The night was dark, and the stars and moon were dull.

To the east of Yinguan City, under a hillside twenty miles away from the outskirts of the city, the gates were erected high, the battle flags were fluttering, and the lights were bright everywhere, the soldiers who came in and out were a little chaotic, and the wails in the wounded barracks sounded one after another.

This is the barracks of the Wu army.

The camp of the Wu army after the Great War.

"Cao Xing, in today's battle, what are the casualties of our army?"

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Huang Zhong****'s upper body, sitting cross-legged in front of the bookcase, let the military doctor behind him stitch a deep visible bone scar on his back.

This is a scar left by his desperate battle with Ma Chao today.

The result of this battle was a lose-lose situation.

He almost slashed off one of Ma Chao's arms with a broadsword, and Ma Chao's spear almost cut through his armor from his back, leaving him with a scar that almost pierced his heart.

"Commander, the casualties in today's battle are about 5,000!"

Cao Xing stood in front of Huang Zhong, and when he heard Huang Zhong ask, his face suddenly became bitter, and he gave up his hand: "This battle is too ruthless, and when we get to the back, we can't stop it at all, no one can withdraw the troops, and the casualties will be consumed!" ”

"What about the Wei army?"

Huang Zhong took a deep breath and asked.

"I guess their casualties are not light!" Cao Xuan said confidently: "Judging from the battlefield, their casualty numbers are still above us, although the Northern Wolf Guard is the elite of the Wei army, but compared to the Blood Wolf Legion, the combat effectiveness is still a little worse!" ”

"The casualties are so heavy, the morale of the army will inevitably be shaken, there will be a battle tomorrow, a battle that has to be fought, you go down to appease the military spirit of the soldiers!" Huang Zhong said: "At this time, the army's morale cannot be chaotic!" ”

"No!"

Cao Xing nodded and withdrew from the middle camp.

At this time, the military doctor also stitched and bandaged Huang Zhong's back scar, and the old military camp instructed Huang Zhong to say: "Commander, Ma Chao's shot is too ruthless, it almost penetrated your body, and injured your backbone, during this time, you had better not act rashly, you need to cultivate well, otherwise you will leave the root of the disease in the future!" ”

"Thank you Army Battalion, I see!"

Huang Zhong nodded, and he didn't know if he had listened, he put on his robe, but he directly forgot the instructions of the military doctor, and asked the guards to summon the two cavalry generals under him: "Immediately let the Vermilion Bird Battalion Lu Lan, and the black armor elite rider Huang Xu come to see me!" ”

This battle is not over yet, even if Ma Chao wants to retreat, he has to teach Ma Chao a hard lesson.

"Yes!"

After a while, the guards invited the two young generals in the army in.

"The last general, Lu Lan (Huang Xu), meets the commander!"

The two of them wore battle armor and hunting cloaks, strode in, and gave a military salute to Huang Zhong respectfully.

In today's battle, they did not move.

Now it is time for these two elite cavalry to recharge.

"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while!"

Huang Zhong raised his head, hunting with tiger eyes, looking at the faces of the two, his eyes were heavy, his expression was a little rigorous, and he said directly: "In the Blood Wolf Legion, this commander uses the specifications of two divisions to raise your two cavalry, and now is the time to use you, I now order the two of you, each of you to lead the troops, before dawn, you must arrive at Yanmen Pass, can you do it?" ”

From the Wu army camp to Yanmen Pass, there are at least two hundred miles.

Traveled 200 miles in one night.

Ordinary cavalry can never do it, but the elite of these two cavalry can do it, their training is very strict, and every cavalry must have the ability to fight without sleep for three days.

"I'll make sure you do it!"

When the two heard this, they glanced at each other, without the slightest fear, but with a fighting spirit and nodded heavily.

"After dawn, you rest for an hour, and then surprise the Yanmen Pass!"

"Commander, we are cavalry, not good at attacking the city, it is okay to raid the Yanmen Pass, if we attack the city and break the Yanmen Pass, we are not confident!" Huang Xu arched his hand.

"I only let you make a surprise attack, I don't need you to break through Yanmen Pass, the strength of Yanmen Pass is 8,000, just your 6,000 cavalry, no matter how you fight, you can't break it!"

Huang Zhong said: "I only need to fight for one day, and after one day, no matter what the battle situation is, I will withdraw immediately!" ”

He wants to control the rhythm of the war, even if Ma Chao wants to retreat, the time for chasing the soldiers must be controlled by himself, how can he say that he will retreat.

"Yes!"

The eyes of the two lit up and understood what Huang Zhong meant, this is a false shot, but it must be real.

――――――――――――――――――

Following.

The Wei army camp in the city of Yinguan.

Ma Chao wore a loose robe, stood on top of a small school field in the big camp, and carefully moved his left arm that was cut by Huang Zhong, and the entire left arm was wrapped like a big radish.

Yesterday's battle was too dangerous, if he and Huang Zhong hadn't both taken it, they would have almost died in the end.

"Huang Hansheng!"

The battle intent in his eyes was surging, if he could, he still wanted to fight with Huang Hansheng, because yesterday's fierce battle made him feel a lot, and Huang Zhong seemed to be a whetstone in his eyes.

Huang Zhong is lack of blood, but whether it is skill, combat moves, or combat experience, he is far ahead of him.

"I thought I could already compete with Zhao Zilong!"

Although Ma Chao's active root bone, although his left arm was injured, he felt that the qi in his body was becoming more and more smooth, as if there was an endless cycle, and the breath became more and more powerful: "But now it seems that Huang Hansheng must be killed, and a certain family has the ability to do this!" ”

Yesterday's battle also extinguished his arrogance since he was promoted to the peak realm.

Huang Zhong can't even be killed.

Zhao Zilong, it seems that he is not an opponent yet!

