Ji Han Da Sima
Chapter 673 It’s Too Late to Regret
Chapter 673 It’s Too Late to Regret
At the moment, Zhang He was jealous that Sima Yi was stealing his credit, but before long, Zhang He might change his mind.
On the chaotic battlefield, the Han army, defeated by the Wei army, under the leadership of Feng Xi and Liao Hua, threw away their armor and helmets, and the flag bearers dropped their flags and hid their banners, and fled upstream in a panic.
The pursuing Wei soldiers, led by Niu Jin and Jia Si, chased the fleeing Han soldiers like hyenas smelling meat. The Wei cavalry were very fast, and when they caught up with the fleeing Han soldiers, they stabbed them with their spears or shot them with bows and arrows.
Seeing that the Wei army was chasing them closely, the infantrymen did not dare to slow down at all. In order to escape the pursuit of the Wei army, they threw away everything they could throw away. Some Han soldiers panicked and jumped into the Yu River to avoid the pursuit of the Wei army, relying on their ability to swim.
The pursuit path was littered with flags, armor, and weapons abandoned by the defeated Han army, which no longer had the momentum of the previous battle. Even Niu Jin and Jia Si could conclude that the Han army was not feigning defeat but was truly defeated!
Niu Jin held the reins and laughed, saying, "The Han army is brave, but the fleeing army has no courage. Now we should lead the cavalry to charge forward and kill Feng Xi, Liao Hua and other generals to achieve great success!"
As he spoke, Niu Jin rode away, leading the cavalry to advance at a faster speed.
Seeing Niu Jin speeding up his horse, Jia Si was worried that Niu Jin would steal his credit, so he ordered, "All troops, advance quickly and pursue the enemy army."
The lieutenant general said worriedly: "If we move forward quickly, we may cause our troops to be dispersed. If we encounter an ambush by the enemy army~"
Jia Si angrily slapped the lieutenant's head with his sword, cursing, "Niu Jin has already led the cavalry to advance. If our army marches slowly, Niu Jin will get all the military merits."
Then Jia Si pointed to the chaotic battlefield and said, "The enemy's armor has been completely abandoned, and their flags have fallen. How could this be a trick?"
"kill!"
With Jia Si's instructions, the Wei army no longer pursued in an orderly formation, but instead ran as fast as they could. Those who were strong and good at running were in the front, and those who were weak and not good at running were behind. More than ten thousand people advanced in a disorderly manner, and there was no longer the orderliness as when they formed a formation.
Niu Jin followed the Han army's footsteps and pursued them. He didn't know how far he had pursued them, but he had already reached the reed marsh on the banks of the Yushui River.
"General, Feng Xi is there!"
The attendant saw Feng Yaqi with his sharp eyes and shouted.
"on!"
Niu Jin was greatly inspired and said, "Feng Xi is a great general of the bandits. If we can capture and kill him, I will be the first in this battle!"
"Feng Xi, don't leave!"
The fleeing Feng Xi seemed to have discovered Niu Jin who was pursuing him, and sped up his horse to retreat.
As Niu Jin was riding his horse in pursuit, an exciting drum sound came from somewhere, which startled Niu Jin, who was riding his horse in pursuit, and he looked around at the terrain.
But beside him, there was a large reed marsh by the Yu River. And for some reason, the reed marsh began to shake violently, as if a large number of wild animals were rushing out.
Niu Jin suddenly reacted, he seemed to understand something, and shouted loudly: "Withdraw!"
However, before he could say anything, a "Zhao" flag was raised from the reed marsh, and the Han army's infantry and cavalry rushed out from it and attacked the pursuing Wei army.
"Zhao Zilong of Changshan is here!"
The leader was Zhao Yun, who was wearing armor and leading the way. Although he was old, he was still wielding his spear. When Zhao Yun encountered the Wei cavalry, he stabbed and stabbed with his spear, killing two of them. The rest of the Wei cavalry were terrified and did not dare to pursue him, so they fled in panic.
Not only did the Wei cavalry want to escape, but even Niu Jin, who had been chasing them too far, also wanted to flee. When he saw Zhao Yun leading his cavalry to charge out and cut off and kill his Wei cavalry, he knew that the Han army had set an ambush here.
