Chapter 405 Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west
Facing the Han army's strong attack at night, Sima Yi did not panic. On the contrary, he was quite calm at the moment and began to quickly analyze the situation.
The total strength of the Han army was not less than his. If the main force attacked Beida camp, Guo Huai's strength would definitely not be able to stop it.
But what if the Han army’s goal is not Beidaying?
Sima Yi quickly frowned, and after a while he ordered,
"How is the Shu army's offensive in the north?"
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, the offensive is fierce and General Guo can no longer withstand it!" The deputy general sent by Guo Huai to ask for help was very nervous and quickly reported to Sima Yihui,
"The Shu army took advantage of the night to burn the antlers outside the camp, and the army took advantage of the night to raid the camp. The offensive was very fierce, and now General Guo is ready to personally lead his guards into battle to defend against the enemy!"
"General, please provide support quickly! Otherwise, Beiying will be lost!"
"Who is the general who leads the Shu army?" Sima Yi didn't care at all about how tense the situation was. After listening to the report, he asked a very important question.
It was late at night, and it was actually impossible to tell how strong the Shu army was. However, if he could know who the enemy generals were, Sima Yi could guess a thing or two.
"The troops are divided into two groups, one is Polu Colonel Jiang Wei, and the other is Changshui Colonel Shu Ji..." the deputy general replied honestly. Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Sima Yi with a wave of his hand,
"Ma Di is not in Beiying, which means that Beiying is not the Shu army's main attack direction! The north should be the direction of Xi Shu's feint attack. Let Guo Huai withstand it and never allow retreat!"
After speaking, Sima Yi directly drove the deputy general out, and then ordered Hu Zun to lead troops to rush to the south camp for reinforcements.
Sima Yi and Shu Han have been fighting against each other for many years, and he basically understands their fighting styles.
There are only two people at the core, one is Zhuge Liang and the other is Ma Di. The place where these two people appeared must be the main direction of the Shu army's attack. There was no need to guess.
If they weren't the main attacker, then the threat of the Shu army's main force raid would basically not be that great.
There are now 100,000 people in the Shu army. Commander Zhuge Liang must be in the camp to supervise the army, so naturally he will not be able to go to war. In other words, Ma Di's location is the main direction of attack.
Since Beiying is not here, Ma Su is likely to go east and west to attack Nanying.
In response, Sima Yi quickly acted and ordered Guo Huai of the northern camp to resist, and sent people to help Sun Li of the southern camp.
However, Sima Yi did not immediately believe that the main attack of the Shu army was to the south. What if he was trying to trick Sima Yi into heading south, and then Ma Di suddenly appeared in the north?
What if he waits for the main camp to be empty of troops, and then takes the opportunity to directly attack the main camp?
Facing Ma Su, Sima Yi didn't make any omissions. Ten thousand soldiers and horses were allocated to rush to the south camp to support the south camp, and the main force continued to stay in the main camp for defense.
As expected by Sima Yi, when Jiang Wei and Shu Ji led the Han army to attack Guo Huai, there was also a surprise attack by the Han army outside the South Camp.
"Big men, make great achievements today!" This time, the commanders of the Han army became General Wu Yi and General Chen Shi of Zhenxi!
Compared with Jiang Wei and Shu Ji, these two are the real generals of Shu Han. The two men led the Han army to suddenly burst out of the darkness, destroyed the Wei army's antlers, and raided Sun Li's camp.
This time the Han army's offensive was more fierce than that of Beiying, and the army almost broke into the Wei army's camp. Fortunately, Hu Zun arrived in time and together with Sun Li withstood the fierce attack of the Han army.
For a time, the soldiers of the Wei army and the soldiers of the Han army started fighting fiercely on this small plain. Soldiers on both sides were fighting desperately for their country, and even night could not conceal such a tragic battle.
But what made Sima Yi reassured was that even so, Ma Su still didn't show up. After Guo Huai desperately blocked the offensive of Jiang Wei and Shu Ji in Beiying, the Shu army's offensive did not increase.
In other words, both sides of the Shu army were feigning attacks, and Ma Su also planned to see which side he supported before making any plans.
"Teacher, have you seen it? This is the importance of waiting!" Sima Yi pointed at the reports sent from both sides, stroking his beard and educating Master Sima with a slight complacency,
"If you make a decision too hastily, you will inevitably fall into an unfavorable situation. So at any time, waiting and seeing is the best choice!"
"If I had sent troops for reinforcements too early, I would probably have fallen into Ma Su's plan by now."
"Father, I have learned a lesson!" Master Sima nodded and calmly replied.
"Ruzi can..."
"Captain! General Sima Wang is asking for help! Shu general Ma Di is leading his troops to launch a martial arts raid in Weinan!" At this time, a messenger ran in rolling and crawling, directly interrupting Sima Yi's pretense.
"What? Ma Di went to martial arts!" Sima Yi's hand suddenly stiffened and he almost pulled off his beard. Then a sudden thought occurred in his heart, and he quickly took a look at the battle report, and his expression suddenly changed.
The martial arts is now guarded by father and son Sima Fu and Sima Wang.
Because the martial arts terrain is dangerous and it is surrounded by mountains and rivers, it is extremely difficult to break through. In addition, Sima Fu and his son led many troops, a total of 10,000, so Sima Yi never took this into consideration.
However, the Shu army did not follow the normal routine at all, and Ma Di appeared here. Not only did Ma Su appear here, but the main force of the Han army also entered Weinan, and the army rushed to attack Wugong.
Once the martial arts was defeated, all Sima Yi's preparations were in vain. At that time, the Han army can attack eastward from Wugong along the Wei River and approach Chang'an City.
By then, Sima Yi might not even be able to save Chang'an in Weinan, let alone Weibei!
Sima Yi couldn't sit still now, and his face darkened.
After exhausting all his tricks, he finally fell into Ma Su's trap. The two Han armies were all feigning attacks, just to make Sima Yi stand still, and then the main force took the opportunity to attack Wu Gong!
This time it became a speed competition between him and Ma Su. Which one would be the first to achieve martial arts success, or whether he would arrive in time first?
"There's no time to hesitate! Master, quickly assemble your army and rush to my rescue. We must not let Ma Su succeed in his treacherous plan!"
"only!"

At the same time, corpses were everywhere under Wugong City.
Countless Han soldiers came forward to attack the city with flying ladders, cloud ladders and stilt arrows shot by the Eight Bull Crossbows.
Since Ma Su designed the Eight Ox Crossbow, the efficiency of the Han army's siege has been greatly improved. Basically, there is no need to carry huge ladders. Just using stilts and arrows is enough to support the Han army in attacking the city.
When the soldiers of the Han army were not afraid of death, they moved forward desperately. In the middle of the Han army, a large group of generals were competing with Ma Di to see who was stronger!
"General, you can't do that!"
"General Chariot and Cavalry, please take a rest! You don't need to attack the city first!"
"Prince and Tutor, please sit down. We can talk about the art of war. There is no need to attack the city personally!"
"Get out of my way! I want to board first in person, don't stop me!!"
Being dragged tightly by Liu Yin, Deng Zhi, Jufu and others, the Han Chariot General, the Crown Prince and the Grand Tutor, and the Marquis of Lueyang Township, Ma Su, made a sharp explosion!
