Cao Zhen fled to Heyang. The main generals ran away and they were still fart?

However, Cao Zhen did not really run to Heyang. After running out of the camp for ten miles, he heard a gong sound on both sides, and was blocked by hundreds of Han soldiers wearing vine armor.

The leader was seven feet tall, with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, and his whole body felt very uncomfortable, but he had a sense of elegance. At this moment, he stopped Cao Zhen's troops and dozens of people and smiled and said, "General Zidan, Deng Ai has been waiting here for a long time!"

Deng Ai?

Cao Zhen looked at Deng Ai coldly, another strange name, and his eyes swept around the hundreds of vine armored soldiers, and finally turned his eyes back to Deng Ai without saying nonsense, but just silently drew out the sword.

There is no need to say more. At this point, they cannot surrender, and Deng Ai obviously cannot let them go. At present, they can only forcefully break through.

Deng Ai raised his hand, and hundreds of vine armored troops quickly stepped forward, forming a siege, blocking the way Cao Zhen and others. At this point, words were meaningless.

"Kill!" Cao Zhen roared and rushed towards the front. The sword in his hand pierced at the Fuji armor army that was blocking him. Although he had not done it himself for many years, his martial arts had not fallen. This sword failed to pierce the Fuji armor, but its strength made the Fuji armor army stagger back a few steps.

What?

Cao Zhen opened his eyes wide in shock, and looked at the vine armor army standing up like a person in front of him. He was shocked. The vine armor army on both sides had already taken advantage of the situation to force him up. Cao Zhen roared and slashed wildly, but it had no effect. The six vine armor soldiers held vine shields to protect their heads and slowly surrounded Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen gradually felt a little difficult to move, and kicked the vine armor army away with a fierce kick, but he would soon be surrounded again. In the end, he was squeezed into the center by six vine armor army, and it was difficult to move any longer.

Deng Ai stepped forward and said aloud: "General Cao, I will only ask you once next time, are you willing to surrender?"

"Don't think about it!" Cao Zhen yelled gritted his teeth.

Deng Ai nodded: "Since that's the case, please ask the general to go on the road! Kill!"

"Puff puff puff puff puff~"

Almost at the same time, the six vine armored soldiers who had already prepared stabbed the blade in their hands into Cao Zhen's body from under the vine shield, and blood continued to spray out the blade. Cao Zhen's body twitched violently several times. When the six vine armored soldiers retreated, they fell to the ground weakly.

"General!" The roar of the Cao army generals around him rang out, but they were powerless. Facing the invulnerable vine armor army, not to mention breaking through the siege, self-protection was not enough. However, in this moment, more than a dozen people had fallen down, and the rest were gradually forced into the corner by the vine armor army. Seeing Cao Zhen dead in battle, they roared angrily, and wanted to rush out and greet them were the ruthless and cold blades.

it's over!

Seeing the last Wei general lying in a pool of blood, Deng Ai sighed silently. The battle in Guanzhong, coupled with the final pursuit of Cao Zhen, took only three months, and at this point, it was completely over.
Chapter completed!
