Although the Xiliang cavalry are all elite cavalry, most of the horses under the crotch are above seven feet five, and the rest are also above seven feet, but compared to the white horses, all of them are eight-foot horses, and they are one person and two horses, and the speed is too far behind.
Even though they had just picked up the speed, the white horse Yicong still quickly threw out more than 100 steps of the Zhongxi Liang Ride, and after a stick of incense, it was already 200 steps away.
However, Ma Chao was willing to give up, and still led the crowd to frantically whip the horses under his crotch, and chased them away.
Just when the two armies opened up the distance of 300 paces, the speed of the horse of Bai Ma Yicong suddenly slowed down, and Ma Chao couldn't help but be overjoyed: "He waited for thousands of miles to attack, and sure enough, the horse was tired, so he quickly caught up."
Sure enough, the horse ran slower and slower, and was gradually chased by the Xiliang cavalry within two hundred steps, and just when Ma Chao was overjoyed, suddenly the white horse in front of him stopped from Qiqi.
When he turned around, there were already five thousand divine arm crossbows aimed at the Xiliang cavalry who were running wildly.
The sound of crossbow arrows breaking through the air suddenly became loud, and five thousand powerful crossbow arrows poured down to the Western Liang cavalry like a downpour again, only to hear the screams loud, and the Western Liang cavalry was shot down a large area again, more than 1,000 people were killed, and the rest were injured.
After shooting this round of arrows, the white horse Yicong continued to flee forward, and gradually threw the Xiliang cavalry out of 300 paces, then loaded the arrows and crossbows, and then turned back to shoot.
After chasing and fleeing, they had already left Didao City for more than ten miles, and the white horses repeatedly turned back and shot three times, so that the cavalry of the Western Liang was only left with more than 10,000 horses, and behind them were corpses and bloodstains, as well as war horses that had lost their owners and screamed.
"Lord, the enemy's horses are fast and strong, if you chase them like this, I'm afraid it won't be long before our army will be shot and killed, it's really not appropriate to chase again, it's better to turn back and storm Di Dao City, and break Di Dao City first" Zhang Heng said urgently.
Xi Yuyu Ma Chao grabbed the Qianli good horse Sha Lifei, his face was full of iron blue, and his eyes were red, but although he gritted his teeth with hatred for Zhao Yun and the white horses, he was helpless.
He knew that Zhang Heng's words were right, if he continued to chase after him like this, he only needed to chase for another hundred miles, and his troops would be killed by the enemy's strong crossbow shots.
"Withdraw" Ma Chao raised the golden gun with a tiger head and shouted loudly, his voice was full of endless grief and helplessness.
As if they had been granted amnesty, the Western Liang cavalry reined in their horses' feet and turned their horses' heads in unison, knowing deeply that they would inevitably die in pursuit if they pursued them any longer.
Thundered The Western Liang cavalry followed behind Ma Chao, turned around and continued to kill Di Dao City.
Just as they had turned around and ran four or five hundred paces, suddenly someone in the rear army shouted, "They have caught up."
Before the words fell, the sound of crossbow arrows was loud again.
A powerful crossbow arrow shot viciously at the rear of the Xiliang cavalry, causing the rear army to roll over on their backs, and they had no power to fight back.
At this moment, Ma Chao completely collapsed, and he helplessly found that the white horse who followed behind him not only couldn't chase and kill, but now it was difficult for him to even retreat, and the so-called plan to attack Di Dao City was undoubtedly a fool's dream.
Zhang Heng on the side knew that the hope of winning was slim, and said urgently: "Lord, the matter has come to this, let's continue to withdraw, if we go back to fight, I'm afraid that the thief army will have to turn back and run again, and so on, we will all be shot." ” Ma Chao said angrily: "If he has been covering up with crossbow arrows behind his back, and I am not as fast as him, wouldn't I be shot by Bai Ma Yicong before my eyes?"
Zhang Heng gasped and said: "In this case, it is better for the last general to lead half of the troops behind to block the thief army, and the lord will lead the rest of the elite soldiers to retreat westward, how?"
Ma Chao looked back at the white horse who was coming violently, and then looked at his own military horses, and there were less than 10,000 military horses left.
