Three Kingdoms: The Reverse Son of the Guan Family, Dragon Blessing Jingxiang

"Fifty miles away, the Wei army's soldiers and horses cover the sky, and most of them are cavalry, well-equipped... quite like the past, quite like the old days..."

Tan Ma was still panting, but he finally gave an overview of the matter.

It was just the last words that seemed to make him quite afraid.

"Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, looks like Tiger and Leopard Cavalry..."

Finally, Tan Ma chanted the last sentence.

And following his words, everyone was shocked.

"What?"

The Di tribe followed Ma Chao and fought against Cao Cao. Against the Xiliang cavalry, Cao Cao sent out the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, so... the Di tribe's Tanma could recognize the composition of this cavalry team from its dress.

"How could it be a tiger and leopard knight?"

Lei Tong was the first to question, "Didn't the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry be buried in the Sunset Valley in Jiangxia, Jingzhou? Even its commander Cao Chunyi died in Jingxiang? Where did these 30,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry appear again..."

It is said to be 30,000, but actually...it is impossible that the entire Cao Xiu team is composed of tiger and leopard cavalry.

However, there were more than ten thousand cavalry among them. After Cao Chun's death, Cao Cao sent Cao Xiu to collect the remnants of the tiger and leopard cavalry, and then selected captains of ten and centurions from the military camp to reorganize this elite tiger and leopard cavalry. ride.

Even among them, more than half of the southern Huns were added.

After Cao Cao defeated Wuhuan and massacred Liucheng, the five chanyus of the Southern Xiongnu all surrendered to Cao Cao. In addition to sending Cai Wenji back to the Central Plains, they also sent an elite Hu cavalry team to Cao Cao for Cao Cao to follow.

This Hu Cavalry and the elites from Cao's camp gathered together to form this brand new Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.

The defeat on the battlefield of Sanba made Cao Cao realize that the situation in central Sichuan was urgent, so... he dispatched this army, and even dispatched the only commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry - Qianliju, Cao Xiu!

Lei Tong was still emphasizing, "The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry have been destroyed long ago. It can't be the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry..."

He seemed to want to use this method to cheer up the Di soldiers and horses here.

Never thought that Ma Chao said directly, "It is not impossible! Cao Cao is domineering in Jiuzhou, and a tiger and leopard cavalry is destroyed. He can assemble another tiger and leopard cavalry with a flip of his hand. Of course, we don't need to care about who they are." Legion, we only know that this is an invading enemy! All we need to do is give it a heavy blow."

Speaking of this, Ma Chao noticed Wang Yi who was tied up beside her. Her cheeks turned red, as if she had something to say.

Ma Chao took out the rag that blocked her mouth.

Wang Yi laughed loudly, "Hahahaha... the traitor Ma Chao, you can't escape... 30,000 heavenly soldiers are coming, I... I will watch you being crushed to ashes with my own eyes!"

In sharp contrast to Wang Yi's boldness and staunchness, Cao Hong remained silent even when he heard Cao Xiu coming with tiger and leopard cavalry for reinforcements.

He deliberately remained silent and cherished his words like gold.

It was as if he expected Ma Chao to treat him like a fart, but inadvertently farted him.

At this time, Ma Chao couldn't care about Cao Hong. When he saw Wang Yi's smile, he also laughed, "I was worried that I would not be able to hold Bian City securely. Now it is just right. Then Cao Xiu came to the door, and I accepted it with a smile." ! Just solve this difficult problem once and for all!"

As he spoke, Ma Chao waved his hand and said, "Push Wang Yi to the city wall and let her open her eyes to see how this general defeated the reinforcements who rebelled against Wei!"

At this point, Ma Chao's eyes narrowed, and his tone became more meticulous, "In my opinion, no matter how many Wei troops there are, they are just local chickens and dogs--"

this…

Everyone was shocked by Ma Chao's words.

A fierce battle just took place here, and a powerful enemy is pressing down on the other side. Under such circumstances...

