Chapter 242: Wusun Advance Team
Beggar Lowe was full of joy, thinking that he could capture Jinmancheng, and was fantasizing about how to slaughter the city? How to take revenge on these Han and Cheshi people?
But he was awakened by the sudden attack horn, and when he saw the seven or eight thousand Han cavalry killed from the west, how could he dare to face the battle?
I didn't care about the men who were besieging the city, so I turned around and ran, and Mingjin collected my troops while running.
As soon as Ma Chao saw that Beggar Lowe had run away, he hurriedly went down to the city, opened the city gate, and Pegasus chased him out.
Ma Chao's BMW ran fast, the last to come first, and it didn't run a few miles before catching up with Beggowe.
Beggar Rovi didn't dare to turn back to fight Ma Chao at all, he let his personal guards entangle Ma Chao to buy himself some time.
It's a pity that the gap between these guards and Ma Chao is not a little bit, and no one can block Ma Chao's shot.
So Ma Chao was not delayed for long, and chased after him again.
Beggar Rowe shot Ma Chao with a bow and arrow, he was a Xianbei general, and his archery skills were not bad, and Ma Chao also used a bow and arrow to shoot at him.
The result can be imagined, in the end, Ma Chao won, Ma Chao did not kill him, but shot his war horse and captured Beggar Lowei alive.
When Ma Chao returned to the city of Jinman City with Qivrowi, the battle to encircle and annihilate the Xianbei people was not over, and all the Xianbei people were surrounded in the middle.
There are still about 2,000 Xianbei people who are stubbornly resisting to the death, but they are surrounded by 8,000 Han troops, and the end of stubborn resistance to the end can be imagined.
Ma Chao took the beggar in his hand, raised it high, and shouted throughout the audience, "Your generals have been captured alive by me, and you still don't lay down your arms and surrender?" Surrender or die! ”
An interpreter shouted in Xianbei language, "Surrender and die!" ”
The Xianbei soldiers had long lost their fighting spirit, and when they saw their generals being raised with one hand like a chicken, they were all subdued, and they all laid down their weapons and surrendered on their knees!
Ma Chao came to see Hao Zhao with Beggar Lowe, but Hao Zhao neither praised nor criticized, but only asked how Ma Chao's reconnaissance battalion was casual?
Ma Chao shook his head, "Report to the brigade commander, the reconnaissance battalion has suffered nearly four hundred casualties, this time it was my fault, I didn't fully understand the enemy's situation, and I didn't know that the enemy still had so many people in Beilu." ”
Hao Zhao nodded, "The casualties are indeed not small, but you have made a great contribution to attracting the enemy under Jinman City and encircling and annihilating the enemy by a large army." ”
"Overall, the merits still outweigh the faults, give you credit, and go back to fill up the reconnaissance battalion for you!"
Ma Chao asked with a hippie smile: "Brigade Commander, how did you come from the west?" ”
Hao Zhao explained that Ma Dai led people back to Jiaohe City to deliver the letter as soon as possible, but the guide said that the Cheshi Ancient Road was too difficult to walk, and if 6,000 people climbed over the Cheshi Ancient Road, it would take ten days and half a month, to say the least.
Since the ancient road of Cheshi is not feasible, then you can only go to Dongjimi from the main road, then turn east, pass through Beilu, and then go to Jinmancheng.
Anyway, the armies of the Xianbei people are all in Jinmancheng, and these two countries have no troops, so they can't delay the trip.
Hao Zhao followed the suggestion that came to mind, led the whole brigade to attack, and caught up with Zhang Xiu, who was advancing normally, halfway.
Hearing that Ma Chao was in danger, Zhang Xiu was naturally anxious and greatly accelerated his speed.
There are only a few hundred Xianbei people stationed in Dongjimi, and the army of Dongjimi is only a thousand people.
Taking advantage of the fact that the city gate of Dongjimi was not closed, they did not know the arrival of the Han army at all, and Zhang Xiu directly led the army into the city.
The wind swept away, and the thousand people were slaughtered, and then without stopping, they passed through the city, and the army turned eastward.
