Chapter 533: Xu Shu uses a plan

On the north bank of Mengjin, Xu Huang saw that the Han army was violent, and there were Ma Chao commanding troops, so he hurriedly went to the shore to dispatch troops and horses.

After waiting for a long time, they saw the enemy warships wandering on the water, but they did not come to the shore to kill, and the two armies beat drums and demonstrated, and in the evening they turned around and slowly retreated.

Xu Huang was puzzled, and his son Xu Gai came to say, "When will my father mobilize the Heyang garrison?" ”

Xu Huang frowned and said, "I have not transferred troops. ”

Xu Gai said: "The reinforcements from Heyang have arrived outside the camp and have been ordered to come to help, but the child has not been ordered by the general, so he does not dare to ......."

Xu Huang's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he lost his voice: "It's not good, I'm afraid that Heyang will be lost." ”

Xu Gai was puzzled: "How can you see it?" ”

Xu Huang paused and said: "Ma Chao is bluffing here, he must be using the sound to attack the west to lure the defenders of Heyang out, and another soldiers and horses will take advantage of the situation to attack the city." ”

Xu Gai scolded: "Judge this bastard, before he got the order, who told him to send troops privately?" ”

Xu Huang said in a deep voice: "The person who led the general brought me to see me." ”

A short time later, a lieutenant entered the tent and said that he had seen the messenger in the city asking for help, and that he had sent them to help in the battle.

Xu Huang gritted his teeth and scolded after hearing this: "This must be a trial of rebellion, Heyang cannot afford to lose, while Ma Chao has not crossed the river, he will personally go to seize the city." ”

Then ordered Xu Gai to defend the city, Xu Shang as the vanguard, with 5,000 troops overnight rushed to Heyang, although Heyang is not as important as Mengjin, but located in the upper reaches of the river, here lost, Luoyang people and horses grain and grass on the energy source of continuous transport.

The Han army has crossed the river, Xu Huang did not dare to drive straight in, and many scouts were sent in front, and it was already normal and bright in the territory of Heyang, and there was no ambush to intercept him all the way, so Xu Huang was cautious.

Xu Shangyan said: "The generals have always attacked thousands of miles away, penetrated deep into the enemy's territory, and were invincible. This time in Heyang, Ma Chao was in Mengjin again, why did he hesitate? ”

Xu Huang sighed: "In the past, when soldiers were used, a certain was a vanguard, and then there was a large army to respond, so I had no worries. Now I am ordered to defend Hanoi, with a heavy responsibility on my shoulders and no reinforcements, how can I afford to lose? ”

Xu Shang was also silent for a while, since the first battle of Nanyang, the strength of the Wei army has deteriorated, and the war is unfavorable everywhere, Xu Huang has been calculated by Zhang Fei and Pang Tong several times, and has lost the majesty of the year.

The two groups of scouts reported that there was no movement in front of them, and Xu Shangxi said: "I expect that it must be a temporary rebellion, Luoyang soldiers and horses have not yet arrived, and the troops in the city are insufficient, so they dare not divide the troops outside, and this is the time to take the city." ”

Xu Huang was also difficult to decide, so he ordered Xu Shang to lead the troops first, and then lead the army to respond, if there was really an ambush ahead, it would be good to have a response.

Xu Shang led his troops straight to the city, and when he saw that there were not many defenders in the city, he went to the city to persuade him to try the city, and asked him to open the city to ask for guilt, so that he could avoid death.

Ju Gu scolded: "Cao thief usurped and rebelled, comparable to Wang Mang, a certain Han courtier, how can he be with a thief?" ”

Xu Shang was furious, and pointed his gun at the trial and shouted: "The traitor of the master, dare to go out of the city to fight? ”

Ju Gu held the city wall in his hand and said loudly: "Don't dare, what can you do to me?" ”

Xu Shang scolded, seeing that the trial was just not out, and it was expected that there were not many defenders in the city, so he sent someone to report to Xu Huang, and retreated three miles back to prepare to storm Heyang.

When the front army retreated and the rear army was turning, suddenly the drums on the city beat loudly, the defenders suddenly beat the drums, and the city gate opened, and a group of men and horses came out.

Knock Knock Knock –

Before the drawbridge was stabilized, Ma Dai had already leaped across the horse, and the Xiliang cavalry came out of the cage like a tiger, followed by the Wei army.

