Why was the Chu army blocking the road at Luliang Mountain Pass?
Zhang Chunhua's beautiful face changed in surprise, and he looked at Jia Kui with an unbelievable look. (Literature Hall)
Jia Kui's face was also full of shock and confusion, and he was unable to explain what happened in front of him.
Sima Yi's trick to surrender was deep enough, but Yan Liang saw through it. However, Jia Kui never expected that Sima Yi's subsequent move would also be seen through by Yan Liang.
The Chu cavalry galloping in front of them were clearly prepared and heading towards the Luliang Pass to intercept their escape. Yan Liang's resourcefulness was truly unbelievable.
"My dear, I don't know. I didn't expect him to see through your majesty's two-fold scheme. I..." Jia Kui was horrified. He was so shocked that he didn't know how to explain the situation in front of him.
"Prime Minister Jia, what should we do?" Zhang Chunhua asked in a trembling voice.
Jia Kui suddenly woke up a little. Seeing the Chu cavalry coming from all over the mountains and plains, he said anxiously: "At this point, we have no choice but to fight our way out. I think your majesty will definitely lead his army to fight the enemy fiercely. Waiting to help us, as long as we can meet up with His Majesty, there is still a glimmer of hope."
In such a field, this is the only way, and this is the only hope of escape.
However, this hope was based on Sima Yi leaving troops to support them. With less than a thousand troops in their hands, how could they alone overcome the interception of the Chu army's cavalry.
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and rush." Zhang Chunhua shouted.
Jia Kui roused himself, raised his sword, commanded the hundreds of Jin troops, wrapped Zhang Chunhua's mother and son in them, and drove away against the Chu army's cavalry.
The iron cavalry was rolling, and more than a thousand dragon cavalry guards were rolling in like a violent storm.
"kill!"
"kill!"
The sky-shaking killing sound was like a sharp blade, tearing the sky apart.
The two armies collided instantly.
The man was on his back, blood was flying, and the fierce cry made the crows circling overhead scream.
If it were an ordinary infantry, faced with the same number of cavalry attacks, they would have been defeated long ago. But this group of Jin troops commanded by Jia Kui actually took the charge alive and did not collapse in a single charge.
These hundreds of Jin troops were Sima Yi's imperial guards, the best among the best. They were all brave and unstoppable.
The combat effectiveness and willpower of such elite men are far superior to those of the ordinary Jin army.
It was this desperate fighting spirit that enabled them to block the frontal impact of the Chu army's cavalry, and the two sides fell into a melee.
When the fighting sounds here, in the northwest, Deng Ai leads the main force of the dragon cavalry, killing more than 10,000 Jin troops.
The dragoon guards are the elite of the cavalry, well-equipped, and all the knights are fierce warriors. This group suddenly attacked, and how could these Jin troops, who were intent on escaping, resist them.
Deng Ai rode his horse like the wind and wielded his cavalry like the tide. From south to north, he killed the Jin army until ghosts cried like ghosts and wolves howled, and blood flowed like rivers.
If Sima Yi led his more than a thousand elite imperial guards to fight to the death, there might still be hope for a fight with the Chu army. But now that Sima Yi was the first to flee, even the imperial flag had fallen, so the Jin army was left behind as a human shield. , how could they withstand the Chu army's charge?
In half an hour, the entire Luliang Pass line was littered with corpses, it was too horrible to see.
Although Deng Ai didn't know where Sima Yi was, he knew that the wolf would definitely run away in the direction of Luliang Mountain, so he led his army to pursue him all the way.
The further north they went, the more rugged the terrain began to become, and the Chu army's pursuit had to slow down again and again.
However, Deng Ai still pursued him. You must know that it was a miraculous achievement in capturing and killing Sima Yi and destroying the Jin Dynasty. How could he give up so easily?
Sima Yi suffered a lot. He never expected that the Chu army's pursuers would be so crazy. They chased him for more than ten miles and even pursued him into the Luliang Mountains, but they still refused to let him go.
Seeing the dust and mist behind him rising into the sky, making it difficult for the enemy cavalry to shake off, Sima Yi, who was panting like an ox, rolled his eyes and suddenly had an idea.
"Quickly, take off all the clothes, armor, flags and drums, and pile them up in the middle of the road to stop the Chu army from pursuing." Sima Yi shouted loudly.
The road here has narrowed a lot. If you use armor, you can quickly block the road. In this way, the Chu army, which is dominated by cavalry, has no choice but to give up the pursuit.
After the order was passed, thousands of imperial sergeants on the left and right hurriedly took off their clothes and armor, and in a moment, most of the mountain road was blocked.
When Wang Ji saw this, he shouted: "Your Majesty, if we block the road, we can indeed delay the Chu army's pursuit, but we will also block the thousands of soldiers behind, making it impossible for them to escape."
After hearing Wang Jizhi's advice, Sima Yi suddenly trembled.
He stood on his horse and looked from a distance, but saw countless soldiers of his own in the south direction, like rats crossing the street, rushing towards this side in terror, while the Chu army followed behind them, harvesting heads along the way.
If he blocks it like this, he is just waiting to cut off the livelihood of his own soldiers and push them into the tiger's mouth of the Chu army.
Sima Yi only hesitated for a moment, and then said decisively: "Now that things have come to this, for the sake of the overall situation, I have to sacrifice. Do you want me to die here?"
Wang Ji's figure suddenly trembled. When Sima Yi asked this question, he had nothing to say.
