Chapter 266: The Han Army vs. the Qiang Soldiers (continued)
In just one round, both sides quit their troops and returned to camp. In fact, if you have to calculate it carefully, this is the real first confrontation between the two armies, and no one really took advantage of it. Whether it is the Liangzhou army or the Dangqiang side, it is the case, everyone has their own losses, and then the two sides are almost the same, so no one has taken advantage of it, and no one has suffered much.
But if you really count it, it is still a big loss to burn Dangqiang, after all, one of the fierce generals under Miji's tent died like this. Look at Miji's face at this time, you can see how distressed he is.
"Alas, I really didn't expect that the Dian slave actually died, and was killed by the Han army!"
Don't mention anything else, a fierce general died under Miji's tent, in fact, everyone has to feel distressed. But people are already dead, and it's useless to think about it too much, so Miji doesn't think about it anymore. It's just that he blamed all this on Ma Chao and the Liangzhou army, after all, if there was no arrival for them, the fierce generals under his account would not have been killed, and the warriors who burned him would not have been killed or injured.
However, there is another point that he can't quite accept, that is, according to the statistics of his subordinates just now, this first confrontation with the Han army, his side did not take advantage of it at all. Of course, the Han army also did not take any advantage, but in Miji's eyes, the warriors who burned themselves were the most powerful, how could those weak Han people compare, and the two could not be compared at all.
But now that the facts are defeated in front of me, I can't help but believe it. Originally, when I asked Li Ji to test Ma Chao and Han Jun a little bit, although I believed what he said, but after really seeing it, I actually believed it, and this time I didn't doubt it at all, Han Jun was indeed stronger than I expected a long, long time ago, so it might be a hard fight in the future.
In this regard, Mi Ji could only smile bitterly in his heart, and he didn't know what to say, anyway, he was young and frivolous at the beginning, and now it's time for him to pay the price, but this price may be a little big. Although I don't want to admit anything at all from my heart, the facts will not change, the Han army is indeed very strong, it is a strong enemy, not inferior to its own warriors, so what will the result be, I also believe that my side will win, but is it really will, anyway, I don't know what to do.
Don't say that Mi Ji was thinking nonsense there, just say that the Liangzhou army withdrew, and then after Ma Chao returned to his big tent, he specially summoned Zhang Fei, Wu Anguo and the eighteen sons, and wanted to have a brief chat with everyone.
Everyone arrived at the big tent, and Zhang Fei and the three of them arched their hands and said in unison: "Lord! ”
Ma Chao nodded to everyone, then stretched out his right hand and slowly pressed slightly, signaling everyone to sit down.
"Let's all sit down, let's talk about today's battle!"
"Thank you, lord!"
After everyone sat down, Ma Chao said to everyone: "I think you have also seen it, the combat power of Burning Dangqiang should not be underestimated, and it is by no means general, so I don't know what everyone thinks?" ”
Ma Chao went through this battle with Burning Dangqiang, no, coupled with the previous battle with the first warrior of Burning Dangqiang, Li Ji, he could see that Burning Dangqiang's combat power is indeed very strong, in fact, if you really want to talk about it, it should be half a point stronger than the Liangzhou Army that he has trained for many years.
And this time, the opponent, don't look at the only more than 30,000 people, but the combat power is definitely not comparable to the previous Yumen Pass horse thieves, Taiping Dao Yellow Turban Army and Han Sui's traitors. In fact, whether it is the horse thieves of Yumen Pass, or the Yellow Turban Army of Taiping Dao, or even Han Sui's traitor side, in fact, in Ma Chao's eyes, they are really a rabble, at least inferior to their own Liangzhou Army in terms of combat power.
But today's burning Dangqiang, Ma Chaozhi Dao, in terms of combat power alone, is definitely his own fierce enemy. That's it, people still don't count the old and weak women and children, if you count these people, then you are not an opponent. Don't underestimate the old and weak women and children, maybe the old and weak women and children of the Han people are basically powerless people, but the old and weak women and children of different races are much stronger than the Han people. This is the truth, and it is the same if you don't admit it. Let's take the simplest point, everyone can ride a horse, and this Han person can't compare to others.
In fact, Ma Chao is not afraid of burning Dangqiang or anything, but it can't be too much. He knew that if he really fought hard and fought hard, then the best result on his side would be to lose both sides, and everyone would finish playing together. However, there are still old and weak women and children, which is different from my original intention. Another point is that his Liangzhou army can't afford to lose so much, and he doesn't care about his family. But when he came out of Longxian, he secretly made up his mind that he must do his best to bring back more Liangzhou soldiers. If you can't do this well, then what are you talking about to dominate the world?
