Chapter 216: Burning Sanfu

In front of the Wei soldiers were rows of antlers.

These antlers look very rough and are basically laid out with little processing. But even if it was rough, he did succeed in blocking the Wei army.

Ma Jian has a total of 2,000 people on hand, of which 1,000 people in the headquarters can more or less do a little bit of engineering under the long-term training. It's not much, but a little rough antlers is enough.

There were not many of these antlers, but they stopped in front of the Wei army and prevented the Wei army from continuing to advance.

The main reason for this is the gallop in Guanzhong.

Guo Huai and Chen Tai commanded 100,000 troops and stormed the front line of Chencang in Yongzhou. Among them, there are two grain transportation routes, one Weishui waterway and one Guanzhong Chi Road.

Because of the flow speed and capacity, Weishui cannot support large ships at all. Its transportation strength made it impossible for him to support the needs of an army of 100,000, so the main grain route of the Wei army was still Qin Chi Dao of Guanzhong Sanfu.

The ancient gallop is not the same as the modern one, and its core is two ruts.

Horse-drawn carts and ox-carts that transported grain basically had wheels in these two ruts. The carriage follows the ruts to ensure that it is not so bumpy and fast.

Over time, the ruts will get deeper and deeper, and gradually become like train tracks.

Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, and the reason why the ruts were unified was also for the construction of the road in the future.

The logistics of the 100,000 troops of the Wei army all relied on the transportation of this Qin Chi Road of Guanzhong Sanfu. From here, a large amount of grain and grass was quickly transported to the front line to supply the consumption of the army.

When the rows of antlers were placed in the middle of the road, they were covered with leaves and branches around the antlers. In a sense, this also blocks the route of the Chidao.

It was impossible for the Wei army to get around, because dragging the carriage out of the ruts was not a small task.

They had no choice but to move the antlers out of the way.

The Wei soldiers also knew and understood, and quickly sent people forward to try to remove the antlers.

The antlers are very bulky, and they will definitely not be able to move if there are fewer people. Then more than 100 armor soldiers and hundreds of people stepped forward, ready to push the antlers away.

However, at this moment, a whistle suddenly sounded from the side woods.

Before the Wei army could react, suddenly dozens of arrows with fire feathers suddenly shot out. The rocket landed directly near the antlers and ignited all the dead leaves piled up on the ground!

The fierce flames burned all at once, and the Minfu armor who walked up to carry the antlers was drowned in the fire before they could even run. For a while, the raging fire quickly and completely blocked Qin Chidao.

"Kill!!" Under the signal of the fire, the cavalry of the Shu army hidden on the flanks fiercely killed from both sides.

Under the light of the fire, the two thousand cavalry quickly attacked the Wei army under the leadership of Ma Tan.

The flames were soaring, the road ahead was blocked, and the Wei army suddenly had some riots. Especially the people in the team, they panicked all of a sudden.

"Shu people and ghosts help each other!"

"It's Vulcan! The Shu people invited the god of fire to come! ”

"I don't want to die!"

…………

"Let's die for you!" Armed with a spear, Ma Tan swooped out and stabbed to death one of the armorers in front with one shot.

Liu Yin followed closely behind, but instead of holding a knife in his hand, he replaced it with a bow and arrow.

He was just quietly following behind Ma Tan, protecting his safety where Ma Jian couldn't see. Any soldier who came close to Ma Tan would be killed by Liu Yin's next arrow.

Of course, these horses don't know, and he is rushing to kill with enthusiasm.

With their backs to the firelight, the Shu army fought out with a red banner, which put great psychological pressure on ordinary Qianshou. As soon as the two sides joined the battle, the people behind the Wei army ran out.

But at this moment, the armor soldiers of the Wei army guarding the grain and grass stood up.

More than 100 cavalry stood out from both sides, and quickly formed a formation with foot soldiers. Cao Wei's grain officer also commanded Qu to make a battle to prevent the Shu army from advancing suddenly.

Ma Yan's hand is really scary, and if it was replaced by Dongwu, he might have already run away.

But here in Guanzhong, the Qin soldiers in Guanzhong will not be frightened by this trick.

However, Ma Jian did not intend to scare them away with this trick, but quickly led troops to intersperse left and right. Wherever there are many warriors, the horses will rush forward.

And Ma Tan's buff is obviously not valid yet, and every time he encounters the Wei army, Ma Jian must be the first to break through the formation. And now he is followed by Liu Yin, a famous general in Shu, and after Ma Jian breaks through the local formation, the Shu army can tear apart the opponent's army formation to the maximum.

A thousand cavalry combined on both flanks and swept the Wei army back and forth three times.

But even so, the 3,000 Wei army was still not defeated. The general in charge of the escort was not cerebral palsy, and while sending people to ask for help, he contracted the defense line and prepared to continue to resist Ma Yan.

It is estimated that it is impossible to keep all the grain and grass, and it is better to give priority to protecting all the songs now.

The three thousand Wei troops shrank, and the remaining Shu cavalry, which had been waiting for a long time, came out from both ends. They took a large amount of grain from the grain carts abandoned by the Wei army, and then burned all the grain that could not be taken away.

Ma Tan's part is called a silky flow for this set of processes, and a set of flowing water is not a little sluggish.

After all, they are already very familiar......

The Wei army could only watch as the Shu army burned grain and grass, and then walked away. With the great god Ma Tan watching there, Wei Jun didn't dare to make any moves at all.

When the Shu army was far away, the generals who escorted the grain had no choice but to disperse their troops to extinguish the fire. But it was too late, half of the grain was reimbursed, and the road was blocked and they couldn't move on.

When the food team arrived at the front, it was estimated that it would be two or three days late, and it would lose so many ......

Such scenes began to happen constantly on all roads of Guanzhong Sanfu.

Antlers, piles of dead leaves, and traps hidden under the leaves......

Basically, as long as Ma Tan can think of a strategy, all of them have been staged in these places. Not only was the grain road of the Wei army impassable, but even the wealthy cars that passed through here had to be beaten by a mouthful.

For a time, the fire of Sanfu in Guanzhong was everywhere, and Ma Jian looted in Sanfu, causing a rumor here.

Guo Huai really guessed correctly, once Ma Jian made a fuss, it would definitely not be something that ordinary people could deal with.

There are few soldiers who can't fight, and there are too many soldiers to catch up.

Unless you send a large number of cavalry in pursuit, don't try to harass the horse. In particular, Ma Tan's soldiers and horses are all Xiliang horses produced by Longyou, which are stronger than the Guanzhong cavalry.

For a time, Sanfu's urgent letters were sent to Chang'an one after another, and the county guards and county orders from all over the country asked for help. Although Ma Tan did not burn farmland, the destruction of roads also caused them to panic.

However, these urgent letters were not sent to the General's Mansion, but were temporarily managed by General Changshi. And the Chang'an armies had no intention of going out to pursue Ma Tan at all.

For no other reason, mainly Cao Zhen, he suddenly became seriously ill when he returned from Meridian Valley.
