Chapter 3 Wei Jun Arrives
"It's a dark and windy night tonight! If we don't light a fire, the soldiers below may not even be able to see the road clearly." Ma Di stood at the door of the military tent, raised his head and looked at the dark sky and muttered.
Darkness in ancient times and darkness in modern times are completely different concepts. On a moonless night, all you can see is pitch black.
Even after he became a nobleman, he had a balanced nutrition and no night blindness, it was difficult to see the road clearly, let alone the soldiers below who only ate staple food.
"These days are really not for modern people. Hurry up and get your insurance and go home." Ma Di shook his head gently, stretched and prepared to go back to the military tent to rest.
But at this moment, Ma Su suddenly saw Captain Yao Hu running up panting.
"General, the scouts found large areas of fire on the Long Road and rushed towards the street pavilion at high speed. Based on the intensive exploration, it should be a large force of the Wei army without a doubt!"
"Wei Jun is here!"
"Are you finally here?" Ma Di's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly walked out of the military camp and looked down from a high position.
The mountain road in the distance is densely packed with torches, stretching for miles and endlessly.
"Very good! Finally here!" Ma Su nodded with satisfaction, turned his head and ordered to Yao Hu.
"Gather all your troops and follow me to surprise the Wei army!"
"Surprise attack?" Yao Hu was stunned by Ma Su's order. But he reacted quickly.
"only!"
The military discipline of the Shu Han army is very good, and those who disobey orders will basically be dealt with by military law. Even Wei Yan had to obey such strict discipline and not dare to go beyond it.
Since Zhuge Liang took power, the only one who disobeyed Zhuge Liang's orders was Ma Di himself.
"I originally thought I would have to wait a few more days, but now it seems I might be able to make it in time for breakfast."

It has to be said that the Shu army was very fast. Seven thousand soldiers and horses were assembled in just a quarter of an hour. The school officials who were about to fall asleep were all neatly dressed and gathered in the school grounds to wait for Ma Su.
Thanks to the fact that Ma Su did not give any military instructions in the past few days except ordering them to camp on the mountain, the soldiers all got enough rest.
"General, all troops are assembled, a total of 7,369 people, all generals and schools are in place!" Yao Hu handed over his hand and reported to Ma Su seriously.
"General Wang Ping at the foot of the mountain has also sent someone to inform us that he will send troops with us to surprise the Wei army!"
"Well done! As long as we can survive and win this battle, I will definitely recommend you to the Prime Minister!" Ma Su nodded, and threw out the flag and the promise of free money.
Put up a few more flags, good luck!
"Now, all you good men of the Han Dynasty, charge with me! Kill all those damn Wei dogs!" Ma Di looked back at the neatly dressed Shu army soldiers below, pulled out his sword and shouted.
"Kill all the Wei dogs!" the soldiers also shouted.
However, Colonel Yao Hu noticed something was wrong. He saw Ma Su put on his armor at some point and shouted to charge me.
"General Ma, do you still want to go to the battlefield in person?" Yao Hu stepped forward and asked cautiously.
"Isn't this certain? As the commander of the three generals, can I hide in the rear?" Ma Di glanced at him and said righteously.
"Of course I have to go into battle myself and lead the generals to defeat the Wei army!"
These words almost frightened Yao Hu to death, and he quickly grabbed Ma Su to advise him.
"General, you are the commander-in-chief of the three armies. If something goes wrong with you, the army will be in chaos! What will happen if there is no one to command?"
It's Wei Yan's job for the general to personally lead the charge. Can you do it if he can go to the battlefield and charge around unscathed?
"If a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, general, think twice." Captain Fawang was also shocked and quickly stepped forward to persuade him.
"Well...this is indeed a problem." Ma Su suddenly hesitated. In addition to feeling that so many soldiers had to be buried with him because of his death, he was also worried about what would happen if Heaven disapproved of him.
After all, heaven has its own standards, and as a strong man descended from heaven, you cannot be worse than in the original history.
So Ma Su thought for a while, took off his handsome seal and threw it to Yao Hu.
"In this case, you take this. If I fail to defeat the Wei army and die in the chaos, you can gather the rear army and go to Jieting City, and let the deputy general Wang Ping take over from me to defend the city!"
Wang Ping is an honest man, so relying on his three thousand soldiers and horses to collect the defeated troops and defend the street pavilion should not be a big problem.
Yao Hu was stunned by these words. It was the first time he saw such a strange general.
It felt...as if he just wanted to die!
But before he could finish speaking, Ma Su had already got on his horse and shouted at the seven thousand Shu army.
"Soldiers, in the past when the late Emperor started his business, he often went to the battlefield in person, in order to live and die with the soldiers. Today, I, Ma Di, am appointed a general as the prime minister. How can I be greedy for life and afraid of death after receiving this great appointment?"
"Generals, charge with me!"
After saying that, Ma Su rushed out on his horse without saying a word!
"Kill!!" Thousands of Shu troops heard this with excitement and rushed out together.
"Isn't it... General Ma is serious?" Yao Hufa looked at the others and turned pale, then he immediately realized what was going on.
"Hurry up!"

"General, the scouts have discovered that there are soldiers and horses stationed in Jieting City ahead, which is the flag of the Shu army." The spy gave Zhang He the intelligence from the investigation.
"There is a military camp of the Shu army on the south mountain of Jieting. The number of soldiers and horses is unknown."
"The Shu army is stationed at the street pavilion?" Zhang He's eyes narrowed, but he soon became relieved.
There are countless capable people in the Shu Han Dynasty, so it is not difficult to guard the street pavilion.
Now things get trickier.
"General, now we are tired and tired. We probably won't be able to win the field battle. Let's take a rest first!" the deputy general said with his hand.
"Don't worry, I'm not so sleepy that I'm confused." Zhang He waved his hand, but before he could give the order to retreat and set up camp, he noticed a sudden commotion in the front army.
"I am Yao Hu, the captain of the Han Dynasty! The fake Wei Xiao is here to accept your fate!"
The sudden sudden appearance of the Shu army caught the Wei army, which had been attacking for a long distance, by surprise.
In the dark night, countless torches suddenly rush out from the front, and the enemy troops rush into your face in the blink of an eye. In particular, the flags of the Shu army are mostly red, adding a bit of ghostly color to the dark night.
The leaders were Yao Hu, Fa Wang, and Qiao Lu. They all had great momentum and were not afraid of casualties.
Following closely behind were the fierce Shu soldiers. After several days of rest and recuperation, the Shu army had sufficient physical strength, which was not comparable to the long-distance attack of the Wei army.
As for Ma Su... because he was not very good at riding a horse, he was caught up by the infantry while running and fell behind...
Seven thousand Shu Han soldiers suddenly charged in, leaving the Wei army no chance to react. I don't know how many enemy troops came out of the darkness, and the Wei army's front army suddenly became chaotic.
"What's going on? Has the front army been ambushed by the enemy?" Zhang He was shocked and asked hurriedly.
A general rushed from the front army to the middle army and reported in panic.
"General, our army was ambushed by the Shu army, and the vanguard is in chaos!"
"What?" Zhang He's expression suddenly changed.
At the same time, Ma Su, who finally saw the battlefield, was dumbfounded when he saw this scene.
"Isn't this what I thought? How did we win?"
