Three Kingdoms: Many children, many blessings, create eternal destiny!

Nieyang County.

The county had already received the notice.

But they didn’t take it seriously.

It’s said to strengthen defense, but where does the money and food come from?

Without money and food, there is no way to strengthen defense.

If Gu Changan’s army arrives, the worst possible outcome is to close the city and defend it.

If you can’t hold it, open the door and surrender!

The officers guarding the city had no intention of attacking Gu Changan.

But Ma Chao, who was lurking nearby, would not act according to the ideas of Nieyang County officials.

At this time, outside Nieyang County, in the mountains and forests about ten miles away.

5,000 Xiliang light cavalry are already hiding here

“General, please report back!”

A fast horse came quickly, and a soldier was brought to Ma Chao.

“It has been proven that Yuan Shu’s army is indeed divided into five groups!”

“Ji Ling, as the commander-in-chief, leads the troops all by himself!”

“Chen Lan, Qiao Rui, Lei Bo, Le Jiu, Li Feng, Liu Xiang, Liang Gang, and Xun Zheng, form a team of two, each leading an army of troops!”

“Yuan Shu went on this expedition with a total of 150,000 troops, and each route had about 30,000 troops!”

“In addition, there are about 50,000 garrison guards in various cities in Nanyang County!”

“laugh!”Ma Chao couldn’t help but be shocked!

“The troops were actually divided into five groups. What did Ji Ling think?”

“I heard that Yuan Shu personally ordered Ji Ling to arrange the troops and horses in this way!”Tanma Shisou said.

“Fine!”Ma Chao curled his lips.

“Quickly report this news to General Gao Shun in the army!”

“promise!”The scouting soldiers immediately bowed and left.

Ma Chao still couldn’t believe it.

He shook his head and said to himself:”The soldiers are divided into five groups. There are not many people in each group. Isn’t it just right to defeat each one!”

“Forget it, it’s none of my business, I want to capture this city now!”

Ma Chao looked in the direction of Niyang County.

Ma Chao didn’t know why Niyang County was so important.

However, Li Ru told Ma Chao.

We must use the fastest speed to capture the city as quickly as possible.

So, even if you are high Shun’s army had just left Wuguan.

The 5,000 cavalry led by Ma Chao had quietly appeared near Niyang County.

After a while, several scouts dressed as locals entered the forest and appeared in front of Ma Chao.

“Tell me, what is the situation in Nieyang County now? Ma Chao asked.

Several scouts quickly said what they had observed.

“General, Niyang County has been prepared for a long time, but the city gate was not closed during the day!”

“Whether it is the soldiers guarding the city gate or the soldiers on the city wall, the number is not small, but they are not elite, nor are they alert enough!”

“The situation in the county is not bad, there is no panic about an imminent war!”

“I’m afraid their source of information is that the army has just left Wuguan!”

Several scouts were all talking.

They explained the situation in Niyang County clearly.

The simple drawings including the terrain were also drawn clearly.

Ma Chao waved his hand.

All the soldiers and scouts around him left, leaving only Pang De. Beside him.

Ma Chao looked around carefully and after confirming that there was no one else except Pang De, he took out a map from his pocket. This map was a very detailed map of Nanyang County.

The ones on the white silk can be said to be extremely precious, including the height of the city gate, the size of the city wall, the location of the government offices, the location of the treasury, and the location of the military camps..

They were all drawn clearly and clearly.

It was as if someone had seen Niyang County from high in the sky.

Ma Chao checked the map with the information reported by the scouts one by one.

He was surprised to find that on this map, in addition to Except for the error in estimating the number of troops.

In other respects, the information provided by the scouts was more accurate.

“If you need to attack the city as soon as possible, you can catch the defender by surprise!”Ma Chao said to Pang De.

Pang De just looked at the markings on the map with Ma Chao.

Pang De looked at Ma Chao and said

“Although alert, the defense is very loose and only a few people can control the city gate!”

“You can let Bubazi disguise himself as a hunter and bring the hunting beasts into the city!”

“At the city gate, take the opportunity to control the city gate!”

“In addition, we will arrange for people to meet them. We will wait for the city gate to be captured and then attack quickly!”

“However, we are too far away from the county seat now, so we need to be careful when approaching!”

“I suggest approaching the county quietly at night and hiding in the mountains and forests near the county!”

“Taking advantage of the opening of the city gate in the morning, they stormed into the city and quickly occupied the entire county!

Ma Chao thought for a while, nodded and said,”That’s it!””

Although Ma Chao brought 5,000 Xiliang troops as the vanguard, there were still a small number of Bubazi, trap soldiers and crossbowmen in his team.

They were all selected from among them who had superb riding skills.

Sure enough, he sent them now It came in handy.

Bubazi were all hunters in Hengshan.

Letting them pretend to be hunters was simply based on instinct.

Ma Chao quickly selected seven or eight people from Bubazi.

They all had very honest and simple faces. , and he was not tall either.

It was late at night.

At midnight,

Ma Chao led his troops, with their men holding trophies, horses holding their mouths, and horses binding their hooves.

They approached the county seat quietly and stopped in the forest that had been selected near the county seat..

