Text Chapter 452 Losing the Golden City

This knife can be described as fast and fierce, and its power is so great that it has caused Ma Xiu's tiger mouth to be shocked with blood, and the spear seems to be ready to get out of his hand at any time.

"Haha, your strength is too small." Seeing that Ma Xiu was beaten like this with a single blow, Wei Yan is laughter was heard, and the Shura knife in his hand suddenly retracted, and then slashed to the right as he swirled.

The direction of that knife was under Matthew's ribs. At this moment, he is still holding two guns in both hands, where can he defend for a while?

And if the defense is not timely, it is conceivable that just this knife will be seriously injured and fall off the horse.

Wei Yan's face was triumphant, and the Shura knife in his hand continued to castrate, accelerating towards the designated target. At this time, he seemed to have seen the scene of Matthew being seriously injured and falling from his horse and being captured.

"Flutter!"

The knife passed by, bringing up a piece of blood flower, but before Wei Yan could succeed in his move, when a happy expression appeared on his face, he also felt a pain in his right shoulder, and a spear was pierced there, which also brought up a blood flower.

"Big brother." Just when Wei Yan was shot and the strength of his right arm began to decrease, Ma Xiu's shouting came out.

Originally, Wei Yan's shot was not stabbed on Ma Xiu's body, but on Ma Chao, who happened to rush over.

Ma Chao tried his best, and while blocking the shot with his body, the dragoon hook and sickle in his hand also stabbed out, hitting Wei Yan's right arm who wanted to withdraw the knife.

At this moment, Ma Chao was lying in the arms of his second brother Ma Xiu with his bleeding abdomen.

Ma Xiu's shout also attracted the attention of the soldiers, and when they saw that the young general was seriously wounded, the few remaining soldiers also quickly rushed to this side, obviously they wanted to carry out the last protection.

"Kill them." Holding the bleeding wound on his right shoulder, Wei Yan's face was gloomy, he didn't expect to be careful, and in the end he was injured by Ma Chao, this person is really not simple. But now that this person has been stabbed by himself and seriously injured, there will be no threat in the future.

Wei Yan gave an order, and some soldiers rushed forward, seeing that they were about to outflank the Ma brothers and those few Xiliang soldiers.

"Major General, don't panic, Pang De is here." And just when those Liu Bei's soldiers were about to form a complete encirclement, at that time, I was afraid that the surrounded people would have escaped, but at this time, a loud cheer came, and then I saw a lot of cavalry in blue-gray military uniforms rushing to the peak.

In front of these soldiers, a general with a truncated broadsword in his hand was leading the charge here.

The truncated broadsword is Pound's weapon, and its head is shorter than that of ordinary broadswords, but the back of the knife is much thicker. The advantage of this is that it can play a big role in both melee and long-range combat.

Pang De's sudden killing caused a wave of confusion among Wei Yan's soldiers, and then he saw that the other party quickly killed him, and then forced a gap in the encirclement that had not yet been formed.

"General Pang." Matthew also saw Pound, who had arrived in time, and said in a choked voice. Now in his arms, Ma Chao is closing his eyes tightly, with a pale face.

Ma Chao was seriously injured, which surprised Pound, but he knew how powerful this person was.

It's just that now is not the time to be surprised, Pound's frightened look just flashed, and then he said: "Quick, break through immediately, protect the young general and Hugh Gongzi and rush out." ”

After speaking, Pang De even blocked the truncated broadsword, and after getting on the war horse, he rushed forward with a loud shout, his goal was to point directly at Wei Yan, even if this person killed the young general, then he would have to pay some price.

It's just that Wei Yan at this time has already paid the price, although he is not as seriously injured as Ma Chao, but his combat power has also decreased sharply, and it is difficult to have the strength to fight in the face of Pang De at this time.

Fortunately, at this time, Guan Xing and Guan Ping were also killed. When the two men saw Pound rushing towards him, they immediately greeted him.

If it was usual, Wei Yan would have a great advantage if he added two Guan family sons to fight Pang De. But now that he's injured, it's going to be difficult to win.

Pang De didn't expect Guan Xing and Guan Ping to kill them so quickly, he knew that it was impossible to move Wei Yan, so he waved the truncated broadsword in his hand several times, and took the opportunity to force the other party to retreat.

Now Pang De has no reinforcements, and the other party and Dong Zhuo's army have not appeared, if they are entangled now, it is obviously not a good thing.

Pang De retreated decisively, Guan Xing and Guan Ping retreated after chasing the army for a while, and they were also a little proud of Wei Yan's body.

Under the protection of Pound's army, Matthew has been holding his eldest brother Ma Chao. Then Pound came to meet, and then everyone headed towards the Golden City.

