"Reward me heavily?"

Zhang Liao was puzzled, his command error, resulting in more than 800 casualties of 2,000 cavalry, and heavy losses, why should he be rewarded?

Ma Chao nodded, under his talent for peeping, the enemy had nothing to hide, and the sudden appearance of Zhang Liaobu caused Qianghu stationed in Jiuyuan County to be extremely vigilant.

In Jiuyuan County and the military camp outside the city, there is a large number of Qianghu troops, which will move the whole body, and the Qianghu garrison in Jiuyuan County is ready to move.

"Report!"

The scout reported: "There are about 5,000 cavalry garrisons in the Jiuyuan military camp, and about 3,000 soldiers in Jiuyuan County. ”

"Heh, there are more than 8,000 horse infantry troops!"

Jia Xu frowned: "The county town and the military camp are fighting each other, and it seems that there is a strategist among the enemy army." ”

Ma Chaoqi said: "What? Chicken feet cheese? ”

"That's right, the horn of the horn!"

Jia Xu said worriedly: "The two divisions of our army are combined, a total of 4,000 cavalry, 1,500 people were killed in battle, and there are 2,500 cavalry left, even if you add Sima Cuo's department, there are only 3,500 people, how to fight the enemy?" ”

Looking at the map, Ma Chao, who activated the thermal imaging, looked at the map in the distance, and said, "Master Jia, I don't plan to let the 1,000 cavalry of Sima Cuo's department come back to join forces. ”

"What does Meng Qi mean?"

At this time, the scouts of Sima Cuo's department returned to the camp: "Report! Lord Sima's army is in the southwest of Jiuyuan County. ”

Ma Chao ordered: "Listen, go back and report to Sima Cuo, let him lead the army, and ambush at the west gate of Jiuyuan County." ”

"Whoa!"

After waiting for the scouts to leave, Jia Xu asked, "Why did you let Sima Cuo's troops ambush there?" ”

Ma Chao pondered for a moment and said, "If my expectations are correct, Qianghu is about to have a batch of grain to be transported into the city. ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he secretly said in his heart: "How did Meng Qi know that the enemy army had grain to deliver? ”

But he just held it in his heart and didn't say it.

The army rested in place, and after a long time, the scout reported: "Report! Lord Sima led the cavalry to rob and kill Qianghu's grain army, killing more than 400 people in total, and obtaining a total of 10,000 stone of grain. ”

(One stone of grain in the Han Dynasty is about 15 kg)

"What?!"

When Jia Xu heard this, he was taken aback: "There are actually 10,000 stone of grain, what is Qiang Hu going to do?" ”

"Jia Shi, it is obvious that Wuyuan County is the rear grain transportation area of Qianghu, and they must need a large amount of grain to gather a large army in Xihe County."

Seeing that Ma Chao was thinking so far-reaching, Jia Xu asked: "Qianghu are nomads, where did they get so much food?" ”

"Looks like there's a lot of looting!"

Su Dingfang gritted his teeth: "I can't wait to eat the flesh and blood of the Hu people raw!" ”

Ma Chao sneered: "Hehe, I see, there are enough 8,000 Qianghu garrisons here, and in Jiuyuan City, I'm afraid there will be more food!" ”

Immediately, he ordered the scouts: "You go back and tell Sima wrongly, let him use the intercepted grain to lure the Qianghu out of the city, let him lead the army to fight and retreat, and lead the enemy army out of the range of Jiuyuan County." ”

"Whoa!"

After waiting for a few more hours, it was already dusk, and the army began to bury the pot to make rice, and after the meal, Ma Chao raised the military tent and said: "Everyone, Sima Cuo's scout just came to report that the 3,000 enemy troops in the city have killed 2,000 people and went to hunt for food. ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, he immediately stepped forward and said: "Liao is willing to be a pioneer and go to rescue Sima Cuo." ”

"No, you don't."

Ma Chao smiled: "Do you remember telling you before that I want to reward you?" ”

Zhang Liao nodded: "I just don't know... Why does the young master reward me? ”

"It's very simple, your appearance has made the Qianghu army in the barracks vigilant, and the news that Dingxiang County has been broken by our army must have reached Wuyuan County."

"So at this moment, under the premise that the army in the barracks can't move, the only army that can pursue Sima Cuo is the garrison in the city, and at this time, the enemy army in the city is empty, and it is a good time to storm the city!"

Speaking of this, Ma Chao ordered: "Su Dingfang is out of the ranks!" ”

"The last general!"

"I order you to lead 2,000 fully armed elite cavalry to challenge the Qianghu army in the barracks, remember, you can't engage in battle easily, just use the mobility of the cavalry to continuously consume the enemy army."

"Yes!"

Jia Xu said loudly: "Meng Qi, do you want to use 2,000 cavalry to drag the 5,000 cavalry in the barracks?" ”

"Yes, there are still 1,500 cavalry left in our army, and Zhang Liao will lead them to attack Jiuyuan County!"

After the arrangement, at dusk, Su Dingfang led the army to the battle, the war horse galloped, stepped into the formation, and with the blessing of Su Dingfang's talent, he broke through the defense line of the military camp in an instant, and shot dozens of Qianghu patrol posts.

"Enemy attack!"

The Qianghu army in the barracks blew up the pot and attacked quickly, Su Dingfang's talent increased the marching speed by 50%, not fast or slow, hanging the Qianghu army from afar, luring the enemy away from Jiuyuan County.

Standing on the top of the hill and looking around, Ma Chao smiled and said, "Master Jia, how about my plan to lure the enemy?" ”

"Yes, of the 8,000 Qianghu troops, 7,000 people were taken away, and only 1,000 garrisons in the city remained."

