Chapter 83 Risk your life and survive
"The Wei army is back again!"
The soldiers responsible for investigating and chasing Wang Shuang retreated in panic, and immediately reported Ma Su's awakening.
"Near Chencang, a large number of Wei troops crossed the river and came towards us."
"What?" The expressions of the generals and generals under Ma Su suddenly changed, and the pressure suddenly came on.
"How many people from the Wei army crossed the river?" Ma Di was not nervous, but a little excited. Even though his chest was a little dented, Ma Su didn't care at all.
It's just a fatal injury, can it affect me?
"There are too many to look at. There must be at least tens of thousands of people!" Most of these scouts were not very good at learning, and they didn't know how to estimate and gave the answer directly.
"Ten thousand people? I really think highly of him, Hao Zhao." Ma Di shook his head speechlessly, sat up with difficulty, and said while resisting the severe pain in his chest.
If Hao Zhao could bring out ten thousand people to kill him, there would be no need to lure him here. Setting an ambush directly on Chencang Road can kill Ma Su very easily.
Therefore, according to Ma Su's estimation, Hao Zhao could bring up to 5,000 people, which was also a huge risk.
"General, let's retreat quickly! It seems that the Wei army has been prepared!" Shu Ji was extremely panicked at this time and urgently suggested to Ma Su.
"Evacuate? Where to retreat?" Ma Di shook his head. At this moment, Ma Di had already straightened out his thoughts.
"Don't you see? The reason why the Wei army went to the south bank is to lure us here to ambush us."
Here is the raging Weishui River on one side and endless mountains on the other. The road was narrow and difficult to navigate, and we had no place to run when we came here. "
"If I run eastward along the mountain road, I will be overtaken by the Wei army within a few dozen miles. What's more, if I guess correctly, the Wei army has already laid out an ambush waiting for me along the Lianshui River."
With Ma Di's understanding of Hao Zhao, if he could make this frightened iron bastard stick out his head, he would definitely be absolutely sure to kill him. With so many soldiers and horses dispatched at one go, he was probably ready to kill him in one day.
In fact, this was indeed the case. At this time, Guo Huai sent two thousand people to Lishui to intercept it. Ma Su either drowned in the Weishui River, or fled to the mountains to bet on the possibility of his survival.
If you don't want to gamble your life with nature, you can only fight against the Wei army that is five times larger than yourself.
"I was still careless. I didn't expect that bastard Hao Zhao to be waiting for me here." Ma Su frowned tightly, feeling tremendous pressure.
This time, he never expected that Wei Jun would be so well prepared to kill him. If he had known that Wei Jun planned to kill him, Ma Di would not have brought so many people here.
Bring at most one personal guard and let most of the people retreat to Longshan.
"Cough cough cough cough..." Ma Su coughed violently, and bright red blood coughed out from the corner of his mouth. His face, which was already a little weak, became paler.
Who on earth attacked me this time? It was so powerful. Ma Su felt that his internal organs had been impacted, and his ribs might have been broken.
But the good news is that this time he might actually die. Even if this injury could not delay him to death, he would still be dead if the Wei army came.
It's just a pity that these troops all look like elite soldiers. If they can be left to Zhuge Liang, at least the Northern Expedition may have greater hope.
"General, I will immediately lead people to resist the Wei people, and let the remaining people build a simple raft!" Shu Ji showed extraordinary bravery at this moment, grabbed his own ax and said decisively to Ma Su.
"Although the Wei River is turbulent, as a Jingzhou native, you should be able to cross the river with a raft. As long as you are still alive, it doesn't matter if we die in battle, you can still avenge us!"
All this changed so fast that many soldiers did not react. However, when they understood the current situation, they all supported Shu Ji's idea.
As long as General Shenwei is still alive, even if we die in battle, there will still be people to avenge us!
The Qiang people are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of meaningless death in battle. If the mighty general who leads them to victory in every battle can be kept alive, the general can avenge them and kill more enemies.
"Come on, look at the other side of the river. Can you survive crossing the river?" Ma Su shook his head and pointed towards the other side of the river.
Shu Ji turned his head and looked, and his expression instantly turned uglier.
I saw countless torches marching along the river on the other side of the river, like a long dragon. Judging from the number of people, there must be thousands of people searching along the river.
Even if a raft was improvised, and even if Ma Su could cross the river with his life, he would still not be able to survive. Wei Jun had been planning for a long time to kill Ma Su this time.
After seeing the situation clearly, Shu Ji also fell silent. With his thinking, he could not think of how to break the situation.
There are enemies on three sides, and a deserted mountain on one side. It's basically a dead end.
And General Shenwei was still seriously injured at this moment, so there was no hope at all.
"So, we have no way out now, or we are bound to die." Ma Su shook his head and stood up with difficulty.
"The cunning and despicable Wei people knew they couldn't defeat us head-on, so they used tricks to try to encircle and suppress us."
“But even so, are we going to accept our fate and wait for death because of this!!”
Ma Su's tone suddenly turned fierce, and his expression quickly became serious, which cheered up the Shu army, whose morale was somewhat low.
"General, do you have a plan?" Shu Ji asked quickly.
"No!" Ma Su answered very simply and said calmly.
"Wei's army is five times larger than ours, and they have been prepared for it. Even if we fight with our last resort, we will still be dead."
"So soldiers, we might as well take this opportunity to have a hearty battle with the Wei people! It's not a loss to take away one Wei person before death, but it's a gain to take away two!"
"Soldiers, whether you want to wait here to die or have a final bloody battle with me, you can choose for yourself!"
Ma Su said it very well. He knew that his abilities were of no use except luck. So now it's basically a fight to the death. If Ma Su succeeds in rushing out, he will admit it. If he is unlucky and leads everyone to die here, Ma Su can only apologize.
What's more, with Ma Su's current injury, it is estimated that even if he rushes out, he will never reach Longyou alive.
Without timely treatment, his life was already counting down.
Seeing General Shenwei like this, all the soldiers understood that there was no way to survive now. When they believed that they were certain to die, everyone burst out with great murderous intent.
"It won't hurt to get another one! Done!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!!"
"Fighting so many victorious battles with the general is worth it. Take a few more Wei thieves with you before you die!"
When there is absolutely no way out, most people will first panic. Only after he fully understands the situation and understands that he will definitely die will he burst into crazy fighting spirit.
The little time Ma Su had was enough for all the soldiers to react.
Seeing that all the soldiers were determined to die and preparing for the final battle, Ma Di felt that he looked a little familiar.
It seems that four hundred years ago, there was a person who faced such a situation, but that person was already dead.
"General, please give the order! Let us fight the Wei army!" Shu Ji nodded and said equally decisively.
"Okay! But now listen to my instructions." Ma Su nodded, looked at the nearby mountains and said calmly.
"Split your troops into five groups and occupy the five highlands respectively!"
"The hundred fastest soldiers in the team and my bodyguards will follow me to the first high ground. The rest of the troops will go up the mountain and wait for me. I will lead you to a final bloody battle with the Wei army!"
