The rainstorm came as Ma Dai expected. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In these years, the war has been raging, and it is not easy to be a general who can command his subordinates. In addition to the knowledge that must be clear about the arrangement of troops, one's own personality determines whether he is suitable to be a general, but the final decision is often not the number of troops on both sides, but the ability of the general.

Most of the time, this so-called general's ability is expressed in concepts such as astronomy, geography, and people's hearts, which seem to have little to do with war on the surface.

For example, Ma Dai, several years of study at Longdu Academy made him clearly understand what astronomy is, and Ma's family education made the places he had visited imprinted in his mind like a living map.

When the heavens and geography are in harmony, there is an inexhaustible supply of ambushes and attacks, defenses and deceit.

As early as yesterday's burning operation, Ma Dai ordered his subordinates to take the grown wheat from the fields and weave it into a hat, so at noon on this day of heavy rain, his soldiers rushed out of the dangerous road of Huashan in seven groups, each wearing a hat on his head, and killed to the battlefield.

Ma Dai was not afraid that the armor of the soldiers would be wet by the heavy rain, he was only afraid that his subordinates would be killed because the heavy rain blocked the sword light in front of him.

The army of Liangguo has been dispatched!

The Seven-Way Column advanced in the direction where the dark post had been left earlier.

In the vast Tongguandong Plain, they left behind hundreds of soldiers yesterday, and in some places there may be only one person left, and in others there are three or five people left behind, and the number of people left behind is related to their respective missions.

Some people were trying to light a fire last night and mislead Liu Bei's soldiers and horses in the direction of their advance. And some people's purpose is just to pay attention to the movements of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses today, and help Ma Dai find out the camp of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses in the fastest time and kill them!

In a short time, on the way forward of the soldiers and horses, those dark posts were gathered, and the news of Liu Bei's soldiers and horses marching one by one was collected.

The corners of Ma Dai's mouth hooked.

Last night, Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were tired of running for their lives, and the soldiers and horses of the Five Routes first rushed under Tongguan, passing a distance of nearly 100 miles but looking for it to no avail, and then the road they had walked before was lit with smoke.

Liu Bei sent two soldiers to probe again, but to no avail.

In the middle of the night, smoke rises again on the south bank of the Yellow River, and the smoke at night looks white and makes it difficult to see through.

This time, Liu Bei did not pass.

But he was wrong.

The fire on the south bank of the Yellow River was not set by Ma Dai, but by soldiers and horses from Zhang Hengqiang from Hedong County.

These Qiang soldiers, who plundered the entire Hedong and harvested a lot, were not as polite as Ma Dai, and along the way, the villages and fields, whether it was finances, cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, or even women, left nothing.

Anyone who dared to resist him was killed.

When the sentry sent by Liu Bei brought back the tragic situation, Liu Bei almost gritted his teeth.

The sentry cavalry and the surviving peasants would not tell him that the general who led the troops and horses was not called Ma Dai, let alone that the troops and horses were all Qiang...... Many peasants in the Central Plains don't even know what the Qiang people are, so how can they know who Zhang Heng is?

They only knew that the army of the Liang Kingdom had crossed Tongguan to kill them!

Liu Bei also took it for granted that Ma Dai's soldiers and horses had migrated to the north, that is, south of the Yellow River near Tongguan.

Therefore...... Liu Bei made a series of erroneous deployments.

First, he sent a horse to tell Prime Minister Cao Cheng in Tongguan that Ma Dai's troops and horses were not in the direction of Huashan, but on the south bank of the Yellow River north of Tongguan, they should be planning to wait for an opportunity to attack the northern section of Tongguan. Then Liu Bei adjusted the scope of his army's camp, so that the soldiers and horses of the five routes were arranged in a zigzag from west to east, and the entire north was strictly guarded.

The location of this zigzag camp is 80 miles from the north bank of the Yellow River, but it is only 50 miles away from the foot of Huashan Mountain.

Liu Bei did not rashly launch an attack on the Liangguo army in the north, because he knew that his subordinates were too tired this day, and they were in a situation where they were sleepy and tired, and they were simply unable to support a battle with the elite soldiers of the Liang State who were waiting for work.

What's more, it is still the soldiers and horses led by Ma Bozhan, a famous general named by Liang Guo in the world.

They rested for the night first, and Liu Bei had already ordered people to watch over this enemy, who numbered about 10,000.

In his opinion, it is very likely that Ma Dai planned to evacuate from the south bank of the Yellow River to Hedong County by water, and he had already walked partially, and the rest of the people played the role of a suspicious soldier here.

No one thought about it at all, in the direction of the two Liangguo armies mixing into the east of Tongguan.

This is too thankless, if you have the strength to mix in the south of Tongguan and loot the farmland of a fart, it is only right to directly attack Mengjin Pass from both sides...... Only a fool would come to snatch the little things of the poor people, seize a pass, and lay a gate for the Liangguo army to attack Luoyang, how much credit does that have? What glory and wealth are not?

But it's ...... Zhang Heng is a Qiang man with good roots, and he has been the leader of the Qiang tribe since he was a child. And what is the way the Qiang people fight? Kill, rob, ignite.

Kill what moves, snatch what you can, and burn what is left.

It's very ceremonial!

