Chapter Fifty-Nine: Enemies on Three Sides, Bloodstained Plains
In Xuchang City, Yuzhou, everything is so calm, Cao Cao is lying on the couch for a nap, and his son Cao Pi is standing aside to fan it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt this moment, a guard stepped forward and waved his hand to Cao Pi.
Seeing this, Cao Pi gently put down the fan in his hand and walked out.
"What's the matter?" Cao Pi asked.
"The border guard will report that Ma Chao led the army all the way back. He was in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry. The guard said.
"Ma Chao should be attacking Yuan Shu now, why would he suddenly turn around and return? The stakes are so high that I have to report to my father immediately. Cao Pi said and turned around to look for Cao Cao, but the guard saw it and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"Prime Minister Cao Cheng is sleeping, don't be disturbed."
Cao Pi glanced at the guard, then shook off his hand and walked quickly to Cao Cao's couch. Said cautiously.
"Father, Ma Chao is back with troops."
Cao Cao didn't react, still asleep. Cao Pi had to be a little louder and said again.
"Father, Ma Chao is back with troops."
Cao Pi waited for a while, and saw that his father still didn't react, so he was about to say more. Cao Cao suddenly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice.
"I see."
Cao Pi was startled by his father's sudden words, took a few steps back, and waited for his father's orders tremblingly.
"Where is the war going on in Yuan Shu, but Ma Chao suddenly returned with his troops, there must be something strange in it." Cao Cao sat up, chirped, and muttered to himself.
"The child also felt that something was wrong, so he hurried to report it." Cao Pi said cautiously in a low voice.
"Well, the order goes down. When Ma Chao passed by Runan, let him pass. Stop him when he passes by Anping. The defense of Anping City is strong, the formation is mysterious, and there is Xu Chu to guard. Once Ma Chao broke through, he used the moat array to block Ma Chao. There are many armies in the four surrounding cities of Anping, and once Ma Chao turns against me, they will be destroyed in groups. Cao Cao's words seemed to be a sharp sword, which caused chills in people's hearts.
"Son, I'll give the order."
Under the city of Anping, Yuzhou, Ma Chao's army is waiting patiently under the city. Not long after, a big man with a big waist and a round waist walked out bare-chested, it was the guard of Anping City, Xu Chu.
"The prime minister has an order, and now it is at an extraordinary moment, unless the prime minister comes here, Anping City will not let anyone go." Xu Chu arched his hand.
"This is Prime Minister Cao's military token, delaying the prime minister's major event, aren't you afraid of losing your head?" Ma Chao held the token high and shouted at Xu Chu in the city.
"Now that the war is raging in Yuan Shu, I advise you to go back." Xu Chu looked at Ma Chao under the city and smiled.
Ma Chao stared at Xu Chu on the city tower, secretly guessing in his heart. "Could it be that the news was leaked, and Cao Cao knew that we were reversed?"
"Maybe the general doesn't know, now that the military situation in Xuchang is in flames, we are on the orders of the prime minister to go to Xuchang to help." Seeing that Xu Chu didn't open the door, Ma Teng stepped forward and shouted loudly.
"I'm sorry." When Xu Chu heard Ma Teng's words, he just smiled and shook his head.
"Now that the military situation is urgent, if you are so stubborn again, we will have to force your way through." Ma Chao shouted in a hurry.
Xu Chu had already guessed Ma Chao's words, and asked the general next to him. The many archers who hid behind the city walls were already prepared. Xu Chu shouted.
"There's no way I'm going to let it go anyway."
When Ma Chao heard this, he knew that there was no room for a turn. So with a wave of his hand, the army rushed up in an instant.
Xu Chu stared down, waiting for this moment, already impatient. At the same time as Ma Chao made a move, Xu Chu also waved his hand, and a row of archers stood up behind the city wall in an instant. With the blessing of the Great Array of Protectors, the strength of each archer has been improved. Xu Chu gave an order, and countless arrows roared like a waterfall. Ma Chao's army was suddenly in chaos, and many soldiers fell.