Jia Xu calculated: "Our army has 1,500 cavalry, and the victory is not yet clear against the enemy's 1,000 garrisons relying on the city. ”

"Hahahaha!"

Ma Chao laughed: "Although it is not known who killed the deer, our army has a great absolute advantage!" ”

Seeing Ma Chao so confident, Jia Xu suddenly realized and said, "It's the Han people in Jiuyuan City!" ”

"Yes, Wuyuan County is a big county after all, Jiuyuan is the seat of Wuyuan County, there must be a lot of Han people in the city, they have been slaves to Qianghu for so long, it's time to stand up and fight back!"

Zhang Liao was the vanguard, and led the army to the outside of Jiuyuan City to call for battle: "Wu Naqiang Hu barbarian, why don't you quickly open the city gate and suffer a knife from your grandfather?" ”

On the tower of the city gate, the Qianghu general was furious and scolded: "The Han people are scattered, can't they find death?!" ”

"Brute thief, come out and die!"

The Qianghu general shouted: "It's really angry with me!" Open the gates and kill them! ”

"General, no!"

A Han strategist hurriedly grabbed the Qianghu general: "The leader ordered our army to be stationed in the city, just to protect the military food from being taken away, the general must not be tricked, there may be an ambush outside the city!" ”

Ma Chao looked at it really outside: "! There is a Han man who actually serves as a strategist for Qianghu! ”

Zhang Liao, who was still calling the formation, heard Ma Chao's words and sneered: "What? There is a BOC above that says? ”

The Bank of China said that he was a traitor eunuch during the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty who helped the Xiongnu Shan Yu to attack the Western Han Dynasty.

When the Han adviser heard this, he was furious: "You are the eunuch!" Your whole family is eunuchs! ”

"Yoh?"

Zhang Liao sarcastically: "Seeing that you are so excited, you are really a dead eunuch!" ”

He led the army and shouted loudly: "Dead eunuchs deserve to die!" Hahahaha! ”

"You!"

The Han strategists were furious, and the Qianghu generals were also resentful, and the gate of Jiuyuan City was opened, and the Qianghu army was killed from inside.

"Well, this is the door?"

Ma Chao was dumbfounded, but thinking about the many examples of scolding the city gate in history, he only sighed that the ancient people were thin-skinned and couldn't listen to swearing.

Zhang Liao shouted: "It's a good time!" ”

Immediately led the army to rush and kill, and the two sides fought at once, and they were evenly matched.

Glimpse the talent warning, Ma Chao turned around, and saw a large red light cluster in a far direction, hurrying here.

"Oh no, the enemy is back!"

That direction is the direction of Sima Cuo's department, and it seems that the 2,000 Qianghu who chased out to grab grain finally discovered that something was wrong.

Behind the red light cluster, there was indeed a green light cluster in pursuit.

Ma Chao shouted at Zhang Liao: "Wenyuan! Speed to seize the city gate, and the Qianghu reinforcements are coming! ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, the crescent halberd in his hand opened and closed, and led the army to rush and kill, quickly breaking through the enemy's defense line, taking the lead and entering the city.

In the city, the Han strategists had just run down from the city wall, and by coincidence, they happened to collide with Zhang Liao, who had entered the city.

"Hahahaha, you give me death!"

Zhang Liao poked a halberd, directly penetrated the chest of the Han strategist, hung his corpse, and threw the corpse into the air with a backhand.

The corpse then fell to the ground and was trampled into a pulp by the galloping horses.

Zhang Liao shouted: "Occupy the city gate!" ”

Ma Chao ordered the groom to drive quickly, and with him and Jia Xu, the carriage sprinted wildly and rushed straight into the city.

"Close the gates!"

When all the Zhang Liao troops swarmed in, they immediately closed the city gate, and outside the city, the Qianghu army stared at each other, only to know that they had been tricked.

"What about the strategists? What about the strategists?! ”

The Qianghu general was looking for people everywhere, and his own soldiers told him that the strategist was still in the city, and he was killed by the Han generals who called the battle.

"Bastard!"

The Qianghu generals were furious, and they were about to lead their troops to attack the city, but they were thrown back by countless rocks in the city.

Inside the city, the Han people found out that the Han army had actually occupied the city, cheered, and all ran out of their homes to celebrate the Han army's recapture of the city.

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Ma Chao stood on the high platform and said loudly: "Outside the city, there are more than 7,000 Qianghu troops, I hope that with the help of everyone's strength, we can repel the enemy!" ”

In the crowd, someone asked, "What to do?" ”

"All are soldiers!"

Jiuyuan City, although it is a county seat, is indeed the seat of Wuyuan County, so there are 20,000 people in the city.

At this moment, the old, weak, sick and disabled were removed, and 5,000 young and strong people were harvested at once, all of whom were turned into volunteers.

Ma Chao spread out the map and analyzed the situation: "The current situation, there are 1,000 cavalry and 5,000 volunteers in the city, more than 7,000 Qianghu in the military camp outside the city, and 3,000 cavalry of Su Dingfang and Sima Cuo who are wandering outside. ”

At first glance, Ma Chaojun has an advantage in numbers, but how much combat effectiveness 5,000 volunteers can have is a big question.

Jia Xu said: "The top priority is to think of a way to get Su Dingfang and Sima Cuo's army back to the city as soon as possible, otherwise, they will definitely starve to death outside." ”

"Yes, but how?"

Zhang Liaojin said: "Liao is willing to lead the troops to open a bloody road and welcome them back to the city." ”

"Okay, Wenyuan is heroic!"

Ma Chao decided: "Tomorrow, depending on the situation, adapt to the situation!" ”

"Whoa!"
