Chapter 193: Undercurrents are surging
The two armies fought for a long time, and the end was turned upside down, and the blood flowed like a river.
Although Ma Teng's army had an advantage at the beginning, it was eventually less numerous than Han Sui's army. Although Han Sui's army was attacked by a half-crossing, half of them finally crossed the river early, and after a battle, the advantages and disadvantages were leveled, and the battle situation gradually became anxious.
And as more and more Qiang people crossed the river bridge, Ma Teng gradually felt powerless!
Gritting his teeth, he glanced fiercely at Han Sui, who was hiding in the crowd of ten thousand troops, Ma Teng was about to order a retreat, but he was suddenly overjoyed.
It turned out that from behind Han Suijun, that is, in the direction of Guiyi City, there was a shout of Ma Dai's killing!
"Haha, sons, reinforcements have arrived, and with this general, we will defeat Han Sui!" Ma Teng roared, and the morale of the army behind him suddenly boosted!
"Kill!"
When Han Sui heard the shouts of killing, he was also a little flustered, and immediately ordered someone to investigate the situation, while directing the army to entangle Yu Ma Teng.
A moment later, the sergeant reported: "About 10,000 infantry are coming from behind!" ”
"Infantry!?"
Han Sui's face changed!
If it was just facing the infantry, Han Sui was naturally not worried at all.
Because his men were all cavalry.
However, there are nearly 10,000 cavalry under Ma Teng's command!
Riding together, the power is huge!
At the beginning, the champion Hou Huo went to illness, that is, he used the method of foot riding to break the Hun iron horse!
As long as the tired Qiang cavalry under his command is dragged by the vigorous infantry, Ma Teng can free his hands, take the initiative, and play as he wants, everything must be in Ma Teng's hands!
"What to do!?"
Han Sui was anxious.
The perfect way to win is to defeat the Ma Teng cavalry before engaging the infantry, but that seems unlikely!
"Retreat!"
Han Sui's mind changed sharply, and he immediately gave a decisive order: "Order the whole army, quickly get rid of the entanglement of the Ma Teng army, and retreat to the south immediately!" ”
As soon as Ma Teng saw the movement of the military formation, he roughly understood Han Sui's intentions.
Immediately a little anxious.
If you don't kill him here, and wait for him to escape, you'll be in trouble!
"Entangle the Qiang! Don't let them run! ”
Ma Teng roared incessantly.
"Hurry, hurry! Quick retreat! Han Sui took the lead and ran to the front, looking back and shouting.
When Ma Dai's infantry corps arrived, most of Han Sui's army had broken away from Ma Teng's entanglement, and more than 10,000 people quickly withdrew south.
Ma Teng joined Ma Dai, combined with foot and horse, and soon strangled the surrounded Han Sui army.
"Uncle, what should we do next?"
Ma Dai wiped the blood from his face and shouted.
"Naturally, it's a pursuit!" Ma Teng resolutely said: "If you don't destroy Han Sui as soon as possible, Xiliang will really be in chaos!" ”
"Han Sui is now fleeing south, to the south? To the south! Ma Dai's face was anxious, and he shouted: "It's not good, uncle, Jianwei City!" ”
Ma Teng's face changed, and he sighed dejectedly: "Providence, providence!" ”
Ma Dai forcibly took over Jianwei City at first, but because he was worried about Ma Teng, he couldn't bear to lead the army to attack, preparing to join forces with Ma Teng to defeat Han Sui.
When the scout explained the specific situation of Ma Teng and Han Sui entangled in the battlefield, Ma Dai had an idea as soon as his mind changed.
So he led the infantry to go around, first blocking the army sent by Han Sui to take over Guiyi City, and then rushed from Han Sui's rear, but it was the idea of fighting from both sides and killing them all.
Unexpectedly, Ma Teng couldn't be entangled and let Han Sui run away.
As a result, Jianwei City, which was unguarded in the south, was given to Han Sui in vain.
In other words, this engagement, in addition to killing half of Han Sui's army, in general, was a failure!
