Chapter 489 Ma Chao harassed the grain delivery team
For several months, Jiangdong Group has been calm and has no other waves except for the disturbance of Ling Tong's assassination of Ganning. The society and politics of Jiangdong. Economic and other aspects are proceeding in a stable and orderly manner.
Of course, the family life of King Wu Taishici can be described as magnificent and shocking as Mars hitting the earth. Cao Cao and Liu Bei, the other two hegemons in the world, have no time to enjoy the joy of family. They will only fight fiercely on the battlefield. Their scale and scene are also magnificent: the two sides of the battle are divided into two parts, one is the battlefield of Runan City, and the other is the battlefield of Fufeng County.
In the two battlefields, Cao Cao's side is an offensive posture, while Liu Bei's side is a defensive posture, occasionally counterattacking in the dripping defense. The situation on the battlefield of Runan City: The two sides of the battle basically drew. Because Cao Zhang, the Cao army had a magic archer, Cao's army had a slight advantage. The three generals, Daxiahou, Cao Ren and Cao Zhang, basically suppressed the enemy generals Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the city.
With the superb martial arts skills of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, they can completely defeat Daxiahou and Cao Ren, but the archer Cao Zhang made them afraid. Shadowless arrows are not easy to resist. It's unpreventable. In the end, they can only rely on the city to compete with 100,000 Cao troops.
And on the battlefield of Fufeng County: Every day, Liu Bei's side can send super fierce generals to fight against Cao Cao Cao's side. Even if his number of soldiers is far less than Cao Cao's, his super fierce generals are much more powerful than Cao Cao's side. In particular, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, the local super warriors in Yizhou, were also reused by Liu Bei. In terms of the number and quality of fierce generals, Liu Bei is not inferior to Cao Cao.
In the battlefield of Fufeng County, the two sides of the battle were divided equally. It's the same.
In the past, the criminals can actually compete with themselves today. The more Cao Cao thinks about it, the more depressed he is. Cao Cao was depressed, but not impatient, because the chief sergeant Sima Yi had given him a preventive vaccine in advance: attacking Liu Bei was destined to be a protracted battle, and this protracted battle was destined to be difficult to win or lose in a short time. The significance of the protracted battle with almost no result is: with the strategy of self-injurying eight hundred and hurting a thousand enemies, it consumes the energy and various resources of Liu Bei's side, which is rising strongly, so that it can't grow comfortably. If it is allowed to grow and develop, it will make Cao Cao more difficult to deal with in the future...
Therefore, when Liu Bei's side wiped out the evil forces in Yizhou, Cao Cao couldn't wait to launch a war against Liu Bei. Over the past few months, the super fierce generals of Liu Bei's side, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Liao Hua, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan, took turns to fight against Xu Zhu and Xu Huang on Cao Cao's side. Le Jin, Yu Jin, Pang De, Zhang Ao. Ju Yi and other super generals.
Of course, Zhao Yun can fight against two. None of the Cao generals is his opponent. In the battle of Fufeng County, the victory or defeat of the two sides is unknown, but Zhao Yun's bravery has become famous all over the world since then. Because Liu Bei's Huang Zhong is a divine archer, he can naturally fight against two with one. However, Cao Cao's side has an immortal general like Ju Yi, and Ju Yi can also rely on copper veins and iron bones to fight against Huang Zhong with one person.
Due to the disparity in martial arts skills, Ju Yi is also unable to fight against Zhao Yun with the power of one person. The result is self-evident: only the part of being abused!
Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu did not appear on the battlefield of Fufeng County, indicating that they were responsible for dealing with Xiliang's fierce general Ma Chao. For several months, Ma Chao has led 20,000 iron cavalry to hide in the mountains and forests, harassing Cao Cao's grain transportation team or Cao Cao's base camp at every opportunity. Xia Houyuan, who was responsible for escorting grain and fodder, was not Ma Chao's opponent at all, so that he escorted grain and fodder ten times and was successfully robbed by Ma Chao six times. The success of the four smooth grains and fodder still depends on the timely appearance of Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu.
According to the characteristics of Ma Chao's martial arts skills, Sima Yi suggested to Cao Cao: transfer Zhang Liao from Xiaoyaojin to the front-line battlefield, and Zhang Liao will fight against Ma Chao. Because Sima Yi judged that among all the tiger generals on Cao Cao's side, only Zhang Liao's martial arts skills and Ma Chao's "six-in-one shooting" confrontation, especially Zhang Liao's Baihua armor and Shenbing Fang Tianhua halberd, which are also higher than the quality of Ma Chao's weapons and equipment.
Fighting with Ma Chao four times, Zhang Liao can actually fight against Ma Chao with a thousand moves with the power of one person: Ma Chao's six-in-one shooting method has the effect of imprisoning people's action and can close the opponent's activity space, but Zhang Liao's shooting method "lie feng18" has the effect of superimposing energy. The so-called energy superposition is the ability of the previous move. The amount of energy will stay with Zhang Liao and will not disappear with the completion of the move. The stranded move energy can naturally break the space confinement of the six-in-way shooting, and at the same time make Zhang Liao's next move more powerful and domineering.
Zhang Liao's magic soldier Fang Tianhua halberd is of higher quality than Ma Chao's Sirius gun. If the two weapons hit Ma Chao's Sirius gun, it will be damaged. In order to prevent every collision of weapons, Ma Chao can only slow down the attack speed and fight with Zhang Liao.
Ma Chao also wanted to attack Zhang Liao with the help of the stunt "whip in the gun", but his intuition told him that he could not hurt Zhang Liao with the unique move, but could only defeat him. Because Ma Chao felt that Zhang Liao's Baihua armor had super defensive ability, and Baihua armor was the unique armor of Lv Bu, Marquis Wen... Several times, Ma Chao's Sirius gun pierced Zhang Liao's arm or thighs, which was radiated with a strange energy by Baihua Armor, which resolved Ma Chao's fierce attack of Ma Chao's Sirius gun into invisible: that It feels like catching loach... The harder you try, the less you will be!
