Ju Yi said: "The defenders of the Cousin City still want to hold on to their city, how can they go out of the city to stop our army?" ”

Jia Xu said calmly: "Because Huishui City is fifty miles closer to Lufu City than Biaoshi City and Lufu City. This means that our army is about to threaten the safety of Lufu City. Huishui City is in the northeast corner of Jiuquan County, and the defenders are naturally no more numerous than Biaoshi City, so it is easy to capture. When we arrived at Huishui City, the terrain was more flat, and there were no mountains and rivers between Huishui City and Anmi City, so our army was able to drive straight in, and most of Jiuquan County was under the iron hooves of our army. Therefore, our army will attack it and save it, and the defenders of the city will go out of the city to block our army's way. ”

Zhang Xiu said admiringly: "The military advisor is really a ghost!" ”

Ma Chao also understood Jia Xu's intentions, and said with a smile: "Wenhe, do you want to deliberately use the attack to lead the defenders of the Epitomy City out of the city, and then set up an ambush?" ”

Jia Xu smiled: "It's hard to find a confidant. That's what his subordinates meant. ”

Ma Chao nodded and said, "Okay, just use your trick to leave the mountain." I have made up my mind, and the victory in this battle is not only in the ambush, but also in this weak water. Ma Chao poked the weak water on the map with his finger.

Jia Xu instantly understood, and smiled at Ma Chao.

Zhang Xiu scratched his head and said, "Brother, what is the effect of weak water?" ”

Ma Chao saw that Ma Dai and Yan Xing smiled without a trace, and it seemed that this embroidery would have to be cultivated for a long time.

Ma Yu stood anxiously on the tower of the city gate, and his eyes could not take off the large iron horse under the city for a moment. Ma Yu himself also led the cavalry, and saw that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry seemed to have become more sophisticated. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry surrounded the Epito's City, and the black clouds overwhelmed the city and wanted to destroy it, and the horse play suddenly felt that the pressure rose sharply, and desperately urged the troops to be on strict guard, and the drums shook loudly.

Ma Yu thought that after the Xiliang army besieged the city from all sides, it would soon attack the city with all its might. But with a nervous heart, after waiting for a long time, the Xiliang army only silently stationed troops under the city, and had no intention of attacking the city. Ma Yu suddenly understood, he didn't see any ladder cars in the formation of the Xiliang Army, it seemed that the Xiliang Army was in too much of a hurry, and even the siege equipment had not been transported here. Now, the horse is much faster.

The Xiliang Iron Cavalry suddenly acted again, and the iron hooves rumbled on the ground, not only the newly recruited soldiers were like facing a great enemy, but the horse was also startled, thinking that the Xiliang Army was going to attack the city. The horse played for a while, and his tense mood was much more relaxed, because the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was lifting the siege of Biaoshi City one after another and heading northeast. Ma played and guessed, it must be that Ma Chao saw that he couldn't do anything and couldn't capture the city, so he had no choice but to withdraw from the siege. This makes the horses happy.

But then I think about it, to the northeast, there is weak water. Ma Yu thought, probably the Xiliang army is going to camp next to the weak water. After all, the art of war says that it is best to camp by the river, because it is convenient to draw water, and there is no danger of water in the army.

But the horse played and thought about it, no! Each of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry only brought two transfer horses, carrying weapons and grain, and there were no vehicles to pull the camp tent. And Xiliang Tieqi is not to camp on the bank of the weak water river, but for what? Horse play began to ponder.

At this time, a bad pre-cold came out of the mind of the horse: the weak water channel is flat and wide, suitable for a large number of people and horses to pass and gallop; And tracing the weak water upstream, it is Huishui City!

Because Huishui City was not close to Zhangye, it was closer to the curtain, so Han Sui only laid 2,000 defenders there, which was easy to capture. Moreover, the terrain between Huishui City and Lufu City is flat, which is also suitable for cavalry to shuttle!

Ma Yu couldn't help but be nervous, and now he finally understood that the reason why the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was marching towards the weak water was to attack Huishui City by the way!

