Chapter 627: The Liangzhou Army Attacks the Yin Pavilion
Ma Chao, who was watching the battle from behind, looked at it and said in his heart, with such siege equipment, why worry about not being able to break through the defense line of the Great Wall.
After seeing that his own side was almost attacked, Ma Chao withdrew his troops. After all, now is not the time to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and if it continues to attack, it is still impossible to break the Great Wall defense line of the state army at once, so Ma Chao asked his soldiers to go down to rest first, if it goes well, it is estimated that the Great Wall will be captured tomorrow, and then the troops will enter the Yin Pavilion.
When everyone returned to the camp, Ma Chao praised Liu Ye well, after all, if you want the horses to run, you have to give the horses grass, people, you have to praise and praise. And as the lord of everyone, he naturally can't be stingy with these, and he has never been stingy with these.
"In today's battle, our army has the advantage, precisely because of such a siege weapon created by Ziyang, this is a great achievement!"
Liu Ye hurriedly said modestly: "Lord, this is all thanks to the soldiers' lives, so the subordinates don't dare to take credit!" ”
Ma Dai smiled, "Mr. Ziyang doesn't have to be modest, everyone can see that Mr. is definitely indispensable!" ”
At this time, Mi Fang also agreed, after all, in the past few days, his own side did not take any advantage, but as soon as Liu Ye's improved catapult was on, his own side had an advantage, so he had to say whose credit was it, whose reason was it, and it was the last to do so, in fact, everyone understands.
As soon as the two said this, Liu Ye didn't say much. After all, it's almost enough to be modest, and if it's really excessive, then it's not called modesty, but hypocrisy. Don't look at it, it's a word off, but it's really too far away-
In the evening, the Malay newspaper said, "Report to the lord that the enemy has retreated to the northeast!" ”
Ma Chao listened. What does the heart say? The state army has retreated, retreated, and now that the state army has retreated like this, he will not have to let the soldiers attack tomorrow. If you don't attack, it means that there will be no casualties, and your own soldiers will not have to lose, isn't it a good thing?
"Pass on my military order, the army occupies the first line of the Great Wall, there must be no mistake!"
"No!"
Now that the other party has retreated, the most important thing for Ma Chao now is definitely not to pursue the enemy. Rather, it is necessary to occupy the Great Wall in a hurry. As for whether the other party will have an ambush or something, this won't, at least if you occupy the Great Wall, it will still be very smooth. But if you really go after the enemy, then the other side may have some ambush waiting for you.
And Ma Chao had to say a word. Lu Weihuang can still make a decision on the spot, and he can't resist himself anymore. So he ordered the withdrawal of troops and returned to the Yin Pavilion. In fact, Ma Chao also had to admit it. That's the right thing to do. But Yuan Benchu has such subordinates, why don't you seem to have heard of it, it can be seen that there are talents under his subordinates, but it's a pity that Yuan Benchu can't make the best use of them-
After that, Ma Dai and Mi Fang had already listened to their lord's military orders, and then led troops to garrison the front line of the Great Wall. All these days have passed. You have finally taken the Great Wall into your hands.
At this time, the two came to Ma Chao's Chinese army tent together to see their lord.
"My lord, our army has successfully captured the first line of the Great Wall. You can enter the Yin Pavilion on the same day! Ma Dai said.
And Ma Chao smiled when he heard this, "Okay, so good!" Now that Yanmen even the Great Wall has been subordinated to our army, where else can we stop the progress of our army! Ha Lu ha, Ha Lu Ha! ”
Seeing the smile of his lord, Ma Dai and Mi Fang also looked at each other and smiled.
And Mi Fang said at this time: "Lord, there is no need to persuade the guards of Qi County to surrender, after all, now our army has successfully captured the front line of the Great Wall!" ”
Ma Chao nodded slightly, "Okay, Zifang, you escort Feng Xiao to Cheng County and persuade the officials in the city to surrender!" ”
"No!"
Mi Fang went down to find Guo Jia, Ma Chao believed that as long as the officials of Qi County still knew the current affairs, then they would definitely be able to make their own choices. After all, now that his Liangzhou army has captured the first line of the Great Wall, he will be able to enter the city of Yinguan immediately, so when the Yinguan is attacked again, most of Yanmen is his own strength, and it has many counties and can it still hold its own army in a low grade.
In the end, under Guo Jia's lobbying, it was actually useless for Guo Jia to persuade him, it was very easy, and the defenders of Qixian County surrendered. After all, now that even the first line of the Great Wall is occupied by the Liangzhou army, there is no point in defending Yixian anymore. Therefore, if you wait until the Liangzhou Army occupies the Yin Pavilion and then surrender in Qixian, then it is better to surrender as soon as possible.
