In Ma Di's imagination, the war between Wei and Xianbei had already begun at this time, and had even risen to a level of endless struggle.
If the hands moved faster and the strikes were harder, maybe the winner would have been decided by this time.
But now, there is an eerie silence on the flat ground in front of the stone city. The generals of both sides looked at each other from afar, chatting without any intention of starting a bloody battle immediately.
Kirby is definitely a grassland hero with great ambitions, and Qin Lang is definitely not a mediocre general waiting to be killed. Both of them know that this strange and peaceful situation will inevitably be broken, but no one knows when it will be broken.
Because the planned plan did not achieve the expected results, although the Wei army was trapped in a small area, its formation was not disordered and its morale was still there. Therefore, Kirby could only wait for a suitable opportunity before launching an attack; while Qin Lang ordered the soldiers of each battalion to camp.
Keep the fence tight and remain unchanged in the face of ever-changing circumstances.
The two sides reached a stalemate for the time being.
And Ma Su, a tiger in sheep's clothing, was sitting on the top of the mountain, leisurely observing the situation on the battlefield, and being ready to run away at any time.
If the two sides don't fight next, they will continue to be the driving force behind the scenes and push Wei and Xianbei to fight to the death. If both sides lose in the fight and are no longer able to fight, then pack up their belongings and take the great wizard and the four major generals with them.
Run away, look for the next opponent who can cause trouble for Wei, and continue to do the same thing to cause trouble for Wei.
This approach is the most effective strategy to check and balance a big country - this has been verified countless times in later generations.
Is Cao Wei very powerful? It doesn't matter, I will support an enemy (ally) at your doorstep, while providing military assistance to this enemy (ally) behind your back, while at the same time drawing fire from it and provoking a war between the two countries.
If one enemy is not enough, support two; if two are not enough, support a group of enemies.
In short, all the actions of the people behind the scenes are to plunge this hostile country into endless wars, thereby consuming a large amount of national power and military strength, in order to achieve the goal of constantly weakening the powerful enemy without using a single sword or soldier.
For Ma Di, as long as the Wei State is not at war with Shu Han, no matter which force it fights with, it will be profitable.
Earn blood!
However, after seeing the actions of Qin Lang and Kirby, Ma Su realized that this battle would not go so smoothly.
If the situation continues to be stalemate, he has reason to believe that Kirby will definitely hesitate to deal with the coming huge casualties, and the probability of Qin Lang breaking out will increase infinitely as time goes by - because this pocket formation has
The natural flaw is that the southern pass is very long and wide, and Kirby can only garrison 5,000 troops here.
This small amount of troops can barely stop the Wei army from breaking through. If they really have to fight for their lives, the Wei army can break out of the encirclement with at most 10,000 casualties.
Ma Su didn't know the specific direction the war situation would take. He could only rely on his own experience to judge - the simulator could only simulate the battlefield trend when he was the commander-in-chief.
In the afternoon, the mixed-race sisters got up...
The two sisters followed closely behind Yang Wanwan, shyly and bravely facing the scrutiny of everyone.
Yang Wanwan was obviously reluctant. These two Xianbei sisters did not fit his taste at all, but he did not make any move to drive them away.
In order to celebrate Yang Wanwan's two new wives, Zhang Xiu ran far away and shot back a silly roe deer.
The two sisters took over the job of barbecue chefs from Zhang Xiu without any hesitation. They were born and grew up in the grassland, and their best thing is barbecue, and they also carry barbecue spices with them.
When the aroma came out of the barbecue grill, everyone was completely controlled by the most primitive appetite, and other than eating, no other thoughts could be allowed in their minds.
The whole roe deer was quickly eaten by eight people, and everyone's stomach was full.
After eating the barbecue, Yang Wanwan still had some reluctance on his face, but his eyes towards the two sisters were not so alienated.
The overstuffed great wizard rubbed his waist and returned to the tent early.
At this time, Ma Su had time to look at the two sisters carefully.
From the aesthetic point of view of later generations, both sisters are great beauties.
My sister has a beautiful appearance, a petite and slim figure, and delicate skin. However, she looks a bit small, in every aspect, she looks like she is seventeen years old at most.
My sister is a top beauty, with big blue eyes, a high nose bridge, white skin, long legs, or because she has been married, her body proportions look very well proportioned and perfect.
According to the aesthetic standards of the Han people of this era, the two sisters are a bit different, which is one of the main reasons for Yang Wanwan's reluctance.
