Chapter 16: A fire breaks out in the camp

Kyung Zhao Yin.

"Captain Ma, speaking of which, Yuan still wants to call you a virtuous nephew." Yuan Shu put the letter from Huayin Pegasus on a few cases and gently pressed it, stretched his waist with a look of satisfaction on his face, and said: "The famous Ma San, you are soft!" ”

Sitting opposite Yuan Shu was Ma Dai, who looked at Yuan Shu coldly, and said angrily: "What did my uncle promise you!" ”

"Your uncle begs me to take good care of you." Yuan Shu had a smile on his face that flaunted the winner of the test, smoothed the robe on his body and said with a smile: "Give up Chang'an City and ask me to talk about it in Baling." ”

Yuan Shu was sure to win at this moment, and 20,000 Han troops entered Yizhou, although they were ambushed, they were not injured. Now that Ma Yue is out of Liangzhou, he immediately returned to his teacher and went straight to Sanfu through the Qinchuan Ancient Road, and also detained the proton of Ma Dai. Compared to Ma Yue, Liu Yan is nothing!

In the past, in Luoyang, he fought against Ma Yue several times, except for the fact that he was able to fight with Ma Yue when Sun Jian helped out. Liangzhou Ma Laosan is his old enemy of Yuan Shu!

This time when he joined Sanfu, he had to make an appointment with Ma Yue. The world-famous General Yuan is not a villain, and he does not intend to coerce a junior of the Ma family, although Ma Dai was captured in a mutiny, he has been forced to raise the level of food and living supply to the same level as Yuan Shu, a general, these days.

What Yuan Shu wants is to set up a dignified and upright formation, defeat Ma Yue, and be ashamed!

"Reply to him, in mid-July, Ba Ling will be recounted."

The army marched and went straight to the old capital of Chang'an.

There was still a horse in Ma Dai's march, but there was no weapon, and he was slowly surrounded by many sergeants, so even the fierce generals of the three armies of Yongguan could not rush out. What he saw and heard along the way, everything was new to the young Ma Dai, if Yuan Shu fell into his hands, he would kill it directly, or chop off his arm and give it to Yuan Shao to deter him.

'This is roughly what my uncle said, the difference between the Central Plains and Liangzhou', Ma Dai thought so, while secretly learning Yuan Shu's marching formation. Although Yuan Shu always suffered defeat against his own uncle, he was a leader in his humanities and martial arts and should not be underestimated.

The five armies marched together, and the elite Han army was placed in the front and rear armies by Yuan Shu, and the trusted generals Ji Ling and Zhang Xun were ordered to supervise them, and the left and right flanks were two old Yellow Turban troops from Wancheng who surrendered, and the two leaders were one named Liu Pi and the other was called He Yi. The four armies in the front and rear are all phalanxes, and the spears, spears, horses, and bows are all prepared. The Chinese army is from the Luoyang Southern Army, the most elite corps. No matter how they marched, whether they crossed mountains or plains, Ma Dai had never seen this army cause confusion because of its formation.

The four armies changed the sequence of march at any time according to the terrain conditions, sometimes the rear army was the front army, sometimes the front army was the left army, but no matter how it marched, it always ensured the stability of the central army.

Such a formation maximizes the chance of survival in the face of threats.

On the last day of early July, near Chang'an City, the army stopped, and Yuan Shu ordered Liu Pi to lead his troops into the city to inspect the garrison in the city and the living conditions of the people of Liangzhou in the city.

Yuan Shu is not stupid, he wants to see if Ma Yue has laid an ambush on him.

This is also a helpless thing, there is no ready-made camp outside the city of Sanfu can be stationed, Han Sui jumped and broke Sanfu no less than three times, robbed and plundered again and again, the camp outside the city is difficult to defend against the invasion of Liangzhou Qiang cavalry, in order to prevent the Liangzhou cavalry from going out again, the entire Sanfu city military camp is in the city.

However, Yuan Shu's troops were too many, and the cost of setting up a new battalion was too huge. In fact, Yuan Shu knew that his soldiers and horses were a lone army in Sanfu, and there was no baggage to send, so he had to figure out everything by himself. Therefore, he must be stationed in Chang'an City and open the granary of the Treasury Mansion to ensure the maximum combat effectiveness of the soldiers.

He expected that after meeting Ma Yue in Baling in mid-July, the two sides would set up a battle in formation.

He hadn't thought about Luoyang's support for the time being, this time he wanted to defeat Ma Yue with his own strength, and he didn't need Yuan Benchu's intrigues!

Liu Pi returned in the afternoon, reporting that the Liangzhou garrison in Chang'an City had withdrawn a few days ago, and that there were not many faces in Liangzhou in the city, and the four military camps were vacant and could be garrisoned.

Great army, into the city.

They did not know that when they entered the city, the men who were hiding in the houses in the city were watching them with a prey gaze.

……

July 17, Baling.

On the flat hill, this land is called Bailuyuan, thirty miles away from Chang'an City. Baling is also the mausoleum of Emperor Xiaowen of the Han Dynasty.

Scattered rangers galloped past here, searching each other for most of the enemy forces that might be deployed here, and after a while, the two sides lined up at each end. Five hundred horsemen came from the direction of Chang'an under the banner, and then there were foot soldiers carrying a few cases, stools, futons, and even seasonal fruits on them, and then they retreated. Then the cavalry separated, and Yuan Shu led four guards to sit on the futon with graceful and luxurious steps, waiting for Ma Yue.

