Chapter 1101 Wen Dingcheng

Ma Chao was ambushed when he entered Hedong, but the brewing storm in Hedong temporarily appeared, and the big whirlpool in Jizhou was out of control and completely fell into a life-and-death struggle.

Unsurprisingly, the eyes of the whole storm vortex are Wending City. Now, the two armies of the Ma family and Cao's army have finally exposed all their strategic objectives. Both of them unconsciously changed the tactics of frontal fighting, and gradually gathered towards Wending City without remembering the process.

If you pursue it deeply, it is Cao Jun who will be the first to change the tactics. Under the strong pressure of Ma Jiajun Lien Zhan Lian Ke, Jiang Ji under the command of the forbidden army successfully provoked 100,000 aliens*. This time, the 400,000 army of the Ma family was composed of the Ma family's direct elite soldiers, mobilized county soldiers, Qiang, Xiongnu cavalry and foreign mercenaries. In the later period, Yuan and Cao's surrendered soldiers were added, and the composition of the regiment was quite chaotic.

Jiang Ji took a look at this point, only after 400 or 500 people dressed up as Huns and rode a village quickly. Immediately, those Xiongnu who did not know what the military order was and quickly followed suit. 30,000 Xiongnu quickly changed from the righteous division of the Ma family to man-eating beasts. Their strange screams rumbled with the thunderous hoofs. Wherever they passed, black smoke curled, the village was burned, and the crops that were about to grow were trampled on, and the people who were working were miserable. Massacre.

Countless kind men and people moaned under the iron hooves of the Xiongnu barbarians. The poor and kind men and people thought that even Ma Jiajun and Cao Jun would not harm them again. They could finally live a good life this year. Unexpectedly, they suddenly changed and caused disaster on the east wall. Overnight, they killed these ferocious jackals.

The Xiongnu Xunqi, who committed a lot of animal behavior, didn't realize that there was anything wrong with doing this. In the northern grassland, they did this. They not only plunder the tribes of the Qiang and Xianbei people, but also sometimes went south to plunder the villages and towns of the Han people.

In the eyes of the barbaric and ignorant Huns, human beings are no different from wild animals in nature. Powerfully annexing weak tribes, robbing women and property, and killing strong men is just as the law of the jungle in nature! No one has ever felt that there is anything wrong with wolves eating sheep - this is their logic.

However, breaking their logic is a big knife for Fa Zheng and Pound, who have always been lazy. At the beginning of the incident, Pound ordered to hunt down and deal with all the Huns who dared to plunder the Han people. Fa Zheng held a banquet and killed all the leaders who did not obey the military order of the Ma family when the heads of the Xiongnu were currently coming to complain. The warm and lazy teenager, in the bloody scene of the banquet, never showed any anger, and explained the Ma family's military order to the Xiongnu leaders from beginning to end.

The Xiongnu are such a people. They believe in the laws of man and nature and worship the strong. On the land of Jizhou, they only have 30,000 troops and are not the opponents of the Ma army at all. In the outline of Fa Zheng's tongue, they also understood what kind of revenge would be if they betrayed the Ma family at this time, the old and young women and children in their northern grasslands and tribes.

Cao Cao could not give a promise to the Huns, but the Ma family could. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, the Huns immediately conformed to their hearts and chose to follow the strong.

After that, Fazheng's counterattack began. Before that, he hid needles and continued to spread information about Cao's lack of food. After pacified the Xiongnu's chaos, he did everything to list or even spread rumors that Cao's army was about to run out of food. And this shameless and defenseless means soon forced Cao's army to increase the supply of food for soldiers, which completely put the senior officials of Cao's army into a state of anxiety. Both Mao Ji, Ren Jun and Xun Yu, who is in charge of the overall situation, are frowned upon these days, and their anxiety is like ants on a hot pot.

Fa Zheng and Jiang Ji used them in no particular order to end the two-to-face battle. In fact, Ma Chao had also expected this. He knew that this way of fighting head-on could not exist between the Ma family and the Cao family for a long time. In fact, it is impossible to stage in the battle of any princes of the Han Dynasty.

Is the war between the soldiers of both sides attacking each other in a neat formation?

Wrong, that's not a war, that's a fight! Only the Romans did that.

We are smart Chinese. We believe that war is an all-round, three-dimensional and artistic thing, involving military, political, economic, diplomatic, social and humanistic aspects. Even if we only talk about the military on the battlefield, we still have thirty-six tricks, as well as the 16-character guerrilla warfare method of retreating the enemy, as well as the harassment of turning around after shooting, as fire attack, water attack, grain, and clearing the wild.

Smart Chinese people never use that kind of low IQ. The reason why the Ma family and Cao are just starting to adopt the confrontation of frontal contact is that before fighting with two people, they first touch each other and try each other's power. Therefore, before entering Hedong, Ma Chao had sent all the strategists in his hands to all military departments in advance.

Sure enough, the next battle of the two families fell into a completely different style. Needless to say, they encountered mountains and rivers, valleys ambush servos, and water. If they do not wash away good fields, it is more common to break the dike and release water. In addition, even on the front battlefield, they have performed the battle to an extreme. Whether it is the cooperation of the arms, the way of deployment, or even the order of the troops, the whole battle has reached an unprecedented peak.

However, it is worth mentioning that although the two families have a large number of troops - the Ma family has 400,000 troops, and the Cao army has more than 250,000 troops after Yuan Shao surrendered many soldiers and horses - but the two families have been quite restrained. In Ma Chao's view, under the exquisite calculations and clever layout again and again, they can only defeat five or seven at most. Thousands of enemies are really a little blind to their wisdom.

Under the battlefield, under a battle, lying down up to 5,000 corpses on both sides is already an unprecedented war: the reason for this is that both leaders understand a very simple truth. People are the most basic resources. It's really inappropriate to waste it on this battlefield.

Cao Cao just wants to see if they have a chance to get involved in Youzhou. What Ma Chao needs is to support himself to completely occupy Youzhou - of course, these two guys who are not hesitate to hide behind each other and prepare knives in the dark - so, there is no need for too many innocent lives to be buried there on the battlefield of Jizhou.

It's really not worth it.

However, there are exceptions to everything. The exception of the Ma family and Cao Cao is only reflected in one place: Wending City.

Taishici at the top of the city has not closed his eyes for three days and nights. After Zhao Yun and Tian Yu took Liu He north to Youzhou, Xiahou Yuan's army rushed over the next day - this time, he brought 50,000 troops!

On the first day of the siege, Xia Houyuan almost broke through the city. Liu Ye was both a military commander and a Thunderbolt commander. The overwhelming stones and arrows covered the whole small city of Wending like dark clouds. Taishici fought desperately. He took the Ma family to ride several times and destroyed 20 Thunderbolt cars to defend the city. On that day, hundreds of thousands of arrows were released on Wending City. Outside the whole gate of Wending City was a sea of blood, and the layers of corpses made Xun You, who was accustomed to blood rain, feel a little dizzy.

For three days of such an attack between the two sides, with the arrival of the Ma family's foreign aid army, Tai Shici's pressure was less. At the most critical time, Xun You even made a plan to burn down Wending City and fight a guerrilla war with Cao's army on the border of Youzhou.

However, in this most critical period, two major events happened and completely rewrote the war situation of Wending City. This never-known county has been reduced back to the identity of an ordinary county in the north of Hejian County...
