285 Unexpected Ma Chao
Qi County, that is, the Chaoge of Shang Tang, is no longer the prosperity of the capital of the Shang Dynasty, and it feels slightly dilapidated.
Zhao Yun led the vanguard army to join Zhang Xiu here.
However, Zhang Xiu only came here with a hundred horsemen, and the 30,000 army was commanded by Wei Yue, who was responsible for joining Lin Mo's Chinese army, and Zhang Xiu only came here to complete his duties as a vanguard deputy general.
Out of the city, it was all the way to the southwest, the speed was not too fast, and Zhao Yun was also very cautious.
The people and horses in Guanzhong are not good at attacking the city, nor are they good at defending the city, so they should choose a place in the wilderness to fight a bloody battle.
Lin Mo said this, and Jia Xu also said it.
In the Lu Lin Group, while the strategists all believed so, Zhao Yun was sure that these things would happen 100%.
And all the way here, you need to walk along the foot of Taihang Mountain, the mountains can ambush soldiers, Zhao Yun naturally can't go to survey everywhere, because then the time will be too slow.
But the speed of the march did not dare to be too fast, he let Zhang Xiu open the way in front, he sat in the Chinese army, and the full favor was the queen of the palace, as long as it was enough to ensure that the Dazhai was erected before the arrival of Lin Mo's Chinese army.
Slow down, it's not much of a problem.
Soon, the army marched to the border between Sizhou and Jizhou, that is, Huixian and Weihuicheng.
The terrain here is very suitable for ambushes, and although there are still post roads, there is still a width of more than 20 miles between the two cities for large armies to walk with.
The problem is that Huixian County is connected to the Taihang Mountains in the north, whether it is a mountain range or two cities, it can ambush troops.
So when they came here, the army had already slowed down as much as possible, and it was also in a battle formation.
As long as you pass through the passage between the two cities, you will be able to pass the vast plain of Pingchuan, which is theoretically the best battlefield for the decisive battle between the ten divisions of Guanzhong and their own side.
In fact, according to the scout's report, the situation was also as Zhao Yun guessed, and the ten men and horses had already set up two large camps a hundred miles ahead.
"If you're not here, you must want to wait for me to set up a village." After passing through the passage between the two cities, the army was not attacked in any way, so Zhang Xiu looked around strangely and came to this conclusion.
Zhang Xiu is known as the king of guns in the north, and he also rolled with his uncle in Guanzhong in the early years, and he is an authentic Liangzhou person, so whether it is the understanding of the ten departments in Guanzhong, or the cognition of the soldiers and horses of Xiliang, he has the same opinion as Lin Mo and Jia Xu, and is sure that they will not let go of this opportunity.
"I agree with my senior brother, so when we set up a village in the future, we need to be more careful."
After passing through Weihui City, and then entering fifty miles in the southwest, at this time, it is only a few dozen miles away from the camp of the ten departments in Guanzhong, and it can be set up camp.
Whether it was for the convenience of getting water, or for the environment of not camping in the wilderness and facing enemies on all sides, Zhao Yun went down to the village five miles north of the Wei River.
In this way, the center of gravity of the defense can be placed in the northwest direction, and at the same time, the terrain is higher and there is no risk of flooding during the rainy season.
This team, there are 8,000 Wuhuan cavalry, 12,000 foot soldiers, and the normal village is divided into three shifts, two of which rush to work day and night, and one class is the duty of the guard.
But this time it was different, after Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu, and Man Chong discussed, they unanimously agreed to let 8,000 people be responsible for setting up the village, 4,000 crossbowmen were ambushing, and 8,000 Wuhuan cavalry were responsible for the surrounding vigilance.
This kind of efficiency will be lower, but if you have two days, as long as you stick to it until tomorrow evening, Dazhai will rise.
In other words, tonight will be the most dangerous time.
As the sun waned, the night began to shroud the land, which also made the hearts of the soldiers more and more nervous.
I have always heard that the combat effectiveness of the ten people in Guanzhong is very strong, and they are extremely brave, even if they are as elite, they will inevitably have some heart palpitations.
In this regard, the calmness and self-confidence shown by the Wuhuan cavalry are stronger than those of the northern sergeants.
These people, under Zhao Yun's tutelage, have just learned some ways to play in formation, and they no longer seem to be as scattered as before, and the technique of combined attack is definitely not comparable to the army on the Central Plains, and even inferior to the soldiers and horses under Ma Teng.
However, the people of the three counties of Wuhuan have war conflicts with the armies of Han Ting, Xianbei and Gongsun Kang of Liaodong all the year round, and most of the people who grew up in that environment are brave and brave and very courageous.
