Han De stretched out his hand to wipe the wind and frost on his face, and said to Ma Yue: "Lianghou, although the young general has intercepted the Son of Heaven and hundreds of officials, but now he has been blocked by nearly 10,000 elites of the Wu army in the Qingniu Pass, and he can't advance or retreat, and the Wu army has more than ten times the advantage of troops, the situation is very bad." ”

"Huh?"

"Is that so?"

"This sucks."

Han De's voice fell, and the generals in the tent changed color.

Ma Yue's face also became gloomy for a moment, and he asked, "What about Xu Chu's three thousand iron armor?" ”

Han Dedao: "General Xu Chu's three thousand iron cavalry has rushed to the Qingniu Pass, but was blocked by a Wu army outside the pass, unable to meet with the young general, the terrain around the Qingniu Pass is steep, the mountain road is narrow, not conducive to cavalry combat, General Xu Chu led the army to attack several times and failed to break through the defense of the Wu army!" ”

Ma Yue's face became more and more gloomy, and he was speechless for a while.

A general whispered: "It seems that if you don't send a large army to reinforce it, this battle will be very difficult to fight." ”

Immediately, a general retorted: "The Qingniu Pass is far away at the junction of Runan and Lujiang, and it is seven or eight hundred miles away from Xuchang. ”

The atmosphere in the tent was a little solemn, Han De plucked up his courage and continued: "Lianghou, the young general has killed Sun Jian's eldest son Sun Ce, and severely injured Zhou Yu, the governor of the Eastern Wu Naval Army, before leaving, Mr. Fa Zheng repeatedly told the villain, saying that Sun Jian suddenly suffered the pain of losing his son, and he would definitely do his best to take revenge from the Eastern Wu army, the Son of Heaven, the hundred officials, the major general and more than 3,000 soldiers of the Liang Army are already in danger, please Liang Hou quickly send troops to rescue!" ”

"Oh?"

"The young general actually beheaded Sun Ce?"

"Sun Ce is known as the little overlord, and he is also a tiger general."

"Who said no, but if he met the major general, he would be unlucky."

As soon as Han De's words came out, the generals in the tent began to talk to each other, and their expressions were full of excitement.

"My lord." Jia Xu took two steps forward and hugged his fists, "So it's better to get up and go south as soon as possible, otherwise, not only will the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials gain and lose, but I'm afraid that even the young general and General Xu Chu will be in danger!" The major general is the leader of the Liang army, if there is a mistake, the morale of the army will be greatly damaged! ”

Ma Yue's face was cloudy, and he began to pace back and forth in the tent with his hands behind his back.

This is another difficult choice, whether to stay behind and completely trap Cao Ying, or to raise troops to rescue Ma Chao?

Ma Yue regards Cao Ying as a big trouble, and his fear of Cao Ying has reached the point of almost neuroticism, and the sentence "You have to see people in life, and you have to see dead corpses when you die" shows how deep Ma Yue's jealousy of Cao Ying is! But the gains and losses of the Son of Heaven are equally important, especially Ma Chao, who must be saved, Ma Yue will never watch Ma Chao die in the Qingniu Pass.

Seeing death and not saving is definitely not the style of the Liangzhou Legion, let alone the style of the horse butcher!

The general Gao Shun took a step forward suddenly, hugged his chest with one hand and said solemnly: "Although the lord is relieved to lead the army south, the siege of Xuchang has been completed, and the Cao army has no power to return to the sky, and the last general only needs 20,000 elite soldiers in the headquarters to trap Cao Ying in the dead city, if the matter fails, the last general is willing to accept the military law." ”

Ma Yue couldn't help but look sideways.

Gao Shunsheng's surname is steady, and he never speaks arrogantly, but as long as it is what he says, he will definitely be able to do it! Ma Yue has always been very relieved of Gao Shun, Gao Shun feels like a mountain, usually the nest is inconspicuous, it looks like a big lump, but when it comes to needing it, it is an insurmountable barrier in front of the enemy!

