Chapter 103 A day to rewrite history

The collapse of the riverside fleeing was definitely the most embarrassing battle that the Wei army lost after the Zhuge Liang era. Even the Battle of Taoxi, which Cao Wei lost the worst in the later period, was not as embarrassing as this battle.

More than 18,000 troops, except for more than 1,000 surrendered soldiers in Shu Han, were all veterans from the Central Plains of Yongliang. The combat effectiveness was guaranteed and loyalty was more guaranteed. Even if they fought a tough battle head-on with the main force of the Han army, it would be almost impossible to lose like this. In the melee in half a night, more than 7,000 people died and disappeared, and all the food, grass and supplies were thrown away. At the same time, weapons and flags were also seriously lost, and many soldiers were unable to find their shoes.

What is even more embarrassing is that the one who beats the Wei army so hard is just eight thousand Han troops. These eight thousand Han troops are still fighting in division, and the five thousand battalions basically have not fought any decent tough battles. What really causes serious damage to the Wei army is only the three thousand Han troops in front of the Han army...

Of course, the Wei army lost mainly in this battle. No one expected that Zhang Zhihui would still shamelessly attack the Wei army camp with a chance of winning. The time for the Wei army to take action was exactly when the Wei army was retreating. No one could have thought that last night it would be rainy and rainy all night, and the light was so dark that it was so dark that neither the Han army nor the Wei army discovered each other, and the Han army launched an attempted charge of ten times or even dozens of times.

After the war, Qian Hong also knew that he lost mainly in this battle because of luck. He understood that if he had launched a decisive counterattack, it would not only be impossible to lose like this, but on the contrary, he could easily kill the Han army's soldiers. However, it was a pity that there was no regret medicine in the world. With the beating of his chest and stamping his feet, Qian Hong's only thing he could do now was to quickly take the remaining Wei soldiers to hurried south to find a suitable place to pass the mother's blood and flee to Yunnan County to find a place to gain a foothold.

On the way to escape west, killing horses and eating became the way for Qian Hong and the soldiers of the Wei army to obtain food.

Qian Hong and the Wei army soldiers soon discovered that they might not even have the chance to kill horses and eat. Seeing the Wei army hurriedly gathering their soldiers and gathering south to protect themselves, the Han army soldiers who immediately went down the mountain like a group of hungry wolves, following behind the Wei army, and sticking tightly behind the buttocks of the Wei army like a piece of candy.

Worried that the Han army brigade would come south to chase him, Qian Hong did not dare to fight again, so he could only have a gloomy face. While leading the defeated Wei army troops to head south as quickly as possible, he sent scouts to come forward first, looking for ships that might have collected the mother's blood and ferries suitable for the army to cross. At the same time, he was forced to give up some of the army's back and cover the main force to cross the river, which became the only way Qian Hong could think of at present.

The Wei army had suffered from his own actions. The atrocities committed by the Wei army in Qin Zang had already scared away the poor people in several small villages in the south. In addition, Nanzhong was sparsely populated and backward in transportation, so the Wei army scouts searched along the river for a long time, but they couldn't even find a bamboo raft usually used by the poor people in Nanzhong, let alone expensive ships.

Even worse is still behind. It is the rainy season in April. The mother blood water called Longchuan River in later generations has risen and the water flow has accelerated, which has caused the Wei army scouts to spend all their efforts and have never been able to find a ferry that can directly flow across the river. Strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as the mother blood water of an ordinary river. It has always lie across the west side of the Wei army, blocking the Wei army's escape route.

Yan Yu, the former surrendered governor, also became the only guiding light for the Wei army, but it was still a pity that no matter how Yan Yu racked his brains, he could not remember where the mother's blood could flow directly. Therefore, the Wei army had no choice but to take the dry food with him and strode south as quickly as possible to reach the mountain area of ​​Yuanren Valley, which is the capital of Jiandong City, Yunnan County.

Near the afternoon, the Wei army successfully arrived near the Ape Man Valley and saw the valley path that could cross the mountains from afar. However, it was very sad that the Wei army scouts still could not find even a ship and a bamboo raft. At the same time, the Han army quickly followed the nearby area, stopped in the distance and waited for the Han army's new forces led by Zhang Zhi to come for reinforcements.

Qian Hong finally realized what despair is. There was no boat and raft transport, and no ropes. Even if the soldiers of Huishui swim across the river, they could not build a floating bridge. At the same time, most of the Wei soldiers from the Central Plains of Yongliang were landslides. It was no difference between asking them to swim across the river and committing suicide by jumping into the river. Apart from taking the soldiers of Huishui across the river and escaping, Qian Hong had no other choice!

