"The whole army has time to rest for a stick of incense!" Ma Chaole stopped like the dragon Xiaohei, patted the elephant dragon's sweaty body, and said loudly.

At the sound of an order, more than 5,000 horsemen seemed to be scattered, and then they turned over and dismounted extremely tiredly, regardless of anything else, and lay on the ground and gasped for breath. The other soldiers, who still had some strength, hurriedly took out the dry food behind their backpacks and took a few bites to recover their strength. It's just that there is no river around, and the dry and hard pancakes make people roll their eyes.

Seeing this, Ma Chao was also helpless in his heart. At this time, his throat was also burning, and his whole body was extremely dehydrated. However, after he dismounted, he still tried to stand up straight, waiting for the report of the single. Before the single reached Ma Chao, he shouted loudly: "Lord, the news of Dashou City has come!" ”

Ma Chao's face darkened again: Sure enough, as he expected, I'm afraid that Dashou City is already Cao Cao's at this time! The traitors of the Three Kingdoms used soldiers like gods, which was really overwhelming.

"The day before yesterday, Cao's 5,000 men and horses cut off the upper reaches of Jushui, and Yuan Shu's army in Dashou City was terrified. And Yuan Shu was even more frightened, at a loss, and panicked. As a result, within one day, he ordered the army to retreat to Gaoling City to hold on, ordered to return to Dashou City, and ordered to take the initiative to attack, and issued more than a dozen contradictory orders one after another. The morale of Yuan's troops was not high, and they were even more at a loss when they received such an order, which made rumors spread in the army, and people were panicked, and they were in chaos first. "The information uncovered by the single song is very detailed. At this time, Ma Chao seemed to be able to think of Yuan Shu's panicked appearance in Dashou City.

"As a result, before Cao Jun sent troops, Yuan Shu didn't last a few days, so he took the initiative to retreat?" Ma Chao licked his dry lips and asked.

"Exactly." The single song was also hungry and thirsty, and after licking his lips full of bubbles like Ma Chao, he continued with pain: "Yuan Shu led the army to flee to the higher ground of Ningling City, but Cao Jun still chased after him. Presumably at this moment, Cao Jun is in the pursuit of Yuan Shu's army"

"Hmm." Ma Chao nodded, frowned and said: "Dashou City, the main force of the Cao army has no worries, and the Yanzhou army will definitely move to the southwest." Yuan Shu did not have an advantage in the soldiers and horses at the moment, so he would naturally be defeated all the way. In this way, the defeat to Cao Cao was only a matter of three or two days. And looking at Cao Cao's posture this time, I am afraid that if Yuan Shu is not driven back to Yangzhou, he will never give up! After sending troops to Hangu, Ma Chao was figuring out the overall battle situation all the time and deducing all kinds of changes, and now this situation has been expected by him.

However, carefully recalling Cao Cao's use of troops, he sent troops from Zhencheng to Ningling City, pursued Yuan Shu all the way for 600 miles, and fought from the beginning of summer to the end of summer, beating the leader of the southern faction of the Kwantung Army so embarrassed that it really became the most colorful stroke in the first year of Xingping, shocking the entire Han Dynasty.

It can be seen that in this war, from the very beginning, Cao Cao basically did not set up a face-to-face confrontation, if this is the case, Ma Chao feels that the victory or defeat is really five or five. However, Cao Cao didn't give Yuan Shu this opportunity at all, starting with a small number of troops, forcing Yuan Shu to have no chance to think calmly, forcing Yuan Shu to have no time to set up a position, and using psychological warfare to the extreme. The purpose is not to destroy the other party, but to force them to break up on their own. Every time he was encircled, he left a way for the other party to retreat, which not only preserved his own strength, but also weakened the opponent's strength in the escape, and Cao Cao's war talent was really brought into full play.

Even, Ma Chao felt that Cao Cao's use of troops had the shadow of the greatest military strategist in later generations, and his military speed and mastery of psychological warfare had really reached the extreme peak of this era! Compared with the pure battle between himself and Lu Bu, which can be said to be between warriors, Cao Cao's use of troops fully embodies the essence of 'soldiers, tricks'.

