Chapter 230: Ma Daoling Ambush
Huang Zhong was puzzled: "Can you conclude that Cheng Pu will definitely be able to win the scheme?" ”
Han Hao continued: "Cheng Pu has few troops and does not dare to fight with our army, so he can only consume the strength of our army in this way. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info have an opportunity, and they will definitely seize it. ”
Guan Ping asked: "According to the previous situation, Cheng Pu can dispatch a maximum of 5,000 men and horses each time, this time, how many men and horses are in the front army?" ”
"Ten thousand. Five thousand for the front, five for the rear. Let Cheng Pu feel normal and succeed. ”
Huang Zhong nodded in agreement: "Then let those barbarians who have been subdued be cannon fodder in front, just to deal with some barbarians who live up to discipline!" ”
After noon, Guan Ping led 10,000 horses to march to Makufu Mountain, but if you have a careful look, there are obviously many more barbarian soldiers in the front army, accounting for more than seventy percent, and most of them are old and weak soldiers, and the rear army of 5,000 men and horses is much less. But this is also a normal situation, after the subjugation of the barbarians, the integration of the barbarians in the battalions is indeed uneven, but not many people doubt it.
All this naturally couldn't escape the eyes and ears of the Jiangdong scouts, and quickly spread the news to Ai County. The army did not march quickly, and in the evening it reached the outskirts of Ma Daoling. Guan Ping ordered to make food and rest, and tomorrow he would cross Madaoling to attack Ai County.
After Guan Ping finished eating, he called out the two captains to his account, one of them was white and thin, and he was a Han man named Ma Zhong, a young lieutenant promoted by Guan Ping's subordinates. One person is burly, with rough skin, a shiny and black complexion, and his facial features are obviously dressed as a barbarian named Luli, and he is the captain promoted by Huang Zhong to lead the barbarians.
"Ma Zhong, Luli, tomorrow our army will attack Ai County, I don't know which of you two is willing to be the pioneer and open the way first? General Huang said that the first person to make contributions to the city this time will be directly named a general. ”
"Me!"
"Ao (me)!"
The two immediately argued, and Guan Ping did not interrupt, allowing the two to argue. Luli was very unfavorable to speak Chinese, and he was so angry that he didn't know what to say, so he directly lifted Ma Zhong up and threw him out of the tent, and shouted to Gan Ping: "Ao go, you must be a pioneer!" If not, I'll throw you out too!" ”
Lu Li clenched his fists as he spoke, looking like Guan Ping was ready to do it if he didn't agree. Guan Ping showed a timid look in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "That...... That's you! You are a pioneer! However, we have to leave in the middle of the night tonight. ”
Lu Li agreed, and immediately went out of the account to find his subordinates. After Luli left, Ma Zhong came in: "General, your subordinates are acting like you!" The two laughed.
Luli was the leader of a barbarian tribe who took refuge in the Han people, but he was very dissatisfied with the rule of the Han army, and often found faults.
In the middle of the night, Guan Ping immediately called the whole army to march in full gear.
Ma Daoling, is the only passage from Xia Jun to Ai County, the mountain road is not narrow, enough for six or seven people to go in parallel, but because the middle is large, the two ends are small, and the shape resembles a horse and gets its name.
Guan Ping led the army forward, and ordered not to make too much noise, everything was the same as a normal attack on Ai County, and it was a sudden march in the middle of the night, and Cheng Pu's scouts were even more confused, and the news came out again.
Lu led 5,000 people in front, and Guan Ping led 5,000 people in the rear, all the way forward. Passing through the belly of the horse, the former horse mountain becomes smaller.
Suddenly, only a trumpet sounded, and the sound of killing on the mountains on both sides was loud, and the arrows and stones fell quickly, and the 5,000 former troops led by Luli were immediately in chaos, and were shot and killed, and stoning to death abounded, killing and wounding five or six hundred people in an instant, and some people kept dying, making a scream before death. However, if you look closely, the casualties are mainly barbarians, and the Han people arrived at the back early under the leadership of Ma Zhong and did not suffer much loss.
