Chapter 598

Yan Xing died happily, and was forgiven by Ma Chao before he died, and he had no regrets.Now that the heavy armored cavalry were charging to fight, Ma Chao naturally would not let Yan Xing's body be destroyed. He stretched out his hand and put Yan Xing's body on the horse's back, and immediately let the cavalry rush up to the mountains on both sides.

The tiger and leopard riders showed their talents in the first battle. First, they threw javelins to disrupt the enemy's formation, and then turned into a torrent of steel, rushing towards the enemies on the mountain twice.

The arrows shot by the Xiliang soldiers had no effect on the tiger and leopard cavalry. Although the speed of the tiger and leopard cavalry charging was not fast, the heavy equipment trampled on the ground and the ground trembled, as if the end of the world was coming.

Even though the tiger and leopard cavalry were surrounded by tens of thousands of Xiliang infantry on both sides of the mountains, when the tiger and leopard cavalry charged towards the mountains, the tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers had no one to resist.

No one has the confidence to fight against the torrent of steel with human flesh and blood.What's more, Han Sui didn't know the existence of tiger and leopard cavalry beforehand, and even he himself had no way to defeat the enemy.Unless you prepare a strong bow and crossbow in advance, or an excellent ambush, or have a large number of cavalry, you can win steadily.

But obviously Han Sui did not have such preparations. The terrain of this place is not particularly good for ambushes. The sloping and bare mountains are good for cavalry dives, but the concealment is so poor that Han Sui did not prepare for rolling logs. , lapping stones and so on.

Han Sui was helpless at this moment, when the tiger and leopard cavalry showed his power, it was doomed that the Han army would not be defeated.Han Sui cursed in his heart: "When did the Han army build such a heavy armored cavalry? If I knew in advance that I was going to prepare a strong crossbow, why would I be afraid of Ma Chao?"

The tiger and leopard cavalry began to charge towards the mountains, and all the enemies who blocked him fell under the iron hooves.Soldiers from Xiliang continued to fall on the iron hooves of the tiger and leopard cavalry. Under the spears, the tremor of the earth was mixed with the screams of the soldiers one after another.

"Retreat!" Han Suixin gave the order to retreat decisively because the governor could not do anything. The Xiliang soldiers immediately dispersed and fled towards Jincheng.

On the other side, Han Sui's cavalry outflanked Cao Cao's main infantry. Cao Cao was not afraid of danger, and commanded from the center: "Set up shields to defend, and set up a shield formation! Inform the rear army Pang De, and surround the Xiliang cavalry left and right!"

Following Cao Cao's order, the Han army immediately formed a defensive formation, and the shield soldiers and spearmen immediately moved to the outside. The shield soldiers stubbornly protected Cao Cao's army inside, and the spears pierced through the gaps in the shield. There are many shields and spears, and the defense has become watertight.

"Fire the arrows!" Cao Cao ordered, drawing out his sword and pointing his long sword obliquely.Immediately, thousands of arrows were fired, and the Xiliang cavalry on both sides attacked with arrows, and the soldiers in the Han army also shot arrows at the Xiliang cavalry.

The result is self-evident, the Xiliang cavalry's arrows could not penetrate the layers of defensive Han army gun shield array.On the contrary, it was the arrows of the Han army, which kept shooting and killing the Xiliang cavalry who were charging.

With the shooting of arrows, Xiliang soldiers turned over and fell off their horses one by one. When they rushed to the front of the Han army formation, they faced layers of shield soldiers and spears emitting cold light from the shields. long gun.

Without a fierce general to take the lead, which cavalry would dare to charge forward?The Xiliang cavalry were constantly dying and wounding, but they were unable to attack Cao Cao's main force.In the distance, Han Sui's main infantry also showed a tendency to be defeated under Ma Chao's tiger and leopard cavalry, and fled towards Jincheng.

The Xiliang cavalry were unable to advance, and facing the Han army's formation, there were many casualties, and they were also moved to retreat.

At this time, Pound led [-] cavalry in the rear army, divided into left and right wings of [-] cavalry from Xiliang, outflanked the Xiliang cavalry, and surrounded the Xiliang cavalry.

"You are already surrounded by groups, and those who surrender will not be killed!" Pound galloped around the periphery of the Xiliang cavalry, and shouted at the Xiliang cavalry inside.

Then the Han army also shouted loudly one by one: "The surrender will not be killed, and the descendant will not be killed!"

