Chapter 16: Blitzkrieg

The soldiers were divided into three routes, each of which went out to fight, and Ma Chao ordered the chariot to quickly approach Dingxiang County.

Jia Xu, who was looking at the map, asked, "Why don't we wait in Pingcheng County, but follow Dingxiang County?" ”

Ma Chao can't tell Jia Xu that his talent can be used as thermal imaging, right?

Besides, Jia Xu doesn't know what thermal imaging is.

Ma Chao replied: "Master Jia, the strong attack on Dingxiang County is about time and efficiency, so I personally went to the front line, which will help improve morale." ”

2 days later, finally arrived at Dingxiang County, where there was a beacon of smoke, and people were fleeing for their lives everywhere.

If you want to attack Shanwu, you must pass through Zhongling, Wucheng, Luoxian, and Tongguo.

Su Dingfang looked at the map and decided to divide the 2,000 elite cavalry of his department again and attack 4 county towns at the same time.

Ma Chao pointed out the order: "It's better for us to wait for us, attack Zhongling first, use this as a base, hoard our army's grain and grass here, and then divide the troops to capture the remaining 3 county towns, and finally join forces and attack Shanwu!" ”

"Whoa!"

At noon, the sun was high, but it was still cold and windy, and it hurt people's faces.

2,000 elite cavalry suddenly appeared in the cold wind, and a Qianghu tribe patrol stationed in Zhongling County was shot by a dark arrow before it could react.

The cold wind whistled, the sound of the wind covered the screams of the dead, 2000 cavalry stepped on the ground, and when they arrived at the gate of Zhongling County, the sound of vibration from the ground attracted Qianghu's attention.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”

The Qianghu patrol finally discovered the enemy, but the speed of the elite cavalry was too fast, and by the time the patrol post shouted a warning, Su Dingfang had already cut the iron chain that controlled the city gate!

Smack!

The chains were severed with a hammer, and the gates rumbled and fell to the ground, kicking up layers of dust.

"Kill!"

As soon as the elite cavalry rushed in, the Qianghu soldiers who were resting in the city were impaled through the body by spears before they could get on their horses.

The peeping talent has been launched, and in Ma Chao's eyes, the wireframe diagram appeared again, just like turning on the spy radar, under the command of Ma Chao, the cavalry quickly broke through the enemy encirclement and counter-killed.

In an instant, he invaded the county government of Zhongling County and arrested the leader of the Qianghu tribe.

"Say! The deployment of your Qiang people's forces in the entire Dingxiang County! ”

"Whew!"

The tribal leader was also angry, and a mouthful of thick phlegm went out, and Ma Chao's head was tilted, and he was able to avoid the saliva attack.

"You old boy!"

Ma Chao was furious, pulled out the short knife in his hand, stabbed straight into the opponent's body, and twisted the person to the ground.

Wiping the blood off his face, Ma Chao ordered: "With Zhongling County as the base, Su Dingfang, you quickly divide your troops to attack the remaining three county seats, time is pressing, you must fight quickly!" ”

He ordered: "All the heralds obey the order, I order you to go back and forth, once a certain county is breached, one person will report the military situation, and the other will reorganize the army and attack the next county town." ”

"Whoa!"

Wucheng, Luoxian, Tongguo, the Qianghu tribes in the three county towns are all very small tribes, and they are not qualified to gather in Xihe County, so they plunder everywhere in Dingxiang County.

Su Dingfang led the army to fight in it, and the end was a divine soldier descending from the sky, not giving the enemy a little time to react, rushing through, and never stopping in one place for too long, so as not to be surrounded by the Qianghu cavalry.

Ma Chao was in full swing, and several wireframes representing different counties in front of him were combined to form a sand table.

On this sand table, there are a total of 3 green light regiments representing our army, surrounding the 3 target counties where a large number of red light regiments have gathered, and attacking in turn.

This scene looks like a big fish eating a small fish, one bite at a time, the red light cluster is constantly eaten and consumed, and finally becomes a small ball, which is swallowed by the green light cluster in one bite.

The herald from Wucheng has returned: "Young master, Wucheng County has been captured!" ”

"Okay, you go and give the order quickly, and the Wucheng army will quickly go to support Luo County!"

"Whoa."

It didn't take long for the red light group representing Luo County to also be engulfed, and the Luo County herald rushed back to Zhongling County to report on the battle situation.

Ma Chao concocted the same method, the Luo County herald quickly went to pass the order, and the cavalry teams of Wucheng, Luo County and Tongguo assembled and quickly broke through Tongguo.

It took half a day to capture 4 county seats, and our army suffered more than 70 casualties and more than 900 Qianghu casualties, a great victory!

