Becoming stronger from cutting Hu and Cao Cao

Chapter 242 Guarding the Black Stone Pass

Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Beigong Boyu, the three largest warlords in Xiliang, annexed Wuwei, Mayi, and Liangcheng counties respectively.Although these three counties are not big, they have 10,000+ soldiers.

At this time, Cao Ren, who was heading north, had 20 people on the surface.But his family knew about his family affairs, so Cao Ren knew that he was just a strong outsider and a middle-aged man.Now Cao Ren's team is raising flags and bluffing.On the surface, there are 20 people, but in fact he only has more than [-] people.

Guo Jia's task for Cao Ren was not to fight Ma Teng head-on, but to defend Heishi Pass. Even if Heishi Pass could not be defended, Guo Jia allowed him to retreat to Fufeng area.If Cao Ren had retreated to Fufeng, then Ma Teng would not occupy Wuwei, Mayi, and Liangcheng in Wei, but a dozen or so counties north of Fufeng.

Cao Ren understood that Guo Jia was abandoning his car to save his handsome man.These counties from Fufeng to the north are one of the poorest counties in Wei State. Instead of bringing in any taxes every year, they need relief from time to time.

If these dozens of counties are lost at this time, it seems that Wei State has lost its territory on the surface, but in fact it is tantamount to throwing these burdens on Ma Teng.For Cao Ren, as long as Ma Teng and others are stopped north of Fufeng, it will be a victory.

Wuwei County, county government.

Ma Teng sat on the main seat, and Han Sui and Beigong Boyu sat on his left and right.Down below are the generals under the command of the three, such as Ma Teng, Ma Dai, Yan Xing and so on.

At this time, everyone's faces had a look of eagerness to try.The news of Cao Ren's arrival had reached Ma Teng's place. At this moment, everyone's faces were full of fighting intent.

Although Cao Ren brought 20 soldiers and horses, Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Beigong Boyu combined had 10,000+ troops.Although on the surface, Cao Ren has the advantage in terms of military strength.But one thing to understand is that Cao Ren's soldiers and horses are mainly infantry, while Ma Teng's soldiers and horses are mostly cavalry.

Ma Teng thought that since Cao Ren came with 20 troops.Then they are designated to take revenge, and then it must be a decisive battle head-on.In a head-on confrontation, there is no doubt that cavalry is far stronger than infantry. It is not an exaggeration to say that one cavalry can hand over three infantry.

"Everyone, Cao Ren, the general under the command of Cao Cao, king of Wei, has led an army of 20 towards us. It is only two or three days away from us. Let's talk freely and tell us about our countermeasures." Ma Tengchao asked everyone.

"Countermeasures, what countermeasures are there?"

"Soldiers come to fight, water comes to cover up, they come, let's follow up." Han Sui said first.

After Han Sui took over Mayi, he is still so proud now.Ma Teng, Han Sui, Beigong Boyu and the others are now making the three counties of Wuwei, Mayi, and Liangcheng the horns of each other.Cao Hong also thought so at the beginning, so Cao Hong transformed these three counties into military cities.Cao Jun hoarded a large amount of supplies, equipment, etc. in these three counties.

Therefore, after the three of Ma Teng and the others occupied these three counties, they obtained a large amount of military supplies, which also made the three of them a little swollen.Han Sui and the others thought that every city of Cao Jun had such supplies.Therefore, at this time they are full of fighting spirit and want to take down a few more cities and take advantage of them.

"That's right, Brother Han is right, they're here, let's just fight."

"We have set up a pocket formation early on. As long as Cao Ren dares to bring people in, we will encircle and wipe them all out." Beigong Boyu also echoed.

"Yes, hit."

"That's right, beat the fuck up. We Xiliang soldiers and horses, can we still be afraid of them?" A group of young generals also shouted.

Because of the continuous occupation of the three counties in Weidi, this time is the time when Xiliang soldiers and horses are in full swing.Especially these young generals from Xiliang, each one of them has a kind of arrogance of being the eldest, the second, and my third.

Just when everyone was in full swing, a partial general walked in and whispered a few words in Ma Teng's ear.

This person didn't know what he said in Ma Teng's ear, and as soon as he finished speaking, Ma Teng's face became tense, and his expression was a little ugly.

Everyone is a person who understands words and emotions. Seeing Ma Teng's face change, the originally noisy lobby became quiet in an instant.

Ma Teng frowned, glanced at everyone, and then said in a low tone: "The news just came from Heishi Pass. After Cao Ren arrived at Heishi Pass, he stopped moving forward. Instead, he joined forces with Cao Hong. Start to strengthen the Black Stone Pass, it seems that this is to defend the Black Stone Pass."

If Cao Ren simply didn't move forward after arriving at Heishi Pass, it could be explained that he wanted to rest at Heishi Pass and recuperate.However, Cao Ren has already begun to strengthen the Black Stone Pass. What does this mean? It shows that he has no intention of moving forward at all.

As soon as Cao Ren stopped at Heishiguan, Ma Teng was the one who was in a hurry.Why do you say that?Because if it's a field battle, it stands to reason that Ma Teng has a better chance of winning, but if it's a siege, then it's hard to say who has a better chance of winning.

"His Royal Highness Liang, I think Cao Jun's so-called 20 soldiers and horses are probably bluffing. Think about it, if there are really 20 soldiers and horses, then this person eats horse chews, and his daily consumption is one Huge loss."

"If Cao Jun really used 20 soldiers and horses, then it should be a decisive battle with us at speed. If we use 20 soldiers and horses to confront us, for a long time, this will consume Wei's own national power." Ma Teng The military adviser Cheng Gongying twirled his goatee and said slowly.

"The military adviser is right. Since Cao Ren is now guarding Heishi Pass, there is no need to bring 20 troops. Although Heishi Pass is not small, it is not big. 20 troops are more than enough to guard Hulao Pass, let alone Said that a small black stone is closed." Ma Teng said the same.

After this analysis, Cao Ren's so-called 20 soldiers must be a bluff, but now the question arises, since Cao Ren's 20 soldiers are a bluff, how many people does he have?

"Military Master, how many soldiers and horses do you think Cao Ren brought this time?" Ma Teng asked.

"King Liang, Wei State is surrounded by heroes and enemies are everywhere. Although the army has the most troops, there are also many enemies that need to be defended, so they must not bring too many people. Since they did not take the initiative to attack, but chose With the defense of Heishi Pass, I think the number of people should be around [-] to [-]."

"However, it's hard for me to estimate the exact number of people." Cheng Gongying, the military adviser, said to Ma Teng.