The reason why Li Sheng and Huang Xi chose two sisters was, firstly, because in that Xianbei tribe, the two sisters were the women whose looks were closest to those of the Han people.
Second, because they have followed Ma Su all year round, their aesthetic concepts have already surpassed this era and are on the same level as Ma Su. That is, oriental beauty and exotic beauty are not either/or, but can coexist.
They thought the sisters were very beautiful, especially the elder sister's blue eyes, which looked like amber, deep and charming.
However, the sisters were not popular among the Xianbei tribe, and their situation was even very embarrassing. Not only were the Han people of this era looking down upon them, but they were also almost ignored by the Xianbei tribe.
In terms of the definition of beauty, the original standard of the Xianbei people is that the waist is like a bucket, the butt is like a millstone, and the breast is as big as a drum.
After being influenced by Han culture, some Xianbei people with relatively high status began to gradually move closer to the Han people in their aesthetic values. They believed that Han women with fair skin and sweet voices were beautiful women, and they were all proud to marry a Han woman.
The Xianbei people at the bottom still follow the old aesthetic concepts. In their old concepts, women are not only an important labor force in the tribe, but also an important reproductive tool in the tribe. They are the hope for the tribe to reproduce, so
Women must be strong. The probability of death of a weak woman when reproducing offspring is so great that no one is willing to take such a risk and marry back an uncertain factor.
The two sisters are stuck between the old and the new beauty standards. Therefore, in the Xianbei tribe, where women usually get married at the age of fifteen, no one wants the younger sister until she is seventeen; the elder sister is not married until she is eighteen.
She got a husband, but soon became a widow, and she still hasn't found a new wife - this is the second main reason for Yang Wanwan's reluctance.
He didn't want a woman that no one in Xianbei wanted.
Spending a night together was already a compromise after he lowered his standards a lot. It was absolutely impossible to marry him back home.
However, after eating a delicious barbecue, Yang Wanwan's insistence relaxed slightly.
Huang Xi, Li Sheng, and Zhang Xiu looked at Yang Wanwan with gritted teeth. If they hadn't been unable to beat him, they would have swarmed up and beat up the guy holding the cup.
Ma Su also thought that his sister's blue eyes were very beautiful, and he was staring at her, thinking in his mind which ethnic group his sister was from. Mixed Han and Xianbei people would not be able to give birth to such beautiful eyes, at least they would have to be added.
A country among the thirty-six countries in the Upper Western Region.
Yang Baiwan looked at his sister, then at Ma Su, and asked tentatively:
"The General wants her?"
"I will eventually be willing to give up my love."
Hearing this, my sister suddenly panicked and looked at Yang Wanwan pitifully, fearing that he would give her away.
Ma Su glanced at the corner of the curtain of the tent under the big locust tree, and felt a slight wave of emotion in his heart. He secretly said: If he agrees to this proposal, the great wizard will arrive at the battlefield within five seconds.
So he turned back and looked at Yang Wanwan seriously: "Next time you ask such a stupid question, your salary for a year will be gone."
After that, he stood up and walked away.
To be dignified is to walk upright and sit up straight, not to be moved by women's lust.
Yang Baiwan scratched his head angrily and turned to look at Li Sheng: "Old Li, do you want to..."
"I don't want to!" Li Sheng stood up suddenly with an arrogant look on his face: "I don't want things that others have touched."
Yang Baiwan sighed and looked at Huang Xi: "Old Huang..."
Huang Xi raised his hand to interrupt him and left without saying a word.
Zhang Xiu didn't wait for Yang Wanwan to look over, got up and ran away.
Unable to send the sisters flowers, Yang Wanwan was suddenly depressed and couldn't help himself.
The two sisters were so happy that they couldn't help themselves.
It's not easy to find a man who likes her, who is so handsome and can fight... The joy in the hearts of the two sisters is like the overflowing of the Yellow River, out of control.
Yang Wanwan said to the two sisters seriously: "You can follow me, but you must abide by the rules of the Han people, otherwise I will give you to others."
The two sisters looked at Yang Baiwan's handsome face and nodded in agreement. Men like fair-skinned and beautiful women, and women also like fair-skinned and handsome men.
A handsome and capable man like Yang Wanwan is their dream destination.
Fortunately, I finally got my wish.
………
On the third day when the Wei army was trapped in Shicheng, Kirby thought twice and decided to launch an all-out attack. At first, he thought that the morale of the Wei army was not as high as before. At the same time, he was also worried that if it took too long, reinforcements from Wei would come.
