Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 231 Ma Su, Man Can Conquer Heaven!
Since the soldiers had already experienced the despair after the water was cut off, when Ma Di asked them to pretend to be sick, everyone learned it perfectly.

But Ma Di inspected it again, and always felt that their acting skills lacked some soul.

So he ordered the soldiers stationed in the outer camp to drink only a small sip of water every day, not to wet their lips when drinking water, and not to lick the corners of their mouths with their tongues while on duty.

After such an operation, after a day of wind and sun, the lips of every soldier on duty were dry.

By the second day, the lips of some soldiers began to crack, coupled with their dejected expressions, the whole presented situation appeared to be in shape and spirit.

This is a group of soldiers who have lost their fighting spirit due to extreme lack of water.

Ma Di nodded secretly, and immediately ordered the soldiers of all the ministries to hide in the camp and wait in full force.

He knew that Sima Yi was a man of destiny and extremely difficult to deal with.Not to mention possessing the talent of the four "heaven" characters, basically eliminating all possibility of failure.

However, Ma Di wanted to try to see if man could overcome the sky.

……

After Sima Yi learned that the Shu army was short of water, in order to prevent fraud, he personally led the generals to observe nearby.

Sima Zhao raised his whip, pointed at a soldier in the Shu army camp diagonally above, and said to Sima Yi in a low voice: "Look, father, the soldiers of Shu have chapped lips and no fighting spirit!"

Sima Yi rode his horse to stop at Wuzhang Plain, squinted his eyes, stared sideways for a while, closed his eyes and began to think.

He has experienced the feeling of lack of water.

Compared with physical thirst, psychological despair is more unbearable. In the face of extreme water shortage, few people can maintain a calm and optimistic attitude.

From his point of view, the morale of the Shu soldiers stationed above was low and they were about to collapse.And this desperate atmosphere will quickly spread to all soldiers. It is foreseeable that the current Shu army must be a mess.

If you send troops to attack at this time, the chance of winning is [-]%!
No, [-]%!

Although the chances of winning were so great, Sima Yi always felt a little uneasy for no reason.

He quickly put himself into Ma Di's position and began to think.What would you do if you lead your troops trapped on a high ground with extreme water shortage?
The answer is: break out or fight to the death.

In short, it will definitely not sit still.

So here comes the question, why did Ma Di keep standing still?
Isn't he afraid of dying of thirst on Wuzhang Plain?
Sima Yi raised his head to look at the vicious sun, and hesitated for a moment.

After a long time, he sighed and rode his horse back to the camp.

All the generals looked at each other, greatly surprised, and hurriedly rode their horses to follow.

Sima Zhao caught up with Sima Yi, and asked in bewilderment, "Father, why didn't you order an attack? My son is willing to lead an army to kill Wuzhangyuan and capture Ma Su alive!"

"Don't act rashly!" Sima Yi said without turning his head, "Wait a little longer!"

Sima Zhao reined in his mount, stopped in place, and muttered, "Wait a minute, when will we send troops! Wouldn't it be a pity to miss such a good opportunity?"

Sima Yi also reined in his mount, turned his head to stare at his second son, and said earnestly, "Sun Tzu said: For a general..."

"Sun Tzu said: As a general, you should be calm and restrained. How can you be arrogant?" Sima Zhao took the lead and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Father, you have said it [-] times. When will our army attack?"

Sima Yi laughed dumbfoundedly, shook his head, turned around and galloped away.

Far away, a sentence came from the air: "Three days later!"

……

On the eighth day of Wuzhangyuan's siege, [-] Wei troops under the leadership of Zhang Hu, Hande and other generals began to launch tentative attacks.

This is an order from Sima Yi.

It has been seven days since he discovered that the Shu army was short of water. Sima Yi believed that the Shu army had almost reached its limit and it was time to launch an attack.

He was worried that if the delay continued, there would be other variables, especially Zhuge Liang, who was currently entrenched in the Longyou area, still had more than [-] troops under his command, which should not be underestimated.

If Zhuge Liang led his army from Longyou to Xiaoguan, the Wei army's strength and advantage at the moment would no longer exist.

Although this possibility is very small, Sima Yi has to guard against it.

Early in the morning, the Wei army's general offensive officially began.[-] Wei soldiers held special wooden shields and faced the difficulties from the gentle slope west of Wuzhang Plain.Launched a charge on the Shu army camp on Wuzhang Plain.

"General! Wei Jun is here!"

Zhang Xiu suddenly opened the curtain, limped into the handsome tent, and shouted at the top of his voice.

Before, under the explanation of Ma Su's pushy words and clever ventriloquism, the misunderstanding between the two generals has been resolved.Ma Di's sentence "I beat you because I treat you as my own, and I don't beat others because they are not as close as you and me", deeply touched Zhang Xiu, and made him feel honored after being beaten for no reason. Yan.

Ma Di quickly put away the "Jade Heart Sutra" recently delivered by Huang Xi, stood up, put on his helmet, held his sword in his hand, and strode outside, asking as he walked:
"Where is Wei Jun fighting now?"

There was a lot of busyness outside the camp, and groups of soldiers, led by various lieutenant generals, ran past Ma Su quickly, and set up their positions for defense according to the pre-arranged arrangement.

"We have already broken through the second line of defense, and are currently attacking the third line of defense." Zhang Xiu truthfully replied: "Our army is already in place on the fifth line of defense."

Ma Su let out a "hmm", stood under the observation deck on a high place, and looked up.

