Chapter 275 Sima Yi’s tough words
At midnight, the Wei army camp was silent. The more than 10,000 Wei soldiers were very relaxed about this because they could return to their own territory immediately.
Of course, they have no reason not to relax. After all, this area is already the radiation area of Wei's power. This place is hundreds of miles away from Liangzhou, and Chen Tai's troops are thirty miles away.
Such a safe place, even Sima Yi thought it was safe to rest tonight.
However, when the Wei army soldiers were sleeping peacefully, five thousand Han army cavalry had quietly arrived at the designated position.
"The Wei army's camp is backed by the Yellow River. There are three sides in total that can be attacked. Sima Yi's camp is in the middle army, and the other generals are also nearby."
With his soldiers holding torches for lighting, Ma Su drew a simple diagram on the ground and quickly issued various instructions.
"So this battle requires troops to be divided into three groups. Bo Zhan will lead two thousand troops and attack from the east gate of the Wei army's camp. Bo Yue will lead two thousand troops and attack from the west. They will attack from both sides and attack Sima Yi's central army!"
"When the Wei army is in chaos, attention is drawn to both sides. I will personally lead my cavalry to rush in from the north and attack Sima Yi's handsome flag!"
"Catch this thief alive today!"
At the end of the sentence, Ma Di drew his sword and pointed it at the position of Sima Yi, the representative of the Chinese army, and shouted loudly.
"Capture Sima Yi alive!"
"Capture Sima Yi alive!"
"Capture Sima Yi alive!"
…………
The soldiers of the Han army were all excited and shouted together with Ma Di.
Fortunately, Ma Di was far away, otherwise the five thousand people might have alerted the Wei army by shouting in unison.
After the arrangements were made, Jiang Wei and Ma Dai each led two thousand troops and began to move around. Ma Di personally led Long Wuyi, who had followed him all over the country, into the designated position and prepared to attack Sima Camp at night.
Under the cover of night, Jiang Wei and Ma Dai each led two thousand cavalrymen and took advantage of the darkness to reach the vicinity of the Wei army's camp. Each soldier bites a wooden stick, each horse takes off a bell, and the entire army approaches quietly.
The Wei army camp was completely defenseless at the moment. Although Sima Yi still emphasized the vigilance, the defense was still very lax.
After all, who would have thought that a psycho would chase them for hundreds of miles to beat them up.
Jiang Wei reached forward and began to observe the Wei army's defensive strength. What surprised him was that there were only a few sentry posts to the east of the Wei army, and they were very far away from each other.
This gives Jiang Wei room to show off. Our Tianshui Jiang Boyue is a top-notch archer.
Jiang Wei opened his bow and nocked an arrow, squinting one eye and holding his breath, aiming the arrow at the yawning sentries.
"Go!"
Jiang Wei shot an arrow, and a sentry fell to the ground.
But what surprised Jiang Wei was that although they were far away, the nearby sentries quickly noticed something was wrong. Several sentries in the surrounding area all stood up and looked in that direction.
"what's the situation?"
"Where did Lao Wu go?"
Seeing that he was about to be discovered, Jiang Wei's heart suddenly tightened. Jiang Wei, who had no time to think, quickly drew his bow again and took aim with dozens of good archers in the army. After a few breaths, the remaining sentries all fell to the ground.
"Phew! Very good, no one will find out now."
Jiang Wei was very satisfied with his approach. As long as he killed all the discovered Wei troops, he would have succeeded in lurking.
After taking care of the sentry post, Jiang Wei led his soldiers forward in person and moved the Wei army's antlers away, clearing the final obstacle to the cavalry charge.
"You sons of the great Han! Today is the day to make great achievements!" Jiang Wei got on his horse, picked up his spear, and shouted like Ma Su encouraging his soldiers.
"Help the Han Dynasty! Kill all the Wei dogs!"
Following Jiang Wei's shout, two thousand Han cavalry quickly broke through the Wei army's gate.
At this time, most of the soldiers in the Wei army camp had already entered a deep sleep. At this time, the Han army suddenly attacked the camp, and the Wei army was in an uproar.
On the other side of the camp, Ma Dai noticed the chaos in the Wei army's camp and immediately mounted his horse to fight out. Two thousand horsemen, each holding a spear, followed Ma Dai and broke into the Wei army camp from the west.
The Wei army's camp was suddenly attacked from two sides, and the Wei army suddenly became chaotic.
Fortunately, the Wei army had many good generals at this time. When there was a commotion in the army, Fei Yao, Dai Ling, and Wei Ping immediately stood up.
These people are all veterans who have followed Sima Yi for three or four years and have been around in the northwest for a long time. Several people stood up and quickly executed the rioting soldiers, and then led their own troops to resist the Han cavalry that attacked the camp.
"Children from Xishu, don't be so arrogant. Grandpa Dai is here to fight with you!"
"You dare to speak such arrogant words as a child, your head belongs to me!"
Dai Ling and Fei Yao rode out, dispersed the fleeing soldiers, and stood in front of Jiang Wei. The two men's soldiers also followed closely behind them, forming a military formation in the narrow camp to resist the surprise attack of Jiang Wei's cavalry.
On the other side, Wei Ping and Jia Xu led troops to stop Ma Dai. After a brief period of confusion, the Wei army quickly reacted and organized a resistance force.
This Wei army was an elite Liangzhou force trained by Sima Yi himself, and was not easily defeated.
"Haha, you two still want to stop me?" Jiang Wei snorted and looked at the two of them with disdain.
"You guys come together, I'm in a hurry!"
"furious!"
"Boy, you will pay for this!" Fei Yao and Dai Ling were furious, and they drew their swords and surrounded him.
Jiang Wei was not afraid at all and faced them with guns drawn, fighting two men with one horse and one horse.
The soldiers behind both sides also took up their weapons and charged in, and they quickly fought in one place.
In the Chinese army camp, Sima Yi had actually woken up long ago, but he still sat calmly in the Chinese army without any fear.
"Father! The Shu army is catching up!" Sima Zhao rushed in in panic, only to find that his father and brother were playing chess in the military tent without any fear.
This made Sima Zhao a little panicked. Why are you still in the mood to play chess after this time?
"Zhao, sit down." Sima Yi waved his hand gently, his expression as calm as ever.
"Father, outside..."
"The Shu army came to attack. Although it was indeed a bit unexpected, that's it. Although they attacked our army, they have fallen into my plan. It won't take long to annihilate them all."
Sima Yi's calm tone made Sima Zhao calm down, and his fear dissipated slightly.
However, Sima Shi, who was playing chess with Sima Yi, was a little helpless and expressed helplessness at his father's harsh words.
There was obviously no plan, and he almost lost his pants after being attacked by someone, but he still had to insist that he had expected it.
All I can say is that my father seems to be very talented when it comes to speaking out.
However, Sima Yi's steady presence in the camp did play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army. Seeing their commander sitting still, chatting and playing chess, the troops were no longer so panicked for a while.
Our envoy had already predicted this, but we were so panicked!
However, when the Wei army gradually stabilized, the third cavalry of the Shu army also appeared to the north of the camp.
"It's our turn, soldiers!"
