457.Chapter 457: The Great Reversal

Until this time, Ma Chao thought that Chen Xu and the others had seen the Xiliang army robbing the camp, so they hid.

Because according to the number of Guanzhong soldiers who left, there will not be many troops in the camp at all. It is precisely because of this that Ma Chao has no fear and rushes in with a big grin.

"Knock knock!"

At this moment, the sound of inspiring war drums sounded, and the sound of shouting and killing resounded in the sky came from all directions. The torches raised by the ambush soldiers in Guanzhong illuminated the entire night sky as if it were day.

"How is it possible, how is it possible, where did the soldiers in Guanzhong get so many soldiers and horses?"

Ma Chao looked at the Guanzhong soldiers who surrounded the camp in all directions, and couldn't help but shout in disbelief.

Wen Zhao was dressed in black armor, surrounded by Lu Bu, Dian Wei and others, and led the soldiers and horses to rush over.

With the spear in his hand, he pointed at the panicked Ma Chao from afar, and shouted: "You have already won the plan, why don't you get off the horse and surrender early?" ”

"Impossible!"

Ma Chao roared, his face a little hideous: "How can you have so many soldiers and horses?" ”

Sima Yi laughed out loud and said jokingly: "You saw that there were as many as 90,000 torches leaving the camp, did you think that my lord had sent so many soldiers and horses?" ”

"Fan Chou, General Zhao Yun, the soldiers and horses under their command are each holding two torches. Therefore, around my camp, there are still tens of thousands of troops left, just waiting for you to throw yourself into the net! ”

Time goes back to the moment when the Great Horde was discussed.

When Li Ru heard the words of the horse, he suggested going to the camp tonight. In Li Ru's view, the civil strife in the Xiliang Army has just been suppressed, and there must be internal instability.

If the troops robbed the camp, even if the Xiliang army was prepared, it would be chaotic for a while. In this way, those Xiliang soldiers who were confiscated from their weapons were bound to take advantage of the chaos to rebel.

If the imprisoned Xiliang soldiers rebelled, Ma Teng and Han Sui would definitely suffer from the enemy. Coupled with the disagreement of the Xiliang princes, and the leaders of the Qiang people have their own ghosts, the Guanzhong soldiers are likely to defeat the Xiliang army in a battle.

Li Ru's calculations are not inaccurate, but all of this must be based on the men of Liang Xing and Zhang Heng, and they were really suppressed by Han Sui and others because they wanted to leave.

As everyone knows, the news that the scouts came back was just a rumor fabricated by Han Sui in order to earn money from the Guanzhong soldiers to rob the camp.

Han Sui's strategy can be described as ruthless, first using rumors to induce the Guanzhong soldiers to rob the camp. When the soldiers in Guanzhong who robbed the camp were ambushed, Chen Xu would naturally send troops to rescue again.

Han Sui had the intention of encircling the point to send reinforcements, so that Pang De ambushed the Guanzhong army on the way forward, intending to intercept and kill halfway.

If these Guanzhong reinforcements are ambushed, Chen Xu will definitely go to the rescue again with a large army. In this way, the Guanzhong barracks must be extremely empty.

Han Sui's original intention was not to ambush the Guanzhong soldiers, but to take the opportunity to rob Chen Xu's camp. If the Guanzhong barracks were lost, and the grain and grass inside were burned, Chen Xu would no longer have the strength to go west in a short period of time.

Han Sui and Ma Teng can also calmly dispatch their subordinates to implement the established strategy of clearing the wilderness.

On the other hand, Han Sui asked Ma Chao to lead the troops to rob the camp, but he did not rescue Ma Dai and remove Ma Teng's heart knot.

Han Sui's strategy is linked one by one, and if Chen Xu is not careful, he will fall into the trap. However, if the Xiliang Army really had a hard fight with Chen Xu, the Guanzhong soldiers would not be able to take advantage of it.

But when it comes to the use of conspiracy and trickery, although Han Sui is resourceful, how can he compare to Jia Xu, Li Ru, and Sima Yi?

What's more, Jia Xu is also a top strategist who is good at grasping people's hearts. He and Han Sui are both from Liangzhou, and they have long been clear about this person's character.

Therefore, when Li Ru proposed to rob the camp, Jia Xu spoke out to stop him.

Jia Xu said: "Although Wenyou's plan is big, it is inevitably a little too underestimated by Han Wenyue. ”

Han Sui was able to gather 100,000 people to rebel against the imperial court as a scribe, and tossed the Eastern Han Dynasty to the brink. Looking at what he has done in his life, Han Sui is definitely not easy to match.

With Jia Xu's understanding of him, even if the men and horses under Liang Xing and Zhang Heng really asked to leave, Han Sui would not directly send troops to suppress it.

Jia Xu believed that Han Sui was able to handle this matter perfectly with his personal charm and prestige in Liangzhou.

Han Sui would either convince them to stay, let them all go, or slaughter them all.

However, the news that the scouts got was that Han Sui and Ma Teng led the troops to suppress Liang Xing and Zhang Heng's men, and confiscated the weapons of some people and imprisoned them.

It was this news that made Jia Xu suspicious. After some deliberation, he concluded that this matter was Han Sui's strategy to lure the enemy.

Li Ru and Sima Yi are both resourceful, even if Sima Yi is still young, under the teaching of several top strategists, he also shows demonic wisdom.

