Chapter 518 Hunt and Kill
"Damn!" Hearing this, Xiahou Rong was furious, but thinking of the current situation, he could only suppress Dou Ma Chao's thoughts.
Xiahou Ba shouted: "Ma Chao, don't take advantage of your tongue, if you have the ability, come and break my formation." ”
"If you want to break your formation, why do you need to use soldiers and horses?" Ma Chao smiled, and immediately shouted at the Wei army: "I know that your grain and grass have been exhausted, Cao Zhen wants to use fire attack tactics to deal with our army, but unfortunately His Majesty saw through it, Cao Zhen saw that the plan was not successful, and he had fled at this moment, and the soldiers and horses hidden in the mountains and forests had surrendered."
This Xiahou Rong doesn't know what lies he told to deceive you, but I tell you, no matter what he says, it is false, Xiahou Rong just wants to use you to delay time and fight for Cao Zhen's chance to escape.
I advise you to quickly take Xiahou Rong and Xiahou Ba, abandon your weapons and surrender, otherwise when things are clear, Xiahou Rong's lies will be self-defeating, and it will not be so simple for you to surrender. I think you know the methods of Ma Mengqi. ”
Listening to Ma Chao's words, the Wei soldiers were all flustered.
Did Cao Zhen really escape?
What Xia Hourong said is all false?
No food and grass reinforcements?
Did Xiahou Rong use them to cover Cao Zhen's retreat?
Xiahou Rong immediately opened his mouth to stabilize the army's heart: "You have to listen to his Ma Chao's nonsense, he just wants to disturb our army's heart." If Ben had used you, wouldn't he have to die with you? Huating's grain and grass reinforcements can arrive before sunset today, don't listen to Ma Chao's words and mess up. ”
"I see!" Listening to Xiahou Rong's words, a smile appeared on the corner of Ma Chao's mouth.
Now that he knows Xiahou Rong's method of stabilizing the army's heart, Ma Chao naturally has a way to break it.
Ma Chao shouted in a deep voice: "Ridiculous, ridiculous, such a shoddy lie, only you believe it." There are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of our army watching over there in Huating, and they are already too busy to take care of themselves, where can they have the ability to send reinforcements and food and grass over?
Take 10,000 steps back, if Huating can really send reinforcements to come over, why would Cao Zhen break the cauldron and abandon the camp to fight with our army? Wouldn't it be okay to stay in the camp and wait for the soldiers, horses, and food? ”
There is a big flaw in Xiahou Rong's words, you said that there are reinforcements arriving, just wait patiently in the camp, why take the risk of breaking the boat and fighting against the water?
As soon as Ma Chao's words came out, Wei Jun immediately talked about it, although they had not read the book and did not understand the reason, but they understood Ma Chao's words.
Xiahou Rong hurriedly said: "You have to panic, our army can survive the difficulties by staying in the camp and waiting for reinforcements, but if the general's strategy is successful, he can defeat the Shu army, and the general just wants to take this opportunity to defeat the Shu army."
Our army's food and grass reinforcements will arrive before sunset, and we will know when we will see you, what is there to be afraid of? Your family members are all in the rear, if you are not strong-minded and surrender to the Shu soldiers, you know what will happen to your family, wife and child. ”
Xiahou Rong's words came out, and Wei Jun felt a lot more relieved.
Ma Chao frowned slightly, and said secretly: "This was actually returned by Xiahou Rongyuan." ”
Zhao Yun urged him to step forward and said to Ma Chao: "I think forget it, as the saying goes, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth, whatever you say, Xiahou Rong will find a way to justify."
Wei Jun's wife and children are all in the rear, and once they surrender, their families can't please him, and it is not so simple to make Wei Jun surrender with just a few words.
It doesn't matter if Cao Zhen runs away, now that Longshan is broken, Chang'an is at his fingertips, where can he run? And wait patiently, when the sunset they see that the reinforcements do not arrive, Xiahou Rong's lies will be self-defeating, and he will surrender. ”
"That's all there is to it!" Ma Chao nodded, let the cavalry dismount and rest, and waited patiently.
The Wei army had more than 30,000 people, lined up in a circle, although the morale was not very good, but the military was sufficient, if it attacked, although it could be victorious, but there would also be a lot of casualties.
Now that the overall situation has been decided, it is a matter of loss if there are casualties in the winning situation, so Ma Chao and Zhao Yun decided to wait, wait until it gets dark, the reinforcements do not come, and Xiahou Rong's lies are self-defeating, see what you do.
Of course, in this way, Cao Zhen and the others are very likely to run away, but this does not affect the overall situation, after all, even if they break through the Wei army in front of them, they may not be able to catch up with Cao Zhen.
The time soon came to the afternoon, and the Wei soldiers lined up against the scorching sun, not daring to relax in the slightest, hoping that the reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible.
But as time went on, the Wei army gradually panicked, now that the sun is about to set, why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? Could it be that Xiahou Rong really lied to them?
Suddenly, there was the sound of galloping horses from the west.
"Reinforcements, it's reinforcements that have arrived!"
"Great, the general didn't lie to us!"
Wei Jun heard the sound of horses' hooves and shouted excitedly.
In the Wei army, Xiahou Rong and Xiahou Ba stayed together.
Xiahou Rong whispered to Xiahou Ba: "The reinforcements of the Shu army have arrived, we can take the opportunity to leave." ”
Although Xiahou Rong has the spirit of sacrifice, he is not willing to give his life in vain, he has already thought about it, looking for a chance to escape, and now the Han army reinforcements have arrived, and the Wei army mistakenly thinks that their reinforcements have arrived, this is the opportunity to escape.
"Hmm!" Xiahou Ba nodded.
Xiahou Rong turned over his horse and shouted: "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, I saw it, it was a tiger and leopard horseman, they went around to the rear of the Shu army, kill me, and kill the Shu army with the front and rear strikes, they brought dried meat on them, kill me, kill them and have meat to eat!" ”
"Kill!"
"Rush me!"
With Xiahou Rong's order, the Wei army rushed towards the Han army like crazy, they basked for a day, these days food is scarce, far from enough to fill the stomach, long hungry and dizzy, chest against the back.
When he heard that the Han army had dried meat on his body, it was like a hungry and thirsty man rushing to the little girl with a red stripe.
"Fight on horseback!"
Seeing this, Ma Chao hurriedly ordered a battle.
The cavalry of the Han army rushed on the horse, the Wei army was in chaos due to the charge, the heavy cavalry rushed into the Wei army under the order of Ma Chao, wielding a scimitar to harvest the lives of the Wei army, and the light cavalry wandered away from the periphery, constantly firing arrows towards the dense places of the Wei army.
The third general Ma Chao did not charge with soldiers and horses, Ma Chao looked at the battlefield for a while, and said to Zhao Yun: "Brother Xiahou did not lead the troops to rush to kill, I am afraid that they are preparing to escape, Zilong, Ziwei, I will lead the troops to deal with them, you don't have to fight, rush over to pursue the Xiahou brothers, don't let them run." ”
"No!"
The two immediately urged their horses and rushed towards the Wei army, like a sharp sword inserted into the Wei army, but they did not love to kill the enemy, brandishing their spears and constantly rushing forward, hoping to rush past the Wei army as soon as possible and chase and kill Xiahou Rong and Xiahou Ba.
