Chapter 61 The war can be lost, but Ma Di must die!
In order to win this battle of Jianwei, Ma Su specially mobilized a Wudang Flying Army - the Wudang Flying Army is the most powerful special forces in the Shu Han Dynasty. There are five units in total, each with about 5,000 people.
Wudang Feijun is proficient in the use of crossbows and poisonous arrows, and is particularly good at field warfare, especially defensive warfare.
During the previous Battle of Jieting, Zhuge Liang led 25,000 men to guard Jieting. The 25,000 men were supposed to be five unworthy flying troops. Later, I don’t know why, but 20,000 of them turned out to be
As new soldiers, only the 5,000 men (one unit) led by the partial general Wang Ping were useless as a flying army.
Ma Di has always blamed Yang Yi for this incident, thinking that the latter was obstructing it and had bad intentions.
in a simulation scenario.
Wudang Feijun was wearing iron armor, holding a sawn-off small pickaxe in one hand, a weapon in the other, and carrying a bow and arrow pot on his back. His hair was disheveled and he roared in.
Climbing over mountains and ridges is like walking on flat ground.
It doesn't look like an elite troop marching to fight, but more like a migrant workers group carrying out outdoor infrastructure construction.
The news that Ma Su led 5,000 men to seize Jianwei reached Zhang He, who immediately dispatched his general Dai Ling to lead 10,000 troops to garrison at South Longkou, preparing to block the Shu army from attacking north.
Previously, Shu soldiers had come to seize Jianwei several times, and Zhang He used this strategy to retreat from the enemy.
Once Nanlongkou is blocked, the Shu soldiers will be unable to advance even an inch.
Jianwei City is located in a depression in the northwest of Xi County, about eighty miles away from Xi County and more than one hundred miles away from Sima Yi's camp encamped in Beishan.
Jianwei City is surrounded by mountains and rolling hills. There is only one straight dirt road with V-shaped undulations, passing through the city from north to south. The lowest point in the middle of the V-shape is right in the middle of Jianwei City. The exit to the north is called Beilongkou.
The southern exit is Nanlongkou.
For the Wei cavalry who were accustomed to charging and fighting in the plains, the terrain here was not very friendly to them.
Because this area is easy to attack and difficult to defend, no matter what angle you attack from, it will always be an upward attack.
But this place is one of the two major roads to Longnan, so it is very critical.
Ma Su's army was the fastest. At dusk on the first day, the army arrived twenty miles outside Nanlongkou.
Wei general Dai Ling has been waiting here for a long time.
War is about to break out.
In this offensive and defensive battle, it all depends on whose soldiers are stronger and tougher.
The two newly promoted generals persuaded Dai Ling to camp on the spot, guard the crossing, and never confront Ma Di head-on. Wudang Feijun had just won a great victory outside Chencang City not long ago. The victory was great and the troops were brave. Moreover, this army
Although the number of people is not large, one can be equal to ten, so it is better to avoid the limelight.
Governor Sima and General Zhang He often said: Be more steady, that's right.
Dai Ling rejected the proposal with a wave of his hand.
He believed that the Wei army was outnumbered, but suffered successive defeats and was constantly being defended and beaten, and its morale was about to sink to the bottom. If this stronghold (Nanlongkou) is occupied by Ma Su again, the morale of the army will inevitably be unstable, and the situation will be difficult to deal with.
.
The most important thing is that there are many others and few Ma Su. He wants to meet Ma Su head-on.
He wanted to wash away the shame of being wiped out due to a "natural disaster" last time.
He wants revenge!
By the way, the merit is reduced to the crime.
After many battles with Ma Su, he found that the former's field combat ability was almost zero, and he could do nothing except huddle in the city or stay on the mountain.
What should be feared by such a mediocre general, even if he is leading the most elite unworthy flying army of the Shu army?
What's more, the terrain at Nanlongkou happens to be level with the terrain outside, so the Wei cavalry is no longer in an offensive posture, and is extremely suitable for charging into the formation.
Dai Ling finally overcame all opinions and decided to fight to the death with Ma Su. He ordered one of his generals, a thousand cavalrymen, to guard the crossing, and personally led nine thousand cavalrymen, planning to seize the right opportunity and attack the Shu army head-on!
As long as the Wudang Flying Army comes from afar and is not yet firmly established, then no matter how brave the Wudang Flying Army is, they will be exhausted, and their combat power will be greatly reduced, and they will be scattered and disabled.
This battle will definitely be a crushing victory!
Just when Dai Ling was gearing up for a big fight, Ma Di was leading the army and rushed towards the Nanlong crossing.
