Chapter 198: Hangu Breakout Ma Teng died in battle

"Blame me, blame me! Blame me for being belligerent and fighting hard with Cao Cao, which is why we have the current situation. Now Hangu Pass is besieged, more than 10,000 dead and wounded, unable to report, if Hangu Pass is lost, what face to see the lord! Alas! That's it! Now that it has come to the critical moment, I Dianwei has made a decision, Brother Zhou Cang, I will guarantee you to break through and go to Tongguan for help! Dian Wei said with annoyance.

Including Zhou Cang, all the generals were silent, but the slightest movement on Zhou Cang's face could not escape Dian Wei's eyes, Dian Wei looked at Zhou Cang, waiting for his reply.

"Brother Dian Wei, you and I are like brothers, how can I leave you? Moreover, now that Cao Cao hates you to the bone, if you protect me to break through, how can you get out of the way? Am I Zhou Cang a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Zhou Cang shook his head and said loudly.

"Brother Zhou Cang, the overall situation is important, you have followed Boxiong for many years, don't you understand this truth? I'm going to die for a lifetime, I'm the chief general of Hangu Pass, I can't leave my post without permission, don't say it, I'm the boss, just do it! Dian Wei shouted.

"The last general is willing to work with General Dian to protect General Zhou Cang to break through!" Dian Wei has always had a deep friendship with his subordinates, and seeing the brotherhood between Dian Wei and Zhou Cang, the generals were indignant and shouted in unison.

For a while, all the generals said that they wanted to protect Zhou Cang's breakthrough, Zhou Cang's heart was moved, he knew the importance of the breakthrough rescue, nodded heavily, and said to Dian Wei: "Brother Dian, take care of the tiger's body, Zhou Cang will be more than three days, and the Tongguan rescue soldiers will be brought in, Brother Dian, you have the courage to be brave, you have to wait here!" ”

At this time, the separation is most likely to become a permanent secret, and Dian Wei also felt the pain and admonished: "Brother Yu Lu is cautious, I am here to wait for the news, and when you bring the troops back, we will get drunk." ”

Zhou Cang nodded with tears in his eyes, and said to Dian Wei and the generals: "Generals, Zhou Cang was ordered to go to Tongguan for help today, and leave for a few days. ”

Dian Wei nodded heavily, and said with a wry smile: "Wow! Ladies and gentlemen, today we are doing our best to protect the Zhou Cang brothers from breaking through tonight. ”

"It's incumbent!"

In the dark night, the gate of Hangu Pass was quietly opened, a group of soldiers rushed out, Zhou Cang was located in the middle army, Dian Wei and other columns left and right, the black pressure poured out of the north gate of Tongguan, and swarmed Zhou Cang to the Cao army that surrounded Hangu Pass. Perhaps, God bless Zhou Cang, the night sky is dark tonight and there is no moon, and it is difficult to see the five fingers in the deep hands.

It was not until a hundred paces from the enemy camp that the army quietly stopped. Dian Wei lowered the double halberd and said to Zhou Cang: "Brother, don't fall in love with war, be careful all the way!" ”

Zhou Cang nodded heavily, tears welling up in his eyes.

Dian Wei showed a deep smile, hung up the double halberd, took out the remaining ten small halberds on his waist, held them high, and shouted loudly at the moment, grabbed the horse and rushed forward, and roared: "Cao Jun is dead, Dian Wei is here!" Haha, who can stop me! ”

Dian Wei galloped all the way, the Condor warriors behind him followed left and right, and the rest of the soldiers rushed out and brazenly greeted the Cao army camp that was still asleep. As soon as the words fell, Dian Wei had already rushed to the gate of the big camp, and the small halberd in his hand was thrown up, and ten small ones flew to different places under the light of the torches, each with great strength, like a lightning bolt to the enemy formation.

"Poof!" "Ahh ……

Ten small halberds flew to the ten guards stationed at the gate, and the halberds passed through the throat, and there was no missing hair.

Dian Wei took the lead in snatching people, reinvigorating the morale of his own army, and shouted and cheered in unison. The Condor Warrior formation had already been laid out, and in an instant, thousands of sickle hook guns flew into the Cao military camp. Cao Jun suffered two losses in a row, and he had already woken up at this moment, and it was Xu Chu and Cao Xiu who were stationed at the north gate, and under the command of Cao Xiu, they formed temporary battle formations. The war drums sounded, and Cao Jun came to Dian Wei and others, and two more teams arrived from the two wings.

