Bell, bell, bell...

In the next moment, the warship rushed to the shore. There was a sharp iron rod in the bow of the ship, which pierced into the embankment and held the earth in death.

Ma Chao immediately got up and shouted in surprise: "Quick, get on the bridge and rush over..." ”

"Kill!"

Pound personally led 500 soldiers as the vanguard and fought out of the warship.

Before Ma Chao left, he smiled at the captain of the naval academy: "Your warships are really good, a hundred times better than the warships of Cao Cao and Jingzhou." ”

"Thank you, General, for the compliment."

The captain smiled.

Ma Chao went to chase Pound.

All the soldiers, after hitching up the pontoon, ran towards the opposite bank.

The Wei River defense line, which was originally heavily defended, was thrown into disarray after a surprise attack.

Cao Tai saw that the general trend had gone, and he ordered very unwillingly: "Withdraw, withdraw quickly!" ”

"Throw all those instruments into the river, quick!"

After giving the last order, Cao Tai fled on horseback.

It's a pity that Ma Chao didn't see it, otherwise, he would have to chase it to Chang'an City.

..............

Cao Tai's evacuation caused the Weihe defense line to collapse.

More than 2,000 soldiers of Ma Chao and Pang De successfully took over the territory.

"This battle was fought... It's too easy, and I haven't loosened my muscles yet. Pound couldn't stop smiling bitterly.

"Isn't it easy or not?" Ma Chao said: "I am the most reluctant to fight a water war, I would rather be on land, facing ten times the enemy army, and it is better than fighting in the water." ”

"Hey, hey... Yes, water warfare is not our specialty. Pound laughed back.

"Hurry up and send a signal to Yan Liang, and the army will quickly cross the river. We will guard here, and when our iron cavalry arrives, we will attack Chang'an together. Ma Chao said.

"Okay."

Pound himself blew the horn.

When Yan Liang on the other side heard this, he led a large army to cross the river. During this period, Ma Chao and Pang De stayed by the riverbank and did not dare to leave for a moment. They knew that the more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in their hands would not play a role, and they could only start a war with Cao when the army came. Although they are impatient and eager to kill Chang'an immediately, they can't lose big because of small things.

Yan Liang received the signal, and the whole army began to cross the river.

At this time.

Cao Tai led thousands of remnants of the army and retreated to Chang'an City.

"Father, father..." Cao Tai ran into the school yard and saw Cao Ren training soldiers, so he stepped forward and said, "Father, the Weihe defense line has been lost, and the army of Yan Liang and Ma Chao has crossed the Weihe River and is coming towards Chang'an. ”

"How long have you held out?" Cao Ren asked.

"I..."

Cao Taizhen didn't have the face to say.

"Convene all the generals and discuss the affairs of the Chinese army." Cao Ren didn't bother to ask again. He could almost conclude that Cao Tai had lost the Weihe defensive line at the very beginning of the battle, because he had not received any news.

"Yes."

Cao Tai personally beat the drums of war.

The generals in Chang'an City all gathered in the military tent of the Chinese army.

"The military situation is urgent, so I won't discuss it with you, and directly issue a combat order." After the arrival of the generals, Cao Ren pointed to the map and said: "It is not too difficult to defend Chang'an, because Chang'an has a solid defense, with sufficient oil, equipment, and troops, and the enemy army has no giant beasts, so it does not pose a threat to my Chang'an, and the only thing I am worried about is Shangluo, Huayin and Wuguan." Especially Wuguan, he held the enemy's main road to the Central Plains, once the enemy broke through there, their iron cavalry would enter the Central Plains, causing an unimaginable impact on the battlefield of the Central Plains. This is something I absolutely will not allow! ”

"Therefore, give up Shangluo and Huayin. Fully stationed in Chang'an and Wuguan. The Wuguan is guarded by me. ”

"Cao Tai."

"The end will be." Cao Tai is on the list.

