Ma Chao galloped over on horseback, intending to capture Dong Min, how could the guards around Dong Min let Ma Chao capture the adult alive, shouted several times, rushed up, and flew at Ma Chao.

"Miscellaneous people, give me death!"

Ma Chao swung the giant lance violently, and the huge force roared, and the lance smashed through the siege of the guards, and everywhere the cross lance blade went, all the flesh and blood were broken.

"Kill!"

Dong Min didn't want to sit still, he swung his sword to meet Ma Chao, but Ma Chao burst in front of him, blasted Dong Min's offensive with a lance, and the whole person jumped up and knocked Dong Min off the horse.

"Protect your lordship!"

"Protect the young master!"

Dong Min's personal guards and Gao Shun shouted together, and the soldiers on both sides hit each other fiercely and strangled each other.

Ma Chao kicked away the enemy soldiers, and just as he was about to get up from the ground, dozens of spears stabbed him, trying to stab him into a hedgehog, but Ma Chao was forced to retreat by wielding a lance.

Bigfoot stomped on the tip of the spear forest, and then lunged forward, knocking more than a dozen enemy soldiers to the ground.

He pulled out the sword at his waist, and a sword slashed like a streamer, and more than a dozen clouds of blood mist exploded with a puff, and the blood mist spread out in a single piece, obscuring people's vision.

The enemy soldiers suddenly lost their target, and when they were at a loss, they saw a figure faintly shaking in the blood mist.

A giant lance suddenly came out from the blood mist: "Three Peerless Lances, Water Floods the Golden Mountain!" ”

The blood qi flew with the dance of the giant lance, turning into a stream of blood-colored qi to kill forward, and with a bang, the qi suddenly burst out, sweeping in all directions!

"Ahh

"Ahh

"Ahh

The soldiers were hit by the blood-colored qi, and the qi passed through the chest, and the whole person exploded directly on the spot, exploding into a large area of bloody flesh and mud, and a long series of explosions sounded one after another.

When the strong wind finally blew away the blood mist, only stumps and severed arms were left all over the ground, and it was impossible to recognize the appearance of the dead corpse before it was alive.

"This!"

Dong Min was so frightened that he no longer wanted to fight with Ma Chaoli, he just wanted to escape far, the farther away the better.

"Where to go!"

Ma Chao shook off the blood on the spear and rushed to kill, Dong Min was so frightened that he ran away and got into his own soldiers, wanting to use human flesh as a shield to block Ma Chao.

Seeing him do this, Ma Chaoshen was ashamed and played with taste: "Master Dong, do you think that hiding among a few soldiers can bring you a sense of security?" ”

After that, he was ruthless: "Three Absolute Lances • Mount Tai is at the top!" ”

The phantom of Mount Tai formed by a strong force suddenly appeared in the sky.

Dong Min and many other soldiers raised their heads together, staring at the phantom of Mount Tai above their heads in amazement.

Then Ma Chao slammed down: "Break it for me!" ”

With a bang, it was like the sky was cracking, and a thunderous explosion exploded in my ears!

The whole earth trembled with Ma Chao's voice, and the soldiers reflexively raised their blades and shields in their hands, wanting to block the bombardment of Taishan's phantom, but they only supported their arms to block the car, which was just a drop in the bucket.

"I can't help myself!"

Ma Chao snorted coldly, and in front of him, a huge crater was blasted out of the ground, which was full of dead bodies and severed limbs, and a large patch of blood condensed into a pool of thick plasma, pungent and bloody.

Dong Min stood tremblingly in the middle of the dead body, in his eyes, Ma Chao was a devil.

"You, you're the devil, you're the devil!"

After Dong Min shouted this sentence with all his strength, he immediately spat blood from his mouth and fainted to the ground.

Ignoring the unconscious Dong Min, Ma Chao said to Gao Shun: "Arrest him for me!" ”

In the first battle, Dong Min was captured and half of the plan was completed.

The other half was without Dong Min in charge, Zhao Yun finally led the army to break through the pass and seize the fortress set up by the Liangzhou army in the area of the Wei River.

With the grain in hand, Ma Chao was overjoyed, he hurriedly led the army into the grain pass, and there were 200,000 stones, counting the grain captured by Niu Fu, a total of 300,000 stones.

"With so much grain and grass, it seems that Dong Zhuo's ambition is not small."

"Wow, how many days do you have to eat so much food?"

Gongsun Chan has grown so big, he has never seen so much grain, and the grains are full and piled up into mountains.

Over the years, he has been fighting with the Hu people everywhere in a bitter cold place like Youzhou, just for a little bit of food.

This time, when I saw the mountains of grain at first glance, I couldn't help but feel in a trance, as if I was in a dream.

Xu Shu nodded and said: "I really didn't intend to insert willows and willows, I didn't expect our army to make a surprise attack, and actually knocked out such an important pass of the Liangzhou army, maybe the Liangzhou army is on the way to march here, we should continue to go out and cross the Wei River quickly." ”

What Xu Shu said is very reasonable, Dong Zhuo hoarded so much grain here, definitely not to pile it up and look good, he had to seize strategic places before the Liangzhou army came here, and intercept them halfway.

After a night of repairs, the next morning the army continued its march.

After 2 days, it finally crossed the banks of the Wei River and entered the Luoyang Basin.

The distance from Luoyang to Chang'an belongs to the hinterland of the Central Plains, surrounded by rivers and rolling mountains and hills.

Therefore, the natural geographical advantage allows the hinterland of the Central Plains to defend one side by virtue of natural hazards.

If you want to lead the army to attack the line from Luoyang to Chang'an, you can only invade from the east and west ends of the basin, and you can't directly invade from the south and north, because the north and south are full of mountains, and you only need a Xiongguan to occupy the entrance and exit of the mountain path, even if you have wings, it is difficult to fly.

Wei Yan's Meridian Valley Surprise Soldier proposed during the Northern Expedition was also because there was a mountain path that could be interspersed from the Meridian Valley to the foot of Chang'an City.

Zhuge Liang did not adopt Wei Yan's surprise attack strategy because once the Meridian Valley was stopped by the Wei army, it would be the life of the entire army, and Shu Han was very short of troops.

In the Three Kingdoms period in history, for Cao Cao, the greatest threat to him was not Eastern Wu, only Shu Han, because the route of Shu Han's Northern Expedition was to capture Liangzhou, and then enter the hinterland of the Central Plains from the west.

Even if Jingzhou was not lost, Shu Han would at most feint from Jingzhou, and Hanzhong was the main route of the Northern Expedition.

Guan Yu's defeat doomed the northern expedition from Jingzhou to Cao Wei to be impossible, unless Shu Han first destroyed Eastern Wu and occupied the complete Yangtze River channel to have a chance.

Cao Wei went south, was blocked by the Eastern Wu outside the Yangtze River moat, in fact, the Eastern Wu wanted to go north, even if there was no Hefei City, it was difficult to enter, Cao Wei also had a strong pass.

At this time, the generals studied the map and had crossed the Wei River, and they had to make a detour from the direction of the Jing River in the eastern basin of the Wei River to the Beibi Mountain.

Although the Jing River and the Wei River belong to the same river basin, they are clearly divided because of the east and west capitals, and they form the idiom "Jing Wei is clearly distinguished".

In the north of the mountains, there is a Jinghe path, which belongs to the branch of the Luohe River, and goes directly to the north of Luoyang.

The goal of Ma Chao's army was here, and once he crossed the river, he would be able to cross the Beibi Mountains and engage the main force of the Liangzhou army.

At the same time, if nothing else, Dong Zhuo's main force is definitely guarded here.
