Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 296 The Battle of Gaoping City (End)
(Add more changes to the little bear of the leader Tutu)
"General!" the clerks shouted, helping Guo Huai up.

The leader of Buqu didn't have time to check the injury, he led the crowd to guard Guo Huai, and Guo's Buqu beside him stepped forward with a shield, forming a shield wall.

In this way, Guo Huai, under the cover of his officials and tribes, withdrew from the Chinese army and retreated while fighting.

As soon as Guo Huai withdrew, the people who were still fighting seemed to lose their backbone, and their morale was no longer as high as before. Under the fighting of the heavy cavalry of the Han army, they were defeated and fled for their lives.

Xiang Yu went forward in three steps at a time, discarded the Huan Shou Dao in his hand, picked up the Huan Shou Dao from the ground, and slashed at Guo Huaiya's flagpole, only to hear a loud noise, sawdust flying across the flagpole, It was broken at the sound.

Zhuge Liang, who had been paying attention to the battlefield on the right, saw Guo Huai's tooth flag fall, slapped the handrail hard, and laughed loudly: "Guo Huai's tribe is defeated!"

The smile on Pan Jun's face could not be concealed, and he cupped his hands and said, "Great joy! Please give the prime minister an order to order the whole army to launch a general offensive."

Hearing this, Zhuge Liang restrained his expression, drew out the sword bestowed by the late emperor, and shouted: "Order the whole army to attack, the Chinese army Gao Xiang presses up, and at the same time order Chen Shi to destroy the remnants as soon as possible, and together with the Chinese army to pinch against Wei Haozhao's army. All go out, now It's time for our army to counterattack!"

"promise!"

On the nest car, the herald hung all the red, black, blue, white and yellow flags, waved the command flag, and signaled the whole army to attack.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

In the middle army of the Han army, there were more than ten chariots with war drums on them. The Han soldiers with bare chests beat the war drums heavily, and the sound of the drums suddenly became more urgent.

"General, the Chinese army ordered the whole army to press up and launch a general attack!"

Hearing this, Wu Ban looked at the Chinese army's nest car, and as the herald said, he drew his sword and roared, "Go out!"

The compact front formation of the Han army broke open immediately, and more than a thousand tiger infantry attacked with their shields, and rushed directly to the front formation of the Wei army. Follow the tiger infantry behind.

Offensive and defensive momentum, reverse also!

At this time, the Cao Wei Zhongjun and the people standing on the nest cart saw Guo Huai's troops being attacked by the Han cavalry, and then the army was in chaos.

After everyone had just discussed, when they sent an army to rescue, Guo Huai Yaqi fell to the ground, and then watched the Han army take the opportunity to mobilize the whole army.

Cao Zhen's face was gloomy. He really didn't know why Wei Jun's heavy cavalry rushed into the Han formation, and they suffered heavy losses in less than two quarters, both on the left and right wings.

These are [-] heavy armored cavalry. Wei's many years of hard work have been in vain, and they are only a few hundred cavalry left in Xia Houba's hands.Sure enough, that's all right, but the heavy cavalry of the Han army is still there, otherwise it will overwhelm Guo Huai's troops.This makes Cao Zhen, how reconciled!

Cao Zhen looked at the extremely messy formation of the Han and Wei armies in front of him, and sighed.

If the battle continued, Guo Huai's left would have been lost, and the battle would be reversed. The front and right armies of Xishu would attack the front army, and the heavy cavalry of Xishu would be watching.At that time, it goes without saying that the army can return to the camp safely, and how many people in the army can survive is a question.

But now that the troops are withdrawn, all is lost.Husband fights, courage is also; once vigorously, it will decline again, and it will be exhausted three times.

Zhao Yan, who had experienced battles, quickly calmed down, cupped his hands and said, "Da Sima, General Guo's tooth flag was chopped off. The left wing of our army has already been defeated. I hope the general will make a decision as soon as possible."

"Ming Jin withdraws the troops, let the Chinese army face the right of the Shu army, and retreat while fighting."

After Cao Zhen gave the order, he looked haggard and leaned on the nest cart.

The battle of Gaoping City this time has attracted the attention of the world, and the outcome of its victory or defeat has a great impact.

If Xishu were allowed to capture Liangzhou, Xishu would have the three prefectures of Liang, Yong, and Yi, not to mention the population of Liangzhou, but its geographical and political influence is huge.

As far as geographical influence is concerned, once Western Shu separates the three states, the general trend in the northwest will be Shu, not Wei.Xishu can be condescending and suppress Cao Wei Guanzhong, Xishu can attack Guanzhong at any time, but Cao Wei is subject to Xishu.

In terms of political influence, Western Shu prided itself on the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty, and now it has won consecutive battles, and the Wei Dynasty is undoubtedly disgraced, and the people in the Central Plains are moved.

