Chapter 224, The Night of the Decisive Battle

"The military advisor's wind chill has healed?"

"Well, after taking a pill of Zhang Ji's concocted medicine, it's almost better."

Zhang Liao and Ma Chao were discussing how to set up an ambush and pursue them, Guo Jia suddenly stepped into the tent, and the whole person was full of energy, and there was no sign of the wind chill just now.

Ma Yunlu followed behind, his eyes were a little evasive, as if he had done something wrong, but neither Ma Chao nor Zhang Liao noticed it.

Seeing this, Ma Chao couldn't help but feel incredible, what kind of medicine can cure the wind and cold in a moment?

So he couldn't help but ask, "Is there any superfluity in this medicine?" ”

Guo Jia froze, with your identity, it's not appropriate to use this medicine, right?

Ma Yunlu couldn't help but clench the corners of his clothes, and be careful that his liver was thumping.

"This medicine is made from many precious medicinal materials, even Zhang Ji can't refine the second one."

"It's a pity."

Ma Chao felt a little sorry, if there was really such a miracle medicine, even if it couldn't be used for a while, it would be good to keep it for backup.

Guo Jiaxin said: You don't dare to use this medicine for you, it's against heaven!

Zhang Liao was confused, he remembered that the military division was fine during the day, why was he suddenly infected with wind chill?

"How's the two of you going?" Guo Jia didn't want to continue to dwell on this "medicine" issue, so he asked about the process of calculating.

The two of them were immediately attracted to attention, and Zhang Liao immediately slowly explained the agreed plan.

This is a modest ambush plan, but it needs to test the insight of the commander, the means of arranging the troops, and the speculation of the psychology of the enemy general.

For example, when the enemy army first enters the camp, he can use his crossbowmen to kill and wound the enemy, causing his army to be disrupted.

Later, it is necessary to take into account the retreat route of the enemy general, and set up an ambush on the halfway road in advance to maximize the damage to the enemy army.

If you can do it right, after two waves of ambushes, the enemy army will inevitably suffer heavy casualties and have no intention of fighting again, and the battle will be won or lost.

"Yes, thoughtful, handsome talent." Guo Jia nodded, Zhang Liao's plan was very thorough, and he didn't need to worry about this battle anymore.

In fact, the real purpose of his trip was not about the ambush, but to see if Zhang Liao's layout included Ma Chao.

It's still the same sentence.

Those who fight, do not think about victory, but first think about defeat.

Although Ma Chao gave Liang Xing's plan in its entirety, they had to consider a question, could this be a plan in the middle?

It's not that he's suspicious, it's a must-do as a military advisor. If you are defenseless and face Ma Chao's rebellion, the army will be in danger.

Through Zhang Liao's arrangement, Guo Jia knew that Dian Wei was used to guard against Ma Chao all the way, and he was the only one in the army who could stop Ma Chao at this moment.

Only after the verification of this battle can Ma Chao truly integrate into Liu Bei Group and gain trust, which is also Liu Bei's original intention of arranging him as a pioneer.

However, Guo Jia hopes that Ma Chao will sincerely serve, lest he have to do the act of killing his uncle with tears.

……

Three days passed in a flash, during which Zhang Liao constantly sent people to the city to provoke, and on the other hand, he ordered people to build large-scale siege equipment to confuse Zhang Hengliang Xing and the others.

Naturally, the two of them will not fight, and they have a posture of strict defense. In fact, both sides are waiting, waiting for the night of the decisive battle to fall.

In anticipation, night is quietly coming, but under the bright moonlight, there is a team quietly sneaking.

A large number of cavalry drove all the way, but the jungle was as quiet as a goose, because their horses were wrapped in soft cloth to ensure the concealment of the surprise attack.

This practice is not uncommon, and if the enemy commander does not know about this surprise attack in advance, he will definitely suffer a great loss if he is unprepared.

In a short time, Zhang Heng and Liang Xing's soldiers and horses were already close to the military camp of the imperial army, and they could vaguely see the fire in the distance.

Liang Xing suddenly asked in a low voice, "Will Ma Chao be treacherous?" ”

Obviously, he still had concerns in his heart, even if the scribe he sent came back and patted his chest to ensure that Ma Chao would definitely respond.

But he was still a little worried, because their opponent was Guo Jia, who was famous for his ingenuity.

"Ma Chao has been moved by our interests, and he has no reason to regret it."

"Will Guo Jia have insight into our plan?"

"He's a man, not a god! In my opinion, the reason why Guo Jia's previous strategy was successful was only because of the opponent's five strategies. ”

Liang Xing was silent, he found that his sworn brother was becoming more and more conceited, and with the increase of troops, he already had the illusion that all the heroes in the world were at his feet.

Zhang Heng said again: "Don't hesitate, the appointed time is coming, let your people prepare." ”

Although Liang Xing had concerns, he didn't turn back when he opened the bow, so he couldn't retreat at this time, so he could only do as he was told.

After waiting for a moment, the light of the fire in front of him suddenly brightened, illuminating the dim night sky. Immediately after, there was a noisy shouting of killing.

"Kill!"

Zhang Heng drew his sword and shouted, and then led the army to kill the front barracks.

Liang Xing had no choice but to lead his troops to follow at this time.

Because of the "civil strife", the cavalry led by the two quickly entered the camp, and then they were invincible all the way.

However, at this moment, even Zhang Heng, who was full of self-confidence, sensed that something was wrong.

It went so well.

There were few decent obstacles along the way, as if they were attacking an empty camp. If it can be explained by the negligence of the imperial army at the beginning, the subsequent encounter is a little unreasonable.

A military camp of tens of thousands of people will never have only such a small number of people.

Moreover, Ma Chao, who had agreed with them in advance, was also nowhere to be seen.

Liang Xing suddenly smelled a pungent smell, which was the smell of fire oil. Then he noticed that his feet were covered with dry weeds.

"I've been tricked, withdraw!"

At this point, where would he not understand?

Maybe it's Ma Chao's treachery.

Maybe it's Guo Jia's insight in advance.

However, at this time, there is no point in pursuing the cause and effect, and the top priority is to get out of danger.

However, it was too late to open at this time, and with the light of the Dao fire, the screams gradually sounded in the ears.

The flaming arrows quickly ignited a raging fire when they came into contact with the dead grass and fire oil on the ground, and then began to spread in all directions at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In a short time, the entire barracks turned into a huge brazier, scorching hot and deadly.

The screams intensified, resounding through the sky and doubly desolate.

Fire and water are ruthless, but I have to admit that these two artifacts can help you kill and injure enemy troops at the least cost.

"Is this battle over?" On a small hillside, Ma Yunlu looked at the fire in front of him, and the scene of wailing all over the field was stunned, thinking that it would be a protracted battle, but it only took one night to end.

"This is the consequence of being seen through the scheme, be careful."

"Then why do you still use it?"
