Chapter 322 Shoushang County Ma Dai asked for help, set up an ambush and was executed

The above book mentions that Sima Yi proposed to Lü Bu, first taking Shangjun, and then seeking Hexi. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Bu was very pleased when he heard this, so he asked Yan Liang to lead 50,000 elite soldiers to attack Shangjun. He also ordered Wen Chou to lead 50,000 elite soldiers to set up an ambush on the main road between Hexi and Shangjun, preparing to ambush the reinforcements sent by Hexi to Shangjun.

Yan Liang then ordered 50,000 elite soldiers, led more than a dozen generals who could fight, and rushed to Shangjun.

The general of Shangjun guarding the city was guarded by Ma Chao's cousin Ma Dai. An eagle had already gotten the news and came to report to Ma Dai. When Ma Dai heard the news, he personally wrote a handwritten letter and sent it to Hexi County to report to the Metropolitan Governor Xue Ji.

Xue Ji saw that the enemy army had only fought with Ma Chao, and then did not send troops to fight, so he wondered in his heart, so he looked at the city. However, the enemy camps were far away and could not be found. The old general then sent the eagle to explore the horse and sneak around the Qi State camp.

Sure enough, Ying Yang came to report, and Yan Liang led an army of 50,000 from behind the village and went straight to Shangjun. Then there was an eagle letter to report that Wen Chou led an army of fifty or sixty thousand after Yan Liang's army left, and also went in the direction of Shangjun.

Xue Ji hurriedly convened the generals to discuss countermeasures.

All the generals arrived, and it happened that Ma Daixin reported. Xue Ji made the soldiers recite: "Present to the Governor of the Metropolis, Jindai has a letter: 'Lü Bu sent Yan Liang to lead an army of 50,000 to attack Shangjun. The last general thought that if a certain army of less than 30,000 troops defended the city, although there was no difference, it would be difficult to repel the enemy. Therefore, please send reinforcements to destroy the enemy! ”

After Xue Ji and the other soldiers finished reading, he said: "General Ma's department is not a reorganized division, and there are only more than 21,000 people. If only Yan Liang's 50,000 soldiers and horses can still support it, if Wen Chou's 50,000 soldiers and horses besiege the city, wouldn't it be dangerous? ”

Hearing this, Ling Bao said: "Governor, the last general is a plan for the enemy to attack the west. Our army still has more than 20,000 elite soldiers in Shangjun, and the enemy army of 50,000 will attack it, and I am afraid it will be difficult to break it for a while! If our army goes to the rescue, if the enemy lies in the middle of the way, attacks our reinforcements and annihilates them; If you pretend to be a defeated soldier of our army at night and knock on me to close the door, if you pretend to be a surprise soldier, won't our army lose the city and lose the village? ”

What Cheng Lan said is true. After the enemy general Wen Chou led 50,000 elite soldiers out of the village, he must have set up an ambush in the middle of the road to attack our reinforcements! Now I should design a plan, first defeat the ugly, and then defeat the good. After listening to Ling Bao's words, Xue Ji laughed and said, "The old man has clashed with Lu Bu and others several times under the command of Taishang and King Qin over the years, but I don't know that Lu Bu has such a plan, so I should try it with him!" ”

Zhang Xiu said on the side: "Governor, I'm afraid that this plan is not from Lu Bu's hand. If our army rises to the rescue, how can the enemy resist the siege? ”

When Xue Ji heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned. Yes! The defenders of Hexi are only more than 100,000, and two divisions will be dispatched for this rescue, even if they are two non-integrated divisions of Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, there are only more than 60,000 people left in the city. And the enemy troops outside the city were as many as 100,000, staring at them fiercely. But if you don't go to the rescue, won't you see death and not save you? What's more, Ma Dai is also his subordinate, how can he not save him?