Yan Yu also did his last effort and looked around and found a bamboo forest growing by the river. Yan Yu decisively pointed to the bamboo forest over there and said to Qian Hong: "Master, hurry up, ask our soldiers to cut all the bamboos, move them back and split the bamboos into ropes, tie bamboos with bamboo ropes to build bamboo rafts, and transport troops across the river with bamboo rafts."

Without hesitation, Yan Yu immediately ordered the soldiers of the Wei army to come forward and act according to the law. In order to survive, the soldiers of the Wei army were also as fast as possible. In less than half an hour, they cut all the bamboo forests away, removed the branches and leaves, and transported them back, racing against time to build bamboo rafts. During this period, many Wei army soldiers who had never done the work cut the bamboo rafts with their hands, and their blood was flowing. However, no Wei army soldiers complained. They all kept silently and rushed to build bamboo rafts under the guidance of their companions who had done the work.

Continue to make the Wei army soldiers despair. When their bamboo rafts gradually took shape, a shocking cheer suddenly sounded among the Han army troops in the distance. Then, Zhang Zhi's large flag of the surrendered governor, and at least six or seven thousand Han army's new forces gradually appeared from the far north to the eyes of the Wei army soldiers.

"Quick!" Yan Yu yelled, "Hurry up and tie the bamboo raft. The thief army has just arrived and needs rest. We still have some time!"

After Yan Yu was exposed to the meeting with the front team of the Han army, the Han army rear team led by Zhang Zhi and Wu Ma did not rush to launch an attack. They just sent some loud soldiers forward, took the horn made of instant noodles box, and ran to the Wei army's position to shout, preaching the Han army's policy of captives, and persuading the Wei army to put down their weapons and surrender...

"...Brothers, brothers from Yongliang, Zhongyuan, don't serve as soldiers for the Wei army anymore. The Wei thieves will not treat you as human beings and force you to work hard for them. After you die, you will marry your wife and wife, let others sleep with your wife and wife, and use your money to beat your children and children. Are you dead wronged?"

"Surrender! Surrendered to us, there are instant noodles and lunch meat, and you can choose to stay and stay by yourself. If you are willing to stay and join us, we will never treat you differently! If you want to go home, we will send you dry food to you and send you home! We will never lie, and you have seen it. As long as those who surrendered to us before, we will let go if you want to leave!"

The atmosphere in the Wei army was terrifyingly silent, and only some Wei generals were yelling wildly, "Don't listen to the thieves' lies. If you surrender, how could they not take revenge and let us go home? The Great Wei rule, soldiers surrender, and all their families were punished. The lightest ones were to be official slaves, work hard all their lives, and if they were heavy, the whole family would fall into the ground! Have you never seen such a thing before? If you want to survive, hurry up and build bamboo rafts and cross the river to Yunnan County!"

At the same time, Qian Hong had already arranged cannon fodder to cover the main force's crossing the river, and also generously arranged all the death-slaughter to the real Wei army soldiers, and asked Du Xin, who had been following him for many years, to lead 4,000 soldiers to protect the ferry and cover the main force's crossing the river. Du Xin took the task in tears and said to Qian Hong: "Master, take care of yourself."

Qian Hong nodded slowly and said, "Don't worry, if you can't get through, I will definitely take good care of your parents and family for you."

"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong

When Du Xin thanked with tears in his eyes, there was already a fierce sound of war drums in the Han army formation, and a huge cone formation was arranged, and the elite Han army under Wu Ma was still on the sharp knife. More than 10,000 Han soldiers were in a neat array and rushed directly to the Wei army position that formed the circular formation to defend the ferry. Qian Hong was shocked when he saw it and said in surprise: "You didn't wait for us to cross the river? Will Zhang Zhi'er use troops? Don't he know that half-crossing is the best opportunity to attack?"

"Zhang Zhi'er probably didn't want to see some of our troops fleeing to the building, so she launched an attack directly and wanted to kill us directly." Yan Yu analyzed.

Qian Hong smiled grimly and said, "It seems that this is the reason. It just so happens that as long as we can fight in formation and fight and fight the thief army, we can have more soldiers crossing the river."

After saying a grim smile, Qian Hong let out another lion-like roar, "Hold on your feet! Fight to the end with the thief army! Kill the thief army and take my way out!"

