Chapter Ninety-Nine: Horses Are Really Enemies!

"What do you mean, sir?"

"General Yan, the information of the Xiliang Army obtained by Lord Sikong, I'm afraid the general has contributed a lot, right?" Yang Fu smiled and glanced at Yan Xing.

"That's right, General Ben's heart is towards Lord Sikong, and his family members have been secretly sent to Xudu, and General Ben will send his henchmen to send information to Lord Sikong every once in a while."

"My lord, Lord Sikong asked the Anding defenders to send troops to raid Tianshui and Jincheng on the grounds that he had accurate information, I'm afraid it was also the information provided by General Yan, right?"

"Exactly, this is the decision of the Xiliang Army, and the line was next to Ma Chao at that time."

"If the general can participate in the military discussion of the Xiliang Army, he must be a powerful figure in the Xiliang Army, but the Xiliang Army is in a standoff with our army, why was the general sent here? Just Weishui Ferry, can you use the general to garrison it personally? ”

"This?" Yan Xing was stunned for a moment, if according to the current confrontation between the Cao army and the Xiliang army, Weishui Ferry is indeed a dispensable strategic place, Yan Xing is stationed here, and the main job of Yan Xing is to reconnoiter the enemy situation and prevent the Cao army from moving south. This task can be Wancheng with a school captain, why let Yan Xing come in person?

"What Mr. said is reasonable, it seems that Xing's whereabouts have already been exposed, and Ma Chao is just using Xing to lure Lord Sikong into sending troops." Yan Xing shook his head, it seemed that he had fallen for Ma Chao's plan, and he sent the information to Cao Cao, but he missed Cao Cao's big event.

"General! Something happened! A soldier covered in blood rode towards Yan Xing.

"Wang Zhen, you're not in the barracks, why did you come here?" Yan Xing was taken aback. This person is his confidant. Captain Wang Zhen!

"General. General, quickly take people away, Pound led the army to take over the army, suddenly attacked, and our brothers are all dead! ”

"What!" Pound actually led someone to copy his own military camp?

"General Yan, it seems that Ma Chao has decided to eradicate you, so let's leave here and cross Weishui. Going to Tongguan is the best policy! ”

"Good! What Wei Gongzi said is very true, let's leave immediately, there is a ferry in front of us! "Yan Xing is in charge of garrisoning the ferry, so naturally he has also prepared a ferry.

Yan Xing crossed the Yellow River with 500 soldiers and Wei Kang and his party by boat, and at this time, Cao Cao was leading a large army to attack Chang'an City.

"Report! Sikong-sama, the siege equipment has been prepared, please give the order! ”

"Good! Command the whole army to attack the city! ”

"No!"

The banner soldiers waved the banner, and the siege troops of Cao's army began to advance. The first was the catapult that fired a boulder and struck the walls of Chang'an. Then there was Cao Cao's mobile arrow tower. Cao's bows and arrows rained down on Chang'an City, and the Xiliang army also responded with bows and crossbows. In the end, it was Cao Cao's siege vehicle, under the cover of the shield soldiers, that slowly advanced and attacked under the Chang'an tower.

"Falling boulders!" Ma Chao personally commanded on Chang'an City, and after seeing Cao Cao's siege vehicle approaching, he immediately issued a military order to throw huge stones.

After an hour of fierce fighting, the downstairs of Chang'an City is already full of corpses, although the city gate has not been breached, but the Xiliang army has also suffered heavy losses, and there are not many soldiers on the city tower.

"Major General, the lord and General Han have retreated to the north bank of the Wei River, and the major general's personal soldiers are also ready." Ma Chao's lieutenant general climbed the city tower and reported to Ma Chao.

"Okay, let's withdraw from Chang'an!" Ma Chao smiled slightly, took his guards down the city tower, and led the elite cavalry out of the west gate and retreated to the north bank of Weishui.

"Report! Lord Sikong, our army has recaptured Chang'an, and General Cao is leading people to clean up the battlefield. ”

"Good! Command the whole army to enter Chang'an! ”

"No!"

Three days later, Chang'an was too guarded in the mansion, Cao Cao had already lost the joy of retaking Chang'an, his face was full of sadness, he thought he had won the Xiliang army, but the real result was that he was calculated by Ma Chao, and now he just won and lost each other.

