~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before Zuo Yuan died, he looked up to the sky and shouted "why", the figure of Ma Han riding a silver arrow appeared on a mountain peak five miles away from the battlefield. Five miles, you can't hear screams, you can't smell blood, and you can't see the shadow of swords. The only thing that can be seen is a touch of blood similar to the remnant sun.

As if hearing that sad cry in the dark, Ma Hao's face sank like water, but he sighed slightly in his heart. Although he has never regarded this Xiapi army as his own, and this time he deliberately delayed the dispatch of troops, which also had the intention of using the Xiapi army as bait to lure Cao Jun. But Ma Han had no intention of abandoning this bait, and the reason why he could not rescue in time was because of Cao Jun's serial ambush.

When the ambush of the Cao army on both sides was revealed, Ma Han ordered to clear the light and dark posts of the Cao army along the way, preparing to take advantage of the fierce battle between the Cao army and the Zuo Yuan department to raid from the rear. But at this moment, Ma Han discovered the third ambush of Cao's army.

If it weren't for Ma Han's use of heat source scanning and commanding the white wolf warriors to locate and clear the Cao army's light and dark posts, he accidentally found a large number of dense red spots gathered in the mountains and forests on the left, and he was afraid that he would really plunge into this ambush circle - who would have thought that in this short period of more than ten miles, Cao Jun would have ambushed three ambushes! And this third ambush is obviously not aimed at the Xiapi army, who is it used against? The answer is imminent.

And the sentry later found out the situation, and the information that came back was even more hot and made a cold sweat -- a large number of rolling logs were actually arranged on this hillside, disguised with blades of grass, and once they were eager to save people, they did not have time to investigate, and the cavalry hurried past the foot of the mountain, and the consequences were unimaginable.

After a while, Ma Han finally understood Cao Jun's overall plan: first disguise himself as a common man, and take advantage of the weakness of the dock wall guards who are greedy for women. Successfully captured the Xihewu wall. Then he deliberately let Huang Li go, led Ma Han to attack, and set up an ambush in the middle of the road. And according to the characteristics of the horse-mounted cavalry, three ambushes were arranged: first cut off the end of the broken bridge, and then annihilate it; When the remnants of the army are defeated and will flee back to the dock wall, they will be severely injured with rolling logs to block the way back; In the end, the ambush soldiers came out again, blocked the retreat, and after the two Cao armies were united, they gathered to annihilate them.

This is a plan to ambush and lure the enemy. It's really interlocking, it's hard to prevent, I don't know who it's from, it's vicious.

However, although Cao Jun's plan is wonderful, the opponent is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Ma Han had a premonition and sent the Xiapi army to go to the thunder, and even broke the two ambushes of the Cao army. However, here I have to praise the commander of the Cao army. When there was an unexpected situation in the plan, the main cavalry of the enemy did not appear. This person flexibly used ambush soldiers, changing the original rolling log to block the enemy with his body. Not only did he intercept and annihilate the remnants of Zuo Yuan's troops with iron and blood, but he also used himself as bait to lure the cavalry that had not yet appeared to attack him. Then unleash the rolling log to hit it and break the enemy in one fell swoop.

This is not as simple as reversing the order of the second and third ambushes, and there is no flexible mind and the courage to dare to bayonet. I can't play at all.

Ma Han, who roughly clarified the matter, was even more curious, who was the one who made this series of plans? Who was the general of the Cao army who commanded the battle?

The answer will soon be revealed. Just watch your bait be eaten by the enemy, before breaking the enemy ambush. I can't support it in time, which is really uncomfortable. Although he had no intention of including this Xiapi army into the White Wolf Battalion system from the beginning to the end.

After many observations, Ma Han found that these soldiers were either veteran soldiers or unruly Shanyue people, and it was very difficult to dissolve these soldiers into the white wolf camp. Break them up and break them into the White Wolf Battalion, for fear that they will be incompatible with the soldiers of the White Wolf Battalion, and even bring some bad habits into the army; Let them form a battalion of their own, and it is very easy to form a mountain, and the tail is too big to fall.

