Chapter 660 The monkey really lost the peach
After Ma Chao took five thousand cavalrymen in Hun, he left the capital of the Western Regions Changshi Mansion, and immediately divided the troops into two front teams. There were only one thousand people in the front team, led by Ma Dai himself, among which were the camel-riding soldiers led by Long Zhixu, the second prince of Yanqi.
Ma Dai and a thousand people rushed to the road quickly. In just one and a half days, he arrived at the border of Cheshi Kingdom in the forefront.
Originally, the people in Jiāo River City saw that Ma Dai had only brought a thousand people and dared to show off their power. They boldly organized nearly a thousand soldiers to fight Ma Dai head-on.
The four hundred cavalry brought by Ma Dai were actually not selected from the Western Liang army, but the jingling of the Han cavalry division.
According to Zhao Xing's arrangement, the most combat-capable white horse Yicong in the Xiliang army remained in Yuanqu City, and was personally directed by Tian Yu to protect the security of Yanqi. The remaining 20,000 Xiliang army was led by Ma Chao to join Zhao Xing's 5,000 Han cavalry division.
Zhao Xing agreed that before Ma Chao's expedition, the chariot master could select 5,000 people at will; in addition to "flying around", the equipment can also be selected at will. Ma Dai secretly suggested that one thousand people be selected, so that the chance of completing the task can be increased.
Ma Dai was embarrassed to ask Ma Chao to pick more people from the Han cavalry division, mainly because he felt that this unit was the "Imperial Guard" who escorted Zhao Xing. If he took too many of them away, Zhao Xing's safety would become a problem.
The combat effectiveness of the Han cavalry division, Ma Dai did not have the combat effectiveness that he had seen with his own eyes.
Ma Chao, who was still a naughty man at that time, took three thousand Western Liang cavalry to Wuyuan City to challenge the Dingyuan Army commander Zhao Yun at that time. As a result, he was defeated in one fight and group fight and trained with Dingyuan Army. He fully experienced the power of Huang Xuan, Yan Sheng, Southern Xiongnu and Han cavalry divisions in Dingyuan Army at that time. Therefore, he agreed with Ma Dai's suggestion.
The Han cavalry division who was able to protect Zhao Xing from the past few years to the present day will definitely not be worse than the Flying Tiger Army and the Canglang Army. If they add some of their secret weapons, they are probably even more powerful. So when the Cheshi people are very confident that fighting is powerful.
The 600 Yanqi soldiers riding on either single peaks or double peaks were not at all. They witnessed a refreshing cavalry assault battle with the second prince Long Zhixu.
Han cavalry with full armor, face helmet, holding a dead ruler in his right hand, and sleeve crossbow on his left arm. Each of them had killed at least ten Xianbei people on the grasslands in the north of Mo, so their actions seemed so skillful and graceful when launching an attack. If it weren't for the passion, the Yanqi soldiers watching the battle in the distance might have thought it was a lively equestrian competition.
The Cheshi people with shabby equipment can only be described as a slight crumble. They found that the hundreds of Han people rushing over were compared to the Xiongnu, the Xianbei people, and the Wusun, and the Cheshi people fled one after another, and panic, and fled into the jiāo River City, which is a three-dimensional defense fortress.
In Dujiāohe City, no matter how powerful the Han people outside are, no matter how many ten times the number of people, they will definitely not be able to do anything to them. The alleys on the ground and underground in the city can directly abolish the Han army's cavalry, and the countless reserved holes can quietly take away the enemy's lives.
As a result, the angry Cheshiren was disappointed that he saw the power of Jiāo River City, and he was still patrolling outside the city and refused to launch a battle to attack the city.
Next, the Cheshi people saw a scene that surprised them. The four hundred Han soldiers rushed out of their waists and forced the Yanqi people to come down from the back of the camel, then pressed them to the front of the team, and launched a fierce attack on Jiāo River City!
Perhaps the oppression was too strong, perhaps it was terrifying at the dense hit holes in the river city. In short, the six hundred and aged men who were about to enter the defense soldiers in the city suddenly turned the attacking weapon and launched an attack on the Han people behind them.
Because the turnaround happened so suddenly that many Han cavalry were killed by crazy Yanqi people on the spot, dragging the Han people's bodies and fleeing out.
The Yanqi people who were only chasing the Han cavalry gradually left, and the slow-running twin-mad camels were left far behind, and only a few Yanqi people were responsible for pulling these camels.
The Cheshimen who was guarding the city had just seen a good show, and at this time, he bravely rushed out of the city and launched an attack on the fallen camel team.
The Yanqi and the Cheshi people spoke a language. When they saw the car rushed out of the city of Jiāo, they begged for mercy loudly, and they all said that they were being dried by a large amount of food and canned food on the back of the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the Cheshi people gained a great benefit without any effort.
The captured Yanqi people told Cheshiren that the front of the back was full of real gold, silver and yu jewelry. All of these treasures were plundered by the Han people from Yanqi and were about to transport them back to the Central Plains. If they catch up and stop them now, they would make a bigger fortune.
The Cheshi people who had just been bullied by the Han people and now tasted the sweetness again have no reason to doubt the words of the Yanqi brothers who were captured by the Han people. So thousands of Cheshi soldiers in the river city came out in full swing, like a group of hyenas chasing their prey, rushed towards the slow-moving dromedary caravan with excitement.
On a river beach ten miles away from the Jiāo River City, the Cheshi people finally caught up with the Yanqi camel team that was about to return to their hometown. It must have been chased by the crazy Yanqi people and had already escaped further.
The joyful Cheshimen surrounded the dromedary camel team. Before they could divide the fortune, thousands of Han cavalry rushed out from all directions and surrounded the Cheshi soldiers.
The Cheshi people who had never tried the powerful Han cavalry in the city shouted and rushed towards the general who was holding the gun at the head. Their fate was naturally very sad. The tiger-headed gilt spear in Ma Chao's hand had slaughtered many generals of all sizes. Who could be his enemy?
At the fastest speed and most quick action, the soldiers of the Cheshi Army were scared to death and rushed to death. At the reminder of the "good intention" Yanqi brothers, they threw down their weapons and begged for mercy.
After easily capturing the main force of the Cheshi Kingdom, Ma Chao led a five thousand army, escorting thousands of Cheshi prisoners, and came to the east of the Jiāo River City in a vast area.
Ma Chao asked Long Zhizhuo to help pass the message, shouting to the people in the city: "In half a day, if you don't show your city, you will kill all the soldiers of the Cheshi on the spot; if you don't leave the city and ask for surrender within one day, you will not leave the dog when the city is broken!"
The former king of Cheshi in the city saw that the situation was hopeless and was scared to death by Ma Chao's killing order. So he quickly asked someone to open the city and took the people in the city to surrender and beg for mercy. ~<>