Come on, there are too many variables at that time.
What prompted Kirby to make this determination was Ma Di's words: "Tian Yu's 30,000 Wei troops are still stationed in Daijun and Shanggu, not far from Shicheng. If the delay continues, either Wei will be defeated or Xianbei will perish."
Kirby had no choice.
In the morning, the Xianbei people's general attack officially began. Seventy thousand Xianbei cavalry attacked the Wei army camp from all directions at the same time.
"General! The Xianbei people are attacking!" Su Shang strode into the commander's tent, his voice full of urgency.
Qin Lang looked up at him calmly, then stood up, picked up the helmet next to him, put it on his head, and strode out of the camp.
It was a mess outside, with countless soldiers running around him.
"Which direction do the Xianbei people attack?"
"Shicheng Road is the main attack, and the other three roads are feint attacks."
At this moment, the battle situation has turned from an initial trial to a fierce exchange of fire. The rumble of war drums shook the sky, and arrows filled the sky like locusts.
The Xianbei people divided into four directions and aimed at the Wei camp and fired arrows wildly. The Wei army did not show any weakness and began to fight back fiercely. Every time the Xianbei people fired, it was as if a huge black wave rose into the sky and fell into the Wei army with unstoppable force.
Camp.
However, the archers of the Wei army were unable to take into account all aspects, and were visibly at a disadvantage in the exchange of fire.
However, even at a disadvantage, the Wei army still launched a resolute counterattack. This burst of energy after being trapped in a desperate situation made Kirby Neng look at him with suspicion.
The Xianbei people's crossbow attack only caused heavy casualties to the Wei army at first, but soon the Wei army used shields to stabilize their position.
After half an hour of arrow rain, the Xianbei cavalry finally launched an attack.
Relying on the camp, the Wei army repelled wave after wave of Xianbei attacks.
Qin Lang calmly issued instructions one after another, trying to make the Wei army's defense more orderly. The 50-50 situation made him seem to see a glimmer of victory.
Kirby could hold his sword high to hold down the position, constantly urging the Xianbei warriors to attack the Wei army camp.
After seeing the strength of the Wei army's resistance, Kirby knew clearly that the battle was not as easy as he imagined. The Wei army's combat effectiveness was still as strong as ever, and its morale was more cohesive than imagined.
If Tian Yu's reinforcements arrive at this time, the Xianbei people will face a counter-siege situation, the offensive and defensive forces will change instantly, and the dominant side will become the Wei army.
Fortunately, such a thing did not happen. Tian Yu's troops did not know whether they were lost or in other situations. The Wei army was besieged in Shicheng for three days, and he did not lead his troops to rescue them.
The war on the plains below the mountain became more and more intense, and soon reached a fever pitch.
Everyone on the mountain watched with great interest. Fighting by oneself can never be as leisurely and comfortable as watching others fight. That kind of transcendent yet immersive feeling made the four generals so happy that they took off.
While they commented on the response strategies of both sides, they put themselves into the battlefield and thought about what the best choice would be when they faced this situation.
Ma Su did not disturb the four generals, but stood not far from them, observing the battle at the foot of the mountain.
Soon, two hours passed, and both sides had suffered heavy casualties. Countless corpses were lying inside and outside the Wei army's camp, and tragic scenes filled the entire battlefield.
Under Kirbineng's command, the Xianbei people's main attack direction was unpredictable, sometimes left and right, sometimes forward and sometimes behind. However, because the Wei army's troops were gathered together, they could not rest for a moment during the whole process. The soldiers had reached the critical point of fatigue.
Point, fighting completely relying on the instinct of survival.
Although this instinctive will is very powerful, it cannot last long. Once fatigue takes over the body again, the defeat of the Wei army will follow.
It seems that victory or defeat is irreversible.
"General, break out of the encirclement and keep the green hills. Don't worry about running out of firewood."
Su Shang's face was covered with black dirt mixed with sweat and soil. He held a shield to block the stray arrows that came from time to time, and shouted over his shoulder.
Dozens of personal guards held up shields to form a human wall to block the outside, adding another layer of insurance for the coach.
Qin Lang's expression changed, and he murmured to himself: "The Wei Dynasty has been defeated... The Wei Dynasty has been defeated... Your Majesty has told me not to underestimate the enemy and rush in..."
Qin Lang's voice was full of despair when he thought of the serious consequences of failure.
