Prancing Horse Xiliang

Chapter 212
Didao, Luo Zheng's camp, the commander of the Chinese army.

Luo Zheng paced back and forth under the tent for a while, then stopped the sound of footsteps, looked around the civil and military under the tent, and asked: "This general does not want the soldiers to attack the strong city and die in vain. Do you have a clever plan to help this general?" To attack Didao?"

Jia Xu pondered for a moment, then said: "I have a plan, which may help the general to calm down Longxi."

Luo Zheng said happily: "There is a clever plan, and it will come quickly."

Jia Xu said: "If you want to break Didao, there is only deception. However, Pang De has been on the battlefield for a long time. This time guarding Didao, the general is extremely careful. Our army has lured the enemy several times, but they all saw it through. I'm afraid it won't work. I think that Ma Teng and Lu Bu are both hurting in the fight. Although they still have thousands of soldiers and horses, they are unable to take care of Di Dao. In all counties, there will be an isolated city of Didao at that time, and it can be guarded for a long time."

Cheng Ying was the first to agree and said: "This plan is very appropriate. Now that Ma Teng is lingering and Pang De is fighting alone, the food in Didao City is at most one month. As long as our army captures the other counties in Longxi, within a month, Pang De Collapse without a fight.”

Gao Shun also had this intention, heard the words and said sonorously: "The final general is willing to lead his troops to besiege the city."

Luo Zheng came back and walked for a while before he said decisively: "Good, just follow the plan of harmony."

Although a month is a bit long, it is not a big problem.

As long as the remaining counties in Longxi were captured, Di Dao would naturally fall without a fight in a month's time.

The only worry is that the situation in Liangzhou will undergo unexpected changes.

But things have come to this point, there is no other way, if you want to preserve reality and avoid the damage caused by the storming of Didao as much as possible, the only way is to follow Jia Xu's plan, first go down to the counties, and then break Didao, which is a bit like encircling the city from the countryside tactics.

If the vegetable garden is not abandoned, attacking Di Dao will naturally not be a problem.

As long as you can find a way to mix the city Didao, you can come to a center to bloom and explode from the inside.

It's a pity that the vegetable garden was upgraded, not only did it not expand, but it was abolished.

In the future, if you want to attack cities and land, it will not be so easy.

Luo Zheng looked at Gao Shun, and said: "Boping, this general will leave you with another three thousand cavalry, plus the ten thousand army of the headquarters, we must block Pound in Didao, and we must not let him escape, otherwise we will think about it again." It will be difficult to trap Pound."

Gao Shun said solemnly: "My lord, don't worry, the general will not disgrace his fate."

Luo Zheng nodded, he was still very relieved of Gao Shun.

A taciturn person like Gao Shun never seems to talk big and empty words. As long as he speaks out, he can definitely do it, which makes people feel very relieved. Unlike Yan Xing, Li Meng, Wang Fang and other generals, they will inevitably fail of recklessness.

Luo Zhengfu shouted again: "Cheng Yi listens to the order."

Shocked, Cheng Kui rushed out and cupped his hands, saying, "The end is here."

Luo Zhengdao: "Rate [-] cavalry to help Gao Shun besiege Di Dao, there must be no mistakes."

Cheng Yi said loudly: "The general will follow orders."

Luo Zheng said again: "Where is Yan Xing?"

"The end is here!"

Yan Xing strode out and stood in front of the tent.

Luo Zhengdao: "Lead [-] cavalry to capture the three counties of Heguan, Baohan, and Baishi within ten months. There must be no mistakes."

Yan Xing said emphatically, "The general will follow orders."

"Li Meng obeys orders."

"The end is here."

"Lead [-] cavalry to capture the counties of Angu, Shouyang, and Lintao within ten months. There must be no mistakes."

"The last will obey."

Luo Zheng finally said: "The rest of the generals command their own troops and horses, and follow the general to march into the military!"

"Order!"

All the generals agreed with a bang, and then received the arrow order, went out of the tent one by one, and went to order troops.

Didao, the camp of the Chinese Army.

"See General!"

A small school rushed into the commander's tent and saluted Pound.

Pound waved his hand, "Excuse me, what happened to Luo Zheng's army?"

The small colonel looked dignified, and replied solemnly: "Our army's scouts found out the news from outside the city. Luo Zhengbing split his way and went around Didao to attack the counties. Only [-] cavalry and Gao Shun's [-] troops were left to besiege Di. road."

