Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Wang Ling had expected Ma Su's sudden appearance, and even Wang Ling was a little surprised when he appeared so late.

It stands to reason that Ma Su should have come out on the first day and then attacked the city from both front and back.

Fortunately, Wang Ling was prepared for this and prepared a large number of antlers and chariots in advance. As long as these things are placed on the flat ground, it will be useless even if Ma Su can charge.

Antlers are the best defense against cavalry charges, and chariots are the best weapons for guarding infantry flanks.

When Ke Bineng was attacked in the north, the reason why Ma Su tried every means to attack the Northern Qiang army from the flank was because the chariots really couldn't be driven away.

Therefore, when he knew that the Shu army's cavalry was coming, Wang Ling did not panic at all. Without saying a word, he ordered the troops to withdraw to the camp, set up ten layers of antlers, and prepared a chain of chariots to meet Ma Su.

But just when Wang Linggang ordered the withdrawal of troops, the gate of Dingying City suddenly opened wide. Ju Fuqin and his troops suddenly came out of the city and caught the Wei army by surprise!

"General Zhengbei is coming for reinforcements!! Follow me and charge, don't let the Wei army escape!"

Since Ma Su, most Shu Han generals have learned to charge into battle in person. Even Jufu, who was not directly related to Ma Su, often led the charge personally and attacked the city first.

With the generals personally rushing to the front, the Han troops all pushed forward and fought to the death.

At this moment, the Wei army had already ordered their troops to retreat, and was preparing to withdraw to the camp to defend Ma Di's cavalry. As a result, Jufu suddenly rushed out with his troops, fought with them, and tried his best to delay their retreat.

Jufu's sudden attack caused the Wei army's originally orderly retreat to suddenly become a bit chaotic. The Wei army, which was unable to withdraw from the battlefield in time, was entangled by the high-morale Han soldiers and was unable to withdraw to the camp in time.

At this time, Wang Ling issued the order at an extremely fast speed without any hesitation.

"If the troops that cannot be withdrawn are cut off, the rest of the troops will retreat at full speed! Any troops who are able to withdraw are not allowed to fight, and those who disobey orders will be killed!"

Wang Ling immediately chose to abandon the entangled tribe and let them fend for themselves. The rest of the troops, led by officers from each department, retreated to the camp at full speed and set up all ten layers of antlers to defend against the Shu Han cavalry.

Because of Wang Ling's prompt decision, when three thousand Han cavalry rushed forward, the Wei army's camp was already stable. There were a series of chariots, ten antlers, and fortifications with walls to defend themselves. The Shu army had no way of attacking.

It must be said that Wang Ling's caution saved his large army from the risk of being overwhelmed by Ma Di.

However, Ma Su did not curse at this, but looked to the west of Dingying...

"It's broken! The soldiers and horses responsible for blocking Xishan didn't withdraw in time!" Wang Ling's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something.

Before the war, for the sake of safety, he divided thousands of troops to visit the Shu army living in Xishan. But it was too far away from the main camp, and Ma Su attacked so quickly that there was no time to retreat.

Thinking of this, Wang Ling suddenly started to sweat profusely and squinted his eyes to make some calculations.

"There are more than 3,000 soldiers and horses in Xishan, and there are also 2,000 soldiers and horses held back by the Dingying and Shu army. The loss in this battle is almost 5,000 people. It seems... okay?"

After Wang Ling calculated the losses in this battle, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it seems that the loss is not too big. Compared with the last time when 7,000 people were killed and missing due to Ma Su's deception, the losses this time were much smaller.

Well, there is progress... what the hell!

Wang Ling was still very depressed at this moment. In the first two days of the siege, he could not conquer a small town. Then there was no gain at all, but thousands of men and horses were eaten by Ma Su in vain.

The only thing he could do now was to reassure himself that he still had a chance, and then turn his head away from watching how the Han army destroyed the Wei army soldiers who did not escape.

The governor Wang was kind-hearted and could not bear to see his family being massacred, so he could only close his eyes.

On Ma Su's side, he made a lot of gains, and took advantage of Wang Ling's coward to eat thousands of Wei troops in one go.

From this point of view, Ma Su's strategy of gathering troops and gathering cities seems feasible. If things go on like this, as long as Wang Ling is dragged here, great things will be done.

Ma Su led 3,000 light cavalry to defeat thousands of Wei troops, beheading more than a thousand and capturing 2,000, and achieved a great victory.

After the victory, Ma Su went to explore outside the Wei army's camp to see if there was still a chance to charge into the battle. However, when he saw the ten-layered antlers and the chariot, Ma Su instantly lost interest.

"It seems that Wang Ling has been frightened out of his wits. He built the camp like this when facing only 3,000 of our cavalry. For those who don't know, I thought he was guarding against 100,000 cavalry!"

"The general has been fighting for several years without a single defeat, but Wang Ling has never led an army, so naturally he feels guilty." Gou Fu smiled, cupped his hands and complimented Ma Su.

Ma Su didn't say anything about this. Generally speaking, bullying Wang Ling still didn't bring much sense of achievement.

This old man is over sixty this year and is a complete literary talent. His political achievements are all about governing local areas, and there is basically no record of commanding troops to fight. There is really nothing to say.

"But General Zhengbei, I'm afraid the next battle will not be so easy to fight." Jufu suddenly changed the subject and sent a letter to Ma Su.

"The puppet Wei has moved troops south from Hebei, and now the army has reached Qiaojun. The Wei army in Yuzhou has nearly 200,000 troops. We are afraid that the pressure will be increasing."

"What? The puppet Wei Dynasty has transferred troops from Hebei?" Ma Di was startled. He quickly opened the letter and read it, and then his face became a little ugly.

This letter is a letter Jufu intercepted from the court of Cao Wei to Wang Ling, asking him to hold on to Runan and reinforcements will arrive soon.

At this time, Cao Rui had expanded the conscription from the Central Plains to Hebei, and ordered Jia Kui to pretend to be a general of the guards, leading Yinshou to mobilize troops from Hebei to the south. At this moment, troops from Qingxu, Yanyu and other ministries are gathered in Huainan. Counting the troops from Hebei that have not yet arrived, the entire Kanto mobilization force has reached 200,000.

If it hadn't been for Soochow's full-line attack that caused the Qingzhou Army and Yanzhou Army to march eastward to support Shouchun, Ma Su would have been killed by the Wei army by now.

"Things are getting more and more urgent..." Ma Su felt that it was a bit difficult.

It seems like there is no way to go on like this...

After Ma Su made a surprise attack with his troops and killed thousands of Wang Ling's men, he then led his troops to retreat into the city.

Wang Ling watched the whole process, being careful not to have too much contact with you. He was even prepared to be ruined. No matter how you can say, I am immovable.

However, Ma Di made no next move, giving Wang Ling a chance to withdraw his troops and take a breather.

At the same time, he also received an edict from the court. At this time, Jia Kui led tens of thousands of troops from Hebei to the battlefield in Runan.

This time Cao Rui also issued a very clear order, specifically instructing veteran general Jia Kui. Nanyang can be thrown away, but Ma Su must be killed for me!

At that time, Ma Su used tens of thousands of Shu troops to capture Nanyang, so Cao Wei and Guandong were restrained by 200,000 people!
