Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

Chapter 452 Sima Yi’s damaging move

Sima Yi made a comprehensive deployment in Tongguan and mobilized almost all the troops that could be mobilized. They gathered 40,000 troops in one go and stationed in Hu County, preparing to launch a wave of strong attacks after Cao Shuang went south to join them.

It has to be said that Sima Yi really attached great importance to Ma Su. In his deployment, in order to encircle and suppress Ma Su's mere 5,000 infantry, he dispatched 70,000 people at one go.

Even so, Sima Yi still thought he could not win, and even made a plan to defeat and flee. As long as he follows his strategic plan smoothly, he can bring out as many troops as possible, even if it is a huge defeat.

However, as soon as Sima Yi arrived in Hu County, something unexpected happened during the deployment.

Cao Shuang of Pubanjin refused to go south to join him, saying that this would isolate the Wei army. When the time comes, the Shu army will cross over from Fengling and attack the rear of the army during the battle with Ma Di. It will be bad.

Therefore, Cao Shuang decided to lead his troops across the river directly from the north of Pubanjin, and cooperated with the Wei army to attack Ma Di from the side.

Cao Shuang's request left Sima Yi speechless. If he hadn't been angry often, he would have wanted to kill Cao Shuang himself.

You have been tricked by Ma Su to the north bank of the Yellow River. If I had come two days late, Ma Su might have eaten me first. You've come to this point to still be stubborn and refuse to listen to greetings, right?

When we return to Luoyang, we have to deal with this pig teammate as soon as possible!

There was no way, Cao Shuang had to attack Ma Di directly from the north bank of the Yellow River, which caused Sima Yi's deployment to be overturned and reset. Especially since the 40,000 men he had on hand were all defeated soldiers with low morale. If they were not deployed properly, they might be destroyed by Ma Su.

Sima Yi's army rested in Hu County for another two days. Finally, with Guo Huai, Sun Li and Fei Yao as the vanguard, 40,000 troops rushed to Hongnong County in a mighty manner.

At this time, Ma Su had been waiting in Hongnong County for several days.

"Is Sima Yi, an old man, finally willing to come here? If he doesn't come again, I will wonder if he has found another way to detour." Ma Di stood on the top of Hongnong City, looking at the mighty siege towards him. Wei Jun came and shook his head disdainfully.

"Prince Taifu, don't worry. A certain person has already contacted the tribesmen on duty in the Wei army. As soon as the war starts, they will immediately disrupt the Wei army's morale and prevent them from attacking the city with all their strength." Yang Zhun walked out from behind Ma Su at this time, calmly said.

"Hongnong County is the home of my Yang family for generations. The people here are led by my Yang family. As long as we stick to the city and block the road to prevent them from passing through, the Wei army will definitely be defeated..."

"Stick to the city? Who said we should stick to the city?" Ma Di glanced at Yang Zhun inexplicably, shook his head slightly and said,

"I have already set up camp outside the city, preparing for the final battle with Sima Yi. How can I hide in the city at this time?"

"Huh??" Yang Zhun was immediately confused. Although he had heard over the years that Ji Han and Ma Su liked to fight more with less and were always aggressive and adventurous in war, he always thought it was just a rumor. Until today, Yang Zhun suddenly discovered that,

General Ma, are you serious?

"But don't be nervous, Mr. Yang, just watch me defeat the Wei army and avenge your former family leader Dezu!" Seeing Yang Zhun's unbelievable eyes, Ma Di just smiled and waved his hands, then dressed up and got ready to go into battle.

This battle was basically the last battle of the Northern Expedition. After Tongguan was recaptured, Guanzhong was completely recovered. After that, there will be a long period of recuperation. By then, Ma Su estimates that he will have no chance to go to the battlefield again until the Eastern Expedition again.

So what are you waiting for! Hurry up and have some fun one last time!

At this time, five thousand Han troops had formed a square formation under the command of Deng Fan and were ready.

