Chapter Ninety-Three: The Letter
Wei Qing smiled: "We can't do it ourselves, but we can ask General Wu and Da Sima for help." ”
Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, laughing out loud, only feeling that it was too refreshing to fight with Wei Qing. He immediately turned over his horse and gave orders one after another, first sending cavalry to rush to the front of the defeated soldiers of the Jin army to stop the defeated soldiers of the Jin army, in case they first reported the news of the defeat to the main force of the Jin army, and then ordered to pick up the banner and clothing of the Jin army, reorganize the team, and go to the main camp of the Jin army. But he was a little embarrassed about the next task, and he didn't know who to send to inform Wu Ming. You must know that this is not simply a report, but also explain their combat intentions, and make General Wu and Da Sima believe and act immediately.
"I'll go." Bai Buxin had been following him on the side, and when he saw Ma Chao's order halfway down, he suddenly fell silent, thought about the known reason, and took the initiative to ask for an order at the moment.
"Good!" Ma Chao was very happy to see that he didn't believe in the order. He has always admired Bai Buxin's ability.
"I'll go too!" Someone shouted on the side.
Ma Chao looked sideways, but it was Shi Qian.
Ma Chaoyi frowned: "General Bai Shen has already received the order." ”
"Aren't you going to inform two people?" Shi Qian refused to give up.
Ma Chao was right when he thought about it, he wanted to inform General Wu and Da Sima at the same time, so that Bai Buxin would not say anything if he was tired of running alone, and it was easy to delay the military plane. But he looked at Shi Qian with some hesitation.
Shi Qian misunderstood what Ma Chao meant, and he jumped on the spot easily: "I can still run!" Run fast! ”
Ma Chao shook his head: "I'm not worried about this, but I'm thinking, whether it's General Wu or Da Sima, which one can you persuade?" It turned out that he was worried that Shi Qian's position was low, and he had just enlisted in the army, so he couldn't persuade the two senior generals.
Shi Qian smiled: "Marshal Ma, when Wei Dutong sent me to report to you, I wasn't even a soldier, didn't I persuade you the same?" ”
This is very reasonable, Ma Chao couldn't help but smile, nodded and said: "That's okay, General Bai Shen will go to report to General Wu, you go to report to Da Sima, go and return quickly, don't stay!" ”
"Order!" The two men took the order in unison and hurried away.
"Let's go!" Ma Chao pointed forward with his spear and shouted loudly.
It was already three watches, the moon stars were scarce, the night sky was like a navy blue curtain, dotted with shining stars, the silver moonlight sprinkled on the ground, and there were crickets everywhere. There was still a faint mist in the moonlight, but now the mist had completely dissipated, and the silver moonlight shone on the quietly flowing Nanhe. There is not a single boat on the river, not even a trace of microwaves can be seen, and there is silence everywhere on the banks of the river.
In the midst of this serenity, the soldiers of the third left team hurried forward along the South River. Their task was twofold: first, they had to rush to the front of the defeated soldiers of the Jin army, spread out their formation, and stop these defeated soldiers without missing a beat, and if they could do this, then they could at least buy a few hours of precious time. Even if the main force of the enemy had to contact their right army, as long as it was not an emergency, it would only set off in the morning, that is, as long as the right army of the Jin army did not report, at least before the morning, the possibility of the main force of the Jin army finding that the right army was defeated was very small; The second was to deploy on the flanks of the main force of the Jin army and wait for the main force of the Han army to arrive to launch an attack.
At the fourth watch, the soldiers of the third team on the left arrived about five miles away from the main camp of the Jin Army with sweat. This was a long-distance race, the left army camp of the Jin army and the main camp of the Jin army were twenty-five miles apart, and the Han army of the third team on the left rushed at full speed through the defeated troops of the Jin army and arrived at the attack position first. Ten miles behind them, that is, fifteen miles away from the main camp of the Jin army, Hua Rong with a team of 1,000 people had already spread horizontally to intercept the defeated troops of the Jin army.
"All ------ rest!" Ma Chao gave the order.
The sound of fluttering and tomming was endless, and thousands of Han soldiers sat down on the spot one after another, and even many of them lay down on the spot. This night was really exciting, and it was even more exciting to attack the 250,000-strong Jin Army next, but before playing this heartbeat, you really need to take a break.
At this time, it was the fourth watch, it was the time when people slept the most soundly, the Nanhe River not far away was flowing loudly, and the soft and regular sound of flowing water was even more inspiring people to sleep, but here, thousands of Han soldiers were sweating and panting, just waiting for an order, and they would go into battle.
At about the fourth watch, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, the horse had run to the limit, but the people on the horse were whipped mercilessly, about twenty zhang away from the Han army, the horse could no longer run, and fell to the ground with a light neigh, throwing the people on the horse out. The man flew straight out of Zhang Xu and fell to the ground, rolled on the ground a few times and jumped up, let go of his footsteps and ran all the way, straight towards the Han army.
"It's the White Ginseng General!" Some soldiers exclaimed.
