Chapter 368: Capturing Sima Ju Alive
Xu He on the mountain saw a scene that he will never forget.
However, the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry of a thousand horsemen broke through the 3,000 spear array they had arranged in the mountain pass with just one charge, and then stepped on several defensive lines in a row, breaking through most of the encirclement in a blink of an eye, and the entire battlefield was in chaos.
Then, Ma Qiang's military formation began to fight back, and a series of chain reactions turned the ambush soldiers he laid into routs in an instant.
"Quick! Immediately give the order, and answer Sima Qushuai to retreat, quickly!! ”
The defeat was like a mountain, and Xu He knew that his subordinates could only fight a good battle, so he immediately ordered the whole army to retreat.
The sound of gold sounded from the earthquake mountain, and Hua Xiong shouted loudly, "If you want to reward money, follow Lao Tzu, catch the thief, and you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life!" ”
Hua Xiong brandished a broadsword and led the cavalry to chase after Sima Ju.
Ma Qiang looked at the Yellow Turban Army that had fled in all directions, and couldn't help frowning, "Wenhe, the commander of the thief army is so decisive, when he sees that the situation is not good, he turns his head and runs, if such a person can't be quickly annihilated and become a rogue, I'm afraid Qingzhou will not be at peace in the future." ”
Jia Xu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Ming Gong, unless they can be decisive enough to survive with a broken arm, there are 600,000 people as a burden, and they can't run." ”
Sima Ju ran out of the mountain with the sergeant, and when he saw Hua Xiong chasing after him, he pulled his bow and shot, Hua Xiong saw it clearly, cut the arrows with a knife, and then smiled and said, "Sima thief, you dare to be ugly with such archery?" Look at my Hua's archery! ”
Sima Ju only heard a bowstring, and then the war horse jumped violently, he couldn't sit still and slid down, and then looked at the mount that had fallen to the side, an arrow had been stuck in his buttocks, and he was crying in pain.
"Qu Shuai, let's go!" The surrounding sergeants hurriedly stepped forward to answer, helping Sima Ju to continue running, Hua Xiong swung his knife to kill, slashed the sergeant on the side with a knife, and slashed Huashan with a blow to Sima Ju.
Sima Ju hurriedly rolled around a lazy donkey, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Hua Xiong's big knife was already on his neck.
Hua Xiong laughed and said, "Lao Tzu has been staring at you for a long time, and our brothers will rely on you to eat and drink this year!" Take!! ”
The 50,000 Yellow Turban troops under the Heban Mountain fled for their lives at this time, and they really couldn't catch Ma Qiang's subordinates, and when it was dark, the battalions counted them, and the number of battles and captures was only 20,000.
Seeing Sima Ju who was escorted in front of him, Ma Qiang took a closer look, and saw Sima Ju holding his head high, looking unconvinced, and got out of the car and asked, "Sima Ju, do you know this thing?" ”
Sima Ju looked down, his eyes shrank suddenly, and he had a ghostly expression, and shouted, "Why is this thing here?" ”
Ma Qiang took back the Yellow Turban Token, and secretly sighed in his heart, fortunately, this one has been educated by Zhang Jiao, which is much easier.
"Ma Qiang! How dare you forcibly seize the relics of the great sage and good teacher! Our Taiping brothers won't spare you! You don't have to die well! Come to a sticky end!! ”
Sima Ju thought that this token was snatched by Ma Qiang from Zhang Jiao, and scolded loudly, squirting saliva three feet away, making Ma Qiang wash his good face.
Ma Qiang hurriedly dodged, who are these people.
"This was given to me by Zhang Jiao, believe it or not!" Ma Qiang wiped his face with his sleeve, and his forehead... It stinks... This guy must not have brushed his teeth properly.
"How is that possible?"
"How could it not be? Zhang Jiao wants to create a peaceful world, you look at my plain, although I dare not say that it is perfect, but it is much better than the place you occupy, right?
The details of this matter, when I get back and let you see a few people, you will understand, come on, take it down! ”
After Sima Ju was escorted down, Ma Qiang encouraged Hua Xiong a few more words, and then looked at Tai Shici, who was sweating profusely.
"Ziyi, how did you feel about the first battle of the Xuanjia Iron Cavalry?"
Tai Shi Ci arched his hand and said, "Hui Ming Gong, the Xuanjia cavalry is extremely powerful, but the training is not easy, and good horses are hard to find, and the last general thinks that if the enemy army is in strict formation, use more spears and crossbows, and the Xuanjia cavalry is quite restricted." ”
Ma Qiang nodded, feeling that it was very rare for Tai Shici to see failure from success.
And the heavy cavalry did begin to be gradually eliminated after Song Liao, especially in the face of firearms, there is no difference between heavy cavalry and light cavalry, and there is no defensive advantage, but there is more disadvantage of low speed, which is simply a live target.
But this does not completely negate the significance of heavy cavalry, for an army that lacks armor-piercing long-range attack ability and strict training, heavy cavalry is an inexplicable type of troops.
"Indeed, it is very rare for Ziyi to see it, but if the thief army is chaotic, the Xuanjia cavalry can be as decisive as today, and in the future, if you lead the Xuanjia to battle, if you see the enemy army in strict order, you can advance and retreat on your own without following the military order!"
"No!"
"Okay, send a report to Licheng, let Zilong and them rest at ease, and then our army will block the grain and grass logistics of the thief army according to the original plan!"
"No!" The crowd answered.
- Licheng
"Good news from Ming Gong!" The communication soldier handed the telegram to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun opened it and looked at it, and immediately smiled and said, "It's really a big victory!" Ming Gong broke the Yellow Turban thief army at the foot of Heban Mountain, captured the thief leader Sima Ju alive, broke 50,000 enemies, and killed and captured no less than 20,000!
Ming Gong said that he asked me to wait for a good life to hold this place, and when he cut off the thief army's grain route from Taixian County and Dongpingling, it won't be long before the thief army will be in chaos! ”
Lin Hai took the telegram and looked at it, and then said with a smile, "Wow, I think it's better to spread this news throughout the city, and shoot it into the thief army outside the city in the form of an arrow book, so as to boost the morale of our army and defeat the majesty of the thief army!" ”
Zhao Yun touched his short beard and nodded, "This plan is good, and maybe it can have other effects!" ”
"Anything else?" Lin Hai looked at Zhao Yun incomprehensibly.
Zhao Yun nodded, but did not say what he meant by his words.
....
"Good news! Good news! Ma Pingyuan's big thief army is at the foot of Heban Mountain, capturing Sima Ju alive, and will soon encircle and annihilate the thief army outside the city! Come and see! Good news! Good news!! ”
Zhao Yun asked hundreds of copies of the telegram to be copied on paper, distributed everywhere in Licheng, and asked the sergeant to shoot arrows in the Yellow Turban Army camp outside the city.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Wang Bao patted his forehead and said happily, "Thanks to the virtuous brother, otherwise, after listening to the words of the mediocre master, this year will probably be our death date!" ”
Wang Weng looked at the good news he received, and sighed, "The Plains Army is really extraordinary, and they captured Sima Ju alive as soon as they made a move, brother, I think it's time for us to do it, otherwise it will be too late, and it won't reflect the sincerity of our waiting." ”
Wang Bao said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes... However, after all, Na Jiaohe is our master, and if we want to do it, I am afraid that in the future..."
Betrayal is hated in any era, after all, many things, as long as you have done it, will become more and more comfortable next time.
"We can't do it, but we can let people do it!" Wang Weng snorted, already having a plan in his heart.
