The Qianghu people were not the Xiongnu Wuhuan of the north, and their skills were too poor to make proper bows and arrows, so they were not good at riding and archery.

But the Qianghu people also have their own way of playing, that is, javelin throwing.

In the Longyou Qianghu tribe, most of the cavalry is in front of the infantry in every battle, throwing a round of javelins first, and then charging together on foot.

This style of play brought a lot of trouble to Cao Jun when Ma Chao was rampant in Longyou.

And these Qianghu cavalry recruited by Ma Tan are basically all very good at throwing. As they rushed closer, they simultaneously took out their javelins and threw them at the Wei army.

The javelin easily passed the shieldmen's defenses in front and landed straight into the unshielded army formation behind. A wave of javelins was thrown, and the Wei army screamed loudly, and dozens of soldiers were shot to the end.

The javelin has the advantage that it is not much slower than a bow and arrow, and it is more powerful than an arrow. When the cavalry burst forward, the Qianghu cavalry threw at least four rounds of javelins, and a large number of Wei soldiers fell to the ground with guns.

"Kill!!" Ma Tan took the lead and directly rushed into the military formation, and the momentum was not at all something that the Wei soldiers could resist.

Before the Wei soldiers surrounded him, the Qianghu guards behind followed in and slashed at the Wei soldiers.

With just one charge, the Wei army was crushed, and the soldiers scattered and fled without the will to fight. Ma Jian didn't even have time to turn around and rush again, and the Wei army had no formation to speak of.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Ma Tan killed the Wei soldiers who were escorting the grain and seized this large amount of military rations.

"General, burn or transport it back?" Shu Ji looked at this cart of grain, his eyes were full of envy.

So much food, enough for the Dongqiang tribe to eat for a long time.

"Of course it's burned, we don't have time or manpower to transport it away." Ma Tan shook his head, although he was quite reluctant, but he still reluctantly ordered the fire.

He has a thousand people in total, and it is too far to transport it back. It won't be long before the news of his grain robbery will be known to Hao Zhao, and he will definitely send someone to rescue.

There is no way, but to burn it.

Soon, dozens of truckloads of grain burned, and the raging fire quickly consumed these precious grains.

By the time Wang Shuang arrived, Ma Tan had already led the troops away, leaving him with only a grain cart that was about to burn to ashes.

"! Shu dog is really a despicable villain! Don't dare to fight Chen Cang and plunder our grain!! Wang Shuang jumped to his feet angrily, eager to kill Ma Jian immediately.

It's a pity that Ma Jian has long been gone, and he can't kill him if he wants to.

In desperation, Wang Shuang could only lead his troops back to Chencang and tell Hao Zhao the news that the grain was burned.

"Those Shu dogs are so cunning that they actually took the opportunity to rob our grain!" Wang Shuang kept scolding and scolding when he returned to Chencang, constantly greeting Shu Han and Ma Yan's parents.

"This is not easy to do......" Hao Zhao was not so angry, he felt more of a huge pressure.

"It seems that the Shu people don't plan to continue to fight with us in Chencang, and instead attack our grain route."

The military rations needed by Chencang were basically transferred by Yongxian County and sent to Chencang across the Huangshui. If the Shu army was stuck in the place east of Huangshui and Chencang, Hao Zhao really had no choice.

Once the grain channel is cut off, it is useless for him Hao Zhao to repair Chen Cang higher than the sky.

"What should I really do? Shall we let them plunder like this? Wang Shuang said angrily, he was very unhappy about this.

"Otherwise, I will personally lead the troops to escort the grain and grass, if that group of Shu dogs dares to come, I will personally behead its commander under the horse!"

A group of barbarians who came out of the mountains dared to rob the baggage of Great Wei, it was really tired and crooked.

"Don't think about it, you can't stop them." Hao Zhao shook his head lightly and said lightly,

"Ma Jian commanded all the Qianghu cavalry recruited from Longyou on the spot, each coming and going like the wind, and they were good at looting and setting fire. Even if you personally lead the troops, they can still remotely release rockets and burn them down. ”

"They're all cavalry, and you can't catch up if you want to."

"Then it's good that I went to Guo Yongzhou to come to the cavalry, just like I don't have cavalry in Dawei." Wang Shuang was very dissatisfied and said directly.

"The loss of the escort is huge, and this is not a long-term solution." Hao Zhao immediately vetoed it, and he also knew about the situation in Yongzhou.

was already poor, but now he has lost the entire Longyou. Now it is not easy to supply him with enough grain for 10,000 soldiers and horses, and if this continues, Yongzhou will go bankrupt.

"So what to do? You decide, I'm here to help. Wang Shuang sat down helplessly, slapped the table fiercely and said.

"I can only ask Guo Yongzhou to go to Weishui to transport grain to us, he is full of Qiang people, and he should not know the nature of water." Hao Zhao shook his head, looking at the map and feeling a little headache.

This Ma Tan is really a dog skin plaster, no matter how you do it, you can put it on it and disgust you.

However, this made Hao Zhao even more vigilant, because there were not many places behind Chen Cang suitable for guerrillas. Ma Tan has to bring cavalry to attack and harass, I am afraid that the large army of Shu is not far away.

This repair work has to be done quickly, in case the main force of the Shu army comes and the repair is not completed, I am afraid that the matter will be big.

"Starting today, the renovation of Chen Cangcheng will be changed from three shifts to two shifts, each shift will work for six hours." Hao Zhao thought for a while, and finally made up his mind.

"I heard that Zhuge Liang has returned to Hanzhong from Longyou, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the Shu army will come from Shudao. We have to hurry, even if the soldiers are a little tired, there is nothing we can do. ”

"As for the Shu cavalry that came over, I have my own way to deal with them!"

…………

In the following month, Ma Tan and his cavalry began to attack frantically behind him. Successively intercepted and killed the Wei army's baggage, and set fire to the passing grain and straw.

During this period, the Wei army in the direction of Chencang sent soldiers to respond, but because there were not many responding troops, they were also washed away by Ma Tan.

After trying many times and finding that the land grain could not be avoided by Ma Yan, Guo Huai could only choose to take the waterway.

The Weishui water near Chencang is relatively turbulent, and it is dangerous to go downstream, let alone upstream. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't avoid Ma Yan, Guo Huai was not very willing to take the waterway.

The Wei army's baggage was replaced by water transportation, directly bypassing Ma Tan's base area. When Ma Tan saw the grain ship sailing on the Wei River, he immediately understood Wei Jun's thoughts.

"Well, to avoid me, you actually took the waterway?" Ma Tan touched his chin and squinted at the Wei ships moving through the turbulence.

It seems that the chance of death in water battles is higher?

"General, what are we going to do? Just retreat? Shu Ji looked at the boats in the water and felt a little helpless.

"They're on the waterway, and we can't reach it."

"What are you afraid of! They'll take a boat, won't we! Ma Tan suddenly opened his eyes, and his tone was full of unquestionable.

"Find a place to build a ship according to my method, and let's find a way to have a bite with them!"
