Spring, March 20th, the sixth year of Jianxing (228 years).
As soon as Ma Su left, Zhang He mobilized his army to the street pavilion and set up camp again on the river beach.
Compared with the previous time, Zhang He had more soldiers and horses this time, with fewer uncontrollable factors, and his momentum to regain the situation was also higher.
All the wild beasts within a few dozen miles were killed by Wei soldiers!
After the army was entrenched, Zhang He immediately ordered Guo Huai to lead 10,000 troops and horses as the front, and the troops reached the lower village at Daokou, Longgui.
At that time, Guo Huaigang led hundreds of people to break out from Shanggui City in embarrassment, went around the mountains and ridges, and rushed to the street pavilion to join the army.
The two people, who had just experienced a tragic defeat, hit it off immediately and were gearing up to defeat the Shu army and regain the lost ground and face.
For this reason, Guo Huai, who was the governor of Yongzhou, did not hesitate to lower his status and actively asked for the position of pioneer.
After Guo Huai led his troops, Zhang He went up to Nanshan in person and looked down at the terrain around the street pavilion.
When he saw the large semi-natural puddle on the mountain, Zhang He was stunned and speechless.
After a long while, Fang sighed: "Wonderful, wonderful!"
Dai Ling immediately looked confused and asked, "General, what's so wonderful about this?"
Zhang He pointed at the huge sinkhole in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Ma Su was sure that our army would not bypass the street pavilion, so he dug pits on the mountain to store water in advance to prevent our army from encircling the mountain and cutting off its way to collect water. This is the arrangement.
, I really expected the enemy to be ahead of me, but this general is no better than me, so this defeat is not unjust!"
At this point, Zhang He paused, pointed at the green-mouthed tree stumps on the mountainside of Nanshan, and continued: "In order to prevent our army from setting fire to the mountain, Ma Di ordered the soldiers to cut down all the trees in Nanshan in advance. This man... was so cautious.
!”
Zhang He doesn't need to say much about what happened next. Dai Ling was also a witness and knew what happened.
After Ma Di set up camp on the mountain, he ordered his soldiers to start scolding battles every day, which provoked the Wei army to attack the mountain. As a result, four to five thousand corpses of the Wei army were discarded on the mountainside without anyone to clean them up. This in turn attracted wolves, and then he ordered the army's best animal exorcists to lead the army.
Come to the herd...
The trends of the battle are closely linked, as if they have been rehearsed in advance, which makes people think deeply and creepily.
Zhang He was greatly moved and looked at the Longgui crossing more than ten miles away - that is where Ma Su was stationed.
Looking from a distance, the quiescent Shu army looks like a beast that chooses and devours people, lying in the mountains and fields, silently waiting for the intruders to reveal their flaws...
One hit kill!
This person is difficult to deal with... Zhang He felt stern in his heart.
A look of surprise appeared on Dai Ling's face: "Listen to the general and you will know why our army was defeated."
Zhang He nodded and sighed: "If you know why I am defeated, you will know how to win. In this way, the army can fight a hundred battles without danger."
"However, with such a commander-in-chief, the Shu army is actually the biggest enemy of our Wei army. Please remember that if you encounter Ma Di in the wild, you should be careful when dealing with him."
Hearing this, Dai Ling was a little unconvinced: "Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs. How can a general gain the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige? Our army still has 780,000 soldiers and horses, and we are still in an advantageous position. Although we were defeated in the first battle, it is not difficult to defeat us later.
!”
"Besides, this Ma Su can only defend and did not send a single soldier during the whole process. The beast tide may be a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, but not necessarily."
"The general has already found out that Ma Di had already garrisoned 10,000 horses on the mountain. If the general changes his position and uses troops, he will take advantage of the tide of beasts. When our army is exhausted and the position is in chaos, he will lead his army to kill and come down the mountain to gain the victory.
Total victory!"
"But from beginning to end, he just sat on the top of the mountain."
"From this point of view, Ma Su is nothing more than mediocre!"