Dian Wei shouted, took the lead bravely, and rushed straight to Cao Ying with a double halberd. Cao Jun was so sudden by Dian Wei, the formation was a little chaotic, and he called the police everywhere, disturbing the city passes on all sides, and led the army to respond. Dian Wei led the troops to rush left and right, pointing to the east and west, so that the Cao army was just set up, and it was chaotic, and it was chaotic for a while.

Zhou Cang took this opportunity to rush straight into Cao Ying, and under the cover of Dian Wei and the soldiers, Zhou Cang cut melons and vegetables to fight a bloody road, highlighting the encirclement.

Dian Wei rushed to kill for a while, Xu Chu and Cao Xiuwei came over, Dian Wei did not count the battle, had no intention of fighting, turned the horse's head, and led the army back to Hangu Pass, no one could stop him. This made Xu Chu and Cao Xiu angry.

……

In the past, the princes of the Nineteenth Road fought against Lu Bu, Huang Zhong gave Dong Zhuo's tiger prison pass, and the soldiers patrolled back and forth, without slackening, the arrow tower was towering, and it was vaguely seen that there were sergeants watching around on it, and the garrison was strict. It looks very normal, but if you zoom in on the picture, you can see that the tiger prison is closed, full of corpses and weapons, blood flows like a river, and the big camps behind are waiting for them, without slackness, and there are two big flags in the middle of the camp, which read: "Cao", and another book: "Xun".

"Uncle, what should I do now?" Zhang Xiu, who was covered in blood, asked Zhang Ji beside him in a deep voice. Looking at the continuous camp in front of him, Zhang Xiu frowned again and again, at a loss.

"The hateful Cao Cao, dare to openly rebel against the imperial court and attack Luoyang, we are greatly favored by the imperial court and General Zhao Xu, the Tiger Prison Pass is the place of Luoyang Fortress, and this time we will defend the Tiger Prison to the death. How many soldiers do we have now? Zhang Ji looked at the camp in front of him and asked.

Zhang Xiu's face was solemn, and he said: "Uncle Hui, Cao Jun has attacked twice in the past few days, and we have suffered heavy losses, and in addition to the injuries, there are still more than 10,000 people now. ”

"Whew!" Zhang Ji let out a sigh of relief, and his face was very serious. After a long time, he said, "Hateful! Cao's offensive is so fierce, it is clear that it is to fight to the death to capture Luoyang, we sent a letter to Linzi for help at least half a month to arrive, Luoyang except for Ma Teng eight thousand Xiliang iron cavalry, no other soldiers and horses, now the imperial court has learned of the war in the Tiger Prison, must first send Ma Teng to the rescue, now it should be on the road, huh...... I hope to hold on until reinforcements come! Alas! ”

At this time, on the road leading from Luoyang to Tiger Pass, a team of men and horses was advancing rapidly.

"Father, twenty miles further is the Tiger Prison." Ma Xiu stopped at the horse, turned to Ma Teng and said: "Cao Cao rebelled against the imperial court, his power is very great, and the defenders of the Tiger Prison Pass are limited. With our 8,000 elite soldiers, we may be able to support it for ten more days, and as long as the army of King Zhongxing arrives, we will be able to repel Cao Cao. ”

Ma Tengjian's eyebrows furrowed slightly, he waved the whip lightly in his hand, and said heavily: "That's the case!" Tell the troops, speed up, and be sure to rush to the Tiger Prison Pass tonight. ”

"No!"

The year before last, Ma Teng originally had 10,000 Xiliang iron horses, but now there are only more than 8,000 left, but when he heard that Ma Chao was thriving in Xiliang, Ma Teng was also very pleased, and felt that Cao Cao did not dare to turn his face directly with Liu Bei, so he did not transfer troops to Luoyang.

At this time, the war drums in front were thundering, and a small group of Cao soldiers and horses suddenly appeared to block Ma Teng's army.

