As soon as Cao Zhang and Han Dang died, the scattered soldiers of the Wu and Wei armies who came later were all dumbfounded. They had been thinking that they were running slowly, but now they were glad that they weren't running that fast. At this time, the mountain road was blocked, Cao Zhang, Han Zhong, and these scattered soldiers didn't know where to go.

At this moment, Dian Wei and Zhou Cang shouted on the hillside: "Guanghua National Master is here!" ”

The two sergeants of Wu and Wei looked up at it, saw Nan Ye standing in the firelight and said: "I was hunting today, and I wanted to shoot a horse, but I hit a roe deer by mistake." You wait and go with peace of mind, and if you overturn Sima Zhongda, sooner or later you will be captured by me. ”

Seeing that Nan Ye did not chase and persuade him to surrender, but let everyone live, how could there be any reason not to go? I went back to see Sun Quan and Sima Yi and told me about the past. Sima Yi was sad, and sighed to the sky: "Your Highness is dead, and I am at fault!" ”

When Sun Quan heard that Han Dang was dead, he also burst into tears and sighed: "I should first break Ma Chao, and then break Nanye, and avenge the soldiers." ”

As soon as the armies of Wu and Wei retreated, the boundaries of Yanzhou were all obtained by Nanye, and the six states of Eastern Wu were all owned by Nanye, and the prestige of the Southern Han Dynasty was greatly shaken. Nan Ye left Lu Xun, Zhang Yan, Zhang Ren, Zang Ba and others to garrison Yanzhou, and led the rest of the people to continue to pursue the Wu and Wei armies into Jizhou.

said that Ma Chaobing besieged Yecheng, but he was instructed by Nan Ye. In fact, the cavalry under his command was not suitable for attacking the city, but it was just to use the strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao and put pressure on Sima Yi. So as soon as Sun Quan and Sima Yi returned to the army, Ma Chao received the news.

Ma Chao asked Pang Tong: "Now that Sima Yi's army has returned, will we retire for the time being?" When the national division arrives, then work together to attack the city? ”

Pang Tong smiled when he heard this: "Why should General Meng Qi be so careful? Sun Quan and Sima Yi's return is a good opportunity for us to break the city. If there are many soldiers, how can we show our skills? ”

As soon as Ma Chao heard what Pang Tong said, he knew that he had a plan, and said happily: "Please also ask Mr. Shiyuan to teach me!" ”

Pang Tong said: "We can first make the ambush soldiers break Sima Yi, and then borrow Cao Jun's clothes and armor to enter the city, what does the general think?" ”

Ma Chao said suddenly: "Mr. is right! Please also ask the gentleman to transfer military horses. ”

Pang Tong shook his head when he heard this: "At this time, it is still early, I will wait for the night to deploy troops to ambush, and set up camp here, so as to confuse Cao Pi in the city, one army can be used as two armies." ”

Ma Chao agreed, and transferred troops overnight, leaving only a virtual camp and a small number of men and horses to garrison, and the rest of the people went to ambush. However, it is said that the Wu and Wei armies returned to Yecheng, with the Wei army in front and the Wu army behind, with Cao Chun and Cao Zhen as the vanguard.

The two generals Cao Chun and Cao Zhen were moving forward, and suddenly Sima Yi of the rear army sent an order to the soldiers, and instructed the two generals: "Sima Du has an order, approaching Yecheng, you need to prevent Ma Chao from ambushing the army, and you can't enter lightly." ”

Cao Zhen was originally very convinced of Sima Yi, but Sima Yi was defeated repeatedly, not only losing Yanzhou but also folding Cao Zhang, which made Cao Zhen very unhappy. At this moment, he was worried about the safety of Yecheng, but when he heard Sima Yi say that he should move slowly, he couldn't help pouting: "Why is the governor so suspicious of using soldiers?" I expect Ma Chao to besiege the city, and there is an ambush again? Now that our soldiers are advancing in multiple ways, we can win a big victory, how can we teach Xiu to advance? ”

The herald was dumbfounded when he saw that Cao Zhen didn't listen, how could he dare to fight against Cao Zhen! However, Cao Chun persuaded him: "All the governors are all successful, and they all succeed, so we should be careful." ”

Cao Zhen said angrily: "If the governor is resourceful, he will not lose Ziwen!" ”

As soon as Cao Chun heard Cao Zhen mention Cao Zhang, his heart was also painful, and he remembered that it was not Nan Ye that he had to deal with, so he said to the herald: "Ma Chao is no better than Nan Ye, and you don't have to worry about us when you reply to the governor." ”

Seeing that the two generals did not listen, the herald had to go back to restore his life. Although Cao Chun and Cao Zhen didn't care, they didn't dare to be too careless, although they didn't slow down, they divided the soldiers and horses into two ways, Cao Zhen in front and Cao Chun in the back, so that they could have a response when they encountered ambushes.

