Chapter 632 Huainan Wei Army Wants to Escape!
Ma Su was just like this, thinking about how to solve the problem of the separatist regime of the Guandong gentry, while holding his gun and fighting hard.
Although Ma Su's strength has declined a lot in recent years, as a veteran, his experience in fighting has been engraved into his reflex arc.
Especially when facing the elite soldiers of Guanxi, Ma Su was not afraid. The local soldiers in Guandong who had not seen war for 20 years were naturally not a big threat to Ma Su.
However, as more and more local soldiers and Wei troops gathered, Ma Su was also somewhat overwhelmed. According to his estimation, if the Wei army continued to block like this, he would have to be forced to leave the city.
However, just when Ma Su thought that this siege would fail and was ready to fight to the death, he suddenly heard the sound of the Wei army's retreat!
That's right, the gong suddenly sounded in Linqiu City. Then the regular army of Cao Wei was stunned for a moment, and then began to retreat under the leadership of the officers!
"What's the situation? The Wei army ran away by itself?" Ma Su frowned and felt something was wrong.
The local tyrants in Linqiu City also felt something was wrong. They watched helplessly as the government troops suddenly turned around and left, leaving only their private soldiers who came to help!
"What's going on! Why did the Sima general call for a retreat!"
"Are you trying to lure the enemy in? Why don't we retreat too!"
"What the hell are you doing? Are you stupid? Haven't you figured out that we were sold out by that bastard named Sima!"
Some of the tyrants have seen the problem, and the anger in their eyes is about to burst out.
You old Sima, we, the big families in Yanzhou, have spent all our family resources to support the court. As a result, at this critical moment, you, the current Taiwei, have sold us out!
Although their private soldiers and villagers are not afraid of death in defending their hometown, their combat effectiveness and equipment are very poor. The Cao Wei regular army suddenly withdrew, and these local soldiers were basically left to be slaughtered!
Sima Yi's trick of cutting off the firewood from the bottom of the pot is really good, and the effect is immediate. His own people were pushed to the front, and the pressure on Ma Su's side was reduced sharply.
In just a quarter of an hour, Ma Su directly defeated the local soldiers. The city was quickly captured by the Han army, and a large number of soldiers rushed to the city like a tide.
Since then, Linqiu City, which had been attacked by the Han army for more than ten days, was finally successfully conquered.
The remaining local soldiers retreated to the inner city and tried to resist stubbornly under the gathering of local tyrants. Then they found that Sima Yi ran too easily, and in the blink of an eye he had withdrawn from Linqiu with his army!
This reaction was completely beyond everyone's expectations, including Ma Su, who didn't understand what Sima Yi meant. But Sima Yi did it, regardless of the previous sacrifices, and retreated without hesitation.
"Is Sima Yi so decisive? Or is he now not caring about anything in order to show goodwill to the Han Dynasty?" Ma Su frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong.
But Ma Su couldn't tell exactly what was wrong. However, since Sima Yi took the initiative to withdraw from Linqiu, the remaining local soldiers were naturally not to be feared.
"All troops attack! Take Linqiu City as soon as possible, and make a quick decision!"

Without Sima Yi and the regular army of Cao Wei, Linqiu City was already in the hands of the Han army. Before dusk, the Han army had successfully controlled the entire city.
As for these powerful people who had already shown their knives to him, Ma Su did not show any mercy at all, and ordered them to be killed without hesitation.
At present, he needed to quickly control the occupied counties and prefectures, and he needed to deter them. Especially when dealing with these powerful people, it was useless to be gentle at a critical moment.
After successfully taking Linqiu, Ma Su's initial strategic conception was basically achieved. The hinterland of East Yanzhou was basically completely occupied by the Han army, and the Jiyin front was completely separated from Hebei.
So far, all the troops of the Wei army in the south have been basically divided and surrounded. If the Wei army in Hebei wanted to support them, they had to cross mountains and ridges, bypass Qingzhou and go to Xuzhou to reinforce the Yanzhou front.
At this point in the war, the Wei army basically had no chance of turning the tide. Especially Xiahou Xuan of Baimajin, after hearing that Linqiu had fallen, he directly began to write a memorial to Cao Shuang and suggested to consider surrender.
The prospects of the entire Cao Wei regime were bleak. If it weren't for Ma Su's bad reputation, the Han army could even take over Guandong all the way.
However, after Ma Su led his army to station in Linqiu and cut off Yanzhou's traffic for more than ten days, he received some information that was not quite right.
"Report to the envoy, the Wei army in southern Yanzhou did not become confused because of our surprise attack on Linqiu, but still resisted stubbornly." The person in charge of the Military Council came to Linqiu urgently and reported the situation to Ma Su.
"Even if Ju Tao is now broken by our army, the Wei army still has no signs of retreating."
"How is it possible?" Ma Su felt a little unbelievable about this information.
With Sima Yi's talent, how could he possibly do such a situation of stubbornly resisting in one place? With his personality, it would be normal for him to voluntarily give up the entire Yanzhou.
And now the situation is so abnormal that everyone feels something is wrong.
"This is not right, when did the old thief Sima change his nature?" Ma Su narrowed his eyes, spread out the map again and began to think.
"Logically speaking, anyone who knows a little bit about military tactics would not let his troops continue to resist in Southern Yanzhou surrounded by enemies on three sides. If I were Sima Yi, I should have ordered my troops to retreat to Xuzhou... Wait, Xuzhou!"
Ma Su's eyes suddenly looked towards Xuzhou, then all the way south, and finally locked on Huainan, his face changed instantly.
"No! Send someone to investigate the situation in Huainan! Sima Shi and Guo Huai want to run away!"
Originally, Ma Su did not attack Yuzhou, but marched eastward to conquer Yanzhou in order to stabilize the Wei army in Huainan.
But Ma Su still underestimated the courage of the Wei army, or underestimated his own deterrence. When he marched out of Hulao Pass, Cao Wei was ready to give up the entire Central Plains.
Soon, the Military Council sent back the movement of Huainan. After just one look, Ma Su's face darkened.
After repelling the Wu army for the nth time in Hefei, Sima Shi did not withdraw to Xudu at all, but directly stationed back in Shouchun. At the same time, the Wei army in the entire Huainan was gathering towards Shouchun, and the large forces gathered near the Huai River.
It seems that this is going to attack Dongwu again, but according to the abnormal behavior of the Wei army in Yanzhou, their next plan is already very clear.
"The Wei army in Huainan wants to escape!" Ma Su gritted his teeth and stood up suddenly.
"Quick, send a message to Xiu Ran Bo Yue... Anyway, all the commanders in Guandong should be sent over!"
"No matter what, we must not let the Wei army in Huainan escape!"
