Chapter 284 Don't believe me
Master Sima screamed and fell down on his back.
Zhong Hui was right behind him. When he saw Master Sima hit by an arrow, he was shocked. He quickly helped him up and saw a feather arrow hit Master Sima's eyeball. Blood burst out and Master Sima was in great pain.
He shouted: "It hurts me to death!"
Zhong Hui didn't know medical skills and didn't dare to pluck arrows randomly, and Sima Shi didn't have the heroic spirit of Xia Hou to pluck arrows at his eyes. Zhong Hui could only ask the Wei soldiers to lift Sima Shi off the top of the mountain and urgently find a doctor to treat him.
Sima Shi fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow, and the Wei army suddenly fell into chaos. Although Hu Fen was in command, the Danyang soldiers took this opportunity to launch the most violent attack. The Wei army was unable to resist, and the entire defense line was in danger.
The archer was completely blindsided by the heavy reward. He usually used a three-stone strong bow, and his hit rate over a hundred steps was less than 20%. To be honest, he had no confidence at all, and he knew that there was only one arrow.
The opportunity was originally just to take advantage of the opponent's surprise and sneak attack. If one arrow missed the target and the opponent was alert, he would not be given the chance to shoot a second arrow.
But he didn't expect that this arrow actually hit the target, knocking down the Wei general directly. Although his life and death were unknown, as long as he could be seriously injured, it would definitely break the morale of the Wei army and create a good opportunity for the Wu army to break through.
Zhuge Ke excitedly patted the archer on the shoulder and said, "That arrow was well shot. From now on, you will be General Yamen!"
The archer's mouth was slightly open. Although he had heard that Zhuge Ke was true to his word, he never expected that he would actually fulfill his promise and directly promote a small soldier to General Yamen.
This happiness came too suddenly, and the shooter was very excited.
Zhuge Ke did not begrudge the position of General Yamen, not to mention that the arrow hit the Wei army general, which was a huge blow to the morale of the Wei army. He immediately named the archer General Yamen, and then ordered the Wu army to launch a strong attack.
Take advantage of the chaos to seize Pegasus Point.
The morale of the Wei army was greatly damaged by Sima Division's arrow. At this moment, the Wu army launched an unprecedented strong attack, so the defense line was quickly declared to be lost.
Zhuge Ke had no intention of pursuing the enemy while he was victorious. After opening a passage, he ordered the Wu army to break out of the encirclement immediately and head towards Guichou Stream.
The Wei army watched helplessly as the Wu army marched away. Zhong Hui and Hu Fen had no choice but to collect the remaining troops, carry Sima Division, and rush to the camp.

Cao Liang gathered up the remnants of the army at Wuqiangkou, buried the corpses, and at the same time took stock of the provisions.
The loss of food and grass was quite heavy. The food and grass stolen and burned by the Wu army accounted for almost 78% of the total, leaving only 20% to 30%.
The remaining grain and grass had to be transported over to hand over the task. Cao Liang ordered the remaining grain and grass to be collected and loaded on the grain truck to watch the Wei army's frontline camp.
Originally, it was only two days' journey from Wuqiangkou to the Wei army's frontline camp, but being ambushed by the Wu army, the journey must have been delayed. By the time Cao Liang led his army to the camp, it was already the afternoon of the third day.
.
As soon as he entered the camp, Cao Liang felt that the atmosphere in the camp was very strange, and he could still faintly hear crying. Cao Liang was puzzled, and when he asked someone about it, he found out that it was the news of the death of Master Sima.
Cao Liang was stunned immediately. This Sima Master was still alive and kicking before, with no illness or disaster. Why did he suddenly die?
Through questioning, Cao Liang learned about the battle at Pegasus. It turned out that after Zhuge Ke was defeated, he left in a hurry. When he fled to Pegasus, he encountered Sima Division leading an army to block it. During the melee, Sima Division
His left eye was injured by a stray arrow, and he died suddenly shortly after returning to the camp due to excessive blood loss.
Cao Liang was stunned for a while, this Sima Master actually died like this?
What a surprise!
Without Sima Shi, the course of the later period of the Three Kingdoms will inevitably be rewritten. After all, Sima Yi is already old and cannot survive for a few more years. As his intended successor, Sima Shi, if he dies, Sima Yi will inevitably need to take over from the Sima family.
to train a successor.
Maybe it will be Sima Zhao, maybe it will be Sima Fu, but they don't seem to have the iron fist and fierce determination of Sima Shi. It is already unknown whether Sima Jin can replace Cao Wei.
A slight smile appeared in Cao Liang's heart, but he tried his best to restrain his expression and prevent this smile from appearing on his face.
It is your own fault and you will not live!
Sima Shi's appearance at Pegasus Jian was by no means an accident, but a premeditated action. No wonder the whereabouts of the Conquering South Army would be leaked and they would be ambushed by the Wu Army at Wuqiangkou. Now it seems that there is no doubt that
There is no doubt that it was revealed by Master Sima.
It stands to reason that it is okay for Sima Division to intentionally ambush Zhuge Ke and use Cao Liang and the Southern Expeditionary Army as bait. However, the key is that you have to inform Cao Liang and the Southern Expeditionary Army so that they can be prepared.
However, judging from the process, Sima Division not only used Cao Liang and the Zhengnan Army as bait, but completely as abandoners. Sima Division's real intention was to get rid of Cao Liang and the Zhengnan Army with the help of the Wu Army, and
Taking advantage of the opportunity of Wu's army losing both sides, he ambushed Wu's army at Pegasus Point and prepared to reap the fruits of victory.
However, things went against expectations. Although the Southern Conquest Army suffered heavy losses, it still did not collapse. Although Cao Liang was in danger, he was safe and sound.
On the contrary, Master Sima was unexpectedly hit and killed by an arrow shot from nowhere.
Now Cao Liang really wants to look up to the sky and laugh three times. Good and evil will eventually be rewarded. God's way is reincarnation. If you don't believe it, look up and see who God will spare!
However, Cao Liang still tried hard to control his emotions. The camp was now in a sad state. If he laughed proudly and reached Sima Yi's ears, he would not go crazy.
A person who has just experienced the pain of losing a child in his later years may do some irrational things. Cao Liang does not want to get into trouble at this time.
When the grain and fodder was delivered, the quartermaster did not blame anything and just accepted it as ordered. Cao Liang asked if there was a huge shortage of grain and fodder and whether it was necessary to transfer it again overnight?
The quartermaster shook his head and told Cao Liang in a low voice that there was no need to transport more food because the governor had secretly ordered to withdraw the troops.
Although there is currently a shortage of food and grass in the camp, it is not difficult to sustain it for another three to five days. However, Sima Yi seems to have lost all interest in the expedition due to the pain of losing his son. Moreover, Guichoujian has become a
The Wei army's roadblock could not be taken down even after several days of attack. Sima Yi finally had no choice but to give up and stop fighting at all.
