Chapter Ninety-Five: Xianping is in a hurry
The war in the south of Liangzhou is stalemate, and the war in the north is also in full swing.
When the Han merchant who fled south informed Dou Liang of the transfer of a large number of troops and horses in Xianbei, he did not take it seriously, but only thought that it was a small group of Xianbei invasion for many years, and reorganized the soldiers and horses as usual, preparing to block the Xianbei people in the north of Lian County. Years ago, he proposed to Ma Yue to build a desert stone village in the northern desert north of Lianxian County, and now it has been settled, stationed in a song sergeant, and connected the surrounding land to build a thousand-step pass, almost to the Xianbei road to Liangzhou blocked, the integration of the military households in the whole county in the north is very easy, but it is a matter of order. Dou Liang did not pay attention to it because of this.
Then, there was a letter of help from Xianping County, Shuofang County, Bingzhou, informing Xianbei that a large number of soldiers and horses had invaded the state and county, and Dou Liang knew that Xianbei's entry into Han was not trivial.
Beidi County issued a recruitment list to recruit people from the state and county who dared to fight in the north to resist Xianbei. Collecting military rations, war horses, and making ordnance, the entire Northland County fell into a kind of tension before the big war, and people seemed to have lost interest in chatting and buried themselves in doing what the county government ordered.
Ten days passed in a flash, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses gathered outside Lingzhou County, there were conscripts from Beidi County, and there were also soldiers from all over the country who rushed to fight after hearing the news, Dou Liang finally sorted out his armor and prepared to go out of Taishou Mansion to Xianping County to support, and finally, he looked back at the books spread out on several cases.
"Sanfu Decision", written by Zhao Qi, a native of Chang'an.
Last year, the "Sanfu Decision" was written, and this year it was all the rage in Sanfu, and the civil and military generals, dignitaries, and rural heroes were all proud to be selected. And among them, all of them are known to be wise or famous in the world.
The majestic and earth-shaking Ma Yue also occupies pen and ink in the book, and Zhao Qi has written a special book on this cool land boy who has sprung up in the past few years, and has become a model in the world.
Dou Liang did not approve of this, a few years ago this young man had fought with him against the invasion of the Xianbei people with the ring knife, and they were robes of life and death. This Dou family general has seen too many famous literati generals, and he thinks that Zhao Qi's evaluation of Ma Yue is a bit too high.
He was not yet born when the Dou family was noble, but the decline of the Dou family, under his witness, also left a deep impression on him at that time.
He knows very well that the view of the flat floor comes quickly, and it also falls quickly.
He felt that he should remind his former life and death robes to be careful. But now the identity is different, and the status is different.
There are so many words, it's not his turn to say.
Thinking of this, Dou Liang stopped and looked at his armor, and wrote a letter to order someone to send it to Longxian. He didn't know if he would be able to come back alive from his trip to Xianping this time, and he had fought with the Xianbei people for most of his life, in addition to the injuries he had fallen, what remained in his mind was a deep understanding of the entire Xianbei tribe as a whole.
If Xianbei had a premeditated large-scale attack this year, he understood that his more than 10,000 soldiers and horses would still be difficult to defeat Xianbei's 100,000 iron cavalry.
Dou Liang finally looked back at the humble Taishou Mansion in Beidi County, waved his hand, got on his horse, and shouted: "Scouts lead the way, rescue Xianping!" ”
……
Longxi County, Rongqiu.
The battlefield under the remnant sun is even more tragic, and the war caused by the dispute over the ownership of the eastern part of Liangzhou has entered the most dangerous moment. Ma Yue's defense line was contracted into a ring, with spears and spears on the outside, strong bows on the inside, and the most elite cavalry was arranged in the center of the ring formation, guarding their generals, Liangzhou Mu and Ma Yue.
