Chapter 5 The man is here
Jieting Nanshan is about 80 meters high. It is a lonely mountain, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is not connected in all directions.

The east, south, and west sides are all steep slopes, making it difficult for vehicles and horses to travel. Only the side facing the Jieting River Valley has a slightly slower slope.

With such a terrain, not to mention stationing ten thousand soldiers on the top of the mountain, even if there are only a thousand soldiers stationed, it is enough to stop the siege of a hundred thousand troops.

As long as there is enough water and food, these thousand people can even be consumed indefinitely.

Of course, if only more than a thousand people are arranged on the top of the mountain, the combat power is too weak, and the ability to contain the Wei army will be lost.

At that time, Zhang Yun only needs to send 5000 people at will to trap the Shu army on the mountain, immobilized.

Therefore, keeping 1 people on the top of the mountain is the most reasonable approach at present. It not only retains a certain deterrent force, but also relatively saves food, grass and water.

Ma Di stopped on the mountainside and had a panoramic view of the open and secret struggles of the three generals below.

Even with the two major weapons of time traveler and simulator, he still feels overwhelmed.

These subordinates are not easy to bring along.

Wang Ping was illiterate, illiterate, and stubborn like a donkey. He would not listen to anyone who was not convinced.

In the entire Shu Han camp, there is only one person who is convinced by Wang Ping, Prime Minister Zhuge.

In other words, as long as Wang Ping leaves Prime Minister Zhuge, no matter who he is under, he will not be a fuel-efficient lamp.

This is not finished.

Among the other three, Huang Xi was lazy and Li Sheng was cunning, both of them had second-rate military strength, and they were all extremely greedy for life and afraid of death.

Zhang Xiu was slightly better than the two of them, and he was loyal to him, but his force value was average, and he was the weakest of the four.

Such a ministry will...

If there is a crisis, there is no other way but to rely on yourself.

Ma Di has a very clear understanding of this point.

An hour later, ten thousand wooden barrels were finished.

Brand new wooden barrels filled the river beach.

Looking at it, it is blue and white, which is truly spectacular.

Huang Xi, Li Sheng, and Zhang Xiu all looked at Ma Su together.

Nanshan is not high. From the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, the slope is about 500 meters long. It takes at least 20 barrels of water to fill the Tianchi Lake on the top of the mountain.

In the era of hand-carrying on shoulders, normally speaking, 20 people need to make 1 round trips to transport [-] barrels of water up the mountain.

Ma Di waved his hand, signaling to the three of them to be calm,
First, he divided ten thousand soldiers into twenty groups of 500 men each.

Afterwards, ten groups of people were ordered to form ten long snake formations, lined up from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, with an interval of one person per meter.

In the end, each soldier stayed in place and delivered buckets of water up the mountain in a hand-to-hand relay.

As for the other ten groups of people, they will be used as a rotation to ensure that the formation will continue to operate.

Previously, Ma Su had already calculated that if this set of formations operated smoothly, ten barrels of water would reach the top of the mountain every five seconds.

If it is fast, it will be ten barrels in three seconds.

It only takes fourteen hours at most to transport 20 barrels of water to the top of the mountain; at least ten hours.

This water is enough to feed 1 horses for two months.

Thinking of the dumbfounded state of Zhang Yun's army behind the siege, Ma Su couldn't help grinning.

In a short while, following Zhang Xiu's order, ten water-drawing army formations were activated at the same time.

The soldiers chanted, and quickly transferred the wooden barrels filled with water one by one, and the cycle went on and on.

Ma Di looked at the red sun that was gradually slanting westward in the sky, squinted his eyes, and silently deduced various situations that he might face next.

Water alone is not enough.

If you want to take the initiative in the battle of Jieting, you need to communicate with Zhuge Liang in advance, state the advantages and disadvantages, and encourage the prime minister not to attack the other two counties in Longxi after taking down Shangyu City, but to lead the army to a decisive battle with the main force of the Wei army .

