When Bu Dugen and Xie Guini led their troops to rush over, their target was directly at Ke Bineng.
It must be said that Ke Bineng was quite capable. Thirty thousand cavalry suddenly appeared behind him. He was frightened by this change. Although he panicked, he divided the thirty thousand army into three teams. One team went forward, and the other two teams faced each other.
In a roundabout way, it formed a "V" shape and surrounded the rear of Budugen and Xieguini.
Although the 10,000 cavalry used to resist frontally were defeated at the first contact, they successfully stopped the opponent's momentum and gradually transformed a battle of impact and annihilation into a battle of position.
Immediately afterwards, the Kirby Neng soldiers who circled behind the Budu Genbu soldiers began to show off their power, and in turn attacked their opponents from behind.
When the 10,000 cavalry on the front were about to be wiped out, the battle situation finally reversed. The passive side became Bu Dugen and Xie Gui Ni's tribe, while Kebineng's tribe became the dominant side.
This is not because Bu Dugen and Xie Guini are not capable of commanding, but because the uncle and nephew are not at the main battlefield at all and have no way of commanding.
At this moment, the uncle and nephew were being led by Kirby Neng for a walk on the vast grass outside Luochuankou alone. They were so anxious that they could not catch up with Kirby Neng.
Originally, the uncle and nephew had only 20,000 soldiers and horses under their command. In order to deal with Kebi Neng, Bu Dugen specially recruited all the adult tribesmen in the tribe, and then they could barely scrape together an army of 30,000.
Although the newly formed 10,000 cavalrymen are quite powerful in combat, there is still a high chance that they can take advantage of them and kill Kirby in one battle.
Unexpectedly, Kirby could remain calm in the face of danger and be so cunning. He made his uncle and nephew so angry that they gritted their teeth. Seeing that the battle situation in the distance was reversed, and his subordinates gradually fell into a disadvantage, they were helpless.
At the same time, as soon as the 20,000-strong army of Wei Bingzhou Governor Bi Gui appeared at the north exit of Luochuankou, they were blocked by the 10,000 elite troops that Kirby could leave behind, and the two sides fought fiercely.
Although Kirbyneng's men were temporarily at a disadvantage, it would be difficult for the Wei army to break through the obstruction and provide support to Budugen's men for a while.
As time went by, Bi Gui gradually felt uneasy. Whether it was the battlefield situation outside Luochuankou or the faint sound of horse hooves coming from behind, it all indicated that,
The outcome of this war seems difficult to reverse.
The Wei Dynasty was about to be defeated.
Bi Gui never expected that after successfully deceiving Kirby, his ingenious chain plan would be easily resolved by the latter.
How can this be?!
Based on his understanding of Kirby, the latter definitely did not have such a superb ability to command troops. If he did, he would not have been suppressed by Tian Yu for so many years.
But no matter how suspicious Bi Gui was, the war situation inevitably lost control.
This battle lasted from noon to dusk, and when the sky gradually darkened, the battle outside Luochuankou finally came to an end. Kirby Neng's troops won a complete victory, and he personally led a cavalry to pursue Bu Dugen's uncle and nephew.
kill.
The battle in Luochuankou continued. Fifty thousand Xianbei cavalry blocked 20,000 Wei troops in the canyon and attacked from both ends.
Ma Di and his four generals started preparing dinner on the top of the mountain on the Luochuankou side.
After Zhang Xiu lit a bonfire and put a rabbit he had shot on the fire to start roasting, everyone sat on the ground and discussed how to share the cooked rabbit.
This rabbit is today's dinner for six people.
The night covered the sky, the new moon was born, and the sound of fighting in Luochuankou gradually faded away.
This is not that the 20,000 Wei army was wiped out by the Xianbei people, but a temporary truce between the two sides. Kebineng's troops retreated to the exits at both ends of Luochuankou, while Bi Gui's army could only build camps in the canyon and be on guard.
.
Ma Su took him and sat under the big locust tree on the top of the mountain. He glanced at the great wizard beside him who was looking over eagerly because of hunger. He patted her little hand gently and said to the four generals with a serious face: "In your opinion,
, does Bigui still have a chance to win this battle?"
When the four generals heard this, they looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
Ma Su continued to ask: "If it is us who are besieged in the valley, do you think we have a chance of victory?"
The four major generals exchanged glances again, and the outspoken Zhang Xiu was the first to say: "I don't think this assumption is valid. The general will not throw himself into a trap and be trapped in the valley."
Yang Wanwan expressed his second opinion: "I feel that even if he is trapped in the valley, the general will not be in despair."
Ma Di was noncommittal and turned to look at Li Sheng and Huang Xi.
Li Sheng thought for a while and said: "I think the general will attack at night to break through and break out to the south. Otherwise, at dawn the next day, Kirby can gather all his troops and build fortifications at both ends of the canyon, and there will be no return.
It’s the power of heaven.”
