"Crack!"

Cao Liang chopped down one of the Wu soldiers neatly, and blood spurted out, covering Cao Liang's head and face. Cao Liang wiped it away, holding the sword in his hand, and gasped for air.

This was the first Wu soldier he had killed with his own hands. Cao Liang couldn't even remember it. Anyway, he only remembered fighting along the way, except for bloody battles, it was bloody battles.

When Sima Yi's shout of gold sounded, Cao Liang knew that Xia Houxuan had been betrayed by Sima Yi. Without the support of the main Wei army, Xia Houxuan's 30,000 horse generals faced hundreds of thousands of Wu troops alone. This was almost

An intractable dead end.

It was too late to retreat. The Zhengnan Army was already entangled with the infantry and horsemen. It was almost impossible to withdraw from the battlefield. Moreover, the Wu Army moved extremely fast and completely outflanked them in a short period of time.

The army of the Southern Expedition was besieged, with three floors inside and three floors outside, and the water was blocked.

If night had not come, all Cao Liang could see was a sea of ​​people.

Xiahou Xuan was stunned. This situation was completely unexpected. In his battle plan, this situation was not considered at all. Now that the 30,000 southern troops were surrounded by the Wu Army, Xiahou Xuan was at a loss.

Don't know what to do.

Without a fortress that can be defended with any risk, without enough food and supplies, without reinforcements, it is almost impossible to fight a way out when surrounded by enemies.

Xiahou's mysterious plan came up with nothing, and the other generals also looked at a loss. Anyone can fight a battle with the wind, and they often say it succinctly, but not everyone can fight a battle with the wind like this. Under the heavy siege of the enemy,

It is completely impossible to formulate a detailed combat plan under such circumstances.

What is being tested now is the general's ability to adapt to the situation. How to lead the army out of a tight encirclement when the enemy is outnumbered can prove the general's strength.

Xia Houxuan obviously does not have this ability. Although Xia Houxuan is outstanding in knowledge and talent, as a rookie who has just entered the battlefield, it is obvious that what he learned in the art of war is not enough.

In front of Sima Yi, he was just a young child after all.

From the moment he took the initiative to take orders to fight, Xiahou Xuan was destined to fall into Sima Yi's plan. In order to eliminate Xiahou Xuan, the vicious and ruthless Sima Yi had already regarded the 30,000 Wei troops as nothing and made them serve Xiahou Xuan.

No need to hesitate to be buried with him.

Xia Houxuan also kept claiming that Sima Yi would not abolish the official position for personal reasons, and would not delay the national plan because of personal hatred. Facts have proved that this is just Xia Houxuan's wishful thinking. When it comes to eliminating political opponents, Sima Yi does not have the slightest bit of womanly kindness.

What needs to be done is to send Xia Houxuan to the guillotine without leaking or leaving any trace.

"Despicable! Sima Yi is simply despicable!" Xia Houxuan drew his sword angrily and chopped off a branch next to him. In this way, he vented his anger.

But everything was of no use. Xia Houxuan's carelessness and credulity put him and his 30,000 soldiers in a desperate situation. He wanted to break this dead situation unless a miracle happened.

Cao Liang stepped forward and said: "General Xiahou, if we are trapped here, we can only sit back and wait for death. We should break out in separate ways."

A flash of light flashed across Xia Houxuan's eyes. Cao Liang had warned him beforehand to beware of Sima Yi. Unexpectedly, he was right in his words.

With a glimmer of hope, he stepped forward, grabbed Cao Liang's hand, and said eagerly: "Ziming, do you have a plan on how to break out of the encirclement?"

The reason why Cao Liang dared to take the initiative to offer advice was precisely because he had made plans in this area before and discussed with Deng Ai what to do if we were surrounded by enemies several times my size.

The method Deng Ai gave at that time was to break out of the encirclement by splitting routes, and gave a detailed breakout plan based on the terrain. Cao Liang memorized it firmly at that time, and it was just in time to use it at this moment.

It has to be said that Deng Ai is indeed a military wizard. His control of mountains and geography has far exceeded that of ordinary people. When arriving at a new place, Deng Ai only needs to take a few glances to formulate an effective marching plan.

.

It is no wonder that a few years later, he would think that ordinary people would not dare to think of it, take the Yinping path that ordinary people would not dare to take, and destroy Shu in one fell swoop, creating an unparalleled achievement.

Without daily accumulation and a sharp eye, Deng Ai would not have been able to achieve such extraordinary achievements. Therefore, behind every success, it may seem accidental, but there are also inevitable factors.

Xia Houxuan was immediately delighted with the breakout plan that Cao Liang came up with. The battle situation, which was originally a mess, suddenly became clearer.

Although the breakout operation could not be 100% successful, it was better than sitting around waiting for death. Xia Houxuan ordered the men and horses of each battalion to follow this plan and take action immediately.

As night falls, darkness envelopes everything. The night adds many uncertain factors to the breakout operation, but whether it is beneficial or disadvantageous, no one can know. Now Xia Houxuan is making a desperate move and pinning all his hopes on this.

During the breakout operation.

At first, Cao Liang and Xia Houxuan's central army acted together. They walked along a path in the southwest direction. Not far after they walked out, a group of soldiers from the Wu army surrounded them. During the melee, Cao Liang and

Xia Houxuan was separated. Xia Houxuan looked westward under the protection of his personal guards, while Cao Liang continued to break through to the southwest under the protection of Fang Bu and others.

The surrounding fields were pitch black, with only the sparse starlight slightly illuminating the road ahead. Fighting for survival, this was Cao Liang's belief at the moment.

Along the way, he had killed countless Wu soldiers. The ring-headed sword in his hand was already stained with blood, and his body was also spattered with blood, including his own blood and the blood of the enemy. Cao Liang was already covered in blood.

There were many injuries, but fortunately they were all minor and not harmful.

The reason why he was able to survive the chaos unharmed was certainly due to the protection of Fang Bu and others. Cao Liang couldn't help but secretly lamented that without Fang Bu's protection, he would have died countless times.

War can indeed sharpen people's will. This is the first time in Cao Liang's life that he has set foot on the battlefield. After experiencing the baptism of blood and fire, he already feels like he has been reborn. His hands trembled when he killed someone for the first time.