"Is there such a thing?"

Pound's eyes froze for a moment, and his brows were deeply furrowed.

This is not good news, and it is also the situation that Pound is most afraid of.

But obviously, what Pound can think of, Luo Zheng naturally has no reason not to think of it.

Right now, Ma Teng and Lu Bu are both hurting each other. Only thousands of troops are left hiding in Long County. It can be said that it is the weakest time.

Once the remaining counties in Longxi were captured, Didao would become an isolated city.

Pound could almost predict what kind of situation he would face in a month at most.

"Go, go and see!"

Pound's thoughts changed sharply, and he immediately got up and strode out.

"Uh!"

Xiaoxiao choked, and quickly followed out.

Outside Didao City, Gao Shun's [-] troops surrounded Didao.

When Pound arrived at the north gate, Gao Shun's army was digging a trap.

The tens of thousands of troops dug a deep trench with a width of three feet, and circled around Didao.It is not difficult to imagine that Gao Shun would not just dig a trap and settle down. After these traps are dug, they will definitely be filled with sharp antlers.

Once someone stepped on the air and fell, it would be difficult not to die.

Pang De's face became extremely ugly, and he wanted to lead the army out of the city to make a surprise attack, but when he saw the three thousand Qiang Hu cavalry one mile away from You Ge, he couldn't help but give up this idea, and felt anxious for no reason.

"General, what should we do now?"

A general shouted: "Gao Shun can't be allowed to dig a good trap, otherwise, when Luo Zheng captures the rest of the counties, our army can only be like a turtle in a urn, trapped to death in Didao, and the final general is willing to lead an army Horse, attack out of the city!"

"Assault ass!"

Pound scolded irritably: "Didn't you see that Luo Zheng still left three thousand cavalrymen? When you leave the city, before you have lined up, the three thousand cavalrymen have already killed them. You just want to die, don't let his mother hurt you My general lost Didao."

The little principal said anxiously: "Then what should we do, we can't just sit and wait for death like this?"

Pang De pondered for a while, then waved his hand and shouted: "Go, call the generals to discuss the matter, and wait for this general to think about it."

Long County, Ma Teng's official residence.

"Father!"

Ma Chao rushed into the side hall and bowed his hands respectfully to Ma Teng.

"My son is free!"

Seeing his heroic son, Ma Teng couldn't help but feel much better, and a smile appeared on his face.

Although Ma Chao was seventeen years old, he was already born Kongwu and powerful, and his height had caught up with Ma Teng.

Moreover, Ma Chao's face is like a crown of jade, and the brows are full of heroism. In terms of appearance, he can be thrown out by a few blocks.

With such a child, there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.

Ma Chao said quickly: "My lord, just now the scouts sent the news from Didao that Luo Zhengping was unable to attack Didao, and now he has divided his troops into several ways to attack the other counties in Longxi, and Gao Shun led an army of [-] to besiege Didao."

Ma Teng frowned for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Did Luo Zheng divide his troops?"

Ma Chao replied, "Exactly."

"broken."

Ma Teng said with an ugly face: "Pufu Luo Zheng really has evil intentions. Right now, our army is seriously injured and its morale is unstable. It is impossible to send troops at all. The choice of Luo Zheng is really a good time. Once the rest of the counties in Longxi fall into the enemy's hands, Di Dao An isolated city can be guarded for a long time. And there is only less than a month of military rations in Didao City. Even if Luo Zheng’s son does not attack by force, Ming’s [-] troops will mutiny. Didao will break without a fight, and the entire territory of Longxi It must also be owned by Luo Zheng Xiaopi."

Ma Chao said anxiously: "Father, you can't let Luo Zheng's trick succeed!"

Ma Teng said dejectedly: "The situation in Hanyang is not stable right now, and Lu Youbu is already dying, even if he knows what Luo Zheng's son is up to, it will be difficult to recover! Sigh, this thief Luo Zheng is really difficult to deal with."

Ma Chao said in a concentrated voice, "Why don't you ask Duan Yan for help?"

"Duan simmer?"

Ma Teng patted Ma Chao on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "My son still can't see clearly. The ancients said that it is easy to ask the gods to send the gods, but if you invite Duan Yao's army in, it will be difficult to send them away. .”

Ma Chao was puzzled, "Why?"

