Chapter 84: Surrounded on all sides (please give me monthly votes for reading)
Ma Su's greatest achievement in the past two months was to record the comprehensive data of the soldiers below.
After all, these days, leading troops to fight is boring to death, and Ma Su is someone who can't sit still, so he just gossips one by one and gets the information before talking.
He knew which soldier was the fastest and which one was the strongest.
Who knew that this little bit of gossip would be used now. Ma Su didn't even need to choose now. He named a hundred people on the spot to follow him up the first mountain, and the remaining people lived on the four highlands.
Among them, Ma Su rarely ordered the commander to put away the flag, making the Wei army unable to determine where Ma Su was. This was very important to Ma Su.
Hao Zhao attached great importance to Ma Su, and he planned for more than half a month to kill Ma Su. This night, seven thousand soldiers and horses were mobilized to besiege, with the purpose of annihilating Ma Su's troops in one day.
This is a gamble, but the risk is not high. In total, the main force of the Wei army will only be away for one day, and there will definitely not be any big problems.
After sending two thousand troops to Chencang Road and blocking the Shu army trying to cross the river along the river, Hao Zhao personally led five thousand soldiers and horses to kill Ma Su.
As soon as he crossed the Wei River, Hao Zhao met Wang Shuang, who had narrowly escaped death. Hao Zhao asked in shock when he saw Wang Shuang running back alone and injured.
"General Wang... where is your unit?"
"I'm the only one left, everyone else died at the hands of the Shu people." Wang Shuang smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed.
"We misjudged Ma Su's level. This guy is really a capable general. The undisciplined Qiang and Di people in his hands have become very organized in just a few months."
"Moreover, Ma Su probably has a high status in the hearts of the Qiang Di people. After I succeeded in the sneak attack, the entire Shu army went crazy. All my personal guards were dead, and I was the only one who managed to escape."
After hearing Wang Shuang's explanation, Hao Zhao was stunned for a while, and then the killing intent in his eyes became more intense.
"This Ma Di must not be kept. If he is allowed to live, he will definitely be a serious problem for Wei in the future! No matter what today, Ma Di must die here!"
Ma Su's performance is getting more and more terrifying. This level of training Qiang and Di people into elites is no worse than Ma Chao's back then.
But the Wei Dynasty cannot tolerate another divine general, and a divine general capable of both civil and military skills.
"Don't worry, Ma Di will definitely die!" At this time, the army doctor had come to bandage Wang Shuang's wound. Wang Shuang smiled with difficulty.
"He was attacked by me in a sneak attack, and I hit him in the chest. Ma Su's body is not that of a military commander. Even if I escaped with my strength at the time, he would not reach Longyou and die."
Wang Shuang was very confident in his sneak attack. It was more than a hundred miles away from the nearest territory of Shu, and Ma Su's injury could not survive it.
"Don't underestimate the enemy. If Ma Su is so cunning, he might cause another mischief." Hao Zhao said resolutely and cautiously.
"Follow me to pursue all the troops and annihilate all the Shu army south of the Wei River! To Ma Su, if you die, bring the body back, kill him alive and then bring the body back!"
Five thousand well-prepared Wei troops followed Ma Su along the mountain road to pursue him.
Soon, Wei Jun caught up to Ma Di's location. At a glance, Hao Zhao found that the Shu army was divided into five groups and stationed in five highlands.
The five Shu armies all defended according to the danger, but Ma Su's commander's flag was nowhere to be seen.
"Ma Su ran away?" Wang Shuang also noticed this detail and was shocked.
"No, this is Ma Su's fictitious trick!" Hao Zhao shook his head and looked at the Shu army's arrangements with a gloomy expression.
"Ma Su himself is not dead, otherwise the Shu army would have fought with us instead of dividing their forces into five groups. Ma Su is definitely hiding among them, but we don't know where he is hiding unless we set up a commander's flag."
"We, the Five Shu Army, don't know where Ma Su is, so we can only divide our forces to surround him together. If Ma Su seizes the opportunity and escapes, we will fall short!"
Hao Zhao knew clearly that this was Ma Su's plan to spread suspicion. As long as Hao Zhao has a place that is not blocked, Ma Su will definitely find a way to escape.
Once Ma Su is allowed to run away, Hao Zhao may be tempted to commit suicide.
"We also divided our troops into five groups and surrounded each of the Shu army!" Hao Zhao made a prompt decision and immediately divided the Wei army into five groups. Each Wei army had a thousand men and surrounded all the Shu troops.
Hao Zhao personally led the remaining 300 personal guards as a reserve team, preparing to control the battle situation in time.
As the art of war goes, if the enemy is five times larger, he will be surrounded. Even if Hao Zhao's troops are divided into five groups, they will still be more numerous than Ma Su's, so in theory there is no big problem.
The Wei army quickly divided into five groups and rushed forward to surround the five Shu armies. Next, they only need to wait for Hao Zhao's order, and they can completely surround and kill the Shu army.

At this time, the highland located in the west was the troops commanded by Ma Su himself. Two hundred soldiers were ready to fight and followed Ma Su.
Ma Di stood on the high ground, watching the Wei army divide their forces to attack as expected, and couldn't help but nodded.
"Overlord Xiang Yu, I don't know if I can replicate your fighting style. But judging from my experience of fighting many times on the battlefield without any damage, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Ma Su gave a thumbs up and pretended to calibrate the position, confirming that the five highlands were basically located on the same straight line.
So far, Ma Su is 100% sure that Tiandao has definitely tampered with him. Otherwise, how can a person who is not strong in martial arts and can break his hand in a duel can charge into the battle many times and remain unscathed?
This time, since Ma Su's own injuries were already very serious, it was a good time to verify it.
I have to say that Wang Shuang's sneak attack was really deadly, taking away half of Ma Su's life with just one blow. Even now, Ma Su can feel his body warning all the time and needs to seek medical attention as soon as possible.
As long as Ma Su was intact or only slightly injured, Ma Su and his men continued to confront Hao Zhaogang.
As for now, don’t say anything, just do it and it’s done!
"Soldiers, follow me closely! Don't fall behind!" Ma Di turned around and gave the instructions again, ordering all the soldiers to follow closely.
"General, is your injury really okay?" Shu Ji could see from a distance that Ma Di's chest was somewhat dented. How could you go into battle to kill the enemy with such a serious injury?
"Don't worry about me. As a man's man, I can only die on the battlefield forever." Ma Di was righteous and indifferent to life and death.
"On the other hand, it's you guys, but follow me closely. I can't come back to save you!"
There are a thousand Wei troops surrounding them now. Although this force is not large, it is theoretically more than enough to surround two hundred people.
But, can this few people really stop Ma Su?
Ma Su was going to use his luck and this Shu Han elite to teach Hao Zhao a lesson. Even if we don't have horses, we can't be surrounded by just five thousand Wei soldiers!
Let me lead the soldiers to charge again today!
When Ma Su prepared to fight a real battle for the first time, he also used a slightly famous battle fought by a slightly famous person.
That man's name is Xiang Yu, and the battle he fought is called Dongcheng Quick Battle!
