Xingyang City Head.

Zhu Huan finally recovered from the huge shock, and suddenly pulled out his sword and slashed it on the giant shield of a personal soldier beside him, making a loud noise, which instantly attracted the attention of the nearby Jiangdong soldiers, and Zhu Huan snorted loudly: "Brothers, don't be afraid, no matter how powerful the Xiliang cavalry is, can it still rush to the city?" ”

Ling Ying also let out a sigh of relief, waving his strong arms and roaring, "Yes, General Zhu Huan is right!" We have a strong city to defend, afraid of him a bird? Prime Minister Cao Cheng and General Yuan will soon lead hundreds of thousands of troops to kill, and no matter how good the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is, they will still be killed by the Kwantung Coalition Army? ”

"Roar~~"

Zhu Huan raised his sword and roared.

"Roar Roar Roar~~"

The elite soldiers of Jiangdong on the city tower recovered their fighting spirit from fear and responded with three calls.

……

Outside the city of Xingyang.

"It's kind of interesting." A faint smile flashed at the corner of Ma Yue's mouth, and he said to Jia Xu beside him: "Sun Jian is worthy of being a Jiangdong tiger, and the Jiangdong soldiers brought out are not soft-footed shrimps. ”

Jia Xu stroked his long beard under his chin, and said with a sad smile: "No matter how strong Jiangdong soldiers are, Sun Jian is just a martial artist!" So easy to get the snake out of the hole, haha......"

"From tomorrow onwards, there will no longer be the Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian among the princes of the world." Ma Yue nodded, raised his right arm and waved it forward casually, and said indifferently, "Siege." ”

Behind Ma Yue, Dian Wei slammed the blood-colored wolf flag in his hand into the air, and howled sharply: "The lord has an order, start attacking the city!" ”

"The lord has an order, start the siege!"

"The lord has an order, start the siege!"

Ma Yue's military order was quickly conveyed and reached the rear army.

Suddenly, the long and long horn sound rushed into the sky, accompanied by the continuous sound of the horn, the originally black and dense Xiliang cavalry formation suddenly cracked from the middle.

……

Xingyang City Head.

Ling Ying took another breath of cold air and said to Zhu Huan beside him, "General Zhu Huan, what ...... What the hell is that? ”

Zhu Huan's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression looked extremely solemn, and he said in a condensed voice after a while: "Could it be the heavy-armored iron horse that Prime Minister Cao Cheng once mentioned?" ”

"Heavy ...... Heavy armor iron horseman? Ling Ying's eyes widened and he said, "What is that?" ”

Zhu Huan's thick eyebrows slowly frowned, and he said in a deep voice: "No matter how powerful the heavy armor iron horse is, can it really collapse the city wall?" ”

……

Outside the city of Xingyang.

With the sound of the horn, a group of swarthy cavalry crossed the formation and entered a stone's throw away from the west gate of Xingyang.

In the howling north wind, the Jiangdong soldiers at the head of Xingyang City were horrified to find that these cavalry were far taller and stronger than the Western Liang cavalry behind them (Western Regions Horses), and all the cavalry and horses were wrapped in heavy iron armor, and even the faces of the cavalry and war horses were covered with cold grimace masks.

[Regarding the marching and combat methods of the heavy armored cavalry, here is one last explanation: the heavy armored cavalry does not wear heavy armor when marching, and the heavy armor and weapons equipped are carried by special pack horses, and only before the battle begins, the heavy armored cavalry will put on heavy armor with the help of squires and prepare for battle. ]

The sound of the trumpet abruptly stopped, and there was a dead silence inside and outside the city.

The howling north wind and the snorting sound of the war horses from time to time further set off the solemn aura of the battlefield, and the sky and earth were filled with suffocating cold killing machines.

"Whew......"

In the suffocating silence, a loud and furious howl resounded through the sky, and suddenly an ironclad chariot pulled by ten healthy horses appeared ghostly behind the Xiliang cavalry array, and on both sides of the ironclad chariot stretched out four thick, long, sharpened ramshells wrapped in iron sheets.

The ironclad ramming car rolled forward along the passage that the Xiliang cavalry had given way just now, and finally stopped in a semicircle along the phalanx of the heavily armored ironclad cavalry in a semicircle.

A big man covered in iron armor, as tall as an iron tower, jumped down from the iron chariot, and when his feet landed, there was a dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and the giant man was carrying a heavy meteor hammer in his hand, and his muscular arms were wrapped around a circle of black iron chains, which made people feel a chill.

