Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 164
The soldiers of the Wei army who were closer to the Chinese army fled sooner.The frontline soldiers who were still fighting fiercely knelt down and surrendered directly.

The battle line that was originally fighting and squeezing disappeared suddenly. The Wei army in the front row surrendered in unison, and the Wei army in the back row retreated in a chaotic manner. The Han army directly passed the surrendering soldiers and chased the fleeing Wei army.

The yellow wave continued to disintegrate and collapse, and the Wei army was no longer as brave as before.Long and Liang cavalry soldiers gave up the idea of ​​continuing to fight, escaped from the entanglement of Qingjiawei, and fled northward.

The Wei army, which lost its organizational system and command, was like pigs all over the mountains and plains, being driven around by people, either surrendering or fleeing.

Under the leadership of Xiang Yu, the Qingjiawei then concealed and killed hundreds of Wei soldiers kneeling on both sides of the road and were captured by the Han army.

The figure of Zhang He didn't know where he was going. He lost the famous general in the world, abandoned his horse and fled, and led a dozen people across the valley all the way to the north.

Among the panicked crowd, Wei Yan had lost his target and sighed with regret.

In the formation of Lian Chong, Niu Jin shouted sharply: "Withdraw the troops, everyone retreats from the same path."

The tiger and leopard cavalry rushed out, but were blocked by the Han army who came to support, and there were forests of spears everywhere in front of them.The tiger and leopard cavalry, who were in a desperate situation, fell into a frantic fight, and Niu Jin personally led the tiger and leopard cavalry to break through the formation.

The armor on Niu Jin's body was full of gaps, and the bright red blood overflowed the armor, and the hot blood continued to flow out.Niu Jin, who had been fighting for a long time, was exhausted, and his steps gradually became heavy, and he could no longer hold on.

Niu Jin was supported by his personal guards and tried to break out of the encirclement, but was blocked by the Han army. The brave tiger and leopard riders covered Niu Jin, and they were still fighting.

Seeing it from a distance, Wang Ping couldn't help sighing: "It's no wonder that the world's mighty soldiers can't match the three guards, and the tiger and leopard cavalry are so brave!"

Huo Yi pointed to the direction of the army formation, and persuaded: "General, you can let the tiger and leopard ride a way out, and then hide and kill them."

Wang Ping sighed slightly in his heart and nodded slightly.

Wang Ping tried to force the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to surrender, and added the brave Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to the Han army's cavalry, but he never thought that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had no intention of surrendering and still tried to charge out.

The gap was opened in the formation of the Han army, hundreds of tigers and leopards fled from the gap, and the Qingjia guards behind them were already prepared, riding and shooting to follow.

Wang Ping turned his horse's head and rode his horse up to the gentle slope. In the valley, there were corpses laying on pillows, bleeding oars, and the stream was flowing with bright red water.The wounded soldiers wailed with blood, begging for help; the soldiers who survived by chance looked around for their fellow countrymen and comrades.

The soldiers of the Han army either drove the scattered soldiers and gathered in one place; or cleaned the battlefield, picked up armor and weapons, and cut off the right ear to report their military exploits.

Wei Yan took Zhang Yun's big flag and pocket, and happily returned to the Chinese army all the way.

Wang Ping stepped forward to meet Wei Yan, pointed at Wei Yan's spoils, and said with a smile: "Today's battle depends on the general's bravery, and the general can be the first."

Wei Yan laughed out loud, stroking his beard arrogantly, and said, "This little feat is insignificant, it's just a pity that Zhang He escaped by chance."

Wang Ping put his arms around Wei Yan's shoulders, and said cordially: "After this battle, Ping will speak to His Majesty and the Prime Minister about the achievements of Brother Wen!"

Wei Yan put his arm around Wang Ping's shoulders and said with a smile, "You're welcome. Zijun has already contributed a lot to the coach."

After chatting for a while, Wei Yan took the spoils and boasted all the way back to the camp.

Li Qian smiled happily, stepped forward to congratulate him, and said: "Zhang Yun, a famous general in the world, is famous for his ingenuity. Today, the general resists the enemy head-on and defeats the enemy in one battle. The general's prestige will surely spread all over the world."

