Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 300 The Battle of Shu's Annihilation of Wei (Dark Thunder)
Xia Houba led [-] soldiers and traveled all the way day and night, and finally reached the city of Luoyang at the evening of the third day.Seeing that the four gates of the city were closed, Xia Houba then traveled another forty li to the east. Before it got dark, he arrived at forty li west of Shouyang Mountain and set up camp.

He was very tired from the rapid march all the way, so he planned to let the soldiers rest overnight, and then go to Shouyang Mountain tomorrow to rescue them.

It was night, Xiahouba took out the map drawn by the scouts and looked at it carefully. The map was rather clumsy, but the basic terrain around Shouyang Mountain was still outlined. Soon Xiahouba focused on the bandits, that is, The place where the Shu army camped.

"What is Ma Su's intention in setting up the army here?"

Xia Houba stretched out his finger to press a certain point on the map, muttered to himself, and fell into deep thought.

The place where the Shu army camped was three miles west of Shouyang Mountain. It was flat and near the water. It was easy to attack and difficult to defend.

But after four days, no one dared to attack the Shu army.To be precise, Cao Shuang, who was terrified of being beaten, didn't even dare to have the idea of ​​a sneak attack.

Xia Houba felt that the camp site of the Shu army had a lot of room for manipulation.If he leads the army to attack in the middle of the night.Taking advantage of his unpreparedness to fight the Shu army to the death, he might be able to catch the Shu army by surprise.If Cao Shuang was able to lead his army down the mountain to respond at this time, the Shu army might face a major defeat, or even annihilation of the entire army.

But it was a pity that the [-] soldiers under his command were exhausted after traveling for three days and three nights. They fell asleep and screamed like dead pigs without waking up.

Xia Houba thumped his thigh hard, the fighter opportunity was in front of him, but he couldn't grasp it, which made him sigh with regret!

Aside from regret, Xia Houba couldn't help but have a question in his heart.

Ma Di, as the general of the Shu Kingdom conquering the west, could not have known the disadvantages of camping on flat ground but not camping.If the enemy attacked at night, the Shu army would be in great danger.

With Cao Shuang's current military strength and ability to command troops, it is very difficult to do this, but Cao Shuang is not the only idiot in Wei!There are still many generals who can fight in Wei Guo-for example, Xia Houba.

Ma Su also bullied me too much, no one in Wei!

Xia Houba was furious, and began to deliberate over and over again the purpose of Ma Su camping in the open area.

The place where the Shu army's camp was located was like a piece of fat dangling in front of his eyes, which made him unable to resist the idea of ​​a sneak attack.Where did Ma Su come up with such an obvious flaw on purpose?

After thinking for a long time without any clue, Xia Houba shook his head, secretly sighing that this guy surnamed Ma is really a strange opponent.

Back in Jieting in the past, everyone with military knowledge thought he was going to die after he went up the mountain.As a result, that guy stayed on the mountain leisurely for a month, and finally swaggered away.

In the battle of Mian County, everyone thought that after Ma Di entered the ambush circle, there was no possibility of survival.As a result, a cold wave fell from the sky, the Wei army was wiped out, and the Shu army was unscathed.

There are many other such shocking deeds of Zhang Zhang, including the surprise attack on Luoyang seven hundred miles downstream. No one would have thought that Ma Di would dare to be so bold and rush to Luoyang with only 2 horses.

Does Ma Su really think that every soldier under his command is Lu Bu?Are there any undeserved courage?

This behavior of extremely looking down on the combat effectiveness of Wei's army was something Xia Houba could not tolerate.

Therefore, Xia Houba was holding back his breath when he came to rescue him.

After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't figure out why Ma Di did this (showing his flaws). Xia Houba yawned and fell asleep after waves of drowsiness.

He marched in a hurry for three consecutive days, and he was exhausted even though he had a horse to travel around.

