Chapter 309: Defeat Again
In the dark night, a cavalry of Wuhuan wandered on the grassland, which was already very close to Liucheng, and in recent times, Lu Bu led his cavalry to ravage the Wuhuan tribes like a pack of wolves, and a large number of tribes began to move eastward, and at the same time they were more vigilant, and there was little wind and grass, so they raised their clans to prepare for war, and even at night, they were everywhere with such roving rangers.
A cold arrow swept silently through the void, mercilessly piercing the ranger's throat, and the ranger's body suddenly erected, and his hands panicked to choke his throat, trying to pull out the feathered arrow that passed through the throat, but the power passed quickly as the blood continued to overflow.
Puff tom ~
Endless darkness struck, and the ranger's body swayed twice on the horse's back, falling to the ground in despair.
Under the dim night sky, hundreds of horsemen appeared from all around like ghosts, looking at the tribe in the distance, and then at the corpse of the Karasuma man on the ground, Ma Chao turned his head to look at Zhao Yun and said, "General Zilong, you are a god of archery." ”
"Prize!" Zhao Yun bowed slightly, although Ma Chao was ten years younger than him, Zhao Yun was more polite no matter who he treated.
"Where is this?" Ma Chao looked at the camp in the distance and frowned, if he hadn't happened to meet Zhao Yun, he wouldn't have been able to find this tribe.
"It shouldn't be far from Liucheng." Zhao Yun estimated the time they would leave Lulongzhai, and they should be quite close to Liucheng by now.
"Then this tribe, do you want General Zilong?" Ma Chao looked at Zhao Yun with some eagerness.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Yun shook his head with a smile and said, "Be careful, I will lead my troops to cruise around to prevent the enemy from detecting." ”
Now that they have met, it happens that the two teams of men and horses can do a lot of things together, and now Lu Bu's army is erratic, and the task of their four groups of men and horses is to wait for the opportunity to attack Liucheng and cut off the back road of Badun.
"Thank you!" Ma Chao grinned, his eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, with a wave of his hand, a soldier next to him took out a bamboo whistle and blew, in all directions, the sound of horse hooves gradually sounded, several people and horses converged towards this side, and quickly gathered into a huge cavalry formation behind Ma Chao, as Ma Chao began to charge, in the night, in the overwhelming roar, Ma Chao's department swept towards the tribe.
The sound of fighting, the roar, resounded in the night, perhaps, for many Karasuma people, a little cruel, but Zhao Yun and Ma Chao are both generals from the border land, and they know very well that this Karasuma people are usually herdsmen, and maybe they will be very hospitable, but when they jump over the border and enter the territory of the Han Dynasty, they will turn into vicious and inhuman beasts.
The herdsmen of Karasuma are pitiful, but when they plundered the Han people, who took pity on the Han people?
Zhao Yun led the men and horses to roam around, watching the distant tribes gradually turn into a sea of fire, when the Karasuma people escaped in a hurry, they would be killed by Zhao Yun's troops, and the sound of fighting lasted for most of the night, until the sky was about to dawn, and it stopped for a while.
……
"Bang~"
Liucheng, the guards who stayed here heard that the tribes around Liucheng had also begun to be sacked by the Han Chinese, and a large number of Karasuma tribes began to continue to migrate to the White Wolf Mountain, and they were immediately angry.
"Lu Bu is just that, this Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Pang De, Zhang Xiu, but nobodies, dare to bully our army!?" The guard threw the wine bowl on the ground and roared, "Gather the men and horses, find me the nearest Han army from here, and I will cut off their heads with my own hands!" ”
If you don't fight, you can't do it, a Lu Bu has already greatly reduced the grassland of the Karasuma people, and now that the four new teams of people and horses continue to kill like this, I am afraid that the grassland west of Liucheng will become the horse farm of the Han people, and it will be difficult for the Karasuma warriors to raise their heads in front of the Han people.
As for who started this war, it doesn't matter, what matters is that now the Han are invading their most fertile pastures and weakening their living space, which is unacceptable to them.
"Yes!"
At that moment, the general agreed, turned around and went to gather the troops of various tribes, preparing to sweep away Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Pang De, and Zhang Xiu one by one, so that the Han people knew that not all Han people were called Lu Bu, and they wanted to spread wild on the territory of the Karasuma people, and these Han people were not qualified enough!
……
"Hey, at this time, the Karasuma people still dare to take the initiative?" After dawn, Zhao Yun and Ma Chao had already found the direction of Liucheng and were discussing how to attack the city, but they were rewarded by the scouts.
"The tribes on this grassland are different from the Qiang people, they are good at shooting, but they are not good at defending the city, if they are allowed to defend the city, they may not be as good as going out of the city to fight." Zhao Yun explained with a smile that he followed Gongsun Zhan to fight outside the Saiwai as a white horse servant, and he still understood the habits of Karasuma and Xianbei people, and the people on this grassland were still very powerful in field warfare, but they were not good at attacking or defending the city, if Lu Longzhai was not attacked by the Yuan family, if he let Kudun attack by himself, eight hundred people would be able to block the Karasuma people.