Ma Chao and Wei Qing both rushed to the front, only to see that Bai Buxin's forehead was sweat and blood, it turned out that Fang Cai's fall had already knocked his helmet flying, and his head was bloody, but he ignored it completely, rushed to Ma Chao like crazy and said urgently: "General Wu has done his best to attack the whole army, ten miles away from here, just waiting for General Ma's signal!" ”
Ma Chao was overjoyed, and immediately ordered: "The whole army is in a team, ready to attack!" ”
With a thud, Bai Buxin fell to the ground. He ran wildly all the way, and he really couldn't support it.
Ma Chao and Wei Qing were taken aback at the same time, and Ma Chao hurriedly ordered Bai Buxin to be helped to rest in the back and not to participate in the next battle.
The sky turned slightly white, and the soldiers of the Han army stood up one after another, moving their exhausted bodies in place, and the commanders and centurions hurriedly formed a team, preparing to attack.
Ma Chao pulled Wei Qing, and the two walked aside. Ma Chao said in a low voice: "Although General Wu has arrived, there is no news from Shi Qian, in case Sima 。。。。。。 ”
He was worried that in case Sima did not agree to the dispatch of the main force, or the dispatch was slow, he was afraid that things would not be easy.
Wei Qing smiled slightly: "Two hours ago, we killed 40,000 enemy troops with less than 10,000 people, and now General Wu has 40,000 people in his hands, plus us, nearly 50,000 people, 250,000 enemy troops, and one enemy with five, which is not too much." ”
Ma Chao thought about it and nodded slowly. He was still a little worried, but at this point, it was useless to worry.
Wei Qing saw that Ma Chao was still not at ease, and said in a low voice: "There is never a general in the world who will win a hundred battles, and what war needs is adventure." ”
"Not bad!" Ma Chao raised his eyebrows, his arrogance suddenly rose, he turned over on his horse, and with a wave of his hand, thousands of Han troops quietly marched towards the Jin army camp.
Approaching the east gate of the Jin army camp, the Han army began to become scattered, and the broken Jin army banner was raised in the ranks. The officer on duty in the Jin military camp suddenly saw thousands of scattered soldiers arriving under the banner of the Jin army, and he was surprised, and he flew to the commander-in-chief while shouting and asking. But no one in the Han army could speak the Jin language, so they could only wave the banner and shout. The officer on duty didn't ask how to open the door easily, but just shouted and asked on the enemy tower.
Wei Qing saw that he couldn't open the camp gate, and was about to suggest that Ma Chao order a strong attack, when suddenly a man in the Han army team covered in blood and wearing a Jin army uniform came out and shouted and scolded the Jin army duty officer on the enemy floor, and actually used a very pure Jin language.
Wei Qing shook his horse, and tears almost flowed down. This is the eldest of the four brothers who can speak the language of the Jinren! He was lucky to survive, and he followed all the way here, which was really a fluke.
As soon as the duty officer heard the language of his tribe, he finally believed it, and heard that the other party said that it was the defeated army of the right army, and tens of thousands of Han troops were chasing after him, and seeing that the banner of the people below was also the banner of the right army, he was also anxious, for fear that if he did not open the door again, he would give these thousands of comrades-in-arms to the Han people.
The door creaked and was finally tricked open. I saw a general riding forward, and suddenly knocked over the Jin army soldier by the door, dancing two large and unusual maces with both hands, and in a blink of an eye, he had already killed the door, it was Chen Qingzhi.
"Kill~~~~" The soldiers of the Han army roared angrily, and they all entered one after another, and Liu Qi set fire everywhere as soon as he entered the door with one hundred and ten people, and there was chaos in the Jin military camp for a while.
"Beat the drums!" Ma Chao ordered.
The drums sounded loudly, and the soldiers of the Han army were shocked by their might, and they went straight into the camp of the Jin army, rushing and killing. At the same time, the fire in the left front suddenly broke out, and tens of thousands of Han troops rushed at full speed, it was the 40,000 soldiers of the left route army led by Wu Ming.
Wei Qing didn't follow the soldiers into the camp, he stepped forward, grabbed the eldest of the four brothers, couldn't help but resist him all the way back to the camp, threw him to the ground, and shouted: "Go and take care of General Bai Shen!" White ginseng will be a little bit wrong, only you ask! ”
The boss stayed for a while before he understood what Wei Qing meant, and couldn't help but smile at Wei Qing gratefully and nodded yes.
Wei Qing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Who is to be thankful to? Four brothers sacrificed their lives to die, one survived, he pulled the survivor off the battlefield, and the other party actually wanted to thank him, but who was it, why did he let these good men die on the battlefield? Why should their fathers and wives mourn and cry? Wei Qing couldn't think about it anymore, he took his horse and planned to rush straight towards the Jin army camp and vent his anger with a sword.
The trumpet sounds! A few miles ahead, the torches appeared in pieces, and the stars were full of firelight, and the drums shook the heavens and the earth, and when you heard it, it was the urging drum of the Han army. I saw countless fires moving forward rapidly, and there were torches as far as the eye could see. People shouting, horses neighing, swords and guns at the same time, what a spectacular scene! Wei Qing shouted excitedly------The middle route army of the Han army has arrived!" 200,000 troops, the momentum is so amazing!
Behind him, the sound of hooves was like thunder, the cavalry of the left army had arrived, they did not stop for a moment, and went straight to the camp of the Jin army, Wei Qing was in the middle of thousands of Han army iron horses, only to see the dust, eyes full of fast horses and iron armor, sonorous.
