Chapter Ninety-Seven: Tricking Dong Min
Niu Fu fainted, causing the Liangzhou soldiers to be in turmoil, the original morale was only more than 50 points, but now it fell to only more than 10 points, Ma Chao burst out: "Surrender and don't kill!" ”
Ma Chaojun shouted thunderously: "Surrender and don't kill!" ”
With a snap, the first Liangzhou soldier took the lead, dropped the weapons in his hands and surrendered, and more soldiers surrendered, causing a chain reaction and surrendering one after another.
Gao Shun grabbed Niu Fu and asked Ma Chao: "Young master, how should this be punished?" ”
"Just hold him, he is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, I will be of great use in the future, send soldiers to take care of him, don't let him escape!"
"Whoa."
The soldiers and horses of Niu Fu's headquarters were captured in the first battle, and only more than 1,000 troops were left in the pass, and they could not withstand the onslaught of Ma Chao's army at all, and they successfully broke through in just half an hour.
Ma Chao led the crowd into the pass, counted the spoils, and the soldiers returned: "Report!" ”
"Hundreds of war horses, 100 taels of gold, 1,000 pieces of silk, and 100,000 stones of grain and grass were seized."
"100,000 stones?"
Ma Chao frowned: "There is so much grain and grass, it seems that Dong Zhuo sent heavy troops to guard the north of Luoyang in order to stop the troops of the He, You, Hebei, and Qing Prefectures, bypassing the Qinling Mountains in a roundabout way, crossing the Wei River, and heading south to Luoyang." ”
"Quite possibly."
Xu Shu nodded and said: "There is a lot of grain and grass here, but there are not many troops, it seems that Dong Zhuojun has not recovered from the war with Zhu Jun." ”
Hearing this, Ma Chao's eyes rolled, and he immediately had a plan in his heart, and said: "In this case, our army should fight quickly, take advantage of the fact that Dong Zhuo's army has not yet been deployed, quickly take the city pass, and go south to Luoyang!" ”
After saying that, he immediately ordered Gao Shun to lead hundreds of elite cavalry, put on the armor of the captured Liangzhou soldiers, pretend to be the rout of Niufu County who escaped from the pass, and immediately set off to another pass where grain and grass were hoarded behind.
At this time, this grain and grass pass is surrounded by the Baimayi army, and there are 5,000 people in the pass, and they are not afraid of the three generals of Zhao Yun, and the general guarding the pass is Dong Zhuo's younger brother Dong Min.
Dong Min sat at the gate and guarded, looking at the pass in front of him from afar, and the beacon fire was closed in the sky, and the black smoke drifted into the clouds in the sky, and he was very anxious, but he couldn't leave his post without permission, so he could only confront Zhao Yunsan, who was outside the pass.
Zhao Yun got the news of the scouts and immediately began to attack the pass until dusk and sunset, and then withdrew his troops and left.
At this moment, a group of hundreds of soldiers suddenly ran out of the thorns, all unkempt, their armor was not neatly dressed, and many of them even lost their weapons in their hands.
Zhao Yunjun made a gesture to kill these soldiers, and the soldiers shouted loudly, and all of them scattered as birds and beasts, and fled in all directions.
On the tower of the city gate, Dong Min saw it clearly, this group of hundreds of routs was clearly the outfit of the Liangzhou soldiers, seeing that they were being chased and killed by Zhao Yunjun, and Zhao Yunjun had just failed to win the siege, and the army's combat effectiveness at this time was already at the end of the crossbow.
Desperate to know what happened to Niu Fu, Dong Min thought of this, and immediately led the army out of the customs to rescue the defeated soldiers.
"Kill!"
The door was wide open, Dong Min led 3,000 cavalry to suddenly kill, Zhao Yunjun panicked, no longer chased the rout, just drove the war horse, and fled for his life.
"Bring someone back to the customs!"
Dong Min led his troops back to the pass and asked the defeated soldiers: "Are you Niu Fu's soldiers and horses?" ”
"Yes, exactly."
The strength of Bai Ma Yi's army came from Bingzhou and Youzhou, and some of the last elite soldiers of Gao Shun's army were from Liangzhou, and it was Gao Shun's personal guards who answered at this moment, using Liangzhou dialect, and Dong Min believed most of them as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Come on, Niu Fu's side, what's the situation?"
