Chapter 288: This is the Prairie

The ramp is lost. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Wei Yan, and three thousand cavalry joined the battle circle in three waves within half an hour.

After Zhao Yun pierced the jaw of the general guarding the camp with one shot, and then pulled out the gentian gun with blood foam from the back of the head of the general guarding the camp, all the still alive Li Guojun chose to surrender.

3,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry, although most of the elements of sneak attacks, but this also fully demonstrated the strength of the cavalry under Cao De's command again.

After Li Guojun chose to surrender, Zhao Yun took over the entire Li Guojun camp and waited for the arrival of the large army.

Xu Shu didn't let Zhao Yun wait for a long time. A day later, Cao Ren walked out of the Baochu Road with 20,000 cavalry, and another day later, Xu Shu came to the camp at the northern port of the Baochu Road with the remaining large troops.

At the same time that Xu Shu stepped into the camp, Li Wei, who was staying at the northern port of Chencang Road, finally received the news that Bao Shudao had been attacked and lost.

Enraged, Li Dao kicked the table in front of him to the other side of the tent.

However, no amount of anger can be used now. Since Cao De's army had come to the north of Qinling, it was useless to block Chencang Road, so Li Wei, who was angry, hurriedly ordered to gather 30,000 troops at the north port of Chencang Road, first, to defend against Cao De's possible non-stop attack, and second, to prepare to send troops back to Baochuan Road.

However, at this time, there was also an incident that would also make Li Dao start such a fire again, because Ma Chao had finally arrived at Li Guojun's camp at the north port of the Meridian Road half a day ago. Moreover, after Ma Chao arrived, he didn't make any stops, and went straight in.

Ma Chao led the 473 cavalry guards under Cao Dete's special reward and Xiahou Yuan to rush forward on light horses, and it took less than four days to rush from the south end of the Meridian Road to the north head.

At the beginning, Cao De's army set foot on the Meridian Road, advanced at the speed of a turtle crawl for five days, and then disappeared overnight. Cao De did not go anywhere else, but came to a big mountain in front of Luogu Pass and hid.

Cao De is not trying to attack the east and the west as Li Dao and Guo Yan guessed, but to play back the horse pistol. Cao De's feint succeeded in luring the 30,000-strong army blocking the northern port of the Meridian Road to the west to Fu Luo Road and the Kugu Road to the east. And Guo Yan himself followed the army to the camp at the north port of Fu Luo Road, which was closest to the Meridian Road.

If, if Xu Shu's Second Legion had appeared three days earlier than Cao De's First Legion, Guo Yan would definitely have received the news of the Praise Slope, and then made adjustments in time. Unfortunately, this is not possible.

Xu Shu and Cao De's tactics were the same, and the timing of the soldiers and horses was almost the same. It's just that because Ma Chao's meridian road is a long way longer than Zhao Yun's praise slope road, Ma Chao is more than two days later than Zhao Yun.

However, more than two days is too short in an era when communication is basically delivered by people. Therefore, when Guo Yan received the news of the praise slope and suddenly realized, it was too late.

Before Ma Chao was about to arrive at the Li Guojun camp at the north port of the Meridian Road, Pang De asked Ma Chao, "Major General, how are we going to fight this battle?" ”

Although Pang De understands that the current Ma Chao and himself are already Cao De's people, Pang De still likes to call Ma Chao a major general.

When someone with a heart took the title of Pound to Cao De to make a small report, Cao De just smiled slightly. Don't you know that over there is the nephew of your lord, my father-in-law, Cao De, what's wrong with shouting the young general, and it's not the young master who is called. Besides, if I am willing to publicly accept Ma Chao as my son, don't you also have to call the young general.

When Pang De asked this question, Xiahou Yuan, who had been galloping on the side, also pricked up his ears and quietly listened to Ma Chao's answer.

And Ma Chao's answer is also very simple. Ma Chao smiled slightly, glanced at Xiahou Yuan, and said, "How we fight on the grassland, we will fight this battle." ”

Yes, the current situation is very similar to when Ma Chao was on the grassland. All are long marches followed by a surprise attack on the enemy. It's just that in the steppe, it was the tribes that were attacked, and here, the attacked became a camp.

The four hundred and seventy-six cavalry behind Ma Chao, except for Xiahou Yuan, all of them came back from the grassland after two years of fighting.

Over the course of two years, they had mastered the same and masterful technique, which was mounted archery.

Mounted archery is not mounted archery on the back of a bumpy horse, and being able to shoot a bow and arrow is mounted archery. They have to have a certain hit percentage to qualify.

But I'm sorry, Ma Chao, plus Xiahou Yuan, Ma Play and Pang De, as well as the four hundred and seventy-three knights, are all excellent riding archers.

Moreover, in the past two years, what they have done is to raid the tribes of the steppe people, and now they have changed to the enemy's camp, which is just a change of soup and not a change of medicine.

When Xiahou Yuan shot three arrows in a row and eliminated three enemy sentinels, the cavalrymen, who had always been proud of their archery skills, were suddenly ashamed.

Although their archery skills are worse than those of Xiahou Yuanlai, they cannot be underestimated. Because, after Xiahou Yuan shot three arrows, many of the more than 400 cavalry behind Xiahou Yuan also shot two arrows.

After dealing with the sentinels, the Li Guojun camp at the northern port of the Meridian Road, which was also unguarded, was quickly rushed in by Ma Chao with four hundred and seventy-six people.

There was no need for Ma Chao to say more, Ma Chao took the spear in his hand and slashed at Li Guojun's camp in a fan shape, and the four hundred and seventy-three cavalry hula, who were familiar with the road, were suddenly divided into one hundred and sixty squads. Rushed into Li Guojun's camp like locusts.

They also retain the habit of slaughtering nomads in the northern steppes.

Three people are a team, one main attack, two cover the kill. Not only that, but the three squads also formed a brigade, covering each other and scurrying around in Li Guojun's camp.

Moreover, the difference between this camp and on the grassland is that you can retreat with one blow on the grassland, but not here. Ma Chao needs to defeat them, kill them and lose their armor, and kill them to the ground.

This battalion can be said to be the weakest defense of the five battalions that Li Dao Guo Yan used to resist Cao De. There were only five thousand people.

After Ma Chao's action, Li Guojun, who was already weakly defended, suddenly became chaotic, and Zhang Fei, who arrived shortly after, and the 1,000 cavalry he brought created an even greater panic for the chaotic Li Guojun.

There is no doubt that this large camp at the northern port of the Meridian Road was also lost, and after the general of the garrison was killed, most of the soldiers of Li Guo's army chose to surrender.

They had never seen such a murderous army, and they were ready to meet the enemy's blade from the front, but the scimitar that suddenly appeared from behind ended their lives.

After Guo Yan received the news of Bao Shudao again, he quickly understood Cao De's intentions, so Guo Yan immediately ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses and rushed to the camp at the north port of the Meridian Road, but it was too late.

By the time Guo Yan was about to set off, there were already soldiers covered in blood from the camp at the north port of the meridian road to report the news of the loss of the camp.

Guo Yan gritted his teeth hatefully, but still made more preparations, and when he gathered 10,000 soldiers and horses to prepare to recapture the camp at the north port of the Meridian Road, Cao De had already led the army not far from the north port of the Meridian Road.

At this time, the Cao Dejun in Li Guojun's camp at the northern port of the Meridian Road was less than 1,500 people.

So, now it's up to Cao De to go fast or Guo Yan to go fast.