The generals held their breath one after another, staring at Ma Yue in unison, the silence in the big tent was suffocating, only the sound of the wind calling outside the tent could be heard clearly, as if it had been a long time and as if it had only been a moment, Ma Yue suddenly turned around and said in a deep voice: "Where is Ma Dai?" ”

Ma Dai hurriedly stepped forward and responded with his fists clenched: "The younger brother is here, what does the eldest brother command?" ”

Ma Yue said: "Lead 5,000 iron cavalry as the vanguard, march lightly, and go straight to the Qingniu Pass!" ”

"Yes!"

Ma Dai agreed and went excitedly.

Ma Yue's eyes flashed, and he said, "Where is Gan Ning?" ”

Gan Ning stepped forward and replied sharply: "The end will be!" ”

Ma Yue said: "The officers and soldiers of the navy are all southerners, more accustomed to the climate of the south than the Xiliang soldiers, and more accustomed to mountain warfare, this battle with the Wu army is not to fight with the enemy in the plain area, but to fight fiercely in the mountains and mountains, so the general's 10,000 naval army will be the main force, the so-called health thousand days, from time to time, this battle depends on the performance of the naval army!" ”

Gan Ning said excitedly: "Please rest assured, the navy will never be dishonored." ”

"Hmm." Ma Yue nodded and said, "In order to speed up the march, Gu decided to transfer 20,000 war horses from the cavalry team to supply the navy, and the general immediately led the navy to the south on horseback, and it was necessary to rush to the Qingniu Pass before Sun Jian's army arrived, and rescue the Son of Heaven, the hundred officials and the trapped Xiliang soldiers at all costs!" ”

"The last general commands" Gan Ning said sonorously, "Even if the navy dies and only the last general is left, he will swear to rescue the young general and welcome back the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials!" ”

Ma Yue said to Xu Huang again: "General Xu Huang! ”

Xu Huang hurriedly stepped forward, hugged his fists and said, "The end will be." ”

Ma Yue said: "Leading the 3,000 iron cavalry to escort the pack horse team to transport military rations, and it must be transported to the vicinity of the Qingniu Pass before the dry rations carried by the forward iron cavalry and the naval soldiers are exhausted, and there must be no mistake!" ”

Xu Huang said: "The last general takes the order!" ”

Ma Yue let out a long breath and slowly turned his head to look at Jia Xu.

Without waiting for Ma Yue to speak, Jia Xu had already preemptively said: "Lord, this battle is very important, and our army is far away, and it may be difficult to sustain if the grain and grass are not available, and the Wu army is waiting for work and fighting at home, the prospects of our army are not optimistic. ”

Ma Yue originally wanted to leave Jia Xu to assist Gao Shun, but when he saw Jia Xu say this, he nodded his head and agreed, after all, in Ma Yue's opinion, Cao Ying's threat was the greatest, but in Jia Xu's opinion, Ma Yue's safety was the most important.

In this case, Jia Xu, as a military advisor with the army, of course he would not rest assured that Ma Yue would lead the army alone.

Ma Yue had no choice but to turn his gaze to Li Su and said, "Ziyan." ”

Li Su stepped out of the ranks, hugged his fists and said, "Lord." ”

Ma Yue advised: "Before the three armies of the three armies won the battle of the two armies, Yuanhe (Gao Shun table) did not lose Cao Ying, set up tricks and strategized, Yuan He was not as good as Cao Ying, after the army led by the army to leave, Zi Dang devoted himself to assisting Yuanhe and being cautious against the enemy, and never let Cao Ying's tricks succeed, so that the success was successful." ”

[The horse butcher lacks a mastermind, and Li Su, a lobbyist, is used as a military advisor.] ]

Li Su waved his hand and said solemnly: "Dare not obey your fate." ”

Only then did Ma Yue say to Jia Xu: "Wen He should go out with the soldiers of the Lone Navy. ”

Jia Xu said: "Xu takes orders." ”

……

Ten days later.

The last day of the tenth year of Emperor Jian'an of the Han Dynasty (197 years) finally passed, and the time quietly came to the spring of the eleventh year of Jian'an.

……

Outside the Qingniu Pass, Pan Zhang's military camp.

