Chapter 627 Taking turns to attack at night
"What's going on? Is Ma Su so confident that he dares to lead tens of thousands of people into battle?"
Seeing the panic of the Wei army on the north bank of the White Horse Crossing, Sima Yi suddenly frowned.
Sima Yi is already seventy this year, and Ma Su is considered a junior in front of him. But being such a junior made him suffer repeatedly.
Whenever Sima Yi felt that he had seen Ma Su clearly, he would always give himself a new surprise.
Now, Ma Di dared to cross the river to fight under the interception of tens of thousands of Wei troops. If this continues, Sima Yi even doubts whether he will directly attack Liaodong from the sea...
"Lieutenant, the Shu army has now crossed the river with more than 10,000 troops. Its leader, Ma Di, has personally lined up in front. If this continues, the entire Shu army may be pressed against Hebei!"
The most nervous person now is none other than Xia Houxuan. Because it is his people who are currently confronting the Shu army at Baimadu, and he will suffer the most if there is a fight.
"Don't be nervous! Ma Di ignored the logistics and food supply and insisted on coming to die. Are we afraid of this?" Sima Yi said in a deep voice, his face as confident as ever about the future.
"Stand still, I've been prepared for this for a long time. Just be patient and watch, Ma Su will be defeated in less than a month!"
However, this time Sima Yi's tough-talking strategy was of no use. Cao Yu, Xia Houxuan and others did not listen to him at all. They were still highly nervous and cowardly.
After all, everyone knows how good Sima Yi is from Liangzhou to Hebei. Although you are the most capable player in Dawei now, no one will have any confidence in you against Ma Di.
This situation made Sima Yi a little embarrassed, but as an old artist, his mentality could still be stable. After a period of silence, Sima Yi immediately adjusted his deployment.
Because the current Wei Army is no longer the Guanzhong Army of the past, and its organization level is even more ridiculously low. Sima Yi also had to go to the north bank of Baimajin to take charge and personally conduct micro-management arrangements.
As for Xia Houxuan, he went with Sima Yi to guard Baima Jin.
Cao Yu accelerated his march south, quickly rushed to the aid of Yanzhou, and threatened the Shu army's logistics from the flanks. Only by holding back the Han army's logistics can we have a chance to gain a certain period of respite.
It can be said that Sima Yi's deployment is still effective. When the commander-in-chief of "Wei Taiwei Nanpihou Sima" entered the Wei army's camp, the Wei army quickly settled down.
Subsequently, along with a series of documents from Sima Yi, the morale of the Wei army was basically stabilized in just two days. If he was given a little more time, he would really have a chance to completely seal Baima Crossing.
It's just that... when Sima Yi came to the front line, Wei Jun was not the only one who felt relieved.
Late at night on the third day, it was dark and windy. Before Mr. Sima Yi could sleep, he heard a commotion outside the camp. Then there was a fire at the camp gate, and the sound of horse hooves and fighting interspersed.
The Han army attacked at night...
"I've only been here two days, and the Shu army is attacking at night?" Sima Yi's expression suddenly wrinkled, and he quickly stood up to fight.
The Wei army had just been calmed down by Sima Yi, but was suddenly thrown into chaos again under a sudden night attack. Before Sima Yi came out, there were already soldiers ready to run away.
Fortunately, the Han army's offensive was not violent this time. Sima Yi rushed out in time and quickly commanded the large army to block the Han army's offensive.
And the most important thing is that Ma Su did not fight this time, so the Wei army could successfully block it. If Ma Su came in person, Sima Yi would probably have to use his own trump card to survive.
It can be seen that Ma Su hates him very, very much. Although there is no reason, this hatred is very specific.
After blocking a night attack by the Han army, Sima Yi didn't take it seriously and just raised his alert at night. In his opinion, Ma Su's night attack was probably to test the combat effectiveness of the Hebei Army.
Now that the test is out, the first large-scale battle between the two sides will probably come soon. Therefore, Sima Yi ordered all his ministries to rest and prepare for war at any time.
Then in the middle of the night, Mr. Sima Yi, who had just finished his military duties, heard the noise outside the camp gate...
"Ma Su, this bastard, doesn't want to sleep anymore, right?" Sima Yi cursed and got up from the bed, and once again personally went into battle to command the enemy.
This time Ma Di did not appear again, so the Han army was repelled without any danger. However, after two consecutive days of night attacks, the Wei army was completely exhausted.
Sima Yi still didn't express anything about this, but he already knew Ma Su's plan in his heart.
"Lieutenant! The Han army has been attacking and harassing you at night, don't we try to fight back?" Xia Houxuan was also disturbed by the noise and couldn't help but come to ask Sima Yi.
"Then you go and fight back. Remember to write your suicide note before you leave." Sima Yi was a little speechless. It was you who was scared to death of Ma Di before, but now you are the one who wants to fight back against the Han army.
After Sima Yi said this, Xia Houxuan did not dare to speak.
In the final analysis, if the Shu army dares to carry out such a well-known night attack, they are just bullying you into not fighting. When you can't beat them head-on, the initiative on the battlefield has been lost.
"In short, don't be too nervous. Once the camp is stable and the trenches and antlers are ready within half a month, we don't have to worry about the Shu army's counterattack." Sima Yi shook his head and comforted Xiahou Xuan.
"But General Xiahou needs to be more careful in these days. Ma Di is cunning. If he catches the loophole, he will be in trouble."
"Understood." Xia Houxuan nodded and answered subconsciously. But he quickly came to his senses and asked quickly,
"What about you, Lieutenant?"
"I will go to the rear army to hold down the enemy's formation, and to guard against the Shu army's surprise attack on our grain road." Sima Yi said slowly.
Xia Houxuan: "Ah? Me?"
So what you mean is... let me take full responsibility for confronting Ma Su?
"Ma Su's frequent night attacks are mainly for harassment and are not fatal. We should take this opportunity to train his troops and prepare for the subsequent decisive battle." Sima Yi nodded and said in an unquestionable tone.
"I will go to the rear to suppress the formation and guard against the Shu army's sneak attack from behind. Even if you are defeated by the Shu army's night attack, I can stabilize the situation!"
"Don't worry, just do it, I will support you!"
After saying that, Sima Yi and his bodyguard quickly went to the rear to sleep, leaving Xia Houxuan with a messy face.

In the following days, the Han army must come to attack at night every night. The Wei army had to be on guard day and night, for fear that some oversight would allow the Shu army to come in.
For a time, the soldiers in the Wei army's forward camp were complaining and their morale was very low. Fortunately, Xia Houxuan arrived in time every time and led his troops to resist.
For a time, the two sides seemed to have maintained a delicate balance, and a long-term confrontation may have formed.
But, is this really the case?