……

Xingyang City Head.

"Oh my God." Ling Ye hissed, "Is this guy a human or a ghost?" ”

Zhu Huan's face changed again and again, and he said in a condensed voice, "What does this guy want to do?" ”

Under the frightened gaze of Jiang Dongbing, the tower-like giant man came to the west gate of Xingyang step by step, and the meteor hammer in his hand took the giant man's right hand as the center of the circle, and began to roar and circle, and in an instant, the giant man was like carrying a huge and dark rotating giant shield in his hand.

"Shoot the arrows!" Zhu Huan shouted coldly, "Don't let this guy get close, shoot him!" ”

"Woo Woo ......"

Dozens of Jiangdong archers at the same time pulled their bows and arrows and shot at the giant man, most of these arrows hit the giant man's tower-like body, but they were bounced away by the heavy iron armor, and they couldn't stop his advance at all, and in less than a moment, the giant man walked under the suspension bridge hanging high.

"Assert ......"

Under the frightened and desperate eyes of all the Jiangdong soldiers, the whistling and circling meteor hammer in his hand was suddenly thrown out, and the sound of the iron chain dragging "lala" resounded inside and outside the city in an instant, and the heavy meteor hammer drew a dark trajectory in the air and swept across the cable on the left corner of the suspension bridge.

"Poof."

The chain that held the Meteor Hammer slammed into the cable, and the heavy Meteor Hammer suddenly changed the direction of its flight and spun back to wrap the rope tightly.

"Truly...... Roar! ”

There was another strange laugh, and the giant man suddenly turned around and put the chain that held the Meteor Hammer on his shoulder, and then raised his head and let out a loud roar, and the left cable that tied the suspension bridge suddenly tightened, and let out a piercing rattling sound, as if he could not withstand the huge pulling force, and could break at any time.

"Whoa......"

The Xiliang cavalry standing outside Xingyang City lined up and shouted, cheering for the giant man, the giant man's expression was greatly lifted, and he struggled to take three steps forward, and the tight left cable was broken with a buzz. After breaking the cable on the left side, the giant man looked like a frenzy, and swung the meteor hammer again to wrap around the cable on the right.

"Not good!" Zhu Huan yelled, "This guy is going to break the cable, stop him quickly......"

However, it was already too late.

As soon as Zhu Huan's voice fell, the suspended suspension bridge had already fallen with a bang, slamming heavily on the bridge pier, raising smoke and dust in the sky. The 30,000 Xiliang Iron Riders outside the city roared even faster when they saw this, and the huge sound was about to shatter the long sky. With a deafening roar, the ironclad crash cart drawn by ten healthy horses at the same time began to rumble forward, rushing straight towards the closed gate.

……

Xingyang City Head.

"Fire oil, pour fire oil!"

"Shoot them with arrows!"

"Rolling wood and rocks, what are you doing stupidly, quickly throw the stones down and smash this damn crashing car, quick~~"

Zhu Huan and Ling Ying roared angrily, inspiring the Jiangdong soldiers to put up the last resistance, but it was in vain, the ironclad crash car was too strong, and the speed was too fast, long before the rolling log and stones on the city head fell in large numbers, the rumbling front ironclad crash car had already rushed across the drawbridge and crashed into the city gate.

The small walls of Xingyang City are short, and the fortification of the city is actually not much stronger than that of Wubao.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the closed city gate collapsed, and the remaining ironclad crash car crashed into the city furiously, knocking down the Jiangdong soldiers who were crowded in the city gate corridor and trying to carry the chariot with their bodies, and then ruthlessly ran over the Jiangdong soldiers and rumbled into Xingyang City.

"Whew......"

The giant man looked like crazy, and the meteor hammer in his hand was fiercely led forward, and the eight hundred heavily armored iron horsemen suddenly swept towards Xingyang City like the wind and clouds, and farther away, Ma Yue made a move, and the 30,000 Xiliang Iron Horsemen quickly began to detour to the north and south wings of Xingyang City, preparing to intercept and kill the remnants of Jiangdong who abandoned the city and fled.

……

The south bank of the river (Yellow River).

Cheng Pu led the cavalry team to rescue Qiao Rui first, and Zhou Tai and Jiang Qinzheng led the follow-up infantry to respond.