Cao Ren said: "You lost the Weihe defense line just now, and you should have been beheaded, but I read that you are a first-time offender, and you are allowed to make meritorious contributions." Ordered you to lead 50,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Chang'an, are you willing? ”

"Father...."

"There are no fathers and sons in the army, only generals!" Cao Ren's eyes froze.

"Yes." Cao Tai said: "The last general is defeated, and the last general is worried.... ”

"Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, but if you lose a battle, don't you dare to fight? If so, you don't have to lead the army.... Cao Ren was very angry: "Let me ask you again, can you keep Chang'an?" ”

Cao Ren's aggressiveness made Cao Tai unavoidable.

He embraced the heart of death and shouted: "The last general will fight to the death!" ”

"I'm asking you if you can keep Chang'an. It's not that you want to fight to the death, it doesn't matter if you die, who can bear the consequences if you lose Chang'an? ”

"The last general... The last will be able to hold on! ”

"Okay, worthy of my son!" Cao Ren shouted: "Come, take the military order, and let him write the military order." If you can't keep Chang'an, you should be cooked! ”

"Cooking... Cooking.... Hearing these two words, Cao Tai's face twitched.

"General, the young general has just fought a battle, and he is a little tired, so let's defend the city by the last general. It just so happens that the soldiers in Jingzhou are all trained by the last general, and they are easy to use. It was Wen Ping, the general of Jingzhou, who said this.

As early as a month ago, he was responsible for sending Jingzhou's recruits to Chang'an. After that, he was temporarily stationed in Chang'an to train new soldiers.

"Of course you have to stay, but Cao Tai must be the main general, so in Chang'an City, in addition to the 20,000 recruits from Jingzhou, there are also 30,000 veterans, who have followed me for many years. These arrogant generals won't listen to you. Cao Ren said.

The guards fetched pen and ink.

Cao Tai made a military order.

"General rest assured, I will definitely defend Chang'an!" Cao Tai's expression was appreciative.

Wen Ping nodded.

"Hao Zhao, Jiang Yu." Cao Ren looked at the other two generals.

"The end will be."

Two men appeared from the end of the tent.

These two people are old and young. Hao Zhao was only fifteen years old, and he had followed Cao Ren for less than three months, and was one of Cao Ren's latest discoveries. As for Jiang Yu, he came to Chang'an to take refuge after Han Sui's defeat. The martial arts are mediocre and resourceful.

But Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei's son, is a powerful general.

Of course, Cao Ren didn't know Jiang Wei, and he didn't know what talent Jiang Wei's son had. Because the current Jiang Wei is only twelve years old and has not yet joined the army.

"You follow Cao Tai and Wen Ping, and you are stationed in Chang'an together. I have only one request for you, that is, within two months, Chang'an cannot be lost, and after two months, I will give you reinforcements. Cao Ren said.

"No."

Hao Zhao and Jiang Yu should go down.

Cao Ren continued: "The soldiers of Huayin, withdraw to Tongguan to garrison. The troops of Shangluo withdrew to Wuguan to garrison. Two quarters of an hour later, all the generals followed me to Wuguan. In addition, I will deploy a group of suspicious and ambush troops to the east of Chang'an and west of Shangluo, to contain the enemy and delay as much time as possible. ”

"I'm done with what I'm going to say, the enemy is coming in the blink of an eye, let's go and prepare."

"No..."

The generals did not dare to delay in the slightest and left the camp quickly.

Cao Ren stopped Cao Tai and said, "Tai'er, you were ordered to garrison Chang'an this time, which is a test for your father. If you can't do it, the Father won't be able to keep you. But if you can hold on to Chang'an for two months, the whole court will be impressed with you. And also... Hao Zhao, who I left for you, don't look at his young age, he is very good at playing defensive battles, and he is quite good at learning, you must listen to his advice more. Jiang Yi's martial arts are mediocre, but he is safe, loyal and honest, you can let him guard a city tower, and there will be no loss. As for Wenpin, his martial arts are strong and he can fight horses. ”

"The child remembers..." Cao Tai nodded secretly.
