Chapter 144 was calculated

"What?" Li Wanqing was taken aback, "Where did the thief soldiers get so many troops?" As far as his subordinates know, there are more than 50,000 people under Wu Yangui's command, and they have taken out so many troops to copy our back road, so what will Suide, Qingjian, Ganquan and Ansai guard? ”

Tiemo sighed helplessly, "Wanqing, you're right, Wu Yangui can't have tens of thousands of extra soldiers and horses out of thin air, so, if I'm not mistaken, now in addition to Yan'an Mansion is really heavily guarded, it is estimated that there are only a small number of thieves stationed in Ganquan, Ansai and other places, and there are high-ranking people among the thieves, who have set up a few empty cities for us." ”

"Mother's ......" The more Li Wanqing thought about it, the more unwilling he became, and he gave up the victory to the mouth.

Half an hour later, Zhang Bei's soldiers and horses retreated eastward in turn under the orders of the generals of various departments, and even Zhou Dingshan, who was holding Yuan Ma to death, also retreated.

Seeing Zhang Bei's soldiers and horses go away, after Yuan Ma fled back to Mizhi City, he sat by the wall and shouted for his fate. is really worthy of being the living Hades, if it weren't for his cleverness, he would have been hacked to death by the living Hades.

......

Sanchuan River!

At this time, it was already a killing sound, and on the thick ice, there was a black and oppressive figure. Cao Bianjiao let the crossbowmen live on the bank and block the river, although it caused great damage to the thieves who crossed the river, but the number of thieves was too many. The Sanchuan River is very long, and there are many places suitable for crossing the river, and when the thieves change places to cross the river, the troops in Cao Bianjiao's hands are somewhat insufficient.

Cao Bianjiao racked his brains, thinking about how to delay time, and the thieves on the other side were not comfortable.

A burly man was secretly distressed, this person was Li Yangchun, the first fierce general under Wu Yangui's command, the Four Heavenly Kings. For this plan, but after planning for a long time, the temptation of the enemy and the suspicious soldiers before was very smooth, and it looked like it was about to succeed, but there was a problem in the last link.

As long as the Sanchuan River is crossed and blocked to the east of Wubao, the officers and soldiers of the three towns will have to shed their skin even if they do not die. Li Yangchun dreamed that he wanted to hit the soldiers and horses of these three towns hard.

The imperial court sent troops into Shaanxi this time, and it seemed that there were soldiers and horses from all walks of life, and there were many generals, but in fact, the real threat was still the soldiers and horses of Xuanfu, Datong Mansion and the three towns of Liaodong. As for the border armies of Suide, Ningxia, and Guyuan, due to the lack of food and salary all year round, the morale of the army was unstable, and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. As long as the soldiers and horses of the three towns of Xuanfu are severely damaged, other officers and soldiers do not have to worry.

He came to the Sanchuan River with confidence, but halfway through the river, he was suddenly attacked by officers and soldiers. Li Yangchun couldn't figure out why the officers and soldiers were ambushed in the Sanchuan River, since they couldn't smuggle in, they would cross it by force, the Sanchuan River was so long, and the officers and soldiers could still scatter beans into soldiers and fortify everywhere?

Li Yangchun dispersed his forces and crossed the river from more than a dozen positions, and soon, several soldiers and horses crossed the Sanchuan River. After the thieves who crossed the river were assembled, they were not busy advancing, but rushed towards Cao Bianjiao's soldiers and horses.

The thieves swarmed in, and they had to prevent the frontal thieves from crossing the river, and Cao Bianjiao suddenly doubled the pressure.

If he really opened up the formation and fought with real knives and guns, even if he was five times as many thieves as himself, Cao Bianjiao might not be afraid. But now, in order to prevent the thieves from crossing the river, the troops are too scattered.

Continued to stay by the river to block the attack, and sooner or later he was wrapped in dumplings. Cao Bianjiao immediately made a decision and ordered all the troops to abandon the river bank and assemble on the high slope not far from the Sanchuan River, intending to hold the only junction. However, Li Yangchun is not good at stubble, what Cao Bianjiao can think of, Li Yangchun also thinks of it. Before Cao Bianjiao could set up a position on the high slope, a gust of wind Wang Yan's soldiers and horses killed him from the front of the side.

