Chapter 626 Arriving in Hebei
"Kill!!"
Ma Su led the cavalry to launch a counter-charge and successfully killed under the general flag of the Wei army. Facing Ma Su's sudden advance, the Wei army was also unable to stop it, and the scattered battle line was forcibly penetrated by the Han army.
However, after cutting down the general flag of the Wei army, Ma Su failed to find the enemy's general. Except for a few unridden horses and the Wei soldiers who were cut and killed, Ma Su did not find the enemy's main general at all.
"Where is the man! Where is the general guarding Baimajin of the pseudo-Wei? Didn't you see him just now?" Ma Su frowned and turned to look at Ma Zhong and questioned.
"I don't know..." Ma Zhong spread his hands and replied helplessly,
"Just now, the rain was too heavy, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"It's not a good thing to just cut off the general flag and let the enemy's main general run away!" Ma Su couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Now the Han army is at the end of its strength and is about to fail. If the enemy's main general escapes, no matter how good he is at fighting, he will probably fall here.
Ten thousand cavalrymen, after paying such a huge loss, can't fail to get a way out!
Just when Ma Su was ready to fight for the last time and look for the missing enemy, several Wei soldiers who raised their hands to surrender suddenly spoke.
"Han general, our main general... is under your horse's hoof."
"Under the horse's hoof?" Ma Su was stunned and looked down subconsciously. Sure enough, he saw a corpse that had been trampled beyond recognition by the horse's hoof lying in the mud.
And even in the heavy rain, Ma Su could see the unwilling eyes of the enemy.
It was really too shameful to die. With a great advantage on his side, Ma Su turned the tables. If he had kept his footing and honestly defended Baimajin, Ma Su would have suffered the biggest defeat in history.
I can only say that people are emotional after all...
"Tsk... It's really outrageous that a great general of the pseudo-Wei died so miserably." Ma Su suddenly laughed. After confirming that the Wei army's flag had fallen and the commander had been killed, he relaxed all of a sudden.
This battle has been won.
Then, just as Ma Su relaxed, he suddenly felt dizzy. It seemed that all the strength in his body was taken away at once, causing Ma Su to fall headfirst!
"General!"
"Envoy!"
"General Shenwei!"
Ma Su suddenly fell off his horse, which immediately panicked the guards around him. Ma Su's guards immediately jumped off their horses and quickly helped Ma Su up from the mud.
Then, the guard gently checked Ma Su's breath and his face suddenly changed.
"What's wrong with the general?" Ma Zhong saw his face and his heart sank.
At the age of the general, plus the hidden injuries all over his body, his body was not as good as before. Now, a surprise attack of 300 miles plus a hard fight, wouldn't it let the general...
"General Shenwei he...he..." The personal soldier was shivering because of the heavy rain, and his voice trembled.
"What's wrong with him? Is he still breathing?"
"He fell asleep."
Ma Zhong: "..."
You TM panted when you spoke, you almost scared me to death, you know!

With Linghu Yu being killed and the general's flag being cut down, the morale of the Wei army collapsed. Thousands of Wei soldiers scattered in the heavy rain, but were soon caught up and killed by the Han cavalry.
To be honest, Linghu Yu was completely defeated in this battle. Given the state of the Han army, they were unable to even chase and kill the fleeing soldiers, and some soldiers even died on the spot.
If Linghu Yu had held on to the camp, he would not have been defeated so badly, and he might even have turned defeat into victory.
But there is no if, Baimajin was eventually conquered by the Han army, and this gate to Hebei was taken down by Ma Su.
After taking Baimazin, almost all the Han army fell down. If Jiang Wei hadn't arrived in time, the Han army might not even be able to take care of the prisoners.
As for Ma Su, he slept for three days and three nights before he barely woke up.
During this period, Cao Jia also rushed to Cangting and reported to Sima Yi the news of the fall of Baimazin. This news shocked Sima Yi, and he immediately sent Cao Yu, the Central Guard Army, to the south to help Baimazin.
But it was too late. When they arrived, the vanguard of the Han army had already crossed the Yellow River. Thousands of Han soldiers set up camp on the north bank of the ferry, and the Baima ferry could no longer be blocked.
After receiving this news, the Wei army was in a panic. Especially the generals in Guandong, after hearing that Ma Su had the ability to land in Hebei, they were all in chaos.
In fact, the most feared Ma Su was not the defeated generals in Guanxi. After all, they had really fought against Ma Su, and they were more cautious when they faced him again.
But the generals in Guandong were different. They had no idea of Ma Su's true level. They only knew that this terrifying thing had penetrated the northwest defense line of Wei in eight years.
In addition, the Central Plains war zone had been peaceful for a long time since the founding of Cao Wei, and the generals were all fakes with mixed qualifications. This led to the fact that when Ma Su really came to kill, Cao Yu and Xiahou Xuan were the most afraid.
"General! Quickly withdraw the troops from Yanzhou and block the army at Baimadu!" Cao Yu took the lead in proposing to Sima Yi, and he was going to give up an entire state as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Just give up Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and withdraw the main force back to Hebei."
"That's right, if Ma Su is allowed to enter Hebei, our Wei will be in danger!" Xiahou Xuan also nodded, and also suggested that Sima Yi withdraw his troops and retreat to Hebei.
However, their suggestions were simply rejected by Sima Yi.
"The greater the threat Ma Di poses to Hebei, the less Yanzhou can be lost!" Sima Yi narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
"Pass my order. Cao Yu will continue to lead troops to reinforce Yanzhou. Xiahou Xuan will follow me to attack Baima Ferry and find a way to trip Ma Su."
Sima Yi knew very well that the Shu army's target from the beginning of the attack has always been the entire territory of Yanzhou. Now Ma Su's cavalry raided Baima Crossing, just to provide cover for the attack on Yanzhou.
At present, the territory east of Pu River is still in the hands of our army, and the logistics of the Shu army are extremely unstable. If Ma Su goes to fight now, he will simply die.
On the contrary, if the entire territory of Yanzhou is lost, the main force of the Shu army can press to the bank of the Yellow River without any scruples. There are more than just Baima Ferry crossings on the Yellow River, so there will always be omissions.
Therefore, the best way at the moment is to hold back Ma Su, and then continue to support Yanzhou until the main force in Huainan withdraws. end.
Sima Yi planned very well, relying on his many years of strategy to keep Ma Di as secure as possible this time.
However, he still overestimated the current combat quality of the Wei army, and also underestimated Ma Su's determination.
Before he could make any arrangements, the Wei army on the north bank of Baimajin was in panic.
The Han army went north!
