Chapter 478: Cao Cao's Defeat (2)

"Lord, can you see Cao Cao?" Ma Chao searched in the camp for a long time, but did not find Cao Cao.

"Don't look for it, he has already retreated to Ji County." Yuan Xi glanced at the Xiliang army and said, "Although our army has won, it has also suffered heavy losses. I just saw Sima Yi going to attack Longxi City, and there will inevitably be a loss in the rear, and you must rush back. ”

"Lord, what a good opportunity now is, the last general should hunt down and kill Cao Jun." Ma Chao said.

"Although the enemy army is defeated, there are still tens of thousands, and your troops are too small, I am afraid..."

"Take advantage of the victory to march, not in the outnumbered, the army that flees, why be afraid of it?" Ma Chao said firmly: "Please rest assured, the sister will be able to hold the city until the last general returns." Now that Cao Cao has fled to Ji County, he will not be able to recover his strength in a few days, so I should take advantage of the situation to march and give him a head-on blow! If you're lucky, you might be able to capture Cao Cao alive. ”

The more excited Ma Chaoyue became, he couldn't wait.

Seeing Yuan Xi hesitate, he hugged his fists and said, "Lord, just let me go." ”

"Okay, there you go. I'll go back to the city and give you reinforcements. Yuan Xi said.

"Thank you, Lord."

Ma Chao didn't want to delay for a moment, and after bidding farewell to Yuan Xi, he led the army to continue the pursuit.

"Could it be that this is the combat style of the Xiliang Army?" Yuan Xi thought in his heart. Although he disagrees with Ma Chao's radical and risky behavior, it is also very good to be able to seize the fighter plane and attack the enemy.

However, the premise is not to be careless in the process of pursuit, and fall into Cao Cao's ambush.

Yuan Xi was worried about the battle in Longxi City and Ma Chao. Then he led the giant python back to the city first, ready to help Ma Yunlu, solve Sima Yi first, and then go to meet Ma Chao.

Outside the city of Longxi.

Sima Yi hurriedly ordered the siege of the city, and the battle was very fierce. Under his command, Cao Jun actually made several big charges in a row in just one hour, and almost broke the city.

Ma Yunlu was also careless. She thought that Ma Chao was going to attack Cao Ying, and Cao Cao would only be tired of coping, and would never divide his troops to attack Longxi City. But the fact is that Sima Yi came and brought the elite of Cao Jun.

"Defend the city well, don't let the enemy come up..." Ma Yunlu took a group of generals and rushed to the city tower.

Yang Qiu, as the general of the northern city, assured Ma Yunlu: "Please return to the city to rest, the last general will definitely defend the city." ”

"You promise? What guarantees do you take? If I hadn't brought reinforcements, Beicheng would have been lost. Ma Yunlu was very angry and ordered the generals around him: "Don't follow me, everyone is responsible for guarding a section of the tower, if there is an enemy coming up, be sure to repel it!" ”

"No..."

More than a dozen generals, with the most elite soldiers under their command, were stationed in Beicheng. Every few zhang, a general stood until the northern city was full. If the defenders can't hold it and make the enemy climb up, they have a role.

In this way, the Xiliang army fought to the death and did not retreat, which slightly eased the situation in Beicheng.

Hiss...

Yuan Xi rushed back with the Titan Python, and arrived at Sima Yi's rear army in only a few minutes, along the gap between the arrays, the Giant Python quickly swam in, and when it was about to reach the Chinese army, the Giant Python suddenly burst out, and the phalanx with a radius of dozens of zhang was overturned. Sima Yi looked back, and just saw the giant python powering, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"No wonder the previous formation didn't work against Ma Chao, who can stop such a big snake?" Sima Yi stared at the giant python intently and muttered.

"Sir, shall we continue the siege, or..." The generals standing beside Sima Yi were all panicked.

"Order the withdrawal of troops." Sima Yi said without hesitation.

"Yes."

It was definitely a wise decision. The generals hurriedly drove and escorted Sima Yi out of the Chinese army.

Woo woo...

The horn of Mingjin sounded, and three banners of Sima Yi appeared on the battlefield, moving in different directions. All the armies left after the three flags.

