Chapter 759 This Is Your Method of Retreating?
The eight thousand old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers and horses that were originally organized by Man Pet and used to guard the peace of the public are now divided into two approvals by Sima Yi.
A group of 4,000 people, marching in front, to prevent Zhao Yun and Zhang Ren from leading cavalry to intercept on the road ahead. If you encounter the Han cavalry, you will use these 4,000 people to attack the Han army, so that the main army can successfully get out of trouble.
The other group was sent to the rear by Sima Yi to attack the Han army camp, so that the army could successfully retreat out of the camp.
"Attack me, and those who dare to retreat will die!"
A Wei general led more than 1,000 elites, drove 4,000 old, weak, sick and crippled people, and let them attack the Han army camp.
These 4,000 soldiers and horses are basically old, weak, sick and disabled, and some of them are veterans who have retired from the battlefield before, either old or seriously injured and disabled.
Others were selected from among the common people, either the elderly or the children who were still minors.
It is not uncommon for these people to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but it must also be in a situation where the mountains and rivers are exhausted and there are really no soldiers and horses available.
At present, there are still more than 26,000 elites in the Wei army, and it is a little wrong to let them go into battle to kill the enemy.
Many people understood that Sima Yi was going to send them to death, and they didn't want to move forward at all, and begged General Wei bitterly: "General, I don't want to die, you let us go!" ”
"I still have an old mother to take care of at home, and I can't die."
"Please let me go!"
General Wei didn't have a trace of mercy, and said coldly: "Give me an attack, and those who dare to retreat will die!" Archers prepare, those who retreat, stop and shoot me! ”
The 1,000 soldiers and horses led by General Wei, most of them were archers, and they were behind the old and weak soldiers, and after listening to General Wei's words, they bent their bows and arrows one after another, ready to shoot.
"Go, go! If you don't leave, you will release the arrows! ”
General Wei was riding on a war horse, holding a horsewhip in his hand, and kept urging beside him.
Under duress, those old and weak soldiers could only grit their teeth and move forward.
It's just that in the back, there are still some people who are unwilling to die, and they go slowly.
"If you dare to disobey the order, shoot me!" Seeing this, General Wei was furious and ordered the archers to release their arrows.
"General, real shot?"
The archers couldn't bear it, but these people were their own people.
Wei Jiang glared at him and said coldly: "You don't shoot? Then you go and attack the Shu army for me! ”
Seeing this, the archer couldn't help but close his eyes and loosen the tight bowstring in his hand.
One arrow after another, they shot at the old and weak soldiers who were marching slowly in the rear.
Wei Jiang snorted coldly: "Run for me, otherwise these people will be your fate!" ”
"Kill!"
Seeing this, the rest of the old and weak soldiers couldn't help but speed up their pace, gritted their teeth, closed their eyes and killed the Han army camp.
The Han army also got up early and had breakfast, and was about to lead their troops to kill the Wei army camp to prevent the Wei army from retreating, but they didn't want the Wei army to attack instead.
The Wei army came suddenly, and the Han army was a little caught off guard, but the attacking troops of the Wei army were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and a wave of offensive was quickly repelled by the Han army.
General Wei, who led the army to coerce the old and weak soldiers to attack, saw that the two armies had already clashed, and hurriedly led a thousand soldiers and horses under his command to retreat.
Zhuge Liang was packing up in the big tent of the Chinese army, and as soon as he heard the shouting of killing, a soldier ran in and reported to Zhuge Liang: "Da Sima, the Wei army has been killed!" ”
Zhuge Liang was shocked when he heard this: "The Wei army came to attack?" How many soldiers and horses came? ”
The soldier replied: "There are less than 5,000 soldiers and horses, and they are all old and weak soldiers, and at present their offensive has been repulsed, and General Huo is leading the army to counterattack." ”
"Go out and have a look!" As soon as he heard that the invading enemies were all old and weak soldiers, Zhuge Liang understood Sima Yi's intentions and hurriedly walked out of the camp to observe the situation.
Outside the camp tent, Zhuge Liang saw the battle at the gate of the camp, and under Huo Jun's counterattack, four thousand Wei soldiers were killed and retreated.
Chen Zhi walked over and said to Zhuge Liang: "Great Sima, although we are defenseless, but the rabble sent by Sima Yi is not to worry, after a while, we will be able to defeat them." ”
Zhuge Liang sighed and said in a deep voice: "This Sima Yi, in order to retreat, actually took the lives of his soldiers in vain and sent these old, weak and disabled people to send them to death. ”
Chen Zhi's face changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly climbed the arrow tower on the side, looked at the Wei army camp, and immediately shouted at Zhuge Liang: "Oh no, the Wei army is already retreating, and when the Wei army that repels this pot attack, I'm afraid that the Wei army will be gone!" ”
"Something to be expected!" Zhuge Liang waved his hand and said to a soldier: "Tell General Huo Jun that those Wei troops are all pitiful people, don't kill too much, and surrender them." ”
"No!"
In front of the Han army camp, the 4,000 Wei army had been defeated and retreated by Huo Jun, and was soon surrounded by the Han army.
Huo Jun had already received Zhuge Liang's order, urged the horse out, looked at Wei Jun and shouted: "You and the others are all poor people, Sima Yi wasted the lives of Gu Er and others, Da Sima is merciful, as long as you surrender, you can avoid death!" ”
"I'm waiting for my will, I'm waiting for my will!"
As soon as Wei Jun heard this, he put down his weapons one after another.
"Leave five hundred people to watch them, and the rest of the men and horses will follow me to pursue Sima Yi!"
Seeing that the Wei army surrendered, Huo Jun left 500 men and horses to guard the Wei army, and the rest of the men and horses quickly pursued Sima Yi.
It's a pity that when the soldiers and horses arrived at the Wei army camp, the Wei army had all retreated, and the frosted official road was wet again, and it was wet by Sima Yi with a waterwheel.
"Damn!" Looking at the official road that was being scolded by Sima Yi, Huo Jun hammered his fist on the saddle.
The road was destroyed, and it was already impossible to march on such a muddy road to catch up with Sima Yi.
On the official road ahead, Sima Yi led his troops on the march.
At this moment, he rode a horse from the rear and rode to Sima Yi's side: "Sima Zhongda, this is your method of retreating?" My 4,000 soldiers and horses were buried by you? ”
Sima Yi glanced at the full favor who chased after him lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Didn't I say before that elite soldiers have the usage of elite soldiers, and rabble have the usage of rabble." If it was on the battlefield, these people would be useless, but now, I used these people to successfully make the main force retreat, is there anything wrong? ”
Man Chong gritted his teeth and said: "But they are all my Great Wei soldiers and horses, even if they are a rabble, they can't be sacrificed like this, doesn't this make the soldiers chill?" ”
Sima Yi sighed and said, "What can I do about chilling?" Could it be that we have been confronting Zhuge Liang here? And it wasn't just the 4,000 who died.
And Zhuge Liang is not a person who is easy to kill, he will definitely make them surrender, maybe they are in Zhuge Liang's hands, and they are better off than on our side.
Manchu Shi was also a decisive person at the beginning, why is he indecisive today? ”
