Chapter 451 Cao Zhen breaks through

At night, the Han army's fierce attacks all day finally stopped. The Wei army in Anling City survived another day and finally could take a breath.

But when they thought that they would face fierce attacks from the Han army tomorrow, they didn't know how many lives would disappear, and the Wei soldiers were still in a very heavy mood, and the broth in the bowl seemed to be less fragrant.

"Hey, it's really rare to have meat to eat in this meal at night!" At this time, some Wei soldiers discovered that the guys scooped into their bowls was actually meat soup. Although the meat slices inside were only two or three pieces at most, they were enough to make them scream excitedly.

The Han army had been besieging the city for many days, and the grain in the city had been collected and unified rationed. A few days ago, the Wei army could still make two meals a day, one dry and one sparse, and the last two days were only a meal of porridge.

Tonight, not only did I give each Wei soldier a full bowl of dry rice, but I also added a bowl of broth for the first time. It was indeed a long-lost meal. It was not a long-lost Wei soldier for the sake of being so excited.

But unlike the young soldiers' recruits, some officers in the Wei army were not so happy, because they knew from their years of experience that they would often go through hard battles before the superiors could make the army eat a meal.

Having said that, they still have to eat, and they have to eat more than ordinary people. They all gathered around the hot-headed army to make food and asked for some more to themselves, because they understood that only those who eat enough can have a better chance of living in the war.

"Are the food, equipment and other supplies ready?" Cao Zhen asked in the lobby of the county temple.

Wu Kun, who was sitting in the lower head, said: "Go back to the general, the baggage is ready and you can set off at any time. However, only a few of us and others know the order to break through the encirclement. I wonder when the army will be spread?"

Cao Zhen pondered slightly and said, "I will pass the order in another hour."

"promise."

Cao Zhen said again: "Has the matters in the city been arranged properly?"

"At the end, the generals have greeted several big families in the city. After our army broke through, they know what to do."

Cao Zhen nodded and said, "You are the only one who can do it by my side. It's more difficult. When we meet with Guo Envoy and the others, we can turn the danger into safety."

After two months of fierce battle, Cao Zhen could entrust with important tasks, and Wu Kun was the only general who was the only one who stood alone. The other side generals were either killed by the Han army or isolated. Therefore, Cao Zhen could only serve him alone at this time.

Of course, there were several lieutenants present in the lobby at this time. As General Cao Zhen, there were few who directly ordered intermediate officers such as lieutenants to do things in the past, but now no one is available, so he had to personally give these intermediate officers a call.

"You must also do your best to help General Wu handle military affairs. As long as you can successfully break through tonight, Paul and others will be promoted." Cao Zhen encouraged the captains.

When the captains heard this, their blood was thrilling, and their hearts were surging, and they quickly responded in unison: "As for the order of the general."

When the child was soon reached, the more than 5,000 Wei troops in Anling City, except for the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, had gathered in Dongcheng. Most of the Wei troops on duty standing on the other three walls were pretending to be straw men. Because it was too dark, the Han army outside the city did not find any abnormalities.

Cao Zhen rode on a tall horse with black all over his body. He looked up at the sky. It was almost time to calculate that the time was over. He then pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed the sword at the sky, and shouted loudly: "Open the city gate, the troops will follow the enemy and fight back to Chang'an!"

"Kill back to Chang'an, kill back to Chang'an..."

Inspired by the slogan of returning to Chang'an, the Wei army rushed out from the East City Gate and rushed straight to the weak Han army's troops. Wu Kun led the remaining more than 800 cavalry to rush in front, and Cao Zhen led the infantry to follow closely.

Jiang Wei was responsible for besieging the East City. He had already fallen asleep at this time. Suddenly, he heard the shouts of killing outside the camp. He woke up immediately, turned over from the couch and went straight out of the tent to observe the situation.

It is still the twelfth lunar month, and the weather is cold and Jiang Wei's outer robe has not been enough to put on it. He only has a layer of single clothes on his body, but he saw the fire outside the camp rushing into the sky and the shadows are everywhere, and he is not feeling cold.

"What happened?" Jiang Wei asked loudly.

At this time, a lieutenant rushed over from the front and said anxiously to him: "Report to General, the large Wei army suddenly emerged from the East City, and has now broken through our army's two-fold antler resisting horse."

"How many people are there in the Wei army?"

The captain replied: "I don't know the specific number. According to the observations of Beizhi, there are no less than two thousand people, and the cavalry rushing in front are almost about a thousand."

"Wei army is coming out in full swing, Cao Zhen is going to break through!" Jiang Wei immediately reacted and said calmly: "Ru quickly integrate the soldiers and intercept them. You must block the Wei army. The reinforcements will come soon."

"No." The captain hurriedly took the order and went to organize the sergeant to fight.

Jiang Wei ordered a personal guard behind him: "Ru went to Nancheng and reported to the Prime Minister about the situation here, and asked him to send troops to help immediately."

"promise."

Jiang Wei shouted to the remaining guards again: "Get my armor." A moment later, with the help of the guards, he put on his armor, turned over his horse, and personally led hundreds of soldiers who had already assembled to fight towards the Wei army.

The shouts of killing in Dongcheng had already alarmed the Han army outside the city gates. After a brief thought, Zhuge Liang understood Cao Zhen's plan.

Yang Qing and Zhao Yun ordered: "Mingzhi, you will immediately lead the cavalry to the south. I think that although Cao Zhen came out of the East City, he would definitely flee south. Perhaps Guo Huai and others were less than ten miles away from the South City at this time.

You go and intercept it quickly, don’t let Cao Zhen meet with Guo Huai’s army. Drag it for a while, and we will come afterwards.”

"Get orders." Yang Qing bowed his orders, ran out of the tent, returned to the camp, and began to gather troops.

Zhuge Liang said to Zhao Yun again: "Zilong, you also led the troops from the headquarters to rush south to support Mingzhi."

Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said, "Prime Minister, I led my army to leave. I wonder what should the Wei army in Dongcheng do to deal with it?"

"Don't worry, the veteran general, I will immediately go to reinforce Bojo with Anguo, Deyan and others." Zhuge Liang smiled.

Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Yun understands, don't worry, Prime Minister, I will go and break the way back with Mingzhi."

Cao Zhen chose to abandon the city tonight to break through, and caught Jiang Wei off guard. Although this incident was somewhat beyond the expectations of Zhuge Liang and others, Yang Qing, Zhao Yun, Guan Xing and others were all famous generals for a while. Their subordinates were well-trained and could still be neat and fast assembled troops late at night.

After only about two quarters of an hour, Yang Qing had gathered thousands of cavalry under his command and led his troops to the south.

But his speed was still a little slower. Shortly after leaving the camp, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the east, as if a large group of cavalry was coming.

"No, Guo Huai must have sent cavalry to take the lead." Yang Qing said in surprise.

Liu Yin on the right asked hurriedly: "Eunuch, what should we do now? Are you going to run to Dongcheng to support him?"

"No, the military order given to us was to intercept the south. Although the Wei cavalry had arrived, Guo Huai's infantry must be still behind. We rushed over to intercept the infantry, and the Prime Minister and others in the East City responded."

Liu Yin nodded and said, "I understand."

"Ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories, ten thousand victories..."

At this moment, Cao Zhen and Fei Yao, who came to pick him up, successfully met, and the Wei soldiers couldn't help but cheer.
