Chapter 554: The Trick of the Horse
Because the Liaodong Army did not find the ambush, Ma Qiu was a lot bolder, and hurriedly joined the pursuit, and the Hu Lu even let out a vicious breath for several days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"My lord, Hu Lu has taken the bait!" The record joined the army and came to Yao Yizhong to report Hu Lu's movements.
Yao Yizhong breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and hurriedly ordered: "Retreat, the whole army retreats immediately." ”
"Bell!" A crisp gong sounded, and the Liaodong cavalry quickly withdrew to the rear.
Qianhu, who was in hot pursuit, saw thousands of Liaodong cavalry scattered in an orderly manner, and once again chased and killed with confidence. However, in less than a cup of tea, the Liaodong cavalry on the battlefield lost their trace. Ma Qiu was still worried about being ambushed, so he forced the generals to stop the pursuit.
Many of the Qianhu cavalry stared hatefully in the direction where Yao Yizhong had gone, quite unsatisfied, obviously the battle just now did not make everyone happy. Just when everyone heard Ma Qiu's order and was about to return to the camp, another group of Liaodong cavalry suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision.
Originally, the Qianhu cavalry thought that they had been ambushed by the Liaodong Army, but when Qianhu saw that Duan Wenyang's troops were still only in the thousands, they knew that there was a false alarm.
Originally, they hadn't been enjoying fighting just now, how could those unruly and untamable Qianhu cavalry just forget it?
immediately left Ma Qiu's general order behind, and raised his arms and shouted, "Kill all the people of Liaodong!" ”
The Qianhu cavalry cheered and killed Duan Wenyang at the fastest speed, and soon the Qianhu people found that the combat effectiveness of the Liaodong cavalry in front of them seemed to be very weak, and under their impact, the Liaodong cavalry broke and fled again.
Seeing that the Liaodong cavalry broke and fled all the way, the Qianhu cavalry pursued them relentlessly, and there was not even a little respite in the middle, so they chased and killed for about ten miles, and another group of Liaodong cavalry took over Duan Wenyang and took on the task of luring the enemy.
In this way, the Qianhu cavalry pursued and killed four or five rounds along the way, and scattered more than 10,000 Liaodong cavalry before and after, and achieved 'brilliant' results.
Originally, Ma Qiu planned to accept it when he saw it, but who knew that he found Xie Ai's traces at this time. As soon as he saw Xie Ai, Ma Qiu was not calm. Not only was he defeated by Xie Ai, Xie Ai was also the commander of the Liaodong Army, and if he could successfully kill Xie Ai, he would definitely greatly defeat the morale of the Liaodong Army.
For this reason, Ma Qiu immediately changed his mind, and despite the fatigue of his soldiers, he forcibly launched an attack on Xie Aibu.
But Xie Ai really didn't want to fight to the death with Hu Lu, so he only fought for a while and then disappeared from Hu Hu's sight again.
For a whole day, Liaodong carried out endless entanglement with the cara, and did not let the carah rest for a moment. Moreover, under the deliberate defeat and escape of the Liaodong army, the Qianhu achieved a brilliant victory, and until the night when they returned to Lunu City, many of them were still immersed in the joy of winning a single battle.
Faced with the strange movements of the Liaodong Army all day during the day, Ma Qiu was also a little confused, originally he thought that the Liaodong Army was luring the enemy, and there was an ambush on the way, but unfortunately he chased and killed all the way, but he didn't find that Liaodong had a trace of ambush intentions.
But what Ma Qiu didn't expect was that the Liaodong Army appeared under Lunu City again early the next morning to scold.
At this time, although the Qianhu people had not yet recovered from yesterday's fatigue, they suddenly became high-spirited when they remembered the situation yesterday when they chased the Liaodong Army to the sky and the ground.
In the face of his subordinates, Ma Qiu was not good at deliberately blocking everyone from fighting. As a result, after the battle, he found that the performance of the Liaodong Army was even worse than yesterday, as long as he saw that the Liaohu fled far away, it was almost crushed at the touch of a button.
Looking at the scene that was almost exactly the same as yesterday, Ma Qiu's brows furrowed, obviously he was suspicious.
Ma Qiu knew very well in his heart that Xie Aike was not an ordinary person, he was a general who was very good at using soldiers, and it was impossible for his subordinates to be defeated by Qianhu one after another for no reason. But Ma Qiu couldn't guess Xie Ai's thoughts, and he didn't know what ulterior conspiracy existed on the other side.
When night falls, after another brilliant victory, Kahu returns to the city, and Ma Qiu immediately gathers everyone together to discuss countermeasures.
"Generals, the Liaodong Army came to challenge for two days in a row, but they were all defeated and fled, what do you think will be the conspiracy?"
