Chapter 623 Die in the right place, happy and happy
Two thousand cavalry and three thousand war horses, like a sharp sword hidden in the sheath, finally showed its sharpness.
They had been hiding behind the army, and the infantry soldiers fell on the battlefield one after another, making room for them to charge. At this moment, they urged the war horses to accelerate along the empty military camp, but it seemed that they could feel it
The souls of the comrades are by my side.
They were sad and angry.
They are silent.
No one yelled, and even the horses did not neigh. They did not raise fires. Although the fire on the battlefield was incomparable to the sun during the day, it was enough to let them see the direction clearly.
All that is enough.
It is originally a life of death. Death is a deserving result, and not dying is a gift from God.
Leave everything to God.
Two thousand knights urged the horses to move quickly, and three thousand war horses slowly walked in unison. The chaotic sound of horse hooves turned into neat roars, turning into a thunder, and rushed towards the left wing of the Shu Han army along the west bank of the Lishui River.
Zhuge Liang did not ignore this Wei cavalry. On the contrary, he always kept a high attention to this Wei cavalry. He prepared three thousand people on the east bank of the Lishui River, resisted horses in front of the formation, and dug trenches, enough to block Wei.
The first wave of the national cavalry. On the west bank of the Lishui River, he also prepared two square formations for the Wei cavalry, with a total of 5,000 people.
If it was during the day, as soon as the Wei cavalry was launched, he would see the changes in the situation and react in time. Unfortunately, it was night now, and his eyes were blurred and he could not see the specific situation clearly. It was because of this that he was just now.
Suspecting that the cavalry of Wei State went to other places, such as Longguan and Weishui. In his opinion, the cavalry could not charge at night, as long as a war horse fell, it could lead to immeasurable losses. Even Cao Zhi kept the cavalry
Here, as the last blow, you have to wait until dawn to have a chance to take action.
There are still two or three hours before dawn, and Cao Zhi obviously cannot support that time.
Zhuge Liang's thinking was meticulous, but he forgot the most basic fact: whether it is Cao Zhi or Xiahou Ba, they are all crazy people.
No matter how smart a normal person is, he cannot accurately grasp the madman's thinking. Zhuge Liang is smart, but he cannot break his thinking habits. He cannot make such a crazy decision, and of course he does not believe that Cao Zhi will do this.
Although Cao Zhi's actions have always been crazy.
This is completely a thinking inertia and has nothing to do with whether it is smart or not. On the contrary, the smarter a person is, the more he believes in his correctness. The stronger the thinking inertia. It is precisely because Zhuge Liang is smart enough to calculate every possible advantage and interest very clearly
, so he didn't believe Cao Zhi would do this.
The dark night turned him into half-blind, and years of work at the desk seriously hurt his body. Not only did he have poor eyesight, but his hearing was not much better.
When Xiang Lang, who was more than ten years older than him, could clearly hear the sound of horse hooves, he had not yet reacted.
"Prime Minister, Cavalry--" Yang Yi heard the vibration caused by the cavalry charge and screamed in shock.
Zhuge Liang's face turned pale. He turned to the left wing and finally saw the shadow rushing out of the darkness, but he didn't have time to react. The vibration caused by the cavalry charge made the feather fan in his hand tremble.
In an instant, he finally understood Cao Zhi's intention. Cao Zhi's cavalry was never prepared for him, but for Jiang Wei two hundred miles away, from beginning to end. Cao Zhi had only one goal: to support Zhang He into Guanzhong.
Cao Zhi did not hesitate to give his life.
Cao Zhi was crazy. Xiahou Ba was crazy, and they did everything they could to regain Guanzhong.
Because of madness, they found a trace of possibility from the impossible. This trace of possibility was given to Cao Zhi by himself. If he hadn't transferred the left army to the front to support the central army and surrounded Cao Zhi, these cavalry would have no chance to rush forward.
Two formations.
Now, the left army's position is empty and cannot stop the Wei army's cavalry that is charging rapidly. The army behind thinks that the left army is blocking in front and has no preparation at all. Facing the Wei army's cavalry that suddenly emerges, it is good that they don't collapse without collapse.
There is no time to intercept it.
A trace of depression flashed through Zhuge Liang's eyes, and he immediately returned to his calmness and sighed: "Cao Zijian thought that these people could lead Zhang He into the pass? He was too whimsical."
Xiang Lang looked at Zhuge Liang in surprise, wondering how Zhuge Liang could still be so calm at this time. The matter was hasty, and the two thousand cavalrymen were about to contact the rear army. He did not promptly notify the rear army to be on guard and stop the Wei army as much as possible.
, Why are you still in the mood to feel sorry for Cao Zhi?
"Send the order to surround Cao Zhi." Zhuge Liang waved his hand and issued an order calmly: "Immediately send a quick horse to notify Jiang Wei, be careful of the way out."
The messengers left one after another.
The Wei army's cavalry came very fast and secretly. They almost passed by the left army of Shu Han army who were rushing forward. The Shu Han army soldiers who were running were frightened by the sound of horse hooves looked at the speeding past dozens of steps away.
The cavalry was inexplicably shocked and subconsciously ran to the right and almost collided with the central army. At this time, no one would think that they should rush towards the Wei army's cavalry. Even if they shoot a few arrows with their crossbows in their hands, they might cause trouble to the Wei army.
