Chapter Twenty-Five: Huang Zhong Has Crossed Over?

Huang Zhong is a fierce general, Ma Chao remembers that Huang Zhong's famous battle in history was to attack Hanzhong, when Huang Zhong killed Xiahou Yuan in Dingjun Mountain, thus capturing Hanzhong and becoming famous all over the world! Huang Zhong was also named the General of the Five Tigers by Liu Bei along with Ma Chao because of his exploits in the Battle of Hanzhong.

But that was in 219 AD, and now it is only 196 AD, why did Huang Zhong come to attack Hanzhong, could it be that Huang Zhong also crossed over?

Ma Chao was a little panicked, according to the data of the Three Kingdoms 11, Huang Zhong is a military general with a force of 93, Ma Chao's force is 95, the two are only two points apart, and Huang Zhong also has a superb "back to the horse bow", Ma Chao alone Huang Zhong may not be able to win steadily, and once he loses, he may die under the "back horse bow", and finally crossed to the Three Kingdoms, is waiting to show his ambitions, if he dies in the hands of Huang Zhong, he will not die unjustly!

Huang Zhong is undoubtedly the strongest general Ma Chao has encountered after crossing over, and Ma Chao must be careful when life and death are at stake. And in order to ambush Li Dao's army, the Hanzhong army almost poured out, which happened to be the time when Hanzhong City was empty, Huang Zhong deserved to be a famous general, and the timing of the choice made people have nothing to say; Ma Chao was depressed to death, this will just ambush Hu Zhen's army, and he hasn't had time to clean up the battlefield and reap the fruits of victory, Huang Zhong is really good at this time, but there is no way, Ma Chao must return to Hanzhong as soon as possible, or once Hanzhong City is captured by Huang Zhong, Ma Chaoke will be homeless, and the military base that was built up with great difficulty will also be gone!

Didn't you say that a good Liu Biao has no ambitions and generally doesn't take the initiative to attack others? Could it be that Huang Zhong really crossed over and took it upon himself to attack Hanzhong?

Putting aside these distracting thoughts, since Huang Zhong has already called, there is no point in tracing back to the source, Ma Chao must make a decision quickly, time waits for no one! Hu Zhenjun is a "chicken rib", the quality of the soldiers is poor, the food is tasteless, and it is a pity to go, but this will have to give up! After all, Hanzhong City is the foundation of Ma Chao, so Ma Chao decisively decided to give up cleaning the battlefield, collect prisoners, and the main cavalry of the Eastern Army rushed back to help Hanzhong.

Ma Chao can't leave yet, he has to stay and break the queen, after all, although Li Dao's army is defeated, the main force still exists, and Ma Chao hasn't even seen Li Dao's face yet! This will Ma Chaojun don't even want prisoners, withdraw the army quickly, Li Dao will inevitably come to pursue, if Ma Chao returns to Hanzhong, what can Yan Pu and their infantry do? So Ma Chaoji came to his heart and decided to learn Zhuge Liang to play an "empty city plan", so he ordered Ma Xiu to lead the Ranger Brigade and the 5,000 main iron cavalry of the Eastern Army to rush to the aid of Hanzhong. After Ma Chao led the heavy cavalry brigade, the archery cavalry brigade and the 2000 iron cavalry of the Eastern Army, Yan Pu's 5,000 sergeants left 1,000 as "suspicious soldiers", and the rest quickly withdrew to Hanzhong.

Sure enough, when Li Wei heard that after Ma Chao hastily withdrew his troops, how could he give up this good opportunity to pursue, so he planned to personally lead troops to chase, at this time the military advisor Jia Xu said:

"The marshal can't be pursued at this time, if the Hu Zhen army was not defeated before, our army's morale is high and its combat power is at its peak, so it will naturally be able to compete with Ma Chaojun! But Hu Zhen's army is newly defeated, the defeated army has rushed the main cavalry of our army to the soldiers, at this time our army's combat power has been five out of ten, and Ma Chao's morale is strong after the victory, and Ma Chao is the son of Xiliang, strong martial arts, I expect that Ma Chao will personally stay after the break, and the marshal will be defeated by Ma Chao at this time in pursuit! ”

