Chapter 406 Feint attack becomes the main attack
At this moment, at the head of Wugong City, the Han army and the Wei army were fighting happily. The soldiers on both sides fought hard, fighting to the death and determined not to retreat.
Sima Fu, who was responsible for guarding this place, went to the city in person to supervise the battle. His son Sima Wang personally defended the city and fought alongside the Wei army.
Because of the desperate resistance of the Wei army, the situation in this martial arts siege was very tense. The two sides fought repeatedly at the top of the city, and the battle was extremely tragic for a while.
Because of this, Ma Di, who was sent to Weinan by Zhuge Liang, could not sit still. Such a good battle situation, if I don't have a hand in it, how can I be worthy of Tiandao's insurance money?
And what if I go up, get lucky, and succeed in taking the martial arts before Sima Yi comes to support me? After all, I, Ma Su, have created so many miracles, including this one.
So thinking of this, Ma Su immediately wanted to stand up and rush out to get involved.
However, Ma Su's actions quickly attracted the attention of everyone in the Chinese army. Before Ma Su could take even two steps, Deng Zhijufu and several of his soldiers surrounded him, dragging Ma Su tightly to prevent him from going up.
In the end, even Liu Yin, who was supervising the battle, came back and followed Deng Zhi and others to persuade Ma Di to calm down.
"Xiuren! Pull them away! If I don't board first, I can't take this martial arts city! So I have to step forward!" Ma Su was dragged to death by this group of people. He was so angry that he looked to the side and The muddy Liu Yin said angrily.
"General, why don't you rest in the Chinese Army? This martial arts doesn't require you to take risks, General..." Liu Yin was a little embarrassed and carefully advised him while wiping the cold sweat on his head.
"After all, our goal is not to conquer martial arts by force, and the Prime Minister specifically asked not to allow it..."
"So many soldiers are fighting hard to attack the city. If they just retreat like this, wouldn't their sacrifices be in vain?" Ma Su snorted coldly, pointing to the martial arts who were fighting fiercely and said,
"Mobilizing so many soldiers, the soldiers are working hard to move forward. What if it is just a feint attack? What's more, even if it is a feint attack, the soldiers are fighting bloody battles in front to attract attention, and I, Ma Su, still want to sit in the middle and chat and laugh?"
"I must fight side by side with the soldiers!"
Liu Yin was completely unable to answer what Ma Su said and could only stand there awkwardly. But Deng Zhi and others will not let go at all, no matter what Ma Su says.
Among them, Deng Zhi was the most stubborn, because he was specially sent by Zhuge Liang to watch over him.
"You Chang, you should take a rest. There will be many battles for you to fight in the future. There is no need to compete with martial arts!" Deng Zhi could already feel the pain of Chen Zhi at this moment. It was really a headache.
Under normal circumstances, Ma Su was a calm and capable talent in front of Deng Zhi, and Deng Zhi also admired this fellow from Jingzhou. However, when it came to the battle, Ma Su suddenly became a different person. He was harder to hold down than a pig during the Chinese New Year. Seven or eight people almost couldn't hold him down.
"What do you know? It would be irresponsible to the generals to command operations while hiding thousands of miles away!" Ma Di snorted coldly, looked at Deng Zhi and said with dissatisfaction,
"I have been successful in all these years of fighting because I have to be the first to get there! If I retreat now, what will the soldiers think of me?"
"This is a petty loss, a loss of military morale for the sake of temporary safety!"
Ma Su's words left Deng Zhi speechless and in a daze for a moment.
While Deng Zhi was weighing the pros and cons, Ma Di immediately seized the opportunity to use force, quickly asked his bodyguard to break free, and ran out.
"Soldiers, follow me and board first!"
The generals were suddenly shocked as they were careless and failed to catch Ma Su. They looked at each other and made an immediate decision.
"What are you doing standing still? Chase after him!"
