The east gate of Wuguan City fell with a bang, sealing the Wei army that entered the city first, and then puffs of smoke came out of the barracks in various corners, and the flames were everywhere.

There was chaos in the city.

Before Wei Ba went out of the city, he ordered to deal with the suspension rope at the east gate, poured oil, and arranged a flexible warrior to lie above the city gate hole, and as soon as the Wei army entered the city, he lit the suspension rope and put down the iron gate. As for the other city gates, they had already been cut by him and sealed to death. He poured oil on everything that could be lit, and hid it in every corner, and one of the soldiers watched it, and when he heard the signal to move, he set it on fire and set fire to the city.

This is not only to set fire, but also to destroy all the materials that can be used, so that Sima Yi can only get an empty city. He knew very well that as soon as the morning dawned, those straw men at the head of the city would be discovered by the enemy, and Sima Yi would definitely send people to enter the city to check first, and ambush these people could deal a blow to the morale of the Wei army.

Wuguan City turned into a city of fire in a short period of time, and the Wei soldiers trapped in the city were nervous, but they were not flustered. Under the command of Jin Dongliu, some of them put out fires, and some lined up, preparing to meet the counterattack of the ambush soldiers.

Wei Ba did not ambush troops in the city. Every one of his men is precious, and he doesn't want to sacrifice here for nothing. Set a fire, and he quickly ran away, slipping away.

Outside the city, Sima Yi on the command platform looked at the smoke and fire in Wuguan City, Sima Yi lightly twisted his beard, and his face showed a trace of disappointment: "This is leaving?" ”

Sima Shi looked at him puzzled.

"I thought he would stay for a few more days, but I didn't expect him to leave now." Sima Yi chuckled: "It seems that he is still not ruthless enough, and he is reluctant to sacrifice his soldiers." With such a state of mind, how can you be a soldier? ”

"What does Father mean?"

"Fight to Zuihou soldier by soldier, but also delay as much time as possible. Wuguan City is strong, and our casualties will be very large, Shangxian and Shangluo. None can be compared. He can exchange one soldier for five or six of my soldiers, such a good thing. Where to find it? ”

Sima Shi pondered for a moment: "But, father, when you get to Shangxian or Shangluo, it will be more difficult for our army to supply the baggage. And he is closer to Guanzhong. He turned retreat into advance, turning disadvantage into advantage. ”

Of course, that's true. But if you exchange two or three thousand people for ten thousand of me, you can stop me for a few more days. It's still cost-effective. Sima Yi stood up: "Ci is not in charge of the troops, if you take care of the casualties of your subordinates, you will inevitably look forward and backward when fighting, and you will not dare to fight to the death." He knocked Sima Shi on the shoulder with the jade ruyi in his hand: "You must know that in many cases, the victory or defeat depends on who dares to fight hard." ”

Master Sima bowed down and said, "Thank you for my father's teachings. ”

Sima Yi nodded: "You immediately lead five thousand elite cavalry to pursue." Remember, there are many scouts. Don't rush to the front. He smiled: "I think, with Wei Ba's temperament, he probably won't run away so easily, and he won't be satisfied with being so simple as setting fire to Wuguan City." Along the way, you may encounter a lot of unexpected things. ”

Sima Shi was awe-inspiringly taught. Turned around and got off the command platform, took 5,000 soldiers, bypassed Wuguan City, and chased westward as fast as possible.

Wei Ba set a fire in Wuguan City, turned around and ran away. They all rode war horses, and after only running for more than half an hour, they saw Ma Cao and the others who had left two hours early.

"How about joining the army?" Ma Cao greeted him, took the initiative to pull Wei Ba's reins, and asked impatiently. The city's arrangements were to their credit, and he was now anxious to see if that toil had worked.

"Haha, that's a big fire." Wei Ba's eyebrows fluttered and said: "I don't dare to say more, at least hundreds of people will be burned to death." In fact, he already knew that it was Jin Dongliu who entered the city first, and with that person's cautious character, it was impossible for him to burn many people to death except for interference, just to boost morale and encourage the soldiers who withdrew from Wuguan, which exaggerated the results of the battle.

"That's great." Ma Cao's eyebrows lifted: "Join the army, what should I do next?" ”

"The enemy is coming, too." Wei Ba turned around and pointed: "See those smoke and dust?" ”

Ma Caoshou set up a pergola, looked at it carefully, and shouted loudly: "Lin Dong, lie down and listen." ”

A young man fell to the ground, put his ear to the ground, listened for a moment, stood up, and patted the dirt on his body. "Joining the army, there are only thirty or fifty horsemen, it should be the scouts who rush to the front, and five miles behind them, there are more men and horses."

Wei Ba glanced at the young man who looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old in surprise, and laughed: "I didn't expect you to have such a ability." ”

"He used to be a horse thief, and listening to the sound was a necessary means of survival, otherwise he would have died." Ma Cao haha smiled, rubbed his hands and said, "Join the army, we will eat these people?" ”

"Of course, but we have to fight quickly, otherwise we will be in trouble if we are dragged down."