Ma Teng was furious when he heard this, and was about to meet the battle in person, but Ma Tie dissuaded: "Father, use a knife to kill chickens, and I'll go to the front." ”

Ma Teng nodded, whipped down, and shouted loudly, "Xiu'er, Tie'er, it seems that the Cao army has infiltrated the pass, you two command the troops to advance quickly, and you must wipe out the Cao army." ”

"No!"

Later, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie took 2,000 guards to ride directly to kill the enemy, and they were brave. Ma Teng led 4,000 iron horsemen to ride the momentum. For a time, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the earth shook the mountains.

Half of the Cao army that came to resist was infantry, and it was already a loss to the cavalry, not to mention the elite Xiliang iron cavalry, which couldn't resist it when it landed, and quickly retreated. Where are Ma Xiu and Ma Teng willing to give up, they are entangled with Cao Jun and kill all sides.

"Knock knock...... Kill! ”

Suddenly, drums sounded in the mountains and forests on both sides of the avenue, and the black-pressed arrows rushed out of the woods with a deafening roar, and shot into the battlefield with a deafening roar.

The Xiliang army was all cavalry, with few shields, and they were caught off guard, and they fell a large area in an instant. Ma Teng's father and son were shocked, Ma Xiu and Ma Tie bravely protected Ma Teng, retreating step by step, Ma Teng hurriedly shouted, and said "Withdraw, withdraw, ...... quickly"

Before the Xiliang army retreated fifty steps, the golden gong sounded, and the earth-shattering sound of killing accompanied by the tide of ambushes rushed out of the mountains and forests with great momentum.

"Kill ......"

The Xiliang army was caught off guard, and the people who were killed were shocked, and they panicked one by one for a while, and fled in a panic.

Cao's army swarmed up from all directions, killing wantonly, and flesh and blood flew on the battlefield.

Ma Teng's father and son each led their own guards and fought hard, intending to tear open the gap and fight their way out of the encirclement. At the same time, the Cao army under the Tiger Prison Pass also suddenly stormed the Tiger Prison Pass and broke through at all costs, and Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew struggled to resist the enemy and fell into a bitter battle.

In the melee, Xiliang Tieqi and Ma Teng's father and son became eye-catching targets, and arrows rained down. The powerful Xiliang Iron Rider fell to the ground screaming one by one, and even Ma Teng's mount was pierced by sharp arrows, and fell to the ground with a loud and miserable scream.

Ma Tie, Ma Xiu and a group of guards were in a hurry, desperately protecting Ma Teng. Gather the remnants of the cavalry, form a conical formation, and try to fight their way through the corpse-strewn avenue, and rush towards a nearby hill.

But Cao Jun is still endless, at this time Cao Jun has a person, it is Xun Yu's nephew Xun You, Xun You saw Ma Teng from afar, remembered Cao Cao's words, if you meet Ma Teng, you must kill him. Therefore, Xun You was so kind to Ma Teng, and shouted: "Whoever captures and kills Ma Teng's father and son, he will be rewarded with a hundred taels of money, and the official will be promoted to three levels." ”

Cao's morale immediately soared, and he caught up with the Xiliang army in a desperate battle.

After Ma Tie led the men and horses to break, he blocked the crazy Cao Jun to the death. Ma Xiu covered Ma Teng and rushed up the hill, formed a formation, and called Ma Tie to retreat. Cao Jun was entangled to death, Ma Tie could not retreat, Ma Xiu saw that Ma Tie was in danger, and hurriedly led the army to come to the rescue.

Ma Tie and Ma Xiu brothers have limited talents, although their martial arts are not as good as Ma Chao and Ma Yunlu, but they are also first- and second-rate generals.

Xun You saw that the two of them were brave, and when he gave an order, the bows and crossbows were fired, although the two brothers were brave, how could they block thousands of bows and arrows. Poor Matthew and Ma Tie died under the bow and arrow.

Ma Teng saw the death of his second son on the mountain, and now there were only thirteen or fourteen cavalry left around him, and he looked up to the sky and sighed at the moment: "Brother Zhao Xu, Xuande Gong, avenge us!" Exterminate the Cao thief! Rejuvenation of the Great Han! "Let's talk about killing ourselves. The remaining thirteen horsemen also died under Cao's arrows.
