Chapter 327 Ma Su’s killer move
This time Man Chong surrounded Kunyang, and it could be said that he was bound to win Ma Su's head.
The Kunyang front line is located in a narrow area, and there is not much space everywhere, which is not suitable for the Han army's cavalry. Moreover, after the Han army came out of Shu, it was not certain whether they could adapt to the climate of Nanyang.
In fact, the Han army did have a certain degree of acclimatization. Although it was not serious, it did exist.
However, Huainan soldiers and horses have been stationed in the camp for many years, and the phenomenon of acclimatization has basically disappeared. In addition, Man Chong basically brought out all the elite troops in the Huainan Military Region this time, with a total of 80,000 elite troops. Before Qin Lang left, he left most of his troops to Man Chong, including 20,000 central troops.
With a total of 100,000 Guandong elites, wouldn't it be easy to crush Ma Su's 10,000 troops?
The advantage is mine!
"Pass my order and all troops will surround Kunyang and cut off its connection with Ye County." However, as the siege began, Man Chong's smile basically faded away. It was replaced by seriousness, and his eyes were full of seriousness.
"Man Wei led 10,000 troops and stationed them in Ye County to keep an eye on the Shu general Wang Ping. The other troops surrounded Kunyang from all sides and must not allow Ma Su to escape!"
One hundred thousand Wei troops were divided into various divisions and stationed outside Kunyang City under the command of their commanders. Soon, the Wei army's camps were built one after another depending on the terrain, and Kunyang was surrounded by water.
But at this moment, the Han army at the top of Kunyang City seemed to be dead and did not move at all. Ma Su, who has always been brave and good at fighting, didn't even see his shadow.
This made Man Chong suspicious. How could Ma Su sit still and wait for death?
"Does Ma Su have any conspiracy?" Man Chong touched his chin and said to himself suspiciously.
But before he finished speaking, the sound of war drums suddenly came from the direction of Ye County. Then the gate of Ye County suddenly opened wide, and Wang Ping suddenly led the Han army to fight out.
"Soldiers, the time to make great contributions and help the Han Dynasty is now! Follow me and kill!" Wang Ping rode out on horseback, raised his gun and went into battle to raid the Wei army camp.
Under the leadership of Wang Ping, the Han army cavalry in Ye County quickly followed up and quickly attacked the Wei army's Man Wei Department.
Although Man Chong's son Man Wei is somewhat skilled in martial arts, when faced with Wang Ping, a veteran who has been fighting for decades, his hips instantly fell apart.
The two sides quickly engaged the enemy and fought, but after a while the Wei army could no longer hold on. The Han army quickly defeated the camp they had not built yet, and Man Wei was defeated steadily.
But as soon as Man Chong sent troops to support him, Wang Ping quickly led his troops to retreat. By the time Man Chong's reinforcements arrived, Wang Ping had already slipped back into Ye County.
Seeing this situation, Man Chong probably understood the Shu army's plan.
"All the cavalry of the Shu army are in Ye County? So Ma Su is planning to use Ye County as the strategic focus?" Man Chong touched his chin, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
It seems just now that there are more than 2,000 cavalry led by Wang Ping. Judging from the intelligence, the total number of cavalry in the Han army's eastward advance was only three thousand.
Obviously, Ma Di handed over all the cavalry to Wang Ping. He himself was stationed in Kunyang, guarding the city wall to prevent the Wei army from sneaking past and besieging Ye County, while Wang Ping of Ye County was responsible for harassing the guerrillas from behind.
If Wang Ping cannot be blocked, it will indeed be difficult for Man Chong to concentrate on besieging Kunyang. If Kunyang cannot be defeated, the Wei army in Ye County will not dare to seriously besiege them.
The two areas of Ye County in Kunyang formed a horned situation, dividing the Wei army's military strength to delay time. I have to say that Ma Su's deployment is indeed quite troublesome.
"But... you seem to underestimate the national power of the Wei Dynasty. So what if we surround your two cities together?" Man Chong waved his hand. After being the governor of Huainan for so many years, he has become accustomed to the Wei Dynasty's great victory. .
Although you need to be cautious when facing Ma Su, you don't need to be in full force.
Man Chong then adjusted his deployment and assigned 30,000 troops to Ye County to besiege Wang Ping. At the same time, 15,000 soldiers and horses were stationed south of Kunyang, responsible for guarding the grain road and blocking the possibility of the Shu army escaping south.
Although he looked down upon Ma Su, Man Chong also showed sufficient respect for the Shu Han general. Kunyang was besieged not only by the elites of the entire Huainan, but also by Man Chong, who dispatched 60,000 elite troops in one go.
As long as Kunyang is defeated, Ma Su is defeated, and Wuyin's Qin Lang is reunited, Nanyang can be regained just around the corner.
At this time, Man Chong received a report from his own soldiers, saying that the missing Ma Di appeared on the top of the city and planned to have a few words with Man Chong.
Upon hearing this, Man Chong suddenly broke out in cold sweat and flatly rejected the request.
"Tell him that I'm not here... No, tell him that the one who besieged him this time is Qin Lang, not Man Chong! Man Chong, the governor of Huainan, has already led his troops south to raid Nanyang and is not here at all!"
Just kidding, Mr. Hu Zhi, the governor of Jingzhou, was scolded to death because he didn't know it was Ma Di. It is said that when the body was transported to Yingchuan capital, it smelled so bad that it did not even protect its posthumous name.
At this time, unless Manchong was out of his mind, how could he choose to meet Ma Su.
At the same time, at the top of Kunyang City, Ma Di was shouting with a loudspeaker.
"Go tell that Man Chong! Within five days, I will definitely defeat him at the foot of Kunyang City! I am ready to take out my most elite weapon and let him wash his neck and be ready!"
"Fuck! Did this idiot Man Chong hear this?"
Seeing that Wei Jun didn't seem to report anything, Ma Di felt like he was ogling a blind man.
"General, are you sure that the thing you prepared can defeat the Wei army?" Ma Zhong looked at Ma Di's arrogant attitude from behind and couldn't help but feel worried.
"Don't worry, I have been preparing for this day for two and a half years. The weapons, equipment, and soldiers have already been adjusted." Ma Di waved his hand and didn't care.
"Didn't the Puppet Wei always think that their soldiers and horses are the best in the world? This time I will let them know what it means to have a strong army in the world!"

Because he didn't hear Ma Su's warning at all, Man Chong still started preparing for the siege step by step. A large number of ladders, rushing vehicles, and trench bridges were quickly assembled to prepare for the siege.
Man Chong prepared for several days under the city, building siege equipment. Finally, on the fourth day, the siege equipment was completed and the siege of Kunyang began.
At dawn on the fifth day, tens of thousands of Wei troops had already gathered at the foot of Kunyang City. This time, according to Man Chong's arrangement, the Wei army surrounded them on all sides, with main attacks from all four directions.
The Wei army attacking the city was divided into three groups, taking turns to attack the city in preparation to make the Shu army unable to defend.
The plan was finalized, and the Wei troops on all sides began to form formations and launched a fierce attack on Kunyang. At this time, they seemed to be the same as Wang Yi two hundred years ago. They had many soldiers and generals, and they were bound to win Kunyang.
However, when the Wei army was only a hundred steps away from the city head, Kunyang's city gate suddenly opened wide.
Then, a group of Han troops suddenly burst out of the city!
At first, Man Chong didn't take it seriously, but when he saw the Han army's uniform, Man Chong's eyes suddenly widened.
"What is this stuff!"
I arrived in Chengdu today. I didn’t have time to type on the plane, so I could only write two chapters.
