Chapter 284 Stay one step ahead

Ma Chaojun captured the order, quickly occupied the city gate, controlled the granary and equipment warehouse in the city, and cleared the recalcitrant forces in the city. Vertex updates are the fastest

The defenders in the city didn't expect that when Cao Xiu's army was in front of the conquest, Ma Chao would suddenly run up from Qishan again, and he was already frightened, and almost all of them were captured.

The Shu army immediately closed the gates of various cities, assigned personnel to guard them, and posted the notices prepared in advance to tell everyone not to panic, promised to pay for the wheat that had been cut before, and immediately paid several families on the spot.

Ma Chao ordered the county order and the captives to be imprisoned, and then asked everyone to seize the time to take turns to rest, sleep when they should sleep, eat what they should eat, and feed the horses when they should feed the horses.

He himself stood on the tower, watching closely the way he came.

The candidate asked me to bring a chair and let him sit down: "General, take a rest, the enemy should not be so soon." ”

Ma Chao shook his head and said: "Da Sima said that when the enemy finds out that we are taking risks, he will definitely think that we may sneak attack Shangcheng or Jicheng, and he will definitely send cavalry to rush over to warn first." Vertex updates the fastest"

Hou Xuan said with a smile: "General, Da Sima also said that the enemy has just lost the battle, and when he finds out that we have ventured and rushed over, and then sends cavalry to chase after him, it will definitely take a while, and there is still our brigade behind them, and their cavalry will definitely have to make a detour if they want to grab it, so that they will definitely not be able to catch up with us in a few hours." ”

"However, it took us two hours to occupy the county seat." Ma Chao is much more cautious now.

Hou Xuan was relieved: "No, there was no delay when I entered the city, and until now, it has only been more than an hour to disarm those officials and enemy troops and put them in prison." ”

Thinking of entering the city so easily, Ma Chao's tired face was also full of smiles: "I'll settle accounts with those guys in a few days." ”

Hou Xuan continued: "General, let's take a rest, anyway, we have sent a dozen more people to run back, and once they find that the enemy cavalry is coming, they will also come back first to report the news." The apex update is the fastest, even if it's too late, and we're here to watch, now the city gates are closed, even if the enemy suddenly appears under the city, they are just here to report, to help defend the city, they are all light cavalry, they can't even bring a ladder, is it possible to fly up the city wall? ”

That's right, Ma Chao also felt that it was time to take a break, and when the enemy cavalry came, he would have the spirit to rush and kill, so he asked again: "Have all our soldiers been arranged?" ”

Hou Xuan replied: "It's all arranged, 400 people guard the city gate, 400 people rest, and 200 people watch the prisoners." ”

"Then, remember to let them all take turns to rest, and they can't sleep too hard every half an hour, so that when the enemy comes, they will still be confused." After Ma Chao finished speaking, he closed his eyes slightly, and sat on the city tower and closed his eyes. Vertex updates are the fastest

When Ma Chao led his army to take advantage of the enemy's defeat and retreat to hold on, and crossed them and headed straight to the north, Cao Xiu also sent a deputy general to lead more than 10,000 troops, which followed.

At first, the Wei army sent a few people to report the news quickly, asking the cavalry to harass the advancing Shu army, slow down their upward advance, and wait for the rear army to follow.

However, after harassing them several times, they all found that Ma Chao did not appear, and the enemy cavalry was very few, so they suddenly felt that something was wrong, and quickly let the cavalry leave their own infantry team and rush upward.

Could it be that Ma Chao led so many or three thousand cavalry, and he didn't need to carry siege equipment, so he wanted to attack directly?

It may seem unlikely, but what if?

This time, the behavior of these enemies is completely different from the past, and who knows what kind of fame will be made at that time, which we did not expect?

I hope that the defenders in the city will hold on, and Ma Chao will not be able to attack the city, so I can rush to this time, just in time to cooperate with the outside of the city and defeat Ma Chao's men!

Ma Chao slept for two hours in the city unconsciously, and muttered to himself in his sleep: "I only hate too few cavalry." Vertex updates the fastest"

Hou Xuan had been watching outside the city from the side, and when he heard Ma Chao speak, he didn't hear it clearly, so he hurriedly asked, "General, what did you just say?" ”

Ma Chao woke up and bounced up suddenly: "The enemy is coming?" ”

"Here we are, we've got caught." The candidate hurriedly replied.

"Caught? All caught? "That's too easy, isn't it? Ma Chao didn't react for a while.

Hou Xuan said: "The three people sent by the enemy who ran up to report the news were intercepted by the sentry we sent on the road and have been sent into the city. ”

Oh, it turned out to be the messenger who captured the enemy, Ma Chao smiled and said, "I thought that the enemy's cavalry was captured by you." ”

Hou Xuan laughed: "I guess they will only send one or two thousand horsemen to get up, maybe they can really catch them all." ”

"I want to!" Ma Chao smiled, "If we can catch them all, we can have a few more horses, if we can have a few more cavalry, I can ask you to guard it now, and I will rush directly to Linwei, maybe we can easily take it down." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry." Hou Xuan comforted, "If you really occupy Linwei, Cao Xiu's tens of thousands of people still can't go crazy desperately?" The enemy army in Guanzhong will also enter Longyou in a big way, and it will be difficult for us to resist this point. ”

At this time, a horse in the distance rushed quickly, until the city was down, and saw that the city gate was closed, and the city still seemed to be the flag of Wei, so he breathed a sigh of relief and shouted at the city: "Hey! Open the city gate, I am a subordinate of the leading general, and I have been ordered to come to inform you that there is a possible enemy to sneak attack, have you already believed it? ”

Oh, there are still enemy horsemen passing through our outpost? Ma Chao hurriedly flashed back, for fear that people would recognize him.

Hou Xuan hurriedly answered: "Yes, we have received news that the three messengers from before are now resting in the city. I will open the gates of the city, and you will come in and rest. ”

"No, since Shang's safety is fine, I won't come in, I have to go back and report quickly, so that the general can be relieved." Someone turned around and wanted to leave.

Hou Xuan hurriedly shouted: "Then it's hard for you, there are few soldiers in the city, please hurry up and report to the general, hurry up and come over for reinforcements!" ”

"Hurry up, I can't wait!" Ma Chao also whispered to himself.

"Got it!" When someone comes, they will fight and leave.

"Hurry up, come quickly, it's better to be like us when you come, and everyone is out of breath." The candidate also smiled from ear to ear.

Ma Chao was reminded, and hurriedly said: "Then you, hurry up and take a nap, and then defend the city well, and I will lead the troops to rush out to kill while they are tired!" ”

"We're resting here, just waiting for them to come, and we'll be crushed with one blow!" The candidate was so happy that he didn't want to sleep.

Ma Chao asked again: "By the way, didn't you say that you have arrested three people who came to report the news?" Where has the enemy reached now? (To be continued.) )
