Chapter 1219 Strategic Retreat

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the soldiers who were pursuing the Wei army withdrew and formed a formation behind Zhao Yun.

Huang Zhong, Chen Dao and Dianman stood in front of the military formation, waiting for orders.

Zhao Yun looked serious, glanced at all the soldiers with cold eyes, and shouted: "Withdraw!"

After giving the order, the army quickly rushed towards the south gate.

The Shu army withdrew silently. The fleeing Wei army was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, the Shu army had withdrawn. The next moment, all the Shu army soldiers cheered loudly, shouted and cheered, and some soldiers even shed tears.

The faces were full of laughter. For the fleeing Wei soldiers, they had been racing with the King of Hell. As long as the soldiers who ran slower, most of them were killed.

Those who survived were all soldiers who ran for their lives and dug in wherever possible.

Wei Jun cheered, and Ma Chao and Sima Yi also stopped.

There was a bow and arrow stuck in Ma Chao's back, and a bow and arrow stuck in his right arm. Fortunately, the arrow was not poisonous, so Ma Chao was not shot, but it also caused huge damage to Ma Chao. His right arm was shot.

Ma Chao was temporarily unable to use force, but the bow and arrow on his right chest might affect Ma Chao's life.

"Military advisor, the Shu army has really retreated. It seems that General Xiahou is approaching Jinyang with his troops."

Ma Chao reined in his horse, endured the pain, turned over and dismounted.

He stood upright with his hands on the horse's back. His body was still swaying and he was almost unsteady. After a while, Ma Chao stabilized his body and helped Sima Yi, who had an arrow in his butt, to dismount.

"Cough! Cough!"

Ma Chao couldn't help coughing twice, and his face became paler.

Sima Yi asked worriedly: "Meng Qi, how are you doing? Can you still persist?"

Ma Chao nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, military advisor, I will not die until Wang Can dies. I will also watch your Majesty kill Wang Can with my own eyes and avenge the Ma family."

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and his eyes flashed with deep hatred. It was inevitable that the injuries on his body became more and more serious. Due to the loss of too much blood, his body was very weak. Compared to Ma Chao's injuries, although Sima Yi's arrow in the butt hurt,

But it was not fatal and had little impact, so apart from the pain in his butt, Sima Yi was still very energetic.

Sima Yi changed the topic and said, "Meng Qi, thank you for your life-saving grace."

Huang Zhong shot an arrow at Sima Yi. If Ma Chao hadn't grabbed Sima Yi quickly, it would have been Sima Yi who was pierced through the chest by the bow and arrow. Even though Sima Yi thought Ma Chao was a reckless man, kindness is a kindness, and thanks should be thanked.

Ma Chao shook his head and said: "Commander, the Shu army has retreated. Should we let the soldiers pursue it?"

He looked at Sima Yi, his eyes still sharp.

At this time, Ma Chao still thought about chasing the Shu army instead of recovering from his injuries, which shows how strong his desire for revenge was. But even though Ma Chao had the intention, his physical strength could not keep up. His vision went dark, his body shook twice, and he was about to die.

He fell to the ground. Sima Yi had quick eyesight and quick hands. He didn't care about the injury on his butt and supported Ma Chao with both hands.

He smiled and murmured to himself: "Why bother thinking about revenge when you are like this?"

Sima Yi ordered the soldiers to carry Ma Chao and limp toward the crowd.

After walking around, Sima Yi asked: "Where is Wei Jian? Check where Wei Jian is?" He was running for his life before, but no trace of Wei Jian was found, but now he remembered Wei Jian.

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Jian ran out.

This guy was wearing the clothes of an ordinary soldier and was mixed in with the soldiers. He looked miserable and was not killed.

Sima Yi smiled and said: "Wei Wei, if the Shu army retreats, there will be no danger in the city. You should go to the city immediately to find some of the best doctors and invite them to the Governor's Mansion."

"promise!"

After Wei Jian received the order, he hurriedly went to invite people.

Sima Yi was injured in the buttocks and could not ride a horse, so he could only limp back to the governor's house with his soldiers. On the way, Sima Yi kept gathering soldiers, but the number was very small, and most of them were injured and lost their combat effectiveness.



Fa Zheng was waiting at the city gate, and countless Shu troops had gathered around him.

The soldiers stationed at the east gate, west gate, and north gate have returned and are waiting for the rest of the Shu army to return.

Not long after, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Dian Man and Chen Dao returned with their army. Zhao Yun rode to Fazheng's side, clasped his fists and said: "Military advisor, I failed to kill Sima Yi and Ma Chao this time, but General Huang shot with an arrow.

He shot Sima Yi in the butt and Ma Chao in the arm and chest. Both of them were injured, but they finally got some benefits."

When Fazheng heard that Sima Yi was hit by an arrow in his butt, he gave a thumbs up and said: "Old general, you are truly the most honest person in ancient times!"

Huang Zhong stroked his beard with a cheerful smile on his face.

Noriman held up two sledgehammers and said: "Strategic Advisor, the army has been gathered. Let's give the order to leave the city."

Fazheng shook his head and said, "Shen Pei went to pick up his family, but he hasn't come back yet."

Dianman had an angry look on his face and shouted loudly: "The trial mate has both ends of the rat, and there is a bone on the back of the head. He used to be Yuan Shao's subordinate, but later surrendered to your majesty, and then quietly surrendered to Cao Cao. Wait until we defraud Jinyang."

The city has surrendered to Your Majesty again. He has no backbone at all. What should we do with such a person? It would be best to cut him down."

