Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 435 To seek thieves, one must plan a strategy, and to attack the enemy should be vigorous and resolute

"Fifty miles away, the Wei army's soldiers and horses cover the sky, and most of them are cavalry, well-equipped... quite like the past, quite like the old days..."

The Tan Ma was still out of breath, but he finally gave a general idea of ​​the matter.

It was just the rhetoric at the end, which seemed to make him quite afraid.

"Tiger and Leopard Rider, looks like a Tiger and Leopard Rider..."

Finally, the Tanma uttered the last sentence.

And following his words, everyone was shocked.

"what?"

The Di tribe followed Ma Chao and fought against Cao Cao. Against the Xiliang iron cavalry, Cao Cao dispatched the tiger and leopard cavalry, so... the detectives of the Di tribe could recognize the composition of this cavalry team from their costumes.

"How could it be a tiger and leopard rider?"

Lei Tong was the first to question, "Didn't the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry be buried in the Sunset Valley of Jiangxia, Jingzhou, and even its commander Cao Chun died in Jingxiang? Where did the [-] Tiger and Leopard Cavalry come out..."

It is said to be [-], but in fact...it is impossible for Cao Xiu's entire team to be tiger and leopard cavalry.

However, there were more than ten thousand cavalry among them. After Cao Chun died, Cao Cao sent Cao Xiu to collect the remnants of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and then selected ten and centurion commanders from the barracks to re-form this tiger and leopard army. ride.

Even among them, more than half of the Southern Huns were added.

Since Cao Cao sacked Wuhuan and slaughtered Liucheng, the five Shanyus of the Southern Huns all surrendered to Cao Cao. In addition to sending Cai Wenji back to the Central Plains, they also sent Cao Cao an elite Hu cavalry for him to gallop.

And this Hu cavalry and Cao Yingzhong's elite gathered to form this brand new tiger and leopard cavalry.

The defeat in the Sanba battlefield made Cao Cao realize that the situation in central Sichuan was too late, so...he dispatched this army, and even dispatched the only commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry today-Qianliju, Cao Xiu!
Lei Tong is still emphasizing, "The tiger and leopard cavalry has been destroyed long ago, it cannot be the tiger and leopard cavalry..."

He seems to want to use this method to cheer and encourage the soldiers and horses of the Di tribe here.

Never thought about it, Ma Chao said directly, "It's not impossible! Cao thief dominates Kyushu, and if a tiger and leopard cavalry is destroyed, he can gather another tiger and leopard cavalry with a flip of his hand. Of course, we don't need to care about what they are. Legion, we only know this as an incoming enemy! We only need to strike hard."

Speaking of this, Ma Chao noticed Wang Yi who was tied up beside her. Her cheeks turned red, as if she had something to say.

Ma Chao pulled out the rag that blocked her mouth.

Wang Yi laughed loudly, "Hahahaha... the traitor Ma Chao, you can't escape... [-] heavenly soldiers are coming, I... I will watch you be crushed and ashes with my own eyes!"

In stark contrast to Wang Yi's boldness and staunchness was Cao Hong. Even after hearing that Cao Xiu led tigers and leopards to help him, Cao Hong still remained silent.

He deliberately kept silent, cherishing words like gold.

It was as if he was expecting Ma Chao to treat him as a fart and let him go inadvertently.

At this time, Ma Chao couldn't care about Cao Hong, he saw Wang Yi smiling, and he also laughed, "I was worried that Biancheng won't be safe, but now, when Cao Xiu came to the door, the general accepted it with a smile ! Just solve this problem once and for all!"

While speaking, Ma Chao waved his hand, "Put Wang Yi on the city wall, and let her open her eyes to see how this general beat up the reinforcements who rebelled against Wei!"

Speaking of this, Ma Chao's eyes narrowed, and his tone became more meticulous, "In my opinion, no matter how many Wei troops there are, they are nothing more than chickens and dogs—"

This…

Everyone was shocked by Ma Chao's words.

