Chapter 283 Fierce War
But no matter how unwilling Qin Lang is, there is no way to reverse the situation that is about to overturn.

He straightened his helmet, walked step by step to Bi Gui, who was curled up on the ground with his head bowed, stopped, and glanced at him coldly, without saying a word.

After a long time, he turned his head and ordered: "The front army resists, the Chinese army supports, and the rear army breaks through to the south!"

After saying that, Qin Lang strode out of the shield circle, raised his head and walked towards the rear army. As he walked, the armor on his body rattled, as if announcing his determination to break through.

Bi Gui curled up on the ground in a daze, until Qin Lang walked far away, he didn't move.

Wei Jun began to break out to the south.

……

"General, the Wei army is about to lose!" Seeing that the battle situation at the foot of the mountain was developing against the Wei army, Zhang Xiu happily reported to Ma Di.

Ma Di took back his idle thoughts, bent down to look down the mountain, and then looked around, finally crawled on the ground and listened carefully. After getting up, he shook his head slightly.

"Not really."

The four major generals looked at each other, a little puzzled.

From their point of view, the situation at the foot of the mountain was already very clear. The Xianbei people had the upper hand. The morale of the Wei soldiers was visibly declining. They were about to face a big defeat. The general actually said that the victory was not decided?
Zhang Xiu followed Ma Di's example, put his ear on the ground, and listened intently.

Then his face changed suddenly, and he heard a rumbling and trembling sound. This sound did not come from the bottom of the mountain, but from afar.

Zhang Xiu got up suddenly, and set up the awning with his hands to look to the east.

The other three followed where his gaze was pointing.

I saw a long black dragon appearing on the green grassland twenty miles to the east.This black dragon, to be precise, was a long black dragon formed by the cavalry of the Wei Army one day. It emerged from the junction of heaven and earth, and quickly rushed towards Shicheng.

Awe-inspiring.

As the Wei army marched, the flocks of sheep were startled, and the cattle and horses ran.

Ma Di raised his head, squinted his eyes and looked at the gradually gloomy sky, and felt that this team of Wei cavalry came at just the right time.As long as the thousands of soldiers that Kirby can place on the eastern pass cannot stop them, the situation on the battlefield in Shicheng will be reversed in an instant, which means that Kirby's long-term plan will be completely bankrupt.

Even the Xianbei people will fall into unpredictable dangers.

But, sometimes things can't just be seen on the surface...

Zhang Xiu was the first to react, and blurted out: "General, it seems that the Wei army is going to win."

"Not exactly!" Ma Di shook his head again, looking at the sky inscrutablely.

"..."

Which side is going to win, General, you have us all confused!

The four generals looked at each other speechlessly, they all noticed Ma Di's expression, followed his gaze and looked up, only to see a few swallows circling back and forth in the low sky under the gloomy sky.

This is a sign of rain.

Yang Wanwan said in surprise: "General, it looks like it's going to rain?"

Ma Di didn't answer but instead asked, "Do you all feel the cold?"

hear this.The four major generals suddenly shuddered, and they all felt that their whole bodies were enveloped by a chill.

"General, is it going to rain hail?" Huang Xi asked in surprise.The last time there was a cold wave in summer was four years ago.They have all experienced that horrible scene - [-] Wei soldiers were all frozen into popsicles in just half an hour.

Thinking back to this day, I still have lingering fears.

Ma Su nodded and looked around the four people: "In your opinion, what are Kobe's chances of winning this battle?"

The four generals shook their heads one after another, frowning in thought.

After predicting the wrong winner twice in a row, they became cautious.

The battle situation, which was originally clear at a glance, suddenly became complicated when reinforcements from the Wei army arrived and the weather was about to change.

"Fifty percent." Li Sheng was the first to think about all the links and gave a more pertinent prediction.

"Forty percent. Now it's just a matter of Xianbei people losing earlier or later." Huang Xi and Li Sheng held the same view.

"Thirty percent, this Wei army looks very elite and unstoppable." Zhang Xiu also gave his prediction.

Ma Di smiled and said nothing, turned to look at Yang Wanwan, the most capable military general among the four generals.

Yang Wanwan has exhausted too much energy in the past two days, his whole body is a little dazed, listless, and his voice seems to be lacking in energy, but he quickly gave a prediction, "Seventy percent, I think the Xianbei people will win in the end."

