Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

The offensive and defensive battle in Kunyang continued until dusk, and the Wei army in Huainan was finally defeated and began to flee. However, the Han soldiers who had already killed them did not care at all and began to pursue the fleeing Wei army.

Among them, Longwu Yicong had to withdraw into the city early due to severe physical exhaustion. In addition, the remaining Han troops, led by Ma Su, howled and launched a counter-pursuit.

Thousands of soldiers and horses chase tens of thousands of enemy troops. This situation is still rare.

At this moment, the Wei army basically lost the courage to fight back, and the entire army began to evacuate towards the camp. Ma Su pursued them relentlessly, not giving them a chance to breathe, and tried his best to kill a few more Wei soldiers.

They chased him for several miles and killed several Wei military captains who tried to resist. In the end, they even pursued them to the outside of the Wei army's camp, and the two sides started fighting for a while outside the Wei army's camp.

Finally, it was not until the reinforcements from both wings of the Wei army arrived that the Han army gave up the pursuit and evacuated. But even so, before leaving, Ma Di personally went into battle and killed two Wei army captains.

This battle almost destroyed the morale of the Wei army in Huainan. If it weren't for the overwhelming number of people and Ma Su's small number of soldiers, he would not be able to expand his advantage. This battle would be enough to destroy the main force of the Wei army in Huainan.

Of course, the biggest result of this battle was that Ma Zhong shot Man Chong seriously injured with a single arrow from the Eight Ox Crossbow. A group of personal guards rescued Man Chong back, but the military doctor took one look and wanted to run away.

The entire shoulder was crushed, and the blood flow couldn't stop. In addition, Man Chong himself is old and cannot hold on anymore.

As a result, the great governor of Huainan, the great talent of Yingchuan who used dozens of people to scare away Sun Quan, died in the camp outside the city without a word of explanation after rescuing him for a day and a night.

Once Man Chong died, the 70,000 Huainan Wei army was basically leaderless, and there was no possibility of continuing to attack Kunyang. Not only that, because of fear of Ma Su's reputation, even the Wei army that besieged Ye County was withdrawn.

After Lieutenant General Man Chong temporarily took over the command, all Wei armies evacuated one after another, and basically all retreated to the Hedong area. There were only a few thousand soldiers and horses stationed in Hexi, and they still had to be cautious to prevent a sneak attack by Ma Di.

At the same time, there was an urgent report to the central government, saying that the governor was killed in the battle and the Huainan army was demoralized. If the central government cannot send new leaders to supervise the army in time, it may be impossible to win Kunyang.

The information was quickly sent to Luoyang and passed to Cao Rui. This battle report left Cao Rui puzzled.

"What happened! What happened to Man Chong! The dignified Governor of Huainan was shot to death by an arrow?" Cao Rui could hardly understand the way of death. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out.

You, a great governor, commanded the troops in the Chinese army to attack the city. How did the Shu army shoot you to death from such a long distance? And it's impartial, one arrow hits the target and hits the shoulder, giving you seconds.

Is it possible that Qianman Chong was like Ma Su, who was so confused that he went to board first in person?

But even so, Cao Rui didn't panic too much.

Without him, Cao Rui had considered what would happen if Man Chong lost from the beginning and made preparations for it. So even though Man Chong's death was unexpected, Cao Rui was at least somewhat mentally prepared.

"How are Wang Ling's preparations in Xuchang? Let him go to Dingling as soon as possible to take over as the governor of Huainan and take over the Huainan army." Cao Rui waved his hand and sighed, as if he wanted to say all the vicissitudes of life.

Wang Ling was Cao Ruiliu's back-up man, and was planned to be the backbone force responsible for stationing in Xudu to support Man Chong at any time. If Man Chong is defeated by Ma Su, the Yuzhou army led by Wang Ling can attack at any time.

It's a pity that Man Chong's defeat was a bit outrageous. The army was not defeated but the commander died. There was no other way, Cao Rui could only let Wang Ling take over temporarily.

At the same time, Cao Rui ordered Jiang Ji to go to Xuchang as a reserve commander to take over Wang Ling's job. At the same time, Wang Xiong, the governor of Youzhou, went south into Puyang as preparation, ready to support the Yuzhou front line at any time.

Don't say anything. I, Cao Wei, have many officials who can take charge of my duties on my own. There are a lot of famous generals in Guandong. I will fight with you Ma Su today.

Isn't it just that a full pet died? If you have the ability, go ahead and kill him!

At this moment, Cao Rui mobilized all the officials in Guandong who could take charge of their own affairs. Except for the remaining troops in Hefei and the garrison in Xuzhou, all other troops were mobilized to Yingchuan.

Nanyang must not be lost, even if it means blocking the fate of Guandong. After all, once this place is lost, the Luoyang Basin will basically be threatened, and even Guanzhong will be threatened.

By then, the Shu Han will no longer be a so-called border danger, but will become a force threatening Luoyang. Maybe Cao Rui would have to move the capital, which is an absolutely unacceptable price.

Therefore, even if the governor of Huainan died in battle, even if he lost consecutive battles, Cao Rui would still continue to mobilize his forces to capture Nanyang. At least the Shu army must not be allowed to occupy the entire Nanyang, otherwise everything will be bad.

When Cao Rui mobilized the main force in Guandong and took out his family wealth to smash Nanyang, Sima Yi was in Guanzhong and Zhuge Liang had been fighting for a long time.

Ever since Ma Di's army left Wudang and quickly launched an offensive across Nanyang, Sima Yi knew that Zhuge Liang was feigning an attack.

But it's one thing to see it, and another thing to dare to attack.

At least in the battle at Pingyangqiu in Liangzhou, Sima Yi was completely defeated. Less than 30,000 Shu troops relied on a hill and almost defeated Sima Yi when the Wei army attacked from two sides.

This was only a year ago. Who knows how far the Shu army's combat power has developed now. Even though he now has 100,000 elite soldiers in Guanzhong, he still defends the pass and refuses to fight.

If you don't seek death, you won't die. This is a truth that Sima Yi understood very early. As long as I'm not greedy, you, Zhuge Liang, can't take advantage of me.

Facing 40,000 Shu troops, a hundred thousand troops took measures to defend the pass. This scene seemed outrageous, but it made both Wei and Shu feel normal.

As for the situation in Nanyang, Sima Yi was very relaxed when facing the generals. When someone asked about Ma Di's threat in Nanyang, Sima Yi just smiled and commented,

"Ma Su is fond of soldiers but has no plan. He loves martial arts but never cuts off. How can he last long? All he needs is Governor Mandu to come out and he will be able to kill this kid. There is no need to worry."

Master Sima was very curious about this, so when Sima Yi was inspecting, he quietly grabbed his father and asked.

"Father, I heard that the Shu army has occupied most of Nanyang and is besieging Wancheng with a large army. Ma Di himself is defending Kunyang and is at loggerheads with the Mandu Governor."

"Now we send troops to attack from Wuguan and attack Nanyang with the Huainan army. Wouldn't it be easier to achieve great success?"

"I won't go." Sima Yi looked at Master Sima, looking very calm, and replied calmly.

"I am not responsible for Nanyang, so why should I send troops to Nanyang for reinforcements?"

"What's more, Man Chong is greedy for merit and jealous. If he leads a hundred thousand people to attack Kunyang, he is bound to win. If I send troops to Nanyang at this time, Man Chong will definitely hate me. It's better not to go."
