"Quick, form up to meet the enemy, form up to meet the enemy." Qin Ji was startled into a cold sweat and immediately ordered.
However, the Wei army was crowded inside and outside the north gate in order to fight for property. They were already in a mess and out of formation. How could they set up a good formation in a hurry.
Qin Ji shouted repeatedly, but received little response, so he had to lead hundreds of undisturbed sergeants around him to step forward to block the Han army.
But who is Zhao Yun? He finally figured out this plan to survive in death, how could he not try his best and move forward bravely.
But I saw a long spear thrust out like a dragon exploring the sea, setting off waves of blood and taking away countless heads.
Although Zhao Yun's physical strength has declined due to old age at this time, his marksmanship is more exquisite than when he was a boy. He can pick, stab, block, stab and other moves with ease and smoothness.
Therefore, even though Zhao Yun's energy was not at its peak, the force of each move was calculated just right and never wasted. Therefore, during the middle of the night, Zhao Yun's momentum did not weaken, but showed signs of getting stronger with each killing.
"The thief will look at the gun!"
Unknowingly, Zhao Yun had already reached Qin Ji. When he saw that this man looked like a general, he immediately stabbed Qin Ji in front of him.
Qin Ji saw the cold air seeping from the blood-red tip of the spear, and quickly moved the long knife in his hand to chop and slice. Although it was just a simple straight thrust, he already felt that it was impossible to resist this move, so he had to dance the knife very fast. Desire to block the spear in front of him.
Unexpectedly, this spear in Zhao Yun's hands was like a poisonous snake spitting out messages. It was not only accurate, but also tricky. Even though Qin Ji had reacted in time to cover his whole body with a big knife, Zhao Yun changed his move slightly and Qin Ji was stabbed in the right arm.
Qin Ji endured the severe pain and did not let the sword fall from his hand. Knowing that he was no match for Zhao Yun, he wanted to turn the horse's head and retreat. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yun stabbed him directly in the throat again.
At this time, Qin Ji had no time to react and was unable to block, so he closed his eyes and waited for death. When he saw Zhao Yun's spearhead was about to pierce his throat, a guard next to him flew forward and knocked him off his horse to block this killing move. .
Since there was someone who wanted to be the scapegoat, Zhao Yun helped him. He sent his spear forward to kill the guard, and then threw him to the ground with a strong thrust.
Qin Ji, who was not far away from the ground, was surprised and happy. Seeing that he had escaped with his life, he quickly rolled back a few times without caring about the general's face, got up and ran away, away from Zhao Yun, the god of death.
Although he escaped alive, his bodyguards were in dire straits. They were all killed by Zhao Yun in an instant, and a banner with the Chinese character "Qin" was also chopped down by a Han military captain.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yun hurriedly asked the troops to shout that the traitor general was dead, that the Wei army was defeated, and that they should kneel down and surrender to disturb the morale of the Wei army.
The Wei soldiers who were far away did not know the specific situation. They only saw their commander's flag falling into the hands of the Han army. They thought that the general Qin Ji had been killed as the Han army said, and immediately lost all intention to fight and fled in all directions.
Qin Ji shouted repeatedly, but failed to stop his defeat, so he had to sigh and fled away with the hundreds of soldiers gathered.
Zhao Yun did not lead his troops in pursuit and drove a group of defeated soldiers towards the west gate. The morale of the Wei army at Ximen had also been greatly reduced. Seeing the Han army coming to kill them, they no longer resisted and fled for their lives.
The Han army immediately dispatched its entire army and went out of camp to pursue and kill them. They killed all the Wei soldiers until they cried for their fathers and mothers and suffered heavy casualties. They did not withdraw their troops until they had chased them several miles away and returned to the camp.
Zhao Yun roughly estimated that he killed no less than 2,000 Wei soldiers in this battle. At least half of the Wei army that came in suddenly was destroyed. With such heavy casualties, it is expected that this Wei army will not invade again in a short time.
So Zhao Yun ordered all the troops to seize the time to collect military supplies and prepare to retreat south along the Baoxian Road. He also ordered people to prepare fire starters around the camp.
Half an hour later, when the military supplies were collected, Zhao Yun ordered General Yi Pian to withdraw first with most of the sergeants and wounded soldiers. He only led a thousand men and horses to cut off the rear. When they were far away, Zhao Yun ordered his men to shoot three loud arrows to signal Deng Zhi.