"Report ......" When Zhou Taizheng was urging the soldiers to march quickly, a fast horse suddenly galloped from the direction of the road, "General, something is wrong, something is wrong!" ”

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin hurriedly urged the horse to meet them, and shouted in unison: "What's wrong?" ”

Came to ride blood-stained clothes, wearing a few arrows, and when he ran in front of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, he was exhausted, and fell off the horse, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin hurriedly ordered people to rescue, and it took a long time for the soldier to turn around, and said to the two with a sad expression: "Two generals, it's over, it's all over!" ”

"!" Zhou Tai roared, "What's over? ”

The soldier said sadly: "Xingyang! Xingyang is over! The three thousand brothers, and the five thousand brothers of General Hashirui, were all killed in battle, woo woo woo ......"

"What!?" Zhou Tai was stunned and shouted, "What about Zhu Huan and Ling Ying? ”

The soldier said gloomily: "Both generals are also killed in battle, woo woo woo ......"

"Huh?" Jiang Qin said miserably, "Zhu Huan and Ling Ying are dead? ”

"Report ......" Jiang Qin's voice fell, and a fast horse galloped in front of him, "Two generals, it's not good." ”

Zhou Tai's heart was on fire, and he stepped forward and shouted, "What's going on again?" ”

Lai Cavalry rushed to Zhou Tai before he stopped and said sadly: "The two generals, General Cheng Pu and General Qiao Rui, have been ambushed in the dense forest ahead, and the brothers of the cavalry have all been killed!" The three generals Cheng Pu, Chen Wu, and Dong Xi were all killed, and General Qiao Rui was also captured alive by the enemy general Ma Chaosheng. ”

"What!" Zhou Tailian heard the bad news, his mind was confused, and he said sharply, "How can this be? ”

"Report ......" Zhou Tai roared angrily, and another fast horse galloped over, and said sharply, "General, a large group of cavalry was found thirty miles away, and they were rushing over here. ”

Jiang Qin asked, "How many cavalry are there?" ”

The scout replied, "There are tens of thousands of horsemen." ”

"Ten thousand rides?" Jiang Qin was taken aback and said to Zhou Tai, "Youping (Zhou Taibiao), what should I do now?" ”

Zhou Tai gritted his teeth and said: "What else can I do, fight the fuck!" ”

"No, Youping." Jiang Qin hurriedly persuaded, "We only have less than 5,000 foot soldiers in total, and the terrain here is conducive to cavalry assault, and if we fight hard, we will definitely lose." ”

Zhou Taihuo said: "Then what do you say to do?" ”

Jiang Qin pondered for a moment, and Huo Ran said: "Not far north of here is the river, the brothers are familiar with the surname Shui, but the Xiliang cavalry are all northerners, and they may not know the surname Shui, and the terrain of the river beach is not conducive to cavalry assault, so we might as well retreat to the river to fight this battle with them." ”

"Okay." Zhou Tai didn't think about it, and said loudly, "That's it." ”

……

Xingyang City Head.

Ma Yue and Jia Xu stood with their hands in their hands.

Jia Xu said to Ma Yue with regret: "The young general has returned, and the five thousand Jiangdong soldiers led by Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin actually escaped by swimming in the water, and such a good opportunity failed to cut off all Sun Jian's soldiers and horses in Xingyang, which can be described as a pity, and it is a pity that Sun Jian is not in Xingyang City." ”

"Wen He blames himself." Ma Yue said in a sullen voice, "The so-called people are not as good as the sky, this time even if Sun Jian's life is great." ”

"My lord." As soon as Ma Yue's words fell, Xu Chu rushed up to the city tower and shouted, "Two enemy generals were found in the captives. ”

"Huh?" Ma Yue's expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "Bring it up." ”

Xu Chu turned his head and made a gesture of his hand, and shouted, "Bring it up." ”

In the shouting and scolding, the two Jiangdong warriors were pushed to the city by the wolf-like Liangzhou soldiers, Ma Yue looked fixedly, only to see that the two generals were hideous and covered in blood, obviously many Liangzhou soldiers died under their hands in the melee just now, and Ma Yue's eyes became clear in an instant.

"What's your name?"

"Grandpa doesn't change his surname, he doesn't change his name, Wu Jun Zhu Huan is also!"

"Uncle Yu Hang Ling."

"Zhu Huan, Ling Ying?" Ma Yue said coldly, "Are you willing to surrender?" ”

Ling Ying looked at him angrily and shouted: "Be your mother's big dream of Qingqiu." ”

"Ambitious." Ma Yue waved his hand coldly and said, "Push down, behead!" ”

"Yes."