"The military advisor's words are bad, An can increase the morale of others and destroy his own prestige" Li Wei's self-righteous character is undoubtedly exposed, how can he listen to Jia Xu's advice, and when he heard Jia Xu say that he couldn't beat Ma Chao, he suddenly became anxious and said: "Ma Chao is a stinky child, even if our army's combat strength is not five out of ten, this commander is also confident that I will defeat Ma Chao's army with my Xiliang cavalry, and I will sacrifice Ma Chao's head in front of the military division!" The military advisor waited for good news in the camp, and the commander went back as soon as he went. So he gathered 10,000 main cavalry and began to pursue Ma Chao's army. Jia Xu could only sigh secretly: "Li Wei can't listen to his opinions, won't he listen to his loyal words and defend?" Li Dao is not the master! ”

Ma Chao ordered the sergeant to collect arrows, crossbows, and rolling stones to set up an ambush again in the place where Hu Zhen's army had just been ambushed, and then Ma Tie came up and asked:

"Big brother, didn't you ambush Hu Zhen here just now? It's only been a few hours, and he is ambushing in the same place, is Li Dao so stupid that he will fall for the same fool? ”

"You don't understand this, what is the art of war? Virtual, real, and real! There is a cloud in the art of war: 'soldiers are not tired of deceit', Li Dao's army was ambushed here just now, so naturally he would not have thought that our army was still ambushing here, and our army couldn't even take care of the prisoners, and hurriedly retreated, Li Dao even less imagined that our army would set up an ambush. Ma Tie, you can't just practice martial arts, you have to read the art of war when you have time, only if you can be a general in both civil and military affairs, you can have the ability to take charge of yourself! ”

"I don't like to read, I have a headache when I see those words, our family has a big brother in charge alone, the younger brother is willing to be the pioneer of the big brother for the rest of his life, I like the feeling of cavalry assault, it's so cool and enjoyable!"

"Alas, I really can't do anything about you kid!"

Yan Pu has withdrawn 4,000 sergeants, leaving only 1,000 ambush soldiers, and the 10,000 Xiliang elite soldiers to deal with Li Dao are obviously not enough, so Ma Chao arranged for the archery cavalry brigade to also respond on the side, and at the beginning of the ambush, attack Li Dao's army with a large number of bows and arrows to expand the momentum. Ma Chao himself led the heavy cavalry brigade and the 2,000 main iron cavalry to rest and prepare for another assault.

Not long after Ma Chao made arrangements, Li Dao personally led troops to chase after him.

When I passed by the ambush site, I saw several huge stones rolling down the hillside, and the sound of killing on the hill shook the sky, and countless arrows were shot head-on! At this time, the horn of Ma Chao's army to charge sounded, the war drums sounded, Ma Chao led the heavy cavalry in front, and 2000 Xiliang Iron rode behind, rushing towards Li Wei's army in an assault formation.

Ma Chao shouted: "Li Daofu, you have fallen for our military division's plan, Ma Chao has been waiting for a long time!" "Ma Chao is a crossing man, naturally he knows the famous sayings in Romance, this sentence often appears in the mouths of Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others, of course, the military advisor they are talking about is Zhuge Liang, I don't know how many famous generals of Cao Wei have been frightened by this sentence! And the military advisor that Ma Chao said was of course Du Su came out to scare Li Dao, but the effect was really good, and Li Dao was indeed frightened.

Li Weijun had just experienced a defeated battle, how could he stand such a fright, seeing Ma Chao rushing with a gun, how dare he fight Ma Chao alone in a hurry, so he avoided his edge and let Ma Chao assault over.

After all, Li Weijun is an elite soldier of Xiliang, experienced in a hundred battles, although he was ambushed, the formation was not chaotic, but it was inevitable to fall into the downwind; After Ma Chao chiseled through Li Dao's army, he turned his horse around again, and took advantage of the unstable Li Dao's army to lead the cavalry to assault again.

And Li Dao could only watch Ma Chaojun chisel through his elite soldiers twice, knowing that the general trend had gone, and it would be difficult to win this battle, so he led his troops to retreat again!
