Chapter 148: The Combat Effectiveness of the Ninth Legion
Zhang Guang's purpose was to arouse the morale of these Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and he agreed at the moment: "Okay, if there are Qiang people on the road, I will hand it over to you Ma Chao, but we have to fight quickly, and we don't have a lot of time to wait slowly." β
"Understand, warriors of Xiliang, set off with me." Ma Chao took the lead and took the lead out of Linjing City.
The Qiang forces in the north did not appear in the chaos that Zhang Guang feared.
As soon as Ma Chao led Pang Rou and Pang De to appear, whether it was Ma Teng's former subordinates or small tribal forces in various places, they all put down their weapons and surrendered.
Zhang Guang decided that all the small forces that had come over from Toucheng would be dismissed on the spot.
Whether you are a straggler, or a small force with amazing combat effectiveness, all of them will be dismissed, and those who are unwilling to be dismissed will be wiped out directly.
There is no time and energy to go nonsense with them.
Along the foot of the Beidi Baiyu Mountain (later Yanchi County) to the east, they entered the upper county and camped in a valley less than 100 miles away from the Luguan Ridge, where Luziguan was located.
Gan Ning led a platoon of special operations soldiers out of the station, and the next day, one person returned to the station.
"Lord, Yuan Shao brought more than 200,000 people, more than 100,000 people are still attacking Luzi Pass, and more than 100,000 people have gone north and stationed in Shangjun to govern Fushi."
"Yuan Shao going north? What is this trying to do? Zhang Guang asked.
"The Southern Huns Huchuquan Shan Yu led the troops south and captured Qiuzi, Yuan Shao should have led the troops to negotiate with Huchuquan."
"Hu Chuquan went south, he must have obtained the matter of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's joint army attacking Guanzhong, and I want to get a piece of the pie."
"Lord, what should I do?" All the generals present looked at Zhang Guang.
The Southern Xiongnu called Chuquan Shan Yu to lead the troops south, this is a rare opportunity, if 60,000 people suddenly come out of the rear, Yuan Shao's 100,000 people left in Luzi Pass will definitely die.
"Gan Ning, have you gotten in touch with Pang Tong?"
"Not yet, the north side of the Luguan Collar is full of Yuan Shao's people, and I left a squad over there to look for a path that can quietly enter Luzi Pass." Gan Ning replied.
"Very good, even if Pang Tong can't be contacted, as long as our side moves, he will definitely know what to do."
Zhang Guang asked Gan Ning to spread out the map of Shangjun, looked around, and began to pace habitually.
"Tai Shici, the people you lead the bow and arrow department are ambushing here, if Yuan Shao comes to Luziguan from Fushi, he will definitely go here." Zhang Guang pointed to a gentle river valley in the upper reaches of Pingshui and said.
"Okay, I'll go."
"Wait a minute, your bow and arrow department is suitable for long-range attacks and fights, and is not good at holding on, Zhang Liao, you will hand over the five thousand soldiers of the Special Operations Department to Gan Ning, and lead the five thousand elites recruited by Anding County to ambush with Tai Shici."
After Tai Shici and Zhang Liao left, Zhang Guang asked everyone to have a good night's rest, not only to eat themselves, but also to feed the war horses, and to attack Luziguan early tomorrow morning to prepare for a fierce battle.
The next day, a biting cold wind blew on Bai Yu Mountain, carrying ice particles.
Yuan Shao's skin Shi began to flutter snowflakes.
Yuan Shao was happy, but also a little worried.
I am happy because I reached a covenant with Hu Chuquan Shan Yu.
After Yuan Shao invaded Guanzhong, he sent 1,000 horses and 100,000 grains to the Southern Huns.
The worry is that there is still no news from Ma Teng's side.
Now that it is snowing, it is more difficult to attack Luzi Pass and Tongguan Pass.
This time the alliance can only rely on the Xiliang coalition army that occupies Longguan, Sanguan and other passes.
