I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 403, Vulnerable

Tian Feng shook his head and said: "Ma Teng and the others can't be Lei Gong's opponents, even if we support it, and the terrain in Xiliang is too suitable for cavalry combat, we can only waste our soldiers in vain if we go to Xiliang! We can only use it now It is Xiliang's complex people's sentiments that create a chaotic situation that delays Lei Gong. It is impossible for Lei Gong to completely occupy Xiliang without 2-3 years.

If even the Qiang people break out in turmoil, Xiliang can even delay Lei Gongjiu's time, and during this time, we can accumulate enough strength in Luoyang City, and we can also form a coalition to counterattack Hebei!So the past few years are extremely critical for us, even the turning point of the gap between the strength of the big man and the big man! "

"Lei Gong's sending troops to Xiliang can be said to be a strategic defeat. He not only used up his strength in Xiliang, but also gave us a chance to survive this drought! What we have to do now is to use Xiliang The longer the army drags this world, the better!"

Ju Shou also said: "This year's drought has severely damaged Guanzhong. If we send troops to Xiliang, it is easy to attract Lei Gong to Guanzhong. Even if Guanzhong is dilapidated, it is not comparable to the barren Xiliang, especially the construction of powerful water conservancy facilities Even the desolate Mayi can be built into a rich place by Lei Gong, not to mention Guanzhong, which has the reputation of the land of abundance, if we send troops, Lei Gong will definitely attack us!"

Yuan Shao also didn't want to fight Lei Gong at this time: "We only provide food, grass and weapons, and soldiers and horses will not join the battle against Lei Gong!"

Xiliang, Anding County!

Due to the low morale of the Xiliang Allied Forces and the lack of food and grass, Ma Teng and Han Sui led all their confidants to withdraw from the entire Beidi County after discussing with each other. They planned to exchange space for time and led the army to Linjing City in Anding County. .

The ideas of Ma Teng and Han Sui are very simple. Linjing is close to Guanzhong, and only 400 miles away from Chang'an City. If Yuan Shao really supports them, it is so close to receive Yuan Shao's food and supplies. If Yuan Shao refuses To support them, they will lead Lei Gong's army into Guanzhong, and everyone will fight in Guanzhong, so maybe they can still escape!

Fortunately, it was a good move for them to retreat to Anding County. Although Xu Wei got Beidi County without a single soldier, he also got tens of thousands of refugees. Anding County was originally Han Sui's territory. Before that, he almost robbed all the food and grass of the people here, and told them: "If you want to survive, go to Lei Gong. Lei Gong has millions of grains, and everyone asks Lei Gong for food!"

Han Sui was very proficient in this action of harming others and benefiting himself. Not only did he collect 30 shi of grain in Beidi County, but also when Xu Wei led the army to Anding County, he immediately encountered these hungry and half-dead victims!
Of course, Xu Wei didn't want to ignore these victims. He could only take out the army's rations to help the victims, and at the same time organize them to reclaim wasteland and build water canals.

Xu Wei can also see that in this chaotic world with abnormal climate, everything is imaginary, as long as food is real, no matter how bad the environment in Xiliang is, and no matter how low the food production is, he must find a way to grow food. Otherwise, everyone will not be able to survive!
In order to resettle these victims, Xu Wei, who was killed by the experienced Wang Guojun, became the prefect of Beidi County and asked him to take care of these victims!
After Xu Wei's army stayed in Beidi County for 10 days, they continued to march towards Anding County!
Ma Teng and Han Sui's morale has recovered a lot after more than ten days of rest. The most important thing is that Beidi County was their own territory before, and rabbits didn't eat the grass beside the nest, but now Han Sui eats the grass beside the nest. Yes, the Xiliang coalition forces were originally an alliance of robbers. If they couldn't grab anything, their morale would naturally be low, but after a random snatch in Beidi County, the morale of the coalition forces finally recovered, and Zhang Yun supported 10 shi of grain and 1 sets Weapons and armor, let everyone finally have the confidence to deal with Lei Gong.

After Ma Teng got this batch of grain, he used his prestige among the Qiang people to recruit more than 3 Qiang cavalry in Xiliang.With the addition of these Qiang people, the strength of Ma Teng's Xiliang coalition army expanded to 6 again!
This number gave Ma Teng great confidence. He admitted that the Dagan army was well-equipped and powerful in combat, but Lei Gong was too confident that he actually handed over his main force to Wang Lei, but he only led 2 cavalry to chase them.Now they have the advantage of three times their strength, why can't they fight!
So Ma Teng approached Han Sui and said: "Lei Gong is arrogant and arrogant. The 10 army is divided into three groups. Although it can surround us, it agrees to give us a chance to defeat each of them. Although Wang Lei's right army has captured Jincheng County and entered Longxi County, but they are still 600 miles away from Anding County, and Wang Lei's left army has just entered Sanshui, and it is more than 500 miles away from Linjing. Lei Gong's 200 troops have already passed Yiju County, not far from us After a distance of [-] miles, it is obvious that Lei Gong's headquarters has gone deep alone. If we take the initiative to attack Lei Gong and have a beheading battle, as long as Lei Gong dies, there will only be Lei Gong, a three-year-old child, who will not be able to guard Lei Gong's family business. At that time, Wang Lei We must go back to Hebei to fight for power and profit, and Daqian is certain that the other two groups will collapse without a fight!"