"This..." Zhang He was stunned, unable to refute, and suddenly felt that what Dai Ling said made sense.
Think about it from another perspective, if he uses troops, he will definitely seize this fleeting opportunity and give his opponent a fatal blow.
But why did Ma Su turn a blind eye to such fighters?
It shouldn't be.
Could it be that there is something hidden in it?
What could be the secret?
Zhang He was puzzled for a long time.
While he was deep in thought, he suddenly heard Dai Ling ask, "General, the Shu army is divided into three groups to guard the main road. Where should our army advance?"
Zhang He came back to his senses and waved his hands repeatedly: "No hurry! The Shu army is guarding the road and has already set up camp. A strong attack will inevitably suffer losses. I was defeated previously and lost more than 20,000 soldiers, which has made Your Majesty very dissatisfied.
, you should act more cautiously at this time.”
"Although three of the five counties in Longxi have been lost today, only Guangwei is left, and the two counties in Longxi are struggling to hold on. However, Governor Cao Zhen has already sent 100,000 troops to attack Hanzhong. If I don't predict, Zhuge Liang will personally lead it within ten days.
The army came back to save us."
"Once Zhuge Liang's army retreats, all the three Shu armies here will become rootless. At that time, my troops will be divided into three groups and follow them to cover up and kill them. Not only will we win a complete victory, but the counties in Longxi will also decide on their own without fighting!"
Dai Ling accepted the plan and took orders to inform all the troops, guard the camp, and closely monitor the movements of the Shu army. If there was any abnormal movement, he would report it immediately.
The armies of Shu and Wei were in a strange stalemate at the street pavilion.
Zhang He stood high and looked at Ma Su's military camp in the distance every day, sneering secretly in his heart.
'Ma Su, Ma Su, you are just a Confucian scholar after all. You don't know the changes on the battlefield. I am waiting for you to withdraw your troops so that I can follow behind and kill you.'
'What are you waiting for?'
'You are waiting to die!'
"Ah...hahaha..." Thinking of his success, Zhang He couldn't help but laugh up to the sky. There were echoes in the valley, and birds flew away in all directions.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Longgui Daokou, the camp of the Shu army.
It wasn't until he heard the "ding" sound that Ma Su breathed a long sigh of relief, and his hanging heart finally returned to his stomach.
God knows how he got here these ten days.
The food is not tasty and I dare not sleep at night.
As soon as I close my eyes, I have nightmares all night long.
In the dream, Zhang He held a knife in his hands fiercely, urging the army to break through the Shu army camp, and killed his head with one knife...
No matter how many strategies and wisdom Ma Su had, he could not do anything in this situation where the two armies were facing each other and fighting at hand-to-hand combat.
At this time, the role of the commander is minimal. After all, the victory or defeat must be determined by the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.
Unfortunately, he only had 10,000 new soldiers under his command, while Zhang He had more than 70,000 veterans.
With such a comparison of combat power, no matter how you look at it, it looks like you have a big word "death" on your head.
Ma Su suppressed his chaotic thoughts, closed his eyes, and couldn't wait to start simulating the battle situation...
[Ding, the Three Kingdoms Life Simulator is launched, you will get the first chance to simulate life this month...]
[One day later, you deployed suspicious troops at the Long-Jiu crossing and quietly withdrew 10,000 infantry to Hanzhong. You sent an order to Wang Ping and Gao Xiang to evacuate the street pavilion one day later. Lieutenant General Wang Ping thought this was a betrayal, so he
Leading 15,000 troops and horses, we retreated from the intersection before you and returned to Hanzhong. At the same time, Lieutenant General Gao Xiang cursed you for not knowing military skills, commanding indiscriminately, and being as timid as a mouse, putting him in danger.
We have 10,000 troops and horses to evacuate Liliucheng before Wang Ping’s army.]
[Three days later, Wei Yan, Wang Ping, and Gao Xiang successfully retreated to Hanzhong. You were overtaken by Zhang He's 70,000-strong army and had to retreat to Tianshui Gucheng."
