Everything was ready, just waiting for Li Daojun to enter the ambush circle, and then the Malay report:

"Report to the general, Li Dao's army is still three miles away from the ambush site."

"Got it, keep looking! In addition, he ordered Yan Pu to prepare for an ambush and ambush the enemy's vanguard! Ma Chao began to reorganize the army and adjust the assault formation. Li Dao has 20,000 cavalry, but it is estimated that the real Xiliang cavalry is at most 10,000, and Li Dao himself does not have such a strong strength, you must know that earlier, Ma Teng and Han Sui added up to 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry; With the charm of Li Dao 16, it can't gather 20,000 Xiliang cavalry, and the other 10,000 should be patchwork by miscellaneous troops. In this case, the 10,000 miscellaneous cavalry should be in front, according to Li Wei's character, his elite troops must be behind, which is safer, and if there is any emergency, it will be more able to deal with it in a timely manner.

The soldiers in the ambush of Yanpu could attack up to five or six thousand people at the same time, and cavalry battles were needed after the ambush, so Ma Chao decided to ambush the vanguard of Li Dao's army, disrupting the formation of its vanguard to facilitate Ma Chao's Xiliang iron cavalry to carry out a surprise attack.

Ma Chao used a triangular assault formation, with 800 heavy cavalry as arrows in front and 7,000 elite iron cavalry following closely behind, trying to expand the results; The Archer Brigade and the Ranger Brigade were not good at assault, Ma Chao arranged for them to flank and escort the enemy while killing and wounding the enemy with bows and arrows, and the Archers Brigade and the Ranger Brigade were also the reserves of this battle, and they had to rely on them in case of an emergency. Ma Chao and Ma Tie are at the front of the team, this battle is very important, we must use Ma Chao's strong force to tear open the gap of the enemy, the cavalry in the high-speed assault, the most taboo to stop, and once the cavalry stops, the failure of the assault will be declared. Although Ma Tie is infinitely powerful, his force is far inferior to Ma Chao, and once the assault arrow is blocked, Ma Chao's army will face a tug-of-war. So Ma Chao decided to take the risk himself and use his powerful force to sweep away all the enemies in front of him.

Let's say that the 20,000 cavalry of Li Dao's army, in a long snake formation, are marching towards Yangping Pass; Ma Chao's expectation was good, Li Dao's 20,000 cavalry was indeed composed of 10,000 Xiliang cavalry and 10,000 scattered cavalry rangers, 10,000 scattered cavalry rangers were in front, led by the general Hu Zhen, at this time Li Dao's scouts came to report:

"Report to the marshal, the front is close to Yangping Pass, there is a hillside and a dense forest in the south of the road, and the military advisor reminds the marshal to be careful of Ma Chaojun's ambush!"

Hearing this, Li Dao laughed and said rudely: "Lao Tzu is afraid that he will not dare to come out in Yangping Pass!" When Ben Shuai was crisscrossing Liangzhou, Ma Chao's doll had not yet been born, and we were there at that time, how could Ma Teng Han Sui dare to call the Xiliang cavalry? It's nothing more than a gang of bandits, if Ma Chao dares to come out, Lao Tzu will definitely let him know what the real Xiliang cavalry is! Go back and tell the military advisor, let him rest assured, just arrange the siege, everything is suitable here, don't worry! ”

In fact, the cavalry is indeed not easy to be ambushed, the cavalry is highly mobile, once the situation is not right, it is completely possible to turn the horse around and return the same way, and the ambush soldiers are generally infantry, but can not catch up with the cavalry; The cavalry is only vulnerable to ambushes in the valley, and only need to block the exit and entrance of the valley with large stones to make it impossible for horses to pass, and the cavalry will become a turtle in an urn! The location chosen by Ma Chao is relatively open, and it is impossible to block the front and rear at all, just to disturb the formation of Li Wei's front army, and by the way, cause some casualties, and the real decision is still by cavalry.

