Han Dao world

Chapter 521
Ma Chao was in a bad mood.

Although it was pretending to be defeated to lure the enemy, it was not considered a real defeat, but it was a bit aggrieved to pretend to be in the middle of the ambush, even if it was clearly capable of inflicting serious damage on the opponent.When I returned to Daying, I found that I missed the celebration banquet, and I felt even more awkward.

Standing outside the imperial camp, he paced back and forth, looking at the imperial tent from time to time.

Ma Yunlu hurried over and handed Ma Chao a rice ball soaked in gravy. "Eat it quickly, it's still hot."

Ma Chao was really hungry, he reached out to take it, and devoured it hungrily. "It would be better if there was wine."

"I'm going to see the emperor soon, how can I drink." Ma Yunlu seized the time and told the general situation, especially the emperor's pardon for Lu Bu's crime of digging the imperial tomb.

Ma Chao was surprised when he heard this. "That's okay too?"

"The emperor has rewarded and punished you, and the grievances and grievances are clear. If you do things well, the emperor will naturally not let you down."

"It doesn't matter whether he lives up to me or not, I'm afraid that he will let you down."

"You don't mind my business." Ma Yunlu glared at Ma Chao, turned around and left.

Ma Chao sighed and smacked his lips helplessly.

After a while, someone came to report, and the emperor let him into the camp.Ma Chao tidied up his clothes, adjusted his mood, and strode to the imperial tent to sign up.The voice of the emperor came from the tent, and someone raised the tent. Ma Chao came in, came to the emperor, and bowed to salute.

"Your Majesty, the minister is back."

"Well, sit down." Sitting in front of the firepit, Liu Xie handed a clay cup to Ma Chao, picked up the teapot on the fire, and poured half a cup of hot tea for Ma Chao.Ma Chao was flattered, holding the cup in both hands, his hands were warm, and his heart was also warm.

Liu Xie roasted half a piece of lamb leg on the fire. "Wait a while, the meat will be ready soon."

"Ah, ah." Ma Chao didn't know what to say.

"I heard that you lost the battle?" Liu Xie said with a smile, arms crossed.

"Yes, I lost the battle and lost dozens of armors." Ma Chao smiled smugly. "The ones who died were all the Qiang people who were captured before. They were disobedient and wanted to kill them a long time ago. This time it is considered waste."

"Do you think the Xianbei people will come?"

"The possibility is not small. I heard from Jiang Jiong and others that the Xianbei people are very greedy, and they especially want our armor and weapons, even a piece of armor. The scout battalion was ambushed several times, and all the sacrificed soldiers were picked up. I just threw it in the wilderness. I just listened to him, so I threw a dozen pairs of armor as bait."

Liu Xie was silent for a moment, and then said: "Is there any news from the Kebineng Department recently?"

"No. The Xianbei slaves are very cunning. They must be hiding somewhere to watch the fun. They will help whoever wins."

"I didn't expect him at all." Liu Xie said unhurriedly: "This is the case now, and it will be the same in the future. If he wants to see it, let him take a good look and let him see who is the master of the grassland. Take a good rest , be prepared for a long-distance pursuit."

"Wei." Ma Chao agreed, and then said, "How far should we chase, to Junji Mountain?"

"As long as you can guarantee the casualty rate like a wolf rider, you can chase as far as you can."

"Really?" Ma Chao exclaimed.

"You are not joking." The corner of Liu Xie's mouth twitched slightly. "This battle is either not fought, or if it is fought, the Xianbei people will not dare to approach the frontier fortress for ten years, and they will flee as soon as they hear the name of my Han people."

"That's right." Ma Chao clenched his fists excitedly and waved them vigorously.

Han Sui talked with Jia Xu for half an hour. After returning to the camp, he called Cheng Gongying and others to discuss in detail the plan for the battle.

The generals admired Han Sui's plan to build a wall with sand.

