Chapter 256 Divide the troops and encircle them

The topic of dividing troops is what Ma Su is best at.

So as soon as Sima Zhao divided his troops, Ma Di could tell what he was thinking. He just wanted to avoid his horse, so that the Wei cavalry could quickly destroy the farmland. Moreover, the five thousand troops were divided into five groups, making it impossible for Ma Di to pursue them.

The idea is very treacherous, and it has the same feeling as Sima Zhao in history. But he forgot that Ma Su was not the only one who could fight so far.

Half of the 3,000 cavalrymen under Ma Su were his own, and all of them had received a certain degree of education. At the same level, Ma Su's junior officers are better than Sima Zhao's junior officers.

After dividing the troops, the most important test is the ability to lead the troops. As the saying goes, if one general is incompetent, the three armies will be exhausted, and this is exactly the case.

So Ma Su divided his troops into ten groups, and each two groups besieged one Wei army. I don’t ask you to defeat them, I just ask you to cooperate with them and prevent them from running away after destroying them.

Ma Di himself led a group of soldiers and horses together with another group of cavalry to defeat the nearest Wei army first. Then, just like the Weinan Kuai Zhan, they passed through one by one like a gourd and quickly defeated all the Wei troops.

As long as the Wei cavalry is defeated, Sima Zhao will not be able to continue to cause damage. At that time, Ma Su will join forces and wait with you slowly under Zhiyang City.

However, these two years of education have indeed begun to bear fruit. The subjective initiative of grassroots officers and soldiers has been greatly improved in Ma Di's game, and many tactical changes that could not be realized in the past can be made.

In a few years, Ma Su might really be able to train his tribe into the strongest army of the Han Dynasty!

While Ma Su was very excited, the Wei general was so frightened that he almost fainted when he saw Ma Su's figure.

"It's the Horse Butcher! The Horse Butcher is here!!" The captain reacted quickly. Without saying a word, he threw away his flag and weapon, then rode his horse and tried to run away.

The cavalry under his command also reacted in the same way, and the morale of the troops was instantly confused.

They are also Qiang people. Although they are not Longyou Qiang people, they have all heard of Ma Su's achievements. When the Qiang people who escaped from Longyou described Ma Su to them, it was like describing a devil.

Coupled with the title of Ma Su's powerful general, the entire northwest Qiang people's legs became weak after hearing this.

Suddenly, the cavalry team that was neatly formed just now dispersed in an instant, and nearly a thousand Wei cavalry scattered and fled in all directions.

But soon they discovered a problem and they couldn't escape.

Two lines of Han cavalry intercepted them one after another, blocking almost all the places where the Wei cavalry could escape.

"Damn it! We've been tricked!" No matter how stupid this captain is, he should understand now that he has been tricked.

The Shu army had planned for a long time and had a clear goal, but he rushed in like a trance.

"Damn it, fight them!" The captain was furious, and in the desperate situation, he came up with the idea of ​​​​fighting to the death.

Isn’t it General Shenwei! Isn’t he the powerful Qiang Hu! What's the big deal!

If I kill him, maybe I can become the mighty general too!

With such years in mind, the captain suddenly turned around and rushed towards Ma Su. Holding a long gun, he rushed over and tried to kill Ma Di.

However, when he was close at hand, a figure flashed behind Ma Su, and then an arrow shot out from the side.

"Go!"

The captain fell to the ground in response, and he was no longer as good as his eyes until he died.

The majestic and powerful general actually stabbed someone in the back?

Seeing the captain being shot dead, a group of Wei cavalrymen began to run away like headless flies. They were running around everywhere, trying to get rid of the siege of the Shu army.

But when they passed a nearby village, suddenly a large number of villagers rushed out!

"Kill them!"

"The Han army is here to support us! Take revenge!"

"Avenge the clan leader!"

With the roar of the villagers, hoes, iron pots, and various weapons came up in turn. A group of careless cavalrymen were very arrogant just now, but they were suddenly stunned.

Don't underestimate the ancient clan people, their folk customs are very strong. If you didn't dare to fight just now, you really can't beat you. Now you are being suppressed by the Han army. The villagers immediately couldn't hold it anymore and came out to take revenge.

With the cooperation of local clan villagers, more than a thousand Wei cavalrymen were killed on the spot, more than 800 people were killed, and more than 200 people surrendered.

Of course, most of the Wei cavalry did not die in the battle, but were beaten to death by angry villagers when they surrendered. In the end, the Wei cavalry had to surrender in front of the Shu army and prayed that the Shu army could protect them.

More than a thousand cavalry were dealt with lightly.

After killing this group of cavalry, the villagers immediately shouted long live. Ma Su and his tribe quickly became the heroes of the leaders of Guizhou. Only at this time will the people of Xiliang think of that big man.

"General Kamui!"

"The big man is back!"

"The Han Heavenly Soldiers are here to support us!"

Looking at the enthusiastic people of Xiliang, Ma Su felt a little helpless.

I have to say that what the Wei army did was really wicked. Even if they acted as a Shu army, they would not win the hearts of the people in Liangzhou.

You must know that Liangzhou was basically abandoned during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. The people of this land who had been in Qiang chaos for hundreds of years had long forgotten the plaque of Da Han.

I just didn't expect that now, with the help of Wei Jun, the Han plaque would be picked up by Liangzhou again.

Is this good news or bad news?

All in all, Ma Di quickly gained support from many places in Jincheng County, and people's support suddenly became available.

Ma Su had nothing to say about this, but he only accelerated the siege of Wei Jun. With his troops, he quickly began to skewer candied haws on a stick, defeating more than 3,000 Wei troops in a row in more than ten days.

Most of Liangzhou is plain, which is where the cavalry can best perform. As a cavalryman who has been playing cavalry for several years, Ma Su is naturally at home fighting here.

However, Ma Di was like a fish in water, but Sima Zhao, who received the battle report, was like a fish out of water, suffocated and unable to breathe.

"Does Ma Su have ghosts and gods to help him? He killed most of my cavalry in just a few days?" Sima Zhao looked at the battle report in disbelief, and was so shocked that he almost fell down.

"And are those captains useless? Didn't I tell them to run away when they saw Ma Su! How could they still dare to engage the enemy?"

"Is it possible that they think they are stronger than General Chen?"

"General, before engaging the enemy, all the troops have been held back by the Shu army and cannot evacuate at all."

"That's not a reason! Why can the general escape in such a narrow place as Ziwu Valley, but they can't escape on the great plains?" Sima Zhao didn't listen to the explanation at all and was furious.

Sima Zhao is obviously far behind Sima Shi in terms of emotional management. He can only be helpless and furious when faced with difficulties.

Seeing the situation of their own general, several ministries will become increasingly desperate about the future.

What should we do?

There are still two chapters, Shuzhong needs to continue reviewing...

By the way, I am shamelessly asking for a monthly pass (*)
