The secret letter in Jia Xu's hand is actually two...... It was a secret report sent by Xu Shu Feige, and at the same time, there was also a preliminary investigation by the Intelligence Department. The content of the two letters is broadly similar, but there are many details that are not the same. ◎ 筆Chinese網.zbzw.◎

Xu Shu's letter first pleaded guilty for the defeat, and more content was to explain the specific losses and make his own opinions and judgments on the trend of the situation on the battlefield of Bingzhou. The secret letter from the Intelligence Department mainly stated some details of the night battle that affected the final outcome.

After reading the two letters one after another, I almost have a general idea of this battle.

"Is Yuan Zhi really defeated? It can't be a fake message from someone, right? Tai Shi Ci hurriedly arrived, with a look of disbelief on his face: "It's obviously a night attack, and the people of Xiliang should have been fighting in the house at that time, right?" Will this battle be lost? How can it be? ”

Although the Bingzhou battlefield is under Xu Shu's full control, every once in a while, Xu Shu will record what strategies he has taken recently and what thoughts he has behind it, send it to Liyang to summarize, and then convey it to Wang Yu for his final check.

Therefore, the situation before the war and the timing of Xu Shu's specific attack, Tai Shici basically knew it in his heart. He couldn't think of what kind of turning point had taken place to turn this battle into defeat.

"Strategist, what are the losses in this battle?" Zhao Yun and Tai Shici rushed to the Chinese army on the front and back feet, and the questions they asked were more specific.

"Both Yuanzhi and the Bingzhou Branch knew that the situation was urgent, so they were all urgent reports sent the next day, and the specific losses have not yet been fully counted." Jia Xu's face was solemn, and he replied softly: "That night, Yuan Zhi was the whole army to fight, and when he was defeated, he returned to Zi County and then counted the military horses, but there were only more than 30,000 soldiers left, considering that in the night battle, it was relatively chaotic, and it should be able to collect thousands of routs afterwards.........

"Hiss......" With Zhao Yun's courage and composure, he couldn't help but gasp when he heard the words.

According to this statement, Xu Shu lost nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses in this battle, and after Wang Yu raised troops in Luoyang, even if he won the battle, he did not have such a heavy loss, not to mention that he was defeated......

You must know that before this battle, Qingzhou was a unique army in the world that often won! Although this battle was not personally commanded by Wang Yu, the significance of the defeat with Xu Shu's position in the Qingzhou army was only slightly inferior to the defeat of Wang Yu's personal campaign.

It is no exaggeration to say that this was an unprecedented defeat in Qingzhou, which not only led to the precarious situation on the Western Front, but also cast a shadow on the entire war.

"That'...... What about the losses of the Xiliang army? "Wei Yan and Xu Shu haven't dealt much, unlike Zhao Yun and Tai Shici, who pay more attention to Xu Shu and the Bingzhou Army, and he pays more attention to the follow-up development of the battle situation.

"It's hard to say specifically, the Xiliang Army itself is a large-scale coalition army, and the number of rebels or Qianghu tribes from all walks of life will only be reported when the spoils are divided, and the specific numbers are not even clear to Ma Teng and Han Sui. Roughly calculated, the casualties of the Western Liang army and the scattered troops should be between 30,000 and 50,000........."

After Wang Yu got the letter, he didn't say anything, and fell into deep thought. The generals didn't dare to disturb the lord's thinking, and they were concerned about the battle situation, so they surrounded Jia Xu and asked, and Jia Xu did not hide it, and calmly told what he knew.

Judging from the absolute number of battle losses alone, this battle was a little cheaper for the Qingzhou army. But in terms of the proportion of battle losses and who occupies the battlefield in the end, the winner is, of course, the Xiliang army.

"The Xiliang Army suffered great damage in the early stage, and the eastern area of the company camp has fallen into a complete collapse, and those who trampled on each other and died are not under the tens of thousands, coupled with the dragnet clearance of the Bingzhou Army, Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Zhang Heng all died that night, and the captain Yan Xing is nowhere to be found, so it is not surprising that there are such losses......

