Chapter 226: The Pursuit
Zhang Heng felt the power of the sandbag pile, and persuaded bitterly: "Lord, the armor of the Jinma Chao is equipped with a riding equipment, even the most powerful crossbow will never be able to penetrate it. Sandbags are piled up, and it is difficult for our troops to destroy. If you continue to defend the city, you will be defeated! Think twice! ”
Han Sui roared angrily: "What do you know! Our army still has 30,000 elite cavalry, and he only has 20,000 elite cavalry. Why was the armor able to capture Ami City? Isn't that because you have few soldiers and are weak? If you use the old man's strength to face the armor and cavalry, the armor and cavalry will be violently charged, right? All right! If they kill a batch, the old man will take another batch!
Let's see if he is hit hard by his armor and cavalry, or if the old man's soldiers can withstand his collision and die! The old man didn't believe it, his armor and riding equipment were so heavy, and he could still hit it for a day?! When he couldn't hit the old man's wall at all, the old man ordered the elite soldiers to go up, push them off the city wall, push them down the dirt slope, and kill them! In this way, after folding the armor and riding equipment, the old man saw how Jin Ma Chao attacked the old man's Lufu City! ”
Zhang Heng and Ma Yu heard about Han Sui's countermeasures, and when they thought about it, although this desperate persistence would definitely cause very serious bleeding and death, as long as they had abundant morale, they might not be able to resist the powerful armor and cavalry.
Ma Yu said: "But my lord, the soldiers of our army are a little afraid of war, and their morale is not high......"
Zhang Heng also said: "Yes, with such a low morale, the soldiers can't resist the fierce armor and cavalry at all, as soon as they kill them, they will all scatter in a hurry." ”
Han Sui waved his hand and said, "Simple! Under the heavy reward, there will be brave men! Immediately open the treasury of Lufu City, invite 300 warriors with gold and silver silk, and form a death squad. The old man promised that as long as the death squad could use its flesh and blood to block the front line, block in front of the armor and cavalry, so that it could not advance half a step and capture the city wall, the death squad would not only have a heavy reward, but also the families of all the team members, the old man raised them, and the old man rewarded them! ”
Zhang Heng and Ma played with this with much more confidence, and said: "The lord is wise! The last general will immediately go and open the treasury! ”
Han Sui nodded and said, "Go ahead!" ”
"Slow!" Cheng Gongying, who has always been silent, suddenly spoke.
Han Sui was puzzled and said, "Boying, what else do you have to say?" ”
Cheng Gongying said: "Lord, even if the death squad can resist the armor and cavalry today, so that it can't attack the walls of Lufu City, but what about tomorrow?" What about the day after tomorrow? And what will happen to our army? Who can guarantee that our army's 30,000 elite cavalry and death squad will definitely be able to resist the armor and cavalry with flesh and blood? Yes, the death squad that came with a heavy reward is very elite and brave, with the heart of death and the will to die. But if Jin Ma Chao personally led the armor and cavalry equipment, bravely climbed first, with the might of Jin Ma Chao, could the mere death squad resist him? ”
This series of questions immediately made Han Sui have to lower his head.
Ma Play and Zhang Heng, who were originally full of confidence, also looked at each other in shock.
Ma Yu said: "Then Mr. Chenggong, is this Lufu City really unfortunate?" ”
Cheng Gongying sighed and said, "Before Jin Ma Chao came up with a way to charge first with armor and horses, and pile up sandbags to attack the city, Lufu City would naturally be able to hold on for a hundred days. But after that, the arrows of our army resemble mosquito bites; The gentle slope created by the accumulation of sandbags is wider and less easily destroyed than the ladder truck. Even if the enemy army does not have armor and cavalry to rush to the front, the ordinary Xiliang Iron Cavalry is stronger than our soldiers. With the Liang Iron Cavalry to the west rushing up the city wall, our army will definitely be unable to resist. ”
Zhang Heng said disappointedly: "Then this Lufu City is really unstoppable......"
Han Sui's anger slowly subsided, and he said, "That Boying, is the old man the only way to escape from Lufu City?" ”
By now, all the high-level leaders of Han Suijun have been powerless, and grief and despair have shrouded the heads of Han Sui, Ma Wan, Zhang Heng, and Cheng Gongying like a layer of mist.
Cheng Gongying said calmly: "Yes, only by escaping while Jinmachao is busy attacking the city can we continue our army, and the lord will not be completely defeated by Jinmachao in this battle." As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, and don't be afraid of no firewood. After escaping, as long as the lord is still there and the main force of our army is generally not seriously damaged, we may not have a chance to make a comeback! ”
After hearing this, Han Sui raised his feet and walked a few steps, bypassed Cheng Gongying's side, walked behind him slowly, and sighed in the sky: "Alas! The old man was defeated again and again, and now he is defeated again. I don't know when I will be defeated! ”
Cheng Gongying turned around and walked to Han Sui's side and said, "There are only 10,000 horsemen of Yan Xing in Dunhuang County, and it is very likely that Yan Xing is still attacking other cities in Dunhuang County, and he doesn't know the situation here at all. Our army fled into the territory of Dunhuang County, and had a great chance of winning in the face of Yan Xing, and the lord may be able to continue to fight against Jinmachao based on Dunhuang County and Yumen Pass. And sooner or later, Huangfu Song will detect the movement of Jinma Chao, and our chance to make a comeback is at that time. ”
Han Sui sighed again, hesitated for a moment, turned around, and saw Cheng Gongying's resolute face.