This mighty general seemed to have no fear at all.

This kind of confidence infected countless people for a time.

"Walk--"

Ma Chao roared loudly.

Lei Ding quickly ordered: "All Di soldiers go to the north tower to defend the city -"

Lei Dingben gave the order for Ma Chao.

Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, Ma Chao's words came out directly, "Chief Lei? Who told you that this general is going to defend the city?"

ah…

Lei Ding was startled.

But when Ma Chao flicked his bright red cloak, for just a moment, he seemed to have turned into the god of war holding a murderous weapon, exuding bloodthirsty and murderous aura.

"Pass this general's order to send five thousand cavalry to form an array outside the city. When the anti-Wei army arrives, my general's cavalry will charge and crush the enemy's formation——"

Ma Chao's voice always seems to have the flavor of "gold war and iron horse";

This is the long-lost pride of "one shot kills, one ride kills a thousand" after entering Shu and sitting on the bench...

This passion infected every Di soldier present.

“Fight, fight, fight—”

For a moment, everyone shouted in unison.

The sound shook the heaven and the earth.

It seemed that just because of Ma Chao, the evil aura of everyone here spread out and swept out in one breath.

…

…

Zhang Fei, Ma Yunlu, Ma Dai, and Wu Lan's soldiers and horses were in ambush ten miles north of Xiabian City.

At this time, a fast horse galloped up, it was Tan Ma, "Report, Third General, I am very happy, Xiabian City was bravely captured by General Ma Chao and the Di soldiers!"

"Report..." At this time, another fast horse galloped over. Compared with the joy of the previous soldier, this soldier seemed extremely nervous, "Cao Xiu's 30,000 cavalry are only twenty miles away from our army!"

When the news came out, Ma Yunlu and Ma Dai turned as white as paper.

Especially Ma Yunlu, she is young and has experienced few battlefields. She has never seen such an urgent situation.

She couldn't help but murmur in a low voice: "Cao Xiu has 30,000 cavalry? We... only have 5,000 cavalry!"

Ma Dai took a deep look at Zhang Fei, and then comforted Ma Yunlu: "I'm afraid you have forgotten that in the past, General Zhang was under the Dangyang Bridge in Changbanpo with only a hundred cavalry in his hands, but he drove back millions of Cao's troops with three tiger roars. , this time...most likely..."

Ma Dai didn't finish what he said, but the meaning... was already clear.

In his opinion, the strategy of the third general Zhang Fei this time was probably the same as that of Changbanpo.

The ambush... was actually not the real purpose. The real purpose was to bluff and make Cao Xiu retreat temporarily.

In fact…

This condition is indeed met.

First, Shimoben Castle has been captured.

Second, there is an ambush ahead, and I don’t know whether it is true or not.

In this situation, any more prudent general would not choose to advance rashly.

It is precisely based on this idea that Ma Dai feels that... the battle of Shimoben is over, at least the current battle cannot be fought.

Of course, this is all speculation…

"Will it be like this? Will it be Changban Slope again?" Ma Yunlu bit his lip, feeling nervous.

Ma Dai nodded heavily, "The three generals today can't be worse than the three generals in Changbanpo, right?"

With this in mind, Ma Dai's eyes focused on Zhang Fei's cheek again.

In fact, Ma Dai's guess... was all wrong.

Admittedly, his analysis was correct. With the city lost, the ambush unknown, and the famous general Zhang Fei in Shu, any general in Cao Wei would choose to focus on stability and avoid his sharpness.

If it were the Zhang Fei of the past, he would also think so.

But... because of "God of War" and because of the huge defeat in the battle of "God of War", there is no doubt that... Zhang Fei's understanding of this battle is brand new and comprehensive.

The understanding of Cao Xiu is also "innovative".

In this battle in "The God of War", Zhang Fei lost because he underestimated Cao Xiu, a leading figure among the second generation of Cao Wei.