Obviously Ma Di wanted to board first, but no one except his personal guards dared to stop him. Ma Su rushed to the front army in a flash, took the weapon himself and followed the soldiers to attack the city.
By the time the group of personal guards arrived at the front army, Ma Su had already followed the soldiers to the gate of Wugong City.
The martial art is indeed easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is located on a high hillside, surrounded by mountains and rivers. The Han army could not encircle it on all sides and could only launch a strong attack from one direction.
But Wugong City is actually not big, and the terrain to the east is not open. The Han army could not launch a fierce attack on the city, so the effect of continuous siege was not obvious.
And the most important thing is that Ma Di is not commanding the main force of the Han army. Zhuge Liang arranged for Ma Su to come to Weinan, which was a feint to attract attention.
But, Ma Su doesn't want to just do a feint attack, he has to turn the feint attack into a main attack!
Ma Su led the soldiers to attack all the way, and started to attack the city against the rolling logs and rocks of the Wei army. The strange thing is that even though the Wei army rained down arrows and rolled up logs and stones, there was not even a single scratch left on Ma Su's armor.
On the contrary, the personal guards who came to chase Ma Su were suppressed by the rain of arrows and had to withdraw.
Ma Su walked to the foot of Wugong City just like taking a walk. Then he bit the blade in his mouth and climbed up the city with the help of prong arrows.
During the climb, a rolling stone passed by Ma Su. All he had to do was get closer and Ma Su would be gone. But with this small distance, until Ma Su climbed up the city wall, even rolling logs and stones failed to touch him.
"I am Ma Youchang, General of the Han Dynasty! You and I will die quickly!" Ma Su successfully climbed to the top of the Wugong City and suddenly caught the defenders off guard.
Originally, Sima Wang and the Wei army had driven the Han army off the city. Just when he was about to take a breath, he saw Ma Su climbing up!
"Are there any masters?" Sima Wang was shocked, but when he heard Ma Di announcing his family status, his expression suddenly became a little weird.
Is this Ma Su? That ruthless man from Xishu who knocked out his uncle’s front teeth? Now come in person to fight first?
So should I go up or not?
Sima Wang knew his uncle's plan. He and his father came here to invest in Xishu. If you go up to fight Ma Su, if you don't kill Ma Su but injure him, can you surrender to Xi Shu if you have a grudge?
But now that Ma Su has attacked the city, it seems unreasonable if he doesn't appear.
Sima Wang was a little embarrassed for a moment...
Sima Wang's hesitation gave Ma Su a chance. Ma Di seized the opportunity to attack the hesitant Wei army, as if one man surrounded a group of people.
At this moment, the Han soldiers also saw Ma Di and followed closely behind him. Under Ma Su's personal leadership, the exhausted Wei army retreated steadily, losing all their energy.
Ma Su joined the battlefield for just a moment, and the situation on the battlefield changed drastically in an instant. As a steady stream of Han troops climbed to the top of the city, the Wei army was unable to resist it for a while, and the Han army's victory was in sight.
It was getting dark now, and it was almost dawn.
But at this time, Sima Wang saw the Weishui River out of the corner of his eye and was immediately overjoyed.
He saw Sima Yi's commanding flag, and countless Wei soldiers had arrived.
"Ma Youchang! Go back! You can no longer fight in martial arts!" Sima Wang led the Wei army soldiers to block the Han army and shouted loudly.
"The Governor has already arrived with a large army for reinforcements. There is no way you can win the martial arts!"
"Go back and tell Zhuge Liang to plan more next time, otherwise you will still lose to me, the Great Wei!"
Ma Di also saw the Wei army's reinforcements arriving, but he was not depressed about it. Instead, his brows suddenly stretched and he looked at Sima Wang with a smile.
"That old thief Sima Yi is here. It's indeed a bit troublesome to get this martial arts, but... do you really think you won?"
Before he finished speaking, Sima Wang glanced at the Wei army's northern camp from a distance, and his eyes suddenly widened at the boss.
"Wait, there's a problem!"