Niu Jin did not dare to stay for long. He hid from the rain of arrows shot from the reeds and fled to the other side with his cavalry, hoping to get back to the camp from another way. After all, as long as you have the green mountains, you will never be short of firewood.
Halfway through the journey, Liao Hua led his troops to break out and shouted, "Liao Yuanjian from Xiangyang is here, why doesn't Niu Jin surrender?"
Liao Hua was beaten to a pulp by the Wei army, and had long since set his sights on Niu Jin, who was chasing ahead. Now that Niu Jin was trying to escape, Liao Hua would lead his cavalry to surround and kill him, in order to avenge his defeat!
"Breakout!"
Niu Jin pursued too far, and Zhao Yun suddenly rushed out from the reeds, so the Wei cavalry scattered and fled. He had only a few hundred cavalrymen by his side. However, Liao Hua's troops had 700 infantry and cavalrymen, so he had to fight hard to have a chance of winning.
Niu Jin was still as brave as ever, and he led the way, killing two men in a row, shouting and charging forward. His followers were inspired by him and charged after him.
"Mount the crossbow!"
Liao Hua sneered, and dozens of crossbowmen suddenly appeared in the battle array as he called out. They were not holding ordinary crossbows, but waist-drawn crossbows that could penetrate armor.
Dozens of crossbowmen pulled the trigger, and the bowstrings bounced back and forth in the air, making an uncomfortable dull sound. The next moment, the heavy crossbow arrows shot by the waist-drawn crossbows suddenly penetrated the ranks of the Wei army cavalry.
The dozen or so riders in front were unable to dodge and were shot by the waist-drawn crossbows.
At this distance, the power of heavy crossbow arrows was extremely amazing. Not only could ordinary heavy armor not block it, but even the horses were pierced by crossbow arrows. Niu Jin was lucky, and there was a soldier in front of him who blocked the attack for him. The sharp crossbow arrow pierced through his chest, and the arrowhead brought out blood, flesh, and tendons, which was chilling.
This wave of powerful crossbow fire might not have killed or injured many people, but it directly extinguished the momentum of Niu Jin and his followers!
Liao Hua seized the opportunity, advanced with a horse spear, and led the infantry and cavalry to surround and kill Niu Jin. Niu Jin wanted to use the speed of the horse to escape, but was blocked by dozens of Han soldiers who came with spears, and missed the chance to escape.
"Qiang!"
Niu Jin blocked Liao Hua's attack with his spear, and then spun the spear back to stab, and Liao Hua barely dodged it.
Although Liao Hua switched from civil to military, due to the turbulent times and his many years of military service, he had already learned martial arts, but his skills were not strong.
"on!"
In order to capture and kill Niu Jin, Liao Hua called on the infantry and cavalry to attack together.
Liao Hua had many soldiers under his command, including both infantry and cavalry, and they coordinated well. In the fight between the cavalry and the siege of the infantry, a large number of Wei cavalry were stabbed off their horses.
Two fists were no match for four hands, and Niu Jin's leg was stabbed by a spear from the infantry. Before he could scream in pain, another spear pierced under his ribs, making him scream even louder.
Niu Jingai knew that he could not kill his way out, so he became more ruthless, wanting to take more people away to be buried with him.
Liao Hua found the right moment and took advantage of the moment when Niu Jin was entangled by the cavalry to thrust his spear forward. The sharp tip of the spear pierced Niu Jin's abdomen, piercing through his armor and abdomen. The pain in his abdomen was unbearable.
Niu Jin's face twisted and he let out a terrifying scream. He wanted to say something but couldn't utter a word. He fell off his horse unwillingly.
Niu Jin finally looked deeply at the blue sky, as if regretting why he despised Zhuge Liang!
After Liao Hua led his troops to defeat Niu Jin's cavalry, he ordered, "Cut off Niu Jin's head and report it to the prime minister. The cavalry soldiers should spread out to gather the defeated soldiers."
"promise!"
Not to mention that Liao Hua eventually killed Niu Jin by means of encirclement and killing. Zhao Yun, who led the ambush troops, rushed out from the reed marsh and led the cavalry to run rampant and defeated the Wei cavalry. When he learned of Jia Si's troops, he joined forces with Feng Xi and Zhang Liang to attack.