After all, it's better to come early than late, as for whether the Liangzhou Army can take the Yin Pavilion, do you need to ask this, if the Yin Pavilion can't be taken, the Liangzhou Army has a reputation for being strong for so many years-
Bingzhou, Yanmen Yinguan City, for Lu Weihuang, he originally led his troops to intercept Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou army on the front line of the Great Wall, which was not bad before. At least the other party does not have any advantage, and its own side has a lot of advantages. But who knew that a few days later, the other party directly moved out the siege weapon, and directly made his own state army lose his temper. I can't do other people's big rocks, I'm not prepared at all, where to defend. Therefore, in the end, he made a decision and retreated back to the Yin Pavilion.
In fact, I think it's right to go back to the Yin Pavilion, after all, the Liangzhou army is strong, and it was able to intercept Ma Mengqi for a while. That's just thinking that they have a geographical advantage, but the front line of the Great Wall has been bombed indiscriminately by the catapults, and it is already fragile, so although the Liangzhou army has withdrawn. But one more day, you will be lost. So instead of that, it's really better to withdraw the army and return to the Yin Pavilion as soon as possible, so don't you come back with troops?
And the ownership of Yanmen County after the most Lu still depends on the battle of the Yin Pavilion after the most Lu Hou. Whoever wins, who occupies Yanmen County. Although Lu Weihuang was facing Ma Chao's army of 70,000, he still didn't have so much confidence. But in his opinion, after all, he has the support of the city, and there are more than 15,000 Bingzhou troops defending Yinguan City, so it is indeed not so easy for the Liangzhou army to break through his own side.
As for the opponent's siege weapon, there was no way to do it at the Great Wall at that time, so it was impossible to have any preparations. But at this time, he was in his own Yin Pavilion City, so he could prepare early to defend against the catapult attack of the Liangzhou army.
Sure enough, before two days, Ma Chao led the army to the city of Yinguan. Now for him, as long as he takes down the Yin Pavilion, Yanmen will actually be in hand, so the key is in this battle-
The next day, Ma Chao set up a position to prepare to attack the city, but before the siege, Ma Chao asked Guo Jia to go forward to see if he could make Lu Weihuang open the city and surrender. After all, Ma Chao didn't know whether he was loyal to Yuan Shao, or not. If the latter is fine, but for the former, for Ma Chao, then this person must die.
Guo Jia stepped forward, a relatively safe position, and he shouted, "I am the Liangzhou Army and the military priest sacrificial wine, Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao are also!" My lord sent me to ask you, General Lu, to come and answer! ”
Sure enough, a person flashed out of the city, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Fengxiao is invited, I don't know what Mr. Lu Dao is looking for Lu?" ”
Guo Jia smiled, "General Lu, my lord cherishes General Lu's talents, and he has been specially ordered to come down to persuade him to surrender, I don't know what General Lu thinks?" ”
Guo Jia is straightforward to people like Lu Weihuang, and there is no beating around the bush. And he actually thinks it's very difficult, almost impossible. If it weren't for my lord's request to give it a try and see if I could make it, I would never have come over. Because it's in vain, it's useless, and I don't like to do such things.
Lu Weihuang's majesty is Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, "Under is the name of Mr. Jiuwen, and now it is even more famous when we meet!" ”
To say this, it is definitely a praise for Guo Jia, but I heard Lu Weihuang say again in the city: "Ma Meng's name is a long time ago!" To tell the truth, I also deeply yearn for it, but I have to say to Mr. that I have never been able to repay the kindness of General Gao, and now is the time to repay his favor. So sir, don't say much, let's see you on the battlefield, and then we'll talk about other things! ”
As soon as Guo Jia heard this, Lu Weihuang didn't say death at once, saying that even if he died, he would not return to his side. He just said that he would see the truth on the battlefield, and then wait until after the battle, what does this mean, and there will be a lot to be done here. For a while, Guo Jia didn't think it all through, but what Lu Weihuang meant at this time was that the two sides should fight first, so it would be fine.
"Okay, since the general hopes so, then my lord will also accompany the general!"
After speaking, Guo Jia bowed his hand to Lu Weihuang, "General Lu, farewell!" ”
Then Guo Jia turned the horse back to his team, and Ma Chao saw that Guo Jia was back, although this was actually what he expected, but the conversation between Guo Jia and Lu Weihuang, he also didn't understand something. But if you can't figure it out for the time being, you don't want to, anyway, since he Lu Weihuang wants to fight, let's fight. At least fighting, I really haven't been afraid of anything, even if the state army is good, the previous state army was powerful, but now, don't you underestimate them, hehe, it's still far worse than before.
Ma Chao ordered Ma Dai: "Bo Zhan! ”
"The last general!"
"Order you to lead the soldiers and attack the Yin Pavilion!"
"No! The last general commands! ”
After Ma Dai received the order, he waved his ring-headed sword, and then shouted to the soldiers: "Brothers, whether you can take Yanmen or not depends on this battle, and you will rush with me!" ”
With Ma Chao's military order and Ma Dai's leadership, the soldiers of the Liangzhou army attacked Yinguan City. (To be continued......)