It stands to reason that after Ma Teng's hundreds of thousands of Xiliang coalition troops left Longguan, as long as they captured Chencang, it would be a horse Pingchuan, and they should have arrived in Chang'an City long ago.
Yuan Shao made great efforts to attack Zhang Guang's Guanzhong this time.
Koyi is still besieging Gongsun Chan in Yijing.
Chun Yuqiong and others were stationed in Jizhou and Qingzhou to prevent Cao Cao, LΓΌ Bu and Liu Bei from breaking the alliance and sending troops to attack their own territory.
Yuan Shao and Wen Chou led more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, entered the upper county of the state, and led tens of thousands of high-ranking cadres of the state, together with more than 200,000 soldiers and horses to besiege Luzi Pass.
Hu Chuquan Shan then signed an alliance, but Yuan Shao still wanted to guard against it, and personally led 50,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Fushi.
Wen Chou led the rest of the soldiers to the south again and went to help Gao Gan attack Luzi Pass.
Not long after Wen Chou came out of the skin, a high-ranking cadre came down to report that the high-ranking cadres who attacked Luziguan were besieged from behind by more than 100,000 people.
"You quickly go to Fu Shi and report this matter to the lord, and I will lead the army to reinforce the senior cadres."
Wen Chou led the army in a hurry, but was blocked by Tai Shici and Zhang Liao by the Pingshui River.
Zhang Liao dug a criss-cross trench on the slope of the valley by the river, hid in the ditch and did not come out, only using a bow and arrow to stop Wen Chou from moving forward.
Wen Chou summoned most of the scouts of his subordinates and asked, "Is there any other way to Luzi Pass?"
"Yes, but you have to make a hundred detours."
"It's too late, go to Fushi, tell the lord about the situation here, and let him rush to Luziguan directly from another way."
As soon as Wen Chou's words fell, a scout came on horseback, and it was sent by Yuan Shao.
"General Wen, the lord decrees, Fu Shi must not be lost, he must be stationed in Fu Shi, so you should hurry up and rush to Luzi Pass for reinforcements."
"Reinforcements, reinforcements, they are nesting in the shells of turtles on the hillside like turtles, and I will fly over?"
Wen Chou was blocked by the Pingshui River, and Zhang Guangqin led the soldiers and Gao Gan to fight together.
Only then did Ma Chao and others truly see the real combat effectiveness of Zhang Guang's subordinates.
Besieging Chencang, in the north of the city, Zhang Guang used a big oil cloth to add fire to attack Ma Chao, Ma Chao felt that it was because Zhang Guang occupied the convenience of the terrain and added the yin trick of fire attack to win himself.
From beginning to end, Zhang Guang was stubborn, and there was no real head-to-head battle.
In Ma Chao's heart, the reason why Zhang Guang was able to win was because of his strategy and the contempt of the Xiliang Coalition Army for the Ninth Army.
In the real battle, Ma Chao still disagreed with Zhang Guang and the Ninth Legion.
Now fighting against Gao Gan, Ma Chao, Pang Rou and Pang De have truly understood what wolf-like combat effectiveness is.
Zhang Guang sat down under Long Jiu and took the lead.
Dian Wei, as the first fierce general of Zhang Guang's subordinates, did not ride a war horse and followed Zhang Guang on foot.
A spear, coupled with Dian Wei's double iron sword, was like entering a no-man's land, and went straight to Gao Gan, the main general of the Yuan army.
Gan Ning's special operations department, with a long sword in one hand and a crossbow in the other, followed closely behind Zhang Guang and Dian Wei, and drove straight in.
Zhang Yan's Montenegrin army, giving up defense, with all spears in hand, rushed to kill in three ways, and forcibly divided Yuan's army into three.
Ma Chao, Pang Rou, and Pang De, although young, are also battle-hardened veterans, and they each led their troops into a Yuan army.
The Ninth Army Corps and the high-ranking cadres of the Yuan Army fought together on the slopes of Luguan Ridge.
(The battle for the defense of Guanzhong will end immediately, and Zhang Daxian will start the Northwest King mode.) οΌ
