Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 322 Breaking out at night...?

For this Wudu County attack, Ma Chao had already made a plan in his mind.

The primary goal is to rely on the suddenness of the attack and the mixture of true and false information to undermine the enemy's morale and psychology.

The best result is like Hechi County, where the opponent surrenders without any bloodshed.

In fact, if the governor of Wudu was not Yang Fu, he might have been suddenly attacked by the Han army at this time, and if he heard the news of Liu Bei's large-scale Northern Expedition, he might have surrendered like a river pond at this time.

It's a pity that Yang Fu is not only a tough guy, but also has a mortal enemy with Ma Chao. It is absolutely impossible to surrender now.

Ma Chao can follow a traditional siege and order the next group of people who are ready to come forward and continue to knock on the door.

The Han infantry was ordered to continue climbing the city wall to put pressure on the defenders from other directions.

But he didn't know how long it would take for the enemy's city gate to be knocked open, and what was going on behind the city gate.

The hatred for Yang Fu did not blind the eyes of the current Han Hussar General. Although he wanted to rush into the city and cut Yang Fu into pieces, he did not want to exchange for a tragic victory.

"The Han Dynasty has a limited population. If you want to leverage the behemoth Cao Wei, you have to make careful calculations. Even if you are not afraid of death, you must die in a place of sufficient value."

——This is what the prince said when he was chatting with him, and Ma Chao deeply believed it.

Xiabian, and even the entire Wudu, had not yet been placed in the eyes of Ma Chao, who was marching to the northwest again.

This is not the end of his battle. He will use a beautiful victory to let the entire northwest know that Ma Mengqi is back!
The next day.

Ma Chao's army camp.

"You lead your troops to besiege the city here. Send people from all directions to guard the city day and night. Don't let anyone go."

In the Han army's tent, Ma Chao warned his marching Sima.

"Yes, general, please rest assured, my subordinates know."

"Before I return, please do not attack the city without authorization. If the siege force is severely damaged, you will be the only one to ask!" Ma Chao said in a serious tone.

Marching Sima clasped his fists and lowered his head: "Yes, I will definitely act with caution."

After Ma Chao arranged the military affairs, he left the main infantry to continue the siege of the city, while he led his own soldiers and hundreds of cavalry and left the camp in a swagger.

Yang Fu and other defenders all saw Ma Chao's move of leaving the camp with his troops, but he had nothing to do about it.

With the few men under his command and his martial arts skills, a sneak attack out of the city would simply lead to death.

After a wave of attacks and defenses on the first day of the siege, although the defenders under his command did not suffer any actual casualties, the dangerous defensive process on his side still caused a big blow to the momentum of the defenders.

Not everyone wants to live and die with Xia Bian like Yang Fu.

If Ma Chao hadn't really had a bad reputation and the prefect had a grudge against him, they would probably have been massacred after breaking the city, and some people would have wanted to surrender.

"Your Majesty..." Yang Fu's Wudu said with great concern, "If Ma Chao tries a little bit of testing today, we will almost defeat the city..."

"Huh?" Yang Fu stared with blood-red eyes, "Do you want to surrender that thief?!"

Don't take a peek at the hilt of Yang Fu's tightly clenched sword, his heart trembled, and he smiled bitterly: "Ma Chao has always had a vicious reputation, how can he survive if I surrender him?"

Seeing that he didn't seem to want to surrender, Yang Fu became calmer and relaxed his hand holding the sword slightly.

"Your Majesty, there is Yinping in the west of Wudu and Qishan Castle in the north. It is impossible for Ma Chao to come alone. I'm afraid what he said before is true..."

Yang Fu stared at him and said calmly: "So what?"

"Hi." Wudu Biejia took two steps forward and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, I am a noble man who has always cherished the ambition to serve the country. Even if I die today, what do I have to fear? How can I surrender to that shameless person? !”

Only then did Yang Fu's expression completely relax, he let go of his hand and sighed softly: "Oh, it's a pity that not everyone thinks like you and me."

He was also aware of the pessimism that pervaded his corporals.

Nabiejia hurriedly said: "The current low morale is because the soldiers thought that the reinforcements had been cut off. We are trapped in the city and know nothing about the outside world. The soldiers will not be able to hold on for long without hope.

"Why don't we send someone to sneak out of the city at night to investigate the current situation. If what Ma Chao said is untrue, we can bring in reinforcements in time! Even bringing back real news will definitely boost morale."

When Yang Fu heard this, he was also a little moved.

Seeing his hesitation, Don Jia said with a serious look on his face: "If the reinforcements are really cut off, and both directions have fallen... Go out of the city to explore and return, you can also deceive the soldiers that reinforcements are coming, and let them follow us to defend!"
"Even if the Marquis of Sheyang Ting (Guo Huai) is blocked and holds on desperately, he may not be able to delay the arrival of reinforcements from General Zhang from Guanzhong!"

