Cao Cao fought with the Liangzhou army in Peiguo for nearly ten years, and finally figured out that his opponent was General Ma from Liangzhou.

But which General Ma is from Liangzhou?

There are not many generals surnamed Ma in the world, and there are even fewer Ma generals in Liangzhou, Cao Cao knew that there was a Ma Teng in Liangzhou. But isn't Ma Teng a pastor of the state, so he won't give up and run to Peiguo. As for Ma Chao's identity, Cao Cao could guess that most of them were Ma Teng's sons and nephews, but he had never heard of Ma Chao's name.

It wasn't until the two sides exchanged troops for a long time that Cao Cao learned about Ma Chao's official name in the accidental report of his subordinates. A Cao army accidentally broke into Ma Chao's Chinese army, although it was killed by the rolling iron cavalry and returned, but in the end it saw the big drum next to Ma Chao's golden drum - General Fubo.

Cao Cao then remembered that when Ma Teng was appointed as the pastor of Yanbei, he also chose his son as General Fubo, but Cao Cao didn't pay attention to General Fubo's surname. At that time, he didn't pay much attention to Ma Chao, but thought it was just Yanbei's means to win over Ma Teng.

Everyone in the world knows that Yanbei is wooing Ma Teng, and he is sparing no effort to woo him. Everyone in the world knows that Yanbei is a person who attaches great importance to power, in other words, he spares no effort to centralize power. The Yan's family occupies nine and a half of the 14 states in the world, and the special position and special circumstances of Lizhou can be removed and the state pastor was born, and the remaining eight states and half of Yuzhou were only three state pastors in the past, and now Yanbei has stepped down as Jizhou pastor and let Henan Yin Liang Xi take over the history of Jizhou Thorn, and only Youzhou pastor and state pastor are still in the position of state pastor, holding military and political power.

Youzhou Mu is the third brother of Yanbei and is a blood relative, needless to say; Ma Teng's merger with the state pastor is particularly noble at this time. But this is not enough, at the beginning of the Ma family's annexation to the Yan family, he put his son Ma Chao in the position of General Fubo, what does this mean?

Let Yanbei, who is rich in the world, reward thousands of gold, which may not be really treated; But if Yan Bei, who is extremely stingy with the official position of the state pastor and miscellaneous general, is rewarded to a surname, it will definitely be treated very closely!

But even so, this army appeared in Peiguo, and Cao Cao felt enough attention, but this attention did not make people feel happy in the slightest.

"How many miscellaneous generals are there in the Yan Clan? Cao is the only one left in Qi County, and it is not enough to send a cavalry general Zhang Wenyuan, but also to send another Ma Fubo? ”

It's so infuriating that I can't speak!

However, after nearly ten days of fighting, Cao Cao still couldn't figure out how many soldiers and horses this horse Fubo had brought under his tent. After days of fighting, the Quartet of Qi County fought big and small battles, but the Cao family always lost more and won less. The advantage of cavalry is not only that the troops come and go like the wind, in this flat terrain radius of a hundred miles, it is invincible, today the soldiers and horses gather in the north of the city, then the north of the city thousands of enemy troops attack it, the north of the army can not be defended; Tomorrow, when the south of the city hears the alarm, the enemy army in the south of the city will move when they hear the wind, and thousands of horses will gallop, and the southern soldiers will not be able to fight; Although it was only forty or fifty miles away, it took two hours for the cavalry to reach it in half an hour.

Victory or defeat is in these two hours, often the Cao army reinforcements arrived, and the enemy army had already collected all the armor and baggage, leaving the remnants of corpses everywhere to leave. Leaving Cao Jun looking at each other, full of indignation but helpless.

Who can have any way, two legs are not as fast as four legs after all, not to mention that even if they send out cavalry, they may not be the opponent of Liangzhou Qiang cavalry.

The Central Plains soldiers are better than the Western soldiers, not in the military formation, but in the armor and equipment. However, these Liangzhou soldiers captured a large number of armor that originally belonged to Cao's army in more than ten days of fighting, and there was not much disadvantage in equipment. Even if they sent out cavalry to assist Ma Chao in the field battle, who would dare to guarantee that they would be able to defeat Ma Chao?

No one can.

What made the Cao generals angry the most was that Ma Chao's tactics were naïve!

The Liangzhou Qiang rode like wolves roaming outside the city, gathering wherever there was an enemy, and frantically biting off a piece of meat. They have seen a lot of such tactics, and most of them are barbarians who do not know how to use the battle array, and they only know how to give full play to their strengths but have no rules. They didn't even need to do anything to defeat such an enemy, and now that it was autumn, and the weather would turn cold after a few rains, would these cavalry still be so rampant outside the city?

They always want to avoid the city, as long as they hide in the city, that is the opportunity for Cao Jun, where can they move in the wind and snow? Do you have to be trapped in this hundred miles of land?

Knowing the tactics of the enemy army and coming up with a tactic to deal with it, it seems that this year's predicament will easily disintegrate, but this is not the case.

The reality is often more tragic than imagined, doesn't Cao Cao know that sending soldiers and horses out like this is like cutting meat and feeding tigers? But he has no choice, Qi County sent a grain collection team because there is no food to avoid the winter, but now the food is confiscated and snatched away by Ma Chao, the current situation is that Ma Chao has food and they have no food, in winter, whether Ma Chao is to avoid the city or wander outside to find a camp to hide from the wind and snow, but what about them?

Cao Jun's grain and grass are only enough to enter the winter, and there is no food at the beginning of the cold, and the transfer to other cities is light, and the soldiers and horses will be fried if they can't eat a meal!

The overall situation is forcing Cao Cao and Ma Chao to fight hard in the field.

There has never been a strategy for victory, but a wise general can adapt measures to local conditions and give full play to the ability to win.

At this time, this is the case, although the tactics chosen by Ma Chao are naïve, or the tactics of those Qiang tribal leaders are too immature, but this immature tactics can ruthlessly block Cao Cao, who has lost all his retreats, in Qi County, whether it is to advance or lose, retreat and defeat, and there is no other way.

In just more than ten days, there were no less than 100 exchanges of troops outside the city, and Cao's army was lucky to get the advantage only twice, and most of the rest of the time were defeated, and the loss of troops alone exceeded 3,000, which was difficult for anyone to bear.

The morale of the Cao army has been hit one after another, whether it is the defeat of Runan or the lack of food in Peiguo, which has pushed the low morale of the Cao army to the edge, and now it is targeted by the wolf-like Ma Liangzhou army, and the morale is low to the limit.

Even though most of the Cao army that remains today are veterans who joined Cao's command when they were in Yanzhou, no one is still optimistic about this war, not even Cao Cao.

This seems to be the last battle of the Cao family.

There is no food and grass, there is no hope of victory, it is like a broken kettle and a boat to fight against the water, but in fact they have no kettle to break and no boat to sink.

Cao Cao bathed and changed clothes to worship his ancestors in the official temple of Qi County, and the cloth left in the general was withdrawn as a white flag, accompanied by the low sound of the horn, the gate of Qi County was opened, and the army went out of the city in formation, and the Liangzhou army of Ma's fought to the death.

In this battle, there is probably no one to collect their corpses for them, and the white flags that are erected in the military formation should be regarded as a memorial in advance!