Soon, the front army led by Hu Zhen entered the ambush site, and Yan Pu had already taken the lead in attacking, only to see countless arrows falling towards Hu Zhen's army like a downpour, accompanied by a rain of arrows, and dozens of huge rolling stones rushed straight down from the half-slope; After the acceleration of the rolling stone through the ramp, the speed is extremely fast, which can not only break up the formation of Hu Zhen's army, but also will not stay in the middle and affect the assault of the heavy cavalry behind; Hu Zhenjun was in a panic, and the formation was chaotic.

At this time, Ma Chao shouted: "Drum and blow the trumpet, brothers, the time has come to make meritorious contributions, the Eastern Army will attack with me, rush!" ”

I only heard the low military horn sounding, the war drums sounded, and the "Li Feisha" under Ma Chao's seat was the first to rush out like an arrow off the string, followed by 800 heavy cavalry led by Ma Tie, 10,000 horses galloping, and the momentum was like a mountain!

After a short distance of acceleration, Ma Chao had already led the army to rush to Hu Zhenjun, Hu Zhen led only a group of stragglers, how could he see such a formation, only to hear Hu Zhen shout loudly: "Who dares to attack the army of the Son of Heaven?!" ”

Ma Chao responded loudly: "I am Xiliang Jin Ma Chao is also, take your life quickly!" ”

The cavalry assault pays attention to speed and momentum, how can there be time to stop and speak, Ma Chao will naturally not be tricked, his mouth is named, the horse does not stop, it is too late to say that it is fast, I saw Ma Chao rushed to Hu Zhen, a shot stabbed, this shot condenses Ma Chao more than ten years of learning, which is Hu Zhen such a little-known young general can be blocked, Hu Zhen panicked, only had time to block the horizontal gun in front of him, when he came back to his senses, he was picked off the horse by Ma Chao, and was instantly submerged in the steel torrent of the heavy cavalry, trampled into meat paste.

After Ma Chao picked out Hu Zhen, his speed did not decrease, and he continued to assault forward, killing Hu Zhen's army with flesh and blood, losing his armor and abandoning his armor; The main general of Hu Zhen's army is dead, and it is too late for the rest of the soldiers to disperse, how can they stop Ma Chao's heavy cavalry assault, only to see that Ma Chao's subordinates have no generals, and they are all the way forward, and no one can stop them!

As soon as Hu Zhen's army was defeated, the defeated soldiers were eager to grow wings and desperately fled in the direction of Chang'an, but they were afraid that they would be caught up by Ma Chaojun and stabbed to death with one shot!

At this time, Li Dao had already received the news that the front army was attacked, and sighed: "Sure enough, I was said by the military advisor, I didn't expect Ma Chao Xiaoer to really dare to go out to meet the battle, but unfortunately the front army has been defeated, and the defeated army fled to us. Although Li Dao is a little arrogant and self-serving, it is true that he has experienced a hundred battles and is good at using soldiers, and he still has the common sense of cavalry combat. Ma Chao had already defeated the front army and was engulfed by the defeated army, and if Li Dao forcibly assaulted, the formation could only be scattered by the defeated army. Knowing that nothing could be done, the battle had been lost, and Li Dao could only preserve his strength and temporarily retreat, so he ordered the army to turn around and lead 10,000 cavalry from his headquarters to join the infantry battalion of the military division Jia Xu.

Ma Chao was wrapped in victory, and chased and killed the defeated soldiers for more than ten miles before stopping. At this time, the war horses were tired, the main cavalry of Li Dao's army had not yet appeared, and Ma Chao was afraid that there would be an ambush ahead, so he could only be cautious, so he ordered to stop the pursuit and start cleaning the battlefield. This battle has already won a big victory, and the other party and the military advisor Jia Xu are good at scheming, but they can't get carried away.

When Ma Chaojun was cleaning up the battlefield and collecting prisoners, a scout Pegasus came to report:

"Report to the general, my subordinates have just found out: Liu Biaojun of Shangyong City, with Huang Zhong as the general, led more than 10,000 people, is attacking my Hanzhong City, please make a decision!"

"What, Huang Zhong is coming? Isn't Huang Zhong in Changsha, why did he come to Shangyong City and attack my Hanzhong?! "Ma Chao is in a mess.