In order to pursue the Han army, Jia Si's soldiers had long been scattered and there was no neat formation. After learning that the Han had an ambush, Jia Si was terrified and urgently raised the flag to stop the Han cavalry from charging.
Unfortunately, the cavalrymen move so fast, how could they miss the opportunity to break through the formation?
Zhao Yun was good at using cavalry. When he saw Jia Si's move, he first sent Zhang Liang to lead the cavalry from the right wing to attract Jia Si's attention.
Seeing Zhang Liang trying to attack the right wing, Jia Si did as Zhao Yun expected and ordered the remaining thousand or so infantrymen around to be alert to Zhang Liang's troops, and the left wing was immediately exposed.
When Zhao Yun discovered the problem on the left wing, he immediately led his cavalry to attack. The cavalry trampled the ground like a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey, making the prey tremble with fear.
In an instant, the Han cavalry rushed towards the Wei army with overwhelming force.
Seeing the huge momentum of the iron cavalry, the Wei soldiers on the periphery, who had already been timid, did not wait for the Han cavalry to charge. Many of them fled in the face of the enemy, leaving the inner infantry to face the powerful Han cavalry.
In the blink of an eye, the cavalry rushed in in dense columns, and the armored cavalry charged with long spears, directly prying open the Wei army's square formation, and the Wei army's infantry collapsed and fled on the spot. Jia Siben's army formation that wanted to resist stubbornly was directly broken.
Jia Si's eyes were tearing up when he saw this scene. The pursuit ended in defeat so quickly that he couldn't believe that the Han cavalry could break his formation so quickly.
"General, our army has been defeated. We should leave as soon as possible!"
The soldiers protected Jia Si and shouted.
Jia Si reacted without hesitation and wanted to lead his troops to escape back to the Wei camp. Unfortunately, Zhao Yun had already targeted Jia Si and ordered his cavalry to lead a team to kill him.
At this moment, Jia Si was dealing with the siege of the Han cavalry, using his horse lance to block the incoming spears, and then using the lance to counterattack the Han cavalry. One had to admit that Jia Si's martial arts skills were not bad, and the Han cavalry on both sides could not stop him and his troops.
However, just when Jia Si was about to break out, Zhao Yun seemed to see Jia Si's weakness and rode out with a bow in hand.
A gust of wind passed by, and Jia Si suddenly felt a pain in his abdomen. He subconsciously looked down, only to see a heavy arrow that had penetrated his armor and embedded into his internal organs.
Jia Si endured the pain and looked in the direction of the arrow, but saw Zhao Yun standing on his horse with a bow in his hand, staring at him with cold eyes.
Jia Si grinned at Zhao Yun, as if mocking that Zhao Yun's arrow could not take his life.
When Zhao Yun saw Jia Si like this, he took three arrows in a row, bent his bow, and shot them in a row.
Seeing Zhao Yun draw his bow and draw his arrow, Jia Si was frightened and hurriedly rode away, but the continuous arrow technique caught him off guard. He dodged two arrows, but the third long arrow accurately shot through his throat, and hot blood gushed out. After losing his strength to support himself, Jia Si fell off his horse and died on the spot!
I don't know whether he regretted competing with Niu Jin for credit at the last moment, or provoked Zhao Yun before the conflict.
Jia Si was killed in the battle, and his troops were left without a leader, so the infantry and cavalry under his command became a mob. Zhao Yun led his cavalry to charge and the Wei army was defeated and fled.
Zhao Yun, Zhang Liang, Feng Xi and Liao Hua fought back, and the Han soldiers drove the defeated army to attack Fei Yao's troops. Fei Yao's troops did not disperse, but he did not expect the Han army to fight back. In the fierce battle, Fei Yao's troops suffered heavy casualties, but fortunately they were rescued by Sima Yi who learned that they were ambushed.
Zhuge Liang and Wen Pin would not miss the opportunity and led their troops to launch a counterattack against Sima Yi and Zhang He. As it was approaching dusk, the Han and Wei armies stopped fighting shortly after the battle.