I saw that the densely packed Wei army had climbed one-third of the gentle slope, and the battle situation had changed from the initial tentative attack to the open and close style of hand-to-hand combat, and the shouts of killing resounded through the sky.

The Shu army fought, retreated and shot, and countless iron arrows shot out, shuttling between the two sides.

Since the gentle slope in the west was two kilometers wide, the Wei army was divided into eight teams, spread all over the eight gates of Shuying, and charged upwards bravely.

Looking from a distance, it looked like a large group of black ants with big heads, swarming up in waves.

Ma Di smiled slightly, and waved to the soldiers on the watchtower. The soldiers quickly waved the triangular command flag in their hands, three times to the left, then three times to the right, and then swung forward suddenly.

It was not until this time that the drums and horns of the Shu army sounded.

The counterattack has begun.

Being defeated steadily by the Wei army, the suffering soldiers of the Shu army heard the sound of their own horns and war drums, and quickly cheered up, straightened their waists, and their decadent expressions were swept away.

At the same time, his hands stopped shaking, and the Liannu began to shoot at the enemy's vital points, instead of aiming at the sky.

The sudden reaction of the Shu army like a corpse was far beyond the expectations of the Wei army. The leading generals were shot like hedgehogs and fell to the ground rolling over.

Faced with such a resolute counterattack, Wei Guo's forward momentum stopped, and he was forced to retreat.

Han De was eager to avenge his son, and despite the rain of arrows, he brought his other three sons and rushed forward with their shields up.

From the very beginning, he believed that the Shu army, which had been short of water for several days, had lost its combat effectiveness. This wave of counterattack was just the last fight before dying. As long as it was suppressed forcefully, the Shu army would surely collapse quickly.

As long as they rush to the fifth camp, it means that the Shu army has no danger to defend, and the victory of the Wei army is in sight.

When rushing forward, Han De was full of pride, thinking in his heart,

Fame and fortune are calling him!

Become famous today!

However, just about ten steps away, the lightweight wooden shield was shot full of iron arrows, and it weighed more than a thousand catties, making it difficult to hold it.

With a sound of "plop", the wooden shield fell to the ground. As soon as Han De's body was exposed, he was immediately surrounded by arrows raining all over the sky. His cheeks were full of arrows, and he fell on his back.

Immediately afterwards, under the fierce blow of the Shu army's continuous crossbow, the Wei army's offensive momentum was frustrated again.Originally, the Wei army was attacking with their backs. They had nowhere to hide in front of the condescending crossbowmen of the Shu army. They were forced to make no progress by the rain of arrows.

Standing outside the battlefield, Sima Yi witnessed another wave of Wei Jun's attack being repelled, his face was as calm as water, and he couldn't tell what was going on in his heart.

Sima Zhao realized that he had made a serious mistake in his judgment before, and the Shu army was far from reaching the point of collapse. The Wei army launched a general offensive at this time to give away people.

So he showed embarrassment and cupped his hands to Sima Yi: "Father, withdraw the troops."

Sima Yi shook his head. His opinion was exactly the opposite of his son's. From the offensive of the Shu army, he saw the dawn of the Wei army turning defeat into victory.

Sima Yi took a deep breath, calmly analyzed the situation, and waved his hand: "Give me the general order, the whole army will attack!"

Hearing this, all the generals were very puzzled, but they still bowed their hands to obey the order and led the troops away.

Sima Zhao asked in surprise, "Father, before the Shu army was weak and our army was strong, you did not approve of sending troops to attack; now the Shu army is strong and our army is weak, but you want to attack, why? "

Sima Yi watched more and more Wei troops rushing towards Wuzhangyuan, and said with a sneer: "The weakness of the Shu army is an illusion. It is just to lure our army to attack and try to annihilate them with continuous crossbows."

"If our army doesn't attack, the Liannu will always be a threat. Out of this consideration, my father ordered the [-] troops to attack, attracting the Shu army to release arrows and consume their Liannu. When the Shu army ran out of arrows, the other The defensive force will become very empty. At this time, I will send the army to attack Wuzhangyuan and it will become easy."

"The strength of the Shu army at this moment depends on the power of the Liannu, but the iron arrows used in this Liannu must not be many in the Shu army's formation. As expected, the Shu army's Liannu is already on display at this moment, and our army can swagger on board. Wuzhangyuan."

Sima Zhao suddenly realized, and praised repeatedly: "Father has a great idea, and my child admires it, but I don't know if our army can capture Wuzhangyuan today?"

Sima Yi pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Ma Di, this person cannot be treated with common sense."

"In this battle, it is unknown who will win."

Sima Zhao nodded. In the past two years, he has been stationed on the frontier with his father, often fighting and killing. His military ability has grown extremely fast.

In short, compared with Ma Di, his father is not superior in terms of strategy and tactics, but his advantage is still huge.As long as the fight continues steadily and no fatal mistakes are made, Ma Di's failure will be inevitable.

How can a mere general of an army be able to defeat the commander of a country?
But the advantages belong to the advantages. In just a few months, Liangzhou Longyou lost one after another, which was far beyond Sima Zhao's expectations. Even his father Sima Yi did not expect it at the beginning.

However, although Ma Di won many times in the battle of Guanzhong, he failed to smash Guanzhong with a thunderous momentum and help the Shu Kingdom achieve the strategic goal of "dominating Yongliang and recreating the foundation of the great ancestor's hegemony". A chance to come back.

Maybe, today's battle.

It was the beginning of Wei's comprehensive counter-offensive.