Ma Chao smiled slightly when he saw Cao Bing coming on the hillside, although he didn't have Nan Ye's magical skills, he had a telescope produced by Jiaozhou. Cao Chun and Cao Zhenbing are divided into two ways, how can Ma Chao not see it. However, Ma Chao didn't care, because his ambush was different, it was made up of Tiefutu and Kidnapping Horses, and the power was not surrounded on all sides, but in the impact.

Cao Zhen led his troops for a few miles, and suddenly heard a drum on the hillside, with Ma Chao on the left and Ma Dai on the right, each leading a team of abducted horse cavalry to open their bows and arrows. The so-called kidnapping horse is a light cavalry that is good at riding and shooting, specially set up on the two wings to cooperate with the Iron Floating Massacre, so these cavalry archery skills are very superb, and only one round of salvo will turn the person who shoots Cao Bing on his back.

As soon as Ma Chao and Ma Dai came out of the ambush, Cao Zhen was shocked, but fortunately, before the two soldiers and horses could form a siege, Cao Zhen led the troops to retreat. But before Cao Zhen could retreat, the rumbling sound of iron hooves sounded, and Pang De led the Iron Floating Tu to crush him, chasing Cao Bing and killing him, and Cao Zhen was defeated and left.

Cao Chun suddenly heard the shouting in front of him and knew that it was not good, so he hurriedly led the troops to rescue, but it was not the enemy army that was coming, but Cao Zhen's soldiers and horses. The two Cao armies trampled on each other, and they suddenly became a mess. At this time, Pang De Tiefu arrived and chased Cao Zhen and Cao Chun to fight. The two were no match for each other, so they had to be defeated, and only four or five hundred of the 20,000 vanguard soldiers and horses of the Cao army survived with wounded men and horses.

Sima Yi was shocked when he heard the words of the two generals reported by the heralds, and hurriedly asked Sun Quan to send Lu Meng and Zhou Tai to lead troops to respond. Not long after the two left, they were defeated by Cao Chun and Cao Zhen. Pound saw the arrival of the soldiers in the back, and then he retreated. At this time, Cao Chun and Cao Zhenfang believed that Sima Yi was prescient and regretted it.

If someone else violated Sima Yi's military order, Sima Yi would definitely kill a hundred people, but for Cao Chun and Cao Zhen, the two Cao generals, Sima Yi really had no good way. Seeing that the second general would return to the camp to plead guilty, Sima Yi just comforted him, and then let the two go back to the camp to rest.

When Sun Quan saw that the second general of Cao Ying had left the tent, he said to Sima Yi: "Unexpectedly, Ma Chao is so scheming, we should wait and wait to slow down to avoid being ambushed." ”

Sima Yi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's words are bad, I should act quickly at this time, otherwise Yecheng will be in danger." ”

Sun Quanqi said: "Before, the governor ordered that the front army should not enter lightly, why do you want to urge the troops now?" ”

Sima Yi said: "For the general, you should know the right time and place, this place is not far from Yecheng, and there is only one way to ambush the army." Since Ma Chao has set up an ambush, he has no chance. If we had slowed down, would we not have a chance to attack the city? ”

Sun Quan nodded yes when he heard this, urging the two armies to move quickly. However, it is said that Ma Chao disabled Cao Chun and Cao Zhen's soldiers and horses in a battle, and nearly 20,000 Cao soldiers surrendered with casualties. Pang Tong ordered his subordinates to change into Cao Jun's clothes and armor, and then ordered this and this to lead the troops to Yecheng overnight.