For Ma Chao, the best thing to do is to outwit, but there is no good way on his side for a while. He was a little complaining about himself at this time, why didn't he bring Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe here in the first place, if Jia Xu was here, maybe he would have some good ideas. Take a look, at this time, it's time to take a step at a time, if you still don't have any achievements within three days, then you must summon Jia Xu, the old fox, presumably he should be able to play a big role.
At this time, Ma Chao set a deadline for himself, after all, he, Ma Chao, Ma Mengqi, is really not a person who thinks about relying on others for everything. In fact, Ma Chao thinks more often about major and important things, as long as he can solve them well or deal with things well, he generally completes them by himself. And if it's something he can't do anything about, then he'll ask someone else to help or something. Of course, there are some things that he still wants to cooperate with others, and this is not for nothing. But the first time to rely on yourself, this, Ma Chao is indeed the idea.
When everyone heard their lord say this, they didn't have anything to say for a while, originally, what Ma Chao saw, everyone else naturally saw it. I have to say that Burning Dangqiang is indeed stronger than they imagined, but this is true. In fact, it is not difficult to understand when you think about this, if Burning Dangqiang is really the kind of Qiang tribe that is easy to bully, wouldn't it have been annexed by other Qiang tribes long ago, and they can still be left until now?
Although the existence of Burning Dangqiang is the result of various reasons, it has to be admitted that their combat power is actually one of the reasons. Just because they still have combat power, and they are not very weak, no one dares to make an idea. Because in case the most ugly thing is burned, when a fish dies and the net is broken, then whoever touches it will be unlucky. Although it can extinguish the Qiang, it is indeed as said before, it is definitely more than worth the loss, and it is definitely a great loss to the vitality. Therefore, "those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes", no one wants to force burning as a Qiang to that part.
But Ma Chao and them are in danger, because judging from the current situation, Burning Dangqiang is being forced by him little by little, maybe it will be after going to the bottom, anyway, for Burning Dangqiang, for Miji, the big deal is that the fish is dead and the net is broken, who is afraid of whom. I can't get better, but can I still let Ma Chao let Han Jun and them be good?
It was Li Wei who spoke first, after all, he knew more about Dangqiang, and he was the party concerned, so it was normal for him to be the first to speak, and no one would have any opinions. Besides, at this time, Zhang Fei and Wu Anguo and the two of them wished that Li Wei would say it first, because they really didn't have anything to say for the time being.
"My lord, the combat power of Burning Dangqiang is indeed stronger than we expected, but we have been fighting with them for a long time, so either they will die or we will die. The subordinates thought that our army could find some external forces, such as the first zero Qiang among the Qiang people! ”
Ma Chao shook his head slightly when he heard this, "You are right, but Xian Lingqiang will not be a help to our army!" ”
In fact, Ma Chao hadn't thought about this before, but he knew that Xian Lingqiang would never really help him. First, Xianlingqiang and Burning Dangqiang are both Qiang tribes, even if there are contradictions, but there is a good saying, "Brothers are outside the wall and resist their insults". Xian Lingqiang and Burning Dangqiang are actually brothers, and the Han army is an outsider, although they are not so bad that they are insulted together, but the choice of Xian Lingqiang is ......
Second, Xian Lingqiang is not a fool, he can't help the Han army to extinguish Dangqiang. What they want to do more is actually to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, ready to have a sandpiper and mussel to compete for the fisherman's profit. Although Ma Chao has not been in contact with Xian Lingqiang, he pushes himself and others, if he is Xian Lingqiang, he will do so, so ......
In fact, Ma Chao felt that if he really first zeroed Qiang, then he might pretend to cooperate with the Han army first, gain the trust of the Han army, and then wait for the burning of Dangqiang to be extinguished, and then give the Han army a knife in the back, so it will be complete. However, what Xian Lingqiang thinks, Ma Chao doesn't know. However, in his opinion, it is certain to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but whether Xian Lingqiang has more insidious plans in the end, this Ma Chao thinks it is unlikely.
After Li Wei listened to his lord's words, he didn't argue anything, but Zhang Fei next to him shouted: "Won't they help burn Dangqiang first?" ”
Ma Chao didn't say anything about this, but Li Wei shook his head, "Yide doesn't know, Yaodangqiang and many Qiang tribes have grudges, especially Xianlingqiang. Besides, if the Qiang tribe was really so united, then they would have been strong enough, Haluha! ”
After Zhang Fei heard this, he thought about it, yes, what Li Wei said really makes sense, it seems that this is actually the case.
