Chapter 562 A surprise attack on the city

Nearly a month of fighting has put a lot of pressure on the soldiers defending the city. Fortunately, the Shu army failed to fight and the army has gone far away, so they can finally take a break.

That night, the soldiers of Pingyang County slacked off and began to patrol less actively. Although Lu Zhi still asked the generals not to completely relax their vigilance, the officers in charge of patrolling had already gone to drink.

Without supervision, the soldiers began to be lazy. There were many blind spots on the top of the city, but no one cared about it.

Even if the Shu army wanted to kill back, it would take three days to march over. Before that, someone would definitely find out, so there was no need to worry.

It was dark and windy at night, and a group of people appeared under the city.

"Let's do it! Let me see how good you are after training for so long." Ma Su looked at the top of the city, smiled slightly, and immediately issued an order to attack.

"But don't kill the opponent's main general. He is a great talent, and he is from Xiliang. He can be won over."

Even though the opponent shot him with an arrow but failed to hit the target, Ma Su was still not too angry. Moreover, Ma Su did not forget to leave talents for the Han Dynasty. As long as he had some ability, Ma Su hoped to gather them.

At Ma Su's command, hundreds of selected vanguards quickly started to work. They quickly threw out ropes and climbed up along the ropes very skillfully, with extremely fast movements.

There were basically few soldiers on the top of the city, and they didn't notice that the Han army had already climbed up the top of the city. Even until Ma Su climbed up the top of the city, the lazy Wei soldiers didn't notice.

The entire Pingyang city was taken down silently by hundreds of people.

Isn't this more efficient than a strong attack?

"Who is it!"

"Enemy attack!"

"There are Shu people coming up!"

Several patrol soldiers found something wrong and hurriedly opened their mouths to warn. However, they only shouted a few words, and a few crossbows finished them off.

"Go! Don't give them a chance to react!"

It must be said that the elite soldiers trained by the Selected Front Camp have extraordinary combat effectiveness. The Wei army, which was caught off guard, was almost knocked to the ground like cutting melons and vegetables when it encountered the Han army soldiers who were ready to come.

For a time, the Wei army in the city was in chaos.

At the same time, Lu Zhi was resting in his own house, and suddenly heard an uproar outside. I don't know where I remembered the sound of fighting and the collision of weapons, which made Lu Zhi's face change suddenly.

"It's bad! Something happened!" Lu Zhi stood up suddenly, without even bothering to put on his armor, and rushed out with his weapon.

He didn't know what happened in the city, but he knew very well that the sound must have meant that the enemy had left the city. Thinking about the Han army's anticlimactic withdrawal ten days ago, Lu Zhi basically guessed who was behind it.

"Damn it! If I could keep alert for another two days, maybe there wouldn't be so many things!" Lu Zhi gritted his teeth and regretted his carelessness.

When Lu Zhi rushed out, he ran into a group of Han soldiers. Lu Zhi rushed up without hesitation, trying to block the progress of the Han army.

"You can't pass!" Lu Zhi personally held a big knife and blocked the Han army with a fierce momentum, trying to block the attack of dozens of Han soldiers with one knife.

However, as soon as he fought, Lu Zhi found that he was a little too naive. This group of Han soldiers were well-trained and their strength was completely incomparable to ordinary soldiers. Lu Zhi only fought with them for two rounds, and the knuckles of his hands were cracked.

If Ma Su hadn't asked to keep as many people alive as possible, Lu Zhi would have died long ago.

As the Wei army continued to flee, more and more Han soldiers surrounded them. Lu Zhi's situation became more and more difficult, and he became more and more powerless to resist.

In the end, Lu Zhi fell down with all his strength. He was full of anger and was extremely frustrated by a group of Han soldiers.

And Pingyang City was also successfully captured by the Han army.

To be honest, Lu Zhi was really helpless in this battle. He never expected that Ma Su, the sixth brother, could be more patient than him. He waited for another half a month after the army withdrew, which made him unable to defend himself.

As Ma Su conquered Pingyang County, the entire gateway to Bingzhou was opened, and the grain road to Longmendu was also successfully opened. Ma Su then sent people back to Anyi and ordered Deng Ai and others to lead the army to the north again.

However, after Pingyang County was taken, Wang Jing, who was hiding in the Emei Terrace, seemed a little embarrassed. There were no people to support him, and the retreat was cut off. What should he do?

Ma Su was not interested in this. He was just a rookie who didn't understand the art of war. Ma Su didn't take it seriously at all. On the contrary, Lu Zhi, Ma Su still hoped to persuade him to surrender.

Unfortunately, Lu Zhi ignored him and went on a hunger strike after being captured. When he saw Ma Su, he said directly, "Zhi will not surrender."

Ma Su had no choice for this. He had fought for so many years and almost forgot how to persuade him to surrender. So Ma Su simply threw Lu Zhi on the prisoner car and sent him back to Chang'an, asking the prime minister to worry about this matter.

After Pingyang County was opened, the road to Shangdang was opened. Next, we only need to continue to attack Shangdang in the east, and Bingzhou can be taken into our pockets.

"What about the Southern Xiongnu? Have they sent troops?" Ma Su looked at Deng Ai and asked.

"Report to the envoy, no, it seems that they want to wait for us to send troops, and then take the opportunity to pick peaches." Deng Ai spread his hands and reported to Ma Su.

"I knew they would not have any good intentions. The Xiongnu wanted to plot against me." Ma Su snorted coldly, feeling extremely disdainful of the Xiongnu's little thoughts.

"But general, don't be careless. The Southern Huns are much stronger than the Hu people in Hetao. If they are recruited by the puppet Wei to stab us from the side, we will be in a bad situation." Seeing Ma Su's disdain, Deng Ai couldn't help but admonish him. road.

Although he suggested using Hu to control Hu, Ke Bineng has not returned to Yanmen yet. At present, the Xiongnu are not under any restraint. If they unite with the Wei army, the pressure faced by the Han army will not be ordinary.

"You're right, this is indeed a problem." Ma Su was reminded by Deng Ai, and he immediately remembered this.

Although he was very capable of fighting, there was nothing he could do if the Huns divided their forces and cut off their food routes. So after thinking for a while, Ma Su suddenly thought of a good idea.

"Since the Southern Huns have not made any statement in terms of action, how about we just go north and destroy the Huns first?"

As soon as Ma Su said this, Deng Ai and others almost choked to death with a mouthful of water. After taking a breath, Deng Ai's expression suddenly turned down.

"General, don't joke with me, I have a bad heart..."

"Who are you kidding? This is a military order!" Ma Di waved his hand and said in a very firm tone.

"The Hu people are dissatisfied. The risk of making them allies is much higher than that of enemies. It is better to treat them as associates of the Puppet Wei and get rid of them all!"
