Chapter 174: Kill When You See a Horse
On the first night after the battle between the Guanzhong Army and the Hebei Army, Ma Chao took the military exploits as an opportunity to be aggressive, and directly reached out to the princes of Guanzhong to ask for the spoils of war, which caused the princes to be angry.
The problem is that the diaphragm of the two sides has been formed, the gap has been born, and the relationship between Ma Chao and the princes of Guanzhong has gradually moved from allies to hostility, just like the towering giant tree, although it is always prosperous and green on the outside, but in fact it has been corroded by maggots in the depths of the trunk, just like the duckweed in the wind, and it will crumble at some point.
But although the princes hated Ma Chao deeply, they were helpless to take it.
The reason for this is because Ma Chao succeeded in the first battle, killed the general and retreated from the enemy, and has his proud capital! got Zhong Xuan's favoritism, which is also reasonable.
As a result, all the princes asked for orders the next day, asking to attack Yuan Jundazhai to make meritorious deeds!
In their opinion, no matter who takes Yuan Jun's Dazhai and establishes meritorious deeds, everyone can be on an equal footing with Ma Chao, and sealing the mouth of this bastard also makes Zhong Xuan no longer have a reason to be biased.
On the one hand, he couldn't believe in the ability of the princes, and on the other hand, it was inconvenient to offend everyone out of thin air, but he couldn't stand the hard work of the princes back and forth, so he finally had to agree and let them attack the camp where the high-ranking Bingzhou army was located the next day.
The princes were overjoyed to receive the dispatch of troops. One by one, they are gearing up. Eager to try, I was thinking about how to show off my might in front of Ma Chao after making great achievements, so that I could humiliate the Ma family.
The princes' wishful thinking was exquisite, but they missed a very important thing, that is, the powerful combat power of Yuan's army.
Among the four states of Hebei, Jizhou is famous for the rich granary of the world, Youzhou is famous for its abundance of vigorous horses, and Bingzhou is prosperous in martial arts. It is known as a strong male warrior and a warrior in the four states.
Imagine that Lu Bu, the first flying general in the world in the past, was a native of Jiuyuan County, Bingzhou, where would the soldiers be brave and the combat power would be worse? What's more, the two sides fought in the plains before, and the state army still had the upper hand. Now it is the Guanzhong army attacking again, and the state army is defending, occupying the advantage of the terrain!
How can the Guanzhong coalition forces bargain?
and in the tent of the state barracks.
Yuan Shang was lying on the collapse, resting soundly with his eyes closed, when suddenly, he heard a faint noise of footsteps and shouts outside the tent, as if countless people were running back and forth, and then got up and rushed out of the tent.
Wang Shuangzheng was waiting outside the tent with a sledgehammer in his hand, and when he saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord! ”
Yuan Shang listened to the thick shouts outside the village in the distance, and said, "Something's wrong." There is an enemy attack? ”
Wang Shuang replied respectfully: "Yes! There was an enemy attack, and it was the Guanzhong coalition army that attacked the village at night. ”
"Why don't you call me?"
"General Gao Gan said, the lord has a rare rest, let's not disturb you."
Yuan Shang shook his head and sighed, then returned to the camp, put the sash on his head, put on the armor, and led Wang Shuang and the others to rush towards the gate of the camp.
Gao Gan is a good cousin, he takes care of Yuan Shang, pities Yuan Shang, and is afraid that he will work hard. Yuan Shang was very moved and appreciated!
But at the critical moment, as the commander-in-chief, he must not go to the front line, because it is his subordinates who are fighting there, and there should be a place for him
Arrived at the front village. I saw the torches all over the mountains and fields surging towards my camp like a rolling tide of fire, but they lit up the faintly dark sky. If it is calculated according to the fact that there is one torch for every five people. The enemy army is at least 30,000 or 40,000 people!
