Chapter Forty-Seven: Shooting Left and Right
On the boundary of Yin in Henan, Li Dao and the 600 brothers who retreated gathered here, and the county government did not let them enter the city, so they had to wander between the mountains and fields, without food.
The warriors of Tugehu and the Southern Xiongnu fought fiercely and had nothing to say, and once they were defeated, they would be defeated...... Many people don't even know the language, and a single Han officer may not be able to protect ten subordinates, let alone an army of thousands.
When Ma Yue arrived in Yin, Henan with an army of more than 5,000 people, he sent a horse to find the remnants of Li Wei, and saw the worst Liangzhou army in his life on Yincheng, Henan.
Throwing away armor is light.
After some washing, Li Dao walked out of the administrative center wearing a cloth robe with his head down, and the general of the defeated army drooped his head, losing a little of his former sharpness.
"Brother Li doesn't have to be like this, what is the current situation of the thief army, can there be a siege of the city and the county?"
Ma Yue waved his hand to let Li Dao sit down, there were many generals on both sides in the hall, Ma Yue was all mighty and sharp, Dong Zhuo was only Hua Xiong with an arrogant face, and the rest such as Li Dao, Fan Chou and others were like frosted eggplants. will be the courage of the army, if even the generals are beaten and convinced, where will the soldiers fight to the death?
The military heart is not available!
Ma Yue shook his head a little irritably, and said: "Brothers, you don't have to be so frustrated, the incident happened suddenly, it doesn't hurt to have a defeat with mental calculation or unintentionality, I remember that Brother Zhong Zeng Yun Xuanyuan was stationed in more than three thousand, and now there are only these six hundred?" ”
In two days, the same forces fought several times to kill four of them, this Sun Jian is simply a ghost god of killing.
"It should be more than that, today's subordinates stationed in Henan Yin have sent people to scatter around to collect soldiers and horses, and they should be able to collect five hundred." Li Dao arched his hand and said: "The scouts have also reported the news one after another, and as far as their subordinates know, their troops are stationed with the Hou clan and the Yan Division, and they will no longer advance westward. ”
Li Wei got up and walked two steps, the ground was covered with a map of Si Li, he lay on the east of Luoyang and said: "General, please look, Yanshi, Hou, and Xuanyuan Pass are connected in a line from north to south, and their intervals are only more than ten miles. And at present, the traitors have set up a deep ditch and a high fortress, and they look like they want to defend the high city, but the three places are of little importance. ”
"Therefore." Li Wei raised his head and said conclusively: "His subordinates have concluded that Sun Jian must have reinforcements, and he is delaying time!" ”
"It's hard to say, Sun Jian is well versed in the art of war, and what we see may be an illusion." While Ma Yue was frowning and thinking, Guan Yu asked out loud: "Li Junhou, can you find out where the enemy's supplies and baggage are shipped from?" ”
"Well, it's already been discovered." Li Wei pointed to the map and said: "From the south to the north, it is sent from Xuanyuan Pass, but the number of baggage is not large, and it is not able to support more than 5,000 troops......"
"Just go from south to north!" Ma Yue clapped his palms and said: "There is still a Yuan Shu in Nanyang, and Wang Kuang Baoxin and others who retreated to Xuanyuan Pass before are still nowhere to be seen, I am afraid that they have joined forces together, so in this way, Sun Jian should really plan to defend the three cities of the Yanshi Hou family, Brother Li, and sprinkle the scouts out of thirty miles, staring at the Taigu Pass in the south, the whole army made food, and after an hour the camp marched eastward. ”
There are more than 100 people, and the shape is **. There are more than a thousand people, and the earth is torn to the sky.
More than 5,000 soldiers and horses opened, the mighty spread out more than one stand, there was a long march of the Xiyuan Army, Guan Yu in front of Xu Huang in the back, left Gan Ning right Huaxiong, Ma Yue and Zhao Jin to guard the Chinese army each led a thousand people, towards Hou Shi Wu slowly.
