Qinglong Three Kingdoms

Chapter 709
"Forget it, Chengyi, this time we got hurt, why don't we surrender! I think we can still be of some use!"

In such a desperate situation, Ma Wan didn't want to really fight to the end. He was originally a horse thief, and later followed Han Sui and Ma Teng to rebel and pulled out his own team, but generally speaking, he still doesn't have much family concern. Come on, don't worry about anything else.

"Surrender? This..."

Cheng Yi didn't expect Ma Wan to say such a suggestion. It's not that he didn't want to surrender, but he was afraid that Zhu Wei wouldn't accept their surrender.

Surrendering so easily also shows that Cheng Yi and Ma Wan don't really care about their relationship with Han Sui. Although they are small Xiliang warlords attached to Han Sui, their relationship with Han Sui is more like a vassal alliance relationship.

In other words, it is the model of the grassland tribal alliance. Usually, Chengyi and Mawan have their own independent small forces and their own territory. But when something happens, they will receive a summoning order from Han Sui and follow Han Sui together Go to war.

But in fact, they are not Han Sui's direct subordinates after all. Although they will call Han Sui the commander-in-chief, as if they will obey Han Sui's military orders, but if they encounter something difficult to contend with, they don't need to die for Han Sui in the end.

At this time, most of Cheng Yi and Ma Wan's forces were wiped out by the light cavalry led by Zhang Liao in a single round of raids. Even if the remaining remnants fled back to Han Sui's side, they would probably be annexed by Han Sui.

Then they might as well surrender to Zhu Wei's side directly. At least now it seems that Zhu Wei's army has the momentum of a fierce dragon crossing the river, and Han Sui, a local snake, may not be able to hold it.

The only worry was that they wanted to surrender, but Zhu Wei was still unwilling to accept their surrender, and that would be death in vain.

"Cheng Yi, if you surrender early, you can still leave some brothers behind, otherwise you will lose your fortune at this point!"

Ma Wan was more open-minded than Cheng Yi, and now they still have at least a thousand confidants around them, but if they were attacked by Zhu Wei's army and had no subordinates, they would really be captured if they surrendered.

"Okay! Dropped, dropped! This is really impossible!"

Cheng Yi thought for a while, then looked back at the Zhuwei light cavalry who were chasing after him like a wave, and then looked forward at the Zhuwei heavy cavalry blocking the front like a stone. He really had no intention of fighting again.

"We have surrendered, we have surrendered! Don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows!"

As Cheng Yi and Ma Wan made up their minds, they took the initiative to pull the horse to stop, but there were light cavalry chasing behind, so the Liangzhou cavalry led by Cheng Yi and Ma Wan hurriedly shouted loudly.

Hearing their shouts, Zhang Liao didn't do anything wrong, so he gave an order to stop shooting arrows, and then he led the cavalry to slowly surround them, and Zhang Xiu, who was in charge of the heavy cavalry, also led the heavy cavalry slowly. Forced up.

"Survivors abandon their weapons! Survivors abandon their weapons!"

Not long after, the cavalry of Zhu Weijun approached and shouted, so Cheng Yi and Ma Wan let the cavalrymen get off their horses and put down their weapons, and waited for the men of Zhu Weijun to come up and speak.

Soon Cheng Yi and Ma Wan were brought to Zhang Xiu. As for Zhang Liao, he was arranging his Qingqi and standing guard all around. At the same time, he released his scout rangers towards Ba Shang in front.

Zhang Xiu asked Cheng Yi and Ma Wan's identities, and asked about the military situation of Han Sui and Ma Teng in Chang'an City again, and took Cheng Yi and Ma Wan with him, while their original cavalry were escorted to the rear. Hand it over to Wei Yan's Jingnan Camp for temporary custody.

Now that they are still in war, even if Cheng Yi and Ma Wan surrendered, they would not be able to switch camps and use them immediately, so separating them from the army under them can be regarded as restraining and controlling them.

According to Cheng Yi and Ma Wan, there are about [-] cavalry troops stationed by Li Kan and Cheng Yin in Bashang near Chang'an City, and about [-] to [-] horsemen from Han Sui's headquarters are stationed in Chang'an In the city, there is another candidate who leads about [-] troops to stay in You Fengyi's territory.

Judging from the distribution of Han Sui's soldiers and horses, Bashang's troops under Li Kan and Cheng Yin could be defeated in one battle just like Cheng Yi and Ma Wan, but Han Sui's troops and horses would be a bit troublesome to fight.

Han Sui's troops and horses were basically stationed in the city of Chang'an, so it would be difficult for the light cavalry led by Zhang Liao to take advantage of the advantages of galloping, cavalry and shooting. The next battle with Han Sui could only be a head-to-head confrontation.

However, after the battle against Cheng Yi and Ma Wan, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Liao felt much more at ease about the combat power of their cavalry, at least they still had an advantage against Liangzhou cavalry.

Seeing that it was still early in the morning, Zhang Liao simply took the light cavalry and went to Bashang to kill Li Kan and Cheng Yin's cavalry.

Bashang was originally a plain outside Chang'an City, and a lot of farmland was reclaimed originally, but now the farmland has been abandoned and turned into barren grassland, but it has also become the best battlefield for cavalry.

The cavalry and horses on Zhu Wei's side were all nailed and fell, and they were not afraid of continuous raids and battles. Therefore, as Zhang Liao led his troops to charge past, Li Kan and Cheng Yin who were stationed on Bashang soon followed. Cheng Yi and Ma play in the footsteps.

However, Li Kan and Cheng Yin seem to have been warned by the Liangzhou cavalry who escaped from Cheng Yi and Ma Wan's side. They may have also heard that Zhu Wei's army is powerful in cavalry and shooting, so they saw Zhang Liao coming with light cavalry , they took the initiative to retreat towards Chang'an City.

In the end, although Zhang Liao chased and shot some Liangzhou cavalry of Li Kan and Cheng Yin with light cavalry, they still fled into Chang'an City with two or three thousand cavalry.

After all, Zhang Liao didn't dare to easily enter Chang'an City with his light cavalry, so he showed off his power outside Chang'an City, but he also took the initiative to retreat back. Just in the process, Wei Yan had already built a building on Bashang's side. In the camp of the garrison, Zhang Liao's light cavalry retreated into the camp first to rest.

Of course, the news that Zhu Wei's cavalry defeated Han Sui's cavalry stationed in Hongmen and Bashang nearly ten thousand Liangzhou cavalry within a day quickly reached the ears of Han Sui, Ma Teng, Zhong Yao, and Wu Xi.

For a while, they couldn't help being confused.

Han Sui originally underestimated the attack of Zhu Wei's army. After all, when Han Sui rebelled in the Sanfu area of ​​Chang'an, he defeated the imperial court's crusade army in successive battles.

Although Han Sui now has less than [-] troops, unlike the support of Qiang tribes like before, at least more than [-] cavalry have gathered, but Han Sui is confident that he has soldiers and generals, and he is not afraid of this Zhuge Liang. The attack of the guard army.

It's just that the combat power shown by Zhu Wei's army now makes Han Sui really feel a little bit afraid.

Although Cheng Yi, Ma Wan, Li Kan, and Cheng Yin are only small forces attached to him, the combat effectiveness of the army directly under him is naturally higher than these subordinate forces, but Han Sui thinks that he cannot easily defeat their nearly ten thousand cavalry ah.

Now Han Sui was afraid to confront Zhu Wei's cavalry outside Chang'an, so he had to consult with his son-in-law Yan Xing, and planned to use the terrain of Chang'an to deploy defenses to eliminate the threat of Zhu Wei's cavalry... …
