Chapter 460 Ma Mengqi plans to meet the enemy

On the second day after arriving in Chang'an City, Cao Cao should have led his army to attack Fufeng County. Fufeng County is a city that Ma Teng and his son have been operating for many years, which can be said to be the nest of the Ma family army. However, due to the sudden change of the matter: Xiliangzhou Mu Han then asked Cao Cao to send an important person as an envoy to Xiliangzhou City to show Cao Cao's loyalty and cooperation. In this severe situation, this envoy is also a disguised hostage.

In order to cooperate with Sima Yi's arrival in Xiliangzhou, Cao Cao did not move for the time being. Four days later, Cao Cao estimated that Sima Yi had arrived in Liangzhou, so he led 200,000 troops to leave Chang'an City and set out to Fufeng County, a hundred miles away.

Let's talk about Ma Chao, who raised troops to rebel. Since the bad news that Ma Teng was killed by Cao Cao in the clothing edict incident spread to Liangzhou, Ma Chao gathered 100,000 soldiers angrily and announced to the world that he would wield troops to attack Chang'an City, point to Luoyang City, cut off Cao Cao's head, and avenge his unjustly dead father Ma Teng.

The hatred of killing a father and the hatred of taking a wife have been the hatred that men must bear since ancient times, and must revenge.

In the first month since the uprising, Ma Chao has cleared the hidden sentries in the Chang'an City warning area, various traps in the defense area, trenches, and other defense facilities. Unfortunately, the Xiliang soldiers are only good at field and position warfare, and siege warfare is their weakness and weakness. The fierce Xiliang soldiers are not afraid of the 15-meter-high wall of Chang'an City. Unfortunately, they do not have enough siege equipment, such as ladders, cloud carts, stone throwers and other siege equipment. Although Liangzhou has a vast territory, it is mostly Gobi, desert and grassland, and there is no large-scale forest at all. In this way, they do not have raw materials to make various siege equipment.

Just as Ma Chao was considering leading a large army from the northern desert area around Chang'an City and entering the hinterland of the Central Plains, Cao Cao led 200,000 troops into Chang'an City. Seeing that the enemy who killed his father was automatically sent to the door, Ma Chao gave up the idea of entering the hinterland of the Central Plains and was ready to fight with Cao Cao at any time.

On this day, Ma Chao and his fierce generals Pang De, Yang Qiu, Ma Xiu, Han Cheng and the counselor Li Ru discussed how to deal with the aggressive Cao Cao...

Ma Chao knelt down in the main seat with a cold face, and Pang De, Yang Qiu and others knelt down resolutely. The fierce generals Pang De and Yang Qiu are Ma Chao's hardcore friends, Ma Xiu is his cousin, Han Cheng is the younger brother of Han Sui, the pastor of Liangzhou, and Li Ru is the long history of Liangzhou.

Ma Chao was not angry and was powerful. He inspected the crowd with dignity, and then said in a low voice, "Gentlemen, according to the report of the detectives in front, Cao Cao has led 200,000 troops into Chang'an City... According to the current military situation, what good strategies do you have to deal with?"

After Pang De, Yang Qiu and others looked at each other, they focused on Li Ru in the long history. Leading troops to fight and charging into battle are their strengths. Before the war, they arrange troops and make suggestions, but they roll their staff and blow the fire - they don't know anything about it.

Making advice is the strength of Li Ru in Changshi. After nodding slightly to the generals, he said to Ma Chao, the general of Shenweitian, "Meng Qi, I know that you are eager to take revenge. Now Cao A, a dog thief, takes the initiative to send it to your door. You have to calm down and wait for us to come up with a perfect countermeasure..." Li Ru is the same generation as Ma Teng, so he can call Ma Chao directly.

When Ma Chao heard the words, the stiff lines of his handsome face suddenly eased. At this time, he did not know that his father had been rescued by Liu Wei, the leader of the evil spirit religion, and sent him to the territory of his brother-in-law Tai Shici. In order to keep it secret, Tai Shici and Ma Yunqi did not tell Ma Chao the news. Originally, Tai Shici also wanted to tell Ma Chao that Ma Teng was not dead through the silver sculpture, but under Guo Jia's persuasion, Tai Shici could only give up. Guo Jia's reason is that you can't disclose the news that Ma Teng is not dead to the outside world at this time, otherwise it will reveal many secrets of Tai Shici... Ma Chao needs to toss around in the current period, so that the outside world can be sure that Ma Teng was indeed killed by Cao Cao!

Ma Chao raised an army to rebel in Xiliang, and his father had become a resident and ate the Buddha with his beloved wife and concubine in Yunwu Palace. Being in Buddhism, my heart is also far away from the world... This is the current state of Ma Teng and his wife's transcendence!

Li Ru looked at Ma Chao's gradually soothing face and continued to say, "Meng Qi, in the battle of Chibi in the south of the Yangtze River, Sun Liu's allied forces defeated the invincible Cao Cao Cao, which greatly damaged him... Cao Cao fled back to Luoyang City. Under the coercion of our side, he forcibly launched a large-scale battle in the green and yellow season. It is foreseeable that Cao Jun's morale is definitely not high! Compared with that, our morale is not only high, but also has the advantage of waiting for work! ...If Cao Mengde dares to attack Fufeng County, then how can Cao's army be the opponent of the heroic Xiliang Iron Horse when fighting in an open place? His 200,000 army is not enough for us to stuff our teeth..."

