At this moment, more than a dozen horsemen came from behind, and when Ma Yu looked back, it turned out to be Zhang Heng, who he had high hopes for! Most of his beard and hair were burned, his face was full of black ash, and most of his clothes and armor were burned, and the whole person did not look like a Zhonglang general, but a homeless person.

Zhang Heng rode to Ma Play's side, and Ma Play said in surprise: "Zhang Heng, how did you become like this?" Didn't you burn down the camp of Madai? How did it get burned like this? ”

Zhang Heng said dejectedly: "Don't mention it, it was my troops who were burned, Ma Dai shot an ambush in the camp, as soon as I led my troops to enter, they set rockets on fire to the camp tent, when I led my troops to withdraw from the camp, I was ambushed by Ma Dai on both sides, and suffered heavy losses, and most of the troops surrendered to Xiliang Tie and rode ......"

"Ah...... How is this possible, I devised a clever plan...... "The horse almost didn't fall off the horse."

Zhang Heng said: "I'm afraid that Ma Dai already knew, otherwise he wouldn't have made a plan, ambushed my cavalry, and took advantage of the situation to attack the city." Now that Lejun City can't be saved, it's better to run for your life quickly! ”

"Good ......" saw that the reinforcements were gone, so they no longer dragged out.

The two led hundreds of remnants of the defeated army, taking advantage of the chaos, and rushed to the city gate on the other side.

Without the command of Ma Wan, the defenders of Lejun City could not resist the attack of the Xiliang soldiers. The Xiliang soldiers chased the enemy cavalry and rushed into the streets and alleys of Lechuan City, and then divided into two parts to rush up the city wall to kill the remaining defenders. Neither of the two lieutenants gave the order of "those who surrender will not be killed", because more than 200 horsemen were shot dead by the defenders under the city gate, which was the first time that such heavy casualties were suffered in the battle of Han Sui. The Xiliang soldiers thought of the more than 200 robes that fell under the arrows and fell at the gate of the city, and they shed tears and red eyes, even if the enemy surrendered on their knees, they would never accept it, but just waved a knife. The defenders of Lejun City were immediately killed, and half of Lejun City was stained red with blood.

On that side, Ma Dai had already solved the reinforcements and came to respond, just happened to meet Ma Yu and Zhang Heng, and pursued again, cutting down more than 200 horsemen. In the end, it was after fighting for too long that the war horse was weak, so Ma Yu and Zhang Heng picked up a life.

In this way, Lejun City was also captured.

……………………………………………………

When Han Sui was woken up from his sleep by Cheng Gongying again, in front of him was Zhang Heng, who tied his own hands, and played with a horse.

After listening to the statements of the two, Han Sui had a trace of coldness on his face, and he wanted to kill the two. But he also remembered that the two of them were already his only two generals, and they couldn't be promoted to other good generals for the time being, so they didn't have a seizure.

Han Sui ordered the guards to untie the ropes of the two and said, "Even if it is an old man, he doesn't dare to say that he can stop Jin Ma Chao's attack." Jin Ma Chao came prepared this time, and it was unexpected, and it is understandable that the two of you can't stop it. Get up. ”

"Thank you for not killing." Zhang Heng and Ma Yu got up with a thousand thanks.

Han Sui sighed at this time, twisted his brows with his fingers, and said, "Boying, the whole county of Zhangye has fallen, and the cities of Leyun, Huishui and Biaoshi in Jiuquan County have also been captured within two days. What can I do? ”

Cheng Gongying did not panic, and said calmly: "Jinma Chao is here, and the benefits are in a quick battle, because he has been thinking about it for a long time, and Huangfu Yizhen has waved his army to attack Liangzhou." Therefore, the lord is still holding on to the city, and he can't hold on, as long as Jin Ma Chao can't attack the city, we will win! ”

Han Sui nodded and said, "This old man knows. But now Lufu City only has Anmi City as a barrier, so what can I do? ”

Cheng Gongying had already made up his mind, and said: "Between Anmi City and Lufu City, it is only fifteen miles, echoing each other from afar, and it can be a corner. At present, the lord only has 20,000 strong soldiers and 20,000 weak brigades left, and he can send 10,000 people to garrison Anmi City and defend Lufu City. ”