Zhang Xiu nodded and agreed: "If our army is really besieged in the valley, we can only boost morale and use the Fen River to find another way to escape."
Ma Su glanced at Zhang Xiu approvingly and said, "Yes, usually when one party is besieged by the other party in a desperate situation, a sense of despair will spread throughout the entire army, and morale will quickly fall to the bottom."
"At this time, maintaining stable morale is the top priority for the general. Although Kirby still has 50,000 or 60,000 troops, the Wei army's equipment and combat effectiveness are stronger. In this case,
As long as the morale does not sink, even if you are trapped in a desperate situation, you can still survive without dying, or even survive."
After thinking about it, Ma Su told the four generals the two cases of Sima Yi being trapped in Shangfang Valley and Sima Zhao being trapped in Iron Cage Mountain, telling them that the reason why Sima Yi and Sima Zhao could survive from death was not just luck.
Against the odds, it also benefits from the fact that the morale is still there and the people are united.
Otherwise, even if heavy rain extinguished the fire in Shangfang Valley, Sima Yi would not be able to rush out of the valley; even if the Qiang people attacked Jiang Wei's camp, Sima Zhao, with only 6,000 men left, would not be able to rush out of Iron Cage Mountain.
Of course, since these two things have not happened yet, Ma Di replaced Sima Yi and his son with a famous general from the Warring States Period.
After listening to the case, the four generals were deeply moved and each had their own thoughts. They even forgot to eat the freshly roasted rabbit meat.
Ma Su raised his hand and took the root with the cooked rabbit stuck in it, went to the other side of the big locust tree, had one leg with you and one leg with me, and enjoyed it happily.
When the four major generals came to their senses, there were only broken bones left under the big locust tree.
The other three people looked at Zhang Xiu with resentful eyes and asked in unison.
"Where's the rabbit?"
Zhang Xiu defended with a depressed look: "It wasn't me who ate it, it was the general who ate it."
The three of them still stared at him and said to each other:
"Then why didn't you take it seriously?"
"No matter, we can't have dinner, so I'll eat you tonight."
"That's right, that's right."
Zhang Xiu had no choice but to pick up his bow and arrow angrily, "I'll go to the jungle headquarters for you now."
…
In the middle of the night, in the valley at the foot of the mountain, there was the Wei army's camp.
Bi Gui naturally also realized the importance of sneak attacks and breakthroughs.
He only has one life, and he doesn't intend to surrender. He feels that he can still operate it.
To be honest, Bi Gui didn't want to send troops this time. But if he didn't send troops, Bu Dugen would completely fall to Kirbineng. This was a situation he didn't want to see, and this dispatch of troops did have the potential to defeat Kirbineng.
Otherwise, Bi Gui would never leave Jinyang easily and participate in a civil war among the Xianbei people.
It's a pity that God's will plays a trick on people.
Su Shang left the camp with five thousand people.
During a sneak attack at night, there should not be too many people, nor too few. If there are too many people, there will be chaos, and if there are too few, there will be cowardice.
Moreover, the Wei army only had 5,000 soldiers that qualified for a night attack.
The so-called "night attack" means that you can see the road and the surroundings at night. Because people in this era are blind as soon as it gets dark.
Those who can see the road at night are basically elite soldiers and top soldiers, and most of them come from the Huns and Xianbei people in the area. Bi Gui is not sure whether they eat meat all year round, so they are very difficult to see.
Fewer vision problems.
But there is no doubt that the conditions for a night attack are there.
The composition of the soldiers in Bigui's army is very mixed, including Qiang, Huns, Xianbei, and Han. Among them, there are 8,000 Hans, who are also the most elite soldiers in the army; followed by the Huns, with about 5,000;
They are the Xianbei people, with about 4,000 people; and finally the Qiang people, with about 3,000 people.
However, after the battle during the day, the Wei army still had more than 16,000 men. Correspondingly, nearly 10,000 of Kirbineng's men were killed in battle.
Su Shang soon led his troops away. Bi Gui stood in the camp and looked to the north. He felt it was pitch black and couldn't see anything.
The Xianbei camp north of Luochuankou is the target of the Wei army's night attack tonight. Although the main force of Kebineng's elite troops is stationed in the north, after a bloody battle during the day, his troops also suffered heavy losses, with only two men left.
More than ten thousand people, half of whom were taken away by Kirby, went to chase Bu Dugen and Xie Gui Ni, and they would not be back until tomorrow morning.
In other words, there are currently only about 10,000 Xianbei people guarding the northern exit - this is the number estimated by Bi Gui.
He didn't believe that Kirby could lead his troops back before tonight and block the exit.
Therefore, we must give it a try.
If the night attack goes well, by the time Kirby can come back tomorrow morning, the Wei army will have escaped.
Once you get out of the canyon, there will be more room for maneuver.