"Humph!"

Pound snorted coldly, and said: "Dong Zhuo has been eyeing Liangzhou, but he has no power to plot. First there was Luo Zheng, then there was Lu Bu, but he wanted Liangzhou to get better and better, so he could take the opportunity to plot Liangzhou. Duan What is the purpose of Yan leading an army of [-] to guard Chang'an? Isn't it just to plot Liangzhou, my son, think about it!"

"This……"

Ma Chao was speechless for a moment, and his face turned ugly.

Ma Teng walked back and forth a few steps, gritted his teeth sharply, and said decisively: "The only way out now is to abandon Longxi, concentrate our forces to defend Hanyang, and fight Luo Zheng'er to the death, so that we have a chance."

Ma Chao cheered up and said, "Defend Hanyang?"

Ma Teng said: "That's right, there are still [-] soldiers in Long County, plus Lingming's [-] troops, if we can borrow thousands of soldiers from the various Qiang tribes, our army's strength will be worse than that of Luo Zheng'er. Not much, it is enough to defend the two counties of Hanyang and Wudu."

Ma Chao said unwillingly: "Just give up Longxi like this, this..."

Ma Teng said decisively: "This is also a matter of no choice. The thief Luo Zheng is too treacherous, and the timing of sending troops happened to be when our army was weakest. It takes time to recruit and mobilize the army of Long County, and it is also difficult to borrow troops from the various tribes It takes time, and Long County really can't take care of it, only by abandoning Long County can we concentrate our forces and fight Luo Zhengpifu to the death."

Ma Chao excitedly said: "My boy is willing to borrow troops from the Qiangs."

Ma Teng waved his hand and said: "This time my son doesn't have to go, he can lead his father's [-] cavalry to Xiangwu first, and work together with the Xiangwu guards to cut off the main throat for Luo Zheng's son to go south, and borrow it for his father Soldiers and horses will fight Luo Zheng to the death."

Ma Fen said solemnly: "My child will obey the orders of my lord father."

Ma Teng waved his hand and said, "Go!"

Ma Chao agreed, and was about to leave when another junior rushed in with a panicked expression.

"My lord, something is wrong!"

The little school didn't have time to salute, so he hurriedly shouted to Ma Teng.

Ma Teng's face sank, and he shouted, "Why are you panicking?"

The little colonel wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, and said in a condensed voice: "A major event has happened. Our military scouts have just received news that Duan Yan personally led an army of [-] out of Chang'an, and drove straight for hundreds of miles within seven days. After leaving Chencang, they are coming to kill Benlong County."

"what?"

Ma Teng was taken aback immediately, and suddenly said: "Duan Yan has sent troops?"

The little school nodded quickly, and said, "Yes, my lord, what should I do now?"

Ma Teng was stunned, speechless for a long time.After a long while, he said sharply: "Duan Yao, you dare to take advantage of others' danger. This general did not respond to the princes of the world to raise troops to fight against him. This fellow dared to raise troops to attack. It is simply unreasonable."

Ma Chao also said with a ferocious face: "Duan Yao is just too deceitful."

Xiao Xiao repeatedly nodded and said, "Master, what should we do now?"

"How to do?"

Ma Teng roared: "Gather the army quickly and defend Long County to the death."

"Order!"

The little school quickly responded loudly and rushed out.

Ma Chao said anxiously: "My lord, Luo Zheng is raising troops to attack Long County right now, and Duan Yao is raising troops to attack again. Our army has at most eight thousand soldiers ready to fight. I'm afraid it will be difficult to defend Long County. Why don't we rely on Dong Zhuo for now, Xu Tu plan?"

"This……"

Ma Teng's face changed, and he shouted: "Shut up."

"Uh!"

Ma Chao choked, and immediately fell silent.

Ma Teng reprimanded sharply: "Dong Zhuo usurped the Han and stood on his own. He is really a great thief of the country! Although my father supported the side, but my Ma family ancestors were all the ministers of the great Han. If they defected to the national traitor, it would not be shameful to the ancestors. You are My son, how can you not know righteousness."

Ma Chaojun's face was flushed, and he bowed his head and said, "My father taught me that my son knew his mistake."

Ma Teng looked better now, and said: "Okay, you should step back first, and think about it later as a father!"

"Excuse me, baby!"

Ma Chao bowed his hands in a hurry, and retreated quickly.