The tiger-wolf-like Liangzhou soldiers suddenly agreed, and pushed Zhu Huan and Ling Ying, who were silent, downstairs, and in less than a moment, the executioner presented two bloody human heads.

……

Outside the city of Xuchang.

Yuan Shuzheng led all the princes and the civil and military generals under his command to see Sun Jian off.

Yuan Shu grabbed Sun Jian's arms and said reluctantly: "Wentai, after arriving in Xingyang, remember to repair the city walls, deep ditches and high barriers, and never attack without authorization." If the Xiliang army is attacked, I should report it quickly, and I should personally bring the army to help, and fight to the death with the horse. ”

Sun Jian's eyes were scorching, and he stared at Yuan Shu and said, "General, don't worry, you can get it." ”

"Report ......" Sun Jian was about to beat the horse and leave, when a fast horse suddenly galloped in front of him, and the terrible long howl was terrifying, "Xingyang urgent report!" ”

"Xingyang?"

"Xingyang!"

Yuan Shu and all the princes changed color, and Sun Jian even beat his horse to meet the front and shouted: "Speak quickly." ”

The fast horse was originally Sun Jian's ministry, but when he saw that it was Sun Jian in person, his heart suddenly widened, and he said quickly: "My lord, 100,000 Xiliang iron cavalry besieged Xingyang, and General Zhu Huan sent the villain to report the news, and asked Prime Minister Cao Cheng and General Yuan to quickly ignite the Kwantung army from all walks of life and kill Xingyang for reinforcements." ”

"Why is it Zhu Huan!?" Sun Jian's face changed, and he said in a deep voice, "What about Cheng Pu?" ”

The soldier responded: "General Qiao Rui found a group of women, and went out of the city to chase after him, General Cheng Pu was afraid of losing it, so he led a 5,000 cavalry army and four generals Chen Wu, Dong Xi, Zhou Tai, and Jiang Qin to pick up them, so there were only 3,000 troops led by Zhu Huan and Ling Ying in Xingyang City. ”

"Tricks! This is the horse butcher's trick! Sun Jian sighed, "Virtue misunderstands me, virtue misunderstands me!" ”

Yuan Shuce immediately stepped forward and said to Sun Jian with concern: "Wentai, the military situation is urgent, you can follow me to the general, and kill all the coalition troops to Xingyang." ”

Sun Jian clenched his fists and said, "Thank you, General." ”

……

Outside the city of Xingyang.

Ma Yue and Jia Xu rode the horses in front, and Dian Wei and Xu Chu followed.

"My lord." Jutu's figure suddenly appeared in front of Ma Yue, "General Gao Shun has arrived." ”

"Gao Shun?" Ma Yue said, "Is his injury healed?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "It's been almost half a year, and with the careful treatment of my wife, General Gao Shun's injury should have healed a long time ago." ”

"Lord!" Jia Xu's voice fell, and Gao Shun's majestic figure had already appeared not far in front, raising his arm on horseback and leaping to the horse, "The last general will see the lord." ”

Ma Yue said: "Gao Shun, how is the injury on your body?" ”

Gao Shun said: "It's just a small injury, and it's long gone." ”

Ma Yue said: "But your left arm ......"

Gao Shun waved his only one-arm and said excitedly: "Although the last general only has one right arm left, as long as the lord gives an order, he can still charge into battle." ”

"Great!" Jia Xu on the side said, "Lord, with Yuanhe (Gao Shunbiaozi) here, this battle is even more foolproof." ”

"Hmm." Ma Yue nodded and said to Gao Shun, "Gao Shun listens to the order." ”

Gao Shun Huo Ran puffed up his chest and said quickly: "The end will be." ”

Ma Yue said: "Lead the people of the headquarters to guard the Tiger Pass." ”

"Yes!"

"Wenhe." Ma Yue turned back to Jia Xu and said indifferently, "It's almost time, let's break up here." ”

Jia Xu hugged his fists and said, "Take care, lord." ”

Ma Yue replied: "Wenhe is precious. ”

With that, the two turned around and went their separate ways.

Jia Xu took Xu Chu, Ma Chao and 20,000 Xiliang Iron Horsemen to roll towards the east, but Ma Yue took Dian Wei, Ju Tu and 8,000 Jing Cavalry to the west and went straight to Nanyang.