Han Sui brought [-] men, and although they claimed to be all cavalry, less than [-] could be regarded as elite cavalry.

For them, relying on the cover of the ice wall to engage in positional warfare with the Xianbei is undoubtedly more secure than a cavalry duel.

What they have practiced in the past six months is positional offense and defense.

Jia Xu said, the emperor's forbidden army is not just a ceremonial guard, but a real elite. Your task is not as difficult as you imagined. You can fight more calmly and boldly, and reserve enough strength for pursuit.

Han Sui was right in his arms, but he couldn't directly put such a plan in front of the emperor, so he made two plans.One is to block with all their strength, to keep the Xianbei people out of the position as much as possible, to ensure that no arrow will be shot in front of the emperor.One is to control the situation so that some Xianbei people can pass through his position and reach the emperor without making the emperor feel too much pressure.

How to choose is up to the emperor himself.

Early the next morning, Han Sui came to Liu Xie with two plans.His eyes were bloodshot, but his spirit was very excited.

As Han Sui wished, Liu Xie chose the second plan.Not only that, but he also said to Han Sui, in terms of the current military strength, as long as the number of Xianbei people you let in each time is less than [-], I can handle it, and there is basically no danger.

Therefore, what you have to consider may not be keeping the Xianbei people out of the formation, but how to cut off their retreat after they are brought in so that they cannot escape.

Han Sui was speechless.

But he didn't doubt what the emperor said at all.He has already learned about the strength of the Emperor's Forbidden Army from different channels, and he knows that these people have never relaxed their training, and their strength is far higher than the [-] paces he leads.

If Liu Xie is not the emperor, and the prince has just been born, the life and death of the big man rests on his shoulders alone, maybe Liu Xie doesn't need to send troops and generals at all, and can use the forbidden army to maim the Xianbei people.

This battle is not for him to rescue him, but to give him a chance to make meritorious service, so that he, the Great General of Zhenxi, can live up to his name and have enough qualifications to lead troops eastward in the future.

With the support of the emperor, Han Sui was more confident.

After negotiating with Han Sui, Liu Xie convened a discussion with the generals to arrange a plan to fight the Xianbei people.

The entire position has a total of [-] steps and is divided into two parts: inside and outside:

Waizhong is composed of Han Sui, the general of Zhenxi, Ma Chao, the captain of Huqiang, and Zhang Yang, the general of Duliao. Han Sui is in the middle, digs trenches, sets up triple sand walls, and uses infantry as the main force to fight.Ma Chao was on the left and Zhang Yang was on the right, covering the two wings with cavalry.

Han Sui was the commander in chief.

The inner weight is composed of the forbidden army, the emperor's imperial camp is in the middle, and the Huben camp is guarded by Huben Zhonglang Song Guo.Yubayashi Zhonglang Zhang Xiutong Yulin is on the left, Yueqi School Captain Wang Futong Northern Army cavalry is on the right.

The real killer weapon—Jiaqi is commanded by Guo Wu, Zhao Yun, and Yan Xing in case of emergency.

Wei Wei Ma Teng led the Wei Wei Battalion with five thousand cavalry, and set up a camp on the south side of Xiu Tuze, ready to respond.

Hundreds of sledges are prepared on the frozen Xiu Tuze, ready to come and go at any time.In order to prevent the Xianbei people from breaking into the rear from the ice surface, all the ice surfaces on the east and west sides were cut, and people were arranged to guard them.

After the position was arranged, Liu Xie emphasized again that the purpose of this battle was to severely injure or even annihilate the invading Xianbei people, so all ministries must strictly implement the predetermined plan, and must not be greedy for meritorious deeds and scare away the Xianbei people.If it affects the overall battle plan, not only will it be useless, but it will be a crime.

Liu Xie raised his right hand and slowly clenched it.

"A single finger is easy to break, five fingers form a fist, and only when everyone is united can they exert the greatest strength. Gentlemen, work hard!"

"Wei!" The generals suddenly agreed.
