Chapter 572: A little bit of a courtesy
"Do you want Ben Shuai to make a wall grass at both ends of the first mouse?" Ma Potter stared at Rosta and said, "But I have a deep grudge against the Fifth Legion, and if they win in the Guanzhong Plain, there will definitely be no benefit to me in the future!" ”
"What deep hatred?" Rosta laughed, "What is the fate of the Third Theater against the Fifth Legion?" Samp was captured, and Deputy Field Marshal Elva became the Deputy Field Marshal of the Fifth Army! Each is just his master, not a deep hatred! And now it is clear that the marshal's Fourth Theater and the Fifth Army have repeatedly fought against each other, chasing and attacking the Fifth Army Corps, and the Fifth Army has always avoided the main force of the Marshal, if the Marshal continues like this, and does not leave a way back for himself, it will be difficult to speak in the future! Hehe, be a man and leave a line, he will meet in a good day, Lord Marshal, don't do things desperately, it's not time to bet yet! ”
"Rosta, when did you first get this idea?" Marbot looked at Rosta with a strange expression and asked, "Or did you have this kind of disobedience from the beginning?" ”
"Lord Marshal said this, I'm afraid I can't afford it!" "As I said, I'm just expressing a different opinion, and I'm not the only one who has such an opinion, but the whole army has it, and they're just expressing their thoughts through my voice!" If you talk about the heart of disobedience, I'm afraid Your Majesty will be the first to be the one who can't afford it! ”
"Shut up!" Marbot glared at Rosta angrily, then lowered his angry face and said, "Although Your Majesty does not trust Ben Shuai as much as the First War Zone and the Second War Zone, at least it is a gift of knowledge!" Now that Your Majesty is in trouble, what reason does this commander have not to work hard to serve his life? If you say anything, this commander should not have heard anything, and you are not allowed to spread this kind of thinking in the army, otherwise, I will ask you about your head! ”
"Yes!" Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Rosta smiled and left.
……
"Lord Marshal, Lu Swancheng has opened the city gates!" Shortly after Rosta's departure, the messenger entered the tent to report to Marport.
"Open the gates?" Marbot stood up in surprise, and then asked, "Did the other party do anything?" ”
"No, the three city gates were opened at the same time, and a lot of carts and supplies were pulled out, and then the city gates were closed again!"
Surprised, Ma Potter immediately walked out of the tent and came to a short distance outside the city gate, only to see his soldiers pulling hundreds of carts of supplies into his barracks, talking and laughing, and very happy.
"What are you doing?" Marbot immediately stepped forward and asked the leading commander sharply.
The commander immediately replied in a panic: "Lord Marshal, we have counted the things abandoned by the enemy in the city, and there are two hundred carts of grain and two hundred carts of military supplies, all of which are extremely short of us, and they are still packed and unopened!" ”
"Abandonment?" Marbot asked angrily, "Is the enemy's grain going to mold, or is there no room for the supplies?" ”
There was a shortage of food and materials in the army, and during this time, they relied on plundering along the way to obtain supplies, and now someone is sending food, regardless of whether he was sent by the enemy or not? The soldiers were glad to be speechless at Marpote's question.
"Lord Marshal, I almost forgot that there was a letter on the car at the head of the line!" The commander was so excited that he forgot about it and hurriedly handed the letter to Mapot with both hands.
Marbot opened the letter suspiciously, but it was a handwritten letter, only to see that it was written: "Marshal Marbot, my ministry knows that the marshal is short of materials and the military rations are running out. The Marshal and us have discussed the matter, and we have all acted according to the plan, and the Marshal Wanwang will keep in mind the agreement between the two and will ...... after entering the customs. Deputy Marshal of the Fifth Army, Seamarks Regards! The ellipsis was crossed out with pen and ink, and it was completely unclear what it was, and Marpot was confused, and then he became furious, and felt like he had been played.
"Marshal, these foods, supplies?" The commander hesitated and asked cautiously.
"You guys look at it!" Marbot turned his horse's head in a huff and rode back to the camp.
……
Marpote, who returned to the tent, was puzzled by Simak's behavior, and couldn't figure out what the other party was going to do, divide himself, and poison the military rations? Don't be too clumsy, it's impossible, no one wants to give away hundreds of truckloads of military rations and supplies for nothing. He really lacked everything in his army, and relied on the limited food and materials he had plundered, especially now that it was more than a month into the summer, and there was still some time before the harvest of crops, and there was no food to loot at all, let alone military supplies. This was originally his territory, and it was unheard of to plunder himself on his own territory. Two hundred carts of military rations were enough for his 300,000 people to eat for ten days and eight days, which actually made him feel a little moved.
