As for the possibility of success in this Northern Expedition...
At most 50%.
After Ma Su wrote the names of Zhao Yun, Ma Yu, Ding Li, Yang Qun, Yan Zhi, Bai Shou, Liu He, Deng Tong, Zhang Xiu, Li Sheng, Ma Su, etc. on the ground, he threw the branch aside and wandered to the sky.
These people were all generals who died within a year after Zhuge Liang's failure in the Northern Expedition in the original time and space. There were eleven people in total including him and Ma Su.
This was an unbearable loss for the Shu Han regime, which was extremely short of outstanding generals, and also weakened the strength of the Shu army to a great extent.
It is well known that the fewer outstanding generals a country has, the weaker its military strength will be.
Ma Su's scalp went numb when he thought of the famous scene of "There is no general in Sichuan, and Liao Hua becomes the vanguard".
For such a basic disk, an emulator plug-in is simply not enough.
Help the Han Dynasty and restore the Central Plains...
too difficult.
At this time, a burst of noise brought Ma Di back from his distracted thoughts. He looked up and saw Zhang Xiu instigating a group of soldiers, standing on the top of the mountain in the east, wildly provoking the Wei army down the mountain.
The slope in this direction is steep, and the distance up and down is only more than a hundred meters, which is perfect for yelling at each other.
"The bandits below dare to come up and fight to the death!"
"You rats on the mountain, if you have the guts to come down and fight it out!"
"Wei's dead soldier is approaching his death!"
"The livestock products of Shu will never see the light of day again!"
"The Wei dog is barking stupidly!"
"Sichuan ghost bastard!"
"..."
When did the Wei army suffer such humiliation?
As soon as the curses started rising on the mountain, a black-faced general came out from below, leading a group of loud-sounding soldiers. He put his hands to his mouth and spat out rubbish at the mountain.
The two sides exhaled fragrances to each other and exchanged various cordial greetings to each other's eighteen generations of ancestors. The shouts and curses continued one after another. The more the quarrel got louder, the more intense the words became.
Before he knew it, the black-faced general had led his troops from the distant river beach to the foot of the mountain. He put his arms on his hips and raised his face, ordering the soldiers to shout and curse as hard as they could.
Be sure to win this fight.
Suddenly, Ma Su's eyes narrowed, and he saw Zhang Xiu bending down to pick up a pebble as big as the mouth of a bowl, throwing off his thick arms, turning around three and a half times, looking at the black-faced general down the mountain, and threw it away.
The big boulder shot out, as powerful as thunder, as fast as a meteor, and smashed down the mountain with an indomitable momentum.
There was a rapid sound of breaking through the air first, followed by a crisp "bang" sound.
In the Wei army formation, a scene similar to a watermelon bursting suddenly appeared.
Red and white viscous liquid splashed everywhere.
An unrecognizable general fell to the sky, stirring up a cloud of dust.
There was a sudden cry at the foot of the mountain, and the group of loud-voiced Wei soldiers hurriedly rolled and crawled away, and then looked towards the mountain with lingering fear, pointing and condemning.
This kind of behavior is just throwing stones if you can't criticize someone.
It’s so disrespectful of martial ethics!
However, the Shu troops on the mountain didn't care that there were so many people. They immediately cheered and jumped up and down, so happy that they took off.
For them, happiness is so simple.
Zhang Xiu came over with a proud look and said, "General, the last general has successfully shot a Wei army general!"
Ma Su nodded involuntarily, looking shocked.
Over the past few days, he has clearly understood the strengths and weaknesses of his three major generals.
Zhang Xiu was born as an Orion and has a lot of strength. Because he has lived in the mountains since he was a child and has not received guidance from famous teachers, his strength value is the lowest among the three.
But he has a unique trick, throwing stones.
It is said that within a hundred steps, you can hit wherever you want without any false starts.
This information was all heard by Ma Di when Zhang Xiu was bragging to the soldiers.
I didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that Zhang Xiu was just bragging.
I didn't expect it to be true.
This is Xiao Zhang Fei Shi.