In addition, after Badun was killed, Zhao Yun became their heaven and their spiritual leader, so it can be said that as long as Zhao Yun is here, they will not be able to mess up.
In March, it was warm and cold, especially after the hour, when the temperature plummeted to freezing, and the frozen people shivered, and the faces of the cold wind were painful.
"Why haven't you come yet?" Zhang Xiu looked a little cramped.
"As Senior Brother said, they will definitely not let go of this good opportunity."
The guardrail in the stockade had just been formed, and Zhao Yun, who was hiding in the scattered camp, looked at the darkness in the distance patiently, and said in a deep voice: "I think they also know that we are on guard, so they deliberately drag it out, so as to make the soldiers more and more tired." ”
"What General Zhao said is very true, this state of alert is a great loss to the soldiers, and I think those Wuhuan cavalry are a little restless." Full Pet also echoed and said.
When people are overly nervous, they can better stimulate the sharpness in the body, but long-term tension is a huge test for both mood and physical strength.
The later they come, the heavier the burden on the army.
Therefore, although it is an unknown bloody battle, everyone without exception hopes that they will appear soon.
The time of the child is over, and the time of ugliness is coming.
The soldiers tightened their clothes and gasped for air.
Hour after time.
Someone yawned and rubbed their sleepy eyes, and one by one they hid on the edge of the camp.
There was a bonfire not far away, but they couldn't go over to keep warm, and the damn Guanzhong Army didn't let people live.
In the end, it turned out to be the time of Mao, which can be said to be the most sleepy time for physiological people, and the soldiers who were tired all day could fall asleep standing up.
The team rate can only give them chicken blood over and over again, as soon as the sky is bright, the field of vision here is broad, even if they borrow a gall from the Guanzhong Army, they don't dare to come, hold on.
Before dawn broke, a cavalry team took advantage of the night, with people and horses wrapped in hooves, coming from the west and approaching the Lu army camp.
"It's almost time, why hasn't the young general arrived yet, it's almost dawn." Pound held the big knife in his hand, looking at the jumping bonfire in the camp in the distance, a little uneasy.
"Let's hope he's not lost." Yan Xing snorted coldly.
"Fuck you! When the major general took me out of Hexi, he even picked three Xiongnu tribes, and he knew where he was after driving hundreds of miles! ”
"Will you try to scold again?" Yan Xing tightened the spear in his hand.
"What are you doing! Are you going to fight in the nest before the war starts? As a candidate for commander-in-chief this time, he let out a low voice, and both sides shut up.
In fact, this is not to say how much disunity there is between them, the previous Liangdi, to the back of the Sanfu, are all Qiang and Hu mixed together, wars are frequent, people who grew up in this land, how kind their personalities are, there is no need to count on it.
But most of the time, when someone at the elder level speaks, they will be much more honest.
Zhao Yun's defense was already relatively good, facing the river in the south, there was no need to assign manpower, he concentrated the cavalry in the camp and also assigned 500 cavalry to the north and west for night patrol.
In this way, no matter which direction the people from the Guanzhong Ten Divisions came from, they would not be caught off guard.
After all, the camp of the people and horses in Guanzhong is indeed to the west of them, that is, the terrain here is open, and it is impossible to make a detour, and if you come to sneak attack, there must be no less than 10,000 horsemen, even if it is a human rank and a horse wrapped in hooves, it is impossible to be without movement.
Moreover, just in case, Zhao Yun deployed a sentry post almost a mile on the northern line, and equipped it with Kong Ming lanterns, which would be used when the enemy could not be notified in time.
It can be said that what should be done and what can be done, Zhao Yun did not miss one.
It's just that whether it is Zhao Yun, Zhang Xiu and Man Chong, they probably didn't expect that Ma Chao had actually laid an ambush on Taihang Mountain north of Huicheng a long time ago.
And, when they passed by, in fact, everything was in full view, but he did not act.
The purpose is to wait for this time to suddenly come out from behind.
As for the east gate, it is not completely empty, there are five hundred crossbowmen arranged here, all of them rely on the fence, and their task is to let them enter from the west and kill one through the east gate once the men and horses of the ten departments in the middle of the gate rob the camp.
Therefore, the center of gravity is actually in the stockade, but behind it.
"Like, there's a voice, is it coming?" A sergeant with a more sensitive ear straightened his head and looked into the camp.
