To the west of Tongguan, several small clashes broke out in the space of half a month. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Qiang army, with its skillful fighting, constantly used small forces to show off its might under the city passes, and again and again swept away the majesty of the imperial army.

As soon as General Cao Ren, who was in charge of defending the city, could not bear the side effects of low morale and had the slightest intention of sending troops out of the city, the Qiang army immediately exerted its characteristics of coming and going like the wind, and supervised the soldiers and horses to quickly leave and flee to the range of catapults and bed crossbows.

The imperial army was tireless.

If it's a normal battle, it's okay to be accepted, anyway, defend the city, not that's it.

The city gate is here and you won't escape, obviously you want to attack the city, we are here waiting for all the means to take over.

However, the Qiang army under the command of Han Sui is the Xihai Qiang who rushed down from the plateau on a yak, and these tens of thousands of people can't even speak the lame Baima Qiang native language, let alone any Chinese. Their call for battle was like the chirping of a group of sturdy monkeys to the Han defenders on the city wall, and no one could understand it at all.

The words are not sharp, and the brothers of Xihaiqiang make up for it with their movements and demeanor.

With the order, more than 700 Xihai Qiang men riding yaks turned their heads crookedly, turned their butts at the defenders on the city pass, and whistled.

What does a whistle do?

Urging cattle to poop.

It didn't take long for a lump of cow dung to appear under Tongguan.

This is not the end, what is even more excessive is the Hu soldiers in Dunhuang who responded to the invitation of Han Wenyue, although the first line of Jiuquan Dunhuang is one of the least abundant places in Liangzhou, but these soldiers are by no means yellow-faced and thin, but they are the fat and oily they eat, and they are obviously overnourished.

There is a trade route from Liangguo to the Western Regions, and these Qianghu garrisons stationed in Dunhuang, Jiuquan have their own caravans, and even many of their own families have caravans to the Western Regions.

Many of these men, who were closer to the Western Regions than all the people of Liangzhou, simply brought the camels used for transportation in Dunhuang to the battlefield and became the mounts of the cavalry.

If Ma Yue was here, he would definitely stop his mouth and nose, because the trip to the Western Regions when he was young made him deeply remember the bloody shame of camel urine, and now this group of Qianghu soldiers is like this, taking advantage of a round of catapult attacks to force the defenders of the city to the head of the city, leading the camels to the city of Tongguan to pee.

The means are dirty!

But don't say that Ma Yue doesn't know, if he knows, he will definitely gather his hands in favor.

This clown-like tactic works surprisingly well.

What are they besieging the city for? In order to capture Tongguan! But by no means to use human lives to build a blood-paved road to clear the customs.

What Ma Yue and Han Sui wanted was to surrender without a fight, and what they wanted was to completely disintegrate the enemy's will to fight.

These Qiang Hu soldiers and Xihai Qiang cavalry in the edge of Liangzhou did it with small means that did not enter the stream.

That's enough.

Since half a month ago, the army of Liangguo has changed its strategy, except for the beginning of the uninterrupted catapult offensive, it has entered the stage of confrontation between the upper and lower levels.

Every half an hour, a stone-throwing attack was launched on the head of Tongguan City with a catapult, and every hour the golden drum sounded in unison, and a feint attack was made in a big eastward manner.

The defenders of Tongguan are living in dire straits these days, from the beginning of the tension, to the later relaxation, and now they are even more nervous than at the beginning.

Because General Cao Ren and his staff believed that the Liangguo army would start a general offensive three days ago, and then they were worried every day, and the soldiers slept in good clothes, but ...... Those hateful Liangguo people outside the gate seemed to be playing with them, as if Chen's 200,000 army was hanging outside the gate just to bring those old Liangzhou brothers who had never seen the world out to enjoy the scenery.

Fuck the old cows brought by the Qiang people have all laid calves, and they still don't fight!

Cao Ren stood at the head of the city, the robe behind him rose in the wind, but his originally mighty appearance became depressed because he raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and angrily put the general's sword in his hand worse than a few cases, and walked away.

He knew very well that the people of Liangguo were forcing him out of the customs, and he also knew that once he got out of the customs, it would be difficult for him to win this war no matter what...... The Liangguo people have 200,000 soldiers outside the pass, what does he use to fight the enemy with the little defenders in his hands?

Don't say it's these humiliations, it's just to let King Liang stand on top of his head and pee, as long as this pass is kept, it's worth it.

When Liu Xuande's Jingzhou soldiers and horses are stationed in Tongguan, there will still be battles in the future, otherwise it will not be a matter of victory or defeat.

During this time, the morale of the army was already unstable, and even some generals were spreading the words of hope for peace in the army, Cao Ren was even more annoyed when he thought of these things, and grabbed a passing soldier beside him and said: "When the night comes, send someone to sneak down quietly and cover the ground with soil...... It's delicious! ”

The soldiers nodded in a panic and promised, these days in Tongguan up to the prime minister down to the captain chest there is a breath of air that is difficult to smooth, many violent generals are unhappy to the soldiers either beat or scold, so now the soldiers see the general are walking around.

That's not a team leader, a whip that doesn't like the eyes, but the generals are in charge of life and death, and they are just a small pawn, and they will kill mercilessly.