Wang Ping raised the corner of his mouth, looked at Li Qian, and said calmly: "It's just a fluke to defeat the enemy, but relying on the best soldiers, defeating the enemy with a large number of soldiers is not worth mentioning."

Wang Pingyao pointed to the north, and said in a deep voice, "Take a brief rest tonight, and head north tomorrow."

"promise!"

……

In 228 A.D., the second year of Wei Emperor Cao Rui Taihe, the sixth year of Han Emperor Liu Chan Jianxing, the seventh year of Wu Wang Sun Quan Huangwu, the beginning of April.

Wei General Zhang Yun defeated Wei Yan at Woganban, and rectified Longbei and Liangzhou sergeants, with a total of more than [-] soldiers.Along the chaoling road, he led the crowd southward, and fought with the Han general Wang Ping at the Guanchuan River.

Wang Ping led more than 600 elite soldiers to attack Zhang He from the valley, and Wei Yan went straight to the Chinese army.Zhang He was defeated and fled with only a dozen people abandoning their horses to climb the mountain; Wei general Niu Jin died in battle, leaving only a hundred tiger and leopard riders to flee;

The Han army captured more than [-] people from the Wei army. Wang Ping took advantage of the victory and pursued them, and the troops went straight to Woganban.Liangzhou was empty, and Zhang Yun urgently asked General Cao Zhen for help.Fortunately, the [-] Wei troops sent by Cao Zhen to transport food came here to protect the safety of Jincheng County.

After the general Cao Zhen got the letter, he pondered for a long time, thinking that the important land of Liangzhou should not be taken away, so he recruited 8000 people to defend Liangzhou; thinking that Zhang He was defeated, Longxi would definitely compromise, the current rescue is useless, and it is impossible to break through Zhuge Liang's army, which will waste food in vain With heavy supplies, they withdrew from Qingshui County, west of Longshan Mountain, to Qian County, east of Longshan Mountain.

After Zhuge Liang heard about it, he dispatched his troops eastward to seize the two counties of Chengji and Qingshui counties in the west of Longshan Mountain.

Ji Han's Northern Expedition successfully captured the six counties of Longxi, Guangwei, Tianshui, Wudu, Nan'an, and Yinping.

Cao Zhen looked at Longshan from the top of Si County, and remained silent for a long time. Although it was not because of his own defeat that caused Longxi to fall, but his own rescue failed, he felt uncomfortable.The general situation of the world is complicated this year. First, the great Sima Cao Xiu defeated Shiting, and then the Shu Han captured Long.

Cao Zhen supported the female wall, and said slowly: "Boji (Guo Huai character), what do you think of Shu Duolong?"

Guo Huai pursed his lips, pondered for a moment, and said: "General, I think that Guanzhong is the upper reaches of the Central Plains, and Longyou is the upper reaches of Guanzhong, so if you want to control Guanzhong, you want to control Longyou first. After Shu seized Longyou, you can Relying on the danger of the Longshan Mountains and the convenience of the Weishui River, we will go east out of Guanzhong with a condescending position."

After hearing this, Cao Zhen smiled, patted the female wall and said, "Boji (Guo Huai character), in your opinion, how can our army take back Longyou?"

Guo Huai pointed to the northwest and said in a deep voice, "Liangzhou!"

"Oh! Where did you say that?" Cao Zhen couldn't help showing approval.

"General, Huai previously said that Longyou is the upper reaches of Guanzhong, and Liangzhou is also the upper reaches of Longyou. Longyou is condescending and looking down on Guanzhong, but Liangzhou is also peeking at Longyou from a high position." Guo Huai said.

"If our army wants to take Long, we can send three armies to attack Shu. One army will go south from Liangzhou to attack Longyou, another army will go south from Guanzhong to attack Longxi, and the last army will go south from Guanzhong to attack Hanzhong. Shu will face the enemy three times. , if one army wins, it will seize Longyi!" Guo Huai said in a deep voice.

Guo Huai paused, and continued: "Even if our army retreats, we can still use Liangzhou and Guanzhong as bases, defend the city and disperse our forces."
