But in the face of elite enemy scouts, Ma Chao did not dare to easily send scouts to the battlefield, there were not many Xiliang iron cavalry under his command, if there was a serious loss on the battlefield, after staying in Di Dao, he would be more passive in the face of the enemy.

As long as he resisted the enemy army for ten days, Ma Chao would retreat from Yan County and face Lu Bu at Didao.

Ma Chao also took into account the situation that the enemy army would raid Di Dao, at this time Di Dao's position was significant, Ma Chao sent Ma to play to guard Di Dao, Ma Wan's character was still relatively cautious, and Di Dao City has two thousand troops, if it is dealt with properly, the enemy army is difficult to do, as for the enemy army sent a large number of troops to raid Di Dao, Ma Chao is also not afraid, once the number of enemy troops outside the city is greatly reduced, he will choose to shoot.

There are a large number of enemy troops, only need to cut off the enemy's grain and grass, so that the enemy can not take care of each other, the status of grain and grass in an army can be imagined, grain and grass appear poor, even if Lu Bu has the ability to reach the sky, but can only retreat from Longxi.

Longxi and Yizhou are close, Ma Chao plans to repel the enemy, and then unite with Liu Zhang of Yizhou, Liu Zhang is no matter how stupid he is, after seeing the situation in Liangzhou and Chang'an, he will also deal with it.

Two days later, the moat was filled for the coalition forces outside the city, and Ma Chao, who had always observed the number of enemy troops outside the city, saw that it had not decreased too much, and secretly relieved himself.

It is said that Zhao Yun led the cavalry to go out day and night, and three days later came to a dense forest outside Di Dao City, in order to ensure the success of the sneak attack on Di Dao, he personally pretended to be ordinary people to investigate the news in the city.

Although the war in Yanxian County affected Di Dao to a certain extent, there were still many people and merchants coming and going at the city gate.

Zhao Yun glanced at the city in front of him, and a solemn look flashed in his expression, the defenders of the city were still relatively rigorous, and the soldiers at the city gate organized the people and merchants to enter and exit the city in an orderly manner.

"What is the matter with going to the city?" After the soldiers guarding the city gate saw Zhao Yun, they stepped forward and asked.

Zhao Yun's appearance is extraordinary, and this soldier is sure that he has not seen Zhao Yun in the recent past.

"General, I am a native of Shouyang County, and I heard that the enemy army is attacking Yan County, so I went to the city to seek refuge with relatives and friends, and I hope that the general can be accommodating." Zhao Yundao.

The soldier nodded, the war in Yanxian County had a great impact on the entire Longxi, and many of the people in other cities rushed to Didao for refuge.

"I wonder who you are in the city?" The soldier asked.

However, as soon as the soldier's words fell, there was no follow-up, and he felt the heavy weight in his hand, and his face suddenly showed joy.

"I see that you are not a vicious person, after arriving in the city, do not move around at will, and at night, you can't go out, otherwise, you will be killed directly as a fine work." The soldiers defending the city obviously did not do such things in ordinary times.

Zhao Yun arched his hand and said, "Thank you for telling the general." ”

After entering the city, Zhao Yun could clearly feel the panic on the expressions of the people walking on the street, although he was walking around the street, Lu Bu was always paying attention to the direction of the city wall.

The war in Yanxian County made many people rush to Didao, and they did not seem abrupt in the crowd.

The defenders on the city wall seemed to be well-defended, but in Zhao Yun's opinion, it could be seen from the occasional movements of these soldiers that the reason why they maintained such a posture was because of strict orders, and the soldiers on the city wall looked back at the people in the city from time to time, and the armor worn by the soldiers also looked a little tattered.

After having a plan in his heart, Zhao Yun quietly left the city.

The next day, the city gate of Di Dao was still open as usual, because the city gate had just been opened, and soon there was congestion at the city gate, and the people who were anxious to go out of the city and those who were anxious to enter the city seemed a little bustling for a while, and the soldiers at the city gate were obviously accustomed to this situation, and did not scold, and from time to time embarrassed the merchants and people who passed by, and got some specific benefits.

The soldiers are extremely hard, they have no military pay to take, when the war starts, they are the ones who charge at the forefront, and the meals in the army will not be like the army under Lu Bu to maintain three meals a day, it can only be said that they can barely fill their stomachs, in this case, how they will implement the strict orders above, you can imagine.

In the eyes of the defenders in the city, the most comfortable thing is to guard the city gate, and at the end of the day, the benefits are enough for them to have a chic time in the restaurant in the city.

After Zhao Yun got the news from the city gate, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and with an order, the flying horse charged towards Di Dao.

The horse play guarding Di Dao is undoubtedly cautious, but the cavalry under his command is insufficient, and he cannot understand the situation outside the city in time, although there is a reminder from Ma Chao, Ma Play does not think that the enemy will appear in Di Dao at this time.

Of course, the horse play has extremely strict requirements for the defenders in the city, and once the city wall is found to be unscrupulous, the soldiers are killed on the spot.

The characteristic sound of the cavalry charging alarmed the defenders of the city.

A general's face changed drastically and shouted: "It's cavalry, close the city gate quickly!" ”

However, at this time, the city gate was in a state of congestion, and the cavalry was coming, which added a trace of panic, and the people and merchants who went out of the city ran towards the city gate at a very fast speed.

The soldiers guarding the city gate drew their swords and killed several civilians one after another, but they still couldn't stop the panic at the city gate, and their faces suddenly turned pale.

With the speed of the cavalry, they quickly approached the city gates, and the defenders did not even have time to close the drawbridge.

"It's a flying horse!" When a general saw the banner of this cavalry, he said in horror.

When the soldiers in the city heard this, their faces were afraid, and they had heard of the prestige of the flying horse.

"Kill!" Zhao Yun took the lead and slaughtered towards the city gate.

In the face of the ordinary people, the flying cavalry did not spare the slightest hand, they knew that this was a contest with the defenders, although the ordinary people caused chaos at the city gate to a great extent, if the people were allowed to go down like this, it would be difficult for them to attack the city, after all, there were two thousand defenders in the city, once they reacted, it was not easy to break through the city.

When Ma Wan heard the news from the west of the city, his face changed greatly, he didn't expect that there would really be an enemy army to raid Di Dao at this time.

"Sergeant of the herald army, rush to the west of the city, and be sure to drive the enemy out of the city!" Ma Yu immediately ordered.

The army in the city had not stopped training since the arrival of Ma Dai, and this situation made many soldiers complain, but they knew that they could not compete with the horses, and could only obey the orders.