By chance, Shenpei came with his family. Hearing Noriman's words, Shenpei suddenly felt extremely embarrassed.

Shen Pei brought his family with him, a total of dozens of people.

When Fazheng saw the huge lineup of the Shen family, his expression became gloomy. He asked Shenpei to go home and bring his family, which had already given Shenpei enough face. If Shenpei knew himself, he should just take the son who would carry on the family line. Now Shenpei

Dragging his family and dozens of people along with him is obviously not enough to travel with the army.

Dianman stopped Shen Pei and shouted loudly: "Mr. Shen, the military advisor is very kind to you by letting you leave with the army. You are dragging your children and your family with you, and you are trying your best. I don't think you want to follow, stay in Jinyang and wait."

Die."

Shen Pei hurriedly explained: "Little general, after the guilty minister's family members leave the city, they will not travel with the army, but will go to Luoyang alone to settle down."

After hearing this, Fazheng nodded and ordered: "Get out of the city!"

The army, led by cavalry and followed by infantry, quickly left Jinyang.

After leaving the city, Zhao Yun followed Fazheng and asked in a low voice: "Military advisor, this time we fought with Sima Yi. Although Sima Yi's 60,000-strong army was crippled, we were also exposed. Next, it will take a lot of effort to take back Bingzhou.

It will take a lot of effort, especially since we have to capture Jizhou and Youzhou, how can we plan?"

Fa Zheng thought for a while and said: "We led the army from Luoyang. When we went north, we had secretly controlled Hanoi County and Shangdang County. Since the news has leaked, let them show their flags and fight against the officials of the counties who rebelled against His Majesty.

.We will use the strength of Shangdang County and Hanoi County to start a counterattack and give Sima Yi a good fight."

"Yes, I will order someone to deliver the message right now."

Zhao Yun replied and immediately executed the order.



Xiahou Dun led an army of 100,000 to Jinyang, and the Shu army had completely left.

In the city, injured or dead Wei soldiers could be seen in many places. It was a mess. Xiahou Dun had just entered the city and found a living Wei soldier. He asked about the situation and learned that the place where the Shu army and Wei army fought was in the military camp. Xiahou Dun

Then he hurriedly led the army towards the military camp.

Arriving at the military camp, Xiahou Dun was stunned.

The military camp was in a mess, with cold corpses everywhere, pools of blood everywhere, and countless injured soldiers screaming loudly. The tragic scene made Xiahou Dun's face change greatly.

One can imagine how miserable Sima Yi and others were.

Xiahou Dun asked the army to stay to clean up the battlefield, and then rushed to the governor's mansion with a few soldiers.

Entering the hall, Xiahou Dun found no one.

He called for the attendant from the governor's office and asked the attendant to inform Sima Yi. Not long after, Sima Yi limped into the hall, saluted Xiahou Dun, bowed and said, "I have met General Xiahou."

Xiahou Dun asked: "Zhongda, what's wrong with you?"

Sima Yi smiled bitterly and said: "I was hit in the butt by a bow and arrow, and it is difficult to walk."

Xiahou Dun laughed loudly when he heard this.

He pointed at Sima Yi with his right hand, showing an expression of disbelief, and jokingly said: "You Sima Yi is a ghost, you can be said to be the only one who plots against others, no one can plot against you. It's incredible that you can suffer a loss!"

Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "If the general hadn't arrived in time, Sima Yi would have been a dead body."

Xiahou Dun asked: "Where is Ma Chao? This guy is very skilled in martial arts, why didn't he see Ma Chao?"

Sima Yi explained: "In order to protect my safety, Meng Qi was shot by Huang Zhong in the right arm and an arrow in the back. He was seriously injured. I asked a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. He said that no vital parts were injured, but excessive bleeding.

The body is still a little weak. However, Meng Qi's chest and right arm are injured, and it will be impossible to lead the troops into battle for two to three months."

Xiahou Dun frowned and said: "Zhongda, what's going on in Jinyang's war? You worked so hard to set up a trap, but how come our army suffered heavy casualties in the end?"

Sima Yi smiled bitterly and explained the whole process to Xiahou Dun in detail.

"His! His!"

After Xiahou Dun heard this, he couldn't help but gasp.

To be honest, the few soldiers in the city were able to survive and persist until Xiahou Dun rescued them, thanks to Sima Yi's quick decision. However, Sima Yi was also lucky. Wei Jian discovered the Shu army entering the city sooner or later, allowing Sima Yi to escape.

Otherwise, Sima Yi would be caught by the Shu army in his sleep. No matter how powerful Sima Yi was, it would be useless.

Xiahou Dun asked again: "There are 60,000 Wei soldiers in the city, how many are left?"

Sima Yi said: "There are only more than 3,000 people left!"

Xiahou Dun looked gloomy and asked coldly: "Where is the judge? He is the chief of Jinyang, where did he go?"

Sima Yi said: "He escaped long ago and left with the Shu army."

Xiahou Dun slapped his hand on the desk and shouted: "We have lost nearly 60,000 soldiers of the Wei army in this battle. We will not give up until we take revenge. Zhongda, you take good care of your injuries and recover as soon as possible before defeating Fazheng."

.”

Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "Fa Zheng is my fierce enemy. Even if the general doesn't say it, I will understand it too."

He raised his head and stared at the blue sky outside the hall, with a cold and stern light flashing in his eyes. This was the first time that Sima Yi had suffered such a defeat since his debut.

Without defeating Fazheng, he would have no face to face the dead Wei soldiers.
