Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 291 Sima Yi: There are always troublemakers who want to harm the governor

The Wei army was defeated this time, and the casualties all came from the 2 horses who went to pursue it and the army that came to meet them later.Those who stayed on the north bank of the Wei River did not suffer any losses.

After collecting the remnants of the army, the Wei army still had nearly 5 horses and was still capable of fighting.

Zhuge Liang also knew that it was impossible to wipe out all the Wei army this time, so the soldiers and horses used to besiege and kill the Wei army seemed to be one after another, but in fact the total number was only about [-], which was equivalent to the number of soldiers from Wei who came to pursue them.It's just that each Shu army carried a statue in front of it, which frightened the soldiers of the Wei army who had suffered so many times. They just wanted to flee, not to resist.

So the big victory came very easily.

As for the other 6 or [-] horses of the Shu army, they were divided into eight teams by Zhuge Liang, led by the four major generals Zhang Huang, Li Yang, and each general. They took the opportunity to take down the eight counties around Wuzhangyuan at the same time, isolated and surrounded them geographically. The Wei army was killed, and at the same time, the Wei army's land food road was cut off.

So far, it is impossible for Wei Jun's grain transport troops to transport grain through the two sides of the Wei River.

Fortunately, there is still the Weishui Road that can be transported by water, otherwise when the news that the Shu army occupied the surrounding eight counties reached the Wei army camp, the Wei army would immediately collapse.

Since ancient times, the food road has been the lifeblood of the army, once this road is broken.Even if you have millions of soldiers, you will explode the nest in an instant.

Sima Yi ordered the soldiers to make deep trenches and high fortifications, close the camp and not fight, while sighing secretly that Zhuge Liang was really powerful, and frowned as he thought about a good strategy to maintain stability.

In this battle, Zhuge Liang successfully grasped his "greedy" mentality and taught him a good lesson.

This disastrous defeat was also the most painful defeat in the four years since Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang had fought each other. It once shook Sima Yi's firm belief in victory.

Fortunately, the 54-year-old's life experience quickly restored his wisdom, focused his attention on a higher macro perspective, and objectively and calmly analyzed the consequences of this fiasco.

In the past, Sima Yi had the confidence to resist the joint offensive of Shu and Wu, especially the offensive from Zhuge Liang.

Now, Zhuge Liang "resurrected from the dead" with a series of tricks, which made Sima Yi suddenly a little uncertain.

If Zhuge Liang used this style of play from the beginning, Sima Yi felt that it would be difficult for him to defend.

The Art of War says: all fighters, use righteousness to win with odds.Therefore, those who are good at making surprises are as infinite as heaven and earth, and as inexhaustible as rivers and seas.Strange and positive changes, invincible and poor...

The general idea of ​​this passage is that: When fighting with troops, you always use regular soldiers to fight against the enemy and use strange soldiers to win.Therefore, those who are good at winning by surprise, their tactical changes are as endless as the world and the myriad things, and as the water of the rivers.

There was only one reason why Sima Yi was able to defend Zhuge Liang until Zhuge Liang was devastated and at a loss what to do. After taking on the burden of the country, Zhuge Liang abandoned strangeness and put stability first and righteousness first in everything.

A commander who only fights with the orthodox army, and his soldiers and horses are not in an absolute advantage, and when he meets a comparable opponent like Sima Yi, how can Zhuge Liang win?
There is no other reason why Sun Bin was called a soldier saint, and Han Xin was called a soldier saint. The only reason is that he is good at winning by surprise on the basis of righteousness.

Soon, after replaying the battle many times, Sima Yi found a huge flaw in it-although there were many Shu troops who came to encircle and suppress the Wei army this time, a single army was not in an absolute advantage, and even partially On the battlefield, the Shu army is still at a huge disadvantage.If he can make up his mind to fight with him, the outcome is still uncertain.

Unfortunately, after seeing the first statue of Zhuge Liang, he has lost his sense of proportion; after seeing the second, third, fourth, and Nth statue of Zhuge Liang, he has already lost his mind.Thinking that it was a demon technique, he only cared about taking the lead in escaping, and couldn't even think of turning around and fighting to the death.

