Guo Huai looked at Ma Su who suddenly appeared in front of him in disbelief. Just as he was about to say "You are Ma Su", he saw a cold flash in the latter's eyes. At the same time, the Wei army... to be precise, it was the Shu army. , has fully taken over the North Gate, Guo Huai's overwhelming momentum suddenly burst out, and he slowly lowered his head, his voice filled with uncontrollable frustration and frustration.
"The guilty one pleads guilty."
He chose to make an honorable exit as a soldier.
As long as the identity of this army and Xia Hougui is not exposed, he will be dismissed by Wei Lord Cao Rui; once the identity is exposed, it will be dereliction of duty, incompetence, and shameful relocation.
How to choose is self-evident.
Watching the Shu soldiers escort Guo Huai into the formation, Ma Di raised his eyes and looked at Chencang City, his heart was a little excited.
This fortified city that even the Soldier Immortal Han Xin had to sneak across to capture had been captured twice by him in just four years.
Although the two captures of Chencang were achieved by sneak attacks and deceiving the city, this is already very remarkable.
This time, there is nothing that can be done to give up Chencang City.
Ma Su walked up to the tower and overlooked the city. A powerful aura slowly gathered around him. He looked over the Wei soldiers below who were holding weapons and bewildered. He opened his arms and uttered a sentence like a bolt from the blue:
"I am Ma Su, the general of the Han Dynasty conquering the west. Those who put down their weapons will live, and those who resist will die!"
Wow!
As if a nuclear bomb exploded in the crowd,
All the Wei soldiers let out a terrifying inhalation sound, and at the same time, everyone's eyes widened, looking at the majestic figure on the tower in disbelief, as if they couldn't believe that Ma Di would actually appear in Chencang City.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Ma Su smiled slightly and repeated: "Those who put down their weapons will live, and those who resist will die!"
Dang clang——
As the first sword fell to the ground, the sound of "dang-cang, dang-cang" became a symphony.
Half a day later, all five thousand defenders inside and outside Chencang City surrendered.
There were originally 10,000 Wei soldiers stationed here. Due to the tense situation in Dasanguan these days, Guo Huai transferred 5,000 of them to help Hao Zhao, so only 5,000 were left.
In other words, there are at least 10,000 Wei soldiers at Dashan Pass at this moment.
But these 10,000 soldiers and horses were made dumplings by the northern and southern armies, a total of 40,000 Shu troops.
But they don't know yet that they have been made dumplings.
After a little rectification, Ma Su sent Xia Hougui to lead three thousand troops to approach Dashan Pass, and sent a message to Axiu with an eagle, agreeing to cooperate internally and externally to capture Dashan Pass and capture Hao Zhao alive.
Considering that since ancient times, no matter how steep the pass, it was like tofu when attacking from the inside, Ma Di did not go to the battlefield in person this time, choosing to sit in Chencang to appease the newly surrendered Wei soldiers.
At the mouth of Hulu Valley, at the foot of Dashan Pass.
Axiu was wearing the male version of the armor and had completely stepped into the role of Ma Su. The Shu soldiers were also firing on all cylinders. Under the cover of the newly formed four or five high-level catapults, they bravely charged towards Guan Guan.
Although the Shu army is powerful, well-equipped, and has many soldiers, the situation is still very critical. The soldiers are condescending and taking advantage of the geographical advantage. Rolling wood, stones, bows and arrows seem to be endless, and they are used inexhaustibly. The cry of killing resounds through the sky, and the scene is shocking. human heart.
On the pass, Hao Zhao looked solemn.
Looking at the brave Shu soldiers who were not afraid of death, he lost consciousness for a moment.
Although the casualty ratio of soldiers on both sides was five to one, if the fighting continued like this, the entire army would have to be annihilated.
He knew very well that the total number of Shu troops was 50,000 or more, not the 30,000 that were displayed in the open, which meant that there were still 20,000 to 30,000 Shu troops hiding in the dark, waiting for opportunities.
On the other hand, the Wei army only had 10,000 troops.
The longer the battle went on, the uneasiness in Hao Zhao's heart became stronger.
what to do?
what to do?
what to do?
Hao Zhao looked at the city again. Although the Shu soldiers had lost four to five thousand people, it seemed that there were still many more. If the opponent charged desperately, the Wei soldiers would definitely not be able to stop them.
Even if the enemy is pressed for urgency, it is not impossible for the opponent to bypass Dashan Pass and take the Chencang Fork Road to the Chencang Weishui Channel.
If the Shu soldiers really do this, Dashan Pass will lose its strategic significance.
It is precisely with this in mind that Hao Zhaocai sent as few soldiers as possible when guarding the pass, hoping to give the "Ma Di" under the pass the illusion that "this pass can be entered", and then destroy all the soldiers here.