Otherwise, even if the five counties are captured, they will be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of Wei troops. After a period of stalemate, they will be defeated one by one.

Wei Guo owns the land of Kyushu, and the potential for war is unimaginably high, and the number of troops that can be mobilized should be in the millions.

And the [-] Wei troops who are about to arrive at Jieting are just the vanguard of Wei State.

Once Cao Zhen finds out that Zhao Yun's troops wandering around in the Shagu Valley are just a suspicious army with only a few thousand people, he will lead a large army to help Longxi, or directly send troops to attack the empty Hanzhong.

At that time, the Shu army will fall into a dangerous situation of being difficult to care about.

Therefore, attacking Wei Jun head-on at Jieting is the key to solving the problem.

As long as Zhang He's troops are disabled, the counties of Longxi will decide for themselves without fighting.

Sneak attacks can only take advantage for a while, and the two sides of Shu and Wei will eventually need to fight with swords and guns on the battlefield to decide the outcome.

Thinking of this, Ma Di asked people to fetch a pen, ink and plain silk, and wrote a letter in hand, and sent someone to send it to Zhuge Liang overnight.

At the same time, Wang Ping had also led his troops to the village at the west mountain pass ten miles away. He waited to guard the main road, and quickly drew a map of the street pavilion, and sent someone to report to Zhuge Liang in the starry night.

……

It was night, and the torches in the street pavilions were brightly lit.

Huang Xi, Li Sheng, and Zhang Xiu took turns to supervise the work, urging the soldiers to work overnight and fetch water up the mountain.

Everyone is racing against time.

A busy night.

By noon the next day, the Tianchi Lake on the top of the mountain was already full of water.

After arranging for the soldiers to rest on the spot, Ma Di heaved a long sigh of relief, and finally put his heart that had been hanging in his stomach back into his stomach.

As a visitor from later generations, he came to this world rashly and was pushed onto the battlefield to face off with the elite cavalry of Wei State, who is famous all over the world. It would be a lie to say that he is not afraid.

But he concealed his timidity very well, and always had a confident look on his face.

This also greatly encouraged the soldiers under his command, and their morale gradually increased.

But in fact, Ma Di was panicked to death.

Fearing that the simulation would make a mistake, Zhang He descended from heaven on the second day and defeated the Shu army in a devastating manner.

This possibility is still very high.

Because it is already the second day of arriving at the street pavilion, and the second simulator deduction was at noon yesterday.

Nothing will remain static, but will change with the passage of time and changes in external factors.

In case one of Zhang He's tendons was screwed up, he decided to divide his troops again, and choose the cavalry with the strongest and fastest horses, and advance lightly and gallop overnight.Then before dusk today, it is possible for the front of Wei Jun to reach Jieting.

……

While I was meditating, I suddenly saw groups of people in the mountains rushing towards them, reporting that the soldiers of Wei had arrived eighty miles away.

Ma Di was slightly startled by how quickly he came, and secretly thanked himself for having the foresight to make all the preparations.

At dusk, a rumbling sound suddenly came from Longshan Avenue in the east. The dust and smoke filled the sky vaguely, like a tornado covering the ground, and the sky-shattering shouts came from far and near.

Soon, a torrent of iron cavalry rushed in, and after entering the open river valley, it stopped.

The first person, dressed in iron armor and silver helmet, held a zhangba long knife, sitting on a white horse, majestic, looking up at the top of the mountain, and met Ma Di's eyes from the air.

He is Zhang He.

Those eyes, which have experienced countless life and death fights on the battlefield, and are used to seeing countless human lives and blood, are cold and ruthless, and despise the world.

Facing such heart-piercing eyes, Ma Di's heart skipped a beat, and four words appeared in his head involuntarily.

The person is not good!
Looking down the mountain, behind Zhang Yun, about [-] cavalry came in droves, gradually gathering in one place.

The army is awe-inspiring and murderous.

Powerhouse!
