Chapter 543: Zhang He Breaks the Xiliang Iron Cavalry


Liangxiang, after the torrential rain, Ma Chao has already ordered another attack.

The dried earth did not stop the pace of the attack of the iron cavalry under Ma Chao's command, but in two days, only nearly half of the three thousand tigers under Cao Cao's command were killed.

Cao Cao took them to the village, the only dozen or so houses remained, at this moment Cao Cao wore a cloak, sat in front of a fire, and looked at the stars above his head, "I have been in the world for decades, and I will die here today." ” "Lord, Ma Chao has surrounded Liangxiang for six days, and no reinforcements from Dongwu have arrived at this moment, so I think he has been pinned down by Man Boning in Youzhou."

"But I really want his Lu Xun's soldiers to rush to help."

Cheng Yu was dumbfounded, "Why is this?"

"Thou hast remembered a holy decree I gave when I went north."

"Order all departments to abandon the county seat, only defend the fortified city, clear the wilderness, and stick to the help" Cao Cao bowed slightly, "Tonight is a godsend, calculate the footsteps, during the day, our two armies clashed in front of the formation, and the momentum was great, if it weren't for the fact that our army's arrows had not been used up, I was afraid that the head of the master would be captured by him Ma Mengqi during the day."

At this moment, after several days of fierce fighting, the soldiers under his command are all tired, if there is an iron cavalry raid on the camp outside his village at this moment, he can win a complete victory. ” "But how can Your Majesty inform the reinforcements of this God-given opportunity" At this moment, Cheng Yu had already woken up.

"The sergeant was ordered to place three piles of flames on the highest roof, in the shape of a zigzag."

"Whoa."

After a short time, Cao Cao saw three piles of flames rising from the roof diagonally opposite.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what these three fires mean" "Pinzi, originated from Wuzhong Liu Zixing's work Jiangdong New Regulations, the top of the word is a sharp spear, the tip of the spear is aimed at the Ma super camp, it is for the attack, and the word is three fires, it is three moments of the child."

"I see."

Cheng Yu's eyes fluctuated slightly, "Your Majesty, it is General Zhang He who has come to help at this moment." ” "Exactly."

"I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are" "10,000 iron cavalry, commanded by Gao Ran, 3,000 foot soldiers, commanded by Zhang He."

"Counting the wounded soldiers, there should be more than 4,000 Xiliang veterans in the Ma Super Battalion outside the village, and this 13,000 horse infantry army may be broken."

"If it was two battles ago, there was a confrontation on the battlefield, and he Zhang He would not be able to leave Ma Chao, but if it was a night attack, his Ma Chao would be broken by Zhang He."

At night, neither Cao Cao nor Cheng Yu fell asleep, and when several scouts guarding the entrance of the village were put down by arrows, the captain below reported that Ma Chao attacked at night.

"A good Ma Mengqi, he was willing to order his Xiliang Iron to ride off the horse and fight, he really didn't know how to pity his sons, his Xiliang cavalry was so brave that he hated to be owned by me."

Cheng Yu couldn't cry or laugh, if it weren't for the fact that you coaxed Ma Teng and killed his two sons, how could Ma Teng hold a grudge.

However, the gap between Cao Wei and Xiliang Ma was because of Zhong Xuan's death before.

In the past, Cao Cao led Sun Quan to cross the Huai River to the north, stationed in Nanyang to resist Liu Bei and Liu Biao, and later Zhou Yu attacked Wuguan at night, entered the pass, and united Ma Teng Han Sui to surround Chang'an and force Zhong Xuan to death.

"Report to Your Majesty, the sergeant in the front village can no longer withstand it, Ma Chao is in front of the battle with a cowhide shield made overnight, and the old man of Xiliang is also very brave when he dismounts his horse and fights on foot, our army has suffered heavy casualties, and General Zhuge ordered us to protect His Majesty to break through from the back village."

"No withdrawal."

Cao Cao waved his hand, "I am here, tell him that Zhuge Qian, if he can't keep the village, then he will die with me." ” "Whoa."

After another half an hour, Cao Cao stood on a slope, and had already seen the firelight that was only a few dozen steps away from here, and in the firelight, a military general wearing silver armor and holding a gun shouted, "Cao thief, you have no way out, and you should not be poked in the neck quickly." ” Cao Cao smiled again and again, "Ma Mengqi, if you can kill in, you will take the head of the Venerable Master." ” "The usurper of the Han and the traitor, everyone will be punished, a prince of the Xiliang Ma clan for generations, today he will kill you for the Han Dynasty."

"Sons, follow me in."

"Kill."

At this time, the village suddenly burst into flames, and the wounded battalion left by Ma Chao outside the village was broken through the camp by countless iron cavalry from nowhere.

"Report to the general, the camp outside the village has been attacked, and the general is asked to return to help quickly."

Ma Chao's face changed slightly, "How many soldiers and horses are coming?"

"The night is too dark, but the camp is on fire, and there should be tens of thousands of people."

"Withdraw, quickly, all the sergeants turn on their horses and prepare to meet the enemy."

Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Ma Chao did not panic, he was not alone, and there were thousands of Xiliang iron horsemen behind him.

"Your Majesty, the Ma super battalion has been attacked, and reinforcements have arrived."

The sergeant standing above the earthen wall was pleasantly surprised.

"Tell Zhuge Qian, chase him out, throw arrows, don't let him go too easily."

"Whoa."

Ma Chao gritted his teeth and looked at Cao Cao on the slope, obviously he was going to capture Cao Cao again, but the house leak happened to rain overnight, and the wounded barracks outside the village were sneak attacked, he had to rescue, more than 1,000 sergeants in the battalion, but they were all old troops who had followed his father and son for many years, if he abandoned these loyal old soldiers, how would he gain a foothold in the fierce generals of the Eastern Wu Army in the future.

"Ma Chao, can you still recognize Zhang He" When Ma Chao led the army to the entrance of the village, hundreds of Xiliang iron horsemen who turned over and mounted their horses had already fought with thousands of sergeants wearing iron armor, each of these sergeants was wearing imitation composite armor, holding a halberd in both hands, standing with Zhang He who was holding a halberd at the moment, standing at the entrance of the village like a copper wall.

The chaotic herd of horses was just a stone's throw away, and the moment Ma Chao turned over and got on the horse, the military formation in the distance was already slaughtering towards the front.

In a short confrontation, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which can be called the elite of the world, lost three or four hundred people, Ma Chao was so painful that his heart was dripping blood, he and Zhang He fought several times and repelled it, and raised his spear, "Break through, break through to the north." ” He led the army to kill through the halberd, and before he escaped, he met the iron cavalry of the commander of Gao Lan, and the two elites fought a little, when Ma Chao fled north to Dingshui, the sky was already dark, and he ordered his guards to count the iron cavalry behind him, only three hundred and forty-nine horsemen remained.

He burst into tears, "In the past, the courage of Xiliang was lost by Zhang He's hands, and this revenge will not be avenged, and a certain Ma Chao will not be a man." ” "General, how should we behave?"

"Go north, go to Guangyang."

"Whoa."

More than ten miles in front of Ma Chao's army, a military general with a longbow in his hand and thousands of soldiers ambushed on the side of the road watched intently at the defeated army fleeing from the north in embarrassment.

"Whoosh", at dawn, an arrow fell with a scream into the Wei army that crossed the river and fled south