In "Fighting the God of War", Zhang Fei and Ma Chao set up an ambush on the outside and used a bluff, while Wu Lan and Lei Tong were stationed at the base, in an attempt to make Cao Xiu retreat.

Who would have thought that Cao Xiu would advance instead of retreating——

This is also the place where Zhang Fei and Ma Chao made mistakes in the story of "The God of War", and where the Battle of Xiabian was defeated in one breath.

It was precisely based on this story that Zhang Fei had a new understanding of Cao Xiu.

This kid is brave and resourceful, and more importantly, he dares to fight and fight hard. Others are afraid of ambushes, but he doesn't care so much that he won't be bluffed!

This boy is definitely a leader among the second generation of Cao Wei!

In "The God of War", Cao Xiu is described as "riding his horse as fast as lightning and defeating the enemy in an instant"...

Therefore, he will definitely kill him.

Will!

So, what is Cao Xiu's weakness?

Based on Zhang Fei's understanding of having read "The God of War" more than a hundred times.

Being brave, resourceful, and daring to fight are precisely Cao Xiu's weaknesses.

Zhang Fei's bet was that Cao Xiu's army would go deep alone, and he and Ma Chao would attack from both sides. What he was betting on was whether the two of them could form a joint force to capture the thief and the king.

With this in mind, Zhang Fei's eyes became firm and decisive.

He was already looking forward to this battle that could rewrite the story of the Battle of Shibian in "God of War".

What he is looking forward to more is how he and Ma Chao can achieve it and take the lead among all the armies——

…

…

Shuzhong, on the mountain road leading to Xiabian City from Hanzhong.

A cavalry team of 30,000 people is marching. The general leading it is an upright man in his prime. Even though he is wearing thick armor, you can still see the lightness of his figure.

Especially the movement when holding a spear while driving a horse, there is a sense of weightlessness.

Among the soldiers and horses behind him, there were 10,000 horsemen wearing black armor. Half of them were Han and Hu people. The Han people were mostly equipped with heavy armor and held halberds. This was the "New Tiger and Leopard Cavalry" in "The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry". Tiger Riding”;

The half of the Hu people are wearing light armor and carrying the unique scimitars of the Huns at their waists. They are the "leopard" riders among the tiger and leopard cavalry.

Besides them there were twenty thousand cavalry.

A few years ago, because Cao Cao captured Yongliang, the supply of horses has always been Cao Wei's advantage.

The soldiers recruited from Xiliang can also be easily trained into cavalry, which is Cao Wei's biggest advantage.

Of course, in mountain warfare like Xiaben, the advantage of cavalry will undoubtedly be reduced.

But...because it was a rush for help.

The adaptation of the arms is important, but the speed of the journey is even more important.

Cao Cao could only dispatch this most mobile cavalry army.

It is no exaggeration to say that these are the only two large-scale cavalry regiments under Cao Cao. The other one is Cao Cao's son who is conquering Xianbei in the north - Huang Xuer Cao Zhang!

"Report——"

A company of two scouts came in a hurry. When they saw Cao Xiu, they did not dismount. They continued marching with Cao Xiu and reported.

"Something bad happened. The Di people rebelled in Xiabian City. Ma Chao sneaked into the city to gather the Di people. General Cao Hong was captured. Now... Xiabian City has been captured!"

The Tanma's voice just fell.

The second scout then reported: "General, there is an ambush of Shu troops fifteen miles ahead. The sky is full of dust and smoke. I don't know how many troops there are?"

Shimoben Castle fell?

Is there an ambush ahead?

Two pieces of information and two things in a row made Cao Xiu startled for a moment. After a brief thought, he waved his hand and ordered: "Stop the entire army and rest on the spot——"

"promise…"

Following the announcement from the messenger, the galloping legion suddenly stopped.

However, the soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry were still well-trained and distributed water bags in an orderly manner. Even when drinking water, each of them looked around vigilantly, with their other hand on the saber at their waist.

Cao Xiu stood up and dismounted...