The fighting in the front camp is still fierce. The two armies have fought with all their might. A large number of corpses have fallen inside and outside the village wall. Although the majority are from the Wei army, there are also many from the Han army.
During this period, the Wei army invaded the Han army's camp several times but was driven out by Deng Zhi's men. Even so, there were more and more shabby areas in the camp and the entire camp wall was crumbling. Deng Zhi knew that he could hold off the Wei army for at most one or two. The wave is on the offensive.
"Whoosh, whoosh,
call out"
Just as Deng Zhi was dispatching his last reserve team, he suddenly heard the sound of arrows piercing the air behind him. This was the retreat signal he had agreed with Zhao Yun. Deng Zhi was so surprised that he quickly sent an order to withdraw his troops.
How to retreat Deng Zhi had already made arrangements with the generals and other ministries. Each ministry received the military order to light the wall in front of them and the blocking fortifications on the road, and then retreated in turn.
These sergeants are also well-trained tiger infantry, and they can keep the team in order and retreat well even in such an unfavorable situation.
Blocked by the fire, the Wei army was unable to pursue them and had to watch the Han army leave. Cao Zhen wasn't too surprised when he saw this. He just asked the sergeant to seize the time to put out the fire. What he was most worried about at the moment was Jigu.
Not long ago, the cheers of the Han army seemed to be heard in Jigu, but from a distance, the shouts were loud again on the battlefield in front of them, and Cao Zhen and others could not hear them clearly.
"Could it be that the Jigu Shu army was cheering for repelling Qin Ji's offensive?" Cao Zhen thought to himself: "Well, the Shu stronghold here has finally been breached. As long as we chase it, we can know the situation, even if there is something unexpected there. If it happens, tonight’s victory will not change again.”
Relying on the fire blocking, Deng Zhi successfully led nearly 4,000 soldiers to retreat to Jigu to meet Zhao Yun. Deng Zhi asked the troops to leave first, while he stayed to talk to Zhao Yun.
"Old general, fortunately you have fulfilled your duty and finally withdrew all the troops. However, all the military resources of the front camp were burned down. The loss is not small." Deng Zhi rode up to Zhao Yun and said with his hands.
Zhao Yun nodded and said with a smile: "As long as the army is still there, a few military supplies are nothing. What's more, most of the military supplies are stored here in Jigu and have been taken away first, so the loss is not big."
"What the old general said is absolutely true." Deng Zhi also felt better.
Zhao Yun said: "Time is running out, so I won't say more. Bo Miao quickly led his troops back to Hanzhong, and I stayed here to block Cao Zhen."
"Yes." Deng Zhi didn't hesitate, and immediately said goodbye with fists clasped in his hands, and then patted his horse to catch up with the army.
When the Wei army put out the fire in the front camp and it was getting slightly brighter, Cao Zhen immediately ordered the army to enter Baoxie Road to pursue the Han army. After a while, the scout reported that Jigu was still guarded by Han troops.
"How many people are there? Where did Qin Ji and the others go?" Cao Zhen asked hurriedly.
The scout replied: "General Qin and the others have disappeared. The camp gate of Shu Village is wide open, and a white-robed veteran is guarding the door alone. Seeing this, we dare not go too far and can only vaguely see the inside of Shu Village. It seemed deserted."
"Oh? Is it like this?" Cao Zhen said in shock: "I will go and see for myself what tricks the Shu thieves are playing."
After that, he urged the troops to speed up their pace. Soon, the Wei army arrived in front of Jigu Village. Cao Zhen saw it from hundreds of steps away. He saw that the gate of the camp opposite was wide open, and only a veteran was stroking his beard in front of the gate and looking at them coldly.
"It's Zhao Yun!" Cao Zhen exclaimed after seeing the veteran's face clearly.
He squinted his eyes and looked into the stronghold again, and saw that there were no people inside, and no one was there. When he was feeling strange, he suddenly remembered something and burst out laughing.
The deputy general on the side asked puzzledly: "Why is the general laughing?"
"I am laughing at how old Zhao Yun is. He still uses old tactics to scare our army. There is nothing we can do about it!" Cao Zhen said.
The lieutenant general was still confused. When Cao Zhen saw this, he explained: "You have never participated in the Battle of Hanzhong, so you don't know. About nine years ago, a certain person accompanied Emperor Taizu to Hanzhong to fight against Liu Bei. After the battle of Dingjun Mountain... ..”