Ma Chao's legs were clamped, and the speed of the purple electric god horse under his crotch skyrocketed. Ma Chao gathered the Yuan Force of his whole body on the gun, charged a shot, and stabbed directly at the city gate. Suddenly the golden light was shining, and Ma Chao was shocked and took a few steps back. On the other hand, the city wall was only a small pit that had been pierced. The mystery of this great array of city protection far exceeded Ma Chao's imagination.
"It's not good that they've been prepared, let's withdraw our troops first." Seeing this scene, Ma Teng was shocked and hurriedly said.
Ma Chao gritted his teeth and glanced at Xu Chu on the city tower, and slowly retreated unwillingly. At this moment, there was a shout of killing from the rear. Ma Chao was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly rode his horse and galloped to the rear of the army to check. Seeing this, Ma Chao was suddenly stupid.
The main general in that army is the defender of Runan City, Xiahoudun Xiahouyuan brothers.
"Damn, we're in ambush!" Ma Chao gritted his teeth and said.
Ma Chao turned around again, Anping City has now opened its door, Xu Chu is holding a huge meteor hammer, taking the lead, and the killer will come out.
"Now the north and south sides are under attack, and the west is a lonely mountain, so we have to withdraw our troops to the east Anpingye." Seeing this scene, Ma Teng no longer hesitated, and directly led the army to flee to the east.
As soon as they ran more than ten miles, Ma Chao, Ma Teng and others were intercepted again by a team of people and horses in Anpingye. Ma Chao has no way back now, so don't think about it anymore. A purple lightning flashed, and Ma Chao instantly rushed out of the army, taking the lead and directly rushing over.
Everyone divided their ways, and the chief general of the army rushed out. I saw that he was riding a war horse under his crotch, which was full of blood, and the evil aura on his body was extremely thick, and his expression seemed to have lost his mind. With a blood-drinking knife in his left hand and a red armor, this is Cao Hong.
One red and one purple, the two domineering Yuan forces collided together in an instant. After a few rounds, Ma Chao only had a slight advantage.
"When did Cao Hong become so powerful." Ma Teng looked at Cao Hong, who was brave and good at fighting, and was amazed in his heart. With Ma Teng's understanding of Cao Hong, he should not even be able to defeat an eight-star general like himself.
"Seeing that his face is flushed and his blood vessels are bursting, it should be that he used a secret method to temporarily increase his strength." Han Sui saw the drawbacks at a glance.
"No wonder he looks in a trance." Ma Teng exclaimed.
"It should be the Reverse Blood Restoration Technique." Han Sui said firmly.
"I can't imagine that this Cao Hong is so crazy in order to enhance his strength." Ma Teng is also an old man, so he naturally knows this anti-blood return technique. Once this technique is performed, the lifespan will be greatly reduced.
"Now that there are still chasing soldiers in the rear, let's rush up together and deal with this Cao Hong first." Ma Teng heard the shouts of the pursuers behind him, and his heart was very anxious. Immediately rode his horse and whipped up, and rushed up, and Han Sui followed closely.
Three strong enemies besieged, and Cao Hong gradually couldn't support it. Just as Cao Hong was raising his knife to resist Han Sui, Ma Chao attacked with a shot and stabbed Cao Hong directly in the shoulder. With a spear, Cao Hong suddenly fell off his horse and passed out.
"Cao Hong is dead, you lead the army to rush out of the encirclement, and I will break the queen." When Ma Chao saw this scene, he shouted loudly and went back to support the rear.
Ma Tenghan waved his hand, and the army behind him swarmed up and fought with the enemy. Ma Teng and Han Sui ran rampant among the enemy forces and began a wanton massacre. Unexpectedly, just when the two of them were able to kill, Cao Hong, who fell to the ground, got up again and rushed towards Ma Teng with a big knife. Ma Teng hurriedly flashed back, and in a hurry, the big knife slashed at Ma Teng's left arm.
Ah~~~ With a heart-wrenching howl, Cao Hong cut off Ma Teng's left arm with this knife. Blood splattered everywhere, staining Cao Hong's eyes red. Stimulated by blood, Cao Hong's attack became even more frenzied. Cao Hong jumped up and pounced on the fallen horse. At this time, Han Sui had already come to Ma Teng's side, but Cao Hong didn't care about Han Sui who came with a knife. With a swing of the broadsword, he took Ma Teng's head.