A fierce battle has just been fought here, and a strong enemy is pressing down on the other side. In this case...

This general Shenweitian didn't seem to have the slightest fear.

This kind of confidence infected countless people for a while.

"Walk--"

Ma Chao roared loudly.

Lei Ding hurriedly ordered: "All the soldiers of the Di tribe go to the north tower to defend the city—"

Lei Ding was giving instructions for Ma Chao.

Who would have thought that Ma Chao's words would be heard immediately after his words fell, "Lei patriarch? Who told you that this general is going to defend the city?"

what…

Lei Ding was taken aback.

But Ma Chao flicked the bright red cloak, and in just a split second, he seemed to become the God of War holding the murder weapon again, exuding bloodthirsty and killing aura.

"Pass down the general's order, and send five thousand cavalry to line up outside the city. When the army against Wei arrives, the general's iron cavalry will charge and flatten the enemy's formation—"

Ma Chao's voice seems to always carry the taste of "golden iron horse";

This is the long-lost feeling of "one shot kills one, one ride is worth a thousand" after sitting on the bench after entering Sichuan.

This pair of pride infected every Di tribe soldier present.

"Fight, fight, fight—"

All of a sudden, everyone shouted.

The sound was earth-shattering.

As if... just because of Ma Chao alone, the evil spirit of everyone here spread out and swept out in one breath.

...

...

Zhang Fei, Ma Yunlu, Ma Dai, and Wu Lan's soldiers and horses were in ambush ten miles north of Xiabian City.

At this time, a fast horse came galloping, it was Tan Ma, "Report, three generals, great joy, Xiabian City has been bravely captured by General Ma Chao and soldiers from the Di tribe!"

"Report..." At this time, another fast horse came galloping. Compared with the joy of the previous soldier, this soldier seemed extremely nervous, "Cao Xiu's [-] riders are only [-] miles away from our army!"

The news made Ma Yunlu and Ma Dai's faces pale as paper.

Especially Ma Yunlu, she is young and has experienced few battlefields. She has never seen such an urgent situation.

She couldn't help but whispered: "Cao Xiu has [-] riders? We... only have [-] riders!"

Ma Dai took a deep look at Zhang Fei, and then comforted Ma Yunlu: "I'm afraid you have forgotten that in the past, General Zhang was under the Dangyang Bridge in Changbanpo, with only a hundred riders in his hands, but he retreated a million Cao's troops with three roars." , this time... probably..."

Ma Dai didn't finish what he said, but it's interesting... he already understood it very well.

In his opinion, the strategy of the three generals Zhang Fei this time is probably exactly the same as that of Chang Banpo.

The ambush... is actually not the real purpose. The real purpose is to bluff and make Cao Xiu retreat temporarily.

In fact...

It does have this condition.

First, Shimoben Castle has been captured.

Second, there is an ambush ahead, and the authenticity is unknown.

Under such circumstances, any general who is safer will not choose to advance aggressively.

It is also based on this kind of thinking that Ma Dai feels... the battle of Xiabian is over, at least the battle in front of him cannot be fought.

Of course, this is all speculation…

"Could it be like this? Will it be Changbanpo again?" Ma Yunlu bit his lip, feeling nervous.

Ma Dai nodded heavily, "The three generals today are not inferior to the three generals in Changbanpo, right?"

With this in mind, Ma Dai's eyes fixed on Zhang Fei's cheek again.

In fact, Ma Dai's guess...was all wrong.

Indeed, his analysis was correct. With the city lost, the ambush unknown, and Zhang Fei, a famous general in Shu, a Cao Wei general would choose to focus on stability and avoid his edge.

If Zhang Fei used to be, he would think so too.

But... because of "God of War", and because of the big defeat in this battle in "God of War", there is no doubt... Zhang Fei's understanding of this battle is completely new and comprehensive.

The understanding of Cao Xiu is also "innovative".

