Three Kingdoms Bandits

Chapter 1040 Nowhere to Run

Ma Chao took the Xiliang iron cavalry with him, and brought enough dry food for several days, and avoided several Xianbei Wuhuan sentry points. Now the Xiliang iron cavalry has entered the territory of Goguryeo, but they have not found any traces of the enemy.

"Brother, five days have passed, if we can't find the enemy, we have to go back." Ma Dai said.

They marched all the way, the road was not easy to walk, the most frustrating thing was that they didn't find a lot of enemies.

Some small groups of enemies, Ma Chao directly wiped out, did not encounter large groups of enemies, and they had no place to replenish their food, which was really troublesome.

You can't let the soldiers catch snow and eat it!
"Brother Dai, with His Majesty's marching speed, he must have already engaged the prairie people. What we need to do is to find their escape route to the north and intercept them first!" Ma Chao said.

This is what he planned to do when he entered Goguryeo.It's just that he couldn't figure out where the prairie people would retreat.

Will the prairie people retreat?

This is Ma Chao's trust in his soldiers!It is only natural for Wu Shun to defeat the prairie cavalry in his own conquest.

Not only Ma Chao, but even ordinary soldiers believed in this point.

"Brother, from the map, if the prairie people want to escape, they should go from here!" Ma Dai said pointing at the map.

Where they are now is a shortcut to escape to the grassland. If they intercept them here, there may be unexpected gains.

"Is there any good way to stop all the prairie people?" Ma Chao asked Ma Dai.

Ma Chao is worse than Ma Dai in terms of leading troops to charge and fight, but Ma Chao is not as good as Ma Dai in terms of strategic and tactical layout and thinking. This is why Ma Chao wants to bring Ma Dai into Goguryeo.

Without a military adviser to advise him, he can only rely on his cousin Ma Dai.

"Brother, if we want to stop all the enemies, the soldiers cannot stop them." Ma Dai said.However, after thinking about it for a long time, he saw the vast snow field stretching as far as the eye can see, and immediately had an idea.

"Brother, we can let the soldiers use snow to build sections of city walls to block the retreat of the grassland people. The snow is all white, and the snow walls cannot be seen from a distance." Ma Dai said.

"Well, that's a good way! Brother Dai, you arrange for the soldiers to do it immediately, the sooner the better!" Ma Chao has learned the essence of Wu Shun's hands-off shopkeeper thoroughly, and directly leaves this important task to Ma Dai to worry about.

"Here!" Ma Dai would not shirk.

He came up with the method, how to build the snow wall, and what effect it can achieve, he already had expectations.

Deciding to intercept the prairie people on the spot, Ma Chao ordered to set up camp.Ma Dai took a large number of soldiers out to build the wall!

Materials for building walls are everywhere. The soldiers just need to pinch a snowball in the snow and roll it around in the snow to make a super big snowball (roll)!
Rolling to the end, a big snowball needs several people to push it together!

Stack these big snowballs together according to Ma Dai's order, and a simple snow wall is built!Then the soldiers used local materials to plug the gaps between the snowballs...

Through the unremitting efforts of the soldiers, under the command of Ma Dai, sections of patchwork snow walls were erected in the snow. In just two days, the snow in front of the camp had disappeared, and the soldiers had piled it up into a snow wall.

And after the completion of the snow wall, a maze for a few dollars...

This maze has only one exit, and this exit faces the camp of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!

At night, the temperature was very low, and Ma Dai asked the soldiers to melt the snow in a pot, and then poured it on the snow wall. Because the temperature was too low, the water froze after a short time...

The wall-building movement was a complete success, and Ma Chao walked through the maze under the guidance of Ma Dai!The distance between the two snow walls was wide at first, and narrowed as they went in. When he reached the exit, Ma Chao couldn't stop laughing happily.

He could imagine what it would be like for the prairie cavalry to enter the maze!After watering the frozen snow wall, it is very strong, and the slow destruction cannot be completed all at once.

Besides, there are many snow walls, and it will take time to destroy them. With this time, it is enough for Ma Chao to dispatch troops to kill many people.

…………

Ma Chao would enter Goguryeo, but Wu Shun didn't know it beforehand. The prairie cavalry fled to the north, and Wu Shun led the troops to pursue them all the way!
Because of the fear in their hearts, the fleeing prairie cavalry lost many things along the way, and Wu Shun was not afraid of losing them.During this period, the Qilin cavalry overtook the enemy several times and gained a lot of gains.

There was heavy snow everywhere. Although the prairie cavalry were running wildly in the snow, their speed was not fast due to the difficult road. On the contrary, the Shu army following them was faster.

It's a pity that the Qilin Legion has too many infantry, and it is very difficult to chase the cavalry.Therefore, the important task of chasing the enemy lies with the Qilin cavalry and the guards.

For the sake of safety, Wu Shun followed the infantry of the Qilin Legion to act in the rear, and the Dragon Spear Guards accompanied him to protect him. Of course, the commander of the imperial guards, Qu A, also stayed to protect Wu Shun.

After chasing and fleeing, the prairie people can only escape along the nearest road!Only by returning to the grassland they are familiar with can they choose a good place to fight the Shu army.

The only commendable thing about the prairie cavalry today is that their riding skills are really good. After running for so many days, they look like nothing.

You must know that the heavy armor of the imperial guards has been removed a long time ago, otherwise they would not be able to catch up with the enemy!

…………

The escape route of the prairie cavalry was similar to Ma Dai's analysis. The prairie cavalry, who had no will to fight at all, put their heads together and moved forward, regardless of what was ahead.

"Brother, the prairie people are here!"

Through the observation hole left on the snow wall, Ma Dai saw the enemy running in the distance!
"Pass the order, the Xiliang iron cavalry will immediately prepare the army for battle!" Ma Chao was also unambiguous, and directly issued an order.

The Xiliang cavalry has traveled so far and endured so much hardship, all for the sake of becoming famous today, making the Xiliang cavalry spread throughout the world again.

"what is this?"

The prairie cavalry running at the front noticed a snow wall not far ahead, blocking their way.In their memory, there should have been nothing here.

"There is a gap over there, let's go!"

The prairie cavalry didn't have time to think too much, their conditions did not allow them to hesitate too much.

In this way, the vanguard of the steppe cavalry entered the rear of the first snow wall.

"There is another gap, go this way!"

The prairie cavalry ran in the maze, and the more they ran, the more frightened they became. Why are these snow walls everywhere.

Zhao Yun, who was chasing behind, saw the vast snowfield where the prairie people suddenly disappeared, and was anxious, so he hurriedly ordered the army to join the advance.

But when a battle flag appeared in the snowfield ahead, Zhao Yun didn't worry anymore!
Because that flag belongs to Xiliang cavalry.Ma Chao was in front, and he seemed to have arranged something extraordinary. From Zhao Yun's point of view, these prairie cavalry had nowhere to escape this time!
