Chapter 302: The Battle of Wuwei (Part II)
In Zhangye City, it was already the first ten points at this time, but the Taishou Mansion was singing and dancing at the moment, Ma Furong was wearing civilian clothes and hugged the two beauties left and right and laughed. Bo Ma'an, the www.biquge.info master of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, said with a flattering face: "I see that Hou Mo Chen Chong is not small, but I didn't expect that the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind, and his family's nest was served by Yang Zhong. ”
"Hmph, I have long seen that Hou Mo Chen Chong's ambitions, and in his early years, he wanted to use the road with me to go to business, and the group beat me because he had long seen his ill intentions, so he categorically refused, and sure enough, he has always been obsessed with the affairs of this Hexi Corridor, and his dead nature has not changed." Ma Furong held a wine glass and said to Ma Hansheng, the captain of Liwei who came from the tent. Ma Hansheng is Ma Furong's nephew, his family's surname is Li, because he was fostered in Ma Furong's family since he was a child, so he simply changed his surname to Ma Hansheng, this person is treacherous and cunning like Ma Furong, insidious and vicious like Hou Mo Chen Chong, plus he himself is also good at martial arts, and he is very "famous" in the Ma family and the northwest area.
He was noncommittal about Ma Furong's words, but said lightly: "You have to be careful at this moment, if something happens, it will not be good." Ma Furong said nonchalantly: "Hey, I'm afraid of what he does, even if he really fights Wuwei, what can he do?" Even Qinzhou is lost, his days in Wuwei will not last long, and we can kill him at any time. ”
For Hou Mo Chen Chong, Ma Hansheng has dealt with him a lot over the years, he knows what this person is, and he is by no means an inferior person, so he definitely does not believe that Hou Mo Chen Chong's forces will collapse and perish when the matter is not final. Although Ma Furong's sphere of influence was limited to the area of Zhangye County, he divided Zhangye into three regions, the central part was dominated by Zhangye City, and he personally sat in the town, the southern part was dominated by Linsong County, which was supervised by Ma An, and the eastern West County was mainly used as his forward post and was led by Ma Hansheng.
Ma Hansheng deployed 5,000 men and horses in Xijun, which is equivalent to one-third of Ma Rurong's entire military strength, why should he deploy so many troops in this small city in Xijun, Ma Hansheng replied that Jianyu is currently in a stalemate between Wuwei and Hou Mo Chen Chong, and he deploys such a force to prevent the enemy from invading, and secondly, to support Wuwei to resist the invasion at any time.
Ma Hansheng is actually selfish, the reason why he dispatched people in Xijun is to take advantage of the chaos to get a piece of the pie in Wuwei, no matter which side wins, he plans to loot the losing side. To survive in the barren Hexi Corridor, you must compete for all available resources. Like vultures, seek food among dead bodies and carrion. The reason why the men in the northwest can fight well and endure hardships is probably this.
Wuwei City fell three days later, none of the people and officers and soldiers of the city were spared, all of them were slaughtered, at this point Hou Mo Chen Chong did what he said, Hou Mo Chen Ji's body was sent to the rear base camp, after taking Wuwei, Hou Mo Chen Chong had already planned to withdraw the army and rush back to Qinzhou to clean up Yang Zhong. Tianshui City's distress letter was not sent again three days ago, could it be that it has been lost? He did not dare to delay, and after leaving Hou Mo Chen Shun and three thousand soldiers to defend, he quickly withdrew to Qinzhou with a large army.
Ma Hansheng was very excited to learn the news of Hou Mo Chen Chong's evacuation in Xijun, and gathered a few of his subordinates Jiang Liang that night, Ma Hansheng said with great ambition: "Everyone, our opportunity to fight back to the Central Plains has finally come, in the past, there were people in Wuwei who blocked our way to the Central Plains, but these people have now been eliminated by Hou Mo Chen Chong, God helps me, and now Hou Mo Chen Chong has transferred back to the army to Qinzhou to fight with Yang Zhong, and there will definitely be no time to estimate this Wuwei City for a while, if we take the opportunity to take this city and open up the passage with the Central Plains, In the future, we can dominate the world, and we will not lose an inch of land when we retreat. So I decided to take advantage of the fact that it was still on the ground and make a decisive attack on the city. ”
Several of his generals couldn't understand what he was saying? Someone said: "Lord Captain, if you tell us to fight, we will fight, and we don't understand anything else, you just give the order." "Ma Hansheng said in his heart that he really has no common language with you reckless people, he doesn't understand any conspiracy and tricks, he only knows how to shout and kill every day, and he has no political acumen.
So he had to dryly order the assignment of military tasks, and he planned to go to attack Wuwei the next night. On the way from Xijun Road Wuwei to pass through Fanhe County, because most of the middle is desert, so the cavalry combat is the most advantageous, and the sneak attack is best for large troops to ambush outside the city, small forces into the city to harass and create chaos, so the success rate of the inside and outside should be the highest.
There is a scout army of Hou Mo Chen Shun stationed in Fanhe County, and there are not many of them, but with these people patrolling, it is impossible for Ma Hansheng's troops to slip under their noses without realizing it. So the best way is to take down this scout force in Fanhe County first. Because they are scouts, these people are usually scattered in groups around Fanhe County. If you want to annihilate this force, you have to think of a way.
He asked one of his generals to take dozens of people to disguise themselves as Hou Mo Chen Jun who delivered food to Fanhe County to transport grain, and the scout centurion looked at the cart full of wine, meat and grain, and was so happy that he immediately gathered everyone together and held a banquet, and then Ma Hansheng was very happy, and took advantage of the drunkenness of these people to kill them all, and then led the army to Wuwei City.
Hou Mo Chen Shun was still patrolling the repair of the city gate, and suddenly heard that the outside of the city was full of Ma Jiajun, and he was a little nervous to climb up to the city tower to see, Ma Hansheng with five thousand fully armed horse infantry soldiers were eyeing the battle under the city, Hou Mo Chen Shun asked puzzledly: "Who is besieging the city under the city?" Register your name. Ma Hansheng was dressed in white clothes and silver armor, with a white war horse under his crotch, and replied with a very majestic appearance: "Ma Hansheng in Xiazhangye, came to take revenge with Wuwei Taishou today, and the city tower that knew each other quickly came down and surrendered." You can be spared from waiting for death. ”
Hou Mo Chen Shun laughed loudly: "You are really arrogant, you want to go against me Hou Mo Chen Shun with this little people?" At this time, his bluff, in fact, there are less than 2,000 defenders in the city at this moment, and this Wuwei City used siege weapons when Hou Mo Chen Chong attacked before, so the city walls and gates are mostly damaged, and they have not had time to repair. At this time, if Ma Hansheng seized the opportunity to attack him, the defenders of this city would definitely die.
Ma Hansheng ordered people to take out the heads of Hou Mo Chen Shun's scout troops in Fanhe County and throw them in front of the battle, Ma Hansheng pointed at these heads and said: "This is the end of resisting our Ma Jiajun, it should be regarded as revenge for the people in the city." When the people of the city heard this, their hearts trembled, and when they heard it, they were angry. Hou Mo Chen Shun also knew that the previous slaughter of the city was completely venting his anger, which was an unreasonable and unnecessary move, but the resentment brought by his feeling of losing his beloved son blinded his mind, so he agreed to the slaughter of the city. Now the retribution has come. (To be continued.) )
