"Order the generals of all departments to come to the big tent of the Chinese army!" Tai Shi Ci's face showed excitement, since he was not sure whether there were Ma Chao's soldiers and horses on the mountains on both sides, then use fire to conduct a thorough investigation.

After receiving Tai Shici's order, the generals of all departments did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and rushed to the big tent of the Chinese army one after another.

"You are all the most capable generals in the Chang'an army, but now this general has encountered a problem, the terrain of the West Wolf Valley must have been known by some people, how to find out whether there are enemy troops on the mountains on both sides of the West Wolf Valley is the top priority, the army of the Marquis of Jin will arrive in five days, the general does not want the vanguard army to be trapped outside the West Wolf Valley after the arrival of the army led by the Marquis of Jin."

However, all the generals who go to the big tent have a certain status in the vanguard army, and unlike ordinary soldiers, they will consider the problem more comprehensively.

"General, in the opinion of his subordinates, he can send more scouts to the mountains on both sides to inquire about the news." A general said.

Tai Shi Ci shook his head slightly and said, "The West Wolf Valley is extremely difficult to explore, and now General Ben has thought of a good plan. ”

When the generals in the tent heard this, they all straightened their chests excitedly, they were originally the generals in the Bingzhou army, and the desire for merit on the battlefield was naturally not comparable to ordinary generals, they were not afraid of the war, they were afraid that there would be no thing for them after the war started, just like when the Jingzhou army attacked Jiguan, there were still a lot of Bingzhou troops left in Chang'an, and the mood of the generals who were left in the Chang'an army can be imagined.

"Except for the cavalry and the necessary soldiers, the rest of the soldiers will all collect dry firewood, and strive to gather more dry firewood at lunchtime." Tai Shi Ci suddenly ordered.

"Picking up dry firewood?" Some generals did not react from the sudden change, could it be that picking up dry firewood is Tai Shici's so-called good strategy?

"Since the enemy army has taken refuge in the mountains, General Ben is going to roast them out with fire, and now the trees on the mountains are not easy to ignite, and it is different when there is dry wood." Tai Shi Ci said slowly.

The generals of the army were excited when they heard this, and they even imagined what the enemy army on the West Wolf Valley would be like under a fire.

"The soldiers of all departments pick up dry firewood and count it in their military merits." Tai Shi Ci said.

After returning to the ministries from the big tent of the Chinese army, the soldiers of the various departments began to frantically collect dry firewood, which was involved in military merits, and they did not dare to use their lives, otherwise, even the robe Ze would not agree.

After the movement in Tai Shi Ci's army reached Ma Chao's ears, Ma Chao showed a puzzled look, Tai Shi Ci is the vanguard of the army, and the most important thing at present is to talk about the road from Chang'an to Xia Zhi, and see that the current posture is clearly not wanting to enter the West Wolf Valley.

Ma Chao was sure that Tai Shici would not easily give up the road from the West Wolf Valley, otherwise, the army would need to take a detour further.

"General, the enemy army has been picking up dry firewood for half a day, and now they are transporting dry firewood to West Wolf Valley." A general ran over in a hurry.

Ma Chao's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he said coldly: "What a Tai Shi Ci, he actually thought of such an inferior means to send orders to the generals and soldiers of the army to prepare to retreat." ”

"General, why are you leaving?" When the rest of the generals heard this, they looked puzzled.

Ma Chao snorted coldly: "If you don't retreat, just wait for the fire on the West Wolf Valley." ”

Although the West Wolf Valley stretches for nearly five miles, but under a fire, there is no grass on the mountain walls on both sides, and the vanguard army can even feel the scorching heat when walking in the valley, so it is even more impossible for the enemy to hide on both sides of the valley, although the delay of two days outside the West Wolf Valley is worth it.

A day later, Tai Shici led a vanguard army to appear outside Hechi City.

Among the 5,000 members of the vanguard army, at least 3,000 are soldiers who have not long joined the army, and there are naturally many people with outstanding performance.

Although the training time was not long, the morale of the Chang'an army was extremely high, especially the neat pace and camp of the officers and men in the army, which put a lot of pressure on the defenders of Hechi.

Although there are not a few wars experienced in Wudu over the years, there are very few vicious battles after them, and it is reasonable for the defenders to show panic in the face of such a strict military appearance of the Chang'an army.

Ma Chao saw that the enemy army was so arrogant outside the city, and he was furious, and immediately ordered two thousand cavalry out of the city, these two thousand cavalry are also the strength that Ma Chao relies on, and he naturally knows what the face of the army in Wudu is, although there are more than 7,000 people, it is a little difficult to stop the 20,000 Chang'an army.

The city gate was wide open, and Ma Chao led 2,000 cavalry to line up outside the city.

After Tai Shici saw the city gate open, he ordered the soldiers in the army to line up and set up the troops, and he knew very well what kind of ability Ma Chao had.

Ma Chao stepped forward and said: "I am too guarded by Ma Chao, who is the army, why did you innocently invade the city?" ”

Seeing Ma Chao appear, Tai Shici's eyes tightened, I have to say that Ma Chao's appearance is absolutely impeccable, coupled with a white robe, he looks majestic and chic.

Seeing this, Tai Shi Ci stepped forward with a double halberd in his hand, and shouted: "Bold Ma Chao, I am the general Tai Shi Ci under the command of the Marquis of Jin, and you and other rebels occupy the military capital, do you have to resist the general's soldiers and horses?" ”

"What kind of general, this general has heard that Lu Bunai is a traitor of the Han family." Ma Chao said disdainfully.

Tai Shi Ci's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and he said coldly: "I have heard that General Ma is superb in martial arts, I don't know if I can teach you a lesson or two?" ”

Ma Chao was secretly happy in his heart, his plan was to lead the troops out of the city to provoke the enemy's main general, if the two sides killed the vanguard general of the Chang'an Army in the battle outside the city, it would definitely be a huge encouragement for the defenders in the city.

What he didn't expect was that before he mentioned this matter, Tai Shi Ci couldn't hold it back, from Tai Shi Ci's expression, Ma Chao didn't see anger, some were just dissatisfied in tone, and secretly raised his vigilance.

"General Ben has heard that General Taishi is one of the eight generals under Lu Bu, and General Ben has been yearning for the prestige of the eight generals for a long time." Ma Chao said cynically.

"Ma Chao, don't hurry up and die!" The double halberd in Tai Shici's hand waved, and he rode his horse to kill Tai Shici.

In the eyes of outsiders, Tai Shi Ci may be angry and hand Ma Chao, but Ma Chao doesn't think so, after the fight Sanhe, Ma Chao's expression is full of solemnity, he feels the power of Tai Shi Ci's halberd method, and can't help but remind him of Dian Wei who once fought with him.

Dian Wei's double halberd moves pay attention to the big opening and closing, in contrast, Tai Shici's halberd method is slightly weak, but it gives people a sense of subtlety.
