Yanmen Pass, the pass of the Great Wall, is steep and difficult to attack, throughout the ages, it is an important pass for the Central Plains to guard against the southward movement of the grassland nomads.

Now, a pass here has become an important strategic landmark in the confrontation between Wu and Wei.

On the city wall of the pass, a black dragon battle flag of Cao Wei is flying in the wind, hunting sounds, and there is a big horse character written on the other battle flags, which is eye-catching, which announces that this city wall has been occupied by Cao Wei's fierce general Ma Chao.

"What's the news on the defensive deployment of Yin Pavilion City?" In the camp of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Ma Chao, the newly appointed general of the Great Wei Hussars, sat upright in the barracks, looking at the terrain of Yanmen County and asked.

Take Yanmen Pass, and the next one is naturally Yanmen County City, Yinguan City.

As long as they can successfully take Yinguan City, the Wei army will be able to completely drive the Wu army out of the territory of the annexed states and dominate the annexed states.

"General Ma, the news detected by our ghost soldiers, it is the newly formed Seventeenth Army of the Blood Wolf Legion of the Wu Army guarding Yanmen County, and the commander is Zhang Yan, who was born in the Yellow Turban of Montenegro, this person is also a fierce general under the command of Huang Zhong, but the three divisions under the command of the Seventeenth Army have been disabled by us, and he actually only has two divisions in his hands!"

One of the captains of the ghost pawn in the military intelligence stood up and reported to Ma Chao in detail: "And the 52nd Division under the command of the 17th Army is guarding the Yinguan City, and the other division, the 51st Division, is stationed in the clouds and the land of the Nine Plains to defend the northern frontier. ”

"The land of the Nine Plains in the clouds, above the north?"

When Ma Chao heard this, his gaze staring at the terrain of the sand table suddenly became sharp: "That is, I sent troops to attack Yinguan City at this time, and their other division will not be able to return to the rescue in a short time!" ”

"According to the news found out by our ghost soldiers, even if they leave camp and go south now, it will take at least five days to return to Yanmen!"

"Good. Somebody got it! ”

Ma Chao groaned for a while, and waved his hand to the generals: "Li Kan and Zhang Heng stay, you all go down first, although we won a big victory in the battle of Yanmen Pass, but the casualties are not small, you have to go and appease the morale!" ”

"No!"

The generals nodded. The fish rushed out and left the Chinese army camp.

The originally lively camp tent suddenly fell silent, and in the silent tent, Ma Chao's tall figure was still standing next to the sand table, staring at the core city of Yanmen County.

"I want to take the opportunity to take the Yin Pavilion City and expand the results!" After half a ring, Ma Chao said word by word.

"General, we suffered nearly 3,000 casualties in the first battle of Yanmen Pass, and there are not many soldiers who have recovered their combat effectiveness now. The strength of a division of the Wu army is more than 10,000, and there are more than 8,000 at the least, before we were able to raid Yanmen Pass successfully, because of the suddenness of their defense, now Yinguan City already has defenses, if it is a strong attack, it is not easy to fight! ”

When Li Kan, the general of Xiliang, heard this, he hurriedly reminded him.

Since the Wei army in Liangzhou withdrew to Luoyang, the eight generals under Ma Chao's command also had their own allocations. Li Kan and Zhang Heng returned to Ma Chao, which can be regarded as a sweet date for Cao Cao to Ma Chao.

"How much combat strength do we still have?"

With the two great Western Liang warriors, they will be under his command. Ma Chao's life was better, he looked at Zhang Heng and asked.

"We only have 20,000 Xiliang iron cavalry now, and they are all cavalry, if we storm the city, the casualties will inevitably be too great, and we may not be able to take it." Zhang Heng replied.

"The soldiers and horses of the Right Guard haven't gone north yet?"

Ma Chao frowned.

Guarding the annex was Youwuwei, one of the twelve guards of the Wei army. This is the elite of the Wei army, a large corps of 60,000 people.

"They're still in Taiyuan!" Zhang Heng said: "And so far there is no intention of pulling out the camp and going north!" ”

"Cao Hong, what does this mean?"

Ma Chao's eyes suddenly turned cold: "The holy decree let me attack, okay, I attacked, and now I finally won the Yanmen." Just when it was time to pursue the victory, he chose not to move! ”

"General, I'm afraid this is not what Cao Hong meant, and he doesn't have the guts, but someone in the court wants to ......"

Li Kan said pointedly.

"Li Kan, you mean, this is His Majesty's will!"

Ma Chao's face became more and more ugly, he understood what Li Kan pointed out, but he was a little reluctant to believe it: "Your Majesty wants to consume the battle of my Xiliang Iron Cavalry?" This shouldn't be, Xiliang Tieqi is also Cao Wei's soldiers and horses now, he has no reason to consume his elite, unless he still doesn't trust me! ”

"The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is powerful and incomparable, and it is even more like a fish in water in this place in Bingzhou, comparable to the most elite cavalry tiger and leopard cavalry of the Cao Army, but it is not subject to the court's moderation, and only receives your military orders, General, do you think Your Majesty will rest assured?"

Li Kan said faintly.

"Only when the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is disabled, will the general be desperate to fight for Cao Wei!"

Zhang Heng added.

"Click!"

Ma Chao's eyes were full of coldness, his breath was running, and his expression was cold under the burning of anger.

"To this day, it seems that they don't dare to completely trust a certain family after all!" Ma Chao gritted his teeth, and there was a gloomy light in his eyes: "Are they afraid of a certain family, or are they afraid of the power of the Ma family?" ”

"General, Sima Yi and Pang De have taken General Ma Dai!" Li Kan said suddenly.

