Chapter 963: It's not good to be a teacher
It doesn't matter if he dies, but the 30,000 elite soldiers behind him can't all be left here.
They must be taken away and taken to the city of Nanzheng.
Otherwise, with the loss of tens of thousands of horses, Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu in Nanzheng City would be under great pressure.
Although Gao Pei didn't think that he could completely take away these 30,000 soldiers and horses, but at this point, if he could take some of them, it would be a part.
It's better than losing all these people here.
If they are all lost, even if Gao Pei does not die here, Liu Zhang will definitely not spare him.
30,000 soldiers, after Deng Xian died in battle, they were scattered all of a sudden, and without the command of the main general, the soldiers and horses that were already in chaos were already in chaos, and it was even more chaotic at this meeting.
Some of them, who were at the forefront of fighting with the cavalry, could not dodge, so they could only muster up the courage to engage the cavalry.
And with this part of the containment, the rest of the people who are farther away will begin to retreat at this time.
It was at this time that Gao Pei quickly ran in the direction of Nanzheng City with thousands of men and horses.
This place is not far from Nanzheng City, just outside the city, and you only need to walk for a while to be able to come to the city.
Of course, this does not seem to be a long distance, but for Gao Pei, it will take a long time.
In the frenzied slaughter of these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under Ma Chao's cavalry, there were not many people who could really follow Gao Pei and escape back to Nanzheng City.
30,000 people, 10,000 people can escape back to the city, which is already very good.
After Ma Chao killed Deng Xian, he was also excited, at this time his purpose was to leave all these enemy troops here outside the city, so he launched a crazy massacre of these Xichuan soldiers and horses led by Deng Xian.
Thousands of Xiliang iron horsemen, slaughtering Deng Xian's remnants outside the city, that is, a group of lambs to be slaughtered, in just half an hour, the 30,000 troops here, there is not much left.
The rest of the people have either fled to the city of Nanzheng City, or they have already turned into a cold corpse.
Ma Chao's body was stained red with blood, his hair was a little messy, and he didn't know when his helmet was thrown out, although he was facing some opponents who didn't have much strength, but Ma Chao's body still had some small wounds.
When I was fighting just now, I didn't pay attention, but now that I stopped, Ma Chao felt a little tired.
Looking at the enemy troops who had fled to the city, Ma Chao did not continue to chase.
First, after such a long time of slaughter just now, Ma Chao himself was a little tired, even if he was an iron fighter, his physical strength was limited, not to mention, Ma Chao wielded his spear at least hundreds of times just now, and high-intensity combat would naturally consume extreme physical strength.
Second, those soldiers have already run to the city of Nanzheng City, once Ma Chao leads his cavalry to the city, he will inevitably be shot by Zhang Lujun on the city tower.
When the time comes, the gains outweigh the losses, and Ma Chao doesn't need to attack the city, so naturally he won't make this kind of sacrifice in vain.
Anyway, Liu Bei told him the order to cut off Liu Zhang's reinforcements, which Ma Chao had already done. And he did a good job, at least 20,000 of the 30,000 troops were killed by him, and the rest of the army lost their armor and fled back to the city, which was also a great chaos and unbearable use.
Ma Chao only needs to clean up the battlefield at this time, and then go back to resume his life.
South Zheng Chengshang.
The news of the battle between Ma Chao and Deng Xian outside the city caused a lot of movement, and Liu Zhang, Zhang Lu and others in the city naturally knew about it.
It's just that this is what happened on both sides of the city, and after Zhang Lu and Liu Zhang, in the direction of the north of the city, gradually ran to the south of the city, the battle here was nearing the end.
When Liu Zhang came to the south, he only saw Gao Pei in a mess, and fled back to the city with some remnants.
"Gao Pei! Why are you back, what's going on, Deng Xian? ”
Liu Zhang was a little anxious at this time.
Although it is not particularly clear what is happening outside the city, Liu Zhang already has some vague guesses.
Gao Pei fled back to the city, and just took two breaths, he was caught by Liu Zhang and asked, he didn't dare to hesitate, so he could only say to Liu Zhang while panting.
"Gong ...... Childe, big ...... Big things are not good, we ...... We were ambushed by Guan Yu's men and horses, and General Deng Xian was killed! ”
Gao Pei made a long story short and told Liu Zhang what happened outside the city.
After Liu Zhang listened, he almost didn't catch his breath.
"What!"
He got up from his chair and almost jumped up in a hurry.
"You...... You say Deng Xian, this bastard is dead? ”
Deng ...... General Deng Xian was a small general under Guan Yu, more than 20 rounds to pick off the war horse, was directly killed, the last general saw General Deng Xian killed, can only converge the soldiers and horses, temporarily retreat to the city first, otherwise lose the main general, 30,000 troops, will be the enemy's cavalry scattered formation, there is not much left. ”
Gao Pei knew that at this time, he was going to tell Liu Zhang in detail about some things on the battlefield, and he began to put all the responsibility on Deng Xian, who was already dead, and at the same time invited himself to take credit, saying that it was not easy for him to gather the remaining soldiers and horses, and take them out of the encirclement from the battlefield and return to the city.
Otherwise, the 30,000-strong army will not be able to withdraw at all, and will be completely lost outside this city.
Only in this way can Gao Pei be able to get a chance to survive in the hands of Liu Zhang, who is in a rage.
Otherwise, the furious Liu Zhang is estimated to directly slaughter Gao Pei.
Although Gao Pei said this, Liu Zhang was still angry, and lost 20,000 troops in this way.
Liu Zhang's hand was a slap.
With a snap, a crisp and loud slap hit Gao Pei directly in the face.
made Gao Pei, who was already a little panicked, directly blinded by Liu Zhang's slap.
"Rubbish! It's all rubbish! 30,000 troops, Lao Tzu's 30,000 army, just tossed by you like this, what is Lao Tzu raising you waste for, even a small general under Guan Yu can't beat it, you can only embarrass Lao Tzu! ”
Liu Zhang really wanted to slaughter Gao Pei with a knife, but it was easy to kill Gao Pei, but he couldn't find anyone more powerful than Gao Pei and their army, and now Deng Xian is dead, and Liu Zhang's subordinates only have Yan Yan and Zhang Ren, who each commanded Liu Zhang's 10,000 troops in the city.
Counting the 10,000 remnants in Gao Pei's hands, there are still 30,000 people.
and Zhang Lu's own 30,000 soldiers and horses, they still have 60,000 troops in this Nanzheng City.
"Childe, now is not the time to be angry, then Guan Yu sent someone to cut off our way, it must be prepared in advance, I think their next plan is to attack the city, return to the north gate quickly, otherwise it will be too late to regret it!"