Han Sui's big knife was getting closer and closer, and it looked like it was about to cut at Cao Hong's head. Cao Hong's eyes were firmly fixed on Ma Teng who fell to the ground, and everything else became no longer important. At the last moment, Cao Hong's body turned around and deviated by two inches. Han Sui's broadsword did not hit Cao Hong's head, but it cut off Cao Hong's left shoulder. Cao Hong took advantage of the inertia of the flutter and continued to move forward. The blood-drinking knife in his right hand slashed down diagonally, and by the time Han Sui looked back, Ma Teng was already in a different position.
At that moment, Han Sui's brain was empty. Ma Teng is Han Sui's righteous brother, who has come together through ups and downs, and his affection has long been better than his biological brother. At this time, Ma Teng died on the battlefield, how could Han Sui not be in pain, how could he not be injured.
Cao Hong's entire left shoulder was cut off by Han Sui's knife, which was naturally painful, but there was a bloodthirsty smile on his face. The smile in the blood is bound to become a shadow that Han Sui will not erase in his life.
Han Sui gritted his teeth and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, picked up the knife next to him, and rushed towards Cao Hong.
"Give my brother back!"
Cao Hong saw that Han Sui was menacing, so he didn't fight hard with him at the moment, rode a sweaty horse, turned around and ran. Han Sui was full of murderous spirit, but his mount was inferior, and he couldn't catch up with Cao Hong at all. The two chased and ran, and after a stick of incense, Han Sui was thrown off by Cao Hong. By the time Han Sui returned to Anpingye, there was only a pile of corpses left.
This super-large army of horses was attacked on three sides, and although it broke through the encirclement, it also lost more than half of it, and Ma Teng died on the battlefield. The entire Anpingye is a mountain of bones and a river of blood. The pieces of corpses, the pungent blood, were like hell on earth.
"When you fought with Cao Jun, where did you go! What were you doing when my father was fighting Cao Hong? In grief, Ma Chao sent all his anger to Han Sui.
"I also wanted to give up your father at the time, but Cao Hong would rather give up an arm. I also want to kill him, and I really can't go back to heaven in a hurry. Han Sui said sadly.
"Yes, I saw with my own eyes the bloody battle between General Han and that Cao Hong. Later, Cao Hong wanted to escape, and General Han Sui chased him out on horseback. A lieutenant general next to him said.
When Ma Chao heard this, he had to swallow the words back into his stomach. But in Ma Chao's heart, he already had deep suspicions about Han Sui. The operation was top secret, known only to a few people. Now that Cao Cao is in front of him, Ma Chao feels that this Han Sui is Cao Jun's spy.
Yuan Shu wrote a letter late at night, which deceived Ma Chao into rebelling. And Cao Cao and Zheng have the same idea, it is also a letter in the middle of the night, written to Han Sui to ask for merit and reward, but it made Han Sui lose his head.
Today's Yuzhou naturally has no Yuan Shao, no Lu Bu, and no Yuan Shu, and some are just Ma Chao who runs into walls everywhere. After two months of fleeing, Ma Chao, who had previously led an army of 60,000, had only a few thousand remnants left, and fled back to Xiliang.
In Xuchang City, Cao Cao smiled and listened to Xu Chu's report.
"Reporting to the prime minister, Ma Teng was killed by Cao Hong in Anpingye, and Han Sui was killed by Ma Chao himself. Ma Chao's first brother Ma Xiu and second brother Ma Tie were arrested by me one after another. In the past two months, the Ma family has suffered countless casualties and has collapsed. ”
"Well, now the Ma clan is left with Ma Chao and Ma Dai." Cao Cao nodded and said.
"Yes. Ma Chao's purple electric divine horse under his crotch was extremely fast, and he escaped many arrests. Now Ma Chao led 3,000 remnants of the army to flee back to Xiliang, and the last general is willing to be the vanguard and crusade against Xiliang. Xu Chu said.
"Now that Yuan Shu has not been destroyed, he can't crusade against Xiliang. The horse can't make any waves, so let him live a few more days. You are now leading 50,000 troops to support Cao Ren and strive to destroy Yuan Shu as soon as possible. When the time comes, we will wave the Xiliang again. Cao Cao said in a deep voice.
"The last will obey."
