Chapter 83 The Butcher(2/2)

Liao Hua said in a voice: "Hmm? The general means..."

A trace of cold murderous intent flashed through Ma Yue's eyes and said sternly: "It's very simple. First, use He Yi's army to consume the spirit of the Han army. When the Han army is trapped in a battle group and cannot extricate itself, eight hundred bandits suddenly came out and killed from behind. The Han army will inevitably collapse without fighting. The two thieves of Cao Cao and Liu Bei can be defeated in one fell swoop, and Yingchuan can be settled!"

Liao Hua looked stern and said in a calm voice: "The general understands that the general is going to use the death and blood of He Yi's tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers to exchange for a chance and a chance to defeat the Han army!"

Ma Yue said coldly: "That's exactly that!"

Liao Hua felt awe-inspiring in his heart, butcher! What a cold-blooded butcher! The lives of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers are just bargaining chips in Ma Yue's heart.

Bian Xi frowned and said, "After saying so much, the general has not made it clear that we should help you kill Cao Cao, Liu Bei and the other two? It seems that in the Battle of Yingshui, what's wrong with Yingchuan soldiers without us four of us?"

Ma Yuesen smiled coldly and said, "That's right, you really have nothing to do with the Battle of Yingshui. The task of the Yingchuan army is to regain Changshe, seize the food, grass and supplies of the Han army, and cut off the retreat route of the Han army!"

Liao Hua said in a voice: "Recapture Changshe and cut off the retreat of the Han army!?"

Ma Yue said: "Yes, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are all heroes of the world. Yingshui may not be able to achieve complete success in the battle, and it is difficult to ensure that they are not escaped. The 800 bandits have limited troops. If they want to defeat the enemy of Yingshui, they cannot withdraw extra troops to intercept the Han army. Therefore, to regain Changshe and cut off the retreat route of the Han army, they need to rely on four generals, Di Yingchuan soldiers."

Hearing that he could rob the Han army's food, grass and supplies, Bian Xi and others could not wait to respond: "I dare not obey the order!"

Ma Yue said coldly: "The four generals can secretly dig tunnels in Changshe City, and they can claim to the soldiers to dig soil to repair the city walls to avoid suspicion of spies in the army! After the tunnel is dug, they will lead their troops to secretly sneak into the tunnels when the city is broken. After Cao Cao leads his army to leave the city, they can fight out in one fell swoop, take back the city, and seize the food, grass and supplies of the Han army."

Bian Xi and Peng Tuo were so happy that they scratched their ears and said repeatedly: "The General's plan is very wonderful, so this should be the case."

Ma Yue said again: "After capturing the city, the four generals still need to send troops to intercept the Han army halfway. They should not let the Han army escape easily. They should drag it until our army arrives no matter what."

Liao Hua said proudly: "Please rest assured General. As long as Liao Hua has a breath, he will never let go of a soldier in the Han army."

...

When Liao Hua was about to be ecstatic, he suddenly heard a bandit screaming: "General, look at it, eight hundred bandits!"

Liao Hua was shocked. Eight hundred bandits defeated Yingshui's enemy so quickly? He was so powerful! He hurriedly asked, "Where are the Eight hundred bandits?"

"Southwest direction!"

Liao Hua turned around quickly, and saw smoke and dust rolling in the southwest direction, a large group of black cavalry swept over like a tide, taking the lead with a blood-colored flag. The four flaunting words "Eight Hundred Bandits" were embroidered on it. In just a moment, the Eight Hundred Bandits had already rushed forward, and a cold voice sounded: "Who is leading the army?"

Liao Hua ran out quickly and saw that it was Ma Yue, and hurriedly shouted: "General. Liao Hua is here!"

Ma Yue rode his horse forward and asked Liao Hua, "Liao Hua, where is the Han army? Where is Cao Cao?"

Liao Hua turned his hand and pointed to the northeast direction and replied, "He's heading northeast direction."

"How many hours have you been away?"

"Cao Cao's army has passed three hours. Xiahou Yuan's army has just been defeated and left shortly."