It's a pity that only one general was killed. If it was Zhang He who was killed...
"Remember a meritorious deed!" Ma Di shook his head and ordered the military meritorious officer beside him. Suddenly he heard a loud noise in the river beach and quickly looked down the mountain.
A large group of dark Wei soldiers surrounded them.
A rough estimate put their number at more than three thousand. They were all wearing dark armor, holding square wooden shields in one hand, and holding spears and knives in the other. They rushed to the foot of the mountain and climbed up like a swarm of ants climbing a mountain.
They organized themselves spontaneously without drumming orders or general command, and charged towards the mountain with ferocious looks.
Judging from the situation, they were angered by the Shu army's ungrateful, advantageous and provocative behavior.
They want to avenge the dead black-faced general!
As soon as these soldiers rushed to the mountainside, the round logs crashed down from the top of the mountain. Carrying boundless gravity, they ran over the soldiers at the front and rolled downwards.
Instantly, screams broke out and the scene became chaotic.
In this situation of losing all the geographical advantages, no matter how many Wei troops there are and no matter how well-equipped the soldiers are, they will not be able to exert the impact of their horses, let alone the bravery of veterans who have fought hundreds of battles.
There was nothing they could do against the Shu army on the mountain.
This is a one-sided massacre!
In just half an hour, the casualties of the Wei soldiers exceeded 2,000. As the Wei soldiers continued to charge, the casualties continued to increase rapidly.
However, Wei soldiers did not retreat because of excessive casualties.
Although they were blocked on the mountainside and could not move forward a step, these soldiers still opened their eyes wide and red, and rushed forward one after another.
The scene in front of them shocked everyone on the top of the mountain, including Ma Su, and a question mark, an exclamation point, and an ellipsis popped up in their minds.
Is this the world-famous elite of the Wei army?
So brave!
Can't beat...
Ma Su originally thought that the Wei army he saw three days ago was already at its strongest, coming and going like the wind, carrying out orders and prohibitions, and showing a murderous intent.
I didn't expect that today would be their strongest form.
This is simply a group of war machines!
He dared to conclude that if it were not for the strength of the mountains, the infantry under his command would never be a match for the tiger and wolf troops below.
…
The war started by a stone did not last long.
Soon, Zhang He heard the news and came. With a wave of his hand, the rapid jingling of gold and iron sounded. The group of crazy Wei soldiers on the mountainside, after a brief period of confusion, the blood redness in their eyes slowly receded.
Then, he quickly retreated from the mountain.
As they retreated, the densely packed corpses on the mountain road were revealed.
The bright red blood flowed down the mountain road, breaking out blood streams and winding towards the river beach.
Looking around, everything is red.
Although the Wei army retreated, Ma Di did not relax at all. In fact, this made him panic.
In the first battle, this group of Wei soldiers who were not afraid of death left a big shadow in his heart.
Looking back, the tribesmen behind him also looked solemn, showing no joy of winning the battle.
You don't need to think about it to know that the bravery and fearlessness shown by Wei Bing just now caused a strong impact on their souls.
The few attacks just now caused nearly 5,000 casualties to the Wei army. However, without the command of their generals, these Wei soldiers did not waver at all and continued to charge upward!
Who is the enemy of such an army in the world?
Ma Su looked down the mountain, trying his best to locate Zhang He's position among the crowd at the foot of the mountain. He secretly estimated the distance and found that it was more than five hundred steps.
The only solution for now was to kill the general Zhang He - this was the only way Ma Di could think of to quickly defeat the Wei army.
Five hundred steps away, in the wide area in the middle of the river beach, a group of well-equipped cavalry were surrounding Zhang He, who was wearing silver armor.
At this time, Zhang He was looking up towards the top of the mountain.
The distance was a bit far, and neither party could clearly see the other's facial expressions.
"Zhang Xiu!" Ma Su shouted behind him, pointed at Zhang He who was riding a horse on the river beach, and asked, "Are you sure?"
Zhang Xiu shook his head: "General, the last general is incompetent and can't shoot that far."
