But the Wei army waited for a long time, and did not see the Han army launch an attack or archery.

"What are Shu soldiers doing?"

"Lao Tzu's legs are sore, can he fight or not?"

"That's right, it's been a day, and I want to lie down now!"

The Wei army talked a lot and complained bitterly.

The Wei army set out from noon, staring at the scorching sun until the evening, all of them were exhausted, and now it was a time of sleepiness, but the arrival of the Han army made them unable to rest.

Hu Zun and Xiahou Rong looked at the Han cavalry with torches in front of them, and Hu Zun said with a puzzled expression: "The Shu army is just shouting but not attacking, what is this for?" Don't they have to rest? ”

Xiahou Rong muttered: "The Shu army is cavalry, we can only walk thirty or forty miles a day, this little distance, they can do it in one or two hours, if we march, they will rest."

When we rested, they quickly caught up with us and harassed us, so that we could not get rest day and night, and within three or five days, our soldiers were bound to be exhausted, and they would be vulnerable to the cavalry of the Shu army. ”

Xiahou Rong is also a smart person, and after thinking about it carefully, he understood Ma Chao's plan.

After listening to Xiahou Rong's words, Hu Zun said with a solemn face: "If Ma Chao fights this idea, it will be troublesome, although we have cavalry, but it is a grain transportation team, and the speed cannot be raised."

Travel up to forty miles a day, and there are still ten days to go to Longshan, Ma Chao does this, and our army will be defeated by Ma Chao halfway. ”

Xiahou Rong ordered: "Send someone to Longshan overnight to inform the general, so that he is sending some people over." The cavalry galloped fast, and they could arrive at Longshan tomorrow evening, so that the general would send troops to come lightly, day and night, so that it would only take two or three days for our army to get reinforcements to arrive! ”

"I'm sending someone to Longshan!"

In summer, the nights are short and the days are long, and after two hours, the sky gradually brightens, and Ma Chao saw that the Wei army was already cooking on a fire, so he led his troops to leave and found a shady place to let the soldiers rest.

Wei Jun was noisy by the Han army and didn't sleep for a night, but some of them slept for a while, and the quality was not high, they yawned for a long time, and they looked listless when they walked, and they couldn't lift up a little spirit.

After breakfast, the Wei army continued to set off on the road.

In the late afternoon, the Han army rested for a day and recuperated their spirits, Ma Chao asked people to prepare meals, and after dinner, it was dark again.

Subsequently, Ma Chao led his troops to catch up with the Wei army.

Wei Jun walked for a day, because he was tired and had no energy, but he walked more than thirty miles, and now he had just eaten dinner, and he was lying on the ground to rest.

Suddenly, the earth trembled, and a deafening cry rang out again.

"This group of Shu soldiers is here again!"

"Do you want anyone to sleep!"

"I'm going to be sleepy!"

"No matter, I want to sleep!"

More than 10,000 Wei troops cursed one after another.

Xiahou Rong ordered: "The foot soldiers sit down in formation, don't leave their weapons, all the cavalry sit next to the horses, ready to mount at any time!" ”

Xiahou Rong knew that if the soldiers continued to sleep regardless of the Han army, Ma Chao would definitely take the opportunity to attack, and only by being ready would the Han army not dare to attack.

The Wei army did not dare to disobey, so they could only be on mental alert.

At dawn, the Han army retreated again, and the Wei army continued to set off on its way.

After three days in a row, Ma Chao still went out day and night, and the Wei army did not rest well for four days in a row, and he was exhausted.

Four days without sleep, the need to march during the day, and the spirit at night is in a state of tension, in which case the flesh and blood simply cannot hold on.

On the morning of this day, Ma Chao led his troops away, and Xiahou Rong organized the soldiers to make a fire and cook. However, after seeing the Han army leaving, the soldiers all lay on the ground and fell asleep.

Xiahou Rong was furious when he saw this, and shouted: "Hurry up, Longshan is short of grain and grass, and we must send grain and grass to Longshan as soon as possible." ”

However, the soldiers didn't pay attention to Xiahou Rong, and some even fell asleep.

"You get up for me!" Xia Hourong stretched out his hand and grabbed a lieutenant from the ground, and the lieutenant was like a puddle of mud, with no strength at all.

The lieutenant said in a daze: "General, let me sleep, I'm going to die!" ”

Xiahou Rong shouted: "Get up for me, or I will kill you!" ”

"If you want to kill me, I'm going to kill when I'm asleep, so I don't know that it hurts." The captain muttered, and fell asleep again, and it was still while Xiahou Rong was holding him.

"Damn!" Xiahou Rong threw the captain on the ground, and the captain didn't care about the pain, so he changed his position and continued to sleep.

Hu Zun sighed and said to Xiahou Rong: "According to the time, the reinforcements sent by the general should arrive today, Ma Chao has just left, and he should not come back, so let the soldiers sleep, and when the reinforcements arrive, I am holding on to them now, let alone them." ”

"Hey!" Xiahou Rong threw the spear in his hand on the ground, and went to make a fire to cook with his head bored.

Ma Chao did not go far with his troops, and stopped when he came to a plain.

Ma Dai walked up to Ma Chao and said, "Brother, I think the Wei army can't hold on, so I can do it today." ”

"Hmm!" Ma Chao nodded and said: "The Wei army has not rested for four days, and the weather is so hot, now it is indeed vulnerable, let the brothers cook, eat, and then deal with the Wei army!" ”

"Good!" Ma Dai was overjoyed and said to the Han soldiers: "Brothers, quickly make a fire and cook, and kill the enemy when you are full!" ”

An hour later, the Han army was full of food and drink.

On the other side, the Wei soldiers were still lying on the ground sleeping, Xiahou Rong and Hu Zun did not rest, the two sat together and drank freshly cooked millet porridge.

Knock knock knock......

Suddenly, the earth trembled.

"Damn it!" Xiahou Rong's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly threw away the porridge in his hand, picked up the spear on the ground and held it in his hand, and then turned over and dismounted.

Xiahou Rong rode among the soldiers and shouted: "Get up for me, the Shu army is coming, the Shu army is coming!" Rise up for me to defend against the enemy. ”

"What? Stop making noise, let me sleep! ”

"Hmmm......"

Xiahou Rong shouted hoarsely, but few soldiers got up, they hadn't slept for four days, and now they had just fallen asleep, and they had entered a deep sleep, even if the sky fell apart, it was difficult to wake them up.

Hu Zun said anxiously: "General, let's go, the cavalry of the Shu army is here, and a few of us can't beat it!" ”

"Damn, damn!" Xiahou Rong roared angrily.

He worked hard to get these more than 30,000 stones, grains and grass, but now he can't send them to Longshan!

"I burned these grains and grass myself, and I didn't leave them to the Han army!" Xiahou Rong's face turned ruthless, picked up the torch on the ground, walked back and forth in the carriage, and burned all the grain and grass.