Everyone listened to Li Ru's argument and got excited one by one. Li Ru felt that everyone's emotions were mobilized by his own words, and his voice increased and said, "Meng Qi, at this time, the two super fierce generals Xu Huang and Zhang Xiu led by Cao Aqian, they are not your opponents... If we plan properly, we will be able to defeat Cao Jun in one fell swoop and leave Cao Cao under Fufeng County..."

Ma Chao and everyone looked at Li Ru with warm eyes and nodded one after another to agree with Li Ru's statement. Then, Li Ru stood up, walked to the military map behind Ma Chao, and explained his plan to everyone...

Let's talk about Cao Cao's side. Cao Cao led a 200,000 army and stretched on the official road like a long dragon. It was really like a forest of swords. He couldn't go to the end, and he couldn't see the end. The vanguard was Zhang Xiu, the king of guns in the north, and Xu Huang, a super general, was broken, and Cao Cao was in the middle army. In this Western Expedition to Liangzhou, Cao Cao also brought his two sons, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, into the army: Cao Cao's approach is to take the opportunity to exercise the actual combat ability of his two sons, and let the two sons increase their knowledge through the baptism of blood and fire. At the same time, Cao Cao also took the opportunity to investigate the practical ability of his two sons, so as to determine a better successor. !

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi naturally knew the thoughts of their father Cao Cao. From Luoyang City, they worked extremely hard: Cao Pi was responsible for escorting the attack equipment, while Cao Zhi was responsible for escorting food, grass and other strategic materials. Among the 200,000 troops, the team led by the two of them is the most heroic, the ranks are the most neat, and the morale of the soldiers is the highest! The two sons are the main generals. They lead by example and take the lead. Which of each of them dares to slack off? Every general is a positive performance...

In the early stage of Cao Cao's march, all the way was unimpeded. Just halfway through the march, the vanguard force of the Cao army was harassed by the Xiliang iron cavalry: almost every mountain forest, every mountain pass, nearly a thousand Xiliang iron cavalry rushed into the front army of the Cao army regardless of life and death. Almost every Xiliang iron cavalry killed at least four Cao soldiers, and was killed by the Cao army. !

Zhang Xiu, the striker general, is really unbearable. As a result, the marching speed of the striker's army has slowed down significantly, and in the end, they also affected the marching speed of the army behind. However, in the face of the suicide attack of the fierce Xiliang iron cavalry, Zhang Xiu was also in a hurry. Zhang Xiu is extremely familiar with the tough fighting style of Xiliang Iron Cavalry: as long as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry attacks the enemy with the goal of death, even the gods can't stop it! No matter how strong their opponents are or how many they are!

After several suicide attacks by the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Cao's forward army lost more than 10,000. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the forward army, Cao Cao can only mobilize the mobile army to supplement the attenuation of the forward army. Finally, as a last resort, in order to ensure the speed of the march, Cao Cao transferred Xu Huang to the forward force to resist the harassment of a small group of Xiliang iron cavalry at any time.

The two super generals acted as strikers, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry did not dare to harass them at will, but they gallop back and forth under Zhang Xiu and Xu Huang's eyes hundreds of meters away. Zhang Xiu or Xu Huang led the troops to chase, and those Xiliang Iron Cavalryes ran away far away... Zhang Xiu and Xu Huang were angry. It's itchy.

In this way, Cao's three-way army marched slowly. An hour later, Cao Pi's responsible siege equipment force was also attacked by Xiliang ambushes in a mountain forest area. At that time, Cao Pi was riding on a BMW, and there were four tall tiger guards behind him. These four guards were all Ju Yi's soldiers, practicing the horizontal kung fu of iron cloth shirt and golden bell cover. Behind Cao Pi's predecessor was a convoy of siege equipment stretching for thousands of meters.

The first time he came to Liangzhou, Cao Pi was attracted by the unique exotic scenery. He looked at this side and there for a moment like a countryman entering the city. He doesn't look like he came to war. He is simply a tourist.

Just as Cao Pi was infinitely comfortable, hundreds of Xiliang soldiers suddenly emerged from the grass on the two sides of the official road. These Xiliang soldiers were all in strong clothes and holding short knives. They were not in a hurry to attack nearly 10,000 Cao's army. First, they threw sheepskin bags into the Cao's army. The sheepskin bags fell on all kinds of siege equipment as accurately as eyes. After throwing the sheepskin bag, the Xiliang soldiers waved their knives and rushed to the Cao army.

At this time, the Cao soldiers who guarded the siege equipment had already set up a defensive formation. The Xiliang generals, who were used to shouting, didn't fart at this time. They just bit their cheeks and rushed away like the crushing Cao Jun formation. In the blink of an eye, they fought hand-to-hand with Cao's soldiers and fought fiercely.

Even if Cao's soldiers and soldiers are well trained, their combat effectiveness is still slightly inferior to that of Xiliang's soldiers. Even if they were stronger than their opponents, the Xiliang soldiers who later caught up did not help their companions kill Cao soldiers. They pulled out the crossbow from behind as they ran, and then lit the oilcloth tied to the arrow arrow with flint. Then, they ran behind their companions who were fighting, and suddenly got up, buckled the motivation at the highest point, and shot a crossbow at the siege equipment.

The burning crossbow accurately shot at the sheepskin bag that had previously fallen on various instruments, and instantly ignited the sheepskin bag. When the sheepskin bag was burning, black ** flowed from the pier. Wherever the black ** flowed, there was a fire. Soon, the Cao soldiers and soldiers did not turn back. When he came over, the siege equipment ignited a raging fire. At this time, it was too late for Cao Jun and soldiers to put out the fire...
