Chapter 38: Ma Tan Shou Street Pavilion (4) (4th Watch)
At dawn the next day, Zhang He first led the army to block Wang Ping.
Sima Yi drove the army and horses, and surrounded Nanshan. Luo Fei and Su Ruoying led the crowd to the front of the village to watch, only to see the Wei soldiers all over the mountains and fields, and the banner team was very neat.
When the Shu soldiers saw this, they were all afraid.
Luo Fei laughed: "It's okay! "The people will close the gates of the village, but just hold on.
However, it was said that Wang Ping saw the Wei soldiers besieging the mountain and led the army to fight, and he was meeting Zhang He. Wang Ping had few soldiers and could not win the battle, so he had to retreat.
The Wei soldiers were trapped until evening, but fortunately Luo Fei had ordered the sergeants to store water in advance in the wooden "cistern", which was used for nearly half of the day, but also insisted until dark, and most of the Wei troops returned to the camp.
However, Sima Yi still left heavy troops to surround Nanshan, and ordered the 120,000 army to be divided into three divisions, each surrounded for two hours, and rested alternately.
The military order was handed down that if "Ma Tan" led the army to break through, the resting soldiers in the village would go out of the camp and join forces again, and drive "Ma Tan" back to the mountain.
Seeing this, Luo Fei also divided the 20,000 troops into four divisions, led by four partial generals, each of whom guarded for two hours and rested alternately to nourish the army.
。。。。。。
At dawn the next day, the congregation went to Luo Fei's tent to discuss matters. They were worried that nearly half of the water storage had been used, and the Wei army was guarding the water source under the mountain, and the army was uneasy for a long time.
However, Luo Fei didn't care, and told him that it would rain heavily soon, and he only ordered people to build more "reservoirs", wooden barrels and other things to store water.
At this time in Sima Yizhai, Sima Zhao asked his father: "This horse has been cut off from the water source by our army, but he did not go down the mountain to take it, but just defended himself, even if he had some reserves before, but after all, 20,000 horses, how to last?" ”
Sima Yi said with a smile: "He was born in the land of Jingxiang, and lived in the southwest for a long time after entering Shu, and the weather has abundant rainfall all year round. In addition, the mountains are generally rocky, and although the trees are luxuriant, it is difficult to dig wells for water. Since he is willing to wait for the rain, we are not in a hurry, wait for the wind to rise and set fires, and see if he can get out! ”
。。。。。。
Another day passed, and Luo Fei had been on guard for three days.
Then to the morning meeting, the generals were already anxious, the water storage has been low after the use of the two, at most it is only enough to make breakfast, the Shu soldiers have been unstable, if it wasn't for Luo Fei who said that it would rain before, I am afraid that he would have arrived in front of the tent to ask for his life.
Su Ruoying, who had a bottom in her heart, saw that the matter had come to this, and said to Luo Fei first: "It's time to ask for rain when you join the army, if you don't ask for it, I'm afraid the sergeant will mutiny!" ”
"Okay!" Luo Fei stood up and said to the generals: "It is the turn of the defending general to lead the troops to defend the Wei army, and the rest of the people please follow me to set up an altar in front of the tent, I was going to burn incense and ask for rain!" ”
Su Ruoying was also a little puzzled by this, she secretly asked Luo Fei on the channel of her teammates: "It's not a skill of yours to ask for rain?" Why pretend, don't you bother? ”
Luo Fei commanded the sergeant to put on the incense case, stepped forward and secretly replied to Su Ruoying with his back to everyone: "The ancients were more likely to be instigated by the so-called heavenly time, although the battle of Chibi was good, but the key was the southeast wind that came if you wanted it. I beg for rain not only for water, but also for great morale, so coupled with the geographical advantage, forgive Sima Yi for a long time to no avail, so that we have a chance to defeat the Wei army. ”
Su Ruoying also thought so when she saw it, and ordered someone to move a chair and make a pot of tea, and opened the umbrella cover above her head in advance, looking like she was waiting to watch the show.
The other three generals saw Su Ruoying like this, and they didn't know why she believed in "Ma Yan" so much. But seeing that the sky was clear at this time, it was hard to believe that the Lord would be able to ask for rain immediately.
