Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Ma Su had better prepare early and plan a big job in Nanyang.

However, since the previous series of battles required his presence, the battle would be unwinnable if he died. Therefore, from the battles of attacking Ye County to defending Kunyang, Ma Su was very conservative in his battles.

That is to say, they were the first to ascend in Kunyang in person, divide their troops into multiple groups in the father city, and personally go to the top of the city to fight in the defense, etc. A series of conservative measures. This is still too low a challenge for Ma Su now.

Now Ma Su has a bigger appetite, and if he wants to die, he has to die more vigorously.

This time, facing Wang Ling in Runan, Ma Su found an opportunity.

At present, although Ma Su has delayed long enough, it has been two months since he captured Kunyang. However, because Cao Wei's Wancheng garrison was relatively good at politics and the powerful internal forces also wanted to be with Cao Wei, the Han army was unable to capture this place for a long time.

In this way, Ma Di had to continue to delay until Wancheng was captured. But looking at it now, Wang Ling can safely return to Dingling to attack Kunyang in half a month at most.

By then, Wang Ping's troops of less than 10,000 men would not be able to resist a frontal siege from a hundred thousand troops.

So at this time, the only way was for Ma Su to step forward and stop Wang Ling in Runan.

Therefore, despite the extremely high risk of Ma Di's arrangement, this is the only hope for the Han army to win. Facing the counterattack of Cao Wei's overwhelming power, it is impossible for the weak to win without taking risks.

Zhang He also saw this clearly and understood Ma Su's character relatively well. Even ten cows can't get rid of what Lao Ma believes, and it's useless to persuade him.

"Be safe, I'm waiting for you to come back and treat me to a drink." Zhang He patted Ma Su on the shoulder and said the last word expressionlessly.

"Maybe... wait until I come back." Ma Di smiled and nodded, waving his hand to set a flag.

"Oh yeah, hold this for me."

"what's that?"

"The military order I just wrote..."

"Get out!"

…………

After Wuyin rested for a few days, Ma Di's song basically came to rest. Then Ma Su led more than 7,000 infantry and nearly 3,000 cavalry out of the narrow Wuyin passage again and entered Runan.

At this time, Wang Ling had been guarding Xiacai for several days and was gradually coming to his senses.

Ma Su had 10,000 people. If he really wanted to keep him at that time, he would have suffered huge losses if the entire army was sent out. But now after the war, when taking inventory, most of the losses were caused by self-trampling, but there were not many losses in the battle with the Shu army.

This is not a long-planned siege, this is clearly a deceitful and empty city strategy!

Ma Su was scaring him from the beginning to the end, and had no real intention of fighting him! What's funny is that he was so frightened by the opponent that he immediately ran away.

The light trampled on each other and killed thousands. Counting the missing and captured people, a total of five thousand soldiers disappeared directly into the Wei army's battle sequence.

And with just a few days of delay, Qin Lang and Cao Shuang are probably finished. In response to this, Wang Ling's blood pressure was a little higher, and he didn't know what to do next.

The Han army has now blocked the small gate in the south of Nanyang and the narrow Wuyin passage. They will definitely not be able to get in if they fight hard. Moreover, since Ma Su was in Wuyin, Wang Ling did not dare to return to Dingling. After all, once he left, the whole of Runan would never have peace.

If the Shu army is allowed to unite with Soochow, whose army is currently fighting against Huainan, Southeast Asia will probably be completely doomed.

Therefore, Wang Ling was in a dilemma whether he was advancing or retreating.

Fortunately, Ma Di helped him and quickly told him what to do.

In just a few days, the scouts rushed to report, and Ma Su led thousands of Shu troops out of Wuyin. At this moment, three thousand Han cavalry had already marched from Wuyin to Ancheng under the banner of "Han March Northern General's Horse", and the vanguard had already crossed Ru River.

In the southern part of Runan, tens of thousands of Guishan bandits rebelled against Runan, seemingly responding to the Shu army's move southward.

After this round, Wang Ling knew what to do. He quickly divided his troops to defend Xia Cai, and then personally led the main force south to defend An City. At this time, the entire Huainan was extremely important, and allowing Ma Su to conquer a city in Runan would be extremely detrimental to the situation.

You know, Lu Xun's Wu army has crossed the Lujiang River and entered Anfeng County. This also resulted in Wang Ling not only having to keep an eye on Ma Su, but also having to guard against Lu Xun who was about to spank him in the back.

The pressure on the southern front is increasing...

However, Wang Ling led 30,000 troops and horses quickly southward by water, rushing to aid Ancheng along the way. But when he was about to arrive in Ancheng, Wang Ling received new information.

After Ma Su led 3,000 cavalry across Ru River, he turned around again and headed north again, brushing against the Wei army. At the same time, the main force of the Han army, nearly 8,000 men, came out of Wuyin, marched north from Wufang, and headed towards Ying County.

Wang Ling suddenly understood that he had been transferred out of the way!

Ma Su's target is not Runan at all. This guy just wants to trick me into going south, and then take advantage of the gap to go north!

The cunning and cunning Ma Su once again took advantage of the honest man Wang Ling.

After Wang Ling reacted, he quickly led his troops back north again, but it was already a little too late.

There were not many Wei troops left in Xia Cai, and the Shu troops did not dare to leave the city in the face of Ma Su. As a result, the Shu army could pass through Xia Cai unimpeded and attacked Dingying County, two hundred miles north of Xia Cai.

Dingying County was Ma Su's carefully selected and final location for his settlement.

This place is located north of Runan, just stuck on the waterway network for the Wei army to return to Dingling. Moreover, this is one of the few places on the Runan Plain where the terrain can be relied upon.

The rest of the area is flat. Although it is suitable for three thousand cavalry, it is too difficult for infantry to hold on. In particular, Ma Su also needs to divide his troops into multiple routes, which makes the difficulty even higher.

The most important thing is that Dingying is not far from Yingchuan. With Ma Di stationed here, the Wei army cannot safely attack Kunyang. Therefore, even if Soochow defeated Hefei, Wang Ling would not dare to rush north to join forces to attack Kunyang until he could not deal with Ma Su.

Therefore, Dingying is the most ideal place for Ma Su to stay.

After Wang Ling anxiously led his troops back to Xia Cai, he quickly learned of Ma Su's latest moves.

"Dingying? Ma Su is stationed here. Could it be that he wants to go north to threaten Yingchuan?" Wang Ling was a little nervous. Looking at the series of actions of the Shu army, his mind could no longer keep up.

Ma Su moved so fast that Wang Ling, who was already in his sixties, was already a little confused.

However, judging from the map, the location of Ma Su's garrison was too close to Xudu. That position is not only the pass of the grain road, but also the only way for the army to return north. It cannot be occupied by the enemy under any circumstances.

So without any hesitation, Wang Ling made the decision to send troops, preparing to go north to attack the Shu army in Dingying.
