Chapter 220 Three Cities on the Fifth Day, Ma's Earthquake in the South
Spiritual support is often very important, especially in ancient times, the moment when the Han flag stood on the city tower, the dozens of Shu soldiers who rushed to the city to fight suddenly became brave and abnormal, and they were not afraid of death, but on the contrary, the barbarians were stunned, and they were timid and did not know how to resist.
Although the number of barbarians is hundreds, they are afraid of the tail, do not dare to fight with the Shu soldiers, at this time the Shu soldiers have already killed the head, the pair of crimson eyes, so that the barbarians suddenly saw a sharp decrease in their fighting spirit, dare not match.
It didn't take long for the gates of the city to be opened, and the cavalry army outside the city immediately rode into the city, and those who put down their resistance were fine, but those who resisted with swords in their hands were mercilessly slaughtered.
Somewhere in the city, the barbarians after surrendering were half-squatting in fear, looking at the surrounding Shu soldiers from time to time, and whenever they saw their blades, they couldn't help but feel a cool breeze coming, and their necks couldn't help but shrink.
The knives of the Shu soldiers were mixed with blood, and in the war, there was no chance to wipe the weapons, and most of the blood came from the barbarians.
Ma Dai, who had also just experienced the baptism of blood, had not yet calmed down, so he took the royal pigeon from the hand of the general and took out the note.
Li Hui had already taken in the remnants of the Busy Tooth Changsuo, and was coming towards Dong at this time, and briefly replied to Dong's situation at this time.
"What are the losses of our army in this battle?"
After giving Li Hui the news, Ma Dai's first concern was casualties, the more powerful the troops, the more precious they were, although Ma Dai's men and horses were not famous in history, far less brilliant than the Wudang Fei Army and Bai Yu soldiers, but when it came to preciousness, they were no less than them, just because they were the elite cavalry of Shu, and during the Northern Expedition, Wei Yan led the elite iron cavalry of Shu, and Ma Dai was the deputy general at that time, so the current thousands of iron cavalry may be the elite team in the future.
After a brief count, the adjutant general said: "One hundred and forty wounded, one hundred and seven killed!" ”
In this battle, the barbarian combat power is not strong, and during the siege of the city, it is mainly the cavalry in the higher cultivation of a few people who took the lead in the city, although these people are in a very dangerous situation, but also greatly reduced the casualties of the Shu army, most of these casualties are still the cavalry did not rush over, was shot by the barbarian arrows, shot and wounded.
Despite his heavy mood, Ma Dai did not stop his pace, jumped down from the city, fell on the horse's back, and shouted without thinking: "Go!" ”
The soldiers and horses in the city did not have time to rest, so they followed Ma Dai, and only some soldiers and horses were left in the city, mainly wounded soldiers.
The reason why these people were left behind was because Ma Dai himself knew that the next battle would be nothing more than more exhausting, and these wounded soldiers would follow, and their safety would not be guaranteed, and at the same time, it would also affect the speed of the march.
Cavalry is a great weapon in ancient warfare, fast and powerful, but it is not as flexible as infantry in some specific occasions, such as mountains and woodlands.
Galloping all the way without resting, when passing through the vegetable farmer mountain, Ma Dai slowed down and let the army rest on the horse.
It took a full day to get out of Cainong Mountain, but when you got out of Cainong Mountain, there was a flat continent in front of you, and the advantage of the cavalry was once again revealed.
Coming out of Cainong Mountain, wading across the river, you can go straight to Qinzang along the avenue.
The three cities of Qin Zang, Lian Ran, and Dianchi are not far apart, and the reason why they rested for a while in Cainong Mountain is to take the three cities in one go, which is located in the middle of Yizhou County, and is also the foundation of Meng Shu in Yizhou, but at this time, there are only seven or eight hundred people in each city, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and their combat power is greatly reduced, so although it is difficult to take them, it is not impossible!
In the Shu army camp in front of Yunnan City, Zhuge Liang sat on one side, still looking at the map on the table with all his body intent, and a young man sitting on the main seat was also looking at the map, and talked to Zhuge Liang from time to time.
The young man is naturally the Shu lord Liu Chan who has only arrived in the past two days, in the eyes of outsiders, including Zhuge Liang, Liu Chan has been studying the map of Yizhou for the past two days, as if to prepare for the next battle with Meng Shu, but the real situation is that Liu Chan is studying what stage of Zhuge Liang's fight with Meng Shu has reached, and does the seven captures of Meng Shu really exist? Liu Chan was not sure.
Recently, when the news was obtained, although Meng Huo suffered several defeats, he did not lose Yunnan City, nor was he captured by Zhuge Liang, so no matter from the perspective of history or interpretation, this war with Meng Huo has just begun.
If the seven captures of Meng Shu were real, it would be too much of a waste of time, and when Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang were discussing advice, Yang Yi slowly walked in, bowed down and bowed: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, General Ma Dai sent a battle report!" ”
got up and took the battle report, his eyes swept up, only to see the corners of Liu Chan's mouth slightly lifted, and after a few moments, he smiled: "Okay!" Ma Dai has already taken the county town of Yizhou Dianchi, so that Meng Huo's foundation in Yizhou County no longer exists, and replied to Ma Dai, asking him to repair for three days, and three days later he will meet me in Yunnan City, and I will reward him generously. ”
After receiving the Ma Dai battle report handed over by Liu Chan, Zhuge Liang swept his eyes twice, and couldn't help but praise: "The Ma family is a hero, in addition to Ma Chao, Ma Dai has also become famous!" ”
"Haha! In the past, there was General Miaocai, Hubu Longyou, and now I have General Ma Dai, and he will go down to the four cities in five days! ”
Ma Dai recovered the central and western parts of Yizhou County, which Liu Chan did not know, it is different from history, presumably this is the result of the butterfly effect, after all, Liu Chan has been in this world for more than a year, and Shu has also undergone many changes because of it, and some things have deviated from the trajectory of history imperceptibly, which is exactly what Liu Chan wants, not only to deviate from the historical trajectory, Liu Chan's ambition is to change history.
"Having such a good general is really a blessing for the Han and a blessing for Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang bowed and congratulated.
But after being happy, Zhuge Liang seemed to remember something, and immediately spoke: "Your Majesty just said that you want to meet Ma Dai in Yunnan, isn't Your Majesty going to attack Yunnan City?" ”
"Isn't the prime minister planning to attack Yunnan? Do you want to keep waiting? Liu Chan asked with a smile.
Looking at Liu Chan at this time, Zhuge Liang felt a slight unhappiness in his heart, more of a worried component, perhaps he still thought that Liu Chan was inexperienced in his heart.
And Liu Chan seemed to have seen something, still showing a warm smile, but more with an explanation of the meaning: "Father Xiang should also guess, even if we don't take the initiative to do it, Meng Shu should also do it, just imagine, the hometown was served, hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass were robbed, who can not feel distressed?" Who can not be angry? At least I'll be struggling for most of the day! ”
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Zhuge Liang was completely relieved, and said: "If Meng Shu makes a move, then how does Your Majesty plan to deal with it, just like attacking the heart with soldiers and attacking the city below; Mental warfare is the top, military warfare is the bottom, and before the southern expedition, His Majesty and his ministers set a strategy to attack the heart! ”
