The five lieutenants stepped forward and agreed to follow Ma Chao to show his profound strategy, Ma Chao turned his anger into joy, showed a smile, nodded and said: "This is the good son of Hebei, well, the five of you will lead the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to follow me, and the rest will be ready in the west of the city, as long as we see that as soon as we lead people out, you will immediately attack and ambush them." ”

"No!" The remaining seven generals nodded in unison.

Ma Chao led the soldiers and horses with five subordinate captains, and went straight to the place where Lang evil was governed, and the rest of the soldiers and horses set up ambushes on both sides of the road, waiting for Ma Chao to lead people to come, of course, they didn't have much hope for Ma Chao's strategy, as the party attacking the city, but also to lure the other party out, do you say that the other party has to be biao to do this tiger thing?

However, today's matter, these generals seem to have miscalculated, Ma Chao's soldiers and horses just arrived at the city of Lang Evil Administration, did not wait for the formation of troops to show off their might, then saw the gate of Lang Evil City open, a Biao army from the city rushed out, when the first general, holding a sledgehammer, shouted loudly: "Hebei thieves, dare to invade my city? Watch Grandpa kill you! ”

Ma Chao was stunned when he heard this.

Before Ma Chao came back to his senses and scolded back, he saw Cao Jun under the leadership of the Cao general who held the copper hammer, and went straight to Ma Chao to kill.

Behind Ma Chao, a lieutenant hurriedly asked, "General, what should I do?" Do you want to withdraw now, or do you want to withdraw later? ”

Ma Chao blinked, then pouted slightly, and said: "Let's compare, it's too fake not to compare, it's not too late to withdraw after the comparison!" ”

So, under the leadership of Ma Chao, the Yuan army roared towards the enemy and killed the past, both sides seemed to be somewhat prepared, a mask was a fight without leaving a hand, Ma Chao personally met the bronze hammer general, and fought with him in one place.

When it comes to strength, this bronze hammer general is eight more. It's not Ma Chao's opponent, but today Xiliang Jinma Chao rarely uses strategy, intending to lure the enemy, so the shot is also very casual, and after a few rounds of absent-minded casual fighting, he saw Ma Chao dangling a shot, jumping out of the circle, and said loudly: "No, the enemy is good, and it is not easy to fight today." Remove! ”

Yuan Jun and the others originally thought that this strategic deployment was a joke, and they were not very attentive when they fought, and they were relieved to listen to Ma Chao's orders, and they made a few random comparisons between the soldiers before and after, and then turned around and ran.

Cao Jun's momentum was not low, seeing that Ma Chao ran away, and seeing Yuan Jun running, he was unforgiving, and then covered up.

One side runs and the other chases. didn't run far back and forth, and arrived at the place where Ma Chao arranged the ambush.

Seeing that Cao Jun was coming, the Yuan army that was ambushed here according to Ma Chao's orders roared out and killed Yuan Jun in all directions.

And Cao Jun's momentum seems to have become quite fast. Just now, he was still babbling, and his momentum was like a rainbow, but when he saw the ambush at this moment, he immediately panicked. It seems that the enemy cannot resist it.

Ma Chao saw that he could achieve such an effect by his first plan, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, and he sat down and pulled the white horse. He turned around and shouted, "Brethren! In Cao's army, I plan to kill back with the general, fight hard, and take this city! ”

One side is fully prepared, showing the trend of encirclement and siege, one side is flustered, hastily facing the battle, the combat effectiveness embodied by the two sides can not be compared, in fact, the difference in manpower between the two sides is not too much at present, but the Lang evil Cao army suffers from lack of preparation, and it is too chaotic after the plan, plus Ma Chao is now starting to use real power, fighting bravely and well on the battlefield, and the time is not long, the front front line will be defeated like a tide, so that the difference in strength between the two sides is even greater, and the Cao army can not resist it, and has no intention of fighting, Just looking for an opportunity to escape.

Cao's army withdrew, this time it was replaced by Ma Chao who led the troops to chase back, and this vanguard division was led by General Xiliang and went straight to the Lang evil rule, and kept covering and killing along the way, and the momentum was like the sky.

Arrived at the city, the bronze hammer general shouted to open the city gate, but as soon as the drawbridge was put down, Ma Chao's soldiers and horses had already covered up, and it was too late to close the drawbridge, the copper hammer general had no choice but to lead the army to flee along the side of the city, Ma Chao's soldiers and horses were taking advantage of the situation to suppress the drawbridge, roaring into the Lang evil office, within two hours, the Lang evil office set up the Yuan character banner, and the city changed hands.

Ma Chao ordered his subordinates to clean up the city to participate, and then led the general into the Langxie Taishou Mansion, and as soon as he entered the main hall, he listened to Ma Chao laughing.

"Cao Jun can't fight, it's quite fast to escape, this kind of combat power, if the lord wants to destroy Zhongzhou, I'm afraid it won't take two months at most, where is the Zhongzhou tiger and wolf army led by Cao Cao back then? It's only been a few years, and it's withered into such a state, if Cao Cao saw it, wouldn't he jump out of the coffin and scold his unsuccessful son to death! ”

This battle was fought easily and happily, and the generals under Ma Chao's command were also full of energy, and they seemed to have a new understanding of Ma Chao's skills, and they also felt infinite guilt for their strategy of underestimating him.