"Coincidentally, I'm also good at riding and fighting!" Ma Chao grinned and said, "General Zilong, it's better for you and me to join forces and defeat him again, so that these Karasuma people don't have to be too arrogant." ”
Zhao Yun nodded, he also had this intention, and looked at the surrounding environment at the moment and said: "Meng Qi went to lure him here, I led my troops to ambush behind the mountain, just waiting for the thief army to come, I will kill from the side and rear, cut off its military momentum, and Meng Qi will fight head-on, how about it?" ”
"Wonderful!"
At that moment, after the two discussed, Zhao Yun led the men and horses to ambush, and Ma Chao called people to lead those Karasuma people to come.
The Karasuma generals were demoralized during this period of time when they were defeated by Lu Bu with less and more than 30,000 in a few thousands, and they urgently needed a victory to tell all the Karasuma people that the Han army was not all Lu Bu, and Ma Chao took the initiative to meet the battle, which was exactly what he wanted, and he led the men and horses to chase the Han cavalry who went to attract the enemy all the way.
"I'm Xi Liang Ma Chao!" Ma Chao looked at the Karasuma cavalry that came to the vast slaughter, there were a lot of them, and he was overjoyed, this time was all about how Lu Bu was brave, although Ma Chao also knew that Lu Bu's prestige was probably inferior, but this did not mean that he was convinced, you know, before he voted for Chen Mo, he Ma Chao was also known as the first brave general in Xiliang, how could he be willing to be suppressed by Lu Bu, and now when he sees the Karasuma army, he wants to use this battle to prove to the world that he is brave and does not lose to Lu Bu.
"Is there anyone in the thief army who is willing to come and die!?" Ma Chao came to the front of the two armies, fighting generals this kind of thing, there is no way to live in the Central Plains, I really dare to run to the front of the battle generals, it is no different from looking for death, but because of the lack of materials and the worship of the strong, the Hu people prefer this way to win.
The Karasuma general laughed when he heard this, it was rare that there would be a Han general who was willing to fight, and immediately turned his head to look around: "Who will take this person down for me!?" Teach him what a warrior is! ”
Ma Chao has an unruly personality, especially that arrogant appearance, which is really underwhelming.
"I'm coming!" A Karasuma warrior roared and galloped towards Ma Chao.
"Poof~" Ma Chao excitedly rode his horse and rushed wildly, sitting down was a famous horse of Dawan, extremely fast, the two war horses rushed in the opposite direction, but when the cold light flashed, the Karasuma warrior had been stabbed off the horse by Ma Chao.
"Karasuma warriors?" Ma Chao looked at these Karasuma people and laughed loudly: "Are you waiting to joke with me? ”
While speaking, two Karasuma warriors rushed on horseback, but Ma Chao was not afraid at all, with a swing of the spear in his hand, his head smashed to the Karasuma warrior on the left, the warrior hurriedly raised his lance to parry, and saw that Ma Chao's spear had sunk into the chest of his companion, and the seemingly mighty smash just now was just a false move, and the Karasuma warrior suddenly felt fooled, and when he rushed over, he turned the horse's head and wanted to fight again, but before he turned around, he felt a chill in his heart, but it was Ma Chao who rewarded him with a throwing gun.
In an instant, killing three Karasuma warriors in a row made the morale of the Karasuma army appear a little unstable, and the formation was also a little commotion, but the subordinates of the three Karasuma warriors had no subordinates, some wanted to attack, and some did not move.
Although Ma Chao likes to fight, he is not ignorant of the art of war, on the contrary, on the battlefield, he has a wolf-like keen sense of smell, and the enemy has flaws, how can he miss this opportunity?
Immediately roared, and the spear waved: "Kill!" ”
Two thousand cavalry galloped up behind him, and Ma Chao took the lead in killing the handsome banner of Karasuma.
"Warriors, kill!" When the Karasuma general saw that Ma Chao rushing towards him as a gun, although he was frightened in his heart, he couldn't weaken his momentum at this time.
When the two armies were hedged, a horn suddenly sounded in the rear of the Karasuma army, and a group of men and horses came out from behind the mountain and broke directly into the rear of Karasuma.
But it was Zhao Yun who led his troops to kill.
In the chaos, no one paid attention to how many people and horses the other party had, the grassland army was not good at military discipline, the Ma Chao army was far less than them, and they dared to fight, and they were suddenly attacked at this moment, and the loose military discipline of the grassland army became the most fatal weakness at this time.
The front army had just fought with Ma Chao, and they didn't want to be in chaos in the back, so the front army was also in chaos.
The two armies flanked back and forth, the Karasuma people were instantly scattered, fleeing in all directions, and after Zhao Yun and Ma Chao converged, the Karasuma army had almost collapsed, and the Karasuma generals could only retreat with their men and horses when they saw this.
Zhao Yun and Ma Chao chased and killed all the way, until they chased to the foot of Liucheng, and saw that the other party sent soldiers and horses to support, so they stopped, packed up their soldiers and horses, and calmly retreated.
In this battle, the Karasuma general wanted to give the Han army a dismount and boost their morale, but who knew that they were beaten all the way by Zhao Yun and Ma Chao, and their morale was not motivated, but they lost thousands of men and horses, so they could only retreat to the city in disgrace, not daring to come out again.
Zhao Yun and Ma Chao did not stay away after retreating, their target this time was Liucheng, and they captured several tribes as camps around them, preparing to meet Pang De and Zhang Xiu, and then discuss the siege strategy together.
