Chapter 316 (1/2)
It was just the right time for Zang Ba to issue this urgent military order. Although the soldiers of Cao army who obeyed Zang BA's military orders were still somewhat suspicious, they did not have time to think about it any more. They fulfilled Zang BA's orders honestly and began to retreat to the West in an orderly manner.
Hao Meng doesn't use it at this time. He wakes up from Sun Yi's killing intention. Hou Cheng asks Zang BA in horror: ”why didn't Sun Yi lead his troops to pursue him?”
When Zang Bayi heard Hou Cheng's question, he reflected. It seemed that Sun Yi didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue him! Zang Ba frowned. Can't Sun Yi see that they are at the end of their tether? Then Zang Ba shook his head and denied his guess. How could anyone who could set such a trap make such a mistake. But for a while, Zang Ba didn't know what kind of idea Sun Yi was playing. Now he had to take a step at a time.
At last, the 50000 Cao army still maintained the basic military spirit, and was able to form a formation according to Zang BA's command and slowly march westward. Although both Hou Cheng and Hao Meng were worried that the Xuzhou army would come after them, Zang Ba insisted on maintaining the formation. Judging from the war just now, the other side has been prepared. No one knows whether the other side has any further moves. He is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.
After five hours of marching, it was already dark. Zang Ba did not dare to camp in Qingzhou and ordered him to drive all night. Finally, he arrived at the edge of Sishui. As long as he passed the Surabaya, he would be in Yanzhou. Zang BA was finally relieved and began to order his soldiers to cross the river. Those Cao soldiers could not help but March for five or six hours. They were all thirsty. After listening to Zang BA's military order, they all rushed to the river and took the opportunity to plant and drink water in the river. In particular, the more than 1000 soldiers who escaped from the fire with Zang Ba all rushed into the river to get cool.
Zang Ba also knew that these soldiers had worked hard, so he didn't scold them. Anyway, they would soon arrive in Yanzhou, so they could relax for a while. However, Zang Ba always had something wrong in his heart. His heart was up and down, and a sense of uneasiness was always around him. Seeing Zang Ba keep looking back, Hou Cheng, who has just washed his face from the river, comes over and says to Zang BA with a smile: ”Zang Ba, after running for so long, I don't see Sun Yi chasing him. I guess it's OK! Maybe they don't have enough troops to chase them. ”
”Well!” Zang Ba is not sure. In fact, he can only explain it now. Perhaps seeing Zang Ba and others didn't stop them, those Cao soldiers became more and more excited. Some even took off their essence and took a bath in the Sishui river. Zang Bayi frowned, which is a bit of a shame. How to say it is still in the march!
”All right Zang's two words stopped Zang shengba's voice.
What's going on? Zang Ba, Hou Cheng, Hao Meng and the 50000 Cao soldiers were all shocked by the sound and all turned to the south, which is the upper reaches of Surabaya. After that roar, the sound did not stop, but turned into bursts of buzz, and the sound became louder and louder, as if thousands of troops were running towards here.
”Not good!” Zang Ba suddenly seemed to think of something. In a hurry, he called out to the Cao soldiers in the river: ”go ashore! Go ashore
Just as all Cao soldiers, including Hou Cheng and Hao Meng, looked at Zang Ba strangely and waited for his explanation, guaikou, south of Surabaya, finally gave the answer one step ahead of Zang ba.
See about a few people high waves directly hit the Bank of Sishui guaikou, and then rush towards the lower reaches of Surabaya. The speed of the wave was higher and higher. Before Cao soldiers standing in the middle of the river reacted, they were directly swallowed up.
Zang Baxian caught up with the bank one step at a time, but he was not attacked by the turbulent flood. However, he was the only one who escaped. A total of 50000 people, including Hou Cheng and Hao Meng, who had been with him for decades in the Bingzhou army, were all engulfed by the flood. Zang Ba looked at the still surging river, pale and full of sweat.
A hundred thousand people, that is, what happened this morning, I took a whole hundred thousand people and four generals to cross the Surabaya. But in less than a day, the four generals were gone, and the 100000 men were gone, leaving him alone. Zang Ba just sat on his horse and didn't move. He didn't know where to go.
Back to Chang'an? Cao Cao has not killed all four of his soldiers. When he arrived in Chang'an, Cao Cao would not let him off lightly. Maybe he would have cut him with a knife. But if he doesn't go back to Chang'an, where else can he go?
