Chapter 1761 No way to escape

The entire loess slope is like a Shura hell, lying everywhere, corpses are covered with corpses, and blood flows everywhere, dyeing the original yellow soil into black and purple.

Obviously, there was a big battle here, but judging from the corpses everywhere, it was a completely one-sided battle, because most of the Shu soldiers fell to the ground, and there were almost no corpses in Wei army uniforms. The bodies of the Shu soldiers were densely spread on the entire loess slope and stretched to the north. Just where they were looking, the corpses could not be seen.

Is this really the result of a battle? But from this perspective, it also looks like a unilateral massacre. What method did the Wei army use to achieve such an overwhelming advantage?

Zhoutai was originally looking to go to Huangtupo to meet with reinforcements. He had looked carefully on the top of the city before. It was true that the Shu army appeared on Huangtupo, so Zhoutai was relieved and boldly abandoned the city and fled.

But after only an hour passed, when Zhoutai arrived here, the battle had come to an end. Apart from the chicken feathers all over the place, Zhoutai could no longer find any valuable existence.

Without reinforcements, Zhou Tai fell into an isolated and helpless state. Although it was difficult to trap Chencang City, at least there was a wall to protect them so that they could be safe and sound.

But now in the wilderness, losing the support and support of the city wall, the Sima Army's situation immediately became difficult. Although they did not know how this Shu army was crushed by the Wei army, no matter what, the Wei army that could annihilate the Shu army was extremely powerful, and such an opponent was completely unmatched by the Sima Army.

There is no living figure on the battlefield now, but judging from the distribution of corpses, extending all the way north, Zhoutai can infer the direction of the escape of the Shu army and the direction of the Wei army's pursuit, which is exactly the direction of Jieting.

Isn’t Jieting the place where Zhou Tai is preparing to escape? If you keep moving forward, you will encounter the Wei army. Wouldn’t they fall into the trap?

Just when Zhou Tai was still struggling with what to do, there were sounds of killing sounds behind him, and the troops besieged by the Wei army had already chased him.

Ma Long deliberately waited for Sima's army to break through and leave, and sent some troops into Chen Cang and control Chen Cang. At this time, Chen Cang was already an empty city. Ma Long sent people to take it down, which completely cut off Sima's army's return.

At the same time, Ma Long gathered most of the troops from the camp and the camp first and chased towards the loess slope. Zhou Tai wanted to escape, but there was no gate.

Although the camp and the camp were basically infantry, their mobility was not bad at all. After all, the Sima army that was going to pursue was all infantry, and both sides were at the same speed. As long as the Wei army bit the enemy tightly, they would have no chance to escape.

So as soon as Zhou Tai led his army to the loess slope, he didn't even have time to breathe, and the Wei army had already arrived.

Zhou Tai didn't care whether the danger was ahead or not. Anyway, there was only one way forward. He could only grit his teeth and bent on his mind, and ordered the troops to move forward quickly and quickly get rid of the Wei army's pursuit.

But the Wei army chased them very tightly and bit them tightly. It was not easy for Zhoutai to get rid of the pursuit. The two armies ran along the Longshan Valley.

Although the corpses along the way are not as dense as the Loess Slope, they are still distributed all the way, as if they are like signs guiding them forward.

But Zhou Tai was uneasy at this moment. The more he walked, the more he felt more and more panicked, because he didn't know when he would encounter the Wei army. If there were indeed Wei army ahead, he would definitely be attacked from both sides. On such a steep mountain road, if he was attacked by the enemy, he would definitely be alive.

But what can I do if I don't move forward? The pursuers of the Wei army behind me were stammering and had been fighting fiercely with the Sima army's rear guard troops continuously. On the fleeing, how could the Sima army organize an effective defense? The rear guard troops were constantly swallowed by the Wei army. At this speed, before they could arrive at Jieting, they had almost been swallowed by the Wei army.

Due to the limitations of the terrain, the Sima army could only line up in a long snake. Similarly, the Wei army's pursuit troops were like a long snake. Both sides chased each other and stood on a high place to watch, it was like two big snakes chasing life and death. The big snake behind was biting the front and swallowing the big snake in front into its belly.

Throughout the journey, the Sima Army had already lost a lot of people, but the Wei army's pursuit never stopped. It seemed that they would not give up until they annihilate the Sima Army.

Zhou Tai saw that it would not work if this continues. The Wei army's pursuit team would eat them out of their mouths. He looked at the terrain in front. There was a pass in front of this wide valley. The road was narrow. He ordered Deputy General Yang Ping to lead 5,000 people to stop the Wei army here and provide cover for the evacuation of the large army.

Although the chance of survival of the army with a broken rear is very small, it is better to abandon some of the people than to be eaten away by the Wei army. This method is called the gecko's tail-breaking to survive. Gecko usually uses this method to escape the attack of natural enemies. Seeing that the situation is unfavorable, Zhou Tai had to use this method of surviving.

Yang Ping accepted the order and assigned the entire five thousand people stranded in the rear team to the team that was cut off. They no longer advanced, but quickly seized the favorable terrain and tried to resist here and resist the pursuit of the Wei army.

After Zhou Tai made this arrangement, his mood calmed down a little, and the sacrifice was worth it to exchange the lives of five thousand people for the safety of the large army.

But before he could turn around, he could hear the rumbling sound of horse hooves suddenly coming from the front.

It's a cavalry!

Zhou Tai's face suddenly changed drastically, and the thing he was most worried about finally happened.

Zhou Tai had a vague doubt before that the Wei army that could overwhelm the Shu army was the cavalry of the Wei army. After all, such a huge disparity in the death ratio on the battlefield was only able to do with strong combat effectiveness, and the messy horse hoof prints on the ground seemed to prove Zhou Tai's guess.

But Zhoutai may still have a trace of hope in his heart, that is, the Wei army pursued the Shu army all the way, and it is best to chase Jieting. After entering Longxi, Zhoutai can have multiple roads to choose from, without having to go to the black road.

Unfortunately, he even walked to Jieting, and the Wei cavalry came back, and Zhoutai was completely blocked in the valley.

The sudden sound of horse hooves came from far and near, but before Zhoutai could see the figure of the Wei cavalry, the dense arrows poured out, and a feather arrow pierced through Zhoutai's throat without any hesitation.