Seeing Cao Zhen's dazed expression, Zhao Yan, who joined the army, reminded him, "General, please get out of the car and get on your horse to withdraw the troops!"

Returning to his senses, Cao Zhen nodded, walked down the ladder, and said in a low mood: "The withdrawal of the troops will be left to Boran. According to what was said before the war, the normal withdrawal is enough. The truth is to ride behind the army. Waiting for Xishu."

If you don't expect victory, you will lose first.

Cao Zhen, who has been fighting for many years, takes this as his creed, and Cao Zhen now leads tens of thousands of soldiers in the Chinese army. If he returns in a big defeat and the Wei army suffers heavy losses, then Cao Zhen will have no face to see Cao's ancestors and Wei Emperor.

Before the war, Cao Zhen had arranged the retreat plan and route with everyone, and he could only follow it normally.

Zhao Yan also sighed, and said comfortingly: "Great Sima, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, so don't worry about it, it's not yet decided."

Cao Zhen shook his head with a wry smile, not knowing that this was Zhao Yan's words of comfort, he remained silent and went straight down the stairs.

"I really regret that I didn't listen to Boji's words. If we move the people of several counties in the east of Liangzhou to Anding County, and stick to Gaoping City. At that time, we can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. At that time, Longyou will be recaptured, so why come here?" Cao Zhen said regretfully.

"Prime Minister, Wei Jun has retreated!"

On the nest car, Yang Yi noticed that the Wei army's middle army had stepped forward, and the rest of the army retreated slowly, and reported to Zhuge Liang immediately.

Zhuge Liang turned to look at Cao Weizhong's army, and couldn't help sighing: "Cao Zhen uses troops decisively, and retreats when he is unfavorable. He never loves fighting."

"Prime Minister, the right army lights up the smoke!" Pan Jun shouted.

Zhuge Liang looked back and saw a puff of smoke rising into the sky from the direction of the right army. The banner of the Wei army under Guo Huai fell to the ground.

"it is good!"

Zhuge Liang's spirit lifted, he didn't suppress his emotions at all, and laughed out loud.Zhuge Liang had no choice but to be happy when Wei Jun Guo Huai retreated in defeat.

These days, Zhuge Liang was very worried about this battle, after all, it was the first time he faced a battle of the level of [-].What's more, there are still tens of thousands of elite Han soldiers killed, and the future fate of the great Han depends on Zhuge Liang alone.

Seeing the rising smoke from Chen Shi at this time, Zhuge Liang was completely relieved, the big man had already won half of the battle!
Zhuge Liang looked at Cao Wei's army again, the auxiliary soldiers and county soldiers retreated first, the elite soldiers were behind the palace, and Wei Qi roamed around, guarding the flanks of the elite soldiers, fighting and retreating according to the flag.

"Cao Zhen has the style of Cao Cao in using troops, and he can advance and retreat freely. He is really a great enemy of the Han!"

The defeat of the Wei army was obvious, but Cao Zhen was able to quickly let the Chinese army go to the front and back to block the attack of Chen Shi's troops, cooperating with each other and fighting while retreating.Because of the existence of a large number of bows and crossbows, and the large amount of stamina consumed by being trapped in the formation, the heavy cavalry of the Han Dynasty did not dare to act rashly.

"Prime Minister, can you order the pursuit?" Yang Yi asked.

Zhuge Liang was not dazzled by the victory in front of him, but was very cautious in finding the direction of pursuit.After all, it is impossible for a person to run away without being afraid; and sometimes when running away, it is only necessary to run faster than others.

Zhuge Liang took a quick look, and set his sights on Wei Youjun who had besieged Liu Ba's troops earlier.Although his retreat was orderly, he was constantly being bitten by Liu Ba's left side, making his retreat more difficult.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a while, pointed to Wei Youjun, and said: "Order the cavalry to besiege Wei Wei Youjun, and let Gao Xiang divide up three thousand troops to flank his right army."

"promise!"

Seeing Yang Yi's doubts, Zhuge Liang smiled and said, "Injuring his ten fingers is worse than cutting off one. Besides, the front army against Wei and the Chinese army retreated in an orderly manner, so it should not be taken lightly. Only the weaker army on the right can go."

"The prime minister is wise!" Yang Yi said in admiration.

Sure enough, the right army of the Great Wei was unable to retreat safely under the full-scale attack of the great Han. In the end, the whole army was defeated and retreated with heavy casualties.

Zhuge Liang was cautious and ordered the Han sergeants not to pursue in depth to prevent the Wei army from ambush.

Therefore, Cao Zhen led the cavalry to lie behind the army, and waited for a long time but did not wait for the Han army. Instead, he encountered many defeated troops, and finally withdrew angrily.

The battle of Gaoping City ended with the defeat of the Wei army.
