Looking at the wind of a general in front of him, Duan Wenyang and Chen An, who were in charge of pressing the formation, couldn't help but feel relieved. www.biquge.info It seems that it is not unreasonable for Da Sima to insist that Yang Que be the specific person in charge of this war, and Xie Ai is his deputy.

Since graduating from the school, Yang Que has been following Lu Chang for internships, and has participated in the formulation of many military plans for the Liaodong Army, and he is very good at the overall situation. On the contrary, Xie Ai's strength lies in the confrontation between the two armies and the command of the battle.

After arranging Xue Tao, Yang Que turned around and looked at Xie Ai again and said with a smile: "Crane knows that Shijie is proficient in the art of war, I don't know if I am willing to lead the troops to compete with Ma Qiu, the general of the Qianghu?" ”

"I don't dare to ask for ears!" Xie Ai happily accepted the order when he heard this.

"I heard that Ma Qiu is a famous general, he has been in battle for a long time, and he has few defeats, so he is cautious!"

Unexpectedly, Xie Ai clenched his fists and said confidently: "My lord, Ma Qiu is just a martial artist in the eyes of a certain person, just because I have no heroes when I am Han, so Hu Lu became famous!" As long as the minister has 6,000 soldiers and horses, he can destroy it. ”

Seeing that Xie Ai's tone was so loud, everyone in the room, including Duan Wenyang and Chen An, who were sent by Wei Shuo to help, also showed surprise.

Yang Ju hesitated for a moment and reminded: "There are 10,000 cavalry under Ma Qiu's command, of which there are as many as 7,000 cavalry alone, and only 6,000 cavalry in Shijie, is it a bit of a light enemy?" ”

Xie Ai smiled slightly, comforting everyone: "There are not many soldiers, and they will not be brave but strategic!" How can a march or battle be judged by the number of soldiers and the bravery of the generals? Since the last general boasted of this sea port, he naturally had a good strategy to break the enemy. ”

"Good! Since Captain Xie insisted on this, he must have a countermeasure in his chest, so he didn't say more, and waited here for the good news of the virtuous brother! ”

The rest of Jia Jian, Yao Lan, Yao Yisheng and others saw that Xue Tao and Xie Ai had received the task and left one after another, but only a few of them were left to stay in the camp and have nothing to do, and immediately shouted: "Why didn't the senior just let me and a few others go to the battlefield to fight Hu Lu?" Could it be that I can't wait? ”

Seeing this scene, he didn't wait for Yang Yu to explain anything, but saw Duan Wenyang's eyes wide and scolded: "Bold? If you dare to despise your superiors, are you not afraid of military justice? ”

Jia Jian and the others were immediately discouraged when they heard the military law, and then Yang Que hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Everyone, it's not that Yang Crane despises everyone, but the time has not come, and the main force of the army naturally has to hide and stand by. When the time is ripe in the future, everyone will have the opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy. ”

……

Soon Xie Ai led 6,000 horsemen, came out of Chengyang County, and slaughtered towards Linqu. Don't look at Xie Ai who didn't take Ma Qiu in his eyes on the surface, in fact, he still attaches great importance to the other party.

Ma Qiu, not an incompetent person, is dangerous and poisonous, has a fierce reputation for stopping children's crying, and is one of the few generals with different surnames in Xiangguo, and is deeply trusted by Shi Le and Shi Hu.

Therefore, before the army set out, Xie Ai sent scouts to spread rumors everywhere, belittled Ma Qiu, and raised his reputation, trying to provoke Ma Qiu so that he could plan an enemy.

Sure enough, Ma Qiu, who had just captured Linqu, saw that Xie Ai only brought 6,000 steps to ride and dared to come to the expedition, and because of the previous rumors, Ma Qiu was furious, and he wanted to immediately cut off Xie Ai's head to vent his hatred.

Before the war, Ma Qiu was in the big tent of the Chinese army, convening the generals to discuss how to gather and annihilate Xie Ai. Since Xie Ai has made many meritorious deeds since he was transferred from a civilian official to a military general, his prestige has not yet been widely spread in the Central Plains.

And the outside world's impression of Xie Ai is still in the fourth place in the high school imperial examination, so Ma Qiu looks down on Xie Ai very much, and doesn't think that a white-faced scholar has any ability to lead troops.

In fact, not only Ma Qiu despised Xie Ai, but even his lieutenants Du Xun and Ji Yu were the same.

Du Xun shouted loudly: "General, this Xie Ai is just a white-faced scholar, and he dares to provoke my army of 10,000 with only 6,000 soldiers and horses? Is there no one in Liaodong? I heard that there is a Duan Wenyang who is very powerful? Why didn't he come? Just sent a powerless scholar? ”

Ji Yu pleaded: "It seems that Xie Ai is impatient, there is no need for a general to go out in this battle, and the last general can clean up the other party alone!" ”

At this time, Ma Qiu's big mouth cracked and laughed a few times, and then looked at the generals under his command and said: "Everyone, the Liaodong Army despises us so much, then we will take the opportunity to teach the Liaodong Army a good lesson." When I get to the battlefield, no one is allowed to kill Xie Ai for me, and General Ben will personally capture the other party, and then humiliate the other party. ”

"No!" The generals of the Qiang Hu Zhu should be booming.

