Zhang and Ma almost left their respective camps with their front and back feet, and the distance was almost the same, so it was natural for the two armies to meet half a mile away from the mountain pass, Zhang Liao was puzzled, and Hou Xuan and Cheng Yin were even more puzzled, wasn't it a night attack, wasn't it a fire attack, how did they meet it here?

The enemy has come, and the sneak attack or something has become, let's fight.

The two sides raised fires, and the night sky was illuminated in an instant, and the number of people on both sides was also clear, and when they saw that the other party was all archers, as well as ballistas, the number of people was definitely inferior to their own, Zhang Liao immediately ordered an attack, and resolutely could not give the other party's ballista a chance to start.

Hou Xuan and Cheng Yin were also extremely unlucky, the bow was not wound, and the ballista was not twisted, and the Jizhou army killed it, and with the melee ability of the archers, in addition to escaping, there was only the life of being slaughtered.

Before a quarter of an hour arrived, the vanguard army led by Hou Xuan and Cheng Yin was defeated, and most of them were killed, among which Cheng Yin was killed in battle, and was stabbed to death by Zhang Liao's halberd under the horse, and Hou Xuan took advantage of the chaos to flee back.

Knowing from the captured captives that there was a super army of horses behind him, and also knowing the purpose of their dispatch this time, Zhang Liao immediately said to the herald soldiers beside him: "You hurry back, report the situation here to the military division, and let the military division lead the army to come to support." ”

Zhang Liao thought about it, if he faced off with Ma Chao's army, it would not be advantageous at all, and the Xiliang army had many cavalry, and fighting in the wilderness was completely seeking death.

"Order the whole army to withdraw to the mountain pass."

Although the large battalion at the mountain pass is dilapidated, it can be regarded as a key pass, and the strength of the Xiliang army cannot be deployed, nor can it give full play to the combat advantages of the cavalry, which is much easier to defend than outside.

At a distance of a few hundred meters, it was quickly withdrawn, Zhang Liao was a complete army, shield soldiers, spearmen, axe men and archers, and it was still a more elite advanced army. 50,000 are the main force of Jizhou, and mountain warfare is their strength.

The Giant Shield Warriors were closely lined up at the mountain pass, each row followed by a row of Giant Spearmen, the Crazy Knife Dead Men were behind the Giant Spearmen, and some of the two wings were also standing, and the five thousand sharpshooters stood at the end. Only by breaking through the first three defenses can you damage the archer.

Now that there is no wall to block it, it has lost its condescending advantage, and can only use flesh and blood to lose the enemy's hard touch and carry it.

"Candidate, why are you back, what about Cheng Yin, and what about the vanguard army? Have you already succeeded? ”

Hou Xuan said with a crying voice: "General, we met Zhang Liao, who has tens of thousands of Jizhou troops. The vanguard army was completely annihilated, and General Cheng was also killed in battle. ”

"What, you met Zhang Liao, where is he, where is he?" Ma Chao didn't care about the life or death of Cheng Yin and the 10,000 vanguard army, he only cared about where Zhang Liao was and whether he could have a chance to defeat Zhang Liao.

"It's just a mile outside the mountain pass, and I'm trying to kill us at this time."

Ma Chao was overjoyed: "Okay, good." I ordered the whole army to prepare for battle, and the cavalry to follow me to assault. Yin smiled deeply: "Zhang Wenyuan." Zhang Wenyuan, I see how you can escape today. ”

There are 200,000 Xiliang Iron cavalry led by Ma Chao, 300,000 infantry, and the rest are all subdued by him, and there are also players from the plot camp who defected to him, and there are more people in this part. It's just that the combat effectiveness is very different from that of the Xiliang Army.

Ma Chao led 200,000 iron horsemen to take a step forward and rushed to the battlefield just now to kill him, but when he got closer, he found that there was no one, only dead corpses all over the ground. The made rocket is gone, don't think about it, it must have been taken away by Zhang Liao, and the strategy of fire attack was a complete failure, but he has 100,000 iron horsemen, and he can still catch up with Zhang Liao, as long as he entangles Zhang Liao, the final victory still belongs to him.

Ma Chao led the army and continued to pursue until he reached the mountain pass, and when he saw Jizhou blocking the door, he couldn't help but be happy: "Zhang Wenyuan is also a hero, knowing that I came to chase and kill him, he dared not to run, and he was still waiting for me in this mountain pass, if this person is attached to my account, it will also be a good thing." ”

Ma Chao rode alone to the front of the battle and shouted: "I am Ma Chao, General Xiliang, please come out and answer." ”

When Zhang Liao heard this, he let himself go out to answer, and wanted to refuse, but he wanted to delay it for a while, and Tao Sheng's side had a better chance of success, so he rode to the front of the formation and shouted: "I am Zhang Liao, the general of Jizhou, what does General Ma say." ”

"General Zhang is a famous general in the world, why should he be with the traitor Lin Sen and burn Lin Sen's jade. I will be a man who loves talents, it is better for the general to be attached to my account, and I will treat you with the courtesy of the general. ”

Ma Chao said this in Zhang Liao's opinion, which was very ridiculous, but he thought that he was going to delay time, so he couldn't just scold back, pretend to bow his head and think, and ignore Ma Chao.

