Five hundred and sixty-four bleak situation
In the end, he was more experienced, and Han Sui knew that Ma Chao might be defeated, so he led the army to support in time.
Han Sui attacked the encirclement of the Wei army from the rear in a very timely manner, and directly entered the encirclement and found Ma Chao.
Ma Chao saw a glimmer of life in despair, and suddenly burst out with a powerful force, rushing in one direction with the rest of his own soldiers.
Perhaps because the desire to survive drove his instinct, he actually really followed Han Sui to fight his way out of the encirclement, and Wei Jun was stunned that he couldn't stop these two fighters who wanted to live.
Han Sui and Ma Chao broke out of the siege of the Wei army together and fled in the direction of Chang'an.
Finding that their side could not block the breakthrough of a group of cavalry, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu were very unhappy and immediately led their troops to chase after them.
Han Sui and Ma Chao fled all the way, Cao Chun and Cao Xiu chased all the way until they could see the Chang'an city wall, and Cao Chun and Cao Xiu had to retreat because Ma Teng led the army out to respond.
Ma Teng saw that the army on his side was defeated and retreated, and immediately led the army out of the city to respond, and as soon as Cao Chun and Cao Xiu approached, they were blocked by Ma Teng's command of the crossbowmen.
Arrows rained down, the Wei cavalry lost some soldiers and horses, Cao Xiu and Cao Chun saw that the opponent's army formation had been completed, and there was no point in fighting again, so they led their troops to retreat.
Han Sui and Ma Chao escaped smoothly.
Although he was also chased by Cao Chun and Cao Xiu behind his buttocks, his soul was scattered, but in the end he still escaped victoriously.
Compared with Ma Chao's good luck, Ma Dai and Pang De are not so lucky.
Although the two also fought bravely, they were always defeated by the Wei army.
Not only was they besieged, but they were not rescued by Han Sui, and as a result, both of them were captured.
Ma Dai was younger than Ma Chao, and his strength was insufficient, so he bumped into Cao Hong, who was red-eyed, and killed all the personal soldiers around him with three strikes and five divisions, and then slashed Ma Dai with a knife.
Ma Dai parried several times in a row, his strength was exhausted, and Cao Hong slashed the weapon in his hand with a knife, kicked him in the chest, and a group of strong soldiers immediately surrounded him and suppressed him fiercely and captured him.
Pound's combat effectiveness is stronger, his strength is greater, and he is more ferocious, Zhang He and Xia Zhao can't take Pound together, and in the end, all of Pound's personal soldiers were killed, and they were robbed of their weapons by more than a dozen strong Wei soldiers, and they were fiercely suppressed under them, and they were tied up by five flowers.
Rao is like this, Pang De is still struggling desperately, the tiger roars again and again, the blue tendons in the corners of his forehead burst out, and he feels like the whole person is about to explode.
But after all, he couldn't withstand the desperate suppression of more than a dozen big men.
This is the end of this head-to-head encounter.
Including the Liangzhou soldiers brought by Han Sui to support, the Wei army basically annihilated them, and less than 3,000 escaped with Han Sui and Ma Chao, and the remaining few were killed in battle, and a large number were captured.
The Wei army won a complete victory, morale was high, and the generals were even more excited.
Pang De and Ma Dai were escorted by the excited generals to see Guo Peng, and the three who had made meritorious contributions were overjoyed, and those who did not catch the enemy general gritted their teeth and hated the enemy general for being too cunning.
Guo Peng asked Pang De and Ma Dai to report their names, and then he learned that one of the two was Pang De and the other was Ma Dai.
Liangzhou famous general Pang De, and Ma Chao's brother Ma Dai.
"Ma Chao Run?"
Guo Peng was a little surprised, and learned from Cao Chun and Cao Xiu that it was Han Sui who saved Ma Chao, and the two ran away as soon as they slipped away, leaving Pang De and Ma Dai behind, so they failed to catch Ma Chao, let alone Han Sui.
If Ma Chao and Han Sui can be caught, this battle will almost be over.
"Duke Wei, Ma Chao and Han Sui run away without harm, these two people are equally useful, the Liangzhou soldiers lost their troops and lost their generals, almost the whole army was wiped out, and the whole army must be frightened, and they dare not compete with Wei Gong, so that Chang'an City can go down in the near future, and our army can win a big victory."
Xun You came to his own conclusion, and Guo Peng also agreed with this conclusion.
So he looked at Pound and Ma Dai, and ordered Ma Dai to be locked up, leaving Pound alone.
"Han Sui saved Ma Mengqi, but didn't save you, although you fought bravely, but you followed the wrong general, are Ma Teng and Han Sui people who can achieve great things? Trapped in Chang'an, there is only a corner of Liangzhou to retreat, and I have the entire Kanto, as well as the upcoming Si Li, do you think I can win, or Ma Teng Han Sui can win? ”
When Guo Peng said this, Pound was silent.
"Ma Dai is a relative of the Ma family, I don't persuade him, your surname is Pang, not a relative of the Ma family, why should you be humiliated like this for the sake of Ma's mistakes? So that you don't feel pain, I feel worthless for you. ”
Pound bowed his head and said nothing.
"You are a strong man, brave, I don't force you, I believe that you can think, you can figure out what you should do is right, you are in my camp, watching how I completely crushed Ma Han and the two!"
The power of Guo Peng made Pound unable to refute what he said, let alone raise his head to confront him, and when talking to Guo Peng, Pound even broke out in a cold sweat.
He knew that Guo Peng didn't say anything wrong, and he didn't even doubt that with the military strength that Guo Peng showed today, he couldn't take Chang'an.
No matter how you compare, Guo Peng is more likely to win.
That night, Guo Peng ordered to collect the wounded horses on the battlefield and the dead horses, and stew horse meat to increase meat for the whole army, so as to boost morale and encourage the soldiers to make persistent efforts.
Compared with the high morale of Guo Peng's side, the situation in Chang'an City is too bleak.
Ma Chao and Han Sui were defeated and returned to Chang'an City, and they were embarrassed by the loss of their troops.
After going back, Ma Chao didn't even believe that he had escaped alive, and fled back to Chang'an City, and it took a while to confirm this fact.
Ma Teng sighed, clenched Han Sui's hand and thanked Han Sui for his kindness in leading the army to rescue Ma Chao, and then ordered Ma Chao to be relieved of his military position in public, including twenty canes, in order to punish Ma Chao for blindly advancing and disrespecting his elders.
Ma Chao was punished, but the war was not over, after the defeat of this battle, the Ma-Han coalition army completely fell into decline, and Guo Peng's side was full of morale.
"How did Guo Zifeng handle logistics? With such a long-distance march and no human population to replenish food, how did he ensure that the army would not collapse? Where did he get so much food? ”
Ma Teng's face was full of incomprehension, and his mind was full of question marks.
Obviously, Ma Teng still didn't know where he had lost.
Han Sui didn't figure anything out either.
"Well-equipped, morale is high, even the war horses are fat and strong, it doesn't look like a lack of food and clothing at all, there is no place around where you can get food for an army of 100,000 people, that is to say, Guo Zifeng's supply line was pulled directly from Luoyang to Chang'an."
Han Sui's face was full of disbelief: "Nearly eight hundred miles, how did he do it?" Could it be that the soldiers were locked up with iron cables to prevent them from escaping? ”
Both Ma and Han have such doubts.
And Zhang Ji, who was also terrified with them, suddenly thought of something.
"When I was in Hongnong before, I once heard some Jingzhou business travelers say that Guo Zifeng was in Tuntian under his command."
"Tuntian? Juntun or Mintun? ”
Marten asked.
Guo Zifeng seems to have set up some system in the local area, which is specially used for Tuntian, and also sent special personnel to govern it to ensure that the income from Tuntian is sufficient, and then all the grain obtained is stored in the government treasury for war.
Guo Zifeng's jurisdiction is so large, all of them are places with abundant population and fertile soil, and it is not difficult to harvest so much food, it is estimated that Guo Zifeng has accumulated a large amount of grain over the years, which can fully support this big war, so he has no fear. ”
Listening to Zhang Ji's words, Ma Teng and Han Sui looked at each other.
