Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 491 Chasing and Killing
The generals of the Han army rushed out like a tidal wave of shouting and killing. The generals of the Wei army showed horror, and the soldiers were terrified. They knew they were surrounded.

The soldiers of the Wei army, who had already exhausted their will, completely collapsed under the circumstances that they were surrounded on all sides and their majesty might escape.Just like dominoes, when the first domino is knocked down, all the following dominoes are hard to collapse, and one will collapse faster than the other.

The soldiers of the Han army gritted their teeth, squeezed out the last of their strength, rushed forward along the mountains, and rushed towards the Wei army camp.Along the way, the soldiers of the Wei army were like a mantis holding a chariot, with no effect.Even the generals who tried to call on the soldiers to resist could not find the soldiers under their command in the dark night.

The Han armies from all walks of life broke through the defense lines of the Wei army one after another, as if they were destroyed.The shouts of the Han army on all sides have been clearly heard, and even Wu Yi of the Central Route Army and the infantry assembled under Deng Ai's command.

In the dark night, everyone was running, the two armies had already lost their formation, and they were intertwined with each other. The Wei army fled, and the Han army chased forward.Even the soldiers of the two armies, who were enemies of each other, passed by the enemy army and did not notice any abnormalities in the other side.

The general of the Wei army could not find the soldiers under his command, and the soldiers of the Han army could not find the general of the Han army. The entire Xinling was full of boiling sounds.However, the Han army had only one idea, and that was to return to the division towards the top of the mountain, while the Wei army's idea was very simple, and that was to flee eastward.

Huo Yi, who was closest to Cao Rui, fought bravely with his thick armor, surrounded by his personal guards, and kept cutting down the soldiers of the Wei army who dared to stop in front.

Taking advantage of the darkness, a Wei soldier in heavy armor tried to lean over from Huo Yi's left side to surrender.However, Huo Yi's eyes were quick and his hands were quick. He raised his spear and sprinted forward, piercing the throat of a Wei soldier. life.

Pang Hui, who was retreating to the rear for a short rest due to his injuries, was very nervous about the shouts of killing from all directions and the continuous gathering of Han troops in front.This is the first time he has participated in such a high-level battle, and he has been shaken by such a sudden situation. Maybe Wei will lose this battle.

Then a sense of powerlessness came over his face, he felt tired, and the wounds on his body ached even more.Pang Hui opened his mouth subconsciously, wanting to say something, but didn't know what to say.

The personal guard supported Pang Hui and said anxiously: "General, retreat! The Shu army is swarming. Our army is surrounded on all sides and has no support. How can we stop it?"

Pang Hui glanced at Cao Rui's direction, and said hesitantly: "If our army is defeated, the soldiers of this army will drive into the central army, and your majesty will be in danger!"

The guard stomped his feet and said, "General, the east is empty. The Shu army is already approaching His Majesty's camp. Your Majesty must withdraw. If we don't withdraw, our army will be captured by the Shu people."

While speaking, Liao Hua, who lost contact with Huo Yi's troops, appeared from another small road and headed towards Cao Rui's army.He shouted wildly: "Cao Rui, stop running, and Liao Yuanjian is here."

Pang Hui looked at the Han and Wei armies fighting in front of him, his face was cloudy and he was deep in thought.

At the same time, as the vanguard of Liu Yin's unit, Xiang Yu from the Left Army, and Jiang Wei, who was rushing to attack, were approaching the Central Army just like Liao Hua from the Right Army.

Cao Rui, who was on the high platform on the northeast slope, heard the approaching sounds from all directions, his face was ashen, his legs trembled, and he could hardly contain his fear.

Unknowingly, Cao Shuang sprang out of nowhere, holding his long sword, panting heavily, and shouted: "Cao Shuang came late to save you, please forgive me. Now the situation is critical, and your majesty will be escorted out of the encirclement."

Seeing the appearance of Fa's little friend, Cao Rui calmed down, walked down the high platform, grabbed his arm, and asked anxiously, "Uncle Zhao, where did Dianman go? Where did Wei Zhen and Qin Lang go?"

With a big belly, Cao Shuang cupped his hands and reported, "Your Majesty fought with the Shu army in chaos, and I don't know where they are going. Seeing that the Shu army is surrounded on all sides, the generals of the Shu army swarmed here. They are worried about your majesty's safety, so they are here to protect you. Your majesty, please don't stay here." Here, follow the ministers and retreat eastward to Chang'an."

Hearing this, Cao Rui hesitated for a while, this retreat was a bit embarrassing for him.After all, it was really embarrassing to say that they would defeat the Shu army at the beginning, but now they were defeated and left.

Jiang Ji, who has experienced many battles, is also nervous now, and said: "Your Majesty, although the army is defeated today, it is not a complete setback for the country. Our army still has nearly [-] soldiers and horses. Your Majesty should retreat as soon as possible. The matter of marching."

"That's right! Your Majesty should put military power as the most important thing. Victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. The Central Plains is vast and rich in resources, so we can cheer up and fight again." Cao Shuang said in harmony.

With that said, Cao Shuang wanted to help Cao Rui go down the mountain.

Cao Rui slightly refused, and under half-push and half-satisfaction, he and Cao Wei Zhuqing retreated down the mountain with Cao Shuang, looking for his own driver.

