Chapter Thirty-Six: Kill Everything
13Not long after the city was broken, Zhuge Liang received the news.
"Haha, good, good, Youchang really didn't disappoint me, and he really won the city at a very small price."
"Of course, General Ma is extremely intelligent, and the success of this plan is inevitable. Our Dashu Han is now full of talents, and it is not difficult to restore the Han family and drive out Cao Weiding! Jiang Wei also nodded.
"Well, yes, although I have unparalleled wisdom, but I am only limited to governing the country and settling down the family, but I lack talent for leading the army, and now I have a young man, I am relieved!" Zhuge Liang was relieved.
Guangwei City!
As soon as the Wei soldiers retreated, the city was naturally immediately occupied by the Shu army!
"Wild goose, fight forward!"
"In! Checkmate! Hearing Mo Fan's shout, the two immediately ran over!
"You two lead the crossbow battalion and 3,000 cavalry respectively, and follow me to pursue the enemy army!" Mo Fan commanded.
"Yes, General!"
"Zhao Guang, Liang Xu, the remnants of the army here will be handed over to you!"
Although You Chu led most of the people to evacuate, many people were still intercepted in the hurry, and they were surrounded by groups at the moment!
"General, leave the endgame here to us!"
Immediately, Mo Fan rode a war horse and led six thousand soldiers to gallop away.
The Wei army that fled in a hurry can almost be described as a broken army, like a group of people fleeing frantically.
Even, there are constantly people who fall into the ranks and fall directly to the ground and fall into a deep sleep, they are so tired!
The sound of horses' hooves became clearer and clearer, it was Mo Fan who led the troops to catch up, and it was too easy to catch up with their group of remnants whose combat effectiveness had been greatly reduced, not to mention, Mo Fan led all cavalry.
"Divine Crossbow Battalion, shoot me!" Mo Fan ordered directly.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Countless arrows struck at the Wei army.
There are about 6,000 people in the current Wei army, and the high-intensity combat of two days and two nights has made them so tired that they can barely lift their legs, and now it is the instinct of survival that drives their bodies forward!
Therefore, even when they knew that the enemy was coming, they just ran forward, and when the arrow fell, some of them even showed a look of relief, as if it were the happiest thing to sleep forever.
"Whew! Swish! ”
The sound of arrows entering the flesh kept coming, and some soldiers with a strong will to survive were still trying to dodge constantly!
But they fled in a hurry, taking only their weapons with them, and their shields thrown into the city, and now they had nothing to defend against.
The soldiers of the Wei State kept falling! One by one, they lost their vitality forever, and when You Chu saw this scene, he was simply grief-stricken, but he was helpless.
"Divine Ballista Battalion, keep shooting and let them taste our awesomeness!" Hong Yan yelled.
"You are so clumsy and forceful, when Lord Sima Yi and his army arrive, he will definitely kill you without leaving a piece of armor!" You Chu gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.
"War is like this, either you die or I die, and with me here today, you will be destroyed by your army!" Mo Fan didn't mind at all.
"Haha, soldiers, don't run away, turn around to meet the enemy, swear to defend the country to the death, kill one is enough, kill two and earn!" You Chu has seen the situation clearly, they can't escape safely today, since this is the case, it is better to have a vigorous battle.
"Bloody Battlefield!!" At the critical moment of life and death, the soldiers of the Wei State mobilized the last trace of blood, and their morale was actually improved slightly.
After being shot as a live target by the Divine Crossbow Battalion, the Wei army only had 3,000 people left at the moment!
Mo Fan directly led three thousand iron cavalry and rushed into the Wei army to tear it apart. Shot after shot, constantly ending one life after another. Mo Fan, whose body is several times that of ordinary people, is simply a wolf into a flock at this moment, like a killing machine.
Although in the life and death crisis, the soldiers of the Wei army squeezed their bodies and forcibly fought, but in general, they still couldn't resist the high morale of the Shu army, not to mention, there was Mo Fan, a big killer.
Soon, the Wei army was constantly cut and collided by the Shu army, and the number of people continued to decrease, and in the end, only the corpses were left.
In the field, only You Chu was left in the Wei army.
"You Chu, you are a talent, but your luck is not good, but now it has fallen into my hands." Mo Fan condescended on the war horse.
"If you want to persuade me to surrender, then you don't have to, I will be loyal to Wei and would rather die than surrender!" You Chu said proudly.
"Hehe, I didn't think you were still a tough guy!" Mo Fan does have the idea of surrendering, looking at the plot of the Three Kingdoms, why the Northern Expedition of Shu failed, it is not because there are too few capable generals in Shu!
"Death is heavier than Mount Tai, lighter than Hongmao, today I will fight for the country until the last moment, it's worth it!" You Chu said with a firm face, and at the same time, he held the long sword horizontally, put it on his neck, and slashed hard, and a stream of blood rushed out!
Seeing him commit suicide, Mo Fan didn't stop it! For this kind of person, Mo Fan still admires it!
At this point, all the Wei troops in Longyou have been wiped out!
Mo Fan led the army to Longxi City, there was not a single guard inside, it was obvious that what You Chu brought to Guangwei City before was all the garrison forces of Longxi City. Now, Longyou is completely under the control of the Shu army!
Zhuge Liang, who got the news, naturally transferred most of his troops to Longxi City, which was at the forefront of the next battle with the Wei army.
