Chapter 308 The Outbreak of the Great War
"So Cao Hong is going to block us from being south of Lingju County?" In the big account, Zhang Au was looking at the map above the desk with a serious face, and the place of Lingju County on the map had been marked with a flag.
"Yes, I think Cao Hong is really going to break with my Jingzhou, otherwise he would never pose like this." Fa Zheng, who had just returned, nodded and continued, "But at this time, the situation in the north has gradually stabilized. Even if Yuan Shao and others have been defeated, it is only a matter of time before Cao Cao captures Jizhou. The longer the time is delayed, the more beneficial it is for Cao Cao. I heard that at this time, the power of Jizhou has been divided into three strands. Yuan Shao often ignores affairs due to illness, and the chaos in Jizhou is imminent.
"Oh, the military engineer is right. Jizhou is indeed sunset at this time." Zhang Zhe sighed and said that he was also clear about the situation in Jizhou. In the past, Tian Feng, Fa Zheng and others were able to temporarily suppress those fights. Now that Yuan Shaoxin's defeat in Jizhou, I'm afraid people are already panicked.
"So Ma Teng really doesn't want to help me in Jingzhou?" Zhang said coldly on his face. He originally wanted to force Ma Teng to serve in Jingzhou, but at this time, it seemed that Ma Teng was so capricious that even if he surrendered to Jingzhou, he might not be loyal to his lord.
"Well, he may think that when my soldiers and horses in Jingzhou come, he will definitely make Cao Hong afraid and won't intervene in his decisive battle with Han Sui, right?" Fa Zheng smiled with a slightly sarcastic smile.
"In this case, I'll just sit and watch Ma Teng's defeat." Zhang Jie muttered for a moment. Even if Ma Teng and Han Sui fight a decisive battle, Cao Hong will worry that Jingzhou will not participate in the war in a short time. When Cao Hong's participation in the war is probably due to both Han Sui and Ma Teng's defeats, Cao Cao will not leave a powerful Han Sui.
.....................................................................
The next morning, the gate of Xuanwei City opened, and a team of soldiers and horses rushed out of the city. It was Ma Teng and his sons first, followed by Ma Teng's generals. This time, in addition to the remaining 5,000 people guard Xuanwei City, Ma Teng brought out all the soldiers and horses under his command.
After the army, a team of pawns carried siege equipment, and a manhole railing and a stone catapult were transported out of the city.
Xuanwei City is only dozens of miles away from Wuwei City. In a few hours, Ma Teng and others rushed outside Wuwei City. The 50,000 troops were mostly cavalry, and they gathered outside Wuwei City to surround Wuwei City.
A group of cavalry outside Wuwei City kept running back and forth, invoting about the situation around.
"Father, I didn't find any trace of the tiger and leopard riding. Cao Hong should be against the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou at this time." Ma Chaodao next to Ma Teng.
"Well, Han Sui must be killed this time. As for the tiger and leopard riding and Jingzhou soldiers and horses, when we annex Han Sui's soldiers and horses, sooner or later we will drive them out of Liangzhou." Ma Teng looked coldly like a city tower.
A team of soldiers and horses on the tower are ready with weapons. Whether it is the soldiers and horses under Ma Teng's command or Han Sui's soldiers and horses are mostly cavalry, and they are not good at defending and attacking the city.
But looking at the situation on the tower at this time, Han Sui clearly intended to stick to the city.
"Father, don't worry. The siege equipment will be delivered immediately. At that time, it will only be a matter of time before the army crushes Wuwei City." Seeing Ma Teng frowning and looking up at the tower, Ma Chao thought that Ma Teng was really worried about the situation here.
"It doesn't matter. I'm in charge of this Wuwei City in person. You lead 10,000 soldiers and horses around Wuwei to attack the land under Han Sui's command. I'd like to see how long Han Sui can hold on." Ma Teng shook his head.
"In this case, I let Ling Ming stay to help his father." Ma Chao pondered for a moment. Although there were Ma Xiu and Ma Tie and others here, Ma Chao was still a little worried.
"No, just let Ling Ming be with you. It's enough for others to stay here." Ma Teng waved his hand and gathered most of his generals here. Pound was not very useful.
Think about it. At this time, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and others were all here, and several generals under Han Sui's command were not afraid.
Arched Ma Chao and Pound led 10,000 cavalry to gallop away.
"Father, the rear army has arrived. Will you attack the city immediately?" Half an hour later, Ma Xiu quickly came to Ma Teng's side and was breathless. On this road, he hardly stopped at all. He kept urging his soldiers and horses to go on his way, just to get to Wuwei City as soon as possible and attack the city earlier to kill Han Sui.
"Well, I'll give you ten well railings, and you can lead someone to attack the north gate." Ma Teng nodded.
At the same time, Ma Tie also led his soldiers and horses to attack the south gate, and Ma Teng personally led his people to sit at the west gate, leaving only one to attack the east gate.
"Lord, this Ma Teng concentrated his forces to attack the three gates in the west, north and south. Is he trying to lead us out of the city?" Cheng Yin frowned and looked at the soldiers on both sides who fought fiercely and said doubtfully.