The cold wind whizzed by, and the torch in Cao Shuang's hand fluctuated and flickered in the strong wind, which reflected Cao Rui's face flickering.

In the quiet of the night, Cao Rui couldn't help but feel fearful from the Han troops shouting and killing from all around him. Holding Cao Shuang's thick arm, he felt a little at ease.

As time slowly passed, Cao Shuang, Cao Rui and others were about to arrive at Xinling Dongying.More than a hundred people dressed in armor and holding sharp knives, the bloody Han army rushed down the slope, crashed into the queue led by Cao Shuang, and hacked and killed among the dense crowd.

While waving the long knife, there were screams and blood splashed, and the unsuspecting soldiers of the Wei army fell to the ground and died one after another.In an instant, the soldiers of the Wei army were killed and injured, and fled everywhere.The Han army directly intercepted Cao Shuang's army, and then pursued and killed him.

For a moment, the whole team was in chaos, the torches were scattered, and the soldiers waved their weapons in order to protect themselves, and there were many people who killed each other.

Seeing the Han army chasing after the inner circle, Wei Jun Gongqing, the whole situation was chaotic, and there were hundreds of people rushing towards his team behind.Everyone was terrified, and led their guards to leave the team and fled towards the mountain.

The leader of the Han army had a scarf wrapped around his thigh, and he carried a spear in his hand to assassinate in the crowd, shouting, "I am Huo Shaoxian Zhijiang, and Cao Rui's son will give you the head quickly."

It turned out that this Han army was under Huo Yi's. After Liao Hua attacked the Chinese army, Panghui's troops collapsed.Huo Yi also basically guessed that Cao Rui was going to flee, so he looked for the direction down the mountain and a large number of torches appeared, and took shortcuts along the way to block him, but he stopped him.

"General, maybe Cao Rui is there!"

After the guards behind him hacked to death a soldier of the Wei army, through the gap, they saw a man in gorgeous armor surrounded by more than ten young people.

Huo Yi raised his gun to pick up the long knife of the Wei army soldier, and poked it towards his heart.After stabbing him to death, Huo Yi heard the reputation and looked over, overjoyed, and shouted: "The man wearing the cloak is Cao Rui, don't let him go."

As he said that, Huo Yi stepped towards Cao Rui with his painful thigh.

Seeing Huo Yi, dripping with blood and approaching him with a ferocious face, Cao Rui was instantly frightened out of his wits.At this moment, his mind was blank, and he didn't have any thoughts to stop him. He dragged Cao Shuang beside him and ran straight down the mountain.

The cronies beside him followed closely behind, and Cao Rui walked flexibly at the foot of the mountain with the help of the moonlight.

But when he was young, Cao Shuang, who was unable to move freely because of his obesity, was caught by a dead tree and rolled down the mountain. By accident, he arrived at the bottom of the mountain before Cao Rui.

Cao Shuang lay on the ground looking at the stars in the sky, panting heavily, with a dull pain in his ankle, making it difficult to walk.Fortunately, his cronies came later and helped Cao Shuang escape in the night.

But Cao Rui was not so lucky, his figure was directly followed by Huo Yi, and Huo Yi led several people in hot pursuit behind him.

While Huo Yi was rushing, a person bumped out from the night. Huo Yi lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground. He was dizzy, and the spear in his hand fell to nowhere.

The man came rushing forward, holding a Han blade in his hand and was about to stab Huo Yi, shouting: "Your Majesty, hurry up, the court is full at the back of the palace."

Finally, Dianman, whom Cao Rui was thinking of, appeared, and rushed over to serve as Cao Rui's queen.

Facing the sharp knife piercing his chest, Huo Yi held Dianman's vinegar bowl-sized fists with both hands to stop him from thrusting down.

"what!"

Facing Dianman's downward thrust, Huo Yi's veins bulged out in both arms, and his face turned red. It was obvious that Dianman's strength was beyond Huo Yi's ability to bear.

The sharp point of the knife stabbed slowly on the armor plate on Huo Yi's chest, squeezing the armor plate continuously, and the armor plate burst with a 'bang'.In desperation, Huo Yi pushed him towards the side, and the sharp blade pierced into Huo Yi's right arm, causing Huo Yi's face to contort in pain.

Dianman smiled grimly and raised the sharp blade in his hand, and was about to thrust it into Huo Yi's chest.

The Huoyi people are coming!

"what!"

An ax struck Dianman's head, and he roared upwards like a wounded beast.Huo Yi under him seized the opportunity to grab his sharp blade, inserted his backhand into his abdomen, and stabbed him a few times.

Dianman fell to the ground and died!

Huo Yi didn't have time to check the wound, grabbed the spear in his hand, and staggered towards the direction where Cao Rui was escaping.The personal guards chasing after him also followed closely beside Huo Yi.

"General, Cao Rui has fled and is nowhere to be found. The general is seriously injured, and the priority should be to treat him earlier." The guard said with concern.

Huo Yi waved his hand, tore off his injured arm, made him gasp, and said, "Cao Rui has nowhere to go, he can only go to the east. If he wants to escape, he must flee by horse or car. Therefore, he must First go to the camp, look for chariots and horses, and then escape."

"It's advisable to chase quickly!"

"promise!"
