However, all this was based on Yizhou's lack of news about the Central Plains, otherwise they knew that King Li suddenly appeared in Bingzhou, and they probably wouldn't think that Yang Zaixing would rebel against him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But this is also inevitable, not to mention that Yizhou has been around for a long time, not to mention that although King Li did not deliberately hide it, no one who has found his traces will pass it out, which has become the biggest failure in Zhang Song's strategy.

……

At the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, the population here is not concentrated and widely distributed, but after all, it is a mountainous area with lack of transportation, and few people will choose to wear out of the mountains and go to Chengdu to work.

The afterglow of the New Year had not yet passed, and at this time a pair of weathered cavalry was stationed here.

A man with a beard and a finger led hundreds of people down the mountain, some carrying chickens, some catching rabbits, and the most terrifying thing was that the general who couldn't tell his age was actually carrying a tiger.

These are all wild games they have hunted, and they have been accustomed to eating these living creatures in the mountains lately, and they are all hungry for this.

The man who hit the head shouted, and suddenly many people came out of the mountains and forests, and at a cursory glance, there were thousands of them.

Matthew hurried a few steps and ran up and said, "Big brother, have inquired clearly......

Ma Chao waved his hand and said, "What's the panic." This matter is not urgent, the military advisor has spoken first, and if there is no news from Pound, he must not act rashly. ”

Ma Xiu was still a little anxious, and said: "What nonsense is the eldest brother, His Royal Highness also said before that Faqiang and Tang Yakqiang must be wiped out, and they cannot be allowed to develop on the plateau. ”

Ma Chao glared at him and said, "Yizhou is the top priority, Fa Qiang and Tang Yakqiang retreat to the plateau, what kind of chaos can it cause?" There are 50 kinds of Xiqiang, if I ask from time to time, I may make some trouble. ”

Ma Xiu was stunned, if it weren't for King Li's reminder, he wouldn't have come against Ma Chao, but they quietly entered Qingcheng Mountain, not only to choke the back road of Chengdu, but also to monitor the movements of the Qiang people.

Ma Chao said while removing the hair of the tiger: "Don't worry about this matter, what happened to Pang De, you are talking." ”

Ma Xiu sighed and said: "Pang Deming went out to Chengdu, but at this time should also return to Guanghan, this mountain road is not suitable for cavalry to kill at all, our war horses can only go down the mountain sideways, a little careless will fall down, many brothers have died, this is only the problem caused by the terrain, but also the inconvenience caused by the climate, environment, etc." ”

The horse's knees are on its hind legs, and the front foot is bent on the toe joints, so the horse is very prone to wrestling when going downhill.

Ma Chao nodded, and said indifferently: "No matter how big or small, there will be no immortals in the big war, so I think Pang De's move is not a big deal, temporarily keep the vitality of our army, and wait for the movement of General Yang's army." ”

Matthew was about to say something, when a soldier ran over and fell to his knees.

said: "General Bao, fifty miles to the south, I found a group of 10,000 soldiers and horses, marching along the river towards Chengdu. ”

Ma Chao's face was overjoyed, he threw away the shaving knife in his hand, and drank: "Ma Xiu, you lead a group of people to guard here, don't let people approach, and the rest will come with me." ”

As the words were conveyed, the sound of Suo Suo suddenly sounded in the forest, and it turned out that the soldiers and generals were going to look for war horses.

Ma Xiu grabbed Ma Chao and said: "Big brother, don't be reckless, the other party has 10,000 horses, if it is on flat ground, it is fine, but this horse walks over the mountain road is so rugged, I am afraid that it will be defeated by the enemy." ”

Ma Chao waved his hand and said: "Don't say more, I know what to do, it's okay to say that I didn't meet, but now it's an encounter, if you don't stop it, I'm afraid Pang De's movements will be discovered, get out of the way." ”

Ma Xiu smiled bitterly, knowing that he couldn't persuade him, so he had to go down and order people, leaving only three hundred people stationed, in his words, Ma Chao brought more people and horses, and the more insurance he had.

But he doesn't know Ma Chao, Ma Chao at this time is no longer the reckless man he was three years ago, at this time he is not only brave, but also not weak.

Ma Chao came to a hidden place to wait, and said: "You lead eight hundred brothers down, there should be towns and other settlements in front, and when the enemy army enters the line of sight, go in and loot, remember not to harm people's lives, and when the time comes, make the movement bigger, and we will follow and flank the enemy army." ”

The soldier clenched his fists and left, quietly gathered 800 cavalry and left, and went to deploy early.

Speaking of which, most of the soldiers in Yizhou are handsome, but they are also proud, but they are in different camps and can also compete.

It didn't take long for a group of soldiers and horses to be arranged according to the long snake formation in the ancient art of war, and the distance between each person was quite large, just so that the mobility would increase when rushing.

But there are pros and cons, the long snake formation is suitable for a rapid march in the relatively safe rear, and it is not suitable for being exposed in front of people, after all, the long snake formation has no defense at all, let alone cavalry, even if it is an infantry of thousands of people, in the same quality of the attack, it can also defeat this 10,000 horses.

Ma Chao laughed, it seems that the previous deployment was a bit redundant, but the plan was set, and it couldn't be changed halfway, so as not to startle the snake.

The fast horses of dozens of people along the way are hidden, and they are relatively close, and they will return to report the situation every time they don't have a long time, and the horses are ten miles behind and follow, which is the limit of the safe distance, and I am afraid that they will be discovered if they are closer.

The general safety distance is almost twenty miles, but Ma Chao is approaching within ten miles, which is enough to show that the long snake formation is like a headless fly, only caring about running, ignoring the danger of looking around.

Wu Yi, this person is the leader of this support army, he was originally stationed in Jialing, but Liu Zhang sent orders to all over the country, and sent people back to Chengdu to buy time for Yang Zaixing's arrival, originally he only had 5,000 men and horses, and then he would go to Chengdu together with Wuyang's 5,000 garrisons, because of the joint army, it took a lot of time, and it was not until today that he passed through Qingcheng Mountain.

Time was slowly passing, Wu Yi's reinforcements were full of smoke and dust, and the people of Siye avoided one after another, not daring to approach.

It turned out that they were supposed to garrison in Qingcheng Mountain, forming the left wing of Chengdu, and they could support each other as quickly as possible, and they could avoid the Qiang raids on the surrounding towns and counties.

However, just as Wu Yi ordered the army to stop slowly, an explosion suddenly sounded in a populated place in the west.

Startled, Wu Yi's heart was climbed with a bad premonition, and shouted: "The whole army is surrounded and defended, and a group of men and horses will go to investigate what happened." ”

But before the words fell, the eight hundred pioneers who had been prepared for a long time suddenly rushed out, and the momentum of slaughter could be felt in the distance.

didn't have time to think about it, Wu Yi roared angrily: "The whole army is facing the battle, the enemy is not many in number, it should be the vanguard of the Qiang people, and I ordered one person to ask for help from Chengdu." ”

The reason why they are Qiang people is nothing more than that their clothes and war horses are no different from the Qiang people in their impressions. (To be continued.) )
