Chapter 76 Burning the Wei Camp
"What's going on? Is there a flood outside the city?" The deputy general who had just been picked up by his subordinates had not figured out what was going on. He only saw the camp outside the city suddenly burst into flames.
"I don't know, but...but it seems that the Shu people are coming! There are fires everywhere!" The guard was also panicked, talking incoherently,
"They have ghosts and gods to help them! We are going to be finished!"
"The Shu people came to rob the camp?" Guo Huai's lieutenant was considered to be somewhat capable, and he definitely didn't believe in ghosts and gods. However, when he learned that the Shu army had robbed the camp, he was immediately shocked.
General Guo Huai had only left for two days when the Shu army suddenly attacked Yong County. Who would have believed it if it hadn't been planned for a long time.
Two days were not enough time to rush over from Chencang Road. If the Shu army had not had some miraculous calculations, it would have been ambushing them near Yongxian County.
Just wait for Guo Huai to leave Yong County and take advantage of the empty camp to steal the city!
"How many people are there in the Shu army who came to attack at night?" Guo Huai was not here at this time, so his deputy general could only make the decision. He immediately grabbed his bodyguard and asked.
"No... I don't know, General. It feels like there are their people everywhere. We don't know where they are!" The guard was very panicked at this time and answered very quickly.
"Not many people saw them, but the fire started in the blink of an eye. It seemed like there were their people in the entire camp!"
"So there's someone inside? It's been planned for a long time!" The deputy general was shocked.
In this way, the goal of the Shu army is not to eliminate Chencang Road, but to bypass Chencang and attack Yongxian County! Once Yong County is defeated and all the grain stored here is destroyed, Chencang will no longer be able to defend it!
When he thought of this, the deputy general broke out in cold sweat. As a general, he has a lot to consider and a lot to think about.
"I must assemble the troops in the city immediately!" The deputy general thought of this and couldn't sit still anymore. He got up and walked out without saying a word.
"General, are you going to put out a fire?"
"Save me! The Shu people have been planning for a long time. The troops outside the city are probably hopeless! I must immediately gather the soldiers and horses in the city to guard the city. If the Shu army enters the city, we will be dead!"
The lieutenant general saw clearly that if this was a long-planned night attack by the Shu army, the state soldiers outside the city could no longer defend themselves. He must keep Yong County and the grain stored in the city, otherwise the entire Yongzhou defense line of the Wei Dynasty will be destroyed.
The Wei army outside the city was now in a state of confusion and confusion. If Guo Huai was here at this time, he would definitely come out with his troops to stabilize the morale of the army.
It is said that there are only a hundred people in the base of Ma Su, so it will not have much impact if they are left open to let them burn. The biggest crisis is the chain reaction caused by the chaos among thousands of Wei troops and their trampling on each other.
In most hijacked camps, the biggest loss was not the enemy's surprise attack, but non-combat losses. In the high-pressure military camp environment, most soldiers sleep with their hearts tensed.
When a camp is suddenly robbed, it is easy to cause riots and then spread into camp roars.
At this time, if the commander has enough ability and courage, he can still be appeased. But at this time, the generals of the Wei army in Yong County had already determined that the large army of the Shu army came to cover up and kill them. They closed the city gate tightly and refused to come out.
Without a command, the Wei army's camp outside Wei City was in complete chaos, and had no ability to resist at all under Ma Di's charge. Ma Di could only be allowed to set fires at will, and more than a hundred cavalry were like no one in the Wei army camp.
Seeing the fire in the Wei army's camp, Shu Ji felt heartened.
"I was wrong, very wrong." Shu Ji stared blankly at the Wei army camp, feeling a turmoil in his heart.
"General Ma is not something Ma Mengqi can compare to. He just rode hundreds of thousands of troops back and forth, killing the enemy in a rout. I'm afraid Ma Chao couldn't do it back then, right?"
"The general is a true hero!" As he said this, Shu Ji also picked up his ax and mounted his horse, shouting at the Qiang and Hu cavalry behind him who were also stunned into a daze.
"What are you still doing in a daze? Make a loud noise and cover it up to meet the general!"
"only!"
Shu Ji led the remaining cavalry and then broke out and broke into the Wei army's camp head-on. In order to create the momentum of thousands of troops, Shu Ji took it upon himself to hang a log behind each horse.
Hundreds of cavalry charged, and endless dust was raised behind them, as if tens of thousands of troops had arrived.
This momentum immediately made the Wei army generals in the city more convinced that the Shu army was coming for Yong County. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and closed the door tightly in advance, otherwise they would have rushed in.
With the complete absence of upper-level generals, the Wei army has completely lost its organization. Under the pursuit of the Shu army cavalry, they fled in all directions and trampled on each other, killing countless people.
The commotion lasted from midnight until the white fish belly appeared in the east.
Ma Su didn't even know how many people he had killed. He only knew that he kept rushing left and right, setting fires and killing people at the same time. My whole body feels a little numb, and I don't know if it's from tiredness or from blood loss caused by the injury I didn't know when.
It felt like the sky was getting brighter soon, but Ma Su still planned to charge for two more laps. Fortunately, Shu Ji caught up with Ma Su at this time, dragged him and yelled.
"General, it's almost dawn, we should retreat!"
"You guys retreat first! I'll..."
"There's no time to talk. General, I'll take you away!" Without saying a word, Shu Ji patted Ma Su's horse twice and pulled Ma Su to evacuate.
"Withdraw! This battle tonight is enough for these Wei people to know the reputation of my big man!"
The remaining cavalry followed closely, charging all the way out, and no one in the Wei army dared to stop them.
When the Shu army left, the Wei army camp was burned to the ground.
That night, Ma Su rode hundreds of horses to rob Yong and burned the Wei army's camp. In the next few years, the generals and soldiers of You Fufeng all heard Ma Su's name and became frightened, trembling and losing all will to fight.
Since then, the mighty general Ma Su has officially become the consensus of the people of Qin and Yong!

"General Kamui!"
"General Kamui!"
"General Kamui!"

A hundred miles away from Yong County, more than 900 Qiang and Hu cavalry were roaring around Ma Su in excitement. Everyone shouted extremely hard, wishing that their voices were hoarse.
Ma Su led them to do something they could not even imagine. With only a thousand men, they attacked an enemy camp of ten thousand people. In the end, not only did they burn the enemy camp, but they also basically escaped intact.
In this battle, the Wei army lost no less than thousands, while the Shu army only lost dozens of cavalry, and none of the guards led by Ma Di survived.
Think back when they were still in the tribe, hundreds of county soldiers would often chase them around. Now that Ma Su is leading them, these Qiang and Hu cavalry suddenly come and go like wind and bamboo, which can already explain the problem.
These Qiang and Hu people are very simple-minded. As long as you can lead us to victory, we will entrust our lives to you. They surrounded Ma Su and howled desperately, cheering for this powerful general who deserved the title.
Only Ma Su, who was surrounded in the middle, had no expression on his face and his mind was running wildly.
Think about what Zhao Kuo will do at this time!