With the combat effectiveness of the White Horse Yicong, coupled with the thick aluminum armor and the hundred-for-one steel sword, even if it is not used to fight directly with crossbow arrows, the Xiliang army may not be able to win.
In desperation, Ma Chao had no choice but to agree to Zhang Heng's request, and seeing that this person was so loyal, willing to risk his life, he also had to escort his retreat, and he couldn't help but be moved.
"Okay, if you have General Lao Zhang, I'll leave 3,000 soldiers and horses for you," Ma Chao said excitedly.
After a burst of orders, the Xiliang cavalry quickly divided into two routes, more than 6,000 soldiers and horses followed Ma Chao all the way, and the remaining 3,000 Xiliang cavalry followed Zhang Heng to restrain the horse's feet, slowly turn the horse's head, and stand tall.
After shooting a round of crossbow arrows, the white horses had slowed down, and they had to reload the crossbow arrows, and pulled down the distance of four or five hundred paces, and suddenly saw that the enemy troops in front of them actually stopped, put on a posture of battle, and unconsciously slowed down the speed of their horses.
Zhao Yun slowly reined in the horse's feet, causing the army to stop more than a hundred steps away from the enemy.
"The Xiliang cavalry, which is only about 3,000, wants to line up and fight to the death with my white horse Yicong" Wen Chou on the side looked at the enemy army opposite in confusion, his face full of doubt.
Zhao Yun was also full of doubts, but this doubt disappeared in a flash, and he waved his hand decisively: "Prepare a crossbow" For a while, the crossbow machine made a loud noise, and the crossbows of the divine arm had been raised.
At this moment, a strange scene happened.
Zhang Heng, the main general of the enemy army on the opposite side, suddenly took off his white battle robe, put it on the tip of the gun, raised it high, and shouted: "I am willing to surrender" As soon as Zhang Heng's move came out, not only the Xiliang cavalry were stunned, but even Zhao Yun and the white horse servants were also stunned, Zhao Yun never imagined that the enemy general Zhang Heng would put on a coquettish posture of fighting to the death, and he was actually trying to surrender.
The cavalry of Zhongxi Liang was the first to react, at this moment they finally understood that the boss is the boss, and he can always make the wisest choice at the most critical moment, everyone turned over and dismounted, and knelt on the ground: "I am willing to surrender" Zhao Yun laughed, and immediately left Wen Chou and a thousand cavalry to reorganize and surrender, led the remaining four thousand cavalry, changed into a reserve horse, and rushed forward, chasing Ma Chao and the others.
Ma Chao led more than 6,000 Xiliang elite horses, like the wind to the southwest direction of the mad gallop, now the whereabouts have been revealed, and by the white horse Yicong targeted, if you want to attack in Longxi County to disturb Gongsun Bai's rear, it is obviously impossible, if you don't get it, it will be a total annihilation.
Now that the plan of attack and harassment has been broken, the only way to retreat to the west is to retreat from the Great and Small Elm Valley to Jincheng County, and then go all the way to the northwest to join up with Ma Dai, and then make discussions.
Thundered There was a sharp sound of horses' hooves behind him again, Ma Chao couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly looked back, only to see that the wave of clouds and snow was rolling in, it was the white horse Yicong.
"Could it be that three thousand elite horsemen were killed by Bai Ma Yicong in less than half a burnt of incense," Ma Chao's face was full of surprise.
It's just that time doesn't allow him to think too much, and after changing the white horse with a horse, the horse's speed is getting faster and faster, and between chasing and escaping, it has reached within two hundred steps.
Woohoo Another rain of arrows from the Divine Arm Crossbow shot down seven or eight hundred people in the blink of an eye.
Ma Chao gritted his teeth, roared angrily, and ordered the horsemen to restrain the horse's feet, turn the horse's head, and fight to the death with the white horse.
The rest are all elite soldiers who have followed Ma Chao for many years, and under the leadership of Ma Chao, they all raised their weapons and roared "death battle" loudly, rushing to all the white horses.
The fighting spirit of the Xiliang cavalry was monstrous, but when they encountered the white horse righteous servants whose morale was also high and had an overwhelming advantage in combat effectiveness and equipment, the Xiliang elite cavalry was brave and brave, and they could not avoid defeat after all.