In Ma Chao's view, the wars in the Three Kingdoms era were actually divided. In the era of the heroes, such as Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and even when they first conquered Saiwai, they all relied on unparalleled force and soldier courage to break through the enemy's blockade again and again, relying on a keen sense of battlefield smell, and tearing out a comprehensive victory with a very small advantage. And when it came to the time of dominating the world, with the maturity of various wars, especially when military geniuses like Cao Cao, Kong Ming, and Sima appeared, all kinds of military branches and all kinds of tactics were brought into full play by them. At that time, fighting a war was simply an art, a dazzling spark generated by the collision of thoughts and thoughts, radiating a variety of brilliant colors.

In this era, I still have to learn, not to mention all kinds of military thoughts in the future, let's just say that the battle with Lu Bu just happened, if it weren't for the bloody battle, and the morale of Lu Bu's subordinates was low, he might have been defeated by Lu Bu.

However, thinking of Lu Bu, Ma Chao thought of his disposal of Lu Bu again. And thinking of the variables that that disposal brought to this era that was gradually chaotic, Ma Chao's brows couldn't help but frown again

"Lord, the time for a stick of incense has passed, it's time to hit the road!" Zhang Xiu got up angrily, shook off the fatigue on his body, and said to Ma Chao with his fists.

And Ma Chao turned around and saw that Ma Jiatie rode one by one thirsty. His eyes couldn't help but roll, he turned over and got on his horse, raised his gun and pointed in front of him: "The shadow single has brought news, fifteen miles ahead, there is a Merlin." At this time, it is the time when the plums are ripe, and the sons and daughters quickly get up, wait for the capture of Yangren County, and then go to have a full meal of green plums!! ”

When the soldiers of the Ma family heard this, their eyes couldn't help but light up. Thinking of the sweet, sour and juicy taste of the plum, I couldn't help but salivate, and the throat was lubricated, and it seemed that my whole body was full of strength again, and after echoing, I struggled to climb onto the war horse.

But although the single song was also greedy, his brows were furrowed, and he muttered in a low voice: "Lord, fifteen miles ahead, there is no Merlin!" ”

"Of course I know no!" Ma Chao pulled his lips and smiled, and said with a hint of cunning: "Let me ask you, are you thirsty now?" ”

"I'm not thirsty" was asked by Ma Chao, and suddenly, I really felt that I was really not thirsty when I thought of the taste of plums. However, he still asked worriedly, "But if the soldiers find out that the lord is lying to them"

"After capturing Yangren County, are you still worried about running out of water to drink? What plums to eat?!! Although Ma Chao whispered, after finishing speaking, he couldn't help laughing. After that, regardless of the single, the first to go away.

And the single touched his head, and then patted himself: "What's wrong with me?" The lord is right, after capturing Yangren County, you still have no water to drink? How did this IQ get into the Shadow Camp in the first place? ”

At the same time, Cao Cao, who was marching in the dense forest, looked at the soldiers who were rolling up and down, competing to squeeze the sap of the branches to quench their thirst, and couldn't help frowning, and his scorched face was much darker by the sun.

"Ming Gong, the soldiers are fast, and now Yuan Shujun is fleeing for his life in a hurry, so he must go all out!" Cao Ren looked at the listless appearance of his soldiers, and really wanted to whip the soldiers a few times. But after licking his chapped lips, he lowered his whip in despair.

After Cao Cao closed his eyes and thought for a moment, he shouted loudly: "Cao has been here here, and ten miles ahead, there is a plum forest. The armies quickly followed Cao and had a full meal of green plums!! ”

When Cao Jun heard Cao Cao's words, they all looked shocked, and couldn't help swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, and responded violently. And Cao Cao didn't seem to be able to wait for those soldiers, and wanted to eat plums earlier, so he rode away regardless of the army.

Cao Jun didn't know what was going on, and after the word was passed on to the hundred, everyone threw away the bitter and unpleasant branches in their hands, and rushed forward like a mad dog that had broken free from the chain. Less than five miles away, they saw the Yuan army retreating in disarray