"General, a letter from Taiyuan!"

General Zhang Heng walked into the school and sent a secret letter.

"Zhang Heng, have your soldiers and horses been put in order!"

Ma Chao asked in a deep voice while opening the letter.

"Report to the general, most of the soldiers have been put in order!"

Zhang Heng's face was a little unbearable, but he still pressed that compassionate heart: "But there are three hundred seriously injured soldiers, I don't plan to take them away, just stay in Yinguan City, we have to march fast, they can't keep up, and the Wu army treats them well, they won't worry about their lives!" ”

"Frustration has already arranged for the main force to retreat!"

Ma Chao looked at the letter and squinted slightly: "We don't have much time, after the first battle yesterday, compared to the Wu army that we have begun to believe that we are going to fight a bloody war, it is a good time for us to withdraw our troops, you give the order to go down, within three days, withdraw to Yanmen Pass!" ”

"No!"

Zhang Heng nodded in agreement.

"Report!" A scout rode into the camp, went straight into the school grounds, jumped off his horse, and bowed his head to Ma Chao.

"Say!" Ma Chao frowned.

"General, a letter from the general, Yanmen Pass was suddenly attacked by the Wu army this morning!"

"What?"

When Ma Chao heard this, his heart was cold, and his eyes had a hint of gloom: "Wu Jun attacked Yanmen Pass, how many soldiers and horses are there?" ”

"There are no more than 10,000 soldiers and horses!"

The scout reported: "But General Ma Yu suspects that this is just the vanguard of the Wu army, and the main force of the Wu army is approaching Yanmen Pass, and he is worried that Yanmen will be lost, so he asks the general for help!" ”

"General, the main force of the Wu army has been outside the Yin Pavilion City and has not moved!" Zhang Heng interjected and said: "Although we suffered a lot of casualties in the first battle yesterday, the casualties on the part of the Wu army were also very large, and from here it is more than two hundred miles away from Yanmen Pass, and it takes at least two days to march, even if the cavalry is not so fast, it is impossible for them to appear in Yanmen Pass!" ”

"That is, they have another main force, and they have already invested in the storming of Yanmen Pass!"

Ma Chao said: "They are planning to invest heavy troops in Bingzhou, attack my Yinguan City on the one hand, and attack Yanmen Pass on the other, we can't wait, immediately pull out the camp, and immediately withdraw troops towards Yanmen Pass!" ”

Yanmen Pass is the key to the entire Northern Wolf Guard's plan to withdraw troops to Xiliang, and it must not be lost.

"Yes!"

Zhang Heng immediately hurried to prepare to withdraw his troops.

In the afternoon, the main force of the Wei army came out of the west gate of the Yin Pavilion and quickly withdrew its troops in the direction of Yanmen Pass, marching very fast.

At night.

More than 15,000 elite soldiers and horses of the Wei army have marched to Mantou Mountain.

"General, it's been a day of marching, let the soldiers rest!" Zhang Heng looked at the dark night where he couldn't see his fingers, and said: "The night march is too much of a load on the soldiers!" ”

"Good!"

Ma Chao jumped off the horse and looked up at the surrounding mountains: "Zhang Heng, you send scouts, be careful, I always feel that this place is a little dangerous!" ”

"The general suspects that the Wu army will lay an ambush here?"

Zhang Heng glanced around, looked at the two steep hills on the left and right, and his eyes sank: "We are marching very fast, even if the soldiers and horses of the Wu army behind catch up, they will attack from behind, how can they be ambushed from here?" ”

"What if they've already calculated that we're withdrawing our troops?"

Ma Chao said: "It's better to be careful!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Heng nodded, he just wanted to send scouts to reconnoiter the Quartet, when suddenly there was a change.

Woohoo......

On the top of the two peaks around the Wei army, one torch after another was lit, and the light of these torches merged into one and rose to the sky, reflecting half of the black sky, a piece of red.

At this moment, the sky was as clear as the day.

"Kill!"

On the hills on both sides, the dense Wu army revealed their figures, and the archers took the lead in attacking, and tens of thousands of arrows poured down like a rain of arrows.

"Is there an ambush in the Wu army?"

"Be careful!"

"Ah~~~~"

"Shield soldier, hurry up and put up the shield to block the rain of arrows from the Wu army!"

The Wei army, which had just set up camp and rested, was suddenly in chaos under the attack of these arrows.

"Encircling the point to send reinforcements, fighting Yanmen is to ambush us, good strategy, good calculation!"

Ma Chao's eyes were like rainbows, looking at the surrounding pieces of Wu Jun, his heart was suddenly transparent, and there was a trace of gloom in his expression.

He turned over and got on his horse, and the spear in his right hand burst out with a field of spears, shooting down a rain of arrows: "Sons, a certain family is fighting with you, just Wu Jun, how can you trap me and wait, kill me with me!" ”

"Kill it!"

"Kill it!"

With Ma Chao as the vanguard arrow, under the leadership of the strong and incomparable, the morale of the Wei soldiers quickly recovered.

Half an hour later, the Wei army left behind more than 1,000 corpses, and with their last breath they rushed out of the Wu army's ambush circle and marched towards the pass to the west.

"General, do we need to chase?"

On the hill, Cao Xuan looked at Huang Zhong who was in a wheelchair and asked.

"Just scare and scare them, Ma Chao is so fierce, he just wants to trap the beast and fight, our casualties are too great, let him go!"

Huang Zhong looked at the departing figure with a pair of tiger eyes, and his face smiled slightly wryly: "Young is good, I firmly believe that Ma Chao's injury yesterday was not under me, but I can't stand up, at least I need to cultivate for more than a month to have combat effectiveness, but he can get on the horse and fight again in a day, he is old, not as good as a person!"