Everyone slept in place and had no time to set up camp.

The next day, it was dawn.

All the soldiers got up. They checked the horses, checked the equipment, replenished food, and quietly waited for the opportunity to come.

Seven infantrymen disguised as hunters Ba Zi, carrying their prey, mixed with a group of villagers selling vegetables and firewood who were preparing to enter the city.

There were also some crossbowmen mixed with a group of coolies.

Everyone was waiting for the county city gate to open.

These guarding the city gate The soldiers probably had no idea that danger was right next to them.

Even the guards of Niyang County would not have thought that Ma Chao would actually run a long distance to attack.

Soon the gate of the county town was opened.

The people waiting at the door were in an orderly manner. Entering the county.

Everyone entering the county must pay the city gate tax.

Soon it was the turn of the Buzi disguised as hunters.

The Buzi attracted the attention of the guarding soldiers.

Several soldiers gathered around.

It was not. There is something suspicious about Bubazi.

It’s that the prey they hunted was relatively abundant, and these soldiers wanted a share of the pie.

While they were pushing and shoving, seven Bubazi disguised as hunters suddenly burst out.

Their hands With the sword raised and dropped, these soldiers were all wiped on their necks.

The scene was filled with screams.

There was chaos at the city gate.

Seven pacesmen rushed directly towards the city gate.

Several guards poked out from above the city wall. The soldiers of the city opened their bows and arrows.

But before they could shoot the bows and arrows, several crossbow arrows were nailed to them.

The crossbowmen disguised as coolies pulled out the crossbows from the vine baskets and started shooting.

As soon as the action started here, a cavalry team rushed out from the mountains and forests near the county seat.

Seven infantrymen controlled the city gate and cooperated with the crossbowmen to guard the city gate.

Then a large number of soldiers and horses surged in.

Nirvana In this way, the defenders of the Yang Army were defeated by the light cavalry of the Xiliang Army.

The defenders of Niyang County did not resist, but fled towards Wancheng with the remaining soldiers.

This time, Ma Chao had a time lag due to his long-distance attack.

He barely exerted his strength and occupied Niyang County.

There were not even many casualties.

After Ma Chao attacked Niyang County, he asked his soldiers to shout, and Qiu did not commit any crimes.

He and Pang De quickly began to strengthen the city defense.

At this time, Gao Shuncai Just after leaving Wuguan, there was no guarantee that the defenders of Nanyang County would not come to counterattack Niyang County.

Therefore, they leaned in the direction of Wancheng in Niyang County.

They set up sentries, dug traps, and hoarded defensive supplies.

Ma Chao and Pang De were ready. The worst plan.

But what they never expected was that the Niyang County garrison who retreated from Wancheng exaggerated the strength and ferocity of Ma Chao’s troops.

Zhang Xun, who received the news, was shocked.

Niyang County did not look like it. Although it is inconspicuous, it is a very important position.

As long as Gao Shun occupied Nieyang County.

Regardless of future wars.

Even if he fails, Gao Shun can retreat to Wuguan from here.

You can also retreat southward towards Liu Biao in Jingzhou.

As long as Gao Shun establishes a foothold here, he can conquer various counties in Nanyang.

Niyang County is a position where you can advance, attack, retreat and defend.

Unexpectedly, Nieyang County was easily defeated by Gao Shun’s army.

Ma Chao and Pang De were afraid that the defenders of Nanyang County would counterattack.

Don’t you know that the defenders of Nanyang County are also afraid that Ma Chao and Pang De will continue to attack.

Due to the original garrison of Niyang County, Ma Chao and his huge military strength were exaggerated.

Therefore, Zhang Xun thought of strengthening the defenses of other cities instead of counterattacking.

At this moment of hesitation.

Gao Shun’s army also entered Niyang County.

Facing the menacing Gao Shun army.

Zhang Xun quickly informed Ji Ling.

Ji Ling quickly notified all the troops to speed up their advance.

However, Ji Ling didn’t know.

After Gao Shun and Ma Chao handed over.

Ma Chao disappeared from everyone’s sight with 20,000 Xiliang light cavalry.

The area around Nanyang County is mountainous.

However, the entire Nanyang County is very suitable for cavalry assault.

Ma Chao holds what may be the most detailed map in the world.

Not only did Yuan Shu not have the so-called geographical advantage, but he was at a disadvantage.

Moreover, Ma Chao had many cavalry.

After Tan Ma Detective Qi Sa went out, he quickly found one of the five armies.

Lei Bo and Le led a team of about 30,000 people.

They came out in great numbers from Fuyang County and arrived at Pingshi County.

This army is preparing to go around to the bottom of Nieyang County and eventually form an encirclement.

After Ma Chao found out the news, he hid in Dafu Mountain with his troops.

When Lei Bo and Le, who were not aware of it, passed by with their soldiers and horses.

Ma Chao’s 20,000 Xiliang light cavalry suddenly attacked.

The lightning-fast surprise attack directly cut Yuan Shu’s army into two pieces.

Facing the assault of Ma Chao light cavalry.

Yuan Shu’s army could not organize any resistance at all.

Lei Bo and Le ran away in embarrassment.

