After Ma Chao was defeated at Tongguan, he did not dare to retreat to Chang'an, and led the remnants of the army to retreat to Xiliang. When he went to the right side of the wind, he met his cousin Ma Dai and tens of thousands of fine horsemen to help, so Ma Chao's spirit was shocked, and he was determined to fight with Cao Cao again.

After Cao Cao entered Chang'an, he received an urgent report from Hanning Taishou Zhang Lu, so he sent Xiahou Yuan to lead 50,000 troops into Hanzhong to reinforce first, and then marched south after breaking Ma Chao, and heard that Ma Chao reorganized his troops and horses on the right side of the wind, Cao Cao did not care, and ordered Xu Chu, Xu Huang, and Cao Hong to lead 50,000 troops each to the Wei River, and he personally led the main force to march later.

Cheng Yu offered advice: "Ma Chao has always been brave, Xiliang Iron Cavalry is good at fighting, if it is a head-to-head confrontation, although our army is numerous, it is difficult to defeat the enemy, why not send a general secretly, divide the troops to take Linwei, Liangzhou is Ma Chao's root, if the King of Wei can cut off Ma Chao's way back, the army is in turmoil, why not worry?" ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed, so he ordered Yu Ban to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses, detour to Weibei, sneak attack Linwei, and copy Ma Chao's back road. He led the army to a decisive battle with Ma Chao.

Ma Chao was in Huaili, gathered 100,000 iron cavalry, and when he heard that Cao Cao's army was coming, he set up a formation, Pang De was on the left, and Ma Dai was on the right. The Xiliang Iron Cavalry is famous all over the world, Dong Zhuo is relying on the famous Xiliang Iron Cavalry to compete with the princes of the Eighteenth Road in the eastern part of the country, its combat power is extraordinary, the previous time in Tongguan, the mountains and rivers are steep, the iron cavalry can not be used at all, the right Fufeng is located in the Guanzhong Plain, as far as the eye can see, it is conducive to cavalry combat. Ma Chao saw that Cao Jun's soldiers were coming, and he jumped his horse and speared, standing in front of the formation, and shouted loudly.

"Ma Chaoxiaoer, Hugh is rampant, I will meet you sometime!" It was the tiger idiot Xu Chu who spoke. Xu Chu was Cao Cao's former army, and when he saw Ma Chao arrogant and no one in his eyes, he couldn't help but be furious, and slapped the horse and danced the knife to take Ma Chao directly.

Ma Chao smiled coldly and didn't answer. The horse moved forward, and the tiger-headed Zhan golden spear in his hand came out angrily, stabbing Xu Chu in the chest. Xu Chu waved a knife and fought together, the two fought in one place, you came and went, and fought for forty or fifty rounds without winning or losing.

The two fought to the right point. Ma Chao stabbed Xu Chu in the lower abdomen with a shot, Xu Chu didn't have time to swing the knife to block, and with a flash of sideways, the tiger's head Zhan golden spear passed closely, and the sharp blade cut off Xu Chu's armor silk. As soon as the armor silk was broken, the armor on Xu Chu's body was loosened, and it swayed in front of and behind him, according to common sense, Xu Chu should retreat to this formation at this time. Redressed and went out to battle again, Xu Chu refused to retreat, simply took off his armor, bare two big arms, and cut off Ma Chao's head with a knife.

The two fought for another fifty or sixty rounds, and they were still evenly matched. Cao Cao looked at it from behind the battle and sighed: "Ma Chao does not reduce Lu Bu's bravery!" If the horse doesn't die, it will be difficult to calm down all the way to Kansai! Cao Cao was afraid that Xu Chu would lose. Cao Hong and Xu Huang will attack Ma Chao from the left and right. Cao Jiang and Xu Huang took the order and slapped the horse forward. Take Ma Chao directly.

Pang De and Ma Dai in the Ma family's army were both furious, secretly scolding Cao Cao for being despicable, since he was a fighting general, he should be fighting alone, seeing Xu Chu's exhaustion, he wanted to rely on more and bully less. Nima's is too shameless! Since Cao Cao was unruly, Pang De and Ma Dai were naturally not polite, they immediately stepped forward to help in the battle, and it was not only the two of them who stepped forward, but also the rolling iron horsemen behind them. Rampage, like a mad tiger.

In the melee, Xu Chu was shot by Ma Chao with an arrow in the arm, Xu Chu was furious and scolded: "Despicable villain, you actually hurt people with a secret arrow!" ”

Ma Chao sneered: "Who told you to be shirtless? Deserve! ”

Xu Chu was furious, angrily removed the arrow on his left arm, the blood flowed like an infusion, and he still raised his knife to fight Ma Chao. Cao Hong and Xu Huang saw that the cavalry of the Ma family was fierce, and he was afraid that Xu Chu would lose, so he pulled his horse and forcibly dragged him back to his own formation. Xu Chu was still scolding and indignant.

Ma Chao saw Cao Bing retreating, and as soon as he gave an order, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry attacked on all fronts, and the momentum was like thunder.

The torrent of iron cavalry tore through the defense line of the Cao army in an instant, and swept the land with the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers, and the Cao army was defeated one after another. Ma Chao's silver armor and white robe, white horse and silver spear, just like a white whirlwind, crashed straight into the Cao army's array, the gun picked the horse and stepped on it, and slashed countless enemies, as if entering a no-man's land.