In the distance, a large banner was raised on the horizon, and then ten knights covered in armor galloped up the hillside, and the leading knight was tall, and he removed his battle axe, and took off his iron shield, and took off his hood, revealing a heroic and unruly face, and his own rider took the flagpole from his hand, and came galloping alone.

In the gallop of hundreds of steps, Yuan Shu saw that the heavy wooden pole of the horse-shaped banner in Ma Yue's hand was not crooked in the slightest, and he held it straight and straight to nearly ten steps, and Ma Yue slowly reined in the horse, and finally threw the flagpole into the ground.

With a pop, the blunt flagpole plunged into the ground nearly a foot deep, and was firmly planted behind him.

Ma Yue hung the shackle on the horse's back, patted the horse's buttocks, and the horse ran away with joy.

Yuan Shu just watched Ma Yue pull over the stool with a big stab, and sat opposite him with a big horse knife.

"Brother Highway, I haven't seen you for a long time, can the journey of Yizhou be smooth?" Ma Yue had a nonchalant smile on his face, he deliberately rode alone to talk to Yuan Shu about his nephew's capture, if he led a large group of people like Yuan Shu, he would lose his momentum.

Yuan Shu arched his hand and said with a smile: "Jun Hao is unharmed, I haven't seen him for many years, and his heroism is still the same, which is really enviable." ”

"Brother Highway leads a large army and controls all people, isn't it more heroic than a mere heroic?" Ma Yue smiled, picked up a courgette on a few cases, took a bite, looked up and said, "We are old acquaintances, don't be polite." How does Brother Highway plan to put his little nephew back in Liangzhou? ”

Yuan Shu smiled and whispered: "This is easy, as long as the famous Ma Junhao fights with me." ”

"It's that simple?" Ma Yue stood up, clapped his hands, clenched his fists and said, "Come on, Brother Road, I'll let you use weapons." ”

Yuan Shu stood up, took a step back and said, "Wait, that's not what I'm talking about!" ”

Ma Yue was laughing in his heart, fighting alone, with a suit of armor, even if Yuan Shu used the general's sword at his waist, he was not his opponent. On his face, he pretended to sit back on the stool and asked, "What does Brother Highway mean by fighting?" ”

Yuan Shu waved his robe, raised his head and said: "Lay down a dignified and upright formation, you and I will face off against each other, as many people as you have, use as many people as you have, and use as many people as you want, those who win will stay, and those who lose will go home." But you can rest assured that even if you lose, Yuan will send your nephew back. ”

"Brother Highway, this ...... I'm afraid not. Ma Yue arched his hand and said: "It's not that Ma is unwilling, but the current situation really does not allow Ma to fight against Brother Highway, so that Brother Brother's tens of thousands of troops are in Tongguan, and Brother Highway supervises more than 10,000 troops in Chang'an, and now it is impossible to fight against each other in any case......

"This, does Jun Hao think that you can retreat with your whole body in the face of the soldiers and horses of the Kansai and Kanto regions at the same time?" Yuan Shu frowned and said: "Do you know, I am talking to you sincerely, otherwise Yuan would not have to pass on the book to you, does Jun Hao think that Yuan will not be able to capture Chang'an City?" ”

"Of course that's not what I mean." Ma Yue smiled, his heart was actually happy, just before Yuan Shu came, he had arranged everything in Chang'an City, Yang Aruo had already touched Ma Dai's side, and the armored army and rangers who stayed in the city were ready to go. What's more, the three thousand soldiers and horses have been reduced to zero, and they have been rounded to the rear from the north and south sides of the Baling Tomb, and Ma Yue is just coming to spend time with Yuan Shu. "Brother Highway, don't worry, if you really want to compete with the next one, arrange the troops and fight."

"So be it." Ma Yue made an embarrassed look, scratched his hair, and then looked back and pointed to the lonely ten armored heavy horsemen on the hillside behind him and said: "Brother Highway, you have ten elites, Ma has brought ten cavalry, let's fight here, and see the victory or defeat, how about it?" ”

Ma Yue's words choked Yuan Shu almost vomited blood, and the cavalry on the hillside was no different from Ma Yue except for the cloak, and the finely forged Xuan-colored armor revealed the lines printed with wrought iron, the obvious precision-forged armor, as well as the cold battle axe and crossbow...... What kind of elite can be taken out to fight them? Yuan Shu suddenly regretted what he had just said, the rule of equal number of people.

"Ma Yue, Yuan sincerely invited you to come, are you teasing Yuan like this?"

At this moment, the smoke suddenly ignited in the distance of Chang'an City, although there was no sound of fighting here, but Ma Yue knew that today's Chang'an City must be full of blood. Several black smoke rose from the city, but Yuan Shu sat opposite Ma Yue, and the cavalry under his command were always paying attention to their movements and had no time to turn back, which made Ma Yue want to laugh.

Ma Yue didn't answer the question, but just looked left and right and said with a smile: "Brother Highway is angry, angry, Ma is definitely not teasing Brother Yuan, but Ma is now short of soldiers and horses to this extent, and there is no way to do it, you say yes." ”

As he spoke, Ma Yue got up and whistled, and his horse galloped from a distance, and then he changed his original face and said to Yuan Shu: "Brother Highway, you remember, Ma Yue is not a person who loves to deceive. But back then in Luoyang, how did Brother Ling use bitter meat to gain my trust, and then secretly colluded with Dong to regain my power...... Today, Ma Yue has become a scheming person, all thanks to the Yuan family. ”

Saying that, Ma Yue stepped on the horse and said to Yuan Shu with a stunned face on the horse's back: "By the way, Brother Yuan, look back, your camp." ”

"It's like there's a fire."

After that, Ma Yue smiled and beat the horse away......