Song Jian's soldiers and horses retreated from the dirt slope like a tide after paying thousands of casualties, and the two-hour battle came to an end for the time being, but it was far from over. His soldiers and horses formed a large ring, and surrounded the Han army at intervals of 300 paces, leaving half of the sergeants to remain on the defensive, and the rest of the soldiers and horses rested in place.
Song Jian was waiting, he had to wait for the people who transported the baggage in the rear to transport the firewood, grain and grass here, so that the soldiers could have a full meal, set up a bonfire in the center of the battle array, and wait until night to wait for the opportunity to attack.
The Han army had suffered heavy casualties, leaving more than 8,000 of the most difficult bones to be besieged by him, their food and grass could not be delivered, and the baggage in the camp was as demanding as the food in the roadside huts in Hanzhong.
"He's lost!" Song Jian said to his younger brother.
It was too late to fight, and if it weren't for the corpses everywhere and the heavy bloody smell between the mouth and nose, the scene of the snow-capped mountains at sunset would be a little beautiful. Ma Yue didn't have the heart to watch the sunset now, his subordinates suffered heavy casualties, but more than 2,000 sergeants died in a day, and the rest also had more than 1,000 hanging colors.
Ma Zong moved a big stone, earlier Song Jian ordered the cavalry of the Heshou Wang Army to attack the Chinese army, the sudden attack made the front army formation almost collapse, thanks to Ma Zong carrying the horse slashing knife to lead his subordinates to resist desperately to stabilize the formation, and almost killed the King of Qi Han at the head of the river, and was finally blocked by the Wang army cavalry to pay more than ten lives, but the majesty is majestic, the price of the majesty is that the back was cut out of a wound nearly a foot long, and he could not exert his strength in the near future, so he had to rest beside Ma Yue.
Ma Chao and Yan Xing have asked to fight several times, but they have been suppressed by Ma Yue, and at this time, the second general is also beside Ma Zong, Ma Chao bandaged Ma Zong's wound and patted Yan Xing next to him.
Yan Xing's request to fight was a little sullen after being rejected, and he had no choice but to smile when he saw that it was Ma Chao.
However, Gan Ning thought about it in his heart, and spit out the grass blades in his mouth with a puff and said to Yan Xing: "Yanming, don't think so much, it's normal for the lord not to let us rush into battle, who let us be with the young general." ”
"How?" Ma Chao looked at Gan Ning, everyone in the army, only Gan Ning had no blame for Ma Chao's massacre of the villagers, so he and Gan Ning, the leader of the bandits, were very like-minded, and asked, "How can you blame me for this?" ”
"I'm not to blame you." Gan Ning saw that Yan Xing also looked over, and then said: "Let's talk about Yanming first, you are the lord's henchman, you have commanded the Changshui army for several years, the lord has absolutely trust you, have you forgotten that no matter what happens to the lord in Luoyang, it is good to close the door and let Yan Xing go?" ”
Gan Ning's indecent words made Ma Chao laugh, Yan Xing scolded with a smile, but he felt a little more comfortable in his heart, and asked, "Then why is the situation so critical that you don't let me wait to fight?" ”
"No, the lord won't let us fight, which can only mean that the situation is not critical enough." Gan Ning said with a serious face: "Lao Tzu is not joking, the young general killed nine generals yesterday, if the lord finds an opportunity, he will definitely let me and others fight, kill the head of the river and leave no piece of armor, you look at it!" ”
Compared with Yan Xing, Ma Yue was even more depressed in his heart, he had fought such a battle a time ago, and now he was surrounded by Song Jiantuan, and he couldn't even send his baggage, how many robes were hungry, if this battle hadn't turned around here, it would not be able to fight anymore.