He walked to a stone step and jumped up, then closed his eyes and pondered over the matter.

At this time, Zhang Ji, the military advisor accompanying the army, opened his mouth and said: "General, I don't know the number of enemy troops and horses in the ambush ahead. If I advance rashly, I am afraid that I will be ambushed by the Shu army... Besides, Xiabian City has been lost and the situation is not conducive to me. So rashly If we move forward... I'm afraid we will fall into a deep trap alone."

Zhang Ji was an important minister of Cao Wei.

In the past, after the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao wanted to go north, but had to send people to stabilize Guanzhong, so Xun Yu recommended Zhong Yao to go to Guanzhong. After Zhong Yao arrived in Chang'an, he boldly used this piece.

He was from Gaoling, Feng Yi. He successfully persuaded Ma Teng and Han Sui to side with Cao Cao in the battle between Cao and Yuan. He also persuaded Ma Teng to send troops to defeat Yuan Shao's good nephew and Bingzhou's senior officials, and let Ma Teng enter the army. As an official in the court, Han Sui was asked to send protons to Xudu, so that Cao Cao no longer had to worry about going west.

After that battle, Zhang Ji was named the governor of Yongzhou and the Marquis of Wu Shiting by Cao Cao.

Before leaving, Cao Cao specially held Zhang Ji's hand and told him with a smile - "You have returned to your hometown to serve as governor. It can be said that you have returned home in glory!"

You must know that under the two big mountains of "three mutual laws" and "abolition of history and establishment of animal husbandry", almost no one can return to his hometown to hold such important positions as governor and state pastor.

This can also show from the side that Cao Cao appreciates and respects Zhang Ji.

Today, although Cao Xiu leads the army, Zhang Ji still has a high say in this army.

As Zhang Ji's words came out, Cao Xiu let out a long sigh.

Zhang Ji originally thought that the young clan general should listen to his suggestion, withdraw from Hanzhong, and make long-term plans...

Who would have thought that Cao Xiu's words would make Zhang Ji get to know him again.

"This is the enemy's bluff!"

Cao Xiu first stated his conclusion, and then slowly explained, "If there were enough enemy soldiers, they could all enter the city directly? Why hide in ambush outside? Haha, this is just the enemy's lack of troops and trying to delay time, so they are bluffing - —”

this…

Zhang Ji was stunned by Cao Xiu's unique insights.

For the first time, he felt that this young general from Cao Wei might be better than Cao Hong, the old general from Xiaben City.

At this moment, Cao Xiu showed his resolute side again.

"To fight against thieves, we must plan our strategy and attack the enemy vigorously. Since we know that the enemy is bluffing...then our army should rush to kill Bian. While the enemy's newly captured Bian is not stable, we should counterattack and come back. At that time, the enemy outside the city will The army retreats!"

Having said this, Cao Xiu immediately ordered, "Send my military order and all the cavalry will march immediately and go straight to Xiabian City——"

Having said that, he was the first to get on his horse...

And following his movements, the entire tiger and leopard cavalry moved together.

The Tigers and Leopards of the past had too much glory, but it was a pity that they were defeated in the end, but this new Tigers and Leopards, they want to prove that their edge is not inferior to that of their predecessors.

"Let you and others lie in ambush among the mountains, and the tigers and leopards will ride straight down, break the city, and massacre it—"

As he spoke, he waved the reins...

Zhang Ji quickly advised: "Major General, don't you think about it again?"

"Hahaha, what are you considering?" Cao Xiu laughed, "Those ambushing enemies must also think that I, Cao Xiu, dare not attack, and this... is the opportunity to win!"

At this point, Cao Xiu pointed his gun straight ahead, which was the direction of Xiabian City, and his heroic voice chanted again:

"Spend all your troops, attack the enemy unawares, follow me and kill -"

Just overnight, the team that was still resting quickly gathered.

The resounding sound of hooves from thirty thousand horses echoed throughout the valley.

That sound - boom, boom, boom!

