Chapter 612: The Final Break of Chang'an (Eleven)

After the military order was issued, Guan Xing, Jiang Wei, Wang Ping and others immediately led their troops forward bravely and cut into the enemy's formation. The attack was fierce as a tide. The Wei army did not expect the enemy to launch a large-scale counterattack, caught off guard, disturbed each other, and immediately fell at a disadvantage.

Yang Qing and Zhao Yun, who were outside the formation, also pushed the reserve team left behind the formation, and each led two thousand elite cavalry out of the diagonal sect, and in an instant, they cut Shao Heng and Qin Ji into two sections.

Tao Gong and Zhao Yun's deputy general Chang Ping took advantage of the situation to lead the army to attack. The Wei cavalry was divided from the beginning to the end, and the formation was almost in chaos. After a fierce battle for a moment, they could not resist it and were defeated in all directions.

"Send the army and all the troops, don't care about the Wei cavalry, follow the Wei army's infantry formation to destroy the Wei army."

Yang Qing shouted loudly, leading the cavalry to change direction, and rushed towards Zhang Hu's troops inside. Thousands of cavalry rushed over quickly, with extremely powerful power. They rushed into the enemy formation and rushed to kill them whenever they happened. How could Wei infantrymen resist? They were killed immediately, and blood flowed into rivers and corpses were everywhere.

Zhao Yun on the other side also followed the established strategy and led the Wuqi Sanqi to kill Xiahou Ba's troops, rushing left and right, shouting to kill Zhentian, splitting and surrounding, and no one could stop him.

Xiahou Ba tribe had been killed by Guan Xing and Deng Zhi, but he was caught off guard when he encountered thousands of Han cavalry coming from the slanting assassin. The Wei soldiers no longer had the will to fight and took the lead.

"Don't panic, don't be in a mess. Those who dare to retreat will be killed without mercy!" Cao Zhen was so angry that his eyes were so angry that he roared with his sword.

The left and right advised: "Sima, the attack of the Sichuan thieves is too fierce, and the brothers can't stop it. Keep the green mountains there, and you are not afraid of no firewood. You should withdraw back to Lantian first and then make a decision."

"The army still has the power to fight, how can we retreat? The troops work hard to move forward and fight against the Zhuge Villageman." Cao Zhen was furious and stubborn, and completely forgot the strategy agreed before the battle.

Yang Qing led his cavalry to penetrate the enemy formation and rushed to the opponent's central army. He saw Cao Zhen's big banner at a glance, and was very happy.

"Haha, that guy Cao Zhen is right in front of you, and the troops follow me to capture and kill this thief."

With his legs clamped and his mount accelerated, Yang Qing took the lead and went straight to Cao Zhen to kill him. Although he was just a literati with no power at the beginning, after the training of Zhao Yun and Guan Xing, he had already mastered his masters of swordsmanship and excellent horsemanship over the years. In addition, he was wearing a fine armor carefully crafted by famous craftsman Pu Yuan, and rushed on the horse without any injuries.

After years of war, Yang Qing has gradually fallen in love with this passionate feeling of coming to the battlefield to fight against the enemy. Of course, he also knows the truth that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. If it were not for the time when he would win and had to go, he would only stay in the rear to plan.

Although Zhou Xing, Wu Que and others were no longer surprised by the behavior of fighting against Yang Qing, they were still afraid that he would make mistakes. They all smiled bitterly in their hearts, followed quickly, and protected him tightly.

When Cao Zhen's personal guard saw a Han army rushing towards him, he was shocked and his heart was broken. He hurriedly advised: "Grand Sima, the thief of Shu is here to kill him, please withdraw quickly."

"It's just hundreds of cavalry, why are you withdrawing? You follow me forward to fight. I don't believe that you can't even stop such a small number of Shu troops." Cao Zhen said angrily.

Yang Qing led the way, and the Han army was inspired by this and galloped like a rainbow, galloping forward bravely. In addition, they were the elite among the elite, with extremely strong combat power. Although the Wei army who came to block the attack had already sacrificed their lives, they still could not stop their progress.

The personal military captain and the tent chief Qin Xiong saw that the situation was not good, he made up his mind and shouted anxiously to his left and right: "You are still standing still and are doing something, so protect the Grand Sima to retreat."

After saying that, he snatched the reins of Cao Zhen's hand, forcibly turned the horse's head, and then whipped the horse's butt, and the mount carried Cao Zhen backwards. Cao Zhen was unwilling to accept it and ordered a counterattack, but none of the guards obeyed and protected him and retreated to Lantian City.