…
When Su Shang led his army to sneak attack on Ke Bineng's tribe, a bonfire was lit again on the top of the mountain, and Zhang Xiu was dissecting an antelope. Although the meat of this guy was a bit tangy and not as delicate as rabbit meat, it was more abundant and sufficient.
The four great gentlemen are satisfied.
Ma Su built a simple flat bed on the branch of a big locust tree, and lay on a high place side by side with the great wizard, acting as a sentinel for the four generals.
Speaking of which, the topography of the north and south of Luochuankou is very different, with the north being much flatter than the south.
Southern Sichuan has many hills and mountains, while northern Sichuan has endless Yunzhong Basin and green grasslands.
The entire Bingzhou has fertile soil, abundant water and grass, 800 miles of Taihang natural danger to the east, the Yellow River to the west, Luoyang to the south, and the desert to the north. It can be called a country of abundance.
In Ma Su's view, Bingzhou was the real place of dominance in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. If Ding Yuan, the governor of Bingzhou who was deeply concerned about the Han Dynasty at that time, had not gone to Luoyang to take the troubled waters and managed the place well, he might not be able to help the Han Dynasty later, or even
It is possible to compete for supremacy in the world.
It's a pity that the loyal soul died as soon as he entered Luoyang, which made people sigh and feel sad.
Ma Su rested his head on a tree branch, listening to the chirping of insects in the grass and the fine breathing of the great wizard, and looked down at the Xianbei camp where the fire was burning.
The four generals gnawed on the leg of mutton while watching the argument at the foot of the mountain.
"Hey, this Su Shang, why do you need to divide your troops? After lighting the fire and concentrating the superior troops to rush forward, won't the Xianbei people collapse?"
It was Zhang Xiu's voice, which sounded like a great king giving guidance to Bronze 5 players.
Ma Su couldn't help laughing, shook his head and laughed.
"Kirby's son-in-law is not very good at building and reforming. He doesn't even understand the basic common sense of 'Don't be alarmed when it's going to be night'? Go home and herd the sheep!"
It was Li Sheng's voice. He was stamping his feet as he spoke, and his words conveyed a sense of irony.
It was clear that Yu Zhu Ge Jian could counterattack Su Shang, but he did it blindly and was forced into chaos.
At this time, the fire in the Xianbei camp had connected into one, lighting up the dark night sky red.
"The Xianbei camp is in chaos." The great wizard raised his little face and looked at Ma Su with little stars twinkling in his eyes.
This scene was completely consistent with the process that Ma Su had rehearsed for her before. Bi Gui did not choose to sneak attack from the south, but from the north.
This is in line with what Ma Su said: "The way of using troops is subject to numerous changes, but it remains the same as taking advantage of the weak point to attack."
After following Ma Su for a long time, the great wizard sometimes felt that he might be able to lead troops in war.
At least, she had expected this battle of "a plan within a plan and a plan within a plan", and it was not even half a minute slower than the four major generals.
After a pause, she said quietly: "It seems that the winner of this war should be Kirby."
Ma Su tightened his arms and patted the great wizard gently: "No, these two tribes and the Wei State are fighting each other in this area. No matter what the result is, neither of them is the winner."
"Then who is the winner?" The great wizard didn't quite understand what Ma Su meant. In her opinion, the victor in the war was of course the winner.
If the victor is not the winner, then who is the winner?
Ma Di whispered: "You have to learn to think more. Every force and race in this world is never an independent individual. The occurrence of a war never ends with this war. Let me tell you this,
A butterfly here flapping its wings may cause a tsunami in the Pacific Ocean...oh no, in the East China Sea."
“When a true wise man sees something, he can see through the surface to see its inner connection, see what has not happened yet, and prepare a response in advance.”
"Only when you reach this level can you become a qualified commander."
While listening to Ma Su's words, the great wizard continued to watch the battle below. She seemed to understand, but her attention quickly followed the movement of the big hand behind her.
"The victory has been decided. This war is about to end." The great wizard's breathing became rapid.
"Then who is the biggest winner? Will this winner keep winning?"
Ma Su raised his eyes and looked over. Sure enough, the battle at the foot of the mountain had come to an end.
Although he couldn't see the expressions of the four generals, Ma Su couldn't help but feel hot when he saw their figures deliberately leaving the distance.
The goal of the second stage has been completed, and now it is time to look at the crucial third step, to see if this war can allow Wei and Kirby to fight to the death.
Only by allowing these two forces to begin to merge will the Wei state's energy be tied up and the war pressure of Shu Han be shared to the greatest extent.
The best way to defeat a powerful country is to build a circle of enemies around it; and the best way to distract people is to create something else that attracts more attention.
Ma Su didn't want the gentle and lovely wife of the great wizard to keep asking questions that "she wouldn't understand even if she said them".
Therefore, it is necessary to divert her attention and keep her busy, so that she will not have any time to think about things she does not understand.
Many of the "fatal" questions women have come up with because they are too busy, such as "Who do you save first if your mother or I fall into the water?"