Xue Ji then said: "It's okay! The news of the order in the capital was that Zhuge Kongming, the prime minister of the left, would attract a large army to come soon. There were two divisions left in the city to deal with the enemy forces outside the city. Meng Qi! ”

"The last general!" Ma Chao stood up and answered.

"You immediately led the Ma Tie Division and the Ma Xiu Division to quickly reinforce Shangjun. Keep in mind where the enemy lurks in the middle. Xue Ji said, walked to the edge of the sand table, pointed to a place between Hexi and Shangjun, and said, "Here, the enemy army must be fortified here." Although our army has a strong counterattack capability, if it is attacked by the enemy's arrow rain, it will also lose soldiers in vain. Therefore, if you can counterattack it, it will definitely have a good effect. And if Meng Qi can kill Wen Chou in one fell swoop, the enemy army will definitely be defeated without a fight! ”

"What does the governor mean?" Ma Chao has been in the army for more than 20 years, so he naturally understands the truth of counter-attack, so he asked.

"This matter still needs to be done after you arrive at the location." Xue Ji said.

Ma Chao then led Ma Tie and Ma Xiu to retire.

It is said that Ma Chao took Ma Tie and Ma Xiu to lead the army of more than 50,000 people. Ma Tie and Ma Xiu are mostly old subordinates under Ma Chao, and the personal guard team is all Qiang cavalry warriors, and the rest of the regiments are configured with two horses and three steps. It's just that each team has less than 5,000 people.

Ma Chao made Ma Tie lead the army and horses of the headquarters as the rear army, and led the Ma Xiu division headquarters as the front army, and went straight to Shangjun.

As he was traveling, he saw a high gang in front of him, and the avenue passed above it, and on both sides there were half-human-high artemisia grass. In the middle of winter, the winter snow has not arrived, and the artemisia grass is yellow. Ma Chao looked at the place where Xue Ji pointed out to him, and secretly wondered in his heart, how to make the enemy army show up, or attack the enemy army from behind?

Suddenly, Ma Chao's eyes fell on the swords, stones, and chopsticks exposed on his guards. Fire Attack! An idea popped up in his head.

"Stop!" Ma Chao shouted loudly, and then sent the guards to come and asked, "Can you carry flammable materials?" ”

"Back to the capital, except for the padded clothes with you, there is nothing flammable!" The soldier replied.

Coat?!

Ma Chao couldn't help but smile bitterly, looked up at the barren grass on the high place, looked at the direction of the wind, and said: "You led more than ten people, before rushing to that dirt slope, ignite the barren grass with flint, ignite the fire, and return quickly!" ”

"Whoa!" The soldier of the guard answered, and beckoned a few men to run towards the high slope with flints.

At this time, the wind direction is the north wind blowing south, and this is also a corner from north to south. After the fire was lit, it was really a wind that rose and the fire flared up. The fire swept away several zhang of barren grass on the high slope in the time of half a pillar of incense, and the fire spread more than half a person.

The soldiers of Qi who were hiding in the barren grass suddenly panicked, Rao is Wen Chou had been in battle for a long time, and he was also flustered by this sudden situation. In the vast sea of fire, countless soldiers were trampled to death.

Wen Chou finally managed to calm down the soldiers, but found that the enemy cavalry swept like a violent wind, wantonly slashing among his own soldiers.

Wen Chou was furious, and used his sword and shield to intercept the Han cavalry. Wen Chou, who was over fifty years old, was blackened by the smoky gray hair, and his sallow old face became black. Although the Qiang cavalry was brave, it was also difficult to be an enemy in the face of Wen Chou. The old guy is really old and strong, and the courage is more like back then.

Ma Chao saw clearly in the formation, and knew that others were not the enemies of Wen Chou, so he turned his horse over and shouted: "Wen Chou Xiu wants to be strong, and he will come to fight you!" ”

As he spoke, "Fluttering" stabbed out with a shot, and went straight to the throat of Wen Chou Gengsang.