Han Sui took Cheng Gongying's hand with satisfaction and said, "Boying, how fortunate the old man is to have you!" ”
Cheng Gongying was also moved, his eyes were hazy with tears, and he said, "My lord, ......"
Han Sui said to Zhang Heng and Ma Wan: "Just do what Bo Ying said, and order the whole army to escape from the north gate!" ”
"Yes!"
………………………………………………
As soon as Han Suijun escaped from Lufu City, as soon as he escaped from Sanli, Ma Chao led 20,000 horsemen to chase after him.
Seeing Ma Chaojun, who was chasing after him and could catch up at any time, Han Sui, Ma Wan, Zhang Heng, and Cheng Gongying all wanted to cry without tears. thought that he would be able to escape, but he didn't expect Ma Chao to see through their calculations again. Han Sui couldn't help but wonder, why could Jin Ma Chao think of what he thought every time and didn't even miss it once? Could it be that Jin Ma Chao is really a step ahead, is he really the nemesis of his life? In despair and disappointment, Han Sui couldn't help but redden.
And Ma Chao, who was chasing behind Han Suijun, didn't have so many negative emotions.
In front of them were the enemy troops fleeing in a panic and in a chaotic queue, and the enemy troops kept throwing down their weapons and flags in the process of fleeing, and dozens of enemy soldiers actually turned around and ran back to surrender to Ma Chao.
Ma Chao smiled. During the Battle of Caohan, he had no choice but to let Han Sui leave, and he watched as the opportunity to completely settle Xiliang's belonging slipped away from his palm little by little. Now, he finally has the opportunity to completely defeat Han Sui and fully occupy the entire territory of Liangzhou! And Han Sui, who was a very difficult opponent, would eventually surrender in front of him. For Ma Chao to come, there is nothing else in the world that can make him more satisfied!
Seeing this, Cheng Gongying gritted his teeth and said, "Lord, my subordinates ask for orders, and lead one to the rear!" ”
Han Sui said: "Boying, you are the old man's right-hand man, how can you go?" ”
"But ......"
"Don't be! Horse play, you are more familiar with marching and fighting than Bo Ying, you lead five thousand horsemen to break the queen! ”
Ma played with a fist: "Obey!" ”
After speaking, Ma Yu immediately drew five thousand horses, broke away from the chaotic and panicked Han Sui army formation, turned the war horse, and rushed towards the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which could already see the front army behind him.
Ma Chao saw that Han Suijun had separated from other departments to break off, and snorted coldly, he saw that the person rushing beside him was Cherrigie. Ma Chao said: "Cherrigi, lead the armor and cavalry equipment, and break the enemy's broken rear division for me!" ”
"Yes!"
Ma Chao knew that it would be difficult to catch up with Han Sui's main force if he did not destroy this broken other army first, so he ordered the army to stop the horse's hooves first, and let Cherrigi lead the armored cavalry to attack the enemy's other parts first. Ma Chao also wanted to take the opportunity to see how the combat power of the armored cavalry was when it was used in the competition with the light cavalry.
Under Ma Chao's order, 20,000 horsemen stopped their horses one after another, waited for the 5,000 troops led by Ma Play to rush over.
Ma Chaoyuan saw that the Ma Yujun was only three hundred steps away from the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, so he shouted: "Cheriji, attack!" ”
After hearing this, Cherrigi covered his armor, lifted his big axe, pointed at the enemy attacking in front of him, and roared: "Kill! ”
"Kill!" Five hundred armor cavalry mounted and fiercely charged at the enemy.
Each armor and cavalry is like a swarthy iron mountain, and it is even more unstoppable when it rushes!
Ma Yu also led his troops to meet him, he knew that the arrows were useless for the armor and cavalry, so he did not order the troops to shoot arrows, and directly waved the big knife and shouted: "Rush for me!" ”
The cavalry rushed fast, and the two armies immediately fought together.
Cherrigi was the first to rush into enemy formation, met by two enemy soldiers with spears. The two light cavalry of the Han Sui Army, each roaring, rushed quickly from the left and right sides of Cherrigi, and two spears pierced Cherrigi. Cherrigi sneered, simply opened his arms, and let the two enemy soldiers stab the spear. The two spears on the left and right immediately stabbed Cherrigi in the chest, but to the surprise of the two, they stabbed the spears with all their might. It couldn't pierce the armor on Cheriji's body, and one of the spears broke the blade because it was a little inferior!
Just when the two enemy soldiers were puzzled, "It's my turn!" With a loud roar, Cherrigi raised his axe and slashed to the left, immediately cutting off one of the enemy soldiers on the left from his horse, and cutting off his shoulder along the way, killing the enemy soldier on the spot and his body falling to the ground.
The enemy soldier on the right screamed in fright, Cherrigi drew his axe and slashed to the right, the enemy soldier hurriedly raised his spear to block, but he was still cut off the spear, and then his head was cut and died!
The same situation happened at the same time on the battlefield. The horses played very heroically against the armor and cavalry, but found that their weapons could only leave some dents in the armor at most, so that the armor and cavalry were slightly injured, but they could not break the armor. While they were unable to cut through or pierce the armor, the armor had already swung their weapons and killed them. As the part of the armor riding equipment and the horse play was hedged, there were a few unlucky ones who were directly knocked over by the armor riding equipment and were trampled to death by the heavy horses' hooves.