Yang Fu said with an moved expression: "What you said is true. Yang Fu was so angry that he almost missed the important event... But there are Han troops outside. They will escape death. Who is worthy of this responsibility?"

Biejia cupped his fists and said sternly: "I have made you the capital of Wudu, Biejia. I have always been grateful for your kindness and have nothing to repay. I am willing to lead more than ten men who dare to die and leave the city at night. I will definitely fight my way out of the siege if I go there." I'll betray you!" "Sir!" Yang Fu held his hands passionately, "Take care!"

"Take care, sir, and wait here for good news. I'm going... away!" After saying that, he stood up and left. His back was determined, as if he had regarded death as home.

That day he picked more than ten brave soldiers, each picked a fast horse, and prepared dry food for ten days.

When the sun set and the night grew darker, under Yang Fu's moved gaze, the group opened the door slightly and sneaked out in the dark.

After Wudu left the city, he led his people to the northwest and rushed at full speed!
As long as you avoid the Han army camp in front of you, you can take the small road to Qishan Mountain. Even if Qishan Fort is really surrounded by the main force of the Han army, you can continue to go north along the small road.

Bypassing Qishan Fort and turning northeast, you will be safe when you reach Shanggui City!

Galloping at full speed at night is much more dangerous than driving at night in later generations.

The torches in their hands couldn't shine too far, but they didn't care about that many at this time. It was important to escape before the Han army found out.

"Hey, you old man wants to hang on so much, then just go die on your own, I haven't lived enough yet!"

Wudu Biejia, who was riding out of the city, had a disdainful sneer on his face, whipped his horse, and shouted in a low voice: "Drive!"

He is still young and powerful. Even if he loses his wife and children in the city, he has food and money and still worries about not having a wife and concubines?It will be regenerated then.

You have a grudge against that Ma Chao, but I don’t, so why should I pay you to die together?

Loyalty... Compared with one's own life, loyalty is nothing!

Only a madman would go back.

woo-

However, at this moment, a horn sounded.

Then many torches were lit up in the Han camp, making the camp look like daylight!
"The enemy has broken through! Meet the enemy, meet the enemy quickly!"

As shouts rang out, the soldiers who were waiting in the barracks immediately rushed out with weapons in hand.

After Ma Chao left, his marching commander divided the soldiers into three groups according to the order.

The group with the smallest number of people takes turns to stay on duty at night. Some soldiers can sleep, but they need to keep their soldiers and armor in their hands.

Most of the remaining soldiers could sleep peacefully, and the three groups were rotated every day to increase the speed of response to situations.

The torches of Wudu Biejia and others were extremely conspicuous in the dark night, and they were discovered by the Han army on duty not long after leaving the city.

It was just a blind act. The Han army did not know how many troops came out of the city. The marching Sima, who was afraid of making a mistake, immediately ordered an interception and encirclement!

He even ordered the general to launch a crossbow. This thing has a far enough range and scatters ten arrows. If he is lucky, it should be able to cause considerable damage to the "big army" of enemy troops.

After hurriedly loading the crossbow with arrows, the Han army fired in the direction of the moving torch without saying a word!
They even adjusted the angle and direction based on their previous experience.

Although Wei Yan and Ma Chao's Hanzhong Army were not as elite as the Red Star Army, they were both good at leading troops, and the quality of their soldiers was definitely not bad.

Bang-!
Several serial crossbows roared and fired out special thick crossbow arrows, and dozens of crossbow arrows immediately flew into the darkness.

There seemed to be the sound of people shouting and horses neighing in the distance.

The marching Sima did not dare to be careless and immediately ordered the troops to encircle and suppress them, and fired two more rounds of shooting on the way.

He was afraid of falling into the enemy's plan of attacking from the east and attacking from the west, so he ordered the camps in other directions to stay in place.

Anyway, even if the enemy army comes out in full force, as long as the people don't rush out together, there will only be a few hundred soldiers. In a field battle, these people are enough to deal with it.

As a result, when the overly cautious Marching Sima led his soldiers forward to investigate, the sight in front of him left him speechless.

The area surrounded by the Han army was littered with less than thirty corpses...and half of them were horses.

Some of the horses that were not hit by the repeating crossbows but were hit by ordinary crossbow arrows were still lying on the ground neighing in pain because of their strong bodies.

As for the dozen or so people... they were all hit by several arrows and were very cold.

The most unlucky thing was Wudu Bujia. At this time, his head was opened and half of the top of his head was missing. His face was unrecognizable... It was obviously unfortunate that he received a series of crossbow arrows with his head.

Now, he really would never have to go back to Xia Bian again...