I have to say that this strategy has been successful so far.
But the bad thing is that "Ma Su" took it seriously and refused to retreat until the end.
Hao Zhao was very conflicted, but as the battle progressed, he soon no longer cared about it.
The soldiers came to report that the reinforcements sent by General Guo Huai once again have arrived!
"It came just in time."
"It can just make up for the huge battle damage."
Hao Zhao stuck out his tongue and licked his chapped lips, and without turning back he ordered: "Tell them to shut down and stand by. I will come later."
The soldier hesitated for a moment and said, "General, I have something so minor that I don't know whether to take it seriously or not."
Hao Zhao was startled and turned to stare at the soldiers.
The soldier Qi Qi Ai Ai said: "Can three thousand infantry fight against 30,000 infantry head-on?"
ah?!
What kind of weird question is this?
Hao Zhao looked straight at the soldiers, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The soldier pointed to the bottom of the pass and said: "Well, the leading general of the three thousand soldiers who came to support just now said: they are going out of the pass to fight to the death with the Shu army..."
"Hiss!" Hao Zhao looked over and saw that the gate of the pass was open, and a large group of "Wei soldiers" held their weapons high and were laying a plank in front of the pass.
"Nonsense!"
"stop!"
"return!"
Hao Zhao shouted three times angrily and waved his arms wildly downward, trying to stop these stupid "Wei soldiers".
However, no one paid any attention to him.
Hao Zhao suddenly felt something bad. Before he could ask who the general was, he quickly ordered the soldiers to close the gate.
"Quick, quick, close the pass exit!"
Still no one paid attention to him.
To be precise, some soldiers heard the order and planned to close the city gate, but they were shouted back by the reinforcements general.
Hao Zhao took a closer look and suddenly lost his temper.
It's Xiahou's regulations.
If this person doesn't guard Xiegu, why is he here?
Hao Zhao rushed down the pass in two steps, holding a knife, and rushed over angrily, intending to settle accounts with Xia Hougui.
As soon as they came down the pass, earth-shattering shouts of killing rang out from outside the pass. From a distance, Hao Zhao saw a dark mass of Shu troops scrambling to squeeze into the pass, waving their weapons at the Wei army who did not have the black gauze mark on their arms.
A sudden outburst.
In just a moment, the Wei army was in chaos and defeated.
Hao Zhao understood everything in an instant.
He gritted his molars, stamped his feet, and climbed the mountain with a group of trusted soldiers.
His superb military qualities told him that he could not stay here for long, and if he followed the original route back to Chencang City, he would be falling into a trap.
Amid the shouts of death, Hao Zhao climbed to the top of a low mountain without looking back. When he looked back, he froze instantly.
The pass has completely fallen into the control of the Shu army, and the screams of the Wei soldiers echoed down the mountain, lingering in the ears and penetrating the soul.
Hao Zhao slowly knelt down, kowtowed to the foot of the mountain with tears in his eyes, and said sadly: "Soldiers, I can't stop you. I'm escaping alone. How can I see your Majesty, and how can I survive?"
World……"
As soon as he said this, the more than a hundred soldiers who followed him and escaped burst into tears.
Failure is frustrating, and inexplicable failure is even more frustrating, uncomfortable, and makes you want to cry.
Hao Zhao pulled out his sword and put it on his neck, but he couldn't kill him.
It wasn't that he didn't want to kill himself to apologize, or that he couldn't do it, but the sword was blocked by the fleshy palms of the soldiers.
"General, victory or defeat is a common matter for military officers. Don't be short-sighted..."
"General!"
"General!"
"Alas..." Hao Zhao sighed up to the sky, nodded with tears in his eyes, released his sword, and disappeared into the vast mountains surrounded by soldiers.
The sound of fighting gradually faded away.
The drums and horns no longer argue.
The world fell into silence.
The moon sets and the sun rises, darkness alternates with light, and the day passes in the blink of an eye.
When the morning sun rose the next day, Ma Su opened his eyes with a smile on his lips. The great wizard was lying beside him, his jade muscles were dizzy, his eyebrows were green and his face was pretty, like a fairy descending to earth.
A beam of golden sunlight shines in through the window, and dust stirs in the beam.
Ma Su turned over and climbed up, walking out of the inner room.
While changing my clothes, I silently thought about the reactions of the monarchs and ministers of Cao Wei and Wei, especially Sima Yi, after learning about the "dramatic changes in Guanzhong".
Come to think of it, it must be wonderful.
Within two days, Xiegu Pass fell and the entire army was annihilated; Wuzhangyuan fell and the entire army was annihilated; Chencang City fell and the entire army was annihilated; Dashan Pass fell and the entire army was annihilated!
The impact of these four breaking news should be no less than that of "Guan Yu flooded seven armies" and "Liangzhou fell" a few days ago.