"No, if you came, you would have heard the sound of trumpets and fights."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the sergeant's body straighten, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he looked down with difficulty to see that an arrow had penetrated his body from the back, and then he seemed to turn his head to see what was happening, but he couldn't do it anymore, and fell straight to the ground.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! The sergeant next to him yelled in fright.
Everyone turned their heads to look east, and saw a general dressed in silver armor, tied with a cloak, messy hair tied up by a golden brand, and holding a long tiger-headed golden spear rushing in front of them.
A little chill came first, and then the spear shot like a dragon, and the three crossbowmen side by side were covered with blood mist around their necks, and they didn't even have time to let out a groan of pain before they fell to the ground.
Honk~
In the end, it was the elite of a hundred battles, Ma Chao and three thousand cavalry suddenly came out from behind, which was really surprising, but someone still sounded the horn warning.
"What's going on, what's going on, what's going on?" Zhang Xiu, who was holding the tiger's head golden gun, quickly ran over to take a look, and the rear was already in chaos.
All the crossbowmen are deployed in the West Village and the North Village, the East Village is relatively empty, and as for Ma Chao who brought them in, it was like entering a no-man's land.
"Don't panic, senior brother, follow me to take a look!" Zhao Yun was in danger, jumped on the jade lion and threw the silver spear, and rushed towards the source of the sound.
Behind him, thousands of cavalry swarmed out of the camp, and ants gathered.
"Where is Zhao Yun! Where is Zhao Yun! Ma Chao was really brave, and after breaking through the Dongzhai with the cavalry, the cavalry behind him was divided into two teams, one team of 2,000 people went to Beizhai to kill, and the remaining 1,000 horsemen followed him all the way to the Chinese army.
Between the horses, he kept putting down the Lu Jun who was blocking in front of him, and when the spear came out, there was a burst of blood mist, and he was still shouting to cut Zhao Yun off the horse.
Perhaps, for a man like him who has never suffered a loss, it is really not challenging to break through this big village.
Because the direction in which the Liangzhou cavalry appeared was completely beyond everyone's expectations, and tired for a day and a night, when Cheng Yin rushed to Beizhai with two thousand cavalry, it was overwhelming and unstoppable.
Seeing the situation, Zhao Yun shouted: "Senior brother go to Beizhai, I will stop this fang!" ”
"Zilong beware!" After dropping this sentence, Zhang Xiu led a team of cavalry to kill Beizhai.
"Changshan Zhao Zilong is here, and those who stand in my way will die!"
Zhao Yun rushed over like an arrow, one man and one horse, and after going out to sea with a dragon, he finally saw the young man who was talking nonsense.
He was wielding his spear at a very fast speed, and he was unstoppable in the chaos of the army, and the Lu army in the vicinity was overturned by him one after another.
Looking at the other party's outfit, I don't dare to tell if he is Ma Chao, it is certain that he must be the general of the ten departments in Guanzhong, he has no less momentum, and he will stab with a gun.
In the face of the stabbing silver spear, the opponent pulled the spear out of the chest of a Lu Jun and kicked the barrel of the gun with his right leg, and the stressed tiger head Zhan golden spear sparked a burst of sparks with the bright silver spear from the bottom up.
At the moment of mistake, the two of them used their rifles almost at the same time.
Sonor!
In just one round, the two had the feeling of playing against each other.
Whether it was the opponent's speed, gun skills, or reactions, it made Zhao Yun feel tricky.
"You are Zhao Zilong from Changshan?"
Ma Chao looked at the man who was more handsome than himself, took back the spear with a kind of unhappiness, and said with a cruel smile: "Let me Ma Chao see if the first fierce general of the Lu Army is really as brave as the legend!" ”
After speaking, he clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and after a hissing of the flying sand, it shot out like a wind, and the jade lion seemed to feel that his master was being provoked, and also rushed over.
Two spears sparked in the void.
At the same time, the candidates outside the village had already seen the truth, and immediately rushed to the camp with Yan Xing and Pang De.
Originally, according to the predetermined plan, both Beizhai and Xizhai had deployed soldiers and horses, and each performed its own duties, just worried that they would attack at both ends.
But because Ma Chao came out from behind, many people began to be a little nervous to kill in the back to help, and the full favor was quite stable, and immediately stopped everyone, "Brothers, our task is to hold Xizhai, and the rest, we can only trust General Zhao!" All are not allowed to move, and those who violate the order will be killed! ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a horn sound outside the stockade, and Yan Xing and Pang De were as fast as they were fighting, turning into two white lines and rushing towards the west gate of the Lu army.
This is to make up for yesterday, today's update will be a little later
