418. Tianshui City
The soldiers are very fast. Since Han Fei decided to send troops, he was very quick. After only three days of preparation, Ma Chao took 10,000 troops and horses to Wudu City. After joining Ma Dai, he only rested for one night. He turned around and rushed to Tianshui City.
The garrison of Tianshui City is named Jiang Jie, who is from Tianshui Ji County. Although this person is from a poor family, he is quite talented. Tianshui City is managed in an orderly manner.
Ma Chao rushed to Tianshui City, but when he was about thirty miles away from the city, he was discovered by the soldiers on the top of the city. It turned out that Jiang Jie, as the lord of Tianshui City, had always been paying attention to the movements of the troops in Wudu.
After knowing that Wu had all his troops left the city, he sent someone to strengthen his vigilance at the top of the city. Sure enough, he had bet right, and Ma Chao came to attack Tianshui City in surprise. So after discovering the enemy, Jiang Jie immediately ordered the city gate to close, and at the same time sent a fast horse to Chang'an for help.
Ma Chao rushed to the city with his men and horses, and then he found that the city gate was already ready and the city gate was closed. Ma Chao looked at the neatly ordered Cao army soldiers on the city, and he felt so angry!
So Ma Chao ordered people to call the battle, but let the people he sent to call him, but ignored the city! Ma Chao had no choice but to set up camp twenty miles away. At the same time, he sent his brother Ma Dai to log in and create a ladder. The guard of Tianshui City closed the city gate and seemed to be planning to defend the city, so Ma Chao had only one way to attack.
As night fell, Ma Chao and his soldiers were exhausted. Not only did they rush over, they had to work hard for a while, and they were both camping and logging! So that night everyone in the camp slept very heavily.
Jiang Er saw Ma Chao choose to camp twenty miles away from the city, and suddenly had other ideas. Then he quietly sent a large number of scouts to investigate. After nightfall, the scouts reported: "The defense of Qi Jun camp has been relaxed."
After hearing this, Jiang Jie knew that his opportunity had come, so he gathered all the troops in the city and gathered eight thousand people. So Jiang Jie took the eight thousand people out of the city quietly and came outside the Qi army camp. Jiang Jie and his men endured until midnight before they killed them.
Although the Qi army had some people guarding the camp, they could not stop the large group of troops under Jiang Jie. So after a charge, Jiang Jie rushed into the Qi army's camp with his men. Then he entered the camp, Jiang Jie immediately ordered people to set fire everywhere.
Ma Chao woke up in a deep sleep, and his personal guards came to report: "The enemy has attacked the camp!" Ma Chao was shocked and immediately got up and killed him before he could wear armor. He took dozens of Cao troops with a gun company and suddenly saw a man opposite commanding Cao's army to set fire!
Ma Chao was furious and rushed towards Jiang Jie. When Jiang Jie saw Ma Chao coming, he immediately rushed to Ma Chao and stabbed him. Ma Chao did not block it, but directly shot Jiang Jie in the chest.
Jiang Jie was shocked by Ma Chao's actions and thought to himself: "Why doesn't Ma Chao play according to the routine? Will he die with me with this shot?" Thinking of this, Jiang Jie immediately changed his move, and after returning the shot, he blocked Ma Chao's big gun.
Ma Chao succeeded with a shot and immediately launched a crazy attack around Jiang Chao. Jiang Chao waved his big gun and tried his best to resist. In this way, more than a dozen meetings passed by. Jiang Chao found that he was not Ma Chao's opponent at all.
So he had the intention of retreating. At this time, the tent next to them caught fire, and the flames rushed around Ma Chao had to hide aside. This gave Jiang Jie a certain amount of space, and he turned around and left with his men.
Ma Chao was still going to lead people to chase him, but was stopped by Ma Dai. He said, "Brother, don't chase the enemy!" Ma Chao glanced at his brother, immediately awoken, and then stopped the war horse.
This time, the camp suffered heavy losses. Although not many people died, they lost a lot of tents and supplies. I lit the data for the night. The next morning, Ma Chao read it and then gathered his troops and retreated for ten miles, and then set up camp again, waiting for Han Fei to lead the brigade of troops to arrive.
Another day later, Han Fei led his men to the big tent. Sitting in the main seat, listening to Ma Chao telling the side of what happened in the past two days. Han Fei frowned when he heard it. After a long time, he asked, "Meng Qi, what name do you think the guardian of Tianshui City should add?"
"I'm Jiang Jie. This person is not very skilled in martial arts. I've led people to fight every day, but I've never seen him go out of the city to fight!"
After hearing this, Han Fei frowned even more. He always felt that he had heard of the name of the guard opposite him. Someone named Jiang? Could it be his family? Suddenly, something sounded at Han Fei. He turned his head and said to Ma Chao: "Go and check it out, who are there in Jiang Jie's family!"
Ma Chao immediately ordered, and there was a reply when he was not too late. It turned out that Jiang Jie had a wife and a child living in the city, and only his mother was still living in his hometown. After hearing what Ma Chao said, Han Fei asked, "Meng Qi, what was the name of Jiang Jie's son when he said it?"
Ma Chao looked down at the information, and the name of each person in the Jiang family was on it. "Jiang Ye's son is Jiang Wei!" Ma Chao replied.
"It's him!" Han Fei was shocked when he heard this, so he said to Ma Chao seriously: "Tianshui City is going to be taken down, and I want this Jiang Jie's family too!"
Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this, and then asked, "Military advisor, you are..."
Han Fei waved his hand and said, "Meng Qi doesn't need to say much. I have a reason for this matter. You can go and help me with something, that is, you must invite Jiang Jie's mother to the camp!"
Ma Chao didn't understand why, but he still acted as Han Fei said and invited Jiang Jie's mother to the camp. Han Fei personally warmly received Jiang Jie's mother.
Jiang Jie's mother was not grateful for Han Fei's enthusiasm, but she did not act too aggressively, so Han Fei started talking with her. After some exchanges, Jiang Jie's mother was moved by Han Fei's persistence, so she agreed to write a letter to Jiang Jie.