……

Xuchang.

Yuan Shu was promoted to the general, and just when he was about to do his best to kill Xingyang, there was a meteor to report to Malay.

"Report~~ Xingyang City has been breached, and all the defenders in the city have been killed, and none of them have been spared."

"What? My Koto elite, ahhh......hh

Sun Jian screamed, spat blood from his mouth and fell backwards.

"Lord!"

"My lord?"

Huang Gai and Xu Shu, who were standing behind him, hurriedly rushed forward to support Sun Jian, and Yuan Shu also hurriedly left the table to come to inspect, poor Sun Jian was extremely sympathetic to his soldiers, at this time, when he heard that Xingyang had fallen, all the elites of Jiangdong were killed, and he couldn't help but faint with his eyes black and fainted.

After a long time, Sun Jian woke up quietly, held Xu Shu's hands tightly, and tears fell in his tiger eyes, and he said sadly: "Yuan Zhi, Jiangdong elite, where is my Jiangdong elite?" ”

Xu Shu said gloomily: "As the saying goes, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, and the lord mourns. ”

"Horse butcher!" Sun Jian's expression gradually became extremely sad, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I swear to stand with you!" ”

"Report~~" Sun Jian's voice fell, and meteors came to report one after another, "30,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry (the defenders exaggerated the enemy's situation) attacked at night, and the Changshe was in a hurry. ”

"Report~~ Xiliang fierce general Ma Chao led 20,000 iron cavalry suddenly appeared under Zhongmu City, Zhongmu is in a hurry!"

"Report~~ Zhongmu has been broken, and all three thousand defenders have been killed."

"Report ~~ 50,000 Xiliang Iron Cavalry is killing Chen Liu's momentum with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, please send reinforcements to the imperial court, and the big event will be closed later......"

"Newspaper~~ The long society has been broken, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is killing Benyang Zhai and Yingyang."

"This and this, this and this ......" Yuan Shu was so anxious that he was at a loss, looked around at the princes from all walks of life, and said in a lost voice, "The Xiliang army is attacking so fiercely, we are caught off guard, how can this be good?" ”

"The general doesn't have to worry, the offensive of the Xiliang army seems to be rapid, but in fact, it is just a bluff and nothing to fear."

Yuan Shu's voice fell, and a clear voice sounded faintly, and when Yuan Shu and the princes from all walks of life looked at it urgently, it was the chief strategist under Prime Minister Cao Ying, known as Guo Jia, who was known as a ghost. Hearing Guo Jia's words, Yuan Shu suddenly became relieved, and said earnestly: "What is Mr. Fengxiao's countermeasure?" ”

Guo Jia slowly walked to the screen in the middle of the big tent, pointed to the map hanging on the screen and said: "Generals, please look, this is Xu Du, where the Son of Heaven is located!" This is Chen Liu, here is Yang Zhai, just like the left and right wings are guarding the safety of Xu Du, this time the Xiliang army is menacing, and the combat intention is very obvious, that is, to attack Yang Zhai and Chen Liu, and cut off the left and right wings of Xu Du, so that Xu Du will become a lonely city, and it can no longer be defended. ”

"The combat intent of the Xiliang army is not important." Yuan Shu hurriedly said, "The important thing is how to repel the incoming enemy!" ”

Sun Tzu said, knowing that the other side can win a hundred battles, if you don't figure out the combat intentions of the Xiliang army, how can you formulate a corresponding plan to retreat from the enemy? Guo Jia smiled faintly, secretly thinking in his heart: Yuan Highway is famous, looking to return to the sea, governing the land across Jingyang and Yangzhou, stretching for thousands of miles, and the tent is even more civil and military, but it is a pity that he is impetuous, and it is difficult to achieve great things.

But for the lord, it is a great thing.

Yuan Shu saw that Guo Jia was silent for a long time, and asked again: "Mr. Fengxiao, how should the coalition army retreat from the enemy?" ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and patted the tiger prison hard, and said loudly: "It's very simple, no matter how many ways he comes, I will only go all the way." The general only needs to assemble the army and put on a posture of attacking the Tiger Pass, and the two Xiliang armies will naturally retreat. ”

Yuan Shu was stunned and said: "What if the two Xiliang armies still don't retreat, what should we do?" ”

Guo Jiazuo said: "Then I will congratulate the general in the future, the general will soon exterminate the horse rebellion and establish immortal meritorious deeds." ”

"Wonderful!" Before Yuan Shu could answer, Xu Shu, a strategist under Sun Jian's account, had already praised the festival, "What a good move to attack and defend, it can be described as wonderful!" Wonderful! ”

Guo Jia smiled on his face, glanced back at Xu Shu lightly, and thought that this person's ability was not under Yuan Shaojun's master Tian Feng, and he had the opportunity to speak for the lord, if he could not persuade him to vote, he should try to cut it off, so as not to cause disaster in the future.