"No, I'm one step late, so I'll let Cao Zhen run away. Take the arrows, shoot the arrows!" Yang Qing led his army to break through the encirclement, but saw that Cao Zhen was already away and quickly ordered a pursuit.

The Han army fired arrows and shot the fleeing enemy. Zhou Xing's eyes were sharp and he could see clearly. He picked up the bow and shot the arrow forward, but when the bowstring sounded, an arrow shot down Cao Zhen's big flag. The flag bearer was stunned and panicked. Zhou Xing shot another arrow, and the flag bearer was in the vest and fell down the horse.

"Okay, Demao did a good job."

When Yang Qing saw Cao Zhen hiding into the enemy group and disappeared, he was disappointed, but when he saw Zhou Xing shooting Cao Zhen's big flag, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and cheered loudly.

"The army was sent to the army and shouted in unison: Cao Zhen is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed." Yang Qing's eyes rolled and he immediately had a plan.

Zhou Xing and others followed the order and shouted. When the Wei soldiers around him were all shocked and suspicious, they looked at the central army. Sure enough, they did not see Cao Zhen's big flag. They really thought that the Grand Marshal Cao Zhen had been killed by the Han army. In this way, the morale of the Wei soldiers was even more disintegrated and they were defeated like a mountain of defeat.

The Han army pursued the ranks and killed the Wei army so much that they cried and shouted to their parents, with heavy casualties. Fortunately, the battlefield was not far from Lantian, and Zhang He led his troops out of the city to respond, so Cao Zhen and others were not separated and annihilated by the Han army outside the city.

In the evening, the fight ended. Although most of the Wei army retreated back to the camps under Lantian and the city in time, thousands of corpses were left in the wild. In addition, those who surrendered to the Han army, those who were captured by the Han army, and those who fled were missing, today's battle, the Wei army suffered no less than 10,000 soldiers and suffered another great defeat.

"There is less than half of the 100,000 troops. What's the face of me going back to the court to meet the emperor? Taizu, the late emperor, Cao Zhen was incompetent and was defeated by Zhuge Liang several times. He buried the two states of Yongliang that you had worked so hard to capture. In the future, when the underground ministers came to the underground, they were willing to be cut into pieces."

In the lobby, Cao Zhen was ashamed, heartbroken, crying loudly, and his voice was shrill. Liu Ye stepped forward and advised, "Sir, please cheer up. We still have tens of thousands of soldiers. Don't be discouraged. After this battle, our army was no longer able to defeat the Shu army, Chang'an, and the fall of Guanzhong was inevitable. The most urgent task at the moment is to bring the army back to Guandong and preserve the vitality for the country as much as possible.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ye thought he would still send someone to report the current situation in Guanzhong to the emperor immediately, and asked the court to send additional reinforcements to help us withdraw back to Guandong."

"Zi Yanggong, now that I am in chaos, I will leave this matter to you. Let's do it as soon as possible." Cao Zhen waved his hand and said weakly.

Seeing this, Liu Ye sighed helplessly and bowed and said, "Yes, Ye will make arrangements now."

On the other hand, the Han army played a sing of triumphant songs and returned to the camp to win. Zhuge Liang sent people to calculate the results of the battle, while ordering people to kill pigs and sheep and reward the three armies. So that night, everyone was happy and cheered continuously.

The next morning, Zhuge Liang ordered Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi to lead their troops to Tongguan to reinforce the Wu team to prevent Cao Hong and Qin Lang from breaking through the pass.

Then, he ordered Yang Qing to lead the cavalry of his headquarters and supervise the military cavalry and 10,000 troops to stay in Lantian to restrain the Wei army. He commanded nearly 30,000 infantry back to Chang'an to join Liu Yan and Yuan Zhen, preparing to recover the old capital of the previous Han Dynasty in one fell swoop.

"Prime Minister, the old general Zhao has followed the late emperor for decades to fight, and he has a long-cherished wish to recover Guanzhong. Now the old general is old and finally waits for the day of regaining Chang'an. How can the old general miss this important historical moment?

I suggest that General Zhao stay and enjoy the glory of attacking Chang'an with everyone, and only send General Bo Miao to Tongguan to support him." After the military discussion, everyone dispersed, Yang Qing stayed at the end and said to Zhuge Liang.
