Chapter 097: Pacifying Xianbei and Fighting the Grassland (4)
Zhao Xu and Ma Teng, who were marching at this moment, had already learned from the scouts that the opponent had exhausted the 300,000 army and rushed towards their side.
"General Zhao, are we too risky, we are too far away from the army now, if there is a mistake...... Ma Teng rode on the black war horse of the divine steed, and said with a little anxious worry.
"Master Hou, we have already separated too far from the large army, do we want to retreat some?" Ma Tie, the eldest son beside Ma Teng, said to Ma Teng worriedly. Not only Ma Tie, but everyone was very strange in their hearts; It is said that although Zhao Xu does not play cards according to common sense on weekdays, he can also be called stable, what is wrong now? The lone army is deep, but the soldiers are taboo, the number of enemy troops is nearly 300,000, although we have 100,000, but it is difficult to resist!
Who knew that Zhao Xu smiled and said: "Don't worry about this, let's fight with Xianbei's front troops for a while, and then talk about it." ”
"However, husband, the Xianbei people are three times larger than our army, and if we are dragged back by the Xianbei front army, when their army arrives, our situation will be dangerous. Don't take it for granted, are we waiting for General Guan and them? Zhao Xue also persuaded worriedly, and didn't care about Zhao Xu's face.
Zhao Xu smiled and said, "Xue'er, if you put ten thousand hearts, even if you are under siege, I will protect you." ”
When Zhao Xue heard this, although she was happy in her heart, she still frowned slightly and said awe-inspiringly: "It's not like this, if you are so aggressive, aren't you afraid that the whole army will be wiped out?" "Strange, what's wrong with Zhao Xu today?
Zhao Xu smiled: "No, how can we be wiped out." Then he turned his head to Zhao Yun and the others and said, "Brothers, do you think we will be wiped out?" ”
Dian Wei shouted: "How come? I don't think we're going to lose to the Xianbei people. ”
Zhao Yun looked at the north and said lightly: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to worry, this is also what Mr. Jia Xu asked us to do." ”
"Mr. Jia Xu? Could it be ......" Zhao Xue seemed to have an understanding, and looked back at the south, which was roughly the direction where Guan Yu and Cao Cao's coalition forces were located.
"It is estimated that the military advisor wants to take advantage of this to have a head-on battle with the Xianbei army! And my brother also has this meaning, now the Xianbei people are afraid of us, if we don't throw the bait, these guys, I'm afraid they won't dare to fight! Zhao Yun smiled and said.
When Zhao Xue heard this, she fell silent. Zhao Xu looked back and saw that there were many soldiers on Ma Teng's side with fear on their faces, and suddenly his chest straightened, and he shouted proudly: "As a general, although I am not talented, why am I afraid of dying in battle?" A man is full of liver and gall, why is he afraid of hardships and dangers? Nowadays, there are frequent wars in our Central Plains, and at this time, we must let the enemy know that our big men are all flying generals! This time, we will raise the mighty Mobei and shout at the invading enemy: Those who commit strong crimes will be punished even if they are far away! ”
"Those who commit strong crimes will be punished even if they are far away!" The soldiers on Zhao Xu's side were all enthusiastic and shouted, and the Huns under Hu Chuquan and Ma Teng's subordinates were also enthusiastic when they heard it.
Ma Teng glanced at his three sons, and in the eyes of the three of them, he saw the same excitement and enthusiasm. Ma Teng couldn't help but be shocked, such an army, the combat effectiveness is unimaginable, this kind of cohesion and morale alone is not comparable to the army of any prince in the world.
After another half an hour, the combined army led by Zhao Xu and Ma Teng was hoarded on a hill. There is a large forest with two small hills on either side of the woods, and a river running through the woods to the east.
"Alright, Zilong, you go and bring everything I have prepared!" Zhao Yun nodded, and went immediately.
"Brother Shoucheng, I still want to trouble you, and I bother you to immediately divide 20,000 foot soldiers to dig a trench between the mountains in front." Zhao Xu said in a deep voice.
"Dig a trench, what is this for! There is no need to build a canal here. Ma Teng asked puzzled.
"The trench was dug so that the cavalry could not give full play to its advantages and slow down the enemy's attack, anyway, our trip was not a decisive battle with the Xianbei people." Zhao Xu said lightly.
"Oh! I understand, Hugh, go and get 20,000 life force. After Ma Teng finished speaking, he went to command.
"Big brother, it's all down." Zhao Yun ran to Zhao Xu and said.
"Good! Zilong, you go and call Dian Wei and them too, and put these horse fences next to the trench. Zhao Yun immediately received the order. It is said that it is anti-horse, but to put it bluntly, it is just an imitation of the anti-tank of later generations, and a wooden (iron) fence is placed next to the trench, which is tied with barbed wire.
"Husband, it's better to be cautious. Although you are good at martial arts, but those who can serve as the vanguard in the enemy army must be warriors in the Xianbei clan, and the force is definitely not low. Zhao Xue admonished.
"Don't worry, Cher. You see that we are such a fierce general, do you still use me to play! Besides, with them, I'm not prepared to take the lead! Zhao Xu said lazily. As a husband and wife, needless to say, I also know that Zhao Xue is really worried about herself, so naturally she will not speak in a bad tone.
Zhao Xue smiled helplessly, "You! ……”
Day. Ma Teng divided the 20,000 soldiers and gathered with the 20,000 people on Zhao Xu's side, some of the 5,000 were responsible for cutting down trees, 25,000 were responsible for digging ditches and fortifying horse fences, and 10,000 people were distributed on the periphery as a guard. As soon as the order was given, this area was as busy as the battlefield construction positions in the future.