"Stand back! Hurry back! Guan Ping immediately gave the order.
Guan Ping had been prepared for a long time, but he didn't look dazzling and flustered, and the panic was basically pretended. Everyone retreated, and when they reached the position of the horse's belly, the front became narrow again, and Guan Ping's rear army had already slowed down before the sneak attack, and retreated back as soon as they found the ambush, and at this time they had already withdrawn from the horse's belly. But the speed of the rear army immediately slowed down. At the same time, a sergeant came to report, and Zhicheng Pu really led the army to kill, with 6,000 men and horses.
There was an ambush just now, and the barbarians led by Luli were shot and killed more than 1,000 people on the spot, and the barbarians have always disrespected military discipline, especially when there is a crisis, they found that they were ambushed, and immediately became chaotic, crowding and trampling each other, and at least 1,500 people were killed and wounded, and even more, in order to seize the road, they also waved their knives at their companions and slashed them, and at this moment they lost nearly 3,000 people, and their strength was very weak. Even Luli was hit by an arrow. However, I have to admire this guy's strong body, and it doesn't have much impact if he takes an arrow.
Under the special command of Guan Ping, the barbarians were blocked at the west end of the horse's belly stone road and could not retreat, and they were muttering and shouting into a pot of porridge.
The mountains on both sides of the horse belly stone road are low, the grass and trees are sparse, and it is not suitable for hiding ambushes, which is also the reason why the two sides are no longer ambushed here, there is already an ambush range here, the horse belly stone road, Cheng Pu led the army to kill, and immediately blocked the mountain road at the east end, if you want to attack, you can only fight to the death, if you want to escape, it is too late, in the horse belly stone road, there are at least more than 1,000 barbarians blocked inside. Luli is in a dilemma at the moment.
"Jiangdong sons, kill me!" Cheng Pu shouted, brandishing an iron halberd and snake spear and rushing up.
Guan Ping had expected Luli's situation and asked his subordinates to take a ladder to raise himself, but he didn't expect Luli to be able to survive the ambush, and he could only admire this guy in his heart for being hard enough. Looking at Luli who was thirty zhang away in a panic, Guan Ping shouted as hard as he could: "Luli, the Jiangdong rats have been killed, when will you wait without a fight at this moment, don't you want to avenge your clansmen?" ”
As the saying goes, mud is also three points of fire, let alone people. Luli and ambush, his subordinate clansmen were killed and injured countless times, Luli was indifferent to people other than the clansmen, but he was very concerned about his real clansmen, among the dead and wounded just now, his own clansmen accounted for more than half, and his heart was already extremely angry.
"Whew!" Lu Li's face was pale, and his already dark face was even darker, if he wasn't here, he would be scared to death, and he shouted loudly, and then said something.
Guan Ping didn't understand, so he saw that the barbarians suddenly stopped crowding and retreated at this moment, and all turned around and rushed away with a scream at the Jiangdong army.
Although the barbarian soldier has a low IQ due to the problem of education, once the ferocity is aroused, he is really not afraid of death and cannot be underestimated. When Cheng Pu came to kill, he saw that the barbarians suddenly turned their heads to kill, and he was shocked. But the distance is close at hand, Cheng Pu can't retreat, he can only rush to kill, where the iron halberd snake spear flies, there must be a brute who is stabbed to death, but he rushed in front and was surrounded by more than ten brute soldiers, although he fought hard, there was always an omission, and he was immediately stabbed in the thigh, and blood gushed out.
Seeing that the main general was injured, the soldiers naturally rushed forward and hurried to the rescue. For a while, more than 1,000 barbarians and Jiangdong people and horses slaughtered in the stone road of the horse's belly, and after only a few breaths, they immediately dyed the place blood-colored, and the corpses were everywhere, like hell on earth.