Cao Pi didn't see Ma Chao attacking the city for the past two days, and he was very puzzled, but he didn't dare to send troops out of the city, for fear that Pang Tong would use a strategy, but he just ordered the soldiers to carefully observe the enemy camp. Ma Chao's battalion was not empty, but left some soldiers and horses as empty soldiers. Cao Jun in the city looked at it for a few days, but he didn't find that Ma Chao led the army to leave the camp.

On the evening of this day, there was a sudden fire under Yecheng, and shouts of killing broke out. The soldiers at the head of the city were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly flew to report to Cao Pi. Cao Pi summoned all the generals to the city, only to see that Ma Chao's camp was on fire, and the camp tents, baggage, and thunderbolts were all ignited, and the sky-high fire illuminated the night sky like day. The military flag of the word "Cao" shuttled back and forth in the firelight.

Cao Pi was overjoyed and said to the generals: "This must be the governor leading the troops back, who dares to go out of the city to respond?" ”

Cao Xiu held his breath since he was driven back from Bingzhou by Ma Chao, and went out of class and said: "I am willing to go out of the city to meet the governor." ”

Yang Xiu frowned and said: "Although Your Majesty ordered the Governor to return to the army, no one came to report that the Governor attacked the camp tonight, and no one came to discuss with Your Majesty about the response. In my opinion, it is better not to open the city gates, just in case. ”

Dong Zhao said: "Dezu's words are bad! Ma Chao's siege of the city relied on thunderbolt cars, and now that the car has been burned, is it Ma Chao's strategy? I didn't expect to be able to tell the governor because I was afraid of leaking the news. The fighter plane is fleeting, and please ask Your Majesty to open the city as soon as possible to respond, otherwise the Metropolitan Governor will be defeated, and we will be in danger! ”

Cao Pi is right to think about it, even if Ma Chao uses a trick, he can't burn all the thunderbolts, so how can he attack the city? It seems that Yang Xiu is too worried. Thinking of this, Cao Pi said to Cao Xiu: "Wen Lie Aiqing quickly led the troops to open the city to respond, don't hesitate!" ”

Cao Xiu had to order the troops to come out and kill the galloping horses in the camp. Ma Chao and Pang Tong saw the city gate open behind the battle, and looked at each other and smiled. Tonight's battle is completely their own people fighting their own people, and Cao Bing, who is dressed up as Ma Chao, sneaked up on his own camp. Of course, the soldiers and horses left behind in the battalion had already prepared, and they cooperated with Ma Chao to shout and set fire everywhere.

In order to pretend to be realistic, Pang Tong ordered the soldiers to set fire all the thunderbolt carts and siege equipment carried by the army, and burned all the tents, grain and grass. Although the price of this is a little greater, Ma Chao is not distressed. The role of the thunderbolt was originally to siege the city, and if the thunderbolt could be burned to take the city, it would not be unjust.

At this time, as soon as Cao Xiu left the city, Ma Chao felt that this fire was not in vain, and ordered Ma Dai to fight Cao Xiu. Ma Dai ordered the army to be killed and intercepted Cao Xiu's way.

When Cao Xiu saw Ma Dai, he laughed at that time. Ma Dai in front of him was too miserable, not only his helmet was crooked, but his face was full of fireworks, black and white, his eyes were red from smoke, and he was not holding the usual big knife, but a spear found out of nowhere, and the gun was half burned bald, how ugly it was.

If it was in normal times, Cao Xiu really didn't dare to fight Ma Dai. But today, seeing that Ma Dai was so embarrassed, and the soldiers behind him were all in poor armor and incomplete weapons, Cao Xiu came to the spirit at that time and shouted: "Where is Ma Dai going?" With that, he raised his sword and split Ma Dai.

When Ma Dai saw Cao Xiu's knife coming, he raised his gun to block, and he heard a "click~", and the spear in Ma Dai's hand was actually split into two pieces with a knife. Cao Xiu didn't expect the change in front of him at all, he forgot to attack for a while, and Ma Dai was obviously taken aback, looking at the hand breaking the gun and a little overwhelmed.

In just an instant, the two generals reflected at the same time, and Cao Xiu haha: "You will die here today!" "Then he slashed and slashed.

Ma Dai folded his weapon and had no intention of fighting, raised the broken spear with both hands and threw it at Cao Xiu, and then turned the horse away. Xiliang Tieqi is accustomed to throwing javelins, and Ma Dai's throwing level is not weak, and the broken spear is as fast as a meteor towards Cao Xiuza.