In just one day, it was completed. The soldiers who were about to sleep well had not yet closed their eyes when the enemy army came.
In the early morning of that day, before dawn, 100,000 Xianbei cavalry rushed densely on the grassland of less than a few dozen miles.
Zhao Xu and Ma Teng immediately rode out of the battle, leading 80,000 cavalry to come out to face the enemy first, and the Xianbei people saw that the Han army was already in battle, so they stopped, and the two armies faced each other. Before Zhao Xu and the others could speak, a burly Xianbei general on the opposite side rushed out with a Xuanhua axe. When he came to the front of the battle, he held down the war horse and shouted: "I am the general Dugu Lixiong, Zhao Xu is the one, come out, I am here to take your head!" ”
"What a big breath, no shame! You still want to take my head, Kebineng still dies under my gun, what are your dogs? Zhao Xu was about to slap his horse forward.
Ma Chao shouted, "Use a knife to kill chickens, I'll meet you!" "The longitudinal horse goes straight to the lone lixiong. Dugu Lixiong was not to be outdone, shouted loudly, and brandished the Xuanhua axe to meet Ma Chao.
The two fought together, and the soldiers on both sides shouted excitedly to cheer for their generals.
The two fought together, back and forth, not ten rounds, how could Dugu Lixiong be able to beat Ma Chao's bravery, Ma Chao was fierce, and Dugu Lixiong couldn't resist it immediately after fighting to Shihe.
Dugu Lixiong's eldest son, Dugu Lin, saw that his father was in danger, and he patted the horse and danced the knife, so he came to help. Ma Chao saw it and went straight out to meet the father and son fighting. Dugu Lixiong's other two sons, Dugu Zongdian and Dugu Zonglei, saw that Ma Chao was invincible, and they also jumped on the horse with a sword, and went out to attack Ma Chao together.
Ma Chao rose up to his might, riding a horse and a gun, and was able to defeat four Xianbei fierce generals, without the slightest fear. In less than ten rounds, Ma Chao got a convenient place, sold a flaw, Dugu Lin struggled to cut in, was shouted by Ma Chao, caught off guard, and Ma Chao shot and stabbed down the horse. Dugu Lixiong's father and son saw it, they were taken aback, although they were afraid, but seeing their son (eldest brother) die in front of themselves, how could there be any reason not to take revenge, hatred covered up reason, and died in the war against Ma Chao.
Ma Chao smiled, only to see a white light flash in the air, and only to see a meteor hammer flying out, smashing the electric door of Dugu Sect, and the flesh and blood were blurred, and his father couldn't recognize it.
On Zhao Xu's side, except for Zhao Xu, who already knew, Ma Teng's side showed a smug look, and the rest of the generals were taken aback, Zhang Fei slapped his thigh and shouted: "Hey! I really didn't expect this horse to have this trick. ”
Dugu Lixiong and Dugu Zonglei were shocked, seeing that Ma Chao's martial arts were strong and there were hidden weapons, they suddenly couldn't care about revenge, and they didn't dare to be strong anymore, turned the horse's head, and fled to the battle in a panic.
"Where to go!" Ma Chaoken let him escape like this, chased after him, and stabbed Duguli through the heart of ambition with a shot, stabbing him through the heart. Dugu Zonglei didn't dare to stay for a moment, hugged his head and ran away, Ma Chao flew up a shot and stabbed Dugu Zonglei to death.
Ma Chao was stepping forward to get a gun, and six generals jumped out of Xianbei and wanted to sneak attack Ma Chao, Ma Chao roared angrily and quickly waved the meteor hammer, the six Xianbei generals couldn't catch this move at all, and five of them were swept off the horse by Ma Chao's hammer in an instant.
The rest of the generals were about to flee, Ma Chao's gun had been retrieved, and he was being swept off his horse by Ma Chao's shot, and the war horse was frightened, and the horse was also trampled to death. It's also funny to be on horseback all your life and die under a horse in the end.
Ma Chao killed ten generals in a row, and the Xianbei people were frightened, but Ma Chao did not stop there, raised the tiger's head and the golden gun, and took advantage of the situation to enter the Xianbei army array. The horses galloped, coming and going like flying, many Xianbei people were killed so that people turned over on their backs, and the front of the Xianbei people was chaotic. However, the Xianbei people did not be confused for long, seeing that there was only Ma Chao alone, some generals immediately commanded the troops, stabilized their positions, cooperated with each other, and strangled Ma Chao, while another part of the cavalry went around from the two wings, trying to surround Ma Chao who was charging alone.
It's a pity that the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, Zhao Xu found out about Xianbei people's intentions, and Ma Teng was worried about his son, so he naturally found out. Immediately ordered the whole army to attack.
Zhang Fei shouted; "Let Ma Er be majestic, how can I lose to him, look at how powerful my Yanren Zhang Yide is." Rush first.
Dian Wei also shouted: "Both of them are so impatient, I can't fall behind, kill!" ”
Zhao Xu laughed, raised the three-pointed and two-edged blade in his hand, and shouted: "Brothers, today, you must give this group of rabbit cubs who don't have long eyes some color and kill!" As Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, and Zhao Xu rushed out, the rest of the soldiers did not want to lag behind, and suddenly shouted, raising a sound like thunder, and the Korean army rushed towards it.
The two armies were only about 100 paces apart, and in a blink of an eye, they were killed together, the cavalry on both sides charged staggeredly, the sound of killing was like thunder, and in the shadow of the sword and sword, from time to time there were soldiers who were killed and fell off their horses, and the battle was very fierce.