"Let's go, return to the army and return to the righteous city!"
Ma Teng looked at the south with hatred, and then looked back at the exhausted soldiers who were fished out of blood, and felt quite helpless, so he had to lead the army back to rest.
Han Sui led the army to retreat southward, running wildly for several miles, but vaguely saw a fortress ahead. With a turn of thought, I suddenly remembered that it was Jianwei City.
Because he didn't find Ma Teng pursuing, Han Sui ordered the army to rest for a while by leaning on a low tree, while letting the scouts go to Jianwei City to investigate.
According to his thoughts, Ma Teng blocked him this time, and he definitely didn't bring too many troops in a hurry, and there were only 20,000 or 30,000 in the sky.
Except for the more than 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 foot soldiers on the Heqiao battlefield just now, there must not be many people guarding this Jianwei City. If it is won, this battle will not be a complete defeat!
Taking Jianwei City not only washed away the defeat of this battle, but also had a more far-reaching significance in that it could echo Yan Xing from afar, so that Ma Teng could not spare all his strength to deal with him and buy time for himself!
Han Sui made up his mind and felt that even if there was a large army in Jianwei City, he would try to attack the city!
After a while, the scout reported that Jianwei City was very quiet, and it seemed that there was no army to guard it!
Han Sui was puzzled, but because he had made up his mind to take Jianwei, he didn't hesitate, and immediately ordered the army to go to Jianwei City!
As a result, when he entered the city gate, he found that there was no one in the city, Han Sui laughed, only saying that Ma Teng was the idea of annihilating him, and he didn't even send troops to defend Jianwei City.
So he immediately occupied Jianwei and ordered the army to patrol and guard the town, burying the pot and cooking without mentioning it.
Not to mention that Ma Teng and Han Sui each have a city, and the two armies face each other. It is said that Ma Chao traveled day and night, and soon arrived near Sanguan.
After hiding the traces of the army, Ma Chao took dozens of guards and came to the pass.
Because Han Sui was killed at the beginning, no one escaped. Ma Chao naturally thought that Yan Xing didn't know about Ma Teng and Han Sui's face-to-face, so Ma Chao made a decapitation plan to open the city gate and kill Yan Xing!
Ma Chao and dozens of other horses walked to the foot of Sanguan City.
"Who is coming, this is a military land, and the idle people will retreat quickly!"
On the city wall, dense arrows were aimed at Ma Chao and others.
"I am Ma Chao, the son of Liangzhou Mu Ma Teng, I have something important to see your main general, General Yan Xing, open the city gate quickly!"
Ma Chaoqing shouted, and there was a sudden twitch on the city wall, and the arrows that flickered in the cold light were immediately put away.
"Major General Ma waits, wait for the villain to go and say goodbye."
"Go, go, go!"
Ma Chao waved his hand indifferently.
In a moment, Yan Xing appeared at the head of the city in military uniform.
"Haha, it turned out to be Brother Ma!" Yan Xing smiled and said, "Hahaha, open the door quickly, Brother Ma and I haven't seen each other for a long time, just drink and reminisce about the old love!" ”
With that, Yan Xing asked the sergeant to lower the drawbridge and open the city gate.
Ma Chao's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was about to pull out the horse and leave, but was stopped by the guards.
"General, wait!"
The guard said softly: "Yan Xing has always been at odds with the general, this time instead of sneering, he greeted him with a smile, there must be fraud in it!" ”
Ma Chao was stunned, his face changed in an instant, and he hesitated in his heart.
"General, retreat for the time being, don't take any chances!"
The guard said again.
When Ma Chao heard this, his heart was certain, and the secret way was right, so he immediately raised his head and said to Yan Xing: "General Yan, Ma still has some important things to deal with today, and he will come to visit him tomorrow!" ”
After speaking, he turned the horse's head violently, turned around and left.
Ma Chao's actions made Yan Xing stunned, and his face instantly turned cold.
"Ma Mengqi, you are a hero, you don't have the courage to enter my city, you are cowardly, and you have lost the face of your Ma family in vain!"