Ma Chao had already seen Cao Cao in a red robe under the cover, slapped the horse with a spear, and knocked the soldiers in front of Cao Cao to the ground, which was to take Cao Cao directly.

Cao Cao was so shocked that his soul was scattered, and he turned his horse away, and Ma Chao chased after him. Seeing that Ma Chao was only a few feet away from Cao Cao, a cavalry roared over, intercepted Ma Chao, was the first general, and shouted: "Ma Chao is not injured by my master, Cao Chun is here!" ”

Cao Cao saw Cao Chun come to the rescue, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, Cao Chun commanded Cao Cao's most elite cavalry tiger and leopard horse, and when Nanpi broke Yuan Tan in the past, it was the tiger and leopard riding skill. Originally, Cao Chun was arranged by Cao Cao in the rear team, and seeing that the situation of the front army was critical, Cao Chun led his troops out and intercepted Ma Chao.

Xiliang Iron Cavalry vs. Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, a good fight, until the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dark.

Ma Chao saw that the cavalry of the Cao army could not be defeated, and the sky was already dark, so Ming Jin withdrew his troops, and Cao Cao saw that the Xiliang soldiers retreated, and also collected his troops and returned to the camp.

That night, Ma Chao retreated to Huaili, and ordered the troops to rest and rest, and fight to the death with Cao's army tomorrow. All the armies obeyed the order, each returned to the camp, and Ma Chao ordered Ma Dai to patrol the city, beware of Cao Jun stealing the city at night intervals. As soon as Ma Chao wanted to rest, he received an urgent report from the rear, saying that Cao Jiang had led his troops to capture Linwei. Ma Chao was shocked, Linwei is the only main road connecting Longxi and Guanzhong, and the loss of Linwei is equivalent to his back road being cut off, how can this be done.

Ma Chao hurriedly summoned Pang De Ma Dai to come to discuss, Pang De heard that Linwei was lost, and he was also shocked, and said: "Longxi is the foundation of our army, Linwei is lost, the back road is intercepted, our army is attacked by the enemy, it is better to retreat early, in order to protect Longxi from loss." ”

Ma Chao slammed his fist on the table in hatred. "Cao thief is really treacherous, on the one hand he is fighting with me in Huaili, and on the other hand, he makes people sneak attack Linwei, this hand is really vicious!" Ma Chao had no choice but to order the troops to retreat overnight and go to Longxi.

Cao Cao arranged for Yu Ban to sneak attack Linwei, and he expected that Ma Chao would not stay in Huaili for a long time, and sent scouts to fight the movements of the deep Ma Xiliang army day and night. Cao Cao ordered Cao Hong, Xu Huang, and Xu Chu to follow Ma Chao, take advantage of the gap to attack him, and ordered Yu Ban to intercept Ma Chao in Linwei.

The retreat of the Xiliang army, the fighting spirit is completely gone, everyone is worried about the peace of the family, the battle is naturally absent-minded, in the face of the Cao army chasers like maggots attached to the bones, casualties, when the line to Jicheng, Ma Chao's men and horses have been lost more than half, exhausted.

Ma Chao looked up to the sky and sighed, and said: "The old father and brother were all killed by the Cao thief, and more than half of the people and horses were lost. ”

Ma Dai comforted on the side: "Brother don't worry, now that we have returned to Longyou, as long as we reorganize our troops and horses, we will be able to fight Cao Cao again, and our uncle's blood feud will also be successful." ”

The gate of Jicheng was closed, and Ma Chao rode forward, causing the sergeant to shout loudly to open the city. After a while, countless soldiers poured out of the city, swords and crossbows, waiting for the battle, Ma Chao was stunned, and then shouted: "You can't wait until you're blind, and you don't hurry up when you see this general." ”

Yang Fu, the defender of Jicheng, appeared on the head of the city, pointed at Ma Chao and sneered: "I have already surrendered to Prime Minister Cao, you don't want to enter the city again!" ”

Ma Chao was furious, ordered the soldiers to attack the city, Yang Fu was fearless, commanded the defenders to release arrows, for a time the arrows on the city were like rain, Ma Chao led the soldiers and horses were mostly cavalry, which was conducive to field battles and was not conducive to siege.

Yang Fu also ordered Liang Kuan and Zhao Qu to escort Ma Chao's wife and children, and in front of Ma Chao, cut off the heads one by one and threw the corpses under the city. Ma Chao was so sad and indignant that he choked and almost fainted.

At this time, Cao Hong, Xu Chu, and Xu Huang's pursuers had already been killed. Ma Chao had to wipe away his tears, stared at Yang Fu in the city, and gritted his teeth and said: "Yang Fu dog thief, I will definitely peel your skin and cramp in the coming day, crush your bones and scatter ashes, in order to avenge today's revenge!" ”

Yang Fu sneered leisurely in the city: "Ma Chao, do you think you still have a chance?" ”

Cao's army is large, Ma Chao did not dare to fight, and Pang De Ma Dai broke through the way, and there were countless casualties in the melee, when he fled to Xicheng, there were less than 1,000 horsemen left, Ma Chao was in a desperate situation, and he was wiped out in a tragic disaster, filled with grief and indignation, and sighed to the sky: "God is dead and my Ma Chao is also!"