Xu Shang was shocked when he heard the sound of the drums, and when he hurriedly looked back, the Han army had already killed out of the city, and scolded: "Despicable, sneak attack!" ”

hurriedly ordered the formation to meet the enemy, but at this time, the men and horses were retreating, the formation was scattered, the army was slack, where could I hear the order.

When the rear army heard the sound of drums, they saw the cavalry galloping and ran, but the front army followed Xu Shang and turned around, squeezing in front and back.

The cavalry was extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye, they rushed into the chaos with smoke and dust, and Ma Dai took the lead, wielding several people with his sword, and was invincible.

Xu Shang was anxious and angry in the chaos of the army, but he was helpless, and before he could form a formation, Ma Dai had already broken through the barrier of his own soldiers, rushed to the front, and slashed with a knife: "Death!" ”。

"Shameless-" Xu Shang was furious, he was very unfamiliar with the general, he had never seen it, and roared and raised his gun to fight.

I saw a brilliant sword flash, a stream of blood sprayed in the air, and Xu Shang's head flew into the air.

Seeing this, the Wei army became more and more alarmed, abandoned the armor and fled back, this is the first battle of the Xiliang soldiers into the Central Plains, all of them bravely took the lead, destroying the withered and decaying, leaving a corpse where they passed.

Ma Dai took advantage of the victory to pursue, the Wei army was defeated and left, chased out four or five miles, saw the dust on the road, and knew that Xu Huang's reinforcements had arrived, so he collected his troops and returned to the city.

Xu Huang got the news from Xu Shang, and was leading the troops to come, when he suddenly saw the front army running in chaos, and the defeated army reported that Xu Shang had been attacked and died in front of the battle, so he couldn't help but be furious and chased to the city.

Ma Dai had already lined up in formation, pointed to the corpses all over the ground and laughed: "I have heard for a long time that Xu Huang has trained his troops well, and from a certain point of view, it is nothing more than that." ”

Xu Huang's face was pale, and seeing that this cavalry lineup was very neat, he knew that it was extraordinary, and said in a deep voice: "Come and get the name of the general!" ”

Ma Dai immediately crossed the knife and said proudly: "I am Xiliang Ma Dai is also, do you dare to fight?" ”

When Xu Huang heard the name of Ma Dai, he knew that it was related to Ma Chao, and if he wanted to recapture Heyang, he must first get rid of this cavalry, not to mention that he would kill him with an axe.

Ma Dai first pacified Xiliang with Ma Chao, and then when he returned to Guanzhong, the situation had already been controlled by Liu Qi, Liangzhou assassin Shi Weikang surrendered, and the Wei army was defeated and retreated to Hedong.

At this time, when he met Xu Huang, he couldn't help but be high-spirited, and he fought with a knife, Xu Huang's big axe was calm and sharp, and he forced his knife to retreat, and the two fought for more than ten times, each frightened.

Xu Huang was also surprised, he couldn't imagine that in addition to Ma Chao in the Xiliang army, there were such a person, and he fought for more than ten times, he was annoyed in his heart, and shouted that he raised his axe and attacked fiercely, wanting to split it under the horse.

Although Ma Dai's martial arts are not bad, but when he encounters a military general like Xu Huang, he still feels a little difficult, and after thirty years, he is gradually defeated and is on the defensive.

"Sure enough, he deserves to be Cao Thief's confidant!" Xu Shu watched the battle in the city, nodded slightly, but was not in a hurry to collect the troops, but commanded the soldiers beside him: "Raise the flag!" ”

On the sentry tower on the left, the defenders waved the red flag to send a signal, and then they heard the drums behind the hillside outside the city, and there were ambushes from the flanks, it was Zhang Wei and Shamoke, who had been in ambush outside the city for a long time.

The Wei army was cheering for Xu Huang, preparing to take advantage of the victory to rush to kill, but there were ambushes behind him, and he was caught off guard.

Xu Huang didn't expect that there were so many Han troops, so he didn't care about continuing to fight with Ma Dai, so he waved his axe to force him back, and turned his horse away.

"Xu Huangxiu is gone!" Ma Dai regained his spirit and led the cavalry to take advantage of the momentum to kill.

Although Xu Huang led the troops well, the defeat was like a mountain, and the soldiers were defeated and fled, and they could not stop it at all, so they had to be defeated in the chaotic army.

At this time, Guo Huai also led the defenders in the city to kill, the morale of the Han army was greatly boosted, and the four generals showed their majesty, followed the Xiliang cavalry, and chased more than ten miles back, and received countless weapons along the way.
