Xiaoguangong

Chapter 243 A Flock of Insects

Chang Diao did not guess wrong at all.

Ma Chao and Han Sui are old guys who have experienced many battles. Although they were frightened by Zhao Yan's toughness before, they gradually came to their senses.

Cao Jun obviously had an absolute advantage, and they obviously didn't have to discuss anything with themselves, and then began to cross the river to launch an attack.

But Cao Jun is clearly on the defensive now.

Prime Minister Cao has never been a person who cherishes military strength. It is freezing cold, and every day he stays, the consumption of food and grass will increase dramatically.

Cao Cao couldn't have come thousands of miles just to confront the Guanzhong coalition forces that had obviously been hit hard in Weishui.

Then he might as well come back next spring...

After a few days of stalemate, Ma Dai reported angrily, saying that a large number of Cao's troops were crossing from the Yellow River east, and there were obvious signs of retreating.

Ma Chao was overjoyed, and immediately asked to cross the Weishui River to launch an attack, trying to use the relatively closed area formed by the Weishui River and the Yellow River to deal a heavy blow to Cao Jun's rear troops.

But Ma Chao's prestige has been severely damaged after defeating Ma Chao many times before. He tried his best to describe the bright future after crossing the river to the generals of the company, but this time all the generals of the coalition army are all bullshit and generally don't give Ma Chao any face. Instead, they all turned their eyes to Han Sui.

Han Sui thought for a moment, shook his head and said:
"Cao thief has always been scheming, this time... I don't know if it is his trick."

Ma Chao was angry and anxious, and said loudly:
"I am willing to personally lead an army across the river to find out the real situation of Cao Jun. I must not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"If you want to go to Meng Qi, go by yourself." Han Sui expressed his dissatisfaction with Ma Chao's mindless behavior.

He had been frustrated one after another before, and he had already thought of retreating to Liangzhou, and he would never use troops rashly.

If this is Cao Cao's trick, he will die if he crosses the river rashly.If Cao Cao really retreats, it means that there must be something wrong with Cao Cao's rear, and it will be difficult to control these people in Guanzhong for a while.

As we all know, when Cao Cao had no time to manage Guanzhong, Ma Teng and his son were always Han Sui's biggest enemies, and he was even more unwilling to spend his troops and take risks to prevent being annexed by Ma Chao.

Hmph, if Cao Cao really escapes, I will immediately go to Chang'an City and talk about Jiangyun Mountain.

Ma Mengqi is brave but not resourceful, this battle has completely demoralized the army, it is time for me to completely annihilate and annex them in one go, and sit on one side to achieve great things.

At that time, I will be stronger than Sun Liu, so why can't I be the master of the world?
A pure warrior like Ma Chao didn't understand Han Sui's thoughts at all. He knew that the strategic position of Weibei area was extremely important. If he could hurt Cao Jun, he would be able to restore his previous reputation and status.

He doesn't have much ambition, but honor is his life.

Now that Cao Jun is obviously retreating, Ma Chao needs a battle to regain everything that belongs to him.

But he didn't realize at all that the loss of soldiers and generals caused by his previous blind command had seriously affected the fighting will of the gentry in the army.

Hearing that they were going to cross the river again, they subconsciously felt that something was wrong, and Fenfen begged the general not to join the battle.

Pang De knew that Ma Chao was now in charge, and ten cows could not bring back what he had decided, so he could only find Ma Dai to discuss countermeasures with him.

Ma Dai was not known for his resourcefulness, and the two were in a dilemma. After a long time, Ma Dai slapped his head helplessly.

"I, oh, let me go."

"Ok?"

"I tried my best to encounter an ambush, and tried to go to the opposite bank to capture a few soldiers of Cao Jun and come back to investigate a little bit.

If the thief Cao has really retreated, then I will risk my life to cross the river and kill these thieves viciously.

If Cao thief hadn't retreated, only Ma Dai would be hurt. "

Pound widened his eyes and nodded slowly:
"Alright."

Having said that, Pound couldn't help feeling a burst of sadness.

He became famous when he was young, and he has been fighting with Ma Chao in the army. He once made great contributions to Yuan Shang's battle, and people all over the world gradually know Pang De's name.

Pound is also eager to make some achievements, but he can make achievements, and he needs to follow the Ming Lord.He originally thought that Ma Chao became famous at a young age, won the trust of Qiang Hu, and would be able to do great things in the future.

But Ma Chao is too impatient and conceited, brave and foolhardy, he is definitely a good player in dashing and fighting, but it seems that the upper limit of this person can only be a fierce general who traps and kills the enemy.

Ma Dai took advantage of the night to cross the river. Cao Jun only arranged a small number of camps by the river because someone was really not good at commanding the army. Most of the guards were around the main camp. After crossing over, with the horses, Ma Dai immediately rose to the top of the battle. Originally, he only wanted to capture a few soldiers of Cao Jun, and he began to try to attack several strongholds.

Cao Jun was caught off guard and could only call for reinforcements again and again. Ma Dai calmly commanded the cavalry and defeated Cao Jun's cavalry, which was already a small number, one by one, and soon occupied the north of the Weishui River.

Ma Chao was overjoyed and immediately sent a large number of soldiers across the Wei River. When Han Sui woke up, Ma Chao's soldiers were already on both sides of the Wei River.

