There was a sound of drums in my ears, but there was no shadow of the defenders in front of me?

The war drum is erected diagonally above the wall, and on top of the war drum, a ram is trapped with a rope. The ram's muzzle is tightly bound, and only its limbs can move.

The ram was hanging in the air, and it kept shaking its hooves and struggling, and the hooves were on the drums of war, and they had listened to the beating of the drums all night.

Ma Shumou looked at the scene in front of him, his face was a little ugly.

He had no idea that the defenders would evacuate, let alone that the defenders would evacuate like this.

Before he went to war, he was still terrified, so unbearable. But now that I look at it, this face is crackling, which makes Uncle Ma embarrassed.

The corners of Uncle Ma's mouth twitched slightly, and he gritted his teeth with hatred, but in the end, he was helpless, turned around and said, "Go back and inform the marshal that the traitor has abandoned the pass and fled."

In the big tent of the Chinese army.

Uncle Ma bowed down and reported the matter to Han Baohu.

Han Baohu's eyes flashed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "These traitors have some ability, and they abandoned the pass and fled under the nose of Ben Shuai...... It's really calculating. ”

Han Baohu didn't ask Uncle Ma what he was planning, and directly ordered: "The whole army will enter the customs, and after General Yuwen arrives, I will make plans."

"The last general obeys!" Ma Shumou hurriedly responded.

……

Let's say that Luo Cheng and the others, taking advantage of the drums in the night, directly led the army to evacuate from Guanhou.

Their provocations during the day are not looking for trouble, they are all paving the way for this moment.

And just as Luo Cheng expected, their actions were not discovered by the imperial army at all, and they safely withdrew from Qilin Pass and went to Sui County.

Sima Chao was beside Luo Cheng, with a look of admiration, and said: "The three generals are really clever, I'm afraid that Han Baohu will not be able to predict that we will evacuate here."

Now Sima Chao has seen it. It is not a rational move to be tough with the soldiers and horses of the imperial court in Qilin Pass, it is better to lead the troops to withdraw to the territory of Nanyang and keep them for later use.

Luo Cheng smiled slightly, and replied with his chin bowed: "This kind of trick is okay to cover up for a while." But a veteran like Han Baohu has been in battle for a long time, and when he stays in the daytime, he will definitely be seen through by Han Baohu. I don't have to delay, let's go back to the city first, and then talk about other things. ”

At this moment, Sima Chao was very convinced of Luo Cheng, and when he heard Luo Cheng's words, he did not question it, and replied with a straight face: "The meaning of the three generals, the last general understands!"

After rushing all night, Luo Cheng expected that the imperial court soldiers and horses would not chase after him, so he ordered the army to rest temporarily. He didn't set up camp, but waited for rest before setting off and meeting up with the county.

……

Where the Kirin Pass is located.

Since Luo Cheng and others had abandoned the pass and fled, Han Baohu led the army and stationed in Qilin Pass, wanting to use this as a foundation to enter Nanyang.

After another half a day, Yuwen Chengdu finally arrived as promised. He led the army, escorted grain and grass, and arrived at the Qilin Pass.

Yuwen Chengdu led the troops to Qilin Pass, originally gearing up, ready to show off their skills.

But when he saw the Qilin Pass, which had changed hands and planted the handsome flag of Han Capture Tiger, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Didn't you say that when he came, he would attack again?

Doesn't it say that in Qilin Guanzhong, the fierce generals are brave, and Han Baohu is not an opponent?

Why is it that the Qilin Pass has been broken now, and even the army has already settled in it?

Without waiting for Yuwen Chengdu to think about it, Han Baohu sent someone to welcome him into the Guanzhong.

Han Baohu knew that Yuwen Chengdu had doubts in his heart, and explained: "Originally, there was a strong general in Qilin Pass, who was very brave, and this commander was not his opponent."

"Ben Shuai originally wanted to wait for General Yuwen to arrive, and then attack. Who would have thought that these traitors were actually designed, and they abandoned the pass and evacuated at night. It was also unexpected by the old man. Han Baohu's face was slightly gloomy, and he said in a deep voice.

Yuwen Chengdu realized this and said: "These traitors can escape for a while, but they can't escape for a lifetime. The marshal can rest assured that the last general is willing to lead a large army all the way to break through Nanyang and capture the thief leader Wu Yunzhao. ”

Han Baohu was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something. Ma Shumou hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What kind of identity is General Yuwen, how can he make a move easily? If the marshal does not give up, the last general is willing to be the first to fight! ”

Yuwen Chengdu's ability, Ma Shumou naturally knows. In his opinion, if Yuwen Chengdu makes a move, it will be okay to take Nanyang. But what's in it for him?

Didn't he come to Nanyang to be a pioneer just for merit? If Yuwen Chengdu is allowed to lead the troops to fight, not to mention that the limelight is robbed, and the credit is not his share, how can Uncle Ma be willing?

Although after several battles before, Ma Shumou already had a shadow in his heart, but at this moment, for the sake of credit, Ma Shumou can't take care of so much.

When the time comes, he will lead the troops to fight, as long as he can win a few battles, he really can't deal with it later, and it is not too late to ask Yuwen Chengdu to make a move!

Moreover, Ma Shumou has learned the previous lesson, and he knows very well that the situation is changing on the battlefield. It is not enough to rely on the strength of one person alone, and if you can't beat one person, then you can beat it in a group......

Uncle Ma's words were sincere, and Han Baohu was also a little surprised. Let this guy lead the troops to fight in the morning, why is he so active now, is it possible that his self-confidence bursts after he has conquered a level?

However, Ma Shumou's attitude was still excellent, Han Baohu didn't think much about it, but said: "You are right, General Yuwen came from the rear to transport grain, and the journey was tiring, so it is indeed inappropriate to order him to send troops."

Yuwen Chengdu swept his gaze, glanced at Uncle Ma twice, and didn't say much. How did he not know what Uncle Ma was thinking? But he didn't bother to care, since Uncle Ma wanted to fight for merit, he let him go, and there was a place for him to make a move in the future.

Han Baohu nodded slightly, and ordered: "Since General Ma took the initiative to ask for help, this commander has nothing to do." Then General Ma led 50,000 troops and went to battle first, and the commander sent 12 generals to help General Ma! ”

Uncle Ma was slightly happy in his heart, and hurriedly nodded in response: "The last general will take the order." The marshal can rest assured that at the end of this battle, he will definitely bring out the majesty of our imperial army. ”

Han Baohu nodded, and didn't say much. If Uncle Ma can really kill Wu Yunzhao to the point of losing his armor, it will save trouble. But in his opinion, Ma Shumou obviously has no such ability.

Han Baohu doesn't have high requirements for Uncle Ma, as long as he can win a few battles, don't be too embarrassed. After all, there are still him and Yuwen Chengdu in the back, and the traitors can't make any big waves.

After receiving the order of Han Capture Tiger, Ma Shumou was happy in his heart, and he was in the camp.

Here, there are four of his cronies. Uncle Ma Mou Zhengse said: "This time, the general has asked the marshal to be the vanguard, and the first battle in Nanyang will be followed, understand?"

The fourth general hurriedly replied: "I understand my humble duties!"

Ma Shumou nodded and said: "I heard that the Nanyang thief Wu Yunzhao is very powerful, so the general will go first. If you are invincible, you should not scruple and go into battle together, and you will definitely take down the enemy general. ”
