Chapter 596: The Battle of Destroying Cao (58)
"Report..." Ma Chao led the army to gallop to the southeast, and it didn't take long for him to receive a report from the scout: "General, Xu Huang has led the army here, and it has reached fifteen miles away." ”
"Got it."
Ma Chao snorted: "Xu Huang is also a famous general, even Lu Xun can't deal with it, and he still wants to fight on two fronts, isn't he looking for death?" ”
"Zhang Heng."
"Yes."
"Order all the cavalry, follow me to fifteen miles away, and I will meet Xu Huang for a while." Ma Chaodao.
"The general has an order, we are only here to be on guard, and we will not let Xu Huang help Xiangyang. Now that Xiangyang has been conquered, we should go back to restore our lives. Zhang Hengdao.
"What? Don't even listen to me? ”
"The last general will not dare. But the lord asked, how do we answer? In case of.... Zhang Heng was worried that Ma Chao would attack rashly, if he hadn't fought Xu Huang, things would be in trouble.
After all, Ma Chao only had 20,000 Northern Cavalry troops and 6,000 Youzhou cavalry, which was not much. The strength has also been greatly reduced.
Ma Chao snorted: "My Northern Cavalry Army is extremely powerful, and it can deal with several times the enemy, not to mention that Xu Huang and Lu Xun have been fighting for more than half a month, how can I not fight?" Leave your word and go quickly. ”
"Yes."
Zhang Heng gave the order.
Twenty-six thousand cavalry, advancing fifteen miles away.
On a plain, encounter with Xu Huang's 40,000 infantry army.
The 40,000 troops were all foot troops, but pikemen and hook-sickle pikemen were the majority. It was originally formed to deal with Yuan Xi, but now it comes in handy.
Da Da...
Ma Chao led the army to.
The front of the battle is opposite.
Ma Chaolie shouted: "Xu Huang, I respect you as a good man, and I can't bear to kill you." You'd better surrender on your own initiative. ”
"Don't be ashamed! Ma Chao, if you really have the ability, you will fight with me and defeat me with dignity! Xu Huang also slowly came out of the battle, without showing weakness.
"Hmph... What's so hard about that? ”
Ma Chao didn't pay attention to Xu Huang's troops at all, and with a wave of his spear, thousands of cavalry came out of the battle and rushed towards Xu Huang.
"Array!"
Roar, roar, roar...
From behind Xu Huang walked out a force of 10,000 troops, with shield soldiers in front and a large number of pikemen and hook and sickle pikemen behind them. As well as a small number of archers.
"Shoot the arrows!"
Whoosh...
The archers unleash their arrows.
Due to the small number, it did not cause damage to Ma Chao's cavalry.
Just a dozen horses were knocked over, and it was not enough to disrupt the cavalry formation.
Bang bang bang ...
As the distance between the two armies closed, thousands of cavalry rammed into the formation.
Xu Huang's troops were a rare elite of Cao's army, which was originally prepared to strike backwards to meet Yuan's army, but now they were only used to defend the land.
It seems like an overkill to them.
In the face of the charge of a large number of cavalry, the shield soldiers did not resist.
The cavalry rushed into battle and began to fight.
Ma Chao, who was watching the battle in the rear, saw it and said with a smile: "Since the formation has been broken, how can Xu Huang be undefeated?" Zhang Heng, ordered all the Northern Cavalry Army, follow my Daxu, and charge and kill the Cao Army's military formation. ”
"Yes."
"Wait..." Ma Chao stopped Zhang Heng again.
He saw the cavalry rushing into the enemy line, attacked by a large number of hook-scythes and pikemen, some with their legs cut off, others stabbed to the ground. In just half an hour, nearly a thousand were lost.
"You're right, Xu Huang really can't be underestimated." Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said, "Order to withdraw the army!" ”
"Yes..."
Zhang Heng was a little surprised that Ma Chao actually ordered the withdrawal of troops.