Shocking!

…

…

"Report——"

Information spread to Zhang Fei like mushrooms after rain.

Just now, Zhang Fei, Ma Yunlu and Ma Dai learned that Ma Chao led his cavalry out of the city to form an array, as if he was going to fight the enemy in the wild.

Of course, considering that both Ma Chao and the Di soldiers are better at field battles and not good at attacking and defending cities, there is nothing wrong with forming formations outside the city, but...

When the opponent's strength is six times that of our own, and they are all cavalry, such a deployment seems a bit hasty.

"Third General, the enemy is about to arrive at...the ambush place——"

Tan Ma's voice came out.

Ma Yunlu and Ma Dai were shocked. They did not expect that Cao Xiu did not choose to withdraw his troops. Instead, he went deep alone and killed him...

this…

The development of the situation made Ma Yunlu and Ma Dai feel overwhelmed.

But fortunately, they still have an ambush...

Who would have thought that just when Ma Yunlu thought of this, Zhang Fei said directly: "Send the order, no one should act rashly, let them go -"

ah…

At this time, Ma Yunlu felt like crying.

If Cao Xiu's soldiers and horses were allowed to pass, it would be equivalent to their ambush in vain, which would be equivalent to...his brother Ma Chao would face the charge of 30,000 Wei cavalry.

At this time, Ma Yunlu's eyes were filled with tears. She was a woman who was not afraid of anything, but her only weakness was her brother!

Born to the same mother, they are known as "concubine and concubine". No one knows how difficult it is for them in this land of Yongliang?

At this moment, Cao Xiu's troops had arrived... and were fighting their way out of the ambush.

The entire ambush of soldiers and horses did not fire a single arrow.

There were tears in Ma Yunlu's eyes, and she murmured: "Three...three generals..."

Zhang Fei heard Ma Yunlu's voice. He was not good at comforting people. He knocked on his forehead, "I heard your elder brother said, don't you, a girl, have to learn from your elder brother and become a general? A general shouldn't cry. Nose! Haha, come on, give you Brother Zhang a smile."

this…

Ma Yunlu bit his lip and was at a loss for a moment.

Zhang Fei continued, "I have a daughter named Zhang Xingcai. She is only five years younger than you, but she already dares to love and hate. She won't cry like you!"

Hearing these words, it was like a magic power that made Ma Yunlu suddenly stop crying. She frowned and stared at the Wei army cavalry roaring past.

Ma Dai seemed to hear a slightly different flavor from Zhang Fei's words.

He also opened his mouth and asked quickly: "Third general, I finally heard... The third general got a military book from Mr. Yunqi of Jingzhou. This military book is called "Fighting the God of War". It is a military strategy that can rival Huang Shigong's "Tai Gong's Art of War" , but...is this possible?"

Ma Dai remembered the rapid advancement of Zhang Fei's strategy in the army.

He also thought of the incredible, dazzling and overwhelming actions of the third general Zhang Fei on the Sanba battlefield. He subconsciously thought of the current battlefield and also thought of the mysterious military book "Fighting the God of War".

Well…

Zhang Fei was stunned. He didn't expect "God of War" to be spread among the Ma family army, right?

Immediately "Hahaha..." Zhang Fei laughed, but his smile was very restrained.

While laughing, Zhang Fei said: "How can this "God of War" be compared to "Tai Gong's Art of War"? It is much better than "Tai Gong's Art of War", and that guy from Yun Qi is infinitely better than Huang Shigong..."

Zhang Fei could hardly say that he was better than Liu Hou Zhang Liang——

Yes, "Tai Gong's Book of War" talks about the art of war and strategy;

But what is "God of War" about?

It's the opening of the eyes of the sky, it's an open-book exam, it's writing out every move of the enemy in advance!

"Tai Gong's Book of War" can at most increase people's intelligence;

But "God of War" is so obvious that it's just cheating——

A moment of cheating, a moment of pleasure!

Keep cheating, keep having fun!
