CHAPTER 283 RUSH TO GET THE UPPER DAY
When Ma Chao led the army to take advantage of the defeat of the Wei army to concentrate on the defense and quickly bypass the enemy camp, he did not stop at all, and went straight to Shangcheng all the way. Vertex updates are the fastest
At the beginning, the troops suddenly went out of Qishan, and it was a good opportunity to take advantage of the fact that the enemy's army had not yet arrived, and to capture Shangshan first.
However, at that time, after all, they had already received the news that they had entered Tianshui, and although there were few soldiers, they would still be on guard and resist.
And now, they have Cao Xiu's army in front of them to block them, and they also firmly believe that Cao Xiu can block for them, but it has become a real undefended county town.
What Ma Chao has to do is to run faster than the person who reported the news to Wei Jun.
He only took a thousand cavalry with him, and went straight all the way without stopping.
A thousand cavalry, but with two thousand horses.
In order to get the fastest speed, he had to make sure that each horse could always reach the top as fast as possible, so each horse was two horses to ride.
The rest of the cavalry and foot soldiers were responsible for fending off the enemy's pursuers while hurrying on the road. Vertex updates are the fastest
And the county order is still secretly rejoicing at this time.
This time, although Ma Chao rushed to finish cutting the wheat, he didn't come to attack the county seat after all, otherwise, if Ma Chao was lucky and knocked down the county seat before Cao Xiu arrived, the head on his neck might not be guaranteed.
Moreover, the news he got was that Ma Chao was now hiding in the Qishan camp, and he didn't dare to come out to accept Cao Xiu's challenge.
Therefore, now that he can no longer worry about his safety, he took time out to inspect the wheat field that was harvested by Ma Chao.
The wheat fields in the four fields, at first glance, are still growing with wheat plants, and when a gust of wind blows, the long leaves are also dancing with the wind.
Yes, but the leaves were swaying, and the stalk, because the ears of wheat had been cut off, were still standing tall and proud.
What are you proud of? Now, you are nothing more than firewood in a land.
Damn Ma Chao, you cut off my wheat ears, I can't wait to cut off the head on your neck!
Hum! I'm. Vertex updates are the fastest
Alas, forget it, if you don't watch it, the more you look at it, the more sad you become, and the more you look at it, the more angry you become! He shook his head and turned back to the city.
At the gates, the sergeants guarding the gates carefully checked everyone who entered and exited the gates.
"Your Excellency, you're back." Seeing the county order and his entourage returning to the city, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute and say hello.
The county magistrate pulled the curtain and asked, "Nothing abnormal, right?" ”
The sergeants replied, "Lord Hui, everything is fine. ”
The county magistrate nodded, indicating that he understood, and lowered the curtain and let the driver continue to drive forward.
Of course, everything will be fine, even Cao Xiu has already led a large army to rush over, and he is afraid that Ma Chao will rebel?
Asking a question is just a sign that he is doing his duty.
As soon as the carriage entered the city gate, it heard the sound of horses' hooves behind it, and a voice shouted, "Get out of the way!" Get out of the way! "Soon we reached the gate of the city. Vertex updates are the fastest
Although it seemed to be the fast horse of their own Wei army, the sergeants hurriedly closed the barricade and stopped him.
The man was panting, sweating profusely, with an angry face, and out of breath: "Quick, dodge!" I have, urgent military affairs, to inform, the county, the prefectural order! ”
The county magistrate heard the movement behind him and had already gotten out of the carriage, then he came over and asked, "Who are you?" I'm just the order, if there is any urgent military business, tell me quickly. ”
The person who came was almost lying on his horse, his face was flushed, and he reported to the county order: "My lord, the big thing is not good, the leading general, in, in Qishan, outnumbered, defeated by Ma Chao, defeated by Ma Chao, seriously wounded, the whole army was defeated, and now ......"
Before he could finish speaking, he fell off his horse and fainted.
"Hey! Wake up, wake up! Now, what's going on now? The order was in a hurry, and he summoned his followers, "Quick, wake him up!" ”
Yes? Even Cao Xiu's 50,000 army was defeated by Cao Xiu? Or outnumbered?
"It's over, what can I do?" Everyone was stunned, helpless, and their faces were filled with fear. Vertex updates are the fastest
The county commander was still glad that Cao Xiu was protecting them just now, and this time his face was pale, but fortunately, he was still a person who had seen the world after all, and urged everyone at the moment: "Wake him up, wake him up!" Ask what's going on! ”
Everyone hurriedly picked up the sergeant who came to report the news, and was busy pinching people's mids and rubbing their temples.
It's just that what else is there to ask, even Cao Xiu was beaten and seriously injured, what's the use of asking clearly?
After a lot of tossing and turning, the person who came finally woke up slowly, opened his eyes and glanced at everyone, then hugged the thigh of the county order, and cried and shouted: "My lord, it's over, it's all over!" Woo......"
"Okay, okay, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you make it clear first, what's going on?" The county magistrate felt that his feet were a little weak and wanted him to stand up and speak.
"It's over, it's all over, the enemy has an army of 100,000! The leading general only had 50,000 horses, and where could he withstand the enemy's attack, he could only be trapped in the camp now, and most of the sergeants were scattered and chased by the enemy all the way, and they would soon come up. My lord, make preparations quickly, and when our defeated army retreats, we will hold on to the county seat, and we must not let the enemy take the city. The sergeant finally finished his words in one breath.
"What? You mean, Ma Chao is coming up soon? The sergeants around were all screaming.
"Run! It's going to be a fight again! Before the county order could speak, the people who were watching on the sidelines reacted first and dispersed in a hurry.
The county magistrate hurriedly shouted: "Don't panic, don't panic!" ”
However, how could the people not panic, they all saw that in the distance, the dust was flying, and a large army of cavalry was galloping towards this side.
The county magistrate didn't care about the image anymore, and immediately ordered: "Hurry up and close the city gate, close the city gate!" ”
The sergeant who came to report the news struggled to stand up, looked into the distance, and hurriedly said: "My lord, you can't close the city gate, that's our own cavalry!" It seems that they have retreated here. My lord, quickly bring them into the city and resist Ma Chao together. ”
As he spoke, his hand quietly touched the hilt of the waist knife.
Only then did the county commander see that the people and horses coming from a distance were indeed riding under the banner of the Wei army, but they were not their own soldiers and horses who had fled here.
"Quick, open the gates, let them in!" The county order hurriedly changed his words, at this time, it was really unbelievable to have someone to help him defend the city together, even if they had just lost the battle.
He hurriedly led the people up to the city gate, so that he could see the situation in the distance.
The cavalry of the Wei army of the brigade roared and quickly poured into the city, one hundred, two hundred, and there were many more behind.
It's just that the cavalry that followed them were all wearing the uniforms of the Shu army.
One of the athletes rushed into the city gate and shouted: "Ma Chao is here!" If you don't want to die, you can catch it quickly! ”
And behind him, there was a steady stream of enemy horsemen who continued to pour into the city, heading straight for the four gates.
The county magistrate was stunned on the city tower, and grabbed the person who reported the news: "Why didn't you say it earlier, Ma Chao has already caught up with them?" It's over, the city is gone, and it's too late to run. ”
The person who came smiled lightly, raised his hand and drew a knife on his neck: "My lord, I forgot to tell you that I am General Ma's subordinate ......" (to be continued. )
