Chapter 141 Spring Breeze Wuzhangyuan (please subscribe!)
Zhang Xiu carried Ma Su on his back and ran all the way for half an hour. Then he put the latter down while panting. He looked at the dark crowd of Shu army soldiers behind him with surprise and confusion.
twice.
He had already escaped twice with Ma Su on his back, and each time it was particularly easy.
To be honest, with his strong physique, it is not difficult to carry a horse weighing more than 100 kilograms and run. He can also carry it even heavier. What is difficult is that he can run for half an hour at a stretch without feeling tired.
It's like a divine help.
Previously, Zhang Xiu attributed this ability to the physical explosion at the critical moment of life and death.
But today he paid careful attention and found that it was not the reason, because he was only slightly panicked from beginning to end, and it did not rise to the level of life or death.
So this ability is worth pondering.
After thinking for a while and unable to figure it out, Zhang Xiu then stopped worrying about this issue. In the face of a powerful enemy, it was important to save his life first.
"General, where are we going?"
"No rush, let's take a look first!" Ma Di raised his eyes and looked around. He estimated that the Wei soldiers were still about ten miles away, so he ordered the soldiers to stop and take a look at the surrounding terrain.
To the south, mountains are rolling; to the north, a river flows quietly; to the east, an abrupt plain plateau appears in the field of vision.
The west-facing side of Tuyuan is a gentle slope. There is a small stone tablet standing on the uphill slope. On the stone tablet are engraved four words that made Ma Su's heart stop -
Wuzhangyuan!
This place is Gojohara?!
Ma Su suddenly realized.
Wuzhangyuan is bordered by the Wei River in the north, Wugong River in the east, and the Qinling Mountains in the back. It is a natural highland with sky on three sides and surrounded by water on two sides. Wuzhangyuan is about 20 meters high, about 3,500 meters long from north to south, and about 1,000 meters wide from east to west.
It is dangerous and condescending, has an excellent view, and is relatively flat at the top. It can garrison a hundred thousand troops. It has always been a battleground for military strategists.
Wuzhangyuan is about 300 miles away from Chang'an in the east, more than 60 miles away from Chencang Road intersection in the west, and only more than 10 miles away from Longdao Road in the north. It guards the east-west transportation hub of Guanzhong and its geographical location is extremely important.
In the original time and space, Zhuge Liang's last Northern Expedition to the Central Plains was when he left the Xie Valley and stationed an army of 100,000 troops here. They had a stalemate with Sima Yi who came after hearing the news for several months, and finally ended up with the autumn wind blowing away the Wuzhangyuan.
This Wuzhangyuan is exactly that Wuzhangyuan!
I never thought that I would travel more than sixty miles in one breath.
Ma Su was amazed at first, and then had an idea.
If the Wei soldiers still don't give up and pursue them all the way, aren't they looking for death?
Obviously, it took at least more than an hour for the Wei soldiers to chase them all the way from Chencang to Wuzhangyuan. After an hour of running at such a high speed, they must be exhausted and how could they have the physical strength to fight again?
By that time, the Shu soldiers who have rested for more than half an hour will be full of vigor and vitality, waiting for work. Isn't it like killing a big soldier with one sword?
Wonderful.
Since the odds of winning were too high, there was no need to use the system to simulate the upcoming battle. Therefore, Ma Su immediately shouted to everyone:
"All officers and men listen to the order and quickly ascend to this high ground, rest on the spot and prepare for battle!"
All the soldiers followed the order, and under the leadership of Zhang Xiu, they ran up to the high ground of Wuzhangyuan, took out water bottles and dry food, and replenished their energy on the spot.
Until then, Ma Su didn't bother to put on his armor, pick up his bow, and inspect the terrain on the top of Wuzhangyuan.
…
At the same time, more than twenty miles away.
Wang Shuang rode his horse by the road, looked ahead (to the east) anxiously, and looked back at the Wei soldiers who were sweating profusely and panting on the road. His eyes almost popped out of his sockets. He couldn't help it.
shouted loudly:
"Run faster!"
"Run faster!"
"What do you do for food? You can't even catch up with Shu soldiers?!"
Every group of soldiers who had been scolded by him ran away quickly as a reflex. After avoiding the focus of his sight, they quickly slowed down and panted even more violently.
They really couldn't run anymore.
