Chapter 169 Master Zhuge, you are in the Cao camp and your heart is in the Han Dynasty
How to describe Ma Su's current mood? Winning the jackpot is probably like this.
Originally, Ma Su had planned to station himself on the spot, preparing to cross the Han River to harass Fancheng by relying on his superior combat power. Although this won't accomplish any extraordinary feats, it's still a solid foundation.
But just when he was about to lead his troops to retreat a few miles and return to camp, the gate of Xiangyang suddenly opened. Then the general of Xiangyang led most of the defenders out and prepared to have a drink with him.
What else can Ma Su say? I can only thank nature for its gift.
Ma Su got on his horse and charged forward with more than a thousand cavalry. With just one sprint, the murderous Wei army was dispersed.
Even Guo Huai and Ding Feng couldn't stop Ma Su. What do you mean by an unknown general?
The lieutenant general was obviously crazy about taking credit. When he saw that Ma Di had few soldiers, he led more than 10,000 Wei troops to fight out. His idea was to catch Ma Su off guard while the other party came from afar to gain credit.
But Ma Su's surprise attack was obviously something he didn't expect, and he was the one caught off guard in the end.
The most important thing is that it is very slow for the 10,000 Wei troops to leave the city, and the queue can be several miles long. But Ma Su suddenly attacked, and the Wei army's front army collapsed immediately. At the same time, Wei Jun's Hou Jun had not yet left Wengcheng.
"Fight with me!!" Ma Di saw the enemy general fleeing in panic. He wanted to return to the city and close the city gate to defend it, so he immediately chased after him.
At this moment, Ma Su thought of the famous Socrates question.
Dogs can bark, cats can meow, and chickens can do what?
The chicken will do it to you...opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared!
Since God has given you this opportunity, it would be wrong if you don't seize it. Therefore, Ma Su led his troops to immediately pursue and fight fiercely, focusing on the opponent's general to pursue him.
Zhuge Wu, the commander-in-chief of the Wei army, was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat when he saw Ma Su chasing him closely. He already wanted to slap himself in the face and secretly cursed himself for being blinded by lard.
The man in front of me was a famous general who was unrivaled in Longyou. Where did he have the courage to take advantage of him?
Before he could finish blaming himself, he heard the increasingly rapid sound of horse hooves behind him.
"I will accept your head!" Ma Su's voice sounded from behind. Zhuge Wu didn't even have time to turn around before Ma Su shot his horse off.
Zhuge Wu was stabbed to death with a shot, and Ma Su rushed towards the gate of Xiangyang like a broken bamboo.
At this time, the Wei army was in chaos. The Wei army in the city gate could not advance or retreat, so the suspension bridge could not be raised at all. Ma Su led his cavalry to take advantage of the situation and broke into Wengcheng in Xiangyang City, trampling wantonly at the gate of the city.
"The Shu army has entered the city!!"
The Wei army in Xiangyang City was in chaos, and no one could resist Ma Di's charge.
However, as soon as Ma Di rushed into Wengcheng, he saw rows of archers gathering urgently on Wengcheng.
The generals of the Wei army are not short of capable men, and they cannot be defeated by just killing one general.
"Fire arrows!" Following an order from a general, the Wei army's arrows rained down, heading towards Ma Su.
"General, avoid the arrows!" The guards subconsciously stood in the front, but were pushed aside by Ma Su.
"Fuck you! We have already rushed into the city. How can we back down! Success or failure depends on this one move!!" Ma Su was furious, pushed away his guard, threw his helmet to the ground, and galloped forward on his horse.
"Come on me! Either we plant the flag of the Han Dynasty at the top of Xiangyang City, or we die here!"
This is the time when there is no way to advance or retreat. If we retreat, many people will probably die. But at this moment, Ma Su threw his helmet and became angry, boosting morale again.
Whether arrows are falling like rain or like locusts, as long as the general is still there, they only need to think about charging forward!
In another desperate charge, the Shu army successfully broke through the Wei army's obstruction and rushed into the inner city before the gate of Weng City was closed.
At any time, the battlefield is so horizontal that people are afraid of being stunned, and they are afraid of losing their lives. The madness of the Shu army was unimaginable by the Wei army, and the morale of the army was in chaos for a while.
Ever since Zhuge Dan's lieutenant Zhuge Wu tried to use his wits to kill him, the fate of Xiangyang City was already doomed.
When Ma Su rushed into the inner city and disrupted the Wei army, Liu Yin took advantage of the situation and entered the city. The remaining Wei troops no longer wanted to fight and all turned around and fled.
Xiangyang, the largest city in northern Jing Dynasty, was invaded by the Shu army as if it were child's play.

At this time, Zhuge Dan, who was stationed in Fancheng, was still dispatching troops to prevent the Shu army from crossing the river. Then he received good news and bad news.
The good news is that the Shu army does not intend to cross the river. The bad news is that the reason why the Shu army cannot cross the river is that they plan to enter Xiangyang City to rest.
"Is Xiangyang lost?" Zhuge Dan's mind was spinning, and his whole brain began to spin the universe.
More than 10,000 troops were stationed there. When Guan Yu's 30,000 troops fought in Xiangyang for more than a year, they lost it in one morning?
It’s really no wonder that Zhuge Dan was confused. He had never even heard of this ultra-low probability black swan event.
When he heard the specific process of Xiangyang's loss, Zhuge Dan fell silent. After a long silence, Zhuge Dan's eyes suddenly became wet and he almost cried.
"I...I'm sorry, Your Majesty!!"
If Xiangyang is lost, Zhuge Dan will be jointly and severally responsible. In particular, the main reason for the loss was because his lieutenant Zhuge Wu had a brainwave and came out of the city to fight against him.
In this way, he, the coach and leader, bears the greatest responsibility, and it is normal for him to be hidden from now on.
Xiangfan, Xiangfan, how can Xiangyang defend the Xiangfan defense line without it?
For a moment, Zhuge Dan's blood pressure was high and he didn't know what to say.
"Go to Shouchun for help!" Zhuge Dan sighed and ordered, waving his hands tiredly.
Before we could even engage the enemy, we lost a big city. How can we live like this?
But at this moment, the soldiers outside suddenly came back and reported to Zhuge Dan.
"Captain, suddenly a messenger came across the water from the south of Hanshui River, saying that he wanted to see you, the general, with a message from Ma Su."
"Ma Di's envoy? See you, see you!" Zhuge Dan's expression suddenly changed, and he waved his hand like a god of plague and said angrily.
"Kick the messenger out! I won't see his messenger!"
Anyone who comes into contact with Ma Di's messengers will generally end up not very good.
Not to mention Lu Xun, who was lucky enough to have horse manure poured over his body. The rumor that Hao Zhao, a famous general in the northwest of Cao Wei, likes to dress up as a woman and like Longyang is still circulating to this day.
He is not the type of Hao Zhao who keeps silent in the face of slander, he still wants to live with dignity. Even if this defeat will make him lose face, it is still better than Hao Zhao.
However, it was obvious that Zhuge Dan's order was not effective, because although he drove the envoy away with his own soldiers, he forgot to gag the envoy.
Soon, the entire Fancheng heard the hysterical shouting of Ma Di's messenger.
"Zhuge Gongxiu, Commander-in-Chief, you are in the Cao camp and your heart is in the Han Dynasty. You are really righteous!"
"Our general said that he admires you!"
