Although the sparrow is small and has all the organs, Song Jian's ass is a little more powerful, so he dares to call himself the king of Heshou Pinghan, which shows that he has no ambitions, but he is very arrogant. The territory is very small, and he has been operating for more than ten years, but he has always only occupied Caohan, and has not expanded his power outward. But he has prepared hundreds of civil and military officials in the city of Caohan, and his subordinates are very complete with the three princes and nine generals.

In the eyes of others, he is a big joke among the warlords of Liangzhou.

It is no wonder that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty successively sent Huangfu Song, Zhang Wen and Dong Zhuo to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion, but never paid attention to him, the king of the Han Dynasty.

"The prime minister's words are wrong. Although the number of Ma Teng's army is small, it is reported that they are all elite cavalry, and if our country sends troops to fight with them in the field, even if it can win, there will be many casualties. The king, Weichen implored Your Majesty to stick to the national capital, and when its food is exhausted, it will naturally retreat. If the generals dare to storm the national capital, Weichen will definitely let them have no return. "It was Song Jian's lieutenant who spoke against the prime minister.

"Hmmm! Just do what the captain says! Song Jianyi waved his hand and praised Taiwei's idea.

Song Jian is an old Liangzhou, so he naturally knows the details of Ma Tengjun.

There are indeed more than 10,000 soldiers in the city, half of the infantry and cavalry, but Song Jian himself is very, what are the soldiers under his command. He had been entrenched here for many years, but he had not really fought many battles, and the soldiers in the city had more than enough to defend the city, so that they could go out of the city to fight the Ma Teng army in the field, and it was still 10,000 against 1,000.

To be honest, even Song Jian himself was not very sure that he would be able to defeat the other party, let alone completely annihilate the opponent's 1,000 cavalry.

Next, the two sides entered a very tacit state.

Jin Jue led his troops to be stationed outside the west gate of Caohan City, a stone's throw away, and Caohan City was closed with four gates, and the other party had no intention of sending a soldier out of the city to meet the enemy. It seems that Song Jian is planning to defend the city and let this cavalry leave on his own after running out of food and grass.

By the time we got outside the city, it was already night. After Ma Dai arranged the soldiers for the night patrol, he also rested, and at this time, Jin Jue had already fallen asleep.

As a result, the next day, Jin Jue still did not give any orders, allowing the soldiers to rest for another whole day.

On the third day, it continued throughout the day.

At night, after Ma Dai personally patrolled the camp, he came to the camp where Jin Jue was in a rage, and asked loudly: "Boy, what is your idea of fighting, did you borrow troops from my uncle just to consume food?" ”

"Hehehe, General Pony, you're in a rage. Am I not worried that the soldiers will let them rest for two more days when they are tired from all the way? Don't worry, you'll be busy next. Jin Jue was not angry, and replied with a smile.

Ma Daiwu looked at Jin Jue in disbelief, waiting to hear what else he could say next.

Jin Jue instructed: "General Ma Dai listens to the order, you immediately gather two hundred soldiers, and all the golden drums in the general are taken up, the people are ranked, and the horses are covered with feet." Let them divide into four groups, and stay under the four gates of the city of Sohan, and after half an hour, listen to the sound of the dwarf, and beat the golden drum together. Next, just let them play on their own. By the way, they don't need to fight with halberds, they just need to take their bows and shields.

It is best to spend half an hour at the foot of the four cities of Caohan, in any corner of the city wall. By the way, you ordered the other 800 soldiers to detach 300 to prevent the enemy from attacking the camp, and the other 500 soldiers to ignore what was happening outside and rest as they did last night. You have also arranged the vigil in turns. ”

"That's it, aren't you going to attack the city tonight?" After hearing this, Ma Dai was startled at first, then reacted and hurriedly asked.

Because, Jin Jue gave so many orders, but he didn't mention the siege of the city.

"Hehe, General Pony, it's just that the fire hasn't come yet, do you think this is the best time to attack the city?" Jin Jue asked with a smile.

Ma Dai hurriedly shook his head and said, "Naturally not!" ”

The order that Jin Jue gave just now was at most to make one-fifth of the soldiers tired all night, and the lights were blind at night, and it was still a dark cloud and moon weather tonight, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as not seeing five fingers when he stretched out his hand.