Hearing that Sun Jian personally led the army to come, Pan Zhang hurriedly led the lieutenant general of the army out of the gate to greet him, and saw Sun Jian driving from a distance, Pan Zhang and the lieutenant general hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, knelt down in the snow, and cried: "Lord, the last general is incompetent, failed to protect the son, and the last general deserves to die~~"

If you really want to talk about it, Pan Zhang, as a general with the army, Sun Ce does have an unshirkable responsibility for his death, and it is not an exaggeration for Sun Jian to behead him because of this, but Sun Jian is also a generation of heroes after all, and his bearing and tolerance are by no means inferior to the other two heroes in the world.

"Wen Qi (Pan Zhang's table), please get up, generals, please get up."

Sun Jian's expression was like iron, but his tone was full of unreserved trust and tolerance: "Bo Fu's death is the will of heaven, what does it have to do with the generals?" ”

"Lord!" Pan Zhang burst into tears, and began to grit his teeth for a long time and said, "Please rest assured, the last general will swear to kill Ma Chao and avenge the blood hatred of the son." ”

"Good!" Sun Jian patted Pan Zhang's shoulder heavily, and said in a condensed voice, "The general is fighting hard to kill the enemy in the front, and he is alone in the back to beat the drum for you personally!" ”

Sun Jian was so vengeful that he was not willing to rest and wait for the next day to attack.

Pan Zhang's face flashed a trace of violent convulsions, Huo Ran turned around and shouted to the dozen or so Shanyue generals behind him: "Beat the drum and count the soldiers, prepare to fight~~"

"Woo woo~~"

The long and long sound of the horn resounded through the empty valley in an instant, like a golden iron horse crisscrossing and closing, and the tragic killing atmosphere gradually rose with the sound of the horn.

……

On the pass, Ma Chao barracks.

"Is it finally coming?"

Ma Chao's five fingers of his right hand clenched tightly in the handguard, only to hear a click, and the hardwood with the thickness of the bowl mouth was crushed by Ma Chao like a cucumber.

Fa Zheng tightened his hands in his sleeves, blew off a piece of flying snow that fell on the torn cotton jacket, and said indifferently: "It's almost time to come." ”

"Woo woo woo ......"

Fa Zheng's voice fell, and the Wu army camp north of the pass also sounded the sound of horns, and then the Liang army camp and the three Cao army camps on the north side also sounded the horns, and in less than a moment, the valley at the northern foot of the pass had horns sounding in unison, resounding in the sky.

"Filial piety." Ma Chao looked sideways at Fa Zheng and said in a condensed voice, "General Ben is responsible for the defense of the south, and the Wu army in the north will be handed over to you!" ”

Fa Zheng said casually: "Although I can't go into battle to kill the enemy, I also have the strength to cheer for the soldiers." ”

"Hahaha." Ma Chao looked up to the sky and laughed three times, turned around and shouted to the soldiers behind him, "Order, blow the trumpet and order the soldiers!" ”

……

Xu Chu's camp, three thousand iron cavalry has been assembled.

Xu Chu was wearing heavy armor, stepped on his mount majestically, raised his arms and shouted: "Brothers, since the lord formed the heavy armor iron cavalry, we are invincible and invincible!" The Han officers and soldiers are majestic enough, right? What about the Xianbei Iron Rider? The 23rd Kwantung Coalition Army is not worth mentioning, how many enemies have fallen under our iron hooves, today, we still have to let the group of Jiangdong native dogs on the opposite side learn what is the real elite, what is the real ironclad cavalry! ”

This is a completely butcher-style pre-war mobilization!

Xu Chusheng's surname is Mu Ne, he is not good at trickery, he is not good at commanding the three armies, but under the study of his heart, he has learned the set of rhetoric of the horse butcher to boost morale, compared with the horse butcher, of course, it is slightly less fire, but it is enough to provoke the fierce murderous spirit of three thousand iron horsemen.

"The young general's eight hundred iron cavalry is in front, they are facing nearly 10,000 elite Wu army from the north and south, the situation is critical, we must not watch the young general fall into a desperate situation, brothers, pick up your courage, even if it is to hit with a war horse, even if it is to use your head to top, you will smash the camp of the Wu army and flatten it!"