2 consecutive battles (the first one was in Pingcheng County) quickly tempered the combat effectiveness of the army, and the cavalry was no longer timid towards Qianghu, and their morale was like a rainbow.

"Practice really makes sense."

Looking at the new state of the cavalry in front of him, Ma Chao was satisfied and said: "Jia Shi, now that our army has the power of consecutive victories, it is expected that we will be able to capture Shanwu County today!" ”

Jia Xu looked up at the sky: "Meng Qi, it's not early, it's dusk, do you plan to fight at night?" ”

"Yes, only by quickly capturing Shanwu can we show the combat effectiveness of our army, which can be worthy of a battle with Hexi Xianbei!"

At this moment, high in the sky, there was a sudden burst of thunder, the thunder roared and frightened, dull and ferocious, frightened countless war horses were startled, and the horses' hooves were trampled everywhere.

It was not easy to appease the war horse, looking at the scene in front of him, Ma Chao suddenly laughed, Jia Xuqi said: "Meng Qi, what makes you laugh so much?" ”

Ma Chao grinned: "Master Jia, you see, even God is shouting for my plan, and I will strengthen the prestige of our army with rolling thunder!" ”

"In that case, I will call tonight's night raid a blitzkrieg!"

"One blow, like thunder rushing, a battle will be good!"

Jia Xu was surprised: "Meng Qi, mighty!" ”

Su Dingfang was standing aside, listening to Ma Chao's words, and he was also quite emotional: "The young master is mighty!" ”

The 2,000 elite cavalry shouted in unison: "The young master is mighty!" ”

It was night, the clouds were thick, the starlight was obscured, so dark that I couldn't see the scene in front of me, so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.

Ma Chao's department was holding torches and slowly approaching Shanwu County, the Qianghu tribe in this city is not comparable to the four small county towns.

When it is approaching, extinguish the torch, the person is titled, the horse picks the bell, and sneaks to the nearby good city.

I saw that the city wall of Shanwu stood tall, not as dilapidated as the city walls of the four small county towns during the day.

On the city wall, there is a faint head moving, and it seems that the city wall guard of Qianghu is patrolling.

"Young master, how should I fight?"

In a hurry, it is impossible to storm Shanwu City, Su Dingfang's brows furrowed slightly, and Ma Chao narrowed his eyes: "For today's plan, the only way to do this is to lure the enemy's main force out of the city." ”

"How?"

Ma Chao turned around and asked: "A few Qianghu captives caught during the day, pick a few timid guys out and ask them to pretend to be routs and go to open the city gate." ”

Su Dingfang nodded: "I will lead the guards and blend in among the captives, if they dare to tell the truth, I will cut off their heads first!" ”

"Okay, do what you do."

After a short time, a group of routs set out, and the guards on the Shanwu City Wall immediately stopped when they saw a group of people outside: "Stop, who is outside?" ”

The captive who took the lead cried loudly: "We are one of the small tribes of the Xianling tribe, originally stationed in Wucheng County, but a Han cavalry came during the day, killed our leader, and came to take refuge!" ”

"Oh? The Han cavalry is coming? ”

The guards of the city wall carefully observed the dress of the captives, who had already convinced them most of the Chinese Qiang dialect.

"Open the gates!"

The city gate was opened, and Su Dingfang immediately led his guards into the city, first occupying the organ that controlled the city gate, and then carrying torches, burning things everywhere, and the fire rose to the sky.

Qianghu in the city immediately woke up, the main force of Qianghu came out, and Su Dingfang's troops immediately fled from the city.

As he fled, he shouted: "Not good! Run! Qiang Man has come out! ”

The word "Qiang barbarian" was extremely humiliating, and the Qiang Hu general who took the lead was so angry that his nose was crooked, and he scolded loudly: "We are not Qiang barbarians, we are great warriors of the Xian Ling tribe!" ”

Su Dingfang didn't forget to turn around and spit out: "I'm bah!" It's also a great first zero, just a bunch of barbarians! ”

"Hahahaha!"

All the Han soldiers around Su Dingfang laughed together, and the laughter spread far and wide in the night sky.

When the Qianghu warriors of this Xian Zero tribe heard the humiliating words, they were so angry that they gritted their teeth, and swore that they must catch Su Dingfang and break the corpse into ten thousand pieces!

The wireframe diagram in Ma Chao's eyes showed that a large red light cluster was quickly rushing out of the city, intending to hunt down Su Dingfang to the end!

"Here's your chance!"

Ma Chao immediately ordered: "Divide the troops into two routes, go all the way to support Su Dingfang, follow me all the way to capture Shanwu, and cut off the back road of Qianghu!" ”