Sun Jian is not in a hurry, and Ma Yue can't let himself be anxious.
Xuanyuan Pass is one of the eight passes, easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention that it is easy to be attacked before and after, and it is not within the scope of attack.
Yanshi City is also a high-walled fortress, which is difficult to break, and the easiest to attack at the moment is Hou Shiwu.
It's just that Ma Yue couldn't figure out why Sun Jian would divide his troops into Shuangcheng, even if he looked at the horns, after all, his troops were small, and the whole army was not able to defeat Ma Yue's army, but he still divided his troops...... There must be something wrong with this.
It can be said that Sun Jian was luring Ma Yue to attack him.
"General, general, drink ... Drink..."The cavalry trousers on the horse were worn out by the horseback, and the horse fell off the horse in front of Ma Yue, pointing to the south and panting: "Tai, Taigu Pass, Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses played the banner, four or five thousand people, horses and thousands of horses, the front went north, and marched in a hurry!" ”
Yuan Shu, still popped out! Ma Yue looked around and left, this is not a suitable place to set up an ambush, and hurriedly ordered Gan Ning and Hua Xiong to lead their troops to retreat to the east and west of the hill where they had just passed, and he led the three armies to the north and released Tanma for ten miles.
Always monitor Yuan Shujun's movements.
It is no wonder that Yuan Shu will be able to become a prince in the future, and this person who is in charge of Nanyang alone has gathered 5,000 troops, including a thousand horses, and he is also a talented person.
It's a pity that this man always has a grudge against himself.
Ma Yue instructed the sergeant to deliberately break up the retreating formation, and the banner was dragged to the ground, and from a distance, there was a group of rabble. It's just that his actions made Li Dao, who was following him, look gloomy...... This is how their soldiers retreated.
It deserves to be defeated.
Li Jice followed Ma Yue's side, looking at the military appearance of the Xiyuan Army pulled up by Liu Hong, the first emperor of Luoyang, in fact, before the war began the day before yesterday, he never thought that these pampered soldiers in Luoyang could play a role in the big war, but now, his thoughts were completely different. They coveted the tenacious will and strong physique of the Tugehu and the Southern Xiongnu when they rebelled in Bingzhou, and absorbed a large number of Hu prisoners in the strictly disciplined Liangzhou army.
The biggest mistake they made was to pull these Hu tribes into the battlefield without training the whole army, an unexpected surprise attack, they were the first to mess up, and the retreat came miserably, and countless good men in Liangzhou hated the battlefield because they did not have robes around them to lend a helping hand, more than 2,000 people...... How happy Sun Jian's victory was, how resentful Li Dao was in his heart.
"General, Yuan Shu has sent a vanguard cavalry to five miles away, and if there is another stick of incense, it will catch up with the rear army!"
"I'm afraid he won't come!" Ma Yue's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and Le Ma asked, "Where is the main force of Yuan Shu?" ”
There is a cloud in the art of war, and if you fight for profit for thirty miles, you will be two-thirds of it. What's more, Yuan Shu divided his troops and pioneered at a gallop!
Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu, I'm afraid you've fallen into my trap. At this time, Ma Yue could barely contain the smile on his face, and he seemed to have seen a big victory just around the corner.
"Back to the general, the main force of the Yuan army is still fifteen miles away, carrying heavy equipment and rushing in!"
"Good, good, good!" Ma Yue clapped his finger and pointed to a high ground on the hill of Yichuan Valley and shouted: "The Chinese army is here, take the flag and hide behind the mountain, and wait for the Yuan Shu vanguard to come, Brother Li, please send Hu soldiers to guard General Guan's flank, and wait for the Yuan army vanguard to gallop to confront each other with cavalry, and fight and retreat!" ”
Li Wei didn't expect that Ma Yue would be given a chance to be ashamed of himself when he suffered a big defeat, so he immediately excitedly hugged his fists and promised, turned over and rode his horse to lead the remaining more than 600 Hu horsemen with bows and rushed towards the front army.
