Hezhou, Nanxiang County.
It has been raining for seven or eight days in a row.
Ma Yaohan was so depressed that mushrooms sprouted from his head.
Since the last time they decided to ambush Hezhou's troops in the woods, everyone in Shaanzhou had been hiding in the mountains and forests for three or four days.
It wasn't until the stench in the forest was overwhelming that I couldn't stand it anymore, and finally I had to give up the ambush.
And now, they still haven't seen the shadow of the Hezhou people.
during this time.
Ma Yaohan used all kinds of tricks.
He was nakedly provocative by the river, scolding him as cowardly as a rat, but there was no response from the other side.
They marched separately and attacked from other directions. They pushed a catapult from the other side and appeared leisurely on the other side of the river.
He pretended to surrender, and no one on the other side even answered him.
…
In short, the people in Shaanzhou were looking for trouble while looking for trouble, while they were sitting on the Diaoyutai opposite, unmoved.
Ma Yaohan was depressed.
The Chinese military tent.
"The emperor gave us one month to take over Sanhe County!"
"Ten days have passed now. Let alone Sanhe County, we haven't even crossed this river!"
"The Emperor has just ascended the throne. If we can capture Sanhe County, it will definitely be a great achievement. From me to you, everyone will be promoted to a higher position!"
"But if I can't get it off, my head will be in danger!"
Ma Yaohan walked back and forth in front, sweat dripping from his forehead.
Many people below were sitting with their heads down, saying nothing.
"You're all talking!"
"I tell you, if my head is chopped off, don't even think about running away! I'll chop them all off for you one by one!"
Ma Yaohan looked at his group of staff and cursed angrily.
originally.
Before, I felt that what Liu Wen said was very reasonable, so I personally led my troops to ambush in the woods for so many days.
I almost got eaten by a mosquito!
Not even the root hair of the people and horses in Hezhou!
But I still believed it at first!
Now at this critical moment of life and death, everyone still has no idea. Ma Yaohan really feels like he has raised a bunch of trash.
The people below look at me and I look at you, they are all helpless.
All the tricks that can be used have been used before, but who knew that the opponent would not cooperate at all.
Now these hundreds of thousands of people are trapped here.
In fact, they had a chance before.
You can't get through here from the front, so you can just take a detour. After all, the rivers in other places are not so wide and the rivers are not so fast.
But the problem is, Ma Yaohan disagrees!
When the three stupid supervisors were here before, they didn't agree. They thought that the retreat was a waste of Ma Yaohan, and it was even more damaging to morale!
One hundred thousand people could not even cross a small river.
Then why fight? !
When these counselors mentioned it to Ma Yaohan before, even if Ma Yaohan had ideas, he had to worry about the intentions of the three supervisors and kept thinking of various ways.
And since these three supervisors were accidentally killed by Wu Dayong and the others.
Ma Yaohan was not happy either.
After all, the current situation is that he already knows that the person opposite is a small military prince in Heyang County.
I was a state animal husbandry before!
And he is a general who has led troops in battles and made great achievements!
The difference between Wu Dayong's level and his own is who knows how many levels.
If he was blocked by a military commander and had to attack in a detour, Ma Yaohan's face would be really humiliated.
more importantly.
Now even if you want to take a detour, you can't.
Cao Kang's men and horses attacked from the west, and Wen Fuli's men and horses attacked from the east.
Ma Yaohan has no other choice now.
We can only think of ways to deal with these rivers.
But God was not in favor.
It has been raining in recent days.
Not to mention it was raining, but according to the report from the spies, the people from Hezhou on the opposite side were still digging the river while it was raining.
The width of the river is now nearly a quarter wider than before.
I couldn't get through it before, let alone now.
For Wu Dayong.
It's also completely ruined.
The boss said not to take the initiative.
So what are so many people doing idle?
Go dig a river!
Digging a river is difficult when there is no water or rain.
But the current condition of this river is that it basically doesn’t require much effort.
Even if there is no digging, the two banks of the river will gradually extend to both sides under the erosion of the river water. Not to mention, the soil will be directly washed away with a shovel.
The current situation is.
Let alone Ma Yaohan and the others, even if Wu Dayong and the others wanted to pass now, it would be difficult...
The river is dozens of miles deep.
Wu Dayong decided that since he couldn't take the initiative to attack, wouldn't he simply use this river to surround all the people in Shaanzhou?
Trapped them to death!
Faced with Wu Dayong's behavior.
Ma Yaohan and the others stared blankly.
It was not that they had not divided their troops before and crossed the river from other places with narrow rivers. But after they divided their troops and arrived at other places, Wu Dayong and his spies who were ambushing on the other side of the river would immediately go to report the news, and then the catapults would come in great force. .
They divided their troops, and Wu Dayong and the others also divided their troops and vehicles.
Ma Yaohan and the others' speed across the river will never be as fast as Wu Dayong's speed.
After so many times of tossing, the food and grass were almost consumed.
We can only set up camp and maybe find a way to get some food, but if we continue to march, we have to eat real food.
Although Ma Yaohan was able to control all the troops after losing the three supervisory troops, without food and grass, let alone the troops in Shaanzhou, even his previous subordinates were complaining, which made Ma Yaohan anxious. Worried.
Moreover, Cao Kang was not told about the death of these three supervisors. Otherwise, with so many men in his hands, Cao Kang would probably change his commander.
"Sir, I do have a plan..."
At this moment.
It was Liu Wen who stood up.
"If you have something to say, say it, and if you have something to say, let it go!"
"Why are you hesitating?!"
Ma Yaohan was furious when he saw Liu Wen.
"General, colleagues."
"Now we have no way to retreat. If we go forward, it will be impossible to defeat Hezhou in the remaining time. If we retreat, the emperor will kill the general, and the general will kill us."
"In that case, we might as well do the opposite!"
"Now Cao Kang has sent 200,000 troops to attack Hezhou from the west. Xiazhou still has tens of thousands of troops at most."
"We now have hundreds of thousands of troops!"
"Why not take the opportunity to turn around and go back, capture the capital, and support our general as emperor!"
"Anyway, we're going to die anyway, so we might as well give it a try. If we succeed, then we will have glory and wealth in this life!"
Liu Wen said to everyone.
