Chapter 124: Successive Battles

Since Ma Chao sent troops to attack Li Dao, he has suffered several defeats in a row, and he is really depressed, but this battle finally made him get a catharsis, and he killed all the way, and he was happy.

Not only Ma Chao, but also the ordinary soldiers under Ma Chao's tent, they shouted and slashed, as if they wanted to vent all the hatred and all the depression before.

All the sergeants were red-eyed, but anyone who saw the soldiers of Li Dao's army, regardless of whether they surrendered or not, was killed.

Ma Chaojun almost lost his mind when he killed, and he was almost about to break into the people's houses and slaughter the city, but fortunately, Hao Zhao saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly ordered a military horse under his command, scattered the order, and shouted loudly not to disturb the people, and the offender was killed!

In this way, Ma Chaojun did not completely lose his cool.

Of course, in addition to the hundreds of dead soldiers who were indiscriminately shot and killed by Li Wei's army under the city, the soldiers of Ma Chao's army suffered very little losses in the later city battles, mainly because the cavalry rushed into the city, and Li Xin's military horses did not have time to react at all and failed to make effective resistance.

More than 20,000 Li Dao troops in the city were directly killed more than 10,000 people, and the rest of them fled. Only Li Xin fled from the east gate of the city with three or two thousand men and horses into the pass in the direction of Chencang.

However, Ma Chao did not intend to let him go. Because compared to Ma Chao's military horse, the battle has just begun.

In order to be able to get through this route as much as possible, there is no longer a saying that the poor should not chase. Even, after capturing Hedong City, Ma Chao did not order the soldiers to clean up the battlefield. did not let people govern Hedong City, but let a deputy general leave one or two thousand men and horses to defend the small city in Hedong, and then he directly waved his army to closely pursue Li Xin's deserters. Fight headlong into the pass.

And one step faster than Ma Chao's military horse, Wang Yue took Shi A and a group of disciples, except for the one who was injured and did not come, and the eighteen disciples except for Yuan Qing did not come, sixteen disciples, plus Wang Yue is seventeen people. They almost chased and killed Li Xin's deserters together.

Of course. Wang Yue and the other seventeen people did not chase and assassinate Li Xin, but mixed with his deserters. Entered another level.

Originally, Li Xin fled to this checkpoint in the mountains with two or three thousand deserters, intending to take advantage of the dangerous terrain. Resist the attack of Ma Chao's army. But. When Ma Chao, Pang De, Hao Zhao and others led the army to kill, Wang Yue and his disciples suddenly attacked, and with their seventeen people, they directly killed the enemy soldiers who closed the gate of the checkpoint, opened the gate, and let Ma Chao's army enter the pass.

Li Xin, who had just escaped to this level, didn't have time to catch his breath, so he was about to escape again.

But he escaped. But he took the soldiers and horses that fled back, but he didn't have time to flee again. The Ma Chao cavalry, who rushed into the checkpoint quickly, were trapped in the barracks in the checkpoint, and none of them escaped.

Following down, Ma Chao was even more non-stop, and directly attacked the next pass.

It can be said that Li Xin started from the small town in Hedong and fled all the way until dawn, when he was beaten down ten checkpoints by Ma Chao in a row, and he almost didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.

And the reason why Ma Chao was able to pass the pass so quickly was mainly because of the night, relying on speed, so that the defenders of Li Daojun's various passes had no time to react at all. Wherever Li Xin fled all the way, Ma Chaojun's cavalry pursued and killed.

Of course, to be able to go so smoothly, the key is to rely on the sixteen disciples such as Wang Yue and Shi A. These seventeen first-class masters, taking advantage of the night, were like entering a no-man's land, climbing directly into those levels, and first controlling the gate.

In the second half of the night, he won ten levels in a row and advanced dozens of miles.

The next day, Ma Chao did not stop attacking, but just ordered the military horses to make a fire and make food, and after eating and drinking, he immediately launched an attack.

In the second half of the night's battle, Ma Chaojun attacked all the way, in fact, not all the soldiers participated in the battle, and the military horses that came from behind, they were actually just in a hurry, and they couldn't participate in the battle in time. In this way, Ma Chao ordered the rear to become the front, and the military horses that did not participate in the battle last night continued to attack forward, and those who had fought a series of battles would rest for a while, and then relay the attack.

The battle during the day was unprecedentedly fierce.

Li Daojun had already prepared, and with the convenience of their village, Ma Chaojun's progress was not too smooth. Attacking and killing all the way, Li Dao's army would occasionally ambush on the mountains on both sides, which caused a lot of losses to Ma Chao's sergeants.

However, even so, Ma Chao was also angry, and after several levels, he advanced dozens of miles again.

At night, Ma Chao continued to attack at night, despite the fatigue of fighting continuously all night and day long.

Overnight, it marched a hundred miles again. After dawn, even a master like Wang Yue was a little overwhelmed, so Ma Chao had to order the military horse to stop attacking.

After a day and two nights of fighting, Ma Chao opened up a route of about 200 miles and conquered dozens of levels. This is easy to say, but the actual battle is very tragic.

For example, Ma Chao's cavalry, when passing through some mountain roads on both sides of the mountain is more dangerous, may be attacked by Li Dao's army hiding in the mountains at any time. They did not kill from the mountain, but pushed down heavy objects such as rolling stones and sassal trees on the mountain, which caused Ma Chao's cavalry to suffer heavy casualties. Whenever such an attack is encountered, he can only rely on Ma Chao and other generals to forcibly brave the arrows and stones of the enemy on the mountain to go up the mountain and kill the enemy soldiers on the mountain, so that their own military horses can pass through.

When encountering the checkpoint, it can only be Ma Chao and other fierce generals who force the attack in person, so that it is possible to break through the checkpoint, otherwise, relying on a boatload of soldiers, I am afraid that they will not be able to get close to the enemy's kind of pass.

After this series of fierce battles, even Ma Chao, Pang De, Wang Yue and others were all injured, and even, they all suffered some internal injuries, anyway, everyone was scarred.

To be honest, they didn't die on the spot.

Think of those dangerous levels, the enemy soldiers on the walls rained down arrows, the big stones fell down one by one, and the sassal logs were thrown down one by one. Even a master like Wang Yue is difficult to dodge all of them, and every time they attack, they will definitely be hit by the opponent's bow or boulder, and they can only resist the next blow with their own internal strength.

In this way, it is strange not to get hurt.

This is quite light, because, even if it is a heavy object, a master like Wang Yue can barely rely on his own internal strength to resist, if he touches the boiling oil and water and splashes it, then even if he has strong internal strength, he is afraid that he will not be able to avoid the damage of those boiling oils.

Among Wang Yue's disciples, three were injured by oil and water, and one was disfigured by oil and water because he didn't have time to protect his face.

However, even if the sacrifice is great, it is worth it, because, with Chen Cang in sight, this passage can be opened with an open eye to receive the New Han army into Xiliang. (To be continued......)