Ma Wan understands better that once Huishui City is captured, then it is meaningless if the Biao City is not defended, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry will still threaten Lufu City. If you really let Xiliang Tie ride to capture Huishui City, it will be bad!

There was no time to make other considerations, Ma Play knew that he had to stop Xiliang Tieqi and stop Jinma Chao outside Jiuquan County, so that his lord Han Sui could have a greater chance of winning! Ma Yu raised his eyes and saw that the Xiliang Iron Horse was galloping rapidly, leaving only billowing smoke and dust on the horizon, and it was gone.

Ma Yu immediately got off the city wall and ordered a thousand people to continue to defend the city, and he led five thousand horsemen to run towards the weak water and stopped the Xiliang Iron Horse.

……………………………………………………

Ma Chao ordered Ma Dai to lead 10,000 horsemen as bait, pretending to be temporarily resting beside the weak water, he led 10,000 horsemen, Zhang Xiu 5,000 horsemen, and ambushed on the plain three miles away from Ma Dai's temporary station, far away from the weak water river.

Ma Dai's 10,000 horsemen each pretended to wash their horses by the river in order to confuse the horses. Ma Dai was no exception, he dipped his brush in the river water and washed the war horse. But Ma Dai's mind was not on the horse, and he kept looking behind him. Ma Yu didn't chase after him for a long time, which made Ma Dai start to wonder, could it be that the plan set by Jia Xu and Ma Chao to divert the tiger from the mountain and lure the king into the urn failed? Horse play is not a hit?

At this moment, when Ma Dai lowered his head to dip his brush into the river water, he suddenly saw that the originally gentle river water was rolling at the moment. When Ma Dai was puzzled, there was a slight tremor under his feet. Ma Dai hurriedly looked back, and on the weak water river in the rear, a big flag really appeared, and under the big flag was billowing smoke and dust, and there were not many people and horses in sight. But Ma Dai knew that this shaking and this smoke and dust must have been caused by a large force of cavalry. Ma Dai was overjoyed and immediately ordered the whole army to mount their horses and flee forward.

Ma Dai's subordinates threw away their brushes, hurriedly climbed onto their horses, and then put away their flags, consciously threw some flags on the ground, and quickly fled.

Soon, Ma Yu led five thousand horsemen to run, stepping on the wet and soft mud beside the weak water, and chased Ma Dai. As soon as the horse played, Ma Dai ran away a little, and there were a mess of weapons and flags on the ground, and even a few flags floating in the weak water.

The horse laughed and said to the left and right: "This must be the Xiliang Iron Cavalry who saw me coming to block the attack, so he fled in the wilderness, and in a hurry, he even threw the flag." ”

So he didn't doubt him and chased after Ma Dai. Because the Xiliang Iron Rider still carried two extra horses each, carrying weapons and grain, they did not run as fast as the horse play, and the horse play gradually approached the Ma Dai tribe.

Ma Dai looked back and saw that the part of the horse play was approaching, so he immediately ordered: "Prepare for the horse shooting!" ”

The Xiliang Iron Riders immediately turned around together, raised their crossbows, and the archers pulled the bowstrings and put arrows on them; The crossbowman simply rests his index finger on the sling. Horse play surprise!

Ma Dai shouted again: "Shoot!" ”

As soon as the words fell, thousands of arrows were fired in an instant, and countless arrows formed an impenetrable rain of arrows in the air, attacking the oncoming horse play trilogy. The rain of arrows fell quickly, and suddenly the horse-playing tribal people turned on their backs, and all the cavalry who rushed to the front were shot one after another, and not the cavalry was immediately shot to death; It was the war horse that was hit by an arrow, and as soon as it hurt, the cavalry fell off the horse.

Ma Dong hurriedly ordered his troops to also prepare to shoot arrows to counterattack, but Ma Dai had more crossbows and moved faster. As soon as the crossbowmen playing with horses took the crossbow off their bodies, the Xiliang soldiers released their arrows again and shot a large group of horse-playing cavalry in all directions. The blood of men and horses soon flowed into the weak water, and the weak water turned red.
