Xu Shen was making a lot of noise while being tied up, so Ma Su found a piece of cloth to plug his ears, so that he couldn't hear or feel bothered.
The army continued to advance, and soon reached the foot of Mount Gu.
Ma Su stopped the army, reined in his horse and looked around.
I saw that the mountains here are steep, the valleys are deep and secluded, there is no one on the ancient road that is not too wide, the birds are silent in the dense mountain forest, and the wild beasts are invisible.
It was eerily quiet all around.
Not good... Ma Su felt a chill in his heart.
The military common sense he had developed over several months of commanding troops told him that this place was extremely suitable for an army to ambush.
If Zhang He really planned to attack the east and attack the west, he would definitely choose to ambush here!
Ma Su's heart was full of warning signs, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it became that this was possible.
Just as he was about to send troops up the mountain to conduct a detailed investigation, he suddenly heard a series of small noises coming from his side.
Xu Shen, who was tied into a rice dumpling, was carried across the horse's back. His body swayed as the horse moved forward. At this moment, he was struggling to raise his head, and his lips kept opening and closing.
But no sound came out.
Seeing his anxious expression, Ma Su raised his hand and took out the cloth and listened.
A high-decibel sound instantly drowned him.
"General, don't go any further, the Prime Minister will be angry."
"General, it's time to turn back and find the right shore!"
"General, go deep alone, be careful of ambush!"
"General..."
Crow's mouth... Ma Di glared at Xu Shen angrily, looked around, and said confidently: "I have been familiar with military books since I was a child, how can I not know about military aircraft?"
"Come here, go up the mountain to investigate quickly!"
Li Sheng accepted the order with his hands raised, but before he could take action, he saw a man standing on the mountainside, laughing loudly and saying:
"Hahaha... I'm a good man, Zhang has been waiting here for a long time."
"Kill!"
"Capture Ma Su alive and destroy Hanzhong!"
Following this order, countless heads emerged from the hillside and dense forest, and rushed down the mountain brandishing weapons.
At the same time, an unknown number of Wei cavalry appeared at the corner of the ancient road to the west. The two generals in front of them were fierce and fierce, and they rushed towards them with overwhelming murderous intent.
Emergency moment.
"Canglang" sound.
Ma Di drew out his long sword, cut off the rope behind Xu Shen's back, threw a spear to the latter, and shouted:
"Xiao Xu, protect me!"
Xu Shen silently took the spear and stood by his side.
Zhang Xiu and Li Sheng led the Shu troops without hesitation and launched a counterattack against the Wei army.
They all know that they can't escape at this time. At this moment, there is no other way but to fight head-on.
When we meet on a narrow road, only the brave will win!
A fierce battle raged from noon until the sun set in the west.
Wei has many soldiers, and the more they fight, the more brave they become; although Shu's soldiers are few, they are not cowardly.
But the casualties were a bit high.
Fortunately, after the Shu soldiers paid some price, they held on to the road. The Wei cavalry was blocked in the mountain road and was unable to exert its impact.
We can only rely on the numerical advantage to slowly grind it out.
Ma Su rode his horse at the rear of the military formation, and felt greatly relieved as he watched the heroic appearance of his soldiers fighting bloody battles.
"Although our army is in decline, it does not appear to be defeated for a while. Not bad!"
"However, continuing to fight like this is not an option.'
After a while, seeing that there were fewer and fewer soldiers under his command, Ma Di couldn't sit still.
Just as they were about to make arrangements, tighten the fence and fight and retreat, they saw a man and a horse leaping down from the hillside on the other side, waving a long knife, and rushing over from the flank.
This man came very quickly and was fifty feet away in the blink of an eye.
It's Zhang He!
You don't need to look at it to know that Zhang He must have seen that the cohesion of the Shu army was so high that it was difficult to win quickly, so he resorted to the trick of "taking the enemy general's head in the midst of thousands of troops".
The target is Ma Youchang, the leader of the Shu army.
Ma Su's eyes widened for a moment, and more than a hundred Chinese curse words were stuck in his throat. He didn't know which sentence to spit out first to relieve his anger.
"Zhang He, what the hell...can't you afford it?"
"You're really going to pick on me as a weakling?"
"Why don't you go and challenge Lu Bu, Zhang Fei, and Guan Yu!"
"I'm sorry!"
Ma Su looked around and found that there was nowhere to escape, and his heart suddenly became cold.
In fact, he could still run back, but he didn't dare to do so.
On the battlefield, if a general escapes from battle, the morale of his soldiers will instantly sink to the bottom, and the entire army will be wiped out in an instant.
Although the stalemate continues, the Shu army may still be unable to escape defeat, but it will not cause the entire army to be annihilated.
"General, don't panic, I'll stop him!" Xu Shen shouted, riding his horse and charging towards Zhang He with his gun drawn:
"Hey, don't hurt my general!"
The two of them instantly exchanged hands and passed by each other.
Zhang He ignored Xu Shen and went straight to Ma Di to kill him.
