The 2,000 cavalry of the Wei army hurried all the way and finally arrived all the way unhindered. Vertex updates are the fastest

Sure enough, as the messenger reported, the upper city gate was closed, and there were many Wei soldiers standing on the city wall, and the whole city looked heavily guarded.

General Wei let out a sigh of relief, thankfully, he arrived before Ma Chao.

Well? It's safe here, and Ma Chao hasn't been found in the enemy army behind, where will he go? Did you go to Jicheng?

"Hey! Listen, the people of the city, we have been commanded to come and guard it, and open the gates of the city quickly, and let us in! He shouted at the city.

The city replied, "All right, open the gates now, and wait a moment!" ”

General Wei took the opportunity to ask again: "Has Ma Chao ever been here?" ”

The city replied: "I came, but when we came, we had already closed the city gates, and they ran away without siege equipment!" ”

That's it, it's all light riding and fast horses, how to attack the city? General Wei breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Where did they go?" ”

The defenders of the city pointed to the east: "It seems to be going to Linwei!" ”

Yes? The enemy still wants to sneak attack Linwei? Everyone panicked all at once. Vertex updates are the fastest

"Oh my God, if they attack and occupy Linwei, won't it block our way back to Guanzhong?"

"Oh my God, could it be that Guanzhong has really been captured by the enemy, and now Ma Chao is rushing to join them?"

"Oh my God, general, should we rush to Linwei to support, but don't be unable to go back then."

Oh my God, it seems that what the Shu army said is true, they deliberately deceived us to Longyou, but they took advantage of the weakness to attack Guanzhong!

General Wei also panicked, not knowing whether to hurry up and chase after him again.

Fortunately, there was immediately another voice of opposition.

"General, leave them alone, we're all tired, why don't we go to the city to replenish it."

"That's right, since Ma Chao can't even go to Linwei and run to Linwei, I'm afraid that he will be more tired than we are, what else can he do?"

"That is, no matter how much we chase, we don't have to fight with the enemy, and we will exhaust ourselves to death."

That is, in any case, take a rest and then say, eat a meal, and feed the horse. Vertex updates are the fastest

General Wei shouted at the city: "Hurry up and open the door!" We're going to go ahead and take a break! ”

The castle replied: "It's open, it's open, it's going to be open!" ”

"Quack, quack......" The city gate made a noise, and a crack had been opened.

The Wei cavalry hurriedly approached, waiting to enter the city.

At this moment, only a shout from the city was heard: "Release!" ”

The defenders who had been standing on the city suddenly raised their bows and crossbows in their hands and shot at the Wei army under the city.

The Wei cavalry was full of joy, and they didn't even have time to dodge under the sudden change, and they were shot down a large area at once.

At the same time, the city gate was opened, and hundreds of Shu horsemen shouted and killed from the city.

The first general, with a white robe and a silver gun, and a tall horse, roared: "Ma Chao is here, hurry up and dismount and surrender!" ”

The silver spear in his hand shook and went straight to the leading Wei general.

The crowd of Wei Qi had already been exhausted, and when they were mutated again, Ma Chao suddenly killed in front of him, and one by one his hands and feet became weak, and he turned around and ran. Vertex updates are the fastest

Ma Chao had already seen it clearly, and when the enemy army was in chaos, Wei Cheng had no time to react, and he was shot head-on, stabbing him to the ground.

The Wei army no longer had the fighting spirit and fled in all directions.

At this time, the cavalry of the Shu army had been resting for a long time, full of energy, the more brave they became, chasing after them, and shouting: "Kill!" Kill to Guanzhong, kill to Chang'an, and go to meet the army! ”

The exhausted Zhong Wei rode away, and almost no one was willing to resist, some fled back to join the army, and some simply ran directly to Linwei and Guanzhong.

Ma Chao laughed, ignoring the enemies who ran back, only took 300 horsemen, and chased after the enemy troops who fled in the direction of Guanzhong, and chased them for 40 miles in a row, only to escort more than 100 enemies who were so tired that they turned on their backs and turned back.

Those Wei cavalry who fled back, ran out of dozens of miles, and met Ma Chao's infantry rear again, this time they didn't dare to harass again, and went around far away, reporting to Deputy General Cao Xiu, who was still chasing behind the enemy, saying that Shang had been seized by Ma Chao, and they would continue to kill Linwei.

When the deputy general heard that Ma Chao was going to attack Linwei instead of Jicheng, he was also frightened, and he didn't care about chasing the enemy, so he hurriedly sent a fast horse to report to Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu was bored in the camp, since the defeat for two consecutive days, the army has long had no desire to fight, and he even found that the enemy army was not only well-trained and better than them in coordination and combat ability, but also seemed to be about to outnumber him.

In addition to Ma Chao's troops, there seemed to be nearly 20,000 enemies who fought with him the day before yesterday.

And he, after two battle losses, plus more than 10,000 people sent out to chase Ma Chao, now the rest is only more than 20,000 points.

With this, it seems unrealistic to say that the enemy will be driven out of Longyou quickly.

Moreover, now he doesn't dare to maintain a trace of optimism about Guanzhong, if the enemy over there is also as resourceful and good at fighting as the enemy here, it is not too much to say that Guanzhong is in danger.

What's even worse is that he knows that on the side of Xiangyang and Nanyang, Liu Bei and Guan Yu are leading a large army to attack, and Cao Pi may not be able to send many men and horses to support Guanzhong in time.

And the enemy in front of them was also a little too confident, not only sent Ma Chao directly into the rear, but after the victory the day before yesterday, they had already set up their camp less than five miles away from their own camp.

And yesterday, they were all challenging outside the camp, still shouting loudly that everything in Guanzhong had been lost, Chang'an had been lost, and the Shu army was about to kill out of Tongguan and go straight to Luoyang, which made their own army even more panicked.

He realized that because of the two consecutive defeats, with the current morale of these horses, he was afraid that he could no longer stop the enemy's attack.

So, retreat to Jicheng and go up to hold on?

Then what did you do with 50,000 elites and run to Longyou? Not only did they not drive away the enemy, but they were also beaten to hide their heads and feet, which is too embarrassing, right?

He can't afford to lose this man!

At this moment, the rear army sent news overnight that they had failed to catch up with Ma Chao and had been captured by others, and they had been killed in the direction of Linwei and Guanzhong.

Now, there are no cavalry left after Ma Chao, and all the foot soldiers are panicking, waiting for the general to make an idea.

The generals were also anxious when they heard the news, and they all came to persuade Cao Xiu to withdraw from the army.

"General, we have lost twice, so let's retreat to Jicheng first and wait for help."

"General, the enemy has rushed to Weishui, the situation is critical, if they cut off the road from Weishui to Longyou, if we want to retreat, we have to go far around Luoyang."

"General, the enemy went straight to Linwei and cut off our back road, not only is it difficult for the grain and grass to keep up in time, but even the news is not available, in case there is an accident in the pass, we can't return in time to help."

"General, the enemy is advancing towards Guanzhong so quickly, I'm afraid that they really have laid down something on Guanzhong's side, if they wait for them to meet in two ways, Guanzhong may be really difficult to protect."

"General, hurry up and take advantage of the enemy's army to be behind, abandon the village overnight and go back to Linwei, hold Linwei, if there is difficulty in the pass, go back to the pass, if there is nothing in the pass, send reinforcements to save Longyou, it's not too late."

The consequences became more and more serious by them, Cao Xiu only felt dizzy, no matter how good his face was, he knew that he couldn't hold on, so he had to grit his teeth and order: "Send 10,000 horses to defend Jicheng, and all the other departments will go back to protect Linwei first."