Yuan Xi wanted to pursue and teach Sima Yi some lessons, but he was worried about Ma Chao's situation. So he gave up the pursuit of Sima Yi and quickly rushed to the west, wanting to meet Ma Chao.

..........

An hour later, Ma Chao's cavalry caught up with Cao Cao at the Jiyang River, and a fierce battle ensued. Speaking of Cao Cao, he was also unlucky, he couldn't run anywhere, he had to run in the direction of the Jiyang River, but there was no boat, and the army couldn't pass. was then killed by Ma Chao's iron cavalry, and the army suffered heavy casualties.

"Kill..." Ma Chao is like a god descending, although the cavalry led by him is small, but he is invincible.

Chase all the way and be completely invincible.

True to what he said before...

Taking advantage of the victory to march, there are no soldiers outnumbered, and the army that flees is not afraid of it.

"Prime Minister, you cross the river first, and you will stop Ma Chao at the end." At the critical moment, Xu Chu stood up and protected Cao Cao.

"Ma Chao is brave, Tiger Hou beware."

"Please rest assured, Ma Chao can't hurt me." Xu Chu led Cao Cao's 1,000 tiger guards, stopped by the river and lined up, and when Ma Chao arrived, they fought desperately.

Don't underestimate this Thousand Tiger Guards, they are Cao Cao's ace special forces.

At this critical moment, taking on the heavy responsibility of protecting Cao Cao, and under the leadership of Xu Chu, the combat effectiveness was doubled.

The battle was fierce for a long time.

Ma Chao and Xu Chu fought a draw again, and the three thousand Xiliang troops accompanying them did not pick up the cheap. Xu Chu's Tiger Guards suffered even more casualties, and in general, both were defeated.

Originally, Ma Chao pursued Cao Jun and was in the upper hand. Now he is fighting with Xu Chu, and he has suffered some casualties, and his spirit has suddenly decreased. The Cao army, which had not yet crossed the river, gathered around one after another to help Xu Chu meet the battle and trap the Xiliang army on the river beach. Ma Chao also noticed this, and fearing that the whole army would be annihilated, ordered to break through to the east.

Hiss...

At this moment, Yuan Xi arrived, and the Titan Python appeared in Cao Jun's sight again.

This can be said to be a timely rain for the Xiliang Army, which has turned the tide of the battle.

Ma Chao was overjoyed and ordered: "Brothers, continue to chase and kill, and capture Cao Cao alive!" ”

"Kill..." The remaining more than 1,000 Xiliang troops turned around and fought again. This time, with the help of the python, the situation changed completely. Not only was the morale of the Xiliang army like a rainbow and its combat effectiveness greatly increased, but Xu Chu's Tiger Guards and Cao's army, which had not yet crossed the river, hurriedly crossed the river like a mouse seeing a cat. Fortunately, Cao Cao had already crossed the river at this time, otherwise he would have to squeeze into the river.

"I didn't expect Cao Cao to be defeated like this..." After Yuan Xi arrived at the scene, he couldn't believe that this was the truth when he saw Cao Jun fleeing in embarrassment. More than 100,000 Cao troops, known as Cao Cao's main force, and their military divisions Jia Xu and Sima Yi, who were personally commanded by Cao Cao, were defeated by 5,000 Xiliang troops. Who can believe it if they don't see it with their own eyes?

...........

This unexpected battle, which lasted for a day and a night, ended with a complete victory for Ma Chao. Cao Cao's army was defeated again and again, first fled to Jixian, and after joining forces with Sima Yi, he fled to Jincheng.

Although Ma Chao was victorious, he did not have enough troops and did not dare to chase and kill for a long distance.

After defeating Cao's army completely, he returned to Longxi City to rest.

"After this battle, we are really proud of it. The soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield just now reported that there were more than 20,000 corpses of Cao Jun and more than 10,000 prisoners. This is not counting the scattered Cao army, in general, Cao Cao has lost at least one-third of his troops. At the celebration banquet, Ma Chao finally let out a bad breath, first accusing Yuan Xi of his obstinate actions, and then counting the results.
