"I didn't expect the street pavilion to be so dilapidated, why don't we go up the mountain?"

It is not too difficult to build some temporary fortifications on the mountain, and you can also use the mountain to achieve a good defensive effect.

If the enemy does not want to attack the mountain, but chooses to take a detour, one's own side can observe clearly and go down the mountain to fight at any time, and it is estimated that good results can be obtained.

But this decision was firmly opposed by Ma Su.

"Don't go up the mountain, don't go up the mountain,

The prince wants me to guard the street pavilion, how can I use troops at will against the prince's festival? "

"But"

"No way, General, going up the mountain is a way to seek your own death."

Since going up the mountain at Shiting, Ma Di now sees all the generals guarding the mountain as fools.

He believes that although the street pavilion is broken, it can still play a fighting role after a little repair.

Wang Ping also thought that the mountain road was rugged and narrow, even if the enemy had [-] troops, they would not be able to deploy, and it would not be a big problem to stick to it for a month.

Although Ding Feng was the most senior among them, he believed in the prince's decision very much.

Since the prince asked Wang Ping to command, he obeyed Wang Ping's decision.

In the next few days, Ma Di personally arranged the city defense of Jieting.

It was very cold and the surrounding soil was frozen very hard, so it was very difficult to get soil to build the city, but Ma Su asked people to carry some stones to plug the gaps in the city wall, and then asked people to seize the time to boil water and pour it on the city.

Under the blowing of the cold wind, an ice city was quickly built.

He also felt that the gap was not very stable, so he simply asked the soldiers to temporarily stop practicing, and everyone followed the craftsmen to learn how to make antlers.

If it weren't for the lack of wood suitable for making antlers around, Ma Di even wanted to bury several surrounding valleys with antlers, so as to ensure that any troops of the Wei army would not be able to play the slightest role.

After doing all of this, Ma Di still felt that it was not enough.

He also ordered a pit to be dug outside the city, and to cover the pit with dead branches and leaves.

Meng Huo, who had nothing to do, stared at the panting Ma Di, frowned and asked:

"You dug a hole with great difficulty and covered it with dead branches. Any fool would know what's going on underneath.

Does anyone actually fall in? "

Ma Su wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a breath and said:

"It is because the trap is not easy to dig that I made this move.

I dug a few small pits every few steps and covered them with dead branches.

Do the same for other places without pits.

If the bandit army attacked the city together, they would have to find a way to dig up all the dead branches one by one.

At that time, I will be able to stop the enemy's charge a little while waiting for the arrows to rain down on the city. "

You waste so much effort just for this?

Meng Huo was speechless.

He rolled his eyes and murmured:

"I think Ma Junjun is still not cautious enough."

"Oh, I would like to hear Brother Meng break it down."

"Why are you not careful that someone will fly over from the sky?"

Ma Su:

Meng Huo was about to raise the bar to make the atmosphere lively, but Ma Di frowned seriously and thought for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

"That's right."

Meng Huo:

"Brother Meng, trouble me to lead a thousand troops and station them in the surrounding mountains to prevent the enemy from raiding!"

"What is this for?"

Ma Su's thick eyebrows almost frowned into a straight line:

"I heard before that there are people in Nanzhong who can climb mountains and ridges along vines, as if walking on flat ground,

The street pavilion stands by the mountain, if the enemy falls from the sky, it will be really bad, we must guard against it. "

Meng Huo:

You are from Jingzhou, tell me the legend of Nanzhong, who are you looking down on?

That's going up and down the mountain along the vines. I really haven't heard of anyone who can fly directly from the mountain to the city along the vines.

Although the street pavilion is built against the mountain, the mountain is so high that even a fool can see it if you walk down any vines from the mountain.

Not to mention such a cold day, climbing down this way is estimated to be frozen to death

Are you dreaming?

"It's better to believe what you have than to believe what you don't have. There are many capable and different people in the bandit army.

The prince has high hopes for this battle, even if it is a legend, I have to be careful. "

Meng Huo couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

I'm talking nonsense, and I actually caused myself such a big trouble,

It's going to snow soon, it's freezing and snowy, let my brother and I climb the ice and lie on the snow on the mountain, does this mean that Ma Di heard that I was yin and yang to him, deliberately avenging personal revenge?

What military god, you wait for me, I will kill you after the battle!

Many years later, Meng Huo, who has become the commander of the Wudang Flying Army, detailed in his published memoirs how he became a loyal minister and good general of the big man through continuous learning and little progress under the tent of General Ma Su.

When mentioning Ma Di, Meng Huo always looked solemn, praising him as the real military god,

The second in the world is well-deserved.

Chapter 302

Hearing that the Han army came out of Qishan Mountain to attack Tianshui, Cao Zhen, who was sitting in Chang'an, showed a trace of worry on his face.