Zhang Heng is good at snatching, he only serves Han Wen about one person in the whole world, even if he is now classified as a general of Liangguo, he is also a direct subordinate of Han Sui. He didn't take King Liang's orders seriously, although Ma Yue personally ordered him to storm Mengjin Pass...... In his opinion, it is a thankless task to force the attack, but it is better to burn and loot.

However, as the saying goes, there is a truth about not getting your shoes wet when you walk by the river, but Zhang Heng was targeted by Liu Bei, but he didn't know it.

This battle started in the morning, Liu Bei's troops and horses forced Zhang Heng's army to the bank of the Yellow River, pursued Zhang Heng for thirty miles, and finally fell into the river and drowned thousands of Qiang soldiers...... Liu Bei has always been benevolent, but this battle is an exception.

Liu Bei didn't want to live or take prisoners, and ordered the generals of all departments to just kill happily.

Wait until Zhang Heng is defeated, move back to the camp, and prepare to enter Tongguan tomorrow after a short rest tonight.

On this day, in this battle, running back and forth for hundreds of miles, or with few horses, both his generals and soldiers were exhausted to the extreme.

General Ma Bozhan had already entered the camp ahead of them, dug a trap and waited for them to return.

Liu Bei thought that he had eliminated the Liangguo army in Tongguan and only ran away from Ma Dai, so the way back was very easy, and he tried his best to make these soldiers who worked for themselves feel comfortable and proud.

It was the worst decision he has made in the last twenty years!

Ma Dai originally did not dare to set up an ambush in the enemy's camp, but later the sentry cavalry reported that Liu Bei actually ran to the south bank of the Yellow River to fight...... According to Yang Feng, only the soldiers and horses of the Liang State north of the Yellow River could cross the river and go south to encroach on the fields.

Han Wenyue is a general under his command, and Qiang is handsome Zhang Heng.

Today's Liangguo generals are huge, and they are no longer like the more than ten years that Ma Yue struggled, a group of old brothers sat together all day long, eating meat and drinking wine, and went to death to share wealth and wealth. Ma Dai and Zhang Heng had no personal relationship, but this did not prevent Ma Dai from thanking him.

Whether Zhang Heng is greedy or stupid, Ma Dai doesn't care about that.

What he cared about was that Zhang Heng went south like this, which made him see the hope of defeating Liu Bei.

Liu Bei is worthy of being a battlefield veteran, the simple construction of the camp is very disciplined, the zigzag camp north and south each have two camps that can accommodate 10,000 people, and in the middle is a large camp, five camps can station 70,000 troops. It is worth mentioning that Liu Bei's camp is for defense on all sides, but the camp inside is open for attack.

Obviously, Liu Bei knew the tactics that the people of Liangzhou liked, and rushed into the camp after him, most of the time the Liangguo army preferred to pass through the camp, but if Ma Dai rashly attacked such a five-part camp...... Penetrating the two camps, deliberately letting them in in front, it is definitely not easy for them to penetrate in front of the 30,000 Chinese army, and then they will face an attack from all sides by 70,000 troops at the same time.

I couldn't advance or retreat for a while, and it was extremely terrifying.

The old man who has fought for half his life, which one will be a mediocre hand?

It's a pity that this camp made a wedding dress for Ma Dai.

The soldiers and horses of the Liang State rushed in, set up wooden nails and iron clusters at the intersection of the second battalion in the north and south, accompanied by pit pillars, and then set up an ambush between the middle camp and the second battalion in the south.

Externally, Ma Dai also left a cavalry behind the 2nd Southern Battalion, waiting for an opportunity.

For Ma Dai, this is already all ready, just wait for Liu Bei to lead the army back.

And so on, until twilight was approaching.

Fortunately, the torrential rain never stopped, which increased Ma Daijun's energy on maintaining the trap, but also reduced Liu Beijun's chances of discovering the trap.

Through the heavy rain, Ma Dai leaned against the wooden fence in the east of the camp with his hat and looked far away.

Faintly, he saw a figure longing out of the rain.

"Tired traveler, it's time to go home...... Take a sip of warm soup and eat a bowl of mutton? ”

Ma Dai buckled his hat, took his steed and slowly paced back, and the rain fell on the saddle of the steed, breaking into multiple petals and splashing on his face.

That cold and unforgiving face.

He knew it in his heart.

He knew very well that this tired army would not get anything, no warm soup, no mutton...... They will have nothing but scimitars and spears of the Liangguo, and they will have nothing but their dying wails.

When they see the last scene before they die, it will be the smirk of the descendants of the Ma family!

Kill the people of Liangzhou...... But there will be retribution!

The camp was set up and woke up the houses in the heavy rain, which was tiring enough for the Jingzhou army to fight with the Qiang army or travel through the torrential rain, and the two armies were the first to settle in the second battalion in the north, while most of the rest returned to the central and southern battalions respectively.

They longed for a quiet night after the first break of heavy rain, and they could let their heads pillow on the sword dream of a good year in Jingzhou, dreaming of the peach blossoms that never bloomed in Xiangyang and the face of a beautiful lady behind the pink leaves.

But those who wanted, didn't.

Thousands of strong bows in the camp baptized them, and the sound of Liangzhou's crossbows even overshadowed the heavy rain from the sky, like thunder!