In desperation, Wang Ji could only swallow his saliva, lowered his head silently, and did not dare to say anything more.
"Quickly, take off your armor and block the road for me." Sima Yi shouted again.
Thousands of soldiers and horses took off their armor. In a short time, a hill was built on the road, almost blocking the road.
Those later Jin soldiers were blocked by the hill. They were terrified, crawling desperately, howling desperately, begging their emperor not to fall down.
Sima Yi glanced at him and turned around without hesitation.
While the Jin army was howling in despair, the Chu army was already pursuing them like the wind. The road ahead was blocked and there were pursuers behind them, so they fell into a situation of massacre.
In a short time, the spurting blood soaked the mountain road into a quagmire, and the strands of blood gathered into streams, flowing south along the mountain road.
After half an hour of massacre, the elite dragon cavalry guards of the Chu army killed five thousand Jin troops. The corpses of these five thousand enemies, together with the mountains of armor, would block the road to the north.
Deng Ai, who was soaked in blood, saw such a situation and knew that it would be difficult to pursue him any longer. He was still not satisfied with the killing, so he naturally felt a little regretful that he did not capture and kill Sima Yi with his own hands.
"General, there is another Jin army going south, and the resistance is very tenacious." A horseman galloped to report.
Deng Ai suddenly became more energetic, raised his gun and shouted: "Go back with me and kill all the stubborn enemies."
After receiving the order, Deng Ai led his army back and headed towards the Luliang Pass.
Running wildly all the way, not long after he was stationed on the horse slope, he saw a kind of Jin army in the northeast, stubbornly resisting the encirclement and killing of more than a thousand cavalry of his own army.
Although the number of Jin troops along that route was less than a thousand, their fighting spirit and formation were quite neat. At a glance, it was obvious that they were the elite of the Jin army.
"There is also a Jin army guard here. Could it be that Sima Yi is among them?" This thought flashed through Deng Ai's mind, and the excitement in his chest suddenly ignited again.
"Kill--" Deng Ai didn't have too many words and rushed downhill with his horse and spear dancing.
Behind them, more than 5,000 bloody dragon-riding guards waved their swords and guns, carrying unfulfilled killing intent, and rushed over the mountains and plains like a tide.
The overwhelming momentum and the overwhelming force of landslides and rocks instantly dampened the Jin army's stubborn will to resist.
Jia Kui looked at the enemy troops coming from afar, and his strong will was almost broken.
With the few troops and horses at hand, he stubbornly resisted the encirclement and attack by the Chu army's cavalry. It was already difficult to resist. Now several times the enemy's cavalry came again, even though he had three heads and six arms, he could not recover.
At the time of the shock, Deng Ai had already sent his troops to kill him.
That supreme impact, that turbulent momentum, came with the force of a dive. Not to mention the eight hundred Jin army guards, even if all of Sima Yi's elite guards were here, how could they withstand it.
The sound of screams rose into the sky.
The Chu army was like a sharp arrow, invincible along the way, tearing the Jin army's formation from the middle.
Deng Ai was like the sharpest arrow above the sharp arrows. The silver spear in his hand blossomed left and right, leaving no life behind wherever the spear's shadow passed.
Faced with such an impetus, Jia Kui had no choice but to muster up his courage and face him with his sword.
He knew very well that fighting an enemy with foot and cavalry relied on a dense formation. Once the formation was broken, even if his soldiers were all ten men, they would be easily crushed by the Chu cavalry.
At the moment of life and death, Jia Kui knew that the enemy general was extremely skilled in martial arts, so he had no choice but to block it with all his strength.
In the rebellious army, Deng Ai rode his horse like the wind, walking on a bloody road, and collided head-on with Jia Kui.
Jia Kui shouted loudly, used all his strength, and slashed at Deng Ai with his sword.
Deng Ai had no fear. In his eyes, the scholar-like enemy general in front of him was nothing more than a native chicken disintegrating.
Amidst the roaring sound, Deng Ai's silver spear was like lightning, rolling up the blood mist in the sky and stabbing out in a spiral.
The power of this spear has been deeply influenced by Wen Chou's true biography. It is so powerful that it is comparable to the best marksmanship in the world.
Huh~~
Amidst the shocking sound of metal biting, Deng Ai passed by Jia Kui like a meteor.
Jia Kui's eyes were frozen in a horrified moment, because before he could see clearly the opponent's gun style, his left chest had already been pierced.
Jia Kui, whose blood was gushing like a fountain, groaned and fell to the ground with a "pop" sound.
Deng Ai killed Jia Kui with one move, but without blinking, he continued to tear apart the Jin army with his horse.
Behind him, more dragon cavalry guards followed, and in the blink of an eye, the body of Jia Kui who had fallen to the ground was trampled into a ball of bloody flesh.
The Jin army's last resistance collapsed.
Zhang Chunhua, who was surrounded by soldiers, was as pale as a sheet at the moment, feeling frightened and disappointed.
She originally thought that she would encounter Sima Yi's support, but after a long hard battle, there was no trace of Sima Yi. It was obvious that her husband had abandoned their mother and son and fled alone.
The abandonment of her husband and the siege of the Chu army made Zhang Chunhua's fragile spirit even worse.
And when she saw with her own eyes that Jia Kui was beheaded from his horse, the little hope she had left was wiped out.
At this moment, Zhang Chunhua's spirit completely collapsed.