When passing through Beilu, there was no obstruction, and the Xianbei people were left behind, and the hundreds of troops in Beilu did not dare to do anything at all, so they surrendered directly.
Therefore, there was no delay in the whole process, of course, it is necessary to rush overnight, but fortunately, the road is smooth, there are no accidents, except for the night rush There are many people who fall and have blue noses and swollen eyes.
The Xianbei army of 6,000 people was completely annihilated, and a leading general like Qifu Luowei was captured alive, which can be regarded as a brilliant result.
The king of the Cheshi Houguo also came from the mountains with everyone, Hao Zhao appeased the other party, and asked the other party to send an envoy to meet the protector of the Western Regions in the back.
The Han army brigade escorted more than 2,000 Xianbei prisoners to Beilu.
Before leaving, Hao Zhao, Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu and other generals led the whole army to personally bury the remains of the 300 Han officers and soldiers who died here at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain.
They built a cemetery here, and the king of the Cheshi Houguo swore that as long as the Cheshi Houguo existed, he would take care of the cemetery for generations and worship these martyrs!
When the Han army passed through Beilu, the king of Beilu came to plead guilty, and was willing to obey Hao Zhao's military order, and sent an envoy to the Western Regions Protectorate in Liuzhong City to pay tribute.
Hao Zhao and the others returned to Dongjimi and joined the Wusun delegation left behind, and Princess Suguang cried with joy when she saw that Ma Chao was safe and sound.
The attitude of children was introduced into the eyes of everyone, and Zhang Xiu and others made fun of Ma Chao!
The king of Dongjimi had already died in the chaos when Zhang Xiu was besieging the city.
So Hao Zhao selected one of the Eastern and Mi nobles who were close to the Han people to take over as king, and rebuilt an army loyal to the new king.
Because if you go all the way west from the east and Mi, you will enter the border of Wusun.
However, the eastern half of Wusun Kingdom fell into the hands of Yue Ban and the Western Xianbei.
Western Xianbei has recruited a large army and wants to defeat the army of Wusun in one go.
It is necessary to have a good understanding of the specific situation and then determine the future battle plan.
Princess Suguang is timid, she has been away from home for too long, and her homesickness is out of control.
Hao Zhao and the others discussed, it was too passive to wait for the arrival of Fazheng's army, so it was better to send an army to escort Princess Suguang back to the capital of Wusun Kingdom first, in Chigu City in the Tianshan Mountains.
It is also good to investigate the customs and marching routes, and obtain the latest domestic intelligence of Wusun and the movements of the Xianbei people.
In the end, Hao Zhao agreed, Ma Chao's reconnaissance battalion and Zhang Xiu's cavalry regiment formed an advance team, and the advanced Wusun country was investigated, and the advance team was commanded by Zhang Xiu, and Ma Chao was the deputy, which was decided by the positions of the two people.
In October, Cao Cao intended to recover the three counties of Jibei, Lu, and Taishan, which had been occupied by the Qingzhou army.
An elite army of 50,000 people, including the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, was dispatched, the equipment level of both sides was similar, and the ability of the military division was very good, so it was very difficult for each other to ambush each other once.
Although Cao Cao's total strength is a little more than that of the Qingzhou army, Cao Cao's enemies are also more than the Qingzhou army, in addition to Lu Bu, there are also Liu Bei, Yuan Shu, and even Yuan Shao, a former ally who is now an enemy.
Ever since Lu Yi and Xiandeng died at the hands of Guo Jia, Yuan Shao thought so, and he had always held a grudge against Cao Cao.
Yanzhou and Yuzhou are both places of four wars, surrounded by strong enemies, so Cao Cao and the Qingzhou army fought, but they did not dare to use all their strength, and they always had to leave a back hand to prevent accidents.
After so many years, the Qingzhou Army has become a system of its own, except for the previous graduates of the Shaling Military Academy, some of them will enter the Qingzhou Army for actual combat training, and the Qingzhou Army itself also has training camps to train recruits and junior officers.
