"So Cao Hong is planning to block us to the south of Lingju County?" Zhang Jia in the big tent was looking at the map on the table with a serious face. On the map, the place of Lingju County has been shocked.
Marked with a flag.
"Yes, I think this Cao Hong is really planning to break with Jingzhou, otherwise he would definitely not take such a stance." Fazheng, who had just returned, nodded and continued: "But at this time, the situation in the north has gradually stabilized, even if I
After Yuan Shao's defeat has been determined, it is only a matter of time before Cao Cao captures Jizhou. The longer it takes, the better it will be for Cao Cao. It is said that the forces in Jizhou have been divided into three groups at this time, and Yuan Shao often ignores affairs due to illness, and chaos in Jizhou is imminent.
.”
"Hey, the military advisor is right. The sun is indeed setting in Jizhou at this time." Zhang Jia sighed. He also knew the situation in Jizhou. In the past, Tian Feng, Fazheng and others were able to temporarily suppress the fights, but now
Yuan Shaoxin's defeat in Jizhou probably made people panic.
"Then Ma Teng really doesn't want to help me in Jingzhou?" Zhang Jia said with a cold face. He originally wanted to force Ma Teng to surrender to Jingzhou, but now it seems that Ma Teng is so capricious, even if he surrenders to Jingzhou,
He may not be loyal to his lord.
"Well, he may have thought that the arrival of our Jingzhou troops would make Cao Hong jealous and not interfere in the decisive battle between him and Han Sui, right?" Fazheng said with a slightly sarcastic smile.
"In this case, we will just sit back and watch Ma Teng's defeat." Zhang Jia pondered for a moment. Even if there was a decisive battle between Ma Teng and Han Sui, Cao Hong would be worried that Jingzhou would not participate in the war in a short period of time. When Cao Hong participates in the war, it will probably be Han Sui's decision.
When Sui and Ma Teng were both defeated, Cao Cao would not leave behind a powerful Han Sui.
……………………………………………………
Early the next morning, the gates of Xuanwei City were opened wide, and groups of soldiers and horses rushed out of the city. The first ones were Ma Teng and his sons, followed closely by Ma Teng's generals. This time, in addition to the 5,000 people left behind to guard the city.
Outside Xuanwei City, Ma Teng brought out all the soldiers and horses under his command.
Behind the army were groups of infantry carrying siege equipment, and catapults and manholes were transported out of the city.
Xuanwei City is only a few dozen miles away from Wuwei City. Within a few hours, Ma Teng and others arrived outside Wuwei City. The 50,000 troops, mostly cavalry, gathered outside Wuwei City and vaguely surrounded Wuwei City.
Groups of cavalry outside Wuwei City kept running back and forth, inquiring about the surrounding situation.
"Father, there is no trace of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, so Cao Hong should be confronting Jingzhou soldiers and horses at this time." Ma Chao said beside Ma Teng.
"Well, Han Sui must be killed this time. As for the tiger and leopard cavalry and Jingzhou soldiers and horses, when we annex Han Sui's soldiers and horses, we will drive them out of Liangzhou sooner or later." Ma Teng looked coldly.
On top of the city tower.
On the city tower, teams of soldiers and horses stood ready with weapons in hand. Whether it was the soldiers and horses under Ma Teng or the soldiers and horses under Han Sui, most of them were cavalry and were not good at defending or attacking the city.
But looking at the situation on the city tower at this time, Han Sui clearly planned to defend the city.
"Father, don't worry. The siege equipment will be delivered soon. It will only be a matter of time before the army attacks Wuwei City." Seeing Ma Teng frowning and looking at the top of the city tower, Ma Chao thought that Ma Teng was really worried about this place.
Condition.
"It doesn't matter, I will personally take charge of Wuwei City. You lead 10,000 troops to bypass Wuwei and attack Han Sui's key areas. I want to see how long Han Sui can hold on." Ma Teng shook his head and said.
"In this case, I asked Ling Ming to stay and help father." Ma Chao pondered for a moment and said, although Ma Xiu and Ma Tie were here, Ma Chao was still a little worried.
"No need, just let Ling Ming stay with you. It is enough for the others to stay here." Ma Teng waved his hand. Most of his generals have gathered here. Pang De's stay here is not of much use.
Thinking about it, Ma Xiu, Ma Tie and others are all here at this time, so Han Sui's generals are not afraid.
Ma Chao and Pang De surrendered and galloped away with ten thousand cavalry.
"Father, the rear army has arrived. Do you want to attack the city immediately?" Half an hour later, Matthew came to Ma Teng's side and said panting. He hardly stopped at all along the way and kept urging.
The soldiers and horses under his command rushed on the road in order to reach the gate of Wuwei City as soon as possible and attack the city as soon as possible to kill Han Sui.
"Well, I'll give you ten manholes, and you can lead people to attack the north gate." Ma Teng nodded.
At the same time, Ma Tie also led his troops to attack the south gate, while Ma Teng personally led his men to guard the west gate, leaving the east gate alone unattacked.
"Lord, is Ma Teng concentrating his troops to attack the three gates in the southwest and north to lure us out of the city?" Cheng Yin frowned and looked at the fierce fighting between the soldiers on both sides and said with some confusion on Cheng Yin's city tower.
"Who attacked each gate?" Han Sui asked.