Distinguish this battle in "God of War", Zhang Fei loses, and underestimates Cao Xiu, the leader of the second generation of Cao Wei.

In "God of War", it is Zhang Fei and Ma Chao who set up an ambush on the periphery, bluffing, while Wu Lan and Lei Tong stationed in Xiabian, trying to make Cao Xiu retreat.

Who would have thought that this Cao Xiu would not retreat but advance——

This is also the place where Zhang Fei and Ma Chao made mistakes in the story of "God of War", where they were defeated in an instant in the battle of Xiabian.

It is also based on this story that Zhang Fei has a new understanding of Cao Xiu.

This kid is brave and resourceful, and more importantly, he dares to fight. Others are afraid of ambushes, but he doesn't care so much, so he won't be bluffed by bluffs!
This kid is definitely a leader in the second generation of Cao Wei!
In "God of War", Cao Xiu is described as "riding the horse as fast as lightning, defeating the enemy in an instant"...

Therefore, he will definitely kill him.

Will!

So, what is Cao Xiu's weakness?
Based on Zhang Fei's understanding of reading "God of War" more than 100 times.

Brave and resourceful, daring to fight and fight hard, this is precisely his weakness of Cao Xiu.

Zhang Fei's bet is that Cao Xiu's army will go deep alone. He and Ma Chao will attack back and forth. The bet is whether the two of them can form a joint force to capture the thief and the king.

With this in mind, Zhang Fei's eyes became firm and decisive.

He was already somewhat looking forward to this battle that would be enough to rewrite the story of the next battle in "God of War".

What he is looking forward to more is how he and Ma Chao will achieve, Wan Jun will take the lead——

...

...

In Shuzhong, Hanzhong is on the mountain road leading to Xiabian City.

A cavalry team of 3 people is marching, and the leading general is an upright man, even though he is wearing thick armor, he can still see his lightness.

Especially the movement when holding a spear while driving a horse, it seems to be lifting weights as lightly as possible.

The soldiers and horses behind him, [-] cavalry are dressed in black armor, half of them are Han and Hu, and one of the Han is mostly equipped with heavy armor and holds a halberd. Tiger Riding";
The half of the Hu people are dressed in light armor, with the unique scimitars of the Huns on their waists. They are the "leopard" cavalry among the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Besides them, there were [-] cavalry.

A few years ago, because Cao Cao captured Yongliang, the supply of horses has always been Cao Wei's advantage.

And the soldiers recruited from Xiliang can easily be trained as cavalry, which is Cao Wei's biggest advantage.

Of course, in mountain warfare like Xiaben, the advantage of cavalry will undoubtedly be reduced.

But... because it's for help.

The adaptation of arms is important, and the speed of traveling is more important.

Cao Cao could only dispatch this most mobile cavalry army.

It is no exaggeration to say that these are the only two large-scale cavalry regiments under Cao Cao. The other one is Cao Cao's son who is conquering Xianbei in the north - Huang Xuer Cao Zhang!

"Report-"

A company of two scouts hurried over. They did not dismount when they saw Cao Xiu, but continued to march with Cao Xiu while reporting.

"The big thing is not good. In Xiabian City, the Di people rebelled. Ma Chao sneaked into the city to gather the Di people. General Cao Hong was captured. Now...Xiabian City has fallen!"

The detective's voice just fell.

No.2 explored the horse and then reported: "General, there is an ambush by the Shu army fifteen miles ahead, and the sky is full of dust and smoke. I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are?"

Shimoben Castle fell?

Is there an ambush ahead?
Two pieces of information in a row, two things, made Cao Xiu stunned for a moment. After thinking for a while, he waved his hand and ordered: "The whole army stops advancing and rests on the spot—"

"promise…"

With the passing of the messenger, the galloping legion suddenly stopped.

However, the warriors of Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were still well-trained and distributed water bags in an orderly manner. Even when drinking water, each of them looked around vigilantly, with the other hand on the saber at their waist.

Cao Xiu got off his horse...

