"A game within a game?"

In the camp, as soon as Sima Yi's words came out, even the temperature dropped, Yang Xiu's complexion changed greatly, and he couldn't believe it: "General, this is impossible!" ”

If the Wu army counter-encircled them, it could be regarded as abundant.

But if the Wu army wants to surround the 100,000 Northern Wolf Guards led by Ma Chao, it is simply impossible.

"Why can't it be?" Sima Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.

"General, Ma Chao now has 100,000 Northern Wolf Guards in his hands, the Northern Wolf Guards are the elite of our Wei army, some of them are elite veterans left over from the bloody battle in Youzhou, and the other part is the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, among which the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is the most ferocious, and the Wu Army in Liangzhou, as we know, the main force is basically surrounding us now, who can still besiege him?"

Yang Xiu said in a deep voice.

After the end of the Kwantung War, the Wei army reorganized the soldiers and horses in the east, reorganized all the remnants, and formed the main force of the three guards to guard against the attack of the Wu army in the east.

Only the Northern Wolf Guard, which is mainly composed of the elite Xiliang soldiers in the hands of Ma Chao, plus the elite veterans who broke through Zhang Liao from Youzhou, has excellent combat effectiveness.

This army is definitely the most elite of the entire Wei army.

If you want to besiege him, you need at least more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, otherwise even if it is the same strength, Ma Chao can break through if he is invincible, and he can't trap him at all, after all, Ma Chao has an elite Xiliang iron cavalry in his hands, even if he falls into a heavy siege and breaks through.

The most important thing is that most of the main forces of the two legions of the Wu army are on the battlefield of Baitou Mountain, and now they can't draw so many soldiers and horses in Liangzhou.

"It's because we think it's impossible, and I think it's the most likely!"

Sima Yi thought about it, and with a flash of inspiration, he walked to the front of the bookcase, and then picked up the pen and ink, and wrote the names of the nine legions under the command of the Great Wu Dynasty on a blank piece of paper in turn: "If the Wu army wants to besiege and kill the Northern Wolf Guard, there must be an ambush that we don't know about has been ambushed near the street pavilion!" ”

"The general suspects that the Wu army has already mobilized a legion into Xiliang without telling us?"

When Yang Xiu heard this, he was suddenly a little shocked.

If that's the case, then they're in big trouble.

"Not a doubt, I'm sure!"

Sima Yi squinted slightly, and then picked up the pen and began to analyze the nine legions on the white paper one by one, he first crossed out the names of the Flying Tiger Legion and the Flame Legion: "When the Battle of Xiliang started, the Kwantung side also pulled out soldiers and horses to feint to attack the Wu army, even if it didn't move the real thing, since the formation of the double hair pulled, it was difficult for the soldiers and horses to cheat, so it was impossible for these two legions to be mobilized!" ”

"The Blood Wolf Legion and the Wild Lion Legion in Youzhou Jizhou are also impossible, if they want to come, they can only come from Bingzhou, once they come from Bingzhou, Ma Chao must be on guard!"

"The Western Expeditionary Corps is in the Western Regions, and far water can't save the near fire!"

"The Sea Eagle Legion is a navy, and the combat effectiveness of going ashore is insufficient!"

Under such a simple analysis, eight of the nine legions of Great Wu have gone, and there is only one left, Sima Yi looked at it, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little heavy: "The first main army of the Wu army, the central army is in Xiliang!" ”

He was also taken aback by this conclusion.

If the facts really meet his analysis, this catastrophe is not only Ma Chao, but he will also be difficult to overcome.

"Won't it?"

Yang Xiu's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "The Central Army has been in Jinling City, and there are many spies of ghost pawns staring at them, these are more than a dozen soldiers, if hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are mobilized, how can they hide the eyes of ghost pawns?" ”

"It's not possible in general, but it's not impossible!"

