Under the close pursuit of the Shu army, the Wei army fled and surrendered. There were only a few dozen horses left around Zhang, who gave up his life to flee in the direction of Chen Cang.

The Shu army lined up a long line of more than 100 miles along Chencang Road, rushing to Chencang.

Zhang ran all night, all the way to the front of the pass, and when he turned around and saw that Wei Yan and his party were still following behind him, he hurriedly shouted at the gate, telling them to open the gate immediately and resist the enemy by danger.

The general who guarded the pass recognized it as Zhang, and laughed: "It turned out to be Zhang, you are finally here, we are waiting for you." ”

Zhang looked at it and felt familiar, but after all, it was far away, and now he was anxious, and he couldn't remember who it was for a while, so he just urged: "You open the door quickly, the enemy is chasing after you!" ”

The guard hurriedly responded: "Okay, you wait, I'll open the door immediately." Then he waved his hand and shouted behind the closed battlement: "Open...... Shoot! ”

After the battlement, a large number of crossbowmen suddenly appeared, and they had already pulled the full strings, and they raised their hands to shoot at the bottom.

The Wei army obviously looked at the people above who were wearing their own military uniforms, and they had arrived at the rear of Sanguan, and they heard that the guards on the gate were still close to Zhang Tao, where did they expect that the people would suddenly attack the killers, and they were all caught off guard, and they all fell to the ground with arrows.

Zhang was hit by several arrows and fell off the horse, but he still didn't understand why he wanted to kill this guard who he looked familiar with him like this, and tried his best to stand up, stretched out his right hand towards Guanshang, opened his five fingers, moved his upper and lower lips, and asked the man to give him an explanation.

The guard laughed and explained loudly to Zhang: "Zhang, you didn't recognize me?" I, I, I am, I'm Ma Dai! Why did you forget about me so quickly? Then with a wave of his hand, the door was closed, and dozens of Shu soldiers came out and tied up all the people in Zhang and his party who had not been shot to death.

Zhang is not dead yet, he is very unwilling, he can't understand, how can the enemy come forward in Sanguan, there are Cao Zhen and Sima Yi's army in Longyou to entangle the enemy, and Guo Huai in Chencang is staying behind to answer all roads, is it possible that they are all dead?

Then, the hand he stretched out towards the closure hung down weakly, and his eyelids were half-closed, and before he could close them all, he was full of reluctance.

Wei Yan led more than a hundred horsemen, panting and rushing to the pass, seeing that Zhang was already dead, he was very unwilling, panting and scolding: "You said that you, you ran so far to get these arrows, why don't you just be caught obediently at that time, and you can still leave a life." ”

Really, I chased so hard, but you gave the credit to others.

Ma Dai came down from the gate, hugged his fist at Wei Yan and smiled: "The general still arrived on time, I'm still worried." "While looking behind me, why do you only see this army of more than 100 horsemen?

"Don't look at it!" Wei Yan shook his head and said, "The army, it will be several days at night to arrive." We people followed Zhang on horseback and chased after him overnight. W-When did you arrive? ”

Ma Dai replied: "Last night, while the enemy was completely defenseless, he rushed to the pass in one breath and took this place. ”

It turned out that a few days ago, after Ma Chao and Ma Dai defeated Xiahou Ba by the Changli River, they immediately led all the cavalry, crossed the Changli River, copied the country roads, got rid of Sima Yi's army, and rushed to the street pavilion overnight.

The 2,000 defenders of the street pavilion suddenly encountered the super army of horses, and they did not dare to block the road at all, so they could only hide in the city and defend themselves.

Ma Chao and Ma Dai did not attack the city, but let the sergeants shout under the city, saying that Sima Yi and Cao Zhen had all the troops gone, and persuaded them to flee back to the Central Plains quickly, and then immediately crossed Longshan like a lightning speed, entered Guanzhong, and went all the way down the river to the east.

When they arrived at the county, they only circled around the county seat, continued to move forward, and then circled around the county seat of Elk, spreading the news that the Wei army had been defeated in Longyou, and then turned south and went straight to Chencang.

They didn't care about the fact that it was a taboo for the soldiers to go deep alone, and they relied on the cavalry to move fast, always acting before the enemy reacted, avoiding holding on to the enemy, and spreading rumors all the way that the Wei army was in Guanzhong and Longyou.

And they are not alone, they also have the support of the rear army.

Their rear army refers to Wei Yan leading the Hanzhong army to pour out of the nest and attack Chen Cang together, causing Cao Zhen and Sima Yi to be attacked by the enemy on their backs, and repeating the original strategy of attacking and occupying it.

Only this time, there are many differences from the beginning.

The last time he bypassed Cao Xiu to attack and occupy Shang, because Cao Xiu believed that his own strength was much larger than the enemy's army, and the enemy took the initiative to retreat to Qishan, the whole army pressed on it, and it was an empty city, so they could easily take it.

And this time, whether it is Cao Zhen, Sima Yi, or Zhang and Guo Huai, they are all a lot more careful, especially for Chen Cang, the general base of several large armies, there are a large number of Wei troops stationed, and it is almost impossible to rely on a sneak attack to take it.

Fortunately, Ma Chao and they did not plan to immediately capture Chencang, after arriving at Chencang, they immediately divided their troops into two routes, led by Ma Chao 5,000 elite cavalry, staying outside Chencang City to challenge, and Ma Dai led 1,000 cavalry to fight directly to disperse the pass to meet Wei Yan's army.

Now Wei Yan is here, but his army is still like a long dragon hundreds of miles long, scattered on Chencang Road.

Ma Dai was a little embarrassed, he didn't know whether to leave immediately to pick up Ma Chao, and whether he and Wei Yan should guard the Sanguan here and wait for the arrival of the army.

"No way, that Zhang has suffered a big loss under my hands, this time to discern it, he is too careful, it is like a turtle crawling along the way, if I hadn't given him so much food and military uniforms, he would still be holding on to the road until now." Wei Yan grinned and picked at the back of his head to explain.

Ma Dai can understand, hasn't Sima Yi on their side always been cautious and cautious? If it weren't for Xiahou Ba's eagerness to take revenge, they really wouldn't have found a chance to win a victory and strike the enemy before they came to Guanzhong.

Not only that, but in Jicheng and Shang, now that the enemy has completely stopped the siege operation, he wants to mobilize them, and when they show their flaws, they are all counting on Ma Chao and Wei Yan.

Wei Yan continued to shirk responsibility: "I, we can't help it, there are too few war horses, even counting the horses that tow the grain to transport, so we got together so many hundreds of horses and rushed here in time." ”

"yes, I know." Of course, Ma Dai knew that in order to ensure the success of Longyou's operation, almost all the war horses on the Western Front were allocated to them.

However, now that the situation is much better, he is also a little embarrassed: "This, horses, in fact, we have more horses than people in our place now." (To be continued.) )