In this regard, Cao Cao is a lesson from the past. Cao Cao collected hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops and selected them as Qingzhou soldiers, although the problem of shortage of soldiers was solved for a while, but their appearance made Cao Cao very troubled. It is okay for these Qingzhou soldiers to fight weaker opponents than them and fight tailwind battles, such as Tao Qian. But it's not good when it comes to hard bones, such as Lu Bu. And it is also a source of turmoil, such as Zhang Xiu's rebellion, and the Qingzhou Army took the opportunity to make chaos.

In addition, there are many people and many mouths, and being a soldier is naturally to eat food, which makes Cao Cao very sad about the matter of military food. Cao Cao is a master of the art of war of the Three Kingdoms, he has annotated the thirteen articles of Sun Tzu's art of war, and he has rich experience in commanding troops, but in the end, he has not been able to put this scattered army in order. In the end, it was a stumbling block, Fei Lao Nose annihilated the warlords of Yan and Xu, got a large number of new veterans, and finally eliminated the Qingzhou soldiers.

Ma Han doesn't think that he can do a better job than Lao Cao in this regard, these armies that are difficult to transform or too expensive to transform (it is estimated that brainwashing will take twice as much time), it is better not to absorb them, so as not to indigestion and eventually damage the "body". In contrast, Ma Han is more willing to recruit good family sons as soldiers, and despite the lack of experience and skills, such recruits are far better at drawing on a blank sheet of paper than on scrap paper full of graffiti.

"As soldiers, you finally died on the battlefield, and you died in battle with Cao's army. Under the Nine Springs, it can be regarded as having the face to face the Huaiyin people who died under your butcher's knife. Ma Han exhaled a mouthful of turbid air in his chest, dispelling the powerful and difficult suffocation in his heart, "Go in peace, although I can't save you, but I can avenge you!" ”

In war, there will always be sacrifices, and if this sacrifice can lead to a victory, it will be worth it.

A white wolf horseman galloped up the mountain, jumped off the war horse, ran quickly behind the horse, and knelt down loudly: "The city guard, I have followed the instructions of the city guard, outflanked from behind the mountain on foot, launched an attack behind the ambush soldiers, cleared all the ambush soldiers of the Cao army a total of one hundred and seven people, killed sixty-three people, and the rest were captured, and did not alarm the enemy troops going down the mountain." Our army suffered seven minor wounds and no casualties. ”

The white wolf warrior standing behind the horse warrior listened to it, and his heart was so impressed that he threw himself to the ground for the city guard-the city guard stood still here, and the light and dark sentry hole arranged by Cao Jun in the other party's circle could only be described as divine sense. Fortunately, the white wolf warriors from the Hange tribe had long regarded their city guards as gods, and they completely accepted all the incredible abilities displayed by the horsemen - gods, naturally, they were omnipotent.

Ma Han was not only pleased, but also quite surprised, he sent a total of 120 white wolf warriors to carry out the clearance operation, and the number of Cao's army was about the same. Although unexpected. The attack was unprepared, but it was able to annihilate it in one fell swoop without alarming the enemy army under the mountain, and the army was killed without serious injuries, which seems to be inconsistent with the combat strength of the Cao army that intercepted Zuo Yuanbu.

The following words of the white wolf warrior answered Ma Qiang's doubts: "These ambush soldiers are all soldiers who have just been recruited and trained for less than two months, and they are all auxiliary soldiers, most of them have no weapons, and the only purpose of their ambush is to let go of the wood. ”

I see. It's just a matter of rolling wood, so naturally you don't need any soldiers, you can't use any weapon experience, you just have a lot of strength. It is not surprising that such a miscellaneous soldier encountered such an elite as the White Wolf Cavalry, and it was also a surprise attack from the rear.

Ma Han's face was cold: "Very good, leave twenty people to control the prisoners of war, and don't destroy those rolling logs." I'm going to let Cao Jun reap the consequences...... Yes, did you ask the commander of this Cao army? ”

"The city is guarded, and the commander of the Cao army will be the military fake Sima, Yangping Lejin Le Wenqian."

