707, break two armies in one day
"Forget it, Cheng Yi, this time we are planted, it is better to come down! I think we still have some effect! ”
In such a desperate situation, Ma Wan didn't want to really fight to the end, he was originally a horse thief, and later followed Han Sui and Ma Teng to rebel and pull out of his team, but in general, he still didn't have much family to worry about, and now even if he dropped, he didn't have to worry about anything else.
"Down? This ......"
Cheng Yi didn't expect Ma Yu to say such a suggestion, he didn't want to surrender, but he was afraid that Zhu Wei would not accept their surrender.
Surrendering so easily also shows that Cheng Yi and Ma Wan don't really care about the relationship with Han Sui, although they are small warlords in Xiliang who are attached to Han Sui, but the relationship between them and Han Sui is more like a vassal alliance.
Or it is the model of the grassland tribal alliance, usually Chengyi and Ma Play have their own independent small forces and their own territory, but when something happens, they will receive Han Sui's summoning order, so as to follow Han Sui to fight.
But in fact, they are not Han Sui's direct subordinates after all, although they will call Han Sui a commander, as if they will obey Han Sui's military orders, but if they encounter something difficult to resist, they don't need to fight for Han Sui to the end.
At this time, most of the troops of Cheng Yi and Ma Wan were almost solved by the light cavalry led by Zhang Liao in one round of raids, and even if these remnants fled back to Han Sui's side, they were afraid that they would be swallowed up by Han Sui.
Then they might as well surrender directly to Zhu Wei's side, at least now it seems that the army on Zhu Wei's side also has the momentum of a fierce dragon crossing the river, and Han Sui, the head snake, may not be able to withstand it.
The only worry is that they want to surrender, but Zhu Wei's side is still unwilling to accept their surrender, so it will be in vain.
"Chengyi, if you descend early, you can still leave some brothers, otherwise this little bit of family wealth will be gone!"
Ma Yu is more open than Cheng Yi, and now they have at least more than a thousand henchmen around them, but if they are really hit by Zhu Wei's army, they will really be captured on their own initiative if they surrender again.
"Good! It's falling, it's falling! This is really unbeatable! ”
Cheng Yi thought about it, and then looked back at the Zhu Wei light cavalry that was chasing like a wave, and then looked at the Zhu Wei heavy cavalry that was blocking the front like a chime, he really didn't have the heart to fight again.
"We have descended, we have descended! Don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows! ”
As Cheng Yi and Ma Play made up their minds, they took the initiative to pull their horses to stop, but there were light cavalry chasing behind, so the Liangzhou cavalry led by Cheng Yi and Ma Play hurriedly shouted loudly in their mouths.
Hearing their shouts, Zhang Liao didn't do anything to the end, so he ordered to stop the archery, and then slowly surrounded it with the cavalry, and Zhang Xiu, who commanded the heavy cavalry here, also slowly forced up with the heavy cavalry.
"The one who descends discarded! Surrender the Descender! ”
After a while, the cavalry in Zhu's army approached, and they shouted in their mouths, so Cheng Yi and Ma Yu let their cavalry get off their horses and put down their blades, while waiting for the people in Zhu's army to come up and speak.
Soon Cheng Yi and Ma Yu were quickly brought to Zhang Xiu, but Zhang Liao was reorganizing his light cavalry, guarding all around, and at the same time released a scout ranger on the front of the tyrant.
Zhang Xiu asked Cheng Yi and Ma Wan about their identities, and once again inquired about the military situation of Han Sui and Ma Teng in Chang'an City, so he took Cheng Yi and Ma Wan with him, and their original cavalry was escorted to the rear and handed over to Wei Yan's Jingnan Battalion for temporary care.
Now that they are still at war, even if Cheng Yi and Ma Play surrender, it is impossible to switch camps immediately, so separating them from their troops can be regarded as restricting and controlling them.
According to Cheng Yi and Ma Wan, there are about 4,000 cavalry garrisoned by Li Kan and Cheng Yinsuo's troops in Bashang, which is close to Chang'an City, and about 26,000 or 7,000 soldiers and horses from Han Sui's headquarters are stationed in Chang'an City, and there is also a candidate with about 3,000 troops left in the territory of Feng Yi.
In terms of the distribution of Han Sui's soldiers and horses, Li Kan and Cheng Yin's subordinates can be defeated in a battle just like dealing with Cheng Yi and Ma Play, but Han Sui's headquarters soldiers and horses will be a little troublesome to fight.
Han Sui's headquarters soldiers and horses are basically stationed in Chang'an City, so it will be difficult for the light cavalry led by Zhang Liao to give full play to the advantage of rushing and cavalry, and the next battle with Han Sui can only come to a hard fight.
However, after a battle against Cheng Yi and Ma Wan, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Liao were also greatly relieved about the combat power of their cavalry, at least they had an advantage in dealing with the Liangzhou cavalry.
So seeing that it was still early at this time, Zhang Liao simply took the light cavalry and killed the overlord, preparing to solve the cavalry of Li Kan and Cheng Yin.
Bashang was originally a plain land outside Chang'an City, and a lot of farmland was originally cultivated, but now the farmland has been abandoned into barren grassland, but it has also become the best battlefield for cavalry.
The cavalry and horses on Zhu Wei's side were all nailed to the horses' hooves, and they were not afraid of continuous rushing battles, so as Zhang Liao led his troops to rush over, soon Li Kan and Cheng Yin, who were stationed on the overlord, also followed in the footsteps of Cheng Yi and Ma Play.
However, Li Kan and Cheng Yin seem to have received a warning from the Liangzhou cavalry who escaped from Cheng Yi and Ma Wan, and may have heard that Zhu Wei's army was very strong in cavalry, so when they saw Zhang Liao with light cavalry, they took the initiative to retreat in the direction of Chang'an City.
In the end, although Zhang Liao led the light cavalry to pursue and shoot some Liangzhou cavalry of Li Kan and Cheng Yin, they still fled into Chang'an City with two or three thousand cavalry.
After all, Zhang Liao and the light cavalry did not dare to easily enter Chang'an City, so he showed off his might outside Chang'an City, but he also took the initiative to retreat back, and it was in this process that Wei Yan had also built a garrison camp on the side of Bashang, and Zhang Liao's light cavalry retreated into the camp to rest first.
Of course, the news that Zhu Wei's cavalry troops defeated Han Sui's cavalry stationed in Hongmen and dominated nearly 10,000 Liangzhou cavalry in one day also quickly reached the ears of Han Sui, Ma Teng, Zhong Xuan, and Wu Xi.
For a while, they were inevitably confused.
Han Sui originally underestimated the attack of Zhu Wei's army this time, after all, when Han Sui rebelled in the land of Sanfu in Chang'an, he defeated the imperial court's crusade army again and again.
Although the strength of Han Sui's side is now less than 30,000, unlike the support of the Qiang tribe at the beginning, at least more than 100,000 cavalry have been gathered, but Han Sui has soldiers and generals, and he is not afraid of the attack of Zhu Wei's army this time.
It's just that the combat power that Zhu Wei's army is showing now makes Han Sui really feel a little jealous.
Although Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, Li Kan, and Cheng Yin were only small forces that depended on him, and the combat effectiveness of the army directly under him was naturally higher than that of these vassal forces, Han Sui thought that he could not defeat their nearly 10,000 cavalry so easily.
Now Han Sui was a little afraid to face off with Zhu Wei's cavalry troops outside Chang'an City, so he could only find his son-in-law Yan Xing to discuss, and prepare to use the topography of Chang'an City to deploy defenses to eliminate the cavalry threat of Zhu Wei's army......
