Chapter 8 The total annihilation of the Wei army
"Zhuge Liang......" Zhang He's voice was suffocated, and he suddenly smiled with relief.
"It turns out that it wasn't Ma Jian who calculated me, it was Zhuge Liang who personally ended up......"
That's no problem, there's no shame in losing to Zhuge Liang.
"General, we should ......"
"Attack!" Zhang He said categorically,
"We have no way out, only the attacker has a chance to live!"
At the beginning of the Battle of Chibi, he followed Cao Cao through Huarong Road, and that time Cao Wei's famous general refreshed his understanding of Zhuge Liang's cunning.
Therefore, Zhang He knows that there is only a death battle now, and once he retreats, there is no possibility of survival.
"Soldiers! Charge with me! Kill all the Shu dogs and capture the Zhuge villagers alive! ”
Zhang He personally drew his sword and shouted, some generals boosted their morale, and the Wei soldiers cheered up and prepared to fight.
Seeing the Wei army rushing to kill, the military flag of the Shu army fluttered, and the military formation was quietly changing.
Before the Wei army approached, countless arrows were shot out of the Shu army's array. A rain of flying locust-like arrows quickly landed in the Wei army's formation, and hundreds of soldiers fell to the ground, and the Wei soldiers behind stepped on their corpses and continued to advance.
The Wei army was dominated by cavalry, and there were 2,000 cavalry among the 50,000 soldiers and horses. After four rounds of arrow rain, the Wei army was already close to the front of the Shu army. At this time, I saw that as soon as the Chinese army's order flag turned, the Shu army completed the change of formation in just a few breaths, and the shield hand and pikemen appeared in front of the formation in the blink of an eye.
The knights of the Wei army, who didn't have time to disperse, were instantly pierced by the spear, and fell to the ground in unison.
At the same time, the design of the entire military formation of the Shu army is also very peculiar, looking like a dam from the sky. The Wei army rushed like a monstrous wave, and was quickly cut in front of the Shu army's array, and was efficiently killed by the Shu army while the momentum was sharply reduced.
If Ma Tan saw this scene, he would definitely be dumbfounded. This is the real way to open the Shu army, they are forbidden soldiers, not a rabble.
Zhang He's troops were like moths to a fire in front of Zhuge Liang's array, extremely desperate but very easily harvested. Zhang He personally led his troops to rush and kill several times, not only did he not make any achievements, but his horses were almost stabbed to death.
After taking turns to kill several times, Zhang He found that the southeast corner of the Shu army was the weakest defense. He didn't have time to think about it, he led his troops to turn around and rush away from the southeast corner.
Unexpectedly, this time Zhang He easily dispersed the defenses of the Shu army. However, after breaking through the defense, it was not the foot soldiers of the Shu army who greeted Zhang He, but a broad military formation.
And before Zhang He could react, as soon as the Shu army order flag changed, Zhang He's retreat was blocked in an instant.
"!"
Zhang He is quite knowledgeable, how can he not know that he was introduced into the military formation at this time!
Zhuge Liang improved the eight formations, a total of sixty-four variations, each of which has a special use.
For example, what Zhang He is entering now is a long snake rolling into the ground formation, and if he can't touch the snake head, he can't hit it out in his life.
Zhang He obviously didn't know much about formation, so he could only collide with headless flies in all directions.
Two hours after declaring war, when the sky was about to darken, Zhang He was finally cornered and captured alive by the Shu army.
As for the Wei army outside the formation, after losing the main general, the morale completely collapsed, and the whole army collapsed!
The Shu army then covered up all the way, beheaded countless people, and achieved an extremely brilliant victory!

At this time, the Jieting Shu army had just received Wang Ping up the mountain, counted the casualties and prepared for a counterattack.
"Zijun, it's hard for you this time, that Zhang He is attacking the city so fiercely." Ma Tan couldn't help but scratch his head when he saw that Wang Ping was covered in blood after the battle, and his exhaustion was overflowing.
In the final analysis, it was because he was unreliable and didn't want to be reliable, which led to Wang Pingcheng being like this. If it weren't for Wang Ping's fate, it would be Wang Ping's grave.
I'm such a bastard, I'll have to put two sticks of incense on Wang Ping to apologize when I get back.
"The general doesn't have to blame himself, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, not to mention that the general is leading the troops for the first time, and it is normal to make mistakes." Wang Ping didn't have so much resentment here, he could at least see that this General Ma was really not a straw bag.
Being able to force Zhang He to commit a taboo in the army and bypass the street pavilion to sneak attack Longxi has already explained the problem, and it can be said that Ma Jian has convinced Wang Ping.
"The general doesn't have to worry, this time the responsibility is not all on the general, but also on me, Wang Ping. When the prime minister is held accountable, he will explain it clearly for you. ”
Ma Yan: "???"
You have thick eyebrows and big eyes, I just tricked you, you are so vicious, you want me to not be able to go home?
"It doesn't have to be like this, if something goes wrong, I will take all the responsibility. Even if the prime minister wants to deal with me by military law, I will not have any complaints. Ma Tan immediately spoke, and his attitude was extremely resolute.
"I'm just a literati commander, and being beheaded doesn't have any effect. Zijun, you are a rare veteran of the entire Han Dynasty, and you must not be implicated because of this. ”
"For the sake of the future of Dahan, you can't get involved, you and Yao Hu are innocent!"
The responsibility must be all mine, whoever robs me and who is in a hurry!
"This ......" Wang Ping was silent, his image of Ma Jian has changed a lot these days, but it was only at this time that he discovered that this General Ma was really temperamental.
If something goes wrong, we will never shirk the responsibility, and we will take the initiative to take responsibility, which is not beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Ma is often young, and the gentleman is also!
Just as Ma Jian and Wang Ping were talking, suddenly Ma Tan's personal soldiers rushed into the military tent and shouted excitedly.
"General, everything is as you expected, Zhang He's troops were broken by the soldiers and horses led by the prime minister in Luoyang, and the Wei army has been defeated!"
"Captain Yao and Captain Qian have led their troops to besiege the enemy in Jieting, and we have won!"
Ma Tan: "Huh? ”
Wang Ping: "??? ”

The news of Zhang He's defeat and capture soon spread throughout the five counties of Longxi, causing Longxi to shake.
The Shu army had less than 70,000 regular soldiers, and the rest were auxiliaries. Even so, there are still most of the troops still attacking the city in Longxi.
However, the Shu army only dispatched more than 20,000 troops to defeat the 50,000 Wei troops sent by Cao Wei to rescue, and even the commander was arrested.
Even if it's 50,000 heads...... Right, you know what I'm going to say.
The news revealed in this is enough to make anyone in Longxi who is still resisting completely lose the will to fight.
After all, the reinforcements sent by the imperial court were all seconded, so what was the use of them resisting?
When Zhuge Liang led his troops back to Shangqi, Guo Huai had already abandoned the city and fled. And the defenders of Qishan Fort also killed themselves at the head of the city in despair, and the Shu army took the gateway of Longdao without much effort.
Several problems that originally gave Zhuge Liang a headache were all solved in the blink of an eye. The return of Longxi to Han is basically a sure thing.
However, Ma Yan, the hero of all this, was imprisoned at this time and no one was allowed to visit the prison. Zhuge Liang personally sent out a message, and when he returned to Xixian County, he was dealing with Ma Yan's problem.