Ma Di is noncommittal about the predictions of the four major generals, and he usually doesn't like to draw conclusions before the end of the matter.Compared to those who like Li fiag.A general who is so proud but is often slapped in the face, he is very humble and low-key, so humble that most of the soldiers in the Shu Han army have a fanatical admiration for him, and they are willing to serve under him, even to serve as a soldier under him And fight.

Ma Di shrugged and said calmly, "Let's see, I am more optimistic about Xianbei people."

"The color will change today, and the cold snap is approaching. Xianbei people live in the north all year round. They have experienced extreme weather many times, and their adaptability is much higher than that of Han people. In addition, Shicheng is located on a high place in the middle of the flat land. Xianbei people are fighting at their doorstep, and they can replenish at any time." Something to keep out the cold, and Wei Jun came from a long way, with nothing but tents, so I am afraid it will be difficult to cope with the next emergency.”

These words are not without purpose.

Ma Di had already predicted that the weather in the last ten days would be abnormal.First came a cold wave, followed by torrential rain for seven consecutive days.Regardless of the open space in front of the stone city or the twenty-mile pass going south, they are the lowest-lying places in the entire Sanshanjiasangou area.

The flash floods under the heavy rain will undoubtedly have a serious impact on these low-lying areas.

It can be foreseen that there will be a scene similar to Guan Yu's flooding of the Seventh Army, which is even more serious than that!

This is also the reason why Ma Di insisted on sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight from the beginning. Although he did not prepare any supplies to keep out the cold, there were plenty of logs on the mountain.

As for torrential rain and torrents?There are tents to block the heavy rain, what about flash floods, how can there be flash floods on the top of the mountain?

Ma Su pointed down the mountain and said with a slight smile, "I watch the sky at night. After the cold snap, there will be several days of heavy rain."

Hearing what Ma Di said, everyone immediately changed their views, and Li Sheng immediately said along the lines: "General, if this is the case, it can be said that even God is on the side of the Xianbei people."

Yang Wanwan raised his brows proudly, coughed, and waited for everyone's eyes to come to him, before he said with confidence, "Actually, my prediction was not fooled."

Everyone burst into laughter, and the three women beside them also exchanged glances.

What the great wizard thought was: there will be rain in the next seven days, so wouldn't he have to stay in the tent every day... Thinking about it makes my legs weak.

What the mixed-race sisters thought was: there will be rain in the next seven days, so wouldn't they be able to stay with their new husband, Yumian General Yang Wanwan every day... Just thinking about it makes me happy.

Everyone was also aware of this, and cast gloating glances at Yang Wanwan.

If you want to enjoy the blessings of Qi people, you must be scraped by Qi people's steel knife.

In fact, in terms of climatic conditions alone, the summer in Monan is not suitable for human habitation. Either the scorching sun is so hot that people's skin is sunburned; or the heavy rain makes people doubt life; It seems to be able to eat people.It's hard to feel comfortable in any kind of weather.

The Xianbei people who have lived and thrived here for generations have long developed a certain resistance to this capricious extreme weather.

If the trapped Wei army could not withdraw from Shicheng before the cold snap, this place would be their burial place.Or die in the climax, or die in the mountain torrent, or die in the melee.

Ma Di looked at the gloomy sky, and said calmly: "After this battle is over, the Shu Han may soon be able to occupy Guanzhong and watch the world. And our trip to the grassland is about to come to an end."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly said with emotion: "I will work so hard, not for anything else, just to prove that the late emperor was wrong!"

"..."

The four generals looked at Ma Di with admiration, and everyone was filled with emotion.

They have all seen what Ma Di was like before, and they have followed Ma Di after commanding the army for more than four years.

But frankly speaking, they never thought that one day, their military capabilities would grow to what they are today, and Ma Di would also grow to what they are today.

The former Ma Di was very controversial. The first emperor Liu Bei believed that his ambition was too great and his talents were too sparse, so he warned Zhuge Liang not to reuse him.But Zhuge Liang believed that Ma Su was a rare talent and a brilliant general. During the first Northern Expedition, he tried his best to promote him.

Then, there was the prosperity of the Shu Han today.

Before the Battle of Jieting, Ma Su had always been a representative of exaggeration and talking on paper in the hearts of the Shu Han soldiers, and those who held this view also included the four major generals.

It can be said that in the entire Shu Han military circle, except for Zhuge Liang, no one is optimistic about Ma Di, and no one treats Ma Di.