Of course, even Zhang Xiu also helps Zhang Liao to attack Ma Chao, and Ma Chao can cope with it freely. As the saying goes: if you play chess, you are not afraid of more people; if you are more skilled, you are afraid that there are fewer people! After meeting Zhang Liao four times, Ma Chao was able to successfully plunder Cao Jun's grain team. Then why did Ma Chao succeed in the remaining six times? After all, Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu led 20,000 tiger and leopard riders to patrol back and forth between Fufeng County and Chang'an City. Their overall strength is no less than that of Ma Chao.
The success of the six-time looting of Cao Jun's grain and fodder is due to Ma Chao's staff and cannon Ren Qiang's strategy: to divert the tiger away from the mountain, use the detachment as bait, and lead Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu's tiger and leopard riding out of Cao Jun's grain transportation team. Then Ma Chao led a large army and defeated Cao Jun's grain transportation team...
This time, Cao Jun's grain transportation team set out from Chang'an City, and the long heavy trucks lasted for several miles. In a secret mountain forest, Ma Chao, Ren Qiang and Ma Xiu are discussing how to plunder Cao's grain transportation team.
Fighting and fighting against the strong is Ma Chao's strength, and Ma Chao is not interested in planning strategies. Ren Qiang looked at the map and said to Ma Chao leisurely, "General, the scale of Cao Jun's transport team this time is unprecedented. It is estimated that there are a lot of Yudong's combat readiness materials..."
Ma Chao turned his face and looked at the guard in the cool breeze of late autumn, and also thought of the inadequacy of his soldiers' combat supplies for the winter.
After Ma Xiu nodded to Ren Qiang, he also said, "Mr. Ren's judgment is extremely accurate, but this time the whereof of the 20,000 tigers and leopards led by Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu are still unknown... If they take the opportunity to capture the North City, our scouts and secret whistles did not find them on the way to the North City... ...."
When Ma Chao heard the words, he smiled cheerfully and said, "Maybe Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu were scared by Mr. Ren's plan to get away from the mountain... In order not to be fooled by us easily, they began to make a mystery..."
Ren Qiang looked at the map and was silent. He knew that before, in order to ensure the safety of the grain transport team, Cao Jun also sent troops to attack the North City to mobilize Ma Chao's army, but he saw through it at a glance and was not deceived. Did Cao Jun really attack Beidicheng regardless of the safety of the grain transportation team this time? But on the way from Chang'an City to Beidai City, Ma Chao's secret sentry and scouts did not find any strange military situation? ... The large-scale transport team has no heavy troops to escort. What kind of medicine is sold in Cao Jun's gourd? ......
Ma Chao looked at the information sent in front of him again, and then whispered to Ren Qiang, "Mr. Ren, the number of trucks of Cao Jun has reached 500 this time. We can't stand it at one time..."
Ren Qiang looked up at Ma Chao and said thoughtfully, "General, according to my estimation, things are not that simple... My intuition tells me that Cao Jun will take action against the North City this time, but there is no trace to prove my intuition! ..."
Ren Qiang's statement made Ma Chao disapprove. Ma Chao shook his head and said, "Mr. Ren, even if Zhang Liao and Zhang Xiu lead tens of thousands of troops to attack the North City, we can return in time, and they will fall into the danger of being attacked before and behind..."
"Brother Meng Qi, Mr. Ren's statement is reasonable..." A flash of light flashed in Ma Xiu's mind. He interrupted Ma Chao's words and said, "Since Cao Mengde, a Chinese thief, led his troops to attack Fufeng County, he has not had much advantage. In the current situation, if I were Cao Cao, I would definitely shift the target, stimulate the morale of the army with a small victory, and at the same time hit the morale of Uncle Liu's side... In this way, Beidaicheng will be the first target for Cao's army's attack!"
When Ma Chao heard the words, he fell into meditation, while Ren Qiang raised his thumbs up to Ma Xiu. Ma Xiu is the best planning talent of the Ma family. He has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child, talked to people, and often made amazing words.
"General, if Cao's army intends to take the northern city this time, we can also attack the Cao army's transport team, and then retreat quickly..." After careful consideration, Ren Qiang finally said to Ma Chao, "General, we can attack the central position of the Cao army's grain transportation team near Duanlong Valley. After one blow, I Fang destroyed the road and then retreated to the North City in case of accidents..."
Ma Chao looked at the position of Ren Qiang's finger in the map, and his head was a promise. Originally, Ma Chao wanted to eat all of Cao Jun's grain transportation team.
At the same time, in the mountains and forests more than ten miles across the Duanlong Valley mentioned by Ren Qiang, Sima Yi, dressed in scribes, was discussing military affairs with Zhang Liao. The conversation between the two was all about the northern city. As Ma Xiu expected: This time, Cao Jun just wanted to capture the northern city in one fell swoop. At this time, Cao Jun really needed a victory to stimulate morale. After all, the stalemate has lasted for a long time, which must be extremely unfavorable to the victorious side.
When Sima Yi said to Zhang Liao: Ma Chao will definitely not let go of the opportunity at hand and attack Cao's transport team, and at the same time attack near Duanlong Valley... Sima Yi's extremely positive tone made Zhang Liao feel amazing.
Of course, Zhang Liao was convinced of Sima Yi's judgment, just like Guo Jia at the beginning. In the face of Sima Yi, Zhang Liao couldn't help thinking of Guo Jia. In the dark, he clearly felt that Guo Jia did not leave, and he was still living in a corner of the world...
