Chapter 627: Night Attacks

"What's going on? Is Ma Su confident enough to lead tens of thousands of people to attack the battlefield?"

Seeing the Wei army's emergency call on the north bank of Baimadu, Sima Yi frowned.

Sima Yi is already seventy years old this year, and Ma Su is considered a junior in front of him. But it is such a junior who makes him suffer losses repeatedly.

Every time Sima Yi feels that he has seen through Ma Su, he always gives himself a new surprise.

Now, Ma Su dares to cross the river to fight under the blockade of tens of thousands of Wei troops. If this continues, Sima Yi doubts whether he will attack Liaodong directly from the sea...

"General, the Shu army has now crossed the river with more than 10,000 troops. Its chief general Ma Su is personally in front of the battle. If this continues, the Shu army is afraid that the entire army will press into Hebei!"

The most nervous person now is none other than Xiahou Xuan. Because the troops that are confronting the Shu army head-on at Baimadu are his people, and if a fight breaks out, he will suffer the most.

"Don't be nervous! Ma Su, the little boy, ignored the logistics and food supply and insisted on coming to die. Is he afraid of us?" Sima Yi said in a deep voice, his face as confident as ever about the future.

"Hold your ground, I have been prepared for this. Just be patient and watch, within a month, Ma Su will be defeated!"

However, this time Sima Yi's tough strategy was useless. Cao Yu, Xiahou Xuan and others didn't buy his tricks at all, and they were still highly nervous and cowardly.

In the final analysis, everyone knows what level you Sima Yi is, as you can lose from Liangzhou to Hebei. Although you are the best fighter in Wei now, no one will have any confidence in you when facing Ma Su.

This situation made Sima Yi a little embarrassed, but as an old artist, he could still keep his mentality. After a silence, Sima Yi immediately adjusted his deployment.

Because the current Wei army is no longer the Guanzhong army of the past, and the degree of organization is even more ridiculously low. Sima Yi also had to go to the north bank of Baimajin to take charge and personally deploy the troops.

As for Xiahou Xuan, he went with Sima Yi to guard Baimajin together.

Cao Yu accelerated his march southward, rushed to Yanzhou quickly, and threatened the logistics of the Shu army from the flank. Only by delaying the logistics of the Han army could they have a chance to take a breather for a certain period of time.

It can be said that Sima Yi's deployment was still effective. When the general flag of "Wei Taiwei Nanpi Hou Sima" entered the Wei army camp, the Wei army quickly settled down.

Then, with a series of documents from Sima Yi, the morale of the Wei army was basically stabilized in just two days. If he was given a little more time, he would really have a chance to completely seal off Baimadu.

But... Sima Yi came to the front line, and it was not only the Wei army that felt at ease.

Late at night on the third day, it was dark and windy, and Mr. Sima Yi had not slept yet, and he heard a commotion outside the camp. Then there was a fire at the camp gate, and the sound of horse hooves and fighting came together.

The Han army attacked at night...

"I have only been here for two days, and the Shu army is here to attack at night?" Sima Yi frowned and quickly stood up to fight.

The Wei army had just been calmed down by Sima Yi, but they were in chaos again under the sudden night attack. Before Sima Yi came out, some soldiers were ready to run away.

Fortunately, the Han army's offensive was not fierce this time. Sima Yi rushed out in time and quickly commanded a large force to block the Han army's offensive.

And the most important thing is that Ma Su did not fight this time, so the Wei army could successfully block it. If Ma Su came in person, Sima Yi could only use his trump card to survive.

It can be seen that Ma Su hated him very much. Although there was no reason, this hatred was very specific.

After blocking a night attack by the Han army, Sima Yi did not take it seriously, but just increased his vigilance at night. In his opinion, Ma Su's night attack was probably to test the combat effectiveness of the Hebei army.

Now that the test has been made, the first large-scale battle between the two sides will probably come soon. So Sima Yi ordered all units to rest and be ready for battle at any time.

Then in the middle of the night, Mr. Sima Yi, who had just finished his military duties, heard a commotion outside the camp gate...

"Ma Su, this bastard, is not sleeping, right?" Sima Yi got up from the bed with a curse, and once again went to the battlefield to command the enemy.

This time Ma Su did not show up again, so the Han army was still repelled without any danger. However, after two consecutive night attacks, the Wei army had been mentally depressed.

Sima Yi still did not express anything about this, but he had basically understood Ma Su's calculations in his heart.

"Captain! The Han army has been harassing at night like this, don't we try to fight back?" Xiahou Xuan was also unable to sleep because of the noise, and couldn't help but come to ask Sima Yi.

"Then you go to fight back, remember to write a suicide note before you leave." Sima Yi was a little speechless. It was you who was scared to death of Ma Su before, and now it is you who wants to fight back against the Han army.

After being told this by Sima Yi, Xiahou Xuan did not dare to speak.

In the final analysis, the Shu army dared to launch such a night attack so openly, just to bully you for not daring to fight. When you cannot defeat them head-on, the initiative on the battlefield has been lost.

"In short, don't be too nervous. After the camp is stable and the trenches and antlers are ready within half a month, we don't have to worry about the counterattack of the Shu army." Sima Yi shook his head and spoke to Xiahou Xuan to comfort him.

"But General Xiahou needs to be more careful these days. Ma Su is cunning. If he catches a loophole, it will be troublesome."

"Understood." Xiahou Xuan nodded and answered subconsciously. But he soon reacted and asked hurriedly,

"What about you, Taiwei?"

"I will go to the rear army to support you and guard against the Shu army's sneak attack on our food supply." Sima Yi said slowly.

Xiahou Xuan: "Ah? Me?"

So you mean... let me take full responsibility for confronting Ma Su head-on?

"Ma ​​Su's frequent night attacks are mainly harassment, not fatal. It's a good opportunity to train the troops and prepare for the subsequent decisive battle." Sima Yi nodded and said in an unquestionable tone.

"I will go to the rear army to support you and guard against the Shu army's sneak attack from behind. Even if you are defeated by the Shu army's night attack, I can stabilize the situation!"

"Just do it, I will be your backup!"

After saying that, Sima Yi and his personal guards went to the rear to sleep, leaving Xiahou Xuan with a messy face.

In the following days, the Han army must come to attack every night. The Wei army had to be on guard day and night, fearing that any negligence would allow the Shu army to kill in.

For a time, the soldiers in the front camp of the Wei army complained a lot and their morale was very low. Fortunately, Xiahou Xuan arrived in time every time and led his troops to resist.

For a time, the two sides seemed to have maintained a delicate balance, and a long-term confrontation might have been formed.

But, is it really like this?