Sima Yi thought for a while and said: "If it were me, I would choose to break it into pieces and let them rest day and night, and the Wu army has a warship, which can go north along the Yangtze River, so as to avoid a lot of ears and eyes, and enter Bashu, there is no need to worry, go north to Liangzhou directly, as long as they don't show the battle flag, even if the spies find out, they just think that the main force of the two legions of Bashu and War Elephant will not suspect the Central Army, hide from the sky and the sea, and then give us a hard blow!" ”

"Then we ......"

Yang Xiu's face couldn't help but turn a little pale.

"I asked you to send out the scouts in the street pavilion, did you send them out?" Sima Yi asked suddenly.

It's all just his guess, and he has to verify it.

The street pavilion battlefield is the best verification.

"I've sent it out!"

Yang Xiu took a deep breath, calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "But if you want to respond, I'm afraid it will take at least a day and a night!" ”

"In Longxian, how is Cao Zhangbu?" Sima Yi asked again.

"This ......" Yang Xiu was a little hesitant.

"Say!" Sima Yi suddenly felt uneasy and shouted.

"Report to the general, as early as three days ago, in fact, His Royal Highness King Peng had already led his troops north to the Street Pavilion, and joined forces with the Northern Wolf Guard in the north to besiege and kill the Ninth Army of the Wu Army!" Yang Xiudao.

"Damn, didn't my previous military order let him lead the troops to stick to Longxian?"

When Sima Yi heard this, his eyes flashed slightly with a cold light.

Now the situation has changed greatly, many situations have exceeded his expectations, and even the offensive and defensive positions have been reversed, his soldiers and horses have been semi-surrounded by the Wu army, if Longxian is taken by the Wu army, then he will really be caught in the urn.

"General, I'm sorry, this is my miscalculation, His Royal Highness King Peng is young and vigorous, how can they defend Longxian County!" Yang Xiu sighed: "I didn't care much when I knew it before, Longxian was dispensable for us, but I didn't expect it to become our only way to live!" ”

"Sima Kui!"

Sima Yi stood up and shouted outside the camp gate.

"In!"

Sima Kui was also injured when he besieged Chen Dao, but he was fine, he was still in good spirits, he strode in and stood by.

"You immediately lead 8,000 cavalry, non-stop, and rush to Longxian!"

Sima Yi thought for a while: "If you encounter Wu Jun, don't fall in love with the war, retreat immediately!" ”

"No!"

Sima Kui nodded and led the order, led 8,000 cavalry to Zhangjiazhen immediately, and went towards Longxian non-stop.

"General, what if Longxian is taken by the Wu army?" Yang Xiu said worriedly.

"Then there's only one way left!"

Sima Yi's eyes were cold and resolute: "To the north, walk the street pavilion, meet Ma Chao, with our soldiers and horses plus Ma Chao's soldiers and horses, even if the Wu army is overwhelmed, we can put it to death and survive!" ”

He still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Ma Chao has 100,000 elites, which add up to a Jedi life.

――――――――――――――――――――

Night falls.

Long.

This small county, at the beginning of the Wu army stationed, forming an encirclement, and then Chen Zhi gave up, let Cao Zhang take it, after several changes, and finally fell into the hands of the Wu army, Cao Zhang led the troops north to the street pavilion, so that Zhuge Liang led the eleventh army smoothly stationed.

After the Eleventh Army entered Longxian, it did not rush north to Jieting, but camped on the spot.

"Is there any report from the west?"

Zhuge Liang sat in the camp, followed the light of the oil lamp, looked at the battle reports of all parties in his hand, and asked with a slight concern.

"Not yet!"

The answer to his question was Jiang Qin, the commander of the Eleventh Army: "However, we found traces of the Wei army at the location of Zhangjiazhen not far to the west, if this is the main force of the Wei army, it means that they have withdrawn from Baitou Mountain, but what is the result of the battle of Baitou Mountain, there is no news yet!" ”

"Let Jinyiwei step up the contact, I want to know the battle situation in Baitou Mountain as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

"And how is the battle going in the north?" Zhuge Liang continued to ask.