He walked to a stone step, jumped up directly, then closed his eyes, thinking about it.

At this time, Zhang Ji, the military adviser accompanying the army, opened his mouth and said: "General, I don't know the number of enemy soldiers and horses in the ambush ahead. If you advance rashly, you may be caught in an ambush by the Shu army... Besides, Xiabian City has been lost. The situation is not in our favor. Moving forward... I am afraid that we will fall into the deep trap of a lone army."

Zhang Ji was an important minister of Cao Wei.

In the past, after the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao wanted to go north, but he had to send people to stabilize Guanzhong, so Xun Yu recommended Zhong Yao to go to Guanzhong. After Zhong Yao arrived in Chang'an, he boldly used this one.

He is Feng Yi from Gaoling. He successfully persuaded Ma Teng and Han Sui to side with Cao Cao in the battle of Cao Yuan, and persuaded Ma Teng to send troops to defeat Yuan Shao's good nephew and high-ranking officials in Bingzhou, and let Ma Teng enter As an official in the court, Han Sui sent a hostage to Xudu, so that Cao Cao no longer had to worry about going west.

After that battle, even Zhang was named governor of Yongzhou and Marquis of Wu Shiting by Cao Cao.

Before leaving, Cao Cao took Zhang Ji's hand and told him with a smile—"You have returned to your hometown to serve as the governor, so you can say that you have returned home!"

You must know that under the two great mountains of "three mutual laws" and "abolishing history and establishing animal husbandry", there are almost no people who can return to their hometown to serve as important positions such as governor and state animal husbandry.

This can also explain from the side that Cao Cao appreciates and values ​​Zhang Ji.

Today, although Cao Xiu leads the army, Zhang Ji still has a very high voice in this army.

As Zhang Ji's words came out, Cao Xiu let out a long breath with a "huh".

Zhang Ji originally thought that this young clan general should listen to his suggestion and withdraw from Hanzhong, so as to make a long-term plan...

Unexpectedly, Cao Xiu's words made Zhang Ji know him again.

"This is the bluff of the enemy!"

Cao Xiu first stated the conclusion, and then slowly explained, "If the enemy soldiers are large enough, they will all enter the Xiabian City immediately? Why lie in ambush outside? Hehe, this is because the enemy's troops are insufficient and they are trying to delay time, so they are bluffing— —”

This…

Zhang Ji was taken aback by Cao Xiu's unique insights.

For the first time, he felt that this young general from Cao Wei might be better than Cao Hong, the old general from Xiaben City.

At this moment, Cao Xiu showed his vigorous side again.

"To hunt for thieves, you must plan your strategy. When you attack the enemy, you must act vigorously. Since you know that the enemy is bluffing...then our army should rush to the next level, and take advantage of the enemy's new capture. The foothold is not stable, and we will come back in one fell swoop. When the time comes, the enemy outside the city will be defeated." The army retreats!"

Speaking of this, Cao Xiu immediately ordered, "Pass my military order, all the cavalry should march immediately and go straight to Xiabian City—"

After all, he was the first to get on the horse...

And with his movements, the entire tiger and leopard cavalry moved in unison.

The previous tiger and leopard cavalry had too much glory, but unfortunately they lost in the end, but this brand new tiger and leopard cavalry, what they want to prove is that their sharpness is not inferior to that of their predecessors.

"Ren Er and others lie in ambush among the mountains, tigers and leopards ride straight to take Xiabian, break the city, and slaughter it—"

While speaking, he was about to wave the rein...

Zhang Ji hastily persuaded, "Major General, don't think about it anymore?"

"Hahaha, what are you thinking about?" Cao Xiu laughed loudly, "Those ambush enemies must also feel that I, Cao Xiu, dare not attack, and this... is the chance to win!"

Speaking of this, Cao Xiu pointed his gun straight ahead, which was the direction of Xiabian City, and his heroic voice recited again:

"Pour all your troops, attack the enemy unexpectedly, let me kill—"

It's just that the team, which was still resting, assembled quickly.

