Chapter 12 Duan Xuan
Duan Xuan has been paying attention to the situation at the foot of Nanshan. First, the vanguard army of Ma Chao's army came, and Ma Chao personally led the army to arrive. Duan Xuan watched as Ma Chao ordered to build a strong camp on the bank of the river, cutting off the camp on the south mountain from the river. Duan Xuan understood that the reason why Ma Chao did that meant that he saw through the weakness of camping on top of the Lonely Mountain. As long as Nanshan is surrounded, the rebels' water source can be completely cut off. Without water, there is no doubt that the rebels will be defeated in a few days.
Duan Xuan's heart was simply broken, he had long known that as long as Ma Chao had a little resourcefulness, there would definitely be this day. However, when he really saw that he was surrounded by clusters, cut off from water, and the kingdom was still unaware, Duan Xuan still felt panicked. Duan Xuan didn't expect that Ma Chao would defeat him so quietly.
At the foot of the southern mountain, Ma Chao's tribe was encamping in an orderly manner, first the soldiers went to the mountain to cut down the trees, and then nailed the trees with the branches cut off into the soil side by side, and then used other trees to accumulate a wall; After the four walls were built, two more gates were built, and strong bows and crossbows were laid on the walls and gates; He also set up tents in an orderly manner in the village and set up stables...... Within an hour, a well-established and sturdy camp appeared in the street pavilion.
Duan Xuan sighed in his heart, obviously they should have taken the lead in establishing a camp in the street pavilion to block Ma Chao's way; But he didn't want Ma Chao to firmly surround the rebels with a camp. Duan Xuan thought to himself that the situation was critical, so he hurried to see the kingdom.
When Duan Xuan approached the kingdom's tent, he saw that his entourage was standing far away from the tent, and he felt a little strange. When Duan Xuan wanted to go to the kingdom's tent, he was stopped by his personal entourage. When I asked my relatives what the reason was, they looked shy and refused to speak.
Duan Xuan was furious, and he said in his heart that if he didn't take action again, he would have to lose this battle. So Duan Xuan pushed away the kingdom's relatives and went straight into the kingdom's tent. Unexpectedly, as soon as he lifted the curtain, what caught his eye was a white flower. Duan Xuan looked at it, it turned out that Wang Guo was about to rape a woman, and the woman had been pressed by Wang Guo on the couch, crying bitterly.
Duan Xuan couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, he didn't expect that the dignified celebrity would actually have this virtue after joining the rebels. And when the kingdom saw Duan Xuan breaking in, he was so frightened that he immediately wilted. The woman felt that the kingdom's strength had suddenly decreased, so she quickly broke free from the kingdom's arms, snatched a piece of clothing to cover it a little, and ran away from Duan Xuan.
The kingdom, which had been shattered by good deeds, reacted, first felt empty, and also grabbed clothes everywhere and put them on indiscriminately. The kingdom's anger burned with strong pride, and he shouted, "Bold! Duan Xuan, without the general's order, you dare to break into the general's tent! What are your intentions? ”
Duan Xuan saw that this person was doing shameless things at this critical juncture, and he scolded him bitterly, and his face was not good-looking at the moment. Duan Xuan's face was angry, and he said: "Ma Chao has surrounded Nanshan, our army has cut off the water source, the general doesn't want to fight back, but he is interested in bullying men and women, what is the reason?" ”
Wang Guo was putting on his clothes indiscriminately, his neck was red, and he said, "You don't care about my business!" What about Ma Chaowei Mountain? Ben will defend this South Mountain, what can he do to me? ”
Duan Xuan said bitterly: "There is no water on Nanshan, does the general want to sit and watch our army die of thirst on this Nanshan?" ”
The kingdom said angrily: "Hmph! Ben will have his own plan, you are just a small lieutenant, and if you dare to mislead my plan, be careful that Ben will engage in military law against you! Retire! "The roar of the kingdom is great.
Duan Xuan retreated with a grim face. At this time, a bold idea began to emerge in his mind.
It didn't take long for the kingdom to once again show its demeanor as a celebrity, leading his subordinates to climb the wall and watch Ma Chao's camp. When the kingdom saw Ma Chao's camp, the calmness on his face was swept away. I saw that a sturdy and tall camp had been located under the South Mountain out of thin air, with the river behind it. The kingdom could see that in the camp, Ma Chao's sergeants were all well-trained and well-guarded: the soldiers patrolling the camp galloped back and forth in the camp, leaving no gap; On the wall, the horse sergeants stood in two rows, all of them straight, holding spears and crossbows in their hands; More soldiers were training in a large open space in the barracks, "Ho! "Ho!" The sound shook like thunder, shaking the mountains; There are also many scouts outside the camp, who are galloping back and forth around Nanshan, monitoring every move of the rebels on Nanshan; Occasionally, soldiers were adding hay to a manger, or sharpening their blades with whetstones; There were also some horse sergeants who drew water from the river.
The kingdom was taken aback. He knew that Ma Chao had collected a lot of troops from Han Sui, and he thought that Ma Chao was only able to suppress these troops by virtue of the prestige of his ancestors. But today, the kingdom clearly feels that Ma Chao has completely mastered the hearts of those soldiers, otherwise how could Ma Chao's troops be so well-trained, prohibited, and look like a strong soldier in the world?
At this time, the kingdom finally became a little unsettled. Because he suddenly arrived and his mouth was dry and hot, he remembered that he hadn't drunk water for half a day. But he knew that he must not show his fear of Ma Chao at this time, because he was a famous man in Liangzhou comparable to Yan Zhong! At the very least, he can't let the most unruly Duan Xuan look down on him.
The kingdom turned around and looked at the captains, including Duan Xuan, with a calm expression, the captains were all a little worried, and only Duan Xuan still looked angry.
Wang Guo smiled: "Don't be afraid. Nanshan is still in the hands of our army, as long as Nanshan is held, how dare Ma Chao advance? ”
"But Ma Chao surrounded the road down the mountain with a camp, what should I do?" Duan simmered.
"Ma Chao built a camp, obviously not daring to attack my Nanshan camp. If he really dared to come, our army would shoot arrows from above and push down the rolling stones, and Ma Chao's troops would definitely suffer heavy casualties. "The kingdom is full of confidence. He saw that everyone was there, and it was not good to deal with Duan Xuan.
"There is no water on the South Mountain, so you can only go down the mountain to get water from the river. And going down the mountain must fight with Ma Chao. Duan Xuan said indifferently.
Wang Guo's eyes were red with anger, and he said, "Fight is war!" I'm afraid of whom! ”
"In that case, why didn't the general personally lead the whole army down to attack? The last general is also willing to go into battle first with the general. Duan Xuan said with a smile, he thought to himself, this kingdom is really a stupid person, and he easily fell for his radical method.
Everyone looked at the kingdom, and the kingdom waved his hand and said angrily: "Good! Ben will lead 5,000 horses down the mountain and step on the horse super camp for you to see! Thou shalt hold the camp, and thou shalt not go with the generals! ”
Duan Xuan bowed to the kingdom with a smile and said, "The general will go slowly, and the last general will not be sent, just wait for the general to return triumphantly on this Nanshan camp!" ”