"Whew~"

"Whew~"

"Whew~"

The three thousand iron horsemen slapped the breastplate frantically with the back of the saber, and one by one they howled like wolves, and the scorching killing machine had already ignited in the eyes of every iron cavalry soldier like a raging fire, they were like three thousand steppe wolves that smelled blood, and they had opened their bloody mouths, revealing their fangs of Leng Sensen.

"Khooth!"

Xu Chu gently pulled down the grimace mask on the iron helmet, and then looked back at Chen Zhi and said: "General Chen Zhi, from now on the cavalry will be under your command, this general will lead five hundred heavy armor as the vanguard, after the heavy armor iron cavalry crashes through the camp fence, he will lead the cavalry to rush into the Wu army village, and break through the Wu army's blockade at all costs, even if you are the only one left in the final battle, you must rush to the pass to meet the young general!" ”

Chen Zhi clenched his fists and said: "The last general will take the order!" ”

……

To the north of the Qingniu Pass, Tai Shi Ci camp.

Tai Shi Ci summoned the two lieutenant generals to the front, and commanded in a deep voice: "The lord has personally led the army to the south of the pass, our army's attack on the Qingniu Pass is about to begin, the general is determined to lead two thousand elite infantry from the north foot to attack the pass, in order to cooperate with the offensive of the lord's army, after the general leads the army to attack, the Liang army iron cavalry behind him will definitely take advantage of the situation to attack, you must stop the onslaught of the Liang army iron cavalry at all costs, before the Liang army in the pass is completely annihilated, it is absolutely not allowed to let the Liang army come over!" ”

The two generals clasped their fists and said: "Please rest assured that the general will not be dishonored." ”

Tai Shi Ci nodded heavily, and was about to point the spear in his hand forward, looking up to the sky and shouting: "Attack~~"

"Kill, kill, kill~~"

The elite three calls of the two thousand Wu troops, who had already been waiting for them, responded and swept up to the pass after following Taishi Cima.

……

Pass, before the camp of the Liang army.

Two hundred elite cavalry have been assembled and standby, and Ma Chao rode slowly in front of the cavalry, riding a spear in his hand (the wolf spear is gone, and he casually found a riding spear for ordinary cavalry. Knocked from the two hundred high-pitched horse chopping knives one by one, in the crisp and pleasant sound of gold and iron impact, the departure ceremony of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry has been completed.

Ma Chao stopped at the horse, slowly turned the spear sideways, and pointed to the sky.

The horns outside the pass sounded in unison, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the footsteps of the soldiers of the Wu army marched forward came movingly, but there was a strange silence on the pass, only the sound of Ma Chao's gold and iron echoed with the whistling north wind, revealing a palpitating coldness: "Xiliang Iron Cavalry has never defended, only attack, attack, and attack again!" ”

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

"Attack!"

Two hundred iron horsemen raised their sabers and responded with three shouts.

Ma Chao turned around, under the pass, Pan Zhang was leading hundreds of elite soldiers from Shanyue to rush up, and suddenly, the corners of Ma Chao's mouth had bloomed with a trace of cold murderous intent, and the spear in his hand was drawn forward, looking up to the sky and shouting: "Attack~~"

……

Runan Plain.

"Drive!"

Ma Dai is leading 5,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry to the south at full speed, Ma Dai is worried about his brother Ma Chao's comfort, and he can't wait to put on his wings and fly to the Qingniu Pass, the sweat and blood BMW under his crotch have already run out of breath, Ma Dai is still urging the horse to gallop, and even whipping the horse with a whip.

"Drive!"

Ma Dai whipped on the horse's stock again, the crotch mount galloped under the pain, the snow under his feet fell back like a tide, looking up, the majestic outline of the mountain in front of him was already faintly visible, in a trance, Ma Dai imagined the situation of Ma Chao fighting bravely to kill the enemy.

Brother, you must hold on, the little brother is here to save you!

"Hah!" Ma Dai whipped the horse again, turned around and shouted, "Hurry, hurry up!" ”