The hooves of thirty thousand horses resounded in unison, echoing in the valley.

That sound—boom boom boom!
Earthshaking!

...

...

"Report-"

Information spread to Zhang Fei like mushrooms after rain.

Just now, Zhang Fei, Ma Yunlu, and Ma Dai found out that Ma Chao led the cavalry out of the city to form an array, as if he was going to fight the enemy in the field.

Of course, considering that both Ma Chao and the soldiers of the Di tribe are better at field battles than they are good at attacking fortifications and defending the city, there is nothing wrong with forming an array outside the city, but...

When the opponent's force is six times that of one's own, and all of them are cavalry, such a deployment seems a bit sloppy.

"Three generals, the enemy army is about to arrive at...the ambush—"

The sound of exploring the horse came out.

Ma Yunlu and Ma Dai were shocked. They didn't expect that Cao Xiu didn't choose to withdraw his troops. Instead, he went deep alone and killed him...

This…

The development of the situation made Ma Yunlu and Ma Dai feel overwhelmed.

Fortunately, they still have an ambush...

Unexpectedly, just as Ma Yunlu thought of this, Zhang Fei said directly: "Send the order, no one should act rashly, let them go—"

what…

Now, Ma Yunlu felt like crying.

If Cao Xiu's soldiers and horses were allowed to pass by, it would be equivalent to their ambush for nothing, equivalent to...his brother Ma Chao would face the charge of [-] Wei cavalry.

Now, Ma Yunlu's eyes were filled with tears. She was a woman who was fearless, but her only weakness was his brother!

They were born to one mother, and they bear the name of "concubine, concubine daughter". No one knows how hard it is for them in this land of Yongliang?

At this moment, Cao Xiu's soldiers and horses have arrived... and are fighting out from the ambush circle.

The entire ambushing soldiers and horses did not release a single arrow
With tears in Ma Yunlu's eyes, she murmured, "Three...three generals..."

Zhang Fei heard Ma Yunlu's voice, he is not good at comforting people, he knocked on the forehead, "I heard your elder brother said, you are a girl who wants to learn from your elder brother and become a general? The general shouldn't cry Nose! Haha, come on, give Brother Zhang a smile."

This…

Ma Yunlu bit his lip and was at a loss for a moment.

Zhang Fei went on to say, "I have a daughter named Zhang Xingcai, she is only five years younger than you, but she already dares to love and hate, and she won't cry like you!"

Hearing these words, Ma Yunlu suddenly stopped crying as if a kind of magic force, she stared at the cavalry team of Wei army rushing past with frowned eyes.

Ma Dai seemed to hear something different from Zhang Fei's words.

He also opened his mouth and hurriedly asked: "Third general, the last general heard... The third general got a military book from Mr. Yunqi in Jingzhou. , but... can there be such a thing!"

Ma Dai recalled the incident about Zhang Fei's strategy in the army.

He also thought of the incredible, dazzling and overwhelming actions of the third general Zhang Fei on the Sanba battlefield. He subconsciously thought of the current battlefield and also thought of the mysterious military book "Fighting the God of War".

Well…

Zhang Fei was stunned. Didn't expect "God of War" to spread among the Ma family army?
Immediately, "Hahaha..." Zhang Fei laughed, but his smile was very restrained.

While laughing, Zhang Fei said: "How can this "God of War" be compared with "Taigong's Art of War"? It is much better than "Taigong's Art of War", and that kid Yunqi is also better than Huang Shigong..."

Zhang Fei almost said that he was stronger than Liuhou Zhang Liang——

Yes, "Taigong Art of War" talks about the art of war and strategy;

But what is "God of War" about?
It is to open the eyes of the sky, it is an open-book exam, and it is to write out the enemy's every move in advance!

"Taigong Art of War" can at best increase people's intelligence;

But the red fruit of "God of War" is just cheating——

Open and hang for a while, cool for a while!

Always open and hang, always cool!
