Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Jian'an 11th year, August, Liangzhou.

When Cao Jun entered Jiangdong, the Fourth Army of Ma Teng, Xu Shu, Ma Chao, and Zhang Xiu, who were far away in Xiliang, had already led their soldiers to several counties in Ke'an County.

Breaking the military balance between the two sides is actually all thanks to Pang Tong's extremely bold conspiracy.

After following Pang Tong's strategy, Ma Teng and others set up many suspects.

Relying on these fake and real suspicious soldiers, Ma Teng and Xu Shu not only restrained Han Sui's great attention, but also won a few small victories, annihilating thousands of Han Sui's troops, and hitting the morale of Han Sui's army.

At the same time, Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu led their cavalry to go around behind Cheng Gongying's army and launched a merciless surprise attack on him.

How can Cheng Gongying's army stop the wolf cavalry battalion and Xiliang iron cavalry?

In just one charge, Cheng Gongying's army was defeated by Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu.

In this battle, Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu not only disabled Han Sui's army, but also directly broke the balance of confrontation between the two sides. As a result, the morale of Han Sui's soldiers was low, and they had to retreat in order to protect themselves.

Han Sui knew Ma Chao's status in the hearts of Xiliang people. He did not fight against Ma Chao's cavalry after he lost the battle.

In Xiliang, although Han Sui's reputation was not inferior to Ma Teng's, his popularity was far inferior to Ma Teng's. Therefore, the defenders in some places did not want to fight against Ma Teng's army at all.

So, when Ma Teng and Xu Shu then stepped into Anding County, Han Sui's defenders had already left.

On their way deep into Anding, they never encountered decent resistance at all. Many counties in Anding County almost surrendered directly.

Han Sui went all the way to the northwest, directly exited Anding County and returned to Wuwei County.

He still has [-] troops, and nearly [-] defenders scattered in Wuwei, Jincheng, Zhangye, Beidi and other counties.
He only needs to return to Wuwei County to regroup his troops, and after a period of recuperation, he can seek another opportunity to fight Ma Teng again.

But Ma Teng and the others obviously would not give Han Sui another chance to rest, leaving Ma Chao and Zhang Xiu two armies to continue to clean up the defenders of Anding County and the remnants of Han Sui's army that had not been able to withdraw in time, while Ma Teng and Xu Shu returned. Hanyang County, after a little supply, marched straight towards Jincheng County.

Although Han Sui was defeated for a while, he was not injured.After gathering the defenders from Wuwei County, Jincheng County, and Beidi County, he came to Jincheng to garrison.

Jincheng is not far from Hanyang County, and the two armies of Ma Teng and Xu Shu have also arrived in Yuzhong at this moment.

The army set up camp and began to recharge their batteries.

"Father, Han Wenyue is stationed in Anding." A young general rushed into Ma Teng's camp and said to Ma Teng.This young player is younger than Ma Chao, and he is Ma Teng's second son, Ma Xiu.

Ma Teng nodded when he heard the words, and asked the general standing beside him, "Ling Ming, is there any news from Meng Qi and General Zhang?"

"Returning to my lord, the young general and general Zhang have conquered Linjing City, and they should be rushing towards our army now."

"I have to say, Big Brother and General Zhang Xiu are really amazing!
They actually only led [-] cavalry, and killed Han Sui's old man in a panic, and even withdrew directly from Anding County. After Matthew heard the news about Ma Chao, he shouted excitedly.

"Xiu'er, your elder brother and General Zhang are indeed powerful, but the one who is even more powerful is the Sima who is currently under General Xu's command." Ma Teng corrected him with a chuckle.

Matthew thought about it, and then asked, "Is that the ugly scholar?"

Ma Teng stretched out his finger and pointed Ma Xiu's forehead, and said, "Xiu, pay attention to your words. That is a talented counselor who has the name of Fengchu and can push Prime Minister Cao into a desperate situation!"

"But Jingzhou was defeated by Prime Minister Cao." Matthew was only in his teens this year, and he was at the age of madness.Hearing that Ma Teng was about to praise that ugly scholar to the sky, he immediately muttered a few words in dissatisfaction.

"Hugh is presumptuous!" Ma Teng's tone became severe, and Ma Xiu shrank his head and did not dare to speak back.

Last time he suffered from Han Sui stealing his family, so Ma Teng brought his family with him in the army.

Matthew has been with his father and brother in the army since he was a child, so he has a deep understanding of the rules in the army. In addition, Ma Teng usually disciplines his brothers very strictly, so when Ma Teng gets angry, Matthew immediately Just be honest.

Ma Teng ignored Matthew, pointed to the map hanging by his side, and continued to discuss the current situation with Pound.

He pondered for a while, then picked up the train of thought that was interrupted by Ma Xiu before, and said: "Han Sui's strongest troops are also cavalry, and their combat power may not be much different from that of the soldiers under my army, but it should still be inferior to the super soldiers." The Wolf Cavalry Battalion under Zhang Xiu's command and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under Zhang Xiu's command. As for the infantry, they cannot be compared with the infantry under General Xu's command. As long as we can defeat Han Sui's cavalry in one battle, Han Sui will have no chance to stand up again .”

The Ma family is a military family, the ancestor is Fubo General Ma Yuan, he can be said to know the cavalry well.

Once upon a time, Ma Teng always believed that the most valiant cavalry in the world was the Xiliang cavalry, but when Ma Chao came back with the wolf cavalry battalion, he realized how far-sighted his previous thinking was.

Not only Zhang Xiu's Xiliang iron cavalry, Cao Cao also has tiger and leopard cavalry, Xiao cavalry battalion.

The above three Ma Teng were still somewhat dissatisfied, but Lu Yan's Dragon Cavalry Army and Tie Futu, which were stronger than the Wolf Cavalry Battalion, made Ma Teng have to say a word of submission from the bottom of his heart.

Especially Tiefutu, the existence that even the proud Ma Chao admired and feared!

Ma Teng and Pound were also fascinated by the cavalry who wore heavy armor all over their bodies, including their horses.

Before the Qin Dynasty, in large-scale melee, the most impactful unit was the chariot.

Later, with the progress of the times, light cavalry gradually replaced the status of chariots by relying on the advantages of both flexibility and impact.

And due to the limitation of equipment, cavalry, especially cavalry who are good at riding and archery, is almost synonymous with invincibility in this era, so those nomads who grew up on horseback will appear extremely powerful.The most prominent is the Mongolian cavalry, who swept and conquered Europe with cavalry and archery.

But with the heavy cavalry, the cavalry battles will become more colorful. This is the gap between the cavalry under Cao Jun and the cavalry under other princes!
After listening to Ma Teng's words, Pang De pondered for a while, and said, "Han Sui is insidious and cunning, and he does everything he can. But at the same time, he is also extremely confident, and looks down on pure warriors like us."

"That's right! If it weren't for Xu Yuanzhi and Pang Shiyuan, it would be really not easy for us to defeat Han Sui." Ma Teng said with emotion.

"My lord, you are too modest." Hearing this, Pang De thought to himself, "Not only is it not easy, it's simply impossible, okay?"

But it's not good to say this directly in front of Ma Xiu, it would make Ma Teng lose face too much.

"Although Han Sui suffered a defeat, Han Sui did not hurt his muscles, so this time he led the army, he must still have great confidence in defeating us."

"But there is a saying in the art of war, a proud soldier will be defeated! This time we must not let the tiger go back to the mountain again!"