They are all elite warriors of the Wei Dynasty, and they are not here to run long distances.
If it was a matter of siege of a city and a life-and-death battle on the battlefield, they would be willing to fight against any enemy at all costs; but if it was such a high-tempo situation of running for dozens of miles at a stretch, with no one knowing how far they would have to travel next, they would
I really can't stand it.
No one can withstand it!
Well, except for the group of monsters in front.
Wang Shuang thought so too.
He seriously suspected that the thousand Shu soldiers in front of him were young long-distance runners specially selected by Ma Su from tens of thousands of Shu soldiers to deliberately deceive the Wei army.
Apart from running fast, these Shu soldiers must have no other advantages, and their combat effectiveness must be scum.
But even so, the word "quick" is enough to ensure that the Shu army remains invincible.
This "fast" is simple to say, but very difficult to achieve, because the Wei army is a cavalry. On the smooth Guanzhong Plain, if the Shu soldiers want to be faster than the Wei soldiers, how good their physique must be.
Can you live in it?
No wonder Ma Su only brought a thousand people.
Love is waiting for them here!
insidious,
So insidious!
In the first half month, the soldiers were sent to challenge the scolding array every day, scolding no matter how unpleasant it sounded. Although Wang Shuang plugged his own ears and pretended not to hear, he could not plug the ears of two thousand soldiers.
The soldiers were all furious, complaining that General Hao Zhao was useless, and suggested to him that they should ask General Hao Zhao for a battle.
With no other choice, Wang Shuang had no choice but to bite the bullet and request a decisive battle with the Shu army.
But he was rejected by Hao Zhao seven times in a row.
Today is the eighth time.
Wang Shuang originally thought that Hao Zhao would not agree to his request to fight.
Unexpectedly, Hao Zhao readily agreed.
This moved him and all the Wei army officers to tears. As a result, the entire army's impatience and anger finally found an outlet, and they rushed out of the city with great momentum, expecting a massacre...
However, the imagined scene did not appear.
As soon as they rushed out of the city, they saw the Shu soldiers lying on the ground rolling around and got up with a roar, dispersed like birds and beasts, scattered and disappeared.
This has resulted in the current situation being a bit awkward and a bit difficult to get off.
It doesn’t matter if you chase it, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t chase it.
Although it is foreseeable that the speed of Shu soldiers will not last long.
But time passed by moment by moment, and he saw that the Shu army had disappeared from sight for more than half an hour, and it was unknown where he had gone. Wang Shuang was so anxious that his throat was burning.
what to do?
At this time, it didn't matter whether he cared about the soldiers or not, he had no choice but to act like a bad general.
"Hurry up!"
"The one who catches up with the Shu army first will be the first to win and will be promoted to the third level! He will be rewarded with thousands of dollars!"
"Whoever captures Ma Su alive will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins and be rewarded with hundreds of households!"
"Soldiers, for the sake of fame and wealth, charge forward!"
Under Wang Shuang's verbal encouragement that he wanted no money (no counting), the Wei soldiers immediately summoned up their courage and rushed forward like chicken blood.
Fight for wealth!
The two generals gathered their horses and approached the general, hesitatingly asking: "General Wang, does this reward count?"
If they count, they also want to win the first prize.
According to the Wei army's military system, only generals at the chief general level can make empty promises of rewards in emergency situations (such as attacking a city or facing a desperate situation), but the rewards will only take effect after being reviewed by the superior general.
Of course, generally speaking, this kind of reward will be effective as long as it is promised.
Any superior general who has led soldiers will not deprive the soldiers of this reward unless he wants to provoke the soldiers to mutiny.
Therefore, the two generals wanted to know whether this promise was approved by the commander-in-chief Wang Shuang.
If they get it, they also want to grab the first prize (being the first to catch up with the Shu army) and the biggest credit (capturing Ma Di alive).
They have horses on their crotches!
Wang Shuang deliberately told the two of them that he had forgotten to ask Hao Zhao for this privilege when he came (normally, he would give it to him if he asked for it), but finally he bit the bullet and waved his hand:
"Count!"
"Do you have them all?"
"Everything is there!"
"Drive, drive, drive!" The two generals were overjoyed when they heard this. Without missing a second, they immediately reined in their horses and galloped away.
Wang Shuang urged his mount to pick up speed slowly, curled his lips slightly, and sneered:
