Cavalry rescue

Hearing Ma Sanbao's answer, Chai Shao nodded, thought about it and frowned again and said, "Send a few more teams of scouts, with a range of fifty miles."

Although Ma Sanbao was a little puzzled when he heard this, he also turned his head and ordered him to go down. I only heard Chai Shao say again: "That Wang Jun is cunning by nature, and he is good at taking soldiers by surprise, so he has to be careful." entered the territory of Yizhou, and the whole army was on alert".

Ma Sanbao nodded admiringly when he heard this.

Entering Yizhou, looking at the more and more scattered people on the road, Chai Shao and the others were not very good.

"General, the front is full of Yizhou, do you want to fight or not?" Ma Sanbao asked, holding a long knife in his hand.

Chai Shao didn't think about it after hearing it and said: "Don't fight, go straight to Yixian to defeat Wang Junkuo's main force, the whole territory of Yizhou can be restored, if you fight for a city and a place now, not only disperse our army's already small military strength, but also give Wang Junkuo a chance to break through."

Ma Sanbao listened to it and agreed, "What the general said is very true, there are basically not many rebels stationed in the counties that have lost their land, and there is really no need to recover them, but these displaced people urgently need to be resettled."

Chai Shao thought about it, and said helplessly: "We really can't do anything about this, I will write to the saint and ask the saint to arrange it."

Listening to Chai Shao's tone, he did not regard Ma Sanbao as a domestic servant, after all, Ma Sanbao is now a general of the First Guard, and he is called a contemporary Wei Qing figure by Emperor Li Yuan.

The two were discussing the matter immediately, and suddenly, a ride flew from the north, and Chai Shao and the others looked from a distance and saw that they were scouts of their own army.

The scout galloped to Chai Shao's five paces away, and he turned over and dismounted, showing good qualities.

"General, twenty miles away, there are two armies fighting fiercely under the golden platform. One side is the Youyan rebel army, under the banner of the generalissimo's partial generals, and the other side should be the Yixian army, without the banner". When the scout dismounted, he clenched his fists and said swiftly and concisely.

Chai Shao and the others were shocked when they heard it, Yi County Army? Could it be that the Yixian army has not been annihilated yet? Chai Shao hurriedly asked, "How much is the military strength of the two sides?" How's the battle going? ”

"The number of Youyan rebels is about three or four thousand, and the Yixian army is about more than 10,000.

Those who can be scouts are not cowards, not only do they need to be outstanding in martial arts, but also have good skills. And they must also be quick in thinking and smart in their brains, just like the scouts of later generations, each of whom is the leader of the soldiers. Therefore, Chai Shao asked about the battle situation, military strength, etc., and this scout was also able to answer.

Chai Shao was taken aback when he heard it, and before he could think about it, he shouted: "Take the map." The soldiers on the side took out the map and immediately unfolded it.

Chai Shao found the location of the Golden Terrace, looked at it, and was shocked, looked at the traces on the map that represented the drop, and asked the scout: "The Golden Terrace is uneven?" Ups and downs? ”

When the scout heard this, he said bluntly: "General Hui, the middle of the Golden Terrace is low and two ends high, the middle is the official road of Yiding Erzhou, one side is a rammed earth platform as high as two or three zhang, which is the old site of the Golden Terrace, and one side is a dense forest, full of granite grass and trees."

When Chai Shao heard this, he let out a low voice, "It's not good, the Yi County army must have been evacuated from Yi County, and they wanted to vote for Dingzhou, but they were ambushed in the Golden Terrace." ”

Ma Sanbao and other lieutenant generals also understood, all of them were anxious, and they looked at Chai Shao again.

Chai Shao said without hesitation: "Ma Sanbao listens to orders."

"The end will be". Ma Sanbao grinned, and said loudly, looking at this, he has another opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and it is also an opportunity to do favors, if he saves the Yi County Army on this trip, wouldn't the Yi County Army owe him a life-saving grace?

"Take your 1,000 elite horsemen and go to Jintai to rescue the Yi County Army." Chai Shao ordered.

"Yes". Ma Sanbao responded suddenly, and was about to turn around happily, Chai Shao said again: "Three or four thousand rebels are already at the end of the crossbow, don't worry, remember, if you can't catch something, don't fight hard."

Ma Sanbao should go down.

Among the 30,000 counterinsurgency troops that Chai Shao brought on this trip, there were less than 5,000 cavalry, and among them, only the 1,000 elite cavalry led by Ma Sanbao were elite.

Ma Sanbao gave an order, and a thousand elite horsemen roared in the direction of Jintai.

Looking at the golden platform again, the battle situation was already one-sided at this time, Wang Duwei thought that the number of people on the side was twice that of the enemy, and there was a chance to fight one or two, but what people didn't expect was that as soon as they first came into contact, the Yi County army could still rely on the morale of Wang Zhao and the two to fight each other, but after a while, it was just a morale, and it was defeated and retreated.

The five thousand elites of the Youyan rebel army were originally Wang Junkuo's collection of the power of the two states, and the elite soldiers created in accordance with the training standards of the former military soldiers of the Wei Dynasty, and they took a shortcut in advance to reach the Golden Terrace here to wait for work, and although the Yi County Army was also considered an elite soldier, it was inferior, and it was even since the Xu River Bank rested, the hundred miles of travel did not stop for a moment, and when it reached the Golden Terrace, it was exhausted, and it was only supported by a stream of happiness for the rest of his life, and was smashed by a burst of rocks and arrows.

Seeing that the army was retreating, taking a step back was to lie down several Yixian troops, Wang Duwei's eyes were torn, and brandishing a broken knife was completely a desperate fight regardless of his own defense.

At this time, on a clear sunny day, only a rumbling sound could be heard, and the people and horses on both sides looked south, only to see a black torrent, stepping on.

When I looked closely, it was the cavalry of the imperial court, some people were overjoyed and some were surprised, only to see that the bearded Zhao Duwei withdrew his thick voice and shouted: "Haha, brothers, the imperial court reinforcements are coming, kill the thief."

As soon as the words fell, the cavalry had already rushed to the front of the formation, and the first thin man with a long beard holding a long knife raised his sword and shouted: "Annihilate the traitors."

A thousand iron cavalry drank violently, raised their knives and rushed over, the Yixian army saw that they were busy and gave up the enemy, and retreated, this cavalry rushed to not be a joke, but it can't be taken seriously.

Ma Sanbao held a long knife, took the lead, and the long knife in his hand did not need to be deliberately chopped, straight or straight, or horizontal, with the impact of horsepower was to tear the rebels in front of him to pieces.

Originally, after a fierce battle, there were less than 2,000 of the 5,000 rebel elites left, and after a fierce battle, they were exhausted, where could they withstand the impact of this cavalry.

But the partial general Wu Cheng didn't seem to think of this, and when he saw the cavalry rushing over, he scolded, raised the horizontal knife in his hand, kicked the horse's belly, and shouted, "Cubs." array".

It is worthy of being the elite of the rebels, although they are tired and demoralized, but after listening to the orders of the general, they still formed a military formation to resist the cavalry for the first time in the panic, and Ma Sanbao saw that there was also a flash of light in his eyes, it seemed that the rebels were ...... Not bad.