Fuck, the emperor isn't a hungry soldier. These soldiers under his command are gathered from the side of various generals, although they are loyal, but after all, they are not descendants of soldiers and horses, and it is okay to work hard for other horses, so that they are hungry and desperate, but I am afraid that there is no door, if they fight until dawn, I am afraid that the camp will be bombed in the middle of the night.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside the formation, and Ma Yue heard a voice say: "Guan Yunchang, please tell the lord." ”
Before Guan Yu's words fell, Ma Yue said, "Let Yun Chang come in!" ”
Then there was a burst of armor collision, Guan Yu, who was wearing neat armor, glanced at Ma Chao and the others, and hugged his fist at Ma Yue and said, "Lord, Guan Yu please fight!" ”
"Dare to ask Yun Chang, night is coming, why fight?" Ma Yue pointed to the sky and asked, looking at Guan Yu who was convincing, he knew that the number one general under his command already had a plan in his heart, whether it was feasible or not, as long as Guan Yu did not risk his life, he was willing to let Guan Yu try.
In the battle of Luoyang, Guan Yu's fight to be the commander of the future made Ma Yue have a deeper understanding of the generals under his command, and he was looking forward to what kind of surprise Guan Yu could bring him when he had nothing to do.
"During a certain war, he kept an eye on Song Jiandaxu, who had been stationed on a hill in the west, and there were not many guards around. The sky is dark here, the rear army is surrounded by insufficient troops, a certain can lead 30 good hands to break out, the Song thief will think that the soldier for help, and the subordinates can detour to the vicinity of the mountain to ambush. Guan Yu said confidently: "When night falls, the lord can break through to the north of the Chinese army, Song Jianbi will send troops to pursue, and his subordinates can surprise the enemy commander and behead him!" Even if it doesn't work, the lord can break through to Ji County to rectify the soldiers and horses, and fight the dog thief to the death in the future! ”
Ma Chao Yan Xing's eyes lit up suddenly, and even Gan Ning, who was lying on the grass and leisurely watching the magnificent sunset, got up, his eyes blazing against Ma Yue, eager for him to hand over this mission to himself.
Ma Yue pondered for a moment, surprised that he actually agreed with this very risky move in his heart, but he still asked with some worry: "In this way, the safety of Senior Brother Yun ......"
"Uncle, you still don't know Uncle Guan's martial arts?" Ma Chao glanced at his master proudly, and his fist slammed the breastplate into a loud bang, "The generals of the Song family dog are only afraid that they let their nephews kill them all yesterday, and those miscellaneous soldiers can't stop the uncle." Counting the nephew, with fifty Uncle Dong's personal guards, the nephew can level them with a team of 1,000 people! ”
"Just the can?" Ma Yue scolded Ma Chao very unexpectedly, got up and gave Guan Yu a whole coat and armor, took out a sash from his armpit and put it on Guan Yu, and said: "Yun Chang, this trip is extremely dangerous, you can not make an inch, but you must retreat with your whole body, you, do you know?" ”
Guan Yu nodded heavily, turned around and walked out of the formation to lead the horse. Ma Chao saw that Guan Yu was gone, and remembered to jump straight to his feet, but he was immersed in the embarrassment of Ma Yue scolding him and didn't dare to make a sound, Ma Yue's eyes swept over, and then walked quickly and raised his leg and kicked Ma Chao's buttocks, and scolded with a smile: "You were so happy just now, why don't you go to put on armor and be stunned here?" ”
Ma Chao cheered when he heard this, and then Ma Yue nodded at Gan Ning and Guo Yan and said, "You two ordered a hundred flying bear troops to follow Guan Yu to break through from the rear, and everything obeyed Guan Yunchang's orders." ”
"They all come back to me alive, who is going to die...... Lao Tzu threw your ancestral grave! ”
The generals smiled and received the order, wearing armor and leading horses, leaving Yan Xing alone in a daze, and only after a while did he ask Ma Yue: "Lord, what about me?" ”
"What, think I forgot about you Yan Yanming?" Ma Yue smiled and turned around and pointed to the front and said, "You go and gather the rear army, wait for it to get dark and pretend to break through, and wait for Yun Chang and them to succeed as the vanguard general to sweep away the enemy army for me!" ”
Yan Xing had a smile on his face, incomparably sunny in the light of the torches, "No! ”