"Marshal!" Chin Chanyala walked into the tent in a hurry, and when they met, he asked, "In the morning, the two sides fought fiercely, and in the evening, why did the enemy give us a big gift?" ”
Ma Potter chuckled in his heart, he forgot that there was a cha by his side, and now there were ten and eight mouths, and he couldn't explain it clearly, so he had to force a smile and said, "I'm also wondering, what is the enemy going to do?" ”
"I heard that the other party also gave a letter to the marshal!" Nyala reluctantly said, "What does the letter say? ”
Marbot laughed, "Didn't say anything, just some nonsense out of tune!" Don't worry, no matter what, I won't fall for them! ”
Nyala smiled and said, "Lord Marshal, why don't you show me the letter, I can also help the Lord analyze and analyze, so as not to really fall into the other party's way!" ”
Unable to speak, Mapote glared at Nyala in disgust, so he handed the letter to Nyala and said, "The enemy is playing tricks on me, and if Lord Chincha believes what the letter says, he will really fall for the enemy's way!" ”
Nyala took the letter and looked at it, her face immediately changed, especially when she saw those key words that were smeared black, her eyes were suspicious, and then she laughed and said: "Hahaha, this kind of homemade letter creates something that is nothing, and it is simply a three-year-old child who wants to separate the relationship between the marshal and His Majesty by means of three indiscriminate means!" Marshal, how could I possibly believe such a thing? ”
After Nyala finished speaking, he tore the letter to shreds in front of Ma Potter, and then said: "Tomorrow the division will enter the customs, and the marshal will be busy sending troops, so I will not bother!" ”
Mapote sent Nyala away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, it was too dangerous just now, he really shouldn't have kept that damn letter, and almost let Simak succeed, but fortunately, Nyala didn't have any doubts about this letter, but destroyed the "incriminating evidence" in front of himself, which really moved him a little.
……
The next day, at Nyala's repeated urgings, the army began after dawn.
Yuping Pass was more than thirty kilometers away, and the 20,000 cavalry in the vanguard arrived at noon, but obviously their destination was the Guanzhong Plain, not here.
There was no battle in Yuping Pass, it was terrifyingly quiet, and it was not as mysterious as the envoy of Yuping Pass said that the city pass was about to be lost. The troops of the Fifth Army were stationed less than two thousand meters away from the pass, and the size of the army was about 30,000 men.
Through the south gate of Yuping Pass, the mountains on both sides gradually retreated, the road gradually opened, and the Guanzhong Plain was in front of you.
After the 20,000 cavalry arrived at Yuping Pass, they went directly out of the south gate, assembled again at the south gate, and then 20,000 cavalry roared straight towards the enemy's military camp. These cavalry could not find an opponent on the northern plains, Bobohua City itself could only watch others fight, and finally found the right army of Simak, and the people hid in the earth city, and the cavalry could not play any role at all, now it's okay, Guanzhong Plain, we are back!
The Fifth Army assisted Yuping Pass by Kolincha, leading the 30,000 Chinese Guards Battalion to break through Yuping Pass to solve Simak's predicament. But the attack on Yuping Pass was only a pretense, and the reason why Mevo asked Corincha to bring the Chinese Guards Battalion was to deal with Maport's cavalry.
Mevo didn't want to capture the Yuping Pass now, because if the Yuping Pass was captured, it would cause Ma Pote to have no possibility of entering the pass, and would concentrate on attacking Simak headquarters or wreaking havoc in the empty rear of the Fifth Army. Therefore, Mapote's hope of entering the Guanzhong Plain cannot be broken, but he cannot be allowed to enter, which is the purpose of Corincha's trip.
After Collincha stormed Yuping Pass for two days, it began to die down. The army was ordered to start digging horse pits, using tents as cover, and the soldiers were working in them, and after each area was dug, they marked it and moved the camp to continue digging.
Trapping is a very simple but immoral tactic, but it is very practical. This kind of trap is about a dozen centimeters in diameter and about 30 to 40 centimeters deep, and then it is covered with turf or hay, and there is no trace at all. This kind of trap is simple to make, but it is extremely powerful, and if the horse that runs up, if the foot accidentally falls into this kind of pit, it will immediately turn over on the horse's back, especially if the front hooves step on the pit, the horse's legs are basically wasted.
There were 30,000 people in the army, and almost everyone was doing this, and in two days, they dug out millions of horse traps in an area of nearly 10 square kilometers outside Yuping Pass. Of course, it is not completely closed, for its own convenience, there are still a few passages without traps, crooked, but only the marks made by their own people know how to walk, the enemy can't see the catty in this at all, let alone cavalry walking, even infantry marching, you have to be careful, stepping on this trap and falling down, it is enough to drink a pot.
The leisurely Kolincha, using his own barracks as bait for the enemy's cavalry to attack, quietly ordered all the crossbow chariots and catapults to be assembled in the barracks and covered with gauze tents.
Ma Porte's 20,000 cavalry vanguard rushed out of Yuping Pass, thinking that with the advantage of his cavalry, he could gallop on the plain at will, but a nightmare awaited them.
"Kill ......" 20,000 cavalry finished their formation and rushed towards Korincha's camp......
