Chapter 14 Strange Allies
Swords and guns have no eyes, and the battlefield is ruthless. The battle situation will not be changed just because Zhang Yun's rhetoric is more sensational.

Wei Jun could only shrink back in the distance, silently licking the wounds of failure, accumulating momentum, waiting for a comeback.

Jieting, the camp of the Shu army.

The messenger respectfully relayed Zhuge Liang's military order to everyone: "General Ma, the Prime Minister ordered you to lead three troops, Wei Yan, Gao Xiang, and Wang Ping, to hold on to the street pavilion for half a month, and then slowly return to Hanzhong."

Since winning the battle to defend Jieting, Ma Su has clearly felt that his prestige in the army has improved significantly.

This can be felt from the attitude of the messenger.

It seems that my younger brother in the Shu Han army has been promoted a lot. Ma Di didn't care about comfort, looked at the messenger, and asked in a deep voice: "Our army has won two battles today, and the situation is very good. Why did the Prime Minister withdraw the army?"

Why?

He couldn't figure it out.

This situation has never occurred in the previous two deduction of the simulator.

And the next deduction is still half a month away.

Therefore, when he heard this military order, Ma Di was completely dumbfounded.

Although in the previous deduction, he believed that under the comprehensive oppression of the Wei army, the Shu army could not successfully capture the remaining two counties of Longxi, and would even lose to Hanzhong...

But it was far beyond his expectation to hand over the three counties of Longxi that he had acquired so happily.

To act like this...wouldn't it run counter to the original intention of the Northern Expedition!

That's right, stealing chickens won't work, and the move to quickly withdraw to the old nest is indeed very steady, and the Wei army is indeed very strong. It has deployed 20 troops on the western front alone, and Wei Zhu Cao Rui personally sits in Chang'an to lead the overall situation.

The situation is very grim, and it is unwise to be hard-pressed.

But the first Northern Expedition was the best opportunity for the Shu Army.

How can you give up at will?

Not to mention, Sima Yi, the biggest BOSS in the Kingdom of Wei and the most difficult man in the world, is not in the Yongliang area yet.

The Shu Han should seize this god-given opportunity to completely defeat Cao Zhen and Zhang Yun, and defend the three vested counties in Longxi.And use these three counties as bases to gradually erode Wei's territory.

Even if there are casualties because of this, it is not hesitating!

How can there be undead in war?

How can we withdraw our troops for fear of damage?
Withdrawing back to Hanzhong like this is too conservative, too aggrieved!

For a moment, Ma Di was very depressed, and had the idea of ​​disobedience.

But quickly refrained.

The envoy replied truthfully: "The general does not know something. Cao Zhen was ordered by the Lord Wei to attack Hanzhong with [-] troops from Chencang Dao. The prime minister has personally led the army back to rescue, and ordered Li Hui, Wu Yi, and Yang Yi to move to Longxi. You people, there is no army in the Longxi area now, I hope the general will know and make a comprehensive plan early."

WDNMD!Lao Tzu is working hard to guard the street pavilion in front, but there is no one behind him? ...Ma Di waved his hands gloomyly, resisting the urge to scold his mother, cupped his hands and said:
"Ma Di would like to obey the prime minister's military order, and asked the envoy, can this order be passed on to the other generals?"

The messenger's expression flickered: "It's arrived, the two generals Gao Xiang and Wang Ping have already been ordered, but..."

"Just what?" Ma Di suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, feeling a chill down his back.

I won't be backstabbed by friendly forces again, will I?
"It's just, it's just Wei Yan... After hearing the military order, General Wei was furious on the spot and said, 'How can there be no one guarding the Chencang Wei River? If the Wei army comes from here, our army is in danger', so he led his own troops to guard Shangyu. the city."

This, what kind of fairy teammates are these?
Ma Di was a little skeptical about his life.

First, he was calculated by the narrow-minded Yang Yi, and a group of recruits came to guard the street pavilion. Thanks to his own two brushes, otherwise the cliff is cold at this time; now he is abandoned by the arrogant Wei Yan.

abandoned...

Ma De, I, the former commander-in-chief, is too difficult... Ma Di's face was livid, he glanced at Huang Xi, Li Sheng, and Zhang Xiu, and seeing that he was surrounded by his own people, he finally cursed:

"Wei Yanpifu! How dare you disobey the prime minister's military order, I will never end with you!"

