Zhuge Liang returned, Pang Tong retreated decisively, he had taken a big advantage, the current situation Zhuge Liang is menacing, obviously not suitable for death, it is the most correct decision to avoid its edge first.

Ma Chao's face was a little pale, after Pang Tong left, the ring of divine fire slowly disappeared, and the army in the city swarmed out, one by one, all in black, and even some people burned fire, constantly rolling on the ground and screaming, etc., and with some people who were still trapped in the city, Michi really became a flame area, which was daunting.

This time, Ma Chao was completely calculated, and lost nearly 300,000 soldiers and horses, a large part of which were Xiliang elites, these people were all warriors of a hundred battles, and they never thought that they did not die under the sword, but on the battlefield, but were trapped and killed by a fire, which can be described as extremely aggrieved.

The Xiliang Army is one of the main combat forces of the coalition army, Ma Chao brought out a total of 600,000 horses this time, lost more than 100,000 in Bingzhou, and another 200,000 people were buried in the fire, the number was directly removed two-thirds, and the remaining 200,000 people also became frightened birds, many people were burned, and even some people were blind due to the smoke. It can be said that Ma Chao has fallen big this time, and his military strength has fallen to the bottom of the coalition army, and he is not as good as the newcomer Zhang Yan.

Ma Teng died in battle, Xiliang was empty, but at this time, Ma Chao's combat strength suffered such a huge loss, this is an unacceptable situation, Ma Chao has walked to the edge of the cliff, if he chooses to return to Xiliang now, then relying on his hundreds of thousands of horses can still make some young people break their minds, and if he chooses to continue to stay in Sili, it is very likely that the remaining troops will also be exhausted, and if the Jizhou army can't hold out, it will take time, and the changes in Xiliang will be difficult to control.

Get back? gave up against Zhang Fan, who had a grudge against him for killing his father, and returned to Xiliang in disgrace?

Ma Chao naturally wouldn't do this, there was a faint murderous intent in his pale face, and more of a deep sorrow and remorse, if he hadn't fallen into the trap, the combat power of the coalition army should have reached its peak at this moment, and he could calmly arrange an offensive to avenge himself, but now the situation has become confusing again, which can only be blamed on himself.

Zhuge Liang led the army to come, and he was also shocked to see this situation, Ma Chao sighed first: "It's all to blame for not following Mr.'s instructions, all the responsibility for this battle lies with me, and please don't blame Mr.!" ”

Ma Chao's posture was very low, and it could be seen that he was in pain now, and he had already repented, Zhuge Liang was helpless, he was not good at blaming more, so he hurriedly said: "Where is this young marshal, it is just to blame the opponent for being too vicious!" ”

After a pause, he pointed to a person beside him who looked like a fierce general: "This is General Zhang Yan, this time he led 200,000 troops to come, all of them are elite, I believe that they can fight against the chaos!" ”

Ma Chao hurriedly hugged his fists and saw it, but Zhang Yan looked like he was ignoring: "What kind of character is the turmoil?" If I said that I might have the strength to fight before, but after tonight, I am afraid that there is no hope, since I am already here today, I will naturally not have two hearts, but I am a brother who has followed me all the year round, if I die in vain, it is not possible! ”

What he said was very obvious, he would not participate in those stalemate battles, and the 200,000 troops under his command could only be used as hole cards, and they should be invested at critical moments, or when he felt hopeful, and those siege battles should not be counted on him.

Zhang Yan's unkind appearance made Ma Chao a little annoyed: "Doesn't the general want to kill the chaos and take revenge?" ”

"Revenge? I want to do it better than anyone else! Zhang Yan's face was cold: "I have been at war with Fengyun Chao for a long time, at that time his strength was still weak and his power was small, but he was able to defeat the main force of the Yellow Turban, this person's overall view is unimaginable!" I pulled up an army of 200,000 just to be able to come in handy one day, although Cao Cao couldn't do anything about me, but I also knew that I would not be the opponent of the turmoil, so I didn't start rashly, I thought that Lu Bu died in battle, and General Meng Qi could provoke the beam, but I didn't expect that it was still a big defeat and loss, and it was calculated so far, if I don't save my strength, I'm afraid there is no hope for revenge! ”

Ma Chao was silent when he heard this, and it was not wrong to think so from Zhang Yan's standpoint, but it was only to blame Ma Chao for not being able to hold it back, and he suffered such a big defeat, and he was no one else.

Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart, but his face did not show a cent, he could not have a stiff fight with Zhang Yan, this is no good, if it is said that Zhang Yan's arrival was to lay the foundation of victory, it is the icing on the cake, then Zhang Yan has now become the most critical point in the coalition army, the Xiliang army was defeated, and most of the soldiers of the coalition army are recruits, only the 200,000 elite army is its backbone combat force, if Zhang Yan is forced away, or let him feel disgusted, then the next battle is not necessary to fight at all, just surrender directly.

The opportunity has been lost, and the next step is not to play too aggressively, we must play steadily and slowly, and slowly bring back the advantage, otherwise it will really be a catastrophe.

All in all, the coalition forces instantly fell into a passive defensive situation, they need to digest this defeat well, after dawn Zhang Fan finally returned to Keiguan, he came with a great victory, echoing with the defenders, so that the morale was greatly boosted, and the fighting spirit boiled.

Knowing the result of Pang Tong's victory over Ma Chao in the Burning City, Zhang Fan's eyes lit up, but Zhang Yan's arrival made him frown slightly, which meant that Cao Cao could send more soldiers and horses to counterattack Qingzhou Jaw, which was not a good thing.

Although Guo Jia is dead, Cao Cao's strength has been greatly damaged, but no matter when Cao Cao is an existence that cannot be ignored, Zhang Fan sensed a hint of danger, although Si Li and Hexi won a big victory, but the overall situation does not seem to have improved, and there is no room for mistakes at this moment.

"Now that our army has won successive victories, although the morale is up, it is suspected of being arrogant, and it is time to stabilize it!"

Zhang Fan is very sensible: "Now the coalition forces dare not attack rashly, Xiliang is a leaderless situation, I have sent people to harass and build momentum, it will be chaotic after a long time, Ma Chao's top priority is to return to Xiliang, so we don't need to attack, as long as we hold on for a period of time, there will be problems within the coalition army, and it will be easier to disintegrate!" ”

Pang Tong and Jia Xu are meaningless, although the Xiliang army has been defeated, but Zhuge Liang has returned, and he has brought Zhang Yan this new force, and Ma Chao's defeat will undoubtedly make Zhuge Liang vigilant, and he will inevitably make more arrangements, and it is easy to fall into a trap if he attacks rashly, on the contrary, as long as his own troops do not move, Ma Chao is in a dilemma, and Zhang Yan's mind will float, and then it will be the best fighter.

The enemy army stands in the wind and rain, and I am as immobile as a mountain, sitting and watching the wind and clouds!
