Chapter 282 The end of the war

Chapter 282 The end of the war

Tens of thousands of barbarian knights rushed towards them in a menacing manner, looking extremely intimidating. But when Ma Su hit him head-on, everything fell apart in an instant, and everyone ran away as fast as the others.

Chen Tai, who was on the side, saw this situation and without saying a word, he led his troops and moved in strategically.

Looking at this posture, these barbarians can't even reach tired Ma Su. I'm afraid Ma Su will still feel dissatisfied after the fight, and it will be terrible if he comes back to find him again.

It's better to cross the Yellow River quickly and run back to Guanzhong.

However, seeing this situation, Chen Tai, Feiyao, Sima Yi and others basically had a formal understanding of the Shu army's combat power.

Each of these demons is a humanoid Gundam, and they fight with no regard for their lives.

The frontal charge was led by a fierce general like Ma Su, and the formation was directed by a monster like Zhuge Liang. Since then, the Shu-Han formation has been formed and the soldiers have been refined. It is absolutely impossible for the Wei army to win in a head-on confrontation.

Especially now that Shuhan has connected Yongliang to one, the shortcomings in its military strength will be largely compensated for when the next troops leave the pass. When the time comes to face the Shu army, which has mastered the art of war, it will be a question mark whether they can hold Guanzhong!

"If you encounter Ma Su in the future, if anyone dares to speak out and fight, you will be killed without mercy!" Chen Tai turned to the deputy general and ordered.

"No matter who you are, you are not allowed to fight against the Shu army. Do you understand?"

"only!"

After Chen Tai ran for half an hour, Ma Di's battle on the north bank of the Yellow River was basically over. After losing more than a thousand assault cavalry, the Han army defeated tens of thousands of Qiang and Hu coalition forces in Beidi County.

However, although the victory was quick, the results were not as good as Ma Su had imagined.

Making do, the total number of Hu people captured was only a few thousand. Nearly 10,000 horses were seized, but this was far from Ma Su's original plan.

The main reason for this is not only that Ma Su has few soldiers, but also that this group of Qiang and Hu people are all professionals in running away.

Ma Su had just made a surprise attack, and the barbarian had already escaped half way. By the time Ma Di began to harvest the game and surround the prisoners, there were not many barbarians left on the battlefield.

This left Ma Su, who was counting the results after the war, speechless for a moment. He didn't expect that these barbarians could run away so well.

"It's over, this battle is going to be a total loss!" Ma Di felt a pain in his body and felt his heart was bleeding.

The losses in this battle were very heavy. More than a thousand Han cavalry were shot to death by the Qiang and Hu people. Counting the soldiers who died fighting with the Wei army, the Han cavalry lost more than 2,000 people.

Despite Ma Su's blessing, the Shu army did not collapse due to the loss of nearly half of them. But such a huge loss was really hard for Ma Su to accept.

"These barbarians in Beidi County are so damn disgusting! I will come back with my army in a while and drive all these people out of the Han's territory!" Ma Su was very dissatisfied and swore with a cold snort.

"The general is mighty!" Jiang Wei was very happy, and the militant immediately boasted.

"I am willing to follow the general to conquer the Qiang and Hu, and grant the wolf the title of Xu!"

After defeating the Qiang and Hu armies, Ma Su turned around and wanted to ask Chen Tai for some advice. However, because Chen Tai had already run away, Ma Su could not catch up.

There was no choice but to return to Liangzhou with the prisoners.

Although Sima Yi was not killed, it could be regarded as plucking out the baldness of the tiger in the tomb. Even if Sima Yi returned to Guanzhong and was immediately appointed as the governor of Guanzhong, he would not be able to recover within a few years.

Moreover, less than half of the troops and horses that Chen Tai came to support were defeated, and the losses were extremely heavy. Although Ma Su was not satisfied with such results, there was nothing he could do to further expand the results.

Thousands of Shu troops, led by Ma Su, finally returned to Liangzhou territory after traveling all the way from the Qianghu territory.

At this moment, the entire territory of Liangzhou has been basically pacified.

When Zhuge Liang led his army into Wuwei, the counties immediately surrendered without a fight. From Jincheng to Dunhuang, it was decided by various counties and counties.

When Ma Di returned to Jincheng, Cao Wei's last stronghold in the northwest, the Chief Shi's Mansion of the Western Regions, also surrendered to Shu Han. Since then, Yongliang and Liang have been connected into one, and the Shu Han has expanded its territory to the Hexi Corridor.

Ma Di took the prisoners back to Jincheng County and handed over to Li Mu, who was in charge of the finishing work here. But when he met Li Mu, Ma Di saw that the old man looked a little sad.

"Your Majesty, I have good news and bad news." Li Mu said to Ma Su after handing over all the work.

"The good news is that Soochow is dishonest again and colludes with some barbarians in Wuling to cause trouble. But now it has been exposed by Liu Yin, the prefect of Wuling, and Soochow's little idea has been wiped out."

"Now that the Soochow regime sees no chance in the west, it has appointed Lu Xun as its commander-in-chief and sent troops out of Hefei again."

"Is Sun Shiwan going to send another wave of military exploits to the north?" Ma Di exclaimed, having to admit Sun Quan's face and Soochow's combat power.

By the way, who is the defender of Hefei now?

Seems to be a favorite...

Well, that's okay.

"The bad news is..." Li Mu just shook his head and added softly.

"Old General Zhao died of illness..."

"What???" Ma Su's pupils suddenly trembled, and his expression suddenly changed.

"Old General Zilong..."

"Died of illness in Wudang. Before he died, he was still worried about the Northern Expedition until the last moment." Li Mu smiled bitterly, the bitterness and sadness in his eyes clearly visible.

Zhao Yun, the last veteran of the Yuan Cong faction in the Shu Han Dynasty, was the last elite of the northern warriors who had followed the late emperor in his conquests for many years.

This man met Liu Bei from Gongsun Zan when he was in his twenties and vowed to follow him to death. Until the founding of Shu Han, he has always been a pillar of Shu Han.

But this veteran finally met his end and died of illness on the eve of the victory of the Third Northern Expedition.

Before he died, Zhao Yun was still waiting for the battle report of the Northern Expedition. It's a pity that because Shangyong is too far away from Liangzhou, I didn't even wait for the good news until my death.

"This..." Ma Su also fell silent, thinking back to the veteran who had great trust in him, and the corner of his mouth felt a little bitter.

"Well, at least General Zhao did not leave the battlefield with regrets because of the defeat at Bao Xiedao like in history. It can be regarded as a good death..."

maybe……

"The news has been sent back to Chengdu. His Majesty was also heartbroken and immediately gave the posthumous title, Marquis Shunping." Li Mu sighed and finally added.

"Old General Zhao gave instructions before his death that after his death, all the two sons of the Zhao family will have to join the army. I will follow you to learn how to march and use troops, and do your best to support the Han Dynasty."

"Okay, I'll go back to Chengdu later and bring out Zhao Guang and Zhao Tong together." Ma Su didn't have any objection to this. Anyway, it was a matter of having two more people around.

"Shijun, you probably won't be able to return to Chengdu." Li Mu shook his head and said suddenly.

"Not only you, the Prime Minister also doesn't plan to return to Chengdu. In the next few years, the Prime Minister will probably work in Yongliang."

"Um?"

Two updates, no third update! Ohh Ohh ohh……