"Tell Dudu Han that if he doesn't want to come, then don't come, and watch me kill them all."

Ma Chao, who had been acting with his tail between his legs for the past few days, finally let out a long sigh of resentment in his chest, and the letter he left to Han Sui returned to his former arrogance.

He judged that Cao's army hastily retreated and the remaining army would not be able to transport a large amount of food for a while, and it would be difficult for camels and horses to cross the river for a while. As long as he defeated Cao's army, his subordinates would be able to plunder wantonly and quickly restore morale and reputation.

Weibei is already close to the territory of the Qiang and Hu. As long as there are enough robs, Ma Chao can quickly recruit a large number of Qiang and Hu soldiers. When the time comes, let's see who dares to look down on me, Ma Chao?

All the generals in Guanzhong were stupefied. They couldn't believe that Ma Chao's crossing of the river was so smooth. What was Cao Jun's rear general doing?

Good guy, is there such a war?
Cao Jun was originally forced to leave a large number of soldiers and horses to retreat in an orderly manner because there were few ferries, the Yellow River froze in winter, and his side had too much luggage.

But Ma Chao's subordinates reported triumphantly that they heard that Ma Chao's army had already crossed the river, and Cao's army actually began to quickly retreat to the Yellow River, completely abandoning the Weishui defense line——

But any individual knows the truth of half-crossing. Before all the cavalry of the Liangzhou army landed, even organizing a wave of death squads to fight to the death was better than letting the Xiliang army cross all their horses to surround and slaughter them.

"Okay, so it turns out that Cao Ren is in the rear!" Li Kan heard the news of Cao Jun's defender from the captured Cao Jun soldiers, and slapped his thigh in distress, feeling that this time it was really a big loss.

Although Cao Ren and Xia Houyuan are well-known, they are simply synonymous with cowards in the eyes of the Guanzhong Allied Forces.

Before they were sitting on a large army, in order not to be surrounded, they easily gave up Chang'an.It should be a very reasonable explanation to rush to escape from Weibei now.

Ma Wanchengyi and others who were exchanged felt that they had lost their grandma's house.

They came out in the middle of winter and didn't grab anything. They were worried that Cao Jun's generals would be strong, and they were afraid of losing their own troops. They would rather not make money than lose.

But now that it was confirmed that General Cao Jun was Cao Ren, that cowardly guy, they immediately forgot their little calculations, and instead complained that it was Han Sui who stopped them from going out.

"Captain Han, why don't you have a good talk with General Ma?
We raised troops this time to fight against the Cao thieves for the common people in Guanzhong. Before that, it was just to discuss the military affairs. There was a little delay, and we didn't say clearly that we would not send troops. General Ma misunderstood it! "

"Yeah, it's not that we're afraid of Ma Mengqi, but we're afraid that it's a crucial battle. If we don't go to Mengqi, what will happen? Isn't it hurtful?"

"Yes, Dudu Han should write a letter to persuade Meng Qi."

Han Sui felt severe pain from the clownish heads of his subordinates jumping sideways.

How can you achieve great things with a group of insects?

Although he really wanted to kill these people, Han Sui also knew that his soldiers were all predatory. If he let them see Ma Mengqi, he would return with a small loss but a full reward, and he would have to turn his face against him.

In desperation, Han Sui had no choice but to personally write a letter to Ma Chao, admitting that he had misjudged the situation, and hoped that Ma Chao would allow the Guanzhong Allied Forces to cross the river together, and everyone would attack the Cao bandits together.

Who in the world would want to miss the opportunity to beat a dog in the water?

.

Hao Zhao's head hurts every day these days.

It can't be said that Chang Diao's marching formation is completely incapable, but he is not bad at leading 5000 people, and he can't command any more.

Among other things, there are as many as 300 soldiers behind them. If they choose to line up on the north bank of the Wei River and see Ma Chao crossing the river, they will be hit head-on. No matter what, Ma Dai's troops of less than [-] people will not be able to succeed. Cross the river, and dare to attack immediately.

The arrangement of Chang Diao's troops was already very stupid. What was even more stupid was that after he heard that Ma Chao's army had landed, he completely ignored Zhugeqian's request to recapture the Weishui defense line.

Well, it is commonly known as the Backwater Formation...

Good guy, back then the Marquis of Huaiyin lined up to boost morale and fight to the death, but now they lined up to escape...

When you run away, the enemy will attack immediately, and the army that stays on the shore will definitely be in chaos.

Cao Cao was worried that the rebel army would grow rapidly after receiving a large amount of rations, cattle and horses, so he left Chang Diao to guard, but now it's better...

What a fart this battle is, Hao Zhao can't swim at all, even if he can swim, he doesn't have the confidence to swim across the icy and frozen Yellow River.

"General, advise Chang Junshi." Hao Zhao almost cried, "I don't regret my death. But I don't want to die in the Yellow River so uselessly. If Chang Junshi doesn't want to take back my life, I'm willing to lead my unit to fight to the death. Fight Ma Chao."

Although Zhugeqian was a loyal fan of Chang Diao, he still felt that Chang Diao had gone too far this time.

He could clearly see the panic, panic and hesitation on Chang Junshi's face.

Obviously, Chang Junshi has panicked, and now he is starting to command blindly.

It's about his own life, Zhuge Qian nodded quickly:
"Okay, I will try my best to convince Chang Junshi."
