Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, just want to die

Chapter 583 A nail in the lifeline of Cao Wei

The Han soldiers were making great progress in just half a month as they left the customs.

To the north, Deng Ai and Wu Ban joined forces to defeat the Wei army in Beiman Mountain. At the same time, Zhang Yi led his troops to break through Mengjing Pass, and the army even reached the northeast of Luoyang.

To the south, Shu Ji sent troops to attack Yique Pass, while Jiang Wei led his troops east to attack Dago Pass. In a very short period of time, Luoyang was in chaos all over the country, and emergency letters from all over the country floated to Luoyang like snowflakes.

There is no way. In the past few years, Cao Wei lost more than half of its elite soldiers because of a certain Ma who did not want to be named. Now we have been recruiting soldiers from the field to join the army for training, and we are in a period of drought.

The Han army thought that after more than ten years of fighting and military reforms, the remaining soldiers would be veterans of hundreds of battles. The gap in combat power between the two sides has widened, which Jiang Ji did not expect at all.

Jiang Ji looked around and saw that the entire Sizhou Washian was in flames of war. On the contrary, Luoyang, which he identified as the key location of the war, was currently peaceful.

Everyone in Jiang Ji was numb...

"Why don't Ma Su get out of here and fight according to the normal routine? I have been preparing for so long in Luoyang, and I am completely prepared!"

Jiang Ji looked at Ma Su's eye-catching handsome flag outside the city and gritted his teeth with hatred. But no matter how much he hated Ma Su, there was still nothing he could do.

He is on the defensive side and is at a disadvantage, with little freedom at all. If Ma Su didn't follow his planned plan, he would have no choice but to be led by the Shu army.

"No, I can no longer be bound by my past thinking. Fighting against Ma Su cannot be judged by common sense... Let me think about it, what would I do if I were Ma Su?" Jiang Ji rubbed his temples and took a long breath. Set your sights on the map again.

Although the pressure is huge, Jiang Ji still plans to support it as much as possible. After all, their family was too deeply tied to Cao Wei, and they had no choice but to fight to the death.

Therefore, Jiang Ji began to think about what he would do if he were Ma Su.

"Judging from the current situation, Ma Di should be planning to launch an offensive from the north and south, bypassing Luoyang and surrounding Sizhou."

"So based on this strategy, if I were Ma Di, I would definitely find a way to cut off the Wei supply line... the supply line?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Ji's eyes suddenly froze and his expression suddenly changed. Then his eyes were fixed on the galloping road from Luoyang to Hulao Pass!

"grass!"

Obviously, Jiang Ji's reaction was not slow, but maybe it was a little too late.

At the same time as he reacted, Ma Di had already led all 2,000 warriors, quietly bypassing Luoyang, and headed straight to the east of Luoyang.

There, there is a manor and castle built by a local wealthy family. This family fort was chosen by Ma Su when he petitioned Luoyang three years ago. Three years later, it is still in the same place.

The only difference is that this place used to be the property of Situ Gaorou's family, but now it has become the state-owned property of Cao Wei. The defenders on the city changed from private soldiers of wealthy families to soldiers of Cao Wei.

This place is just next to the Chidao from Hulao Pass to Luoyang, and it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is a good base. Ma Su's goal this time is here.

He wants to use this as a stronghold and become a nail in the lifeline of Cao Wei. Let all the Wei troops on the Luoyang front line bleed to death, and finally retreat on their own initiative.

Two thousand elite soldiers took advantage of the darkness to reach the vicinity of this family fort, and used short crossbows to kill the Wei soldiers on the fort. Then the pioneer soldiers bit the blade, pulled up the nearly six-meter-long dock with their bare hands, and quickly took control of the city.

In just half an hour, such a wealthy family's Wubao was quickly occupied. After taking control of Wubao, Ma Di immediately divided his troops non-stop and began to destroy the Chi Road next to him on the spot. Not only did he want to destroy the ruts, Ma Su also built a lot of antlers and placed them everywhere. The main purpose is to disgust you with his hands.

Because Ma Su completed the investigation of Luoyang's traffic three years ago, there is only one intact galloping road from Hulao Pass to Luoyang. The other roads are all small roads, which were fine during the Taiping years. Now, once war breaks out, only such a small road can maintain the needs of the army.

So as long as Ma Su stays here, Cao Wei's logistics will never be smooth.

However, although Ma Su moved quickly, Jiang Ji's reaction speed was not slow either. Not long after Ma Su captured Wubao, Cao Wei's encirclement and suppression army arrived.

Jiang Ji personally led 20,000 Wei troops to rush for reinforcements and surrounded Wubao with water. For this reason, Ma Su could only retreat inside first, giving priority to self-preservation.

Two thousand versus twenty thousand, although it is not impossible to fight, it is not necessary. Anyway, as long as you stay here for a long time, the more troops you have on the front line, the greater the pressure will be.

Jiang Ji also understood this truth, so after seeing Ma Di occupying this place, his face was as ugly as eating an Oli.

"Ma Su, ah Ma Su, you really know how to seize the opportunity in battle!" Jiang Ji gritted his teeth in anger. If he could defeat Ma Su, he would have personally taken up his gun and mounted his horse to fight against him.

But that's impossible. Although Ma Su's strength has declined in the past two years, it is still not comparable to him as a civil servant.

After all, there is still a slight gap between civil servants and civil servants...

"Sima, are you attacking the city?" the general next to him asked at this moment, not looking so nervous.

"The opponent only has a thousand people and only occupies a small fort. We might as well attack directly..."

"Force attack! Have you ever seen Ma Di lose a city defense battle? Do we have as many troops as Wang Ling in Runan?" Jiang Ji rolled his eyes, quite rationally, and waved his hands directly.

"A strong attack is definitely out of the question. If Ma Su dares to defend here, he must be prepared to hold on."

"Rather than following Ma Di's lead, we should find another way!"

"Find another way?"

"That's right." Jiang Ji seemed to have completely calmed down at this time, took out the map and pondered for a while.

"Since Ma Su chose to stick to it, it means that his troops are not good at mobile warfare. In other words, his logistical harassment of us is limited to the vicinity of this Wubao..."

"Pass my order to recruit all the nearby farmers and build a temporary road to bypass this fort!"

Isn’t it just a nail? If I can’t hit you, why can’t I hide from you? Since I don't have the ability to pull out your nail, I might as well change your lifeline.

Although the Chi Road is very expensive and cannot be built over long distances, it is still possible to build a short Chi Road to bypass Ma Di's location.

However, the general next to him hesitated for a moment and showed some hesitation about this.

"General, most of the farmers in Sizhou are military camps, and their only service is military service. We have not conscripted them..."

"Is this the time to consider this when the country is about to survive?" Jiang Ji was furious, looked directly at You and roared.

"Now they have to recruit people even if they don't have the power. Otherwise, if the Wei Dynasty falls, they will have no choice but to become refugees!"