Zhang Hengdao: "Since it has become a corner, when the Xiliang Iron Cavalry attacks Lufu City, the defenders of Anmi City will attack it; When he attacked Anmi City, the defenders of Lufu City attacked him. ”

Cheng Gongying shook his head and said, "No." Jinma knows the momentum of the horns, and it will inevitably make the main army attack the city, and the ambush will be behind. After our army goes out of the city and breaks off, the ambush of the other army will come out, so it will be difficult for our army to win. Today's trend, Hexi City, Jinma Chao has won six or seven out of ten. In addition to the two cities of Lufu and Anmi, we only have the city outside the Yumen Pass. We can only try our best to hold the two cities, hold on to them, and when Huangfu Yizhen attacks in a big way, we will have a chance to survive. ”

Han Sui slowly stood up and said, "That's it." Zhang Heng, you will lead 10,000 troops to garrison Anmi City. ”

"Yes."

Cheng Gongying said: "The general must remember that no matter what, you must not lead the army out of the city to fight with the Xiliang soldiers. Otherwise, our army will surely be defeated. ”

Zhang Heng patted his chest and said, "Rest assured, the last general will definitely stick to it." ”

……………………………………………………

On this side, Ma Chao solved Huishui City and led 20,000 horses to Lechuan City, but he didn't expect Ma Dai to open the city to greet him and welcome Ma Chao into Lechuan City.

Ma Chao didn't have too many expectations for Ma Dai to capture Leyun City, so he was even more satisfied with Ma Dai, saying: "It is not easy for Brother Dai to capture this city when he has no engineering equipment. My brother received information, and Han Sui sent reinforcements, and there were also defenders in Lechuan City. How did you conquer this city? ”

Ma Dai told Ma Chao about the battle of Lejuan, saying: "It's a fluke that my brother can capture this city." If it weren't for the fact that he happened to intercept Ma Wan's letter to Zhang Heng, I'm afraid that it would be my brother who was defeated in this battle. ”

Ma Chao was also a little afraid, if it weren't for the coincidence that he knew the strategy of Ma Wan, Ma Dai would really be attacked by Zhang Heng at night, and then attacked by Ma Yu and Zhang Heng. In the night battle, no matter how strong the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is, it will also be at a disadvantage. But young people always have to be encouraged.

Ma Chao comforted: "The battlefield is changing rapidly. If you can do what you can according to the horse play strategy, it is already even more difficult. What's more, he also defeated Zhang Heng's reinforcements and captured Leyun City, which is a great achievement. ”

Ma Dai was slightly overjoyed and said, "Brother Xie! ”

Ma Chao nodded, turned his head and asked Jia Xu: "Wenhe, since you have captured the three cities, how do you guess Han Wenyue and Cheng Gong Boying will choose?" ”

Jia Xu was not surprised, and said: "It's very simple, seeing that the young master is sharp and powerful, Han Sui and Cheng Gongying must know that the young master is not conducive to a protracted war, so they should choose to stick to it and wait for help." The aid he was waiting for was the 100,000 officers and troops of Huangfu Yizhen. Therefore, Han Sui will definitely choose to stick to Anmi City and Lufu City. ”

Ma Chao said: "Will the plan be released?" ”

Jia Xu smiled lightly: "Although Cheng Gongying's strategy cuts the pain of the young master, it also provides a lot of convenience for the young master. Since you want to stick to Anmi City and Lufu City, which echo each other from afar, you must concentrate the vast majority of your forces, otherwise you will not be able to resist the 30,000 people who control the strings of the young master. Therefore, except for Lufu City and Anmi City, the rest of the cities must be empty. The young master can take the opportunity to send a good general to bypass Lufu City and Anmi City to capture Yumen Pass and Dunhuang County, so as to cut off Han Sui's back road. When Han Sui only had Lufu City and Anmi City left, he would re-judge the situation and attack the city with a plan, and Han Sui would definitely be defeated. ”
