Ordinary people can get their own land, for the people is absolutely unexpected, these years, they can only rely on the family as tenant farmers, barely to make a living, this time into the war, the people in the hands of the people do not have too much surplus food, if the war lasts, the first can not support the people in the city must be the people.

Not to mention the excitement of the people after getting the news, and said that Ma Chao led the soldiers to leave Xiafen, his expression was full of anger, the situation in Xiafen was not so bad for the defenders, and it was precisely because of the rebellion of the family in the city that he had to leave Xiafen gloomily.

There was a large amount of grain and grass hoarded in the city, and the defeat was too sudden, so that Ma Chao didn't have time to burn the grain and grass, and the baggage was even cheaper for Lu Bu.

"General, although Xia Zhi has been lost, Longxi has an army of five thousand, which is enough to resist Lu Bu." Ma Dai persuaded.

Ma Chao said: "The general is angry that the families in the city actually obeyed Lu Bu's provocation, and after Lu Bu entered the city, these families were the first to be unlucky. ”

After counting the soldiers and horses, Ma Chao's face became even more gloomy, and the two thousand cavalry who followed him to Wudu are now only more than a thousand people left, and his expression is even more panicked, plus the defenders who escaped from the city, there are only more than 3,000 people under Ma Chao's command at this time.

The original defenders in Wudu City naturally had no sense of belonging to Ma Chao, and after following Ma Chao out of the city, deserters continued to appear in the army, even though there were Ma Chao's strict orders, but the effect was not satisfactory.

"In the coming days, Lu Bu will inevitably pay a heavy price." Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said, his handsome face also became iron-blue.

As soon as the words fell, the sound of a war horse galloping was heard on the left.

Ma Dai's face changed greatly, "General, retreat quickly, I'm afraid it's the enemy's cavalry." ”

Ma Chao immediately ordered the defenders in the city to resist the cavalry, and led the Xiliang Iron Cavalry to retreat without hesitation, the army of Wudu was already a little flustered, even after following him to Longxi, it was difficult to do anything, I am afraid that before he arrived in Longxi, he had already fled, rather than taking these people to Longxi, it was better to let these armies play the last role.

Li Yan led 500 flying cavalry to kill, and easily defeated the army of Wudu, and more soldiers chose to surrender at this time, Ma Chao had already led the cavalry away from them, so that they could not see the hope of victory, and some soldiers scattered and fled.

After leaving a hundred cavalry to collect these surrendered soldiers, Li Yan led the flying cavalry to kill in the direction of Ma Chao's retreat.

Ma Chao, who led the cavalry away, got the news that the flying cavalry was chasing and killing, and frowned, the flying cavalry dared to be so rampant with only a few hundred people, and he didn't mind teaching the flying cavalry a lesson.

After Li Yan led the flying cavalry to chase after him, he saw the Xiliang Iron Cavalry waiting for him, and immediately raised his vigilance, the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was not weak.

With a wave of the spear in Ma Chao's hand, the five hundred cavalry behind him rushed towards the flying horse.

The flying cavalry showed the scimitar in his hand and fought with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, and just when the two sides were inseparable, Ma Dai led more than 500 cavalry to kill from the left side

Caught off guard, the formation of the flying cavalry was in chaos, not only to face the attack from Ma Chao, but also to guard against Ma Dai, for a while, the situation on the battlefield was extremely unfavorable for the flying cavalry.

"Withdraw!" Li Yan did not hesitate to give the order to retreat, and after leading more than 100 flying horsemen to break off in person, Li Yan looked at Ma Chao with a look of solemnity, and in such a situation, he dared to fight back against the flying horses, Ma Chao was indeed a fierce general of the Xiliang Army.

Seeing the flying cavalry retreating, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry erupted into bursts of shouts.

Ma Chao hurriedly ordered the cavalry under his command to clean up the battlefield, and rewarded the scimitar to the cavalry who had meritorious combat skills, this was the first time that the Xiliang Iron Cavalry cleaned the battlefield when facing the flying cavalry.

Although he is not very good at the use of scimitars, he is still sought after by the generals in the army, for such a situation, Ma Chao is also a little helpless, who let the cavalry under Lu Bu use such a sophisticated blade, which is also the most terrifying place in the Bingzhou army, the elite cavalry is equipped with blades made of steel, looking at the princes of the world, no one has such courage, for the cavalry under Lu Bu, Ma Chao is even a little jealous.

Of course, what made the cavalry under the command of the other princes the most unbalanced was that the soldiers of the state army were paid.

Although he won a small victory against the flying cavalry, Ma Chao's mood was a little low, the reason why the flying cavalry retreated was because he was caught off guard, if he fought with these cavalry head-on, even if it was an elite Xiliang cavalry, he would still suffer a lot of losses, and once he was entangled with the flying cavalry, it would mean that he would face more pursuers.

Especially when the flying horse retreated, it was very orderly, so that he couldn't have the idea of pursuing.

After the battle, Ma Chao's cavalry was less than a thousand, as for the soldiers who followed out of the city, they were all lost, and when they came, two thousand Xiliang iron cavalry, Ma Chao also had a strong confidence in holding the lower division, but he didn't expect to lose the lower division so quickly.

In this way, the situation is even more unfavorable for Ma Teng, and the general Wudu, Ma Teng has not occupied Longxi for a long time, lacks enough influence in Longxi, and only relies on the 5,000 army in Longxi, Ma Chao does not have much chance of winning.

Ma Chao was defeated in Wudu, and led the cavalry to Longxi, and Ma Teng, who was in Hanyang, was also under great pressure, and Han Sui sent 15,000 troops, plus 6,000 soldiers and horses from Anding County, which was more than the Chang'an army in terms of numbers.

Hanyang, as the foundation of Ma Teng, is definitely not comparable to Wudu, but Ma Teng gathered the defenders from all over the country in Ji County before Han Sui and Zhao Yang led the troops into Hanyang.

In the cities along the way, Han Sui and Zhao Yang's soldiers and horses will naturally not give up, and will definitely arrange defenders, which can divide the enemy's strength to a certain extent.

Ma Teng has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and when the princes fought against Dong Zhuo, he was one of the princes, and his experience on the battlefield was naturally extremely rich.

Although there are many enemy troops outside the city, Ma Teng is confident enough to hold Ji County, if the enemy army is difficult to break through Ji County and retreat, Ma Teng will naturally be able to recapture the city occupied by the two sides.

The Hanyang family was supportive of Ma Teng, otherwise, when Han Sui occupied Hanyang, Ma Teng would not have been able to retake Hanyang from Han Sui's hands so quickly.
