The Horse of the Three Kingdoms Treads the World

() Those Qiang generals hadn't returned to their tents to rest at this time, so they quickly came to Bian Zhang's big tent as soon as they called out. Can't stop the reinforcements of the Han army from rushing into Kip.

Bian Zhang had no time to worry about these past events at this time, he just pointed to the intestinal bag on the case and said: "I think everyone has seen this weird bag? This bag doesn't look big, but it is full of ten. Several catties of grain, now that the Han army has supplemented this batch of grain, I am afraid that there is no need to worry about the morale of the army in a short time."

"So what? No matter how much food they have, if they can't get out, they will still die!" The Qiang army doesn't have as many etiquettes as the Han people. Even the generals below can directly say what they want to Bian Zhang. Immediately, someone disagreed.

"Yes, as long as we stay here, the Han army in Wangyuanxia will still have a dead end, but have you ever thought about how long we will have to defend them before they collapse when they have enough food?" Bian Zhang He said angrily: "Our purpose is not to annihilate this Han army, but to continue eastward, take down Xiliang, and even other Han states and counties. If the main force of the army has been delayed here, how will we proceed to the next step?" What about stage attacks?"

Only now did the other generals realize that the situation was not good, and they all fell into deep thought.In the end, someone tentatively came up with a solution: "General, why not attack by force? Our strength is several times that of the Han army in that Kip, and our morale is high. Maybe we can attack in a short time and wipe out the Han army!" "

"If it was a few days ago, it might have been possible. It's a pity that I didn't take the risk because I was worried about the loss of military strength. Now that they have obtained a batch of food and foreign reinforcements, their morale has been boosted. It's not the time for them." Bian Zhang said not without self-reproach: "Besides, the Han people are famous for their good defense, and now they have built many barriers in front of Wangyuan Kip. If we want to attack, it will make us suffer. Huge casualties are really unacceptable."

"What should I do?" These Qiang generals were not wise people at all, they only had extraordinary martial arts skills, and everything was done under the command of Bian Zhang and his like.Now that Bian Zhang has rejected their two proposals in a row, these people really can't think of any other solution.

Bian Zhang glanced at everyone: "There is only one way to do the current plan, and that is to continue the siege. However, this siege is different from the siege of the previous few days. Siege and attack."

"Didn't the general say that Han people are good at defense, and that strong attack is not good for me?"

"Of course a strong attack is impossible, but we can use another method to send generals to challenge the Han army in Xiazhong and fight with them!" A gleam of light appeared in Bian Zhang's eyes: "As long as we can fight against the generals If we can gain the upper hand and kill some of his generals, the morale of the Han army will definitely drop, and then it will be much easier for us to attack again!"

The Qiang people are still quite confident in their martial arts. After hearing Bian Zhang's proposal of this method, they naturally agree with it.Seeing the enthusiasm of the generals, Bian Zhang finally had a little smile, he felt that his method was very good, the worst thing to do in a siege is the death siege, and it is indeed the best thing to be able to hurt the morale of the enemy by fighting now.

But he didn't think about it at all, what would happen if the Han army had the upper hand in this contest?

?????

The next morning, in Dong Zhuo's big tent, Ma Yue finally learned from Li Ru what the countermeasure Dong Zhuo mentioned yesterday was.It turned out to be a water attack strategy of building dams to store water, then digging up the dams and flooding the enemy with water!

Wars of injuring the enemy with water and fire can be said to be common in the history of ancient Chinese warfare. This is indeed a common method used by the weak to defeat the strong enemy.Whether it was the flooding of the girders when Qin destroyed the country of Yan before, or the burning of Chibi later, they are all classic battles.But Ma Yue still had doubts about this, not because he thought this method was bad, but because he thought it might not be possible: "My lord, judging from our geographical advantage, using this water attack strategy can really change the situation of the battle. However, I'm a little confused and have to mention it."

"But it doesn't matter." Dong Zhuo's attitude towards Ma Yue has become a little closer now, and he has already regarded this counselor who is willing to take the risk to deliver food for himself, and he has already regarded it as a true confidant.

Ma Yue did not hesitate, and expressed his concerns: "The distance between the Qiang people outside and me is not far. Although I am at a high place and the enemy is at a low place, they can always see us. If They found out that we were building dams and realized our intentions, and they will definitely not watch us succeed. At that time, if they attack by force, the situation of my 1 people will not be very good."

When Li Ru heard Ma Yue mentioning this point, he just smiled slightly. He had already thought about this concern before, so he turned his eyes to Dong Zhuo, and after seeing him nodding, he smiled and said, "Zhong Ling is also cautious. Indeed, if Let Qianghu know our true intentions, they will naturally not sit idly by. But what if they have seen our actions but can't guess?"

