Chapter 293: Facing the Enemy!
"Kill...... Kill......"
A burst of shouting and killing sounds suddenly came, and along with this burst of shouting and killing were dozens of sharp arrows.
"Snatch ......"
With a series of sounds, dozens of arrows were immediately inserted into the camp gate.
"Soldiers, kill with me!"
The enemy actually sent people to attack, and Xu Huang, who was in charge of patrolling the camp, immediately ordered to lead the army to pursue.
It's a pity that when Xu Huang chased out, he was greeted by only a few arrows, and these arrows were naturally helpless against Xu Huang, holding a weapon and waving it, which blocked this wave.
But what annoyed Xu Huang was that when he wanted to step forward to fight with him, he could only see the other party's distant figure and the dust raised, and no matter how much he wanted to pursue, he couldn't catch up.
Although Xu Huang is also led by elite soldiers, and his crotch is also a good horse, if he says that he wants to catch up with the other party, he is indeed a little weak.
Xiliang's horses are no less than Xu Huang's corporaries.
"Damn Xiliang coward! This has been the case three times in a row, and he dares to use this tired tactic against our army! ”
Xu Huang scolded secretly, but after all, Xu Huang is a general who can stand alone, and he naturally understands why the other party is like this.
This is a tired strategy, people have to respond, and they dare not respond, if not, a little careless, it will be a surprise attack by the other party, and the loss will be big at that time.
After returning to the camp and arranging patrols and guards, Xu Huang went straight to the camp tent, and after seeing Wei Tao, he immediately saluted.
"Lord Qi, the Xiliang army that came to attack has retreated. But under its harassment. Our army is tired. If it is not contained, I am afraid that the morale of our army will go down and the morale of the enemy will rise, and it will be easy to attack and accept it when the time comes! ”
Wei Tao nodded lightly, he was also experienced in a hundred battles, Wei Tao naturally understood the truth of this, and frowned slightly, Wei Tao immediately asked.
"Xiliang is mostly a martial artist. I don't know when I had this resourcefulness again? Gongming, do you know who that army is? Is it under Ma Teng's command, or is it Han Sui's people? ”
Hearing Wei Tao's question, Xu Huang shook his head after thinking about it slightly.
"Lord Qiqi, the enemy has come several times, but they dare not confront our army, I really don't know its truth, let alone who it leads."
Hearing Xu Huang's words, Wei Tao was also helpless. After all, Xu Huang is no wonder about this.
"My lord, it is reported that Ma Teng and Han Sui have already sent troops from Wuwei and Xiping. Each led an army of 20,000 people, and many of them were Qiang people. Regardless of whether this vanguard is Ma Teng or Han Sui's vanguard, as long as the lord orders a general to patrol the three-mile land, it can be defended, since the other party is coming to harass, the number of soldiers and horses must not be abundant, as long as the general is careful, he will definitely not fall into the ambush of the other party. ”
At this time, Chen Qun just said, although Chen Qun may not be able to think like Zhou Yu and others, but every word is a decent strategy.
Although the conspiracy was lost, it was the righteous and righteous strategy that made it even more difficult to decide.
"Good! Gongming, I ordered you to lead the men and horses of your headquarters to parade around our army, so that they did not dare to approach our army. Remember to be cautious and don't fall into an ambush. ”
"No!"
Hearing Wei Tao's order, Xu Huang immediately agreed and left.
After Xu Huang left, Wei Tao did not let go, and still looked carefully at the spread map, before Wei Tao was discussing military affairs with Chen Qun.
"Changwen, look at this picture, if the two armies clash, I am afraid that it will be on this Wei River, with water conservancy, with cavalry raids, so that it will be difficult for our army to cross the river. Now that it is close to winter, the rivers and mountains are biting, and people can't enter, so that Xiliang has the right time and place, and the Qiang people are also considered to have won the peace, no wonder they dare to fight with our army. ”
said so, but Wei Tao's face was calm, without the slightest anxiety.
"Haha...... The lord laughed, so where is the right time, place and people? The weather is close to winter, although the Qiang people are not afraid of the cold, but the tribe cattle and sheep do not know the life and death, plus they were forcibly recruited by Ma Teng and Han Sui, and their hearts must have grievances. Only the cavalry of the Western Liang and the opposite bank still need to be treated with caution, if it adopts such a strategy, I am afraid that it will be difficult for our army to gain a foothold on the other side. ”
Hearing Chen Qun's words, Wei Tao couldn't help but nod slightly, this was exactly what Wei Tao was thinking about before.
As long as the Xiliang army harasses back and forth, it will be difficult for Wei Tao to set up camp on the other side, and without a foothold, it will naturally be difficult for Wei Tao to compete with the Xiliang army.
Speaking of which, facing the current Xiliang Army, Wei Tao is more embarrassed than the confrontation with Yuan Shao in the past.
In fact, Wei Tao was also considered good luck in the past, so after Yuan Shao himself entered Chang'an, he was indulged in the scenery of being the prime minister and getting the throne, and he did not go out in person, but only sent his own straw bale son to lead the army.
As a result, Wei Tao continued to kill the elite under his command, and when the elite was exhausted, Wei Tao was already in Chang'an City.
