After listening to Yuan Xi's plan, Ma Yunlu said in surprise: "The lord has a good idea." ”

"But how do you lure Sima Yi to attack?"

"This..." Yuan Xi said: "I haven't thought about it yet, what do you think?" ”

Ma Yunlu said: "I think... We have thousands of remnants, and Sima Yi has nearly 30,000 elites, so he has no reason to be afraid of me. In less than two days, the camp will definitely be attacked. Unless he didn't want to aid Cao Cao. ”

"Well, you have a point."

Yuan Xi nodded with a smile and said, "In that case, I'll leave the camp first." Lurking around the camp, when Sima Yi comes, I will attack again and kill him by surprise. ”

"Okay."

Of course, Ma Yunlu has no opinion.

Yuan Xi left the camp and hidden.

Sima Yi sent people to the Xiliang military camp to investigate, but did not find any trace of Yuan Xi. This made Sima Yi wonder if he had guessed wrong, Yuan Xi didn't come to Longxi at all?

No!

If Yuan Xi hadn't come, how could Ma Yunlu have been so bold?

He was firm in his thoughts, feeling that Yuan Xi was hiding in the shadows, waiting to give him a fatal blow, so he couldn't rush out and fall for Yuan Xi's calculations.

But in order to find out what was going on, Sima Yi decided to send two thousand iron horsemen to fight Ma Yunlu. The first is to test the combat effectiveness of the defeated troops of Xiliang and prepare for the total annihilation of the Xiliang army. The second is to lure Yuan Xi and confirm his conjecture.

Vertical day.

Guo Huai led the iron cavalry to arrive outside Ma Yunlu's military camp.

There were only 1,500 Xiliang troops in this barracks.

On the left side of the trail and on the right side of the slope, there was a battalion of 800 soldiers stationed there.

This is all of Ma Yunlu's troops.

Compared with Sima Yi, it is nine times worse.

"Kill..." Guo Huai arrived outside Ma Yunlu's military camp and smashed open the gate of the village with a bomb made of fire oil, and the whole army charged inside.

Ma Yunlu had already prepared and set up an ambush at the entrance to intercept Guo Huai.

Whoosh...

A burst of galloping arrows restrained Cao's offensive.

Ma Yunlu appeared and said: "Guo Huai, you have already been tricked, why don't you get off the horse and surrender?" ”

"Soldiers, don't be afraid, our reinforcements will arrive soon, kill them quickly!" Guo Huai did not give up the plan to attack the camp, nor did he ignore Ma Yunlu and led the army to continue the attack.

He believed that Sima Yi was watching from behind, and he would never give up if he didn't lure Yuan Xi out.

If he is ambushed, reinforcements will be sent.

"Brothers, kill..." A fierce battle ensued between the two sides at the camp gates.

The battle did not last long.

Ma Yunlu relied on the ambush soldiers and the brave and warlike Xiliang army to defeat the 2,000 cavalry brought by Guo Huai with a number of 1,000. It's not a hard record, but it's a very rare moment. Because Ma Yunlu didn't have extra troops, he really couldn't afford to lose. In order to block Sima Yi's tens of thousands of troops, he had to win again and again until Sima Yi did not dare to attack.

"Reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived..." Just when Guo Huai was about to despair, Sima Yi finally sent reinforcements to support the battle. A full 3,000 pikemen (restraining cavalry) came in a phalanx.

When Guo Huai saw this, his confidence soared, and he shouted: "Brothers, reinforcements are coming, kill them quickly!" ”

"Kill..."

The only few hundred remaining Cao troops, although they were frightened by the Xiliang army, were unwilling to fight again. But for the sake of the reinforcements, they all mustered up the courage to follow Guo Huai to do the final fight.

Hiss...

However, just when they thought that the reinforcements could save their lives, they heard a very familiar voice, echoing in their ears from far and near. The sound was not terrifying, but it made them tremble when it fell on their ears.

"It's a snake!"

"The snake is coming, everyone run!"

"Ahh

......

The python has not really appeared yet, and Guo Huai's hundreds of Cao troops have already been frightened. Immediately afterwards, the Titan Python came from a distance and attacked the three thousand spear phalanx sent by Sima Yi.

Boom boom...

Several tail sweeps in a row, crushing the phalanx.

There were many casualties among the Cao soldiers, but more of them were afraid and afraid, and at the moment when the python appeared, they all scattered and fled.

"Withdraw, withdraw..." Guo Huai was also scared. However, he was not frightened by the python, but all the soldiers he brought with him were scattered, and the reinforcements sent by Sima Yi were also scattered and could not be supported by him. This means that in a few minutes, he will face the Xiliang Army alone. Can the results be imagined?

Guo Huai was afraid that this situation would occur, so he fled in a panic and finally left the Xiliang military camp.

"Yunlu, how are you doing here? I arrived just in time, didn't I? Yuan Xi entered the camp to find Ma Yunlu.

"In a timely manner.... Ma Yunlu said angrily: "However, you'd better come early next time to save the army casualties." I'm short on troops right now, and I can't afford to be hurt. ”

"Hehe, okay."

Yuan Xi originally wanted to give Ma Yunlu a chance to show the combat power of the Xiliang Army, but he didn't expect Ma Yunlu to still appreciate it. In this case, the next time Sima Yi sends troops again, let the python attack directly, and quickly defeat Cao Jun.

...........

In the next few days, Yuan Xi and Sima Yi had a fierce confrontation.

Sima Yi clearly knew that Ma Chao's tens of thousands of iron cavalry and the troops of the Qiang, Di, and Rong tribes were gathered in Ji County, preparing to counterattack Jincheng. This is a very bad thing.

As one of the top military advisors under Cao Cao, he should have offered advice, but he was not by Cao Cao's side.

The 30,000 elites he commanded were entangled by Ma Yunlu's thousands of remnants and could not go to the rescue. After Cao Cao got out of trouble, how should he explain to Cao Cao. said that he had 30,000 elites, but he couldn't defeat Ma Yunlu's thousands of remnants?

In view of all kinds of difficulties, Sima Yi had to defeat Ma Yunlu no matter what, and personally led the army to Jincheng to support. Even if Yuan Xi is here, he can't stop him. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain to Cao Cao.

In these days...

Sima Yi struck two more times in a row.

Once diverted the tiger from the mountain, he wanted to lure Yuan Xi away first, entangle the snake, and then quickly attack to eliminate Ma Yunlu. But what Sima Yi didn't expect was that Yuan Xi's speed was too fast, and he could travel dozens of miles back and forth in just two quarters of an hour. This made all his arrangements in vain. As soon as Yuan Xi's big snake arrived, the plan to eliminate Ma Yunlu was also broken.

The second time was to use Longxi City as a bait to lure Ma Yunlu to attack. Originally, Ma Yunlu had entered the city and had already been ambushed, but he was rescued by Yuan Xi's big snake and retreated to the camp in the rear.

In these three consecutive encounters, both sides suffered casualties. But it didn't hurt the bones.

Sima Yi had to reconsider, how to defeat Yuan Xi and Ma Yunlu? You can't really be blocked in Longxi City, right?

"Guo Huai."

In the city guard mansion, Sima Yi was lying on the desk in a daze, and suddenly got up and called.

"Yes." Guo Huai walked in from outside the door.

"I asked you to send a letter to General Jiang Wei, can you send someone to deliver it?" Sima Yi asked.

Guo Huai arched his hand and replied: "Sir, you have asked countless times, and the end will be sent two days ago, and now Jiang Wei must have received it." It's just that... He was ordered to guard Chang'an, will he give us reinforcements? ”