Han Sui looked at the map and thought, if he could stay in Xiliang, he definitely didn't want to go to Guanzhong to be Yuan Shao's younger brother.He was considering whether the 6 cavalry in Xiliang could defeat Lei Gong, and even behead Lei Gong on the spot. They couldn't kill Lei Gong, even if they defeated Lei Gong's army, they would not be able to change their fate of defeat!

Han Sui also knew the power and record of the Great Iron Cavalry. He defeated hundreds of thousands of Han troops twice. Lei Gong defeated more than one million enemies in these years. Even Han Sui had to admire such a record. For thousands of years in China Only Tu Baiqi in the Warring States period, Wang Jian who destroyed the Six Kingdoms, and Han Xin, the soldier fairy of the former dynasty, have such a record. It is not an exaggeration to say that Lei Gong is the number one famous general in the world!Such a famous general should not be underestimated even if he only has [-] troops in his hands!
However, their Xiliang iron cavalry is also a soft persimmon. The hundred years of turmoil in Xiliang has given these common people a certain degree of military skills. It can be said that the best soldiers of the Han Dynasty are in Xiliang. Not too much!

The officers of the Xiliang Army have more experience in warfare, and the grassroots soldiers have even practiced the ability to kill people in such a Gu farm. It is also the reason why Beigong Boyu rebelled, even with Huangfusong, the number one general of the Han Dynasty, and the elite Han Central Army, it was difficult to suppress it!
The Qiang cavalry are able to gather together, scream to scatter, cunning like a fox, cruel like a wolf, and fearless of death. These are the advantages of the Qiang cavalry, and the most important point is that human life is worthless in Xiliang. Buy and sell for them just for a few bags of grain. As long as you can win the battle and take the Qiang people to grab it, the Qiang people will recognize you and submit to you. This is also why Xiliang only has a registered population of more than 60, but it can pull out more than a dozen at every turn. The reason for Wan Dajun!Because there are millions of Qiang people joining behind them!

After thinking for a long time, Han Sui said firmly: "We must fight this battle! Even if we can't kill Lei Gong, we must wipe out Lei Gong's troops!"

In September, Ma Teng and Han Sui took their [-] cavalry and set the Qiang battlefield in a relatively wide valley in Wangyue Valley outside Linjingcheng. This was the battlefield specially selected by Ma Teng and Han Sui. The terrain is not only suitable for cavalry to charge, but also easy to surround Lei Gong's army!
But this is also in line with Xu Wei's opinion. He even thinks that Ma Teng and Han Sui are seeking their own death. Originally, their cavalry was scattered, and it was difficult for Xu Wei's artillery to fully exert its power, but now they set the battlefield in the valley , which is naturally suitable for artillery to exert its power!

Both sides felt that this battlefield was beneficial, so the two sides led their armies to confront each other in this valley!
Ma Teng and Han Sui are in the army at this time!

Han Sui said loudly: "Lei Gong, it was wrong for us to attack Bingzhou, but now half of the land in Xiliang has been occupied by you, and you have killed more than 2 of our army. Why do you want to kill them all? We are just a group of people." For the life of the poor man!"

Xu Wei laughed when he heard Han Sui's words that turned black and white: "Han Sui, you were once a famous man of the Han Dynasty, but now you can say such robber words. It is obvious that you attacked Bingzhou and killed hundreds of my subordinates. You still want to say that you are a victim, it seems that you have been taught badly by these horse thieves!"

Wang Dang mocked loudly: "Now Han Sui is the biggest horse thief leader in Xiliang, how can anyone else teach these things!"

This Ma Teng said loudly: "Lei Gong, don't think that you are invincible after you have won battles for several years. This is because you have not met our Xiliang cavalry. Since you don't know good and bad, I will let you see me today." The power of Xiliang cavalry!"

After speaking, Ma Teng and Han Sui returned to their army formation!

Xu Wei sneered and said, "Let me see how powerful your Xiliang iron cavalry is!"

Ma Teng pointed his spear at Xu Wei and said, "Everyone charge, kill Lei Gong!"

The subordinates behind him also shouted wildly: "Kill Lei Gong!"