I saw Luo Fei lighting three pillars of incense, worshipping the incense burner on the incense table three times, chanting words in his mouth, and inserting all the incense into the incense burner.
Suddenly straightened up, snapped his fingers exaggeratedly, and shouted: "The third-level wind is coming!" ”
Inexplicably, there was a sudden wind, and the flags around fluttered with the wind.
Luo Fei saw that it was not big enough, so he drank again: "Change to a fourth-level wind!" ”
The flag was blown so loudly that the generals were stunned.
Suddenly, the sentry made an urgent report: "When the Wei army saw the wind rising, they set up too much fire along the mountain!" At this time, the fire is spreading to the mountain by the wind! ”
It turned out that Luo Feigang only said the level of the wind, not the direction of the wind, and the system defaulted to the north wind this season, just to blow the fire to the south mountain.
"Haha, hahahaha." Su Ruoying saw that Luo Fei was begging for rain and helped Wei Jun set fire, knowing that she must be fine, she couldn't help laughing.
Luo Fei felt very embarrassed, and when he saw that the generals had already shown a look of horror when he heard this, he hurriedly drank again: "The clouds are thick!" ”
I saw that the sky, which was originally in a situation, suddenly became gloomy, and the clouds were getting lower and lower.
Luo Fei raised his arms: "Lightning and thunder!" ”
Suddenly a bolt of lightning swept across the sky, followed by thunder.
At this time, even the sergeants of the two armies saw what was going to happen. The troops of the Wei army surrounding the mountain did not have a military order to retreat, and could only be blown trembling in the wind.
Luo Fei, who had played enough, finally dropped his arms and shouted: "It's pouring rain!" ”
Heavy drops of rain fell immediately, and they fell faster and faster.
Luo Fei walked towards the big tent without looking back, and ordered in his mouth: "Order all battalions to do a good job of storing water, and store water wherever it can be stored!" ”
。。。。。。
However, it was said that Kong Ming hesitated after ordering "Ma Tan" to wait for the street guarding pavilion. Suddenly, Wang Ping sent someone to send a plan for the camp. Kong Ming called in, took it apart and took a look, and was shocked: "Ma Jian is ignorant, and the whole army is trapped!" ”
Changshi Yang Yi asked, "Why is the prime minister like this?" ”
Kong Ming asked Yang Yi to come forward and take a look: "This method of camping is to lose the road and occupy the mountain as a village." If the Wei army is so large, surrounded on all sides, and the road to get water is cut off, it will not take two days, and the army will be in chaos! ”
Yang Yi begged for his life: "Although I am not talented, I am willing to return often for Ma You." ”
Kong Ming ordered Yang Yi to lead another 5,000 troops to replace "Ma Tan", while postponing the march to Yicheng, in case the street pavilion was not guarded, he could quickly retreat.
。。。。。。
When the book returned to the street pavilion, the inexplicable downpour forced the Wei army to retreat back to the camp to avoid the rain.
Wang Ping sent a letter to suggest that Luo Fei take the opportunity to break through and go to Wang Ping's camp to join forces.
Luo Fei handed over Wang Ping's letter to Su Ruoying and said: "He has a good heart, but our army suddenly encountered heavy rain, and the morale was flourishing, and it was this place that was stuck, so that Sima Yi could not advance or retreat. ”
"It's just that after all, the Wei army is powerful, and Wang Ping only has 5,000 sergeants, so he is not strong enough to cooperate with each other!" Su Ruoying nodded in agreement, and then expressed her worries.
"It doesn't matter." Luo Fei took out a military order and said to Su Ruoying: "It seems that this mountain now has 15,000 troops enough!" You take 5,000 troops down the mountain and join Wang Ping in one place, as for when to break the enemy, you and I can contact you in the channel.
Su Ruoying nodded, then led the army down the mountain and took advantage of the heavy rain to join Wang Ping.
Wang Ping was shocked when he learned that this rain was sought by "Ma Tan" on the mountain, but he was still a little worried: "According to General Guan, after this rain, the water storage can last for ten days, but after ten days, can it still rain?" ”
"General Wang, rest assured!" Su Ruoying, who rushed to Wang Ping's tent in the rain, drank hot tea while roasting the fire and said: "He dares to continue to stay, he must have the confidence to stay fine!" ”