"Order General Guan, don't fall in love with the battle, retreat after a short battle, deal with it with a strong bow, lure the enemy here, don't mess up."
"No!"
A moment later, the Ma Yue Chinese army had disappeared behind the hill, and the left and right armies also lay in ambush under the flanks, just waiting for Guan Yu to lead the enemy into death.
At this moment, it was Yu She, a brave general whom Yuan Shu met in Nanyang, who supervised the attack on Luoyang.
Playing for the Yuan family for the first time, the reckless brave general was very agitated in his heart, all because of his opponent, Ma Yue, who was famous for his courage and power all over the world!
"Captain, let's slow down the march and wait for the Taishou to lead the army to advance together, although the thieves steal the temple, after all, they are the generals of the battlefield, and it is unusual to retreat without a fight this time!" Sima Zhang Xun beside Yu Shi frowned, and said to Yu She, who was in a hurry: "The general should not underestimate Ma Yue. ”
"Has Dong Zhuo also been known for a long time?" Yu Sheqing held a long knife, suddenly reined in the horse and turned his head and asked: "It's not that Sun Jian was killed by three surprise attacks, Brother Zhang and look at the underground footprints and horses' hooves are disorganized, it must be Sun Jian's first battle that makes him frightened, we can't let that Sun Jian and outsiders take the lead, and we want to fight for Gongzi!" ”
"This footprint...... It's disorganized nicely. Zhang Xun persuaded Yu She, he has high ability, and he has a reputation for courage in Nanyang, and some conceited Zhang Xun can also understand, in fact, he can't see whether Ma Yue's retreat on this road is fraudulent, but he is a little uneasy in his heart after all, "In the battle of Continental Ze, Ma Yue chased and killed Zhang Liang for ten miles on a single horse. In the battle of Xingyang, a suspicious array was laid to disturb the thieves, and the thieves were taken under the head of the thieves in the middle of the chaotic battle. It's very cunning, and the captain is still careful. ”
"Brother Zhang, don't worry too much, if Ma Yue is really strategic, my brother can retreat with his army, and a certain head will be guilty of recklessness." is also a brave general from a reckless background, Yu Shi has a consciousness of hanging his head on his waist, and said with a long laugh: "If Ma Yue is really out of breath, Yong Xun back then, Yu will take the head of the Yuan Mansion!" ”
"Brother Zhang, don't say more, the whole army obeys the order, bites their buttocks, and makes them tired, I don't believe that two legs can be easier than four legs!"
Yu Shi gave an order, and the two thousand paces roared, closely following the billowing smoke and dust a few miles away.
After chasing a mile, Yu Shi saw that there were fewer footprints on the ground, and when he was frowning forward, he saw a horse running back in front of him, and asked the guards: "It's just in time, why are there fewer steps?" Spill the scout and probe again! ”
"Captain, in front, the enemy army in front of him rushed out hundreds of horsemen left and right, galloped left and right, killed and injured many Tanma brothers, covered the retreat of the rear army, and no more scouts can be sent!"
"Hu Qi?" Yu Shele Ma raised the knife and said with a smile: "Ma Yue is only a rat, he doesn't dare to fight, he sent troops just to rescue these hundreds of Yi tribes, hum, how terrible is Hu Qi?" The three thousand Hu cavalry were not killed by Sun Bofu and lost their armor! Passing the order, beheading the one who captures the flag, the Yuan family never hesitates to reward, and on the day of victory, a certain general will set up a wine to celebrate! The cavalry covered left and right to disperse the Hu cavalry, and the foot soldiers charged with me, crushing them, and before evening, we waited to attack Henan Yin! ”
"Kill!"
Under the banner of the Yuan clan, the wolf-like foot soldiers launched a charge at the last mile distance, and the cavalry on both sides galloped up like flowing water to meet the rain of arrows from Hu Cai!