Thinking about it now, if he can overcome the fear in his heart, muster up his remaining courage, and urge the army to fight to the death, maybe he can capture Zhuge Liang.

"Oh, since Shengyi, He Shengliang..." Sima Yifang sighed, and suddenly a light flashed in his heart.

"Huh? No, Kong Ming has always been steady and doesn't like to take risks. The empty city plan is the only time he took risks. With his character, he will definitely not take risks in front of me a second time. Could it be that this plan came from Ma Su?"

"Ma Di didn't show up early, didn't show up late, but when I was hesitating, he appeared on Longshan Avenue, which prompted me to make up my mind to chase into Xiegu, hiss... Ma Di wants the life of the governor! "

Sima Yi stuffed his chest in anger.

"Shuzi, An dare to do this!"

As soon as he thought of Ma Di, that hated guy, those unpleasant memories from the past appeared before Sima Yi's eyes one after another.

More than two years ago, he and Zhuge Liang faced off for the first time in Wuzhangyuan.Ma Di led the army and secretly captured Liangzhou thousands of miles away.

More than a year ago, he and Zhuge Liang had a stalemate in Longyou.However, Ma Di led troops to attack Guanzhong. In an instant, he took down more than [-] cities, swept through Guanzhong, and forced Chang'an with his troops, forcing him to abandon Longyou and lead his army back to rescue.

This year, he and Zhuge Liang had a stalemate at Wuzhangyuan for the second time.Ma Su quietly went to the grassland and arranged six opponents for Wei.

Now, Ma Di has set up this desperate plan again, trying to beat him to death.

Old and new grudges surged up together, Sima Yi couldn't let go of it for a long time, wishing to catch Ma Su and chop him into pieces.

It's a pity that I can only think about it.

This disastrous defeat broke the balance of Wei and Shu troops in the Guanzhong area, and made the situation of the Wei army in Guanzhong precarious.Moreover, the imperial court could no longer send more troops to support the Guanzhong battlefield.

After experiencing the defeat of Shicheng, the total strength of the Wei Dynasty was less than 40.There are nearly 40 soldiers and horses, and a total of 15 soldiers and horses are sent to the northern border to defend against the six foreign enemies; [-] soldiers and horses are deployed in the Guanzhong area, and there are only [-] soldiers and horses in several important towns from Xiangyang to Hefei.

At this moment, there may not even be 3 horses in the city of Luoyang, and the entire Wei Dynasty presents the dilemma of "although the country is large, there are no soldiers to use".

Facing the aggressive offensive of the Shu Kingdom, Sima Yi was helpless.

The trend of strength and weakness has been reversed, and Wei Guo is now very passive.

"Position" is unclear and difficult to define accurately, but everyone can feel it.When one side has the "potential", even if the troops are at a disadvantage, it is difficult to lose a war.

In the same way, when the "power" is not on our side, it is difficult to win a war even if we have more troops than the opponent.

What's next?Should we fight to the death with the Shu army and wipe out the last soldiers, or withdraw to Chang'an and defend the city?
Sima Yi fell into deep thought.

On the other side, the camp of the Shu Army.

All the generals gathered together.

Zhuge Liang stood on the commander-in-chief with his hands behind his back, raised his head and closed his eyes, with a look of resentment.

Wei Yan lowered his head and half knelt in the handsome tent, his heart sinking uncontrollably.

Before, he took a shortcut and stopped Yang Yi at the intersection of Xiegu Zhange.Just as he was secretly complacent, he suddenly saw the fire in the north, and the shouts shook the ground. Yang Yi urged the army to turn back and fight against the Wei army.

Wei Yan was shocked, and hurriedly sent someone to find out what was going on, but it turned out that Zhuge Liang was not dead, and he was leading an army to surround Sima Yi.

Hearing the news, Wei Yan's head boomed, and the sky fell.

At the moment, he didn't dare to have any extra thoughts, so he obediently led the soldiers to see Zhuge Liang, and pleaded guilty.

Wei Yan had no second choice at all.

Knowing that Zhuge Liang was not dead, more than half of the soldiers under his command ran away on the spot and switched to Yang Yi's command.

He almost withdrew as a polished commander.
