The candidate and Cheng Yin then discussed whether to send troops to attack Ma Chao, Cheng Yin was a little bolder, so he persuaded the candidate to let him go to attack the camp.

The candidate values military power very much, but he values his own life even more. After thinking about it, the candidate decided to allocate 5,000 people to Cheng Yin, plus 10,000 people under Cheng Yin's own command, this time in order to attack the camp, Cheng Yin was considered to have exhausted his hole cards.

At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, Cheng Yin personally rushed to Ma Chao's camp with 15,000 men and horses, Ma Chao had just discussed with the Qiang people today, and some of the Qiang people left at night, and some stayed in the camp.

For the safety of the camp, Ma Chao ordered his cousin Ma Dai to strengthen his vigilance. It was precisely because of this decision that Cheng Yin's attack on the camp was discovered at the beginning! Ma Chao drank a lot of wine tonight, and he was woken up by the guards shortly after he fell asleep, shaking his dizzy head, Ma Chao asked, "What happened?" ”

"The general has attacked the camp!" A quick report from the guard.

When Ma Chao heard this, he suddenly woke up most of the time, and he got up and said, "Raise a gun for me and prepare a horse!" As he spoke, he climbed into his boots and walked out of the tent. When he came to the outside of the tent, his own guards prepared the horse for him, and Ma Chaofei rushed to the gate of the camp with a big gun on his horse, and heard the sound of killing all the way.

When he was far away, he saw that Ma Dai was fighting with a person, and by the light of the fire, he saw that this person was Cheng Yin, the general under the old thief of Han Sui. At this time, most of the men and horses brought by Cheng Yin rushed into the camp and fought with the Qi soldiers.

The Qi soldiers hurriedly responded to the battle and were defeated and retreated, and half of the front battalion had been captured by Cheng Yin. At this time, Ma Dai saw that there were fewer and fewer soldiers around him, and he didn't care about being entangled with Cheng Yin, so he fought and retreated. Cheng Yin was overjoyed when he saw that his side had taken the advantage, shook the mace in his hand, and desperately ran to Ma Dai's head to greet him.

At this moment, Ma Chao arrived. This horse rode alone, killed the rebels who blocked him, and suddenly appeared in front of Cheng Yin. Cheng Yin was shocked when he saw Ma Chao coming, he didn't care about fighting Ma Dai anymore, and hurriedly commanded the people to stop Ma Chao and prevent him from approaching him.

With Cheng Yin's order, more than a dozen people rushed out behind him, each with a weapon and rushed to Ma Chao to kill him. Ma Chao sneered, urging the war horse to rush towards these people. The big gun in his hand shook, and several spear flowers turned out, and the dozen or so people who rushed over died in an instant.

The rest of the people were all chilling in their hearts, but they couldn't retreat at this time. So these people gritted their teeth and rushed to Ma Chao with their weapons. Ma Chao made a move, but he didn't see him collect the gun, and the big gun opened and blocked all the weapons handed to him.

Then he stabbed the two closest to him with a single shot in the wrist. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the people who rushed up were dead, and the remaining few were so frightened that they turned around and fled. Ma Chao didn't chase after them, but stabbed straight at Cheng Yin with a big gun.

Cheng Yin was ready to flee from the moment Ma Chao appeared, but he didn't expect more than a dozen people to besiege Ma Chao and defeat so quickly, so fast that he didn't even have a chance to escape! At this time, Cheng Yin's heart was broken, but in the face of the big gun stabbed in the chest, he could only wave his mace to block.

When there was a sound, Ma Chao's big gun was lit on the mace. Cheng Yin, who was shocked by the huge power, almost gave up, and Cheng Yin knew in one move that Ma Chao was still that Ma Chao, and he was his opponent at all.

I didn't think about it, Cheng Yin missed Ma Chao's big gun with a backhand, and then turned the horse's head and was about to escape! Ma Dai on the side had already been staring at him, and seeing that he was about to escape, he went up and blocked Cheng Yin's way with a shot.

At this time, Cheng Yin can be said to have no way to enter the heavens and no way to enter the earth, he roared and desperately waved his mace to force Ma Dai who was blocking him to retreat, so as to gain a glimmer of life. But Ma Dai was also desperate at the moment, desperately injured and took Cheng Yin's three blows, after the three blows, Ma Chao had killed Cheng Yin's six personal guards, and then the big gun stabbed directly into Cheng Yin's heart.

As the tip of the spear was exposed in his chest, Cheng Yin only felt that the strength of his whole body was withdrawn. The mace in his hand could no longer be held, and then fell to the ground on the side. opened his mouth, blood poured out of his mouth, and the general Cheng Yin laughed miserably and was picked off by Ma Chao and fell under the horse. With Cheng Yin's death, the men and horses he brought out scattered and fled, most of them were captured by the Qi army, and only a small part ran back to Wuwei City.

After the candidate learned that Cheng Yin was shot to death by Ma Chao, he was even more scared, so he was anxious to discuss countermeasures with his young generals overnight. One of his men was Cui Dan, a down-and-out scribe who had not read a few books, but who was the most learned in the queue of candidates. Therefore, he was considered a counselor by the candidates, and he was dedicated to advising him.

At this time, seeing the candidate's inquiry, Cui Dan's eyes rolled and said: "The general can't defend this city anymore, rather than die in the city, it's better to leave as soon as possible." As long as we can escape back to Jincheng, then we can join forces with the generals under the command of the lord, and then we will fight to the death with Ma Chao! ”

When the candidate heard this, he immediately nodded and said: "You are right, but now how can I escape from this place, this Ma Chao is stationed outside the city, and he will not be caught by him as soon as he goes out of the city?" ”

"General, no matter how powerful Ma Chao is, isn't there only one person? We can send people to split into several teams and scatter in all directions, and then he Ma Chao will not know which team the general is in! Cui Dan said with a smile.

The candidate's eyes lit up when he heard this, but he immediately frowned and said, "If that's the case, how many soldiers and horses can I have under my command?" If you run back like this, I'm afraid that you will be oppressed by others! ”

Cui Dan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this: "Let's talk about the general's future later!" For now, let's get out first! ”

After hearing this, the candidate nodded, and then he arranged for more than a dozen young generals under his command to lead a group of people. After the city was opened, they scattered and fled, took them out of the city to attract Ma Chao, and then fled out of the city with the rest of the men and horses.

The plan is set up well, but the candidate ignores the hearts of the people! Knowing that he would definitely die if he was caught up, there were two young generals, Li Ming and Zhang Liang, who discussed it, and it was better to surrender directly before the battle.

As a result, early the next morning, the candidates sent fourteen teams of 1,000 people to flee in all directions, and Ma Chao was really fooled, and immediately divided his troops to intercept his subordinates.

At this time, the candidate took the opportunity to take the remaining 3,000 men and horses out of the city directly and went straight to the direction of Jincheng. As a result, after walking for more than 20 miles, a group of people and horses rushed over behind him, led by a lion helmet and beast belt, dressed in white armor, who is not Ma Chao.

It turned out that it was Li Ming and Zhang Liang who revealed the plan of the candidates, which made Ma Chao find the position of the candidates, so he led people to catch up.
