The Three Kingdoms

Sima Yi said resolutely: "Wu Jun is commanding the middle battalion, so he must be here!"

"It is indeed a very secret place!"

Ju Shou glanced across a flash of light, and said: "If it weren't for the initiative of their main force to attack and reveal a trace of their whereabouts, I am afraid no one would have thought of this!"

"It's less than [-] miles away from us, and we can go there in a day!"

Ma Chao's eyes were as sharp as the blade of a knife.

"But now that the main force of the Wei army is entangled with us, how can we get out?"

Zhang Lu asked in a low voice.

"Breakthrough tomorrow!"

Sima Yi said: "I have already planned it. General Pang De will add you to replace General Ma Chao. With [-] elite troops, take the initiative to attack, lure the main force of the Wu army, and withdraw to the west!"

"No!"

Ma Chao shouted: "This is the way to die!"

"If you want to turn defeat into victory, you must sacrifice!"

Sima Yi's face was cold, cruel and ruthless, and he said very straightforwardly: "This battle is already a matter of life and death. If we can't sacrifice some soldiers to lure the main force of the Wu army to the west, we will only be consumed to death here. In today's situation, even if If we want to withdraw our troops, I am afraid that the Wei River has already been blocked by the Wu army, and we will not be able to escape!"

"Then I'll go!"

Ma Chao drank a lot.

"Brother, let me go!"

Pound opened his eyes with his eyes closed, raised his head slightly, smiled, and said, "I am not as good as you when it comes to attacking, and you are not as good as me when it comes to escaping. I can kill it!"

"But?"

"Brother, don't talk too much!"

Pound's voice was shaky and firm: "Now we are fighting with our backs. If we fail, we will be benevolent. So many people are watching us. Even if there is a chance of winning, we must fight with great strength. Anyone can die in battle. But this battle must be won!"

"Must win!"

Ma Chao gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, and he became ruthless.

"Zhang Lu!"

"exist!"

"Tomorrow you will lead a force of [-] troops to break through to the east and go straight down to the southeast. It is Xieyuguan. This is a mountain pass, suitable for storing grain. According to the arrangement of the Wu army these days, this place must be a granary!"

"granary?"

The generals' eyes lit up, and Zhang Lu quickly asked, "General Sima, are you sure?"

"pretty close!"

Sima Yi looked at the gossip-shaped army array arranged by Wu Jun. If it was him, he would also put the grain and grass in the earthquake position. This is the place connecting the inclined valley road.

"Okay!" Zhang Lu gritted his teeth and nodded.

Sima Yi dropped the pen in his hand, his expression became decisive, and he said: "We will fight here whether we live or die. For tomorrow's battle, all soldiers will prepare dry food for three days, give up all their luggage, and fight lightly. If you fail, you will be benevolent." !"

"Yes!"

All the generals put aside other thoughts, this battle has reached this point, they are all red-eyed, and all of them only have a fight to the death in their hearts.

Sima Yi continued to arrange: "Take a good rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, send troops at [-]:[-]. It is a bait, whether we can successfully lure the main force of the Wu army, and after we disperse their forces, we can concentrate the main force and rush out directly. We are not allowed to fight, and we are not allowed to stop and stop, and we can surprise the gourd mouth. Whether we can succeed or not depends on luck. It’s gone.” (To be continued.)

gourd mouth.

In a small tent, Zhuge Liang opened his eyes, got up from the camp bed in one breath, washed his face, took a few mouthfuls of dry food, then straightened his robes and walked into the middle camp command tent .

In the spacious commanding tent of the Chinese army, the footsteps of the staff officers and soldiers were disturbed, the heads were rushing, and the voices were noisy.

"commander!"

"Commander Zhuge!"

As soon as the staff officers saw Zhuge Liang walking in, they immediately straightened up and looked at him.

"You continue to deduce, don't worry about this commander!"

Zhuge Liang sat down and rubbed his temples on both sides of his head with his hands to relieve his tired feeling.

"Commander Zhuge, you only rested for two hours, why don't you rest for a while, you have been jumping hard these days, if you don't relax, you will hurt your body!" Xu Shu came up and persuaded with a smile.

Zhuge Liang racked his brains these days, constantly deducing the situation of the battle, but he was still a little bit unsure, so he was worried and mentally exhausted.

"I can't sleep even when I'm lying down!"

Zhuge Liang raised his head, looked at Xu Shu, and asked directly: "Is there no news from Ju Yi and Pang Tong?"

"They are still fighting Wei Jun!"

Xu Shu stood up and began to report: "The Wei army has shrunk its troops, reduced the battle formation of the three talents of heaven, earth and man, and made the defense stronger, not even a single gap was exposed. Now that the bloody battle has been going on for almost three days, they still seem to want to stick to it. Wait, if this is the case, I am afraid that we will not be able to hold on first, then we must dispatch the main force to the north to expose the strategy!"

"What about our casualties?"

"Ju Yi is alright, but Ke Bineng and Midang suffered a lot of casualties!"

Xu Shu smiled wryly: "This battle was fought fiercely. It took three days of bloody battle. Whether we were defeated or they were defeated, we tried our best to fight this battle. So far, our soldiers have suffered more than [-] casualties, and their casualties have also exceeded [-]." Mainly, Ma Chao Pound and the others are too stubborn, and I don’t know what beliefs are supporting them. Obviously, the Wei Dynasty has already sunk into the sky, and their defeat is imminent. They would rather hang themselves with such a dead tree than surrender. , and still fight to the death, if ready to spend so much time, I'm afraid it's going to cost a hundred thousand sons' lives just to win them!"

In the previous battle at Jieting, Xu Shu still felt that Zhuge Liang was too demanding for success in this battle, so it led to failure.

As the saying goes, on the battlefield, sacrifices are inevitable. In a battle, regardless of success or failure, there is no reason not to suffer casualties, it just depends on whether the injury is worth it.

But when Xu Shu saw the casualty data sent back with his own eyes, he suddenly realized that casualties on the battlefield are indeed inevitable, but they can be reduced. It is worth the risk to exchange the smallest casualties for the greatest victory.

"This battle won't last forever like this!"

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "We can be injured, but Wei Jun and the others can't afford it. If the entire army is wiped out in exchange for our army's vitality, Sima Yi is not so stupid, so he will definitely find another shortcut. I guess he will soon. There is action!"

"But now they still don't have any reaction. They resist tenaciously and fight endlessly. I can't help but want to pull the real main force to fight!"

Xu Shu said in a deep voice: "Our main army is not moving, but we are going to consume the sons and daughters of two foreign soldiers. Both the Xianbei army and Huangzhong Yicong have suffered a lot of casualties. I am afraid that Ke Bineng and Midang are a little bit different. Complaints, is this okay? Will it backfire and make them complain to our court?"

"It's okay, this commander is going to test their bottom line against the imperial court now!"
