Mobile reading
"Liu Bei?" Ma Chao thought of Liu Bei's various performances when attacking Lu Bu, as well as his intention to win him over, and he was a little moved.
Immediately, Ma Chao vetoed the idea of taking refuge in Liu Bei, although Liu Bei's strength is not weak, but it is close to Chang'an, and Jingzhou at this time is not as stable as it seems, and once Lu Bu attacks Jingzhou, Liu Bei will face a homeless situation.
"No, go to Yizhou, General Ben secretly sent someone to contact Zhang Lu in Hanzhong and Liu Zhang in Yizhou before, Liu Zhang didn't attach importance to General Ben's proposal, but Zhang Lu showed the intention of wooing, if he took refuge in Zhang Lu, there would be no chance in the future." Ma Chaodao.
That night, Ma Chao led the remaining cavalry and 1,000 foot soldiers in the army, opened the city gate and broke through, and the defenders in the city did not even have time to react, Ma Chao had already given up on them.
Before Ma Chao got Di Dao to be defeated, Lu Bu got the news.
Pang Tong said: "Lord, now that Di Dao has been broken by our army, Ma Chao has lost his last support, and as expected, he will definitely give up the barrier county." ”
"From Shiyuan's point of view, if Ma Chao gives up Longxi, where will he go?" Lu Bu asked.
Pang Tong glanced at the topographic map in front of him and said slowly: "As expected, Ma Chao will definitely go to Hanzhong." ”
"Hanzhong?" Lu Bu wondered.
"Lord, if Ma Chao goes to Jingzhou, there will be a lot of danger after the lord's rule, and it will not be the case if he goes to Hanzhong, Hanzhong is occupied by Zhang Lu at this time, Zhang Lu must be worried about the army from Chang'an, Ma Chao takes refuge, which is exactly what he wants, and if Ma Chao can gradually seize the military power in Hanzhong, he will have the foundation to continue to confront the lord in the future." Frustrated and analyzed.
Lu Bu shook his head and said: "Zhang Lu can occupy Hanzhong in the hands of Liu Zhang, how can it be easy, I'm afraid that after Ma Chao arrives in Hanzhong, he will not be trusted, and at most send Ma Chao to guard the city." ”
"Ordered Tai Shi Ci to lead the cavalry to wait for the Ma Chao army outside the city." Lu Bu ordered: "Kill as many soldiers under Ma Chao as possible." ”
In the future, Yizhou is bound to win, if Ma Chao runs to Hanzhong, it will inevitably increase the difficulty, Yizhou is not better than Liangzhou, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, with Ma Chao's strategy, if it is reused by Zhang Lu, it will be troublesome.
Ma Chao had just withdrawn from the barrier county for only ten miles, and he met the Lieyang archers led by Tai Shici, and the two met, without too many words, and directly killed.
Tai Shi Ci led the Blazing Sun Bow Cavalry and rushed directly into Ma Chao's camp, rushing left and right, no one was invincible.
Seeing this, Ma Chao snorted coldly, and the prancing horse shot Ben Tai Shici.
Soldier to soldier, general to general, in terms of the ability to charge on the battlefield, although there is a big gap between the Lieyang Bow Cavalry and the Flying Cavalry, but the Lieyang Bow Cavalry surpasses the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in terms of blades and horsemanship.
Although the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is the most elite cavalry under Ma Chao, after the defeat in the battle with the Flying Cavalry, they were a little panicked when facing the Bingzhou Cavalry, not to mention that they were retreating from Barrier County at this time, and they were already the losing side in this battle.
After more than ten battles, Ma Chao saw that Tai Shici's double halberd was extremely skillful, but he was reluctant, this place is only more than ten miles away from Barrier County, if most of the enemy army kills it, it will be dangerous.
Ma Chao shook a shot, forced Tai Shici back, rode back to the army, and gave the order to retreat.
How could Tai Shi Ci let go of Ma Chao so easily, the best thing for the Burning Sun Archers was to pursue, on such battlefields, the enemy fled to give the Burning Sun Archers a chance, but seeing that Tai Shi Ci led the Burning Sun Archers, from time to time poured arrows on Ma Chao's army, although it was at night, it was more difficult to aim, and through the shadowy fire, the Burning Sun Archers still caused a lot of damage to Ma Chao's army.
Seeing this, Ma Chao was furious, and was about to lead the cavalry to kill Tai Shici, Ma Dai persuaded: "General, the Burning Sun Archers are good at riding and shooting, and their speed is not comparable to our army. ”
Ma Chao was silent when he heard this, he didn't understand the situation on the battlefield now, but the foot soldiers who followed him were all elites, if he gave up, it would mean that after he entered Hanzhong, his strength would be greatly damaged, and these soldiers were his reliance on the resurgence of the eastern mountains of Hanzhong.
Even though the elite infantry under the command of Ma Chao, after facing the continuous shooting of the Sun Archers, there were deserters, and in the face of the choice of life and death, they chose the former, and the fear of defeat and the pursuit of the enemy cavalry made these soldiers forget their previous glory.
After a long time, Ma Chao gave the order for the cavalry to retreat, and the war horse galloped, Ma Chao looked back at his own foot soldiers who were fighting with the Sun Archers, and his expression showed anger and helplessness.
After Ma Chao left, the remaining foot soldiers could not bear the huge torture under the rain of arrows from the Sun Bow Cavalry, gave up resistance, and gathered the remnants, but Tai Shi Ci did not continue to pursue Ma Chao, Ma Chao was quite strategic, and there were a lot of cavalry under his command, it was enough to leave these foot soldiers.
The next day, the defenders in the city were surprised to find that the coalition forces outside the city stopped attacking, and soon, the news that Ma Chao led the army to retreat last night spread in the city, and the officials in the city got the news and opened the city gate in desperation.
After the army entered the city, it quickly took control of the city gates, and as for the army of Han Sui and Zhao Yang, they were left outside the city.
Ma Teng died in battle, and Ma Chao was defeated and fled, making the current situation in Liangzhou clearer.
The changes in Liangzhou spread to the princes but caused a lot of turmoil, they did not expect that the army of Liangzhou had just experienced a vicious battle and barely kept the state, but it was one after another, not only drove Yuan Shao away from Jizhou, but also used the newly formed Chang'an army and Ma Chao to defeat one after another and capture Wudu and Longxi.
The biggest shock is Liu Zhang, originally Liu Zhang was still extremely comfortable in the land of Yizhou, Yizhou is easy to defend and difficult to attack, don't worry about the threat from the princes, just send generals to stick to the checkpoint, but Lu Bu after capturing Chang'an, Wudu and Longxi, it is a huge threat to Yizhou.
After getting the news, Liu Zhang's expression was full of worry, and the stronger Lu Bu's combat power was, the more uneasy it made him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now after the Marquis of Jin captured Chang'an, he defeated Ma Chao and captured Longxi and Wudu, Ma Teng was killed in Hanyang, and the Marquis of Jin was in full swing, if it attacked Yizhou, Yizhou would be in danger." Liu Zhang glanced at the civil and military generals in the hall, and his tone was full of worry.
