Three Kingdoms: I, Ma Su, Only Seek Death

After Gaolu was suddenly detoured by Ma Di and quickly captured and cut off the Wei army's supply line, Chen Tai responded quickly.

First, a general was assigned to march into the highland with 3,000 people on the Chidao Road with great fanfare. This created a situation where he would use all his strength to counterattack Gaolu.

Chen Tai then dispatched various Wei troops. Except for the defenders of Xiaoguan, the rest of the Wei troops began to pack up quietly. Because of the cover of the corridor, it facilitated the assembly and transfer of the Wei army's large forces.

In addition, Chen Tai himself is not weak in ability and has taken many details into consideration. Even if the army withdraws from the camp, the old, weak, sick and disabled who are left behind must light all the stoves.

From the smoke to the patrols to the firelight in the middle of the night, everything is the same as before.

Because of this, all the Han generals, including Liu Yin, did not notice Chen Tai's actions. Twenty thousand Wei troops quietly assembled east of the Xinghe River.

When the general and his three thousand men were about to arrive at Gaolu City, Chen Tai chose a night and led the main force of the Wei army to evacuate at night. Twenty thousand soldiers and horses retreated from Chiyang, lightly armed and simple soldiers along the path, and quickly retreated towards Feng Yijun.

Regarding the Weibei battlefield, Sima Yi assigned Chen Tai the task of resisting at all levels from the beginning. Through the layers of defenses in Beidi County, Fengyi County and even Qinguan, a large number of Shu army's troops were contained.

As long as the Shu army divides its forces to occupy Weibei and Chen Tai delays its progress, Sima Yi's pressure on Weinan will be much less. When the war drags on for a long time, the Shu army's logistics will soon be unable to keep up, and Zhuge Liang and Ma Di should withdraw themselves.

Therefore, after Chen Tai occupied Ma Su's Gaolu and cut off his retreat, he withdrew his entire army without saying a word, and gave up the entire Beidi County directly.

In addition to being really worried about Ma Su's strength, there was also the fact that Chen Tai couldn't afford to lose him. Even if Beidi County and even Feng Yi County are lost, as long as Tongguan and Pubanjin are still in the hands of the Wei army, the Shu army will not be able to completely block Sima Yi in the pass.

Chen Tai's timing was just right. When his generals led 3,000 people to Gaolu to die, he led the main force eastward along the path. In order not to be noticed by the Shu army, Chen Tai also specially found the mountain road that was the shortest and least likely to be discovered.

Following the foothills to the north, the Wei army quickly retreated towards Linjin. Chen Tai was still frightened along the way, fearing that Ma Su would see through his move and ambush him in advance.

But along the way, Chen Tai's vigilance failed.

The Wei army successfully passed through valley paths suitable for ambushes one after another, but they were not ambushed in any of them. In many places, Chen Tai felt that if there was an ambush, he might even annihilate them all. He sent a large number of scouts to investigate in advance, but in the end he found that there was no ambush at all.

Because of this, as he got closer and closer to Feng Yijun, Chen Tai's string became more and more relaxed. Judging from the current situation, Ma Su didn't seem to see through his plan.

"It seems that Ma Su is so treacherous, and he will miss one day." Chen Tai began to breathe a sigh of relief, and even if he ran away in embarrassment, he did not forget to mock Ma Su.

After all, he really couldn't be beaten on the battlefield, and he couldn't be scolded by Ma Su if he met him head-on. The only thing Chen Tai could get some psychological comfort from was to be tough-spoken after successfully deceiving Ma Di once.

In this way, the Wei army marched from Chiyang to the foothills in the north. They marched for more than ten days and arrived near Pinyang.

At this time, Gaolu and Xinghe were far behind, and it was basically impossible for the Han army to catch up. After passing Pinyang, the Wei army reached the second line of defense and faced Jin.

This place is backed by Baierqinguan and Pubanjin, and is the gateway to the east line of Kankan. Moreover, the front line near Shanxi is not wide, and there is no room for guerrilla detours.

Chen Tai believed that as long as he returned to Linjin and still defended by danger, Ma Su would have no choice but to stop here.

In this way, 20,000 Wei troops arrived at their last stop, Bei Valley!

Chen Tai was walking on Beishan Road in Beidi County, which was a difficult road. Beigu Valley is the last stop, and after leaving, there is a flat plain.

Although there was a possibility of an ambush here, it was hundreds of miles away from Gaolu, so Chen Tai was not prepared.

The Wei army entered the Stele Valley basically unsuspectingly, and the whole army seemed a little slack. All the soldiers wanted to rush over and arrive in Linjin to have a good rest.

Chen Tai personally led the front army into Beigu Valley, but when passing through, Chen Tai suddenly felt strange.

Something seems to be wrong, but I can't feel that anything is wrong.

It wasn't until Chen Taitong was halfway through that he heard a soldier subconsciously mutter,

"It's been a few months. Are there no birds or animals here anymore?"

Just such a sentence suddenly made Chen Tai's eyes widen.

He finally remembered that something was wrong. Ever since he entered the Valley of Steles, he hadn't heard a single sound of birds or animals! Even though it’s already October, it’s completely unnatural to be so quiet!

"Something's wrong! There's an ambush!" Chen Tai quickly reined in the horse and shouted with a stern expression,

"All troops on alert!"

Chen Tai's shout was quickly conveyed through the flag language, and Wei Jun, who was originally slack, quickly became panicked.

But before Wei Jun could react, a horn sound suddenly sounded from the jungle on both sides!

"Fire the arrow!!"

For a moment, the mountains and forests on both sides of the Monument Valley seemed to come alive, and countless shouts suddenly sounded. Countless arrows and crossbows suddenly shot out from the forest, flying down overwhelmingly!

The Wei army was unprepared to begin with, and the road in Beigu Valley was extremely narrow. For a time, the entire army was in chaos under the attack of arrows. Many soldiers had no time to hide, and were shot into sieves by the continuous arrows of the Han army.

The most important thing is that not only are arrows raining down, but the Han army also throws a large number of rolling stones from high places. Many Wei soldiers holding shields were unable to dodge and were smashed to death on the road.

It's no wonder that Chen Tai wasn't vigilant, after all, he really didn't expect Ma Su to come so far away to ambush him. This is hundreds of miles away from the mainland, and it is not the best place for an ambush. Logically speaking, it is the least likely place to have an ambush.

But Ma Su once again taught Chen Tai a lesson, and of course it might be the last lesson.

Chen Tai, protected by personal guards, struggled to break out amid arrows like locusts. But as the guards continued to fall down after being hit by arrows, there were fewer and fewer people protecting Chen Tai.

Finally, just when he was about to escape, an arrow passed through the gap and hit Chen Tai's knee!

"The general has been hit by an arrow!"

"Protect the general quickly! The general is injured!"

"We are going to be finished..."

In the end, Chen Tai was desperately rescued by his guards, and ran towards Linjin overnight regardless of his injuries. Except for Chen Tai, most of the rest of the Wei army was killed or injured in the ambush in Beigu Valley, and the entire army collapsed!
