Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Chapter 213 Surprise attack from behind

While Cao Zhen was still thinking about going back to settle matters, Jiang Wei and Liu Yin quickly came out with their troops.

Ziwu Valley is too narrow, and the troops and horses of both sides cannot spread out at all. There are actually only a few people who are actually facing the enemy.

But even so, it did not delay Jiang Wei and Liu Yin's offensive at all. Jiang Wei and Liu Yin advanced together and attacked the Wei army's front army.

At this time, the Wei army had been marching hard for half a month in the heavy rain in Ziwu Valley. Every soldier was exhausted physically and mentally, and those who were even slightly weak would have died in the valley. Before the decisive battle, they had suffered serious non-combat attrition, with thousands of dead before and after.

They were different from the Shu army. The place where Ma Su was stationed was safe from the rain, and there were basically few tired people in the Shu army.

On the one hand, I am waiting for work in leisure, on the other hand, I am exhausted physically and mentally. Comparing the two sides, the Wei army was simply unable to resist the Shu army's offensive.

"Kill!!" Jiang Wei held a long sword and rushed straight into the crowd. Wherever the sword touched, the Wei army was all frightened. In just one breath, Jiang Wei killed several Wei soldiers.

Jiang Wei is much better than Ma Di, the lucky guy with unparalleled luck. His martial arts are extremely powerful. We are now in our twenties, the peak of a person's energy and blood!

With the support of all parties, Jiang Wei seemed to be unparalleled in the Wei army. Anyone who tried to fight him was basically chopped to the ground.

Compared to Jiang Wei, Liu Yin's martial arts skills are still slightly inferior. But even so, under the protection of his personal guards, Liu Yin was able to kill all the enemies who resisted.

The two sides fought desperately on the narrow mountain road. The sounds of shouts, wails, and the clash of weapons were intertwined, and they kept revolving over the Ziwu Valley for a long time.

Soldiers continued to fall, and people continued to be squeezed down the valley by the chaotic battlefield.

But in general, the Shu army still took advantage. With Jiang Wei and Liu Yin's attack, the Wei army's front was pushed back.

But at this time, Cao Zhen also arrived on the frontline battlefield.

"No retreat! The troops are pressing forward!" Cao Zhen immediately gave the order and switched his troops to supervise the troops and strictly prohibited the soldiers from retreating.

The Wei army has 30,000 troops, stretching for dozens of miles, and cannot retreat at all. If the front army is forced to retreat by the Shu army, the Wei army in the rear will be continuously crowded.

By that time, no one knows how many people will die from being trampled on each other, and how many people will fall to the bottom.

This is the biggest drawback of Ziwu Valley. The mountain road is too narrow, making it difficult for large corps to deploy. Once an enemy army intercepts and kills in the valley, the army will suffer huge losses.

The total strength of the Shu army was only three thousand, and blocking them on a narrow mountain road was enough to overwhelm the Wei army.

After Cao Zhen supervised the battle team, he began to block the former sergeants who tried to retreat. Anyone who retreated was killed and their bodies were mercilessly thrown to the bottom of the valley.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

Along with the sound of killing, more than a dozen soldiers were hacked to death in the valley by their own family members.

The sharp knife from behind struck, and the former sergeant suddenly did not dare to retreat. Through this step, Cao Zhen barely stabilized the retreat of the front army.

But this alone is not enough, because the Shu army is still advancing with all its strength.

Cao Zhen quickly transferred all the crossbowmen, swordsmen, shieldmen and spearmen to the front army. Facing the Shu army's offensive, the Wei army responded with strong crossbows, and its own soldiers who were already fighting with the Shu army were completely abandoned.

"Zhong Quan, I will go to the rear army immediately and order them to retreat as soon as possible. You stay in command of the front army. You must not let the front army collapse before the central army evacuates. Do you understand?" Cao Zhen finished a series of arrangements and quickly Xiahou Ba pulled him over and gave him instructions.

Now we must let the rear army retreat for more than ten miles to give the army space to retreat slowly. Otherwise, once the Shu army receives follow-up reinforcements and rushes to kill them, the Wei army may lose more than 10,000 people in Ziwu Valley.

"General Cao, why don't we divide our troops and take a small road to intercept the Shu army's rear?" Xiahou Ba had calmed down at this time. Seeing that the Shu army had few soldiers, he immediately thought of something to say.

"How can we find the little one without a guide...wait a minute!" Cao Zhen responded subconsciously, but for a moment his eyes suddenly widened.

This section of Ziwu Valley is the territory of their Shu Han regime. Are there any trails here? Do they know better than Cao Zhen?

Could it be...

Before he could say anything, he heard the roar of the Chinese army!

"Oops! You fell into the trap of the Shu people!"

Three quarters of an hour ago,

"This fucking road is too difficult. I never want to walk through the Ziwu Valley again in my life!" Ma Di struggled to browse through a gap in the rocks, and casually grabbed a soldier who almost fell into the valley. He felt helpless about the difficulty of the road.

The road to Shu is difficult. The road to Shu is difficult. This saying is indeed true.

He took two thousand soldiers from his family who were good at mountain walking on the trail. As a result, several soldiers fell into the valley within a few steps. Not long after walking, one of the soldiers sprained his foot and was hit by gravel...

In short, the difficulty of traveling on the Shu Road was beyond Ma Su's imagination. This was his first time marching, and the non-combat attrition was so terrifying.

"No wonder the Prime Minister didn't let Wei Yan go through the Ziwu Valley. Anyone who makes a prepared interception in the valley is in danger of being annihilated..."

However, at this moment, a scout emerged from the front and reported to Ma Su in panic.

"General! Wei Jun is found ahead!"

"Wei Jun?" Ma Su's expression suddenly changed, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible? Why is there Wei Jun here? Why did Wei Jun come to Ziwu Valley?"

"I don't know. I just saw the word "Wei" on their flag, and I don't recognize the rest." The scout replied.

Ma Su squinted his eyes, recalled it carefully, and suddenly thought of something.

Historically, after Zhuge Liang failed in his second Northern Expedition to Chencang, Cao Wei planned an expedition to Shu.

At that time, Cao Zhen, the general of Cao Wei, planned to dispatch three armies to attack Hanzhong. Among them, the main force of Cao's army planned to surprise Hanzhong from Ziwu Valley.

Then because of heavy rain, all three Wei armies were affected. Especially the main force of Cao's army in Ziwu Valley suffered a lot due to the heavy rain...

etc? heavy rain?

It was only then that Ma Su suddenly grasped the key issue. After thinking about it carefully, Ma Su suddenly understood everything.

He just happened to encounter one of the heavy rainstorms in history, which caused the road to be blocked. Not only that, a large number of Wei troops also appeared here, which means that the three-pronged expedition against Shu planned by Cao Zhen has begun.

"I didn't expect that I was about to give up my plan, but you, Cao Wei, actually came to greet me!" Ma Di laughed, threw his helmet on the ground, drew his sword and said to Bu Qu.

"Soldiers, pick up your weapons! Follow me and stab Wei Jun in the waist!"