The battle lasted all night, and by the time they were still five miles away from Jincheng, the sky was already bright. And at this moment, there is very bad news from the front, that is, Jincheng was lost and taken away by Guan Yu.

It turned out that not long after Pang De left the city with an army of 50,000, Guan Yu came to the city with the men and horses dressed as the Xiliang Army, because it was dark and he couldn't understand it, and the guard Zhang Heng thought it was his own people, which opened the city gate.

Then Guan Yu led the army to kill it, although Zhang Heng also resisted desperately, but finally ten rounds later because he was defeated and was killed on his horse, and the other Xiliang troops saw that the situation was not good, except for the escape of 20,000 people, the others were either killed or captured.

Hearing that Jincheng was occupied, Pang De was naturally shocked, he was wary everywhere, but he was still careless. But now that the city is gone, he can't pass through there. "Take the trail."

Pound quickly made up his mind. Entering Xiliang from Yongzhou is not only Jincheng, there is also a small road that is feasible, but this is indeed the secret of the Xiliang army, and only a few generals can know it. Now that the city is gone, walking in the Golden City is tantamount to throwing yourself into a net, and the only way to do it is to do it.

Matthew also knew that this was not the time to hesitate, so he quickly nodded. In this way, the army of 50,000 turned a corner, headed towards the lofty mountains in the distance, and disappeared from everyone's view.

With Pang De leading his troops back to Xiliang from the trail, the battle basically came to an end.

In this battle, the Xiliang Army sent a total of 200,000 troops, but there were not even 70,000 people who could really go back. That is to say, under the First World War, 130,000 horses were lost, and at the same time, the two generals Cheng Yi and Zhang Heng were killed, and the partial generals and deputy generals who died were countless, which can be described as a large loss.

Relatively speaking, Liu Beijun and Dong Zhuojun's combined losses were only about 30,000, of which they also captured 80,000 horses, which was enough to fill the source of troops.

As soon as the war was over, the news came out, causing the world to shake.

When the news was transmitted back to the General Mansion of Jinyang City in Bingzhou, Zhang Chao's expression remained unchanged after hearing it, as if he had known the result for a long time.

As soon as the messenger in charge of reporting the news retired, Zhang Chao still signed the appointment of division commanders in each corps in his hand without hurry. After doing this, Fang slowly got up, then stretched his arms, and walked out of the study with his muscles and bones.

Zhang Chao appeared, and the chief guard in charge of the guard, Dian Wei, followed, four steps away, that is, he did not disturb Zhang Chao to do things, and once there was any special situation, he could also deal with it in time.

Zhang Chao was naturally clear about what Dian Wei did, but he didn't say anything. With the continuous expansion of his power now, he has become one of the most powerful princes in the land of China, and he is also one of the most powerful people, so security work is naturally the first priority.

Walking slowly in front, Zhang Chao's direction was the backyard of the General's Mansion, which was where several ladies usually rested and moved.

Before anyone arrived, I heard the mischievous running of children in the backyard garden far away. As soon as he heard this, a smile appeared on Zhang Chao's face, although there was still some distance, but he had already heard that the voice that came out was the voice of his third son Zhang Meng and second daughter Zhang Xiao, and of course, there was a child's babbling voice, which was the third daughter Zhang Ying, who had just been born.

Not long ago, Xiao Qiao finally gave birth to a daughter to Zhang Chao. A few days after birth, the skin looked white and bright, especially a pair of big eyes were very good-looking, Zhang Chao named the word Ying and named Zhang Ying.

Listening to the sound of these children playing, Zhang Chao guessed that there must be several ladies in the back garden, so he smiled and strode over.

"The General has arrived." After seeing Zhang Chao step into the courtyard, Dian Wei's majestic voice rang out. And this is still a low shout, if you go to other places, the voice will only be a few points louder than just now.

As soon as they heard that the general had arrived, the eyes of several ladies gathered at the gate of the garden, and when they saw Zhang Chao, who was wearing a moon-white robe, walked in, they also got up one after another to salute.

In ancient times, etiquette was extremely important, and Zhang Chao's wives were all people who knew etiquette, so they naturally would not take the initiative to break the rules in this regard, although he said it more than once that husband and wife meet every day, and there is no need to always salute, but several ladies still insist.

In this regard, Zhang Chao didn't say anything. Naturally, the position in the future will not be limited to the general, and some things are still better with rules.

A few ladies got up very politely, but the two children who were running on the ground really didn't care so much, as soon as they saw Zhang Chao appear, their eyes immediately showed an excited look, and then they ran over with a smile, "Father." ”

"Whoa." Zhang Chao saw a son and a daughter running towards him with small steps, and after agreeing, he also squatted down with a smile.