Wang Yan shouted a gust of wind, it was not in vain, and his marching speed was quite set. The oblique thorn was inserted, and such a stirring made Cao Bianjiao irritable. After Li Yangchun's main force crossed the river, he pressed it directly, and he had the posture of swallowing Cao Bianjiao's soldiers and horses in one gulp. Now that there are only half of the remnants left under Cao Bianjiao's command, how can he resist it?

Fortunately, Lou Daji led reinforcements to arrive and joined forces with Cao Bianjiao's soldiers and horses, so that Li Yangchun could be blocked back.

By the time the battle reached the end of the battle, the sun had set, and the Sanchuan River had turned into a sea of blood, with corpses everywhere. In this battle, neither side reaped the benefits, but relatively speaking, the losses of the soldiers and horses of the three towns were even heavier.

The soldiers and horses of the Three Towns care most about the troops, and the thieves don't care about the troops the most.

The elite of the border army, from recruitment to training, has not been able to fight a tough battle in half a year. But the thieves are different, if they lose 10,000, they can pull 20,000 people in turn.

After knowing that he had missed the opportunity, Li Yangchun also began to die down. The officers and soldiers did not dare to pursue and began to retreat to Fort Wu to lick their wounds.

Afterwards, after statistics, the soldiers and horses of the three towns lost more than 3,000 people in one day, especially the soldiers and horses of Liaodong Town, because they were the main force blocking the Sanchuan River, and the losses were the heaviest. In contrast, Zhang Bei's soldiers and horses, who were responsible for storming Mizhi and fighting against Yuan Ma, became the ones with the least losses.

In the room, the faces of the three main generals, Cao Wenzhao, Lou Daji, and Tiemo, were extremely pale. In fact, from the very beginning, they didn't take the thieves seriously, and felt that with the combat power of the border army of the three towns, it would be easy to defeat the thieves.

If it weren't for this kind of thought, he wouldn't have come up with a plan to severely damage the thieves in the territory of Mizhi. The idea is very good, but the reality slapped the three of them hard.

If it weren't for Ruan Sangou's coincidence, the soldiers and horses of the three towns would not have lost 3,000 people. Once the thieves are allowed to go around to the east of Fort Wu and block the way back, in order to keep the soldiers and horses of Tiemo, in order to break through, the soldiers and horses of the three towns will not die and will lose their skin, and they will definitely lose their combat effectiveness completely.

The more Cao Wenzhao thought about it, the more frightened he became, and gradually felt a little self-blame. This time's battle plan is the meaning of his Cao Wenzhao, and Tiemo and Lou Daji are cooperating.

Tie Mo saw the look on Cao Wenzhao's face, and said softly: "Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and General Cao doesn't have to blame himself." This time, we underestimated the enemy, but judging by the careful planning of the thieves, we were not unjustly defeated. ”

Lou Daji smiled bitterly and nodded, agreeing with Tiemo's opinion. Is it unjust? It's really not wronged at all.

The thieves set up a few empty cities and forcibly crossed the Sanchuan River, which must have been a plan that had been made a long time ago. If you wait until Mizhi City starts to fight, and then gather troops and horses, not to mention whether the time is too late, concealment alone is a big problem. Do you want to gather troops and horses under the noses of officers and soldiers and dream?

In other words, the thieves were ready before the officers and soldiers came to Fort Wu. In other words, from the very beginning, some of the thieves expected that the officers and soldiers would definitely attack Mizhi City first.

It can be said that every move of the soldiers and horses of the three towns is in the calculations of others, and the only variable is Ruan Sangou. In a way, I also want to thank Nunu, Nunu is really a lucky star, if she hadn't made such a fuss, there would have been nothing wrong with Ruan Sangou.

Cao Wenzhao turned the teacup in front of him, and the sorrow on his brows lingered for a long time, "There is a capable person among the thieves, but I don't know who this person is!" ”

"Yes, such a capable person, it's a pity to be a thief!" Lou Daji sighed, "What should we do next?" ”

Cao Wenzhao and Tie Mo glanced at each other, and after a while, the corners of Cao Wenzhao's mouth curled, "Cao thinks that at this time, you should attack Mizhi, and General Tie and Cao Mou thought of one place, right?" ”