Seeing this, Ma Chao seemed to have a door, and hurriedly continued: "Now that the imperial court has issued an edict, the edict invites the heroes of the world to jointly crusade against the thief Lin Sen, Lin Sen will be defeated sooner or later, how should the general deal with himself at that time, it is better for you to submit to me, I will play the imperial court, protect the general, the general's future is unlimited, the general must think clearly." ”

Zhang Liao still didn't answer, just pretended to bow his head and think, but in fact, he kept raising his eyes to look ahead, and was sure that Ma Chao didn't suddenly attack, so he turned his head down and pondered.

Ma Chao continued to shout: "General Zhang, Ben will come with millions of troops, and he has already set up a battle formation, with tens of thousands of people in your mere area, it will definitely be difficult to resist, why do you have such a big talent to accompany Lin Sen to bury him." If it does not fall, when it is broken and annexed, the chickens and dogs will not be left. ”

First solicited, and then threatened, this is a normal process, Zhang Liao really couldn't go on, laughed, and said: "Ma Mengqi, you are really whimsical, my lord is a thief?" You are really confused, my lord has been fighting in the north and south for many years, and he is in Kuangfu Han Dynasty, he Lu Fengxian wantonly slaughtered the loyal and good people of the imperial court, the son of fish and meat, even more than Dong Zhuo in the past, he is the thief of my big man, you actually helped him, it is really lard blindfolded, and you still want me to submit to you, it is really ridiculous. ”

Only then did Ma Chao understand that Zhang Liao was thinking about it when he lowered his head just now, but he was acting, deceiving himself, and he took a lot of trouble to attract him, and the more he thought about it, the more he hated it.

"Good, good, good." Ma Chao shouted three words viciously, and each word popped out from between his teeth: "Since that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless." Offensive. ”

Zhang Liao immediately returned to his own military formation, limited by geographical advantages, Xiliang Iron Cavalry could only have less than 100 cavalry at a time to charge at the same time, so his pressure was much less.

Ma Chao was also angry, regardless of it, not to count the casualties, 200,000 iron cavalry continued to impact the defense line of the Jizhou army.

The charging ability of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is famous all over the world, and the Xiliang Iron Cavalry used by Lin Sen is invincible, and has made miraculous achievements many times, and it is a special type of military that Lin Sen relies on to dominate the north.

The Jizhou army resisted with difficulty, and a large shield could hold on to three impacts at most, and it was smashed by the impact.

The Xiliang Iron Riders are full of iron bumps, and the big shield in the hands of the giant shield wrestler is just a wooden board composed of high-grade wood wrapped in iron sheets, and the degree of solidity is naturally very different from that of the Xiliang Iron Horse, and the cooperation of the archers and giant spearmen can reduce the loss.

The precise archery of the archer, in the dark night is the soul messenger of the soul, when the giant shield force blocks the Xiliang iron horse, the giant spearman uses all his strength to stab down the iron horseman, and then stabs to death with a blow in the search for a fatal position, this is the conventional combat method of the Jizhou army, but in the face of the heavy armored cavalry, the giant spearman can not kill with one blow, so the efficiency is reduced a lot.

After all, the number of Xiliang Iron Cavalry was superior, and round after round of impact caused great damage to the Jizhou army, and the forced Jizhou army continued to retreat.

This is also in the game, after the soldier died, all the weapons and equipment on the body fell out, and it did not occupy space, which did not hinder the soldier's re-charge, the Jizhou army also had a characteristic, cleaning the battlefield was powerful, and while fighting picked up the items and money that fell on the ground, whether it was the enemy's or his own brother who died in battle, therefore, in addition to the damaged weapons and equipment, the Jizhou army could not find a good thing.

In a quarter of an hour, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry launched more than a dozen charges, forcing the Jizhou army to retreat a mile away, and the position of the mountain pass has been completely caught, which also has the reason why Zhang Liao deliberately retreated, the mountain pass can not be held, then there is a large area of old camp behind it, the territory is wide, if there is a war here, it is also very unfavorable for them, withdraw to the rear, and continue to resist.

The form is getting more and more nervous, and the horse that has made progress is extremely excited, shouting loudly, and the frequency of the iron horse's charge is becoming more and more intensive, one by one the iron horse is shouting in the sky, constantly hitting the horse's buttocks, so the speed is faster, and the impact is greater.

"General Zhang, we're here......"

This shout was like a hungry person getting a mouthful of bread, like a thirsty person getting a mouthful of clear spring, Zhang Liao immediately turned back, and the soldiers of the Jizhou army also turned back.

"Brothers, here we ......"

It turned out that the brothers had arrived...... (To be continued.) )