The Xiliang cavalry was surrounded and continued to kill, but the entire army was wiped out. At this time, the Han army uttered the slogan of surrender and not kill, and the Xiliang cavalry was quite moved.Cao Cao waved his big hand and ordered to stop shooting arrows, and the Xiliang cavalry also stopped shooting arrows. Cao Cao came out under the protection of Li Yuanfang, and shouted to the Xiliang cavalry: "You are all my fellow citizens. The Mongols invaded the Han. How can you be worthy of your ancestors by following Han Sui to help the tiger and help the tyrant? Now that I am here, the heavenly soldiers of the Han Dynasty, you have not surrendered? Those who resist in the corner will be punished as collaborating with the enemy and treason, and will not be tolerated!"

After what Cao Cao said, the Xiliang soldiers felt deeply guilty in their hearts and feared the Han army, so they immediately dismounted and surrendered.

"Yuanfang, you lead the main force of [-] to guard Xiliang's defeated soldiers, and order Ming to lead the cavalry to chase after me!" Cao Cao waved his horsewhip, leaving Li Yuanfang to lead the infantry to clean up the battlefield and guard the Xiliang cavalry. Jincheng chased after him.

At this moment, Jincheng is an empty city. A few days ago, Zhao Yun received Cao Cao's order to secretly transfer the cavalry to the border of Jincheng County, and sent scouts to inquire about the news of Jincheng.When Han Sui sent all his soldiers and horses to ambush Cao Cao, Zhao Yun immediately ordered the cavalry to raid Jincheng.

Jincheng County was originally located at the border, very close to the Longxi and Anding borders. Zhao Yun's cavalry rushed to attack, but it took only half an hour to reach Jincheng.At this time, Jincheng was basically an empty city. Han Sui came out with the whole cavalry army, Zhao Yun led the cavalry to the city, and there was no one stationed in the city.

There was not a single soldier on the top of the city, and the city gate was wide open. Zhao Yun led Baima Yicong straight into Jincheng, swung his spear and said, "Send a thousand people to guard the four gates, and the others follow me to attack Han Sui!"

Bai Mayi entered from the north gate, exited from the south gate, and rushed towards the battlefield ahead, shouting and killing.

At this moment, Han Sui only hated his parents for losing two legs. He himself is fine, and he still has a war horse under his crotch, but the tens of thousands of infantry under his command can't outrun tiger and leopard cavalry.Although tiger and leopard cavalry are heavy armored cavalry, their speed is not as fast as light cavalry, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and its speed is not comparable to these infantry after all.

I don't know how many corpses of Xiliang soldiers fell all the way from the battlefield to Jincheng, and blood flowed like a river along the way.

Han Sui took the lead and wanted to flee back to Jincheng to garrison. As long as he fled back to Jincheng and persisted for a few days, Mongolia Tuolei would lead his troops to rescue.Han Sui was running desperately, when he heard the deafening sound of horseshoes in front of him, and a cavalry in white armor charged forward, like a silver dragon.Han Sui shuddered and exclaimed, "Bai Ma Yi Cong?"

"Changshan Zhao Zilong is here again, I have taken the Jincheng, you will not give up your weapons and surrender?" Zhao Yun had a silver-maned horse on his crotch, a gentian silver spear in his hand, and a white armor like a god descending from the earth. Han Sui gasped in fright. Take a breath.

There was a white horse in the front, and a tiger and leopard cavalry in the back. Now Han Sui has no way to go to heaven and no way to go to earth.

"I am willing to surrender!" In order to save his life, Han Sui got off his horse and ordered the soldiers to put down their weapons.

Everything was a matter of course, from Jia Xu's design to Han Sui's setup, and then to Cao Cao's command, Jincheng was easily taken down by the Han army.

After taking Jincheng, the Han army can enter Jincheng. Jincheng County is located in the middle of Liangzhou. They form horns with Jincheng County.

Cao Cao's passive defensive situation of guarding Longxi has also changed from occupying Jincheng now to fighting against the Mongols, which can be defended and attacked.

Han Sui had more than 5 soldiers and horses, including 4 cavalry. The cavalry suffered more than [-] casualties, and the rest surrendered. More than [-] infantry suffered [-] casualties, and [-] surrendered.Next, Cao Cao only needs to integrate these surrendered soldiers and horses, and recruit young and strong men from Chang'an, which can greatly strengthen the strength of the Han army in Liangzhou. Even if the Mongols invade in a large scale soon, these soldiers and horses can completely resist.