An immeasurable blow.
The Wei army came too fast and did not give the Shu Han army much time to leave. It swept over like a gust of wind and headed straight for the gap about twenty steps wide between the last three Shu Han military formations.
Although these three reserve force formations did not rest, they were not prepared. There were nearly 20,000 main forces in front of them. After the bloody battle, the central army had not yet fought. The left and right armies were surrounding the border, and I think Cao Zhi was about to be killed.
Surrounding them, they will be awarded the title of head soon. Killing a king from Wei State is a great achievement. Unfortunately, they can only watch this time and have no chance to make meritorious service. At that time, they can only watch others eat meat, and they may not even be soup.
Have to drink.
Just when they were complaining, who would have thought that two or three thousand cavalry would rush out of the dark night? When someone felt the ground shaking of the cavalry's charge, Xiahou Ba had already rushed to them and whistled past them.
The galloping horses, with unstoppable power, knocked away the soldiers of the Shu Han army who reacted the fastest and rushed over to intercept them. The sharp swords danced into a ball of light and shadow, slashed on the armor of the Shu Han army, and cut out a series of sparks.
, making a terrifying friction sound. The spear stabbed the chest of the Shu Han army, pierced the strong breastplate, and lifted the screaming Shu Han army and threw it into the distance.
There was almost no suspense. Xiahou Ba easily passed through the back formation of the Shu Han army. If he wanted, he could even kill most of the Shu Han soldiers in the base of the square formation. Unfortunately, he had no time, so he could only lead the
The murderous cavalry rushed northward and disappeared into the darkness.
It was not until this moment that the two square formations of the rear army realized what had just happened. They were so scared that their hearts were beating like drums. While stepping up their defenses to prevent the Wei army from returning, they warned the central army.
Hearing the sound of the war drums of the rear army, Yang Yi and Xiang Lang looked at each other, only Zhuge Liang's face was calm, which was even easier than before, as if a burden on his heart had finally been put down.
"Prime Minister?" Yang Yi shouted tremblingly. He wondered if Zhuge Liang had not reacted yet, and he did not know that the Wei cavalry had broken through the rear formation.
"It's okay." Zhuge Liang waved his hand: "They can't run far, but they can only live for a few more days. Once they leave, we can safely surround Cao Zhi."
Yang Yi subconsciously said oh. Xiang Lang frowned, and looked at Zhuge Liang with unconcealed admiration. Things are over, and sorrow is useless. It is better to do what you are doing well. Of course, the truth is correct, but
When you are in the scene, the only one who can really do this is probably Zhuge Liang.
Although Cao Zhi was trapped in the formation, his mind was all in the sound of horse hooves in the distance. With that faint feeling, he estimated that Xiahou Ba was probably breaking the formation and creating this opportunity himself.
Ba successfully seized this opportunity and couldn't help feeling very relieved.
"Kill--" Cao Zhi pushed away the two personal guards in front of him and rushed towards the surrounding Shu Han army. He roared angrily, waved his sword, split a spear, and slid along the handle of the spear, with a knife.
He cut off the soldier's fingers, cut open his throat, and cut off his screams. Then he swung his knife at another Shu Han soldier.
Two spears stabbed over, Cao Zhi shouted loudly, swung his knife to knock the spear on the left, and with the power of rebound, the sword slashed the soldier on the right's neck.
With a muffled sound of "punch", he slashed the soldier's neck, and was also stabbed into the ribs by the spear in the soldier's hand. He groaned, reached out to hold the spear, pushed it away with force, and covered his ribs.
Staggered two steps.
"Your Highness!" The guards were shocked and rushed over. When the soldiers of Shu Han soldiers saw Cao Zhi fall, they were all ecstatic and rushed over.
Cao Zhi let out a long roar, rushed up again, waved his sword, slashed left and right, and killed two people in a row. At the same time, he was also hit by two combat knives, and then three spears stabbed them in no distinction.
Puzzled through his body.
"Hahaha..." Blood foam gushed out of Cao Zhi's mouth. He held one of the spears tightly, but his eyes were filled with comfort. "Ma Ge wrapped in a corpse, died as he died as he died as he died as he died as he died as he died as he died as he was, hahaha..." Before he finished speaking, he
He opened his eyes wide and rushed forward with force, while waving the sword in his hand.
The spear passed through his body, and the Shu Han soldier who had just been ecstatic for his contribution was so scared that he screamed. His arm was tightly grasped by Cao Zhi, and the bloody sword in Cao Zhi's hand was placed on him.
As long as Cao Zhi gently pulled his neck, he would sprinkle blood on the spot.
"How happy it is to die!" Cao Zhi suddenly smiled, let go of his hand, held the spear tightly, spewed a blood arrow from his back, and slowly fell down. The spear that pierced his body was pressed to the ground.
It supported his body, making him seem to be not falling down, but roaring with a spear.
...
In Wancheng, Cao Rui suddenly sat up and sweated coldly at the swaying lights.
When the time was on duty, Cao Yu, the king of Yan, heard the sound and rushed over from the side hall. Seeing Cao Rui's face frightened and sweating, he hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, are you dreaming again?"
"Peng Zu..." Before Cao Rui could speak, tears burst out from his eyes. He held Cao Yu's hand tightly and cried: "Uncle Wang... may be leaving."