Hearing the order, the generals of the Wei army quickly ordered the soldiers to line up and prepare to fight the Han army to the end. At the same time, rhythmic and neat shouts gradually sounded in the Han army, "Surrender and not kill! Surrender and not kill! Surrender and not kill! Surrender and not kill!!"

Relying on the anti-human system of the sage system, the Wei army had staged many battles in the lonely city. On the Xiangfan battlefield, even if the city was besieged by floods, almost no one of the soldiers in Fancheng defenders who were controlled by Cao Wei dared to surrender; even in Hefei New City, the 3,000 Wei army led by Zhang Te was forced to bear Zhuge Ke's 250,000 Wu army for more than 100 days, and almost no soldier surrendered.

The same is true for field battles. Even if the entire army collapsed in the Battle of Taoxi, the Wei soldiers who formed a formation on the back of the water would rather die in the water than give up their weapons, and almost no soldiers would give up their weapons to surrender. It is easy to defeat the Wei army, but it is difficult to surrender to the Wei army. This has always been the most troublesome problem for the generals of Shu Han and Eastern Wu.

There is always a time to rewrite history. The day when history is rewrite is today, on the sixth day of May, the third year of Yanxing in Shu Han.

At the beginning, the Wei army did resist tenaciously. When the Han army front team led by Wu Ma came to the front, even though they knew that the paper armored spear worn by the Han army soldiers could not be stabbed or cut, the Wei army soldiers resolutely raised their spears and stabbed them hard, and used their strength to stab the spears fiercely on the Han army soldiers. At the same time, they used the thin leather armor they wore to resist the tip of the steel-filled spear stabbed by the Han army soldiers.

No, without suspense, even if the Wei army soldiers tried their best to barely pierce the Han army's advanced paper armor, they still had few more armors, and it was difficult to cause great damage to the bodies of the Han army soldiers. On the contrary, the elite Han army soldiers who were fat and fattened by junk food such as instant noodles and lunch meat, the steel-filled spear that was struggling to come over could easily pierce through the fragile leather armor of the Wei army soldiers, and then pierce through the chest of the Wei army soldiers and pass through the chest.

During this period, the Han army soldiers of course threw more than a dozen primitive grenades made of quicklime and pig iron scraps, damaging the Wei army's queues and affecting the vision of the Wei army soldiers.

The huge advantages in equipment and physical strength mean that the Han army's elite front team was unstoppable. Even if the speed was not very fast, the Han army's cone tip continued to advance into the Wei army's circular formation. No matter how the Wei soldiers ordered the soldiers to defend their lives, the Han army's front team still slowly advanced into the Wei army's circular formation. The subsequent Han army soldiers insisted on protecting the two wings, constantly tearing open the Wei army's positions, and tearing the gap in the Wei army's positions wider and wider.

When the front team of the Han army stabbed Qian Hong near Qian Hong's flag with blood, the spears of many elite Han soldiers had broken and curled, and they could only use the steel-stolen sword to fight. Fortunately, the power of the steel-stolen sword was still not bad, and they could still easily cut off the spears and limbs of the Wei soldiers and chop off the heads and shoulders of the Wei soldiers. Qian Hong also knew that the defeat was basically destined, and he could only order his personal soldiers to beat the only few remaining cowhide drums, so that the Wei army would change defense to offense and fight for a full-scale counterattack to fight against defeat.

It was still useless. After the Wei soldiers who were brave enough to charge, they hit the two wings of the Han army's cone formation, they seemed to have hit the iron wall with a thorn. Not only did they not shake the iron wall at all, but they were also stabbed to the point of bleeding, covered in bruises, and fell to the ground.

This is related to morale and to the food of both sides. Let me ask, from last night to this time, soldiers who only ate two rice balls to satisfy their hunger, and while also consuming a lot of physical energy, how could they beat the soldiers who ate two cans of lunch meat and a large number of Snickers? Especially these soldiers still have sufficient calorie supply for a long time and have more developed muscles?

In the era of guns and cannons, the army can rely on weapons, tactics and will to make up for its physical strength disadvantages. However, in the era of cold weapons, the army's food is the key to victory! This is also the real reason why nomadic soldiers who use cattle and goat milk as their staple food for many years are far superior to farming soldiers in terms of individual combat effectiveness!

This important reason destined that the Wei army could not rush to the Han army's ranks, and also destined that even Qian Hong's direct army would never be able to withstand the attack of the elite Han army. After more than ten minutes of fierce fighting, the front team of the Han army had already slashed and killed Qian Hong's flag and threw several primitive grenades in front of Qian Hong early.