At this time, the ministers and generals were all empty, and the rest of the people directly counterattacked under the leadership of Xu You, which made Yuan Shao easily defeated.
But now it is different, after seeing Wei Tao's strength, everyone in Xiliang is on alert, and they sent people to block Wei Tao early, so that Wei Tao could not quickly enter the strong army.
"Changwen doesn't need to worry, in fact, I already have a strategy for this, which can make our army quickly set up camp, and then confront the two armies, but if you want to consume the power of the Qiang people, I am afraid that my soldiers will also suffer a lot of damage, I don't know if I should do it."
Without Zhou Yu and others to follow, Wei Tao naturally had to think more.
"At this time, the weather is cold, although I don't know how to observe the celestial phenomena, but I know that the weather will soon turn cold, as long as the time is to build a camp with sand and soil, and then splash it with cold water, and the weather is very cold, the water will be frozen, so that you can build a small city, set up a camp and fight with the two armies of Xiliang."
"The lord has a wonderful plan!"
Hearing what Wei Tao said, Chen Qun immediately said for it.
"Building the earth as a city can show the strength of our army, and the Qiang people are superstitious, and when they see the lord like this, they must think that the heavenly soldiers are coming. As long as they are suppressed by military force, the surrender of the Qiang is just a matter of fingertips. As for the lord's worries, he also knows it, but why didn't the lord lure him with the army and let him have to fight? ”
"Oh?"
Wei Tao couldn't help but be a little curious about what Chen Qun said, and when he saw that Wei Tao wanted to ask, Chen Qun didn't hide it at all, and immediately said.
"My lord, those foreign barbarians have always been the most martial and brave people, and my lord must know about this. Ma Chao, the son of Ma Teng, has the name of 'Shenweitian General' among the Qiang people, and if the lord wants to fight with him, he doesn't need anything else, as long as he orders people to rumor a battle. ”
Saying this, Chen Qun immediately got up and said to Wei Tao.
"Lord, Chen Qun has not made an inch of merit since he joined the command of the lord, and he is willing to be the messenger to go to the camps of Ma Teng and Han Sui to stir up his army's spirit, so that he has to fight with the lord."
"Do you want to make a long article?"
Wei Tao was slightly stunned, he couldn't have imagined that Chen Qun would make such a suggestion, but he soon said with a smile.
"The two armies do not fight each other, but they are also insulted, and sometimes there are even swords and axes, not to mention how can the Xiliang barbarians know this?"
The meaning of Wei Tao's words was already to refuse his invitation, but Wei Tao was unwilling to let Chen Qun be his envoy.
It's not that Wei Tao doesn't believe in Chen Qun's ability, but as an envoy, it's not just a matter of going to say a few words, a little carelessness will lead to death.
What's more, Wei Tao has recognized Chen Qun's talent these days, so he naturally doesn't want him to have an accident, so he doesn't want to.
"The Lord is mindful, and the group knows it, but I have to go. Not to mention that the lord's command should stand on meritorious service, if the group sees things and does not go, why sit in this position? Besides, the current situation must excite Xiliang, if not, the will of the lord is to stalemate here, why consume the strength of the Qiang people? ”
Wei Tao had to say that no matter what his talent is, he can be a person who is a minister, and he doesn't say what his strength is, but this eloquence is first-class, at least after saying this, Wei Tao has nothing to say.
"Well, everything is as it is meant by a long article."
After discussing it, Wei Tao naturally ordered to march into Xiliang, no matter what strategy he calculated, he would only be able to do something after facing the Xiliang army.
Originally, after entering Liangzhou, the stagnant guard army moved quickly, and countless soldiers moved quickly.
During the march, Wei Tao not only ordered Xu Huang to cruise on both sides, but also ordered Tai Shi Ci to lead the cavalry under his headquarters to patrol and investigate the forward army.
Tai Shi Ci is good at archery, even if it is the Huns, Wu Huan's cavalry may not be able to be stronger than him in cavalry archery, although the cavalry under his command may not have Tai Shi Ci's archery, but there is Tai Shi Ci, several times encountered that Xiliang rangers, have left a few corpses, so that the Xiliang army has suffered a good loss, since then, the Xiliang army naturally does not dare to covet the Wei Tao army.
However, the Western Liang Army did not just rely on this crooked way, as Wei Tao had predicted before, since it was necessary to intercept Wei Tao and let Wei Tao withdraw from Liangzhou, then Ma Teng and Han Sui would have to fight.
It's just that the Xiliang army will not give up its geographical advantages, and sure enough, the Tun army is at the mouth of the Wei River, but the two armies of Ma Teng and Han Sui have mustard, so they also set up two large camps on the other side of the river.
Although it was also a place for Wei Tao to set up camp, it was on the open riverbank, and as long as the cavalry charged, the camp could be crushed.
This is a trap left for Wei Tao.
Even if Wei Tao has a method of building soil for the city, after arriving at the mouth of the Wei River, under some inspection, Wei Tao found out.
"A good Xiliang army, there is such a dangerous place here, if the blockade is here, I am afraid that even our army will not be able to be the enemy, and if it is delayed for a long time, it will be difficult to save food and grass, so it can only retreat slowly. It's a good calculation! (To be continued......)