Cao Cao just captured Chang'an, and the news came that Tongguan was attacked by the Xiliang army, but fortunately, the Tongguan guards handled Li Dian properly and finally held Tongguan, but Cao's materials in Tongguan were burned by the Xiliang army, and the defenders lost most of their soldiers.

Cao Cao just breathed a sigh of relief and received two more battle reports, Cao Cao had just finished reading the battle reports, he was so angry that he had a headache and fell to the ground.

The capture of Anding and Beidi by the Western Liang army meant that Cao's army lost the land of Liangzhou in Weibei, and at the same time Cao Cao discovered that the original purpose of Ma Chao's mobilization of troops to come to Chang'an was not to defend Chang'an at all, but to hold Weishui. In this way, the advantages and disadvantages of the Cao army and the Western Liang army were reversed, not that the Cao army was looking for the main force of the Western Liang army to fight a decisive battle, but that the main force of the Western Liang army wanted to drag the Cao army to death south of Weishui.

The most important thing is that Yan Xing was recognized by Ma Chao, and Cao Jun lost the super internal response in the Xiliang Army.

"See Sikong-sama!"

"Get up!" Cao Cao waved his hand weakly and raised his head helplessly.

"Thank you, sir!"

"If it weren't for the wrong information, Lord Sikong would not have lost stability and the Northland, please ask Lord Sikong to punish him!" This was Cao Cao's first deliberation after he captured Chang'an, and Yan Xing immediately pleaded guilty.

"Yanming, get up, it's no wonder to you for this matter, it's Ben Sikong's negligence, he fell for Ma Chao's tricks, Yan Ming escorted Yang to join the army and General Wei to Chang'an, and Ben Sikong will not reward or punish!"

"Thank you, Lord Sikong!"

"Fengxiao, what is the movement of the Xiliang Army now?"

"My lord, after the Xiliang Army captured Anding, Cheng Yin, the general of the Xiliang Army, took the reinforcements of the Qiang tribe to join Ma Chao, built a military village on the north bank of Weishui, and held the main ferry."

"Go on!" Cao Cao sighed, Ma Chao was really good at seizing the opportunity and immediately occupied the ferry on the north bank of Weishui, making it difficult for Cao Cao's army to cross the river.

"Lord, according to the spies in the area of Chencang, Chencang has also been strengthened by the Xiliang Army, and now no one can enter or leave Chencang."

"Feng Xiao means that our army doesn't even have a chance to enter Tianshui in the west?"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?" Cao Cao pressed his temples and sighed helplessly.

"This?" Wenwu began to discuss, and now the situation of Cao Jun is really difficult to reverse.

Lu Rui looked at everyone, and began to think about it in his heart. Ma Chao is definitely a character in the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao admired Liu Bei and praised Sun Quan, but the evaluation of Ma Chao is: Ma Er is not dead, I have no place to be buried! The meaning of this sentence is that Cao Cao is afraid of Ma Chao, and if Ma Chao does not die, he will have no place to be buried.

In history, Ma Chao and Han Sui did not agree, the so-called Han Sui Ma Chao coalition army, in fact, Ma Chao led the Ma family army against the Cao army in Hebei and the Central Plains, even if it was such a gap, Ma Chao still defeated Cao Cao, which shows that Ma Chao used troops very well.

Chen Shou's evaluation of Ma Chao is: Han Xin, Peng Yue's generation. It seems that Ma Chao is really the Han Xin of the Three Kingdoms, if it is about the strategy of using troops, I am afraid that he is really the first in the Three Kingdoms.

Now the power of the Cao army is not as good as the Cao army in history, but the strength of the Xiliang army is stronger than history, and more importantly, Ma Chao's position in the Xiliang army is many times stronger than in history, what a fierce opponent!

Lu Rui shook his head in his heart, he traveled to the Three Kingdoms by himself, and this time he was probably the biggest problem he encountered.

"See the lord! General Li Dian has an urgent military situation to submit. ”

"Oh? Hurry up! ”

"No!"

Cao Cao glanced at the battle report and was stunned, the official road of Tongguan was destroyed by the Xiliang army, and the military rations of Yanzhou could not reach Chang'an.

"This Sikong has been fighting for many years, only the tiger Lu Bu, Hebei Yuan Shao makes this Sikong fearful, but today I have to see the horse, and I know that the horse is really a big enemy!" (To be continued......)