There have already been fugitives in Tongguan, and the reason why the 100 people fled was not because the defenders still had morale, but because as fugitives, the way they fled to the east had been blocked, and the fugitives were beheaded to show the public, and no one would run to the east dumbfounded, but they couldn't run to the east, could they run to the west?

To the west is the camp of the Liangguo people, they are not afraid of treason, but they are afraid of being slaughtered by the Liangzhou people.

As for the big river in the north, they would never consider it, but some people in Huashan in the south rushed into it without hesitation with a few days' dry food in their arms.

In the eyes of many, this is their only chance to survive.

The army of Liang Country is known as a million people.

Xiao Bing's mind couldn't imagine what the concept of millions of people was, he only knew that now less than 100,000 Han troops and Yanzhou troops had filled the entire Tongguan from the Yellow River to Huashan, and camped everywhere full of military tents, and even an order needed to ride a horse and run a stick of incense, million?

If you think you might as well prepare those things first, and wait until it gets dark to clean up the camel urine!

The nobody was walking with his head down, and suddenly he heard the sound of fighting in the east of the city, and suddenly looked up to see wolf smoke rising from the flat ground, and the fire reflected the Tongguan East City Gate Tower in the evening!

Ma Dai of Liangguo, with 30,000 mourning troops, captured the eldest son Cao Ang, beheaded Tinghou Dianwei, sent people to send the corpse to Tongguan, and then plundered the east of Tongguan, and burned and killed on the land with Liangzhou's fast horses.

The wolf smoke rising from the flat ground is the cry of the rich family in Guanzhong whose farms were burned!

Ma Dai's soldiers and horses zigzag across the plains, looting for military rations, grass and supplies, and then burning everything that could be seen and could ignite smoke.

He wanted to convey a message to Guan Zuo, in a dangerous posture.

In Ma Dai's eyes, the map of Tongguan in his mind was like a three-dimensional one, he knew that his uncle's army was gathered to the west of Tongguan, and he also knew that behind him was Liu Xuande's army of 70,000.

He wanted to let the Liangguo army launch a fierce attack on Tongguan according to his imaginary arrangement after seeing the smoke, posing a threat to the army of Tongguan, and on the other side, Cao Cao would definitely send troops out of the pass to fight him, otherwise when Liu Bei's soldiers and horses rushed to the place where the smoke was rising, the Yuzhou army would run away and disappear early.

With Liu Bei's army alone, catching up with Ma Dai on the plains is a joke at all!

He lit these thick smoke just to disturb Liu Bei's eyeliner, the horseshoe prints on the ground may be fake, can't the smoke rising from the sky be fake?

He wants to exhaust the enemy troops who are chasing after him, and then engage the enemy in unexpected directions...... Mobilize the smallest number of troops and defeat the most enemies!

His uncle Ma Yue said that fighting a war is never a one-person thing, an army is a whole, and this whole is by no means a general and a soldier. The name of their army is called the Liang State Army, and this war is also a war between the Liang State and the imperial court, so Ta Ma Dai can't tie everything to his own heart.

As the saying goes, the way to use soldiers is to match and win by surprise.

In this chapter of the heaven-swallowing net under the subordinates of Liang Guo, Ma Dai's Yuzhou army is strange.

30,000 Yuzhou troops are said to be a lot, no matter where these 30,000 soldiers and horses go, they will affect the hearts of all parties, but 30,000 soldiers and horses are too much, compared to the millions of people in Liangguo, this is just a drop in the ocean, even compared to the 200,000 military strength of the imperial court.

What Ma Bozhan wants is this effect, at least 150,000 troops in the pass, Liangzhou and Jizhou, no matter which way they seize the opportunity to merge with him, they will win this battle!

Of course, this premise is that he was not played to death by himself!

Ma Yue, who was stationed in Chang'an, was overjoyed when he received the news that he was suspected of having set fire to the east of Tongguan by Ma Bozhan of Yuzhou...... The so-called blood and heart, Ma Dai's inner thoughts can be guessed by Ma Yue, and his first reaction is to send someone to Han Sui to attack the east.

But before he could say anything, he was denied by himself.

"Don't let Han Sui change his strategy, continue to drag Tongguan unhurriedly, and create the illusion that we don't know the truth, but we must secretly increase our military strength to Tongguan." Ma Yue thought about it, slapped his palm on a few cases and shouted: "Order, raise a large army to gather in Zheng County in the east, and order Yang Feng to supervise all the people to provide support to Ma Dai's army from the Huashan dangerous road." Li Hu was ordered to set up an ambush on Huashan Road, ready to meet Yang Feng and Ma Dai at any time. ”

With a light knock on his fingers, Ma Yue got up and walked out of the big tent, and once again ordered Peng Shi and Peng Tuo to collect warships from Linjin Water Village to the east of the river, and ordered Zhang Heng to continue to seize Mengjindu from the east of the river to the south and attack Mengjin Pass!

When the man who had been stained with blood all his life looked up at the night sky again, it seemed that the sky full of stars was smiling at him.

Now all he needs is to wait, when Tongguan can't stand the attack from behind, and send troops east to pursue his dear nephew, as long as Cao Cao sends another 30,000 soldiers and horses, Han Sui can attack Tongguan with an army of 60,000.

Take Tongguan, the yellow dragon couch in Luoyang is within easy reach for him!

The yellow dragon couch that once let him stand on the left and right with a halberd!

He was content with his position, humble and light, how could he have the ambition to peek into the artifact?
