Chapter 4 Replanning
Zhang He was on a hasty march from Chang'an to get here. Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were rushing day and night to get here. It was good.
When tens of thousands of troops were tired and sleepy, with no intention of fighting at all, the Shu army suddenly showed up!
Being condescending and overwhelming is not unreasonable. The seven thousand Shu troops, led by Ma Su himself, had great morale and rushed forward, directly scattering the Wei army's front army.
By the time Zhang He reacted, the Shu army had already killed the former army until it was about to collapse.
"Damn Shu Dog! We have fallen into a trap!" Zhang He's face was gloomy. The night attack in this dark night seemed to have been premeditated. He was afraid that he had fallen into the trick of the Zhuge villager.
"The front army will turn to the rear army, and the rear army will turn into the front army and retreat several miles to form a formation. I will personally go to suppress the formation!" After saying this, Zhang He rode towards the front army, which was already in chaos.
"I am General Zhang He!" Zhang He shouted loudly as soon as he arrived at the front army, and his soldiers followed closely behind him holding torches and flags.
Zhang He's loud drink gave the Wei army a shot in the arm in the dark night. The Wei soldiers became much more stable after seeing the handsome flag.
The generals are still here, what are you afraid of!
The captain of the Shu Army also noticed Zhang He's movements. The difference was that all the captains of the Shu Army were extremely excited.
Kill the general and capture the flag! This is recognized as the first achievement on the battlefield! Its status is comparable to that of the first to ascend a siege.
As soon as he thought of this, several captains and their Shu troops immediately surrounded Zhang He.
"The one in the red robe is Zhang He!" Fawang shouted, and he personally rushed towards Zhang He with a big knife.
"I am the captain of the school, Fawang. Zhang He, I will accept your head!"
Zhang He glanced at him and passed by the wrong horse. Fa Wang fell off his horse.
"How brave! I, Yao Hu, am here to fight with you!" At this time, Yao Hu also arrived, holding a big ax and approaching Zhang He.
In less than three rounds, Zhang He shot Yao Hu through the shoulder, and Yao Hu escaped with his injury.
Just kidding, Zhang He was also the Four Court Pillars of Hebei Province at the beginning, on the same level as Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei. With just these few little shrimps, Zhang He could not beat them both with one hand.
Zhang He's formation killed one general and defeated another, boosting the morale of the Wei army in one fell swoop. The Wei army, which was on the verge of collapse, temporarily stabilized.
After all, the Shu army only had 7,000 men, while the Wei army's front army had 15,000 men. Ma Di also did not make any suitable offensive formation, and did not effectively defeat the Wei army.
However, just when Zhang He was about to control the situation, he suddenly heard a commotion behind him.
Zhang He suddenly turned around and saw a sudden chaos in the direction of the Chinese army, with the sounds of fighting and chaos intertwined.
"Soldiers! Follow me and kill!" Wang Ping rode a war horse and led 3,000 elite soldiers into the middle of the Wei army from the side.
When the front army was attacked, the Wei army was already in turmoil, but suddenly the Chinese army was attacked and fell into chaos.
"We are surrounded!!"
"The Shu army is coming! Run!"
"The Shu army killed the general!! Help!"
Ordinary soldiers in the dark could not see the military orders clearly. They only knew that countless Shu troops came out of the darkness, and the morale of the army was in chaos for a while.
Wang Ping was not Ma Su either. He led his troops in and out from the left and right, shouting loudly and charging at the same time. Under his leadership, the Shu army penetrated the Wei army, and the entire Chinese army was panicked.
"General! The Chinese army was also ambushed by the Shu army!" The deputy general hurried to the front army and reported to Zhang He in panic.
"How many people are there in the Shu army? How many ambushes are there?" Zhang He was feeling confused at this time and asked through gritted teeth.
"I don't know, but I feel that there are Shu troops everywhere!" the deputy general said with a sad face.
"It seems like tens of thousands of Shu troops are ambushing us. We don't even know how many Shu troops there are."
"Idiot!!" Zhang He's face was dark, but this was really not the time to be angry, so he could only order helplessly.
"Order the rear army to stand firm, and the front army and the middle army to retreat as much as possible! Let us withdraw as much as we can!"
…………

This night attack lasted until dawn, and the Shu army finally retreated. The Wei army fled all the way on the dark mountain road, trampling on each other and killing countless people.
Zhang He counted at dawn that about 8,000 people were injured or killed!
In sharp contrast to the Wei army's mourning, there was a cheering atmosphere in the Shu army camp.
In this battle, the Shu army defeated the Wei army, although they failed to kill the general and capture the flag. But judging solely from the military flags and baggage left by the Wei army, this was definitely a great victory!
The entire Shu army cheered, except Ma Di...
"General, our army has killed at least 5,000 Wei soldiers in this battle, and the Wei army will not be able to attack again for at least a few days!" Yao Hu's wound on his shoulder was still bleeding, but he still reported to Ma Su excitedly.
"And our army lost less than a thousand people. It is an absolute victory!"
"It's a pity that my subordinates were incompetent and failed to kill their general Zhang He!"
Ma Su nodded expressionlessly, with no trace of surprise in his eyes.
"I know, it's nothing, let's go down."
"Wei!" Yao Hu's eyes couldn't help but shine with admiration.
As expected of a direct descendant of the Prime Minister, Gujing Wubo can achieve such a victory without caring, he is really a heavenly being.
"rnm Zhang He!"
As soon as Yao Hu walked out of the military tent, Ma Su cursed with a dark face and gritted his teeth angrily.
He completely followed the historical script of Ma Su guarding the street pavilion, just so that he could die here and go home.
The results of it? The Wei army was completely different from what was recorded in the history books. There was no such thing as being incapable of being defeated at the first touch.
As a result, the plot where the entire Shu army was annihilated and he was beheaded in tears turned out to be like this.
Of course, what made Ma Su most angry was that after he saw Zhang He defeat two Shu generals in a row last night, he immediately chased after him to challenge him.
As a result, Zhang He didn't even look at him, and rushed left and right with his attendants. Ma Su chased him all night and failed to catch up.
Why don't you just chop me off and leave!
Ma Su was very angry. After scolding Zhang He several times, Ma Su calmed down. After calming down, Ma Su began to take stock of why the Shu army was able to win this time.
First of all, no matter how angry Ma Su was, he knew that this could not be Wei Jun's problem, and his butterfly effect could not affect it so quickly.
There was no problem with what he did before. He even looked at that mountain specifically and found that there was indeed no water source.
The only variable is that he did not wait for the Wei army to be in place before taking action like in the original history.
It turns out that in history, Ma Su was very proud and did not launch a night attack at all. Instead, he waited for Zhang He to lead his troops to rest for the night, and then launched the charge after the encirclement was completed.
Ma Di himself does not have much talent in leading troops. This can be seen from the fact that Ma Di led a night attack of 7,000 men last night and barely managed to impress the Wei army's vanguard.
But this time, as soon as he saw the Wei army appear, he led his troops and charged forward without saying a word. Because Ma Di did not do any reconnaissance or anything, the Shu army rushed faster than the Wei army's scouts.
Zhang He, an old comrade, was sneak-attacked by Ma Su with an uppercut...
After thinking about this, Ma Su finally figured out the key to the matter.
"I'm impatient!" Ma Su nodded slightly and spread out the map of the street pavilion again.
"I have to plan well to prevent another accident."
When I arrived at the station, I found out that my ID card had expired. I had to apply for a new ID card tomorrow before I could sign the contract...