Since Jia Xu has affirmed that all this is Han Sui's strategy to lure the enemy, what happened after that is very easy to understand. Jia Xu, Li Ru, and Sima Yi came up with a plan.

The 5,000 wolf cavalry led by Zhang Liao was the bait deliberately given to the Xiliang soldiers. Fan Chou, leading 20,000 soldiers and horses, and carrying 40,000 torches, was another bait.

Of course, at the beginning, Jia Xu and the others were not sure that the Xiliang army would set up an ambush halfway.

It's just that that night, Chen Xu sent out a large number of scouts to let them reconnoiter the surrounding situation, and only then did they find out that Pang De led the troops to ambush halfway.

Fan Chou and his soldiers knew that there was an ambush there, so they slowed down and let the soldiers carry shields and distance themselves.

Because everyone knew about this in advance, they did not panic in the slightest after the ambush. Everyone believed that since their lord knew that there was an ambush here, he would definitely have a strategy to break the enemy.

It was with this thought in mind that they dragged Pound there. If Pang De hadn't woken up earlier, I'm afraid that in the dark of night, he would still not be able to defeat the 20,000 Guanzhong soldiers.

The scout's covert reconnaissance not only detected Pang De's ambush, but also Ma Chao's ambush. After all, this place was under Yang Qiu's rule before, and his subordinates' understanding of this place was far greater than that of the Xiliang Army.

Of course, since the scouts did not dare to approach, they only knew that there were ambushes in those two places, but they did not know who was in charge of the troops.

As smart as Jia Xu, Li Ru, and Sima Yi, it was very easy to guess Han Sui's plan. Later, Guan Zhongbing held two torches, which made Ma Chao mistakenly think that the camp was empty and led the troops to rob the village.

Ma Chao pinched the joints 'click', gritted his teeth and said, "One person hits two torches? I didn't even think of today's inferior strategy! ”

Wen Zhao took two steps forward and said, "Meng Qi's bravery, I greatly appreciate it. Now that you are surrounded here, I don't want to see a single member of the army fall, so you better surrender. ”

Ma Chao laughed twice and said proudly: "Only Ma Chao who died in battle, there are no cowards who surrendered." What's more, Zhao Yun is not here, if I want to leave, who can stop me? ”

"Arrogance!"

"I don't know what to say!"

Lu Bu and Dian Wei shouted in unison, exuding a powerful momentum on their bodies.

Looking at Ma Chao's high-spirited face, Wen Zhao sighed faintly, waved the spear in his hand, and shouted: "Kill!" ”

Lu Bu couldn't bear it for a long time, he heard Chen Xu's shout, and immediately slapped the red rabbit horse and killed Ma Chao.

"Kill!"

Nearly 50,000 Guanzhong soldiers burst out with a shocking shouting of killing, and under the leadership of Chen Xu, they pounced on the Xiliang army led by Ma Chao without fear of death.

The Xiliang army that was ambushed, where did it still have the fighting spirit at this time? When the soldiers rushed over, they actually began to riot.

"Don't panic, don't panic, follow me out of the encirclement!"

Ma Chao looked at the somewhat panicked soldiers under his command, and immediately shouted loudly.

At this moment, Lu Bu had already rushed to Ma Chao's side on a red rabbit horse, and he sneered and said, "It's better to take care of yourself!" ”

After finishing speaking, the Fang Tian painting halberd in Lu Bu's hand stabbed Ma Chao's throat.

"Bell!"

Ma Chao blocked Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd with a spear, and suddenly felt his hands numb, and he shouted: "You are Lu Bu, the first brave general in Guanzhong?" ”

Lu Bu laughed twice and said, "It's Lu!" ”

"Whew!"

Fang Tian's halberd repelled Ma Chao's silver spear and slashed at his neck again.

At this time, Lu Bu remembered what Chen Xu had told him before: "Ma Chao is unruly and ambitious. If it can't be used by me, I hope my uncle will help me get rid of it. ”

After seeing Ma Chao and Zhao Yun fighting, Lu Bu was also extremely jealous of this person. He knew that in time, Ma Chao would not be under him.

For this kind of character, since it is destined to be an enemy, it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible.

"Kill!"

Lu Bu, who burst out with all his strength and killing intent, was terrifying, even Zhao Yun and Dian Wei didn't dare to take his edge.

Although Ma Chao is brave, he is only in his early twenties, and his own martial arts are far from being successful. In the process of fighting with Lu Bu, he suddenly felt extremely great pressure.

The two armies fought together, although it was not a one-sided situation, but it was not far behind.

The Guanzhong soldiers are already elite divisions, not to mention that the current strength is far superior to the Xiliang army. With unpreparedness, the Xiliang army that was ambushed was naturally not the opponent of Guanzhong's soldiers.

It didn't take long for the Xiliang army to have a tendency to rout.

Wen Zhao fought vertically and horizontally, and the spear in his hand pierced the throat of a Xiliang soldier. He jerked his spear out, blood splattering his face.

"I haven't felt this way in a long time."

Since there are more and more talents under him, Chen Xu has almost never been on the battlefield in person. Today, he was finally able to give it a go, and he felt that his blood was boiling.

The battlefield is a place that can make men obsessed.

Dian Wei and Dian Man were around Chen Xu, and as long as someone approached, they would be killed. Of course, they wouldn't spoil Wen Zhao's interest, so they still put some Xiliang soldiers and handed them over to Chen Xu to solve by himself.