A general with obvious Hu characteristics stood up and said loudly: "General, no matter what conspiracy his Liaodong army has, as long as the other party continues to be defeated repeatedly like in front of him, their morale will definitely be extremely low, and as long as we seize the opportunity, are we afraid that we will not be able to defeat the other party?" ”
Ma Qiu frowned and said: "Although what you said is very reasonable, there is no reason why Xie Ai can't see this, since he knows that the morale of the army will be lower and lower if he is defeated, why doesn't Xie Ai take measures?" Instead, they have to send troops again and again to lure the enemy? There must be a conspiracy in this that we don't know about. ”
Thinking about it, Ma Qiu's sense of foreboding always lingered, and he always felt that Xie Ai had a backhand.
But Ma Qiu also has enough confidence in himself, he thinks that if he is 'above board' and Xie Ai head-to-head, he will definitely defeat the other party, and he is afraid that Xie Ai is as calculating as he was in Qingzhou.
"The general doesn't care what the conspiracy of the Liaodong Army has, but it is an indisputable fact that their morale is gradually declining. As long as the main force of Liaodong is discovered, the general will not care about anything else, as long as he concentrates his forces to attack the other side, even if the other side has a conspiracy, with the current morale of the other side, plus our army has an advantage in troops, there is nothing to worry about. ”
Ma Qiu said softly when he heard this: "What you said is also reasonable, Xie Ai should have adopted a strategy to exhaust the enemy, but I'm afraid that even Xie Ai didn't expect that this plan would affect the morale of the Liaodong army." In this way, Xie Ai miscalculated, and it seems that Ben's chance to take revenge has arrived. ”
What the general said was that during today's war, the last general clearly felt that the morale of the Liaodong Army was not as high as yesterday, and its combat effectiveness was also much lower than yesterday. It can be seen that the Liaodong Army is also an ordinary person, and their combat effectiveness will also be affected by the outside world. ”
"But we can't let Liaodong harass, otherwise our army will be unbearable sooner or later! Unless we find the main force of Liaodong as soon as possible and defeat the other party, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us. ”
"The general might as well make a plan, and when the Liaodong Army appears again tomorrow to lure the enemy, send all the cavalry to bite a Liaodong Army fiercely, and it is best to annihilate them all. This not only severely weakened the strength of the Liaodong Army, but also forced the main force of the other side to appear as soon as possible and fight a decisive battle with us. ”
"It seems that this is the only way to go!"
Although Ma Qiu can guess his subordinates, he always feels that he has ignored something. But he thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't guess Xie Ai's thoughts, so he had to put aside his doubts for the time being and deal with the current crisis first.
……
In fact, Ma Qiu and the generals of the Liaodong Army underestimated the Liaodong Army, but they did not know that the Liaodong Army was different from the ordinary ancient army, and the Liaodong Army's fighting will was far beyond Ma Qiu's imagination. The defeat in the past few days not only did not affect the morale of the Liaodong Army, but made many Liaodong people hold a lot of breath in their hearts, just waiting for the moment of counterattack.
"Governor, for several days of attack, our army has killed 354 people and wounded 1,351 people!"
After listening to the report of joining the army, Xie Ai nodded, and asked again: "The casualties are not big, and the arrogance of the Qi Hu is very arrogant at this time, right?" ”
"It's not just arrogance, huh! Hulu is Hulu, give a little sunshine and it will be brilliant! It's simply not taking anyone seriously. ”
"Doesn't that mean that a good opportunity has come to annihilate the enemy?" Xie Ai said quite confidently: "Qianhu will definitely think that our army will be demoralized after successive defeats, and tomorrow he will continue to pretend to be languid and lure the enemy!" ”
Duan Wenyang said with a little suspicion in his eyes: "Shijie, are you really sure to lure Ma Qiu into being fooled?" In the past few days, Ma Qiu has been very cautious, always scattering the scouts far away, for fear of being ambushed. ”
Xie Ai chuckled: "I don't dare to say that I am ten percent sure, but at least seven or eight percent, success or failure, it depends on the next few days." ”
"According to the scout, it seems that everything is expected by us, but I don't know if Ma Qiu will be fooled!"
Facing Duan Wenyang's worries, Xie Ai said disapprovingly: "Ma Qiu prides himself on being a famous general, often comparing himself to Han Bai, and he has rarely encountered defeat before, until he was defeated by a certain in Qingzhou, which made him lose face in front of Shi Le and Shi Hu. For this reason, he often complains privately that he wants to beat me to correct his name, this time he finally encountered a rare opportunity, how could Ma Qiu give up? ”
"As long as he appears in the next place, let Ma Qiu think that the main force of Liaodong appears, he will definitely attack regardless of everything." (To be continued.) )
