Chapter 81 Ambush
On the mountain road on the south bank of the Wei River, a group of Wei soldiers escorted grain and fodder and were slowly heading westward.
There were hundreds of them and they transported a lot of grain. On the narrow mountain road, Wei soldiers were on high alert.
And the Wei general Wang Shuang was hiding in the team. At this time, Wang Shuang pretended to be a pawn and mixed in with the grain transport team and pretended to push the cart.
This time to escort the grain and grass, Wang Shuang prepared it very secretly.
In order not to let Ma Su notice, Wang Shuang didn't even take a few personal guards with him, and took a small boat down the river from Chencang at night. He ran all the way to Yong County, and then hid in the grain transport team this time.
As long as Ma Su dares to fight him, he will have the confidence to kill Ma Su and let those Shu people know how powerful Wei is!
"General, we have traveled dozens of miles and have not been attacked yet."
Wang Shuang's personal guard, who was also the official escort general this time, quietly came to Wang Shuang's side and said.
"The Shu people may not have reacted yet, so they probably won't attack us this time."
"Don't be careless. The slightest bit of paralysis on the battlefield may cause trouble." Wang Shuang was still concentrating, alert to the movements in the nearby mountains and forests.
Although he despises Ma Su, Wang Shuang will not be paralyzed by this. A lion fights a rabbit with all his strength, not to mention that the opponent is not a rabbit, but a wolf that can also bite people.
"The order is passed down, the officers and soldiers of all departments must not slack off at all, and be highly vigilant! If there is anything unusual, report it immediately and quickly form a formation!"
"only!"
Under Wang Shuang's order, hundreds of Wei soldiers marched forward little by little with nervous expressions.
After traveling for dozens of miles, there was still no movement. Wang Shuang already felt that he could vaguely see the lights of Chencang City on the other side of the river, but the Shu army still did not appear.
"Could it be that Ma Su didn't come in time this time, so we are safe?" Even Wang Shuang felt a little strange, and began to wonder if Ma Su had overslept and not had time to cross the river.
But just when Wang Shuang was about to order some rest, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
There have been sounds of birds and animals along the way, but now I don’t know when they have disappeared. The entire foothills area was quiet, as if there were no living creatures at all.
This is the biggest problem!
"There's an ambush nearby!" Wang Shuang's intuition from having been on the battlefield for many years made him immediately aware of it and he yelled immediately.
Hearing Wang Shuang's roar, the escort officer was startled and shouted without hesitation.
"Stop advancing and form a defensive formation!"
But as soon as the escort officer finished shouting, he heard a dull sound of war drums coming from the jungle!
March with the sound of drums, retreat with the sound of gold!
"kill!!"
In just a moment, the entire dead jungle seemed to suddenly come to life. Countless shouts suddenly resounded through the jungle, and a chilling atmosphere instantly filled the air.
Countless Qiang and Hu soldiers emerged from the jungle, shouting and surrounding them.
"This group of Wei soldiers are quite vigilant, a little weird!"
Ma Su, who was the first to rush out, rushed forward while looking at the Wei army who had already begun to change formations.
His original plan was to attack it halfway across the river and wait for the Wei army's grain transport team to prepare to cross the river before making a surprise attack. This can quickly disperse the opponent and end the battle as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately, before Wei Jun completely entered the ambush circle, someone noticed something strange, so Ma Su had no choice but to take action in advance.
But it's okay, with Wei Jun's reaction so quickly and he fighting on foot, there is always a risk of death, right?
Thinking of this, Ma Su rushed faster, fearing that he would be caught up by the soldiers and fall behind again.
Although the Wei army was aware of it in advance, it still failed to form a complete formation in the face of the sudden attack by the Shu army. Before the shield-hands could arrange themselves, the Shu army's javelin had already been projected.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Countless javelins flew out, and a group of Wei soldiers who had no time to dodge fell instantly. Before they could react, the second round of javelins came over almost seamlessly.
The Shu soldiers did not shoot in one round as imagined, but became three rounds of successive shots in echelons. Such a reasonable projection immediately caused chaos in the Wei army, and some soldiers began to retreat in fear.
"Don't mess up! Form a formation!" The escort officer was furious. He personally stepped forward and killed several panicked soldiers before stabilizing the position. He successfully formed a military formation before the Shu army rushed over.
However, seeing this scene, Wang Shuang suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart.
With the few troops he has... he won't be able to defeat them, right?
Soon, Wang Shuang knew the answer.
The Shu soldiers rushed forward with murderous intent, but their formation was not scattered. Often more than a dozen people work together to form a small military formation and take turns charging into the formation. The advance in tandem looked somewhat organized, not like a mob at all.
Tianma Su has nothing to do these days. He leads this group of Qiang and Hu soldiers to train military discipline and cooperation every day. Among them, the Yuanyang Formation, which is suitable for infantry combat, is the main content of Ma Su's training.
These are all immortal veterans who have been fighting with Ma Su for more than two months and have rich combat experience. Under Ma Su's training, this Shu army composed of Qiang and Di people was no longer the ragtag group it had been before that could only charge.
At least, these soldiers under the king's hands who are only responsible for transporting food cannot defeat them!
"Kill!!" A Shu soldier in the front blocked the spear of the Wei soldier with his shield, and the robes on both sides immediately stabbed the Wei soldier seamlessly.
With the cooperation of each other, the Shu soldiers broke through the Wei army's defense in just a few breaths.
"Suffer it!" Wang Shuang couldn't sit still. If he continued like this, the Wei army would be defeated if he couldn't meet Ma Su.
However, just when Wang Shuang was about to take action, he suddenly heard a deafening roar.
"I am Fenwei General Ma Su! You surrender immediately!" Ma Su personally led his troops into the Wei army's formation and started fighting with the Wei army without fear.
Wang Shuang was overjoyed to see Ma Su rushing into the battle in person. I thought you would hide behind me and give instructions, but I didn't expect you to come to my door.
In this case, if you take the initiative to send it to my door, I will accept your head!
Wang Shuang's eyes narrowed, and he rushed towards Ma Su with a vigorous step.
Before Ma Su, who was in high spirits, could react, he suddenly saw a figure rushing over. Almost subconsciously, Ma Su held the knife across his chest, and instantly a huge force passed along the blade.
"Fuck!" Ma Su didn't even have time to curse, he felt as if he was hit by a wild boar running at high speed and flew backwards!
"Ma Su has been beheaded by me! Surrender immediately!" Wang Shuang was stunned for a moment when he saw Ma Su flying backwards.
Why is this guy so weak? A general with so much strength?
But he quickly reacted and yelled quickly.
Generally speaking, if the coach is attacked by surprise, the army will fall into riot. Wang Shuang could just take advantage of this moment to lead a counterattack and turn defeat into victory.
As for whether Ma Su is dead or not, all he needs to do is defeat the Shu army and go over to make a stabbing blow.
However, as soon as Wang Shuang said these words, he immediately felt that the battlefield atmosphere suddenly changed. Countless Shu soldiers who were fighting back and forth were suddenly stunned for a moment, and their breaths were slightly suffocated.
"You guys killed the general!!"
When they realized that something had happened to their general, the entire Shu army exploded. All the soldiers seemed to have received a violent buff, and they were surrounding and killing them desperately!
"Avenge the General!!"