The sabre of the Xiliang cavalry, whether it is split on the armor of the white horse Yicong or on the vest, can only leave a shallow mark, while the Bailian steel knife of the Gongsun army can easily break through the leather armor or cloth armor on the Xiliang army, and even the iron armor on the generals can be split.
Not only that, these Xiliang cavalry are also considered elite soldiers in a hundred battles, basically between 5560, and even many people are above 60, but compared to the white horse Yicong with an average force of 65, it is still a lot worse after all.
In this situation of huge disparity in equipment and obvious difference in combat effectiveness, in just half an hour, the six thousand Xiliang cavalry were beheaded by four thousand white horse Yicong, and they were completely defeated, and most of the rest disarmed and surrendered, and only five or six hundred people followed Ma Chao to the west.

The five or six hundred people who followed Ma Chao were the elite of the elite of the Xiliang cavalry, not only were all above 60 in force, but they also straddled these eight-foot war horses.
However, Zhao Yun was willing to give up, and led more than a thousand white horse servants to chase after him, because he knew that if Ma Chao was allowed to go, maybe Ma Chao would be able to take these five or six hundred cavalry to set off a bloody storm in Longxi.
In the end, he chased Ma Chao and others to the entrance of Xiaoyu Valley, and waited outside the valley for a few days, until Zhang Liao came with more than 10,000 foot soldiers and built a high pass at the entrance of Xiaoyu Valley, and then led his troops to leave.
The time has entered November 205 AD, and the land of Liangzhou is almost dripping into ice, and snowflakes are floating in the sky from time to time.
Since Ma Chao's defeat in Didao City, he no longer has the courage to turn back and fight back, but he was driven all the way north by the cavalry of the Gongsun army, and in just one month, the Gongsun army occupied Jincheng County and Wuwei County, and 30,000 Gongsun cavalry gradually stopped after entering the county of Wuwei County.
The Relief Army and the Zhenxi Army, which were originally guarding the front line on the back of Longxi County, also gradually moved north, entered Wuwei County, and formed a solid defense line in the five cities of Xianmei, Xiutu, Guzang, Luanniao, and Zhangye to prevent Ma Chao's army from moving south.
At the same time, due to the plundering of Ma Chao and others, it brought huge losses and damage to the Qiang and Han people in Jincheng and Wuwei County, and it was already the season when the grass was dry and the horses were thin, and it was also the most difficult season for the grassland herdsmen.
Gongsun Bai sent a steady stream of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other grains and grasses from Guanzhong to help the herdsmen in these two counties.
After being killed and looted by Ma Chao, and then met Gongsun Bai's help, the herdsmen dominated by the Qiang people were all grateful to Dai De, and respected Gongsun Bai as the "Divine Invincible Heavenly King", which also made the people's hearts in these two counties quickly stabilized.
At this time, Ma Chao, who fled all the way to Zhangye County, was far from having a good time.
Today's Ma Chao, the total number of cavalry under his command is less than 20,000, and the generals are only Ma Dai, Yang Qiu, Cheng Yin, and Ma Wan, and the rest are all unknown.
And the most painful thing is that along the way, he was driven by Gongsun Bai to run around, the former majestic "Shenweitian General", now he is panicked like a lost dog, where is there still a little majesty at all, plus he had to rely on looting to make a living in order to supplement grain and grass along the way, so that his reputation in Xiliang has been shouted by everyone.
Father and two brothers were killed, the blood was revenged, and the family was lost in Linjing City, although Gongsun Bai would not insult his innocent wife and child, but it was also a great shame for him.
However, in a few months, the originally heroic and handsome Xiliang Jinma Chao, the male god in the minds of countless Xiliang girls, is now haggard, with unkempt hair, where is there still a little bit of the chic and romantic atmosphere of the past In the lobby, Ma Chao sat in front of the desk, there was a glass of liquor poured into it, his expression was extremely decadent, Ma Dai on the side couldn't bear to want to comfort him, but he opened his mouth, and couldn't think of anything to comfort this brother for a long time. bang Ma Chao suddenly slammed the wine bottle on the case, as if he had made a major decision: "The only way to do this is to borrow troops from the Western Regions."
"What" Ma Dai was startled, with an incredible look on his face.
