Almost all of the Wei soldiers put down their weapons and squatted on the ground, but there were still a group of people still standing, they were in the center of the line, and there were not many of them, only a few dozen. These people are besieging a circle of the city, protecting one person, and in the middle of the circle, it is Cao Zhen.

Liu Chan came to the battlefield from the rear army at this moment, he urged his horse forward, looked at Cao Zhen who was standing in the middle of the crowd and shouted: "Cao Zidan, they all fled, why didn't you leave?" ”

Cao Zhen was already exhausted at the moment, tired and out of breath, after listening to Liu Chan's words, he still mustered up the strength of his whole body, and shouted: "My Great Wei only has the great generals who died in battle, and there are no great generals who escaped." ”

"It's a bit of a backbone!" Liu Chan nodded when he heard this, looked at Cao Zhen and shouted: "Cao Zidan, I miss you as a hero, you kill yourself!" ”

"I said, Great Wei only has generals who died in battle!"

Cao Zhen roared and rushed in the direction of the Han army with his weapon. The soldiers behind him did not hesitate for a moment, and followed Cao Zhen to the pace of the charge.

"Okay, I'll fulfill you!" Zhang Fei let out a loud shout and rushed towards Cao Zhen with a long knife in his hand.

Although Zhang Fei is old, even Cao Zhen in his heyday is far from being Zhang Fei's opponent.

What's more, Cao Zhen has now become the end of the crossbow, tired and exhausted, one on the horse and the other under the horse.

Zhang Fei passed by Cao Zhen's side, a silver light flashed, and the long knife instantly cut Cao Zhen's throat.

The knife that killed Cao Zhen was not the Zhangba snake spear, nor was it the treasure knife given to Zhang Fei by Liu Chan, but the knife created by Zhang Fei himself, called the Xinting Hou Knife.

This knife was built by Zhang Fei when Liu Bei got Jingzhou, and it is one of the top ten famous knives in history.

This knife Zhang Fei regarded as a treasure, but he didn't use it much, and now he killed Cao Zhen with the Xinting Hou knife to show respect for Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen only felt a sharp pain in his throat, as if a gust of cold wind was swishing into his throat, and his whole body was suddenly in an unprecedented cold, and his consciousness was being swallowed up by this cold.

But this feeling only dissipated in a moment, because Cao Zhen had lost consciousness. Cao Zhen's body fell into the snow, and the blood flowing from his throat dyed the snow around him red, which was particularly dazzling under the reflection of the sun.

"Kill!"

Dozens of personal soldiers also launched an attack on Zhang Fei, and another cavalry rushed out of the Han army's array, but in a moment, it was killed by the Han army.

"Hey!" Looking at the corpses all over the ground, the Yellow River water stained red with blood, Liu Chan couldn't help but sigh.

As the saying goes, one will make ten thousand bones dry, although the Han has now taken Guanzhong, Chang'an can be won when he returns to Guanzhong, but this is piled up with hundreds of thousands of lives.

Although Ci is not in charge of the army, seeing such a scene, Liu Chan is not comfortable in his heart.

Taking a deep breath, Liu Chan suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart, and instructed the generals: "Although our army won this battle, the casualties of the soldiers were not small, and I prepared a large number of military doctors and medicinal materials in Huayin before the war, Wang Ping, you immediately count the wounded soldiers, and be responsible for escorting the wounded soldiers back to Huayin for treatment as soon as possible." If the Wei army is injured, send it over! ”

"The last will obey!" Wang Ping gave up his hand.

Liu Chan continued: "Liu Yin, you are responsible for escorting these Wei army soldiers back to Huayin.

General Zhao Yun and General Lin Xiao, the two of you led the troops to count the grain and grass gains, count the casualties, and clean up the battlefield.

I will first go to the camp established by Da Sima, and after you have done it, send someone to report the casualties and the results of the battle to me! ”

"No!" The generals will take the command.

Liu Chan then came to the camp established by Zhuge Liang, and when he arrived at the camp, Zhuge Liang did not come out to greet him.

Liu Chan asked a soldier, "Where is Da Sima?" ”

The soldier pointed to the high ridge on the hill on the south side and said, "Da Sima has been standing there for an hour!" ”

Liu Chan looked in the direction pointed by the soldiers, and saw Zhuge Liang looking at the reddened Yellow River in the north. For a moment, Liu Chan knew that Zhuge Liang was in the same mood as himself at the moment.

At this moment, a soldier ran to the mountain range and informed Zhuge Liang that Liu Chan had arrived.

Zhuge Liang hurriedly came to the mountains and came to pay homage.

"No need to be polite!" Liu Chan helped Zhuge Liang up, patted him on the shoulder, and everything was silent.

…………

In the evening, the generals sent people to report the news.

The soldiers sent by Wang Ping reported to Liu Chanyu: "Your Majesty, 8,000 officers and men of our army were killed, more than 20,000 were wounded, and more than 2,000 were seriously wounded. At present, General Wang Ping has returned to Huayin with all the wounded soldiers for treatment. ”

The subordinate sent by Liu Yin said: "Your Majesty, General Liu has already taken more than 10,000 Wei troops to Huayin. ”

Zhao Yun, who was in charge of counting the casualties, arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the Wei army fled here, with a total of 90,000 foot soldiers and 5,000 tigers and leopards.

Among them, 5,000 tigers and leopards have been wiped out, 90,000 foot soldiers, more than 32,000 of our troops have been killed, nearly 10,000 have surrendered, and about 48,000 have fled!

Our army found Wei General Shibao and Hu Zun in the corpse of the Wei army.

According to the soldiers, the Wei general Cao Zhen and the two of them were also seriously injured. ”

Liu Chan nodded, and Lin Xiao on the side bowed his hand again, and said to Liu Chan: "Your Majesty, our army has captured a total of 150,000 stones of grain and grass for the Wei army, 30,000 knives, 20,000 spears and spears, and 70,000 shields ....... ”

This time, the Han army mobilized a total of 130,000 soldiers and horses to fight a decisive battle with the Wei army.

On Liu Chan's side, Liu Chan personally led 70,000 soldiers and horses to attack Cao Zhen, relying on the tactics of armor and cavalry and heavy cavalry to charge into battle, and then the infantry harvested to deal with the Wei army.

On Zhuge Liang's side, he relied on the camp and the divine arm bow to deal with the Wei army, and when the Wei army chose to cross the river, it was a white-knuckle battle.

As for the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses, Sima Yi, who was watching Tongguan led by Huang Xu and Wei Yan, did not participate in the battle.

Although it was a big victory, it was also a heavy casualty.

Eight thousand were killed and two thousand were seriously wounded, and the two thousand who were seriously wounded then either died of their wounds or were disabled because they were disabled.

In other words, in this battle, the Han army directly lost 10,000 soldiers and horses.

However, fortunately, the system of the Han Dynasty is good, in order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses, Liu Chan used the military merit system in the Han Dynasty.

Under the military merit system, soldiers who died in battle could receive generous pensions, and those who were unable to go to the battlefield due to injuries could also serve as local officials after returning home.

The level of education of the soldiers is not high, and the clerical needs are not held by me in knowledgeable official positions. But for example, jailers, government officials, and village chiefs are often held by people who have retired from the army.
