Chapter 895: Burning the New City
Ali Yuantong nodded, and said to the generals with a solemn face: "General Li has made meritorious contributions to defending the city, and I will definitely report to the queen truthfully!" ”
"Thank you, General!"
Ali Yuantong glanced out of the city, and an angry look flashed in his eyes, "The Wei people are too cunning!" My 20,000 soldiers were ruined! ”
"General, what's next?" A subordinate general asked.
"What else can I do? You can only hold on to the city! I hope the Queen's side will go well! ”
The Wei army camp outside the city.
The generals followed Ma Teng into the big tent, and everyone looked excited.
"General Ma is really a good plan! The Wusun people lost 20,000 horses in one battle! A subordinate general said with admiration.
Ma Teng laughed, "It's a pity that I didn't succeed in opening the city gate!" ”
When the generals heard this, they couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Ma Teng thought for a moment and said, "Now if you want to be more lenient, you can only attack!" However, our army came over the mountains and mountains, and did not carry any siege equipment at all! If you rely on the improvised cloud ladder attack, I'm afraid it will only increase the casualties! The generals couldn't help but nodded, and there was a trace of worry on everyone's faces.
Ma Teng continued: "For the sake of today's plan, we might as well give up attacking Kuandian, and leave a part of our troops here to monitor the enemy forces in Kuandian and take prisoners, while the brigade will follow me to bypass Kuandian and directly attack Hengren!" If it succeeds, Wusun is finished! ”
The generals discussed in a whisper, and Adjutant General Yang Xian said worriedly: "But our army is alone in the depths, and there is no logistics supply, which is very risky!" ”
Ma Teng nodded, showing a determined look, and said categorically: "Although the risk is big. But the risk is worth it! General Li, you lead 20,000 soldiers to stay here. Don't, stick to the camp. Under no circumstances should you set out to meet the enemy! ”
The general Li Dian set off to receive the order.
Ma Teng glanced at the generals and raised his voice: "The rest of the generals, follow me to Hengren!" ”
"No!" The generals agreed in unison.
The next morning, when Ma Teng led 30,000 soldiers to set off for Hengren around Kuandian, Queen Wusun, who was far away in Xincheng, received an urgent flying pigeon message from Ali Yuantong. After reading the biography, Queen Wusun couldn't help but be shocked.
Iron Wolf, the general of Wusun, who noticed the change in Queen Wusun's expression below, couldn't help but ask, "Queen, what happened?" ”
Queen Wusun frowned and said: "Ma Teng led an army of 50,000 to appear under Kuandian City, and then left a section to contain Ali Yuantong, and he led the main force to bypass Kuandian and march to Hengren!" ”
As soon as these words were spoken, they set off. There was a commotion when the field was discovered.
As soon as I heard that Ma Teng actually led the main force under his command to bypass Kuandian and march towards Hengren, all the generals couldn't help but change color, this Hengren is located more than 100 miles west of Wusun Wangcheng, not only one of the largest cities in Wusun, but also the gateway to the west of Wangcheng, if this place is lost, then Wangcheng will be completely exposed to the Wei army's troops, this is not the most serious, the most serious is. If Hengren loses, then their army will be completely cut off from the way back and will be in a desperate situation.
"Quiet! You and others are all generals, so they are in the court. What kind of system? Queen Wusun exclaimed in displeasure, and found that the scene was quiet.
Queen Wusun couldn't help but look at Yang Kai on the side, but found that Yang Ri actually closed his eyes and looked like he didn't care about himself. Queen Wusun couldn't help but sigh, and secretly thought that she had to find a time to talk to the most trusted advisor.
Queen Wusun pondered for a moment. He resolutely ordered: "The whole army immediately abandons Xincheng and returns to Hengren!" Hengren can't afford to lose! ”
Although the generals are a little unwilling. But I couldn't think of a better way, so I agreed together rather frustratedly.
About two hours later, Cao Cao outside the new city received a flying pigeon from Ma Teng, Ma Teng wanted to report to him about yesterday's battle and his current actions, this letter was actually set off last night, but for various reasons, the carrier pigeon only arrived in Cao Cao's hands at this time, because of the delay of these two hours, Cao Cao missed the opportunity to launch a decisive battle against Queen Wusun.
As soon as Cao Cao read the biography, he had a premonition that Queen Wusun on the opposite side might run away, so he immediately ordered his soldiers to beat the drums of the generals.
A moment later, a group of generals led by Ma Chao and Dian Wei gathered in the crowd and waited for Cao Cao's order.
Cao Cao raised the flying pigeon in his hand and said: "This is the flying pigeon biography that Shou Cheng just sent, Shou Cheng launched a surprise attack on Kuandian last night, although he failed to occupy Kuandian, but also annihilated the opponent's 20,000 defenders!" ”
The generals couldn't help but be amazed.
"Queen Wusun should have also received the relevant report, with Queen Wusun's intelligence, she will definitely abandon Xincheng and return to Hengren to resist my Great Wei Heavenly Army!"
"Meng Qi!"
Ma Chao couldn't help but light up, and set off Lie Hong promised: "The end will be!" ”
Cao Cao took out an arrow from the handsome case and said, "You immediately lead all the light cavalry of the First Army to pursue the enemy!" Remember, don't fight, sweep like a whirlwind! I'll take care of the rest! ”
Ma Chao promised and took the arrow from Cao Cao's hand.
Cao Cao took out another arrow from the handsome case and said, "Zhang Ren, Yan Yan!" ”
Zhang Ren and Yan Yan immediately set off in line, "The last will be!" ”
"You two led the soldiers of the front battalion of the First Army to storm the city!"
"Order!" The two agreed in unison, and Yan Yan took the arrow from Cao Cao's hand.
Cao Cao raised his voice and said, "The rest of the generals will follow me to lead the main force to cover and kill the enemy army!" ”
"No!" The people will make a promise together.
The entire Wei army camp moved, Ma Chao led 10,000 cavalry to roar from Yuanmen, and other armies were also actively mobilizing.
About a quarter of an hour later, Cao Cao suddenly saw a monstrous fire rising from the city not far away, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then his heart moved, and a bad premonition rose.
At this moment, Ma Chao actually led dozens of horsemen to rush back.
"Your Majesty, Queen Wusun's slut ordered someone to start a fire in the city, and at the same time, the surrounding official roads and mountain paths were also engulfed in flames! There's no way we're going to chase it down! Ma Chao reported, looking extremely annoyed, and after Ma Chao found out, he almost wanted to strip off the hateful Queen Wusun and beat him up.
Cao Cao frowned and didn't say anything.
After several groups of scouts reported the same situation, Cao Cao ordered: "Order the scouts to monitor the development of the fire, and report any changes to me immediately!" The rest of the armies abandoned their original plans and returned to the camp to rest! Damn, I can only let go of Queen Wusun for the time being! ”
Cao Cao returned to the big tent with some chagrin, remembered something, and immediately called the herald and ordered: "Immediately send a message to General Ma Feige to inform me of the situation here!" Tell him to be careful of falling into the trap of Queen Wusun! The herald received the order and immediately withdrew. (To be continued.) )
