Ma Dai is still on the run.

But after running for a short time, I saw Ma Chao bring people to answer, and the first to rush over was the cavalry, and the three thousand cavalry bypassed them and rushed straight towards the pursuing soldiers of the Western Regions.

A charge passed, and the soldiers of the Western Regions on the periphery were cut into several phalanxes by the cavalry, and then intercepted and killed.

"Spear!"

Nanqi saw that the second wave of the Han cavalry charge soon came again, and hurriedly passed the order to counterattack.

The soldiers of the Western Regions erected a spear and were about to stab at the cavalry, the length of those spears was longer than that of Ma Chaozhi, and it seemed that they were specially used to deal with the cavalry.

"Separate!"

The general of the cavalry did not dare to rush forward, and shouted again: "Retreat!" ”

All the cavalry received orders and retreated in an orderly manner.

"Chase!"

Nasui also ordered.

However, as soon as he chased out, he met the infantry led by Ma Chao.

Ma Dai fled back in embarrassment, joined Ma Chao, and launched a counterattack against Nanqi.

"Mortar!"

Ma Chao didn't have time to communicate with Ma Dai, so he directly ordered the cannon to be fired.

This group of people must be repulsed, otherwise they will not be able to hold the Jade Gate.

Rumble!

The mortar was moved forward, the shell bombarded out, and exploded in the Nanqi army, killing an unknown number of people on the spot, and the remaining soldiers of the Western Regions, under the order of Nanqi, advanced forward against the artillery fire.

Ma Chao urged, continued to bombard with mortars, the shells were shot out continuously, the sound of artillery sounded in pieces, the soldiers of the Western Regions did not bring firearms in, at this time in the face of mortars, basically only beaten, was beaten so that there was no room to fight back.

Seeing that the front army had suffered heavy casualties, Nanqi did not dare to advance any further, so he ordered to stop the attack and retreat to open up the distance.

Seeing that they had retreated, Ma Chao had no intention of letting go, and shouted: "Chase!" ”

The cavalry pursued first, and the infantry was also approaching, launching an attack, and the cavalry quickly killed the enemy, and when they saw the soldiers of the Western Regions raising their spears again, they stopped charging.

As soon as the soldiers in the Western Regions were in chaos, Ma Chao found an opportunity to chase them, narrowed the distance, and continued to bombard them with mortars.

Nanqi's ability to lead troops is far inferior to Ma Chao, and after several collisions between the two sides, he was beaten by Ma Chao and had no way to deal with it.

There are only more than 10,000 soldiers brought out by Ma Chao, and in the face of the soldiers in the Western Regions who still have more than 40,000 people, they are not intimidated at all.

They hit straight over.

Nanqi was beaten and kept retreating.

Just when Ma Chao was about to completely kill this group of people from the Western Regions, there was another cannon sound from the side of Yumen Pass.

The Western Regions Coalition forces outside the pass were almost rested, and they launched an attack again to force the pass.

On Pound's side, someone came to give an order to Ma Chao, and the enemy came again.

Ma Chao was hesitating whether to go back to guard the pass, or continue to fight with Nanqi, the pass was taken away 10,000 people, and a batch of firearms, Pang De They will have a hard time guarding.

"Big brother, you go back first!"

Ma Dai went out, gritted his teeth and said: "Leave the cavalry and two thousand infantry to me, I will guard here, I can delay them, Yumen Pass is more important." ”

Ma Chao could only do this, and said loudly: "Okay! ”

Cavalry was of little use in defending a city, except when it came to fighting the enemy.

But outside the Yumen Pass, there are hundreds of thousands of troops, thousands of cavalry rushed out, and they will soon be engulfed, and now they can only be used to counterattack Nanqi.

Ma Chao left behind 3,000 cavalry and 2,000 infantry, and quickly retreated.

There are more than 1,000 people around Ma Dai, plus mortars and other mortars, etc., there are also two left, and there are still the remaining Divine Fire Crows, confident that they can still drag the enemy, at present, all they can use is the bombardment of firearms, and the enemy will not dare to move forward.

"Use the Divine Fire Raven first!"

Ma Dai shouted in order.

Rumble!

The sound of the Divine Fire Flying Crow bursting rang out like this, and the soldiers of the Western Regions led by Nanqi were pressed by firearms to fight, and they were beaten for a while and did not dare to move forward, so they could only retreat in embarrassment.

As soon as they retreated, the cavalry rushed forward, cut through the battlefield and killed for a while, and then Ma Dai led his troops to chase after them and bombard them with firearms.

Nanqi repeated the impact, but there was no way to break through the interception of artillery fire, so they had no choice but to retreat for several miles and camp, and at the same time send the news back here, asking for support from Gui Xumi, the passage on this side was opened by them, and the reinforcements could bypass Yumen Pass and enter Liangzhou.

They can do a lot as long as support is in place.

The two sides were in a stalemate for a while, and each of them quit the battle and did not fight again.

When the jade gate was closed, the enemy who attacked the key points quickly retreated, and Ma Chao, who was guarding the pass, gasped slightly, and then sent someone to contact Ma Dai to ensure that there was no problem over there, and he held it again for the time being.

But this is only temporary, and the enemy will definitely attack again.

"Has the shadow been in for a long time?"

Ma Chao asked anxiously.

They were all waiting for Yang Zhao's support, but they couldn't wait, so they could only fight to the death with Yumen Pass.

Ma Xiu shook his head and said: "Not for the time being, from Luoyang to Yumen Pass, the road is far away, it is not easy for the lord to rush over, the most important thing is that the people of the Western Regions attacked too suddenly, and we and the lord have no defense." ”

Pang De suggested: "Meng Qi, should we give up the Yumen Pass and retreat to Liangzhou to defend again?" ”

Ma Chao looked outside, it was already evening at this time, and the enemy's camp was lit with countless lights, spreading on the plain outside the pass, and the flames were like a galaxy falling from the sky.

From this, it can be seen how many enemies there are and how huge the momentum is.

"Hundreds of thousands of troops from the Western Regions have come in, even if we give up the Yumen Pass and garrison in Dunhuang, Jiuquan and other places, as long as the support of the lord fails to arrive in time, it may be lost in the end, which is not much better than the Yumen Pass." Ma Chao said helplessly.

And that's exactly what happened!

Having given up the Yumen Pass, their next defense may be more difficult, unless they escape all the way back to the vicinity of Xiao Pass.

As for the lord's support, they don't know when they will arrive.

Pound shook his head and said, "It's a little difficult!" ”

——

Outside the customs.

Gui Xu Mi got the news that it was difficult to live, and although he entered Liangzhou, it was still difficult to attack under the Yumen Pass and asked for support.

"Rubbish!"

Gui Xu said unhappily: "Fifty thousand people, but there are still a few thousand." ”

Soge said: "On our side, there is a shortage of artillery, so I will arrange 20,000 people, try to bring a few artillery, and pass through the valley overnight to support General Zuo." ”

For this arrangement, Gui Sumi did not refuse.

The road in the valley had to be controlled before they could enter the rear of the Yumen Pass.

The reinforcements were quickly ready, five artillery pieces, sent to the valley, and some ammunition.

Gui Xu Mi said: "Tomorrow morning, continue the attack!" ”

Early the next morning.

Just after dawn, the sound of war drums woke up countless soldiers guarding the gate.

However, the soldiers were almost numb to the sound of the drums, and every time it sounded, it meant that the enemy was attacking again, and the defense of the pass could not be numb, and they must gather together to defend as soon as possible.
