418. Tianshui City
The soldiers are very fast, and since Han Fei has decided to send troops, the action is quite fast. It only took three days to prepare, Ma Chao took 10,000 horses and went straight to Wudu City, and after meeting Ma Dai, he only rested for one night, and then they rushed to Tianshui City in the next day.
The general of Tianshui City is named Jiang Yin, who is a person from Tianshui Ji County, although this person is from a poor family, he is quite talented. Tianshui City is well governed by it.
Ma Chao rushed to Tianshui City, but he was discovered by the soldiers at the head of the city when he was thirty miles away from the city. It turned out that Jiang Yin, as the city lord of Tianshui City, had been paying attention to the movements of the soldiers and horses in Wudu.
After knowing that Wudu had soldiers and horses out of the city, he sent people to strengthen the guard at the head of the city. Sure enough, he gambled right, and Ma Chao really came to attack Tianshui City. So after discovering the enemy, Jiang Jian immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, and at the same time sent fast horses to Chang'an to ask for help.
Ma Chao led his men and horses to attack the city, only to find that the city head had already been prepared, and the city gate had been closed. Ma Chao looked at the neat soldiers of Cao at the head of the city, not to mention the fire in his heart!
So Ma Chao immediately ordered someone to call for a battle, but he let the people he sent to scream and cut his throat, but the city head ignored it! Ma Chao had no choice, so he ordered people to camp twenty miles away. At the same time, he sent his brother Ma Dai to cut down wood and make ladders. On this day, the defenders of Water City closed the city gate tightly, and it seemed that they were planning to defend it to the death, so Ma Chao had only one way left to attack.
When night fell, Ma Chao and his soldiers were tired, not to mention the attack, this was another afternoon, camping and logging! So everyone in the camp slept very deeply that night.
Jiang Jian saw that Ma Chao chose to camp twenty miles away from the city, and immediately had other ideas. Then he quietly sent a large number of scouts to investigate, and after nightfall, the scouts reported back: "The defense of the Qi army camp has been relaxed. ”
Jiang Jian heard that he immediately knew that his opportunity had come, so he gathered all the troops in the city, and then he gathered 8,000 men and horses, so Jiang Jian took these 8,000 people quietly out of the city and came to the outside of the Qi army camp.
Although the Qi army was guarded by people, it could not stop the large group of men and horses under Jiang Yin's command. So after a charge, Jiang Jian rushed into the camp of the Qi army with his men and horses. Entering the camp like this, Jiang Jian immediately ordered people to set fire everywhere.
Ma Chao woke up in his sleep, and his personal guards came to report: "The enemy has attacked the camp!" Ma Chao was shocked, and immediately got up and killed before he had time to put on his armor. He killed dozens of Cao soldiers with a gun, and suddenly saw a person on the opposite side directing Cao Jun to set fire!
Ma Chao was furious, and he swung his gun and ran towards Jiang Yin. Jiang Jian saw Ma Chao rushing at this time, and immediately rushed to Ma Chao with a gun. Ma Chao didn't block, but directly stabbed Jiang Jian in the chest.
Jiang Jian was taken aback by Ma Chao's actions, and said in his heart: "Why doesn't this Ma Chao play cards according to the routine, is his shot going to die with me?" Thinking of this, Jiang Jian immediately changed his moves, and after returning the gun, he blocked Ma Chao's big gun with one shot.
Ma Chao immediately launched a crazy attack around Jiang Jian with a shot, Jiang Jian brandished a big gun and tried his best to resist, and more than a dozen photos passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Jian found that he was not Ma Chao's opponent at all.
So he had the idea of retreating, and it happened that at this time, the tent next to them caught fire, and Ma Chao, who was scurrying around with flames, had to dodge aside, which gave Jiang Jian a certain amount of space, and he turned around and left with the people.
Ma Chao wanted to lead someone to chase after him, but was stopped by Ma Dai. He said: "Big brother is poor and don't chase! Ma Chao glanced at his brother, suddenly sighed, and then stopped the war horse.
This time the camp suffered heavy losses, although not many people died, but the tents and baggage were lost a lot. Tapping the data of the night, the next morning, after Ma Chao saw it, he directly gathered the people and horses to retreat ten miles, and then set up camp again, waiting for Han Fei to lead a large group of people to arrive.
After another day, Han Fei rushed to the big tent with people. Sitting on the main seat, I listened to Ma Chao talk about what had happened in the past two days. Han Fei's brows furrowed when he heard this, and it took him a long time before he asked, "Meng Qi, what name do you say the guard of Tianshui City would add to this?" ”
"His name is Jiang Yin, this person's martial arts are not high, I have been leading people to call the battle every day for the past few days, and I have never seen him go out of the city to fight!"
Han Fei's brows furrowed even more when he heard this, he always felt that the name of the guard on the other side, where did he seem to have heard of it, the surname Jiang? Could it be his family? Suddenly, Han Fei heard something, he turned his head to Ma Chao and said, "Go and check, who is in this Jiang Yan's family!" ”
Ma Chao immediately ordered to go down, and there was a reply in a short time. It turned out that this Jiang Jian had a wife and a child who lived in the city, and only his old mother still lived in his hometown. After listening to what Ma Chao said, Han Fei opened his mouth and asked, "Meng Qi, didn't you say what is the name of Jiang Yin's son?" ”
Ma Chao looked down at the information, which had the names of everyone in the Jiang family on it. "Jiang Yin's son is named Jiang Wei!" Ma Chao replied.
"Sure enough, it's him!" Han Fei was shocked when he heard this, so he said to Ma Chao with a straight face: "Tianshui City is going to be taken, and I want this Jiang Jian family too!" ”
Ma Chao was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Strategist, what are you ......?"
Han Fei waved his hand and said, "Meng Qi doesn't need to say much, I have a reason for this." You go and help me do it now, that is, you must invite Jiang Yin's mother to the camp for me! ”
Ma Chao didn't know why, but he still followed Han Fei's words and went to invite Jiang Yin's mother to the camp. Han Fei personally warmly received Jiang Yin's mother.
Jiang Yan's mother didn't appreciate Han Fei's enthusiasm, but she didn't act too drasticly, so Han Fei talked to her. After some exchanges, Jiang Yin's mother was moved by Han Fei's persistence, so she agreed to write a letter to Jiang Yin.
