Chapter 636 Power Belongs to the Sima Family

"Kill!!"

"Kill!!"

"Kill!!"

More and more fresh troops with high morale joined the battlefield after resting. For a time, the Han army's shouts of killing shook the sky, and the momentum of the counterattack became more and more fierce.

Under the pressure of the Han army's fierceness, the morale of the Wei army began to fluctuate. Many soldiers and officers who were already cautious had already thought of running away.

Unlike the Hebei army, which had basically never fought against the Shu army, this group of Huainan Wei army was the main force in the Battle of Nanyang. They had more or less experienced Ma Su's power, especially when Ma Su flooded the three armies, which made the whole Huainan tremble with fear at the name of Ma Su.

And now, watching Ma Su's advantage grow bigger and bigger, and the enemy army is getting more and more. And the officers of Huainan were inevitably reminded of some bad things when they were beaten back step by step.

And as time went on, the fear of Ma Su and the hopelessness of the future began to constantly impact the morale of the Wei army. At this time, only a small stimulus was needed, and the Wei army would collapse.

And this excitement came soon.

"All the soldiers are here! It's time for us to counterattack!" Ma Su saw that the 3,000 Han troops were all ready, so he made a prompt decision.

"Launch a counterattack! Kill through the Wei army's defense line and capture Guo Huai alive!"

After that, Ma Su rushed out with the general's flag. Then the subsequent confidants followed without hesitation, and the Han army launched a counterattack.

The Wei army was already hesitant and was on the verge of collapse. And Ma Su's counterattack completely ignited the fear in the hearts of the Wei army.

It is said that Ma Su is invincible and kills the enemy in battle array as if there is no one in the world. Now that he has launched a charge, is he not running because he thinks his life is not long enough?

The result is that as soon as Ma Su launched the charge, this group of Wei army border guards who beat up the Eastern Wu in Hefei a few years ago collapsed like refugees. Ma Su didn't even fight with a few enemies before he found that the Wei army's front line had completely collapsed.

As for Guo Huai... when Ma Su launched a counterattack, he had already slipped to the rear army. After the front army collapsed, he quickly gathered the remnants and reorganized some of his troops to prepare for further resistance.

But it didn't seem to work. The Wei army, which had already been frightened, had no fighting spirit. The troops that Guo Huai had reorganized with great effort collapsed again not long after contacting the Han army.

Guo Huai understood this and immediately made three consecutive miracles:

There is no hope, wait for death, goodbye!

Then he ran away with the troops who still obeyed his command without saying a word.

But when he ran away, Guo Huai was still quite honest. He ran eastward with his own flag in a big way, trying to lure Ma Su away to buy time for Sima Shi.

But compared to Guo Huai, Ma Su was more interested in Sima Shi. After defeating their rear guard, he didn't even think about collecting the surrendered soldiers, and chased Sima Shi with his troops.

Unfortunately, Sima Shi was also a cautious person, and had predicted that Guo Huai would be defeated quickly. When Ma Su chased him aggressively, the 60,000 Wei army had already abandoned their baggage and fled to Kaiyang with light luggage.

Because tens of thousands of troops carried too much baggage, blocking the road caused Ma Su to be tripped. When Ma Su moved the baggage blocking the road, the Wei army had already run away.

Ma Su had no other choice if he didn't catch up with Sima Shi. Fortunately, he seized a large amount of baggage and defeated Guo Huai's 20,000 troops, which was worth the trip.

And the most important thing is that Kaiyang is still a hundred miles away from the natural barrier of southern Qi. At this distance, Ma Su only needs to set up camp on the road that must be passed, and Sima Shi dare not continue to move forward.

Next, it is to slowly compete with the Wei army in endurance.

"All troops, listen to my orders."

Ma Su shook his head gently, then turned to his troops and said,

"Clean up the battlefield and seize the baggage. Since the pseudo-Wei has given us so many gifts, it would be too disappointing to throw them away for nothing."

"All troops, pack up the baggage, and wait for the arrival of follow-up reinforcements. This time, none of the 80,000 people in Huainan can escape!"

When the news that Ma Su defeated Guo Huai in the East China Sea and blocked Sima Shi in Kaiyang was sent back to Qingzhou, even Sima Yi could not hold back.

Three thousand people, a long-distance raid of thousands of miles, and then defeated the 20,000 rear guards with fewer troops. The Shu army is so strong, it's easy to fight a market, dead...

"That's what happened, Taiwei, think of a way quickly, the general of the Western Expedition is now blocked in Langya." At this time, Qingzhou Mu Cao Xi was already weak, and asked Sima Yi with a terrified look.

"The Shu army has entered Xuzhou now, and is only one step away from Qingzhou. If the General Zhengxi cannot be rescued, and the Shu army takes advantage of the situation to enter Qingzhou, what can we do!"

"General Sima, think of a solution quickly, the world of Wei depends on you!"

"Cao Qingzhou is in serious condition. As a minister entrusted with the care of the orphan, I will naturally not shirk my responsibility. Besides, the one besieged in Kaiyang is my son, and I will never sit idly by." Sima Yi nodded and said solemnly.

However, before Cao Xi was happy, Sima Yi frowned again and said with some embarrassment.

"But the military strength of Wei is very empty now, and troops are being used everywhere. The reinforcements that I just transferred from Liaodong have been sent to Yanzhou to guard the Yellow River crossing."

"Now I don't have a single soldier, even if I want to save Xuzhou, I am willing but unable..."

"What are you talking about, Taiwei? I still have tens of thousands of armored soldiers in Qingzhou, and you will command them all!" Cao Xi said without hesitation to Sima Yi's words. Then he even took out the seal of the Qingzhou Army and handed it to Sima Yi.

In response, Sima Yi hurriedly declined, saying that these were the soldiers of Qingzhou, the last guarantee for guarding the territory. Even if he didn't want this son, he couldn't use the territory of Wei as a barrier.

Sima Yi's behavior moved Cao Xi even more. So he forced the military power of tens of thousands of troops in Qingzhou to Sima Yi.

Sima Yi repeatedly refused to no avail, and finally "reluctantly" took over the military power, and cried to express his gratitude for the trust of Qingzhou Mu.

He naturally needed to be grateful. After all, the tens of thousands of troops in Qingzhou were arranged by Cao Shuang to check and balance him from the beginning. Now, Cao Xi took the initiative to hand over the military power to him. How could he not thank him for such a great favor?

Finally, Cao Xi saw that Sima Yi was willing to help, and he immediately returned to the governor's mansion with satisfaction. After Cao Xi left, Sima Yi's face regained its calm.

At this moment, Cao Wei's Huainan Army and Liaodong Army have become the iron vote bank of his Sima family. Although the Yanzhou Army and Hebei Army are still under the control of the Cao family, they are already trapped in the Yanzhou war zone and cannot move.

And now, Cao Wei has also obtained the military power of the Qingzhou Army, the only one it can use. Next, it only needs to take it step by step, and the military power of Cao Wei will all belong to the Sima family.

Although Cao Shuang's political skills are not bad, he is still too young compared to Sima Yi...