The crowd will look at each other.

If at the beginning, everyone was just puzzled about the outcome of this battle, but now, the process of this battle has become the focus. Considering the common sense of using soldiers, the Xiliang Army first fought infighting, and then was raided, and suffered such a big blow, it is impossible to turn the tables around!

Not to mention anything else, Ma Teng and Han Sui are dead, and the dragons are leaderless, even if the Xiliang people quickly reach a consensus and temporarily elect another leader, there is no way to integrate the whole army and eliminate the chaos in that situation. But if the Xiliang army does not recover from the chaos, how can it turn defeat into victory?

"In that case, how did the Xiliang Army reverse?" Even Lu Bu couldn't hold the shelf, squeezed into the center of the crowd, and asked questions.

"In a way, it's wrong." Jia Xu looked up at Wang Yu, and saw that the latter did not say anything, knowing that it was a tacit meaning, so he sighed heavily and began to speak.

In order to take Ma Teng by surprise, Han Sui did not make too many arrangements in the army, but secretly transferred thousands of elites of his closest lineage, plus Zhang Heng and Yan Xing's guards, who have always looked to him as the head of the horse, totaling about 10,000 people.

Because his movements were small enough, Ma Teng's doubts did not arise, and when Burning Dangqiang was secretly co-opted by Han Sui, everything fell into place.

According to Han Sui's plan, after killing Ma Teng, he would take Yan Xing and Zhang Heng to attack Ma Teng's Chinese army non-stop. Ma Teng's descendants have almost 20,000 troops, but the real elite among them is about 10,000 people. In Han Sui's mind, he didn't need to make the scale too big, just take advantage of the fact that Ma Teng's sons had not received the news yet, and fight a surprise attack.

said that it was Ma Teng's sons, but what Han Sui was really afraid of was only Ma Chao.

Han Sui did not rush to break into the camp, but sent Yan Xing, who was famous for his bravery in Xiliang, to invite Ma Chao to meet. He knew that Ma Chao was brave and brave, and knew that if Yan Xing came alone, Ken Room would not make a big battle, and eighty percent would come out alone, and then Yan Xing would be able to attack him unprepared and kill the biggest threat.

If Ma Chao dies, Ma Tie is still young, and Ma Dai is a subordinate son, and his prestige in the army is limited, he will definitely not be able to organize effective resistance. At that time, as long as Han Sui sends someone to hang out the heads of Ma Teng and Ma Chao, there will basically not be too much trouble.

In this way, he can complete this fire with the most alarming speed, and even if the Qingzhou army kills it, he can quickly organize resistance and rely on the superiority of troops to repel it.

At the beginning of the turmoil, it can be said that everything went smoothly.

Ma Teng and Ma Xiu gave the head, and Yan Xing successfully made an appointment with Ma Chao, but Yan Xing got the opportunity to try to assassinate Ma Chao from the side with a spear............ A cold arrow shot from the shadows changes everything!

Ma Chao's vigilance was also very high, as soon as the bowstring sounded, he immediately noticed that there was something wrong around him, and he came to hide in the stirrups in a hurry, just right to avoid Yan Xing's spurs. While dodging, he didn't forget to fight back, and when he returned his hand, he grabbed Yan Xing's spear shaft, and then leaned back to exert his strength, lifting Yan Xing's huge body directly from the horse into the air, and throwing it out like a rag.

Ma Chao's counterattack was just for the purpose of self-preservation, he didn't know if there was a lurking enemy next to him, and he didn't dare to let Yan Xing entangle around him, but in the end, he saved Yan Xing's life

The cold arrow was originally going to Yan Xing's heart, but Ma Chao mentioned it and threw it away, which just helped Yan Xing avoid this arrow, although it was silent after being thrown out, Ma Chao searched afterwards and did not find the body, so he must have run away.