If it was usual, Yan Xing's words would definitely make Ma Chao furious, and then rushed into the city desperately. However, at this time, Ma Chao decided that Yan Xing was cheating, and after hearing his words, he knew even more in his heart. Immediately turned around and sneered, and said, "Presumably you Yan Xing already know about Han Sui's family being killed by me, right?" Hehe, if you want to trick Ma into entering the city, you are still a little tender! ”
Ma Chao laughed after speaking, and beat the horse away.
Yan Xing's face suddenly darkened!
"Ma Chao, I must kill you!"
"Then you're coming!"
Ma Chao's voice came from afar, and the angry Yan Xing drew his knife and slashed indiscriminately.
However, the matter has come to this point, and Yan Xing is helpless. knew that Ma Chao could not be taken with this plan, and it was worth returning and doing something else.
Ma Chao returned to the barracks hidden in the forest, and couldn't help sighing: "I don't want Yan Xing to get the news, this surprise attack plan will not work!" ”
Let's say it, Ma Chao immediately ordered the army to pull out, stationed under the Sanguan, and directly threatened Yan Xing in the city, no longer hiding.
Not to mention the confrontation between Ma Chao and Yan Xing.
Saying that Yuan Shao hadn't received any news from Xu Yu in the past ten days, he couldn't help but become impatient.
Immediately ordered to investigate Liangzhou without mentioning.
A day later, news came from Xizuo, and it turned against Liangzhou Ma Teng and Han Sui, and there were several battles, and now they are facing each other!
Yuan Shao was shocked in his heart, and immediately understood that Xu You's trip might have failed.
And Xu Yu was afraid that something bad would happen, and he couldn't help crying secretly.
Xu You is his most relied on strategist, and now he may die, which makes Yuan Shao a little at a loss.
But Yuan Shao was not a stupid person, so he was uneasy in his heart, and immediately sent someone to pay strict attention to the dynamics in Liangzhou without mentioning it.
Yuan Shao, who was far away in Luoyang, learned about the situation in Liangzhou, and Li Dao Guo Yan in Yongzhou naturally also knew.
These two people are Dong Zhuo's old department, and they are also from Liangzhou, and they don't want to recapture Liangzhou and return to the old land all the time. Now that there is civil strife in Liangzhou, the two are overjoyed, and they immediately get together and plan.
"There is news from Xizuo that Ma Teng and Han Sui are facing off in Jincheng; Ma Chao and Yan Xing confronted each other in Sanguan. Now Qi County and Longguan are guarded by Ma Tie and Ma Xiu. These two people are not only inferior to Ma Chao Ma Dai, but for us, it is a godsend! ”
Li Dao was full of smiles and seemed very comforted.
"Not bad!"
Guo Yan was also laughing: "If you go all out to attack Longguan and Qi County, you will return to your hometown as soon as possible!" ”
Li Wei nodded, and said, "This is natural. But I think there's a better way! ”
"Oh? Let's talk about it. Guo Yan's eyes lit up and he said busily. Li Wei has always had a brighter brain than him, so Guo Yan is looking forward to it.
"Let's start with Sanguan!" Li Dao's eyes narrowed, and he said, "Sanguan Yan Xing is now rejecting the enemy on both sides. In the north, I have the West Liang Iron Ride, and in the south, there is Ma Chao. Thinking about it, it must be a worrying situation, and my heart is depressed. Why don't we send someone to contact him and ask him to let us enter the customs and deal with Ma Chao together! ”
Guo Yan was puzzled: "Will he agree?" ”
"Yes!" Li Dao said categorically: "I took Yongzhou as bait, and only said that he let me wait for me to enter Liangzhou, and the land of Yongzhou will be given to him!" ”
"Haha," Guo Yan pondered for a long time and laughed, "But that's the case!" Yongzhou has already been looted by the two of us, and it doesn't hurt to give it to him. On the contrary, Liangzhou is more important to us! ”
"If so, then it's decided?"
"That's it!"
