Chapter 64 The Tiger Leaving the Cage (2)

The defenders of the Southern Camp suppressed the Wu army and could not get close to them, and hurriedly dispatched all the soldiers from the battalion to help. Tang Zi and others withdrew from the range, giving way to Zhuge Dan's cavalry. Zhuge Dan's Yangzhou cavalry was extremely fast, but they also suffered a lot of damage in the rain of arrows.

The warriors who rushed in front saw that the distance was enough. They threw ropes onto the wooden stakes of Wei Camp, and then pulled them back. When the Wei army saw that something was wrong, they shot the cavalry desperately. Many cavalrymen just threw ropes and fell off their horses. Those who were not lucky also lost their lives while pulling back and pulled them back.

After paying the price of five or six hundred cavalry, he finally opened more than a dozen cuts in the Wei army camp. Although the Wei army tried his best to stop, the Huainan cavalry was red in their eyes, and even if they were shot by arrows, they kept driving the horse forward. How dare the Wei soldiers stand on the ground with their flesh and blood to block the horses? Not long after, they could not hold on. When the cavalry entered the Wei camp, they attacked horizontally, and the Wei army could not resist the scattered flight.

At this time, Wen Qin, who was in charge of the palace, felt that there were more and more Wei troops, and he led Wu soldiers to fight and retreat, and moved closer to Zhuge Dan's cavalry. Seeing that the camp was captured by Zhuge Dan, Hu Fen was angry and attacked him, commanding various troops to surround Wen Qin's Wu army. Wen Chu and Wen Hu brothers saw that their father was trapped by the Wei army and could not escape, so they shouted and took more than a hundred cavalry to rescue.

In the battle formation, Wen Qin rushed left and right with a big gun. Seeing the Wei army surrounding the two wings growing thicker, she was thinking about her two sons. Hearing the voices of Wen Chu and Wen Hu, Wen Qin looked back with all his strength. He saw that the two sons had already fought with the Wei army who had copied behind him.

"You go quickly! Don't worry about being your father!" Wen Qin was afraid that the Wei army was facing the front, and no one of the father and son would be able to leave by then, so he took the remaining more than a thousand Wu troops to kill Hu Fen's central army.

Seeing that the Wu army was fighting for his life, the Wei army could not help but move closer to Hu Fen's central army. Hu Fen's eyes were sharp and saw more than a hundred cavalry rushing over behind Wen Qin's army from afar, so he sent the generals to divide their troops to encircle them.

Wen Chu and Wen Hu brothers were even more desperate when they heard Wen Qin's shout. At this time, the Wei army was just a small group of people behind Wen Qin, and they could not resist Wen Chu's brothers and were killed and separated by the two.

"My son, don't let my father die in vain! Go away!" Seeing that the two sons did not obey his command and were still quickly approaching the Wei army brigade, Wen Qin was furious and shouted.

Knowing that what Wen Qin said was the truth, but the Wen brothers abandoned their father and escaped alone never thought about it. At worst, they died together. Wen Chu said to his younger brother: "I'll go rescue my father, you can leave here quickly!"

Wenhu's eyes were red, and he killed a Wei general with a big knife and said, "Brother, I'll go and save my father!"

Just when the two were arguing, Wen Qin was a small soldier after all, and although he was brave, he could not stop the Wei army dozens of times. After surrounding Wen Qin, the Wei army began to kill the two of them layer by layer.

"If you don't leave, you will commit suicide..." Wen Qin roared with all his might.

His father forced each other to die, and the Wen Chu brothers had no choice but to shout and rode a horse and killed the weaker side of the Wei army. Wen Chu was angry and jumped in front of the horse, and the Wei generals were invincible with spears. Wen Hu was also extremely sad and angry, and led more than ten cavalry to the palace behind Youyi to break out of the siege with his brother.

At this time, the Wei army camp had already become a sea of ​​fire. Zhuge Dan ordered the troops to do it intentionally, intending to stop the Wei army. Zhuge Dan ran for more than ten miles and looked around, with only Zhu Cheng and more than a thousand cavalry following him. Wu general Tang Zi and other cavalry were not sure where to go, and they thought they had run away when they broke through.

"Lord, don't stay here for a long time!" Zhu Cheng saw a cry of killing coming from afar behind him, and said to Zhuge Dan.

"Oh... let's go!" He sighed, and Zhuge Dan and others continued to run for their lives.

The group ran for more than 30 miles, and encountered several battalions of Wei troops along the way. Relying on the sharp cavalry, Zhuge Dan and others continued to break through the siege, the Wei army could not stop Zhuge Dan and others from sharply, but could intercept the cavalry behind. At this time, Zhuge Dan had only three or four hundred cavalry beside him, and most of them were injured.

"Since the Sima thief has set up blocks, I think there are still Wei troops stationed in front of me." Zhu Cheng rode his horse to Zhuge Dan and said sideways.

There was no clear statement, but Zhuge Dan also knew what the old subordinate meant. The Wei army arranged no less than 3,000 people within thirty miles after the camp, and should be prepared for him to break through Hu Fen's camp. If he did not change the marching route, he would not go too far with his existing strength.

"What do you think?" Zhuge Dan asked when he observed the geography around him.

"Only the leader of the lord horse is right!" Zhu Cheng had no idea.

"We are a cavalry that is good for the road to run. Now we can't walk on the road... Let's take a small road!" Zhuge Dan walked as soon as he spoke, and walked along a small road beside the road.

With the fire in the southern camp, Jiao Yi and others who were fighting outside the East Gate of Shouchun were secretly happy. It seemed that Zhuge Dan had successfully broken through. At this time, the battle situation was already extremely unfavorable to the Huainan army. The Wei army saw the weakness of the Huainan army's unstable mind and low fighting spirit. During the battle, they kept shouting, "Zhuge Dan is dead! Those who surrender will not be killed!"