"It turned out to be him!" Ma Yan shouted in surprise, one of the five good generals. It's no wonder.

With the confession of the white wolf cavalry commander who captured the Cao army one by one, the source of this Cao army, the strength and equipment and other information also surfaced.

The total number of Cao troops ambushed by the three groups totaled 728 people, all of whom came from Yangping and Weiguo in Yanzhou East County, and their main generals. It is the military fake Sima Lejin.

Before Cao Cao hit Xuzhou, Le Jin was just a subordinate of his account, not to mention reuse. It's not even a character. However, during the rest of Cao's retreat back to Puyang, Cao Cao's subordinate Dian Wei recommended Le Jin to him, saying that this person was quite brave and strategic.

Dian Wei is a recognized warrior in Cao's army, and it will not be easy for him to be called a brave person. After Cao Cao happily summoned Le Jin, he was quite suspicious of his appearance, which is no wonder Cao Cao judged people by his appearance, and Le Jin's appearance, if it is said that it is a strategist, it is nothing, but if it is a warrior, it really can't help but make people suspicious.

After Le entered the meeting, he said a word, which made Cao Cao a little impressed, what he said was: "You must not be short and cowardly, burn your wife with a broken arm, and finally stab Qingji." The humble is not talented, but also admires the courage of the sages. ”

To leave, one of the four great assassins of the Spring and Autumn Period, short and thin, but with the courage that ordinary people can hardly reach, with the staggering bitter trick of burning his wife with a broken arm, he assassinated Qingji, the first wrestler of Wu State, who was not known how many times stronger than him. Lejin wants to compare himself, not to mention anything else, in terms of appearance, it is really appropriate.

After some conversation, Cao Cao was also quite interested in this inconspicuous account official and decided to give him a chance. At the moment, Lejin was assigned a task, asking him to go back to the county to recruit troops on his own, and recruit a team, but he could be appointed Dubo; If you raise a tun, you can be the tun chief; If you raise a song, you can be a military marquis.

When Le Jin was a teenager in Yangping and Weiguo, he was a famous ranger, known as a brave and ruthless man. Le Jin, who got the money and food for recruiting troops given by Cao Cao, was like a fish in water, and pulled the banner of recruitment, and the local rogue rangers responded like clouds, and finally recruited nearly 1,000 people. Cao Cao did not break his promise, and immediately appointed him as the military fake Sima, and Lejin embarked on a new road from then on.

This newly recruited soldier had just been trained for two months, just in time for the outbreak of the Second Battle of Xuzhou, because he was a new soldier, he was ordered to garrison Xiaopei, and was recently transferred to defend Lu County.

Ma Han suddenly saw that this was the case, Lu Xian was just opposite the dock wall where he was stationed, and he naturally had to know the situation of the guards in the city clearly. Therefore, the former guard will be a nobody, and he has abided by the previous agreement, so he has not paid much attention to it. If Le Jin came to Shoulu County in the morning, he would definitely be more careful and would never suffer this loss.

With less than 800 recruits, he set up three ambushes in a row, made the best use of the limited forces in his hands, took advantage of the environment, set up situations at all levels, and almost succeeded in annihilating an elite infantry cavalry of 500 people. had such good results in the first battle, and he really deserved to be one of the five good generals.

However, is this serial game really set up by Lejin? It looks more like a strategist than a warrior. But no matter what, knowing that the opponent is Lejin, this loss is worth it.

Ma Han is no longer depressed at this time, but has a big heart - Lejin, while you haven't been reused by Lao Cao, while you are just starting out, while your loyalty is less than fifty, change the boss!

As soon as Ma Han stretched out his hand, the attendant immediately stepped forward to present the overlord's heavy spear, the heavy spear started, the spear pointed to the sky, and shouted loudly: "The ambush is broken, the whole army is on the horse, and it will meet Le Wenqian, one of the five good generals in the future!"