"It's Ma Tie and Ma Xiu, but Ma Teng personally supervises the battle against Ximen." Hou Xuan said immediately.
"Among Ma Teng's subordinates, Ma Chao is the most brave and has the highest prestige in the army. It is really strange that he is the only one missing now." Han Sui looked a little surprised. Ma Chao's name had long been famous in Liangzhou.
He did not dare to look down upon this child.
"Lord, do we want to ask Cao Sikong for help?" Cheng Yin said hesitantly.
"No, they already know the situation here. If possible, they will provide support." Han Sui shook his head. It would be useless for him to beg Yang Xiu and others at this time. It would be better to wait here.
In the post house in Wuwei City, Yang Xiu and Du Xi were sitting on their knees in the lobby. Ever since they received the news that Ma Teng was coming to attack Wuwei City, they ordered their subordinates to pay close attention to the situation outside the city.
Not only would they never ask for help from Cao Hong as a last resort, but even though Han Sui had surrendered to Cao Cao, it was impossible for them to let the tiger and leopard cavalry fight Ma Teng in a fierce battle and allow Han Sui to preserve his strength.
In order to capture Liangzhou, Han Sui must be injured, otherwise Cao Cao would never trust Han Sui in handing over Liangzhou.
"General Cao's scouts are always paying attention to the situation here. If Han Sui can't hold on, he will come to the rescue. We will just wait and see what happens." Yang Xiu shook his head and said.
"Well, the few people under Han Sui's command still seem to be a little resistant to the lord, but after the lord's army arrives, they naturally dare not say anything more." Du Xi nodded. As soon as Cao Hong arrived, they had nothing to do with them. Cao Cao
He will definitely tell Cao Hong what to do, and Cao Hong is not comparable to ordinary generals.
………………………………………………………………..
"Oh, it's really surprising that Ma Teng couldn't sit still so quickly." Cao Hong was slightly surprised when he received the news that Ma Teng was attacking Wuwei City.
"What happened to Jingzhou's troops and horses?" Cao Hong asked.
"General, the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou are still stationary. Even their cavalry is stationed in place without any movement."
"Haha, it seems we are not the only ones who want both Han Sui and Ma Teng to suffer losses." Cao Hong said with a smile.
"Pay close attention to the situation in Wuwei City, and the number of scouts in the direction of Jingzhou will be doubled." He joked at any time, but Cao Hong was not careless at all.
"promise."

"I didn't expect Ma Teng to be so restless. It's really disappointing." Fazheng also shook his head slightly and sighed. Although Jingzhou has made preparations, the longer time goes by, the more favorable it will be for Jingzhou, and Jingzhou's preparations will also be better.
The more sufficient it is.
"It doesn't matter, my lord has already prepared everything. As long as the war starts, the Jingzhou army can be mobilized at any time. Even if Cao Cao leads the army back at this time, there is nothing to be afraid of." Zhang Jia shook his head and said.
"I just don't know when Cao Hong will take action. Do we really have to wait until Han Sui's troops have suffered heavy casualties before he intervenes?" There was expectation in his tone, and he opened his jaw and looked up at the map beside him. He had seen this map before.
Many times, and countless times, we have planned how to capture Liangzhou.
"General Zhao and General Wang can't wait for a long time. This is the first time that the Flying Dragon Guard and the Flying Tiger Guard have encountered evenly matched opponents." Fazheng shook his head and said, although the Flying Dragon Guard and the Flying Tiger Guard are elite cavalry, in the
Jingzhou and Yizhou are famous, but compared with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, which is feared throughout the world, it is still a bit inferior.
"I also want to see the strength of the Feilong Guard and the Feihu Guard. Although there are only a few thousand people, they are enough to intimidate Xiao Xiao." Zhang Jia said with a slight smile.
The greatest advantage of the cavalry is to rush into formation, but the Flying Dragon Guard and the Flying Tiger Guard do not seem to fit into the category of pure cavalry. The strength of a single person is extremely powerful.
Not far outside the city, thousands of cavalrymen were scattered around comfortably, and the horses were strolling around without any fear of an impending battle.
"The fighting has started over there." Wang Yi looked up and looked into the distance and said with some expectancy. This was the first time that Feihuwei encountered an opponent stronger than himself, and he did not dare to slack off at all.
The Flying Tiger Army and the Flying Tiger Guards went into battle together, something that had not happened for many years. Wang Yi felt a little sigh in his heart.
"Haha, don't worry. Since my lord has sent troops to Liangzhou, he will definitely capture Liangzhou in one fell swoop. Although the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are elite, how can my lord not be prepared at all?" Zhao Yunsheng said indifferently. Although he followed Liu Qi for a long time,
Not long ago, but he knew Liu Qi very well. Although he had not made any big preparations, Liu Qi would never do anything he was not sure about.
Since we decided to attack Liangzhou, how could we not have expected the presence of cavalry?
"Haha, I have never doubted this." Wang Yi chuckled. He has been with Liu Qi since Liu Qi left Jingzhou. It can be said that he has witnessed Liu Qi's rise step by step and has even more confidence in Liu Qi than Zhao Yun.
Strong.
Looking back at the people behind him, Wang Yi's eyes became more and more satisfied. These people have followed him all the way to this day. Everyone has experienced hundreds of battles and climbed out from the pile of dead people. No matter how powerful they are,