"Fail?"

Ma Yue glanced at Liao Hua coldly. Although Yingchuan soldiers had more exquisite equipment, they were still mobs and naturally could not intercept the Han army. This was long before Ma Yue expected. What he was concerned about was whether Changshe had been recaptured. If Changshe did not recapture and Cao Cao led his army back to Changshe to defend the city, he would have failed.

"Has Changshe regained it?"

Liao Hua said: "It has been recaptured."

Ma Yue sighed relieved when he heard this. As long as Changshe regained his food, grass and supplies, the defeat was decided. Even if Liao Hua and others could not cut off their retreat, the Han army would not escape the fate of eventually destroying the land. No matter how powerful Cao Cao was, he could not allow thousands of Han troops under his command to travel hundreds of miles to retreat to Chenliu overnight.

"Chasing~~"

Ma Yue took a move and led the bandits and light cavalry to sweep away.

Seeing the 800 bandits roaring away, a trace of guilt suddenly appeared on Liao Hua's face. No matter how cold-blooded and cruel Ma Yue was, he at least fulfilled his promise. At least he was a man with confidence, at least he helped the Yingchuan soldiers defeat the Han army, but what did the Yingchuan soldiers do? Thinking about his performance just now, Liao Hua couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"Brothers, please cheer me up. Don't be so mean that you haven't had enough food for three days. Look at the 800 bandit brothers, all of them are good. We Yingchuan soldiers are like them, and they are all raised by their fathers and mothers. Why are they not as good as them?" Liao Hua took a breath, jumped onto a big stone, raised his arms and shouted, "If you are a man, go with me and fight with the Han army."

...

Ma Yue led 800 bandits to chase the northeast less than 20 miles. Suddenly, he saw Yingchuan soldiers running in chaos ahead, with more than 2,000 people. The first one escaped quickly, and it was Sun Zhong's guy. Behind the Yingchuan soldiers, there was a Han army following him and chasing him, but the number was only four or five hundred.

Ma Yue's brows frowned. These Yingchuan soldiers were really useless. The army of more than 2,000 people was killed by the Han army of four or five hundred. It was a waste of the excellent equipment given by Ma Yue. Light armor, longbows, spears, wooden shields, and steel knives were originally powerful tools for killing people, but when they reached the hands of Yingchuan soldiers, it was no different from the sharpened wooden sticks at both ends.

Guo Tu took the horse forward and reminded Ma Yue: "Big leader, this is just a partial army, not the main force of Cao's army."

Ma Yue nodded calmly and said in a deep voice: "Send the order, the entire army will walk around and continue to advance north."

...

Le Jinzheng rushed his troops to cover up and kill the Yellow Turban soldiers. Suddenly, he saw a large number of cavalry sweeping over from the south. He was in a state of great momentum. He was shocked and shouted loudly: "The whole army stopped pursuing! Stop pursuing~~"

"Form a formation, form a formation immediately and prepare to fight~~"

With Le Jin's order, the Han army slowly stopped and began to form a formation.

However, what surprised Le Jin was that the bandits did not charge before the Han army formed a defensive formation, but instead bypassed the scattered military formation of the Han army, swept through the field like a locust, and soon disappeared on the gradually dim horizon.

While Le Jin was shocked and suspicious, another Han army rushed from the south like a tide, colliding with Sun Zhongdi Yingchuan soldiers. After a brief confrontation, the Yingchuan soldiers quickly collapsed and dispersed into countless small groups, running towards the wilderness on both sides. The Han army did not chase after the Yingchuan soldiers, but continued to advance northward. Soon they met Le Jin's troops, but they were more than a thousand elite soldiers led by Xiahou Yuan.

"General Xiahou!"

Le Jin was inexplicably surprised.

"Wen Qian?" Xiahou Yuan asked loudly, "The Lord Public Security is here?"

Le Jin replied: "The lord is in General Xiahou, General Cao Ren and General Li Dian's guards retreated north first. The last general led 500 elite troops to leave behind the rear."