"General Hui, the pass is being stormed, General Niu is fighting hard, and seeing that the situation is critical, he sent us to rush out and ask the general for help!"
"Help..."
Dong Min frowned, of course he wanted to save Niu Fu, after all, Niu Fu was still Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and he was Dong Zhuo's younger brother, the two were relatives, and they were very close friends on weekdays.
But now it is different from usual, if other forces were to attack, Dong Min would have gone out to rescue a long time ago, but now it is Ma Chaojun who is here to attack.
As Dong Zhuo's younger brother, Dong Min has a deep understanding over the years, it is really a god who blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha, no matter how powerful an army you are, it is difficult to compete with the Bingzhou army.
The general who attacked him in front of him to guard the pass was holding the "Zhao" flag, and this general was one of the several fierce generals under Ma Chao's account, Zhao Yun!
The fierce generals under Ma Chao's account were headed by Li Cunxiao, and there were Lu Bu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, Pang De, and Zhang Xiu.
There are also Su Dingfang, the commander of the expedition to Wuhuan, who attacked the counties of Youzhou, and the two generals Gao Shun and Sima Cuo.
The rest of the generals, such as Gongsun Zhan, Tian Yu, Zhao Zhao, Xian Yufu and other generals, are all generals who have guarded the border for many years, and Ma Chaojun's combat effectiveness can be seen, which is not comparable to ordinary forces.
And now, it was Zhao Yun, one of the eight fierce generals, who attacked the pass, and he was only ranked sixth, and there were five more powerful generals in front of him.
Dong Min walked back and forth, not knowing how to decide, Gao Shun, whose face was full of black, gave a color to the soldier who spoke, and the soldier immediately said: "General Dong! ”
"General Niu remembers your old relationship, I hope that the general can lead the army to save him!"
"If the general doesn't save him, then General Niu will definitely die, he has already said that he swears to live and die with Chengguan!"
"People are here, they are closed; People die, the shutdown is broken! ”
Speaking of which, and seeing that this soldier was sincere, as if Niu Fu, who was covered in blood, was in front of him, Dong Min took a deep breath, then spit it out, and swung his sword fiercely, holding it high above his head: "All the soldiers listen to the order!" ”
"In!"
"Follow me and rescue quickly!"
"Whoa!"
At this moment, at dusk and sunset, it was already night, Dong Min lit up 3,000 soldiers and horses, and quickly rushed towards the pass where Niu Fu was.
As soon as his army walked on the front foot, Zhao Yun suddenly appeared on the back foot from the other end and stormed the pass, while Dong Min's army was halfway through the road, and suddenly felt that there was a fire in front of him!
"Huh?"
Dong Min fixed his eyes and saw that on the road ahead, countless torches suddenly appeared, and he was majestic, it was Ma Chao!
Dong Min looked flustered: "It's you?" Ma Chao! ”
He looked left and right, and it was difficult to hide his panic in his expression, could it be that Niu Fu's pass had been attacked by Ma Chao?
Ma Chao hugged his fist at Dong Min and said, "Back then, thank you Lord Dong for taking me young from Longxi and showing my skills in Bingzhou. ”
"Thank you."
Ma Chao said sincerely, but Dong Min heard the coldness in his words, and his eyes relaxed: "Ma Chao, you..."
The generals around him surrounded him, and they all shouted angrily: "General! ”
"It's come to this, how can we sit still and wait for death?!"
"I don't have many super troops, so it's better to kill it and return to Chengguan, it's really not good, so I can return to Luoyang!"
Dong Min's eyes lit up, indeed, Ma Chao in front of him did not have many troops, and he immediately roared: "The whole army obeys the order, rush out for me!" ”
"Return to Kannai!"
"Kill——!"
The two armies fought, people shouted horses neighing, the flames were intertwined, they couldn't distinguish each other, and when they were killing to the end of the battle, a cavalry suddenly came out from behind, and they headed 2 big flags, which were written "Pang" and "Gongsun"!
"Not good!"
"It's Pound and Gongsun Zhan's army!".
The three generals of the White Horse Yicong all appeared here, Dong Min was suddenly confused, his eyes were erect, and he was already thinking about escaping that way.
Ma Chao rode into the enemy formation and let out a long roar: "The matter has come to this, Lord Dong, do you still want to escape?" ”