"How...how is this possible?" Ma Yue asked in surprise. Could it be that the Qiang people are so stupid?He didn't say the last sentence.

"It's impossible if we just build the dam and do nothing else. But what if we also let the soldiers go into the water to fish when we build the dam?" Li Ru asked with a smile.

It was only then that Ma Yue suddenly realized: "Building plank roads in the open, crossing Chen Cang secretly! It turns out that Brother Wen You has already been caressing!"

"Our army's lack of food is something both the enemy and we know. Although you have brought in some food and grass, it is obviously not enough for a few days. And I took this opportunity to fish around the river. Qiang people will not think too deeply when they find out, which gives us a period of time to accomplish things." Li Ru said again.

This time, Ma Yue was completely persuaded by Li Ru's strategy: "Brother Wen You is indeed far-sighted, I admire you."

"I also want to thank you very much. If you hadn't brought in the food in time, the whole army would have run out of food. Under such circumstances, even if I could have this strategy, I would not be able to implement it successfully." Li Ru also said humbly.

"It's not too late, let the soldiers start building the dam now." Dong Zhuo ordered immediately.

Ma Yue suddenly thought of something, and suggested: "My lord, just in case, I thought that there should be fewer people building the dam during the day, and we will build the dam with all our strength after dark, so that we can hide the enemy for a while longer." time."

"This plan won my heart, so I will do it like this!" Dong Zhuo thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.

Not long after Dong Zhuo issued this order, someone from Xiakou in front came to report: "My lord, there are Qiang people who suddenly challenged outside, saying that they want to compete with our generals!"

"Oh?" Dong Zhuo was stunned when he heard the report, but Ma Yue's spirit suddenly lifted.He watched the TV and novels of the Three Kingdoms in his previous life, and he had seen many generals in this era fighting one-on-one in front of the battle. But after this era, he experienced several battles that were all group battles, and he only regarded it as a legend.It is only now that I know that everything is well-founded. There really was a single battle between the two armies and several generals.

Li Ru's reaction was quick, and he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Master, the Qiang people are giving us a chance. As long as we use this kind of fighting method to delay their time, the Qiang people will focus on this." , it is even more difficult to discover the true purpose of our dam building."

"That's right, let's play a few games with them!" Dong Zhuo immediately agreed to this method of fighting that was not very clever in his opinion.He immediately ordered people to beat the drums to gather the generals, and then announced this meaning to the generals in the big tent.

When the generals heard that they wanted to compete with the Qiang people in front of the battle, they all geared up, wanting to try their skills and avenge their shame.Even Ma Chao, whose status is somewhat unknown, was eager to try, but was held back by his brother, so he didn't actively go forward to fight for this opportunity to play.

In the end, Dong Zhuo ordered several generals under his command who were relatively good in martial arts to fight, namely Zou Yuan, Qu Bu, Zhang Xiong and Li Que.Seeing these named generals go out to prepare, Ma Yue had a question in his heart: "Why is there no famous Hua Xiong among Dong Zhuo's generals? Lu Bu was a fierce general who was recruited later, but this Hua Xiong should No. How come he doesn’t use such a powerful character at this time?” As for the generals under Dong Zhuo’s command, Ma Yue is most familiar with Lu Bu and Hua Xiong, who was popularized by Guan Yu in this novel, although he died in the novel. It is very useless, but its high martial arts is also recognized by everyone, so Ma Yue has this suspicion.

"Second brother, why did you prevent me from going to fight the Qiang people?" At this moment, Ma Chao's words interrupted Ma Yue's thoughts.He pulled his elder brother aside and said in a low voice: "Brother, we don't really want to work hard for Dong Zhuo. If you show your skills again this time, I'm afraid Dong Zhuo will do whatever it takes to keep you by his side. This will affect our future. Development is very disadvantageous."

Ma Chao still had doubts in his heart, why did the brothers always say that Dong Zhuo would be very powerful in the future, and now it seems that they don't even talk about self-protection.But so many times, the brother's judgment and actions are always correct, and Ma Chao gradually got used to obeying his younger brother's arrangement, so he accepted this fact after nodding.

And not far from them, a tall black-faced man was also full of envy, staring at the generals who were ordered to fight, and said in his heart: "If I can get my lord to agree to fight Qiang Hu , I, Hua Xiong, will definitely rise up in the army..."

This afternoon, the Han and Qiang armies started a battle between generals in front of the formation of the two armies with different purposes!
