The middle-aged general was in a dilemma, because after confirming that the old man at the foot of the mountain was Zhuge Liang, his instinct told him that Zhuge Liang must be killed.
As long as Zhuge Liang is killed, the Han army will definitely fall into panic.
"Attack!"
Suddenly the middle-aged general shouted loudly, and even the Han troops at the foot of the mountain could hear his voice very clearly.
There really is an ambush on the mountain.
"Prime Minister!"
The surrounding generals were also shocked.
The Prime Minister really guessed it right, Wei Jun really set up an ambush here.
Before Zhuge Liang could respond, he saw artillery fire in a narrow passage not far away.
Boom boom, bang bang bang...
And halfway up the mountain, all the hidden Wei troops were exposed. They rushed forward quickly, and then suddenly threw out long spears, which fell from the sky.
Except for a small part that fell into the rolling Yellow River, most of them fell into the narrow passage at the foot of the mountain.
"Hanwang Cannon!"
"Get them out quickly!"
"Get them out quickly!"
Zhuge Liang immediately stood up and shouted loudly.
The target of the Wei army was not him, but the Han king's cannon.
When the 30,000 people in front passed by, he was wondering, if there is an ambush on the mountain, what is their goal?
Maybe it's the Hanwang Cannon.
Because in Hongnong City, Guanqiu Jian had experienced the power of the Hanwang Cannon, and perhaps they least wanted the Hanwang Cannon to enter Shaanxian County.
Because once the Hanwang Cannon enters Shaanxian County, Hongnong City will not be able to stop the Hanwang Cannon, let alone a small county town of Shaanxian County.
In order to allow the Han king's artillery to pass smoothly, he deliberately drove to the front of the formation, just to let the Wei army on the mountain see it.
If the Wei army saw Zhuge Liang here, they might choose to kill him and let the Han king's artillery pass.
If so.
The Han Dynasty will definitely win this battle, because as long as the Hanwang artillery passes through this passage, Shaanxian County will be defeated; because they can carry 2,000 artillery shells in the hands of the 30,000 Han troops who passed in front.
What's more, there are Guo Wei and Jiang Wei in front, and Ma Su in the back.
As long as the Hanwang cannon passes,
Even if Zhuge Liang cannot get through, Shaanxian County can still be conquered.
This was also what Zhuge Liang had specifically explained before. If he had not passed, the front army would have been commanded by Jiang Wei and then quickly captured the county seat of Shaanxian County.
Once Shaanxi County is captured, the Wei army on this mountain will be attacked from two sides.
Because the Han army in Shaanxi County can go up the mountain to attack them, the Han army in the west can also transfer more Hanwang artillery from Hongnong to bombard them.
But——
Zhuge Liang miscalculated.
He used himself as a target, but it did not change the Wei army's intention to ambush.
The Wei army kept throwing rocket launchers into the passage down the mountain. The short passage was filled with explosions, sending the Han troops flying in all directions. The carriages transporting the Han king's artillery were also blown to pieces.
As for the Hanwang cannon on the carriage, it also suffered a brutal blow.
Although the Hanwang Cannon is made of fine iron, it is basically difficult to blow it up with artillery fire; but under the fierce attack of the rocket launcher,
Most of the Hanwang cannons rolled down into the rolling Yellow River when the carriages were blown up.
"Don't panic!"
"Don't panic!"
Ma Su was also very anxious, watching the Hanwang cannons rolling into the Yellow River.
He was extremely anxious. While commanding the panicked soldiers, he rushed forward to protect the Hanwang Cannon.
Just——
The King of Han's cannon weighed six to seven hundred kilograms, how could his mortal body be able to stop it?
After the Wei army threw more than a hundred rocket launchers on the mountain, they took materials from the spot and pushed the nearby large rocks to the cliff.
"Retreat!"
"Retreat!"
No matter how Zhuge Liang shouted, the Han artillery was blocked in the middle, and the Han army behind was already in chaos. They could retreat quickly through the narrow passage.
In almost half an hour, most of the fifty Hanwang cannons rolled into the Taotao Yellow River, leaving less than ten still on the passage.
As for the five thousand Han troops, only the last two thousand retreated in time. The remaining three thousand were either killed by the bombing or fell into the rolling Yellow River.
After attacking for less than half an hour, the Wei army on the mountain stopped attacking because they could see the situation at the bottom of the mountain very clearly. Most of the Han cannons were blown into the Yellow River by them, and many Han soldiers were killed.
p>
At this moment, on the passage at the foot of the mountain, there are corpses of Han soldiers lying everywhere, and there are only dozens of wounded soldiers left, who are retreating in panic.
"Zhuge Liang!"
The middle-aged general on the mountain shouted loudly: "You have entered Hongnong, but don't even think about entering Shaanxian County again."
"Hahaha!"
"Haha!"
The Wei soldiers on the mountain laughed loudly and excitedly, while Zhuge Liang at the foot of the mountain had a gloomy face. He was in a very moody mood, but there was nothing he could do about it.
They could only watch the Wei army on the mountain because they couldn't go up.
At this time, the last less than a hundred wounded soldiers finally retreated from the passage. One of the wounded soldiers, carrying a person on his back, slowly walked towards him.
"Prime Minister!"
Before he could reach the front, the soldier in front said with a cry: "Prime Minister, Ma joins the army, Ma joins the army..."
"You Chang...You Chang..." Zhuge Liang was frightened when he heard this. He jumped out of the carriage and rushed over quickly. Is the soldier carrying Ma Su on his back?
"Youchang!"
"Youchang!"
When Zhuge Liang came closer, he saw clearly that the soldier was carrying Ma Su.
"Prime Minister!"
"Ma joined the army...died in battle."
Putting down Ma Su's body, the soldier said dejectedly.
"You Chang...You Chang..." Zhuge Liang just held Ma Su with only one arm left, and then cried and wiped the dust from Ma Su's face.
"It was Liang who harmed you!"
"It was Liang who harmed you!"
Zhuge Liang admired Ma Su very much, although the emperor once said that in the original history, Ma Su lost a street pavilion, which led to the failure of the Northern Expedition of the Han Dynasty. Later, he even killed Ma Su with tears.
That was the original history.
After the emperor peeked into history and shortened the pace of the Northern Expedition, and he also knew some historical events, he never gave Ma Su the opportunity to lead the army, but Ma Su's talents were infinitely magnified by him.
Although Ma Su was not good at leading troops, his intelligence was indelible.
Be a counselor!
From then on, Ma Di has always played the role of a counselor. Whether it was the emperor's Western Expedition or in Chang'an, Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan positioned Ma Di as a counselor.
I thought that if Ma Su was not allowed to lead the army, the tragedy in history would not happen.
Nowadays, the Han army is powerful and has advanced weapons.
It was only a matter of time before the Han Dynasty unified the world.
But——
Ma Su died in battle.
"Prime Minister!" The general beside him helped Zhuge Liang and said with relief: "Ma joined the army and died fighting for the country. He deserved his death."
This is true.
It turns out that Ma Su in history died when he lost his street pavilion and was beheaded after being convicted.
But this time, he was ordered to escort the Hanwang cannon.
It was an ambush by the Wei army.
"Prime Minister!"
Yang Yi, who joined the army, frowned and said: "Now the King of Han Dynasty's cannon is gone... Prime Minister, now is not the time to be sad." He paused and then said: "Now we have to find a way to pass this passage. The current situation is
Important things."
Ma Su was close to the Prime Minister, and he died unexpectedly in battle. The Prime Minister must have been sad, but Yang Yi, who also joined the army, was very calm.