"General Ma, you are really powerful, you can use such a strategy to break the enemy army, I Jiang Wei admires." Jiang Wei, who arrived in Longxi City first, praised Mo Fan after seeing him.
"Hehe, it's just a trick, it's not worth mentioning!"
"As long as you can win on the battlefield, you are the winner, no matter what method you use, Brother Ma, you only lost more than 2,000 people before and after and annihilated more than 10,000 enemy troops, I think I can't do this record!"
"Attacking Longyou is just a small step in the Northern Expedition, and the real big war has not yet come, so it is natural to preserve the strength of our army as much as possible." Of course, Mo Fan knew the difference in strength between Shu and Wei, the Shu army was only 200,000 at most, while the Wei army had an army of 500,000.
"Well, yes, the difference in our Shu Wei forces is indeed a bit big, but with Prime Minister Zhuge and you, I, Jiang Wei, are full of confidence in this Northern Expedition, and I firmly believe that we can return victorious."
The wisdom displayed by Mo Fan has made Jiang Wei extremely admirable.
"By the way, the prime minister is going to give you a celebration banquet tonight, you have to attend on time!"
"Definitely!" Mo Fan responded.
After capturing Guangwei and Longxi City, and breaking the Wei army, Mo Fan's reputation spread more and more in the army, to the point where everyone knew it.
If anyone says they don't know who General Ma Tan is, then he will definitely be laughed at by the people around him!
"What, you don't know who General Ma is?"
"General Ma is a genius in both civil and military affairs, and he is talking about him when he is strategizing and winning thousands of miles away!"
"And why these battles have gone so smoothly is not because of the presence of General Arima."
The barracks were filled with similar discussions!
At night, the City Lord's Mansion!
"This time, you Chang completed the task perfectly, and the enemy army was crushed with a loss of only 2,000 men! Tonight's celebration is to celebrate the achievements of the generals in the past few days! Zhuge Liang sat on the main seat and said.
"General Ma has an earth-shattering talent, and he has won great victories for several days, I admire Zhang Yi!"
"General Ma's talent in military affairs is obvious to all, and among the strategies mentioned in the army, there is no overestimation of winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away!" Deng Zhi also congratulated.
"This Northern Expedition was able to win the first battle, and the generals present also contributed a lot!" Mo Fan said without arrogance or impatience.
"Well, this time to succeed, all the generals have contributed a lot, I have memorized all of your merits, when the Northern Expedition is successful, I will present Your Highness and reward you!" Zhuge Liang picked up his wine glass and laughed.
"This Northern Expedition is sure to be a big victory!" Seeing this, everyone present raised their glasses and congratulated them.
…………
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have won a great victory in this battle and successfully captured the five cities of Longyou, which means that we can retreat and defend, advance and attack, and we can use this as a base to gradually encroach on the Wei army." Zhuge Liang analyzed the current situation.
"Marshal Zhuge don't know what we should do next, should we continue to attack, or hold this place firmly?" Zhao Yun asked.
"I got the news that Emperor Cao Rui of Wei Ming has personally arrived in Chang'an, and he is leading an army of 200,000, accompanied by Sima Yi, Zhang He, Deng Ai and many other generals! Whether it's offensive or defensive, I want to hear your opinions first! Zhuge Liang threw the question to everyone.
"What do you think?" Sure enough, Zhuge Liang asked Mo Fan first.
"The enemy army is strong, fierce, and the enemy army has Emperor Wei Ming's personal expedition, presumably the army's morale must be greatly rising, I think our army should first defend Longyou, here is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and when you find a suitable opportunity to counterattack in one fell swoop, it will definitely achieve miraculous results." Of course, Mo Fan knew how to choose, the number of the Wei army was twice that of the Shu army, and if he didn't want to attack rashly, he could only be sent to death in vain.
"How do you know that the enemy is coming to attack this place, and if the enemy does not attack, how will our army deal with it?" Wei Yan, the old prickly head, picked the thorn again.
"This place is an important place for soldiers, with this place, our army will have the initiative to attack and defend, otherwise, the enemy will be very passive, in the long run, the enemy's strength will definitely drop greatly, the enemy has Sima Yi and others, it is impossible not to know this truth, so it is inevitable that the enemy will attack this place!" Mo Fan directly stated the causal reason.
"Anyway, I don't agree to stick to this place, now that our morale is high, it is a good opportunity to continue the attack, and we must be able to march all the way!" Wei Yan directly said the opposite opinion to Mo Fan.
"I agree with General Ma's strategy, now that the enemy is several times outnumbered by our army, if we confront it head-on, we will definitely suffer heavy losses." Jiang Wei spoke.
"Well, I also agree with General Ma's idea, the previous battle has proven General Ma's talent, and it is precisely because of General Ma's strategy that we can capture Longyou at such a slight cost, and I am the first to support General Ma's opinion!" Zhao Guangke was a big fan of Mo Fan and immediately supported him.
Zhao Yun closed his eyes at the moment, and it was obvious that his son's opinion represented his opinion. Jokes, he can be regarded as half of Mo Fan's master, how could he not support Mo Fan's strategy.
"Judging from the actual situation, it is really not time to take the initiative now, and it is not too late to wait for the right time to make a decision." Liao Hua also spoke.
