Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

The Han army went out of Guanzhong and made smooth progress in just half a month.

In the north, Deng Ai and Wu Ban joined forces to defeat the Wei army in Beimang Mountain. At the same time, Zhang Yi led his troops to break through Mengjin Pass, and the army even went around to the northeast of Luoyang.

In the south, Shu Ji sent troops to attack Yique Pass, while Jiang Wei led his troops to the east to attack Dagu Pass. In a very short time, Luoyang was in chaos, and emergency letters from all over the country floated to Luoyang like snowflakes.

There was no way. Cao Wei had lost more than half of its elite soldiers in the previous few years because of a certain Ma who did not want to reveal his name. Now it has been drawing soldiers to join the army for training, and it is in a period of transition.

On the other hand, after more than ten years of fighting and military reform, the remaining Han army is veterans of hundreds of battles. The gap in combat power between the two sides has widened, which Jiang Ji did not expect at all.

Jiang Ji looked around and saw that the entire Sizhou was in flames of war. On the contrary, Luoyang, the key location of the war he identified, was peaceful at this time.

Jiang Ji was so confused...

"Why doesn't Ma Su fight according to the normal routine? I have been preparing for so long in Luoyang, and it was all in vain!"

Jiang Ji looked at Ma Su's eye-catching flag outside the city and gnashed his teeth in hatred. But no matter how much he hated Ma Su, he still had no way to do it.

He was the defender, and he was at a disadvantage, and he had little freedom at all. If Ma Su did not follow his established plan, he would be led by the Shu army.

"No, I can't be bound by the past thinking. Fighting with Ma Su cannot be judged by common sense... Let me think about it, what would I do if I were Ma Su?" Jiang Ji rubbed his temples, took a long breath, and put his eyes on the map again.

Although the pressure was huge, Jiang Ji still planned to hold on as much as possible. After all, their family was too deeply bound to Cao Wei, and there was no way to get out of the boat, so they could only fight to the death.

So, Jiang Ji began to think, what would he do if he were Ma Su.

"Judging from the current situation, Ma Su should be planning to launch an offensive from the north and south, bypassing Luoyang and encircling Sizhou."

"Based on this strategy, if I were Ma Su, I would definitely find a way to cut off the supply line of Wei... supply line?"

Thinking of this, Jiang Ji's eyes suddenly stagnated, and his face suddenly changed. Then his eyes were fixed on the road from Luoyang to Hulao Pass!

"Fuck!"

Obviously, Jiang Ji's reaction was not slow, but perhaps it was too late.

At the same time he reacted, Ma Su had already led all 2,000 selected vanguards, quietly bypassed Luoyang, and headed straight to the east of Luoyang.

There, there was a manor fortress built by a local big family. This fortress was what Ma Su saw when he visited Luoyang three years ago, and it was still there three years later.

The only difference is that this place was the property of Situ Gaorou's family before, but now it has become the state-owned property of Cao Wei. The guards on the top of the city changed from the private soldiers of the wealthy families to the soldiers of Cao Wei.

This place is just next to the highway from Hulao Pass to Luoyang, and it is surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is a good stronghold. Ma Su's goal this time is here.

He wants to use this as a stronghold and become a nail in the lifeline of Cao Wei. Let all the Wei troops on the Luoyang front lose blood and die, and finally retreat on his own initiative.

Two thousand elite soldiers took advantage of the night to touch the vicinity of this family fortress, and used short crossbows to kill the Wei soldiers on the dock fortress. Then the vanguard soldiers bit the blade in their mouths, pulled up the nearly six-meter dock fortress with their bare hands, and quickly controlled the top of the city.

In just half an hour, such a wealthy family dock fortress was quickly occupied.

After controlling the dock fortress, Ma Su immediately divided his troops and began to destroy the nearby highway on the spot. Not only did he destroy the ruts, but Ma Su also built a lot of deer horns and placed them everywhere, with the main purpose of disgusting you.

Because Ma Su had explored the traffic in Luoyang three years ago, there was only one intact road from Hulao Pass to Luoyang. The other roads were small roads, which were fine in the peaceful years, but now once a war breaks out, only this road can sustain the needs of the army.

So as long as Ma Su is here, Cao Wei's logistics will never be smooth.

However, although Ma Su was quick, Jiang Ji's reaction speed was not slow. Not long after Ma Su captured the fort, Cao Wei's encirclement army had arrived.

Jiang Ji personally led 20,000 Wei troops to rush to the rescue and surrounded the fort. For this reason, Ma Su could only retreat to the interior first, giving priority to self-protection.

Although it is not impossible to fight 2,000 against 20,000, it is not necessary. Anyway, as long as you stay here for a long time, the more troops you have on the front line, the greater the pressure will be.

Jiang Ji also understood this truth, so after seeing Ma Su occupy this place, his face was as ugly as if he had eaten a olege.

"Ma Su, Ma Su, you really know how to seize the opportunity!" Jiang Ji gritted his teeth in anger. If he could not beat him, he really planned to personally take up his gun and mount his horse to stand against Ma Su.

But that was impossible. Although Ma Su's strength has declined in the past two years, he is not comparable to him as a civil servant.

After all, there is still a little gap between civil servants...

"Sima, are we going to attack the city?" The general next to him asked at this moment, and he did not look so nervous.

"The other side has only about a thousand people, and they only occupy a small fort. We might as well just attack directly..."

"Attack by force! Have you ever seen Ma Su lose a battle to defend a city? Do we have as many troops as Wang Ling in Runan?" Jiang Ji rolled his eyes, still quite rational, and waved his hand directly.

"A strong attack is definitely out of the question. If Ma Su dares to defend here, he must be prepared to hold on."

"Rather than following Ma Di's lead, we should find another way!"

"Find another way?"

"That's right." Jiang Ji seemed to have completely calmed down at this time, took out the map and pondered for a while.

"Since Ma Su chose to stick to it, it means that his troops are not good at mobile warfare. In other words, his logistical harassment of us is limited to the vicinity of this Wubao..."

"Pass my order to recruit all the nearby farmers and build a temporary road to bypass this fort!"

Isn’t it just a nail? If I can’t hit you, why can’t I hide from you? Since I don't have the ability to pull out your nail, I might as well change your lifeline.

Although the Chi Road is very expensive and cannot be built over long distances, it is still possible to build a short Chi Road to bypass Ma Di's location.

However, the general next to him hesitated for a moment and showed some hesitation about this.

"General, most of the farmers in Sizhou are military camps, and their only service is military service. We have not conscripted them..."

"Is this the time to consider this when the country is about to survive?" Jiang Ji was furious, looked directly at You and roared.

"Now they have to recruit people even if they don't have the power. Otherwise, if the Wei Dynasty falls, they will have no choice but to become refugees!"
