1037. Chapter 1037 Tai Shici taught Ma Chao a lesson
There was no decent resistance along the way, and the soldiers of the Xiliang Army gradually relaxed. As for the inevitable plundering after the city was conquered, it seemed to Ma that it was a normal thing. When the army went out, the soldiers had to be ready at all times.
I'm worried about my own safety, and if I can't let it out, something uncontrollable may happen.
When the army arrived outside Meiyang City, just as Ma expected, Meiyang ordered Zhao Fan to immediately open the city gate and choose to take refuge. There were 300 defenders in Meiyang City. These defenders were the original defenders of Meiyang.
military.
Knowing that there was no Bingzhou Army in the city, Ma let out a sigh of relief. After seeing the crazy Bingzhou Army, Ma didn't want to run into the Bingzhou Army again so soon. Obviously, the Bingzhou Army did not have many troops in Sanfu Land, so he let
He was able to capture Meiyang easily.
As night fell, the city of Meiyang gradually returned to quiet, but the lights in the government office were brightly lit. Meiyang ordered Zhao Fan to entertain the generals of the Xiliang army.
Ma did not refuse Zhao Fan's invitation. After leaving the general affairs to Ma Tie and Ma Dai, he led more than ten military generals to the government office.
Seeing that Zhao Fan was entertaining the generals with Jin wine, the generals who followed Ma moved their index fingers, and even Ma himself couldn't help but taste it.
Just when there was a lot of excitement in the government office, a cavalry of several hundred people headed towards the direction where the army was stationed. The horses' hooves were wrapped in thick cotton cloth. Even so, there was still a dull sound while walking on the road.
.
Taishi Ci didn't pay attention to this. Through daytime inspection, it can be seen that the Xiliang army was completely relaxed at this time. Especially after entering the city, the soldiers in the army were playing around in the city.
Ma even showed enough trust in Zhao Fan and went to the government office for the banquet in person.
A Liangzhou sergeant rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked incredulously at not far away. The momentum of hundreds of cavalry charging could definitely be described as earth-shattering. Where did these cavalry come from?
But I don’t know.
"It's the cavalry of the Bingzhou Army." A loud and shrill shout made the Xiliang army panic. At this distance, it was very difficult to resist the charge of the cavalry.
A smile appeared on the corner of Taishi Ci's mouth. The Xiliang army was already in panic. Even if the horse had all kinds of abilities, it would not be able to escape defeat this time.
"Kill!" Taishi Ci shouted, leaping on his horse to kill him. There were 500 flying cavalry following Taishi Ci in the battle this time.
Five hundred flying cavalry rushed into the Xiliang army, like tigers rushing into a flock of sheep. Wherever they passed, the Xiliang army officers and soldiers all gave way.
After Ma Tie and Ma Dai heard the commotion in the army, they did not dare to neglect and hurriedly summoned their troops to resist the flying cavalry. However, Ma Tie ignored the power of the flying cavalry. Thousands of soldiers were defeated by the flying cavalry in just half an hour.
The cavalry penetrated the formation. After the formation was penetrated, the soldiers scattered and fled. In such a situation, the soldiers were more worried about their own lives.
After receiving the news from the army, Ma, who was having a banquet in the government office, changed his expression. He stood up and slapped the table and said: "Zhao Fan, I would like to ask you, are you responsible for what happened in the city?"
Zhao Fan, who originally had a flattering look on his face, gradually became serious. He gently placed the wine cup on the table and sneered: "Ma, you led troops and horses to attack the city of the Marquis of Jin. Such a crime is unforgivable. Come here."
, capture these people and send them to Chang'an."
"How dare Shu Zian do this." Ma suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, and the two approaching soldiers were killed by Ma with one sword. Such a fierce power made the sergeants who were about to swarm forward slightly stunned.
"Capture the horse alive and you will be rewarded with a hundred gold!" Zhao Fan shouted.
With the heavy gold, there is no shortage of brave men. Many soldiers looked moved when they heard about the last time they captured horses alive. One hundred gold is enough for a family to have enough food and clothing.
The generals who followed the horse drew their weapons from their waists, and under the leadership of the horse, they attacked Zhao Fan on the opposite side.
Even though the soldiers who were ambushing around them were crazy under the stimulation of money, what they faced was a huge difference in strength. How powerful the team of generals with horses as their heads was. Wherever they went, there was no single enemy.
Many soldiers showed fear when they saw this. Although money is good, if they don't have the life to enjoy it, they might as well choose to continue living.
Zhao Fan kept directing the soldiers to come forward, but when he saw the horse that was coming to kill, his expression changed slightly. The strength of the horse was beyond his expectation. He originally thought that with more than a hundred people, he could trap the horse and others here.
, if you can capture the horse alive, it will definitely be a great achievement.
Ma was the commander in chief of the Xiliang Army's attack on Chang'an. When Taishi Ci and Zhao Fan planned the plan together, Zhao Fan had great doubts about the possibility of the success of this strategy. After all, judging from Ma's performance on the battlefield,
He is a strategic military commander.
Opening the city gate and choosing to surrender, it really lowered the vigilance of the Xiliang army as Taishi Ci expected. The Xiliang army did not even conduct a detailed search of Meiyang, otherwise Taishi Ci would lead 500 flying cavalry to hide in the city.
He could escape so easily.
"General, the situation in the army is critical now." A general advised.
Ma Leng snorted: "If we can't kill Zhao Fan today, I don't understand the anger in my heart."
Some soldiers couldn't stand Ma's cruel tactics and quietly retreated out of the door. Ma stepped forward and slashed with his long sword, causing blood to flow from Zhao Fan's neck.
Ma Youzi stabbed his sword twice in displeasure before leading his generals to rush to the army.
At this time, the Xiliang army had fallen into chaos. Facing such a sudden attack by the flying cavalry, even though Ma Dai led the infantry behind Ma Tie to support them hard, it was not of much use to the situation in the army.
In the face of such a surprise attack, the panicked soldiers in the army will cause great harm to the entire army. The pushing and shoving between soldiers will cause more soldiers to be injured.
Ma quickly rushed to the army. After seeing the situation in the army, he was furious. These more than ten thousand soldiers were the elite of the Xiliang army and the main force to break through Chang'an. If the losses were too serious, this time
The attack on Chang'an might end in vain.
"Command the cavalry to follow my general to kill the enemy! Seal all city gates. No one is allowed to enter or exit without my general's order," Ma said.
At this time, we are in our own army. If the cavalry goes out to fight, it will cause a lot of harm to the infantry. Even if the horse understands the reason, it has to do so. If it cannot drive out the Bingzhou army as quickly as possible,
If so, the morale of the military will definitely be shaken.