He was chased for hundreds of miles by Ma Chao and Pang De.

The 30,000-strong army collapsed completely on the way to defeat.

Those who die die, those who flee flee, those who surrender surrender

0 ···Asking for flowers···· ········

Wait until Lei Bo and Le escape to regroup their team.

Only then did they realize that not even one out of ten could escape with them.

The reason why these people were able to flee with them was entirely because these people were the only cavalry.

In other words, all the infantry of Zhihong’s 30,000-strong army have been wiped out.

Not that many people may have died.

However, if you escape into the mountains and forests and wait until you are regrouped, you will probably lose your combat effectiveness completely.

“Are these two people born in the Year of the Rabbit?”Ma Chao was very dissatisfied.

Pang De shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He did not expect that the two generals Yuan Shu could escape so well.

They did not even fight against Ma Chao Pang De.

As soon as he saw that the army was cut off, Ma Chao’s side They were all cavalry.

Lei Bo and Le actually turned around and ran away, leaving Ma Chao and Pang De to chase in vain.

Ma Chao and Pang De were both from Xiliang. They had grown up on horseback.

Not as good as anyone.

I didn’t expect to catch up with these two people today.

This is probably what the lord often said, human potential is endless. Lei Bo and Le have suffered heavy losses and can no longer maintain their army. They moved closer to Ji Ling.

They gathered the remaining soldiers along the way, but in the end, they didn’t gather many people.

When Ji Ling saw Lei Bo and Lejiu, who were looking down and embarrassed, he was very angry.

“What’s the use of waiting for you?”

“A total of 30,000 troops were defeated like this. Will you still lead the army?”

“Come here, behead me and show me to others, as a warning to others!”

Ji Ling was furious and shouted loudly.

Lei Bo and Le were frightened and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

The military advisers and generals also hurriedly begged for mercy.

They begged Ji Ling to give Lei Bo and Le a chance. Let them take the blame and merit meritorious service. Only the comfort of everyone allowed Ji Ling to calm down his anger slightly.

This matter was too important and the loss was too great.

Ji Ling asked that he could not afford it.

He quickly arranged for someone to inform Yuan Shu of the news.

At that time, Ji Ling faced a difficult road.

That is, there was a cavalry raging in Nanyang County.

If we continued to divide the troops into five groups, I am afraid they would be defeated one by one.

But if we did not divide the troops into five groups, it would mean As a result, Gao Shun’s army cannot be completely surrounded.

Gao Shun can advance and attack, and retreat and defend.

The battle in Nanyang is likely to enter a state of anxious delay.

The longer it drags on. Ji Ling doesn’t know whether it will be beneficial to Gu Changan. But for

Gu Changan,

It must be unprofitable for Yuan Shu.

First of all, it maintains the food and grass for so many soldiers and horses.

Secondly, Yuan Shu’s territory stretches across the southeast and borders many princes.

The longer time goes by, it is inevitable that others will see Yuan Shu’s true and false.

Only I’m afraid there will be more disputes by then…

After Ma Chao and Pang De gave up the pursuit.

They regrouped their army.

The 20,000-strong Xiliang Qingqi army never dispersed.

Their pursuit is rhythmic, one wave after another.

Therefore, many of Yuan Shu’s soldiers saw the pattern and fled towards the mountains on both sides.

However, these soldiers, without food and grass, went into the mountains and it would be very difficult for them to come back alive.

Because of this era.

Even the most ordinary village has strong folk customs.

One or two lone soldiers are the tool men who provide weapons and equipment.

“Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu’s army was so weak!”Ma Chao sighed while sitting on the horse.

“Indeed, the so-called No. 1 prince in the world does not live up to its name! Pang De also sighed with emotion.

“Are we too strong, or are they too weak? Ma Chao suddenly asked in confusion.

Pang De lowered his head and thought for a while:”Maybe we are too strong!””

“Think about it, our Xiliang Qingqi was originally selected from the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!”

“And the entire Xiliang Army, starting from the Yellow Turban Rebellion, can be regarded as an elite in hundreds of battles!”

“Right!”Ma Chao nodded.

“Yuan Shu, even during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, I haven’t heard of him having any achievements!”

“I think among Yuan Shu’s army, these soldiers may not have been in the army for a long time. If they want to become elites, they must not only train but also fight!”

“Forget it, ignore him, let’s go find Yuan Shu’s other troops!”

Ma Chao galloped his horse and raised his whip, and 20,000 Xiliang Qingqi followed him and quickly went away.

Yuan Shu’s five-pronged army.

The first one was completely eaten by Ma Chao and the others.

The remaining four can be It’s not that easy.

Now that they know that a cavalry team is active in Nanyang County, the other armies will definitely be on guard, and various reconnaissance cavalry will also attack.

In addition, they have 20,000 Xiliang light cavalry and have not prepared much food.

If they can’t find the other four armies, they will have to return to Niyang County for supplies.

Another way is for Ma Chao’s 20,000 Xiliang light cavalry to plunder Yuan Shu’s food and grass……. ps:▄█ˉ█●Please, it’s on the shelves, please subscribe, flowers, rating votes, rewards and comments!久.