The herald gave Ma Su a suspicious look, took out a handwritten letter from his pocket, and handed it over.

Ma Di raised his hand to take it, and after watching it with a blank expression, his face softened a little.

The letter said: Zhuge Liang had expected Wei Yan to go to defend Shangyu City, and told him not to panic.

Before Zhuge Liang appointed Wei Yanduan, the latter had complained a lot. If he was directly transferred to guard Shangyu City this time, he would be unwilling to go, so this military order was issued.Zhuge Liang knew that Wei Yan would not be reconciled to being under others and accept his Ma Di's rule, so he specially ordered him to go to Shangyu to defend.

This is a very simple "please general rather than aggressive".

After reading the letter, Ma Su was speechless.

Since Wei Yan's actions were all expected by the Prime Minister, it's fine.

However, just passing an ordinary military order requires such a big detour, which shows the extent to which factions in the Shu army are divided.

Thinking of this, Ma Su suddenly became more pessimistic about the already bleak prospect of the Northern Expedition.

Kuangfu the Han Dynasty and Kefuzhong were not mentioned before.

Wei Yan really can't deal with this person.

Yang Yi can't do it either!

This kind of person who likes to stick knives in the friendly army, even if he has the ability, what's the use of coming!
Ma De, when I am in power, I will kill them all, leaving no one behind!
Ma Su felt ruthless in his heart, and politely sent the messenger away, frowning and meditating.

After Wei Yan withdrew his troops and horses, Jieting was no longer defendable.There are two reasons for this:

One is that there are loopholes in the tight-fitting interception formation, and the other is that the balance of forces between the two sides has changed.

Jieting is located at the intersection of Wucha Road. There are two roads coming from the east and three roads going west. All five roads converge in the Jieting River Valley.

Previously, Gao Xiang, Wang Ping, and Wei Yan guarded one of the three roads going west, and then Ma Su guarded the Jieting, serving as the front of the three rear armies, blocking all the westward roads of the Wei army.

That is to say, if Zhang Yun dared to lead the Wei army to bypass Jieting to attack any route, he would face the situation of being attacked from the front and back, or even from all sides.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang urged him in every possible way to set up camp and take charge of the overall situation.

But Ma Su knew that camping in this way would face a bloody battle, and the Shu army, full of recruits, could not stop the attack of the Wei army's elite cavalry.

And camping on the mountain can also achieve the purpose of guarding the main road, and can also preserve one's own forces to the greatest extent.

Therefore, he made the same choice as the original owner—moving troops up the mountain.

Sure enough, Zhang Yun, a veteran of all battles, did not go around Jieting to seize the road after he arrived at Jieting.

But after Wei Yan withdrew, one of the roads was left unguarded.

And this involves the second question-Zhang Yun's current strength.

After the 2 follow-up soldiers and horses rushed to Jieting, Zhang Xi's men were no longer more than 7 people, but more than [-] people.

The strength of the two sides was short and pulled apart.

The three soldiers and horses of the Shu army add up to only 7 infantry, while the Wei army has more than [-] cavalry.

Under such a comparison of troops, Zhang Yun is more than capable. He can divide his troops into two groups, order [-] to [-] troops to contain each other with the Shu army at Jieting, and send another [-] to [-] troops to pass through the Longgu Road that Wei Yan gave up. Rushing to the aid of Longxi.

Therefore, it is meaningless to guard the street pavilion in power.

As a matter of urgency, the troops should immediately withdraw to the Longgu Road that Wei Yan gave up.

But in this way, you will face another fatal dilemma.

The soldiers are divided into three places, each with only more than [-] troops, and it is easy for the Wei army to concentrate their superior forces and defeat them one by one.

It's terrible, this Han army is too difficult to lead Ma Su silently for a moment, feeling helpless for a while: "Give me the general's order, quickly move the troops to the Longbi crossing."

"General, with this arrangement, the situation is too passive." Huang Xi, Li Sheng, and Zhang Xiu spoke together to dissuade them.

Zhang Xiu then added: "In case... in case Wei Jun chooses to attack along the way... we may not be able to withstand..."

Ma Di stared at him suddenly, with the aura of a general bursting out from his body, he said sternly: "How dare you disobey orders?!"

"I can't stand it, I have to stand it!"

The three of them woke up and looked at each other, bowed deeply to Ma Su together, and were ordered to mobilize the troops.

 Thanks for the "Shadow Assassin" monthly pass!
