Chapter 46 Ma Chao who broke through strongly
Ma Chao listed a triangular matrix, and as the strongest breakthrough force, he stood at the forefront of the triangle. [Ran^Text^Library] He took a deep breath, pointed out his spear, and shouted, "Charge!" ”
As soon as the words fell, this small cavalry team of five hundred people sped towards the huge Cao army opposite.
In the blink of an eye, the matrix team had already come to Cao Jun, and even many Cao Jun were stabbed by Ma Chao with a shot before they could react.
It is said that under the absolute superiority of numbers, the strength of individuals is often negligible. But Ma Chao seemed to break this point of view, leading a small team of only 500 people with one person and one horse, and he was stunned to carve a long gap in Cao's army.
If there is a plane in the air at this time, you can clearly see how small Ma Chao's five hundred people are in the crowd, but how powerful they are, there are no soldiers who can stop their footsteps.
Ma Chao sprinted through the crowd with his spear, and he didn't know how many people his spear had killed, nor how far he had run. He could only see around him, and the mountains were full of Cao Cao's soldiers, and they couldn't kill or die.
Numbly shot, numb dodging, Ma Chao's eyes are now only ahead, only the target in front - the empty plain. As long as you walk through the crowd, you can see the empty field.
Suddenly, there was a mournful roar, which made Ma Chao retract his gaze, and he saw that there were many wounds on his black rose, and the hard armor had been shattered at some point, and the blood kept swaying.
Seeing that Black Rose was seriously injured like this, Ma Chao couldn't help but burst out, he usually has no hobbies, but he loves horseback riding. Especially this black rose, Ma Chao almost treats it as his own brother. Now seeing it screaming in pain, Ma Chao seemed to feel its pain, and shouted: "Get out of here!" ”
Ma Chao swept away the surrounding soldiers heavily, and with a hula, a clearing was vacated. Ma Chao turned around and found that there was no one behind him, and the five hundred cavalry subordinates had already been buried in the sea of people at some point. Looking at the dense crowd around him, Ma Chao couldn't help but smile bitterly, he still held it up, he thought that he could rely on the strong sprint power of the black rose to break out of the enemy formation, it seems that he overestimated his strength.
Could it be that I, Ma Chao, am going to die at the hands of these nobodies? Am I going to die in this pit daddy's dream? Ma Chao looked at the sky with some despair, and saw that the sun in the west was about to set, and the sunlight reflected on the clouds, emitting a bloody red, was this symbolizing his death?
Suddenly, Ma Chao heard a burst of screams around him, followed the voice, and saw a familiar figure appear directly opposite him, he was fighting hard in the crowd, and shouted loudly: "Senior brother, don't be stunned, hurry up and kill it!" ”
This person is Zhou Yukun, who obeyed Xu Shu's orders and came to answer. It's just that Zhou Yukun's strength is still not strong enough after all, and he can't enter anymore just by rushing into the crowd for about ten meters. When he saw Ma Chao not far away, he hurriedly called.
Seeing this, Ma Chao hurriedly rode towards Zhou Yukun's side. When he came to Zhou Yukun's side, he was lifted up immediately. The two of them rushed all the way through the horses, and finally broke out of the crowd five minutes later. They didn't dare to pause, and went straight all the way, leaving Cao Jun far behind. Some Cao Jun light horses wanted to chase and kill, but they couldn't compare to the speed of Black Rose, so they could only watch Ma Chao and the two run farther and farther!
"Senior brother, what's the matter with you, why did you come to the battlefield by yourself, and you came on foot, isn't this sending you to death?" Ma Chao asked with some reproach.
Zhou Yukun scratched his head in embarrassment: "Actually, I rode a horse and brought troops over, but after coming to the battlefield, the horse sat on the ground directly without obeying the call." As for the soldiers, they couldn't be found after rushing into the crowd, and they probably didn't save their lives. ”
Ma Chao shook his head helplessly: "You, I really don't know what to say about you!" ”
"Hmph, what about me, I just saw you stunned in the crowd, aren't you just the same careless?" Zhou Yukun said a little unconvinced.
Ma Chao was speechless for a moment, he didn't know how to explain, at that time he thought that there was no hope of escaping, so he looked like that, but he didn't expect that he was actually not far from rushing out of the crowd, what a shame to get home! He snorted, reluctantly put this matter through perfunctory, and then took Zhou Yukun towards Xinye City.
……
In the city of Runan, Cao Cao looked at everything around him with a frosty face, gray-black char, devastated houses, and soldiers in pain. His heart was angry, extremely angry, so angry that he wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood right now.
He can still remember that not long ago, he led the army into Runan City with high spirits, thinking that Liu Bei's garrison was vulnerable in front of me. Halfway through his army, he suddenly saw a great fire burning in the west, and the fire was so rapid that he had never seen it before. If it was under normal circumstances, and without the help of the wind, how could it burn so quickly.
In an instant, a bad premonition came to my heart, this fire was not caused by mistakes, it was man-made! It must have been Liu Bei's traitor who did it, he wanted to burn himself alive in the city! After Cao Cao came to his senses, he was not ready to call someone to extinguish the fire, and directly asked the army to evacuate quickly. Because since it was a premeditated fire, they would definitely cut off the water source, and it would definitely be in vain to extinguish the fire at this time.
After that, under the fire swelling, Cao Cao barely escaped from the city, but many of his soldiers were buried in the fire, after all, the city gate is so big, and not many people can come out at one time. And in that panic, more people are trampled to death than burned to death.
After some adjustments to the statistics, Cao Cao couldn't wait to tear this result to shreds. Because in this fire, more than 10,000 of his 200,000 troops died, and this figure is not too terrible, only one-twentieth. But you have to know that that's just the number of dead, the real headache is the seriously injured people, more than 40,000 people in total. In other words, of his 200,000 army, only 150,000 people can really stay to fight.
"Liu Bei, Liu Bei! Very well, you really me off, I didn't want to deal with you so soon, but you annoyed me so much that I had to make you disappear into the dream sooner. Cao Cao muttered to himself for a while, then suddenly raised his head and shouted around: "Cheng Yu! Where is Cheng Yu? ”
Hearing this, a dusty man ran from not far away, and said cautiously: "Lord, I'm here, I don't know what to do with me!" ”
Cao Cao ordered expressionlessly: "Now, you send me someone Xuchang, and I will mobilize all the men and horses for me, I will slaughter the city, I will slaughter the city!" ”
Cheng Yu's face was full of horror, and he said incredulously: "Lord, no, never!" You mobilize all the people from Xuchang, what if someone sneaks up. Moreover, you must not do such a thing as slaughtering the city, if you really slaughter the city, where will the people dare to follow the lord in the future! You must think twice! ”
"Xuchang left 10,000 defenders, and all the rest were transferred. Xinye can not be slaughtered, but Liu Bei's sergeant can't stay! After speaking, Cao Cao flicked his long sleeves and walked away, obviously his intention was determined and non-negotiable.
Cheng Yu sighed bitterly, his lord was too presumptuous, and he had taken a step back now, what else could he do, he could only honestly obey the order and go back to Xuchang!
