Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

In the north of Cangsong County, Sima Yi also received the latest intelligence in the Wei army camp.

"What did you say? Zhuge Liang led his troops and stationed them directly at Pingyang Qiu?" Sima Yi was surprised and happy for a moment when he heard the report from the scouts on the front line.

Pingyang Qiu is to the west of the Wei army and is the only way for the Western Region Allied Forces to come and join together. Zhuge Liang directly stationed troops here, which directly put himself in a situation where he was attacked from two sides!

Seeing that his opponent was so confident, even Sima Yi couldn't help but be tempted.

From any angle, this is an extremely perfect fighter plane!

Although the scout also brought back a piece of information, Ma Di also arrived at the Shu army camp. However, Sima Yi didn't care about this, but the support of three thousand cavalry and one general did not have much impact.

The total strength of the Wei army at this time was more than 45,000, basically all the elites trained by Sima Yi in Liangzhou in four years. The Western Region Allied Forces had 30,000 soldiers, all of whom were elites trained under Sima Yi's personal guidance.

Sima Yi has been working hard in the Western Regions since he took charge of Liangzhou.

In the early years of Cao Wei, he had always had a "non-active, non-rejective, irresponsible attitude" towards the Western Regions. For a long time, Cao Wei basically did not manage much of the Western Regions.

However, after Sima Yi took office in Liangzhou, he quickly rectified the Western Regions. Relying on the majesty of Cao Wei and the intimidation of the Liangzhou Military Region troops, the Western Regions were asked to contribute money and troops to deal with the Shu army.

In a few years, Sima Yi led more than 30,000 Western Region coalition forces in Dunhuang. This was the real basis for him to dare to press closely with Zhuge Liang and keep the Shu army in check.

At this moment, the Shu army, including the three thousand cavalry brought by Ma Su, is at most a little more than thirty thousand. At this moment, Sima Yi's total military strength had reached more than 70,000, and his advantage was already very obvious.

Flying dragon riding on the face, how can I lose?

"Zhuge Villager is so trusting, he will definitely pay the price for it!" Sima Yi smiled coldly, and quickly sent people to call all the generals to convey his next order.

In one word, attack!

When the officers and soldiers of the Wei army, who had been holding back their nerves for a long time, received the order to attack, they were full of fighting spirit and high morale. All the generals were also smiling and shouting, putting on their weapons and preparing to go into battle to show off the Shu army.

Sima Yi has always been good at adapting to local conditions and controlling the rhythm in his own hands.

At first, I didn't dare to fight Zhuge Liang. First, the Shu army's morale was high and it seemed that they were well prepared. However, his own reinforcements have not yet arrived, and Jincheng has been newly defeated, and his energy has not yet been gathered, so Sima Yi can only hold it in.

With more than a month of close pressing, the anger level of the Wei army had reached its peak. Moreover, when the reinforcements arrived, the Shu army jumped into the encirclement. From then on, Sima Yi had no reason to wait any longer.

The Battle of Pingyangqiu, which was related to the ownership of Liangzhou and even the entire northwest, officially broke out.

"Prime Minister! This is not a suitable place for a blocking battle."

Thirty-four thousand Shu troops have arrived at the front line of Pingyangqiu, and under the command of Zhuge Liang, they began to set up military formations and wait for the Wei troops to come.

However, in Ma Su's view, this was obviously not a suitable blocking location.

Although there are hills in this area, the terrain is not steep, and the offset to the cavalry impact is not obvious. Moreover, the Shu army needed to encounter enemies on both sides, so the situation was not very good.

"Okay, this kind of terrain is enough. If it were any steeper, Sima Yi wouldn't dare to come." Zhuge Liang shook his head gently and said unhurriedly.

"You Chang, I will give you five thousand infantry. Yao Hu, Jiang Wei, Shu Ji and other generals will be handed over to you. Can you block the troops from the Western Regions here and prevent them from advancing even an inch?"

"No problem, Prime Minister!" Ma Di accepted the order without saying a word.

"Okay! Stay safe and wait for me to defeat the Wei army head-on." Zhuge Liang nodded, waved his feather fan slightly, and asked his soldiers to push his four-wheeled cart towards the front.

Zhuge Liang then safely handed over his back to Ma Di and asked him to resist the troops of the Western Regions who were three times his own.

"General! We can finally fight together again!" Not long after Zhuge Liang left, Ma Su's old subordinates, Shu Ji, Yao Hu, Jiang Wei and others all came to Ma Su and saluted the old leader.

The three men Zhuge Liang assigned to Ma Su were the general Shu Ji who defeated the enemy, the general Jiang Wei who defeated the Qiang, and the general Yao Hu who defeated the Long army. They were all Ma Su's old subordinates in Longyou. They had accumulated military exploits with Ma Su for so long, and they had all become generals.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ma Su seemed to have returned to the time when he was at the street pavilion.

Well...that's what it feels like.

"I haven't fought with you for a long time. Today I will defeat the enemy with you!" Ma Su smiled, helped the three of them up, and then began to deploy his troops.

However, when deploying the army, Ma Su discovered a problem.

What Ma Su needs in this battle is not simply to defeat the enemy, but to block the enemy to the west. In other words, Ma Di cannot simply attack from the side with cavalry and overwhelm the enemy. He needs to defend from the front.

But Jiang Wei and Shu Ji were both generals who were good at leading cavalry attacks, but not good at defense. Although Yao Hu had learned the art of war, he was unable to take on this important task.

In the end, Ma Su looked at it for a long time and had no choice but to go up by himself.

"Jiang Wei!"

"Here!" Jiang Wei quickly came out of the queue and replied.

"I will give you two thousand cavalry to detour from the left wing and attack the flank of the Western Region Allied Forces!"

"Wei!" Jiang Wei immediately answered the order.

"Shuki!"

"Someone is here!"

"You lead two thousand cavalry, rush in from the right wing, and attack the enemy's flank with Jiang Wei!"

"only!"

"Yao Hu, you follow me and lead five thousand troops to meet the enemy head on, and find a way to block the enemy's frontal attack!" Ma Di finally looked at Yao Hu and said seriously.

"only!"

Because the stakes in this battle were so important, Ma Su did not dare to be clever. Directly following the art of war, the battle was launched with the strategy of perfect combination and surprise victory.

Yizhenghe is the five thousand infantry led by Ma Su. This is a regular soldier, facing the enemy head-on. Surprisingly, the cavalry on both sides are used as reserve teams. When the enemy is engaged, they rush out from both sides to harvest the game.

This can be regarded as one of the few Ma Su who followed the rules of war to defend frontally with infantry, and it was indeed difficult for him.

After the formation was set up, Ma Di personally came to the formation in person, fully armed and armed with weapons. Five thousand Shu soldiers relied on the mountain to spread out their military formation and were ready.

The Western Region Allied Forces had also received Sima Yi's order at this time and broke into the Shu Army camp from the west. Thirty thousand troops from the Western Regions came from the main road to kill the enemy, and appeared in front of the Shu army's formation all over the mountains and plains.

"In so many years, this is the first time I have faced the enemy with infantry! I don't know if this thing is dangerous... If it is, I, Ma Su, can be a good general." Ma Su looked at the Western Region Allied Forces that were getting closer and closer. , couldn't help but muttered with emotion.