After the Han army incorporated Xiliang soldiers and horses, Cao Cao led the generals into the Jincheng, where Han Sui knelt down in the hall, and the soldiers searched out Jia Xu in the Jincheng, and escorted Jia Xu into the main hall.

"Kneel down!" The soldiers wanted to force Jia Xu to kneel down, but Jia Xu looked at Cao Cao without fear and said, "Cao Mengde, is this how you treat your benefactor?"

"Jia Wenhe, tell me, what kindness do you have for me?" Cao Cao asked with narrowed eyes when he heard it funny.

"I will not hide it from you. I, Jia Xu, have always protected myself. If I want to leave, you people will never find me. In fact, Li Wenyou wrote to me not long ago, asking me to work for the big man. Li Ru and I You are old, he is my good friend, how can I refuse when he is about to delete the matter he asked me? So I used my thoughts and decided to change the situation in Liangzhou, let the Han army take the west of the Yellow River in Liangzhou, and Mongolia Otherwise, Han Sui and Yan Xing have a very good relationship, how could you seize the opening to win Jincheng?" Jia Xu said in a deep voice.

Cao Cao's expression changed and he said, "Li Wenyou asked you to vote for Han? What's going on here?"

Jia Xu sighed, and told Cao Cao the agreement between Li Ru and him when he was young. After explaining it, Jia Xu cupped his hands and said: "As for this battle, I will first persuade Yan Xing to contact you secretly, and tell him to pretend to attack Anding. Two counties in Beidi. While Han Sui sent Jincheng troops to support the two places, you are using Yan Xing to attack Jincheng. Then I told Han Sui Yan Xing's plan and asked him to follow his plan and arrange an ambush to deal with you!"

Cao Cao couldn't help feeling cold after hearing this, Jia Xu counted him all in.Can't help scolding: "Well, you Jia Wenhe, you are worthy of being a poisonous man, and you even counted me in it. You see, I am suspicious by nature, and I will never believe Yan Xing. If I am prepared, I will think that this is Han Sui and Yan Xing. If you set up a game against me, I will also use my tricks, can I break Han Sui?"

Jia Xu caressed his beard with a smile: "I can't go out to contact you in Jincheng, even if I do, I'm afraid you won't believe me, so please don't blame Governor Cao for making such a bad plan."

If Cao Cao was a vassal and a monarch, and Jia Xu had such a vicious plan to include him, Cao Cao might be cruel to Jia Xu, but now Cao Cao is just a courtier, and Jia Xu used his character to help him win Jincheng, so With great strategic significance, Cao Cao didn't feel much anger in his heart.

Han Sui, who was kneeling in the hall, heard Jia Xu's explanation, his scalp tingled and his hair stood on end, and he yelled at Jia Xu: "Jia Wenhe, you have such a poisonous mind, you will die!"

Jia Xu remained silent, Ma Chao, His Majesty, said angrily: "Han Sui, it seems that you are still unwilling, Commander, why don't you kill this man!"

Cao Cao pondered for a while, then finally shook his head and said: "No, although Han Sui did things for the Mongols, the influence is not small. I will send him to Luoyang and hand it over to His Majesty. Maybe His Majesty has other uses. Mengqi, I only want you I want to take revenge, but you are now a big Han general, and you should put state affairs first. But I don’t think Han Sui is of much use. Your Majesty has always hated traitors like Han Sui, and he will definitely not let him go. Just relax!"

Ma Chaoqiang endured the murderous thoughts in his heart, cupped his hands and said, "It's all up to the governor!"

Cao Cao nodded and said: "Meng Qi, your family members are all in Luoyang now, and you haven't seen them for several years, why don't you escort Han Sui to Beijing, and return to Beijing to meet your family."

Ma Chao said happily, "Thank you, Dudu!"

"Wen He, since you have decided to take refuge in the big man, you will be overjoyed, but your previous crimes, there is no way to replace you. Why don't you follow Meng Qi to Beijing and see how His Majesty will deal with you! " Cao Cao looked at Jia Xu and said.

Jia Xu bowed and said: "Jia has committed a serious crime, even if His Majesty killed me, it would not be an exaggeration. Your Majesty is willing to go to Beijing to see His Majesty."