"Who are the people who attacked several doors?" Han Sui asked.
"It's Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, but Ma Teng personally supervised the battle of Ximen." The election is on the right track.
"Ma Chao is the most brave and has the highest prestige in the army, but now he is not alone with this person. It's really strange." Han Sui's face was a little more suspicious. Ma Chao's name had long been known as Liangzhou, and he did not dare to look down on this son.
"Lord, do we want to ask Cao Sikong for help?" Cheng Yin said hesitantly.
"No, they already know the situation here. If they can, they will support it." Han Sui shook his head. At this time, it was useless for him to beg Yang Xiu and others. It's better to wait here.
In the post hall in Wuwei City, Yang Xiu and Du Xi were kneeling on the lobby. Since receiving the news that Ma Teng came to attack Wuwei City, the two ordered their subordinates to pay close attention to the situation outside the city.
Not only do they have no choice but to never ask Cao Hong for help. Although Han Sui has obeyed Cao Cao, it is impossible to let the tiger and leopard ride a fierce battle with the horse, and let Han Sui preserve his strength.
If you want to take Liangzhou, you must have Han Sui after being damaged, otherwise Cao Cao will never rest assured that Liangzhou will be handed over to Han Sui.
"General Cao's scouts pay attention to the situation here at any time. If Han Sui can't hold on, he will come to the rescue, and we will wait and see what happens." Yang Xiu shook his head.
"Well, several people under Han Sui's command still seem to be a little resistant to the master, but when the master's army arrives, they naturally dare not say anything more." Du Xi nodded. As soon as Cao Hong arrived, there was nothing to do with them. Cao Cao Cao would definitely explain what Cao Hong should do, and Cao Hong was not comparable to ordinary generals.
..............................................................
"Oh, it's really surprising that Ma Teng can't sit still so fast." Cao Hong was slightly surprised to receive the news that Ma Teng attacked Wuwei City.
"What's the difference in Jingzhou's soldiers and horses?" Cao Hong asked.
"General, the soldiers and horses in Jingzhou are still stationary, and even their cavalry are stationed in place without any movement."
"Ha ha, it seems that we are not the only ones who want Han Sui and Ma Teng to lose both." Cao Hong smiled and said.
"Pay close attention to the situation of Wuwei City, and the scouts in the direction of Jingzhou should be doubled." He laughed at any time, but Cao Hong was not careless at all.
"No."
......................................................
"I didn't expect Ma Teng to be so calm. It's really disappointing." Fa Zheng also shook his head slightly and sighed. Although Jingzhou is well prepared, the longer it takes, the more beneficial it will be for Jingzhou, and the more well prepared Jingzhou will be.
"It doesn't matter. The lord has prepared everything. As long as the Jingzhou army can be mobilized at any time, even if Cao Cao leads the army back at this time, there is nothing to be afraid of." Zhang shook his head and said.
"I just don't know when Cao Hong will take action. Do I really have to wait for Han Sui's soldiers and horses to be killed and injured before I can intervene?" With expectation in his tone, Zhang looked up at the map beside him. He had seen this map many times and had planned how to capture Liangzhou countless times.
"General Zhao and General Wang can't wait for a long time. Feilongwei and Feihuwei meet a close opponent for the first time." Fa Zheng shook his head and said that although Feilongwei and Feihuwei are the elite of cavalry and are famous in the Yizhou area of Jingzhou, they are still not as good as the tiger and leopard riding in the whole world.
"I also want to see the strength of Feilongwei and Feihuwei. Although there are only a few thousand people, it is enough to deter Xiaoxiao." Zhang Kuang said with a smile.
The biggest advantage of the cavalry is to rush, but the Flying Dragon Guard and the Flying Tiger Guard do not seem to be in line with the category of pure cavalry, and the strength of a single person is extremely strong.
Not far from the city, thousands of cavalry are comfortably scattered around, and a war horse wanders everywhere without the tension that the war is about to come.
"There has been a fight over there." Looking up at Wang Yi in the distance, he said with a little expectation. This was the first time that Feihuwei had met a stronger opponent than himself. He did not dare to slack off at all.
The Flying Tiger Army and the Flying Tiger Guard fought together. It hasn't happened for many years. Wang Yi sighed in his heart.
"Ha ha, don't worry, since the lord sent troops to Liangzhou, he will definitely capture Liangzhou in one fell swoop. Although the tiger and leopard rider is elite, how can the master not be prepared at all." Zhao Yun didn't care about it. Although he didn't follow Liu Qi for a long time, he knew Liu Qi very well. Although he had never made great preparations, Liu Qi would never do what he was not sure about.
Since you decided to attack Liangzhou, how can you not expect the existence of cavalry?
"Ha ha, I have never doubted this." Wang Yi smiled softly. He has followed Liu Qi since he left Jingzhou. It can be said that he has witnessed how Liu Qi rose step by step. His confidence in Liu Qi is even stronger than that of Zhao Yun.
Looking back at the people behind him, Wang Yi's eyes became more and more satisfied. These people followed him all the way to this day. Everyone has experienced a lot of battles and crawled out of the dead. Even the most powerful enemy will not be afraid at all.