As the saying goes: people don't take their muscles and bones as their ability. At this time, Wen Chou was first burned by smoke and fire, and then killed several Qiang cavalry warriors in a row, and his full strength had already gone to five points. And Ma Chao had the momentum that had just been put into battle at this time, and he had already accumulated enough strength, so he was waiting to be released.

On the battlefield, no one will give the enemy a chance to rest. Ma Chao will not. I saw Ma Meng's spear stabbing at Wen Chou's throat like lightning. Wen Chou raised his shield to block.

How do you know that Ma Chao's spear is not old, and before it reaches Wen Chou's shield, it has already retracted, and the heavy spear stabbed at Wen Chou's waist. This shot was even faster than the previous one. Wen Chou hurriedly swung his knife and slashed, intending to cut the spear away.

Ma Chao took advantage of the situation and the spear floated by, turned the horse sideways, and shot Wen Chou directly to sit down on the horse's buttocks.

Wen Chou was so depressed in his heart, how could he meet such a guy with such fast marksmanship? I had to grit my teeth and wave my knife to block again. It's a pity that Wen Chou is already old, and when he is not in his prime, this knife is still a little slower.

The horse's spear stabbed hard at the horse's buttocks. Wen Chou sat down on the horse and was frightened by the pain, so he overturned the owner on his back and ran away.

Poor Wen Chou's generation of fierce generals died here.

Ma Chao didn't wait for Wen Chou to get up, he stepped forward, stabbed out the spear, stabbed Wen Chou on the spot, cut off his head, and picked it at the end of the gun.

Wen Chou's subordinates saw that Wen Chou had died unexpectedly, and they scattered and fled, and few fought to the death.

Seeing this, Ma Chao ordered the Qiang knights to chase and kill.

Seeing this, Matthew stepped forward and admonished: "Brother, don't chase after you." We should go to the county to rescue our cousin! ”

When Ma Chao heard this, he made the soldiers mingjin, and then let the ugly soldiers and horses flee on their own.

At this time, outside the Shangjun city, Yan Liang personally pressed the formation, so that the army directly attacked the city.

The Qi army was on three sides, and the firepower was quite fierce. Ma Dai led the guerrilla general Liu Jun to the east gate to defend the first regiment, the assault general Hu Che'er led the second regiment to the north gate to defend, and the staff general Hu Zhen led the third regiment to the south gate to defend; The 4th and 5th regiments were left as mobile units to respond back and forth. He personally went to the east gate to supervise the battle.

Covered by the city wall, although Ma Dai and others defended it hard, they still repelled the enemy army to the city four times. Looking at the Qi army below who were dying, and looking at the defenders around him who were constantly decreasing, Ma Dai didn't know if he could hold until the reinforcements arrived, and he didn't know if he could repel the enemy's attacks a few more times.

However, the world is impermanent, and no one can say when God will look at you with his own eyes.

Just when he lost nearly two more battalions of troops, Ma Dai thought that the enemy would not be able to resist the next attack. Yan Liang's rear army was in chaos, and when he looked at it from afar, he seemed to see a big banner embroidered with the word "Liu".

Ma Dai's heart was shocked, reinforcements!

His body, which was very tired, was suddenly full of strength, Ma Dai held a big gun in his hand and shouted loudly: "Brothers, reinforcements have arrived!" Gear up and go out of the city to kill the enemy! ”

In an instant, Hu Zhen, Liu Jun, and Hu Che'er gathered one by one and waited for Ma Dai's order.

"General Hu Zhen, General Hu Che'er, General Liu Jun, you strictly guard the city gate, and the fourth and fifth regiments went out of the city to receive reinforcements." Ma Dai commanded.

"Whoa!" The three were ordered to return to their respective posts.

At this time, the soldiers and horses of the fourth and fifth regiments under Ma Dai were no longer enough for a team, only more than 4,000 people. Many brothers had just been killed by the enemy, and these 4,000 people rushed out of the city gate one by one with gritted teeth, looking like revenge.