More importantly, in this era, people generally lack nutrition and can't eat enough, let alone supplement vitamins. As a result, most people suffer from night blindness, shooting arrows in the dark with extremely poor accuracy.

When on the road, Jin Jue often asked the soldiers to catch fish in the river and come back, and personally boiled fish soup for everyone to drink, although it could not change the symptoms of vitamin A deficiency in all people, but at least some of them had effectively alleviated their night blindness.

Therefore, after Ma Dai gave the order, the operation that night was very smooth, Jin Jue was still careful to overdo it, and the city of Caohan was tossed by a team of two hundred people for a whole night, shooting countless arrows, but he didn't dare to show his head.

With such a dense attack, the two hundred soldiers, except for a dozen unlucky ghosts who broke their feet and necks because they couldn't see the night road clearly, actually didn't get a single arrow.

For a whole night, the captain and the soldiers defending the city were disturbed and couldn't sleep all night.

Under such a dark night, the lack of preparation of torches for a time could not cover the entire city wall, so it gave those Xiliang soldiers an opportunity to take advantage of.

Every once in a while, the shouts of the soldiers under the city and the sound of golden drums will be sounded, and it is not a city wall, but there are sounds at the foot of the four walls.

This is the strategy that Jin Jue is ready to use - the strategy of exhausting the soldiers.

In later generations, whenever he saw Zhuge Liang leading tens of thousands of troops but being trapped under a small Chencang City, he really felt that Chen Shou's evaluation of him - he was not his strength! There's nothing wrong with that at all.

Chen Cang is strong under the city, and there is a good general Hao Zhao to defend it, and it is necessary to rush time, and it must be taken before the Wei army reinforcements come, which is indeed not easy to attack. However, a person, his spiritual power is limited, Hao Zhao may be a tough guy with perseverance, but there are very few people like him who can be found by the Wei soldiers in the city.

If Zhuge Liang has been adopting the strategy of disturbing the city and feints, three days later, Hao Zhao will be blown to the core, and after seven days, Chen Cang will be broken.

Therefore, as soon as Jin Jue heard that the city of Caohan was strong in the Ma Teng army, he had already thought of a good strategy to break the city.

However, in the plan formulated by Jin Jue, the people who finally broke through the city were not Ma Tengjun and Ma Dai.

Early the next morning, Ma Dai came to Jin Jue's camp tent again and asked in a deep voice: "Jin Gongzi, what should our army do next?" ”

"Yawn!" Jin Jue yawned heavily, walked out of the camp tent, bowed his hand at Ma Dai, and ordered without thinking: "Continue to disturb the city, just under the wall of the eastern city, General Pony personally led the five hundred cavalry who rested last night, and every once in a while, well, half an hour, rush to the city." When they reached the land of a stone's throw, they took the initiative to stop. For half an hour, he rushed down to the city without making a sound, and for an hour, he rushed down the city with a collective shout.

This distance can be tested appropriately, but in short, you should not let the archers of the defending city shoot you. This is up to you, General Pony, and the soldiers in charge of the camp last night could not rest for the time being, so they were also dressed neatly and waited outside the east gate on horseback, in case the enemy suddenly opened the city gate and attacked you. In the afternoon, they were replaced by those who beat the drums and sang gold last night. ”

This time, Jin Jue didn't discuss with Ma Dai again, but directly ordered, and after speaking, he pointed to Li Feng who came out of another tent and said, "By the way, my entourage will also go with General Ma in a while, and his bow and arrow shoot well!" ”

Maybe he figured out a little bit of Jin Jue's intentions, Ma Dai didn't say anything more, and it didn't make any sense for him to arrange for a subordinate to join the army, so he immediately turned around and arranged.

Ma Dai knew that what his uncle wanted was the final result, so he didn't care about the process, as long as he finally took the city of Caohan if the casualties did not exceed the ordinary, he would be considered to have completed the task. At that time, the post of Taishou of Longxi County was in his pocket.

Therefore, Ma Dai is not resistant to Jin Jue's orders now.
