Xiliang Iron Ride

Chapter 543 Attack Camp

The other side has heavy armored soldiers, and it is difficult for the cavalry to come forward. Using fire attack is the result of Yan Xing's hard thinking. Don't you love to hide in the grain and grass cart? I set fire to burn you out, lose the miraculous effect of the raid, and the role of heavy infantry will be minimized.

To Yan Xing's expectation, it was not the heavy infantry that protected this grain-moving team, but the soldiers in light armor. They moved quickly and quickly. Obviously, Tian Feng was also constantly improving his strategy in order to kill the enemy to the greatest extent. The Jizhou army finally found a way to restrain the Xiliang cavalry. Naturally, it will not be wrong. Over.

A fire burned all the conspiracy of the grain and grass cart, and a carefully managed victory will be useless under the attack of the fire.

Yan Xing looked at the panicked soldiers in the fire, with a happy smile on the corners of his mouth. The task ordered by Jia Rong can be carried out in this way in the future, cutting off the food and fodder from Jizhou.

Five hundred cavalrymen broke through the grain and grass team without any effort. All the soldiers who resisted or surrendered were ordered to be executed by Yan Xing. This is the battlefield, not charity. When an enemy is taken in, there will be a change in the battle.

This grain transport team is only more than 500 people, and there are not many grain and fodder. Obviously, it is an ambush deliberately set by the Jizhou Army for the Xiliang Army. Yuan Shao still attaches great importance to the real grain and fodder. Each convoy is guarded by at least 1,000 people, and the combat strength should not be underestimated.

Yan Xing was a little dissatisfied with such a record. He turned his eyes to the larger grain transportation team. After three days of exploration, there was a place more than ten miles away from here that Jizhou military grain and grass passed by every time, and thousands of soldiers were escorted. Obviously, it was the real main force of grain transportation. If this grain transportation team was eliminated. It will definitely make Yuan Shao suffer for a while.

Yan Xing has won a small victory, and there is still no progress on Ma Teng's side. There were no advanced communication measures in ancient times. It is impossible for Yan Xing to contact Ma Teng immediately and pass on his victory.

Ma Teng has led the army to follow this grain transport team for two days. Every time Ma Teng sends dozens of cavalry forward and constantly provoke the other party. In the long run, the grain transporters are accustomed to this. Seeing the arrival of the cavalry, there is no real panic before. Instead, there is a trace of disdain in his eyes, relying on grain and grass trucks. Orderly resistance to the charge of the cavalry

With a long gun, Ma Chao entered the grain transport team alone. The grain transport team was in chaos. The generals kept shouting and let the soldiers come forward. Ma Chao tried his best, stabbed the long gun in his hand, and surrounded him. He killed and injured more than a dozen soldiers in the first battle, making the grain transportation team much more cautious, and the disdain to look at the cavalry also restrained. A lot.

Ma Teng looked at Ma Chao and shook his head slightly. He was brave and brave. He lacked enough calmness and did not have enough patience. Like Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong in the Xiliang Army, in terms of martial arts, Ma Chao was out of reach, and his mind was out of reach. Sometimes Ma Teng was worried about Ma Chao. With his personality, it was difficult to get an important position in the army. Maybe after After the training of the battlefield and the training of military theory courses, there can be some progress. Even Huang Zhong may not be able to do such a thing at Ma Chao's age.

However, Ma Chao's attack has also raised the morale of his own cavalry a little. The Xiliang cavalry believes in an invincible enemy. Even the fierce Xianbei people on the grassland have been defeated in their hands, not to mention the grain transporters in Jizhou. When they take it seriously, no matter how many means the grain transporters have. They can eat him slowly.

When passing through a plain area, Ma Teng finally moved. Five hundred cavalrymen were divided into ten batches and launched an attack on the transportation team. Every time, they began to shoot arrows from the land of an arrow, which made the grain transporters tired to cope with it. They were just soldiers who escorted food and grass. Without shield soldiers, it was impossible. To resist the dense arrows, under such an attack, the only way is to keep avoiding. Xitu can avoid a disaster. Under the real threat of life and death, the credit is a little out of reach for them. For the sake of credit, few soldiers are willing to pay the price of their lives. The achievements are precious and the price of life is higher.

After all, there are only a few people who stand out on the battlefield, and more people are just mediocre, when the monk hits the clock one day.

The grain transport team was in chaos, and the ambush hidden in the grain and grass cart could not sit still and killed one after another. The generals among them were obviously higher than the generals who escorted the grain and grass. They constantly organized soldiers to rely on the grain and grass cart to fight against the Xiliang Army.

This way of fighting for grain transporters is very correct. Relying on its own advantageous items and fighting with the enemy, this method has appeared many times in history. The infantry at the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also resisted the attack of the Xiongnu cavalry in this way, which is remarkable.

