This effect is also within Ma Chao's expectations, when Ma Chao relied on his martial arts to break through a great prestige among the Qiang people, whether it is the Qiang people or the Han army, for the martial arts of the strong generals, there will be admiration.

Ma Chao could foresee that once the army of Chang'an was defeated, his prestige in Wudu, Longxi and Hanyang would be unmatched, which would play an extremely important role in the stability of his rule.

"General, the combat effectiveness of the Chang'an Army should not be underestimated, and Tai Shici is extremely brave, how can there be no defense against our army?" Zhang Heng said.

Ma Chao squinted and looked at Zhang Heng for a moment, Zhang Heng was originally the chief general in the Wudu County Army, after Ma Chao arrived in Wudu, the military power in his hands naturally could not be kept, as for what kind of thoughts Zhang Heng had about him, it was not something that Ma Chao had to consider, what he had to do was to achieve victory and wash away the shame of the day.

"General Zhang doesn't think that our army should stay in the city and wait for Lu Bu to lead the army to arrive? As a warrior in the Liangzhou army, no matter what kind of enemy he faces, he must have a high fighting spirit. Ma Chao asked in a deep voice.

Zhang Heng said without humility or arrogance: "Our army has the advantage of the city, if the general gives up the benefit of the city and turns out of the city to attack the enemy's camp, it is gratifying after the victory, but if it fails, it will be a great blow to the morale of the army." ”

Zhang Heng's prestige in the Wudu army is not low, after hearing Zhang Heng's words, many generals also echoed it, after all, it is necessary to take a lot of risks to fight, the enemy army is large, and it is the best policy to stick to the city.

Ma Chao snorted coldly: "When General Ben goes to battle, he only needs the thousand cavalry that follows him, and there is no need to wait for the battle." ”

Seeing that Ma Chao had made up his mind, Zhang Heng sighed secretly in his heart, in all fairness, his words were really for the sake of Wudu's benefit, but in Ma Chao's eyes, it became his move to compete with Ma Chao for military power.

In the middle of the night, the gate of Hechi, which had been closed for several days, slowly opened, and a group of cavalry disappeared not far away in the night.

Since the battle that day, Tai Shi Ci strictly ordered the generals in the army to defend the camp with their hearts, but most of the soldiers in the army are new recruits, although they have experienced the battle with the thieves, but they have not been able to truly appreciate the cruelty of the real battlefield, after the soldiers who acted as secret posts were pulled out one after another, the camp of the Chang'an army was displayed in front of Ma Chao.

With a wave of the tiger's head Zhan's golden spear, thousands of cavalry headed towards the camp of the Chang'an army, and the soldiers above the camp just rang the gong in their hands, but they were shot by a dense number of arrows.

Opening the gate of the village, Ma Chao took the lead in the camp of the Chang'an army, and the first thing that the cavalry followed was to light the tent in the camp, in such a late night, the lit tent can stimulate the fear in the hearts of the soldiers to the greatest extent, so that the soldiers in the army become panicked, so that even if the soldiers under Tai Shici are elite, it is difficult to win.

A panicked army in the middle of the night is absolutely fatal to an army, and if not handled properly, it is very likely to cause the entire army to be defeated.

To Ma Chao's surprise, after the tents were lit, the expected screams were not heard, and even the Chang'an army was too quiet.

"Not good!" An ominous premonition came to his heart, Ma Chao suddenly realized that the sneak attack on the camp of the Chang'an army was too smooth, and when he chose to go out of the city to sneak attack, Ma Chao did not deliberately cover up the traces of the cavalry, and except for some secret posts along the way, it did not cause the Chang'an army to discover.

"Kill!" Tai Shi Ci led three hundred Burning Sun Archers to kill from the left side of the Ma Chao Army, although there were only three hundred Burning Sun Archers, in such a late night, the momentum of the charge was still extremely spectacular, when the princes' alliance army attacked the state, the Burning Sun Archers had already proved that they were absolute elite with their strong combat effectiveness.

Ma Chao was shocked, he was naturally no stranger to the Burning Sun Bow Cavalry, although he had not fought with the Burning Sun Bow Cavalry in the real sense of the battlefield, the Burning Sun Archer had a great reputation among the princes.

"Kill!" Ma Chao did not hesitate to lead the cavalry to kill, although the situation at this time was a little bad for him, but the vanguard of the Chang'an army is only 5,000 people, but his own cavalry is a thousand people, there is no chance of victory, the role of thousands of cavalry on the battlefield can not be ignored, from the information obtained, the cavalry in the Chang'an army this time is only a few hundred, as long as the cavalry of Tai Shici is blocked, the rest of the things are much simpler.

Just when Ma Chao led the cavalry to fight with Tai Shici, bursts of shouts and killings suddenly sounded on the right side of the camp, and thousands of foot soldiers killed in the direction of Ma Chao, although their expressions could not hide their fear, but their steps were still firm.

There are also a large number of vanguard soldiers in the rear, even if the cavalry that followed Ma Chao to fight is elite, the situation on the battlefield has changed suddenly, and it is inevitable that there will be some panic, and this is in the middle of the night, Ma Chao wants to use the advantage of the late night to defeat the Chang'an army, and the dark night also brings fear to the cavalry under Ma Chao's command.

How strong is the combat effectiveness of the Lieyang Archer, although the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under the command of Ma Chao is also elite, after the two fought in one place, the Lieyang Archer, who was inferior in the number of cavalry, showed a strong battle, lacking the protection of cumbersome armor, they were more flexible on the horse, and the scimitar in their hands kept harvesting the lives of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.

The Burning Sun Archers use scimitars made of 100 steel, which has caused trouble to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to a great extent, and the armor on their bodies is difficult to effectively protect from the scimitar chopping, and the most helpless thing for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is that their enemies' movements on the war horses are extremely flexible, and the skillful movements are difficult to compare even if they are the self-proclaimed Xiliang Iron Cavalry who are skilled in archers.

Seeing that the situation on the field was unfavorable to his side, Ma Chao led the cavalry to fight for a while, broke through the defense line of the Chang'an army, and headed towards the city.

Gathered the soldiers and horses, counted the losses, Tai Shi Ci's expression was not relaxed, although his own soldiers successfully resisted the threat from Ma Chao, but it made Tai Shi Ci see more problems in the army, first of all, on the issue of the secret post.

The reason why Tai Shi Ci was able to know the movements of the army in the city and responded in advance was because of the flying eagle soldiers on the battlefield.

Ma Chao's surprise attack was absolutely fatal to the Chang'an army, and he could even imagine what the army would have been like at this time if it weren't for the Flying Eagle soldiers, but it was still unexpected that the hasty arrangement could achieve such an effect.