This kind of thing happened, even if no one reported it, Ma Chao knew what was going on, and he didn't care about killing Yan Xing to vent his anger and hurriedly returned to the camp to gather soldiers and horses. On the other hand, Han Sui was surprised when he learned that Yan Xing had missed, and he did not hesitate to urge his troops and horses to attack the camp, and he collided with Ma Chao, who had gathered thousands of cavalry to kill out of the camp and tried to save his father.

The old and new hatreds are terrible, and a bloody war begins.

Originally, Han Sui took the lead, he was more prepared, and his troops were more abundant, but Ma was super brave and abnormal, and there were fierce generals Pang De and his sister Ma Yunmai to help.

The one who saved Ma Chao with a cold arrow was Ma Yunlu, the little girl originally secretly went to see the excitement of the second brother Ma Xiu's marriage, but when she saw the tragic death of her father and brother. She didn't ride a horse when she came, and she had to avoid Han Sui's army, and she was actually half a step slower than Han Sui in time, if Han Sui didn't want to minimize losses and incorporate Ma Jiajun, she wouldn't have had time to report the news.

As a result, because of Han Sui's greed, this little girl that no one cared about became the biggest variable on this night, and even on the entire Bingzhou battlefield.

Although she is young, she is talented, and her martial arts are almost not under the fierce general Pang De. The battle of the Xiliang army is a cavalry hedge, and the side with more brave generals and soldiers is more advantageous. Compared with the soldiers, the two sides are actually almost the same, Han Sui knows Ma and Pang Zhiyong, and he has made arrangements in advance, but he missed Ma Yun's chaff.

As a result, Han Sui couldn't stop the edge of the trident composed of Ma Chao's three people, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers and horses couldn't surround the three thousand cavalry that Ma Chao temporarily pulled out. When Ma Dai integrated the backup troops and came out of the battalion, there was only one way to wait for Han Sui.

Originally, Han Sui had the opportunity to escape back to the base camp and fight again with the whole army, but as a result, Dangqiang saw that Han Sui was defeated by Ma Chao, and once again exerted his capricious nature. On the one hand, several elders in the clan came forward to kill Na Li, and on the other hand, they gathered soldiers and horses, and directly blocked Han Sui on the way back to the camp.

In this way, after many twists and turns, the leaders of the initiator were all finished, and in the end, it was Ma Chao who won the final victory.

At this time, Xu Shu's soldiers and horses had been in the company camp for a while, and Ma Chao was only concerned about revenge, and Han Sui was only concerned about fleeing for his life, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it. By the time Han Sui was conferred the title, the situation was out of control. Ma Chao reported that the whole army was too late, where was there a way to integrate the rebel army to counterattack?

If you change to an ordinary person, you may simply give up, give up most of your soldiers and horses, and only flee from the direction where there is no enemy with your descendants, and save your life and strength first.

But Ma Chao is not an ordinary person, although he doesn't know anything about the specific military situation, it does not prevent him from making a desperate decision with a ruthless force.

He directly broke into Han Sui's camp, picked Han Sui and Zhang Heng's heads with a gun, and walked around the barracks, scaring Han Sui's army. Then he combined the descendants and Han Sui's army into one, and killed them directly to the south of the eastern camp.

The Western Liang Army can be roughly divided into the northern and southern battalions, the northern battalion is dominated by Han rebels, and the southern battalion is Hu people from all walks of life. Ma Chao's idea is very simple, those people in the northern camp are more supportive of Han Sui, he can't go up to save it, and it is difficult to unify the command after saving it, and the southern camp is dominated by Qianghu, so it is much easier to order.

In this way, his cavalry snowballed, and finally happened to be very meritorious, and Pan Zhang's troops, who were too far away from his own team, collided head-on.

After listening to Jia Xu's narration, all the generals had a rather ridiculous feeling. No wonder the military advisor sighed and died, Xu Shu was really wronged in this defeat.

But if there is a slight difference in the middle link, it is impossible for Ma Chao to win in the end, and it is not Ma Chao who wins, and there will be no final result of beating the master to death in this mess.

What else can be said? It can only be said that Xu Shu committed Tai Sui, and his luck was too bad.