Ma Teng frowned when he saw that the other party's general organized soldiers behind the grain and grass cart. According to this situation, the other party must be able to resist the charge of the cavalry. Moreover, there is not much food and grass in this grain-carrying team. It's just a bait wandering on the battlefield. There are many such teams on the battlefield. Ma Teng really doesn't understand that Yuan Shao spent a lot of force. Is it just to let the Xiliang army be fooled and kill such a little cavalry? Previously, the Xiliang army lost more than 500 cavalry. The price paid by the Jizhou army was definitely thousands of people. It can be said that it took a few lives to change a cavalry.

Ma Teng returned with his troops and continued to follow the grain transportation team.

Not only did Yan Xing think of the fire attack, but Ma Teng also thought of it, and put it into practice. Under the attack of the fire, the food and grass cart on which he relied on became an obstacle for soldiers. Under the scorched fire, he constantly scattered and fled. This time, it was a real escape. Ma Teng relied on the cavalry in his hand and quickly won the victory. On the battlefield, the Jizhou Army fell into a disadvantage under the fire attack of the cavalry. The support of grain and grass was hindered, and Yuan Shao was also a little anxious.

On the battlefield of Xuzhou, there is the last city left. Liu Bei is struggling to support it. The food and fodder in the city are enough to support the army in March. During this period, if reinforcements come, they can win. Anyway, Liu Bei is the state herdsman of Xuzhou. During the period of operating Xuzhou, he has also gained a lot. Officials' hearts, during the period of siege in Xuzhou, were constantly sent soldiers to rescue, but they were defeated by the cavalry of the Cao army on the way. Unlike the cunning of the Jizhou army, the generals who came to help basically relied on a cavity of blood or were forced to come. Under the charge of the Cao army, they scattered and fled and surrendered. There are countless.

The situation in Xuzhou is worrying. Liu Bei seems to be much older overnight. He has gray hair on his head and has not slept for three days in a row. He thinks of the general Jia Rong, who repeatedly survived adversity and relied on rare troops to block the attack of most of the enemy. Why is he a relative of the Han Dynasty? I have studied hard since I was a child, but I can't reach him.

Thinking of the Xiliang Army, Liu Bei's expression was shocked. He hurriedly ordered the soldiers to collect feces and oil in the city, and kept boiling them in the city. The smell of oil was accompanied by the smell of feces, and many soldiers kept flashing in front of their noses with their hands.

At the beginning, the allied forces attacked Hanguguan. With this move, the Xiliang army let tens of thousands of allied soldiers be recruited, howled in the camp all day long, and finally died under the plague. Since he could not successfully defend Xuzhou, Cao Cao could not get Xuzhou so easily. Now, Liu Bei has an idea of breaking the jar.

And this kind of injury is difficult to heal. Even if the general suffers such an injury, it will not get better without a good treatment. Cao Jun is not as good as Xiliangjun. He has a medical team. The injured soldiers can be treated quickly. In the Central Plains, a soldier was injured, which is just a simple treatment. It all depends on their own luck. The princes of the Central Plains will certainly not spend a huge amount of medical expenses on ordinary soldiers. With that money, they can pull up a new army at any time.

Liu Bei had a support in his hand. In today's siege battle, Cao's army soon announced the end. The hot oil and manure made the siege soldiers in coarse cloth clothes suffer. At this time, the weather was hot, and the soldiers would certainly not want to wear heavy armor and climb the ladder. Unprepared, this attack method was very Great effect.

Late at night, the soldiers with oil and dung kept howling in pain. The voices came one after another, making it difficult for Cao Cao to fall asleep. Unexpectedly, Liu Bei would use such a bad move. Not all the princes knew that this move were willing to use it. In the words of scholars, it hurt the sky. If Jia Rong heard this sentence, he would definitely shake his head and talk nonsense. Dan, is the war between the two princes in accordance with God's will? Once the war is carried out, the people will suffer. If there is really God's punishment, the first to die is these vassals who are arrogant.

The lights of the army's big tent are still igniting. Today's victory has added a lot of smile on Liu Bei's face. As long as he can defend Xuzhou, he still has a chance to compete with the princes of the world.

"Brother, Cao Jun was frustrated at this time, and the precautions in the camp were certainly not strict. If I led the army to kill for a while and plunder Cao's camp!" Guan Yu's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly opened and said loudly.

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Second brother, no, Cao Cao is a man who has been in war for a long time. How can he not know how to prevent the enemy from attacking on the battlefield?"

"Brother, Cao's army has attacked repeatedly. Our army does not have the strength to counterattack. It must be the army's heart slack, not to try once." Guan Yu insisted.

Zhang Fei's favorite thing is to join in this kind of excitement, and he remembered that he fell into Cao Cao's hands a few days ago, and there was a blazing flame in his eyes. "Big brother, what the second brother said is reasonable."

As if he remembered something, Liu Bei sighed and said, "Okay, just follow the second brother!"

As Guan Yu expected, the defense of Cao Junyingzhai was very loose. Under the siege of the army, they believed that the defenders in the city had already sealed the city gate, and they would not go out of the city to fight.

Guan Yu led 500 cavalry and suddenly killed them, killing the Cao army's camp in chaos. Guan Yu did not seek to kill the enemy, but only ordered the soldiers to keep setting fire. The whole Cao's camp was like a gathering of fireflies.
