The Three Kingdoms

If you want to besiege and kill him, you need at least 20 soldiers and horses. Otherwise, even with the same strength, Ma Chao can break out of the encirclement if he loses. Next.

The most important thing is that most of the main forces of the two armies of the Wu army are on the Baitou Mountain battlefield. Now they can't draw so many soldiers and horses in Liangzhou.

"It is because we think it is impossible, I think it is the most likely!"

Sima Yi thought for a while, and with a flash of inspiration, he walked to the desk, picked up a pen and ink, and wrote the names of the nine armies under the Great Wu Dynasty on a piece of white paper one by one: "If Wu Jun wants to surround and kill the Northern Wolf Guards, There must be ambushes that we don't know have already ambushed near the street pavilion!"

"The general suspects that Wu Jun has mobilized an army into Xiliang without telling us?"

When Yang Xiu heard this, his face turned pale in shock.

If that's the case, they're in big trouble.

"It's not doubt, I'm sure!"

Sima Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and then picked up a pen and began to analyze the nine legions on the white paper one by one. He first crossed out the names of the Flying Tiger Legion and the Raging Flame Legion: "When the Battle of Xiliang started, the Kanto side Also pull out soldiers and horses to pretend to attack the Wu army, even if you don't make a real move, since the formation of the two forces is pulled up, it is difficult for the soldiers and horses to fake, so the two legions cannot be mobilized!"

"The blood wolf army and wild lion army in Youzhou and Jizhou are also impossible. If they want to come, they can only come from Bingzhou. Once they come from Bingzhou, Ma Chao must be prepared!"

"The Western Expeditionary Army is in the Western Regions, far water cannot save near fire!"

"The Sea Eagle Legion is a navy, and the combat power to go ashore is insufficient!"

After such a simple analysis, eight out of the nine legions of Great Wu had gone, and only one was left. Sima Yi couldn't help but feel a little heavy when he saw it: "The first main force of the Wu army, the Central Army, is in Xiliang! "

He was also taken aback when he came to this conclusion.

If the facts really conformed to his analysis, not only Ma Chao, but also he would have survived the disaster.

"No way?"

Yang Xiu's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "The Central Army has been in Jinling City, and many spies are watching them. There are more than a dozen soldiers. If 10,000+ soldiers and horses are mobilized, how can we hide it from the ghosts?" The eye of the dead?"

"It's impossible under normal circumstances, but it's not impossible!"

Sima Yi thought for a while, and said: "If it were me, I would choose to break it up into pieces and let them travel day and night. Moreover, Wu Jun has a warship and can go north along the Yangtze River. This will avoid many eyes and ears, and enter Bashu. , don’t worry about it, just go north to Liangzhou, as long as they don’t reveal the battle flag, even if the spies find out, they just think that the main force of the two legions of Bashu and Zhanxiang will not doubt the Central Army, hide it from the sky, and then give us a ruthless punishment one strike!"

"Then we..."

Yang Xiu's face couldn't help turning pale.

"I asked you to send out the scouts from Jieting, did you send them out?" Sima Yi asked suddenly.

All of this is just his guess, and he has to verify it.

Jieting battlefield is the best verification.

"I've already sent it out!"

Yang Xiu took a deep breath, calmed down, and said in a deep voice, "But if you want to respond, I'm afraid it will take at least a day and a night!"

"How about Cao Zhang's department in Long County?" Sima Yi asked again.

"This..." Yang Xiu hesitated.

"Say!" Sima Yi suddenly felt uneasy and shouted loudly.

"Report to General, as early as three days ago, His Royal Highness King Peng had actually led his troops north to Jieting, and joined hands with the Northern Wolf Guards in the north to surround and kill the Ninth Army of Wu Army!" Yang Xiudao.

"Damn it, didn't my previous military order tell him to lead the troops to defend Long County?"

When Sima Yi heard this, a cold light flickered across his eyes.

Now the situation has changed drastically, and many situations have exceeded his expectations. Even the offensive and defensive positions have been changed. His soldiers and horses are already half surrounded by Wu Jun. If Long County is taken by Wu Jun, then he will really Those who are about to be caught in the urn.

"General, I'm sorry, I miscalculated. His Royal Highness Peng Wang is young and energetic, how could they guard Long County safely!" Yang Xiu sighed: "I didn't care much when I knew it before. Long County is very important to us. It’s optional, but I didn’t expect it to be our only way of survival!”

"Sima Kui!"

Sima Yi jumped up against the table, facing the outside of the camp gate, and shouted loudly.

"exist!"

When Sima Kui was besieged and killed Chen Dao, he was also injured, but he was fine, and he was still in good spirits. He strode in and stood by with his hands folded.

"You immediately lead eight thousand cavalry and rush to Long County without stopping!"

Sima Yi thought for a while: "If you encounter Wu Jun, don't love to fight, back immediately!"

"promise!"

Sima Kui nodded and took the order to go. He led [-] cavalry to Zhangjia Town immediately, and headed towards Long County without stopping.

"General, what if Long County is captured by Wu Jun?" Yang Xiu worried.

"Then there is only one way left!"

Sima Yi's eyes were cold and determined: "Go to the north, go to the street pavilion, join Ma Chao, with our soldiers and horses plus Ma Chao's soldiers and horses, even if the Wu army is overwhelming, we can put them to death and survive!"

He still has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and Ma Chao has [-] elite soldiers.

Night falls.

Long County.

This small-scale county town was first stationed by the Wu army and formed an encirclement circle. Later, Chen Dao gave up and let Cao Zhang take it. After changing hands several times, it finally fell into the hands of the Wu army. Blade Blood led the No.11 Army to enter smoothly.

After the No.11 Army entered Long County, they did not rush north to Jieting, but set up camp on the spot.

"Is there any battle report from the west?"

Zhuge Liang sat in the big camp, followed the light of the oil lamp, looked at the battle reports in his hands, and asked slightly worried.

"not yet!"

It was Jiang Qin, the commander of the No.11 Army, who answered his question: "However, we found traces of the Wei Army not far from Zhangjia Town to the west. If this is the main force of the Wei Army, it means that they have withdrawn from Mount Baitou. , but there is no news about the outcome of the Battle of Mount Paektu!"

"Let Jin Yiwei step up contact, I want to know the battle situation of Baitou Mountain as soon as possible!"

"Yes!"

"Then how is the battle in the north?" Zhuge Liang continued to ask.

In the battle at Jieting, the Ninth Army was under too much pressure, and he was a little afraid that the Ninth Army would not be able to handle it.

"Commander, Jin Yiwei just received news from Jieting that although Ma Chao forced our Ninth Army to retreat into Longshan, he was also attacked from behind by Pang Tong's troops, causing many casualties!" Jiang Qin replied.