Since the beginning of the war, the army did not see Zhuge Dan's figure. After hearing that the Wei army said that Zhuge Dan died, most of the soldiers were shaken, but they still didn't believe it. Compared with Zhuge Dan's death, the subsequent words "Surrenderers will not kill" were much more lethal. The young and strong man who were forced to join the army first left their weapons and knelt on the ground to give up resistance. Seeing that the Wei army did not attack these Huainan surrendered soldiers who stopped resisting, the Huainan army, who was unwilling to fight, began to surrender in large numbers. The remaining soldiers who were fighting stubbornly had no support from their companions and were soon killed by the Wei army.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Jiao Yi recalled more than 10,000 troops and other people who were still fighting loyally together. Although the remaining Huainan army still had resistance, they had long lost the courage to fight.

The sound of the horn in the west of Shouchun City sounded, and Sima Zhao's flag fluttered in the wind. Zhang Shuo on the top of the city smiled bitterly and said, "The Sima thief actually attacked the city himself!"

The Wei army climbed to the head of Shouchun City and suffered almost no losses. All the soldiers left in the city were old and weak. Seeing Zhuge Dan taking care of himself and leaving more than 100,000 people away, who would have thought of fighting for the Zhuge family? More and more soldiers surrendered outside the East City, and the soldiers on the top of the city also lost their fighting intentions. They all abandoned their weapons, took off their military uniforms and hid home.

Zhang Shuokong had a lot of ability, but there was no available soldiers in his hand. In a frustration, he took several people to the granary to burn the supplies in the city. When the people in the city heard about the situation outside the city, they saw that the soldiers guarding the granary were stealing themselves, and immediately began to grab grain without any scruples.

Seeing the granary in chaos and the people were bustling with food. Zhang Shuo was furious and waved his sword to kill several people who stole the grain and commanded his personal soldiers to set fire to the grain. The people were dissatisfied with the Huainan army, and were frightened when they saw Zhang Shuo killing people with swords. After a closer look, there were only five or six personal soldiers on the other side. The brave one picked up the rice bag and smashed it over. Zhang Shuo led his personal soldiers to fight back. No ordinary people could defeat the regular and generals. The person who first attacked was killed several times.

Someone set a precedent, and the rest of the people became bolder. What do you think of getting rich? The people rushed forward with anger, and Zhang Shuo and others were outnumbered, and they were killed by the rioters.

When Shouchun was lost, Jiao Yi and others outside the city were attacked from all sides. The Wei army set up a formation, leaving tens of thousands of people to surround Jiao Yi and others. The remaining Wei army began to gather surrendered troops and divided the troops to the south to support and chase Zhuge Dan. Jiao Yi and Shi Quan repeatedly rushed to the Wei people and were unable to impulse the Wei people's formation, and they fell into scars. The soldiers around him were less and less. Many people even took the initiative to surrender. Gradually, only more than 100 people including Jiao Yi and refused to surrender. Sima Zhao waved his hand on the city, and the Wei army fired arrows at the same time. Poor Jiao Yi and more than 100 people including Shi Quan were killed.

As it was getting late, Zhuge Dan and his party galloped on the path, and the number of people accompanied him dropped to less than 200. Although he did not encounter any obstacles to the Wei soldiers, the path was rugged and difficult to walk. The injured people and horses could not hold on and were left far behind.

The Wei army could not find its own trace, so it must have searched everywhere on a large scale. It was even more difficult to return to the Eastern Wu than to break through. Then I thought of Jiao Yi, Zhang Shuo, Shi Quan and other generals who were staying in Shouchun. Zhuge Dan felt sad and shed tears while running around. As long as he could resist the Eastern Wu safely, he would use the Eastern Wu troops to attack the Sima thieves to avenge the generals!

It passed through a forest land, and a small stream not far ahead, and the stream was turbulent and clear. It was too late and it was safe to walk along the way. Zhuge Dan ordered everyone to go to the stream to get water for a temporary rest. I thought that when I arrived in Wu, I had to rely on these dead soldiers and horses, and rest was essential.

Zhu Cheng used a helmet filled with stream water and sent it to Zhuge Dan and said, "Lord, I will take people forward and take advantage of the night to get out quickly."

"Okay, Sima thief must have a lot of people. If you can't wait for us on the road, you will definitely change your strategy." Zhuge Dan took a sip of water and moistened his throat.

Zhu Cheng clasped his fists and took more than ten people on the horse and stepped across the stream to investigate the other side. Zhuge Dan took a break for a while and felt much calmer. Seeing that most of the generals and soldiers by the stream were injured and in a mess, he couldn't help but feel angry. He had been on the battlefield for more than 20 years and had never suffered such a great defeat. Although he devoted himself to the Eastern Wu to save his life, he would probably be far away to come back here to take revenge. Thinking of this, he felt a little desolate.

At this time, more than ten other riders, Zhu Cheng and others had already reached the other side. After walking forward not far, they suddenly felt something was wrong. Zhu Cheng shouted, "There is an ambush! Lord..." Before he could finish his words, the person had been shot into a hedgehog.

When the Huainan soldiers who were drinking and resting, they all picked up their weapons and turned over the horse when they heard Zhu Cheng's warning. They saw that the upper and lower reaches of the stream were suddenly as bright as daytime. Countless Wei soldiers lit torches to surround Zhuge Dan and others. Zhuge Dan was shocked and put on his sword and horse to gather with everyone.

"Zhuge Gong was fine, so Zhong Hui has been waiting here for a long time." A scholar from the Wei army formation opposite walked out leisurely.