When Ma Su was neatly dressed and riding his horse to the front of the battle, Deng Fan reported to Ma Su:

"General! The Wei army came in two groups. Sima Yi's 40,000 troops from the Tongguan direction, and Cao Shuang's 30,000 troops from Pubanjin unexpectedly."

"Looking at this posture, they are probably attacking our army from the north and south!"

"It doesn't matter! The harder they work, the more excited I am! It would be boring if they were timid." Ma Di waved his hand and said very confidently.

"Let's go! All troops move forward. Let's go meet the Sima officials. I've always wanted to talk to the person who accused Luoshui of farting in person."

In response, Deng Fan just nodded silently and quickly directed the Han army soldiers to march towards the Wei army.

In this way, five thousand Han troops met 40,000 Wei troops head-on on the plains of Hongnong County. Because Hongnong County was narrow, the Wei army could not fully deploy and stretched for several miles in front and back.

But in the face of the Wei army, which was nearly ten times their own, the morale of the Han army officers and soldiers was very high. On the contrary, most of Wei's soldiers showed fear on their faces and basically had no intention of fighting.

"The Han Chariot General, the Marquis of Lueyang Township, and the Crown Prince Tutor Ma Youchang, invite Sima Yi to come to the formation to talk about old times!" Ma Di personally rode his horse to the front of the formation and shouted to the Wei army.

Guo Huai, Sun Li and other generals in Guanzhong were all shocked when they heard Ma Su's invitation. However, what made them even more confused was that Sima Yi actually agreed after pondering for a while.

"Shu Zi wants to insult me ​​face to face, but I will definitely not be able to do what he wants! Look at me defeating Ma Su's spirit before the battle, and embolden the three armies!"

After hearing these words, Guo Huai and others were frightened, and they quickly wanted to dissuade them. If Sima Yi faints from Ma Su's anger again, the battle will really be unwinnable!

But Sima Yi had his own ideas. After whispering some instructions to his troops, Sima Yi defied all opinions and rode his horse to the front army in person.

Ma Di and Sima Yi have not seen each other for three years since the pursuit in the north. When Ma Di saw Sima Yi, who seemed to be more than 20 years older, his eyes were a little incomprehensible, and he greeted,

"Dare I ask if Sima Senior Official can still let his words slip?"

Sima Yi: “…”

Faced with someone who made it clear that he wanted to be angry with you, Sima Yi calmly shook his head and looked Ma Su up and down.

"Ma Youchang, if you called me here because you want to provoke me with words, you'd better save it."

"That's not true. I just wanted to see if the old man who pointed at Luo Shui and farted is still alive." Ma Di shrugged, glanced at Sima Yi, and suddenly laughed.

"Sima Zhongda, I remember that when the Guanzhong war first started, you eliminated me, the Prime Minister and Jiang Changshi one by one, saying that there was something wrong with our lifestyle."

"But now that you're always showing off...it doesn't seem to be much better than us, right?"

"Who is better than the other? It just depends on how hard it is to carry the burden. Are you right? King Sima Xuan?"

"First of all, I'm not the scumbag in your rumors who swore at Luo Shui and then went back on his word. I pay most attention to my promises in my life and have never gone back on my word." Sima Yi said calmly, without any emotion in his tone.

"At least so far, I, Sima Zhongda, have always had a clear conscience!"

"Haha, Sima Yi is destined to be engraved on the pillar of shame in history, and to be pointed at the spine by future generations and scolded for being shameless. What you did has made the oath become a fart from now on..." Ma Su rolled his eyes and rode forward. After walking a few steps, I decided to start a long speech.

However, Sima Yi did not give him this chance. When Ma Su came closer, a fierce look suddenly flashed in Sima Yi's eyes.

"Now, get ready!"

In just an instant, countless archers suddenly appeared in the Wei army's formation, all aiming at Ma Di!

"Fire the arrow! Shoot Ma Su!"