Yuan Shang rode his horse to the side of the central commander to defend against the senior cadres, and blamed: "Cousin, why don't you greet me when the enemy attacks the camp is such a big thing?" ”…,
Gao Gan turned his head to look at Yuan Shang, and said with a smile: "Seeing that you sleep sweetly, I am not embarrassed to call you, the trivial matter of attacking the camp will be blocked for you!" Why do you need to work hard in everything? ”
Yuan Shang's heart couldn't help but warm when he heard this.
Speaking in conscience, in terms of military ability alone, among Yuan Shao's three sons and nephews, the ability of senior cadres is far better than Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang, who were appointed as assassins in Bingzhou in the past few years, can be described as outstanding political achievements, talents, and civil and military talents.
Raising his eyes and looking at the enemy troops who were constantly attacking his own camp, Yuan Shang immediately said: "The Guanzhong coalition army dares to come so blatantly, it really doesn't care about anything, but just looking at the people they attacked this time, there are still enough people!" It's really a bloody investment. ”
When Gao Gan heard this, he shook his head and said: "There are many soldiers who are not brave, the command is not even, and the void is just a form, and they can't enter our Dazhai!" The lord doesn't need to worry, just watch me retreat! ”
At this moment, the horn of the enemy army in the distance suddenly reprimanded the air, and the war drums of the Guanzhong coalition army rang out with earth-shaking sounds, shouts, shouts, and loud sounds, carrying the momentum of overwhelming mountains and seas to rush towards their own Dazhai.
It's a pity that the Guanzhong coalition army is chaotic, with nothing on the surface and nothing on the line! Although it was all over the mountains and fields, it could not attack the village at all.
Under the command of Gao Gan, the brave and blitzkrieg soldiers were arranged in an orderly manner, and their powerful arm strength and weight-enhanced stone bows were their weapons to defeat the enemy, giving them a longer attack range and more powerful penetration.
As a crossbowman, there is a common saying that the enemy is not more than three, that is, since the enemy enters his own range, he can only change the arrow three times at most, and he will have to face the enemy's hand-to-hand combat, and he can no longer continue to use the bow and crossbow.
However, the high-level Bingzhou army is obviously different, because the Bingzhou army has strong arm strength, wide range, and heavy horn bows that ordinary soldiers cannot pull, which can shorten the frequency of attacks and greatly increase the number of fires.
The rain of arrows falling from the sky was like locusts, overwhelmingly falling towards the Guanzhong coalition army attacking the village, penetrating the enemy's thin leather armor. Pin enemies to the ground. And the state army fires every round of arrows and crossbows. Almost all of them inflicted heavy losses on the enemy.
In just the blink of an eye, the outside of the Yuan army's Dazhai turned into a sea of corpses, and there were stumps and broken arms of the Guanzhong coalition army everywhere, and the gap in the strength of the two armies could be fully reflected at this moment!
Seeing that the enemy army failed to attack the camp again and again, Yuan Shang's slightly nervous heart immediately put down, turned his head and asked the senior cadres beside him, and said, "Wang Ba is a son, there is no stamina!" The combat effectiveness of these Guanzhong coalition forces is really weak, and they are not our opponents at all, but I don't know if Ma Chao's soldiers and horses can fight this time? ”
Gao Gan shook his head when he heard this. Said: "Ma Chao is very tight, since the enemy attacked the village, but he has never come forward, I don't know why." ”
Yuan Shang was stunned when he heard this. Then he lowered his head and thought about it for a long time, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously provoked a faint smile.
"Ma Chao fought with us the day before yesterday, first beheaded He Lang, and then scared away my army with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, the spirit of God is majestic and the morale is strong, and it is time to build the first merit again! Today, without his part, it seems that the relationship between the princes and him has become very delicate. ”
Gao Gan was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "What do you mean by what the lord said? Please also try to say it. ”
"Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and everyone will slander him, I don't know if my cousin can understand the meaning?"