Although this method of tactics did not exceed his expectations, Liu Chan's strikes were quick and ruthless, which hit Cao Zhen's vital point, making it difficult for him to counterattack too violently for a while.

His main force was completely held back by Zhao Yun in Wuzhangyuan,

If he doesn't gather troops to defend, Zhao Yun may cross the river and attack Chang'an's gateway Mei County at any time.

But if there is heavy defense, Longyou will be completely cut off, and Cao Wei will lose contact with Liangzhou.

This made Cao Zhen very entangled.

Guo Huai's troops were few, and even in Shanggui, he was powerless to control the overall situation.

Gao Gang from Qishan and You Chu from Longxi couldn't hold on for too long.

He set his sights on Jieting, which is the key to victory.

Cao Zhen also heard the story of the battle between She and Kaihuo, and knew that the northwest wolf Kaihuo was easily defeated by Emperor Guangwu because he lost the Jieting.

He could only pray that Liu Chan was young and didn't notice this key position.

However, thinking about it, Liu Chan would not be so stupid.

"Ma Chao from Xiliang, Ding Feng from Jiangdong, Wang Ping the barbarian, and... Ma Di, the military god!"

Liu Chan's troops are so luxurious, and this is not counting the trilogy of Zhenbei General Wei Yan, the mysterious Haotian Army of Jufu, and Meng Yan's Hubu Battalion.

How did he get so many talented people?

What a headache.

Cao Wei can bear the loss of Xiangyang and Xinye, but it is difficult to bear the loss of Longyou.

If Longyou is lost, it means that the Han army has another suitable channel for dispatching troops besides Jingzhou.

And if Longyou is gone, they will lose contact with Liangzhou,

That piece of land was inherently restless, and once they learned about it, they would definitely jump back immediately, and it would take a lot of effort to get it back.

Furthermore...

Now the biggest, even the only advantage that the Wei army has over the Han army is the horse.

As we all know, Yongliang is rich in fine horses,

If Liu Chan armed a cavalry, the consequences would be disastrous.

They have no shortage of good cavalry officers...

Cao Zhen hesitated for a long time, and finally made up his mind.

"Junyi, how about you lead an army of [-] to break the siege of Longyou?"

Zhang He nodded solemnly:

"It's just what I want, but the general is here..."

Although Cao Zhen has an army of [-], but Zhang He wants to attack thousands of miles, and it is estimated that all the cavalry will be taken away this time.

In case Qi Shan is also a suspicious soldier along the way, Cao Zhen really doesn't have much reserve team.

Cao Zhen gritted his teeth and sneered:

"With me here, Jun Yi can rest assured,

I sit here and regard Zhao Yun as a chicken and a dog! "

Zhang He is also a veteran general. Seeing that Cao Zhen is so confident, he no longer persuades him.

He hurriedly gathered his troops and was just about to attack when someone suddenly reported that the imperial court had sent someone.

"Zhongda, why are you here?" Hearing that Sima Yi was coming, Cao Zhen rushed out to greet him, holding the old friend's hands in surprise.

Sima Yi, who was born in a family of generals, is proficient in military strategy and good at planning. He is a resourceful man that every general likes.

With him coming, Cao Zhenxin felt a little more confident,

But when he saw Sima Yi's face clearly, he couldn't help being surprised.

This resourceful man who had always been far-sighted and calm, had a sullen look on his face, his expression was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was not half as handsome as before.

"What happened?"

With a hoarse voice, Sima Yi said with difficulty:

"A major event happened. The Shu army conquered Xinye, Niu Yuanfeng committed suicide, and Ye Wanghou... Ye Wanghou was captured by Zhang Fei!"

The wild prince is Cao Hong.

When Cao Zhen heard the words, he felt dizzy for a while, but fortunately, Dai Ling quickly helped him up, so that he didn't faint directly on the ground.

"Here, what's going on?"

The Battle of Xinye was carefully planned by Chen Qun and Sima Yi, Cao Hong knew this very well.

Even if the Han army breaks through Xinye, even if Niu Jin is unfavorable in breaking through, the most losses will be this.

But how...

Even the wild princes were arrested?

Niu Jin's plan had been very well planned.

The dead soldiers in the city acted according to the plan, and only the important figures of the Han army would set fire after entering the city.

If it is only some insignificant pioneers who enter the city, they will stand still first.

But that day, it was Liu Feng who took the lead in entering the city!

This is the big fish of the big fish.

Liu Feng is Liu Bei's adoptive son with a very high status.

As soon as he entered the city, he showed his banner for fear that others would not know, and sent people to control the granary and treasury in the city, and camped in the city for the night.

Han Yu, the leader of the dead soldiers, was overjoyed.