In the first battle of Jieting, the pressure on the Ninth Army was too great, and he was a little afraid that the Ninth Army would not be able to bear it.

"Commander, Jinyiwei just came with news from the Jieting, although Ma Chao forced our Ninth Army to retreat into Longshan, but he was also attacked from behind by Pang Tong's troops, and there were many casualties!" Jiang Qin replied.

"Pang Tong came so quickly, as far as I know, the two legions of blood wolf and mad lion did not move, where are Pang Tong's soldiers and horses?" When Zhuge Liang heard this, he was slightly stunned, and the corners of his mouth outlined a playful smile.

He knows that his junior brother is extremely intelligent and has top military strategies, but his style is a little peculiar and he likes to make dangerous moves.

It's good to be natural.

But once defeated, it is easy to involve oneself and die on the spot.

"It's the Xianbei army!" Jiang Qin replied.

"Xianbei, hahaha!"

Zhuge Liang's eyes widened, and he immediately laughed: "Okay, Pang Tong's trick is used well, using Xianbei troops to consume Xianbei's strength, and he can also surprise Ma Chao, delay time for us, kill two birds with one stone!" ”

The Xianbei tribe was originally a big hidden danger in Youzhou of the Great Wu Dynasty, if this battle could consume the strength of the Xianbei tribe, it would be much easier to assimilate the Xianbei tribe in the future.

The Great Wu Dynasty embraced all rivers, and there were not a few foreign races conquered over the years, such as the Karasuma tribe, the Goryeo Dynasty, the Shanyue tribe, the Wuxi Barbarian tribe, and the Nanban tribe, all of which are now gradually assimilated.

But Xianbei and Xiongnu are different, these two giant tribes of the northern steppes cannot be conquered in a moment.

Zhuge Liang had to admit that Pang Tong's move was too good, using the power of Xianbei to cut off Ma Chao's way of life, but it also consumed Xianbei's strength, the greater the consumption of Xianbei, the greater the possibility of surrender in the future.

"But Commander, their night attack didn't damage Ma Chao's vitality!" Jiang Qin said: "Although Ma Chao has suffered a lot of damage, but the main force is still there, and now the war is going on both sides, on the one hand, blocking Pang Tong's Xianbei army, and on the other hand, he can also divide his forces to surround Longshan, wanting to force the Ninth Army to death!" ”

"After all, Ma Chao has 100,000 male soldiers, and he is not so easy to deal with!"

Zhuge Liang was not surprised by this, if he could eliminate Ma Chao in a casual battle, they would not have to work so hard to arrange this trap, he looked at the marching map in front of him, and said: "What I want to know is, where is the main force of the Central Army now?" ”

"The day before we entered Longxian, they only went north from Longxian, and now it is estimated that they have surrounded Jieting!"

"Good!"

Zhuge Liang was overjoyed, with a hint of hope in his voice: "I hope that the Central Army led by Commander Ju Yi can annihilate Ma Chao's Northern Wolf Guard in one fell swoop, and if this battle is won, we can be regarded as truly laying the victory!" ”

From the beginning of the war to the present, the Wu army has gradually gained the upper hand in the war.

On the two battlefields of Hanyang, the Wei army fell into the encirclement of the Wu army, but no one dared to pat their chests and say that you would definitely be able to kill the main force of the Wei army.

The stakes are still high.

Zhuge Liang didn't dare to have a trace of relaxation: "Jiang Qin, don't move, the Eleventh Army will be stationed in Longxian, Sima Yi will not be captured, they will definitely find a way to break through, you be careful and vigilant, don't let them catch you off guard!" ”

"No!"

Jiang Qin gave up his order, and he thought for a while: "What if they choose to go north!" ”

"Then let them converge, one pot!" Zhuge Liang said domineeringly. (To be continued.) )