When Xia Houba fell asleep, he didn't know that he was being targeted. If he had been able to predict the future, he would never have chosen to camp forty miles away from the Shu army.

In the middle of the night, the sky was gloomy, and the moon was covered by dark clouds, revealing only a glimmer of light.

Half a mile away from Wei Jun's camp, several people were talking softly.

"Youchang, the camp that came to help the Wei army looks very well-organized, and it is still stationed in a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Are we really going to attack here? In fact, it is better to attack Shouyang Mountain than to attack here."

Wei Yan's eyes widened, and he looked in surprise at Ma Su who was close at hand and smiling.

Part of the reason why he objected was that this sneak attack plan was too risky, and Xiahouba was not a mediocre general; part of it was because a sneak attack here was far less secure than a sneak attack on Shouyang Mountain, because Cao Shuang was an idiot, and Shouyang Mountain had fewer troops, and the soldiers were more effective. lower.

"It's a sneak attack here!"

"Master Wen, if you were Cao Rui and Cao Shuang, what would make you despair?" Ma Di looked at Wei Yan with confidence.

"When the reinforcements were wiped out?!" Wei Yan couldn't help blurting out after hearing what he said, "If I were Cao Rui or Cao Shuang, and I learned that the reinforcements were wiped out, I'm afraid I would surrender."

"That's right!" Ma Di nodded, "Subduing the enemy without fighting is the best way. The ultimate goal of our Northern Expedition is to unify the world and stop the war. Therefore, we can make the enemy lay down their weapons and be obedient. Surrender is the highest state of war."

Wei Yan didn't understand this kind of reasoning very well, so he didn't answer the question, but said to Ma Di with a serious face: "Youchang, then I'm up for it?"

Ma Di nodded, "Go, if you can wipe out Xiahouba's troops, I will remember your first contribution, and I will recommend you to be reinstated in front of the prime minister. By the way, remember to save Xiahouba's life, after all, he is a close relative of the queen. If you want the official to return to his original post, you can't kill him."

"I've made a note, Xiaochang, just watch!" Wei Yanchao waved his hands to the left and right, and took the lead in carrying the knife, rushing towards the Wei army camp in a dangerous position.

Ma Di took a few soldiers and went up to the side of the earth hill, looking at the place where the battle was about to take place.

The 150-mile range from Luoyang to Shouyang Mountain is full of ravines, east-west earth mountains, and there is only one day's not-so-spacious dirt road, which leads directly to Hulao Pass [-] miles away to the east.The location where Xiahouba camped happened to be in a relatively narrow place, stuck in the middle of a ditch between two mountains, where the north and the south are not connected, no matter if you attack from the west or the east, you can only attack in the end. a location.

Just judging from the location of the camp, we know that Xia Houba is by no means a mediocrity like Cao Shuang.

But Ma Di is sure to win this sneak attack battle.

The battle soon began.

The exhausted sentinels of the Wei army didn't realize that an enemy attack had taken place until the Shu army came to them with knives on their bodies, but they had no chance to raise the alarm.

The battle went extremely smoothly, and it took only an hour before and after.

When Xia Houba woke up with sleepy eyes, two knives were already on his neck.The soldiers of the Wei army chose to put down their weapons and surrender as soon as they saw the general captured.

By the time the situation was completely under control and the battle damage had been counted, the east had already turned pale, and the time had come to the fifth day.

Unprepared for mental calculations, the [-] Wei army killed more than [-] people in the sneak attack, while the Shu army suffered extremely small casualties, which were almost negligible.

On this day, Cao Shuang, as usual, got up early in the morning, looking westward, looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements.

In the end, he waited for another letter and a bolt from the blue.

The [-] elite Wei troops who came to help were wiped out.

The main general Xia Houba was also captured.

Ma Di gave a deadline in the letter, one day, if he did not surrender within one day, he would be killed.

After reading the letter, Cao Shuang sat down on the ground.

Everyone was stunned.