Ma Chao, Pang De, Ma Dai, Liang Xing, Hou Xuan, Cheng Yin, Li Kan, Zhang Heng, Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, Yang Qiu, Yan Xing, and Cheng Gongying each took Xiliang iron cavalry and rushed towards Xu Wei. Under the leadership of these generals, 6 cavalry became ten long dragons and rushed over!
But Xu Wei put his artillery troops at the forefront of the army. There are 50 10-jin bronze cannons, 200 flying thunder cannons with a range of two hundred steps, and hundreds of new rocket launchers. These artillery are lined up , and the artillery is nervously installing shells!

This action of the Grand Army has aroused the vigilance of Ma Teng and the others. They have heard of the power of the artillery, but they have never seen it. After thousands of miles of rumors, the legend of the artillery has been exaggerated hundreds of times. What a bombardment For tens of miles, Huangfusong can be wiped out hundreds of thousands of Han, and Lei Gong's artillery can be fired from Jizhou to Luoyang City, etc. Exaggerated words, this naturally aroused Ma Teng's suspicion, Lei Gong's artillery is really so powerful, then The big man's world has long been his.

Therefore, Ma Teng and others did not believe in the power of the artillery, and even because of these exaggerations, they underestimated the artillery, thinking that it was Lei Gong who was intimidating the Han army!
So after Ma Teng and the others saw the artillery, they didn't care and continued to charge forward!

But after the Xiliang army entered the range of the 1 mile artillery!
Xu Wei commanded loudly: "Fire!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Fifty 50-jin shells rushed towards Ma Teng's army at the speed of sound!

"Boom boom boom!" The artillery shells smashed into the army, Ma Teng's charging army suddenly turned upside down, and hundreds of cavalrymen were beaten to pieces!

The power of the artillery frightened the entire Xiliang army. Although the power is not as strong as in the legend, it is not considered weak. It can even be said that Ma Teng and the others have seen the most powerful weapon. It can shoot farther than the bed crossbow. , powerful!

However, Ma Teng could bear the injuries of hundreds of people!
He continued to command: "Continue to charge and kill the Dagan army!"

Only then did Ma Chao and the others realize that as long as they rushed into the army formation, the artillery would not be able to exert its power!
So they led the army to move on, even though they were hit by another round of artillery, they also accelerated to charge towards the main army!
When Ma Teng's cavalry entered the 200-step range!
Xu Wei shouted again: "Flying thunder cannon, bazooka, shoot!"

"Puff puff!"

"Shhhhhh!"

200 explosive packs weighing tens of kilograms, and hundreds of rockets filled with 50 kilograms of black powder were launched into the air at the same time, and plunged into the charging Xiliang army!
"Boom boom boom!"

Nearly tens of thousands of catties of black powder were released on this 200-step battlefield almost at the same time!

The shock wave generated by the explosion almost swept across the entire battlefield. The Xiliang iron cavalry charging at the front was almost wiped out. Even Ma Teng disappeared. The horses and soldiers behind were also frightened by the terrifying power. Also unwilling to charge, this kind of weapon beyond everyone's three views, makes the whole battlefield quiet!
But the cavalry in the rear couldn't stop their charge, and the two sides collided, so that before Dagan attacked, the formation of the Xiliang coalition army was already in chaos!

But Xu Wei didn't wait for their reaction, and continued to command: "Flying Thunder Cannon and Rocket Launcher advance 50 steps, speed up filling, and continue to attack indiscriminately!"

The Xiliang coalition forces dared not go up, so he directed the artillery to advance!
After the soldiers of the Artillery Battalion advanced 50 steps, after filling the ammunition command, Xu Wei shouted loudly: "Flying Thunder Cannon, rocket launch!"

"Puff puff!"

"Shhhhhh!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Another bombing of nearly [-] catties of black gunpowder turned Xiliang soldiers on their backs, and the whole upper valley was filled with the neighing of war horses and the wailing of wounded soldiers!These two waves of bombing alone caused thousands of casualties to the Xiliang coalition forces!
At this time, Han Sui realized that the artillery was so terrifying that no manpower could resist it!However, Ma Teng led the generals of the Xiliang Army to charge at the forefront, which caused the generals of the Xiliang Army to suffer heavy losses in the first wave of bombing, and even Ma Teng himself had no bones left. Now the entire Xiliang Army is in chaos. .

Han Sui immediately shouted: "Everyone retreat!"

Even without Han Sui's order, the Xiliang Allied Forces had been stunned by the power of the artillery, and the soldiers behind turned their horses to prepare to flee. At this time, Ma Teng and the others chose the terrain of Shanggu as a self-inflicted disaster, which is not considered spacious at all. The place was instantly congested because of escaping.

Xu Wei said immediately afterwards: "Soldiers, rush up and wipe out the Xiliang army!"

Wang Dang and Xu Wei shouted loudly from behind: "Wipe out the Xiliang army!"

Seeing the morale boost of the chaotic Xiliang army, the entire army of soldiers also said: "Will wipe out the Xiliang army!"