Just twenty miles away from Nanlongkou, Ma Su raised his hand to stop the advance of the army. He looked up at the darkening sky, called the three generals and ordered:
"Huang Xi, Li Sheng, you two lead four thousand soldiers and immediately dig a pit in this road before dark. The pit must be slightly larger than a horse's hoof and only a foot deep. The spacing should be staggered. The more the better!"
"By the way, after digging the pit, be sure to cover it with withered grass to cover it up."
Huang Xi and Li Sheng accepted the order and urged the troops to dig.
"Zhang Xiu, you select a thousand men with strong steps and march along the road. If you see Wei soldiers coming, retreat and shoot them. After leading them to this place, retreat from both sides of the road. If you don't see Wei soldiers on the way, go straight to them.
Outside the main stronghold of Daokou, the Wei army fired a few cold arrows and then retreated."
Zhang Xiu nodded and asked coldly: "We all have something to do, what about you, general?"
This guy's tone is wrong! Could he be questioning my decision? I haven't led troops in just a few days... Ma Su glanced at Zhang Xiu angrily:
"As the commander-in-chief, I naturally sit in charge of the central army and command the overall situation!"
Zhang Xiu waved his hands repeatedly and said with an expectant look on his face: "General, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, that's not what I mean. What I meant is: General, if you go to seduce with me... Oh no, go to seduce the enemy together, no matter who is guarding the front."
Whether it is Zhang He or Dai Ling, he will definitely fall into the trap."
After a pause, Zhang Xiu added: "I heard that the Wei army, from the general to the soldiers, hate you so much, general, that they wish they could kill you..."
"Inappropriate!" Ma Su immediately rejected this tempting proposal: "I am running too slowly, it would be inappropriate to lure the enemy..."
When he said this, Ma Su thought of a folk allusion for no reason: Two hunters went into the mountains to fencing... hunting. Unexpectedly, they encountered a big tiger in the mountains. One of them ran away when he saw it. The other laughed at him and said: "You run."
What are you running for? Can you still outrun the big tiger?" The person who ran away first said without looking back: "I don't need to outrun the tiger, I just need to run in front of you. If the tiger eats you, it will be full. No.
Will come after me."
The thousand soldiers responsible for luring the enemy deep this time were either long-distance runners or sprinters.
If he goes with him, if he encounters the Wei army and the soldiers start running, even if they are riding horses, he will surely be the last one in the team. By then...
Ma Yan shook his head into a wave drum: "Inappropriate or wrong, the gentleman is not standing under the critical wall.
"Yes!" Zhang Xiu cupped his hands with a disappointed look on his face and led the troops away.
The sky gradually darkened,
On the land shrouded in twilight, there was a scene of fire rising into the sky.
Four thousand Wudang flying troops are racing against time to dig a trap.
With the faint light of the waning moon in the sky, Ma Di saw that the road was covered with dense potholes, which were all covered by clusters of withered grass.
He nodded with satisfaction and led the soldiers back, digging holes randomly along the way.
Dark night, pits, poisonous arrows, useless flying troops...
It’s okay if the Wei soldiers don’t come, but if they come...
"Jie Jie Jie..." Ma Su grinned his lips and let out a scary laugh like a night owl.
Half an hour later, a drum-like sound of horse hooves sounded from the north, from far to near.
In a short while, Qian Wudang flying army came into view first. They walked as fast as flying, roared and circled half a circle from both sides of the road, and merged with the large army.
Then he stood quietly on the other side of the pit, looking forward to the exciting scene.
Dai Ling rode a tall horse and charged at the forefront of the cavalry team, brandishing weapons.
He believed that he was sure of victory today, and the speed of his cavalry was fast enough. Ma Di and Wudang Feijun would never be able to escape.
absolute!
The scene of a mass killing by Wei soldiers even appeared in front of his eyes. Ma Su was alone and surrounded by ten thousand cavalry, three hundred levels inside and three hundred levels outside. He shivered and huddled on the ground, waiting for his ruthless verdict...
Dai Ling, who was riding fast on horseback, was just thinking about it when suddenly a strong feeling of weightlessness hit him unexpectedly.
He felt like he was flying into the sky, flying to nowhere.
With a startling glance, countless cavalrymen fell on their backs, and a tragic scene flooded into his eyes.
Dai Ling only had time to sigh, "It's over. I escaped the first year of junior high school but not the fifteenth. I will fall into the hands of this life-long enemy after all."
Then he fell heavily to the ground, his vision went dark, and he didn't know what was going on.