When the two sides were twenty feet apart, Zhang He raised his long sword, and the sinister smile on the corner of his mouth was clearly visible.
Seeing this, Xu Shen became anxious and shouted quickly: "General, run!"
In the flash of lightning, Ma Su quickly made a decision and inserted a sword into his crotch...
On the mount's butt.
run!
Although it was only in a simulated scene, he didn't want to die.
Especially I don't want to die by Zhang He's sword.
It's true that I was scared of the knife by this guy.
As a general, Ma Su was dignified, but he was always cut off by Zhang He, which made him lose face.
Although others didn't know that he had been cut by Zhang He many times in simulated scenes.
The mount "Herod" screamed, and before Zhang He's sword came down, he let go and rushed towards the way he came.
In an instant, he rushed out ten feet.
Zhang He's sword failed, so he reined in his horse and gave chase.
But after only pursuing him for twenty or thirty feet, he brandished his long knife bitterly and stopped in front of him with a depressed look on his face.
He could no longer see Ma Su's pony tail.
After Ma Di's horse was frightened, it was like a tornado.
The shadow disappeared in an instant.
He can't catch up!
Zhang He reined in his horse and turned around, angrily killing Xu Shen who stayed where he was.
…
Ma Su fled back to Lueyang Tucheng and ordered the soldiers to close the city gate. As soon as he calmed down from the shock, he saw the dark Wei soldiers coming from the road.
Zhang He took the lead, holding a human head in his hand, with blood dripping down "puff, plop".
Very fierce.
Such a scene made Ma Su realize that the entire army under his command, Zhang Xiu, Li Sheng, Xu Shen and five thousand Shu soldiers, had been wiped out.
Suddenly my heart was filled with sadness.
Fortunately, Lueyang Tucheng and Weixian Tucheng each had 3,000 troops. If he and Huang Xi held one city each, they would be enough to hold off Zhang He's army.
Zhang He did not choose to attack the city. He only walked around the city and showed off his power before leading his army to retreat.
The Shu army scouts chased for more than a hundred miles, but found no trace of Zhang He's army.
Ma Di took a long breath and ordered the soldiers to take strict precautions and not to slack off. They stood firm in the city and waited for the arrival of Zhuge Liang's army.
Just when Ma Su thought he had escaped death, the simulation would end in this situation...
That night, Zhang He repeated his old tricks and sent his troops down the mountain to attack Lueyang Tucheng.
When Ma Su woke up from his sleep, he was already trapped in the bed by Zhang He.
No pants on.
Zhang He glanced over with disdain and swung his sword to chop down...
Blood spattered and the scene shattered instantly.
Ma Su yelled, covered his crotch with his hands and returned to reality.
As the light screen flashed, a voice announcement followed.
【This simulation is over.】
【You haven't understood anything.】
[Evaluation: The host abandoned the army and fled during this battle, and his behavior of trying to survive was contrary to the military style of this era and greatly disappointed the soldiers.]
[Because the host’s commander attribute has reached full level (cannot be comprehended), the system is about to be upgraded. The upgrade process will last for seven days. During the upgrade process, except for the Sims, other functions of the system can still be used. 】
[Since this upgrade process takes a long time, the host will be compensated with 200 stability points. 】
【Your prestige-20】
[You are more stable +210...]
It has only been a while since the system was upgraded again... Ma Su opened his personal attributes with an expressionless face.
Name: Ma Su.
Force: 48 (Wen Yi, Wu Mo).
Intelligence: 72 (Wu San, Wen Mo San).
Prestige: 45 (can command up to 30,000 troops. Note 1: Under this prestige, the fewer troops it commands, the higher the cohesion of the soldiers; Note 2: Cohesion is not completely equal to combat effectiveness).
Ma Su thought for a while, clicked on the "System Mall", and bought another five thousand stone grains. After buying it, he found that the icon instantly changed for the better without cooling down.
This shows that the Xiqiang people have food and do not need to wait.
Ma Su curiously clicked to buy food again.
This time the icon appears with the cooldown time: 1/29.
A day flies by in a blink of an eye.
Early the next morning.
Imperial Master Yadan came to Lueyang Tucheng with his third purchase of grain. When he met him, he handed over his hands and said, "Sir, there is not a grain of grain left in our tribe, but my king is still willing to devote himself to the prime minister's restoration of the Han Dynasty."
All of it.”
"But...I have come here this time to make an unkind request, and I hope the general will grant it."
Ma Di thanked him repeatedly and said, "If the Imperial Master has something to say, he will tell you everything he knows."
Imperial Master Yadan thought for a while: "I want to learn the Prime Minister's way of governing the country, which is the secret of monopolizing power while claiming to be loyal to the Han Dynasty."
Hearing this, Ma Su's face darkened: "What nonsense are you talking about? Today's prime minister is the most holy and wise man. He is devoted to the king! He is devoted to helping the Han Dynasty!"
Imperial Master Yadan was overjoyed: "Yes, yes, that's what I said, that's what I said."