"This one knows!"

When Ma Chao heard this, his expression suddenly became a little lonely, he sighed, and there was a touch of helplessness in his eyes: "Before Yun Luo sent a letter, saying that she swore that she was unwilling to enter Wei, and even wanted to break off the brother-sister relationship with me, I know that she has taken refuge in Dongwu, and Ma Dai has a certain connection with her, and she intends to raise troops in Wudu, and sooner or later she will be taken down, and now they are still afraid of my Ma Chao's face, but they just imprisoned him and did not kill him!" ”

"But?"

Zhang Heng gritted his teeth, his fists clenched, and he was a little unwilling.

When did they end up with a fate that could only be dominated by them.

"Don't talk about it anymore!"

Ma Chao's eyes were deep, his hands were behind his back, and he said word by word: "From the beginning, we have chosen, there is no second chance, either Cao Wei wins the world, and I will become famous." Either Dongwu will punish my Ma clan nine clans! ”

"General, what should we do now!" Li Kan asked in a low voice, "Are you still fighting Yanmen?" ”

"Hit!"

Ma Chao said categorically: "Back then, Pang De's persuasion was actually just an introduction, surrendering to Cao Wei, this is my Ma Chao's own choice, since I have already chosen, I have to bear it." Your Majesty treats me as a hussar general, I treat him as such, he wants to consume Xiliang Iron Cavalry, I am as he wishes, now we can only believe in him, as long as he has not failed me, I am willing to fight for him with my life! ”

"Since the general has decided to do so, I will immediately go and prepare for the camp!"

Li Kan nodded in agreement.

"Zhang Heng, I always feel that something is wrong in this battle!"

In the tent. Ma Chao and Zhang Heng continued to study the battle situation, and he looked at the terrain of the sand table: "It is undeniable that Your Majesty has the intention of consuming the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but at this time, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Right Weiwei should not be quiet, they must have a plan!" ”

"What the general means is that they have another strategy, and we are just bait!"

Zhang Heng's eyes lit up and said.

"Nine times out of ten!"

Ma Chao nodded: "And I'm afraid that the scale of this battle is much larger than we imagined." Even if it will sweep the whole of northern Xinjiang, we are only part of the strategy. The purpose is to attract the attention of the Blood Wolf Legion. ”

"Use us to storm Yanmen, and then force the Blood Wolf Legion to transfer troops back, so that their goal is Youzhou, and our mission becomes very important!"

"So we have to behave well and want to integrate into the Wei army system. We must have some achievements on the battlefield, at least let the generals of the Wei army recognize us! ”

Ma Chao exuded a strong fighting spirit.

————————————————————

At the same time as the battle of Yanmen in Bingzhou began, located on the outskirts of Zhuoxian County, Zhuo County, in the camp of the Wei Army's Zuo Wuwei, a person who should not have appeared here appeared.

"We're going to meet the general!"

The heavily guarded Chinese army tent in the camp. The generals stood at the foot of the hall and saluted Zhang Liao in the first place.

"The war situation is urgent, no need to be polite!"

Zhang Liao sat down, his expression was solemn, he acted neatly, he put His Majesty's Yitian saber on the table, and directly opened his purpose: "The battle of Youzhou is very important for my Great Wei's words, this is Your Majesty's saber, it has the ability to cut first and then play, and those who do not obey military orders will be killed!" ”

This time, they gathered the four guards and horses, and poured all the troops of Jizhou to fight this battle, and they could only win, not lose.

"No!"

The generals felt a chill in their hearts and looked solemn.

"Forbidden!" Zhang Liao looked at Zuo Wuwei's general Yu Ban.

"In!"

Yu Ban stood up, arched his hands, and stood by to listen.

"This battle lies in a speed, you don't need to care about the Daijun side, within three days, you lead 10,000 soldiers, you must break through the Liangxiang Pass, go north to Tianhe County, I want to be in Jicheng within ten days!"

Zhang Liao said.

"No!" Yu Ban nodded in agreement.

"Lejin!"

"In!"

"Do you have the confidence to lure the Montenegrin Army out?" Zhang Liao asked.

"Please general direction, as long as Youzhou starts, the Montenegrin army will definitely come out!" Lejin said confidently.

"Cripple them, don't let them go back!" Zhang Liao's eyes were murderous and awe-inspiring: "This group of soldiers and horses has been nesting in Jizhou, and it is difficult for me to sleep and eat!" ”

"Yes!" Lejin nodded.

"Xiahou Yuan!" Zhang Liao looked at Xiahou Yuan and said, "How long will it take for the soldiers and horses of the Right Wuwei to go north to Youzhou!" ”

"Ten days!"

"Okay, I'll give you ten days, within ten days, you can't see the right guard, don't say that military law is ruthless!" Zhang Liao said.

"Yes!"

Xiahou Yuan didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Zhang Liao.

"General, Pang Tong seems to have smelled something, he just got a piece of news, the 56th Division of the 18th Army of the Blood Wolf Legion has gone south to Liangxiang Pass!" Tian Feng walked in and said in a low voice.

"Such a keen sense of touch, it seems that we have to be fast!"

Zhang Liao said: "Yu Ban, you immediately pull out the camp and go up, don't scruple to reveal your whereabouts, as soon as the battle starts, nothing matters, what matters is speed, within the fastest speed, take the pass of Liangxiang, and can't let Dongwu block our intention to go north!" ”

"Yes!"

Yu Ban nodded.