Coming to the front of the two armies, Ma Qiu looked at the Liaodong army opposite, and the anger in his heart rose again. It turned out that Xie Ai not only did not wear armor, but was completely dressed as a scholar. I saw Xie Ai surrounded by thousands of infantry, riding in a chariot, wearing a white peep, and beating drums, I didn't know that I thought he was traveling!

Ma Qiu saw it from afar and said angrily: "Ai Guanfu is like this, this will despise me!" The whole army attacked, be sure to capture Xie Ai alive! ”

More than 10,000 Qianhu troops, with 7,000 cavalry as the vanguard, quickly launched an attack on the Liaodong Army. On the opposite side, Xie Ai was overjoyed when he saw that the enemy was really desperate to attack, and then he stood on the car and calmly commanded 3,000 infantry to meet Hu Lu.

Ma Qiu, who was originally charging, suddenly saw Xie Ai's calm appearance, and suddenly became suspicious, could it be that Xie Ai arranged a crossbow array in the dark, so he deliberately angered me, and when the army was rushing up, he shot him with a bed crossbow again?

Thinking of this, Ma Qiu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly ordered the army to stop charging and retreat quickly to the rear. He was howling and charging Hu Cai, but when he suddenly heard the order to retreat, he was suddenly depressed, and the morale that had finally been mustered up had dissipated by at least a third after retreating.

Faced with the doubts under his command, Ma Qiu hurriedly put out the doubts in his heart, and Du Xun and Ji Yu were relieved when they heard Ma Qiu's explanation. They are naturally no strangers to the world-famous crossbow array in the Liaodong Army, and it can be said that the Hulu everywhere will basically become frightened when they hear the crossbow formation of the Liaodong Army.

Seeing Ma Qiu charge halfway and retract back, the corners of Xie Ai's mouth showed a hint of mockery, and he waved his hand to let the soldiers around him shout in unison: "I have heard for a long time that General Ma Qiu is a general of Qianhu, and he often compares himself with the famous generals of the ancients, why did he retreat without a fight when he saw me today, a weak scholar?" ”

"Are you worried that a certain person has ambushed a crossbow array in front of the formation? The general doesn't have to worry about this, although he is new to battle, he disdains to commit such a despicable villain's act, and vows to defeat the general head-on and become famous all over the world. ”

In the face of Xie Ai's naked ridicule, Ma Qiu was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, and he rode on a horse and looked at Xie Ai, who was chatting and laughing not far away, and his teeth itched with hatred.

"General Ma, if you don't retreat, you don't fight, what can you do?"

"Wow! I'm mad at me! Someone came to pass my order, the whole army attacked, be sure to kill Xie Ai! ”

At this moment, Ma Qiu, who was carried away by anger, could no longer care about any crossbow array ambushes, and only wanted to kill Xie Ai to vent the hatred in his heart. He then ordered the army to attack again, and he personally led 7,000 cavalry to charge forward, and went straight to the location of Xie Ai's Chinese army.

The 3,000 infantry formed a formation in a hurry, according to Xie Ai's deployment, and collided with the charging Hu cavalry. This was the first time that the Qianhu cavalry had fought with the spearmen of the Liaodong Army, and it was obvious that the combat power of the spearmen of the Liaodong Army was beyond Ma Qiu's expectations.

In the past, as soon as Hu Cai launched a charge, the Jin infantry on the opposite side basically collapsed, and in the end they were just the target of cavalry hunting. And the spearmen in front of him faced the menacing Qianhu, and there was no panic at all, and they fought with Hu Qi in an orderly manner under the command of generals at all levels.

Ma Qiu fought for a long time, and found that he was stunned and failed to break through the defense line of the Liaodong Army, but his own side gradually lost the initiative. It turned out that Ma Qiu patronized the rush and killed, but he forgot to send troops to set up the formation, and the cavalry and infantry rushed up in a swarm, and they were all mixed together, and they couldn't give full play to the advantage of their troops.

At this moment, the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, who was in charge of outflanking, was killed behind Hu Lu, and as soon as the force of this life joined in, Ma Qiu's heart was completely flustered. He had the heart to turn around and lead the cavalry to intercept it, but his own infantry blocked the route of the cavalry charge, and as a result, he could only watch the Liaodong Iron Cavalry divide the Qihu army into several pieces like a sharp blade.

"Kill Hu! Kill Hu! With a roar of rage, a snow-bright saber brightened the eyes of the bearded dog. Three thousand Liaodong iron horsemen swept through like a hurricane, leaving a mess behind. The Hulu scattered and fled, unable to organize an effective resistance.

Xie Ai took this opportunity to attack in a big way, attacking in front and back, and then defeated the Zhao army, beheading Ma Qiu's generals Du Xun and Ji Yu, capturing 8,000 people, and Ma Qiu fled on horseback. (To be continued.) )
