Chapter 349: Tongguan and Wuguan
Ge Liang was shocked to see it, at first he saw that the cavalry had scattered Fei Yao and Xiahou Ba's department, and he was still very happy, and when he saw them and Cao Zhen's elite strangled together, he felt that it was not cost-effective, and he wanted to Mingjin to withdraw his troops.
Why bother, why bother? There are tens of thousands of enemies here, and you can't scare them to death once, so you can wait for the next time to annihilate them, and you can leave some of them for our rear army to defeat! Why should you go to the death of them when they are to death, and try to swallow them all at once? That's a big loss.
Now that the two armies are strangled together, they dare not give the order to retreat, in this form, whoever shouts to retreat first will be dispersed, but Ge Liang is in a hurry.
Fortunately, the sun was about to go down soon, the sky was getting dark, and the fighting spirit of both sides also fell.
Ge Liang secretly shouted that he was glad that it was dark this day, and the advantages of the cavalry were all lost.
The crowd was happy to kill, and reluctantly gathered around Ge Liang and Ma Chao, still loudly discussing how to kill the enemy.
Ge Liang roughly estimated the battle situation, of course, the enemy's losses were much greater than his own, but his own family had also lost more than 1,000 horses for a while, and it was a little heartbreaking to think about it.
Forget it, don't care about these for now, Ge Liang immediately ordered everyone to rest for a while, and rushed to Tongguan overnight.
Ma Chao was stunned: "Da Sima, are you rushing to Tongguan again?" Wouldn't there be more than 10,000 people there? It doesn't take so many people to defend Tongguan, right? Only a part of the enemy here has been destroyed. ”
It seems that he is tired from dangling.
Ge Liang hurriedly explained: "Aren't you Sima Yi's department already in the past? I guess he will soon want to regain Tongguan, and we will pursue him at this time, and maybe we can catch him off guard. As for the enemies here, keep them for Xu Shu and Wang Ping to clean up. ”
Ma Chao was a little reluctant, so far, this is the first battle he really fought when he entered Guanzhong, it seems that there are still a lot of gains, but he is not enough.
"Then what if Cao Zhen doesn't leave and still blocks the exit, and our rear army can't come out?" He thought of this good reason to stay.
Alas, Ge Liang sighed, Ma Chao was Ma Chao in the end, and he didn't think far enough, so he had to persuade again: "This Cao Zhen's department has been hit by such a big blow here, where can he still have the heart to lock the narrow exit?" If he thinks about it carefully, he will understand that now our people want to enter the Guanzhong, from Chencang, from the Meridian Valley, they can enter if they want to, what is the use of him locking this place? Besides, he also saw it just now, we have a team of tens of thousands of horsemen in front of him, and on the south bank of Chencang, General Huang Quan's army has not come to lock him up, does he still want to stay at this exit? He really doesn't want Chang'an, doesn't he want Luoyang? ”
Ma Chao felt that Ge Liang was right, and he had nothing to refute, but he was still unwilling, his tens of thousands of cavalry, just running around, what was it?
Ge Liang already knew his thoughts, and asked, "How much does the general think we have won in this battle just now?" ”
When Ma Chao's heart came, he immediately overjoyed: "It is estimated that there are five or six thousand beheadings, and nearly ten thousand are defeated!" Then his face darkened again, "As soon as we leave, won't those who have been defeated be collected by Cao Zhen soon?" ”
"Don't worry about this!" Ge Liang immediately answered, "This is already Guanzhong. Cao Zhen's army, many of which are from Guanzhong, seeing that the general trend has gone, retreating all the way, there will definitely be many people who take the opportunity to flee home. These are all the credit of the hussar generals, right? ”
"Oh?" Ma Chao's brows furrowed again.
Ge Liang said again: "We are rushing to Tongguan now, maybe we can attack Sima Yi's back again, and then there will be another big battle, and the gains will definitely not be less than today." I think that in this battle in Guanzhong, in terms of victory, no one will be more than the hussar general. ”
Being worn by Ge Liang is that he wants to get more credit, and even if it doesn't sound good, he just wants to fight bravely, Ma Chao was embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Then let's leave now." Ge Gong, why don't I go to the city again and bring together the five hundred horsemen from my brother Ma Dai? ”
Ge Liang hurriedly said: "Forget it, don't call him." I asked General Wu Yi to ambush Cao Zhen's troops in front, and then give them another blow, and then let General Wu Yi and General Ling Di Ma Dai rendezvous, not go to Tongguan, let them go to Wuguan together. What do you think? ”
"Go to Wuguan?" Ma Chao has been away from Guanzhong for several years, and when he suddenly heard "Wuguan", he had an inexplicable feeling, this is really a place name that he hasn't remembered for many years.
In fact, up to now, Ge Liang has also been with Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei must have gotten along with Wei Yan, and maybe no one else has thought of Wuguan.
But now that so many days have passed, it is estimated that the enemy should also get the news.
"That's right, it's Wuguan." Ge Liang reminded Ma Chao, "Wuguan leads directly to the Nanyang Basin, and I don't know over there, His Majesty the Han Emperor and the generals and chariot generals are fighting against the southern front of the Wei army, what is happening now?" ”
In the end, he is still a person who grew up in Guanzhong, Ma Chao immediately understood, yes, Wei Yan robbed Tongguan, and when he heard the threat to approach Tongguan, he was not afraid of blowing through the sky, and Wuguan was also the passage for the Central Plains to enter Guanzhong, which was connected to Wancheng, if Liu Bei and they were fighting the enemy in the Wancheng area at this time, then Ma Dai and they would not be ......
"It's all up to the assignment of Da Sima!" Ma Chao hurriedly replied.
Ge Liang also reassured him: "General Zhang Wei has already led more than 2,000 Wudang Fei troops, and the troops have left the Meridian Valley and gone straight to Wuguan. It is estimated that it is the same as Tongguan, which is the hinterland of the Wei army, and it should be negligent in defense, and at this time, General Zhang Wei is almost about to take Wuguan. Ma Dai and General Wu Yi went over to help them reach the Nanyang Basin, where they had enough troops to make a difference. ”
Ma Chao was very relieved, he saw with his own eyes that Wei Yan's Wudang Flying Army captured Tongguan easily, that was also the mountain soldiers who led the Wudang Flying Army, and it was the mountain soldiers who were personally guided and trained by Da Sima, and there were more than 2,000 people, so it was naturally not a problem to take Wuguan.
Wei Yan, Wei Yan, you robbed me of the credit for Tongguan, but fortunately, Da Sima still remembered the credit for the direction of Wuguan and gave some to my family Ma Dai.
Ge Liang waved at everyone: "Then let's go now!" ”
"Da Sima, do you want to leave a messenger and report the situation here to General Huang Quan and General Xu Shu?" Ma Chao suddenly burst out.
Ge Liang sighed, yo, Ma Chao even took the initiative to care about the whole overall situation?
But don't worry, those two people don't need me to explain.
Well, of course, someone has to report it.
"Thank you, General Hussar, for reminding me, I forgot." Ge Liang slapped his head and simply sold Ma Chao another face. (To be continued.) )