"What General Ma said is extremely true, the combat power of the Cao army is really not very good, I am afraid that compared to those rebels in Guanzhong, it is also very inferior, Cao Cao is dead, the tiger and leopard are destroyed, and the Cao army is no longer afraid, and our army is winning this time in the south!"

********************************

Langxie's battle to seize the city went smoothly, and the Yangdu side was basically the same, and Gao Ran also advanced quickly, and soon took the city, completely sealing the Xuzhou North Road front.

And the news reached Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao was not in a hurry, his opponent was now Zhang Yan, but Zhang Yan's main purpose was to prevent him from saving the city, but Zhang Liao did not save it, avoided its edge, and stuck to the camp, just to make his soldiers and horses do more hats, and secretly build a canopy in Mount Tai, ready to deal with the upcoming storm that Guo Jia said.

Zhang Liao's behavior of avoiding the battle was not seen by Ma Chao and Gao Lan, but it made Zhang Yan suspicious. He had some doubts in his heart, and immediately asked the deputy general Wang Dang to discuss.

Wang Dang and Zhang Yan were friends of life and death when they commanded the Montenegrin Army together, so Zhang Yan did not shy away from speaking to him, and went straight to the topic as soon as they met.

"Brother Wang, Ma Chao and Gao Ran seized Lang Xie and Yang Capital, do you think there is anything wrong with this?"

Wang Dang has followed Zhang Yan into the Yuan army for many years, but there has been no change in Zhang Yan's title, as soon as he heard this, he immediately touched the beard on his chin and said, "Yan Shuai, don't you think that the two of them won too smoothly?" ”

Zhang Yan nodded and said: "Smooth is one point, and another point is that the two of them went to fight the northern border of Xuzhou, but Zhang Liao was not in a hurry at all, we were ordered to stop him, but he never confronted us head-on, as if he didn't take his city, if he had this attitude, what did he do here in Mount Tai?" It's better to stay in Pengcheng and wait for us to fight with us after we enter the hinterland of Xuzhou, there's no reason! ”

Wang Dang pondered for a moment and said, "Isn't it that Zhang Liao cares about the prestige of Yan Shuai, Ma Chao and Gao Ran, and doesn't dare to act rashly?" ”

Zhang Yan waved his hand and said, "Pull it down!" If it were someone else, they might think this way, but who are we facing now? It's Zhang Liao! Lao Tzu was in Yecheng, listening to the lord's comments on the Cao generals, in the lord's heart, this person ranked first! Even Xiahoudun, Cao Ren, Xu Huang and other generations, in the heart of the lord is not as good as him, this person is brave and strategic, and good at using soldiers, should not watch us in Xuzhou to make the force bigger and ignore it. ”

When Wang Dang heard this, he said: "Maybe he is deliberately indulging us, as the saying goes, the arrogant army will be defeated!" Zhang Liao may want to take advantage of the fact that we are not paying attention to a sudden counterattack, and the first battle is a decisive battle. ”

Zhang Yan nodded when she heard this, and was thinking about it, when she suddenly heard a burst of earth-shattering thunder from outside the tent, and couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Wang Dang was also stunned, got up and came to the tent, lifted the curtain, looked out the window, and said: "In this weather, thunder will thunder, it looks like it is going to rain heavily!" ”

Zhang Yan took a deep breath when he heard this, he didn't listen to Wang Dang's other words, but the word "it is going to rain heavily" made his mind move.

Zhang Yan hurriedly got up and looked up at the sky, but saw that the sky at this time was overcast, gray and did not seem to be transparent at all, only the thunderous lightning that kept stirring came into view, which was extremely dazzling.

Zhang Yan sniffed and said, "Look at it like this, it doesn't seem that this sudden heavy rain can stop in a day or two...... Are we ready for the rain? ”

Wang Dang smiled bitterly when he heard this, and said: "Even if there is, it is not enough, the soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first, but when it rains, who can think about it in a hurry?" ”

Zhang Yan thought for a while and said: "Our pre-rain preparations have not yet been decided, Ma Chao and Gao Ran are attacking the city, presumably even more unprepared, if they capture the city, Cao will collect and destroy all the rainproof measures in the city before abandoning the city, what do you say they will do now?" ”

Wang Dang: ".................."

*********************

This heavy rain came quickly with the rainy season, and what was even more annoying was that it was accompanied by strong winds, rainy and rainy, the wind roared, and the Yuan army that attacked Xuzhou was miserable, and the temporary shelter could not resist at all.

In the city captured by Ma Chao and Gao Ran, as if it was cursed, there was no reed grass to weave a cloak and hat, and the houses were not known to be dilapidated because of the fierce battle when seizing the city or the deliberate action of Cao Jun before leaving, even if it was borrowed, it was raining and leaking, and the grain and grass of the army were also damp and insect-like, and they were hungry if they ate diarrhea, and they were hungry if they didn't eat.

Five days later, the wind and rain that had made Yuan's army miserable had just stopped, and Cao's army, which had been hiding in the grass in the mountains and recuperating his energy, finally began to act under the leadership of Zhang Liao. (To be continued......)