Gao Gan lowered his head. Silently pondering the meaning of Yuan Shang's words, he said: "What does the lord mean is that Ma Chao at this moment has been excluded by the other princes in Guanzhong because he has made great contributions, so that he will be centrifuged?" ”
Yuan Shang nodded and said with a smile: "Not bad!" As I expected, tonight, the coalition forces of the Guanzhong princes attacking the village will not succeed, and in the coming day, Zhong Xuan will definitely send Ma Chao to fight again! ”…,
When Gao Gan heard this, his spirit was suddenly shocked. said: "In this case, if Ma Chao leads the troops to attack, how should we act?" I hope the Lord will announce it! ”
"Simple, cousin just need to remember one sentence, within half a month. It will inevitably make the Guanzhong coalition army no longer able to continue to fight with our army, and will disperse and flee! ”
"Which one?"
"When the princes are cut. If you meet Ma Chao, you will be killed! Then great things can be done. ”
“”
The princes of Guanzhong attacked and killed all night, but they had no choice but to meet the fierce counterattack of the Yuan army, and they had no choice but to return in defeat, but they had to make Ma Chao laugh and laugh again, and they hated it, but they didn't have a trick, so they could only stare and sulk.
The Guanzhong coalition army was defeated, and on the second day, it was the turn of Ma Chao to fight again!
Everyone thought it would be a bloody battle, and they didn't want Yuan Jun to seem to have "Ma Chao's phobia", after seeing Ma Chao's banner from afar, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to put a fart, and immediately returned to the army and retreated north, fled in a hurry, and even the camp couldn't take care of it, so he directly threw it to Ma Chao, and re-established a camp after retreating ten miles.
In this way, Ma Chaojun was confused, and made a great contribution to seize the camp!
Of course, after he went back, he had to sarcastically belittle the princes again, and only made more than ten princes like Wang Ba Diamond Fire Kang, even holding his breath and bringing a nest of fire! But there is no reason to spread the fire, so he can only let Ma Chao rely on his military merits to get used in front of him.
The more the princes led by Duan Xuan, Candidate and others thought about it, the more they felt that it was not a good taste, and then asked Zhong Xuan for his life, asking to attack Yuan's Dazhai again.
Zhong Xuan was uneasy, and he always vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't taste the taste of Gao Gan's hidden fart, so he had no choice but to agree.
As a result, the princes of Guanzhong once again sent troops with high spirits.
Unexpectedly, when Yuan Jun saw Ma Chaosh's peeing pants, and when he saw the other Guanzhong coalition forces, he immediately felt like believing in Brother Chun, and each was resurrected in place! Guarding the camp and not letting the Guanzhong army take a step forward, he only beat the crying father and mother of the Guanzhong army on all roads, and fled back to the camp in embarrassment.
As soon as the Guanzhong army was defeated, it was Ma Chao's turn to wait for the others.
Xiliang Jun has now touched the pulse of Yuan Jun, and he doesn't have to fight at all, just walk around in front of Yuan Jun's camp as if walking, Yuan Jun saw the banner of the Ma family, and immediately flashed, staggering like a mouse, and was stunned to let Ma Chaobing go down another camp without blood.
And so on five times in a few days.
As soon as Ma Chao's soldiers and horses slipped away, Yuan Jun immediately closed the door and let the dogs go, hiding his face and fleeing; As soon as the soldiers and horses of the princes of Guanzhong came out, the Yuan army was as invincible as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and all the tigers were facing the sky.
A few days later, a small phrase written by someone began to circulate widely in the camp of the Dongjun generation and the princes of Guanzhong, and the description was very appropriate
The supreme in the world, the hero of Hebei, commands the world, don't dare to disobey, Ma Chao can't come out, who will compete!
There are so many people coming and going, not to mention that the princes of Guanzhong are angry, even Zhong Xuan's heart is more and more inappropriate, and he feels that there is a lot of strangeness, but he can't tell what the name is, so that the old man meditates in the camp every day, does not eat or sleep, and his waist circumference has dropped three times.
And the princes of Guanzhong and Ma Chao are also becoming more and more detached, and the doubts in their hearts are getting heavier and heavier.
However, at this juncture, Yuan Shang, who had already lost six Dazhai in a row, finally received Zhang Yan's fast letter!
Hongnong thief Zhang Baiqi has been convinced! Just wait for Yuan Shang's next instructions! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
