Chapter 256: The Wei Army Retreats

"Defeated?"

Sima Shi looked at the soldiers who came to report and squinted his eyes. However, he was not surprised by this, on the contrary, he even felt that it was already very good that Sima Zhao could hold out for so long.

His younger brother Sima Zhao had never fought before, so he didn't know how to march into the army. And what he is facing is the Shu Han ace Ma Yan, who is really remarkable to be able to persist until now.

"It's a pity, Zhuge Liang seems to have already seen through our plan." Sima Shi shook his head and said softly.

"Little general, now that Zhiyang has been conquered by the Shu army, we are afraid that we will have to withdraw Wuwei as soon as possible." Fei Yao was a little panicked, and now that the situation was going to be, they were afraid that they were about to be surrounded.

The grain in Jincheng is quite abundant, but it can't last long. If the Shu army cuts off their retreat, I'm afraid it will be over.

It is better to break through as soon as possible while the Shu army has not yet closed the siege.

However, in the face of Fei Yao's proposal, Sima Shi shook his head and said lightly.

"General Fei, it's me who withdraws Wuwei, and you need to lead the troops to Xiping County."

"What?" Fei Yao's face changed suddenly, and his brows furrowed suddenly.

"Once Jincheng County falls, Xiping County will be an isolated place. Didn't General Sima want to kill Fei? ”

"The general misunderstood, this is not to send the general to death." Sima Shi shook his head, still calm as water, he lightly took out a letter and handed it to Fei Yao.

"My father has rebelled against the Wolf Qiang and the Burning Qiang Department in the south of Xiping County. These two Qiang people have promised to send troops and are willing to fight the Shu army together with our Great Wei. ”

"General Fei has a good reputation in the army, and he can be of great use in a good war. My father hoped that the general would lead 5,000 troops to the Qiang Department and attack the Shu army from the side. ”

"General Fei, rest assured, this trip is by no means for you to die!"

Sima Shi's calm reply made Fei Yao speechless, and he held back for a long time before he snorted coldly, snatched the letter from Sima Shi's hand and looked at it twice.

"It's better to be like this." After reading the letter given by Sima Yi, Fei Yao was silent and said.

The Qiang people of Burning Dang and the Qiang people of Shenwolf sent a total of nearly 20,000 Qiang soldiers, and the army has entered Xiping County. However, foreign soldiers and horses could not be commanded without their own generals, so Sima Yi asked Fei Yao to lead the Qiang soldiers.

Fei Yao was very dissatisfied with this appointment. However, looking at Sima Shi's eyes and Sima Yi's handling of disobedient subordinates, Fei Yao could only swallow his anger next.

But he was even more resentful of Sima Yi's father and son.

After seeing Fei Yao leave, Sima Shi's eyes narrowed suddenly, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Zhuge Liang led the army to besiege Jincheng for more than half a month, but it was not breached. In the end, after Ma Jian cut off the Wei army's return route, Sima Shi and Fei Yao led the army to abandon the city and flee.

After Fei Yao led 5,000 troops to escape from Jincheng, he went straight to Xiping County. Sima Shi led the remaining 4,000 soldiers and horses to the north, preparing to withdraw Wuwei and join forces with Sima Yi.

However, it was not easy for Sima Shi to evacuate, because he had Ma Tan's 3,000 cavalry to intercept him.

When he learned that the famous Sima Shi led 4,000 troops to withdraw, Ma Jian suddenly became energetic.

"Sima Shi, the one-eyed god of war, I should capture him alive!" In just a few breaths, Ma Jian made up his mind.

Sima Shi is the key person in the Sima family who can successfully exchange the house book for the Cao family. His value is not just Sima Yi's son, he is a talent himself.

What are you waiting for, even if he is not captured, he can't continue to lead the troops, otherwise it will definitely be a disaster for the Han.

After making up his mind, Ma Jian immediately led 3,000 cavalry all the way south to meet him.

Sima Shi led 4,000 troops, including more than 2,000 cavalry, all of which were big fish. After Sima Zhao presented Ma Jian with two thousand cavalry prisoners, Ma Jian also fell in love with Sima Shi's troops.

Ma Tan led 3,000 cavalry to rush along the road, and encountered Sima Shi's troops more than ten miles south of Zhiyang. From afar, Ma Tan saw Sima Shi's handsome banner looming in the Wei army.

"Sima Shi! Take your life! Ma Tan spotted the banner of Sima Shi, and rushed forward with the cavalry and a pig.

However, the sudden appearance of the Shu army did not confuse the Wei army, and thousands of Cao Wei infantry cavalry quickly reorganized their armies for battle. Before Ma Tan rushed to the front, Sima Shi had already completed the reorganization of the military formation.

From this point, it can be seen that there is a gap between Sima Shi and Sima Zhao.

If this is replaced by Sima Zhao, it is estimated that Ma Jian has not yet arrived, and the Wei army will already be in chaos.

But...... That's what it means.

Wei Shu took over, and Ma Jian rushed in against the spear and shield of the Wei army. The Wei soldiers who were in front of Ma Jian were directly knocked over, and the Wei army's formation was torn apart in an instant.

The seemingly impregnable military formation is like paper paste in front of Ma Tan. The Shu army quickly broke through the defense line and rushed straight to the banner of Sima Division.

"Kill!!"

The Wei army in front was neatly cut apart like a wave, and Ma Tan rushed to the Wei army commander first. And there, a young general was already waiting for him, dressed up.

"Death to the old horseman!" When Sima Shi saw that Ma Jian was killed, he also raised his gun and rushed back.

Sima Shi is only in his twenties this year, and Ma Jian is forty years old, so he is indeed qualified to call Ma Jian an old horseman.

It's just that Ma Jian has always been energetic, and he doesn't look like a forty-year-old veteran no matter how he looks at it.

Ma Tan and Sima Shi staggered by, accompanied by a sonorous sound of metal colliding, and their hands were numb at the same time.

"Sima Yi's stupid son is not bad!" Ma Tan was a little surprised, Sima Shi's strength was even above him.

Hey? Why should I be surprised, isn't that how it should be?

"You're not bad, old man!" Sima Shi rolled his eyes and looked at Ma Jian with an unwavering expression, as if he wanted to see through this famous general in Shu.

But he was obviously going to be disappointed, because Ma Jian didn't give him a chance at all, and shot him again.

Sima Shi is not a parallel import, and his martial arts are not comparable to the two hundred and five that Ma Tan encountered before. Ma Tan led the cavalry of his headquarters to entangle with Sima Shi, and fought for half an hour without deciding the outcome of the battle.

However, the Wei army obviously could not support such a high-intensity battle as Sima Shi, and morale began to decline rapidly. On the contrary, it was the cavalry under Ma Yan's command, the more they fought, the more brave they became, and the more they killed, the more excited they became.

Just as Ma Tan and Sima Shi were about to engage in the fiftieth round of battle, Sima Shi suddenly dodged Ma Tan's spear with a false shot, and fled on horseback. The whole set of actions was like flowing water, so that Ma Jian didn't even react.

"The old man will let the horse go today, and you won't have such good luck next time." Sima Shi scolded Ma Jian while turning around and running away with his guards.

"What's the situation? Sima Shi, did he abandon all the parts? Seeing this scene, Ma Jian felt a little surprised, but soon he suddenly thought of something, glanced back at the scale of the Wei army, and his face changed instantly.

"! Shaded! ”