……

Wancheng, Cao Ying's big tent in the army.

Xiahoudun, Cao Chun, Yu Ban, Li Dian, Zangba and others have gathered in the tent.

Yu Ban was familiar with the scriptures, and he knew the art of war, so he asked Cao Yingdao: "Why is the lord sure that the horse butcher will go out of Nanyang?" ”

Cao Ying said: "There is a river in the north, and there is a natural danger in Taihang Mountain, the coalition army only needs to choke the Huguan, Guandu and other dangerous passes and ferries, even if the horse butcher has a million elites, they are not allowed to enter, so ...... This road is not working! In addition to the north road, the horse butcher only had two roads to choose from, either out of Jingzhou or out of Hanzhong. ”

Yu Bandao: "Do you know that the horse butcher will not go out of Hanzhong? ”

Cao Ying said: "Hanzhong is remote, even if the horse butcher turns it upside down, at most forcing Zhang Lu and Liu Yan to retreat the soldiers and horses, what impact will it have on the Central Plains Thirteenth Route Alliance?" ”

The young Cao Chun suddenly said: "There are two roads to go south from Luoyang to Jingzhou, one is to take Wuguan and knock on Nanxiang, and go straight to Xiangyang, and the other is from Luoyang through Yiyang, through Xuanyuan Mountain to Wancheng, although the Wuguan road is steep and rugged, but the cavalry is not impossible to cross, why did the lord expect that the horse butcher must go to Wancheng?" ”

"There's no reason." Cao Ying's eyes flickered, and he replied in a deep voice, "It's just an intuition!" From what I know about the horse butcher, this person will not go through the martial arts, absolutely not! ”

……

Chen stayed outside the city, the camp of the Xiliang army.

Ma Chao hurriedly walked into the big tent of the Chinese army, and said to Jia Xu, who was looking at the map at the desk: "Military division, the thirteenth route coalition army stationed in Xuchang has moved!" ”

"Oh?" Jia Xu Huo Ran straightened up and asked in a condensed voice, "Have the coalition forces ever divided their troops to rescue Chen Liu?" ”

"Nope." Ma Chao shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The coalition forces went straight to Xingyang. ”

"Really?" Jia Xu's face changed, and he said with emotion, "It's worthy of being a ghost, so easily I saw through our army's strategy of attacking instead of defending." ”

Ma Chao said: "Military division, if the coalition forces recapture Xingyang, the next step is likely to take advantage of the situation to attack the Tiger Pass, in this way, there is a river in the north, Songshan in the west, Yingshui in the south, and Shangshui in the east, and our army's retreat will be cut off by the coalition forces in one fell swoop, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Jia Xu looked relieved, and said in a harmonious voice: "The young general's analysis is very correct, Guo Jia's move is called to encircle Wei and save Zhao." The coalition forces put on a posture of attacking Xingyang on a large scale, causing the danger of cutting off our army's retreat, and forcing our army to retreat, so as to achieve the goal of lifting the siege of Chenliu and Yangzhai. ”

Ma Chao's expression moved, and he said in a condensed voice: "Is the military advisor saying that the coalition army's large-scale attack on Xingyang is not really to recapture Xingyang and cut off our army's retreat, but just to lift the siege of Chen Liu and Yang Zhai?" ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "Our army is all cavalry, and the coalition army is all foot soldiers, and the speed of the march is incomparable!" With Guo Jiazhi's ability, it is impossible not to see this clearly. Therefore, the recapture of Xingyang is only a means and not an end. However, having said that, if our army does not return to Xingyang in time, the coalition forces will turn the virtual into reality and really recapture Xingyang. ”

Ma Chao said: "In other words, if our army returns to Xingyang now, the coalition army will also retreat?" ”

"Yes!" Jia Xu bowed slightly, a wicked smile suddenly bloomed at the corner of his mouth, and he said in a good manner, "However, since our army has already come, how can we return empty-handed?" ”