"Good!" Ma Cao said loudly and immediately ordered to hide. Wei Ba left the avenue and hid behind a dirt slope. Dunwu and the others naturally scattered on both sides of the road, crouched in the ditch on the side of the road, and put the crossbow in their hands with arrows.

They had just hidden, and after a while, more than thirty cavalry Wei troops appeared in the field of vision, they were very careful, the two rushed to the front, holding the halberd in their hands, it could be seen that these were elite, experienced, not slow, but they were vigilant enough, ready to deal with all kinds of mutations.

Ma Cao and others arranged tripping ropes, which were soaked in mud in advance, dried in the sun, put on the road, and then covered with fallen leaves, which could not be distinguished without looking carefully. The two knights who rushed to the front urged their horses to pass, and one of them, as if sensing something unusual, turned on his horse's back, and looked back at what looked like two dead snakes hidden in the fallen leaves.

The war horse was running extremely fast, and in the moment he looked back, the war horse had already rushed out a dozen steps, and by the time the knight realized what it was, the companions behind him had already rushed to the tripping horse.

At that moment, the two tripwires suddenly tightened, and the two horses that had just rushed to the ground tripped before they could react. The knights on horseback turned over and fell off their horses, and they followed the momentum of the horses, rolled on the ground, half-squatted on the ground, drew their war knives at their waists, prepared for defense, and shouted: "Enemy attack-"

The other knights reacted quickly, and the two knights swung their swords and slashed at the tripwire.

The knights behind reined in their horses, and the horses neighed and tried to stop, while some knights turned their horses and rushed towards the ridges on both sides.

Wei Ba looked at the Wei knights who had been suddenly changed but were still orderly and did not panic, and secretly praised himself. These elites of the Wei army are really extraordinary, with fast response and tacit understanding, no wonder the Wei army can dominate the world with iron horses, and still be at ease with one enemy and two. This time, if he hadn't waited patiently for the opportunity and caught Cao Rui off guard, with the situation that no one in Wu Shu could completely trust anyone, how could there be such a situation.

However, although these Wei knights reacted quickly and cooperated very tacitly, Dunwu and Ma Cao, who were ambushed on both sides, did not give them more opportunities. The moment the tripping horse was pulled up, the soldiers armed with crossbows stood up from the ditch beside the road, pulled the crossbow machine, and shot a dense rain of arrows. While shooting arrows, they rushed towards the Wei army on the main road.

However, at a distance of about ten steps, although the Wei soldiers instinctively raised their shields, several knights were shot in the blink of an eye, screaming and falling off their horses. The other knights shouted angrily, some raised their crossbows, some raised their horses, and more turned their horses directly in front of them and charged at the soldiers.

Dunwu shot the repeater in one breath, drew his sword out of its sheath, roared, and with a flash of the long knife, a Wei knight turned over and fell off his horse.

Ma Cao and the others also roared and rushed forward, he danced the long-handled three-pointed two-edged knife with both hands, and with a loud roar, he knocked open the knight's war knife on horseback, and stabbed the knight's lower abdomen. The sharp blade ran down the knight's thigh and stabbed deeply. He followed with a strong provocation, knocking the knight off his horse, and then slashed at another knight.

More than 200 Ma family troops and more than 30 military guards swarmed up, surrounding the more than 30 Wei army knights and slashing and killing. The Wei knights were suddenly ambushed, lost their speed advantage, and the difference in numbers was huge, they were not opponents at all, and they were all killed quickly.

Wei Ba didn't dare to stay longer, the Wei army raised the alarm at the first time when it encountered an ambush, and the main force behind it would soon arrive. He immediately ordered to take away more than twenty war horses that were still able to move, and quickly fled the scene. There are too many people in the Ma family, and it is impossible to outrun the knights of the Wei army with only two legs, and once they are caught up, they will definitely be more than lucky. Therefore, according to Wei Ba's prior deployment, under the guidance of the guide, they ran towards the slopes on both sides, and soon disappeared into the mountains.

By the time Sima Shi arrived with the main force, there was no longer a single Shu Han army, only more than 30 Wei knights and more than a dozen wounded war horses were left in a pool of blood. Many of the Wei knights had not yet lost their breath, and they groaned in pain, begging Sima Shi to save them.

Sima Shi sent a new striker on the one hand, and on the other hand, he asked people to help those knights up and inquire about the battle just now. He rushed to the news as soon as he received the news, but he still couldn't catch up, and he couldn't help but be a little shocked.

When he learned from the mouths of those knights that it was Wei Ba who was ambushing them, Sima Shi clenched his fists and took a deep breath, and after a moment, he released his fist and ordered the number of strikers to be increased to two hundred.

Because the knights said that the number of people who ambushed them was about two hundred.

He looked at the hillsides on either side, and his sword eyebrows twisted slightly. The more than 200 Shu Han soldiers entered the mountain, and it was impossible for him to let the cavalry dismount and go into the mountain to chase. Thinking of waiting for the army to arrive, more than 200 people did not dare to come to challenge easily. But the question is, did Wei Ba let these people into the mountain just to avoid the pursuit of the iron cavalry? Could he have other plans?
