Chapter 181: Supporting Nanzhong
"Your Majesty, what the hell is going on?" Chen Zhi asked, there are a lot of things involved in this matter, and it is by no means just the role of 5,000 people, there must be other things hidden behind it!
"This matter is still under investigation, this is just the latest news!" Liu Chan replied in a deep voice.
"This matter must not be simple, according to the prime minister's plan, this time they are divided into three ways to go south, and Ma Zhong's department is in the east, and what they have to deal with is Zhu Bao's department, Zhu Bao's department is the weakest, about two or three thousand people, and the prime minister has prepared three thousand Shu troops to be incorporated into Ma Zhong's department, with a total of no less than five thousand, how can the whole army be wiped out silently!"
"If they are defeated by the enemy, the enemy army must be extremely strong, after their defeat of Ma Zhong's department, it is equivalent to opening the road to Yongchang County, Ma Zhong's East Route Army is full of roads, and the rapid march only takes about two days to reach Yongchang, according to the deployment of the prime minister, Yongchang County is afraid that there are not many soldiers!"
In fact, this is also what Liu Chan is worried about, it is still easy to calculate the number of people, after a while, there are not many people in Yongchang, and Liu Chan even thought in his heart, Kong Ming will not sing the empty city plan in advance, this is not the Northern Expedition, and the enemy army may not be Sima Yi!
Looking at the map, Liu Chan also kept thinking: "Shuzhi, you take 2,000 people to Nanzhong, try to disturb Nanzhong, delay the rebels in Nanzhong if necessary, and if possible, it is best to annihilate them!" ”
After Liu Chan recalled, he remembered that he had read the information about the southern expedition of Shu, the number of rebels at that time was only about 30,000 before Meng Shu joined, and now the news from Beishui that Kong Ming has encircled and suppressed more than 10,000 people and horses in Gaoding, then even if it is full of calculations, detain the remaining people and horses, this force that annihilated Ma Zhong, the number of people and horses is the largest number of 10,000 people, and the combat power should not be low Chen Dao, the four thousand dragoons who are favored! After all, Chen Zhi was already an eighth-level formation general, and with the power of the array spirit, he could fight against the ninth-level talisman master and the ninth-level mystic.
Therefore, no matter what, Liu Chan didn't think that Chen Zhi's army would have an accident, after all, they didn't make a move against Zhuge Liang's Western Route Army, and the reason for this was a little intriguing, in Liu Chan's opinion, there was inevitably no reason for the lack of strength.
Time returned to half a month ago, since Zhuge Liang divided the troops, Ma Zhong, who was in charge of the East Road, personally led more than 5,000 people to march from the Great Road, which was the fastest for a while, and it was less than a thousand miles away from Jike County.
At this time, there was a mountain stream in front of him, and it was windy at this time, and the wind blew through the mountain stream, making a whining sound, like a ghost crying wolf.
"Why is this place so weird?"
Looking at the mountain stream in front of him and listening to the disturbing whistling sound, Ma Zhong's expression revealed a trace of boredom.
"Back to the governor, through here it is not far from the county of Ke, the county is surrounded by mountains, there is only this one gap, regarded as the throat valley, and is in the tuyere, whenever the spring and autumn are windy, there is a ghost crying wolf howling, so it is also called the ghost stream, and there is also the meaning of the county of Ke in the palm of the hand!"
Riding the horse forward slowly, observing the mountain stream mouth for a long time, Ma Zhong sighed with some emotion: "This place is nearly a thousand meters long, and there are high mountains and dangerous mountains on both sides, and it is the key to the entry and exit of Jike County, and it is a good place for ambush!" ”
"Don't worry, just rely on Zhu Bao's house, how could he choose to set up an ambush here, and the only intersection is just the official road, although there are mountains around, it's not that there is no road to walk, so it's not completely closed!" The left and right staff generals caught up and said.
After hesitating for a moment, Ma Zhong still made a decision: "Go forward quickly, pass through here!" ”
With a drink, Ma Zhong rode his horse ahead, and the army followed closely and set off quickly towards the mountain stream.
The style in the mountain stream is extraordinarily big, and what Ma Zhong is doing is against the wind, and there are many obstacles to the road!
The front army marched to the center of the mountain stream, and the rear army had already entered the mountain stream, at this time, a burst of roaring sounds, as if the sky had collapsed, and huge rolling stones fell from the sky, towards the Shu army led by Ma Zhong, and were injured for a time, killing countless people.
The dust was flying, which made the Shu army chaotic, and in the field, I only heard Ma Zhong constantly shouting: "Steady, steady!" ”
Ma Zhong's shouts didn't have much effect for a while, the rolling stones kept hitting the ground, people turned over on their backs, shouts, and the neighing of war horses were mixed with heavy falling sounds.
Finally, after a while, the falling stones stopped, and at this time, I saw the front and back of the Shu army, among the mountain streams, the passage had been completely blocked, and it was twenty meters high.
glanced at everyone around, although they were a little embarrassed, and there were some casualties, but fortunately, they were still under control, after all, there were elite soldiers left over from the previous emperor, and most of the dead and injured were the soldiers and horses of the headquarters led by Ma Zhong.
"Haha!"
Just when the Shu army had just stabilized, a wanton laughter came from outside and echoed in the mountain stream.
Looking up, on the high mountains on both sides of the mountain stream, there were many rebels, judging from their clothing, they were indeed Zhu Bao's subordinate soldiers of Jike County.
"Zhu Bao, you are a big rebel, you actually rebelled against the big man, you will not die a good death!"
Zhu Bao, Ma Zhong is recognized, after all, Ma Zhong is not like Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, he rarely comes to Nanzhong, he is a subordinate official of Nanzhong, and he lives in Nanzhong all the year round, so he has met Zhu Bao a few times.
"Haha, the first emperor is dead, why do you have to follow Shu and the boy emperor in Chengdu? Something is the opposite, what do you do to me? ”
"You! Zhu Bao, I will kill you! ”
"Haha, Ma Zhong, I know that you have also entered the seventh-order mystic realm, and the strength of this sixth-order is naturally not comparable to you, but I advise you to see the surrounding situation clearly, you have been ambushed, your life is in the hands of someone, how can you take the risk of fighting you?"
Hearing this, Ma Zhong sneered: "Zhu Bao, can you trap someone with these?" Behind a certain person these people are the elite of Shu, how can this kind of ambush work, it won't take long for a certain person to rush out, seize your nest, and cut off your dog's head! Do you think you can stop it? ”
I saw that Zhu Bao was abnormal, and he said very innocently: "I really can't stop it, but ...... I've got helpers, haha! ”
"Master Strategist! Please come out! ”
I saw Zhu Bao shouting at the opposite side.
"Strategist?" Hearing this title, Ma Zhong was also confused, he had never heard of this person before, so he couldn't help but look in the direction that Zhu Bao was concerned about.
After waiting for a while, I saw a person wearing a gray cloth shirt and a mask on his head, appearing on the side of the mountain stream in Ma Zhong's eyes, and with his appearance, thousands of people rumbled on both sides of the mountain stream, so that the number of rebels was seven or eight thousand, and they still occupied a favorable terrain, at this time Ma Zhong's heart also had a slight fluctuation, and he was not as confident as before.
Seeing this, the iron-masked military master glanced down, and immediately spoke: "The person who came is General Ma Zhong, the governor of Shumen?" If the general surrenders, he will be spared death! ”