Although he closed his eyes in time and was not injured by lime and iron slag, seeing that the situation was hopeless, Qian Hong sighed, turned his horse's head and rushed to the west with his personal soldiers. As a result, he saw his flag fleeing west, the Wei army collapsed and shouted and fled to all directions.

History has also been rewritten since then. Not long after the Han army had just sounded the general attack drum and launched a full-scale counterattack, a large number of Wei soldiers threw down their weapons and surrendered for the first time, raising their hands to express their surrender, and no longer cared about their families, young and old who were held hostage by Cao Wei, including many middle and grassroots generals of the Wei army. Many people asked with concern: "General Han, do you really keep your word? Will we really choose to stay or leave?"

The ones who surrendered the most resolutely were of course those Wei soldiers who had been captured and released by the Han army escaped from the chaotic positions and had just ensured their personal safety. Before the Han army could catch up with them, these Wei soldiers had turned around and threw down their weapons and knelt on the ground to surrender. Some Wei soldiers represented by Wang Heng quietly grabbed their companions next to them and whispered: "Don't be afraid, you will definitely go back if you surrender, and you can still eat delicious food."

Of course, there were still many Wei soldiers who fled to their mother's blood and swam to their lives, resulting in many Wei soldiers who were not good at water or could not be watered at all, being swallowed up and submerged by the river. The Han army had already made arrangements. While the Wei soldiers swam across the river one after another, a team of Han soldiers who had arranged them in advance immediately bit their weapons and jumped into the river one after another. Under the leadership of the Han army's general Liu Ju, who was well-versed in the water, they swam over to chase and kill the Wei army across the river, and also strive to block the narrow path of the Ape Man Valley.

Needless to say, of course, these Han soldiers carried lunch meat and Snickers that they received in advance, so that they could maintain their strength and fight for a long time - no one would ask if the lunch meat and Snickers were afraid of being soaked?

Zhang Zhi's arrangement in advance caught the biggest fish in this battle. With the help of his personal soldiers, Qian Hong, who could not water, escaped his mother's blood by chance, but because he was wearing heavy iron armor, he still drank a lot of river water while crossing the river. He vomited loudly after crossing the river. After the Han soldiers swam over, they could only be helped by the personal soldiers and vomited while running, which also gave the Han soldiers the opportunity to successfully catch up with him.

"Surrender and not kill! Surrender and not kill!"

As he shouted, the Han soldiers who were swarming forward first caught up with Qian Hong in conspicuous armor, and then quickly surrounded Qian Hong and several personal soldiers around him. The Wei soldiers who swam across the river were basically lost in their weapons. Only a few soldiers rushed over to rescue him, which was useless.

"Hurry up, kill me! Kill me! I would rather die than be a prisoner of the thief army!"

While vomiting river water and gastric juice, Qian Hong cried and ordered his personal soldiers to kill him. However, his personal soldiers not only did not take action, but instead put down their weapons and surrendered one after another. Qian Hong was furious when he saw this, vomited and roared, asking, "You don't want to live? Don't forget, the law of the Great Wei Kingdom, all the surrendered families will be executed!"

"Master General, the Han army never kills prisoners and will let us go back. We want to go back and be with our family."

A personal soldier's timid answer made Qian Hong stunned on the spot. When the Han army soldiers held it down with all their strength, Qian Hong shouted to the sky in despair: "King of Jin! It's not that the ministers are not doing their best, it's that the thieves are too benevolent and righteous! Our Great Wei will one day die in the hands of this false benevolent and righteous means!"

Perhaps to confirm Qian Hong's prophecy, at the same time, when the mother's blood was clearly at the east bank, thousands of Wei soldiers still threw them down and surrendered, one after another, in pieces, and the number was increasing. Similar scenes only occurred once when the Seventh Army flooded forty-six years ago.

Not only that, the main reasons why Guan Yu was able to force a large number of Wei soldiers to surrender when the Seventh Army flooded were two. One was that the sudden outbreak of mountain torrents completely surrounded the Wei army that fled to the high ground in a hurry, forcing the Wei army to death if they did not surrender. The other was that the Wei army commander Yu Jin ordered the army to surrender. For this reason, Yu Jin also paid the price of being humiliated by Cao Pi.

Like Zhang Zhi and the Han army, after defeating the Wei army brigade in the field, and being unable to surround the enemy, it was able to prompt a large number of Wei soldiers to give up fleeing and choose to surrender. In fact, it is unprecedented and there are no ones who come later! As for whether such a situation can happen later...
