Chapter 642: Entering the Central Camp
Just when Sima Yi was a little nervous, Ma Su also appeared here with a thousand elite soldiers in the northeast corner of the Wei army. And following behind Ma Su was his old acquaintance Meng Guo.
"General, I originally thought that after recovering Guanzhong, it would be the time for our Wudang Flying Army to disband. Unexpectedly, after so many years, we still have the opportunity to follow you to the battlefield."
Meng Guo followed Ma Su and felt a little emotional for a while.
Originally, the function of their Wudang Flying Army was to cross mountains and fight mountain battles. It is said that Guandong has thousands of miles of plains and is flat, which is obviously not an opportunity for the Wudang Flying Army to play.
As a barbarian tribe in southern China, their real strength is the mountains. If there were no mountains, the Han people who obeyed the command and had strict military discipline would have strong combat effectiveness.
"Don't belittle yourself. There will be many places where you will be needed in the future." Ma Su smiled and patted Meng Guo on the shoulder and said.
"Although the Central Plains is flat, Hebei is not. There are mountains in Heishan, Taishan and even in Liaodong, which require Wu Dang's flying army to open the way."
"I'll take you to Liaodong if I have a chance to teach Goguryeo next door a lesson!"
"Okay! The general is wise!" Meng Guoxian seemed very excited, and all the thousand barbarian soldiers under his command were full of fighting spirit.
The camp attacked by Ma Su was the troop of Cao Song, a general of Wei. Cao Song was the direct descendant of Cao Xi, the governor of Qingzhou, and a member of the royal family. He has always been a typical example of bullying others by taking advantage of his power.
It was precisely because of this that his troops had the worst military discipline and their morale was low. When Ma Su sneaked in two days ago, he found that his side was the most lax in defense.
And the most important thing is that by passing through here diagonally, the army can directly kill the central army of Cao Wei!
So this time, Ma Su ordered Wei Yan to attack head-on while ordering the main force of Wu Dang's flying army to attack the camp from behind. When the Wei army's reserve troops were basically emptied, it was time for Ma Su to perform.
"It's almost time. The reserve troops in the hands of Sima Yi should have been emptied." Ma Su estimated the time, which should be enough for the Wei army's rear camp to ask for help and for Sima Yi to react.
He couldn't delay too long. If Sima Yi found that he still didn't show up, he might guess something.
"All troops attack! Take down the Wei army camp and go straight to the main camp of the Wei army!"
At Ma Su's order, a thousand soldiers of the Wudang Flying Army who were ready to go suddenly stood up and rushed out of the mountains and forests.
The Wei army camp in front was indeed vulnerable. The reaction of the guarding Wei army was so slow that they didn't notice it until the Wudang Flying Army rushed to the door. Such a slow reaction and lax military discipline naturally could not stop the Han army soldiers who had been waiting for a long time.
The Wei army collapsed at the first touch, and more than a thousand Wei soldiers were directly defeated by the Han army. Wei general Cao Song even fled at the first moment of the battle, without even notifying Sima Yi.
After defeating the outer camp of the Wei army, some soldiers wanted to set fire, but were stopped by Ma Su.
"The layout of the Wei army's camp is very clever. It takes two circles from here to rush to Sima Yi's main camp. If you set fire at this time, Sima Yi will definitely have time to react!"
Obviously, it is beneficial to investigate in advance. Especially Sima Yi's carefully arranged camp, if you set it on fire rashly, it is very likely to fail.
After stopping the soldiers from setting fire, Ma Su led Meng Guo and his group along the road to the main camp of the Wei army.
As a great talent almost at the same level as Zhuge Liang, Sima Yi is also good at arranging camps. Faced with the situation that the Wei army camp is arranged in the mountains, Ma Su even had to go around several times to touch the main camp.
Fortunately, this time Ma Su brought the Wudang Flying Army, a unit that is good at climbing Tongguan. Almost all the height differences and cliffs were flat, and the Han army soon entered the main camp.
At this moment, Sima Yi was still nervously looking at the deployments everywhere, deducing the changes in the battle situation. However, as the deduction continued, Sima Yi's brows became more and more furrowed.
"Something is wrong, absolutely wrong! If Ma Su's target is one of the front camp and the back camp, then the defeat report should have come back now!"
At this moment, Sima Yi has smelled something wrong. Looking at the marks on the map, Sima Yi's eyes flashed with a sharp gleam of thought.
In order to guard against Ma Su's abnormal ability to attack, Sima Yi arranged three lines of defense in the camp. And with the current fierceness of the Han army's offensive, plus Ma Su's words, at least the first line of defense should have been broken through.
But in fact, whether it is Guo Huai or Sima Shi, although they are in a hard battle, they can basically hold on.
In other words...
"It's bad! Ma Su's target is me!" Sima Yi's face suddenly changed, and he stood up, without even putting on his helmet, and planned to run away.
However, just as Sima Yi walked to the door of the military tent, he heard that the main camp was in chaos!
"Why did the Shu army appear here!"
"Didn't the general say there were three lines of defense? Have the front-line troops failed?"
"Run! I saw Ma Su! It will be too late if you don't run now!"
Ma Su suddenly climbed up from the cliff with the Wu Dang Flying Army, which was something the Wei army could not have imagined.
So the main camp quickly became chaotic, and a large number of soldiers were quickly frightened by the sudden attack. Even if a small number of veterans reacted quickly and wanted to resist, it was useless.
In a few breaths, Ma Su led his troops into the central army camp. Then Ma Su ignored the chaotic Wei soldiers and led his troops to Sima Yi with a clear goal.
It is worth mentioning that Sima Yi's military tent was not under the general's flag at all. If Ma Su hadn't touched it in advance, Sima Yi would have really escaped.
"All troops, pass quickly! Follow me to chop off the head of Sima the old thief!"
When Sima Yi heard Ma Su's shout, he would be in a mess even if he was calm. Especially when he saw that the Han army had a clear goal and was heading straight towards him, he knew he couldn't hide.
"Run!" Sima Yi turned around and ran without hesitation, heading towards the rear army. There were all the reserves of the Wei army, and Sima Shi was in charge, so even if he collapsed, he would have a chance to escape.
But obviously, Sima Yi forgot that this was a mountainous area. He couldn't ride a horse in the camp, and Ma Su led the Wudang Flying Army, which was famous for mountain warfare!
From the beginning, Sima Yi had no chance of escaping successfully. It seemed that in just a blink of an eye, the Wudang Flying Army was already close to Sima Yi!
"The white-haired man in front is Sima Yi! Whoever kills Sima Yi will be a marquis of a thousand households!" Seeing Sima Yi fleeing in panic, he offered a reward without hesitation.
This reward was what he could promise as a general, so all the Wudang Flying Army went crazy.
The old man who ran away in front had become a moving military merit in their eyes!
