Let's ignore the ambush soldier in Nanzhong, when the Shu Han army attacked Wuguan, Dai Gang, who was still besieging the city, also got the news and knew the bad news of the betrayal of his allies. However, seeing that Chen Liujiancheng was not going down in a few days, but he had to leave the battle circle, Dai Gang's mood can be imagined.

In this way, Jia Kui of Puyang on the north bank was overjoyed, and with Dai Gang retreated, there was also a naval army of Ganning ravaging the Yellow River, after all, as soon as the friendly troops on the road retreated, it was difficult for a naval army to penetrate deep into the hinterland. As soon as Gan Ning retreated, the traffic on both sides of the Yellow River in Wei was always opened.

As early as when Cao Hong was defending Mount Tai, Ganning's navy went upstream, destroying the ports along the coast, especially the military port, and the Yellow River navy of Wei was completely annihilated in just two battles with it, resulting in the entire Yellow River from the east of the river to the mouth of the sea was occupied by the Wu navy. The immediate consequence was that Jia Kui was unable to form an effective appeal with Cao Hong, who was left behind, in Puyang.

In fact, Ganning's sailors did not have the ability to blockade the Yellow River, but the Wei navy was annihilated, and the benefits of the Yellow River were lost. To cross the river, there must be boats, how can such a large-scale boat dispatch be concealed from Gan Ning, only Gan Ning came to interfere when the Wei army crossed the river, how could the Wei army have to shed its skin, so Jia Kui did not dare to cross the river to support Cao Hong, resulting in Chen Liu was almost broken by Dai Gang.

But now it's okay, as soon as Dai Gang retreated, Gan Ning had to retreat to the Bohai Generation, and then Jia Kui crossed the Yellow River with an army of 30,000 on the north bank to rescue Chen Liu, but it was not appropriate to say that it was rescue, and as soon as Dai Gang retreated, Cao Hong did not need to be rescued. But it's not a new force.

Cao Hong, who was rescued, did not rush to pursue Dai Gang, because he knew that although Dai Gang retreated, it was only because he was forced by the situation and not because there was some internal problem, and if he pursued at this time, he would definitely be ambushed. And Cao Hong will not fall into the trap, but Cao Hong is not without any action, after Chen Liu's siege, the Wei army of about 50,000 people is still fighting on the south bank. With a wave of his hand, Cao Hong and Jia Kui led an army of 30,000 to the east to attack the Bohai Sea line, in order to repel Zhuge Jin's army. And Man Pet led the army to push the battle line from the new to the front line of Qianjun, and roughly asked to restore the pre-war defense line.

For Wu Guo's heart, Cao Hong thought clearly that the eastern front was the interests of Huaisi, and the western front was the interests of Jiangzuo. The surprise attack of Shu Han seriously threatened the interests of the Wu State in Jingxiang, that is, the interests of the Jiangzuo family. Don't look at most of the famous generals of Wu State are Huaisi people, but most of the civil officials who are in charge of money and grain are Jiangzuo, and it is impossible for the imperial court of Jianye to tilt the material to the eastern front at this juncture. Therefore, even if Dai Gang was unwilling, he would spit out some of the occupied cities in order to seek a shorter supply line. This is the arrangement of Cao Hong to send full favors to the south to rob the city, and Cao Hong does not dare to say that it is first-class to fight a war. But when it comes to entanglements of interests, Cao Hong is the top.

Compared with the tacit understanding between Wu and Wei on the Eastern Front, there is no tacit understanding between the two former allies on the Western Front. Xicheng County, Xicheng County, Xincheng County has been divided into three since it was incorporated into the arms of Wu State, and it has been transformed into three counties in the east. Xicheng County, on the other hand, is the territory of the heart. However, Ma Chao still focused his attention here, Ma Chao was the one in the three-way army to be close to the west. His army was formed by the cavalry of the Governor against the Han army in Hanzhong. Naturally, the target is the three eastern counties. Zhuge Liang's Chinese army was besieging Wuguan, Zhao Yun's army was also building near Shangluo, and Zhang Fei was leading the army to look at the wind in Hangu.

At this moment, on the road leading to Xicheng, a cavalry of three cadres was rushing under the leadership of Ma Dai.

The total number of Wu troops stationed in Xicheng County was less than 8,000. Nearly half of them are distributed in all key passes, and only about 4,000 people are stationed in the west of the administrative center.

Xicheng is a well-known fortified city in Hanzhong, and although the Han army is ready for a long-term siege, Ma Chao still wants to try it. With the help of the cavalry's mobility ability, they raided and took Xicheng, so there was Ma Dai's surprise attack force.