Because at that time, Ma Di was the best at boasting, and he loved to use his tongue. Although Zhuge Liang often asked him for advice on important military affairs, and Ma Di also offered good advice many times to share the worries of the Shu Han, he was actually not responsible for any specific affairs. Just a staff general.

This situation is like a country where everyone has something to do, but Ma Di has nothing to do, but he has the power to interject and give advice on everything.

Everyone was tired of him, but because of Prime Minister Zhuge's face, he couldn't bear it.

After the Battle of Jieting, this situation changed rapidly.

Everyone suddenly discovered that Ma Di, who used to be so bragging and would get into trouble everywhere, had disappeared, and was replaced by a military genius who was more cautious than Zhuge Liang.Although after that, Ma Su was still very arrogant, but he seldom pointed fingers at others.

Until then, everyone, including the four major generals, realized the shining point of Ma Su.

Ma Su has been familiar with military books since he was a child, and has a high attainment in the art of war and strategy.

Perhaps it was for these reasons that Ma Di gained Zhuge Liang's respect. He took him with him every time he went out to fight in the army, and often held long talks and studied strategies and tactics.

Especially in the three years of Jianxing's southern expedition to the southern barbarians, Ma Di's strategic proposition of "attacking the heart is the top, and attacking the city is the bottom" coincides with Zhuge Liang, and by this, the hidden dangers in the southern part of the Shu Han are completely quelled, basically Zhuge Liang's strategic goal of launching the Southern Expedition was achieved.

After the Southern Expedition, in response to the fact that the soldiers and horses of the State of Shu were exhausted and the country was small and the people were few, Ma Di further put forward the strategic concept of "it is only suitable to save money, not to expedition". Although this strategic concept was not adopted by Zhuge Liang at that time, it was later adopted. Zhuge Liang still quietly adopted this strategy of recuperation.

Although the Shu Han launched eight Northern Expeditions in the past four years, they did not lose much national power. In the first year alone (228), the Shu Han launched three Northern Expeditions, and the subsequent four Northern Expeditions were mostly based on checks and balances. Mainly, there are basically few fierce battles with Wei Guo (the most fierce battles took place under the command of Ma Di).Only this Northern Expedition (the eighth Northern Expedition) at the moment, Prime Minister Zhuge put on the posture of breaking the boat.

The four generals sometimes wondered curiously, under what circumstances did the late emperor Liu Bei make such a comment on Ma Su?
It should be said that although everyone hated Ma Di in the past, they still thought he was capable. At least in terms of staffing military aircraft, Ma Di was the leader of the Shu Han.

Perhaps, the first emperor Liu Bei only saw Ma Di's boastful side, thinking that he was just a theoretical school, and it would definitely not be applicable to reality.In addition, the first emperor Liu Bei did not have superb strategic vision and keen insight into the situation of the war, so he could not find Ma Su's keen insight in analyzing the situation and the excellence of strategic planning, so he felt that his exaggeration was too much to use.

Turning his mind, the four major generals thought of Ma Di's lofty reputation and illustrious military exploits-this made the comment of the late emperor Liu Bei that "exaggerated, not useful" became a joke, and Ma Di used it to flog the corpse from time to time.

Every time after winning a battle before, Ma Di would say to himself, "I will work so hard, not for anything else, just to prove that the late emperor was wrong."

Every time I hear this sentence, the feelings of the four generals are different.At first they just thought it was funny, thinking that Ma Di was a mockery after "a villain got his way".

After hearing this sentence again, they heard melancholy and regret from it.

Now, hearing Ma Su say these words again, the four major generals could hear desolation and relief from it.

Suddenly, they felt that Ma Di in front of them was very ethereal and illusory, as if they were not at the same height as them.Ma Su is like a master standing outside the sky, facing the vicissitudes of the world with an attitude overlooking all living beings.

This kind of understanding made Ma Di's image in their minds even taller.

An undefeated myth quietly took shape in a corner they didn't notice.

The sky became more gloomy, and the sky and the earth were filled with the destructive momentum of "black clouds overwhelm the city and the day is like night".

Everyone went back to their tents, waiting for the storm to come.

The mixed-race sisters also sat side by side in the tent, waiting eagerly for Yang Wanwan to call them over, but they never did.

Yang Wanwan was sitting cross-legged at the other end of the tent, wiping his sword intently, as if the sword was a peerless treasure, and he didn't even look at the two sisters, which made them a little hard to understand.

On the other side, whether on the mountain or down the mountain, the war has reached a very intense level.