"Have you ever seen bandits and light cavalry?"

“Going north.”

Xiahou Yuan's face changed and he said anxiously: "It's urgent. Wen Qian can quickly lead the elite troops of his headquarters to go to rescue with someone."

Le Jin said anxiously: "General, please wait."

Xiahou Yuan said: "Hmm?"

Le Jin said: "General and bandits are all light cavalry. They travel like the wind and are as fast as lightning. We are all infantrymen. We cannot catch up with them. The only way to do this is to take risks. Return to the army to gain wisdom and win the leader. If the bandits are not prepared, they may succeed."

Xiahou Yuan's expression moved and said in a calm voice: "Wen Qian means to return to the army unexpectedly?"

Le Jin said: "That's right."

Xiahou Yuan said: "Our army lost all the supplies and lacked siege equipment. How can we seize the city?"

Le Jin said: "You can defeat the thief army and deceive the city!"

Xiahou Yuan attacked the clan and said, "If you can capture Changshe and regain the food, grass and supplies, the lord's army can slowly retreat into the city to defend, and you will no longer be afraid of horses leaping over eight hundred bandits. When the reinforcements in Yanzhou arrive, the eight hundred bandits will be defeated in a short time. Well, according to Wen Qian's words, you and I will join forces to get Changshe."

Le Jin bowed and said, "The general is wise."

...

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the wilderness is silent.

"Woooooooooooooo~~"

Under the dark sky, a strange sound of trumpet sounded again.

Xiahou Dun rode his horse to Cao Cao and said in a deep voice: "Meng De, those damn miscellaneous people are catching up again!"

Cao Cao held his forehead with his hands and exhaled, saying quite annoyed: "These bandits are really indifferent."

"wrong!"

Chen Gong next to Cao Cao suddenly said coldly.

Cao Cao asked, "What's wrong with the public platform?"

Chen Gong said: "The sound of the horn clearly originated from the north. The bandits and cavalry kept following and chasing. Why did they go around in front of each other this time? It was so weird."

Cheng Yu pondered for a moment and said suddenly: "My lord is not good. I think Ma Yue has led the main force of 800 bandits to catch up!"

Cao Cao was shocked and said in a lost voice: "Why is Zhongde so sure?"

Cheng Yu said: "As the Gongtai said, the bandits and cavalry kept following and harassing, intending to slow down our marching speed, but they were seen through by the lord and failed. This time, he suddenly escaped and suddenly appeared in front of him, but he must have received the order from Ma Yue's military, changing his strategy of following and harassing, and trying to intercept our army at all costs! Doesn't this prove that Ma Yue's bandits' main force is already close?"

Cao Cao took a breath of air and said sternly: "The eight hundred bandits have caught up so quickly, what should I do?"

Chen Gong said: "Don't worry, lord, there is Zhangzhuang not far ahead. Zhangzhuang is an old acquaintance with the palace. Moreover, Zhangzhuang has a fort built by Zhangzhuang, which is mostly strong and has enough to defend. Why not go to Zhangzhuang to avoid the 800 bandits' attacks?"

"Woooooooooooooo~~"

"Woooooooooooooo~~"

"Woooooooooooooo~~"

As Chen Gong finished speaking, a long and long sound of trumpets sounded from the south, east and west at the same time, echoing the sound of trumpets in the north. Under the cold and dark night sky, a bleak murderous aura spreads endlessly with the sound of trumpets. In a flash, a faint thunder sound slowly sounded from the sky, gradually becoming a rumble sound, as if thousands of troops were coming from all directions.

There would be no such momentum without cavalry above a thousand cavalry.

"The whole army stopped advancing ~~"

"Form a formation, form a formation on the spot~~"

"Circular defense array, ready to face the enemy~~"

Xiahou Dun's shrill roar broke through the sky, and the already exhausted Han soldiers stopped moving forward one after another, and began to form a formation nervously under the yell of the officers.

"Don't leave Cao Cao~~"

"Catch Cao Cao alive~~"

"The leader will be rewarded by those who capture Cao Cao alive!"