In his mind's eye, it was as if nothing like this had ever happened.
Every time I face the enemy, I fight desperately, and I will never give up until I fight the last person. But this time, he didn't even fight, and retreated directly.
Woo woo...
The horn sounded.
The Youzhou cavalry in front of them were defeated and retreated on all fronts.
They are so fast that they retreat in the blink of an eye.
Xu Huang couldn't catch up if he wanted to.
"Xu Huang, I'll spare your life today. Bring the day and take your head. Ma Chao threw down a cruel word and led the army to retreat to Xiangyang.
In the battle just now, he lost 2,000 cavalry.
Although they are all Youzhou cavalry, not his subordinates, but after all, they are brothers who eat in the same pot, and Ma Chao still feels very guilty.
After returning to Xiangyang City, he took the initiative to ask Yuan Xi for his guilt.
"You can stop the rush at the critical moment and avoid more casualties, which can be regarded as a long progress. This time, I won't punish you first, and after meeting Yecheng, I will be executed by the military and government. Yuan Xi said.
"Thank you, Lord."
Ma Chao stepped aside.
Jia Xu smiled and said: "My lord, before coming to Jingzhou, you asked me if Sun Quan was not sincere in surrendering, but there is evidence. The minister now has the evidence. ”
"Oh? Where's the proof? ”
Yuan Xi asked urgently.
Jia Xu said: "The minister received news that when the lord led the army and entered Jingzhou, Lu Xun led the army to retreat to Jingnan. Does the lord know his intention in doing this? ”
The gentleman continued.
"Yes."
Jia Xu explained: "Lu Xun and Xu Huang were inseparable, if they continue to fight, even if Lu Xun can win, there will be casualties." Therefore, he simply retreated to Jingnan and did not fight Xu Huang. In this way, Xu Huang can concentrate his forces and deal with the lord. Of course, it is impossible for Xu Huang to defeat the lord, but this is very beneficial to Lu Xun. He gave up the battlefield, whether the lord won or Xu Huang won, he could make a decision. And... If the lord asked him why he did this, he could still quibble and say that he did not dare to compete with the lord for Jingzhou, so he would give Jingzhou to the lord. Hehe... I have to say that Lu Xun really saw it thoroughly, and he used this trick to retreat as advance, and he used it really well. ”
"Indeed..." Yuan Xi said angrily: "It seems that from beginning to end, Sun Quan didn't want to submit to me. Otherwise, Lu Xun would never dare to do this. ”
Jia Xu said: "The lord can write another letter and ask Sun Quan to transfer Lu Xun to the war and help the lord eliminate Xu Huang." Presumably, Sun Quan didn't dare to refuse. ”
"Hmm."
Yuan Xi also has this intention.
I want to hide in Jingnan and take advantage of the fisherman, but there is no door.
...........
Xiangyang defense was handed over to the trial.
Yuan Xi sent a letter to Sun Quan, and at the same time rushed to Jiangling with Ma Chao's cavalry and 30,000 elite infantry troops. Prepare to take this fortified city in the middle of Jingzhou.
Xu Huang's army was stationed there.
It was also his only big city in Jingzhou.
As long as Jiangling is captured, Xu Huang will no longer have the possibility of confronting.
Forty-five thousand paces, heading southeast.
Xu Huang did not fight hard, and took all the troops back to Jiangling, strengthened the city defenses, and prepared to defend the city.
It seems that he also knows that Yuan Xi is not easy to deal with.
In the field, his chances of victory are slim.
Or defend the city.
"I don't know what the situation is with the prime minister, whether he has guarded Guanzhong, alas... It's really exciting. In Jiangling City, Xu Huang had a sad face.
He was ordered to defend Jingzhou, first lost Nanyang, then Jingnan, and now even Xiangyang was captured by Yuan Xi. In the huge Jingzhou, only Jiangling is still in his hands. If he can't hold this place, he will only die.
