Chapter 351: Killing Ten Thousand Prisoners
Sima Yi rushed back to Chang'an overnight, and his mind was full of Tongguan was gone, and the imperial court could no longer send reinforcements to Guanzhong, and judging from the current war situation, without reinforcements, Guanzhong would definitely not be able to keep it. Without Guanzhong, Tongguan was occupied by the enemy again, and it was a problem to go back by yourself.
Therefore, after returning to Chang'an, he immediately began to replenish grain, grass, arrows and siege equipment, everyone only rested for one day, and urgently set off from Chang'an early the next morning, but also to rush time, hoping to recapture Tongguan before the enemy's follow-up army assembled.
Well, the enemy moved so fast, maybe after arriving at Tongguan, he really divided most of his forces to go east to Luoyang, perhaps, the defenders of Tongguan didn't expect that they could come back so quickly.
Led an army of 20,000 and left Chang'an, Sima Yi rushed to Tongguan urgently, but he didn't want to go to the boundary of Xinfeng County, so he was caught up by Ma Chaozhong.
Ma Chao led the original 3,000 cavalry, appeared behind Sima Yi's army, and shouted: "Sima Yi, you are walking too fast, but you are tired of chasing me!" The iron hooves rushed over.
A few days ago, Sima Yi's forward encountered the rapid impact of the horse's ultra-light cavalry near the county, but fortunately, he had been mentally prepared, and the forward general Wei Ping learned the lesson of Xiahouba, and he put stability first, and did not suffer much loss.
It's only been a few days, and that guy actually chased him to Xinfeng County, really like a nasty fly, driving away and coming again, and buzzing and screaming, it's really annoying!
Fortunately, Sima Yi thought that this might happen when he was in Chang'an, and he deliberately added a large number of arrows and crossbows, just to deal with Ma Chao, a fly flying around.
Knowing that Ma Chaozhong's cavalry was attacking the rear army, he immediately transferred a large number of crossbowmen and personally led them to the rear army, firing ten thousand arrows.
Look you're still biting!
Arrows rained down, and Ma Chaozhong couldn't bear it, so he quickly left the enemy formation and retreated.
Hum! Although you have made a sneak attack on me once and entered the pass from me, don't think that I Sima Yi still can't do anything about you Ma Chao!
Ma Chao didn't take advantage of it, retreated a few miles to see Ge Liang, shook his head and said, "That guy, he really has prepared a lot of archers." ”
Ge Liang smiled and asked, "How much is it?" ”
After a few days, he was back on horse.
"At least three thousand!" Ma Chao stretched out three fingers and shook it, then shook his head again and again, "It's a pity that we are all light horses, and after a few battles, the arrows we brought are almost exhausted, and we can't get enough replenishment in the city and Huaili, and now we don't even have a chance to fight back." ”
"Good!" Ge Liang clasped his palms together and struck, "Now concentrate the arrows of the whole army on you, and you immediately bring three thousand cavalry archers and go to meet them!" ”
Although it had been discussed a long time ago, Ma Chao couldn't help but ask: "Why didn't you equip me with everything from the beginning?" ”
"This is to strengthen Sima Yi's countermeasures." Ge Liang explained with a smile, "That Sima Yi has been hit by you several times, and he finally didn't suffer a loss today, so he must have thought of a countermeasure a long time ago." I'll let you lose for a while first, and you will be embarrassed to escape, and let him be proud, and a conditioned reflex will be formed. When you go back later, he will surely gather all the archers. ”
Ma Chao understood, and sneered: "It's still Da Sima who thinks a lot." ”
Sima Yi repelled Ma Chao, relieved the anger he had suffered during this period of time, and hurriedly ordered the army to continue to rush to Tongguan, and at the same time emphasized that all armies should remain vigilant to prevent Ma Chao from suddenly and rapidly attacking again. He believed that since the guy had already arrived here, it was impossible for him to stop sneaking up.
As he expected, Ma Chao really came again.
What he didn't expect was that this came too quickly, and it was clear that it would bite back immediately after exiting.
This damn fly, it's endless, I really don't know whether to live or die?
Sima Yi was so angry that he immediately mobilized all the crossbowmen and vowed to shoot all the horses out of dozens of holes!
After cleaning up these flies, you can go with peace of mind!
He even transferred the only more than 1,000 cavalry in the army to the rear army, equipped with bows and crossbows, and then not only shot Ma Chao with arrows, but also chased and shot!
Don't really think that you are the only ones in the world who have horses, and only you can run fast!
Ma Chao's 3,000 fast horsemen came again, rushed into the enemy formation and killed for a while, and after the enemy crossbowmen gathered, they hurriedly retreated.
Only this time, instead of fleeing away, they wandered outside the enemy line, and began to draw their bows and arrows, and from time to time they shot a few arrows into the enemy line.
Well, I'm reluctant to leave, it's really a thief's heart. Sima Yi was angry, but he was happy to shoot Ma Chao with them, with you light horses, how many arrows can you carry, but I have loaded more than a dozen carts of arrows, see who shoots for a long time, see who shoots densely, see who dies first!
Besides, you should bring some longbows, and I have a strong crossbow for siege, which can shoot much farther than you!
Ma Chaozhong rode and shot for a while, and sure enough, there were fewer and fewer arrows, and he rarely counterattacked.
Sima Yi saw the opportunity and ordered his more than 1,000 riders to immediately draw their bows and arrows, rush out of the formation, and chase the enemy to shoot!
At this moment, the front army was suddenly in chaos, the sergeant flew to report, and countless enemy horsemen suddenly killed in front, and they had rushed into the front army's formation, and the army could not resist it, and it was already about to be defeated!
Yes? And a large number of enemy riders? Isn't it Ma Chao's thousands? Last time in the county, there were only more than 3,000 enemies encountered, so why did countless enemy horses pop up again?
Sima Yi hurriedly rode up a high slope, and when he looked around, he saw countless enemy horsemen rushing into his own formation, showing off their might and shouting to kill the sky. His own sergeants were already in a state of collapse and fled in all directions.
Most of those cavalrymen were not wearing the clothes of Shu Han sergeants, but they were all cloaked and dressed in strange costumes, and at a glance, they knew that they were all Qianghu riders.
Sima Yi only felt that his eyes were black, and he couldn't imagine that the enemy still had so many cavalry, and that Ma Chao was rushing behind him, and he was just luring the enemy's soldiers, deceiving his attention and all his crossbowmen to the rear army, but they took the opportunity to rush and kill the front army!
I, Sima Yi, think I'm smart, but I was tricked by Ma Chao's brainless trick again!
And what makes him even more terrifying is that these are the cavalry of Longyou Zhuqiang, and now here, is it Longyou or Guanzhong!
It's over, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, it's ridiculous that I had to protect Longyou at the beginning, and now I definitely can't even keep it in this level.
It's over, and I have to go to save Tongguan, looking at this frame, I can't go to Tongguan.
Fortunately, Sima Yi was still Sima Yi in the end, so he hurriedly waved the command flag at a high place, commanded the troops to urgently move closer to him, and condescended to defend, so that the crossbowmen could shoot at the enemy cavalry who came to surround him.
Ma Chao and the Hu cavalry rushed to kill for a long time, until Sima Yi's troops were captured, so that he lost half of his troops, and saw that the remaining enemies were defending themselves, and arrows rained down, so they slowly closed the offensive and only stared at it from a distance.