When the sky was overcast, the silhouette of the West City loomed in the faint morning mist in the faint light of dawn. Everything was so calm, as if only this army was moving.

Ma Dai stood on his horse for a moment, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, so he spurred his horse and urged his cavalry to speed forward.

The horse's hooves galloped, and in a blink of an eye, it was less than a mile away from Pingyang City, at this time, the light of the rising sun dispelled the faint morning mist, and the entire Xicheng was in full view.

It can be vaguely seen that the drawbridge has been lowered, the city gate has been opened, and several dazed old soldiers are carrying buckets and brooms, and they are powerlessly sweeping the city gate avenue, and they seem to be unaware of the enemies who are rushing not far away.

Ma Dai was pleasantly surprised, it seemed that the target of his sneak attack was completely unaware that the threat was near, what he needed to do was to lead his elite cavalry, seize the city gate by surprise, and enter the city, Pingyang City would be under control, it was that simple.

Brethren, whoever kills with me, the first man in the city, will be rewarded! ”

Ma Dai waved the big knife in his hand, roaring and motivating the soldiers, those athletes from Xiliang did not feel that their blood was boiling, for money, for honor, they were already surging with killing intent, urging the war horses under their crotches, and rushed towards Pingyang City.

Ma Dai stayed on the horse for a while, and after motivating his subordinates with lofty words and lures, he led the Chinese army and galloped forward with the rest of the front.

Four hundred steps, three hundred steps, two hundred steps, one hundred steps...... The city gates were still wide open, the drawbridge had not yet been pulled up, and the veterans of the sweep did not realize until the enemy cavalry approached in front of them, and they ran to the city in panic, shouting and raising the alarm, but it was too late, and the lightning-fast cavalry could pass by in the blink of an eye and kill the enemy before closing the city gates.

In the blink of an eye, the more than 100 Han riders in the lead were only thirty steps away from the suspension bridge.

At this moment, an earth-shaking rumbling sound was suddenly heard, and in front of the suspension bridge, a huge pit seven or eight zhang wide suddenly collapsed.

The first Han cavalry was caught off guard, and there was no time to stop the horse's hooves, driven by inertia, you pushed me and fell into the pit. The pit was four or five feet deep, and it was full of barbs, and the men and horses fell from a great place like this, and they were immediately thrust into the sticks. Almost instantly, hundreds of cavalrymen were inexplicably killed under the barbs.

Due to the momentum is too strong, the subsequent Han cavalry continues to fall into the pit, although the barbs have been filled, but the people and horses that fall before and after collide with each other and squeeze, and when the cavalry behind finally stops the pace, there are almost three or four hundred people in the pit, most of the dead and wounded, and the living ones are crawling and howling in the bones of people and horses, a miserable state.

Thousands of Han riders, just like this, were blocked on the edge of the pit in front of the suspension bridge, and the momentum stopped, and the formation was completely empty, just blocked there in a chaotic manner and could not move.

Ma Dai, who came from behind, saw this situation, and was glad that he was not reckless in the lead, otherwise he would have died in the pit, when he suddenly heard a cannon sound on the head of the city, which was originally empty, and suddenly the banner was wide and the Wu army was densely covered with hundreds of Wu troops, and the arrows and crossbows with the smirk of death were looking at them proudly.

"Oh no, it's a trick, get out of here!" Ma Dai was shocked, roared, turned around and left.

The Wu army, which had been prepared for a long time, could not let these enemies sent to the door escape so easily, and with the sound of drums in the city, a dense rain of arrows poured down.

Even if the cavalry collides with the crossbowmen in the field, they can only give full play to the advantage of mobility, adopt mobile and roundabout tactics, and launch a surprise attack on the enemy's weak point at the right time, and once the enemy adjusts the formation and quickly sends a counterattack with the crossbowmen, then the cavalry can only take the advantage of speed and immediately withdraw the range of the crossbow.

But now, the Wu army's crossbowmen were condescending and had a wide field of vision, while the Han army's cavalry was chaotically crowded in front of the moat less than thirty paces from the city's head, and they had lost their speed.

A round of arrows rained down, and the more than 100 Han troops at the forefront were unlucky to die under the arrows, and a large number of Han troops reacted, and the horses fled with his main general, and when their speed increased, hundreds of people were shot to the ground.

The three cavalry cadres lost more than 1,000 people in the blink of an eye, and the morale of the army has collapsed. However, the Wu army in the city was not satisfied with repelling the enemy, and with the shouts of killing, a cavalry of more than 500 people rushed out of the city and chased after the defeated army.

And the commander of the cavalry was Ling Tong, who was supposed to be in Fancheng, but his appearance in Xicheng at this time was enough to prove that Ma Chao's strategy was a little bit worse. (To be continued......)
