Shu Chen

Chapter 352
The new wind roared past.

Withered grass and dust flew together, blurring the vision; the corners of the clothes and the banners fluttered, echoing the hot and fluttering in the chest.

The turn of autumn and winter in Liangzhou has always been dominated by the sound of horseshoes.

In the past, it was the officials who were greedy and despicable, so that countless Li and common people became thieves and gave birth to arrogance. Therefore, during the slack season when autumn was high and horses were fertile, they repeatedly plundered villages or passing caravans.

But now it is the frequent disturbances from the fine cavalry in Guanzhong of Wei State.

Counties and villages in Weiwu County have gradually become accustomed to the sound of horseshoes since mid-autumn.

Although the Han army ordered many soldiers to guard the roads in the counties and villages, so that Wei Guo rarely had the opportunity to break in, burn, kill and loot, but the Li Shu who remained in Wuwei County still inevitably felt precarious and panicked.

There were too few cavalry in the Han army, and it was impossible to restrain Wei cavalry from coming freely.

This was the consensus of all the Li Shus since the sound of horseshoes lasted for three months, and it was also the consensus of Fei Yao, Lieutenant General Xu Gai and his cavalry.

As a veteran general in the army, Fei Yao has always been very cautious even though he has an advantage in strength.

Whenever there is a disturbance, he divides the five thousand cavalry into two parts, the front and the back, and Xu Gai, the deputy, leads the two thousand cavalry to invade the various places. Or drive along the road to intercept and kill.

In fact, his scheduling like this works very well.

Although Xu Gai never encountered an ambush by the infantry against Shu, Jiang Wei, the rebel general, once tried to lure two thousand Qiang cavalry to intercept and kill him.

And not just once.

However, because he arrived in time as the supervisor cavalry behind, those Qiang cavalry did not dare to take the lead and fled in a hurry.

After several times, the cavalry of both sides had a certain tacit understanding.

For example, when Wei cavalry invaded the counties and villages in the eastern part of Wuwei, the Han and Qiang cavalry would always come to help under the warning of beacon fire soldiers along the way, but they did not charge forward, but only relied on Qianghu's riding and archery skills to drive and block them from the side. disturb.When Fei Yao's rear army arrived, he first sent a message to the rear infantry with Ming Di, then avoided it far away, and wandered about twenty miles away.The intention is obvious, if Wei Qi dares to continue to go deep, he will face the flanking attack of the Han army.

Such entanglement for several months made Fei Yao want to severely damage this Han cavalry.

Or in other words, he was a little moved by the repeated pleadings of the soldiers under his command.

It's not that he underestimated the enemy.

Since the three-legged rivalry in the world, Wei Guosu has been dominated by cavalry pawns.

The [-] Qiang cavalry of the Han army seemed to be quite powerful, but in a real confrontation, how could the strength of the Qiang people be compared to the Guanzhong elite cavalry composed of Han family sons?
Not to mention that Wei Qi has an absolute advantage in military strength.

Another consideration is that the purpose of Fei Yaobing's attack has been achieved by now.

Sima Yi ordered him to come to take charge, one is to let him protect the left and right of the Southern Huns and the Xianbei Tuoba tribe to enter Hexi smoothly, and the other is to disturb the livelihood of the people in Weiwu County, so that the Han army had to transfer troops from Longyou to garrison.

As for the follow-up Xiahou Confucian army to attack the city of Shuyin, that is not within his scope of authority.

After all, as far as their identities and experiences are concerned, Luoyang Temple will not allow him to restrain Xia Houru.
The most important point is that he recently received a letter from Liu Gaoshengyuan, the right wing of the Southern Huns.

Liu Gaoshengyuan and Tuoba Liwei have now lived in Yanze.

Because they did not move the old and weak, women and children together, but drove the cattle and sheep with the young and strong of the clan.

At the end of the year and the cold winter is approaching, the old and weak, women and children have become a burden instead, so they went to seize the ranch and divide the territory, and then sent people to move the rest of the tribe.

Furthermore, Juyanze and Mingsha Mountain are separated by a thousand (Han) li, and are cut across by the desert. If Wei Guo didn't leave their women and children behind, how could they believe that they would attack and invade Nishu as promised?Maybe, after they migrated to the new territory, without any ties, they would take the reward from the State of Wei to communicate with Nishu and agree not to offend each other!

Liu Gaoshengyuan sent people to complain.

When the two of them first arrived at Juyanze, they were suddenly killed from the side by the leader Ma Dai who had been there earlier.

Although the two tribes had a total of nearly [-] cavalry, they were suddenly attacked without any precautions, and they were still defeated for a while, losing more than [-] people to hold their ground.

And there is no chance of revenge.

When they got over their panic and saw that the attacking Han army had only [-] cavalry, they planned to encircle and kill the Han cavalry with superior force.

But how can Ma Dai give them a chance?

After a while of sudden success, he turned his horse's head and headed back.

Liu Gaoshengyuan and Tuoba Liwei didn't want to pursue them at first, but they couldn't stand the grievances of the young commanders and nobles of their respective tribes, so they let the young commanders and others spontaneously gallop and chase them away.

Afterwards, the young commanders of various ministries looked at the ocean and sighed in front of Juyan Fortress.

It is difficult for cavalry to attack fortifications.

Looking at the towering archery towers and the crenels with huge crossbows on the city fortress, if they didn't want to die, they had to return in dismay.

But no matter what, the two of them finally entered Juyanze as they wished.

Moreover, the Qianghu tribe who originally lived in Juyanze are now hard to find. I don’t know if they learned the news and thought they could not resist their annexation, so they moved away first; or they were persuaded by the Han army to hide. After going to Juyansai, I avoided the flames of war.

At that time, after Fei Yao got the report, he calmed down the messenger.

He also personally promised that he would report to Sima Yi, the governor of Yongliang, to compensate them for their losses.

But in fact, in his heart, he was extremely happy and hurt by the clansmen of Liu Gaoshengyuan and Tuoba Liwei.

He even felt a little regretful: Bi Nishu Ma Dai is a veteran general who has been famous for a long time, and the Xiliang iron cavalry was once famous in the world, but now they suddenly attacked and killed more than [-] cavalry, which is really too few.

Yes, he regretted that Wei's vassals suffered too little loss.

It's not that he upholds the idea of ​​"if you are not of my race, your heart must be different".

But the right part of the Southern Huns and the Tuoba tribe of Xianbei suffered a lot, which is more in line with Wei's interests-only when they are killed and injured by Ni Shu, will they turn into deadly enemies, and then firmly vassal Wei Guo to fight Ni Shu .

Anyway, there are so many Hulu tribes there, and if there are more than one or two thousand young and strong people killed or injured, it will not delay their invasion of Nishu!

hehe~~
The arrival of this news also made Fei Yao certain that the Ma Dai Department of the Han Army was not in Wuwei County.

That is to say, if he can severely injure Jiang Wei's two thousand Qiang cavalry, the Han army will no longer be able to stop him and Liu Bao's cavalry from the left of the Southern Huns from invading, and all counties and towns in Wuwei County can do whatever they want. !

With this in mind, he has recently asked Xu Gai, the deputy in command of the two thousand riders in the front, to try to charge forward with Jiang Wei, to see if there is a chance that he, who is hanging from the rear, will suddenly come from the flanks and kill Jiang Wei in one fell swoop. The heavy damage.

But Bina's traitor, Jiang Wei, has no courage!
Often the two armies staggered and fled as soon as they approached, leaving him with no time to turn around and attack from the side, alas
As everyone knows, Jiang Wei, whom he asserted that he has no courage, has been waiting for this moment for a long time.
